Good catch, zerg. I didn't even consider that as a possibility that hippo was offering us.

But but... I posted it above!

I'm perfectly OK with going it alone or trying to pick up a new companion either way.

Sorry I haven't been around much my cat had emergency surgery and I've been pretty busy trying to take care of him.

ironzerg

GROG! That's a magic item me and Hippo have been trying to RP your way. If you don't take it next post, I will

Grog

Hopefully it's an Amulet of Hint Taking +1

hippofant

Moving on? !Ready or whatever.

ironzerg

!Ready!

Grog

!Ready

Kay

deadonthestreet

Good to go.

My cat got his stitches out!

adventfalls

!Ready

hippofant

Man, I finally got around to finding some of my old posts - I lost all my links when the forums got updated - and MAN, did I screw up some of the names/colors.

adventfalls

Mmm, feels good to do a bit of RP.

hippofant

Need time. Writing paper. Sorry

ironzerg

No problemo.

Kay

Query: Any of the conversations in earshot of the others, or are we spread out along the caravan sufficiently to make them individual encounters?

hippofant

Up to you. If any of you would like to terminate your line of convo and join another's, feel free. I imagine Iados' in particular is within earshot of everybody else

Bad feeling, ironzerg? Whatever about?!

ironzerg

It's just, if you put me in a situation where I have to chose who to save, and Kay ends up having to roll a new character because I saved the kids, I'll be inconsolable for, like 5 minutes.

Kay

You'd take kids over the softest pillows in all of Dalequan?

Are you MAD?!?

adventfalls

Mad as a fox! .....*is shot*

ironzerg

It's okay, I know a good taxidermist.

Kay

Sooo.

I could have sworn the angels at the start of the game mentioned Erathis.

I assume that no-one even remembers the names of the gods now? Azael certainly remembers the name of Sehananine, but she has an excuse due to her religious/arcane order.

I can't spell the moon-goddess' name because it is so tricksy.

I totally had to go back and double check, but yes, Erathis. And well... these villagers don't anyways!

adventfalls

Do I need to make any fancy rolls to help teach the girl, or should I just start with a few words and off-screen it?

hippofant

Hey uh, deadonthestreet, Nathan's dead, remember?


I'd prefer rolls. Probably Arcana? If you want, describe to me what you want to start with here, and I'll tell you the DC, or you can just do it IC and have me figure it out post-hoc.

Kay

He's SPEAKING TO THE DEAD. You know, like he was accused of.

ironzerg

What, to soon?

deadonthestreet

uh I meant caleb not nathan whoops

adventfalls

I was just thinking helping her understand the mechanics behind casting spells and learning a basic spell or two.

Oh hell. Just understanding how magic works is like, an easy Arcana/History check. If you want to teach her how to, say, fire a Magic Missile though, and for her to get it right on the first shot... Arcana DC 20. Make DC 15, and she gets something working. -5 to the DC if you're trying for something simpler, like Light. +2 to your roll if you can RP this well, in some way that explains how magic works in this world (... cuz I don't really know either ) at my discretion.

Kay

She has latent magical affinity? Woo!

hippofant

Well I wasn't going to set this all up and be like, No. Fail. No magic for you!

adventfalls

Got a 24! She'll get it right regardless of any RP bonus!

hippofant

I am in paper-writing HELL.

BTW, let me know when you're tired of the RP. I know, I know, it's going a little slow. It's hard to sit and RP up shit when my writing skills are required elsewhere. Takes just a bit more brainpower than executing a monster's turn.

It still says Nathan...!

hippofant

Okay, are we all RPed out for now? If so, I'll fire up the next encounter. If not, tell me where you want to go (RP-wise), cuz I'm out of ideas :oops:

adventfalls

All RP'd out, I'll respond to her.

Grog

I think mine's concluded nicely, so I'm good to move on.

Kay

Yeah, Lyssa's just talking about stuff that I, as a player, am a little unclear on. As far as I'm aware, Lyssa hears things that tell her the gods are returning, but she's all unclear herself now that the REAL gods have returned, so she's pigeonholed the Stars as heralds of the gods' return, because that fits in with them being not evil, right? Right?!?

You can just make it up, and then just be wrong! (Or right, if I decide I like your idea and co-opt it )

I am not sure what I think of your line of thinking. :o
