Puppy-Kicking PCs, OOC, part 2

[Brother Shatterstone]

Sorry to dissapoint. Am I being squeamish on portaying evil? Maybe. But I think giving you guys any terribly evil adversaries would just make you guys look too "good". I'd rather give your PCs more mundane or "goody-goody" adversaries, so you can show how evil people deal with it.

All very good points. Though, Accalon at this point is very intrested in protecting the girls so my concearns about knuckle breaking johns are very IC for Accalon. (Yeah something like that... )

And I have no real-world fire fighting experience, so something about it will probably seem way off, so I'll apologize in advance for that too.

None sense! You've done a wonderful job! I don't think his gutlant would have been hot enough to do any serious damage, aka perminate damage, to Bea, though the heat could easily have surpised her.

And nothing you posted seemed beyond what a fantasy character could know.

Well hopefully that contained in the last post... Not to sure if it did though. Fire moves in logical ways. It's easy for it to travel upward than downwards and it will also spread wherever it can.

The room that's on fire has boundaries, to the left, to the right, and the hallway. (The window leads to the exterior and is its own boundary.) It also has to more boundaries, above and it below it.

Now a fire needs four things to burn: heat, oxygen, combustibles, and chemical chain.

Obviously in a fantasy environment you’re not going to find anything that is going to cancel out the chemical reaction of fire. (PKP, works like this.)

Removing the combustibles is an option so the liquor went out the window and the bed went into the hallway.

Heat, this is where water comes in, it cools off an object where it takes longer to catch on fire and also can lower the temperature so much that the object simply won’t catch fire.

Suppressing the oxygen doesn’t sound like it would be available in the fantasy world but this is how sand works, it cuts the fire off from its beloved oxygen.

Anyhow going back to the room at hand, if the heat from the fire intestine enough the fire can “jump” to another room if something flammable is within reach and if the heat radiating is higher than it’s flashpoint.

Anyhow, that enough rambling I don’t want to help create a fire that simply cannot be put out with fantasy equipment. (At least not without the spell produce water.)

Telsar, I got Accalon updated. (Removed the Potions that got used) and I updated his gold and expenditures. Here's the list I think it's all of them:
8 GP 12 hours with Loni
5 GP Clara (might be a bit more.)
4 GP Loni and Jovana

Let me know if I missed something...

Looks right to me. Keep it up and Brie can afford that dental work she needs.

BTW, are people updating their character sheets with the money from Brie and other sources, or the magic items some people found (Alev found a wand, Gwyn found a crossbow bolt, as I recall)?

I imagine after saving her boarding house from a celetrial and now is now in the processes of doig the same for a fire that he's going to be owed some freebees.

Besides if I were Brie, I wouldn't invest in anything that long term.

Telsar, hey just to confirm, we are going to do split time with Accalon right?

(With the group and also continue with before the group or will a group linkup be dumb luck?)

You're reading my mind, I was just about to make a post here asking about it. The meeting where everyone gets together, and Aligor presumably shows them the map to the ruins is just about here, and Accalon and T'aria still have RPing to do. With Accalon, I know Modrin will want to talk with him, Brie will want to talk with him, and he probably still has things he wants to say to Loni and/or Beatrice. We really, really at least need to get to Brie talking with you, since, if she has a 'job' for everyone, you'd tell them at the meeting. So I think I'll have Accalon and T'aria show up just a little bit late, as late as winds up reasonable, to give time for as much RPing as possible. Then we'll have Accalon and T'aria there, with simultaneous flashbacks to any other RPing they're doing.

Did all that make any sense?

 

[Brother Shatterstone]

Makes perfect sense, GFA should be back tomorrow also...

As for Modrin, I have no doubt he has more than a few questions for Accalon... I wonder if he will get blamed for such a fire...

Then again the glass bottle and the broken window might exonerate him.

I was going to finish the fire and setup Accalon's attempt for avoiding such questions while giving him a chance to talk to Brie, and maybe Loni too.

(He'll use the filth from the smoke and fire that is upon him and his clothes to get a chance to take a bath and get his cloths laundered... I assume that a whorehouse would have a place where clients can get bathed by pretty naked women, and also the ladies would do there own laundry or at least communal duties of it.)

So either tell me OOC to finish the fire or just update IC and I will do the above myself.

Okay, I am back... I read the thread, but there was a lot to catch up on so if I miss something let me know....

RE: Posts with being in two different time periods.
I'd be willing to try it, but I think it would be difficult to keep reprecussions from happening. I dunno. Anyway, we can try it if ya want.

RE: T'aria's plans.
Well, taking over the criminal underground here (or at least becoming a big name within it) is something T'aria would be all for. She really is a city girl... err, fiend... and wandering around some ruins killing things and looking for treasure that may not even be there is not high on her to-do list. Also, I don't think she is aware of where the group was supposed to meet? Although I might have missed that post.
Anyway, I do recall her telling Gwyn to let her know if he wants her to meet up with him.
I am assuming that she would know that Accalon would stay in town (the whorehouse is here, after all, not out in the wilderness ).
So... depending on RPing goes, she may head out to the ruins with the group or stay in town to work on the criminal element.

Also, if you as DM would like to keep the group together, let me know and I can have her decide that the heat from the guard is too much. But as BS mentioned, I tend to try not to let OOC knowledge (i.e., who is a PC and who is not) from affecting my IC actions. BUT - I am willing to work with the DM to find and IC reason to keep the PCs together if the DM wishes. And in this case, it would not be difficult at all to do so.

Good to have you back

We'll probably have to do this, if we want everyone to at least get together to decide if they are all going or not, but the 'flashbacks' will be entirely roleplaying (well, that's my intention. A PC can always decide to start smacking NPCs around if they want to ), so hopefully there won't be any inconsitancies.

You haven't missed anything. This group never plans a thing , so I'm generally saying the 'planning' went on behind-the-scenes, and they more than likely told you they'd be meeting with the dwarf the next morning to find out where the ruins are.

I absoultely do not want to force the PCs together. PCs should do whatever fits their character. In a tabletop game, keeping the PCs together is generally necessary so everyone can have fun at the same time, but in PBP, seperate goals and actions seem to work fine. I've mentioned to BS in email, if some of the PCs want to stay in town while others do the ruins, I might split it off into seperate games. Maybe recruit a new player or two if either game seems 'light'. So, if T'aria wants to stay in town and join or create a thieves guild (or anything else), please do.

Well *I* simply cannot beheld accountable for Accalon’s actions if someone start to smack one of the girls around… especially one of *his* girls.

Accalon will also need to do some shoping... Herbs and stuff.

Oh! If the not so gentle john is around in the hallway after the fire Accalon would drop him the 2 GP as his "refund" and tell him the girl has had enough for the night.
