Epic problem OOC
- Thread starter Jemal
- Start date
Alrighty, sorry for my lack of posts, but A: I've been out of town for the last week, and have been subsequently kidnapped by family, B: We've sort of been stuck in a bit of a dialog and I'm not quite sure what I could add to it, C: DMing a 12 man independant game/working full time sort of drains my time.
I am keeping track of what happens and try to post as often as possible. I really enjoy playing this.

Murgle...Jemal check out my thread titled "By the time you read this I will be gone..."
Summary: I've been in the process of moving over the past 2 weeks. That's slowed me down a bit, and made me prone to forgetting to post to threads that didn't kick up to the front every so often. I apologize for that.
Once I get settled, I'll be back on the ball, promise.

It would depend on HOW the character dies. I try to avoid PC death if at all possible, b/c I find it tends to be the best way to mess up a campaign. Sometimes it happens though.
I AM against people ditching PC's to play other PC's, though, so don't anybody TRY to get their character killed off.
As for new characters - Well, that would depend on what they are, who they work for, and HOW they managed to get into the Prime.

Having second thoughts about the 'working for major badguy' thing?
If Ijazim does end up becoming one of the badguys (Anti-PC), you can either keep playing him through as a Solo adventure (Maybe Xis or Jool would stick with you), or you can create a replacement as Ijazim is consumed by the void and becomes an NPC/dies... Thoughts?[/sblock]

Thanks for the comment IC, I guess a dirty mind can come in handy sometimes

No, no I'm all for continuing with Ijazim. I'm not surrendering one of my favorite characters just like that. But there are ways to kill a character that doesn't allow for resurrections and which may even prevent him from returning as an undead. Panarchus can do that to Ijazim, and Ijazim can do it to Panarchus. (Besides losing all your equipment is a fate worse than death at these levels.)
But let the dice roll. I'm ready, and I may even win.
I have a question that will probably come up though. Panarchus has a contingency spell that teleports him if I cast Disjunction of him (which I will almost certainly do as my first offensive action in the battle). Does that contingency trigger before or after the Disjunction has affected him? In the case of the Disciple the contingency triggered after the action that had set it off took place. Contingency is a reactive spell, it doesn't predict the future. And I think Panarchus intended use for it is illegal. (If I had another 9th lvl Pearl of Power the issue would be mostly academic but as it is the wording of the Contingency spell is all that stands between Ijazim and death.).
The way I interpret it is that it triggers the spell either simultaneously or after the condition that triggered it has happened. Either way Panarchus is effected by the Disjunction, but one way he's simply teleported unbuffed to his destination and the other way he's simply debuffed and doesn't teleport.[/sblock]

So I've been following along on these threads, and notice that you may have lost a couple of players.
POUNCE!
I have a couple of ideas I'd like to pitch if you're thinking about recruiting replacements.

He's using it correctly. There IS time after a spell has started being cast and before it takes effect. Otherwise it would be impossible for a mage to recognize a spell being cast and counter it. The spell detects "Mordenkainens disjunction is being cast nearby" and teleports him. Keep in mind though that Ijazim does not know that.[/sblock]
Well, first off it's nice to know i've got readers! Secondly, Yes I'll probably be replacing Whran (He hasn't been online in over a month, I see.. wonder what happened.), but don't know if it'll be right away or in a little bit... The position would be for a goodie-two-shoes character, what did you have in mind?

First choice would be an epic intrantrix.
Laszlo Farkas, neutral good human wizard 5 / incantrix 20 / loremaster 5. He's good, but he's not exactly paladin good, if you follow me. In this particular party, he might engage in a fair amount of eye rolling. You know... behind their backs.
