Start of #Exalted buffer: Wed Apr 22 21:42:27 2009 [17:38:24] Dem, care to catch me up on things? [17:39:14] bWhat's the last you remember? [17:39:31] Nova: It's even better, since usually when someone gets left behind in Left 4 Dead, they're a HUGE bitch about it [17:39:32] We had just taken out that pirate lord guy. [17:39:37] Like, literally refusing to play [17:39:49] Hahahahah [17:39:53] So, by being selfless, I also selfishly prove myself better than them. :V [17:40:04] ...it's in the name of the game [17:40:09] hahahaha [17:40:36] Rusty: Okay, we finally got to Horbek's Glory, only to find that the dwarven town had gnolls attacking [17:41:26] We took out the gnolls, and found out a bit about the place. [17:41:44] They don't have the food we wanted. Not right now, anyway. They had this thing, the Seed of Something. [17:41:49] Also notable was that the dwarven town was almost entirely abandoned and falling into ruins [17:42:10] Probably, skeletons were also not an uncommon occurance. Kind of a shithole [17:42:17] (regular skeletons, not undead ones) [17:42:18] What about lava? [17:42:30] Maybe underneath it [17:42:34] It was supposed to give lots of food, but orcs, claiming to come from Nerath, had sent a diplomat to ask them to join their empire [17:42:36] Since, you know, mountain [17:42:49] The dwarves killed the messenger , and now they're fighting off an invasion force [17:42:52] Nova: I think the thing is, when you die in versus, you're out of the game. [17:43:04] At least until the next round [17:43:23] So a lot of people would rather see the whole team die trying to save them than have the team go on without them. [17:43:54] It's really selfish, but I guess the attitude is 'I won't play the game if I can't always be playing the game' [17:44:45] On the way back to the center of the city, we were attacked by kobolds, but fought them off. It turns out, the kobolds and dwarves were both reduced to fighting over food. [17:45:04] The kobolds agreed to help us reclaim the Seed, though. [17:46:13] They knew of a secret tunnel path to get to it, and we went through it while the kobolds and dwarves made a combined attack against the orcs to draw their forces away [17:47:24] We were in a situation where we want to get the seed, but Eve and Plow both want to know what the hell is going on with the orcs claiming to be from Nerath. So while we're fighting, we made an agreement with the orcs that if we don't strike to kill, they won't strike to kill. [17:47:42] We're currently mid fight [17:48:02] I see. [17:50:29] Currently, we're just in a really really unclear moral position and who's in the right, but we're pretty sure the dwarves need that Seed. But they did a pretty quesitonable thing by killing the messenger. So we're trying nto to kill so much until we get this whole thing sorted out [17:51:01] One of the orcs we're fighting is wearing symbols of Erathis and Gruumsh [17:51:42] Xan would likely suggest that a middle ground be formed [17:52:20] Is everyone here? We should get IC and get in-channel since Matt probably isn't coming [17:52:41] [Warrior 1/3] 23 [Eve] 21 [Berserker 2] 19 [Plow] 15 [Wolf 2] 15 [Wolf 1] 13 [Berserker 1] 13 [Eye] 12 [Eilenia] 10 [Paera] 5 [Warrior 2/4] 4' [17:52:41] [14:04:29] * Set by Charles!CHBoucher@dsl2-161. [17:52:45] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:53:08] I'm in [17:53:13] * Fuuko (demota@c-76-126-71-112.