OOC 2 - More Rambling, Ranting, and Such

[rtdersch]

We're out here...somewhere.

My summer of misery continues. Brutal work schedule, brutal home schedule. This will be a summer for the ages!

[hedgeknight]

I hear you Ray - I feel like I've been run over by a truck.
Started a new work out routine on Monday (what was I thinking!!), and then helped lay sod on our football field on Tuesday, plus more last night. Can't lift my arms to comb my hair (what little I have left) - so damn sore I'm not hungry and can't really sleep. Thus, my lack of posting this week.

Apologies fellers...but I'm feeling all 50 of my years this week...
(Anybody got a tissue?)

Alright, enough whining > back to the game! Time to kill someone...er...something!

That's why unlike most people my goal in life is to have as little to do as possible. This week was a little hectic because my birthday was yesterday so everyone in the family wants to go do something.

[hedgeknight]

Well, sure they do, AQ > happy birthday, man!

Now, it's time to do a post for Oggle and the Riders!

Thanks Hedge, be kind to Oggle it's my birthday week after all hehe.

(*Sigh* no love for my character from the dice roller in this game...)

For me either > I hate this f***ing dice roller!
I'm going to use Invisible Castle from now on > and you fellers are free to do the same!

I don't know what you guys are talking about I love that beautiful golden orb in the sky. Proper sacrifices and prayers are a requirement we've been over this already I thought!

Man, Oggle's plot hook sounds cool.

Though... I do hate fighting undead.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!

I haven't been following it. Not that I don't want to, but I don't want to get any information that perhaps the rest of the group isn't supposed to know. I hope Oggle pulls through though!

[AQuebman]

I hate the undead too damn bastards. Should be fun, where there's undead there's necromancers or lich's hehe.

It's just a different story line. Hedge never said anything about not reading it and there really isn't any reason NOT to, in any case, as long as you can follow the relatively easy task of not meta gaming any of the info contained therein if it ever does begin to involve the rest of us.

Missing out on a good story!

Agreed I read the thread you all are in and have been enjoying it quite a bit. As Alethan said its all a matter of separating in and out of character knowledge. I even mentioned Nokrugh recently...ive been thinking of my half orc buddy lol.

Well in Oggles absence Nok has started to pick up the slack, finally. The US roller has been pleasantly accommodating this last encounter so that's helped a lot. I hope someday Nok and Oggle get to travel together again, with a bit of experience between them they could make a formidable front line. Add in Cole and...

Yeah but by that point magic users will be far superior in every way Still hope we can get together again soon.

[AQuebman]

Perhaps the US Dice Roller has a built in balancing mechanism so it won't allow Nokrugh and Oggle to roll well together.

Okay, DM, I need a ruling on illusions here, since 2e illusions are so flexible. Would it be possible to cast an illusion of the exact same hillside, only empty, and then use that illusion to cloak the movements of people moving through it?

Related: just how far are we from the tor, and how far would we have to travel out in the open? ie: if it's a half mile, then there's no point in bothering.

I think it will work...if I'm understanding correctly what you wish to do. You're about 200 yards or less from the tor itself (from the pic I posted a couple of pages back in the game thread). So there is some open ground to cover before that.
Another idea is to create an illusion of the Ogres and wolves leading you all in as prisoners - that would likely get you inside too. Your call.

Here's my question for you:
Oh! Oh, will you? Could you? Oh! Oh, but are you a clever enough wizard to manage it?

[Hoondatha]

Okay, thanks. It's that distance that's the killer part, but it's all good to know. I like the prisoner idea, though. I'll steal that one.

Now, why would I do that?
