Start of #Exalted buffer: Thu Apr 30 06:19:16 2009 [16:44:02] So Plow is back tonight? [16:44:12] Yah. [16:44:17] Awesome :D [16:45:07] Unfortunately, Xan is less assured.... [16:45:44] Well, roommate problems actually. My fucking roommate forgot to pay the bill, spent the money he would have paid it with, and ended up getting us cut off from internet AND cable in the process. I'm bored fucking stiff over here, incredibly irritated by his actions, and having to type all of this out on my cellphone. I get paid tomorrow, so it'll be in order by then. In the mean time you have my sincerest apologies for just up and dropping on Monday. i stayed up til around 1am trying to reconnect before I gave it up. I'm going to ask my friend if I can go over to his house and use his wireless tonight, and Ill let you know how that goes. Im so sorry man. If its any consolation, Ive got no tv, no internet, and utterly nothing to do. Guess Oddworld will come in handy in the meantime. If you need to contact me, email me, since I can check it on my phone. -Mecha [16:46:27] on Monday. i stayed up til around 1am trying to reconnect before I gave it up. I'm going to ask my friend if I can go over to his house and use his wireless tonight, and Ill let you know how that goes. Im so sorry man. If its any consolation, Ive got no tv, no internet, and utterly nothing to do. Guess Oddworld will come in handy in the meantime. If you need to contact me, email me, since I can check it on my phone. -Mecha [16:46:34] He had to send that entire e-mail by text message. :/ [16:49:55] damn [16:50:21] Well, 4 heals per combat is still pretty swank. [16:50:48] Yeah [16:50:49] Also, going over Eve's sheet, I realized that Eve hasn't gotten a magic item in 3 levels. [16:52:05] ... oh dear [16:52:12] ...Huh. [16:52:25] I could have sworn you got to choose an item at the end of the Harborhead quest [16:52:29] In fact, I know you did. [16:52:33] So you probably should. [16:53:17] I only have this armor.. [16:53:31] What sorts of items were there to choose? [16:53:34] Elena has a robe and an orb [16:53:41] That's it [16:53:49] So, normal for me [16:53:54] Nova: You juts pick something you like, I think [16:54:07] What level? [16:54:33] Let's say between 3 and 5 [16:54:52] At this point I'm not inclined to look at everyone's sheets and try to divine what, if anything, they procured [16:55:19] * NovaSeaker nods. [16:55:47] I'll probably get a magic weapon of some sort for my templar blade. [16:56:36] Templar Blade? [16:57:04] The sword she was given for becoming a templar. [16:57:18] (And took with her when she left) [16:57:46] aaah [16:59:36] I didn't get an item, right, Charles? [16:59:42] Because I started with magic items? [16:59:52] Oh wait [16:59:52] Also [16:59:55] I wasn't at Harborhead. <_< [17:00:40] Honestly, I'm pretty tempted to just tell *everyone* to select items as though they had just made their characters after this arc is over [17:00:50] That'll solve the problems with missed items before this [17:01:12] We ought to have two magic items each, yeah? [17:01:20] 3 [17:01:22] Yeah [17:01:24] plus change [17:01:34] Well, I'm not coutning level 4 items yet. [17:01:40] If we're reseting to level, that is [17:02:19] Well, after this arc you'll be 5 and have 3 items each, which seems... more or less appropriate? [17:02:47] Yeah [17:02:57] Do I retcon my items up that level, then? [17:02:59] after the arc is over [17:03:06] *to that [17:03:16] Yeah, sure [17:05:14] K. [17:12:14] I'm getting a Vengeful Bastard Sword [17:12:22] It's pretty Defendery [17:12:43] Also, it's item power is an encounter power, not a daily, so I don't have to wait for milestones and whatnot [17:12:51] That would be cute, if it was an intelligent item called the "Vengeful Bastard" Sword. [17:12:55] Power (Encounter): Free Action. Use this power when an attack hits a bloodied ally within 10 squares of you. Gain a +2 power bonus to attack rolls and +1d10 on damage rolls against the attacker until the end of your next turn. [17:12:59] haha [17:13:06] hee [17:13:27] I like the Crazy Bastard Sword in KoL [17:13:31] It's dropped by a Crazy Bastard [17:13:36] That's particularly awesome because the bonus to attack and damage aren't just for attacks with the weapon. [17:13:55] So I can dual strike and potentially deal 4d10+4 damage. [17:14:40] Well, +5, because of the enhancement bonus on the attack actually using the magic weapon [17:14:52] Nice [17:15:11] So yeah.. if someone is already bloodied, and they get attacked, Eve's gonna be PISSED [17:15:46] Xaaaaaaaan noooooooo [17:17:04] Haha. [17:17:12] Motoyima's Dagger: [17:17:20] "This dagger was once used by Motoyima Takeshi." [17:17:21] ... [17:17:24] "No one knows who that is." [17:17:29] haha [17:19:22] hahah [17:20:05] Oh derp, it'd be 4d10+1, the +2 is to attack not damage [17:21:21] Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahah [17:21:22] The phrase "militant homosexual" is so common in religious-right jargon that L&J seem not to realize how peculiar it sounds to anyone who doesn't share their phobias. It provides us a glimpse of how they perceive the Pink Menace of homosexuality -- a faceless horde in refugee camps south of the border, lobbing deadly, indiscriminate rockets of gayness toward their peaceful homes. [17:21:47] Hahahahhahahhahahahahahahah [17:23:01] hahahahahahaha [17:41:24] http://zip.4chan.org/tg/src/1241049178722.jpg This is cool [17:45:39] Alright, get IC and get in #Odal [17:45:52] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:46:01] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:46:12] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:46:44] * Fuuko (demota@c-76-126-71-112.hsd1.ca.comcast.net) has joined #Exalted [17:47:14] You there, Matt? [17:47:38] Yup, sorry [17:47:41] Was just finishing a story battle [17:47:43] * MattyQ is now known as Plow [17:47:56] Crab battle [17:49:31] Is GT up? [17:49:33] did the kobolds kill them or are we rolling init? [17:49:46] You're rolling init [17:50:10] 1d20+3 [17:50:11] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+3: 6 +3 = 9 [17:50:14] i'm trying [17:50:19] :D [17:50:22] My GT is up [17:50:23] 1d20+6 [17:50:23] Plow rolls 1D20+6: 5 +6 = 11 [17:50:30] 1d20+7 [17:50:31] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 16 +7 = 23 [17:50:57] oh whoops, in before [session start] [17:52:22] Can I drop my pog, or are you doing any more GT setup, Cha? [17:52:39] Huh. Looking at the MA, those guys had scrapper claws but a stalker secondary [17:52:53] Let me see, I haven't managed to launch GT yet [17:53:00] The stealth was pretty painful [17:53:18] Does the stealth give them that extra damage? [17:53:25] I figured that was an effect of stalker primaries [17:53:53] Oh, yeah, it's all set up [17:54:26] The round things are big things of water. The red rectangles are everhot forges [17:54:34] The stealth is still pretty brutal. [17:54:36] Kay [17:54:40] 1d20+3 [17:54:40] Paera rolls 1D20+3: 8 +3 = 11 [17:55:45] You know, I have no idea how it works if you have a scrapper primary but a stalker secondary. [17:55:52] 1d20+6 [17:55:52] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 10 +6 = 16 [17:56:01] Yeah. THey were hitting me out of stealth for half my health [17:56:07] It might be the stealth giving the damage [17:56:11] Cha, is that stairs, or two little halls, or what? [17:56:14] 1d20+7 [17:56:15] Charles rolls 1D20+7: 12 +7 = 19 [17:56:16] Where we're all standing [17:56:31] My GUESS would be that they get the stalker Hidden bonus, but they don't get assassin strike. [17:56:37] Two halls, but only one leads to a door [17:56:44] Like, it's blocked off by shelves [17:56:44] K. [17:57:28] Ohshi, another eye. [17:57:31] I'm totally there! [17:58:03] 1d20+7 [17:58:03] Charles rolls 1D20+7: 15 +7 = 22 [17:58:08] I should totally get a sword that causes blindness [17:58:15] It would instakill like half of our enemies. [17:58:27] Instakill? [17:59:24] [Eilenia] 23 [Orc Cohort 1] 22 [Orc Cohort 2] 19 [Eye] 16 [Plow, Paera] 11 [Eve] 9 [17:59:43] Whoo [18:00:23] Lemme experiment with a template a little [18:01:37] Yeah, I got nothing. Let's see [18:02:02] Firing a CoD at the Eye [18:02:09] 1d20+7 vs ref [18:02:10] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 8 +7 = 15 [18:02:19] Shoot. I forgot to redo her stats [18:02:38] Hits his ref [18:02:52] 1d6+5 [18:02:53] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 2 +5 = 7 [18:03:29] End of Line [18:04:23] 1d20+5 [18:04:23] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 15 +5 = 20 [18:05:03] kobold klusters [18:05:05] Do allies provide cover for each other? [18:05:19] Nope [18:05:23] kruel kobold klusters kolide with krazy orks? [18:05:26] Boo. ._. [18:05:36] They do [18:05:45] For ranged attacks [18:05:48] 1d20+5 [18:05:48] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 10 +5 = 15 [18:06:02] Unboo. [18:06:10] 1d20+5 [18:06:10] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 14 +5 = 19 [18:06:10] Your allies don't hinder your ranged attacks, but your enemy's allies hinder them. [18:06:22] 1d6+4 [18:06:22] Charles rolls 1D6+4: 1 +4 = 5 [18:07:29] 1d20+5 [18:07:29] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 2 +5 = 7 [18:07:30] 1d20+5 [18:07:30] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 17 +5 = 22 [18:07:31] 1d20+5 [18:07:31] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 14 +5 = 19 [18:07:40] 2d6+8 [18:07:41] Charles rolls 2D6+8: 2 4 +8 = 14 [18:08:47] they moved right through the water? [18:09:10] It's difficult terrain [18:09:34] Probably four feet deep or so, not, like, huge wells [18:09:42] 1d20+5 [18:09:42] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 3 +5 = 8 [18:09:42] 1d20+5 [18:09:42] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 12 +5 = 17 [18:09:59] 1d20+8 [18:10:00] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 10 +8 = 18 [18:10:08] Ohh, are they supposed to be baths for cooling metal? [18:10:10] 18 hit your will, Nova? [18:10:11] Yeah [18:10:26] yes [18:10:39] -4 to AC, save ends [18:10:49] gotcha [18:10:59] lemme fix my pog with my defenses [18:11:34] I wanted to use Hypnotic Pattern, but it'd only catch one of them. :( [18:11:46] Oh! [18:11:48] My turn! [18:12:20] I should be trying to leave the kobolds alone, right? [18:12:24] I missed last session- [18:12:25] Correct [18:12:28] Kay. [18:12:43] yeah [18:13:30] Magic Weapon@Eye [18:13:34] 1d20+11 [18:13:34] Plow rolls 1D20+11: 12 +11 = 23 [18:13:36] vs AC [18:13:50] Hits [18:13:59] 1d10+5 [18:13:59] Plow rolls 1D10+5: 4 +5 = 9 [18:14:00] you