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:53:38] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:53:50] * Mechazawa is now known as Xan [17:55:17] If you could set that as the topic, I'd really appreciate it, Dem [17:55:20] Or if you could op me [17:55:25] Yeah [17:55:29] Yoooon [17:55:49] We need init from Xan, yeah? [17:56:46] I am now hosting [17:57:05] Yeah [17:57:32] lemme pull all that up [17:59:59] damn [18:00:01] * Yon is now known as Paera [18:00:29] anyone remember if i spent my ap? [18:00:43] lemme check the old logs [18:01:02] comps having to dl an update to the builder [18:01:31] [21:30:23] Action pointing for... [18:01:31] [21:30:43] Funneling Fury [18:02:00] I thought that said funneling furry for a second [18:02:04] gotcha [18:02:08] thanks [18:02:21] ... god, no. No, that just reminded me of the worst furry fanart I ever heard of. >_< [18:02:28] Alright, I'm gonna try to open up the map from the last session [18:02:38] But my Gametable takes forever and a day to do that shit [18:03:19] Some furry with a tube jammed up their anus and poop is going through the tube and into a funnel which points at their mouth [18:03:33] Thanks Dem, I needed that description. [18:03:43] What did you need it for? D: [18:03:44] wow awesome [18:03:45] Me too [18:04:08] I managed to forget the pain in my wrist for a moment. thanks dem [18:04:12] Hey, I'm not the one that said "funneling furry" [18:04:22] It's like a perpetual motion fetish [18:04:45] I just thought of sonic the hedgehog doing a kegstand. [18:05:03] the world will soon be powered by scat furry porn. [18:05:05] Alright, roll init, Rusty [18:06:01] 1d20+9 [18:06:01] Xan rolls 1D20+9: 18 +9 = 27 [18:06:17] i think he goes before me :V [18:06:41] I'm trying to figure out how the hell I'm supposed to shoot nonlethal arrows. [18:06:46] http://www.qwantz.com/archive/001452.html [18:06:55] Shoot them in the arm. [18:06:57] aim for the shoulder? [18:07:01] Shoulder works too [18:07:11] Or you could aim for the head, it's not like orcs have anything in there anyway. :V [18:07:16] Attach a boxing glove to the end. :colbert: [18:07:17] s'what Divine Arrow did to phanos [18:07:35] Also, you don't shoot arrows [18:07:43] You shoot bolts of weird mercurial alchemical force [18:07:43] (get some glue arrows too, those're awesome) [18:08:06] Oooh [18:08:13] Okay, so if it's not a bullet, it can do anything [18:08:29] So I think that saying that you can use them to deliver a nonlethal force isn't stretching disbelief any more than having them on the first place [18:08:37] Like how in Batman, blasters just fire pure kinetic force that spreads out enough not to puncture the skin [18:09:23] Indeed [18:09:28] perhaps I can shoot bolas. [18:09:33] I've actually done that already [18:09:48] Whose turn is it anyway? [18:09:53] Xan's actually [18:10:01] [22:04:13] * Paera pulls herself to her feet, gritting her teeth. "That's great for you. I don't know where I came from, [18:10:01] so I don't have anything to remember. I just know that people are fighting to survive, and Erathis has charged me to [18:10:01] help them!" She chants another prayer, easing Eilenia's wounds. [18:10:01] [22:10:32] [Session on hold until next week] [18:10:03] Oh, okay [18:10:10] When you show up (Or were there all along) emote killing a dire wolf along with your actual attack [18:10:23] I fucked up designing the encounter and need to rectify that [18:10:39] You mean knocking out a dire wolf. :| [18:10:53] we can kill the animals [18:11:05] dire wolf meat is tastey [18:11:09] Noooooo :( [18:11:15] Okay, while I connect to gt (comps taking forever) can someone give me a sitrep? [18:11:20] I'm pretty sure the PETA were some of the first to die in the fall. [18:11:28] So kill all the animals you want. :V [18:11:31] Also, Ip repost and whatnot? * Retrieving #Exalted modes... [18:11:47] 76.126.71.112 / Port 6812 [18:11:57] We seem to be okay for the most part [18:12:17] I need to record the healing that Paera gave me [18:12:46] Oh. Paera didn't roll the heal number yet [18:13:19] eve has 2 berserkers and a caster marked [18:13:21] Huh? [18:13:35] okay, where should I place my pog? [18:13:44] dire wolf is threatening peara [18:14:18] How about placing it on the stairs then putting it somewhere in Move range? [18:15:04] Yeah, that sounds reasonable [18:15:34] what are the boxes with slanted lines? [18:15:52] blocks los [18:16:09] large stacked sfelves or something [18:16:40] Yeah [18:16:46] Regular boxes give cover [18:16:46] Can I somehow get on top of them? [18:16:49] They're just shelves [18:16:53] Sounds like an athletics check [18:16:56] Maybe with an ath- HIVE MIND [18:17:07] That's what I'll be doing then. I need to get some flying boots. [18:17:10] or a flying hook [18:17:40] Acro wouldnt work? [18:17:41] A hookshot? [18:17:50] Acro is more tumbling and that stuff [18:18:53] I sort of think about trapeeze artists and gymnasts when I think acrobatics [18:19:06] and I'd always sort of assumed they'd be better at climbing bookshelves [18:19:32] Acrobatics is for doing fancy shit, while athletics is the workhorse skill of getting around [18:19:49] Climb is part of Athletics. [18:19:50] I mean, if you want to do a backflip once you're up there, acrobatics would be okay, but climbing is definitely athletics [18:19:55] maybe you can wall kick up there? [18:20:02] with acro [18:20:02] Hrmm, alright, fair enough. [18:20:28] Xan isn't Mario, Chun-Li, or Vega, no matter how hard I pray every night that he is. :( [18:20:30] 1d20+6 Ath [18:20:30] Xan rolls 1D20+6: 2 +6 = 8 [18:20:38] And I don't think I make it. [18:20:41] Nope [18:20:54] You can probably at least snipe around the corner. [18:20:59] 4e doesn't give any advantage for height [18:21:07] what is the guthzerai racial power? [18:21:19] gith [18:21:20] checking compendium [18:21:29] lets you get an armor boost [18:21:38] Huh. That seems weird for gith [18:21:42] Okay, so what does Xan do? [18:21:52] Let's get this thing started, it's been ten minutes since session start. :{ [18:22:00] Well, if i fail my check, isnt that my turn? [18:22:01] thought it was telekine githyanki [18:22:02] And I still need Elena's heal number [18:22:21] I have no idea [18:22:25] Let's get on with it [18:22:31] you still have a standard [18:23:06] okay, well, I'll twin strike the thing on paera [18:23:22] 2x1d20+9 [18:23:22] Xan rolls 2x1D20+9: ( 20 +9 = 29 ) ( 18 +9 = 27 ) = 56 [18:23:27] Holy crap [18:23:27] yay [18:23:38] How did you do that? [18:23:40] This is why I hope you folks don't mind my being back:) [18:23:48] Xan has good karma? [18:24:17] so thats 12, plus 8 for quarry,, [18:24:22] I think Xan could have moved, failed the check as part of a move, and now be shooting from next to a stack or whatever [18:24:28] and [18:24:34] 1d10+2 [18:24:34] Xan rolls 1D10+2: 6 +2 = 8 [18:24:38] Good idea. Maybe even from behind cover of one of the stacks [18:24:42] sure [18:25:57] I'll emote [18:26:12] Apologies for taking that long. I'm re-learning here. [18:26:50] No problem [18:27:00] 1d20+14 [18:27:00] Charles rolls 1D20+14: 18 +14 = 32 [18:27:15] Six damage, Yon [18:27:29] :( [18:28:16] Your go, Nova [18:28:26] staggering smite [18:28:34] 1d20+9 [18:28:34] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+9: 5 +9 = 14 [18:28:38] fuck [18:28:41] vs ac [18:29:01] Narrow miss. :/ [18:29:11] i fucking hate missing on encounter powers [18:29:21] my turn [18:29:28] +is over [18:29:35] 1d20+8 [18:29:35] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 5 +8 = 13 [18:29:47] Well, on the upside, the raider misses, too [18:30:24] Dem: The healing is