[2012-02-19 13:55:50] » You are now known as Ilya. [2012-02-19 13:56:21] DM: Righty oh. [2012-02-19 13:56:33] DM: Adam/Erin/ChrisR might be a touch late. [2012-02-19 13:56:53] Aleksei: NPCs them all simultaneously [2012-02-19 13:56:53] DM: So in the interim... [2012-02-19 13:57:00] Aleksei: carries on conversations with himself [2012-02-19 13:58:13] DM: Y'all have defeated the dastardly mites that captured Svetlana and befriended a small kobold named MIkmek in the process. [2012-02-19 13:59:19] DM: You have also recovered a idol of some sort, that Mikmek claims is his tribe's conduit to "Old Sharptooth". [2012-02-19 13:59:40] » Trip joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 13:59:49] Aleksei\Gaia: Which we're now going to take to the kobolds [2012-02-19 13:59:51] Trip: test test [2012-02-19 13:59:56] Aleksei\Gaia: And negotiate with them for an alliance [2012-02-19 14:00:01] Bolgan: teeeeeeest [2012-02-19 14:00:05] Aleksei\Gaia: So that we can all be friends [2012-02-19 14:00:18] Trip: But then we can't use the kobolds for litterboxes. [2012-02-19 14:00:51] DM: There's also a handful of other issues [2012-02-19 14:01:53] Ilya: Such as? [2012-02-19 14:03:23] DM: Oh, just a handful of other things you've left pending. Bokken wanted you to gather some berries that he could use to make healing potions. There were some other bandit issues. A bunch of wanted posters. [2012-02-19 14:03:24] DM: etc... [2012-02-19 14:03:30] DM: Not to mention continued mapping of the region. [2012-02-19 14:05:19] DM: So. [2012-02-19 14:05:26] DM: Given all of the options, what do you do next? [2012-02-19 14:06:02] Ilya: Wait for Adam and Erin to show up so we can make a decision with the full party? [2012-02-19 14:06:02] Ilya: ' [2012-02-19 14:06:07] DM: Oh yes, and I almost forgot. Before leaving the mite lair, there were some other things. [2012-02-19 14:06:23] Ilya: things! [2012-02-19 14:06:29] DM: Namely those piles of eggs. And yes. Yes you should. [2012-02-19 14:06:38] Trip: We make an omelet. [2012-02-19 14:06:40] Aleksei\Gaia: The eggs, right [2012-02-19 14:06:42] Aleksei\Gaia: They were like [2012-02-19 14:06:45] Aleksei\Gaia: Insect eggs [2012-02-19 14:06:46] Aleksei\Gaia: Tick eggs [2012-02-19 14:06:49] Aleksei\Gaia: We should burn them all [2012-02-19 14:06:50] DM: Centipede. [2012-02-19 14:06:51] Aleksei\Gaia: With fire [2012-02-19 14:07:03] Ilya: i agree [2012-02-19 14:07:10] Ilya: destroy them until they are destroyed [2012-02-19 14:07:14] Aleksei\Gaia: We didn't level did we? [2012-02-19 14:07:21] Ilya: no [2012-02-19 14:07:28] Aleksei\Gaia: k. [2012-02-19 14:07:30] Aleksei\Gaia: WITH FIRE [2012-02-19 14:07:35] DM: I… have been thinking about this. [2012-02-19 14:07:54] Aleksei\Gaia: Fire does not require thought [2012-02-19 14:07:57] DM: In the interest of keeping things moving and avoiding random encounter frenzy, I might switch to the "fast" leveling track. [2012-02-19 14:07:57] Aleksei\Gaia: That's why it's called fire [2012-02-19 14:08:35] Ilya: i approve [2012-02-19 14:08:46] Aleksei\Gaia: Fast is good. [2012-02-19 14:08:54] Ilya: that changes the amount of xp to level right? [2012-02-19 14:08:56] Ilya: and not [2012-02-19 14:08:58] Aleksei\Gaia: Yes [2012-02-19 14:08:59] Ilya: the amount you gain [2012-02-19 14:09:01] Aleksei\Gaia: No [2012-02-19 14:09:21] Bolgan: word [2012-02-19 14:09:43] Ilya: so how much XP do we have? [2012-02-19 14:09:50] Aleksei\Gaia: Fast is 13 encounters/lvl [2012-02-19 14:09:53] Aleksei\Gaia: Medium is 20 [2012-02-19 14:09:54] DM: Yeah. Basically, the adventure is calibrated to use the standard leveling track. That however, assumes that random encounters are plentiful. [2012-02-19 14:09:55] Aleksei\Gaia: Slow is 30 [2012-02-19 14:10:45] Ilya: so L3 at fast is 3300 [2012-02-19 14:10:48] Ilya: we have more than that right? [2012-02-19 14:11:28] DM: f'ref: http://kingmaker.xthemage.net/forum/viewforum.php?f=1&sid=e1b58c557e430cd68a1d7c7c3fca3514 [2012-02-19 14:11:52] Aleksei\Gaia: So that brings us o [2012-02-19 14:11:54] Ilya: 1925+1250+870 = 4045 [2012-02-19 14:11:55] DM: You do. But I haven't decided yet. [2012-02-19 14:11:59] Ilya: ok well [2012-02-19 14:12:07] DM: Also, no leveling before the session. [2012-02-19 14:12:08] Ilya: /shrug [2012-02-19 14:12:13] DM: I just wanted opinions. [2012-02-19 14:12:19] Aleksei\Gaia: My opinion is yes [2012-02-19 14:12:21] Ilya: i think it's a good idea. [2012-02-19 14:12:37] Aleksei\Gaia: Don't get me wrong [2012-02-19 14:12:40] Aleksei\Gaia: I like random encounters [2012-02-19 14:12:47] Aleksei\Gaia: I don't think there should be zero of them [2012-02-19 14:12:49] DM: I wouldn't get rid of them entirely. [2012-02-19 14:12:51] Bolgan: I'm fine with it [2012-02-19 14:12:58] Aleksei\Gaia: But there can't reasonably be enough to sustain Medium progression [2012-02-19 14:12:59] Ilya: but it doesn't look like this gives us room to eliminate them [2012-02-19 14:13:01] Aleksei\Gaia: Not in an online game [2012-02-19 14:13:02] Ilya: just less [2012-02-19 14:13:24] DM: Yup. [2012-02-19 14:13:27] DM: Ok. [2012-02-19 14:13:53] DM: Well, let's say hypothetically that as of the end of this session y'all will hit L3. [2012-02-19 14:14:09] Bolgan: very well [2012-02-19 14:14:32] Aleksei\Gaia: Wonderful [2012-02-19 14:14:36] Aleksei\Gaia: So yeah [2012-02-19 14:14:39] Aleksei\Gaia: Let's burn them eggs [2012-02-19 14:14:43] Ilya: mhm [2012-02-19 14:15:27] DM: Hmm [2012-02-19 14:15:57] DM: Ok... [2012-02-19 14:16:09] DM: Let's get started. [2012-02-19 14:16:37] Ilya: k [2012-02-19 14:16:42] DM: First off, I have reason to suspect that there might be further discussion about the eggs, so let's put that off until everyone's here. [2012-02-19 14:16:53] DM: As it doesn't impact what happens next... [2012-02-19 14:16:56] DM: What happens next? [2012-02-19 14:17:05] Ilya: I guess we go treat with the kobolds [2012-02-19 14:17:13] Aleksei\Gaia: That also will require discussion imo [2012-02-19 14:17:26] Ilya: probably [2012-02-19 14:17:36] Aleksei\Gaia: So maybe we should go gather those berries! [2012-02-19 14:17:43] Ilya: actually Ilya's stance on this is basically "fuck kobolds" [2012-02-19 14:17:52] Ilya: but I'm willing to not have to deal with them now [2012-02-19 14:18:02] Ilya: for the purposes of getting them off our shit [2012-02-19 14:18:08] DM: Hmm [2012-02-19 14:18:20] » phelanarcetus joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:18:27] DM: Ah, well, that solves that. [2012-02-19 14:18:36] » phelanarcetus is now known as Taranis. [2012-02-19 14:18:39] Taranis: I said we'd be late [2012-02-19 14:18:45] Taranis: little later than I guessed but yeah [2012-02-19 