I used Thieves Cant. No one else realised we were even communicating.

Oh ya! Nice save!

OM: How do you handle "alignment languages"? Are they actual languages, hand signals / gestures, some words, but not complete languages, or ?

[OGRE MAGE]

I don't think anyone has ever asked me that before.

I have always assumed that alignment tongues were more like a few words, phrases, and gestures, but not actually full languages. Only very basic communication would be possible using it.

It's sort of like a "s'up" nod, you know? Acknowledgement of a shared background, but no substantial conversation of any kind.

OM: Zefarrel had counted unfriendly gnomes & looked at how they were armed & armored. What did she see?

[ChubbyPixie]

It's time for the annual notice: starting tomorrow (Thursday) through Sunday I'll be at GaryCon . This will for sure mean less posting, and possibly no posting (last year I had big problems with wi-fi). I'll be back on track Sunday evening, though. Don't let Sprig drown, please.

Yep, sorry bout that.

I was hoping nobody would get too attached to them.

There are 7 gnomes in total. (not counting Sprig) They are dressed in leather armor and armed with shortswords, mostly. They each have a small patch on the backs of their jerkins that says, "Garls Gatherers" in bright red letters.

DUDE!!!

You will be at Garycon?

I too am going to Garycon!!!

We should totally try to get into a game together. (I packed extra Spotted Cow this year)


Is anyone else here going to Lake Geneva this weekend?

OM:
How many people could fit in the lifeboat? Not sure how big this thing is.

How much weight can I levitate with my boots?
Just checked & is a D20 to determine weight - should I roll or do you want to do?

[OGRE MAGE]

The lifeboat can hold 8 persons max. (10 if they were all small)

Yes, please make the weight allowance roll for the boots if you'd like.

[scottjen]

Boots weight [1d20] = 8
More complex macro didn't work, so just did the variable 1-20 which gives:
8*14+280 = 392 lbs

[OGRE MAGE]

Thanks! (please record that information somewhere in the notes on your sheet)

I am back in action today and will get a post up soon! Thanks for your patience, everyone!

[OGRE MAGE]

We are getting real close to kick-off for this one.

There are a few things I have noticed from the sheets that need a bit of sorting before we get there. Please have a look.

[OGRE MAGE]

I have added a few house rules and posting tips to the first page of this thread. Please read them over when you get a chance.

See I read the updated house rules before I read the new posts and a feeling of dread took over. I was 99% certain we'd be making a strength check and well...I think we all knew I wasn't going to make mine.

[ChubbyPixie]

Zefarrel uses her magic boots to rise out of the water. As she does so, she will grab Grossphil if possible. Once she has grabbed him, she will scream at him: Kick you legs like you are swimming to propel us to shore!!

I find the image this evokes both ridiculous and delightful.

[OGRE MAGE]

Me too!

I think this is already shaping up to be an entertaining group.
