Explorers of Acacia - OOC thread, the Second

[razorback]

qwertyu63, is that '+' on the map a door?
If so, here is Algrith's listen check of awesome proportions
(1d20-7)[8](1)

And, yes, that is a -7.

+ signs are infact doors. You hear nothing.

I'm sure I'd already posted this, but I didn't see any responses and now I can't find my post.

Basically, I've realised I'm not reading these threads anymore because nothing really seems to happen. I'm out.

Ya I do admit that the pace has slowed down slightly since Tarkimos and their group engaged their enemies. I am still in for a bit though.

Funny. Only if we split that sourdough 50/50.

Nooo! Maybe you guys could just have been moving towards the inn this whole time and show up now?

Fine. Actually, IRL, a bakery just opened up 3 blocks from my house and their sourdough is pretty great, so I'm going to back out of the deal. <nom-nom-nom>

You going to roll initiative?

Nah, if you like sourdough youre plenty intelligent to run Imaran. Plus, this may be like the only couple days I can get on this whole month

[INoKnowNames]

So, apparently, I'm the "every joke becomes slightly funnier, and everything suddenly tastes Pinkish" type of drinker.

Huh.

Have I missed anything? You know, beyond rolling initiative? Which I should totally do. Then again, aren't we missing the initiatives for the other couple of people with us? Or did I just derp and forget where, if at all, they went to?

Since Algrith lightly played us moving with him, I don't think I need to post yet, what with my sucky initiative of (1d20-1)[12].

Yeah... I may not be able to be seen in the same game with you... you know, sorry about that.

Well, I'm ready and I think I'm reading Demidos as saying

"Kill me, please!", I'll roll his initiative

(1d20+1)[1](2)

Jesus Christ, man, they're just dogs! How bad could they be?

I guess our half of the combat can begin once qwerty gets back, rolls initiative for the rest of the npcs, and we stack them all up. How do you two fight, by the way? I don't think I saw either of you in battle last time.

What other NPC's? It's you guys vs the guard dogs, unless I'm forgetting someone.

Question: anyone have any effects for detecting magic up at the scene with the dogs?

[razorback]

^^Not Algrith. I don't think Imaran does, either.
For reference, Algrith has the following on him at these rounds (if my count is correct)~

Force Shield - 55 rounds
Inertial Armor - 4183 rounds
Expeditious Retreat - 30 rounds

Ooh, ooh, I do!

Oh wait.

Since I'm getting tired of waiting around for Bumbleface or whoever the missing person is, am I allowed to have Zrekha go off and do something?

[3SecondCultist]

Hooray for solo adventures!

I don't see why not, Kel would have done something on his own if it I could justify it.

Yes, go right ahead. No need to ask.

[razorback]

Crap, I just realized that I rolled a 16 for a 22 total.

qwertyu63, how big is the room and how far away are the dogs from Algrith?

You might have already explained what happened to the NPC Criminal. I don't think, however, you explained what happened to Jesskya and Halaza, at least since Psymple's disappearance.

Or I'm just very derpy.

I should have been logging my buffs...

Bumbleface... I have no idea who you're talking about, but that makes me laugh all the same.

I don't think there actually is anyone missing from your half of the group. Correct me if I'm wrong, though.

I prefer more party based action, but that's just me. Love group grind fests...

Other than being the first to get the attention of the dogs, not sure what the issue is. Have fun with that, though.

Whatever floats your boat, INo.

I'm gonna make a Gather Information check and take 10, for 12. Any rumors at the tavern, Qwerty?

Take a wrong turn and end up outside a random unmarked door with the door kicked in?

Sure.

Spoiler

The blacksmith's boy went missing last week. They found his body a day later, but with those gashes on him I wish they hadn't.

There have been some markers moved over at the graveyard.

Vintoon's sister went missing last night. They found her and she's ok, but she's not talking about it.

I didn't say for either, but I do know where they are. Jesskya and Halaza went down the other path. The 2 guys from the first room fled the building.

I was actually referencing the criminal Halaza initially captured, and seemed to have "convinced" to work with her.

If I'm reading the initiative right, it's my turn now, right?

Oh, I forgot about that guy. He's still with her.

I think so. Go ahead.

[3SecondCultist]

To answer your IC question qwerty, Lyral does not have Darkvision or Low Light Vision, but what he does have is a constant Blindsense radius of 30 feet, wherein he can get a general sense of what is moving around him. He also has Blind-Fight as a feat, and can activate Blindsight for a point of Ki.

Dear God, why am I so slow on the uptake recently...

Last set of questions, while I set up my techs; where am I currently on that chart, so I know if I can move and attack or what, and can I move through allies and reach at least the first (untriped dog) with 1 move action?

[razorback]

Its Algrith, barking puppies, Tarmikos, and Imaran.
The ground in front of Algrith looks like the ghost from Ghostbusters slide around on the ground in front of him. One pup is sprawled out on side slime.
I don't think you need to move around him as he was knocked back 5 feet in the sudden surprise at being barked at, since animals usually like him.

I'm tempted to roll a Will Save for Tarmikos, less he be shaken, frightened, paniced, or cowering at the mere sight of them, what with a fear of animals... though since that's not an official flaw, I'll save such things for the fluff of the post.

Thanks for the map.

Oh Bard Skill Points, I thank you for being awesome, and blessing me with the 5 points of Balance I need to not suck.