14:18:58] Taranis: Erin will be on in a couple minutes [2012-02-19 14:19:15] DM: I know. There was discussion about what to do next, and the discussion blocked on your inputs. [2012-02-19 14:19:50] Trip: No problem. [2012-02-19 14:19:51] Taranis: (Also, Sandy… I thought I had mentioned the Teen Paranormal Romance section existing like a year ago) [2012-02-19 14:19:55] Taranis: Well... [2012-02-19 14:20:12] Taranis: I'm pretty sure Elias does not want to burn all those vermin… Taranis will be happy to get out of there [2012-02-19 14:20:26] Taranis: and, I figure, head to the kobolds and see what happens there [2012-02-19 14:20:54] DM: The two immediate issues being discussed are: a) Giant Centipede Eggs: Burn: [Y/n] and b) What to do next about the kobolds. [2012-02-19 14:21:18] Ilya: Well for people with more knowledge than me... [2012-02-19 14:21:28] Taranis: My input: A) [Y]. B) Have this kobold lead us to his people for discussion [2012-02-19 14:21:28] Ilya: Won't the eggs hatch and have giant centipedes roaming around killing people? [2012-02-19 14:21:45] Ilya: So shouldn't we burn them now [2012-02-19 14:21:50] Ilya: To prevent that [2012-02-19 14:22:07] Trip: (getting food. Be back in a bit) [2012-02-19 14:22:22] Aleksei\Gaia: I see no reason why that wouldn't happen [2012-02-19 14:22:30] Aleksei\Gaia: So fire is the answer [2012-02-19 14:22:32] DM: A possibility. They're not likely to roam too far beyond their lair, but it could become nasty if left unchecked. [2012-02-19 14:22:36] Ilya: Yes, but I think Elias has some Knowledge: Nature [2012-02-19 14:22:40] Aleksei\Gaia: k [2012-02-19 14:23:01] » Elias joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:23:09] DM: Excellent. [2012-02-19 14:23:12] DM: To recap... [2012-02-19 14:23:17] Ilya: So our job here is to remove any and all threats [2012-02-19 14:23:28] Ilya: to people here in the chartered area [2012-02-19 14:23:37] DM: Y'all have defeated the dastardly mites that captured Svetlana and befriended a small kobold named MIkmek in the process. [2012-02-19 14:23:38] DM: You have also recovered a idol of some sort, that Mikmek claims is his tribe's conduit to "Old Sharptooth". [2012-02-19 14:23:43] Ilya: if this means extincting local wildlife, then that's what it means [2012-02-19 14:23:43] DM: The two immediate issues being discussed are: a) Giant Centipede Eggs: Burn: [Y/n] and b) What to do next about the kobolds. [2012-02-19 14:24:13] Elias: I would just like to point out that Elias tries to pocket/save as many of said giant centipede eggs as he can [2012-02-19 14:24:20] Bolgan: oh really [2012-02-19 14:24:39] Aleksei\Gaia: Aren't they [2012-02-19 14:24:40] Aleksei\Gaia: big [2012-02-19 14:24:44] DM: They're fairly large, about baseball sized. [2012-02-19 14:24:48] Aleksei\Gaia: Oh only that big [2012-02-19 14:24:51] Elias: he can fit a few in his bag [2012-02-19 14:25:02] DM: Let's say you get about two dozen or so. [2012-02-19 14:25:13] Aleksei\Gaia: Well as long as you feed them yourself [2012-02-19 14:25:15] Elias: It's better to befriend nature and make it work in your favor than it is to try and extinguish it [2012-02-19 14:25:16] Aleksei\Gaia: And walk them [2012-02-19 14:25:29] Ilya: :| [2012-02-19 14:25:34] Aleksei\Gaia: If they mess up my stuff I will totally squish them [2012-02-19 14:25:45] Ilya: Fine, whatever. [2012-02-19 14:25:49] Ilya: Let's get out of this place. [2012-02-19 14:25:50] Elias: I will ensure they don't mess with your stuff [2012-02-19 14:25:56] Elias: I know what I'm doing. I'm a ranger. [2012-02-19 14:26:01] Elias: This is my job [2012-02-19 14:26:02] DM: Righty oh. [2012-02-19 14:26:02] Ilya: looks unimpressed [2012-02-19 14:26:10] DM: So… that answers point the first. [2012-02-19 14:26:15] DM: What about point the second? [2012-02-19 14:26:17] Elias: is blissfully unaware of Ilya's dirty looks [2012-02-19 14:26:18] DM: Where to now? [2012-02-19 14:26:27] Aleksei\Gaia: To the kobolds! [2012-02-19 14:26:36] Ilya: So I guess we take Mikmek and this thingy to the kobold area [2012-02-19 14:26:39] DM: Sounds good. [2012-02-19 14:26:40] Taranis: Mikmek leads us to his home and such [2012-02-19 14:26:42] Ilya: and tell them they should leave humans alone [2012-02-19 14:26:47] Taranis: where we can talk to them [2012-02-19 14:26:55] » Mikmek joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:27:02] Mikmek: cheers [2012-02-19 14:28:01] DM: Mikmek leads you to the southeast, to a small cavern. [2012-02-19 14:28:55] DM: As you travel, several of you who are more familiar with geography note that the "map" in the mite lair corresponds to the path between the mite lair and this cavern. [2012-02-19 14:29:57] DM: As you approach the cavern, you see a fallen sign leaning against the side of the cave entrance, and a cage made of branches and sticks on the other side. [2012-02-19 14:30:20] » Elias left the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:30:20] DM: The stick cage contains a single, sobbing mite -- his eyes squinted tightly shut against the daylight. [2012-02-19 14:30:42] DM: Next to the cage, a kobold sits, prodding the mite with a bored expression on its face. [2012-02-19 14:30:50] » Taranis left the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:30:54] Mikmek: calls out in Draconic to the other kobold. [2012-02-19 14:31:24] Aleksei\Gaia: frowns [2012-02-19 14:31:25] Mikmek: Nakpik! I'm free. These humans saved me! [2012-02-19 14:31:33] DM: (assuming someone translates) [2012-02-19 14:31:48] Ilya: lets Taranis do that [2012-02-19 14:31:53] Ilya: if he wants [2012-02-19 14:32:13] DM: The other kobold reacts, first by instinctively reaching for its spear and then lowering it once it sees Mikmek. [2012-02-19 14:32:29] Mikmek: We've freed old sharptooth! [2012-02-19 14:32:34] » phelanarcetus joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:32:45] Mikmek: Quick, get the chief! [2012-02-19 14:32:46] » phelanarcetus left the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:32:49] » phelanarcetus joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:32:54] » phelanarcetus is now known as Taranis. [2012-02-19 14:32:57] Taranis: Hey router: [2012-02-19 14:32:58] » Elias joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 14:32:59] Taranis: Fuck you. [2012-02-19 14:33:09] Taranis: Right in the ass I am going to carve with an electromagnet. [2012-02-19 14:33:37] Ilya: Soo... [2012-02-19 14:33:45] Ilya: Mikmek, how many of you kobolds are there here? [2012-02-19 14:33:54] DM: The other kobold scampers off. [2012-02-19 14:34:35] Mikmek: A whole bunch. Twenty or so. Not as many as there were before... but now Old Sharptooth makes