surge + 5 + 1d6 [18:30:38] 1d20+10 [18:30:38] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 14 +10 = 24 [18:30:45] 24 hit Yon? [18:30:50] Thanks [18:30:53] 1d6+5 [18:30:53] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 2 +5 = 7 [18:30:55] Yes [18:30:56] Whoop [18:31:00] 2d8+4 [18:31:00] Charles rolls 2D8+4: 5 6 +4 = 15 [18:31:05] 15 damage. :( [18:31:24] Oh, how much damage did you do, Rusty? I didn't catch that [18:31:26] I'm at 27/32 HP [18:31:28] I'm happy [18:31:31] Bloodied. [18:32:27] Tieflings get +1 to hit when bloodied, yah? [18:32:37] I think it's to hit bloodied targets [18:32:50] Ooooh. Derp [18:32:57] http://www.prizemyeyes.com/images/black_labrador_puppy_b2.jpg [18:32:59] 1d20+8 [18:32:59] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 7 +8 = 15 [18:33:14] 15 misses, right Nova? [18:33:35] Yeah, though I have a racial encounter against anything that's hit me since my last turn. [18:34:13] yes [18:34:22] my ac is 16 [18:34:37] Whoops, misread the stat block, he can't use Warrior's Surge yet [18:34:39] oh wait [18:34:47] save vs. ac penalty [18:34:51] 1d20 [18:34:52] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 14 [18:34:56] ac 20 [18:35:24] Alright. The eye's gonna take a ranged attack, so OA if you want to, Eve [18:35:30] 1d20+8 [18:35:30] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 10 +8 = 18 [18:35:41] certainly [18:35:56] * Darkheart (lol@fl-67-233-174-168.dhcp.embarqhsd.net) has joined #Exalted [18:35:59] 1d20+11 [18:36:00] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+11: 17 +11 = 28 [18:36:12] 1d10+4 [18:36:13] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+4: 9 +4 = 13 [18:36:15] Hey DH [18:37:30] Hey. [18:38:22] Hm. Hold on, was the eye still stunned, or was that from before and I forgot to remove the tag? [18:38:24] Hahahaha, I love this avatar. [18:38:37] http://fi.somethingawful.com/customtitles/title-a_black_person-3.gif Text: "This city is afraid of me." [18:39:00] wasn't something from me [18:39:18] It was something from Eilenia. But I can't remember when she did the ice slick/prismatic spray comb [18:39:23] *combo [18:40:08] Looks like it was. Oh well. I already made the move, and it'd be dumb to unmake it [18:40:09] It was the first turn [18:40:18] That's a fabulous avatar [18:40:21] Oh, in that case, he should be undazed, I think [18:40:36] Yeah [18:40:48] Hahahahha "My teacher pronouces the KKK as the Klue Klux Klan." "Haven't you heard of this? It's the branch of the Klan where one guy secretly kills all the black people and the rest of the Klansmen try to figure out who did it." [18:41:14] It was Jimbob at the tree with the rope. [18:41:23] hahahahaha [18:41:31] If 18 hit your will, you're down to 16 AC again [18:41:35] 1d20+10 [18:41:37] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 20 +10 = 30 [18:41:44] also. my mark is up [18:41:50] The great thing is, Mr. Boddy was named Mr. Black in the original version [18:41:52] on the berserkers [18:41:53] Er, Doctor Black [18:42:02] That he was. [18:42:04] And he hits for 11 damage [18:42:19] okay. ac 16 again [18:42:25] ...How the fuck *do* you pronouce 'Klu' if not 'clue' [18:42:59] You're up, Dem [18:43:11] Maybe I'm reading it wrong and they actually wrote it down [18:43:11] Close blasting. [18:43:18] Left to right [18:43:23] Thunderwave [18:43:26] 1d6+5 [18:43:29] how much damage did i take? [18:43:29] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 6 +5 = 11 [18:43:33] 11 [18:43:36] 3x1d20+7 [18:43:39] Eilenia rolls 3x1D20+7: ( 7 +7 = 14 ) ( 12 +7 = 19 ) ( 12 +7 = 19 ) = 52 [18:43:44] vs Fort [18:43:53] Miss, hit, hit [18:44:10] I choose not to push, since Eve wants them close [18:44:37] coo [18:45:01] Oh, once Dem gets Arcane Power, he was gonna do Eilenia as a Illusionist, IIRC [18:45:06] I'm pretty excited about it [18:45:16] She's gonna go for the Fey Liege epic destiny. [18:45:22] Who all attacked me? [18:45:29] Rusty, you will LOVE the res ability [18:45:31] The wolf and the warrior [18:45:52] Great, I'm pinned AGAIN. [18:45:56] Once per day, if Elena dies, Elena from the future travels back in time and fights in her place, then rezzes her when the fight is over. [18:46:18] Damn [18:46:43] Atleast you can shift and do a basic melee. [18:46:44] Well, the warrior's a minion [18:46:51] If it's gone, you're good [18:47:32] Thats pretty cool [18:47:38] Getting up, shifting, harmony of erathis for my minor. [18:48:13] I have a penalty to my basic melee, so it's right out. [18:48:19] heh [18:48:41] My favorite part of that power is that, after the fight, your future self ressurects your current self. If your current self's body is gone, you can keep playing as the future self [18:48:52] Until you have means to rez without a body [18:48:53] Yeah. Until you get the old body back, anyway. [18:49:05] +2 attack bonus on next roll to... [18:49:06] I forget, Nova, do you have a pdf of the Stargate d20 RPG? I can send it to you if you like [18:49:12] WHich can lead to a russian doll scenario, where you keep dying and losing your corpse and playing progressively older versions of yourself [18:49:15] Xan. [18:49:26] sure that'd be cool [18:50:51] Whooo, Xan [18:51:17] yay [18:51:19] alright [18:51:53] Two-fanged at the wolf 2 [18:52:01] gonna make another ath check [18:52:06] after the attack rolls [18:52:14] 2x1d20+9 [18:52:15] Xan rolls 2x1D20+9: ( 19 +9 = 28 ) ( 3 +9 = 12 ) = 40 [18:52:18] It might be a good idea to split the attack between the wolf and minion [18:52:25] So that the wolf doesn't kill Paera next turn [18:53:40] hrmm, sure [18:55:16] Unless someone else can take care of that situation, I don't know [18:55:32] Either way, say what hit what, and roll damage, I guess [18:56:25] attack 1 on wolf, 2 on minion [18:56:40] 1d10+5 1d8 [18:56:40] Xan rolls [ 1D10+5: 1 +5 = 6 ] [ 1D8: 5 ] = 11 [18:56:50] ath check now [18:56:53] 1d20+6 [18:56:53] Xan rolls 1D20+6: 7 +6 = 13 [18:57:11] Law of averages. :( [18:57:27] yep [18:58:13] You're up, Nova [18:58:38] dual strike on eye [18:58:48] 2x1d20+9 [18:58:48] Eve_Kasnora rolls 2x1D20+9: ( 13 +9 = 22 ) ( 11 +9 = 20 ) = 42 [18:59:01] Both hit [18:59:07] 2d10 [18:59:07] Eve_Kasnora rolls 2D10: 9 1 = 10 [18:59:17] law of averages? [18:59:42] and DC on berserker adjacent to eye [19:00:06] Law of averages is that with a larger sample size, numbers tend to fall towards the average. [19:00:27] So you could roll 3d20 and get three numbers above 15... [19:00:30] Do you get a strength bonus to damage on those? [19:00:33] But that's not likely to happen fi you roll 30d20 [19:00:53] So Xan didn't kill the minion? :( [19:01:19] Nope [19:01:28] :( [19:01:53] Nova: Did you get a strenght bonus to damage? [19:02:02] no [19:02:18] 1d20+8 [19:02:18] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 14 +8 = 22 [19:02:23] just weapon for dual strike [19:02:32] Huh [19:02:33] and save for ac [19:02:34] 1d12+5 [19:02:34] Charles rolls 1D12+5: 2 +5 = 7 [19:02:34] Interesting [19:02:37] 1d20 [19:02:37] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 1 [19:02:40] :( [19:02:41] 7 damage [19:02:43] ac 16 [19:03:00] to me? [19:03:02] Yeah [19:03:05] bloodied [19:03:05] 1d20+14 [19:03:05] Charles rolls 1D20+14: 19 +14 = 33 [19:03:09] And 6 to Yon [19:03:41] 1d20+10 [19:03:41] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 7 +10 = 17 [19:03:42] Awesome, I'm down to 1 hp.
