I don't know what our immediate plans are, but whether I can take him along or not, I need to go visit Bell before we start any new long journeys.

Noted.

By the way, this game has been reasonably combat light so far. Do you guys want more combat? I've avoided dungeons as much as humanely possible.

[Dracos]

I actually haven't minded or felt we were that combat light.  I think we've done on average two combats per three sessions.  I do enjoy combat and all being a combat badass type, but yeah, seems like it's going alright :)

Dungeons are whether you want to run them really.  Not entirely sure they fit thusfar.

I'm trying to avoid hack'n'slash dungeons altogether. I'd rather have social interactions and planar hijinks, not crawling. The only one I can really think of is the air maze - granted, the Planes lend themselves to some amazing designs.

[Dracos]

If you want to run dungeons, go ahead.  I'm really not having a problem with the planar hijinks nor the use of semi-random encounters and villians with a grudge as a source of combat so far :)

[Anastasia]

I'm not saying I really want to. Read a few posts up. <_<

As long as combat has context, I'm fine with it. But I don't want to just get into random fights, unless we actually go somewhere where random fights happen (Ysgard, planes full of predators, etc). It's far more fun to fight for something than to just fight, or to have some small combat be clearly part of a bigger picture, such as an ongoing feud or a long-term operation to accomplish some goal. It's putting your life on the line, nobody takes that lightly (even if they enjoy it, yes I know Knight is a blood knight who goes to an arena for fun and profit.)

Ditto on dungeons. I'm against exploring lethal deathtraps just because. I'm all for exploring them because they contain things we need.

Re: Combat levels - Actually I think we're pretty good here where we are. Fighting every game is by no means nessesary for me to have fun, y'know?

Re: Dungeon Crawlin' - IIRC, you're already aware of my oppinion on classic dungeon crawling antics, which is somewhere between "meh" and "oh god not again". The very occasional one with a good reason for being there is fine, but I really don't care for them being the focus point of games. Planar hijinx is also so much more amusing in general anyway.

In short, the way things are going now is a-okay by me~

What those other guys said.

[Zephyrus]

To reiterate what others have said, I'm perfectly happy with how things are being run at the moment. I think the game is a very nice mixture of light combat and character interaction, which is mostly what I enjoy in games.

[Anastasia]

Okay, what's your guy's todo list while in Stratusberg?

[Carthrat]

We're probably here for a few days.

I'll pick up Bell, and I don't know. Duking it out in the arena no longer appeals since I'm not indebted to anyone. I might go find some expat tavern and listen to rumours, see if I can hear about what's going on in other planes?

[Anastasia]

List:

1. Knight picks up Bel.
2. Knight goes cruising in a strange tavern for...ah...information. Yes. Planar information.

[Dracos]

3. Kamvakua takes his 3 days of bed rest + Lesser Restoration x2 per day.  5 castings it seems to get back to full strength.  Gains new respect for god damn poison. 

<Kamvakua> roll 1d4
<Penuche> Kamvakua invokes Penuche's magic: < 1 > [d4=1]
<Kamvakua> roll 1d4
<Penuche> Kamvakua invokes Penuche's magic: < 4 > [d4=4]
<Kamvakua> roll 1d4
<Penuche> Kamvakua invokes Penuche's magic: < 3 > [d4=3]
<Kamvakua> roll 1d4
<Penuche> Kamvakua invokes Penuche's magic: < 3 > [d4=3]
<Kamvakua> roll 1d4
<Penuche> Kamvakua invokes Penuche's magic: < 3 > [d4=3]

[Anastasia]

List:

1. Knight picks up Bel.
2. Knight goes cruising in a strange tavern for...ah...information. Yes. Planar information.
3. Kamvakua whimpers and stabs poison in the face until it dies, while resting up in bed for a few days.

Depending on when you're playing it, I may try to have Adail tag along with Knight this time. He doesn't have anything else to do back in Air though.
