Malvoisin's Savage Tide OOC Thread *Resurrected*

[Voadam]

So noted on the dagger distinction, thanks for clarifying.

I'll rule in a bit on the total defense/flanking question.

No rush, I'm sure the zombies will be chopped to pieces before it can become relevant, and I'm happy fighting defensively for the possible 1, 1, 1, or 2 points of damage that the silver blade can do in Kalen's skilled hands.

Do you think if Chongo moved to the opening to his left the mindless zombies would follow into his space and five of us could strike each round instead of three with two having the door provide cover?

I was wondering the same thing when I looked at the battle map.

And I've always treated Total Defense as not threatening for exactly the reason outlined above by Stonegod.

Agreed all around. I was hoping to drop the first one before backing away, because I'd like to have one combat where one of us isn't bleeding out.

....because I'd like to have one combat where one of us isn't bleeding out.

Patience... Patience... It will come.

 

[GwydapLlew]

Much obliged, Col!

Edit: I realized after we started the game that the Olmans are more Meso-American Aztec types rather than African. It's a shame, because there are some really cool Olman articles in the most current Dragon.

It also just occurred to me that at some point I said I would post a list of Greyhawk languages for sombody's PC, and that I never did it. So I seek to rectify that problem:

Common (a combination of Ancient Backlunish and Old Oeridian. Widely used across the Flanaess)
Baklunish (mainly spoken by the tribes of the Plains of Paynim)
Oeridian (widely spoken across the Flanaess)
Suloise (this language became all but extinct when the Rain of Colorless Fire devastated the Suel Empire. Useful for delving into the arcane tomes of the forgotten Suloise)
Flan (mainly spoken by the Tenha)

Ferrel (a Oerdian dialect spoken by officials of the Iron League)
Nyrondese (a High Oeridian dialect spoken by peasants, shopkeepers, etc in Nyrond)
The Cold Tongue (a Suloise/Flan admixture spoken by the barbarians of the Thillonrian Peninsula)
Velondi (Old Oerdian dialect spoken by rural folk near the Veluna/Nyrond border)
Keolandish (Old/High Oeridian dialect spoken in and around Keoland)
Lendorian (obscure Suloise dialect spoken in the Sprindrift Isles)

 

[Malvoisin]

Thanks for that, Rhun!

 

[Voadam]

And Olman, I believe.

If Chongo is amenable then Kalen will be interested in learning Olman from him.

 

[GwydapLlew]

Well, Sueloise is still used in the Scarlet Brotherhood. Ancient Suloise a seperate langage. Also Old Flan, which is the progenitor language of Flan. There are some other dialects hither and thither, but those are the main ones.

 

[Rhun]

Right, kind of like the whole Old Oeridian/High Oeridian. The list I posted is the list from the Greyhawk boxed set, circa 1983.
