It's amazing what stunts you can do on a ladder when you have a good Acrobatics roll.

Knk, you owe me a new keyboard. Mine is covered in tea after I read that last post of yours. :(

So, with that adventure finished, the Horde has reached level 5. Everybody just needs to pick up a new Daily power and I'll handle the rest.

Clarification: Although your Level 1 and Level 5 Daily Powers are both marked as "Daily" you can use both in the course of a day — you can use each of them once. Bob, as a Wizard, gets two Level 5 Dailies which work exactly as his Level 1 dailies do; therefore, when he chooses which L1 daily to memorize for a given day he also chooses which L5 daily to memorize.

Bob's L5 power choices:
Soggy's L5 power choices:
Garrmondo's L5 power choices:
Delic's L5 power choices:
Gordok's L5 power choices:

Does Fireball's area burst 3 mean it can potentially hit 49 targets? If so, that's awesome. I'll take that and the Icy Grasp thing please.

I'm going to go ahead and pick up Stand The Fallen.

Taking Crack the Shell. Hopefully it'll help a bit with the wonderful hit rolls you've been seeing.

Holy god, that sextant quest seems PERFECT for the horde.




Just sayin'.

Good point, Pang. I was considering going two handed swords for interest, but that might be too much of a change for when (real) Garr got back. I don't think I'll change that sort of focus on him.

I was expecting some kind of boss battle with the entire airship. Oh well, guess Pang didn't want to kill off one of you that quickly after Deni's naked suicide... :D

Oh, rest assured that all 9 members of the warforged party statted out and ready to go the moment part of the Horde made a hostile move. They just didn't do anything hostile.. It was baffling.

Curse these bafflingly out-of-character non-hostile role play gamers!

Care to share their stats since you've plotted them out and etc.?

The warforged party were quite charming. I'm glad the Horde didn't try to attack.

Garrmondo can have the falchion I picked up from the wagon wreckage. I only picked it up because no one else did. It's a good bonus for the party but it makes more sense for someone who actually uses swords to use it.

Is there any way to improve the resale value of loot we find? At the moment we find stuff that would cost several thousand to buy then when we go to sell it we make enough back for a second hand health potion. Is there not some kind of auction house where we can sell loot to other adventurers for a decent amount of cash rather than being ripped off by shop keepers all the time?

The falchion is also two-handed, and would similarly fuck up Garrmondo's shield-based abilities. Bob could always use his Transfer Enchantment ritual to put the ability on a one-handed sword though.

As for resale value, tell you what. We'll go ahead and shoehorn in a barter mechanic. Just make a Bluff check for each item on which you want to haggle on the price (buying or selling) and you'll get a discount/bonus relative to the amount by which you beat the shopkeep's Insight (assuming you actually do so).

Nobody sees the campaign notes! Not nobody, not nohow! Nyah!

Pleeeeeeease?

:(

if LeHah and Acer haven't chosen their powers and cast their votes by tomorrow I'll do it for them :mad:

I like how Shin isn't the only one trying to make the downtime between quests more interesting anymore, since Skills and LeHah are getting into roleplaying too.

That's all very good until Garr gets back from hospital and finds his character's been locked in prison because Skills crept into the Emperor's bedchamber and teabagged him.

But that would be a nice campaign to play. Dungeon of Doom redux, except they have to break in and then break out...

The original two horde members still haven't taken revenge on the Duke who imprisoned them in the first place, right?

Ha ha, I forgot that was our original motivation.

Out of curiousity, what sort of stats does my new thingamajig have, Pang? Same range as a bow? Any ideas about maximum explosion radius of the molotovs? I imagine just 1 square each way, no diagonal?

I don't mean to rain on your parade, Skills, but won't you need something to light it with? Flint and tinder won't exactly work in the middle of a pitched battle. :(

I guess you could use a torch, but then there's the logistics of juggling the slingshot, the oil, and the torch in two hands.

Really, all he has to do is get the enemy all oiled up for Bob and Soggy to light.

It's essentially just a hand crossbow that loads with Alchemist's Fire instead of bolts, and that's how I intend to treat it.

Range 10 squares, area burst 1 (3x3 squares). 1d6 fire damage (half damage on a miss).

In the event that you don't have time to light it, an oil splatter on the floor can conveniently duplicate the effects of a Grease spell.

^^^ and yeah, being all oily would tend to give one a vulnerability to fire I suppose
