New Game of Death: Battle Royale of the GAWDS

[Number47]

Yep, the site is definitely acting strangely. Half the time when I go there, it is just a column of text with the links intact, but no formatting. If I post a comment, though, I can reload the page and it appears normal again. This is probably just me, using a Mac and Netscape 7. So the easy solution is, simply expect to see a lot of comments from me on the site.

Well, that makes it practically impossible to sunder a bow, then. After all, being able to sheathe and unsheathe every turn and take a five foot step while making a full attack action makes you immune to the one thing that is a downside for an archer. I guess we all have to use the ready action against these guys.

You can do the same thing with 2.2k gloves of storing. You pretty much need a ready action to destroy a bow that someone has decided to protect.

Where is reapersaurus's move anyway? IMHO, he wouldn't have lost anything by sending it in ahead of time, since he's off in his own little world. Anyway, I want to see how much of his move matches what I'd do, even not knowing his characters' exact abilities.

I thought the Gloves of Storing were a standard action to store an item and free to reteive. (sp)

Not according to the DMG errata.

Good to know.

Well, 6 posts before yours, I said I sent mine earlier.
I guess reading is a lost art form, eh?

And while Therron is lost, and Jade is caught, the little canary can still peck.

The kobold is impervious though, and the Gawd's are determined to have that ioun stone be lost to my team, it appears.

edit: I just remembered that these kobolds, which are immune to Jade's no-save stunning effect, are the same ones that weren't equipped by the Gawds with a See Invisibility so they could do their jobs effectively? WTF?

Maybe I'm just expecting a different type of battle between PC's, and not so much NPC interference in a GoD?

 

[reapersaurus]

how can you read the comments of the actions that have scrolled off the Main Page?

clockwork:
I'll post Jade's follow-up words after the kobold shrugged off Jade's Blast:
[Jade] "Well, hey there, you look SOOO cute in that big helmet!" She says, cooing like the songbird she is.

"I have a proposition for you that MAY gain you your masters' favor.

If you don't leave, and you return Therron's ioun stone to me without using it, then next round I will try to force Martok there (the one that imprisoned us and keeps us from continuing our Work) to let us out, and bring Therron back.

Better yet, when we get out, I promise that we will help you take out players that have ioun stones. I have a feeling that all 3 of us would have more success Hunting quarry than you alone.
We will let you have any ioun stones of players we defeat, and I can guarantee that Therron will uphold this bargain if you agree, because he is well-known throughout the land to uphold his word, and we speak as one in negotiation.

As a gesture of Good Faith, you may have my ioun stones, all 4 of them.
You may have some ability to sense that they are not as powerful as Therron's, or the other stones you Hunt, but perhaps your masters may count them in your tally in the end?" [/Jade]

Shouldn`t you send this in secret. Off course i always find it very handy to know my enemy (or their fake) plans in advance. Gives me ways to couneract them. Not that i`m anywhere near you or am I?

Twinswords, Jarrod or "that git with wings"

Well, that's part of her stated actions this turn, so I don't see why other players wouldn't hear her stated words that are said in Common....

Plus, on a personal note, I think subterfuge and hiding things is so.... well, let's say I'm not interested in that aspect of the game - be my guest, but I don't think anything your characters actually DO or SAY should be secret unless you're invisible or something like that.
