Session date: 07/Feb/2010 [17:59:58] * Joins: Livak1 (~Administr@1da97c9.a8c8d76.tn.comcast.net) [18:04:43] now, before we start: [18:04:51] what can people use equipment-wise? [18:05:28] I have no clue. [18:05:32] no armor, no weapons. [18:05:46] or was that light armor only? [18:05:47] The money from items found adds up to 41,400 and split three ways that is 13,800 each if ye-all are ok with that. [18:05:49] I can only use my swords but I can wear light armor [18:05:56] yeah, I can use light armor. [18:05:58] Totally [18:06:14] Alen can use guns and up to medium armor [18:06:22] all right. [18:06:27] no restriction on magic items I can use either [18:06:42] and I already have Major Runic for my light armor. [18:06:42] each of you will be getting your pick of the three items for each of you in the chest. You get to keep one and the other two go to the museum. [18:07:04] I don't think I have restrictions for my armor or anything magical about it. [18:07:20] technically you could swap and trade as desired, but the selection is a bit customized for you three individually anyway. [18:10:38] Alen: your choice of a musket, a fine maille of an unknown material, or a wind up watch. [18:10:50] (they're all three roughly equivalent in power) [18:11:25] You can buy weapons and armor anywhere. But interesting watches... [18:11:56] I'll go for the potentially non-combat item. I am a man of peace after all. [18:12:26] Livak: Your choice of a set of spectacles, a fine set of clothes (female), or a ring. [18:13:28] I already have two rings. Let's do the spectacles. [18:13:57] you can have up to four rings. [18:14:05] oh... [18:14:09] Then I need to think [18:14:40] I have runic armor, i just found. [18:14:46] Danica: Your choice of a comfortable pair of shoes, a light shield of unknown metal, or a book whose cover is made of gears. [18:15:01] don't worry Livak, any armor you find is likely to be better than runic [18:15:03] it's not hard [18:15:18] so I don't know what to take then [18:15:19] oh, that is a hard choice between the book and the shoes. [18:15:49] Think like your character. What type of item would the character have more affection for? [18:16:04] I don't know her that well yet. [18:16:06] I'm assuming they are all shiny. [18:16:09] we're starting two weeks after the events of the last adventure, so if there are things that you wanted to go for in Fovoham City (major city, late Industrial Age), you might want to think about that now. [18:16:21] Livak: Yes. The only shiny thing that you didn't have in your set was the shield. [18:16:47] what do the shoes look like, apart from comfortable? I can't wear anything too flashy. [18:16:49] Thanks [18:17:08] the shoes look rather plain on the outside, but extremely well crafted. [18:17:16] what do the clothes look like? [18:18:16] The book intrigues me, but the shoes more so. Shoes please. :) (assuming they are my size) [18:18:21] the clothes are anything but plain - you're thinking this might have been a set of clothing for some type of person of station. Very ornate, tipped with what appear to be really tiny gemstones around the neck line (oddly conservative neckline, BTW) and cuffs. They also seem to be very sturdy. [18:18:40] Ok. I take the spectacles. [18:18:46] all right. [18:18:48] Watch: [18:19:35] It's not a watch. It's a Time-X. [18:20:32] The Watch of Preparation: While using some form of time scheme that doesn't quite match up with modern ones. It appears as though there are twenty five hours to the day instead of twenty four, but the watch simply skips over that hour. [18:21:19] (continued) [18:22:10] If you specifically place the hour hand in the area during that hour, time basically stops ticking for everyone but you and up to five other people for that one hour duration. This does not function in combat, but this would allow someone to have one hour extra preparation for anything *outside* of combat. [18:22:32] Oooo that is sneaky [18:22:33] I like [18:22:45] Is this a pocketwatch style? [18:22:48] yes. [18:22:57] Very shiny. [18:23:06] Boots: [18:24:05] boots now? They were shoes before.. [18:24:06] (oh yeah, the watch only works once per day, if it wasn't obvious) [18:24:14] sorry, they're shoes. [18:25:29] Shoes of the Well Travelled: Your feet are always comfortable and in the perfect