General Chatter

[hedonismbot]

Just getting caught up on the latest in IC. Is there a setting to show more than 20 posts per page? I can't find it in my user preferences. It would make going through these threads a lot easier!

[Rex]

I have never tried to show more, but looking in the user control and profile I don't see anything. Maybe ask in the admin help section.

Every full 100 coins counts as 1 item. So each lockbox is 10 encumbrance.
The ruby holy symbol does not count against encumbrance.
There are two stacks of 10 incense sticks each. Each stack is 1 encumbrance.

[Rex]

Do any of us recognize the holy symbol?

[sulldawga]

I see three votes for continuing down the long tunnel.

Let me know how you're dealing with encumbrance first, or if you're going to put that off for the time being, and then I'll update.

See latest update in IC.

Note that coins in amounts under 100 don't count toward encumbrance. So Ciarra's 34 sp in carrying around money is zero encumbrance, for example.

[Rex]

Thanks

[Enoch]

I believe we still have some coins in a coffer to pick up? I can probably stow some gear and carry more if that's needed. I need to double-check my encumbrance as well.

If we need room and no one wants the war robes, I'll be hiding them until we come back.

That Lockbox puts Sleepy at 18 with a 13 strength which would be a speed of 15 - effectively half speed. Dropping his torches would put him at 20.

[sulldawga]

might be worthwhile to leave it in place for the short term and then load up the mule outside... assuming nothing's stolen or eaten it.

[Marullus]

Gars is fitting one coffer. We can grab the other two later as the GM says, supposing we win. Your IC decisions.

Lavin has magic platemail (enc 1) and is offering war robes (ac 14, enc 3).
- Ciarra can put away one of her four weapons and put it on, going from Unarmored (AC 13) to AC 17.
- If Sleepy can reconfigure to get 3 Ready slots, he could get to AC 15 from the war robes and then offer his buff coat to Ciarra which also gets her to AC 15.
- There is an important threshold at AC 16, if you get there you are immune to most shock damage (which tend to effect AC 15 or lower).

The War Robe isn't the best option for Sleepy since he'd also have to stow both of his melee weapons but that added armor class would be nice. I'm thinking we should hash this out when next we have a break in the action or if we have to figure out how to carry out these lockboxes. For now Sleepy has stashed his in the room where we found it.

[sulldawga]

I am going to move the action along but feel free to stop me if you want to make changes to your armor. Just do it quickly because things are about to get interesting.

[Rex]

We can figure it out after we deal with the necromancer.

[The_Wanderer]

Oh lord....I had this whole post up but Rex just beat me to it with almost the exact opposite.... This is what it was originally:


Sleepy angles around the others and raises his hand. "Hello! A thousand and one apologies for the intrusion! My friends and I stumbled upon this area quite by chance. I am Sleepy...both by nature and by name." He smiles at this turn of phrase. Clearly it is not the first time he has used it. He edges forward, holding out a hand to shake hands in open friendship.

"I'm not sure if you realize but these formerly living compatriots of yours tend to attack on sight. You ought to be careful. At least that one is still alive..." He nods to Daravek.

Reminder: Sleepy is Well-Met

Level 1: Reaction rolls made by those the party meets are given a +1 bonus so long as you are present, whether or not you do the talking. Even hostile encountered beings will usually give the party a round to parley before attacking unless they’re in ambush or have a clear reason for immediate violence.

[Rex]

LOL, sorry about that. I have a hair trigger when it comes to anything even remotely resembling a necromancer.

[sulldawga]

I kinda figured talking wasn't going to work here but I wanted to let you all make that choice for yourself.

Hedonism, don't feel like you have to sit this one out. You have all of your gear and I factored you into the fight when trying to calculate the competition.

[hedonismbot]

Ah! Thanks for clarifying I'm combat ready. I will still leave my first action as is - I think the first thing to do when spears start flying is get away from the line of fire!

[Marullus]

Reminder: Sleepy is Well-Met

Yep! I was excited to see that. Gars has Cha 18 and Diplomatic Grace (reroll 1s) as well. Between us, we should greet people well. (I don't want to hog or prevent, so I left the negative CHA character do the talking last time... it went poorly. )

An important point, though... do want to play that first-to-post wins? If Sleepy was really committed to negotiation, what's our procedure for pausing to talk OOC?
