A Thorn In The Hand OOC

[Wordplay]

You're welcome

I think that we'd better go for the silk, but I might pick up a little of that Elven weaved just for the novelty value.

[Arranis Thelmos]

Any objections if I take Daranad?

[Marlowe]

Please do.

[Arranis Thelmos]

Okay, would a candle of truth be worth the investment? How much gold do we have between all of us? Halabur has a little more than five hundred.

[Wordplay]

How much do they usually cost? I'm guessing that they disspell illusions, and act like true-seeing. Raif has about 1200gp, but he's paying for the mundane stuff first. I also need to find out how much this 'elven corded' costs.

First, I'd quite like to get those books. I want to take the language next level, assuming I'm allowed, and I need a way to justify it. (Beyond, killing all those goblins gave me a sudden insight into their grammar!)

Depending on how much the books cost, I guess that Raif could chip in 600-800 for the candle and silversheen, etc, but I'd like to get the books first.

Actually, joking aside, it's probably not a bad idea to pick up some formal clothing for disguises, etc.

Maybe Raif should buy six sets of dresses so we can disguise ourselves as wandering washerwomen.

@Malakai: Raif's not bald! Not even tonsured. I know I didn't give a detailed description of him, but I did describe the colour of his hair. I guess some of the illusion magic must not have worn off yet.

[Malak'ai]

@Wordplay: SORRY! Didn't double check your sheet and was going on (bad) memory. I'll change it in the morning... I should really be asleep right now **curses doctor for not renewing standing perscriptions**

[Wordplay]

No problem. Have a good sleep.

[Arranis Thelmos]

The Silversheen is only 150 gold, easily in my range. I'm not sure we ought to go for the candle anymore anyway. It kinda looks like it may only be able to be used once. Besides, Verossa may be able to get the truth out of anyone with her 'Hammer of Ortificial Truth'.

And YES, we are SO calling it that now!

[Marlowe]

I was going to call it Jemima.

[Arranis Thelmos]

That works too!

[Marlowe]

Seriously, The plan for Verossa is to pimp her for Intimidate...that came out out wrong. To focus on her Intimidate skill, but that'll take a few levels to come together, since Hexblades have lots of cool skills but very few skill points.

One thing she doesn't have is Sense Motive, so she will eventually be able to scare the truth out of people, but she'll need a good cop to tell her when it's time to stop.

[Arranis Thelmos]

I'm focusing on Spellcraft and Knowledge Arcana. I'll be a walking magic dictionary.

Edit: Oh! And I'm travel sized too!

[Malak'ai]

....... All I'm imagining is Verossa carrying Halabur round in a modified Familiar Pocket and using him like a Pokedex for magic items and stuff

[Marlowe]

Captain Underpants-Mon I choose you!

...I never even watched that show.

Also, I'm confusing Digimon and Pokemon. What? I like Black Lagoon and Nanoha.

[Malak'ai]

Oh Oh!! Or a kind of Master/Blaster partnership... Halabur would then actually be able to say he had 'mounted' Verossa .

**Runs and hides before Marlowe throws something at me**

[Marlowe]

Marlowe not get Shonen references. Unless they're Slayers. And making Slayers references while playing D&D is completely redundant.

Speaking of which, is Lord Pointytemper going to be a total Xellos? And who's our Martina?

[Wordplay]

Thanks for the update! Just wondering for my character sheet, how many books does Clearsight get, how much do they weigh, and what's the length and weight on the elven rope?

[Malak'ai]

@Wordplay: The books are 1lb each and he gets 2, one for orcish and one for goblinoid. The Elven rope comes in 20' coils (as per the Arm's and Equipment Guide) and they weigh 5lbs per coil.
Remember, learning a new language cost 2 skill points.

[Wordplay]

@Malak'ai: Thanks! I'll bear the skill point cost in mind. Almost time to leave the camp!

[Marlowe]

Think we'll go with a nice green for Raif's punishment, for that Shamal look:

Spoiler

Show

Not that he's badass enough to pull off Shamal, but hey, he can lie and cheat and deceive. While she thinks a trenchcoat and darkglasses is a good disguise. Indoors. While being a tall blonde in Japan. So let's call it a wash.

[Malak'ai]

@Wordplay: Mounting a horse normally in a non-stressful situation doesn't require a Ride check so you do get up, but you can fluff that it takes you a few tries.

[Marlowe]

He's got Verossa approaching him with a smile and a pretty dress. And Jemima. This is a stressful situation.

[Malak'ai]

Or an exciting one, depending on how you look at it .

[Marlowe]

I'm going to be an godmodding godmoder who godmodes for once and just assume he acquieses. Cause if he doesn't, Verossa was perfectly serious about the alternative, and that would be slightly less funny.

[Wordplay]

If you can manage to get a dress on over plate mail, surely Raif's going to take a DEX penalty?

The alternative really wouldn't bother him much either, but it is much less amusing.

[Marlowe]

Check the dress she chose. It's practically a surcoat.

There's a certain chain of restaurants with a "Swiss/Bavarian" theme in South Korea that force this style on their waitresses, and the result is sad. Because a style that's designed for big central european woman who can handle five steins in one hand completely overwhelms the average Korean teenager, and gives you the impression that they're suffocating under the weight of the ensemble.

EDIT: And seeing as I'm bored. Consider how many times before Verossa might have used the phrase "Fighter, do something".

Or, for that matter, "I'm pretty sure that doesn't go there".

[Arranis Thelmos]

Okay... What would you guys say if I enchanted the gnome and stole his stuff?

Yeah... I'm seriously considering it.

[Marlowe]

You're seriously considering robbing a shopkeeper, with two lawful martials watching?

I don't think a pretty dress is going to cover this. Better see if they have a dominatrix outfit.

[Arranis Thelmos]

... So that's a no then?

I'll hurry and wrap this up. Sorry to keep everyone waiting.

[Marlowe]

Make that a bondage slave outfit.
