    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Zuri bites her lower lip during the exchange between Wat, Rain and the elves in the forest. She respects the efforts of the elves to ply their trade, even as she desires not to fall victim to it. "So they weren't impressed by our claims about Count Varis.... I wonder whether those, ah, tax...

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Before departing from the Smokey Bean, Zuri is careful to catch a quick moment to thank Olga for her hospitality. On the journey, Zuri is content to find a spot towards the back of the group. Her eyes constantly scan the forest, picking out potential hiding spots from which to launch attacks...

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    It's good to know. The only other threads I've really been active with (the last Ceramic DM competition and there's a couple threads I've been reading in the last week), I was checking roughly every two minutes or a friend would poke me about an update there so I didn't really notice the...

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    Potion of Treasure Finding, because it's in character for Zuri to take it ;) Sorry that my posting has been off, no excuses, I didn't give myself the time to sit down and figure out how to fit Zuri into the scheme of things. I'll see what I can do today. Also, I'm going to have to stop...

    Female-friendly game design?

    My 2 cents are that I don't mind the existing art - I can suspend my disbelief re: the utility of chainmail bikinis if that's the style of armour in a given RPG. And I prefer it if the art suggests my character is hot . I think the biggest barrier for me getting started was access to a group...

    Sexism and presumed sexism in RPGs

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Zuri hears the fisherman's words, but beyond a flinch, which she turns into an exaggerated motion of exhaustion as she settles into a chair at a table away from the men, she doesn't show any sign of being bothered by the muttered words. Pass Perception: 15

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Not a problem. Daeja *was* the name of the first PBEM RPG character I had, several years ago now. :) I was happy to roll with it! With an eyebrow raised in Wat's direction, Zuri moves away as Rain directs her inquiry to him. She heads towards the entryway of the Smokey Bean, pausing on the...

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Approving of Wat's 'take advantage of the situation' attitude, Zuri nods, "Fine by me." She clearly isn't keen to sail off into a situation where they'll be deliberately outnumbered. And then she quickly gives each of their companions a once over, and mutters "Though anyone who sees us as a...

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Zuri is one of the first to disentangle from the post-arrival celebrations and farewells. She looks over the Dolphin, seeing the effects of the battle on her. "We made the right decision, not to turn around," she says to no one in particular. The ship is battered, to say the least, and Zuri has...

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Having done as much as she can to secure the sails, Zuri notices that a few others have gathered around the freed men. She makes her way towards them, wanting to know how the rescue might impact their plans. Zuri will healing surge, and I'll add a stat block here with her update hp but I'm...

    Signaling interest :) I'm not sure in what capacity, but I'm definitely interested :)

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    Seeing some loose rigging, Zuri quickly moved to tie stronger knots, her aching fingers re-securing the sails after the Dolphin had taken its pounding. 1d20+9 → [10,9] = (19) Success! As she worked, she remained aware of Captain Peg, scowling over the ship. When he saw her efforts were...

    Oh yes, I see what I missed, the snapping him out of his shock bit in jbear's last post. Thanks :)

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    I was intending just to wait for Kartuus... but I could sub in Zuri's action for the Captain's nature check, just as was done before.... right? I feel like I've missed some key bit of information making that not possible. I'll reread all the posts this afternoon to double-check (unless someone...

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    No problem jbear! I liked the idea of her being bloodied while doing it, to be honest. If I'd had more time to craft my post this morning, blood would have had more of an impact in the fluff description of her turn :)

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    Oh! Sorry, I thought that rule 5 in the Malenkirk Conventions that jbear posted in the adventure thread meant that because of the non-order nature of the turns, effects/attacks like that should still be applied, regardless of when you get to posting. (I also applied 1d6+3 instead of 1d6+1 for...

    [Adventure] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge:Lord Sessadore)

    [/color] "They're not going to be dancing any time soon. They need our help," Zuri shouted as she saw gypsy woman whirl away into a dance with her blades. She could hear her shouting at Themes over the sounds of battle. Zuri starts when she hears Wat's shout. She looks around, evidence of the...

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    Something that weirdly didn't click for me earlier... Better to use my standard action to hit the crew, presuming I can hit them, and then move the two squares... right? Because then we have damage to the crew + I move the same amount as if I'd double-moved. Or, really, to attempt the...

    [OOC Discussion] A Call for Lovers (DM: jbear Judge??)

    So... Looking at the skill challenge parameters.. I'm thinking I'll have Zuri release a second prisoners with her minor, and then hope she gets lucky on the athletics DC 16 to move the prisoner off board -> otherwise, even using the AP, it looks like we can only get one prisoner *to* the edge...