us stronger! [2012-02-19 14:34:47] Ilya: Stronger? [2012-02-19 14:34:48] DM: The other kobold returns shortly, saying "The Chief said to bring them in." [2012-02-19 14:35:14] Taranis: (same day?) [2012-02-19 14:35:39] DM: It's about a 3-4 hour ride. [2012-02-19 14:35:53] DM: Do you sleep after clearing out the mite lair? [2012-02-19 14:36:03] Mikmek: Yeah. He watches over us and tells us what to do. He helps us kill the damn mites! [2012-02-19 14:36:09] Taranis: It was… eveningish when we got there? [2012-02-19 14:36:11] Mikmek: He makes us powerful! [2012-02-19 14:36:55] Mikmek: And now with the mites dead, we will be the best at everything! [2012-02-19 14:37:06] Taranis: I mean, my total lack of remaining spells has me say yes we should sleep before going to see the kobolds [2012-02-19 14:37:15] Mikmek: starts walking into the cavern [2012-02-19 14:37:22] Mikmek: Come. [2012-02-19 14:37:26] Ilya: How does he make you powerful, exactly? [2012-02-19 14:37:28] Ilya: follows [2012-02-19 14:37:35] Ilya: motions for others to follow [2012-02-19 14:37:41] Mikmek: looks confused [2012-02-19 14:37:52] Taranis: "he just does" [2012-02-19 14:38:14] Mikmek: He... makes us stronger. When we do what Tartuk says, we can not fail! [2012-02-19 14:38:26] Aleksei\Gaia: What the heck is a Tartuk, that's what I want to know [2012-02-19 14:38:40] Mikmek: Tartuk speaks to Old Sharptooth through that. [2012-02-19 14:38:40] Ilya: Ah. [2012-02-19 14:38:41] Ilya: I see. [2012-02-19 14:38:46] Mikmek: points to the idol. [2012-02-19 14:38:56] Aleksei\Gaia: So what's Old Sharptooth [2012-02-19 14:39:23] DM: points to the idol. [2012-02-19 14:39:25] DM: err [2012-02-19 14:39:29] Mikmek: points to the idol [2012-02-19 14:39:32] Aleksei\Gaia: k that makes no sense. [2012-02-19 14:39:35] Mikmek: Old Sharptooth is our god! [2012-02-19 14:39:41] Mikmek: beams [2012-02-19 14:39:44] Aleksei\Gaia: Does this make sense to anyone else? [2012-02-19 14:39:49] Ilya: Does it have to? [2012-02-19 14:39:59] Ilya: in common [2012-02-19 14:40:00] DM: Well, you can try a religion roll. [2012-02-19 14:40:01] Ilya: They're kobolds [2012-02-19 14:40:02] Aleksei\Gaia: No I mean it doesn't... I mean...

[2012-02-19 16:26:52] Ilya: I don't even know what that is [2012-02-19 16:27:03] Aleksei\Gaia: It's the language of like, drow [2012-02-19 16:27:09] Taranis: I can tomorrow [2012-02-19 16:27:11] Taranis: but not today [2012-02-19 16:27:17] Ilya: ew [2012-02-19 16:27:18] Aleksei\Gaia: Evil shit that lives underground [2012-02-19 16:27:19] Ilya: drow [2012-02-19 16:27:20] DM: Alright, well, you've got a book you can't read… although you do recognize that tucked into the back is what appears to be a scroll of fly. [2012-02-19 16:27:27] Taranis: yoink [2012-02-19 16:27:30] Aleksei\Gaia: It's like Common, but underground. [2012-02-19 16:27:43] DM: The wand… roll up an identify check. [2012-02-19 16:27:47] Taranis: CL 5 I presume? [2012-02-19 16:27:51] Taranis: !try 12;identify [2012-02-19 16:27:51] DiceBot: rolls attempts for Taranis : [2012-02-19 16:27:51] DiceBot: (identify) 1d20 < 6 = 6 > + 12 = 18 [2012-02-19 16:28:04] DM: CL5 indeed. [2012-02-19 16:28:10] Aleksei\Gaia: So like [2012-02-19 16:28:18] Aleksei\Gaia: Is Dust of Illusion supposed to be a single use item? [2012-02-19 16:28:30] DM: indeed. [2012-02-19 16:28:37] DM: one dose [2012-02-19 16:28:42] Aleksei\Gaia: That's atrociously overpriced [2012-02-19 16:28:45] DM: And… finally... [2012-02-19 16:29:01] DM: You've got a wand of magic missile CL3 with 28 charges on it. [2012-02-19 16:29:08] Aleksei\Gaia: Bah [2012-02-19 16:29:21] Taranis: and the bracers are +1 armor? [2012-02-19 16:29:24] Taranis: !try 12;identify [2012-02-19 16:29:24] DiceBot: rolls attempts for Taranis : [2012-02-19 16:29:24] DiceBot: (identify) 1d20 < 5 = 5 > + 12 = 17 [2012-02-19 16:29:24] DM: Indeed. [2012-02-19 16:29:29] Aleksei\Gaia: Bahhhh [2012-02-19 16:29:33] Taranis: I guess those go to bolgan? [2012-02-19 16:29:34] DM: Alright. [2012-02-19 16:29:35] DM: Now what? [2012-02-19 16:29:41] Taranis: I will take the wand for now, since I can use it [2012-02-19 16:29:46] Bolgan: well [2012-02-19 16:29:48] Aleksei\Gaia: Didn't we want to get berries for that jerk [2012-02-19 16:29:51] Bolgan: now I feel silly [2012-02-19 16:29:58] Bolgan: for having put in an order for bracers of armor +1 [2012-02-19 16:30:10] Taranis: oh [2012-02-19 16:30:16] Taranis: well, when you get them, I guess I can tale them [2012-02-19 16:30:21] Bolgan: very well [2012-02-19 16:30:34] DM: Alrighty... [2012-02-19 16:30:39] Taranis: *take [2012-02-19 16:31:06] DM: So... [2012-02-19 16:31:24] Ilya: so what's left on our agenda [2012-02-19 16:31:39] Taranis: who wants the dust of crap? [2012-02-19 16:31:57] DM: There are two ways of getting to the berry thicket that Bokken described to you [2012-02-19 16:32:31] Taranis: (I am adjusting my order to replace some 2nd level spell on the list with… make whole… because I'm going to end up needing it for a wall or something) [2012-02-19 16:32:34] DM: The most direct route, which will take you about a day, involves crossing the rickety bridge that you've passed by before. [2012-02-19 16:32:37] Bolgan: no seriously is this guy a samurai trainer - wtf name is Bokken [2012-02-19 16:33:05] DM: Circling around north to the next crossing will take you another day, but is likely safer. [2012-02-19 16:33:13] DM: Any preference? [2012-02-19 16:33:23] Aleksei\Gaia: We don't need safety [2012-02-19 16:33:26] Aleksei\Gaia: We are adventurers [2012-02-19 16:33:29] Taranis: have we explored that area to the north? [2012-02-19 16:33:33] Aleksei\Gaia: Besides the bridge is fine [2012-02-19 16:33:33] Taranis: if not, that may be worthwhile [2012-02-19 16:33:36] Ilya: yeah that's what I was thinking [2012-02-19 16:33:36] Aleksei\Gaia: We passed it before. [2012-02-19 16:33:46] Ilya: goign north involves xtra map discovery [2012-02-19 16:33:51] Ilya: doesn't it? [2012-02-19 16:33:59] Trip: (my question too, Bolgan) [2012-02-19 16:34:00] DM: Nope. [2012-02-19 16:34:07] Ilya: Oh [2012-02-19 16:34:08] Ilya: then whatever [2012-02-19 16:34:17] DM: The next crossing north is the bandit camp [2012-02-19 16:34:26] DM: ok [2012-02-19 16:34:32] Taranis: then we'll deal with the rickety bridge, imo [2012-02-19 16:34:37] DM: Ok. [2012-02-19 16:35:13] DM: The bridge is there, just as you left it. [2012-02-19 16:35:25] Ilya: yeah that's fine [2012-02-19 16:35:28] Ilya: um [2012-02-19 16:35:33] Ilya: horses can get across right? [2012-02-19 16:35:42] DM: A good question. Roll up some engineering. [2012-02-19 16:35:48] DM: Knowledge[Engineering] [2012-02-19 16:35:59] Aleksei\Gaia: *crickets* [2012-02-19 16:36:01] Bolgan: wtf is engineering [2012-02-19 16:36:01] Taranis: !try 7 [2012-02-19 16:36:01] DiceBot: rolls attempts for Taranis : [2012-02-19 16:36:01] DiceBot: 1d20 < 16 = 16 > + 7 = 23 [2012-02-19 16:36:08] Bolgan: can I make sandwiches with it [2012-02-19 16:36:09] Aleksei\Gaia: Taranis is like [2012-02-19 16:36:13] Taranis: something I'll probably invest a rank in next level [2012-02-19 16:36:15] DM: And the magic 8 ball says... [2012-02-19 16:36:15] DM: no [2012-02-19 16:36:16] Aleksei\Gaia: I'm smart and know everything by default [2012-02-19 16:36:20] Aleksei\Gaia: Bahhh [2012-02-19 16:36:46] Taranis: well that is frustrating [2012-02-19 16:36:48] Aleksei\Gaia: What if we repair the bridge [2012-02-19 16:36:51] Aleksei\Gaia: Maybe build a new bridge [2012-02-19 16:36:56] Bolgan: with our engineering skill [2012-02-19 16:36:58] Bolgan: that we have [2012-02-19 16:36:59] Bolgan: amirite [2012-02-19 16:37:00] DM: Taranis suspects that the rotten planks are not likely to be able to support a horse's weight for long. [2012-02-19 16:37:01] Aleksei\Gaia: Yes [2012-02-19 16:37:03] Aleksei\Gaia: That. [2012-02-19 16:37:08] Aleksei\Gaia: I mean it seems easy [2012-02-19 16:37:14] Aleksei\Gaia: Replace the planks [2012-02-19 16:37:17] Aleksei\Gaia: That are bad [2012-02-19 16:37:24] Taranis: Well [2012-02-19 16:37:29] DM: Doable. It'll take you a few days of work. Plus you'll need materials. [2012-02-19 16:37:33] Bolgan: I will totally chop wood [2012-02-19 16:37:37] Bolgan: with my bare hands [2012-02-19 16:37:40] Aleksei\Gaia: There's wood like everywhere [2012-02-19 16:37:40] Bolgan: test my might, etc. [2012-02-19 16:37:41] Taranis: What if we hit the planks with mending? [2012-02-19 16:37:44] Ilya: Ok wait [2012-02-19 16:37:52] Ilya: Is this a thing befitting our skills [2012-02-19 16:38:00] Aleksei\Gaia: Well we need to get over there [2012-02-19 16:38:01] Bolgan: no :-P [2012-02-19 16:38:02] Ilya: Would it not make more sense to make the forest safe [2012-02-19 16:38:04] DM: You're in the middle of hills atm. You've got woods about half a day to the northeast [2012-02-19 16:38:09] Ilya: then get experienced builders in here [2012-02-19 16:38:09] DM: err, northwest [2012-02-19 16:38:12] Ilya: to repair it correctly [2012-02-19 16:38:13] Aleksei\Gaia: This bridge is clearly UNsafe [2012-02-19 16:38:15] Aleksei\Gaia: If we fix it [2012-02-19 16:38:19] Aleksei\Gaia: It will thenceforth be safe [2012-02-19 16:38:25] Ilya: I mean in terms of wildlife and other such dangers [2012-02-19 16:38:33] Ilya: The kind that might eat bridge builders [2012-02-19 16:38:34] Aleksei\Gaia: :| [2012-02-19 16:38:36] Ilya: or rob them or whatever [2012-02-19 16:38:43] Ilya: Aleksei are you a craftsman [2012-02-19 16:38:47] Aleksei\Gaia: No [2012-02-19 16:38:49] Taranis: this is definitely something we can get qualified people to do properly [2012-02-19 16:38:55] Ilya: Then why are you acting like one [2012-02-19 16:39:06] Aleksei\Gaia: I didn't say I would be fixing anything >_> [2012-02-19 16:39:08] Ilya: We'll get the bridge fixed eventually [2012-02-19 16:39:13] Taranis: Would mending suffice to let us get across? [2012-02-19 16:39:18] Ilya: Yeah, don't volunteer the services of others. [2012-02-19 16:39:25] Aleksei\Gaia: I can help! [2012-02-19 16:39:51] DM: Alright. The verdict is? [2012-02-19 16:40:26] Taranis: Would mending do enough to the planks to let us cross safely? [2012-02-19 16:40:30] Taranis: forgetting about long-term? [2012-02-19 16:40:43] Taranis: if not, how wide is the river? [2012-02-19 16:41:10] Ilya: If not let's just find the next crossing. [2012-02-19 16:41:31] Taranis: (might be able to cross via floating disk if it's < 30 ft wide) [2012-02-19 16:41:45] » DM left the chat room. [2012-02-19 16:41:51] Ilya: lol [2012-02-19 16:41:52] » xthehome joined the chat room. [2012-02-19 16:41:54] Bolgan: aww [2012-02-19 16:42:07] Taranis: Clearly the idea of using magic to avoid mundane issues killed the DM [2012-02-19 16:42:08] » xthehome is now known as DM. [2012-02-19 16:42:16] DM: ok… so what's the verdict? [2012-02-19 16:42:22] Taranis: (mending repairs 1d4 points of damage to objects; would this work on the bridge planks?) [2012-02-19 16:42:43] Ilya: ^- answer question [2012-02-19 16:42:47] Ilya: then verdict [2012-02-19 16:42:47] DM: Fair enough. It'd take about a day or so. [2012-02-19 16:42:57] Aleksei\Gaia: A day to cast Mending? [2012-02-19 16:43:03] Elias: Elias has no real carpentry skills [2012-02-19 16:43:04] Taranis: to cast it umpteen times [2012-02-19 16:43:05] DM: A day to cast mending repeatedly. [2012-02-19 16:43:07] Taranis: or we can just go around [2012-02-19 16:43:13] Ilya: the bridge has taken 1000000d4 damage [2012-02-19 16:43:19] DM: I mean… not an entire day. [2012-02-19 16:43:22] Aleksei\Gaia: So now hang on [2012-02-19 16:43:30] Aleksei\Gaia: Would that cause the bridge to be fixed permanently? [2012-02-19 16:43:32] Elias: so he's probably either is reading his books or tending the centipede eggs [2012-02-19 16:43:35] Taranis: at least a couple hours, and tomorrow since I do not have the spell prepared [2012-02-19 16:43:58] DM: Well, let's say 2 hours of effort would get the bridge to a point where Large creatures could probably cross it one at a time safely. [2012-02-19 16:44:09] Taranis: (more to the point, we'd have to mending each plank, rather than the whole bridge) [2012-02-19 16:44:32] Ilya: Well Aleksei [2012-02-19 16:44:37] Ilya: You want to do that? [2012-02-19 16:44:47] Taranis: So, rest, prep mending, and do some work on the bridge, or ride around to another bridge? [2012-02-19 16:44:48] DM: That… would probably get you to the thicket by the end of the day. [2012-02-19 16:44:58] Ilya: well Aleksei can do it, right? [2012-02-19 16:45:02] Ilya: mending is a cleric spell [2012-02-19 16:45:03] Aleksei\Gaia: I can? [2012-02-19 16:45:05] Aleksei\Gaia: Oh [2012-02-19 16:45:06] Ilya: right? [2012-02-19 16:45:06] Aleksei\Gaia: Then sure [2012-02-19 16:45:07] Taranis: (I've put the dust of illusion on the party inventory) [2012-02-19 16:45:23] Taranis: (it is everything but magus 0; poor garic) [2012-02-19 16:45:25] DM: A ford actually, but yes. [2012-02-19 16:45:39] Aleksei\Gaia: So sure [2012-02-19 16:45:42] DM: ok… So… Aleksei and Taranis are going at it? [2012-02-19 16:45:48] Aleksei\Gaia: I'll prep Mending tomorrow [2012-02-19 16:45:51] DM: Ok. [2012-02-19 16:45:52] Taranis: We have to prepare it tomorrow [2012-02-19 16:45:53] Aleksei\Gaia: And fix things [2012-02-19 16:45:54] Ilya: oh so we're going to rest here? [2012-02-19 16:45:56] Taranis: neither of us have it prepared [2012-02-19 