[OOC] Into the World

[Walking Dad]

You can use "survival" untrained.

DC:10
Get along in the wild. Move up to one-half your overland speed while hunting and foraging (no food or water supplies needed). You can provide food and water for one other person for every 2 points by which your check result exceeds 10.

If the characters are moving at half-speed and we are allowed to take 10, most of our characters should be able to live by hunting and foraging.

Edit: Only if this is not against the spirit of this campaign.

Thanks WD, I was just about to mention that. Yes, the survival skill can be used untrained.

However, just to add to the Taking 10 on a survival check only means you've found enough food for now. If you guys have an exciting day, or there is inclement weather, then your not going to be able to take a 10, since your distracted.

I'll point out that my character wouldn't be able to Take 10, since he has a Wisdom penalty.

Sorry guys, I got home from late from work, and my wireless card started acting up. Come to find out, the other wireless devices in the house had been acting up all night. Finally, after about an hour of debugging, the wireless access point would only stay up for about five minutes.

It didn't owe me anything, actually, so I wasn't all that bad. Its about 10 years old, and a b router at that. It was time to upgrade. Heading off to Wal-mart with the wife and toddler who won't sleep before midnight, I found the shelf empty at 11:45PM. One of the stock girls called around, and found out they have a massive shortage of the wireless router I wanted. She found a store 15 miles away that had one, so off I went. I got to the other wal-mart, 30 minutes away from my house now, and bought the last WRT54G in the county at 12:30 AM.

Getting home, I have to punk out my network, because the router was stomping my SOHO as they had the same IP. I had to reconfigure the router's settings, enable WEP, as I didn't feel like dealing with WPA Supplicant on Ubuntu. By the time I got my critical machines back live, my workstation and laptop, it was 2:30AM. I still have a bedroom desktop wireless card to set up, and my basement network's relay to get operational, but that will have to wait.

I'm really sorry guys, I planned on making a really critical post during Lost, but found myself working on my home network, which sucks after working on my work network all day.

Anyhoo, to make a long story short, I know too late, I'll be posting up sometime tomorrow. I'm too tired to make an IC tonight. Take care all, and expect a post shortly.

Looking forward to it, no need to apologize as posts have been coming pretty quickly to date.

P.S. What did you think of Lost? Personally I thought it was pretty good, but all the 'cliffhanger' moments (which I won't spoil if anyone hasn't watched yet) were pretty predictable.

[sblock=Lost Episode Spoiler]I tought the flash back, intertwined with the flash forward was brilliant! It was a fairly decent episode, I enjoyed it. I liked how Hurley came out to see Sun. Hurly is the best.

FYI, someone who can read Korean posted on a Lost messageboard that Jin's date of death on the tombstone was September 22, 2004, the date of the crash of Flight 815.[/sblock]

Hi bytor4232, how do we do my little "solo" in the stone circle?

 

[bytor4232]

Hi bytor4232, how do we do my little "solo" in the stone circle?

Hm. Why don't you write up a short story as to what happened. It could take me a while to come up with a dialogue for you, and I think you know better than I do about what is awaiting you at that stone circle.
