CHAINMAIL running for a while (trial basis only)

Yup. It's die to the server being busy loading the module. It's so big, that it actually takes the server a couple of minutes to load the darn thing!

Hmmmm, I didn't notice until Rus pointed it out in game that the Wyrmling I've been nabbing as a companion is twice my level. No wonder he puts me to shame. Still, he's saved my butt so many times now. I'm only dying half as often. ;p He just rescued me from a Fine Stag Beetle. I couldn't lock on the dratted thing at all, but Wyrmies breath weapons got rid of him.

I find higher hit dice companions a mixed blessing..sure they help in combat but they also seem to have you considered a higher threat and therefore spawn nastier thing.

In regards to the soldiers, I am getting kinda tired of their lousy AI. Everyone keeps telling me to get a Cleric Henchie. Question is, how? I can't access the appropriate dialogue. Is it a level or gp issue? My guy is chronically poor.

Henchmen cost a 100gp fee to hire not sure if there is a level requirement but I dont think so.

With soldiers they are free to hire but you can only have one or two of a rank that isnt higher than your level. So if your 6th level you can have a Rank 6 Crusader and a Rank 6 Battlemage or up to two of any of a rank below that but that is all. Some soldiers are really handy as they can heal you too via dialogue options.

also with regards to the talk commands to get them to help..one thing i've noticed folks doing it typing the commands more than once..which through my own experiences i have found to be a problem when you say help or attack once they do so (even if lag prevents them) if yhowever you type those commands again..it doesnt reaffirm the command but simply negate the first command. For example you say attack your hench or soldier goes into wavering combat pose ... if you say it again they stand at ease and do not engage.

Morrus... The PC-Skry function seems to be working ok.

My stronghold has disapeared. Could I possibly get my 2.85 Mill gold back please?

Peace

 

[Dinkeldog]

Is it just me or has the server been down a couple hours now?

 

[cantrip]

It's not just you
I've been staring at the status page here and it agrees with you.

I really should do something else...

 

[Chaz]

Yeah its been down for a looonnnggggg time... ive been coming back here hoping for an update or some word...

Guess I should give up and find something else to do.

Peace

 

[Neo]

I'd like to say as a DM I have some clue as to what happened and where it is but I cant and I dont I've been waiting just like you guys for the last four hours or so for it to come back.

It had two crashes just after our bout in the forest and came back each time but then it went down a third time and has been down ever since.

 

[Greylock]

Dang. I was on for all of three minutes just now, and it timed out. Server isn't showing.

 

[Morrus]

Just restarted it. Neo, drop me an email and I'll reply with details you can use to do the same.

 

[Greylock]

Yarrr!!! Neo and I were standing around chatting online when you reset.
