And with that comment making Lupaz wonder if Trebuchet might pass the intimidating test and completely flunk the subtlety test, Lupaz leads the warmage into the darker crevices of Bluegorge, looking for someone who might be willing to do business. Lupaz leads the way, telepathically guiding...

I think I've got a bit of a problem here. I only have access to public transportation - the El and the Metra - and I'm not sure how to get from the Loyola stop on the Red Line to Games Plus. The CTA and Metra web sites don't seem to be tremendously helpful. Could someone with more knowledge...

OOC: Woot! The natural 20 I just rolled on Invisible Castle would seem to indicate that I do. Isida, Knowledge (local) to identify arcane suppliers for Nissa (20+11=31). The name I used is "Lupaz", naturally enough. Hopefully that and the information I already have will let Nissa take over...

Nissa's performance elicits a deep, rumbling laugh from Lupaz. Very good! For a moment I was afraid that that love and peace rhetoric was all you could manage. Lupaz gives Nissa a look of something that expresses mixed pride, interest, and wariness before "speaking" again. I have one more...

OOC: Don't forget Gather Information. And it's not like you were hiding from me or even hurrying from place to place. I figure I can cover ground quickly enough to find you *eventually*, it's just a matter of how much time I have left over after my stops at the King and Cat and Raven's Claws...

Oomgy! That's a great idea! I'd plump for one of the chapters being centered around an adventuring party that went there and came back "different," though. Not only is it a ready-made adventure seed, I've always been of the opinion that more products should make mention of the exploits of the...

Assuming nothing but speaking occurs in Lupaz's run-in with Nissa... Lupaz passes quietly through the dwindling crowds of Tin Street, almost unconsciously avoiding attention by taking on the sidelong bearing of one of the countless homeless curs that frequent any sizable city. Moving up to...

I assume I can track down Nissa and report by using dimension door and scent to pick up and follow her trail, even though I don't know precisely where she intends to go. If that's not the case, tell me and I'll alter the following. About an hour and fifteen minutes before dark, as deep...

No problem! I know how it is. :) Let me know if you need any more detailed information for Lupaz, by the way.

This is pretty much my take on the matter. I won't kill a PC unless they're really asking for it, but boy can their adventure and their lives spiral down into the crapper if they persistently screw up. :] I hardly ever fudge rolls to do it, though. It's built into the game - I use Mutants...

Er... Bump? Actually, I'm not sure, do we bump here or in the IC thread? Well anyway, it's been a while since the last few posts went up, or at least it seems that way. :)

As he sees the others dispersing, Lupaz telepathically tells them of his plans to establish a link with the palace via Trebuchet's suggestion. Giving the warforged an appraising glance, he tells him to meet him an hour before dark at Tin Street square before leaving him to his own devices...

Err, you might want to check that again. Forgery can be used untrained (at least according to the Hypertext SRD), probably precisely so that 1 rank doesn't give you nigh-unbeatable forging ability.

Well, I have no problem putting his fortitude to the test if you don't. Once we get into town I'll dig up a reputable black market magician to do the job of contacting him. Until then... Are we going to fast-forward a bit now? I don't know if anyone else wanted to strike up a conversation...

Lupaz's ears perk up at the unexpected offer from the warforged mage. You do? Do you have a way to contact this individual? If not, I will prioritize finding a discrete messenger when we head into town. I had some possibilities of my own in mind, but if you're certain this youngling can be...

This is all true, but to me it doesn't mitigate the fact that the *best* course of action is not to require players to make these kinds of choices. Why not de-useless-ify these crappy, crappy skills so people don't have to choose between having the character they want and having one that can...

I was thinking, if everyone else's hunk of the last post was like mine, we have a lot of options to explore in doing our kingmaking deed. I thought it might help Isida if we tell her what kind of role we'd like our respective characters to play here, in a perfect world. Ideally, Lupaz would be...

Wow, thanks for all that information, Isida! Now to ask you for more. :p What was the nature of Lupaz's relationship with the weirds - would my persuasion have any influence on them? I'm particularly wondering about Ess'ichat, as she covers an element that none of us have any real ties to...

You could try not counting his racial ECL as part of his Leadership score in exchange for also not counting his followers' equal or lesser racial ECL as part of their effective level for leadership purposes. That sounds reasonably balanced to me.

[Standard disclaimer - I checked back to the last 7 pages for an answer to this question, but it's possible I missed something or didn't go back far enough. Apologies in advance.] I recently joined a group in progress after moving, and pulled out an older Bard build to join the campaign with...