balance with respect to humidity and temperature. They're extremely sturdy - in fact, they're actually indestructable, with the ability to walk on top of anything physically there (spikes, water, lava, pretty much any physical substance). (continued) [18:26:46] Awesome. [18:27:59] +5 to Stealth checks, +25 to Endurance checks, +25 damage reduction vs. temperature effects (heat or cold) in addition to the ability to walk on them. Cannot be destroyed without a paragon or greater ability. [18:28:48] they also don't count as magically enchanted, by the way. Namely because they aren't. [18:29:25] Spectacles: [18:30:52] I'm going to have to light some candles so I can see anything beyond my laptop's screen.. [18:31:33] Spectacles of Seeing What Is Really There: Appearing like the basis behind a more modern day pair of trifocals, these spectacles have the ability to shift lenses based on the situation needed. They appear to be made with a combination of some unusual metal and silver, making the glasses sparkle when the light catches them just right. The lenses are, as follows: [18:33:26] Lens of Reflection: Going beyond merely enhancing your ability to see long distances, these allow you to treat any distant surface as a one-way mirror for purposes of observation. [18:34:59] Lens of Identification: This lens allows you to conclusively identify any object, even if you do not normally have the knowledge needed in order to know what it is. Uses your observation instead of any skill needed to identify an object. [18:36:38] Lens of Detection: This allows you to see anything augmented with magic, with auras around it based on the type and strength of magic. In addition, anything hidden using magic (either via invisibility or via some other type of illusion) is treated as one category lower (Moderate Invis is treated like Weak, Major treated like Moderate, Paragon+ unaffected). [18:37:05] and that's it. [18:38:15] Cool glasses [18:39:00] should we wait until Kritter has power back before starting? [18:39:23] let's just start. [18:39:33] and hope my power returns soon. [18:39:41] This beeping is a bit annoying. [18:40:19] * aetherspoon is now known as Evil_EM [18:40:25] * Ragnhild is now known as Danica [18:40:28] * Antimerus is now known as Alen [18:40:32] Power returned. [18:40:51] Lisa care to remove the "1" from your nick? [18:41:18] * Livak1 is now known as Livak [18:41:21] done [18:43:07] so, you have spent the past two weeks in Fovoham City or journeying back and forth to places. [18:43:50] Hmmm did you have more armor choices for industrial that didn't make it to the wiki yet spoony? [18:44:24] probably. [18:44:41] Well, we'll assume I'm looking at those and finding one in my new price range. [18:44:44] I've returned to my home monastery for extra training. [18:44:45] We can make it up later though [18:44:48] you might want to wait a bit though, but okay. [18:44:50] it probably won't make a huge difference. [18:45:02] Livak, doing anything in your two weeks? [18:45:28] I spent time in the library learning my skills and a new language [18:45:37] k. [18:46:27] so, after a couple of weeks, you each get telegrams asking you to return to the museum. [18:46:42] Just telegrams, not candy grams. [18:47:31] * Livak heads to the museum. [18:47:39] * Alen heads over as well [18:47:44] I make sure to get permission from my superiors to go.. unless the museum has contacted them directly and asked for me, and I am ordered to go. :P [18:48:07] your superiors say that they had sent a request at least, yes. [18:49:20] so, to Fovoham. Are travel expenses covered by the museum? [18:49:50] yep. [18:51:17] you three make it to the museum. It isn't as barren as it was before, and they're starting work on putting up actual exhibits for the things you all had found. [18:51:56] * Livak looks for inaccuracies in the exhibits. [18:52:17] they haven't put up any of the information yet. They're still constructing the showcase objects. [18:52:39] * Alen just looks around to see how good it looks so far [18:52:43] In that case, I just look at the objects. [18:52:56] seems accurate so far. [18:53:07] Yanthia comes up to you all. [18:53:55] (Yanthia): "Hello once again. Mr. Cuthrell wished to speak with you three, so if you could follow me to the back once again." [18:54:07] * Danica nods