Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sun Nov 28, 2004 11:43 pm

Uh, guys? Y'all still want to play?

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 1:34 am

Yeah, I'm still in. I just haven't had much time, what with all the family stuff this weekend. Should have something up later tonight or tomorrow.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 1:37 am

Yeah holiday weekend means you should be patient man-my bet is everyone is pressed for time.

Time? I just finished throwing the last of the relatives out the door about an hour ago.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 2:03 am

Just checkin' guys.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Mon Nov 29, 2004 2:55 pm

Sorry, ins and outs of holidays and just feeling rather lost in regards to what to do in the game at the moment, Koriel isn't all that proactive

Koriel Zauth · Post by **Koriel Zauth** » Tue Nov 30, 2004 7:35 pm

Right, here we go again in my way of managing to confuse D&Ders by dumb questions. Channel consensus was ask the GM what constitutes living, ie, do cure spells work on plants as plant is a creature type?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Nov 30, 2004 7:46 pm

Uh...yesss, plants /do/ can be the target of cure spells. Please note however, anything within the circle is past a cure spell. Hell, it's past mulch.

Player vs character

But I had to ask before posting something that not only doesn't work, but its rules wise impossible

Wake up, I think everyone went home already.

Last term paper is being written tonight. Something up tomorrow.

And we even managed to restrain ourselves. We didn't even draw crude phali on his face with permanent markers. And like Scamp, last paper's done. Once a reply goes up, Selreth will continue.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 12:05 am

Hey Scamp, just clarifying, Jartha''s "No, never again" was that in response to Luadril's comment, or the fact she had the nerve to touch him?

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:34 am

Well, it's intended as a response to the comment, but take it how you like. I mean, Jarthal doesn't give a hell of a lot of social cues, you know?

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 1:47 pm

Okay this may make me the asshole here, but so be it.

First we need to all take a serious look at what was actually said and done, and cue off that not the "thought balloons" so to speak. I think maybe we all need to communicate with each other more here, otherwise I know I will continue to be frustrated.

Ancient what the hell are we doing here? Is this scene important to kill this much time on? I mean I have posted on a regular basis here, and the game has gone dick forward in my opinion. Hell as far as I can tell reika, Scamp, Kai and I are the only ones playing.

I admit this may not be couth, so feel free to rip me a new one.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Fri Dec 17, 2004 3:12 pm

I dunno, the pacing just seems off. The times where we could have gotten into character interaction seemed to be cut short and now really doesn't seem the time to be having long discussions even though we seem to have the time.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sat Dec 18, 2004 1:30 am

No arguements from me Paul. TBH I thought the game had died for awhile there, hence why I hadn't done very much for a bit since I was afraid I was hogging the spotlight. I have been trying to help get the game get going, but was told that PB3s are like this.

I also agree a hundred percent about the thought bubbles stuff, especially seeing my char is very good at picking up the attitudes of the people around her. She may not say the right things being that she's a paladin and everyone else is a bit more laid back, but she can pick up on the 'tudes.

I think part of the problem is the number of people we have. The weird thing is I can handle up to 6 people in an irc game, yet I think that's too many for a PB3. Those of us who can post more often will leave the others in the dust without meaning to.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 1:40 pm

Sorry--I'm out-of-town and haven't been able to check up in the last few days.

The game's pace is as slow as the slowest poster, I'm afraid. I really thought it had died too.

The reason this "scene" is taking so long is because your characters tend not to do much...they talk, they have personalities, etc. but there's not much...action. we've spent the last dozen posts and couple weeks half-discussing whether or not to head toward the light.

I want you all to post the actions your character does...if someone does not post, either ask me what they're doing or assume that they're following the majority of the group. Actions can be short, or detailed, I really don't care. "I stealthily walk skirt around the village toward the light." works fine.

Kai · Post by **Kai** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 2:21 pm

Well that's unfortunatly part of the character. Koriel doesn't do much unless asked or following Luadril. I've done what I can, and I guess that's my fault for making a passive character in a non character driven PB3 , but it would break character quite a bit for her to be proactive or forward in any way.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Dec 20, 2004 3:34 pm

I dinnae care is you're character's a submissive and wants Luadril as her dominatrix! You could dote, or look around, or follow her around like a lost puppy, or well...I dunno. I don't want to preach tot he choir on this, unfrotuantely, I think that's who's listening.

Also, Reika: As you hover above the trees, you notice a /great/ deal of smoke coming from the direction of the village, more than is normal...it seems like something large is on fire.

Selreth Drevarian · Post by **Selreth Drevarian** » Sun Dec 26, 2004 6:38 pm

Maybe it's the fact that both school and the Pushy Evil Retail Holiday Season are over, but something just struck me.