uh... [18:14:08] Wha? [18:14:10] you wanna be next to someone when you do that Matt? [18:14:20] So we can get the power bonus to attack and damage? [18:14:36] Well, Eye has cover if I shoot through the dudes, and MW is at-will... [18:14:41] Hang on [18:15:00] Are you absolutely sure that creatures still provide cover to other creatures? [18:15:08] Yes [18:15:11] I know that enemies provide cover to enemies. [18:15:13] Damn. [18:15:16] Enemies provide cover for other enemies [18:15:27] Actually, he was covered regardless [18:15:28] And unfortunately, right there, you're firing through enemies no matter what [18:15:34] *nod* [18:15:38] Does 21 hit, Cha? [18:15:40] you can only hit one corner of the Eye's space without impediment [18:15:44] Alright, so Paera and Eve get the benefit ofMagic Weapon? [18:15:53] Yeah [18:15:57] Oh, kay. [18:16:12] +1 ATK/DMG for Pae and Eve until EOMTN. [18:16:15] 21 hits, yeah [18:16:20] 9 dmg to Eye. [18:16:27] End. [18:16:47] If they were hard corners, you'd technically be firing at Superior Cover, since only one corner is targetable, but enemies can't provide Superior Cover, only Cover. [18:16:55] Awesomes [18:17:30] Sacred flaming orc cohort 2. [18:17:46] 1d20+6 [18:17:46] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 9 +6 = 15 [18:18:08] Miss. :| [18:18:11] :(, rather [18:18:19] That's kinda become my default emoticon [18:18:45] heh [18:18:50] I'm partial to :/ [18:20:33] Okay [18:20:59] No OAs for that, right? [18:21:43] going to Dual Strike the Eye, marking it [18:21:59] 1d20+11 [18:21:59] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+11: 12 +11 = 23 [18:22:03] 1d20+10 [18:22:03] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+10: 19 +10 = 29 [18:22:34] 1d10+2 main hand [18:22:34] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+2: 2 +2 = 4 [18:22:38] 1d20+1 off hand [18:22:38] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+1: 6 +1 = 7 [18:22:41] er [18:22:46] 1d10+1 off hand [18:22:46] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+1: 2 +1 = 3 [18:22:59] lame. 7 damage [18:23:02] :( [18:23:15] And I DC the southern orc throng [18:24:05] Oh, if a melee attack is made against an enemy with a kluster in flanking position, it gets combat advantage [18:24:57] and save for AC [18:24:57] 1d20 [18:24:58] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 1 [18:25:04] :gonk: [18:25:12] Aw. [18:25:21] Hm... [18:25:24] Gotcha [18:25:30] the Kobolds are flanking with us [18:25:50] only melee attacks, or close attacks too? [18:26:06] Walking forward 5, gonna try to Thunderwave Cohort 2 and Eye [18:26:11] Might as well make it close so someone other than you can take advantage from it [18:26:20] er, 4 [18:26:20] I read 'Eye' as 'Eve' at first. :| [18:26:30] 2x1d20+7 [18:26:31] Eilenia rolls 2x1D20+7: ( 10 +7 = 17 ) ( 20 +7 = 27 ) = 44 [18:26:35] vs Fort [18:26:45] 1d6+5 [18:26:46] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 5 +5 = 10 [18:26:59] haha [18:27:01] You hit the eye [18:27:07] 10 damage, 11 on a crit, and I shove them back 3 squares. [18:27:15] Let's shove him 2 squares instead [18:27:25] HA nice [18:27:31] Into the Cloud of Daggers, where he takes3 force damage for entering. [18:27:33] Do you get the bonus for a magic orb? [18:27:37] sustain on cloud? [18:27:40] Oh, that's right [18:27:40] 1d6 [18:27:41] Eilenia rolls 1D6: 2 [18:27:49] And yeah, I'll use the Orb of Imposition to sustain [18:28:16] He's bloodied [18:28:31] nice round Dem [18:28:41] Wait wait [18:28:53] Hmm.. [18:28:56] Actually, i better save that [18:29:11] okay [18:29:11] I was going to use the Orb of Unlucky Exchanges to make the Eye suffer the Ac penalty instead of Eve [18:29:18] But we probably have more fights ahead [18:29:28] heh [18:29:29] yeah [18:29:34] Plus, I'm supposed to get hit [18:29:40] 1d20+6 [18:29:41] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 3 +6 = 9 [18:29:42] 1d20+6 [18:29:42] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 5 +6 = 11 [18:29:42] Nope [18:29:43] 1d20+6 [18:29:43] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 13 +6 = 19 [18:29:43] 1d20+6 [18:29:44] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 1 +6 = 7 [18:29:50] Free Action. Use this power when you hit a target with an attack with this implement. One effect affecting you or an ally within 5 squares of you ends. The [18:29:50] target gains that effect with the same duration. [18:29:57] Misses Eve [18:30:20] 1d20+8 [18:30:20] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 13 +8 = 21 [18:30:25] 2d8+4 [18:30:25] Charles rolls 2D8+4: 1 5 +4 = 10 [18:30:30] 10 damage on Eve [18:30:37] Kayo [18:30:42] What about that 19? [18:31:15] Oh, they were attacking the clusters with that one [18:31:27] They function like minions except they only make OAs and help with flanking [18:31:30] gotcha [18:31:50] Eve's looking bruised [18:32:06] didn't the kobolds have something that shot a platinum bolt from their back ranks? [18:32:24] Fixed [18:32:26] Yeah [18:32:58] At this point, he's just shouting orders in Draconic, trying to keep his men out of harm's way as best as possible. [18:33:14] He's probably still helping in the fight, just not in a way that's numerically represented. :| [18:33:30] 1d20+8 [18:33:30] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 8 +8 = 16 [18:33:30] 1d20+8 [18:33:31] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 2 +8 = 10 [18:33:48] 2d6+3 [18:33:48] Charles rolls 2D6+3: 2 6 +3 = 11 [18:33:57] gotcha [18:34:02] is it that red-scaled one? [18:34:14] 11 damage and prone on Eilenia, 5 damage and not prone on Paera [18:34:30] vs what? [18:35:05] Reflex [18:35:14] Which number was pointed at me? [18:35:16] I might Shield it [18:35:18] If you have shield prepped, now might be a good time to use it [18:35:20] The 16 [18:35:33] Yeah, I'm Shielding [18:35:46] Nova: It's one with more of a golden hue. Kind of a dusty yellow [18:35:49] 5 damage, then [18:35:55] Cool [18:36:19] Are you doing anything with the premis of "dragonwrought kobolds" or is scale color just flavor? [18:36:40] Also, challenging 20 orcs to a duel is badass :D [18:36:58] Can you end a throng's space? [18:37:00] enter* [18:37:01] Pretty much just flavor, I think, since I can't remember what dragonwrought kobolds were very much except just making them more draconic [18:37:03] Yeah, you can [18:37:10] difficult terrain? [18:37:12] But they can make OAs for every time you move through them, I thin [18:37:13] Yeah [18:37:21] Did the Eye take 3 more damage for starting his turn in the cloud? [18:37:26] 1d20+5 [18:37:26] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 4 +5 = 9 [18:37:26] 1d20+5 [18:37:26] Charles rolls 1D20+5: 15 +5 = 20 [18:37:58] hahahaha [18:38:00] 1d6+4 [18:38:00] Charles rolls 1D6+4: 1 +4 = 5 [18:38:06] He will, yeah [18:38:13] I like how Elena falling was an illusion [18:38:21] Is not actually my turn? [18:38:24] TIt is [18:38:24] Or are you just pre-rolling? [18:38:27] Oh, kay. [18:38:33] You said tit [18:38:42] Nova, do you want +2 fire damage for next turn, or +1 ac? [18:38:45] I was rolling for the kobolds making an attack on the Eye for making an area attack [18:38:51] (Ahhh) [18:39:01] What I was gonna say was 'The good thing about having an illusionist in the party is much easier retcons' [18:39:08] +1 ac [18:40:23] hahaha [18:41:21] Kay. [18:41:38] Thundering armor @ Cohort 1 [18:41:44] 1d20+6 [18:41:45] Plow rolls 1D20+6: 14 +6 = 20 [18:41:47] 20 v Fort [18:41:57] (Cohort is a group of orcs?) [18:42:14] yus [18:42:25] Do you want me to push the cohort? [18:42:59] 1d6+4 [18:42:59] Plow rolls 1D6+4: 2 +4 = 6 [18:43:02] If it hits, 6 dmg. [18:43:09] To get it away from me, if you could [18:43:21] Kay. [18:43:31] Oh [18:43:32] http://brucedroppings.com/2009/04/17/pensacola-christian-college-rules-and-regulations/ Hahahahahaha oh WOW [18:43:49] I can't push Cohort 1, cause of kobolds. Should I attack 2 instead? [18:43:59] Cohort 2? [18:44:02] Oh, that hits their fort, sorry [18:44:03] OH WAHT THE FUCK [18:44:19] New Jersey is claiming I owe them money when they owe ME a refund. [18:45:04] Good thing I went with HR Block and bought their 30 dollar peace of mind guarantee [18:45:14] ... [18:45:16] I'll advance the turn while you guys figure out who to damage [18:45:23] Well, I need to push someone too [18:45:33] and I'm not sure if Nova wants me to push his DC target [18:45:35] you don't need to push [18:45:39] Kayz. [18:45:43] In that case, 6 dmg to Coh 2 [18:45:56] Filing with HR Block might be why you're having trouble. My father works for the IRS and HR Block returns are just nightmarish for him because they fuck up a *lot* [18:46:09] Really. [18:46:31] Yeah. They're kinda the McDonalds of accountants [18:46:38] Hah [18:47:05] Why wouldn't Nova want the DC target pushed? I just need it one square away from me to get my mobility back [18:47:12] HR does have a satisfaction garauntee that they'll cover all your fees if they made a mistake. [18:47:21] yeah [18:47:29] I can push it. [18:47:38] There [18:47:42] Still, rather unfair that I was expecting 150 bucks, and now get nothing. [18:48:30] :/ [18:48:32] you can push them so they're still next to me [18:48:41] and not next to Elena [18:48:50] Yon, you ehre? [18:48:53] It's your turn [18:49:18] Oh, sorry. I was boggling at that thing I just linked. :( [18:49:46] Sacred flame, still cohort 2. [18:49:51] 1d20+6 [18:49:51] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 6 +6 = 12 [18:49:55] ffffffff [18:50:03] Dammit, Fuuko. [18:50:10] Are you still under the influence of Magic Weapon? [18:50:25] no [18:51:15] Wow. I like how cheating on a test and going to a movie are the same thing [18:51:29] I provoke two OAs on my way to the Eye [18:51:48] AC 17 [18:52:20] 1d20+8 [18:52:21] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 4 +8 = 12 [18:52:21] 1d20+8 [18:52:22] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 1 +8 = 9 [18:52:26] Miss and a miss [18:52:28] WOOT [18:52:36] thats like 40 spears I just dodged [18:52:37] Dem: What context? [18:52:41] Now to see if I'm really badass [18:52:52] Not so much dodging. [18:52:55] Staggering Smite on Eye [18:53:06] I like their banned music list. They're so specific about everything that's against the rules that technically you can listen to an awful lot of stuff. :V [18:53:10] 1d20+10 [18:53:10] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+10: 11 +10 = 21 [18:53:11] That's like 40 spears that a bunch of addled orcs mostly stabbed into the ground like a bunch of re-res. :| [18:53:14] Hits [18:53:22] :iamafag: [18:53:26] 2d10+5 [18:53:26] Eve_Kasnora rolls 2D10+5: 5 9 +5 = 19 [18:53:31] Charles: In the punishment level at that Christian college [18:53:48] Kills it [18:54:02] 1d20+10 [18:54:02] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 5 +10 = 15 [18:54:08] And it misses you with its death strike [18:54:28] I read that as Lady Death Strike. :( [18:54:35] :D [18:54:37] Emote taking it out. I don't know if you're fighting to KO or kill [18:54:39] it's unconcious [18:54:42] Okay. [18:55:09] Can... Can I have the Eye? [18:55:15] * Plow jokes. [18:55:15] You've already GOT one [18:55:24] No, no, Pae took it. [18:55:31] I push him 2 squares, cause I can [18:55:32] She's been haulin' eye all over the place. [18:55:36] But that'd be funny to wear both eyes. [18:55:42] Technically, Eve took it, then gave it to Paera. [18:55:48] Just became an unholy tinman [18:55:52] No, Eve didn't take it [18:55:55] Or rather, technically, Eve made Peara take it. [18:56:00] * Plow nods. [18:56:09] Pae was all, "Nah...?" [18:56:14] Oh, whoops [18:56:25] cohort 2 is still marked [18:56:54] 1d20 save vs ac penalty [18:56:54] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 9 [18:56:58] damn [18:57:00] Man, it'd be hilarious if the Eye of Vecna were permanently lost to the world because we're derpy enough to just forget where it is [18:57:43] Hahahah [18:57:50] hahahaha [18:58:55] * Paera snickers. [18:59:19] Standing ground, Thunderwave [18:59:25] 2x1d20+7 [18:59:25] What would happen if one, were, to say use Vecna and Gruumsh at the same time? [18:59:25] Eilenia rolls 2x1D20+7: ( 7 +7 = 14 ) ( 12 +7 = 19 ) = 33 [18:59:28] Cause [18:59:32] vs Fort [18:59:34] Second hits [18:59:40] use Gruumsh? [18:59:41] 1d6+5 [18:59:41] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 4 +5 = 9 [18:59:47] Eye of Gruumsh [18:59:52] Is it the same thing? [18:59:54] I'm declining to push [18:59:54] Like, a physical eye? [19:00:00] No, it's a title. [19:00:01] Eue of Gruumsh is an honorific [19:00:06] Basically a gruumshite priest [19:00:07] Like Right Hand of the President of the United States of America [19:00:22] the Eye of Vecna is literally the eye from the mortal body of vecna. [19:00:23] 1d6 [19:00:23] Charles rolls 1D6: 2 [19:00:38] 1d20+8 [19:00:38] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 3 +8 = 11 [19:01:08] 1d6 [19:01:08] Charles rolls 1D6: 5 [19:01:14] 1d20+6 [19:01:14] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 20 +6 = 26 [19:01:15] 1d20+6 [19:01:16] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 10 +6 = 16 [19:01:16] 1d20+6 [19:01:17] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 19 +6 = 25 [19:01:31] 3d8+4 [19:01:31] Charles rolls 3D8+4: 1 1 8 +4 = 14 [19:01:33] yeesh [19:01:43] Oh, wait. Crits are maxed. [19:01:52] 28 damage, Nova. :( [19:02:03] Well, I did ask for it. [19:02:10] That just makes Eve angrier [19:02:40] No, Eve is angriest when people injure those she's protecting. [19:02:41] All this eye stuff is really confusing. [19:02:50] Then it's 4d10+1 time. [19:03:17] Eve is at 6 hp [19:03:38] nooooo [19:04:26] ...Hurrr. [19:04:31] Any more enemies? [19:04:39] I made these guys in the monster builder and realized just now they're supposed to be elites [19:04:56] the throng? [19:05:02] +s [19:05:17] Yeah [19:05:26] The monster builder has no way I can see to make elites/solos [19:05:30] so +2 armor and double hp [19:05:31] yeah [19:05:48] Heal time, neh? [19:06:20] I end up just writing them myself. For some reason the monster builder never displays the finished product for me correctly anyway, so I just use it as a baseline damage/math calculator [19:06:24] Yes please [19:06:28] Healing Infusion: Restorative Formula @ Eve [19:06:29] 1d6 [19:06:29] Plow rolls 1D6: 6 [19:06:34] Surge + 6 [19:06:35] Nice [19:07:06] not bloodied! [19:07:25] oh, and they have +2 to saves, and 1 action point each [19:07:37] Spikewire @ Eve's space [19:07:55] 2x1d20+10 [19:07:55] Plow rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 15 +10 = 25 ) ( 10 +10 = 20 ) = 45 [19:08:00] both vs Fort [19:08:07] 1d10+5 [19:08:07] Plow rolls 1D10+5: 9 +5 = 14 [19:08:10] http://slacktivist.typepad.com/slacktivist/2009/04/one-cheer-for-fred-phelps.html Hahaha, this is brilliant. [19:08:16] Cha? [19:08:21] Miss [19:08:24] Wait [19:08:26] 25 and 20? [19:08:28] First hits [19:08:45] Okay, that's against top down, so I guess Cohort 1 [19:08:48] (Vs. fort, right?) [19:08:51] Yeah [19:09:04] 14 dmg to Cohort 1, and +2 to dmg and atk rolls against him [19:09:14] EOMNT [19:09:16] um [19:09:16] 20 misses their fort? @_@ [19:09:20] I guess I'll use my AP [19:09:31] Now that they're elites. :| [19:09:34] Fiery Infusion @ Eve's square [19:09:40] holy shiat [19:09:41] 2x1d20+10 [19:09:42] Plow rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 4 +10 = 14 ) ( 4 +10 = 14 ) = 28 [19:09:46] Ah, fuck [19:09:50] I doubt 14 beats Ref [19:09:53] Reroll that shit [19:09:57] 2x1d20+10 [19:09:57] Plow rolls 2x1D20+10: ( 13 +10 = 23 ) ( 20 +10 = 30 ) = 53 [19:09:57] That's just silly [19:10:01] Woo [19:10:02] Two hits [19:10:06] one cirt [19:10:08] *crit [19:10:11] So, Cohort 1 takes... [19:10:18] 1d10+5 [19:10:19] Plow rolls 1D10+5: 7 +5 = 12 [19:10:20] All these attacks on my square don't target "creatures" right? >_> [19:10:23] 12 fire damage [19:10:39] All my attacks buff allies and hurt enemies [19:10:41] so no [19:10:42] You got a magic implement? [19:10:47] oh awesome [19:10:50] Aand.. [19:10:57] #2 takes [19:11:31] 1d6 [19:11:32] Plow rolls 1D6: 6 [19:11:33] 21 [19:11:37] Awesome [19:11:43] So total damage is... [19:11:43] Which one is the one we should be focusing on? [19:11:55] 26 to Cohort 1 [19:11:58] 21 to Cohort 2 [19:12:06] cohort 1 [19:12:14] we get bonii vs him [19:12:15] Atk v. Cohort 1 recieve +2 ATK/DMG [19:12:17] aaand [19:12:18] +2 damage and attack [19:12:22] Wow [19:12:30] Eve gets +2 Fire damage whenever she hits with a melee attack [19:12:32] EOMNT [19:12:45] aweome [19:13:02] I could use another heal, Pae Pae [19:13:16] Tao Pae Pae? [19:13:24] Coming up. [19:13:33] (Eve will now refer to Paera in character as Pae Pae. All the time.) [19:13:37] Yet Another Sacred Flame, and healing Eve. [19:13:41] 1d20+6 [19:13:42] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 19 +6 = 25 [19:13:45] ...Hahaha, I'm listening to this game designer talking about how memes evolve in his social group, and there were two memes that referred to things not being good enough: "I cannot masturbate to this, make it again!" and "Is it good enough for our unborn child?" Which eventually melded into stuff like "I can masturbate to it, but is it good enough for our unborn child?" [19:13:46] (Even when sleeping) [19:13:48] Fucking finally [19:13:53] Woot! [19:13:56] hahahaahaha [19:14:04] Okay. So.. [19:14:10] I know Yon, you seem to have the worst die luck out of all of us [19:14:53] 5 temp HP, and surge +1d6 +5 hp healed. [19:15:02] None of them are bloodied yet, right? [19:15:06] Yeah [19:15:26] Oh, right. [19:15:27] Damage [19:15:30] 1d6+6 [19:15:30] Paera rolls 1D6+6: 2 +6 = 8 [19:15:39] With another +2, yeah? [19:15:50] Which one was it on? [19:15:51] 1d6+16 healing [19:15:51] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D6+16: 1 +16 = 17 [19:15:56] :V [19:16:03] Cohort 2 [19:16:28] why? [19:16:42] :psyduck: Yon we had bonuses vs cohort 1 [19:17:10] I think it's better to try to drop one of them before we focus on the other [19:17:12] Oh. :( [19:17:16] But it's closer to being dead! [19:17:31] Oh right [19:19:14] Damn. Eve's down to her last two surges? [19:19:27] Yeah [19:19:35] We got POUNDED on last fight. [19:19:43] Yeah :( [19:19:53] I had to use Lay on Hands too [19:20:05] I spend like 6 surges last fight. [19:20:23] This is why I wanna take one group down, so they can only hit Eve once instead of being able to hit her twice. :( [19:20:26] I'm looking to only spend one surge after this fight, if at all possible. [19:20:40] UBERCHARGED [19:20:52] CHARGE ME DOKTOR [19:21:07] I'm sorry, +4 to hit is too good to pass up [19:21:08] Still your turn, Eve [19:21:16] oh it's my turn? [19:21:17] (actually this is maybe ubercharge + kritzkrieg. :V ) [19:21:18] sorry [19:21:47] dual strike on cohort 1 [19:21:58] 1d20+14 [19:21:58] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+14: 16 +14 = 30 [19:22:02] 1d20+13 [19:22:02] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+13: 1 +13 = 14 [19:22:06] DAMN [19:22:13] I think a good policy is, if nothing's happened for a while check the channel because it might just be your turn. And even if it's not, then you can tell the person whose turn it is to act [19:22:14] One hit [19:22:33] 1d10+5 [19:22:33] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+5: 5 +5 = 10 [19:22:51] (1 enhancement, 2 buff, and 2 fire, right Matt?) [19:22:59] and it's marked [19:23:09] 1d20 save [19:23:10] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 1 [19:23:13] god [19:23:28] Hmm. [19:23:33] Hold on, I just realized that I'm pretty sure that a guy's effects end when he dies [19:23:37] Does this room have any apparent other exits? [19:23:40] So you're no longer debuffed from the AC [19:23:42] I don't think so [19:23:58] If you poison someone, poison isn'tgoing to go away bykilling the guy. It's weird [19:23:58] does it? [19:24:03] If it's save ends, it doesn't [19:24:09] I might be wrong. I might be thinking of a different RPG. [19:24:15] Unless it's a conjuration, which I doubt [19:24:25] Orbmaster's Incendiary Detonation~ [19:24:33] 1d20+7 [19:24:33] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 13 +7 = 20 [19:24:34] 1d20+9 [19:24:34] I think it was just a thing so that effects that don't end don't go on forever [19:24:35] Eilenia rolls 1D20+9: 16 +9 = 25 [19:24:41] vs Reflex [19:24:45] Two hits [19:24:57] 1d6+5 [19:24:58] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 4 +5 = 9 [19:25:01] 9 and 11 damage. [19:25:04] And Prone [19:25:55] 1d6 [19:25:56] Charles rolls 1D6: 5 [19:25:56] 1d6 [19:25:56] Charles rolls 1D6: 2 [19:26:01] 1d20+6 [19:26:01] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 1 +6 = 7 [19:26:11] 1d20+9 [19:26:11] Charles rolls 1D20+9: 17 +9 = 26 [19:26:20] 2d8+4 [19:26:20] Charles rolls 2D8+4: 8 6 +4 = 18 [19:26:27] They take 2 damage for starting their turn there [19:27:27] fuck they're not bloodied yet? [19:28:05] We need Xan. :( [19:28:12] 18 damage on me then [19:28:55] Man, we really need to scavenge some plate to cover Eve's poor sides. ._. [19:28:57] These orcs is jerks! [19:29:03] I'm gonna need as many temp HP as possible @_@ [19:29:20] Do