General Discussion

Reminder of game today. Should still be running, even without Drac. Zeph has stated having to leave a bit early (only on for 3 hours or so instead of 4) due to exams next week.

Alright, next session in 2 weeks, March 21st. As mentioned, starting to introduce more magic and creatures and such, as it helps me adjust some of the things I can do and it seem to be working out.

Most of these items aren't gonna be of any good to you as they're generally cursed and what have you (as per the iron heroes book on magic items), a few might however. Anassia is probably going to be a fair to good resource to chat about what's safe and what not, even if she won't know everything.

And hey, you guys have a T-rex under your kill list now. Grats.

Also, apologies for the dino-bite-and-run from the bad guy, but yeah, he's a magic dude, and he learned running wasn't a good idea from Aleph. He came prepared just in case this time. Sooner or later, you guys will catch up with him, and we'll see if he manages to make another hasty retreat or not. Maybe third time's the charm!

Speaking of the oversized slab of meat, I was curious: What is its size rating?  If it's Huge, I actually won't be able to magic it up 'til I get another mastery rank in necromancy.  Stupid arbitrary limits!

'Course, I get 4th level Mastery next level, so it might not be all that impossible, but it is the principle of the thing.

It's a shame that we don't have his name, though; he has the airs of a prominent reoccurring villain but we can't actually hunt him down!  Le sigh.

[Merc]

It is huge, actually. I used the T-Rex exactly as is from the monster manual if you want to look at its stats and see if any of that affects chances of doing stuff. About the only thing I did was wiki up to see how high those got to give a frame of reference for targetting the rider.

[Navilee]

Then yep.  Will have to wait for 5th level to come around before doing anything.  I suppose we could mark the location and return when we hit fifth if we're ever in the area, though.

Then I will have to decide between a skeleton and zombie.  Leaning towards skeleton so as to not have the 'one action only' issue.  It's sad that you can defeat a zombie just by taking a move then standard attack.  Barring charges, natch.

EDIT:

I should really read the stat block before opening my mouth.

In order to undead-ify an 18HD monster (like a T-rex), I require Mastery Level 9 in Necromancy.  I get 9th at level 16.  So, while it is likely, will more than likely be rather far in the future.

Sadly, our epic dinosaur mount will have to wait.

[Dracos]

Sadness.

Anyhow, magic in the setting is fine and cool, just as long as its consistent.  If we have a good reason to fear using random magic item or spell, so should our foes.  Sure, having a sixth finger or something might be a totally acceptable side effect to avoid head chopping, but just sayin' I hope they aren't getting D&D magic while we're using IH magic.

[Dracos]

4 days until epic jungle adventures?

[Merc]

Apologies for off-session today. Ataru's stated he's not gonna be able to make a saturday session, so don't really want to offer something exciting then. If people want to log on for an RP session, feel free. I'll help with setting if you want. Otherwise, next main session will be in two weeks and hopefully I can make up for crap this week.

In the meantime, I do ask that people post stating what they want to do now that you're in the reach of next town along road. Are you going to camp come nighttime, go into town or what?

[Sierra]

My vote would be go into town, really. Likely to be more interesting, and aren't most of the people we messed with dead by this point anyway?

[Dracos]

Sorry I was kinda a jerk tonight.

Town.  The slaver bit has gone on too long anyhow without a meaningful ranting "I'll get you by the cruft of your collar" villain.  The bad guy we have tango'ed with was silent and largely is welcome to ambush us at some point if he's genuinely obsessed with losing his life for no real gain.  I don't really believe we're in any danger from that at the moment.  At least not compared to disturbing the local man eating wildlife.

[Dracos]

Mmm, game this sunday?

[Dracos]

We're gaming this week ya?

[Merc]

If we have enough players, sure!

[Dracos]

Well, we can call MayaTeam.

Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya, and Maya.

[Merc]

I actually forgot today is Mother's Day. I -should- be here, but one never knows when parents feel like going out, or want me to come down and do stuff, so yeah. And that's just me, dunno about other people and their moms.

I'll still try to be here tonight, but just putting it out there.