and follows. [18:54:16] * Livak follows Danica. [18:54:22] "How have things been here since last time?" [18:54:41] * Alen goes along [18:54:51] "Good to see you all again." [18:55:09] "Things have been coming along. Work is slow because we're a bit low on the budget at the moment. I believe that's what Mr. Cuthrell is here to speak with you all about, actually." [18:55:26] "Yes it is good to see you guys again. It is even nicer to be out of that library." [18:55:40] "I could use a change of scenery." [18:56:30] you all make it to the back. [18:56:47] (Hadrian): "Glad to see the three of you again! How have you been?" [18:57:12] "Good." [18:57:12] "Doing well, nothing exciting though. Going to help us change that lad?" [18:57:33] "I have been well. Busy with my training at the monastery." [18:58:29] "I am more than ready to get back to investigating ruins." [18:58:39] "This is a little unorthodox of a request... but it is vital for the museum. I'm running low on my personal funds, and I believe we've demonstrated our abilities to delve into archeological sites - I think it is time to talk to the head office. And I want your help." [19:00:25] "You want us to speak to your head office directly?" [19:01:20] "The three of you were the ones that primarily went delving into these ruins, and I believe that we can convince them that our work is not just beneficial to the library association, but to science and history as a whole. We would be going together, of course." [19:01:52] "This would allow us to continue our work and possibly expand into more distant and exotic locations." [19:01:57] Power out again. -_- [19:02:03] "I'm all for exotic locations." [19:02:08] "Ah, I'm willing to come along, but I'll want to leave the talking to you folks or one of these charming lasses. I hae a habit of telling things as they really are. Folk in fancy offices don't shine to that usually." [19:02:53] (translation Alen has less than 20 charm) [19:02:55] "Oh, my supervisor is definitely not just some person in a fancy office. He's one of the head librarians for the University of Goug." [19:03:32] "Has he done any archeology himself?" [19:03:52] "I'm not sure. If he has, it was long ago." [19:04:02] "He is a historian, but I believe he might be a more conventional style of one." [19:05:26] "We should bring one of the artifacts we found to show him. I'm sure he will be just as curious about an ancient human civilization no one knew about." [19:06:05] "That is a good idea. We should only bring one, on the chance that something ends up happening during the journey - I wouldn't want us to lose our entire collection in one swoop." [19:06:52] "Do you know what his area of expertise is?" [19:07:11] "If we bring a shiny one then the sword wielding lass won't let anything bad happen to it." [19:07:23] * Alen winks [19:07:25] "Eastern Ivalice, I believe, but I'm not entirely sure." [19:07:41] Power returned. [19:07:41] "You have a point, Alen. I do love the sparklies." [19:07:45] * Livak returns Alen wink [19:08:23] "Sorry I should have been more specific. I meant is he into ancient texts, clothes, jars, etc." [19:08:54] (or maybe he is into ancient wine? :P) [19:09:07] (you mean vinegar.) [19:09:13] "Ah. Books, definitely. He is a librarian at heart." [19:09:32] "He might also hae more luck understanding the writing." [19:09:35] "I think we should bring one of the books we found in the castle. I'm sure that will spark his interest." [19:11:18] "Hmmm on another note. There is something missing from this exibit so far. A large map of the ruins with each piece labeled as to where it was found." [19:11:30] "I can take care of that for you." [19:11:39] "Actually, could you bring that with you?" [19:11:47] "That's a great idea" [19:11:49] "Let me make it first." [19:11:55] "But certainly." [19:12:12] "Wow. That is an excellent idea." [19:12:57] * Alen finds a large flat surface and rolls out a huge parchment sheet on it. [19:13:35] "Will you all come with us to Bervinia to speak with my supervisor?" [19:13:36] "It'll take a bit but this should be easy to create from my smaller personal maps." [19:13:54] "Yes." [19:13:59] "Aye, our continued employment into ruin searching depends on it." [19:14:14] "Alen don't forget to map out the crypt we investigated as well." [19:14:18] "Of