Got some news. Between the 21st and 23rd of November, the latter being black friday, I will be utterly gone for the duration until sometime on Friday afternoon, as I work in retail.

Aaand...that's one of the game I ignored during my lack of laptop access, so...sorry. Since I didn't make the listen check, I guess Jadwyg will keep being an ass IC. Sorry, people.

Only because you happen to be near. He's perfectly capable of being an ass to the whole of the party.

I'm hoping this perception check and this stealth check: (1d20+15)[24] will get me back into the main thread, shortly.

I like how this is pretty much a sitcon between Arhranara and Jadvyg, but seriously guys. Quoth the wise Player's Handbook 3.5, "What do you do?"

PS: Straws dear, short answer: you are awesome. LOVED Jad, the character is steadily growing on me.

Yeah, like a fungus... Seriously? Jad is just an arrogant swellhead that thinks he's Llolth's gift to mankind sapient-kind, while being actually completely out of his depth. I don't expect ANYONE to like him.

Thanks for the "awesome", though.

Straws, a character's worth doesn't lie on his fictional charisma or powerful build. It's on how the player uses the resources at hand. In Jad's case he is a prick, true, but just like other lovely ***** before him (House, Edwin, Eldrad, etc) it's this very trait combined with his punch that makes him interesting. Takes a lot of effort or talent (even both) to make such characters without sounding whinny or bitchy.

Thus, TL,DR: You are awesome.

You might not be the one drawing it, but since you look like a huge fan you might just as well had made it into what it is now. I mean, that **** is so random it can make Darth Vader giggle like a little girl.

Slightly confused - did you mean 'Chattuk and Jack' and not Malachi? Malachi is still chatting, Jack's the one who went to investigate.

I'm assuming it's just a mixup of names, but if you actually did mean Malachi I will go edit away my new post.

Ah, I read that wrong also.

Anyway, I can probably invoke carrion sense (Alternate Racial Trait) to track the embloodied being by scent.

Okay, one more thing I'm waiting on clarity on, heh. ^_^ Is Chattuk still there?

Or well, did he in fact wait for Jack to go get Malachi, or did he immediately take off after the scent?

I was waiting for the word of DM before editing my post, but I guess I could go ahead and do it anyway.

EDIT: 'kay, fix'd.

EDIT2: Theory: We haven't seen Plum the Ninja in a good while. Some mysterious force had undetectedly entered and forcefully left the kitchen, presumably with the cook. Related? Jus' sayin'...

Oh wait, I guess I never really answered your post. Let's just say he's outside waiting for you to get back. He's like the Doctor, he keeps people around so that they can be impressed at him.

Plum's not being *overtly* loud, but her tabling is probably going to cause a bit of a ruckus...

Also, sorry in advance for the joke I made; couldn't resist.

Bah, oh well. Presume they occur simultaneously, then. :P

Perception to hear Plum: (1d20-1)[17]

I'm assuming the DC is no more than 5?

Edit: Well, I have a hard time believing it's higher than 17, so I'll proceed.

Sorry the late erryone. Boonequest was on tonight. Lost most of my free-time monitoring that thing.

Yep...

Seriously guys, somebody come interacting with those two before they kill each other. Nanoblack, it MAY be a good idea to just get the torches and pitchforks out.

Plum DID run across a table or two in my last post and for funsies I mentioned that the last one she ran across had an arguing couple at it...

I wanted to let you guys know that I'm heading to my Grandma's right after I finish writing the messages telling everyone I'm heading to my Grandma's. I'll have Internet while I'm there, but I'll be busy cooking, drinking, and eating, and just being with my family, so posting will be sparse until Sunday.

Happy Thanksgiving, those of you in the USA.

Are any of those who are following Chattuk carrying a light source?

@ Strawberries & Baveboi: If you don't want to run after the halfling that just dashed across your table, I'll find something to occupy your time one we find out who is going where.