you want a regular heal, or a temp HP boost? [19:29:23] Don't heal me yet [19:29:25] I just figure that describing glancing blows is better than being all "The orc chops your head off for 10 damage" [19:29:26] Kayz. [19:29:29] Temp for now [19:29:34] hahah [19:29:50] Cha: These orcs are definately trying to kill me, yes? [19:30:01] I got that impression after being speared to 6 hp [19:30:10] Yeah [19:30:15] Oh, I'd still make you spend a surge. [19:30:18] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:30:26] I dunno, the orc chops your head off for 10 damage is very WoW (or, at least, pre expansion WoW.) :V [19:30:26] what? [19:30:28] I like the D&D podcast where they were describing a 1d6 spear hit as the spear plunging through the chest. [19:30:29] Everyone can spend a surge if they want... 4 temp hp. ._. [19:30:35] You've made no effort to communicate with them, and you're helping the kobolds who were trying to kill them so there you go. :| [19:30:44] ehn [19:30:46] I've got two potions. [19:30:55] Yeah, I don't think its worth it [19:31:06] Cha: I did knock out their leader rather than kill though. [19:31:11] Thundering armor @ Eve [19:31:19] Targetting Cohort 1 [19:31:25] 1d20+8 [19:31:25] Plow rolls 1D20+8: 3 +8 = 11 [19:31:27] Bah [19:31:33] +1 Ac to Eve, and end. [19:31:37] do I still get the bonus to ac? [19:31:39] okay cool [19:31:42] Yeah, but I figure that trying to capture leaders and killing foot soldiers is the kind of thing that's sort of expected in military conflict [19:31:52] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:32:06] Yeah, mostly because leaders can beransomed back [19:32:15] (I will never forget my sword that had a chance to deliver a fatal blow...which did about 500 damage. Against targets with thousands. :V ) [19:32:20] So "They spared our leader as they set us on fire!" isn't a great way to set the tone for non-lethality. :V [19:32:22] Well for the record, Eve wasn't aiming to kill until she got healed up from 6 [19:32:22] Hahaha [19:32:26] hahaha [19:32:32] hahaha [19:32:53] Yon: I really like how Dark Elven Witches in WAR get a power called 'Dismember', which severs an opponent's limb. For six seconds [19:32:58] PaePae's turn? [19:33:06] Hahahahahahahaha [19:33:08] hahahahahaha [19:33:15] Target dies (save ends) [19:33:27] Hahahahah [19:33:39] So, just to make sure. [19:33:46] You just want temp HP? [19:34:10] yeah [19:34:10] I mean, the term 'fatal blow' can be a little ambiguous. Like, maybe it's just an attack that has something to do with fate! [19:34:15] Dismember is totally clear [19:34:28] You sever a guy's arm for six seconds, at which point it stops being severed [19:34:38] Actually, I just realized, the attack is *actually called* Sever Limb [19:34:56] I love that Witchalock powers. Target dies until the end of your next turn. [19:35:02] Then it no longer dies? @_@ [19:35:06] Target is put on the bit [19:35:12] heheh [19:35:15] Level 21: The target apologizes without understanding why [19:35:27] Okay. Sacred flame, and harmony of erathis. [19:35:32] heheh [19:35:33] 1d20+6 [19:35:33] Paera rolls 1D20+6: 5 +6 = 11 [19:35:36] fffffffffff [19:35:38] God dammit 4chan. http://zip.4chan.org/tg/src/1241057704610.png [19:35:48] no temp hp? :( [19:35:56] Nope. But Eve at least gets +2 to her next attack roll. [19:36:07] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:36:12] Just the next one? [19:36:39] I wonder.... [19:36:48] It just says your first attack roll [19:36:53] Dem, would Elena go into melee if Eve asked her to? >_>; [19:37:16] She has a longsword. [19:37:29] And she recently lowered her wisdom. : [19:37:31] :V [19:37:33] Not yet. [19:37:37] Aah [19:37:39] Okay [19:37:43] While I could, I'm not sure why I'd need to be there [19:38:00] I delay until after Eilenia's turn, taking a free action to ask for her to flank them [19:38:03] Hahaha, the Painkiller thread was renamed to Painkiller: Battle out of Blowjob Deli [19:38:18] I need flanking :/ [19:38:25] Shout it out right now [19:38:26] hahaha [19:38:38] I'll provide the flanking and use close blasts to prevent OAs [19:39:09] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [19:39:13] Okay, delayed [19:40:15] Drawing longsword, moving up, thunderwaving them with the orb [19:40:17] god damn. Are they really not bloodied yet? [19:40:22] 2x1d20+7 [19:40:23] Eilenia rolls 2x1D20+7: ( 13 +7 = 20 ) ( 9 +7 = 16 ) = 36 [19:40:26] 1d6+5 [19:40:27] Eilenia rolls 1D6+5: 2 +5 = 7 [19:40:27] vs Fort [19:40:31] Nearly there. [19:41:00] is that with your +2 for flanking, Dem? [19:41:20] I can't flank with close blasts. [19:41:27] Flanking's only melee, I think [19:41:59] pretty sure your position, and weather you threaten squares or not, determines whether you have Combat Advantage or not. [19:42:15] Drawing your longsword means you threaten adjacent squares, so you're flanking. [19:42:30] So I was wrong to not let someone use magic missile in melee as flanking? [19:42:45] Did they have a melee weapon out? [19:42:54] No. [19:43:03] Magic missile is also specifically a ranged basic attack [19:43:04] Then no, they didn't threaten squares [19:43:11] And you can only do melee basic attacks for OAs [19:43:15] and yeah, ranged attacks would provoke OAs [19:43:27] from adjacent enemies [19:43:28] It would provoke an OA, but would they be granted CA? [19:43:36] no [19:43:47] because you can't threaten squares with ranged attacks. [19:44:07] You can't threaten squares with any attack, really, you must be wielding a melee weapon with which you are proficient to threaten squares. [19:44:07] Flames die out [19:44:15] Unless you have a specific ability that lets you do so. [19:44:18] A wizard with an orb does not threaten any squares. [19:44:29] IIRC, rangers have a stance that gives them threat in a certain range with a bow [19:44:34] Yeah [19:44:53] A wizard with an orb and a longsword threatens squares because of his longsword. [19:45:04] So he has combat advantage [19:45:26] Are you going to take your turn, Nova? [19:45:32] If you then attack with magic missile targetting an enemy adjacent to- oh [19:45:36] yes [19:45:46] Holy Strike on cohort 2 [19:46:08] 1d20+14 [19:46:08] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+14: 17 +14 = 31 [19:46:17] Hits. [19:46:20] 1d10+7 [19:46:20] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+7: 6 +7 = 13 [19:46:25] radiant [19:46:46] Bloodied [19:47:01] 1d6 [19:47:01] Charles rolls 1D6: 5 [19:47:06] 1d20+6 [19:47:06] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 10 +6 = 16 [19:47:06] 1d20+6 [19:47:06] Charles rolls 1D20+6: 14 +6 = 20 [19:47:35] Lucky, Dem. You barely avoided 3d8 damage [19:47:39] 3d8+4 [19:47:39] Charles rolls 3D8+4: 8 2 3 +4 = 17 [19:47:43] Geez. [19:47:44] 1d20+8 [19:47:44] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 15 +8 = 23 [19:47:45] 1d10 [19:47:45] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10: 6 [19:47:49] 1d20 [19:47:49] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 2 [19:47:49] Elena couldn't stand that many hits [19:47:54] FUCKING SHIT [19:47:57] 2d8+4 [19:47:57] Charles rolls 2D8+4: 7 2 +4 = 13 [19:48:19] ROLL A SAVE DAMN YOU [19:48:26] That's 30 damage on Eve from the cohorts. :/ [19:48:26] * Eve_Kasnora shakes Fuuko [19:48:32] dying [19:48:49] Can we stabilize with heals? [19:48:57] (is that still a thing in 4e?) [19:48:59] We can. [19:49:04] Check the skills chapter [19:49:14] 16 misses! [19:49:19] Letting someone spend a surge brings them up, yeah. And heal checks can help stabilize (Which is kind of a thing) [19:49:23] My AC is 17 right now because of Thundering Armor [19:49:41] The 16 was against Eilenia [19:49:51] You got hit by the 20 and the 23 [19:49:58] They get more than 1 attack each, gotcha [19:50:09] They get a rechargable close burst, yeah [19:50:38] oh, also, cohort 1 was no longer marked [19:50:52] fighter marks expire at the end of my next turn [19:53:01] Plow plow plow [19:53:38] You're up, Matt [19:53:40] Brutes are nasty without strikers. :/ [19:53:57] I doubt they're brutes with a Fort that high [19:54:14] they just have a lot of hp cause they're elites [19:56:05] nnghh [19:56:12] Oh! [19:56:13] My bad [19:56:15] Sorry, gyus [19:56:40] Do your town now, too, Paera, just to speed this up [19:56:42] Can I use my healing infusion to stabilize Eve, or do we need to skill check first? [19:56:50] Any healing brings her back up [19:56:54] K. [19:57:01] In that case, Restorative Formula @ Eve [19:57:02] 1d6 [19:57:02] Plow rolls 1D6: 5 [19:57:06] Surge + 5 [19:57:11] In fact, it brings her up from 0, not from whatever her current negative is [19:57:31] Thundering Armor @ Eve, targetting Cohort 2 [19:57:46] Oh wait [19:57:49] That's dumb [19:57:58] Why is it dumb? [19:58:09] Because I could be healing her right now, with my daily [19:58:13] ... man, if our damage were all concentrated on one guy, they'd be dead rightnow. :( [19:58:16] aah [19:58:23] Lifetap @ Cohort 2 [19:58:26] 1d20+6 [19:58:26] Plow rolls 1D20+6: 19 +6 = 25 [19:58:29] A lot of that damage was from AoEs [19:58:30] Hits [19:58:30] vs Ref [19:58:32] True [19:58:48] 2d10+4 [19:58:48] Plow rolls 2D10+4: 8 2 +4 = 14 [19:58:51] Okay, I'm gonna use my second healing word, and sacred flame. [19:58:52] 14 dmg to Cohort 2 [19:59:04] and 10 hp to Eve [19:59:07] I'm at... 16 hp then [19:59:20] 10 hp? [19:59:45] Wait, does Eve even have a surge for me to use healing word with? [19:59:53] 2 surges left [20:00:28] 1d20+7 [20:00:29] Paera rolls 1D20+7: 10 +7 = 17 [20:00:32] After paera, she'll be out of surges. Completely. All we could do with her then is use a heal check to stabalize her if she's dying [20:01:02] I still have my dwarven armor [20:01:23] I thougth that used a surge [20:01:26] So I'm at 10 hp? [20:01:33] no, it heals as if I had [20:01:36] aaaah [20:01:37] Awesome [20:01:43] yeah [20:01:46] Is that a hit? [20:02:03] Yeah [20:02:07] How much healing did I actuall recieve? just 10? [20:02:08] 1d6+6 [20:02:08] Paera rolls 1D6+6: 3 +6 = 9 [20:02:25] And another 1d6+surge+5 for Eve, and 5 temp hp. [20:02:52] 1d6+21 [20:02:52] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D6+21: 1 +21 = 22 [20:02:53] How does Eve heal 10 HP again? [20:03:06] Lifetap? [20:03:09] From LT [20:03:09] aah [20:03:11] derp [20:03:15] I'm confused if that spent a surge or not? [20:03:15] But it's not a surge [20:03:38] What else is Paera doing? [20:03:50] Oh,wait. SacredFlame [20:03:54] And did you also infuse me? [20:03:54] Oh! [20:03:54] Yes! [20:03:54] So actually, Surge + 5 + 10 [20:03:54] okay so 16+10+22 [20:03:54] You took down cohort 2, Yon [20:04:01] :O [20:04:01] 48 hp [20:04:06] I'm at max :D [20:04:11] +5 Temp! [20:04:19] (my max is 44) [20:04:21] Any wasted healing? [20:04:27] 4 points [20:04:33] That's acceptable [20:04:48] yeah [20:05:33] I go after Elena now [20:06:03] Okay, laying down a Hypnotic Pattern [20:07:16] the hell?