Start of #Exalted buffer: Wed Jul 29 21:57:34 2009 [16:55:28] * Mechazawa (rustangel@ip-117-113.atvci.net) has joined #Exalted [16:55:29] Oi [16:55:33] Hey [16:55:37] When're we starting? [16:56:32] 10, 15 minutes [16:56:34] Aaaaahahaahahah what the shit, Jeph Loeb. [16:57:06] He's apparently starting a new arc of Hulk that involves... [16:57:58] Hulk, Red Hulk, Skaar (that's Hulk's son from Planet Hulk, I'm not entirely clear on how he's all grown up now), She Hulk, a NEW She Hulk, a red She Hulk, and two Abominations. :psyduck: [16:58:08] D: [16:58:43] Hahahahahah oh Jeph Loeb [16:59:15] I love how Marvel had this three stage master plan to reinvigorate Hulk and the first two stages were FUCKING AWESOME and the final stage is "Let Loeb have him" [16:59:57] That's sort of like the three stage plan for resusitating a dying man ending in "Let Hannibal Lechter have him" [17:00:03] hahahaha [17:00:58] He'll save him! [17:01:00] ... for dessert. [17:02:32] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYhQO57hmPQ&fmt=18 [17:02:33] :D [17:02:36] Hahaha [17:05:17] You know, I think it's kinda interesting how a lot of Divine class art seems to have tiny wings [17:05:34] I think it's because they're Devas [17:05:53] Well, there's some art in Divine Power that has it oto [17:06:15] Deva clothing involves wings a lot of the time, which makes them a lot sillier in my mind, because I've only ever seen that IRL in the case of really cutesy/derpy girls. [17:06:24] haha [17:06:29] And Devas are supposed to be all intense and mystical [17:07:29] Which is sort of interesting, playing an intense, mystical frog [17:10:37] * Demota is now known as Eilenia [17:11:22] * Mechazawa is now known as Cecil [17:12:59] * Yon is now known as Paera [17:15:58] Hahhaa "When you think about who your character are, also ask yourselves why they're in a town like this looking for an adventurer pass like that. Maybe they have a DARK PAST, or maybe they got falsely accused by a fat sheriff for a crime they didnt commit. Maybe they just like adventuring. It's up to you." [17:16:09] I like how the example is specifically a fat sheriff [17:16:24] hahahaha [17:22:04] * NovaSeaker is now known as Eve_Kasnora [17:23:47] haahaha [17:25:47] Isn't being fat part of the job description of sheriff unless you're in the old west? :T [17:26:04] Honestly, I can't imagine any kind of sheriff other than old west sheriff [17:26:10] haha [17:26:17] Roll inits? [17:26:51] 1d20+7 [17:26:52] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 16 +7 = 23 [17:27:39] Yeah, init [17:28:14] 1d20+2 [17:28:14] Paera rolls 1D20+2: 4 +2 = 6 [17:29:14] 1d20+7 [17:29:14] Charles rolls 1D20+7: 12 +7 = 19 [17:29:23] Hey, is this our first Solo? [17:30:10] There was the Quadropus and Brother Eye [17:30:16] Aaah, right [17:30:30] This is your first solo that I didn't hamfistedly build based on whimsical ideas. :V [17:30:32] I didn't think of them since they had ally spawns. Kinda [17:30:58] Yeah, neither of them were solos in the sense of being... Solo. [17:31:15] We need inits from Rusty and Nova, when we can start [17:31:21] Once I get the map drawn [17:31:37] Lauching GT [17:31:53] Hosting [17:32:32] 1d20+1 [17:32:32] Cecil rolls 1D20+1: 13 +1 = 14 [17:32:38] Sorry, didnt know you wanted mine [17:38:23] Can't hurt to have it. Let's say you arrive on the second round [17:39:48] 1d20+5 [17:39:49] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+5: 17 +5 = 22 [17:40:37] Aren't we surrounded by a magicla field or something? Having Cecil jump into it would be :frogawesome: [17:40:56] :kamifrog:? [17:41:08] Oh, did Paera use any of her healing surges to heal herself? [17:41:13] That might be a good idea [17:41:23] I had not thought to do that [17:41:35] Same with Elena. Can we say we did it> :( [17:41:49] It was a magically-racised stone wall [17:42:00] Yeah [17:42:08] And sure, that'd make sense to have done in the previous short rest [17:42:33] Alright, Elena's spending one surge to hit 34. [17:42:41] And... this encounter would give us an AP, yeah/ [17:43:03] Yeah [17:43:29] I don't think I used mine in the last battle [17:43:37] For the record, the stone wall is ~30 feet high, for terms of vertical targetting [17:43:38] It was a pretty quick one [17:43:39] Neither did I [17:43:45] So I'll probably use my AP here. [17:43:47] Actually, I'll put a current altitude marker on the dragon [17:43:48] 6 squares high, gotcha [17:44:08] Glad I saved my dailies, though I was saving them for Coldheart [17:44:38] Spending a surge to get to 37 [17:45:08] ... odd. Why do I have two level 2 utilities listed? [17:45:18] Spellbook? [17:45:19] I have Phantasma Terrain and Shield. [17:45:21] Oh, right [17:45:28] Spellbook does utilities? [17:45:33] Yeah [17:45:33] Yeah [17:45:36] Huh [17:45:43] Didn't know that, thought it was just dailies [17:45:46] Hahahaha, wow, Tim Schaeffer pwned Jick at a Comicon party [17:46:04] http://i29.tinypic.com/ws5quc.jpg [17:46:13] Jick said that Psychonauts was a good game, but too hard for him, and Schaeffer's response was "Well, do you have any kids? Because one of them could play it for you." [17:46:24] Aww [17:46:41] Hahahaha [17:47:59] In the air, huh. [17:48:10] What kind of angle can I get with my close bursts and long bursts? [17:48:57] Well, ranged stuff works the same, albeit considering the vertical/diagonal range [17:49:06] Hm. [17:49:06] Close bursts are cubic, unless it makes sense for it not to be [17:49:15] x^2 + y^2 = c^2... [17:49:34] Like, fireball fills a cube, phantasmal terrain is just on the ground [17:49:43] Bursts in general, actually [17:50:04] Orbmaster's got a range of... 10 squares. But I just need one square for him to be in, so it's technically 11 squares. [17:50:35] The dragon's only 7 or 8 squares away [17:50:37] Is the blast radius on Incendiary a cube, or is it a "disc" like a Diablo nova? [17:50:41] Remember, non-euclidean geometry [17:50:42] Yeah, but he's 6 squares up [17:50:45] Oh, right [17:51:07] I wish I could use APs outside of my turn. :/ [17:51:19] it's a cube [17:51:21] I figured that anything that explodes is cubic [17:52:00] * Eve_Kasnora nods. [17:52:06] Okay, I'm gonna try to hit him with a Cloud of Daggers, I guess. [17:52:11] I'm in no good position for anything else [17:52:20] 1d20+7 [17:52:21] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 9 +7 = 16 [17:52:24] vs Ref [17:52:40] Miss [17:53:14] Man, I'm inordinately proud of how I demarkated how high the dragon is. :| [17:53:49] ..I don't get it [17:54:03] Dragon takes 3 Force damage at start of his next turn [17:54:12] Oh, and remember readied actions [17:54:18] It takes a standard action to ready an action, yeah? [17:54:22] Nova: It's a reference to The Big Lebowski. [17:55:29] ah [17:55:41] yeah, it does [17:55:51] I'm going to ready... [17:55:52] The Dude was high, and his rug really tied the room together [17:55:54] Hahahahhaha [17:56:40] ...What are you laughing at? [17:56:50] "People warn about MMO developers getting into a developer vs. player mindset, but I think we should embrace it." "Oh, yeah, some of them." "We could just antagonize a random part of the player base each day by making a script that chooses random people who logged on the day before and kicking them off and taking away some of their shit." [17:56:56] All said completely straight-faced [17:57:28] hahaha [17:57:45] hahahaha [17:58:58] Going to ready with Distracting Spate if it gets near me [17:59:04] * Charles nods [17:59:05] Which will mark it. [17:59:26] And if it then tries to move away from me, with, say a flyby attack, I can OA it, hopefully [18:00:17] * Charles nods [18:00:21] Staying in place? [18:00:43] * Charles nods [18:01:37] 1d20+8 [18:01:37] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 5 +8 = 13 [18:02:33] 1d20+8 [18:02:33] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 14 +8 = 22 [18:02:33] 1d20+8 [18:02:33] Charles rolls 1D20+8: 4 +8 = 12 [18:02:46] 1d10+3 [18:02:46] Charles rolls 1D10+3: 2 +3 = 5 [18:02:56] yeah [18:03:02] 5 damage, 5 ongoing poison damage, slowed, Eve [18:03:20] damn :/ [18:03:23] What's that burst? [18:04:01] At 46 cause I had spent a surge to heal to full [18:04:07] DRAGONS BREATH [18:04:15] Burst 5 [18:04:24] Oh, derp [18:04:32] Eeesh [18:04:43] Save ends the ongoing and slow, but it has a slow aftereffect [18:04:53] Ah okay [18:05:15] Fuck I have no ranged attacks. [18:05:25] Perfect time to kick Xan out of the party :/ [18:05:27] Not even a bow or something? :/ [18:05:31] Nope! [18:05:39] Are paladins bow-proficient [18:05:46] Sacred