Did we lose anything in the Bright Circle of Burnination?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Dec 27, 2004 10:17 pm

Yes. A five-pound loaf of halfling trail bread was reduced beyond the point of toast, and you lost all the jam for your lambas bread.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 2:36 am

I'm back from vacation...are we giving the game last rites, or killing the chicken to resurrect it?

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 5:43 am

Sorry, I keep wanting to post, but feel totally uninspired. My char's natural reaction is to give warning about the fire and go to investigate, but I know both OOCly and ICly what the reactions are going to be and don't feel up to dealing with them atm.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 2:15 pm

Ah. Gotcha. Mayhap it would accelerate things if y'all encountered something.

Elldren · Post by **Elldren** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 9:25 pm

Sorry... I've been more or less incommunicado for the past month or so, so I haven't posted either, to, well, anything.

Torin Proud · Post by **Torin Proud** » Wed Jan 05, 2005 11:25 pm

Torin will, providing I can make some sort of initiative roll, ready his sword and quickly scan the area for cover and concealment.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 2:20 pm

Okay, Initiative is as follows: Luadril first, then Rasiel and Torin, then Selreth and Koriel, then Razbar, then your scaly opponents, and then Jarthal.

The three reptilian humanoids are 30 feet away and currently moving toward you across the ashy, smoking ground.

Luadril, are you making a melee attack? If so, let me no if you're using any options like "Full Attack."

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 3:45 pm

Damn, my initiative roll blows.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 6:55 pm

You rolled a three. Sorry.

TheScamp · Post by **TheScamp** » Thu Jan 06, 2005 8:11 pm

Heh. That's cool. Happens sometimes.

Do we all declare actions first, or do I wait till everyone else has gone to do anything?

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 12:25 am

Hm, so need to get one of the combat feats for winged characters.

Probably will regret this, but she's going to do a flying charge into the black-scaled reptilionoid.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 2:22 am

I would advise waiting to see what others do, but I'll leave it to you.

Flying charge...add modifier for masterwork weapon (I assume you're using the masterwork longsword?)...and roll damage...ooh, max damage, that's messy...add strength modifier...right, you kill your opponent with that attack. Feel free to post the combat and the result with flavor text, Reika, unless you want me to.

Torin: you don't spot any real cover on the ashy field, unless you want to cover yourself in ash and lie down in it.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 2:30 am

Ouch! I'll have to come up with something suitablly messy.

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 11:37 am

Nope, I guess its stand and fight behind someone bigger, like Jarthal!

Paul · Post by **Paul** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 11:40 am

Rasiel's turn?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 1:35 pm

Rasiel /and/ Torin are acting in the same round.

Serious Paul · Post by **Serious Paul** » Fri Jan 07, 2005 7:51 pm

Copy expect my post shortly.

Reika · Post by **Reika** » Sat Jan 08, 2005 7:41 pm

We may want to consider seeing if we can take one of them alive for questioning. btw Luadril can speak Draconic in case that's the language the reptiloids are using.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Sun Jan 09, 2005 1:35 am

Elldren hasn't responded yet, so we'll say Rasiel is readying her weapons. That means it's Selreth and Koriel's turn.

Reika: The reptilian creatures /are/ speaking Draconic, and are right now howling how much they expect winged elves to taste like chicken.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Jan 10, 2005 10:08 pm

Kai, your shot goes wide and fails to hit the target.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 7:08 pm

Okay, Raz, time for the magic man to test his mettle.

Razbar ibn Mujallah · Post by **Razbar ibn Mujallah** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 7:29 pm

AH: Is it possible to catch all three of them in a 15-foot cone-shaped burst of burning hands without catching the allied melee combatants?

Edit: Not all three, but rather, the remaining two. It looks like one was already severed.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jan 12, 2005 10:52 pm

Raz: No. You're too far away for a 15-foot cone to reach them.

Razbar ibn Mujallah · Post by **Razbar ibn Mujallah** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 5:03 am

Well, throw me an untrained ride check to see if I can dismount as a free action. If so, I'll move and then cast.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 3:46 pm

...why don't you just ride the damn horse closer?

Razbar ibn Mujallah · Post by **Razbar ibn Mujallah** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 7:40 pm

Oh, I didn't realize I had a warhorse.
In that case, yes.

Razbar ibn Mujallah · Post by **Razbar ibn Mujallah** » Thu Jan 13, 2005 7:49 pm

If I can catch both of them in the 15 foot cone after moving, that'd be keen. It's a Reflex DC 18 for half of 1d4 fire damage. (Fear my wrath)

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Jan 14, 2005 1:13 am

Batter's up, Jarthal.
