(Adventure) Retrieval of Fallon's Key (Macbeth Judging)

[Manzanita]

OOC: Very glad to have you back.

IGGY: "Shoot him!"

 

[Lichtenhart]

Noticing he can't follow the imposter, Serene Wind checks if Iggy is alright, then he can't keep himself from asking: "How did...that...thing...know about the language spell? It looks like it can fly, was it shadowing us? ...Oh... Iggy, sorry if I asked your mother's name, but if it could cast spells too I wasn't sure I could tell which one was you. How did you call... the false you?"

 

[Manzanita]

Iggy

Iggy smiles as Sara embraces him, then drops his eyes awkwardly after she releases him and he's looking at her from 3 foot up. "Thanks for your support team. As for what that thing was, I can't be sure. There are several possibilities. An capable wizard, a doppleganger, or some other powerful magical foe..."

Iggy tries to remember back to his magical beastiary class at the acadamy. Unfortunately, he frequently skipped that class for elevensies, particularly on the days he had already missed 2nd breakfast. The elven and human professors didn't seem to appreciate meals properly.

"Some magic would allow thought reading, which might explain how it would know about my language spell. But there is another explanation. Hmmm...[font size = "8"]we have Double Trouble, Serene Wind, Rogier, Llolian, Sebastian...[/font] Hey, where is Thebis-Ra? I'll bet the shape-shifter has been with us the whole time! That evil bastard - I knew we should have never allowed him to accompany us!"

OOC: actually your last action was a little oddly stated and ambiguous... my first reading of it was that you had stepped back into your room when you realized there was a fight. I'll let the DM make a ruling before sara takes any action... and very out of character, you may not want to roll eyes after that little performance. One of the great joys of living en world for me is that with no set "party" we're under no obligation to metagame the acceptance of obstructionist PCs.

[Well, what good is it to position my self behind the door? Now the doppelganger has to go through me first before he can open the door, which would mean the doppelganger would have to use a standard action to move me and then he still has to open the door... Now that I read it back, I can see how you can interpret it in two ways, but it was my intention to stand between the door and the doppelganger...

I really do want to roll my eyes. I doubt Iggy will call me an evil bastard when I'm 10 ft. away from him...

What 'little performance' are you referring to? Oh, and explain to me how I'm an obstructionist PC. ]

 

[Mithreander]

OOC: Iggy was in the room with Sara, and Sara had picked the 'center' room, so when Thebis-Ra marked he'd stay in the middle room, he was actually in the same room as Iggy and Sara. Thebis-Ra, then wakes to the sounds of screaming and yelling and saying he needs to keep his head clear and that the group can handle this themselves, walks from the room where the action is into the next room (out of this room). Janos Audon then confirms he's out of the room by his statement" [if I was present, I would so be in favor of Quick, Decisive Action! for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about : STONE! Oh, and since I don't hear spellcasting/fighting, just shouting, I really do think they can handle themselves...] He then closes the door, and places himself in front of it (in the next room). I'm sorry for all of this confusion. I odviously did not make this scene clear enough, and the amount of time between my post have not help either. Oh, and Janos Audron, don't be so sensitive. Kahuna Burger was saying they do not have to accept obstructionist PC's, not that you were one. And I think the performance that she was speaking of was the one where your character hears the fighting, complains that he needs to keep his head clear, dismisses it to the others to handle, then walks away, showing no concern. Just a guess. You are correct, Iggy would not have made that comment, which he concluded (wrongly, on purpose, for the sake of roll-playing, I may add) with the absence of the mage, though, in truth, Iggy should have heard Thebis-ra exit the room after the Doppleganger was there, especially when he called attention to himself with his comments, though, admittedly, Iggy was distracted by his own image.

Standing at the window watching the creature float away, Sebastian contemplates if he could have jumped and landed on its back.

Then turns to the party and asks again, "DO WE STILL HAVE THE POINTER!!" looking a bit disturbed.



[OCC] Did I not get a chance to grab him prior to him going out the window as I was in possition also? - And I'm still wondering if we should post our own rolls or just bonuses when we attempt attacks / skills? - Sorry if this is a stupid ? but I have not done a PBP game before. [OCC]

 

[Mithreander]

OOC: Yes, you were posestioned to grab him, but the creature was bull rushed out of the way, then Sabastioin possitioned himself in the way of the window. The doppleganger then tumbled past the group, but everyone close got AoO, but Sabastion missed, and the doppleganger got out. As for posting your bonuses for rolls, please do that. It saves me the time of looking up each character, though, in truth, I don't have a problem doing that either. If Iggy checks for the pointer (that's who had it last) he'll find that it is indeed gone. Oh, and Sabastion could try to jump down on the fleeing dopplegangers back, if he wishes, though he'll more then likely fal to his death if he misses. It sure would be spectacular if he made it though! Go ahead!

[OCC] Thanks, works for me just wanted to check.
I'll continue to post bonuses when I do anything where they may be needed.
NO I'll pass on the leap o'death, but belive me I thought about it. [OCC]


Once Iggy checks his stuff and finds it missing, Sebastian will return to his room to gather his equipment. As he goes thru the door, "We need to get after him now or we will never see it again."
