[OOC][DnD] Ancient's Game

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sat Oct 30, 2004 2:04 am

I mainly do these little snippets of blah to simulate the actual joys/rigors/tedium of travel, and give you guys the chance to interact a little...buy fruit from a passing cart, chit-chat, make checks concerning the weather, etc.

Or we can skip most of that and go on to the first serious encounter. What say? I'm easy either way.

I am down for whatever.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:51 am

Since I got my internet connection back much quicker than I expected, and was promptly poked by the GM when he saw me on, I'm asking to see if it's possible for me to rejoin the game. The reason why I was leaving permanently was the fact I had no idea where I was going to be living. So, not only do I now have an apartment with power, it's an apartment with power, phone and DSL.

So if folks want, I'll bring back my Awful Good paladin.

Great! Someone to soak up damage!

Always overeager to please, she somehow managed to work out a peace treaty between two groups who have been fighting each other for generations in less than a day. Maybe there's something to be said for those Paladins of Lathander after all.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sun Oct 31, 2004 2:31 pm

Lol to Scamp and Rico.

*pokes at her fellow players to see if they're still alive*

C'mon people! This thread has 3 times the number of pages the IC thread has!

Please note I modified my post, per the Dungeon Masters instructions.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 2:21 am

Were the events in Torin's post before or after I rejoined the others?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 3:19 am

The events he witnessed happened before. Current actions with everyone present.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 4:18 am

Okay, thanks

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 4:34 am

And to be honest I am not being super secret here. Quiet yes, but not so much so that it is impossible anyone else can't play off it if they have a good idea.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 4:51 am

I'll take you up on that then.

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 4:54 am

I'll have something up soon.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Sun Nov 07, 2004 5:26 am

Everyone feel free to use aTorin. I know that has been asore spot in other PB3 games for other players. Do not hesitate to use Torin in your posts. I think there is more than enough posted here and In Artistic Liscense to let you have a good feel for him.

Plus if you do anything I really object to, well I can always PM you and ask for an edit.

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 3:24 am

OK, if it's not obious, Jarthal's making a hearing check to see if he can understand what the others are muttering, or at least maybe get an idea of what language it might be. If necessary, he's quite willing to sneak closer to them to get a better earful.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 3:34 am

The /only one/ muttering right now is Koriel, and you can barely make out that she's saying anything at all. It sounds like elvish.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 3:52 am

Koriel wrote:It was the sound of Luadril's voice that woke her, something she was quite attuned to. Koriel made no movement from her spot in the trees, the only sign of her wakefulness the glint of the sparse light reflecting off her violet eyes. The conversation below continued, and Koriel made no noise that might overshadow any hints of this sound that had Torin worried.

So, is Koriel muttering while she's awake?

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 3:54 am

And in a tree.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 4:00 am

D'oh.

Sorry, wrong winged-one. I meant Rasiel.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 2:47 pm

Yeah, that's a tough one. Seems like there's a lot of spectacularly rare "elves with wings" flying about. Most people go their entire lives without ever seeing even one; lucky little halfling gets to meet three, one of whom is descended from gods! No wonder he's scared of them.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 4:09 pm

Eh, it could be worse I could have played Azrith.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 11:40 pm

With regards to 32's posts... if you don't like what we're doing, don't read the thread. You seem to be very condescending and snarky lately, maybe you should take a break from things on Bulldrek?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Nov 11, 2004 11:48 pm

In regards to the rather lag between posts, I'm sort of hoping Paul will come in and explain his fears to everybody...if not, I'll move the plot forward. Either way, the village is in y'all's future tomorrow.

Where the hell did this come from? It's been a couple of months since I made any comment about this game whatsoever. So, bite me. I wasn't even intending to be offensive. If I had been, I'd have said a lot more than, "Gee, there's a lot of winged elves in this game."

Reika wrote:You seem to be very condescending and snarky lately, maybe you should take a break from things on Bulldrek?

Or maybe, as in this case, you're misinterpreting the intent of things I've said to conform more with your preconceptions about my personality and behavior.

No thanks, then I'd have to get something for the food poisoning.

As for where my bitchiness came from, it seems every time you make a comment on the game, it's the way you phrase things with regards to the elves. Hence my responses.

3278 · Post by **3278** » Fri Nov 12, 2004 3:29 am

This is the only time I've said anything <i>about</i> the elves, Reika.