@_@ [20:07:39] What? [20:07:48] Aah, yeah [20:08:16] it pulls them toward the forge? [20:08:17] When the enemy starts their turn, they take an attack from me [20:08:52] getting up aaaand... [20:08:56] why not funneling strike [20:09:00] 1d20+10 [20:09:00] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+10: 13 +10 = 23 [20:09:20] 1d10+5 [20:09:20] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D10+5: 1 +5 = 6 [20:09:29] slide one square toward the forge [20:10:09] 1d20+7 [20:10:09] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 16 +7 = 23 [20:10:10] vs Will [20:10:15] Hits [20:10:36] They're pulled 3 towards the pattern and Slowed until end of my next turn [20:10:45] They can move into the pattern's square [20:12:03] 2d12 [20:12:03] Charles rolls 2D12: 10 7 = 17 [20:12:10] haha, awesome [20:12:55] oh yeah [20:12:57] 1d20 [20:12:57] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 8 [20:13:05] still penalized! [20:13:31] I'll see about transfering that next time I hit [20:13:42] don't [20:13:49] ? [20:13:49] we'll need all the help we can get in the next fight [20:13:52] true [20:14:12] Guy's next fight you're gonna have to take some damage for me [20:14:24] * Eilenia nods. [20:14:26] I can heal someone with my daily [20:15:06] Plow is probably the toughest of us [20:15:16] Also, Dem, that was an amazing use of power and terrain [20:15:25] I'll do what I can. [20:16:08] Umm [20:16:16] At this point all I have are at-wills [20:16:22] not right now [20:16:24] next fight [20:16:29] No, no [20:16:34] I'm just trying to figure out what to do now. [20:16:48] Magic Weapon @ Cohort [20:16:51] 1d20+11 [20:16:51] Plow rolls 1D20+11: 4 +11 = 15 [20:16:54] Bah [20:16:56] End turn. [20:16:57] moving next to anyone first? [20:17:02] I was next to you [20:17:06] Or, moved next to you [20:17:07] oh [20:17:09] but no dice. ._. [20:17:10] :D [20:17:17] only on a hit? [20:17:20] Reroll that, I want this fight over. :| [20:18:13] Ohgb [20:18:15] 1d20+11 [20:18:16] Plow rolls 1D20+11: 11 +11 = 22 [20:18:22] 1d10+5 [20:18:23] Plow rolls 1D10+5: 6 +5 = 11 [20:18:25] 11 dmg to coho [20:18:30] +1 atk/dmg to Eve [20:19:01] That's nice, since it won't be a totally wasted sentiment, either. [20:19:18] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [20:19:39] Hahaha [20:20:11] "Glad you weren't dead. But I guess I should a known." [beat] *TWANG* [20:20:20] I love Plow [20:20:42] Yet more sacred flame. [20:20:50] 1d20+7 [20:20:50] Paera rolls 1D20+7: 20 +7 = 27 [20:20:53] Well, I thought it was a good chance to show Eve that Plow does still care that they're in a party together [20:20:55] :toot: [20:20:58] And it mi- :PO [20:21:04] Even if he is a curmudgeon. ._. [20:21:10] Yaay [20:21:17] 1d8+12 [20:21:17] Paera rolls 1D8+12: 8 +12 = 20 [20:21:34] d8 from your holy symbol on a crit? nice [20:21:41] Man, Paera gets more damn kills [20:21:43] Yep. [20:21:51] Paera fried them all! [20:22:03] I think if we kept a running tally she'd probably be at least 35% of the group's deaths [20:22:08] Apparently seeing Eve nearly killed got her Gar going. [20:22:13] So she's sort of like Aurora. [20:22:18] (We are totally doing it after this) [20:22:19] She sucks until she does the final blows [20:22:26] Doing what? [20:22:35] Sex. [20:22:48] You lost me. [20:23:15] Derp, hit enter to early. [20:23:26] Paera got all Gar and started frying orcs to crisps after Eve was stabbed into negatives. She obviously cares for her. [20:23:34] Haushit! [20:23:38] Right, I got that part, but what's sex? [20:23:38] Cha, in Yakuza 2 [20:23:44] Yeah? [20:23:45] I just knocked this guy on the ground and grabbed a bike [20:24:02] Sex is when two attractive women get naked and make each other feel good. [20:24:02] Kazuma proceeds to slam the bike into the guy's chest, then jump onto him, breaking the bike across his body [20:24:15] Oh man, however this ends it'll- Man Nova stop being fuckin' creepy [20:24:22] Now isn't the time for that, Rin [20:24:33] I'm trying to enjoy a story about brutalizing a guy with a bicycle and you have to ruin a beautiful thing [20:24:34] Charles: No ._. [20:25:03] Man, Yakuza 2 has some seriously awesome finishing moves [20:25:21] Yeah, I've apparently only done like 15% of the possible finishes, also. o_o [20:25:45] (Totally doing it) [20:25:46] That was a lot funnier when I read it assuming that Kazuma was trying to steal the guy's bike but then just busted it using it as a weapon cause he doesn't give a fuck. [20:25:56] Hahaha [20:26:21] Whose turn is it? [20:26:38] combat over [20:26:43] Nobody, you killed the last enemy [20:26:45] Paera killed the last of them [20:26:48] :O [20:26:51] Yah, time for sweet l00tz. [20:26:57] I seriously loved when you slammed the guy into the same convenience store window. *Twice*. [20:27:03] Or, you know, roleplay. [20:27:07] Yeah, oh man [20:27:08] Oh! [20:27:20] I actually slammed a guy into a store front again this past battle [20:27:30] and instead of the face smoosh thing, it was a full body plant against the window [20:27:39] They showed it from the inside briefly, and it looked really goofy [20:27:46] Hahaha [20:28:40] Scott Pilgrim is a pretty good manga [20:29:47] I'm not checking if I have enough rope. :| [20:30:19] Everyone gets back one healing surge [20:30:34] Now I'm imagining Elena only having a couple feet of rope that she keeps trying to wrap around the orc and wondering why it's not working. [20:30:40] Hahaha [20:31:19] If you have an adventure kit, you have enough, don't worry. =) [20:31:31] Oh, cool [20:31:38] WOOT [20:31:42] I max out [20:32:02] shut up [20:32:07] gimme your surges [20:32:16] * Plow has all his surges. ._. [20:32:19] I'd share if I could [20:32:19] * Eve_Kasnora sucks the surges out of Elena. [20:32:24] @_@ [20:32:45] YOU'RE NEXT! [20:32:53] * Eve_Kasnora feeeeeds [20:32:58] http://oihayaku.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/shokotan.jpg [20:33:48] Does anyone have unused heals/ [20:33:53] Hahahha, the cat looks TERRIFIED. [20:33:57] Well, unused encounter heals [20:34:15] This one looks more terrified. http://gadgets.boingboing.net/gimages/shokotan.jpg [20:35:14] Is the plan to go on to the next battle tonight? [20:35:22] Nah [20:35:25] Ah, kay. [20:36:23] Alright, so what do we do for the next fight? Load up Eve with an absurd number of temp HP at every opportunity? [20:37:17] Do we get a short rest/ [20:37:19] *? [20:37:29] I'd like to [20:37:42] Yeah [20:38:48] Does anyone have unused heals from that last encounter? [20:39:36] I have personal heals [20:40:19] I have my dwarven armor, a daily that lets someone else heal, and a surge that I can share with Lay on Hands. [20:40:28] * Eilenia nods [20:40:42] I'll go ahead and spend my surge to take me to 30 / 32 [20:40:55] Provided you guys aren't running, you could conceivably take a short rest on the move, I think [20:40:57] Unless someone has an unused power that could potentially max it [20:41:40] A short rest is only five minutes, isn't it? [20:41:44] Yeah. [20:41:57] <_< [20:42:02] We can rest for 5, don't spend your surge, then have Paera Healing Word you, and then rest for another 5 [20:42:12] No time! [20:42:16] @_@ [20:42:17] But but [20:42:18] we're conversing [20:42:20] NO TIME [20:42:23] 5 minutes have- [20:42:25] kay. [20:42:27] ._. [20:45:55] How long has the shortage been going on? [20:46:54] well that might be unfair... Odal's Fen was completely sealed off right? [20:47:05] Would they have even known if there was still trade outside? [20:47:14] Nope [20:47:24] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [20:49:15] hahhahhah http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pensacola_Christian_College [20:49:30] Written permission of the dean’s office must be procured for all off-campus meetings between members of the opposite sex. In addition, all mixed-gender meetings (on and off-campus), must have a PCC chaperone present.[8] Most stairwells and elevators on campus are segregated by gender. In the absence of being able to have physical contact, a fad has developed among dating students on campus where couples stare deeply into each other’s eyes. This practice by students is variously called "eye kissing", or "optical intercourse" and is jokingly called "making eye babies." [20:49:33] * Plow wants a chance to interrogate, too. ._. [20:49:41] eyes. This practice by students is variously called "eye kissing", or "optical intercourse" and is jokingly called "making eye babies." [20:49:46] This activity however is discouraged by the administration. [20:49:53] Astral Voice [20:49:54] Hahahahahaha [20:50:10] 1d20+11 diplomacy [20:50:10] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+11: 16 +11 = 27 [20:50:50] Was Nerath always Orcish? <_< [20:50:59] Nope [20:51:16] Used to be a human empire. Founded by half-elves, but culturally and ethnically human in the main [20:51:17] Oh yeah. Nova, Friday, Left 4 Dead will be free. [20:51:21] You wanna join? :3 [20:51:37] (Eventually the rulers became human just by sheer virtue of intermarriage with the human nobility) [20:51:45] Heehee [20:51:47] Matt, we know Plow's nerathi, right? [20:51:56] You guys don't, I don't think. [20:52:03] Oh :/ [20:52:16] I'm pretty sure I only mentioned the reason for his name, IC. [20:52:41] Oh! [20:52:42] Wait! [20:53:01] There was that moment during the first of these battles against the Orc, when he shouted real mad that "I _am_ Nerathi!" [20:53:05] Oh, man. Dawn of War 2 soundtrack is available for free. [20:53:11] And the song titles are great [20:53:22] “There Is Only War“, “They Come In Waves And We Push Them Back” and - “Show Me What Passes For Music Among Your Misbegotten Kind“. [20:53:22] So, yes, I guess you could have established that he is from Nerath. [20:53:30] Well, not really [20:53:35] Eve was shouting that too [20:53:38] Oh! [20:53:39] True [20:53:48] Do we know how old Plow is? [20:53:55] Cause then 2 + 2 = Nerath [20:54:08] Well, he said he was trapped for around a century [20:54:18] Alright, then that's a reasonable assumption. [20:54:45] 1d20+1 intelligence check! [20:54:45] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+1: 15 +1 = 16 [20:54:53] yeah sure she made the logic jump [21:03:09] ...hahahah [21:03:09] Dr. Arbitrary