16:45:56] Ilya: fine whatevs [2012-02-19 16:46:05] DM: ok [2012-02-19 16:46:07] Ilya: yeah I don't know how 0 level spells work [2012-02-19 16:46:09] Ilya: my bad [2012-02-19 16:46:22] Taranis: cast at-will, but need to prepare them as usual if a prepared caster [2012-02-19 16:46:33] Aleksei\Gaia: Yep [2012-02-19 16:46:47] DM: You get the bridge stabilized a bit. It still needs a bunch of work, but you feel confident that it'll support your horses now. [2012-02-19 16:46:53] Taranis: good enough for now [2012-02-19 16:47:05] DM: At least, support one at a time. [2012-02-19 16:47:11] Ilya: and nothing attacks us in the night [2012-02-19 16:47:12] Taranis: Once we cross I'll be reading that book via comprehend languages [2012-02-19 16:47:14] DM: Nope. [2012-02-19 16:47:20] Ilya: good [2012-02-19 16:47:35] DM: The book's contents will be provided via forum post. [2012-02-19 16:49:07] DM: Now that that's done, you spend the better part of a day exploring the area and looking for the berries. [2012-02-19 16:50:01] DM: Finally, you arrive in a long, thin valley between two low hills, within which lies a dense patch of rasberry-like bushes. [2012-02-19 16:50:18] DM: The thorny thicket is draped in the white gossamer silk of spider webs. [2012-02-19 16:50:38] Aleksei\Gaia: Hmmm [2012-02-19 16:50:52] DM: Harvesting the berries goes slowly -- Accessing the best berries without getting lacerated by the thousands of thorns is tricky. [2012-02-19 16:50:57] DM: Roll up some survival checks. [2012-02-19 16:51:00] DM: 4 [2012-02-19 16:51:20] DM: One person, 4 checks for the entire party.

[2012-02-19 16:53:14] Taranis: that's also like… half an hour or more of picking berries [2012-02-19 16:53:16] Bolgan: or fight housecats [2012-02-19 16:53:33] Aleksei\Gaia: The goddess heals those who... pick berries...! I guess. [2012-02-19 16:53:34] Trip: I maintain that since all I have is dex, I should at least have a chance to employ it.

[2012-02-19 16:54:18] DM: Now, as you're picking berries... [2012-02-19 16:54:23] DM: you also attract some attention. [2012-02-19 16:55:29] DM: About halfway thorugh the process, a spider pops up and bites Aleksei.

[2012-02-19 17:04:45] Ilya: does so [2012-02-19 17:04:47] Taranis: maybe they would listen to Elias saying "nice spiders, we taste bad" [2012-02-19 17:05:17] Ilya: How do I light these things... [2012-02-19 17:05:20] DM: Alright… Nikolai runs over to Aleksei and grabs some torches. [2012-02-19 17:05:32] Ilya: yes, Nikolai does that [2012-02-19 17:05:33] DM: A good question! [2012-02-19 17:05:34] Ilya: :p [2012-02-19 17:05:34] Bolgan: how about we light that lower-case t over there on fire [2012-02-19 17:05:47] Bolgan: the one that stands for "time to leave" [2012-02-19 17:05:51] Taranis: No, Nikolai picks one of his low-level spells and explodes everything, including us. [2012-02-19 17:05:55] Ilya: yes [2012-02-19 17:05:56] Taranis: Ilya grabs some torches [2012-02-19 17:06:00] DM: err… Ilya [2012-02-19 17:06:04] DM: /forehead [2012-02-19 17:06:08] Ilya: Nikolai is like FLAMESTRIKE [2012-02-19 17:06:12] Ilya: and things explode [2012-02-19 17:06:14] DM: Ilya runs over and grabs torches.

[2012-02-19 17:11:04] Ilya: why did i get these torches if we're running [2012-02-19 17:11:08] DM: Are you doing something other than running? [2012-02-19 17:11:21] Elias: it's impossible to empathy a swarm isn't it [2012-02-19 17:11:39] Ilya: someone come over here and light these torches [2012-02-19 17:11:56] Aleksei\Gaia: No one's running [2012-02-19 17:12:00] Taranis: well then [2012-02-19 17:12:02] Aleksei\Gaia: Someone's going to light the torches [2012-02-19 17:12:03] DM: They're listed as vermin [2012-02-19 17:12:05] Aleksei\Gaia: Like maybe me [2012-02-19 17:12:12] Aleksei\Gaia: I was going to get some lamp oil [2012-02-19 17:12:13] Elias: I'll try empathying them? [2012-02-19 17:12:14] Aleksei\Gaia: Spill it [2012-02-19 17:12:19] Aleksei\Gaia: Lure the swarms into it [2012-02-19 17:12:21] Elias: before they set them on fire? [2012-02-19 17:12:22] Aleksei\Gaia: And light it up [2012-02-19 17:12:26] Trip: I figured we were smiting. [2012-02-19 17:12:34] Taranis: If that fails, I will move and hydraulic push a swarm away [2012-02-19 17:12:46] Aleksei: fyi: [2012-02-19 17:12:47] Aleksei: Vulnerabilities Of Swarms [2012-02-19 17:12:47] Aleksei: Swarms are extremely difficult to fight with physical attacks. However, they have a few special vulnerabilities, as follows: [2012-02-19 17:12:47] Aleksei: A lit torch swung as an improvised weapon deals 1d3 points of fire damage per hit. [2012-02-19 17:13:09] Aleksei\Gaia: As for the lamp oil, I dunno, Oliver will have to decide how/if that works, damage-wise [2012-02-19 17:13:10] DM: Roll up the empathy. [2012-02-19 17:13:11] Elias: right well I'll try wild empathy [2012-02-19 17:13:13] Aleksei\Gaia: Seems like it should though [2012-02-19 17:13:20] Elias: !try 3 [2012-02-19 17:13:20] DiceBot: rolls attempts for Elias : [2012-02-19 17:13:21] DiceBot: 1d20 < 18 = 18 > + 3 = 21 [2012-02-19 17:13:23] Ilya: did we have any extra alchemist's fire? [2012-02-19 17:13:41] Taranis: I have a vial of it [2012-02-19 17:13:44] Aleksei: A pint of oil burns for 6 hours in a lantern or lamp. You can also use a flask of oil as a splash weapon. Use the rules for alchemist's fire (see Special Substances and Items on Table: Goods and Services), except that it takes a full-round action to prepare a flask with a fuse. Once it is thrown, there is a 50% chance of the flask igniting successfully. [2012-02-19 17:13:49] Ilya: so that can light the torches [2012-02-19 17:13:54] Ilya: after you throw it at the swarm [2012-02-19 17:13:54] Aleksei: I have 10 pints of it. [2012-02-19 17:14:01] Ilya: and then we can pour lamp oil [2012-02-19 17:14:05] Ilya: to fuel it [2012-02-19 17:14:06] Taranis: let's see what the empathy does? [2012-02-19 17:14:13] DM: Indeed. [2012-02-19 17:14:16] Aleksei: Also I can cast Spark [2012-02-19 17:14:18] DM: Well… [2012-02-19 17:14:19] Aleksei: As I have it prepped [2012-02-19 17:14:31] Ilya: does that work? [2012-02-19 17:14:32] Ilya: ok [2012-02-19 17:15:35] DM: Elias is unable to distract the swarm with soothing words alone, but is able to get them off of you by throwing a bunch of rations off to the side. [2012-02-19 17:15:53] Ilya: oh what come on we need those :( [2012-02-19 17:15:57] DM: Tick off a day's worth of rations. [2012-02-19 17:16:09] Elias: sigh [2012-02-19 17:16:20] Trip: rations for everyone or just Elias? [2012-02-19 17:16:21] Elias: guess I'll just stick with my centipedes then [2012-02-19 17:16:28] Aleksei\Gaia: The spiders think I am less delicious than rations?!

