The Rod of Seven Parts: Lanai Team OOC

[CanadienneBacon]

Well, I finished. Not fast, but I finished. I ran/walked it. It was the first road race I'd done in more than two years. I had a baby in September, so I figure I was doing pretty good just to finish that sucker. I'm kinda looking at the Honolulu Marathon for this December but that'll depend on whether we end up staying in Hawaii. We're getting out of the Navy this summer.

I saw you say the other day that you were running in SLC. How's that going for you?

Oh, I'm horrible at running. I'm more of a weight-lifting type. Cardio kills me. But i've been running about 3-4k at a time, 3-4 times a week. I plan to gradually improve that, but can't see myself ever topping 10k. I just don't like running enough to do that.


Oh, plus...we just got major snow, and are supposed to get a couple more storms in the next week. So that will break up my routine some, since I prefer to run outside.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Yeah, in my estimation running sucks the first five or six years you do it and then it seems to sort of settle on a person, at which point it no longer sucks, becomes easier, and you even get to craving it if you miss more than two days in a row. For some, that 5-6 year grace period is shorter. It wasn't for me. I've never been fast at distance running. I just sort of plod along. Perhaps if I'd given the Army more time I would've eventually gotten faster at the distance stuff. For now, however, I'm content to enjoy being at home, Mistress of my own ship here with the children and the house.

Who's the comedian who said, "Mama don't want you messin' with the deal she's got..."?

I do miss the snow though.

I had a look at my downstairs computer and after hunting around for my XP records, I couldn't find anything. I'm fairly certain I have not given out XP to you guys, but if you all could please sound off on whether I have or have not given it out, that would be helpful.

Levels come too slow in PbP, so all active players will be getting your level x 100 XP per month for active posting. This is in addition to any RP, bonus, or plain jane encounter XP that I award. I'll be backdating posting XP to December, so everyone'll have a minimum of 300 XP.

If you haven't pinged me via e-mail, now might be a good time. wlburford at hotmail dot com.

 

[Brain]

Yeah, no xp so far.

 

[CanadienneBacon]

Right on. I found my notes. I have not given out XP yet to date to this team. I'll be doing that post haste, so please check in via e-mail.

ooc: what she does depends on more detail. Are the stalactite creatures in her space? How big are they? If she thinks she can 5' step back and shoot her crossbow without provoking, she'll do that. If she doesn't think that's a good idea, then she'll draw the rapier while holding the crossbow in her off-hand, and attack one of them.

Arden's got one stalactite embedded tip down in her shoulder and it's oozing acid into her. By the way the acid feels, if she doesn't act fast to get that thing out of her shoulder, she's going to suffer next round.

The other two stalactites are embedded in the dirt floor of the cavern, tip down, but with a bit of their top still showing. Arden can see a bit of soft white underbelly and a pair of eyestalk appendages each on these two. They aren't going anywhere at the moment, so it's safe for Arden to move through any square they'd otherwise threaten. Likewise, shooting a bow from a mere 5 ft away isn't going to provoke an AoO because the two creatures are stuck in the dirt. These things are small in size and are in the squares around Arden. I'll modify the map accordingly and post the results to reflect the stalactite creatures' location.

Let me know if I can somehow provide more info. Can't think what else there would be, but I'm more than happy to answer any questions you all might have.

 

[Brain]

Ok, I edited my post. Thanks for the clarification.

 

[Rhun]

I'll try to email you today, CB.
