Smashy returns to the Cockpit and offers a chunk of cooked human meat to M'ber and Thingy, before eating one himself. "So where this ship go?""My thoughts exactly. One moment." M'Ber takes the meat.
((Uh... Selina and Delphinium left the room before ll the mass drama happened...))Oh?
Noted. I wonder why it isn't in the little line of smileys on the posting page.Quote from: GreatWyrmGoldI don't think you'll have a chance to do that. Piasa should be
able to restrain you for the next five or ten minutes, and after
that...
(Bay12 really needs an evil grin smiley.)
Realistically i should be free within a minute or two because with each "push" another couple of inches of my body should phase into the floor enhancing my ability to pull even mor of myself in.
And bay12 already has one
Even 40 things hitting you with a minimum of one damage a hit is usually fatalThank the kobold for the DR 1/magic.
I'm looking at this from an IC perspective. One of the people riding along with us has apparently jumped off and ran into the jungle without a word to anyone. We can either stop and put everyone at risk for one person, or keep going and get on with the job we were hired to do.Note to self: Never go canoeing with your character.
What I mean is, a canoe is a democracy-I own a pair of paddles and I vote we keep rowing.
If Orgarr wants to stop and catch up with us later to pick you up, that's fine. I'm sure nothing bad will happen to you...
"Hey Steffan, this reminds of that summer in Mariliath! Remember? That one time? With the spitting imps? You tried to talk to them too, remember what happened?"You got chopped into little pieces due to fighting an enemy for parties more than 10 levels higher than you?
Nuriel's gaze is mostly on Selina, waiting for her to do something, but every several seconds she glances at the water.Selina is there, blushing nervously, not sure what to do. Did they lie on the sand for a bit, go swimming right away? She was so nervous! (2400)((Night))They go to the beach.
Selina rushes to her room and gets dressed in a very conservative bathing suit before following Nuriel... Also of note, her hair grew back fully after the mass heal from DR!
Convinced that the forcefields would fail due to the manton effect after digging a short way into his body Steven redoubles his efforts to sink into the floor and begins reforming his body inside it.It's not entering your body, it's fragmenting your body as you force it onto it. Basically, the force field is a bit of repulsive force along a plane; you are managing to apply more force to the bits of body than the strength of the things holding those bits of your body onto you can have.
What you're saying is the forcefield will stop existing because your body used to be there. "Used" being the key word here. It isn't there anymore.))Another way to look at it.
Define "core," but I'm guessing the answer will be "Not as far as Steven knows. Not that he wants to test it."((Depending on where your core is, you could simply veer a bit so that the forcefield doesn't destroy it.Im not sure if my character even has a core... ill have to get GWG to pm me about that.
What you're saying is the forcefield will stop existing because your body used to be there. "Used" being the key word here. It isn't there anymore.))
He struck copper and is attempting to use nuclear warheads to mine it, to continue the 'dig yourself a hole' terminology.Yup. More or less.
Your terminology gave me a bone and im running with it, although id say that im still within the realm of C-4 at the moment.I don't think you'll have a chance to do that. Piasa should be able to restrain you for the next five or ten minutes, and after that...
The nukes would come out when i crack the shits at GWG for constantly restraining my character and begin tearing holes in the buildings structural supports so that they cant lock me up anymore.
Sometimes, it's the little things—used well—that count.The things didn't even scratch us in the first attack. How dangerous can a quick scouting be?How dangerous indeed...
))I'm just assuming that I'm basically on my own little mini campaign at the moment, cause I really can't see myself working with any other PC.Heh. My original idea involved letting everyone do their own thing, like if the PCs were (say) Skitter, Tattletale, Panacea, Chariot, Miss Militia, and Stormtiger.
Ignoring the non-existant pain steven forces himself deeper into the floor allowing the forcefields to cut into his body as he does so.[12] He begins to force himself downwards a little, the force fields cutting into his crotch.
"R-r-r-r-rest..." Selina is trying to calm down, literally shaking in fear... then realizes she could have also ended up like Humerus, prisoner conditioned to forever serve her convaluted master... She curled up into a ball in terror."You okay, Selina?"
Emotions: 1/1 Terror
((Sorry about inactivity on this thread, kinda hard to stay interested atm, shoulda just had Matt become a Hero off the bat))((He'll have an opportunity for heroics soon enough.))
Matthew Goes for a walk
((Victoria, due to being overloaded with blushing and embarassment is under the impression that well, the chains are related to:))((I'm sure. I was making a joke that I'm ~60% sure Cado, Xantalos, and a few others got.))"*sigh* Here." She throws a book about Bondage to Victoria.
((...I think I have that used right but I don't even want to think about it.))"Oh..." Victoria finally realizes what Not!Selina wanted her to do and what she was talking about. ⚁ "...Is that why people formed trade unions?"
"Y-y-yes... er... a-a little w-weired out th-though..." Selina slowly gets out of the chains.The chains are retracted.
*kick*One of Alan's fists strikes Darnos before retracting.
Isaac reads his book.((Nicely done, given all the madness happening right in front of him, since I clearly stated Angel lead Alan to Isaac.))
