[reapersaurus]

I hate cats

What's to hate about those little balls of hatred?

And just for that, Blaster is "Mr. Fluffy" to you from now on.

Running behind. Boss in the office*.

Have a ton of free time tonight, however . Oh, and this round was not as violent as last round, but it looks like a good setup for next round.

Also: I've noticed that the targets are getting harder than in the first two rounds...

("is that a boss in your office, or are you just normally a fluffy ball of hatred?")

Hey Seasong, would you mind emailing my character to my address again please? As I said I'm in Arizona, but I forgot to email my own character to myself lol... (Whisper_the_tiefling@yahoo .com)

 

[seasong]

Two of you have asked for a copy of your characters. I will be able to send those to you when I get home - the copy I have at work has too many DM's notes

Also, I'm still working on the round from last night. This round has taken a lot longer due mostly to tiredness on my part, although it is at least less confusing .

I'm going out of town this weekend, so I think we'll set the deadline at Sunday night. Sound good?

A note on points: It was pointed out to me by a friend that summoned creatures and animal companions are generally less dangerous than cohorts; it was also pointed out that animated objects, grasping hands, and similar things act just like a companion, and require hit point damage to end, and so should probably be treated similarly to summoned creatures and animal companions for points.

You'd think, by now, that I wouldn't be surprised anymore when there are points issues I haven't considered .

Anyway, here is the complete points rules, which I will not change any further without an act of congress

[cool hand luke]

will you have everything posted by tomorrow morning? (I'm leaving at noon tomorrow) so If you don't post by then, I won't be able to make the sunday deadline.

Actually, I have some clarifications I need from you, so I'll send you a note on where you're at right now - it should be sufficient information for you to decide the next round as well.

As for tomorrow morning, I'm hoping to have it up today .

 

[seasong]

Was chatting with Jeremy on Yahoo IM (hanging around for cool hand luke ), and he mentioned that y'all might like a few teasers while you wait.

- It looks like 2, possibly 3, characters have died (all cohorts).
- The Xiao family finally deigns to notice Cholestus. He notices them back.
- A few more animals die.
- Izad thinks he's Jesus. Why would a bear try to eat Jesus?
- Master + Blaster switch gears. Fast.

[Jeremy]

Did you Xiao's hit Izad with the purple stuff too? Haven't we got enough crazies running around?

 

[cool hand luke]

sorry, can't IM at work,

but I did send you an email