course. Travel is usually educational." [19:14:29] "And I would very much lament missing the chance to hear Livak curse as she is shocked by minor traps." [19:15:07] "I believe I have fixed that situation. I shouldn't be shocked by 'minor' traps. Only the really big ones." [19:15:30] "Good! Ms. Lambert, could you arrange for tickets for the five of us?" [19:17:11] Ms. Lambert stops her conversation with Danica and leaves to make the arrangements. [19:17:30] * Alen works on the map of where we found each item. [19:17:46] * Alen also leaves room on the margins for nice descriptions of interesting rooms. [19:18:15] Are we still doing the tv part? [19:18:52] the head librarian might take offense to us barging in with a cameraman in tow. [19:19:00] no, the local PBS station decided against funding this further. [19:19:05] namely since the player left. :P [19:19:25] Ah so the player is not around even as an NPC. Got it [19:19:53] ok. [19:20:06] all right, you have a day before the train will leave. [19:20:19] I was just curious. Then I'm going to start looking for a digital camera for documentation purposes. [19:20:33] I know that it is a very slim chance of finding one here. [19:20:35] you'll have to go to somewhere with beyond Industrial Age tech. Like where you're going. [19:21:11] I will wait till then. [19:21:48] http://sharna.vandaliersheart.com/images/isle-of-man.png <- if you wanted to see where you were going, both where you are at now and your destination are on the map. [19:22:05] Goug has a mixture of Modern and beyond-Modern technology, depending on how close you are to the campus. [19:22:33] Is it the campus we are going to? [19:22:55] nope, he said Bervinia. [19:23:10] Ah the free city [19:23:17] It was Bervenia in FFT. [19:23:35] I know. [19:24:03] They must have modernized the spelling. ;) [19:24:35] I misspelled it long ago, so I decided to change it to match my spelling. :P [19:25:01] anyway, at least Alen and Danica would have heard about the city. [19:25:16] it is the second largest city on the continent. [19:26:01] and the power goes out again! [19:26:26] so, no one doing anything until the next day? [19:26:42] I'll just finish the map and pull out a nice carring tube to transport it in. [19:27:03] I'm just going to orgainize my notes for presenting to the boss. [19:28:51] can't think of anything I'd want to do.. except to buy a new antidote to replace the one I used last adventure. [19:28:57] k. [19:29:07] so, the next day, it is all aboard another train. [19:29:45] "I hope we don't get hijacked this time. Especially not by a group dumb enough to try and make a train 'turn left' on a straight set of tracks." [19:29:56] * Livak laughs [19:30:37] "Mr. Cuthrell, is there anything else you can tell us about this man we are meeting?" [19:30:56] (Hadrian): "Upton is... well, uptight, arrogant, and hates adventuring." [19:31:10] "The concept, not just doing it himself. Never did find out why." [19:31:29] Power restored. [19:31:34] "Hmm...that could hurt our case." [19:31:52] "I see. So concentrait on the gains for history and science and downplay the fighting of monsters and looking for traps." [19:32:30] "How about money?" [19:32:32] "His luck is legendary - legendary bad, that is." [19:32:57] "Oh? That sounds like there is a tale behind that." [19:33:05] "He's pretty stingy with money." [19:33:32] "Well, his luck really just seems to be a matter of the 'wrong place, wrong time' problem, only magnified thousands of times over." [19:33:49] "I hate to ask this but with this last dig did we break even on your monitary output?" [19:34:13] "It takes time to break even with this kind of venture." [19:34:22] "Not even close until the exhibits go up. Since they're still under construction, well... we'll just say that I need to get this funding and leave it at that." [19:34:26] (I feel like I preparing to argue for a expensive scientific equipment from one of my bosses.) [19:34:31] heh [19:35:32] Hadrian starts telling the tales he's heard of for Upton's bad luck. [19:35:43] "Looks like we will have to stick with knowledge aspect." [19:36:09] "To get him to understand the money aspect though we may have to mention the fact that it's dangerous." [19:36:13] they're pretty horrible. One of them includes being in the middle of a hostage situation all