[2012-02-19 17:17:05] Aleksei\Gaia: Because that is clearly false [2012-02-19 17:17:19] DM: Well, they did snack a bit. [2012-02-19 17:17:27] DM: So… Aleksei, roll up some more fort if you would. [2012-02-19 17:17:35] Trip: Have you tried eating a band-aid? Ick. [2012-02-19 17:17:48] Aleksei\Gaia: So um [2012-02-19 17:17:53] Aleksei\Gaia: What happened when I failed the first fort save [2012-02-19 17:17:55] Aleksei\Gaia: Anything?

[2012-02-19 17:19:16] DM: Wild empathy doesn't make you friends with a critter. [2012-02-19 17:19:52] DM: Just like the changes to diplomacy, it lets you influence a critter's reaction. [2012-02-19 17:20:08] DM: Like for example by getting it to not attack you. [2012-02-19 17:20:22] DM: Anything beyond that requires a concerted long-term effort. [2012-02-19 17:20:32] DM: And animal handling checks.

[2012-02-19 17:22:54] DM: Well, since the spiders are distracted… let's use the same init but with you having a surprise round. [2012-02-19 17:22:54] Ilya: I don't see a reason to continue with init [2012-02-19 17:22:59] Bolgan: sounds to me like we just won [2012-02-19 17:22:59] Ilya: given the plan I just laid out [2012-02-19 17:23:06] Ilya: but in case I'm wrong [2012-02-19 17:23:26] DM: Well… if that's what you're doing... [2012-02-19 17:23:30] Ilya: Aleksei goes first and lights the torches [2012-02-19 17:23:34] Ilya: I'll hand them out [2012-02-19 17:23:39] DM: That's two touch attacks for the oil.

[2012-02-19 17:27:10] DM: The splash gets some of the swarm in it, but not a huce amount. [2012-02-19 17:27:11] DM: Trip? [2012-02-19 17:27:16] Elias: told you I'd pay for those good rolls eariler [2012-02-19 17:27:18] DM: Also throwing. [2012-02-19 17:27:24] Taranis: alternatley, I could push the swarm into the oil, but that involves water [2012-02-19 17:27:25] DM: Also throwing? [2012-02-19 17:27:41] Ilya: Trip is throwing if she wants to roll :P [2012-02-19 17:28:46] Ilya: but maybe she doesn't! [2012-02-19 17:28:49] Ilya: or maybe she exploded [2012-02-19 17:28:52] Ilya: perhaps she... [2012-02-19 17:28:53] Ilya: Tripped [2012-02-19 17:28:56] DM: perhaps.

[2012-02-19 17:31:31] DM: Axes won't do much to the swarm. [2012-02-19 17:31:42] Trip: Fine I'll throw oil [2012-02-19 17:31:43] Ilya: because the oil will light on fire. [2012-02-19 17:31:48] Ilya: and fire kills swarms [2012-02-19 17:31:52] Ilya: axes don't kill anything.

[2012-02-19 17:44:42] Ilya: Will they show remorse and change their people-biting ways? [2012-02-19 17:44:46] Elias: You really think those bandits won't every do anything wrong again? [2012-02-19 17:44:51] Ilya: Of course not. [2012-02-19 17:44:56] Aleksei\Gaia: People are redeemable!

[2012-02-19 17:47:58] Elias: so unless someone ate all the other rations, we're still fine [2012-02-19 17:48:11] Aleksei\Gaia: At this rate we can just wait until the spiders die of diabetes and/or heart attacks :| [2012-02-19 17:48:12] Ilya: I meant all the rations you threw [2012-02-19 17:48:22] Elias: the one ration [2012-02-19 17:48:25] Elias: that's all I threw [2012-02-19 17:48:26] DM: It was indeed one day's worth. [2012-02-19 17:48:29] Ilya: one day's worth [2012-02-19 17:48:39] Ilya: which is ration(s) plural and not ration singular [2012-02-19 17:48:42] Ilya: but anyway [2012-02-19 17:48:48] Taranis: certainly not all [2012-02-19 17:48:55] DM: It's not rational. [2012-02-19 17:48:59] Ilya: 2 + 3i [2012-02-19 17:49:16] DM: At any rate. I… think things are getting a bit tenser here than I'd like to see in a game. [2012-02-19 17:49:21] Aleksei\Gaia: multiplies the rations by 2 - 3i [2012-02-19 17:49:25] Aleksei\Gaia: SHIT JUST GOT REAL. [2012-02-19 17:49:29] Ilya: so given Elias's crying over spider carcasses [2012-02-19 17:49:32] Ilya: should we run away now [2012-02-19 17:49:49] Ilya: I'm willing to let bygones be bygones with these spiders [2012-02-19 17:49:57] Aleksei\Gaia: Man [2012-02-19 17:49:58] Ilya: But if they come to kill us again so help me [2012-02-19 17:50:07] Aleksei\Gaia: Are we gonna have to come back here again then [2012-02-19 17:50:22] Bolgan: let Mr. Samurai Trainer get his own berries [2012-02-19 17:50:29] Bolgan: doesn't he also train spiders or something [2012-02-19 17:50:33] Ilya: but then he'll get eaten by spiders [2012-02-19 17:50:38] Ilya: and then who will make us potions [2012-02-19 17:50:45] Aleksei\Gaia: What if he trains the spiders to be samurai [2012-02-19 17:50:48] Aleksei\Gaia: And they murder us all [2012-02-19 17:50:54] DM: ok… [2012-02-19 17:50:55] Bolgan: that would be problematic [2012-02-19 17:50:55] Aleksei\Gaia: Then we'll feel dumb. [2012-02-19 17:50:58] Bolgan: you have a point [2012-02-19 17:51:00] Bolgan: never mind. [2012-02-19 17:51:02] Ilya: well if he trains them they'd be on our side right? [2012-02-19 17:51:04] DM: This is not going anywhere productive. [2012-02-19 17:51:07] DM: I'm calling it here. [2012-02-19 17:51:08] Aleksei\Gaia: No he's a jerk [2012-02-19 17:51:19] DM: We're done for tonight. [2012-02-19 17:51:25] Trip: Maybe he sent us here to be spirder food. [2012-02-19 17:51:42] Aleksei\Gaia: ! [2012-02-19 17:52:08] Elias: o...kay? [2012-02-19 17:53:14] Aleksei\Gaia: I guess we leave [2012-02-19 17:53:25] Aleksei\Gaia: Is what I think the conclusion is [2012-02-19 17:53:29] DM: Well... [2012-02-19 17:53:52] DM: Ok, let me ask a quick question… because I'm seeing some stuff going on here that seems a touch dickish. [2012-02-19 17:54:54] Trip: Just people trying to play their characters honestly, most likely. [2012-02-19 17:54:57] Taranis: We have a character here who likes vermin. That is no secret. Now if we're going to run into vermin and have no peaceful way (aside from running away) to resolve the encounter... [2012-02-19 17:55:01] DM: Are there issues here that will be a problem outside of RP. [2012-02-19 17:55:03] DM: ? [2012-02-19 17:55:05] Taranis: What is that character supposed to do? [2012-02-19 17:55:18] Aleksei\Gaia: Nah? [2012-02-19 17:55:21] Ilya: outside of RP? [2012-02-19 17:55:23] Ilya: what [2012-02-19 17:55:27] Elias: I'm playing a ranger, who likes vermin, and we're fighting vermin [2012-02-19 17:55:30] DM: Well, let me put it another way. [2012-02-19 17:55:43] Elias: my only way to not kill them is only able to distract them [2012-02-19 17:55:43] DM: Are there issues here that will impact party cohesiveness. [2012-02-19 17:55:45] Taranis: No, I don't think this is going to result in Erin wanting to stab Ian or Sandy [2012-02-19 17:55:50] Elias: not convince them to not attack us [2012-02-19 17:55:54] Elias: No it's not [2012-02-19 17:56:01] Elias: just means I'll have to change the character [2012-02-19 17:56:10] Aleksei\Gaia: (all Erin wanting to stab Sandy is already taken care of in our PF game :x ) [2012-02-19 17:56:14] Ilya: he may like vermin [2012-02-19 17:56:17] Elias: two of the party are telling the ranger they want to kill nature [2012-02-19 17:56:20] Ilya: but do vermin like him? [2012-02-19 17:56:30] Ilya: answer: vermin are incapable of liking things! [2012-02-19 17:56:33] Trip: It might be an unrequited love. [2012-02-19 17:56:36] Ilya: they just eat you [2012-02-19 17:56:52] Aleksei\Gaia: It's a Shakesperean tragedy [2012-02-19 17:56:54] Elias: well when I made the character I was under the impression it was just a disgusting type of ranger pet [2012-02-19 17:57:00] Elias: if that's not the case then I'll change the character [2012-02-19 17:57:01] Aleksei\Gaia: Romeo and Bugjuliet [2012-02-19 17:57:06] Taranis: Here's a question for the DM [2012-02-19 17:57:19] Trip: Roacheo and Juliet [2012-02-19 17:57:19] Taranis: what sort of diplomacy / wild empathy DC would be required to get the vermin to actually walk away? [2012-02-19 17:57:30] Taranis: (assuming we hadn't done any direct attack at them yet) [2012-02-19 17:57:32] Aleksei\Gaia: iirc [2012-02-19 17:57:35] Elias: because if what I want to play isn't viable, then I'll change the character [2012-02-19 17:57:36] Aleksei\Gaia: Vermin are mindless [2012-02-19 17:57:37] DM: That last check was in fact just that. [2012-02-19 17:57:39] Elias: simple as that [2012-02-19 17:57:42] Aleksei\Gaia: As in their Int scores are — [2012-02-19 17:57:52] DM: The spiders would not have bothered you further. [2012-02-19 17:57:59] Taranis: Well that was sure as hell not clear [2012-02-19 17:58:06] Taranis: I thought we'd bought a roun or two [2012-02-19 17:58:18] Ilya: yeah [2012-02-19 17:58:23] Ilya: also [2012-02-19 17:58:27] Trip: Last thing we want is to get pounced again two rounds later because we failed to splat them. [2012-02-19 17:58:30] DM: Ok, I will make my flavor text clearer then. [2012-02-19 17:58:40] Ilya: Ilya's concern was the spiders would continue to attack people who wanted berries. [2012-02-19 17:58:45] Aleksei\Gaia: The other thing is that I, and also Aleksei, ... right [2012-02-19 17:58:47] Aleksei\Gaia: that [2012-02-19 17:58:53] Aleksei\Gaia: it would suck to be like [2012-02-19 17:58:55] Aleksei\Gaia: Ok mr. druid [2012-02-19 17:58:59] Ilya: clearly the berries are a thing we want for our potions [2012-02-19 17:59:01] Aleksei\Gaia: We cleared out aaaalll the bandits [2012-02-19 17:59:06] Aleksei\Gaia: Go pick your own damn berries now [2012-02-19 17:59:08] Aleksei\Gaia: And he's like [2012-02-19 17:59:09] Aleksei\Gaia: Nope [2012-02-19 17:59:12] Aleksei\Gaia: There are spiders. [2012-02-19 17:59:13] Ilya: so it doesn't make sense to just leave this resource guarded by things [2012-02-19 17:59:16] Aleksei\Gaia: And we're like grrrrrr [2012-02-19 17:59:18] Ilya: when it is a thing we need [2012-02-19 17:59:39] DM: Well, note the description of the area. [2012-02-19 17:59:42] Ilya: also The Giant passed $1M! [2012-02-19 17:59:43] Ilya: woo [2012-02-19 17:59:48] DM: It's shrouded in spider webs. [2012-02-19 17:59:51] Ilya: yeah [2012-02-19 17:59:53] Aleksei: Right [2012-02-19 17:59:55] Aleksei: We got that [2012-02-19 17:59:58] Ilya: and this is where the berries come from [2012-02-19 17:59:59] Ilya: right? [2012-02-19 18:00:02] Taranis: So presumably people will not wander in unaware [2012-02-19 18:00:06] Aleksei: Ok but [2012-02-19 18:00:06] Trip: Is anyone else slightly weirded out by this success? [2012-02-19 18:00:09] Ilya: I saw the spiders coming! [2012-02-19 18:00:10] Aleksei: They won't wander in *at all* [2012-02-19 18:00:16] Aleksei: Which is the opposite of what we want [2012-02-19 18:00:18] Ilya: right [2012-02-19 18:00:25] Taranis: if someone does want berries, they'll know there is a risk of spiders [2012-02-19 18:00:27] Ilya: we want this to be a safe place for people to gather reagents [2012-02-19 18:00:32] Aleksei: We want people who are not us to be able to come here so that we don't have to [2012-02-19 18:00:33] Ilya: not have to deal with spiders. [2012-02-19 18:00:34] Taranis: (granted we can presumably cultivate these berries elsewhere) [2012-02-19 18:00:55] DM: Indeed, there are other options if you're interested in preserving the natural habitat of the majestic chew spider. [2012-02-19 18:00:55] Ilya: well what if I want to build a lumber mill here [2012-02-19 18:00:57] Ilya: or a barracks [2012-02-19 18:01:05] Aleksei: After all [2012-02-19 18:01:06] Ilya: or! [2012-02-19 18:01:07] DM: >.< [2012-02-19 18:01:10] Aleksei: We are bringing civilization [2012-02-19 18:01:11] Bolgan: I think that large construction like that [2012-02-19 18:01:12] Ilya: a gryphon roost [2012-02-19 18:01:16] Aleksei: Not like, maintaining the sanctity of whatever [2012-02-19 18:01:23] Bolgan: is a far better way of clearing an entire area of vermin [2012-02-19 18:01:33] Ilya: well we have to clear the area first [2012-02-19 18:01:35] Bolgan: as opposed to hunting them down on the side of a quest for berries [2012-02-19 18:01:38] Aleksei: Thing is though [2012-02-19 18:01:38] Ilya: then we can build our Tier 3 units [2012-02-19 18:01:41] Aleksei: If we clear the area [2012-02-19 18:01:43] Aleksei: There won't be berries [2012-02-19 18:01:45] Bolgan: because then people will actually be clearing shit [2012-02-19 18:01:47] Bolgan: with construction [2012-02-19 18:01:47] Ilya: ok well [2012-02-19 18:01:49] Aleksei: And that means no potions [2012-02-19 18:01:52] Ilya: that was an example [2012-02-19 18:02:02] Ilya: not necessarily a thing we'd want to do [2012-02-19 18:02:05] Aleksei: Sure [2012-02-19 18:02:14] Ilya: my point is our job here is to make the lands safe for us