Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Verlyn is ready for dinner.
I suppose we are going to meet the other oathsworn at the galley too?
Just in case, a pre-emptive Know.Nobilityer.. Local or History roll: (1d20+3)[9]
Both have the same +3 mod and I just realized that Verlyn doesn't have Know: Nobility.
Oh well, skill points are always scarce and Know. Nobility wasn't a class skill.

Yep. Ready to chow down.
If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Just to note:
Mokai Kings don't live in mud huts. They have stone fortresses, not as big as medieval castles, but that sort of thing. Unlike Davethran nobles, whose palaces are built for pleasure (it's not like another sorcerer's going to besiege them when he can just have demons teleport inside), Mokai fortresses are more about defence, especially due to the warfare between the different Kings.
Mokai are not savages, they live in thatched wooden houses normally.
This guy's just being rude and racist.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Gah! Why is the board's performance so abysmal! Wasn't the thread purge supposed to improve the situation?
So I take it Verlyn doesn't really know these Houses then? Except he can figure that they are close to the House of Zere maybe.
If Sumner was around, he sure could tell us a few things about these people.
Oh and just to try Verlyn's 10% chance to get a hunch about that sourly Oathsworn woman... Sense Motive: (1d20+1)[13]

Verlyn just never listened in those boring lessons about the different noble houses, did he?

You don't think he's lying per se, but you suspect he's exaggerating a lot of things.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
I suppose Verlyn had a better chance to actually know about the Fallen Lotus school if I had given him an actual rank in Martial Lore.
It is great that you actually do care about such little details! But unless Verlyn bothers to actually learn some actual Martial Lore (next level, promise), he'll have to make do with

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Verlyn has heard of the school.
In Zardis there are several warrior academies, which tend to focus slightly more on one of either leading troops or bodyguarding. Fallen Lotus is one of those which trains bodyguards rather than being an officer. It focuses a lot on teaching students absolute loyalty to their charge, no matter who they are.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Do Mokai pretty much share the opinion of everyone else on Darven?
If there's nothing out there, then what was that noise?

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
The Mokai aren't quite as snooty about it than the Davethrans.
See, the Davethrans conquered all the "savages" and "civilised" them.
As victims of this "civilisation" the Mokai are not too keen on telling other people they're savages (just that they worship heathen gods).
The Mokai also border Dar Ven, so when they talk about how the Dar Ven are cannibal barbarians who live in mud huts, they're more likely to be right, whereas the Davethrans believe a lot of things about Dar Ven which aren't actually true.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
True. From the map, I see Zardis is a little ways from the Darven lands.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Don't you mean Mokai lands?
Zardis is right in the middle of Old Davethra, on the west of the area.
Mokai lands are in the south, with all the forest.
The mountains of Dar Ven are in the south-east.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Hola everyone, I post today with both good news and bad news.
The bad news is, I lost my job.
...the good news is, I lost my job and I'm on unemployment!!!! woo-hoo!
So, I should be back to regular posting now (the little one still naps twice a day!), sorry about the weird interruptions. One caveat, however, is that I'll be out of town this weekend, and I don't know what the web situation is where I'm headed. I imagine there will be wifi at the hotel, but it's in the middle of the freakin' desert (And no, I'm not talking about Vegas), so who knows?Draven 'God-Slayer' Kheldravan - Dragon Shaman, healer, tank.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
I do too, but prospects are slimmer when my requirements include adequate downtime for DnD.
It's fine though, bursts of work are the norm in my industry. I'm going to use this time between gigs to do some more writing and work on my own campaign setting as well. I might even produce a pilot episode for a TV show I'm pitching. Time off is good, as long as I can still pay my bills. (which I will be able to, unless my government runs out of money, sadly, a very real possibility at this point. Even sadder considering the huge sums of money I've paid them!)Draven 'God-Slayer' Kheldravan - Dragon Shaman, healer, tank. "Balls-Driven Brute", officially retired.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
To jump on the bandwagon, sorry to hear about the job, but happy that their loss is our gain. I'm sure that such a talented man as yourself will be snapped up again in no time.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Aw man Knewsom, that's tough!
Makes one realize just how much one should treasure one's own job security.
Best of luck to you! As nice it's to hear that you now have some time for some quality gaming, real life always comes first.
But hey, as far as I know, your chances of getting a new job are much better then they would be over here. So yeah, best of luck to you!

Here's a Sense Motive (1d20+11)[31] to see what Ruka is implying, if anything, with the stare.
I, as well, mourn and rejoice along with you, Knewsome. Hope a relaxed job finds you soon.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
Reyhan thinks she was trying to warn him not to speak about this subject.
And since you rolled so well... you think she doesn't want to talk about the vision quest, because what she saw worried her, and she doesn't fully understand it. You also think she's trying to seem more impressive, more bloodthirsty, more exotic than she actually is.
Oh, and she watches Kreznaz out of the corner of her eye sometimes, you think she's trying deliberatly to provoke him.Last edited by Ozzy_G; 2009-02-13 at 08:22 PM.

Re: Age of Ruin OOC: Tempting Fate
I'm also going to roll a sense motive on this one, to see if I'm picking up on any of that.
