The Romance of the River Kingdoms

[Theroc]

Of course. Every game needs a good Shillelagh!

I apologize to those who play in more then one game with me who will see this more then once. Also, sorry for hijacking the thread for somethin like this. I know most people here are americans (and thus accross the world), but I know there are europeans and others that might be interested.

If you want great Mediterannean summer on the sea come and visit Croatia, it's ranked among 5 cleanest in the world with over thousand islands and history of 1500 years. All within driving distance for Vienna or Rome. It's that small country accross the sea north of Italy.

Check my site url=http://www.conso-casa.com for accomodation in capital or links about Croatia. Adriatic accomodation on the sea are per request.

Just a note, normally I do the dice rolls and report the result. I don't mind if you use Invisible Castle as it saves me some work, but for the likes of Hide and Move Silently I prefer to do the rolls myself and leave them unreported. This also goes for other skills where the outcome is uncertain, usually including Appraise, Bluff, Decipher Script, Diplomacy, Disguise, Forgery, Knowledge, Listen, Search, Sense Motive, Sleight Of Hand, some Spellcraft and Spot.

As this is a non-hostile situation and the modifiers are so high anyway, I'll let it slide for this occassion.

Alright. Sorry about that, I wasn't sure if I should just ask you to roll or do it myself... (games vary so often), so I figured while I was at it I'd pop it up. I'll try to remember to leave rolls up to you henceforth.

And in anycase, don't we need to reroll every so often for things like MS and Hide?

 

[Neurotic]

Sorry. Habbit. Feel free to ignore any result you think you should roll. I'll try to remember.

 

[Dr Simon]

No worries, it's not a big deal.

Theroc - I don't know offhand if you need to check at regular intervals, but for those kind of skills a result only matters if they are put to the test.

If you prefer making your own rolls, feel free to IC for attacks, initiative etc., I'm not bent on absolute control!

"Do you think the apes are the cursed ones?"

LOL, you make it sound just like a Conan story!

(Edit: In the one Conan anthology I've got, there must be at least three stories involving the inhabitants of a lost city being cursed with the form of giant carnivorous apes)

Although...

I must admit that I do like using the likes of RE Howard, Fritz Leiber, Jack Vance et al. for ideas. They are so much more the original spirit of D&D than the post-Dragonlance attempts at massive story-telling campaigns/adventure paths.

"Growling Ape...what is best in life?"

(^_^)

 

[Walking Dad]

To crush coconuts, see them brought before you, and to hear the lamentation of the ones who didn't get one. (Ape liking coconuts)

 

[Walking Dad]

Yes. Preparation. Party waits while combination of small ape and hunting tiger (dynamic duo, but much more subtle) enters for scouting purposes. Their footfalls lighter then shadows touch and their eyes and ears as sharp as dragons...

Not small... I are baboon! (does anyone catch the reference?)
