Off To War... Recriutment/Discussion

I have no doubt Professor Lurik is capable of empathy. Perhaps he simply chooses to disregard it in favor of a more... unique personality. A more argumentative personality. Haha.

Whatever is happening IC. I don't care. I'm shelfing Marko until the next morning. When the butt-kicking starts, Yarrggghhh!!!

*runs around the apartment making combat with the air*

I'll let the more "interesed" people do that planning... "thing". In my mind it is already done.

Marko's Uber Battlefield Plan of Epic Victorious'ness'ness:
*walk to field*
*take cover behind wooden thingie*
*wait until pointy-eared monkeys charge*
*smash pointy-eared monkeys*
*repeat step four until done*
*serve victory at room temperature*

Empathy is Charisma, IMO, Lurik is not strong in such

We have both created "know it all" characters with high opinions of themselves, there is going to be friction.

And Marko, aren't you supposed to be the meat shield, not cowering behind the barrier like myself. You are supposed to give me cover not the other way around

I'm sure HM won't really kill us off. Pretty sure... I mean he probably won't... Yeah.

HM:
I've put Trinham's Level 4 updates in the RG. HP roll double usual this time. Wow.

 

[Gondsman]

Okay, I'm going to put this all here since it's all OOC.

For the battle tomorrow I prepare

WizL1 Mage Armor

ClL0 2xcreate water (most likely to sacrifice as cure minor to save people dying)

ClL1 Bless, Magic Weapon

My strategy

The creation spell will last 8 hours so I will cast that as soon as we get to the spot we plan to defend from.

Just before the battle begins, Cast Mage armor (dur 1 hour)

1st round of battle cast bless (dur 1 minute)

2nd round cast magic weapon on my bow (dur 1 minute)

Then I start attacking.

other than the 2 CmW I'll rely on my Heal Skill. Until I have full L1 complements of spells I can't really save anything for healing.

I realize I'm finagling big time on the idea that I've heard about Lora making herself a bigger target through the grapevine, but I think it works with the rising competition between our personalities, Lora, intelligent, bossy and hot headed, and Lurik, intelligent and wise, cool, and largely uncaring.

If you wish HM I can do away with it.

Uncaring seems a bad trait for a healer, or is healing just a bonus ability not a key ability for Lurik?

I'm sure HM won't really kill us off. Pretty sure... I mean he probably won't... Yeah.

Not the plan hope IC (invisible castle) got my memo.

Going to check which leads me to...

I was thinking you could hit LVL 2 [1/1] the 15th i.e. (next week) and we probably won't be done with the armory/walk postings till about then. But you will need to post in the armory, or a little more as you head off to bed. Not sure how much you need but could possible get it before the battle which would be better than during... well maybe lvling up during it would't be bad either hmm....

Chiming in here... Levelling during a fight is great for a combat-focused class (Fighter, Ranger, Barbarian, or even Rogue), but terrible for your average spellcaster. Reason being, spellcasters need time to rest and study/pray/focus for their spells, while the warrior just gets his stats boosted automatically. Just a little food for thought there...

 

[HolyMan]

My thinking was leaning towards that "special energy" coming from deep within to give Lurik a cure spell when he really needed it or whatever channeling divine power he was looking at.

I think it would be hard for wizards and others to lvl up during a fight but a sdorcerer or duskblade finding thier hidin reserve would be visable.

Oh snap! I have the sudden urge to gender swap Marko for a little of Vance's I-Love-The-Ladies action.

*gender swap*

"...Why hello big boy. Why don't you bring that lovely behind of yours over here and sit next to me. Thats right. Good. Now look away for just one moment..."

*picks pocket*...
*picks other pocket*...
*steals sword*...
*steals armor*...
*dumps him in hydra lake*...

"...Oops! Silly me. Tehehe"

Truthfully I like the idea of trying to survive this fight, we have a fair amount of might in the levels of the others, and with the cover (19AC) and other spells (bless+Magic weapon+PBS=Longbow +4 1d8+2) I think I can do well.

Also the more i think about it, if I were to replace the armor prof (light) with the Warmage ability Armored Mage (Light) and get me a chain shirt, possibly from the armory, i don't need the mage armor spell, and don't have to worry about spell failure....

However i see this maybe as being a "Lurik wakes up to the powers of the universe and his divine casting shows him how to modify his casting to ignore spell failure (divine casting has none) in the same battle where the first true application of divine and arcane magic occurs" sort of thing, and the actual fear of battle leads Lurik to wish he had more offensive magical might and real physical protection leading him to use armor


anyway just a thought




And you should be careful tempting the DM like that Marko, remember what I did to Dane's Character
