Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate

[Ozzy_G]

Well, yes.
Whether you're character is likely to be suspicious of such a thing is up to you.

[Ozzy_G]

Will save for Verlyn please.

[Lycar]

Hrmph. Seems like again Runa is just one step ahead of Verlyn, eh? Nice roll...

Okay, here goes...

Will save: (1d20+2)[22]

And that is why the poor warriors are so happy to have something like Moment of Perfect Mind...

Lycar

[Ozzy_G]

And another will save...

[The Great Skenardo]

This is the spellcaster equivalent of fisticuffs

[Lycar]

Another will save? Uh oh....

Will: (1d20+2)[15]

Lycar

[knewsom]

bwahahahahaha!

[Ozzy_G]

Lycar, can you post in a spoiler for me and Runa what Verlyn is currently thinking. Bearing in mind that he knows someone tried to penetrate his mind a few seconds ago (when he passed the save).
Also, I'm sorry it's a bit slow at the moment, I keep having trouble getting onto the site.

[knewsom]

best... spell.... ever....!

[knewsom]

Runa's into her grrl power.

[NobleSavage]

Hey, you guys are good at building things...

Been putting together an Afflicted Hexblade Were-Leopard, ECL 10. I really like the concept of the Ghost Faced Killer, but the way it turns out, it is severely underpowered. Going the debuffer route, so I'd like to take advantage of a Save or Die/Suck/Lose ability. I really like the Intimidate aspect of the GFK, is there any way to replicate that? Would a CdG work as a Save or Die? And is there any way to tack on some good intimidation to it?

[The Great Skenardo]

Run for it, Verlyn! There's no way you'll get out of this one a winner; two sassy sexy ladies is way above your CR right now!

[Lycar]

Muahahahaha!

Well, Runa started it! Too bad Dion can't read minds,eh?

Lycar

[The Great Skenardo]

For some reason, Runa reminds me of this...

[Ozzy_G]

Can I have an intimidate roll of Jackel please?

[The Great Skenardo]

Okay.
Intimidate - (1d20+14)[27]

[knewsom]

wow, I'm sorry guys - had a really crazy weekend, literally did not have a spare minute between thursday and monday morning - and then the damned forums were shut down! gah! Looks like everything is functional now though.

[Ozzy_G]

Finally... I hate it when the boards go down.

[Lycar]

Welcome back everybody.

Man, the story didn't even go for a full day so far and already there are intrigues brewing and stuff... marvelous!

Lycar

[Toliudar]

It's great. Although some of us had set intrigues in motion with our backstories, so it was only to be expected...

[Lycar]

It's great. Although some of us had set intrigues in motion with our backstories, so it was only to be expected...

Well, that was the idea. It's just nice to see things actually work out that way.

Also, sorry for the long post but between the server outage and the other characters I have in play in other games not being quite that talkative, I had to get rid of some accumulated rambling.

EDIT: Consider that to be Verlyn's attempt to diplomatize Dion.

Lycar

[NobleSavage]

Still about, guys, thought I'd let y'all know. Thought dinner was starting soon, for some reason, so Reyhan has been a little quiet. Picking my brother up from the airport now, but I'll try and work up something interesting for him to do/have been doing.

[Ozzy_G]

Dinner will be after these guys have finished talking.

[knewsom]

knowledge Arcana(?) to see if I know anything about this: (1d20+11)[17]

[knewsom]

ooh! or maybe a "Knowledge: local" (1d20+7)[21]

[Lycar]

Let us just hope that Dion realizes that Verlyn is much less likely to 'put in a good word for her', if he gets served pee soup instead of pea soup and finds out who's responsible.

Just saying.

Lycar

[Toliudar]

Hasn't even occurred to her yet.

Sorry to hold things up, guys, but this is primo information for Dion.

[Ozzy_G]

Are those knowledge checks about Calamesh and Orin Stillwater then, Knewsom?

[knewsom]

Calamesh, Orin Stillwater, the Godstone Obelisk, the Island, etc.

[Ozzy_G]

Okay, nothing really from Knowledge Local, but for Knowledge (Arcana):

You've heard the story about Calamesh suddenly appearing over this island and causing all this devastation, but never about people being there. From what Verlyn is saying, it sounds like he might have been inside a Godstone Obelisk, the devices the Illithids and the Kael Vorn used to trap Gods in. Perhaps he was accidentally released when they tried to drain his power.
It is possible to drain the power out of Gods in Godstone Obelisk, with a difficult ritual mostly used by the Elven rulers of Zervok.

Is everyone ready for dinner, or is there anything else you want to do/say first?
