The Colonization of Terenuri (OOC) - Part 2

[Meltheim]

It's not back yet, but let's go with this for now:

Acidic Fire - level 5

Power (Consumable • Acid, Fire): Standard Action. Make
an attack: Area burst 1 within 10; +8 vs. Reflex; 1d6 fire
damage, and ongoing 2 acid damage (save ends).

[Tegu8788]

A proper use of schadenfreude, I'm impressed. And I'll take you up on that offer, work got crazy busy for no apparent reason, and I got swept away.

Those bombs look nice. I would recommend that those of us without ranged powers get them, Roman already has plenty of ranged options, and something for the rest of us to use before we get into melee would be nice.

[Meltheim]

I'm basing the 'acidic fire' on the fact that Roman previously scooped up some acid and that this is a mixture of the mushrooms and the acid.

And wow - that sounds like a bad straight-to-dvd college movie instead of a dungeon crawl

[Tegu8788]

I can see those two being very similar...

[Dimers]

About to post IC. I'm working off the assumption that the hulking figure is speaking to us in some dialect of Elvish.

[Meltheim]

In the whole "common is elvish" sort of situation, yeah.

edit: I'm using this as a placeholder until I can draw something better. Heromachine to the rescue!

[Hircine]

Sorry for the holdup it was my birthday yesterday and I wasn't able to find time to post. I'll get on up ASAP.

[Meltheim]

Hey Hircine - Happy Birthday!

How would you describe Lo-Kag's look? I mean, I have eyes/skin/beard figured out, but I don't know about the color of your robes or anything. I was thinking dark grey, if that works, but maybe with some sky blue accents?

[Shular]

Will try to get something posted tonight (London time), but in the meanwhile, assume Throk is watching warily while the others talk.

[Tegu8788]

Happy birthday, and don't worry about being busy. We've all had life get in the way.

And Shular, unless you say otherwise, I always assume Throk is standing warily watching everyone else blather.

I have always assumed this as well, but I have now added "counting out how many links on his chain it would take to kill someone" to the mix

[Meltheim]

First run at Lo-Kag's design. Hircine - let me know what I should add/change/etc (and keep in mind that the character will be less than 1" x 1" on the combat map)

[Hircine]

Would it be possible to give him a pair of sandals and make his beard longer?

[Meltheim]

Not only possible, but very easy!

How about this?

That's perfect.

[Dimers]

OOC note for Roman: deliberately stepping back to let Hal talk with the big guy. That's who he addressed, and anyway, Tegu likes writing that kind of thing. I don't mind it myself, but if someone else gets more enjoyment out of it ... Anyway, I've got the time to post these days, but that doesn't mean I should fill up everyone's bandwidth with Roman.

[Tegu8788]

Hal's got the charisma to pull it off, and I'm trying to make his ambassador title mean something. However, I can pull out some epic fails with a roller, so Hal will rely on those with the big brains to cover him when he screws up. He's not the guy with the plan, he's just the guy that explains it to others.

Hircine - are those with or without the bonuses we talked about earlier?

Without the bonuses.

[Dimers]

I opened the map to see whether Meltheim had somehow depicted the change in lighting, and my first thought was "Holy crap! We're being attacked by an owlbear!"

[Meltheim]

@ Dimers - hahahahahah!

@ Hircine

Spoiler

You have heard this noise before. In fact, something like it woke you from your mediatation just minutes earlier. This is the scream of a gnome being tortured. Your experience in the upper level of Traps lets you believe that the gnome is only about 200 feet away from you, in a chamber that you thought was unused. It is definitely not coming from the room with the 4 unconscious gnomes, however.

The dimming lights also are also familiar to you - this occurs whenever one of the shadar-kai slip from the Shadowfell into the natural world.

[Hircine]

Just a heads up but I may lose power when Hurricane Sandy hits. So if I'm unable to post for a few days you'll know why.

[Meltheim]

Take care all of you in the area of Sandy. I'm implementing Emergency Preparedness Plans for 8 of my company's facilities in the NY/NJ/PA/CT.

I will probably be a bit busy today, but I will try to get an IC post in later.

I just wanted to pop in here to let you know that the noise is coming from further down that hallway you all had just begun to explore, and that Lo-Kag is leading you in that direction, NOT back to the room where the 4 gnomes were placed. You can still investigate that room, but Lo-Kag is not running in that direction

[Tegu8788]

I figure we are all chasing him, but it's hard to tell which way we actually running.

And be safe people, that's the important thing.

Natural 1s are funny.

I snorted so hard trying to stifle a laugh when I saw that roll that my wife woke up, punched me, and went back to sleep.

[Meltheim]

Ack, thanks for the prompt Shular. I'll get something going today.

Can everyone make sure their stats are current on the battle map?

[Dimers]

Roman's stats are fine. Throk would have healed some, even without use of surges -- if he was supposed to have regen only while bloodied, he'd be at 24 before surges, and he'd be full-up if there's no limitation.
