OOC: House Millithor in COSQ part 3

[Xael]

As for your previous OOC posts I did find them wrong. The IC politics that can't be avoided in character shouldn't stem over to OOC discussions that’s meant to help the party.

That’s a term you used earlier:


You’re the mage shouldn’t you be trying to figure out how you can help fulfill your duties? Like identify Kilcif’s loot so that we can be more effective in combat? Trying to figure out how to use your magic to make Kilcif mentally stronger so that again we are more effective as a party?

There's a reason I use smileys on posts. And it isn't to make them offensively sarcastic or something. The comment you quoted was not meant to be of any offense, it was joke-like. Hey, I know that only a half-blind, clobbered gnome with strength of 4 and a dragon on his tail would have left the pile of treasure just lie there! And I'm perfectly aware that there was 50-50 chance of Kilcif coming straight to the party or choosing the wrong way. The comment was more like IC remark from the point of which I didn't know the forementioned facts. If it came out looking offensive, then as I said, I'm sorry. I'n not a native english speaker, I can make mistakes, and text isn't probably the best way to add emotion to.

Quertus has no problem with Identifying Kilcif's items, all the comments I've made about "taxes" and "fees" have been jokes. If Quertus would require money from Kilcif, he would require it from everybody else. He doesn't have any need for costly material components to be used in Identification anymore, so it doesn't cost him anything. Quertus can, has, and will continue to use his spells in most effective ways possible, which would seem to include casting Mind Blank on Kilcif when he accuires 8th levels spells. The remark that it would cost something was, again, meant as a joke. Frankly, I've been constantly amazed by the comments of how Kilcif doesn't trust Quertus enough to identify the items by him. This might have had something to do with my OOC comments, but I assure that IC Quertus has nothing against Kilcif. Besides, as I said earlier, I consider him more Lawful that Chaotic.

Indeed theirs a lot of posts to read...

Post numbers: 531, 532, 534,

There's also my post, which is done after you, because I was sleeping when you posted and didn't have a chance to post before you did. The post Includes Quertus casting Detect Magic at the body, which he would have done before the corpse was tossed away (and looted) by Kilcif. It would of course be debatable whether Kilcif would have been allowed to take the dagger after Quertus notices that it was magical (and still on the corpse), but that doesn't really matter. That's again the rather annoying timeline problem with board games. I understood that all the loot from the Illithid corpse was taken by the party as whole. There are magical auras of the items (including the dagger's) in the post 532, so I figured that Endur had assumed (correctly) that Quertus would cast Detect Magic at the corpse. But let's drop this thing too, it all began from some thousand posts ago and from misunderstanding, so there's not much point trying to figure it out anymore. Kilcif can keep the dagger.

I check the Ooc first when I get home from work, and hadn't seen that as-of-yet.

If you woud have looked back at my Edit, you would have seen the changes.

I posted before you had edited the post, so my post now looks like it's little out-of-place. Just was a bit surprised of: "Yeah, I'm just a poor Kripp. No money, no."

Brother Shatterstone - Sorry, I misread that post about staking Dorina.

:shrugs: it happens no big deal. To be honest I don't really remember any incidents with you that caused me grief and flooded Endur’s inbox with emails.

But let's drop this thing too, it all began from some thousand posts ago and from misunderstanding, so there's not much point trying to figure it out anymore.

Again I couldn't agree more. The Subject is done and over.

4) To give everyone time to think about what they want to accomplish with this game;

For Quertus to be able to stand somewhere high in Maerimyda, shouting: "I have the powah!" and show his middle finger at the Balor. And survive after that of course...

5) To give everyone time to figure out how or whether they want to invade Maerimydra, Shadowdale, or some other place.

Quertus wants to capture to the caravan, and check out at least Lich's Mire and maybe Glourgoth's Chasm. Probably. The invasion of Maerimyda happens when Matron orders so.

It was really a 'Hi, I'm Kripp. You worthless Drow had better cough up some dough for healing wands, 'cause mine is for me 'Bloop!'

Speaking of which, I outlined what I could make with the time allowed, should someone wish to put up the cash...

A Cure Mod Wounds and a Cause Mod Wounds 30 charges each.

I'll have to foot the XP (I don't mind), but Kripp needs some 'party cash' to the sum of 2,700GP
That will give both the living andthe undead some much needed Healing.
SOmeone let me know if you want the Wands, if not, I will be shifting my money a biy, since I will have time to make myself a Wand or two instead.

Oh, my. I apparently need to read the *entire* OOC thread before opening my big mouth. Man, I miss Serpenteye. I was wondering why Endur took over the Matron in the last few IC posts, but I figured it was just the Morcane personality took over so strongly that Serpenteye had no choice but follow along. Now that I know the real deal, I agree with Xael complaining about Iron-Fisted DM. Anyway, perhaps too late, but sorry to see you go, and I really hope you come back soon. You did a great job, in my eyes.

As for all this talk about killing the Matron, let's not forget that Narcelia is possibly . . . maybe . . . well, probably not . . . out there trying to find her way back. Then what's a second daughter to do? OOC, Narcelia has had thoughts of killing the Matron ever since the possession incident. I never brought them up IC because it would get her (Narcelia) killed, and I never brought them up OOC because I like the threat the Matron is to her own House, and because I didn't want Serpenteye to lose her job. I actually kind of thought Serpenteye (and Endur) had a Master Plan, as it were.

Grand Scheme: The Matron devolves into dangerously intelligent insanity. The kids decide to a) ignore her, or b) bump her off, both to their peril. If a), then: the Matron gets pissed and a whole lotta heads roll, probably including the Matron's. If b), then: hopefully only the Matron gets it. Narcelia (were she still around) becomes Matron Millithor. She starts taking advice from her loving relations and someone else ends up being the power behind the House. As it is, Carcelon now becomes Matron and probably does a better job than Narcelia would. Hm . . . (Sorry, rambling thoughts make ridiculous posts.)

 

[Serpenteye]

Thanks , but please don't blame Endur for my desiscion. He may be iron-fisted, but that just means I'll have to grow a thicker skin. He's still a great DM, and I'm lucky to have played in this game with him.
-
I can almost guarantee that if you make a serious attempt to kill the Matron there will be a lot of Wailing (of the Banshee variant) and gnashing of teeth .

 

[Endur]

Oh, just because I'm taking a hiatus from posting on a regular basis, doesn't mean that everyone else has to take a hiatus. Please feel free to continue to make posts.

 

[Seonaid]

Hey Serpenteye, no worries. I think you did a great job, and don't blame anyone for anything (well, except for myself for my prolonged absence).

And who said anything about *me* making a serious attempt to kill the Matron? <insert sweet smile here> That's what flunkies are for.

Narcelia is going to have a series of dreams (I'm not sure how many yet), so I'm definitely going to be posting during the hiatus. I have a lot to make up for.

I wonder... What kind of spell would be required of Torellan to get over his 'physical problems'? Polymorph could handle it, but I doubt Quertus is willing to prepare it just so Torellan can have fun. Maybe a cantrip with a short duration?
