HM's Carrion Crown AP - OOC

Actually, highlighting his name and copy/paste works okay and keeps the font from changing on that. Probably just shorten his name to Hal for a nickname. Would have done the same with Firvin, except we figured that might confuse things on speed reading with it being an actual word.

BTW, I was looking back on Marshan's sheet to find what languages he spoke. Did not find them, perhaps they are not there.

Gregori doesn't speak elven and will likely become irritable whenever she speaks it to someone in his presence.

 

[perrinmiller]

Gregori is going to irritable a lot then since Firvin will speak to herself in her native tongue frequently. If it annoys him, she might take the route of doing it on purpose until he gives up on his habit.

In this case, he probably did not hear it. With he arm around Marshan's as escort, the murmuring voice would not carry that far. From behind, if would not have even seen lips moving.

In the future if he wants to call attention to his allies speaking inconspicuously that will potentially make situations awkward without needing them to be.

Is Gregori going to act stupid in these situations? If so we will need to be careful to kick him in the shins to keep his mouth shut in those circumstances when keeping secrets from others is more important than keeping him informed of what's going on.

I am surprised I missed that. It was on my dndsheets.com build page. I have added them in to the RG page. The only two I get are the defaults of common and elvish. I don't have the extra INT or skill points for more at the moment.

Don't worry. Toddy will teach it to him.

Likewise, I'm not picky about the accent over Halál's name either. If you want to put it in, hold down 'alt' while typing 0225 on the numeric keypad . . . but if no one wants to bother with it I don't blame you a bit!

Yea! I know some get picky, especially in my PFS sessions where they scribble down a five syllable name and expect me as a GM to pronounce it right on the first try. If they get miffed, I tell them to lookup the character Zathras from Bablyon 5. Most of them get the hint.

I am about to go and post but before I do here is some rules to help with the working of NPCs -

This is a simple rule I have used in my RL games and should work really well here in pbp.

There are two types of NPCs Named and Unnamed.

Named NPC's are those that I control inclusively, they are introduced to players as Mort the Baker or High Judge Henville. Players may not control any actions from a Named NPC.

Unnamed NPC's are controlled by both me and the players. They have titles or descriptions to let you know who or what they are. The baker, the man in the corner, or something similar.

Note: That though a player may control a unnamed NPC he may not contradict any personality or actions posted by the DM or another player. (If a player posts that the cook left in a huff mad at the group. You can't post that he had a change of heart and came back and feed everyone, changes like that are left to the DM. And you may not receive any service or item for free or in return for a favor that your character performs for that unnamed NPC. All services and items are at standard rulebook prices with any haggling to be done between player and DM (with the DM in control of the NPC). And lastly these NPCs may not be given a name by the player, you must continue to address them as sir, m'lady, master, etc.

This is all in hopes that we can speed things along. Hate for someone to post. {{ Walking into the tavern John says hello to the barkeep.}} And then you wait two days for me to post. {{ Hello, What will you have?}}

That kind of interplay is not truly need if you go up to the same barkeep and ask if he knows any rumors that is different. But for now just know that you may control unnamed NPCs to both a) keep the game moving and, b) and more depth to your posts.

I find it rude that your conversation is exclusive and I find this post rude.

I am not sure what to make of your last OOC post GE. You are very opinionated and are prone to rant when you are miffed. While I did yank your chain a bit OOC, I wasn't intending to be rude.

Pretty much all of my comments was directed at how things will be in character and not directed at you personally, though. We are all experienced PbP role-players here and should be able to not confuse the two, I think.

However to have Gregori blurt out loudly or snap at his allies when his companions are being inconspicuous and trying not have their conversations overheard by NPCs, is going to be a problem under certain circumstances. This is the point I was making and if he is going to persist in such behavior, Firvin would not be happy. (calling the locals, "yokels" under her breathe in Elven was only to keep them from hearing her insult.)

This is an action that I don't think is too smart on Gergori's part if it hurts our Trust rating or increases difficulty in Diplomacy. But that might be perfectly in character. With his Cha low, I am sure that will come into play too at times. So, if you are going to play him having certain habits and foibles, will we need to adjust. That is all I was getting at.

Yes, I'm opinionated and I do rant on occasion. I didn't like your post and stopped after saying it was rude because I didn't want to say something worse.

You aren't without flaws; when someone doesn't play for optimal results in a situation or follow what you consider to be good tactics you can get a little insulting. For example (and I suppose what irritated me the most):

Is Gregori going to act stupid in these situations?

I mean, really, we walk into a tavern, everyone turns their attention to us, Firvin starts whispering and Gregori is the one being stupid? It's a DC 15 to hear the details of a whispered conversation, (which Gregori can make about 50% of the time) and probably less to notice that whispering is taking place.

That's all on top of the original issue: that your character's comments were made exclusively to one character and in a language that my character doesn't understand. That essentially leaves me no opening to roleplay except in the manner that I did.
