[Halo] Onyx Wind [OOC]

[Erasmas]

There are new posts in the game thread, just so everyone knows!
Things disappear on this board very, very quickly... so I was also posting this as a bump.

[Erik Vale]

A horrid loss....

Erasmus, i'm going to PM you a plot idea when I have a spare moment.

[Erasmas]

Okay... sounds good!

And Spartans must die tragically. It simply wouldn't do for one to die from being hit by a bus or a seriously infected hangnail.

[Erik Vale]

So no dieing in my sleep of old age then?

Damn.....

[Erasmas]

It's possible... just not likely (nor very glorious).
LOL

I actually found a great picture of an older guy today that looks like an aged Spartan. I'll post it up here tomorrow!

EDIT: Sweet, I just photobucket'd from my phone.

[Erik Vale]

Considering they are supposed to go like that from their suits (example: 117), he may not be old.

[Erasmas]

Possibly, possibly.

[Erik Vale]

Fort Roll:
(1d20+8)[27]
I'll post IC when you put up the required roll. However given my rolling, I'm either almost dead, or it was a criticle succes and I am the most awake of all of us, having taken a nap on the way down.

Edit: Ahh, the Dice roller helped me this time. However that means my Fallout rolls will be screwed....
Damn, I'm not sure if I can be happy...

[Vixsor Lumin]

rolling here to so i can make sure i pass before posting.

(1d20+12)[21]

[Erik Vale]

Due to time constraints, i'm posting actions now (in spoiler) on the assumption that the DC was less than 26.

[DoctorFaust]

Posting roll here first, just in case i fail it.

(1d20+9)[29]

[Q'telun]

oh lord, I hate rolling on the forums.
(1d20+12)[24]

[Erasmas]

So far, so good. You four (and Valen) all passed. Tristan came close, probably blacked-out for a split second. But you may post if you are one of these four. However, you are a little spread out... as much as 150 meters or so in some cases.

[Sam Fisher]

(1d20+11)[19]

I have a bad feeling i'm going to crash and burn...

[Erasmas]

Crash - of course... that was the whole idea (albeit a slightly controlled crash, but still)!
However, you did indeed fall unconscious with impact. Those of you with TacPads can see that everyone's shields have taken a hit, but Sammael's are fully depleted and flashing currently.

[Erasmas]

I am also putting Valen here... just in case.

[Erasmas]

Completely unrelated...

I am also starting up a different game, D&D-based. If anyone might be interested, here is the recruitment thread.

/shameless plug

[Vixsor Lumin]

it looks interesting, but only getting one thing beyond core puts too many limits for my liking. I know its to keep cheese out, but its possible to make a character from beyond core without breaking anything, and I like to build characters that are strong (not minmaxed) and thats hard to do with just core.

[Erasmas]

I understand. I don't agree, but I respect your opinion on it enough to not argue the point.

[Erasmas]

Has anyone seen or heard anything from X lately?
He seems to have disappeared...

[Vixsor Lumin]

haha well thanks no i havent heard from him in days :/ i think he got nabbed by cande ja-

[Erik Vale]

Not heard from him.

I don't have access to the core books unfortuneately. However depending on how rule light it is, I can play, if your willing. Warlock Human.

[Erasmas]

Not sure where the warlock is from, but it will be fairly "rules-light" after the initial character creation (which there is an SRD online that you can use for). If you're down... head on over there and give it a post!

[Erik Vale]

Warlock is from something (I think complete) Arcane. I only know DnD really from NWN 1 and 2. I know that there is an SRD by I didn't think it covered everything, so I will take a look....

[Erasmas]

Alright, X also lost consciousness during the drop. I will give him a little while longer to come back around, but if he doesn't... well, we'll cross that bridge if/when we come to it.

[Sam Fisher]

Ok dose someone need to roll healing on me or somthing or can i roll to see if i recover myself?

[Erasmas]

I was kinda waiting for DoctorFaust, to see what he wanted to do (if anything). Since he is the medic and all.

[Sam Fisher]

ye no problem im waiting for the healing roll critical 1 so i die before getting out of the pod haha

[DoctorFaust]

You want me to roll a heal check to see if I can wake him up without anything bad happening?

[Erasmas]

Well, even a critical failure on a Heal check isn't going to kill you.
LOL

I was just going to see what course of action the medic might take, is all. If enough time passes... you will just wake up on your own. But everyone just standing around an unconscious person staring at them is general not enough to rouse them, in my experiences.
