Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Wait... What about Lexi?
OMG MILES KILLED LEXI AND IS NOW GOING AROUND REMOVING AS MUCH EVIDENCE AS POSSIBLE!!!!
Or, Lexi's hiding and Miles is using his scrolls of teleport to run around and tell everyone he's worked with, "Stop now."
First theory: Removing all evidence, the most efficient way to do that is killing. Think disintigrate followed by gust of wind. Second theory: more likely.
Dang.I'm mostly here for Warframe and a tiny bit of RWBY.

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Ya know, he would probably get better results if he, say, took two minutes to explain why he's making that request (Sigh is purely directed at Miles, not Coffee -- it's completely in character for him.)
Knowledge is power.

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Exactly. Especially if the person isn't smart enough to get it unless he spells it out for them. Lexi isn't the sharpest tool in the shed either, but he's intelligent enough and knows Miles well enough to understand that if he tells you to stop doing something, it would be a good idea to listen to him.
Also, do other countries have something like a shack selling souvenirs on a road in the middle of nowhere that's also next to unusual geographic features or the world's largest ball of twine or whatever?My webcomic!

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Lyra's good, she's protective of her half-brother and doing pretty good until Lexi decided to scream in horror of faked Llyod's death instead of holding his emotion. I wonder if Half Hobgoblin has low stat in intelligence, just like Half orcs (starts off with 9 or something dumber).

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Ahh. I have a cousin who lives up there. If I recall correctly the golden state bridge still charges a toll going across it, but only 1 way and I think its leaving the city. I'm not entirely sure I'm remembering it right as its been a number of years since I last visited him. Anyways, have fun!

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
...Huh. I just realized that a 30-point-buy will get you a character with 13 in every stat. Such a character would not be particularly useful, however.
Also, Lyra strikes me as the kind of person who has literally had to struggle their whole life to make due with what they've got. I mean, a souvenir shack in the middle of nowhere's probably not making her that much money, certainly not enough to move and set up shop at a more profitable station. Now that she's gotten this job smuggling Plavaans across the border, she's making enough money to easily make ends meet while simultaneously dedicating her existence to something besides just scraping by. I can understand why she wouldn't want to give either of those up. However, I think she might be smart enough to at least consider making a break for it.
Miles appears to be in a hurry. Considering how verbose he usually is, a complete lack of any form of explanation seems a little odd. His sleep-deprivation probably contributes, though.
The Alagaesian Analyzer strikes again!
Also, it appears that Lyra has succeeded on a Slight of Hand check against the readers. Am I the only one who noticed her casually pulling a dagger on Miles?

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
PCs are idiot-savants. When it comes to solving mysteries and simple stuff like remembering names, they're idiots. But when it comes to screwing up your plans they're ****ing geniuses.

Re: Murphy's Law 8: College? What About It?
Of course the PCs would refuse to do anything you'd expect them to do. The DMs have specifically charted out a path that is challenging enough to be "fun". Taking the intended path also means that they will get a certain amount of loot/XP that is barely enough to keep them from TPKing on the "fun" encounters. Hence, players are trained from the start to avoid doing what the DM wants/expects them to do.
Of course, in PbP games, the DM is given enough time to make stuff up as they go along, thoroughly fleshing out and planning the game as the PCs are playing. This means that the players can literally do anything within their vast realm of possibilities and the DM will still be able to set up level-appropriate encounters and rewards. This can often make the PCs extremely paranoid.
"There's no way the DM would write this detailed of a description for an area of town we decided to go to on a whim. This means she intended us to go here eventually! Quick, check for traps and use Spot checks before she tries to nail us with the ambush she probably set up."
