Wing and Sword: a d20 Modern military campaign [METAGAME]

[The Shaman]

By the way, have you done the right thing? By that I mean, have you given up on practical capitalism and your own business is in the gaming industry? Imagine being able to deduct the expenses of buying games and color printer cartridges and going to Origins and subscribing to MMORPGs from your taxes! (Of course with a four figure income you wouldn't have many taxes to pay in the first place.)

Nah, nothing so exotic - parks and recreation planning. Unfortunately the pay scale is about the same... :\

I haven't tried writing professionally for gaming - I don't have many saleable ideas, for one, and I don't want gaming to become "work" instead of leisure, for another. This is supposed to be FUN, damnit!

I picked up my first new client today! I can avoid the breadlines for another month! Woo-hoo!

Post coming tomorrow...

Marcel stands slightly behind Normand, his eyes sweeping over the area as he slowly follows.[/COLOR]

"Asps! Very dangerous. You go first!" - Sallah

And similarly, the exchange between Sandahl Bergman and Arnold Schwarzenegger in Conan the Barbarian outside the Temple of Set; something like:
"Do you know what dangers await within?"
"No."
"Good. You go first."

Gah. Once I get poisoned and die horribly, my new soldier will be a short nervous fella, very quick and with good aim.

Oh wait! I have a good Fort save! YAY!

I wouldn't worry too much - Cerastes cerastes venom digests tissue and red blood cells, prevents coagulation of the blood, and causes the kidneys to fail.

Hey, wait a second...I would worry about that!

Oh wait! I have a good Fort save! YAY!

The snake beat Normand's initiative, by the way, but at least Marcel was able to Spot it and avoid surprise.

Urk! That didn't go well.

Nice to hear things are off to a good start, Shaman. You've got mouths to feed!

 

[The Shaman]

Urk! That didn't go well.

You got lucky on the Spot check - I gave both characters a +4 circumstance bonus on Spot since they were warned the ground could be dicey, and that was still just enough. On Initiative however, the snake is +7 and I rolled well...

Nice to hear things are off to a good start, Shaman. You've got mouths to feed!

We banked most of my salary over the past year or so in anticipation of the lean months ahead, so we have some cushion, but yeah, it's nice to get off the ground on the first attempt.

 

[Barak]

With any luck, that snake will only get to attack once...

I'll wait until you post it's action before I do so, since what it does (and wether or not it succeeds) would change how Normand reacts.

You'll find out this evening...
