OOC: Chat, Natter, Gossip, and Kvetch

[Zhym]

Gotcha. I've updated my post. Thunk will try to scare the "assistant hairdressers" away without "using" the other magic item.

[rossik]

i will risk it and run to get the device

[Zhym]

Think already grabbed the device (or is trying to).

[rossik]

lets roll initiative, then

[Pulpatoon]

Although said in jest, I want to be clear that I don't check initiative between PCs. Knave has only us-or-them initiative. Beyond that, it could be broken down by Dexterity scores, but I default to the order of posting. I may exercise some leeway when I feel the circumstances call for it.

If we ever find ourselves in a position where two PCs are competing for first action in a meaningful way, I would probably handle that as a contested DEX check.

[Zhym]

Sorry to ninja the action. I'd been discussing Thunk doing something with the magic items and I figured that it was probably worth posting an action as opposed to waiting.

There are still the scrolls, though, which might be useful and which Thunk can't use.

[Pulpatoon]

Okay, we're updating today! Rossik, do you have an action to post?

[rossik]

oh well. looks like things in forums are just like that then. no problem, i am the one the get used
(i had a similar case at a DCC game)

Rossik, I'm not sure what the above is referring to. It sounds like you're frustrated with something, but I'm not sure what it is. I hope you'll tell me, because I'd like to address it. We're small enough a group that there's no reason for us to not be able to accommodate everybody.

Also, could you please describe how Gori uses the scroll to defend himself? Is he using it as a melee weapon? Is he casting from it? If so, who is he targeting, and which of the two scrolls did he grab?

[rossik]

normal game frustration, nothing personal

do i describe it here? if so:

Gori jumps to get a scroll and read it aloud against the acolytes! "Take that, Rebel scum!" (scroll number one)

[mjulius]

Well, I’m glad I flushed someone with victory.

[Pulpatoon]

Death & Dismemberment: [1d6] = 1, [1d4] = 1 So, if I'm reading right, when/if Tarka eventually regains consciousness, his STR will have dropped to 11/+1 and he has a lasting injury... a bit of the glaive tip broke off in his chest and he'll no longer be able to sneak through metal-detectors or something.

Correct! Congratulations on surviving your near-death experience!

Also, the would takes up one item slot on your inventory. But you're not carrying much, at present, so it's not an immediate concern.

[Zhym]

Wither is left in a heap, on the floor of the operating room. Tarka is a similar heap in the northern corridor.

Oops! I totally forgot about those two! Sorry, mjulius and Kinkajou.

Pulpatoon, does the new room also have an exit at either end?

[rossik]

does we have time to get them back? what about lil' Karas?

[mjulius]

Wither is left in a heap, on the floor of the operating room.

I've been down some time now...

Also, I'm about to leave on a three week vacation and when I get back I have a pretty busy autumn. I think that I'm going to use this as a reasonable time to lay my cards on the table.
Pulpatoon, your game (as usual) is wonderful! Perhaps I'll have the opportunity to get in on another someday. I've enjoyed gaming with all of you immensely.

I'll see you around the internet!

There is no additional exit from the room you are currently in. It's a dead-end!

Lil' Karas is tucked in Dr. Gori's coverall.

You're welcome to go retrieve Tarkas and Wither, but you'll have to go through a bunch of decapitates.

Michael, Thanks for playing! Enjoy your vacation! I'll be sure to be in touch next time I start up a game!

(Guys, this means that Wither's spellbooks are up for grabs!)

[Zhym]

Anyone have thoughts on what we should do now? I don't like our odds if we stay in this room and try to fight off the entire temple. But fighting our way out of the temple doesn't seem too likely either.

[rossik]

ohhh...i thought it was only two guuys

[Zhym]

That was just the acolytes. One of those got beheaded, the other was killed by the antenna-heads. Leaving a whole nuch of antenna-heads between us and escape.

[Pulpatoon]

Apologies that it is taking me so long to update. Unexpected work-push. More brutality should be forthcoming!