because he was trying to do an inter-library loan. [19:36:45] "One of you who is a better actor better handle that part. Mention how it's distasteful that monsters are in places where knowledge can be found, but that it's nessassary that the group be able to handle it." [19:36:55] "I agree Alen. I think that we should focus on the prestige and knowledge that the Library Association can gain." [19:37:20] acting is charm right? [19:37:23] yep [19:37:34] I have a charm of 25 [19:37:42] how about you Danicia? [19:37:56] 20 charm, no acting skill. [19:38:06] Alen has only 15 charm with no acting skill [19:38:08] I guess it is me. [19:38:15] I don't have acting skill either. [19:38:25] you can just use a straight charm attack [19:38:28] but I have basic diplomacy with weak support! [19:38:42] but Livak does think it is inconvient to run into so many monsters in her search for knowledge. [19:38:56] yeah, that wouldn't really be acting. [19:39:03] that's more diplomacy. [19:39:28] "I do find it inconvient to have to battle all the monsters in these ruins. It just slows things down." [19:39:42] I don't have diplomacy either. So it would go to Danica. [19:40:56] my awesome +11 diplomacy check. [19:41:12] It's better than my -15 check. [19:41:37] you can use straight charm attacks without a penalty. [19:41:42] nm [19:41:49] It just won't be based off a skill in particular [19:41:50] then I would have +15 [19:41:58] which might make it less effective depending on how the EM decides. [19:42:20] or might not [19:42:38] But one thing is curious to me [19:42:51] what is the extra support effect on supporting diplomacy? [19:43:10] There really isn't a skill to oppose that anyone actually an abiliity on. [19:43:27] no, I just get +1 on the skill, as far as I know. [19:43:33] I guess it could be opposed diplo vs diplo in some cases. [19:43:41] That it could. [19:43:58] Support a skill is supposed to add a number bonus and something else, either opposed power level or something else non-numeric. [19:44:17] anyway: [19:44:44] the first day on the train passes relatively uneventfully. You all can spend time talking to either Yanthia or Hadrian as you wish. [19:44:58] (or random unnamed NPCs on the train, I suppose) [19:45:12] I could teach a skill maybe. [19:46:00] but I don't have all that much in shiny skills that would interest others. [19:46:48] so, fast forward to something interesting happening? [19:46:52] yeah [19:46:56] yup [19:46:58] ok. [19:47:59] after a day and a half, the train stops at a small little depot. [19:48:19] it looks like they're needing to change the wheels due to a gauge change, so everyone has a bit of a break outside of the train. [19:48:49] "I think I will stretch my legs and look around the depot for a bit." [19:48:59] changing the wheels on teh whole train? That shoulds like a big job [19:49:16] it is. [19:49:42] it is a two hour stop, basically. [19:50:03] someone must have a wheel changing maneuver or it would be several days. [19:50:07] I'll sneak around and look for anyone acting suspiciously. [19:50:07] people start getting off of the train and milling about. [19:50:21] Alen: Nope, in reality it only takes that long assuming the train is built for it. [19:50:40] Danica: All right. Roll... stealth and observation! [19:50:52] * Alen walks around *not sneaking* looking for anything interesting and notices Dancia acting suspicious. [19:50:53] stealth: [19:50:58] !roll d20+34 [19:50:58] * !Diebot sees that Danica rolled 48 [14]. [19:51:11] obs: [19:51:17] !roll d20+71 [19:51:17] * !Diebot sees that Danica rolled 73 [2]. [19:51:21] mod support on obs. [19:51:23] I'm getting used to my new glasses. [19:51:37] !roll d20+77 [19:51:37] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 89 [12]. [19:51:50] major on my obs. Anything weird other than Dancia sneaking? [19:52:17] Danica: you notice some random animals scurrying about in the distance, but that's about it. [19:52:43] no strange packages attached to the underside of the train or anything like that? [19:52:43] Alen: You notice a pack of monsters of some type really far away that seem to be interested in the strange smells. [19:52:49] Danica: nope. [19:53:22] * Alen finds both Livak and Dancia and points out the pack of monsters. So we can watch them and be warned if they start coming