posted: [21:03:09] I did vampire Larp for a while with a friend. [21:03:09] The first game we had, a guy had an epileptic seizure. I'd never seen one before and neither had my friend, somehow we avoided saying anything stupid because both of us thought he was a REALLY REALLY good actor until an ambulance showed up. [21:03:09] A few months later it was LARP night and I suggested we watch movies instead. I had a ton of fun that night. [21:03:09] Vampire LARP: a situation in which you cannot distinguish an epileptic seizure from "roleplaying." [21:03:21] hahahahhaah [21:03:37] Hahahahaha [21:03:42] hahahaahahaha [21:04:33] http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/full/~3/xXoN1HVLgkA/star-trek-d+a+c-preview-boldly-going-where-other s-have-been-before [21:09:54] Argh [21:09:59] *loose confederacy of [21:10:43] 1d20+1 history [21:10:43] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+1: 16 +1 = 17 [21:11:16] http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/full/~3/xXoN1HVLgkA/star-trek-d+a+c-preview-boldly-going-where-other s-have-been-before [21:11:18] Is that low enough to say "I've never heard that claim." [21:11:24] :P [21:11:25] http://feeds.gawker.com/~r/kotaku/full/~3/V4DD3KW99u4/dead-rising-2-7000-zombies-and-plenty-of-chainsa ws [21:12:22] Yeah, I think that's low enough to not know the exact origins of the old Imperial family. :V [21:16:05] heh [21:16:24] http://www.gamesetwatch.com/2009/04/brilliant_persona_fanart.php [21:16:25] Did the Nerath have slaves? [21:16:49] I'm hoping no. [21:17:22] Risen Nerath won't. :colbert: [21:17:34] I sort of figure that slavery is a thing for Evil Races, since D&D is more romantic than say, Exalted [21:17:50] I guess, but things seem pretty morally ambiguous right now [21:18:01] and there's a sort of historical precendent for historical high races to have employed slaves [21:18:08] whether they were war prisoners, or appropriated persons [21:18:16] They probably did at the beginning, just because the world was getting itself out of a really shitty time period. I kind of figure that as time passed and ritual knowledge was rediscovered, slavery fell out of favor [21:18:30] So would Plow be from a period when there was slaves? [21:18:33] Just because everything that could be done by slaves could be done better by free people or by sustained magical effort [21:18:36] And would Orcs have been among those slaves? [21:18:46] Probably not, unless he was trapped for a *relaly* long time [21:18:49] Kay. [21:20:40] Is this when he goes "THE EYE!" then explodes? D: [21:21:49] Heh [21:22:03] Eve was almost like "W-what? An orc that doesn't want to fight?" [21:22:17] And then she was like "Oh right, cause he'd get his ass kicked." [21:22:22] If Koros shows up again, maybe Eve's Nerath will be a half-orcish empire. :| [21:22:27] hahahaha [21:22:37] >:( [21:22:44] Well, I figure that an orc even acknowleding that fighting is bad because they might lose is a bizarre thing. [21:22:53] yeah [21:23:10] All the political dealings will pretty much involve which race can breed the other out of Eve's bloodline [21:23:20] hah [21:23:26] Orcs are probably all about "Hell yeah! Let's fight!" no matter how bad the odds are, so an orc going "I really don't want to fight someone who kicked the shit out of me" is probably pretty :psyduck: [21:23:45] Eve is going to sire a nation of gender-changing half-tieflings. [21:23:52] Half-orcs stick around, man. They're like cockroaches. Once they get into your family tree, you can't drive them out. :| [21:24:03] Right, PaePae? *wiggles eyebrows* [21:24:20] I'm pretty sure you can't change gender in 4e. [21:24:36] Eve will find a way. [21:24:42] And then Plow crushes the Orc's throat. @_@ [21:24:44] Stop being creepy, Nova. :( [21:24:48] * Eve_Kasnora eyes Paera. [21:25:10] * Plow yawns. [21:25:35] * Eilenia de-eyes Eve. D: [21:26:39] _ [21:29:30] Heh [21:29:32] Man, I think Koros might actually be our first recurring NPC, provided he wasn't totally obnoxious during that length of exposition. :| [21:29:58] He reminds me of [21:29:59] uh [21:30:04] Icewind Dale Kobold. [21:30:52] I thought the kobold was going to be like "Man, I'm so glad we both survived so that we can talk. Alright, so... just walk with me a little... no on my left side... right... there, thanks. Okay, so you know how you kept saying Bahamaut this and Bahamut that? Well, yeah, turns out, we hate that prick." *pulls trapdoor lever* [21:31:07] hahaha [21:31:26] Hahaha [21:31:53] Hahahahah [21:31:59] I figure that among kobolds who don't prey on the weak to survive, that bahamut actually has a fair amount of cultural appeal, past being vaguely draconic [21:32:21] I mean, he's all about protecting the weak, and if you, categorically, *are* the weak, then that's a really heartening message. [21:32:36] hahaha [21:32:39] true [21:32:57] I like that. [21:33:06] Makes kobolds all... moe? [21:33:26] * Eve_Kasnora scrubs brain with brillo. [21:33:28] Fucking dammit, Nova, did you HAVE to go there? :gonk: [21:33:49] NO I DIDN'T AND I'M SORRY [21:33:56] hahahaha [21:33:58] *scrub scrub scrub* [21:33:59] http://lemurkat.xi.co.nz/atc/bibliofile-snicksnack.jpg [21:34:06] http://bulk.destructoid.com/ul/130194-review-super-robot-taisen-og-saga-endless-frontier-boobs-/size-6 20x.jpg [21:34:20] http://www.destructoid.com/review-super-robot-taisen-og-saga-endless-frontier-boobs--130194.phtml [21:34:46] Unless Matt wants to pose leaving the room, I'm gonna call it here [21:35:14] Dun. [21:35:23] http://kotaku.com/5232765/dead-rising-2-handyman-cameraman [21:35:35] Plow will not kill prisoners of war >:( [21:35:46] Ohnoes, real Plow would never do that. [21:35:52] He's not angry at the orc. [21:35:56] He's not really angry ever. [21:35:57] Are you fake Plow? [21:36:01] What about evil Plow? [21:36:05] I'm Definitely Evil. [21:36:29] ..... [21:36:51] Where's my righteous weapon? [21:36:52] http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3173972 [21:37:34] Critical: +2d6 damage [21:37:35] Property: On a critical hit you deal +2d8 damage against evil creatures. [21:37:35] Power (Daily): Free Action. Use this power when you hit with the weapon. The target is dazed until the end of your next turn. If the target is evil or chaotic evil, the target is instead dazed (save ends). [21:37:38] Post exp? [21:37:51] So we got 700 gp [21:37:52] http://kotaku.com/5230881/when-game-pirates-should-become-game-designers hahahahahahah [21:38:08] Are we pooling that or splitting it? Or wil it not matter once we reset gear? [21:38:36] Given how some people already have gear better than they might get if they reset it, I think I'm gonna offer a choice [21:38:40] I think we should pool it, but we REALLY need to get this together. The party log hasn't been updated in a while [21:38:47] Like, wether they want to to keep what they have or just call a mulligan [21:38:57] mulligan [21:39:01] I read that as minigun. :/ [21:39:07] minigun too. [21:39:18] Also, I don't think meaningful gold has even been spent, so after this adventure we can total up the levels 1-5 gold and make that the current pool [21:39:32] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [21:39:47] I know I spent 25 gold to transfer dwarven armor onto my scale coat [21:39:59] And I figure the 'keep it/mulligan' thing can be a person by person decision [21:40:18] Since I mostly want to just catch up people who're behind and not force people who like their gear to lose it [21:40:49] Also, will the pool be replacing our individual gp from starting at a higher level? (gp equal to a level 4 item) [21:41:15] If so, I'm going to have to purchase the Dwarven Armor back from the pool's gp [21:41:28] Cause it's too low a level to get automatically, and I wanna keep it [21:42:11] I think so. Getting free gold is a little weird as a side-effect of catching up on equipment [21:42:19] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [21:42:45] I'm gonna keep MUCH better logs in the next 'season' [21:42:49] So just as a heads up, the pool will be 520 gp less [21:43:02] Because this would be entirely solvable if I had kept track of who got what at what level [21:43:23] Why don't we just make the pool Level 4 item x 6? [21:43:27] If we all want a pool. [21:43:33] * Eilenia nods [21:43:41] Hmm. Let me check how that'd line up. [21:43:58] I like how it's Tarazan. And how the T looks more like a 7. [21:44:01] http://playthisthing.com/apocalypse-girl [21:44:03] Yeah [21:44:27] Also... I think Eve is really being an amazing defender lately @_@ [21:44:38] Yeah. Hybridizing really helped me [21:44:41] Yeah [21:44:45] She's taking a BEATING, though [21:44:59] Kind of her job, though [21:45:01] Note that she's been getting hit a lot beause of a particular ability she'd kept getting hit with and failing to save against [21:45:05] Yeah [21:45:10] Yeah. [21:45:23] I might have to take some healing surge feats [21:45:26] Like Durable [21:45:28] How much of a penatly was that? [21:45:30] Though you've also been fighting a lot of brutes recently, too, and guys with generally brute-ish qualities [21:45:34] Yeah [21:45:40] Hitting hard and neverdropping [21:45:43] -4 [21:45:46] And without our Striker. :/ [21:46:00] I went from AC 20, which truth be told isn't that great for a 4th level defender, to ac 16 [21:46:03] I kept the cohorts' to-hit low because I figured it'd be a cool synergy with the eye's -4 AC power [21:46:10] heh [21:46:14] But I didn't expect it to last for the *entire fight* [21:46:22] I never thought I'd feel hurt this bad from the loss of a Striker [21:46:23] yeah, seriously @_@ [21:46:36] By 'bruteish qualities' I really meant 'they can't hit the broad side of a motherfucker' [21:46:42] haha [21:46:57] Also, being critted never helps :T [21:47:05] Where is the article on hybridizing? [21:47:10] Maybe it's just me, but in my experience it's pretty rare that brutes are good for anything other than taking up space and making fights last longer [21:47:12] April's Dragon [21:47:14] lemme link [21:47:30] I've noticed they tend to rip people up if they hit. [21:47:38] Brutes are what strikers are really necessary for. [21:47:46] Yeah, but that's a big if. [21:48:04] Yeah, but it does happen. The green drakes were really nasty in Kobold Hall [21:48:30] Like, the cohort's big attack was only +6 to hit, since I put them up like brutes and they couldn't even hit Eilenia. :| [21:48:42] http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=dnd/drfe/20090406 Player's Handbook 1 classes, plus Swordmage, only [21:48:46] Awesome, thanks [21:48:51] Did you guys enjoy yourselves? I liked the roleplaying at the end, though I kinda felt the fight dragged a little until Dem pulled the guys onto the forge [21:48:55] http://forums.tigsource.com/index.php?topic=4964.0 I love this [21:49:15] I enjoyed it. I wanted to do that earlier, to be honest, but there were thingskeeping me from doing so [21:49:15] I had lots of fun. [21:49:32] I was complaining about the enemeis not being bloodied because I was scared of being killed, not bored [21:49:56] Elena's not big on lethal damage, and I wanted to catch more than one enemy in there [21:49:57] Oh, also, everyne [21:50:00] Milestone! [21:50:04] We get 1 AP [21:50:05] oh yeah [21:50:09] And a magic item daily [21:50:10] Cept me ._. [21:50:20] Technically you were there last fight [21:50:23] Hm. It looks like if you pooled your gold for 'starting' at 5, you'd actually get almost exactly as much as you wound from getting there for-real [21:50:24] We had to stop in the middle [21:50:34] You were there for the start of it, remember? [21:50:36] Ohz [21:50:38] That's right [21:51:04] Cha: Wow, really? I honestly didn't think the system math would be that good. [21:51:24] Huh. Cool. [21:51:40] 4,795 for the total cash treasure through level 4, and then 5,000 total for five people 'starting' at level 5 [21:51:52] This might just be a happy coincidence. [21:52:09] Let me run the numbers for a few more levels, because if the graphs stay close this is an interesting discovery [21:52:18] Yeah [21:52:27] I did notice they were trying to keep things more organized this time around [21:53:30] For level 6, the totals are 6,795 and 8,000. [21:53:35] Yeah, no more random "here's your 10,000 copper!" "You mean, 100 gp? Thanks." [21:53:40] Ah [21:53:42] hhahaha [21:54:33] For level 4, the totals are 3115 and 4200 [21:54:36] I couldn't beleive that there was actually a rule for generating *non-rounded* piles of coins. [21:54:40] Yeah, it was a fun session. Also Nova stop being creepy. [21:55:04] Let me kick it up to... level 25. So far, it's always within almost a thousand [21:55:11] We are going to have hot lesbian sex involving PaePae's horns and tail. [21:55:26] I think they might be seriously upset. [21:55:32] You're why we can't play D&D with girls, Nova. :( [21:55:49] They're just homophobes. :colbert: [21:56:03] http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/354398/animal-dog-nu_tarou-shiba_inu-translated [21:56:52] Does anyone else have a decent Diplomacy? [21:56:55] http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3237/3095146771_5c9de0cc84_b.jpg aww [21:57:02] We have designated being creepy people in this channel and if you keep being creepy their union will get on our ass. :( [21:57:04] Mine suffered when I no longer had to focus on Charisma [21:57:04] Elena probably does [21:57:15] * Paera is now known as Yon [21:57:17] Haha [21:57:18] Oh. Nope. Mine blows. [21:57:19] * Eve_Kasnora is now known as NovaSeaker [21:57:21] * ChanServ sets mode: +o NovaSeaker [21:57:31] * Eilenia is now known as Demota [21:57:38] * Plow is now known as MattyQ [21:57:44] I probably shouldn't have blown my Astral Voice on just an Eye, but we needed more information. [21:58:05] Anyone think they have a chance at aiding another? [21:58:24] I MIGHT after I do the respec for Elena's stats. If I do the respec anyway [21:58:35] If? [21:58:36] Her ability scores are really scattered because of retarded feat prereqs [21:58:40] Shit, my math got messed up, and I'm not starting again [21:59:07] heh [21:59:13] STR 8 -1 +1 [21:59:13] CON 12 +1 +3 [21:59:13] DEX 14 +2 +4 [21:59:13] INT 19 +4 +6 [21:59:13] WIS 16 +3 +5 [21:59:13] CHA 12 +1 +3 [21:59:27] Yeah, that's not great [21:59:46] It's best to focus on at most 3 stats [21:59:46] Strength is nothing. I forget what Con is for. I want Dex for a feat in paragon that lets Elena remove squares from her area blasts. [21:59:56] I need int to hit. I need Wis for Orb of Imposition. [22:00:01] And I might need Cha for Illusion spells [22:00:11] Nova: 'Just an Eye' is kind of an iffy proposition when you consider that this guy was probably in charge of at least a hundred orcs [22:00:21] Oh was he? [22:00:32] I was hoping he was important [22:01:01] Enough that giving him and the other one we have like him back to Orc Nerath might make them leave Horbek's Glory alone. [22:01:14] Plus the Chieftan. [22:01:15] Yeah. I mean, you guys ended up involved in this battle nearing the end, when there were two groups of a dozen or so orcs each surrounded by kobolds, but I figured that there were more before the battle [22:01:19] Well, a hundred is a lot of people. [22:01:28] The other guy was just some dickhead guarding a storeroom. :| [22:01:31] * NovaSeaker nods. [22:01:35] Oh [22:01:43] But they were both of the same station [22:01:53] Both of the same combat stats [22:02:08] They both called themselves Eyes of Gruumsh, didn't they? [22:02:23] I thought they were wearing the same "uniform" so to speak [22:02:23] How many eyes does Gruumsh have? [22:02:29] One. [22:02:47] I dunno how many Eyes he has, though. [22:02:51] Yeah, but, like, the guy in charge of a church in Podunk Iowa and the guy in charge of a major denomination in a big city still have the same ecclesiastical title a lot of the time. [22:03:06] They were both warrior-priests of gruumsh, but in different stations [22:03:38] True, but they were in the same structure, so I just thought their current circumstances were more indicative of circumstances than actual differences in importance. [22:03:40] http://kotaku.com/5231391/rpg-dream-team-delivers-steampunk-nostalgia-to-the-ds [22:03:47] * Charles nods [22:04:04] Like one of them was on "dick in a storeroom" duty and the other was in "command the garrison" duty. [22:04:18] Sounds about right [22:04:40] Even if that's true, I figure that military station and social station aren't really identical [22:04:43] And had we showed up an hour later, they would've switched [22:04:51] *nods* [22:07:21] Man, I wish there weresomething coming out next month other than MM2. :/ [22:07:24] Like, to use another, possibly similarly-irrelevant real world example, Prince Charles is, like, an NCO in the British army [22:07:28] I mean, more monsters are cool, I guess [22:07:52] And, I mean, the dude's a prince, but he's still got to answer to normal people above him in the command structure [22:08:15] * NovaSeaker nods. [22:08:42] So the Eye we just took was someone high on the chain. [22:08:47] Yeah. [22:08:58] cool [22:08:58] And the other one was just a regular orcish NCO. [22:09:02] Maybe a minor prince! Or something. I dunno. [22:09:14] If, you know, NCOs existed in a medieval context [22:09:38] I just dunno what I'm gonna do when I get to the battle with raging dwarf savages fighting raging orc savages and trying to stop them with my almighty +7 diplomacy check. [22:10:05] Aid Another, I guess. [22:10:17] ALso, thinking about it, I'm kind of thinking that if slavery existed in Nerath, it was a lot closer to the Roman model than the American model. Like, it's kind of a creepy thing to say, but America kind of ruined slavery as a concept [22:10:18] Or Knock-Out beat downs all around. [22:10:29] Yeah. America REALLY screwed up slavery. [22:10:34] @_@ [22:10:37] Because it became associated with race and deculturalization and all kinds of fucked-up things [22:11:10] While in Rome, it was a lot closer to "We beat you up, so you work for us now". [22:11:47] Roman slaves got treated a hell of a lot better too. [22:12:06] Which is really only fundamentally different from, say, serfdom in that people worked for people they knew rather than a distant feudal lord [22:12:51] heh [22:13:21] Yeah. I mean, it was never, at any point, awesome to be a slave. But at least in Greece and Rome, there were a lot more structures in place to prevent horrible abuse and torture than there were in pre-civil-war America [22:13:22] Alright! I got it! [22:13:59] We have to convince Thordin that if he kills the chieftan, there is going to be a much much larger orc horde that will just send his people into the caves again [22:14:05] And it'll be a never-ending cycle. [22:14:23] Until they die out because the orcs have a freaking EMPIRE [22:14:31] Huh. That COULD work. Maybe. [22:14:40] Yeah [22:14:41] The Chieftain might be totally willing to die trying to grind them down, though [22:14:48] I mean, they did kill his son in front of him. [22:15:03] And that if we capture the orc and send him back to the others, it will be in exchange for sovereignty. [22:15:09] And I get the feeling that it might be a little late to try to resurrect him. [22:15:16] In their defense, the chieftan's son was an orc. [22:15:29] * NovaSeaker is racist. [22:16:08] Dem: Chieftain will just have to get beaten to unconciousness then, jsut like Kosov [22:16:16] And he basically was asking for the dwarves to become slaves. Like, slaves in a society where it's not stigmatized and they're considered productive members of society. But that's still probably number one on a list of ways to get a dwarf to kill you [22:16:19] Korov? Koros? [22:16:26] True. [22:16:30] Dwarves hate slaving [22:16:37] Heh [22:16:41] Biggest turn off for dwarves. [22:16:52] "Hey, what are you into?" "Whips and chains" "AW HELL NAW" [22:17:07] Koros, yeah [22:17:25] I kind of wish there was, like, a skill for cultural studies [22:17:45] Yeah. They were like "Slaves? To you. Listen... are you 15 feet tall and made of a mountain? No? Well even if you were we'd STILL did this." *slits throat* [22:17:46] It seems weird that, because you know about trees, you know about the societies of every worldly creature [22:17:56] do* [22:18:13] I'd probably make it history instead [22:18:19] makes more sense [22:18:20] History seems appropriate [22:18:47] I mean some history text books go up to current day. So current day is history! [22:19:06] Besides, current events are just really new history. [22:19:21] Does Eve have History trained? [22:19:21] They talk about the same subjects [22:19:38] Well, she has a +2 from half her level. [22:19:43] And then -1 from being stupid. [22:19:46] Even history is a little weird. Like, I was specifically thinking that someone with good knowledge skills might realize that Koros's name is indicative that he's an important person in orc society. [22:19:48] So she's a +1. [22:20:04] I'd still say that's history. [22:20:12] anthropology and whatnot. [22:20:23] * Demota nods. [22:20:29] Maybe History should be renamed "Academics" [22:20:49] It'd probably