Eyes at the Threshold (ooc and questions IX)

[OGRE MAGE]

Dang! These prostitutes can really change clothes quickly.

Must be professionals.

[Paladin]

Hey, sorry for my absence. Due to some unexpected changes out here in the "real world," I will be unable to post for a couple of weeks. Apologies to those on missions with me. Please NPC me or whatever you need to do.

[Inferno]

Thanks for the heads up, Pal. I hope all is well and that you're back with us soon.

Dang! These prostitutes can really change clothes quickly.

Must be professionals.

It's known that in Medieval times they wore Leslie Nielsen style tear-away outfits with other outfits underneath.

Interesting factoid: (I found this online, so it MUST be true) Leslie Nielsen had no sense of humor. That's why he was so good in his comedic roles- he never got the jokes, so he was able to play it straight all the time.

[Scott308]

He was a well-known practical joker who liked to prank people with a hand-controlled fart machine. His tombstone even references that, saying "Let 'er rip."

[OGRE MAGE]

I will be away from the boards for a couple days, and might have some spotty internet connections for the next couple of weeks.

I will try to keep up with the game as best I can, but expect a considerably slower pace from me until around the 20th. Please NPC accordingly.

[Inferno]

Thanks for the notice, OM.

If Urdur is close enough to Mouser, and if they seem to be secluded enough that no one will notice him casting a spell, Urdur suggests to Mouser that he make him Invisible.

Sorry Socratic. There was a crowd of unsavory men outside the Cross Keys, and then you all split the party.

[Inferno]

And the mere fragment of one of my favorite RPG maps of all time is courtesy Bob Bledsaw and Bill Owen's classic 'City State of the Invincible Overlord', published by Judge's Guild in 1977.

Is there anyone else in the alley besides Urdur, Jerome, and Bold Dell? I'm considering an attempt at Hypnotism to get him to divulge what he knows.

[Inferno]

Is there anyone else in the alley besides Urdur, Jerome, and Bold Dell?

No.

[Inferno]

Is there anyone else in the alley besides Urdur, Jerome, and Bold Dell?

No.

...not that Urdur could tell at that moment.

[Inferno]

Faron

Constitution 12 [1d20+4]=3+4=7 I assume that fails and Faron is blinded. If not, he'll withdraw rather than attacking.

Mouser curses at the fiery blast. He quickly recovers and tries to pull Faron out of the alley.

Con 11 [1d20]=20

Hey guys,
An Attribute Check is sort of the opposite of a saving throw. You want to roll low; in this case, your CON or lower. The higher the attribute, the easier it is to make the roll. So Mouser fails critically, and Faron saves.

Never part of AD&D 1e, Attribute Checks were included in adventure modules since 1979 and codified in Moldvay's Basic rules.

[Inferno]

Hi Socratic,

Hypnotism's spell description refers to the spell, Suggestion which limits commands to two sentences or less. I went with your first two sentences.

[Urson]

Socratic: Sorry to leave Urdur hanging!

[SocraticLawyer]

Socratic: Sorry to leave Urdur hanging!

No worries! Paladins gonna paladin.....

Hopefully the invisibility works....

[Inferno]

Hey everyone,

Suddenly, the night is pierced by the harrowing screams of a woman...

And on that chilling cliffhanger, we'll pause the game for the holidays.

Thanks everyone for another fun year of gaming. Best holiday wishes to you and your families. See you on the other side.



The stars are right! Merry winter solstice! Ai! Ai!