closer. [19:54:23] they do generally seem to be heading in this direction. [19:54:44] Can I tell what kind of monsters they are with my glasses [19:54:49] * Alen will find Yanthia and Hadrian and warn them as well. [19:55:05] !roll d20+48 [19:55:05] * !Diebot sees that Livak rolled 50 [2]. [19:55:10] Also asking Yanthia if she can make smells with illusion. That might be able to distract the monsters away. [19:55:11] Livak: You do see magical auras around them. [19:55:12] moderate suport. [19:55:26] (Yanthia): "No, sorry, that's a bit beyond my skill." [19:55:32] "They seem to have a magical aura around them." [19:55:54] Any other passengers look like actual adventurers? [19:56:03] armed and such [19:56:29] you think one or two might be. [19:57:02] * Alen goes to discretely warn the other adventurers and the train staff. [19:57:25] the train staff starts asking passengers to go back inside the train. [19:57:26] "We might want to get everyone back on the train who isn't going to be a help in this fight." [19:57:39] which way are they coming? [19:57:43] "indeed, this can't be the first time this has happened." [19:57:53] "Packs of monsters are sadly common." [19:58:03] they're on a hill to the north of the tracks, the tracks running E/W roughly. [19:58:17] "Agreed but we should try keep them from reaching the train all the same." [19:58:20] "Perhaps someone knew the train would stop here, and the magical aura on the beasts mean someone summoned them for the purpose of attacking us." [19:58:38] "I'm a man of peace and driving the creatures away before they chew on the other passengers is the most peaceful way to handle this." [19:59:05] "That could be a possiblity. We will know more when they get closer." [19:59:12] How much longer till they get here? [19:59:21] "I suggest we go out to meet them before they quite make it here." [19:59:30] * Livak heads out to meet the monsters. [19:59:30] "Have some distance between them and the train." [19:59:34] * Danica stretches and does warm-up exercises to prepare for battle. [19:59:42] * Alen goes out to meet them as well. Shotgun in hand. [19:59:47] How many do there seem to be? [19:59:54] * Livak pulls out her swords. [20:00:02] seven. [20:00:08] do I see any more? [20:00:14] nope, just those seven. [20:00:17] ok [20:00:18] did either of those two adventurers come out to fight as well? [20:00:25] one did, the other didn't. [20:00:41] Is this someone so generic they don't have a description? [20:00:52] What kind of monsters are they? [20:01:06] Alen: trying to see if I can apply the Law of NPCs [20:01:23] Livak: They kind of look like minotaur-like things. [20:01:32] (Which law of NPCs is that?) [20:02:19] can I roll to see if I know anything about them? [20:02:24] sure. [20:02:31] I'd have Identify count for that, so roll observation. :) [20:02:40] I don't need to roll to see that I don't have a skill that applies. [20:03:10] !roll d20+48 [20:03:10] * !Diebot sees that Livak rolled 55 [7]. [20:03:34] Alen: the adventurer appears to be a priest of some variety and not of a type around here. More like a travelling priest. [20:03:47] he's wearing a heavy hat that covers most of his facial features though. [20:06:02] (Unknown priest): "Need some help?" [20:06:25] "It is too early to know if help is needed or not, but it is certainly welcome." [20:06:26] "Don't know friend. I'm not sure how dangerous this lot is." [20:06:48] "I can try to provide aid if needed." [20:06:55] so, waiting for the monsters to approach? [20:07:12] Yeah, as they get closer are they obviously hostile? [20:07:17] Or just curious? [20:07:29] What did my observation get? [20:07:48] oh, sorry, didn't get to that, oops. [20:07:54] no worries. [20:08:14] they're Minolites - a lesser form of Minotaurs. Possibly summoned. [20:08:42] "Well I have good news and bad news." [20:09:17] "Let's hear the good news first. That usually makes for better comedic value." [20:09:33] "Good news the monsters aren't full blown Minotaurs but they are minolites." [20:10:18] "Bad news, they are most likely summoned. So there is someone else out there that wants something on this train." [20:10:52] * Alen nods [20:11:18] * Alen spends however much time before they draw near looking around with a spyglass for someone else out there lurking. [20:11:31] roll observation