Jina just shrugs. "No use arguing about how effective this place's deathtraps are," she says with a grin. "If we're lucky, the anwer is "not effective enough", right? But hey, we're in an ancient vault looking for centuries-old magical artifacts. Of course there are traps and weird moving...

Go for it, this had actually occurred to me as well when I considered what you'd so far said about him. There's definitely a balance there. But so long as you're aware of it, I'm not too worried. Just apply a little moderation. I certainly don't see a problem with expressing opinions like...

Ghaunder AC 14 HP 34/34 Ghaunder gives a curse and drops his crossbow as he realises that the bulk of the fighting must be going on the ship's deck. Odd, then, that he can't hear anything... but now's not the time to be worrying about that. He seizes up his sword and shield as he makes for the...

"Look - the crystal's glowing," Jina exclaims, gazing up at the thing. "That's new. I guess it has something to do with moving the platform?" She looks about, checking that nothing else - like those statues - seems to be affected.

Okay. It's been a tough decision to make, because all the applications have been good. Unfortunately there's isn't room for all of you, so here's the line up: - Zurai: Maas Gillian, Male Air Genasi Swordsage/Wizard - Shayuri: Thorn, Female Tiefling Swordsage/Beguiler - Brian Compton: Bariel...

Kae goes for the guard shack. She's not interested in attacking, she's waiting for James to turn up with the cavalry.

"Why hello again," Kae calls out mockingly as she moves quickly to take more secure cover - preferably with a solid wall in between her and that crossbow. "It's interesting. Most dumb animals learn not to fall for the same bait twice, but I guess you're stupider than most. Ah well, keep it up...

You might be in luck there, cos I only just got back after being kept busy all day and now I'm pretty tired. I'll put off my decison till tomorrow. Sorry for the slowdown, everybody. The end of term rush is killing me. But, tomorrow I'll have a decision for sure. :)

Kae will likewise take cover, deterred from full flight by the sight of James and his reinforcements but not willing to dive back into the fray before they have actually engaged the enemy.

Looks very interesting, and I have no problem with the psionics or general flavor of it. Works just fine for me. :) Yes, that works fine too. Fits in quite neatly in fact. Lovely! * * * I'll have a think about exactly how many players I want to take, and which ones, over this evening...

Kae, for her part, doesn't need telling twice. She turns tail and bolts for the gate, trusting that the Claw's newly-developed pathological fear and loathing of gnomes will distract attention from her own flight.

Ershe may not understand the gnoll shaman's words, but her intent is clear enough. His heart gives a leap as he realises that the transgressing grell may still have a chance to escape their brutal fate. He aims to add to Urthe's own work, invoking another fog bank to extend her own as soon as...

Fen chews his tobacco, regarding Dacien impassively after his outburst. "Gettin' ourselves killed wouldnt'a saved the gal," he says quietly after a moment. "Don't take it personal." He turns around, giving a nod to Rexy's suggestion. "Right. Time to see what nice surpises the basement's...

Jina lets out a deep breath, relaxing from the tensed stance she'd assumed while watching Rogan work. "Good job!" she grins. "Can't wait to see what's worth all this trouble, when we've already found the treasure trove."

Mmm, you have a very good point. I appreciate your self-restraint. ;) Since nobody else has been clamoring for a raised value either, 32 pt buy can stand. Looks great! A good old-fashioned swashbuckly background. :D Minor nitpick - it's Astres, not Astre. Only thing that needs a...

I'll give it a couple more days before I make any definite decisions on players, so I'm not asking for character sheets yet. I don't want to put people to the trouble of a full character sheet while there's still a chance they won't get into the game. For now I'm happy to talk things through on...

Well, to be completely honest, I'm not a massive fan of the 'let's add six new sentient races with every splat book' idea that WotC seemed to develop for their later 3.5 supplements. ;) So... if you're happy to go with a human, that sounds preferable to me. My only other thought is a half-orc...

Indeed, I'm afraid it's somewhat key to my conception of the setting that Astresians are very much hung up on ideas of racial integrity. From my first post: 'aasimars are particularly abhorrent, since Astresians are used to the idea of Celestials as manifestations of Astres's divine will. The...

Ahhh, ok, I see what you were driving at. My picture of the Elemental Courts is that they are pretty tolerant by nature; so long as you're on the right side, they don't care too much what you believe or what kind of martial styles you're interested in. On the whole there's no emnity between the...

"Oh, by the stinking Flame..." Kae mutters darkly as Sedar conspicuously fails to make his dramatic getaway. She glances over at Rethlin. "Uh, no offense..." Cautiously she starts creeping after Zook, trying to get close enough to take potshots into the fray if need be. Unfortunately she...
