Under the School OOC thread

[shugyosha]

I'm not sure if characters should refer to Ceraphina as a cleric. Yes, she is a cleric but that is a bit of meta-gaming to refer to her as one. She is a librarian, a failed wizard, maybe even calling her a medic might be alright, but I don't think cleric, priest, or anything religious is the right monicker.

[Marker Mage]

Other characters probably wouldn't think of my character as a rogue, but more as a scholar and failed wizard.

Oh, and I finally got myself a character portrait.

[Sampi]

Okay, in you are.

I'll be reliant on my phone again until Sunday, so don't expect long posts. I'll try to keep in touch.

[AugustusGloop]

I will be traveling tomorrow through Sunday and will keep up to date via my phone but won't be able to post.

[Prince Zahn]

I won't be able to keep track Of the Forums today, IRL likes to be ever so cruel...
Well, sorry about that, anyway.

[Sampi]

Note to players: I've sent Grytorm a PM about his exploration, and we'll see what he finds.

[Prince Zahn]

And...that should kill Gurlin time as they wait for Chaff to return.
We can carry on once he gets back, right?
Anyway, removing 3 rods off Gurlin's sheet.

[Man on Fire]

Guys, do we have rations? Or a way to measure time?

[Sampi]

You should have rations, but I don't think anyone thought about measuring time.

[shugyosha]

I hope when everyone went to get their equipment they also got a day or two of rations. Ceraphina has 16 days worth of rations.

[Sampi]

If you didn't remember to get rations, I'll allow anyone to retroactively take 4 days worth. It's just that basic.

[AugustusGloop]

Plus, nervous Judit went a little overboard, so he'll happily share.

[freebiewitz]

How much would raw food ingredients cost?
Carrots, vegetables, spices in general etc.
I'm hoping for a bundle like the portable kitchen.

[Prince Zahn]

Freebiewitz:I don't remember reading anything about specific food, but a few spices are mentioned here. Hope it helps make a general guideline.

[Sampi]

Some things I've neglected:

Freebiewitz: assume basic spices with your kitchen. Rations may be used as cooking ingredients, they're mostly dry stuff.

Stinky's Bardic lore check calls to mind stories about dangerous and devouring purple worms and ankhegs.

When hiding the rods, use a Hide check modified by INT, not DEX. No racial or size mods apply.

If it's not apparent by now, you will not get a map from me. If you want a map, you'll need to draw one yourselves.

I'm assuming you'll follow Chappe. So when he says you'll go somewhere, I move everyone. Make sure to say if you don't want to follow.

Edit: I've been in touch with Needle, and Lyta is with you. Just don't assume any post very soon. She's just following at this time. If needed, she'll follow Chappe's orders.

[Man on Fire]

Stinky will now spend a lot of time being very afraind of purple worms

[Prince Zahn]

Sampi, is the hide check you mentioned rolled separately for each rod, or do I have to roll a hide check whenever actively burying rods?
Effective rod hiding seems impossible for Gurlin with the former, but still generally fair as it can be pointed out by the rest of the group the it's sloppy work.
Fair or not fair, I anyway need to know how many hide check(s) to roll.

[shugyosha]

can you just take 10 for each rod?

[Sampi]

You may use the best modifier in the group, and you can even aid one another. Taking ten is also ok.

[Prince Zahn]

I think I'll be taking 10 on two of them(left and right) and roll for the middle one to minimize odds, I'll be using Chaff's modifer(5=4ranks+1INT), but I'll do this tomorrow, it'll give a chance to get aid another and do it all on a fresher mindset as I naturally restore the daily WIS damage from a hard day.

[Prince Zahn]

Since we're moving on to the next scene I'll roll the Hide check:

Spoiler

Middle rod:
(1d20+5)[17]

EDIT:seems nice, is it enough for the 3?
FURTHER EDIT: forget I said anything, We'll find out when te time is right, I guess.
Also, I'm having an unstable net, Will post further with Gurlin once the Internet(and the site, according to thr news update) would both run smoothly having only one of those good will not cut it.

[Sampi]

So Chappe and Niko are next to the creature, with Stinky and Lyta behind them, right?

Roll initiative and declare actions, please.

[Prince Zahn]

Initiative - Gurlin:

Spoiler

(1d20+1)[5]

Will post more when Internet is more reliable, or if my turn comes up, whichever comes first, I have other internet places, so I'll try to manage.

[shugyosha]

Oh, yes creature identification

Knowledge Nature
(1d20+6)[13]
Knowledge Dungeoneering
(1d20+4)[24]

[AugustusGloop]

I apologize. Work is insane, and I won't get to post today. DM, please control me until tomorrow. Thank you!

[Prince Zahn]

So... Will the combat initiative be standing in for the regular post frequency(as in, we'd all have to wait for X on his turn)?
If not, how is Initiative going to work here?
I'm asking since I'm generally used to the minute-long time out where everyone rolls D20's, and the GM writes them on the edge of the whiteboard. And since that's not really an option on Forums, it makes me feel I should have asked this sooner...

Compiled Initiative In Descending Order:
(COMPLETED - for now)

1. Stinky (16)
2. Chappe (16)
3. Judit (14)
4. Niko (13)
5. Lyta (10)
6. Chaff (7)
7. Gurlin (5)
8. Ceraphina (4)

[Sampi]

We keep this initiative order unless someone delays - in that case they'll move to the count they delayded to. Lyta is at count 10.

I'll post the first round resolutions asap.

[freebiewitz]

Gonna be posting a bit more sporadically then usual (which was already sporadic) since I'm over seas on holidays wi-fi hoping.
I should be able to post at the very latest three to five times a week so it isn't too bad.

[Man on Fire]

Can we write outside order? I may not be able to write when my turn comes.

Since Everyone had a turn and a new round has already begun, You're up according to the order.

Frankly, I think it would be much easier and orderly to post in order, it makes things easier and would prevent situations like turn confusion. Long story short it should pay off to wait for each other to perform their action IMHO.
