Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted March 21, 2011 Share Posted March 21, 2011 Nah, Eva's just getting more practice at summoning cats. (Admit it, though, you wouldn't mock that crazy old cat lady if she had a couple dozen of THOSE things running around) That, and I decided it was about time I changed up my avatar. I've had that dopey catfish as my avatar for a long while now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Arell Iseil, L3) ARELL ISEIL RACE: Dragonborn, Female OCCUPATION: Apprentice Flamekeeper Spiritualist ALIGNMENT: Narcissitic LEVEL 3 ATTRIBUTES: 3/3/6 (+INT) HP: 14 STM: 3/10 SPEED: 5 ARMOR: 1 XP: 01/38 (+10)Magic (Vitaemancy) - 6 (21XP) (+1) Martial (Staves) - 3 (6XP)Composure - 3 (RB+3XP) First Aid - 2 (RB+1XP) Stealth - 2 (3XP)Perception - 2 (3XP) (+2) Anyway, a new spell. Not because I want to make spell selection even harder, but because it became apparent that having a gap in one's spell list can be dangerous. Not yet approved, though. Click to reveal.. (Wrack, Necromantic Combat Spell) WRACK (VL5) EFFECTS: Fires a pulse of necrotic energy at a target, disrupting its life energy and inflicting severe pain. -Attacks a target's Fortitude (STR-def) -Does decent damage. -Particularly strong hits may stun the target for 1 round. Stunning is more likely against low fortitude targets, or if stamina is spent. -This spell can also be fired as an AoE wave against a group of targets (on a 1:1 stamina-to-radius ratio). This does not differentiate friend or foe. DESCRIPTION: Jagged and rough pulse of energy colored dark violet. Anyway, session IV has concluded. Here are some more lessons learned. *On Mote, everything is trying to kill you. Even the shrubbery. *Those who live by the dice will get screwed over by the dice. *Being pretty does have advantages. *Paranoia: Because accepting drinks from strangers isn't conductive to long-term health. *For one of the few islands with an active police force, Ona has a remarkably bad crime problem. *The number of criticals this party gets is directly proportional to how angry its characters are at the time. *Even with just two active members, this party will still find a way to split into three groups. *Katharizo: For when your DM is going for the record of most poisonings in a single campaign.

Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted March 24, 2011 Author Share Posted March 24, 2011 Session Four: Twigs and stones can break your bones Session Four and a half: Dreams that kill you Above are both logs from the main party and the side session that Sarsus had. Turns out that I like to steal ideas from writers and use them without realizing it till to late. Good think all good ideas are stollen. Next session is set for Wednesday, March 30th at 4pm PST. As you can see the party gets to level up. To level up you get 1 point to add to any stat and skill points are 4+(2*level) so that means 10 points for level three. HP = 5+(3*str) Turns out that having the damage the party takes hidden and telling them how they feel from the damage is not a very good way to run HP in this campaign. So at the start of session 5 I will tell everyone their current HP and stamina. From then on damage will be told in numbers to the players as is done in other AIMhack campaigns. Most importantly, a big thank you and well done to Triumphe for playing a NPC very well. I believe that this was the first time that a player actively hunted down and attacked a PC party.

Magnificent Ornk nikki. Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yeah, no. You know that shiver you get sometimes, that horrible chill you get for a split second, for no reason? Well, in England, cheery as we are, we say that somebody is walking over your grave. Usually, the connatation is that something awful has happened somewhere, at least in the Midlands. Other areas of the UK might be different. We also have spinning in graves, too, and I guess that is applicable too, but you do have to be dead for that, yeah.

(3:11:47 PM) thuryl: I thought perhaps you too had had too much bread, and it had given you a cold. (3:11:55 PM) SarachimSeafello: How? (3:12:12 PM) thuryl: Bread viruses. (3:13:19 PM) SarachimSeafello: Is that a thing? (3:13:55 PM) thuryl: It could be. Bread has many natural enemies. (3:14:59 PM) SarachimSeafello: Anyway, no, that is not what happened.

(10:45:53 PM) thuryl: Sorry, I've mostly got the bread thing out of my system now. (10:46:18 PM) SarachimSeafello: Aww. I was just starting to enjoy it. (10:46:20 PM) thuryl: Wouldn't it be awful if I was still talking about bread and thereby making you seek out bread to eat seven months from now? (10:46:31 PM) SarachimSeafello: Why seven months? (10:46:33 PM) thuryl: It'd be The Hunt for Bread, October. (10:47:03 PM) thuryl: I thought for sure you'd get that one. (10:47:09 PM) SarachimSeafello: See, I actually laughed at that one.

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Not to go against the grain here, but I'm starting to wonder if Sarsus is on her way to a sleep-related perk. Seriously, she gets knocked out in session three and sent into deep slumber. Then she spends the majority of session 4 asleep. If she keeps it up, she might become the laziest adventurer ever. Also, Rowen, what are you using to make the log files? The file sizes are ridiculous. Sarsus's log was 390KBs, and one of them was over 500KBs. All with minimal formatting. No RTF file should be that massive. Finally, I'm looking forward to Session 5. How much gold did we get, though? I ask, because that might be something to sort out between sessions, rather than during the session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Well-Actually War Trall Rowen Posted March 25, 2011 Author Share Posted March 25, 2011 I've been editing the sessions in Word and then saving them as RTF's as Diki suggested back at session one (the RTF, not Word). I think that that session 4 was the longest session in the campaign text wise. Took me a while to put it all together. (Secretly I'm out to get your dial up. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Easygoing Eyebeast Triumph Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Session 4 was 6 hours long, or maybe longer, and the file would be even bigger bigger because for a part of the session there was a "second" chat running between the antagonist I played and the main party. And then the two people in the main party split too... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Yes, but Word and OpenOffice have some severe issues when it comes to inflating RTF files well past reasonable sizes. To wit: The downloaded Session 4 Log, as is, is 379KBs. Simply re-saving it in WordPad? Drops the size down to 100KBs, almost a mere quarter of its former size. It's not a big issue, but if we ever have a whopper of a session, you could be looking at a log upward of 1MB in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Understated Ur-Drakon Nioca Posted April 6, 2011 Share Posted April 6, 2011 Session VI has been completed. Here are yet more lessons learned. *Mental intrusions have a detrimental effect on one's disposition and sanity. *Hibernation spells do not count as a normal form of sleep. Furthermore, one should alert one's party members when casting this on yourself to avoid them accidentally thinking you're dead. *Breaking the sound barrier may be hazardous to your health. Attempt in open meadows only. *Unless extreme drunkenness is desired, do not accept drinks from random dwarves. Especially if their last name is 'Phiser'. *Hibernation: Alarmingly effective on party members. Click to reveal.. (These lessons are actually kinda spoilery) *Upon waking, make sure to run through a simple mental check to make sure you're actually awake. *Even if logic dictates otherwise, the person that's been harassing your mind and dreams may in fact be friendly. *Trick Dice: 12 gold. Convincing a logging operation that they're worth 10,000 gold: Priceless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
