[IK] The Corvis University Discreet Investigation and Retrieval Union (OOC)

[Blue_Genie]

Grrr... I'm annoyed. This all works fine from my computer at work, but when I try to post from home, I get an error message whenever I highlight one of the buttons to use bold/italic/whatever. The message is-

'istyles[...].0' is null or not an object

I don't know how to debug, but I ran the auto-bebugger type thing it came up with a whole load of errors, but did not seem to fix anything. Any computer experts have any ideas?

What browser are you using, Bobitron?

 

[Bobitron]

IE on Windows XP.

Edit: I use IE on ME, I think, at work.

I'm glad I could bring a smile to yer face DrunkenMonkey.

Now how the bloody hell Cormyck knows how a gobber in heat actually smells is a tale best left untold.

I believe, although I don't know this for sure, that the buttons you are referring to are written in JavaScript. You may have a bug there.

Hmm, you might try a different browser (such as Mozilla's Firefox) and see if it keeps on happening. If it does, I'd say it was a server-side problem (i.e. not yours).

Blue: Quick question. We have had at least a working relationship with Edrea, so we know her and she knows us fairly well, correct? Does she tend to be formal or conversational in her tone with us as a contact to the Professor?

Thanks,

Slip

Slip,

You know that she works very closely with the Prof, although they don't always see eye to eye. You've dealt with her less than with Pendrake's chief assistant, but you know her manner to be very cold and stand-offish. Like most Iosans, she generally keeps herself apart from (some might say above) human society, and only deals with you when she absolutely has to. Most of the time she is off conducting her own research, either at the University or in the field. She rarely betrays emotion and speaks in short, measured sentences. Every once in a while, and only when she doesn't think you are observing her, you think you might detect a deep melancholy within her.

General comment on elves in the IK: There are two branches of elves to be found in the Iron Kingdoms. The Iosans, who live in an extremely xenophobic realm just south-east of the dwarven kingdom of Rhul, and due east of Llael, and the Nyss or Winter Elves, who live in the far-northern reaches of Khador. The Nyss are rare in the extreme in northern Cygnar, and seeing one usually provokes interest from passers-by. Little is known about them, except that they don't like visitors to their territories. They are generally tall, lithe to the extreme and have long, straight black hair and the complexion of bleached bone. Iosans are generally fairer of hair and eye, and have more human-looking skin. They are slightly more common and come in two categories: exiles and officials. Officials are generally diplomats to the various human powers and project themselves with many guards in their heavily guarded compounds. They have become even less common in the last few years, as Ios withdraws from the rest of the world. Exiles are those who have chosen, or who have been forced, to live outside of Ios. These are the ones you have the greatest chance of encountering, as they have joined human society for better or worse, and may have adapted friendlier, non-Iosan demeanors. Still, most never fit in, and live on the fringes.

Would someone be so kind as to give me the breakdown on Speed for a human. I forgot to write it down on the character sheet I brought to work.
I need walking, running and sprinting.

Thanks,

Slip

Here ya go, Slip. Normal move for a human is 30ft, unless restricted by load or armor.

Modes of Movement: While moving at the different movement scales, creatures generally walk, hustle, or run.
Walk: A walk represents unhurried but purposeful movement at 3 miles per hour for an unencumbered human.
Hustle: A hustle is a jog at about 6 miles per hour for an unencumbered human. A character moving his or her speed twice in a single round, or moving that speed in the same round that he or she performs a standard action or another move action is hustling when he or she moves.
Run (x3): Moving three times speed is a running pace for a character in heavy armor. It represents about 9 miles per hour for a human in full plate.
Run (x4): Moving four times speed is a running pace for a character in light, medium, or no armor. It represents about 12 miles per hour for an unencumbered human, or 8 miles per hour for a human in chainmail.

Thanks a lot Bobitron!