"That's probably not too healthy to call that the usual... Meanwhile, I feel like I'm slowly turning more insane, but maybe that's just my mind fucking with me."Angel goes over to Isaac and gives him a hug to try and comfort him.
"Eh. If it gets any worse, sure. Then again, it might just be a self check up and me seeing that my personality has changed since I've came here."With Angel's help, he escapes Alan's grasp. The chains again return to his arms.
Isaac stands up.
"Although, I should get some sleep. I've had a lack of it since we've went to the Labyrinth..."
Isaac says his farewells and goes to his room to sleep
((And now I go to sleep as well.))
((Night))They go to the beach.

-snip-It can, but it wouldn't be efficient. Especially since the rods are kinda stationary.
Considering that a cannon-ball has more force...I'm fairly certain we can wreck a ship, or at least cripple it, pretty damned easy. Over and over again, too.
On items one and three: At the very start, the actually facilities of the town (Farmland, Workshops, a Dock, Beds, A Kitchen ect) will be nice to have, even if we don't get totally loyal citizens to come with them. So long as we keep enough order to ensure our saftye while we are around I'm fine. Later on, when we are ready to develop the place, we can come up with more drastic measures to contain or replace the locals.You intend to sleep and stuff in a town where people hate us because we keep invading their inn and taking their food?
On item 2: NPC crew hirelings are rather expendable. Tensions between any crew left behind and the locals will keep our crew too busy to plot against us I would hope. If they end up getting killed it is no huge loss. Ideally we can also interview the crew ICly to find the right folk to leave behind.Note the "sufficiently powerful and loyal" clause. Weak hirelings won't have much willingness or ability to protect the town for us.
Hrrmm... Regarding your expert, how effective would a dude with points in Profession Surgeon, but none in Heal or UMD, be at keeping us all alive?Less than an actual healer.
It's also what makes Warlocks more broken at level 12 than Wizards are at level 20. UMD check to pretend to have the spells to craft anything(DC 15+spell for arcane, 25+spell level dor divine). They can take ten. Oh, yeah, and UMD boosting magic items. So, yeah. +15 from skill ranks alone means you can get epic level arcane spells from the get-go on scrolls. Another +4 or +5 easily from Charisma, maybe a few more minor bonuses from Skill Focus (Use Magic Device) or synergy, etc., and most divine spells are easy. Now you have the Chalice of Aura Impersonation, which gives a +10 to UMD checks. And is completely made up, but nonetheless. So now you get to cast 20th+ level arcane spells and 15th+ divine spells, from scrolls. Or hell, sell 'em. Huge profit in making god-level power fit on a tiny parchment.You can't just make up magic items. And I'm 90% certain that UMD clearly states magic items don't help.
"Dishonorable CURS! The bow is a coward's weapon!"If by "coward" she means "tactician," yes.
Kalnaf let's his draconic lineage creep into his voice. "Stand fast! Their blows sting less than they appear!" (Swift Action: Activate Toughness aura; allies within 60 feet gain DR 1/magic.)Amusingly, that makes it sound like he's convincing them that the arrows don't hurt. How would he deal with a troll ripping on of their arms off?
Leaving aside the fact that they could well have composite bows, and the fact that there are an unknown number in ambush, do we really want to be beginning hostilities with a group we're going to have to pass every time we move up or down the river? Plus the fact that someone had the power to awaken them in the first place?Well, a few points.
Tucker's Kobolds spring to mind...
Think there might be some money involved in slaughtering them?No, there wouldn't be.
You could if you tried hard enough.I could probably try. I'm not even sure I could drown in it.I feel I should point it out; didn't some of you have a task to bring back curious examples of wildlife?
Well I think that's just a kind of ongoing thing if we happen to stumble across any. I'm not going to volunteer to leap out the boat and wade across twenty feet of piranha filled brown river to wrestle a tiny monkey who wants to shoot me.
(( That's the weight of the shell, not the size of the nuke. I think. The standard shells are non-nuclear, I know that much, so I assume that is the weight of the shell, which would be... no, way higher than that... how dense is this shell XD? Pretty sure the yield of the nuclear ammo hasn't been specified yet. Perhaps PW means for that to be the yield of the nuclear ammo? Because dear lords is that ludicrously heavy otherwise.))((Um, when the choices are "This is the nuclear yield of the shell" and "The shells weigh more than two blue whales, each," it's probably the yield. For reference, Tsar effing Bomba weighed barely over a tenth of that.))
"Shh, you'll jinx it. I intend for us all to live through this mission. Jim, don't start talking about how you've got a girl back home waiting for you, I'm not dragging your carcass back if you get killed. At least none of us are on their last mission before retiring..."((Don't even think of Feyri. To be on the safe side, don't think of Grate or how he looks up to both of you like ad hoc vaguely parental figures.))
(I blame GWG for this... I wasnt trying to make a DeadPool style character but he MADE ME!! Oh the reference he said soo made me do it..... Mmmnnnn reference ......)(Wait, what did I do?)