flame. [18:05:46] Crossbows [18:05:58] 1d20+8 [18:05:58] Paera rolls 1D20+8: 10 +8 = 18 [18:06:09] Well I figure the dragon has to come down eventually... [18:06:14] How about we say you bought a crossbow at some point during the break because a ranged attack is something everyone should have (for this circumstance) [18:06:19] Vs ref. [18:06:21] Elena can make him come down. [18:06:27] Miss [18:06:44] A crossbow would be completely ineffectual [18:06:50] My attack bonus with it would be +2 [18:07:21] oh way, I do have some dec [18:07:22] dex [18:07:24] Yeah, but it's still objectively better than not having any attacks until it lands [18:07:37] Also, maybe heavy thrown weapons or something? [18:07:43] Ah, yeah [18:07:54] But I think throwing hammers are lame :/ [18:07:59] Axes? [18:08:03] I dunno, maybe you can find a magic tomahawk in its horde [18:08:37] handaxe! [18:08:37] The Francisca was throwing axe that was so effective and devastating that the country it forged was named after it [18:08:42] That fits Eve [18:08:52] Also, throwing hammers ARE NOT LAME http://old-wizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/hammer_bros.gif [18:09:26] Alright, he's closer to the ground. Excellent [18:09:53] Stepping away, Orbmaster's Incediary Detonation. [18:10:13] Then Orb of Imposition [18:10:17] 1d20+7 [18:10:18] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 9 +7 = 16 [18:10:20] vs ref. [18:10:21] :/ [18:10:25] Miss. :/ [18:10:40] Lemme get the zone of flame up, then I'll use an AP for something [18:10:42] Funny, there are no heavy thrown weapons with prof +3 [18:11:36] I bought 2 handaxes. Let's just say she picked them up from her cabin before setting out and deduct it from the party total [18:12:04] * Charles nods [18:12:09] ENEMIES, not "creatures" that enter the zone take 2 fire damage [18:12:30] Blowing Visions of Avarice on him [18:12:44] ... we need more colors for templates [18:13:04] Yeah [18:13:36] Yon: Is it just me, or does Erathis have TERRIBLE aim? [18:13:49] It's not just you! [18:13:57] God works in mysterious ways :| [18:14:25] Honestly I only recall you ever hitting with anything like a handful of times [18:14:34] I mean, Erathis hitting anything [18:15:11] hahahaha what [18:15:21] On the Dragon's turn, he's subjected to an attack. [18:15:27] Tell me thats not just you using a cantrip and hoping it works [18:15:38] heh, cool [18:16:02] On his turn, he'll be pulled 3 closer [18:16:25] Oh. Derp. I was supposed to "Expand" on the next turn. [18:16:30] Oh well. It doesn't matter [18:16:46] My turn's done [18:16:56] Okay, I take 5 damage. [18:16:59] Alright, your go, Eve [18:17:18] Minor action put a sword away, minor action draw a handaxe, standard action ranged basic [18:17:28] 1d20+8 vs ac [18:17:28] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20+8: 8 +8 = 16 [18:17:37] minus one handaxe [18:17:42] 1d20 saving throw [18:17:42] Eve_Kasnora rolls 1D20: 19 [18:17:44] Miss [18:17:45] Well, we can pick it up later [18:17:50] Saved! [18:18:04] Wait [18:18:21] Can I switch weapons out as a minor, or is drawing and sheathing two distinct actions? [18:18:39] It's two [18:18:47] You could drop the sword as a free action [18:18:51] Then probably pick it up as a minor [18:18:54] If you want to take out a weapon to replace a held weapon you have to drop one held, yeah [18:19:51] Ah [18:19:59] Won't do that [18:20:12] Just trying to see if I could get him marked this turn [18:20:22] Hybrid Fighters can't mark with basic attacks [18:20:40] So now I'm slowed [18:21:17] thats my turn [18:21:19] 1d6 [18:21:19] Charles rolls 1D6: 3 [18:21:43] Dragon's turn, roll the visions of avarice attack [18:22:20] 1d20+7 [18:22:20] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 6 +7 = 13 [18:22:22] vs will [18:22:27] god dammit [18:22:40] Not another fucking night of fuuko raping us [18:23:01] Miss [18:23:04] She never rolls, like, a 15. [18:23:05] Lets hope cecil crits as much as xan [18:23:12] Or a 14. [18:23:23] It's 1-10, 19, 20. [18:23:23] Okay, I can sustain it as a minor, at least [18:24:06] 1d20+10 [18:24:06] Charles rolls 1D20+10: 1 +10 = 11 [18:25:42] ha ha, see if you like Fuuko too, dumb dragon [18:25:58] haha [18:26:37] 1d20+8 [18:26:37] Cecil rolls 1D20+8: 17 +8 = 25 [18:26:41] ath check.