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Fri Nov 12, 2004 11:01 pm

Is it actually daytime, or is this getting wierd(er)?

Things are getting weirder, it's still nightitme and we've been engulfed in a beam of sunlight.

Yup.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Sat Nov 13, 2004 1:16 am

I am trying to formulate a reply that doesn't involve stabbing Rico too much.

Will post by tommorrow 1800.

Selreth Drevarian · Post by **Selreth Drevarian** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 5:42 am

I will respond to the light after Torin makes his next move.

Oh, and bless the Gods of Straight-Faced Sarcasm and the Deadpan Delivery

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 4:36 pm

My post will be up later this evening. I have the night off, but I have my kids right now. So it won't be until 2200 or so, unless they decide to actually nap today.

Selreth Drevarian · Post by **Selreth Drevarian** » Mon Nov 15, 2004 9:24 pm

It's alright. I have work till at least 10:30EST, and then I slack till 12ish on CoH. If it's up after I pass out for the night, I'll get it in the morning and probably post something in the afternoon.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 2:35 am

Okay, the light has officially been on y'all for two rounds. I need to know what actions everyone is taking before the end of the third round. Go.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 4:22 pm

How wide is this cone of daylight? Like we can't see darkness to either side, or like straight down the road narrow?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 4:33 pm

It's coming down at an angle, cutting above the trees into the clearing, centered on your fire, making a roughly ovoid circle ten feet in diameter. It's coming from the general direction of the village and the Lost Peaks, some miles distant, from at least a few hundred feet in the air.

Incidentally, you're all still within the area of the light, since none of you have mentioned your characters moving /out/ of it.

Oh, and Raz, while you don't know any details yet, the point the light is radiating from is Overwhelming.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 5:36 pm

Well I had to check if I could get out of it quickly

Jarthal · Post by **Jarthal** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 9:24 pm

OK, Jarthal's going to get Theridamas saddled and ready as soon as possible, trying to stay out of the light that seems to be dangerous. I dont' know how long that will exactly take, but that's what he's going to do, barring the appearance of any sort of screeching horror.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Wed Nov 17, 2004 10:07 pm

I'm going to make sure I snag my tools-I'm pretty useless with out them, my weapons, and then try and snag the riding dog if I have time.

Selreth Drevarian · Post by **Selreth Drevarian** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 5:14 am

First comes the rapier, then the backpack, then the armor. Then comes the horse if it's not already gone, and of course the saddle and my bedroll.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Nov 18, 2004 3:01 pm

You all made it. Now, where to next?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sat Nov 20, 2004 10:07 pm

Did y'all want to start moving?

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Sat Nov 20, 2004 10:24 pm

Did the Death Beam come from the direction we want to be heading?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sat Nov 20, 2004 10:28 pm

Yup.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Nov 22, 2004 2:30 pm

Expect my post tommorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Torin Proud · Post by **Torin Proud** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 3:23 am

Posted, but let me explain a little. I think that unless we know this village is necassary, to stop in we should pass it by, and keep moving. Torin doesn't know this, but figures that if they could find us once and try and beam us, well they could do it again.

Perosnally my own thoughts, with all the information posted so far, is we move out, with our winged folk in a wedge style formation and the rest of us trailing as fast as we can. (A sort of movement to contact pace.) If we find anything to make us stop, then cool, but if not then lets move forward as fast as we can.

I admit I may not have all the information. I tried to keep Torin's post true to character. He's fine with going to the village, not out of any altruistic measures, but he'd go for a hot bath and an Inn. And some beer.

Razbar ibn Mujallah · Post by **Razbar ibn Mujallah** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 3:11 pm

I'd like to learn the school and estimated level of the spell that was cast, if it was, in fact magic.

I think it requires a spellcraft check.. it's under the detect magic rules, at any rate.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Nov 24, 2004 8:07 pm

<rolls a d20>As far as you can determine, the effect was an evocation. The lingering traces at the site of the effect extend back through the air, toward the village, to a point slightly beyond the village...perhaps five miles distant as the flying snake flies, and hundreds of feet in the air. The source is overwhelmingly powerful...an artifact, surely, or else a diety.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Thu Nov 25, 2004 6:05 am

Since it's near the village, that's why I was considering stopping there for info, but we'd have to wait for people to wake up, unless the light was bright enough to disturb them. Locals can be surprising fonts of knowledge, especially the old geezers sitting on the porch of the local tavern swapping stories.
