[Adventure] The Second Day of Mourning (Judge: renau1g)

[TwoHeadsBarking]

Seeing no reason not to eat the pancakes Lord Jarot digs in. Fort defense is 14 if he gets a save roll=7

Spoiler

gee I hope I did that wrong fort defense-10+1d20 right? and i'm not sure if is unconscious or not

If aware he will be recovering around space F2

[sblock=Saves and Defenses in 4e]Right, so things have changed a little since 3rd edition. Fort, Reflex, and Will are just defense types like AC is. All attacks are going to be against one of those four defenses. The save mechanic is now basically a duration tracker. In almost all cases, you make a saving throw by rolling a d20, adding absolutely nothing, and hoping you got a 10 or higher. So your save would have actually been a 3.

For example, in 3rd edition if a dragon breathed fire on you, you would get to make a reflex save to avoid it. In 4e, now the dragon is the one rolling the dice to see if you're hit. If you are hit, then in later rounds you'll take saving throws to see whether you keep burning.

So in the case of the pancakes, the 18 Kalidrev rolled was an attack against Fort (I assume). If this matched or beat your Fort, your character was "hit" by the pancakes. Then we had to make saves to see how quickly we recovered from the booze.

Normally, the only downside to failing a save is that you're still affected by the condition (for example, you're still on fire). Occasionally you'll be hit by things like these pancakes, that punish you even harder for failing a save. The medusa's turn to stone ability works like this, as first you're slowed, then immobilized, then petrified as you continue to fail saves, representing a gradual turning into stone.

So the pancakes hit your Fort, and you failed your first save, which means you are currently unconscious.[/sblock]

Lo-Kag stirs from his deep sleep and gets up. "Did I miss anything?"

"Yeah, breakfast. Just kidding, there's still some left. You should try the pancakes," Alexia replies, radiating innocence.

So Lord Jarot is now passed out at his seat from breakfast.

Day 1; Shift 2; part 2

[sblock=Dimsdale] Thanks for the update! [/sblock]

After everyone is done eating (and either shake off or wake up from the drunko-cakes!) Gurdis cleans up the table and goes to her room. A few minutes later, she announces that she will be leaving for the day, but would be back to cook dinner. She wishes Alexia and Gurdan a good shift and heads out the door in her jewelry and fur coat. You can still see her glitter at the end of the massive bridge that spans between the two towers.

[sblock=ooc] For those who are awake, please tell me what you plan to do for the next 6 hours. [/sblock]

[sblock=Lord Jarot] You can make a save every hour against being passed out. So go ahead and make 6 saves and show me how long you're passed out for. [/sblock]

 

[hornedturtle]

[sblock=passed out]roll one 11
roll two 3
roll three 11
roll four 17
roll five 3
roll six 10

I think he recovers after the first one or at least after the forth. I's the second if each roll over 10 improves it by one step.[/sblock] Either way when aware he will drag a chair to space F2 and sit there recovering from the pancakes.

"Yeah, breakfast. Just kidding, there's still some left. You should try the pancakes," Alexia replies, radiating innocence.

"Pancakes? I've never heard of pancakes. I'm quite hungry though, hungry enough to eat a horse...yes a horse." Lo-Kag walks over to the plate of remaining pancakes, not noticing Lord Jarot still agonizing over the effects of the homemade batch,, and takes a large bite.

[sblock=ooc save]

He chews on the pancakes a couple times and the gulps it down dragon style. "Aaaaahhhhhh...delicious!" Looking around the room an noticing everyone staring at him, turns to Alexia, "Alexia, thank you for the suggestion. I must ask our host for the recipe when she gets back...hey, what's everyone staring at...and what what happened to you Lord Jarot?"

With his hunger pains gone, Lo-Kag returns to his spot by the fireplace, only to see everyone still staring at him. "Alright, what's going on?" , Lo-Kag says as if he knows that he's the victim of some type of joke, but taking it in stride. He then grins a teethy grin and shakes his head from side-to-side, and takes his sword out ready to be in guard mode again, even though it is not his shift.

 

[Kalidrev]

[sblock=Dimsdale] LOL, you don't get bonuses to saves (well okay, some do, but it's rare. Like warforged vs ongoing damage, or dwarves vs poison...) like that. The pankakes rolled an 18 vs Fort. THEN if the pankakes hit, you are slowed; save ends. If you failed your first save, you get knocked unconcious; save ends. Lo-Kag has a Fort defense of 19, which the pankakes did not meet, so you RP'd it perfectly, but I just wanted you to be aware of the mechanical aspects of things for when the real fights come into play ^_^ [/sblock]

After an hour of dreamland, Lord Jarot recovers from his pancake induced slumber and looks around, seeing the now-awake (and completely unaffected) dragonborn, ready for duty, even though it's not yet his shift.

[sblock=Lord Jarot] You also notice that there is a bit of syrup on his face and wonder why it is that he wasn't passed out and you were! I mean, c'mon, you're Lord Jarot, right! How is this pretensious dragon going to out-do YOU!? [/sblock]

I must ask our host for the recipe when she gets back...hey, what's everyone staring at...and what what happened to you Lord Jarot?"

"I know, aren't they great?" Alexia replies, doing a magnificent job of hiding her disappointment. "I must admit I'm a little surprised that our host is such a talented cook. Many people of her wealth would leave such things to servants. Although, now that I think of it, we really don't know a lot about her. I mean, she's clearly wealthy, but does anyone know who she is, or what's her position in society? How does one come into possession of that?" she muses, gesturing towards the pedestal. She then shrugs and returns to her lute.

[sblock=activities]Alexia will spend the rest of her shift plucking away at her lute, unless interrupted.[/sblock]

 

[Kalidrev]

[sblock=History] Anyone who wants to can make a History check. I'll give more information on Gurdis based on how high your check is. [/sblock]

Got it.
[/sblock]

Lo-Kag stands at the ready. He smiles at Alexia as he wipes away the last of the syrup from his mouth with his snake-like tongue, then chuckles a bit.

[sblock=history]
check history check on Gurtis: 1d20+7=26

wow...i hope these rolls continue
[/sblock]

After a while Lo-Kag states to his companions, "I've been thinking about our friend Gurtis for a while. If memory serves me correctly, this is what I know..."

 

[Kalidrev]

[sblock=Lo-Kag] You remember hearing about a minor noble named Gurkhim d'Kundarak who operated out of the Mror Holds. This noble became a merchant and was known for traveling throughout Khorvaire selling and trading his wares. His biggest seller? A potent syrup that the dwarves used for cooking. Most of his customers used it as a "sleeping aid"... on others. Unfortunately for Gurkhim, House Kundarak found out that Gurkhim was actually taking the syrup from the house's own supplies and was making personal profit off of these sales. House Kundarak stripped Gurkhim of his status and he became an outcast. Years later, Gurkhim found himself a wife and they had a daughter. One who looks quite similar to the female dwarf who's home you are now staying in. [/sblock]