[18:28:20] 1d20+11 [18:28:21] Cecil rolls 1D20+11: 10 +11 = 21 [18:28:24] thats my attack [18:28:26] (She has a thing for wizards, and likes kinky wizard sex) [18:29:00] Hits [18:29:01] "I cast level 9 Rock your world!" "Yes, baby! Be doing it to me!" [18:29:27] 2d12+8 [18:29:27] Cecil rolls 2D12+8: 1 3 +8 = 12 [18:29:47] Aaaargh [18:29:49] :/ [18:29:54] at least I hit [18:29:55] Since that was our first damage roll tonight, reroll that [18:29:59] 2d12+8 [18:29:59] Cecil rolls 2D12+8: 11 12 +8 = 31 [18:30:03] There we go:) [18:30:04] I want to finish this encouter before tomorrow [18:30:08] Awesome!

[18:31:03] And you're now on top of the dragon. It'll be an athletics or acrobatics check to stay on each time it moves [18:31:32] (That's awesome) [18:31:50] GET ON THE HYDRA'S BACK [18:31:54] ahahahahahahahha [18:31:59] hahahahahaha [18:32:07] I don't get it :( [18:32:16] Kingdom Hearts 2 [18:32:21] Now I can randomly teleport to it over and over again. [18:32:29] Aaah [18:32:49] Even more sacred flame. [18:32:55] 1d20+8 [18:32:55] Paera rolls 1D20+8: 4 +8 = 12 [18:32:59] ffffffff [18:33:05] Fuck it, reroll [18:33:10] Fuuko only lets us hit if it's dramatic. [18:33:18] 1d20+8 [18:33:18] Paera rolls 1D20+8: 10 +8 = 18 [18:33:27] Xan? Oh, totally fine, makes a daring last minute escape from the gnolls with a goddamn "wake up with a surge" then crit [18:33:34] Against which? [18:33:39] Cecil? Max damage as soon as he shows up [18:33:47] Ref. Didn't hit last time so I'm assuming it's not a hit. [18:33:56] Nope. Just barely misses [18:34:04] That's because I'm playing for the right reasons. [18:34:46] Or Paera whiffing everything until she pulls out a daily on the last badguy and then critting. :V [18:34:59] Yeah [18:35:02] Oh, also, if you want, you can make an athletics check as a standard against its fort to wrangle this shit [18:35:14] Because what the hell, you're riding a dragon [18:35:24] OKay, minor to sustain the fire [18:35:34] Minor to sustain Avarice [18:35:52] Standard for CoD. :/ [18:35:53] 1d20+7 [18:35:54] Eilenia rolls 1D20+7: 9 +7 = 16 [18:35:54] vs Ref [18:36:02] Miss [18:36:16] Here's a hint: Attacks against reflex aren't gonna work that well on this guy [18:36:21] Rusty: The right reasons? What, do you listen to the "heart of the dice"? [18:36:25] I don't have much else. [18:36:31] I can't get close enough for a Thunderwave. [18:36:42] We really need to down this fucker [18:36:42] All my attacks are against ref. [18:36:50] Dang [18:37:16] oh, my turn [18:37:27] Believe me, I want to target other defenses, but my stuff is either Ref or Will. [18:37:29] Well.. uh... [18:37:32] Handaxe!

[18:41:23] Heh, I can teleport onto its back if I fall off. [18:41:26] Absolutely [18:41:32] Awesome. [18:41:34] What's your AC? [18:41:43] Rusty! [18:41:47] Do not teleport up to it! [18:42:02] We want you on the ground so you can Ensanre it and make it close enough for us to hit it! [18:42:19] At least the dragon takes 3 damage on his next turn [18:42:23] And gets subject to another Avarice [18:43:20] I do. [18:43:25] What's your AC? [18:44:25] Its on gt [18:44:31] Okay.