to colonize [2012-02-19 18:02:14] Aleksei: The general point though is that we want to strike a balance [2012-02-19 18:02:15] Ilya: w [2012-02-19 18:02:18] Aleksei: It's not like we're going [2012-02-19 18:02:21] Elias: Well I read that "we burn nature to the ground with fire" essentially was the plan [2012-02-19 18:02:25] Ilya: no no [2012-02-19 18:02:26] Elias: what kind of ranger agrees with that? [2012-02-19 18:02:27] Ilya: just spiders. [2012-02-19 18:02:29] Aleksei: GRRR WE HATE ALL NATURE GRRR BURN IT AAAAALLLL DOWN [2012-02-19 18:02:36] Bolgan: fair enough [2012-02-19 18:02:40] DM: Ilya was bitten by a spider at a young age. [2012-02-19 18:02:43] Elias: That's the implication I got from all the discussion [2012-02-19 18:02:48] Ilya: does that make me spiderman [2012-02-19 18:02:52] Aleksei: It's totally just [2012-02-19 18:02:56] DM: No, just afraid of spider.s [2012-02-19 18:03:00] Bolgan: my thought was simply that this seemed excessive, especially when our swarm-fighting tools are not so great [2012-02-19 18:03:04] Ilya: isn't afraid of spiders [2012-02-19 18:03:06] Aleksei: We leave nature alone except insofar as it causes us inconvenience [2012-02-19 18:03:15] Bolgan: is afraid of errythang [2012-02-19 18:03:19] Aleksei: At which point we attempt to reason with it [2012-02-19 18:03:24] Elias: which is fine [2012-02-19 18:03:25] Aleksei: Sadly spiders are immune to this [2012-02-19 18:03:30] Taranis: certainly encounters with swarms we are poorly equipped to damage is poor [2012-02-19 18:03:33] Trip: ,,,,And then we blow the snot out of it if it does. [2012-02-19 18:03:37] Elias: but when the party says "we burn all nature that gets in our way" [2012-02-19 18:03:37] Aleksei: Unless you propose to install a hive mind in the spiders [2012-02-19 18:03:38] Taranis: spiders are not immune to "reasoning" via this ranger [2012-02-19 18:03:42] Aleksei: Complete with sorcerer levels [2012-02-19 18:03:51] Trip: THAT seems to be the rule of the human condition. outside game GRUMBLE GRUMBLE [2012-02-19 18:04:03] Elias: then it becomes an issue when it conflicts with the very class you're playing [2012-02-19 18:04:07] Elias: that's why he reacted that way [2012-02-19 18:04:10] Aleksei: Indeed [2012-02-19 18:04:10] Bolgan: man, if real humans had real sorcerer levels . . . [2012-02-19 18:04:18] Bolgan: gg vermin [2012-02-19 18:04:22] Ilya: fact [2012-02-19 18:04:24] Taranis: that would suck for other humans :P [2012-02-19 18:04:25] Ilya: I mean to be fair [2012-02-19 18:04:26] Bolgan: gg ecosystems [2012-02-19 18:04:27] Bolgan: etc. [2012-02-19 18:04:28] Ilya: in real life [2012-02-19 18:04:31] Elias: you're basically telling him his way of thinking is wrong and should be burned.... [2012-02-19 18:04:32] Ilya: we kill vermin all the time [2012-02-19 18:04:37] Ilya: with various technological prowess [2012-02-19 18:04:38] Aleksei: I was actually suggesting that the SPIDERS get the sorcerer levels [2012-02-19 18:04:40] Elias: yes I realize this [2012-02-19 18:04:46] Aleksei: As that is the effect of hivemindedness [2012-02-19 18:04:47] Bolgan: I know [2012-02-19 18:04:49] Aleksei: k. [2012-02-19 18:04:50] Elias: he's not against killing them if no other option presents itself [2012-02-19 18:04:50] Bolgan: but fuck that [2012-02-19 18:04:53] Ilya: lol [2012-02-19 18:04:55] Elias: like the cavern with the centipede [2012-02-19 18:05:01] Elias: here we could run [2012-02-19 18:05:06] Trip: We essentially have real sorcery. It's called technology and a massive population. [2012-02-19 18:05:07] Elias: or find a different berry field [2012-02-19 18:05:16] Aleksei: The question is [2012-02-19 18:05:19] Aleksei: Is there a different one [2012-02-19 18:05:20] Elias: or, as I thought, reason with them [2012-02-19 18:05:25] Bolgan: but why are there always bugs around :/ [2012-02-19 18:05:26] Elias: but since I can't.... [2012-02-19 18:05:28] Aleksei: If we find out that there IS a different berry field [2012-02-19 18:05:29] Ilya: the other berry field is protected by centipedes [2012-02-19 18:05:33] Bolgan: we totally need sorcerer levels [2012-02-19 18:05:33] Ilya: in an ironic twist [2012-02-19 18:05:41] Aleksei: And this druid sent us to this berry field which has spiders while the other one does not [2012-02-19 18:05:42] Trip: For the record, even the berries in this patch are dangerous. [2012-02-19 18:05:42] Ilya: i am taking sorcerer levels! [2012-02-19 18:05:42] DM: You could probably move over to a different part of the chasm, yes. [2012-02-19 18:05:44] Aleksei: Oh man [2012-02-19 18:05:47] Aleksei: Gonna be so mad [2012-02-19 18:05:57] Bolgan: lol [2012-02-19 18:06:01] Ilya: yeah me too [2012-02-19 18:06:02] Taranis: no, the other one has dragons [2012-02-19 18:06:04] Bolgan: if you want to pick a thing to be mad about [2012-02-19 18:06:05] Ilya: we should in fact [2012-02-19 18:06:05] Ilya: g [2012-02-19 18:06:08] Ilya: o to that berry patch [2012-02-19 18:06:11] Elias: so no, I'm not mad out of character [2012-02-19 18:06:12] Ilya: and see if it has spiders [2012-02-19 18:06:16] Bolgan: be mad that we got sent for berries whose patches KILL COMMONERS [2012-02-19 18:06:21] Elias: I'm just playing a ranger who was told everything he loves should be burned :P [2012-02-19 18:06:24] Bolgan: wtf 5 damage worth of thorns? [2012-02-19 18:06:30] Ilya: well [2012-02-19 18:06:38] Ilya: presumably commoners would stop before they got upt o 5 damage [2012-02-19 18:06:42] DM: That is, to be fair, over the course of several dozen minutes. [2012-02-19 18:06:45] Bolgan: oh fine [2012-02-19 18:06:48] Bolgan: I can live with that [2012-02-19 18:06:49] Taranis: like, commoners would take 1 damage at the edge and turn back [2012-02-19 18:06:50] Ilya: that was 5 damage for an hour of picking [2012-02-19 18:06:50] Ilya: o [2012-02-19 18:06:51] Ilya: r something [2012-02-19 18:06:58] Aleksei: And then I was like [2012-02-19 18:07:00] Ilya: man why does colloquy keep doing that [2012-02-19 18:07:11] Aleksei: You're being stabbed by thorns? Too bad, get stabbed some more, I'm not healing you yet [2012-02-19 18:07:22] Aleksei: And only after you all were finished being stabbed [2012-02-19 18:07:23] Aleksei: Heals.
