Random DM nagging.

So it wouldn't be a stretch to say that our actions are probably a marriage of convenience for her.

Something like that. Pragmatism exists. After all, the celestials are generally ignoring the devils here, so long as they're also trying to close the rift. It can be better to hold your nose and work together in some cases, the Abyss is good at inspiring that.

[Anastasia]

Yuth, you're up. Poking here in case it gets your attention.

<Ebiris> haha
<Chibi-Ko> Sheet says 58
> Spell Resistance: 58 (18Racial+15Level+25Monk)
<Chibi-Ko> o_o
> Monk SR doesn't stack with racial SR. I'm fairly sure I told him that, probably just didn't get fixed for whatever reason.

Check your SR, Iddy. Monk doesn't stack with racial SR. You use whichever is better. In this case it's your racial SR, which with leveling is 33.

Since the puzzle here was figured out, I'm posting this with alterations to make things more visible. The single letters were originally colored purple while the messages were 1pt in size and white colored to blend into the forum default background.

The island is an island of rock and stone that rises in the beautiful sea because the clocks are finally dead and we can sob with relief because we must keep going and we can't stop and won't stop because to stop would be wrong and we can't be wrong like the clocks and we have to be right instead of wrong because being wrong is the worst thing of all and kills our love.

Prayers and magic.If you can see this, there is still hope.[/size]

Failure.

The poison sun beats down. It SUFFOCATES all your magic. The poison is killing you. You have to do something or you will die.

The presence chokes you. The hate, the venom and scorn of that eye ruin everything. Ruin it like your lives, like parents abandoned by their cowardly, fleeing son. A hopeless mess, the same as a daughter who fails to live up to her mother's hopes. A cast away ruin, like a fragment of a forgotten and meaningless race.

You have to do something or you will die. But the sun is stopping you. The sun is killing you. The sun will ensure that you die. The eye is watching your funeral. The death of an island, irrelevant in a sea of venom.

Reality and the Astral are dying in a tidal wave of poison.Look closely, power is not the answer here.[/size]

You are dying in poison.Pure evil cannot fathom trusting in another.[/size]

50 damage to all.

Act, y'all. Suffice to say reality is still in a state of being highly borked so normal results are ambiguous at best.

Quick question: Are y'all taking Aurora back to Ysgard once this is done, or are you going somewhere else?

[Ebiris]

Lets go somewhere else for a change. How about Water?

[Nephrite]

I have no preference, though Moore is always fine with the first layer of Celestia, though that's probably not feasible for a variety of reasons.

[Yuthirin]

Water!

I think this all went rather well, eh?

[Corwin]

I wanted to try one of the lower planes to stop hiding out in safe places, but Water's fine with me for this destination.

[Iron Dragoon]

Water is fine. I have water breathing anyway, so it's all good.

So I was conversing with Dune this morning when I noticed that the r in Failure was purple. I quoted the text to see if I missed anything else. This is what happened after that.

[08:16] <Chibi-Ko> Mm.
[08:16] <Chibi-Ko> OHO THERE'S OTHER STUFF THERE I COULDN'T SEE
[08:17] <Chibi-Ko> MISTER TINY WHITE TEXT
[08:18] <Kotono> Yes, and?
[08:18] <Chibi-Ko> wait a moment while I unfuck your fuckery
[08:22] <Chibi-Ko> Okay
[08:22] <Chibi-Ko> So the purple letters give me wrdos
[08:22] <Chibi-Ko> which is an anagram for words
[08:22] <Chibi-Ko> Or possible sword
[08:22] <Chibi-Ko> THE SWORD
[08:22] <Chibi-Ko> FUCK YOU
[08:23] <Kotono> Hm?
[08:23] <Chibi-Ko> I AM PAYING ATTENTION
[08:23] <Chibi-Ko> YOU NOT SO SNEEKY
[08:25] <Kotono> How scary.
[08:34] <Chibi-Ko> you clever son of a bitch, we'd have beat ourselves to death against reality and that sun

:D This whole thing made my day.

Dune: Do you have any issue with this ability being "all who can hear" along the same lines as Inspire Courage? I was talking to Merc about it and I think that's how it was originally intended to work, but I'd been running it as a single-target thing. Since it takes 2 uses of bardic music I think it's balanced by being group, but if you wanted it to be a 1, 2, 3-person thing scaling up that'd be okay too.


Destined Strike: At 3rd level, a fatesinger with 15 or more ranks of Perform can guide the strikes of his allies (including himself) to fell his foes, improving their attacks and the potential damage they might deal. The ally must be able to hear the fatesinger to gain the benefit of this ability, and the effect lasts for as long as the ally hears the fatesinger perform and for 5 rounds therafter. This ability consumes two uses of bardic music.

An affected ally gains a +3 bonus on all attack and damage rolls.

At 6th level, affected allies gains the benefit of the Improved Critical feat (threat range doubles).

At 9th level, affected allies add your Charisma modifier (minimum +1 bonus) as a bonus to their threat confirmation rolls.

Hey PCs, here's a to do list for today.

1. Get in any questions or issues in the To Water thread. I'm closing it tonight or in the morning and then starting solo threads. Now's the chance.
2. Make sure your agendas for this are up to date and numbered, like I asked. If recent or current events add anything more, add them ASAP.
3. Resolve loot. If there's any left over from the previous adventures, check and do so now. It I recall, wasn't void strike's treasure temporarily lost because one of the NPCs was carrying the bag of holding? If that's true and it hasn't been appraised and doled out, check and quote it so I can do so.
4. Once 3 is done, I'll update the Aurora topic and shops with new content. Don't expect book write ups until I have all the threads going, so bear that in mind.

[Anastasia]

Today's agenda is DM upkeep and then any posting I can get in before B5. After B5 is posting with a break for NPC shopping at some point. I'm off today so no work.

So bear that in mind, posting will be minimal until after B5.

[Anastasia]

Shops are updated. Go for it.