again. [20:11:34] * Livak looks with her glasses. [20:11:37] !roll d20+77 [20:11:37] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 88 [11]. [20:11:41] (major) [20:11:43] !roll d20+48 [20:11:44] * !Diebot sees that Livak rolled 63 [15]. [20:11:48] (moderate) [20:11:52] * Danica looks with her regular eyes and moderate observation. [20:12:00] !roll d20+71 [20:12:01] * !Diebot sees that Danica rolled 72 [1]. [20:12:06] you all see nothing beyond what I've already described. [20:12:09] Diebot loves me this session. [20:12:13] well, that and Diebot hating Danica as usual. [20:12:19] a, we didn't appease him. [20:12:22] we forgot to appease diebot before the session [20:12:46] I rolled fine, so there might not be anything to see [20:13:24] * Alen puts the spyglass away as they draw near. [20:13:30] "Could it be someone on the train that summoned them? I mean can you summon something that far away?" [20:13:51] "My knowledge of magic is not great enough to know lass." [20:14:00] (Mystery Priest): "Possible." [20:14:12] "I doubt it, but it might be possible if the person in question has specialized in extended range." [20:14:28] (Minolites draw near, cue combat music.) [20:14:30] "More likely though, someone summoned a group to come after us and then was going to come in after the mess that would remain." [20:14:30] "My next question is why?" [20:15:18] all right, I believe it might be time to roll init. [20:15:23] first [20:15:24] leadership [20:15:26] I will offer leadership. [20:15:35] now I have to remember how to do combat. It has been a while. [20:15:36] I'll take it! whatever it is [20:15:57] +10 to init, hit and defense. [20:15:58] me too [20:16:16] (yeah, I upgraded it) [20:16:42] nice [20:16:49] !roll d20+32 [20:16:50] * !Diebot sees that Danica rolled 46 [14]. [20:16:52] !roll d20+40 [20:16:52] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 43 [3]. [20:17:00] the mystery priest is accepting leadership if you are offering. [20:17:29] yeah, I'll offer it to him too. [20:17:34] can I move some init to hit and damage or is it an either or situation? [20:17:43] I can lead up to 3 people without getting an init penalty- [20:17:50] what maneuver do you have to move it Livak? [20:18:20] I have Modify Init to Hit and Modify Init to damage [20:18:45] you can use both at once, as long as your init is still positive after and you don't move more than limit in each maneuver. [20:18:52] which is 30 for weak maneuvers [20:19:24] !roll d20+52 [20:19:24] * !Diebot sees that Livak rolled 65 [13]. [20:20:23] !roll d100+25 [20:20:23] * !Diebot sees that Evil_EM rolled 100 [75]. [20:20:30] !secret 7 d20 [20:21:30] (Mystery Priest begins casting a spell): "May the all knowing father bless us today and throughout time!" [20:21:52] the three of you begin to feel as though your wounds will regenerate at a rate of 5 HP/round on your inits. [20:22:02] nice [20:22:16] Totally [20:22:16] next up is Livak. [20:22:26] are there any close to me? [20:22:33] define close. [20:22:43] within 32 ft. [20:22:45] no. [20:22:56] I guess I move towards one this turn. [20:23:04] all right, moving up a bit. [20:23:08] yup [20:23:17] Danica, your init. [20:23:27] I will do the same. My speed is very similar to Livak's. [20:23:34] k. [20:23:46] a couple of the Minolites move closer. They're also out of range, so next round people could melee. [20:23:54] Alen, your init. [20:24:05] they are obvoiusly looking to attack then I take it? [20:24:20] yep. [20:24:27] no question on that one. [20:24:36] Are the ones that just moved up within 50 ft of me? [20:25:31] If not can I move up to 30 feet myself to get one to be within 50 ft? [20:25:44] yes. [20:25:49] they'd be within 50' now. [20:25:51] Ok [20:26:08] I shoot the closest one in the face three times. Shotgun is the best way to keep the peace. [20:26:19] !roll 3 d20+61 [20:26:20] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 68 80 76 [7 :: 19 :: 15]. [20:26:23] firearms of course [20:26:29] hit/crit/hit. [20:26:42] !roll d20+54 [20:26:43] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 71 [17]. [20:26:46] !roll d20+54x1.5 [20:26:46] * !Diebot sees that Alen rolled 90 [6]. [20:27:24] so unless they dodge/block/Kyis that one has x2 71 damage hits and one 90 damage [20:27:49] looks like they take the hits. [20:28:04]
