OoC Thread - Strife in Sokara - A solo game for Brother Shatterstone

[Jarval]

That looks marvelous.

It is rather nice, isn't it? I'm glad you suggested it, as it actually makes things a lot easier for me when I go back to review a previous post. If I know Hestia said something two or three posts ago (for example), I can now just skim read the orange text until I find it. Very nifty

Thanks for fixing it and hopefully my work will not be so predominant in my thoughts for hear on out and my posts will be better. (Bad, to horrible week of work.)

Hey, your posts have been fine so far. Hope work's a bit better for you next week.

Speaking of work, I may go into patching posting mode between now and Friday. I've got another assignment to work on, and while it's not quite the rush that my last one was, it's still a fairly large bit of work. I'll let you know if I'm going to vanish for a few days, but I don't think I'm going to be able to post more than once or twice a day between now and Friday.

I'm going to replace the exulted feat "Gift of Grace" with the Forester feat.

OK, noted

But theirs a small chance I might take on an extra flaw to keep the "Gift of Grace" feat as I really see this feat being core to Brystasia but then again its my fourth feat and I’m still at level one so I have no real complaints.

Anyhow I found these home made flaws on WotC website:

If you want another flaw, by all means take one. All three of those flaws look fine to me, although I think Easily Distracted is a touch on the weak side.

On other maters, will you be posting Ged’s and Hestia’s character sheets in the RG anytime soon?

In the next day or two, hopefully. They're pretty much stated up, but I'm still finalising their equipment choices.

Oh I do own a cat and this one if you’re a plastic bag then you better beg god for mercy upon your soul and if your something alive your probably safe.

Ah, different from the kitten I knew who decided that people's fingers were fun to play with. This got a lot less fun for me as his teeth got sharper...

Sad but true I've had two baby squirrels get "treed" in my apartment by my cat and both where rescued with no harm to their bodies. (One even let me pet him for a minute or two. )

So, your cat's got the chase idea down just fine, it's just what to do after that has it a bit confused?

Note: I don't condone violence to squirrels or other small critters I'm simply say "sad but true" about my cats hunting abilities.

I figured that's what you meant

Anyhow, a map? That's simply to cool. Its been a long time since I've played in a game that had one.

Glad you like it It's pretty simple to put together maps like that one, and given it's only using a few colours the file size stays reasonably small. I'm well within the 100k limit that EN World will allow me to attach to each post.

Indeed that's one of the reasons why I like it some much.

Thanks I guess they haven't been that bad... They could probably be written more elegantly but at least they are in character. Next week could go either way on for me... The two bosses are gone but we have allot of junk on the table to do. If Monday goes well, and that leads to a good Wednesday then the week will be cake.

No! I'm about to pull back this dread curtain of doom to face something so vile that I don't know what it is... Honesty, thanks for telling me and I totally understand.

If you want another flaw, by all means take one. All three of those flaws look fine to me, although I think Easily Distracted is a touch on the weak side.

You know, I've never once considered taking a 10 on a check. Honestly never. I never really saw it as a good flaw for her even though with my play style I would get the most out of it. Which is very contradictive to what the book, and what the opinions of those at WotC are. Anyhow she might be naive and others might distract her or the world around her but the randomness of the roll should be more than enough to cover this.

With slender frame, err small frame, right now I'm worried about carrying the equipment I need to adventure with. In most games this is no longer an issue after magic is discovered. Either you, or someone in your party, finds something that enchants your strength, or you find something that makes item transportation easier but with slender frame your still look at taking the combat penalties for the rest of your career...

Before the size penalties Brystasia was stronger than the general population and she had a natural grapple bonus, now she against the general population she has a -3 to grapple with, and since most grapplers are stronger than normal this makes for a more than fair flaw that will never fade and though I know this will be a risk I like the idea of it. (It's simply perfect.)

In the next day or two, hopefully. They're pretty much stated up, but I'm still finalising their equipment choices.

Sweet, I'll fix what equipment Brystasia owns and will also make a list of what equipment she took to the theater as know one would lug that much equipment around when your staying in the city and would probably have the chance to sleep at home and such.

Ah, different from the kitten I knew who decided that people's fingers were fun to play with. This got a lot less fun for me as his teeth got sharper...

Ouch, I know cats like that but Merlin is pretty skittish of the world around him... (He was a stray we go as an adoption. If I'm sitting down he's rubbing against my leg, if I'm staying and walking around, I'm 6'4 mind you, he's looking for the exist. (We've had him 3 years now and he has gotten better but it’s till noticeable.)

So, your cat's got the chase idea down just fine, it's just what to do after that has it a bit confused?

Indeed, the first squareel was treed in the appremtn for what he figure was 3 days. (cat was acting real goofy during it.) The other one I think got treed that morning but before I came home from my midshift.

Yeah I like it allot as it’s very nice and it’s functional and really what more can you ask for?

I edited my IC post some, but now I realize you didn't mention anything about stairs that lead to the top of the stage. Is their any?

How high is the stage anyway?

The stage is about three and a half feet high, and there's steps up to it on either side. I'll try to remember to put small but important details like that into my descriptions from now on

I think you did just fine as that's the way I saw it in my mind.

OOC: Tumble /7, and darn you got me good on that one

Let's just say this: it's a good thing Ged got won initiative, or I'd have been in need of a new NPC...

eek indeed! I was going to ask if they where 3rd level characters or not but that's been answered... Hopefuly a few prayers will be answered next.

I'm curious did you remember Ged's damage reduction on the previous attack? (If you didn't no big deal it sets up a dire scene its simply a reminder. )

Nope, both Ged and Hestia are 2nd level. I'll get some stats posted soon.

Oh yes, Ged's DR was taken into account, hence the whole tearing up the armour bit. This thing's bad news, that's for sure...

Sweet, that's good news... but bad at the same time...

Oh man, Brystasia in trouble... I would imagine that her AC is higher than Ged's but I know hit point wise she doesn't have nearly as many.

It's going to be a long panicked wait for me into the next update...