fit that description, yeah [22:21:20] Who DOES have a lot of History anyway? Aside from Elena [22:21:31] maybe xan? [22:21:42] Plow might [22:22:05] * Demota nods [22:22:05] +11 [22:22:08] Wow, nice [22:22:10] (I figure that the "N'" prefix to his second name is an indicator in orcish society that someone is strong. Which, in traditional orcish society, is probably just a temporal title. In Nerathi Orcish society, it might indicate being a member of the nobility) [22:22:12] oh... apparently I have no Lay on Hands left [22:22:13] I bet he knows all sorts of stuff [22:22:16] Oh hey Matt [22:22:40] Like how to properly get along in the Court of Stars. Right? D: [22:22:40] I thought you went to sleep [22:22:46] Matt doesn't sleep. [22:22:47] He waits. [22:22:53] ._. [22:23:13] I say 'second name' specifically because I doubt orcs have family names, on account of usually being chaotic evil and probably not having any stronger social bonds than "I can beat up these people, those people can beat me up" [22:23:31] heh [22:24:14] I sort of wonder how common family names are in our setting anyway [22:24:41] They're probably common among eladrin, halflings (in terms of clan names) and human patricians [22:24:54] Rebekah just goes by her city. In Keep on the Shadowfell, there's an elf NPC that only has a first name given [22:25:08] * Demota nods [22:25:13] Dwarves too, probab [22:25:14] Nerathi orcs might be adopting hereditary second names to mimic the human patricians. [22:25:15] Probably [22:25:20] Yeah [22:25:28] Tieflings, too [22:25:43] I figure it largely depends on how much a society emphasizes the family as a social unit [22:25:45] I was getting ready to go to sleep [22:25:49] but I had to beat this annoying boss [22:25:56] What would Eve's children's last name be anyway? Evenovna? [22:26:43] ? [22:26:46] She might just take the 'Elidyr' dynastic name again. [22:26:48] Kasnora [22:26:54] I have no idea how Tsa... vagor...... names work. [22:26:57] Oh yeah. [22:27:02] Ooh. That too [22:27:04] Since I think at this point, we've more or less agreed that 'Elidyr' was a dynastic name rather than a personal name [22:27:15] Nova: My reasoning was... like, you know how Russian names work? [22:27:17] She'd probably append Elidyr to her name, so it'd be Eve Kasnora Elidyr [22:27:24] Ivanovich means "Son of Ivan". [22:27:29] Not at all. [22:27:30] Ivanovna is "Daughter of Ivan" [22:27:41] That doesn't mean anything. [22:27:48] That's just that particular last name. [22:27:59] But I have evidence! [22:28:00] My coworker is Nikolai Zvyagin. [22:28:14] True [22:28:28] I guess that's about as accurate as "Jackson" or "Peterson" these days [22:28:31] Kasnora is just her last name. [22:28:57] I was kind of assuming that 'Kasnora' was either the name of a town or a construction that indicated parentage. Just because outside of noble families (And I'm pretty sure she lived as a commoner), family named were indicative of *something* during this time period [22:29:09] Where she got it doesn't entirely matter [22:29:20] * NovaSeaker nods. [22:29:36] Perhaps "Kasnora" is the district she grew up in. [22:29:42] That could make sense [22:29:43] Not sure why she'd still use it though [22:29:49] Seeing as how she's exiled. [22:29:58] Well, it's where she was born. [22:30:05] Even noble family names were more or less indicative or something, I think, though damned if I can tell what. [22:30:29] Yeah. I mean, she'd still be Eve from Kasnora even if she can't go back there without drama in the LBC [22:30:43] LBC? [22:30:46] I dunno. [22:31:10] Little Big Country? [22:31:11] I honestly see Eve as not giving a shit about Tsavarogorov anymore. [22:31:19] At least for now [22:31:36] Yeah, now she's got punching to do [22:31:38] She's just disgusted with it as a whole. I don't think she'd introduce herself as being from any part of it. [22:31:46] Eve Bahamut? [22:31:50] Eve Swamp? [22:31:56] Just Eve [22:31:59] But she has used Kasnora. [22:32:01] It's a line from a Snoop Dogg song. It refers to Long Beach California [22:32:04] Red-Handed Jill? [22:32:09] It's most likely an obscure occupation. [22:32:15] aah [22:32:20] That her father had. [22:32:26] Maybe 'Kasnora' refers to a specific type of hermit. [22:32:34] Heh [22:32:37] Alright, I'm off now [22:32:38] night guys [22:32:40] night Matt [22:32:43] Night Matt [22:32:48] Like, Tsarovogorov is sort of russian, so they'd probably have a term for a crazed hermit that lives in a swamp. :V [22:32:51] Night, Matt [22:32:52] Haha [22:32:57] * MattyQ (mattyqwill@c-75-67-221-215.hsd1.nh.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [22:32:57] haha [22:33:02] Names make me curious now [22:33:11] Like... these human names don't MEAN anything in Common [22:33:21] yeah [22:33:35] And Tsavarogorov doesn't really have it's own language [22:33:40] That's why I figure there are, like, linguistic drifts and they make sense to them but not to us [22:33:44] * Demota nods [22:33:50] * NovaSeaker nods. [22:34:01] So Tsavarogorov might be from... I don't know, dwarven, then filtered through elven, then into Common? [22:34:03] Like, in the sense that old english is weird as shit and that's just a few centuries old [22:34:26] I kind of figure that every language *not* tied to the elemental plane is somewhat similar [22:34:36] Like the Romance Languages, they all have a common parent [22:34:39] For my own personal view of Eve and her history, and the pride she has in her name, Kasnora is most likely related to family in some manner, like, "Kasnora" could even mean "Twin" [22:35:09] But I figure that, like, the language humans spoke a thousand years ago isn't identical to the language humans speak now [22:35:21] So how can people read it? [22:35:30] And some family and place names might still be in Old Common or Old Elvish or Old Draconic. [22:35:33] With difficulty, I guess [22:35:45] Like Shakespere [22:35:49] Yeah. [22:35:51] spear? [22:35:51] True [22:35:55] Spear [22:36:00] I wonder how old "Old Draconic" is [22:36:07] Shake-spear? Really? [22:36:09] It would probably never get as weird as, like, actual old english [22:36:30] But that's because actual old english is actually a fucked up brand of german that the normals imported [22:36:41] * NovaSeaker nods. [22:36:46] Normans, rather. And actually, that's not it at all, Normams were french [22:36:53] I think old english came from the Saxons [22:37:00] I'm unsure what occupation Eve's father would have had. [22:37:04] I think it's Shakespeare, too [22:37:12] Tavern owner? [22:37:41] Maybe. I'm fairly certain her mother was a templar. [22:37:47] And, yeah, I figure that to the average person, the 'old' languages sound kind of awkward and stilted [22:37:49] Templar owner? [22:37:51] I'm actually 50/50 on that. [22:37:56] ._. [22:38:13] (That might actually be why so many NPCs have overwrought sentence structure. They learned an outdated version of the language) [22:38:20] hahahahah [22:38:30] God damn I'mstill shaking my head at D&D Game Day [22:38:45] I think Eve's grandmother would have wanted to teach her children to be strong and fight for what they believe in, so they wouldn't have to rely on someone else's protection and could instead protect. [22:38:49] I was playing with first time players, and they KNEW when I was narrating and when I was just reading it off [22:38:52] Hm. [22:39:00] Guard, scout, politician... [22:39:02] Whether that sunk in with her daughter, or skipped a generation to Eve, I dunno [22:39:16] I was more referring to my own NPCs. In a way, it seems weird to have NPCs talk conversationally. [22:39:21] aah [22:39:33] But it also seems weird to have the NPCs and only the NPCs talk like Fantasy People when the PCs don't [22:40:05] I try to maintain my broken sentence structure, but I'm forgetting more and more." [22:40:09] (Though my kobolds are very rarely overwrought, and I think Koros managed to get a little less stilted as he went) [22:40:11] Yeah, it REALLY stands out in Stargate when someone talks like a normal human being [22:41:05] If the kobold priest and Koros become recurring characters, they'll probably find more natural voices as they go [22:42:17] How is Elena's speech right now anyway? [22:42:29] Is it weird that I keep thinking of the game as it's running right now as the prologue? [22:42:54] Not too weird. [22:43:25] Just because, by the time you guys get to the end of it, you're finally figuring out the state of the world outside your immediate concerns and getting to know characters who're likely to show up again and sort of coming into your own a little. But on the other hand it's been like nine months [22:44:24] yeah [22:44:47] Then we'll likely be taking a break for Keep on the Shadowfell soon. [22:45:05] What I'd REALLY like to do is run concurrently with Odal's fen, but I don'tknow if people would hav etime for that [22:45:21] I feel weird choosing what NPCs might come back. Like, there are some who I have plans for over time [22:45:40] But there are others who I don't know if anyone really cares about [22:46:10] * Demota nods [22:46:15] You could ask [22:46:34] Like, say, the warlock you guys met is now more or less the head of Harborhead, and then there's the admiral of the refuge float, and they're politically important but I don't particularly feel they're engaging enough to develop into more full personae [22:47:21] But I'm not really a good judge of what NPCs are engaging and what NPCs aren't [22:48:00] Right now, I identify those NPCs as representatives of their towns more than characters on their own. [22:48:30] I don'tmean that in a bad way [22:48:33] The Refuge float guy didn't seem particularly engaging to me. [22:48:53] I'm not even sure he gave us a name? [22:49:37] He was cool, and interesting in his part of the story, but I don't see a need for him to return unless we specifically need an ally at sea. [22:49:41] Yeah [22:50:02] As for Harborhead, we never actually saw how that finished out [22:50:55] She did strike me as kinda interesting as a Star Pact warlockish person with an eye out for the community [22:51:33] I get the impression that WotC wants to tell us that Star Pact is dangerous, but I'm really not seeing it. [22:53:58] The orc andthe kobold right now are engaging. Thordin isn't quite as engaging. Though thismight be "Hey, we're hereRIGHT NOW" talking [22:54:19] sleeping. See you at youkai tomrorow [22:55:08] Oh yeah that warlock was kinda cool [22:55:35] I barely remember her though, cause I didn't play much of harborhead End of #Exalted buffer Thu Apr 30 06:19:16 2009
