[D&D 4E PbP] (OOC) Keep on the Shadowfell+

Fiaryn

Hippofant you are breaking greedbot's robo-heart hating on word games ;_;

Kay

I think that the red you're using now is just fine, Rius. It doesn't leap off the page and stab me in the face, and it's definitely red, so all is well.

I can see that Tara and Andrei are going to get on... very well.

I'm liking how things are going so far. Got a good balance between Godfrey's flamboyance, Tokul's near-savantism, Tara's headaches and pragmatism, and Nolar's gruff but good-natured dwarfishness. I'm interested to see how Zeke's going to develop with his Wizard MC (and I actually have something to play on that before this scene is out), and I'm looking forward to seeing out Andrei's noble nature comes out here.

Edit: Added Blackguard houserule to the OP. Pretty sure this is what Aegis, Aegeri and I agreed upon in the last 4E Discussion Thread.

Also, checked out everyone's skills. There's some nice depth in there, really. As in, you cover every single skill, and have some overlap. Two guys with +7 Perception should help your chances in ambushes, three Historians, two Arcanists, three Religion buffs, and a pair of Diplomats. Your woodsmen, however... are Tokul and Tara. Both trained in Nature, while Tokul has a bonus of +5 when attempting to navigate. Gotta remember that bonus, Draco, it makes your Nature skill pretty formidable!

I thought I may need to 'clarify' the Runepriest rules, but when I read them through again, they make perfect sense. I think the guy that I witnessed playing one was doing it wrong. He kept insisting he could change his rune state with a free action, when instead it's whenever you use a power. I think he was trying to switch to Rune of Protection at the end of each turn, which annoyed me in the same way as Swordmages using a two-handed grip on their versatile weapons for that all-important PLUS ONE DAMAGE then switching to a single-handed grip at the end of their turn for the improved Warding.

I've also added the information on Tokul's Resourceful Presence feature that triggers on Action Point use. That's in the OOC OP, and I'll try to remember to include it in the status block for combat encounters. Does anyone else (Aegis?) have something similar? I think Runepriest leader bonuses are more active and linked to Mending Word and Rune States.

Anything else I've missed, or any questions people had for me?

The only thing I needed to clarify was Tara's base to-hit roll. Her Orokos sheet lists it as +7, but shouldn't it be +8? (Intmod +5, +1 enhancement, +1 expertise, +1 Accurate Orb)

Rius

I was tempted to launch into the South Park bit with the canadians.

"I'm not your friend, guy!"

"Well I'm not your guy, buddy!"

"He's not your buddy, friend!"

GREEDBOTS FRIEND PROTOCOL IS UNSTOPPABLE

SURRENDER, AND BE ASSIMILATED INTO THE FRIEND COLLECTIVE.

Rius

Man, Godfrey and Andrei are going to have the best interactions.

If you boot up the Character Builder and click on one of your attack powers, there should be a break down of your attack bonus. Check and see what's missing and go from there?

Can't. At work. I think it is supposed to be a +8, but I'll check tomorrow / really late tonight.

Kay

I can check later on tonight. One of the benefits to sharing sheets on Orokos is that I can download the builder file, make adjustments, and reupload. :winky:

Kay

Adjusted Hippo's sheet, and found the problem. Main hand had a plain Accurate Orb, off-hand had the +1 version. All fixed now.

Okay, now. Do people want me to move on to the next scene, before you guys leave? Or did you want to continue interacting in the Lord Warden's presence for a little while?

Aegis

Is it 200 gp total or per person?

Also, are we able to shop for stuff before we hit the scene tomorrow?

Kay

200GP total. Not a huge reward, 'cause you didn't really do anything for it. But more's coming tomorrow.

If there's anything in particular that you what, I'm sure it can be picked up tomorrow before you get ready to leave.

Aegis

That's fine! I can do plenty with 40 more gold.

Namely, buy 2 Woundpatches becauase woundpatches are awesome.

Fiaryn

Aegis that is a fantastic dwarven proverb.

I am enjoying this goofy ass party.

DracoGriffin

Yeah, imagining my dragonborn just kind of wandering around in the background; kind of like a small child dragged shopping by his parents as he just wanders around while they go about their business or talking to friends.

"Doot doot doot, I'm gonna use this coatrack as a fort!" :P

hippofant

So we have 140 gp each now?

Kay

You have whatever you had left after chargen, then a purse of 200gp between you. I'll move the scene along when I get a chance, off to work now.

hippofant

I... might not have been paying attention. How much did we have at chargen?

Kay

100Gp to buy stuff. You bought an accurate orb (which you could probably just get rid of, as you don't need it), Cloth Armor, and an Adventurer's Kit.

Cloth Armour - 1GP
Adventurer's Kit - 15GP
Accurate Orb - 30GP
Spellbook - 50GP

I don't think you need to buy the Spellbook as a mage (or is it Wizards that get a free one?), and I'll let you off with the accurate orb as you have the heirloom orb that is much better. So. 34GP if you need to buy the spellbook, 84 if you don't. Plus 40GP from the last job.

hippofant

I'm rich! RICH, MOTHERFUCKERS!

Kay

Acratia, how about this image?



Messed with the contrast and colour depth, to make it look a bit more comic-booky. Good, bad?

Aegis

He's playing Orlando Bloom?

Kay

Hugh Jackman.

Aegis

Okay I can see that too but I swear it also looks like Orlando Bloom.

Kay

Anything in particular people want to say/do/threaten/prevaricate before we move this one onto to the road?

I know that Aegis wanted a couple of Woundpatches, which we shall reflavour as a dwarven bandage infused with mountain herbs and rune-wizardry (he spent some cash on reagents, and made them himself), and that Hippofant wanted a healing potion, because it beats the shit out of Tara's ability to heal with a surge.

Anything else that anyone else wanted to do? Run it by me first, then update your character sheet with your final cash. I'll keep a running total of any RICHES you might liberate from now on, and you can deal with doling out shares, or buying specific items for people from the pool, and split it up later. I'll edit that stuff into the OP of the OOC thread too, I think, so it's easy to find.

Maybe I should have reserved the second post in the thread just for that. HINDSIGHT.

Fiaryn

Godfrey would have had Zeke use Fastidiousness on him before leaving.

He must be pretty. So very pretty.

Kay

So. Anyone want to do/say anything before I get this on the road?

Fiaryn

Nah I'm good.

Aegis

Am good here!

Rius

Go for it

Kay

Of course, only the people that qualify for the spoilers should be following the instructions therein.

We've gotten to a possible encounter, yay!

Fiaryn

My cold unfeeling robo-eyes see all beep boop!

Rius

BEEP BEEP IMA [strike]JEEP[/strike] ROBOT

Acratia

I'll choose my position last, since being a squishy ranged character my location intimately depends on where everyone else goes. :P

Kay

I think Hippo can also claim that, Acratia.

hippofant

I'm like WAY squishier!

Fiaryn

Does Tokul have Combat Leader? OH IF ONLY WE COULD ACCESS EACH OTHERS SHEETS ;-)

If so our Initiative rolls just go way radder. Also lets play it cool here and not charge in too much.

Aegis

Lovely. We've rolled: 16, 13, 20, 19, 14 for initiative.

Way to get the good rolls out of the way before rolling attacks guys!

It's all 1s from here.
