[Vorthon]

What's wrong with your firewalls? Mine are unchanged and I connected just fine. If I were the host it'd be a different story, but I'm not.

Ehh derp. I just downloaded it, and I'm gonna try it in a bit.

I feel stupid...

[Kogan Loloklam]

Did I miss a session?

[The Fool]

Nope. Finals are kicking in for university students. I have no idea if we have one this week either.

[Heron TSG]

I likely won't be at this week's session, I'll be on tour. I might be able to use the hotel's internet to do so, and if so I'll keep you folks posted.

[Shoruke]

There will be a session this week, although I may be somewhat stressed due to the aftermath of my math final. Fuck integration. I'd pay $1000 CAD to turn borg for those 3 hours so that integration would come naturally to me. It wouldn't be so bad if they would let me use a formula sheet for trig derivations at least, but nooo...

[The Fool]

It's not that bad to do trig integration. Just memorize everything and you'll be fine. Then again I'll need to do that on a regular basis when I'm out of university in at least 7 years, so don't take my word for it. And yes that is a long time. Hopefully math is a bit more kind as you go along.

On a different note I can't make it to the Saturday session because I'll be at least 3-4 hours late. I hope everyone can live with no damage mitigation for the week.

[Araph]

. . .

Ok, I feel like a retard for dropping out and now coming back, but could I re-join the group? Now that I've played a bit more and read a lot more, I think I'd be able to come regularly and not play stupidly.

[Kogan Loloklam]

My shopping list:

Spoiler: Selling (click to show/hide)

20 Vials of Drow Poison

Spoiler: Purchase (click to show/hide)

I want to buy a chest and a 40 GP lock (2 GP + 40 GP= 42 GP)

Spoiler: Possibly party purchase (click to show/hide)

I want to hire some NPC guards and crew for the ship:
3 General Crewmen/Laborers  (1 sp a day I believe. 1 Month in advance for 9 GP)
3 Guards (2 sp a day I believe. 1 Month in advance for 18 GP)
1 Siege equipment operator (3 sp a day I believe. 1 Month in advance for 9 GP)
1 Officer (6 sp a day I believe. 1 Month in advance for 18 GP)
That should be 54 GP in total for the hirelings Per Month.

I want to buy 2 Short Swords for the Guards (plus the extra one I have for a short sword for each) (2*10=20 GP)
I also want to buy 3 Suits of Leather Armor for the guards. (3*10=30 GP)
I want to buy a Studded Leather Armor (25 GP) and a Scimitar (15 GP) for the Officer.
I also want to buy 3 short bows (90 GP) plus 240 arrows (12 GP) for a ship's armory.
That is 192 GP for Hireling Equipment

I want to build an "Armory Chest" into Bote. I wish to modify Bote so that the chest takes up some of the empty space in the sterncastle on the top deck of Bote. The access to it would be from the sterncastle, and not from the lower portion (Unknown Price)

I want to attempt to get the Ship Modifications, and the hiring and equipping of the NPCs reimbursed with Party funds, but regardless I want to hire them and Modify the ship.

For the party, My arguments in favor of using the party funds:
While we have a very diverse group with us, none of us are adequately trained in the operation of Bote. As such, it is important we have a trained crew to operate the ship. It would also be beneficial to us if they were able to help us with other tasks. An example of this would be the Laboratory inside the ruined wizard's tower. Corina said she would find that equipment very useful. With the group I have hired, we could have gathered the equipment up, or even setup a temporary base there without fear of it being looted by a wandering band of monsters. While I hired them, I hired them for the benefit for the entire group, and I request permission to be reimbursed for the expense.

I also want to price out getting the full plate mail resized to fit me, and if I can afford it after all the modfications and purchases I'd like to do it as well. If it does happen, I want to consult with Corina to see if the magical enchantment of it can also be resumed. If the platemail can be resized and I can afford it and have it ready before the boat departs again, I will instead give the Officer the Chain Shirt I am wearing instead of buying him studded leather.

FURTHERMORE, Taken out of the party funds (and not done if it is not granted)
An additional Armory Modification done to Bote to hold Siege Engine Ammunition accessible by the main deck
The purchase of 50 Ballista Bolts to be contained in the siege ammunition armory.
Simple Wagon parts so that a crude small wagon (or a makeshift siege engine transportation system) to be stowed below deck in the empty space below the Sterncastle.
Rope, netting, and nails as needed to make a proper stow for the wagon parts below deck.


Also, Araph, I believe you were never dropped, since I never saw any statement like that. You just seemed to have missed a ton of sessions. Am I missing something?

[Araph]

That's why I feel like a moron; I didn't say anything like 'Hey, I'm not gonna be able to make it to the sessions for a while' or anything. I just left.

[Kogan Loloklam]

I think Shoruke has said several times the equivalent that it doesn't matter. Probably wouldn't have even commented if you just appeared at the next one

[Araph]

Yeah, but a big part of my stupid feeling is that I want to play a different character.

In all the games I've played, it's always been more fun to play someone with a distinct personality. The characters that I've made in this game were just sorta of blah-ed out. I'd prefer to play as someone who's thoughts and plans have effort invested in them, instead of playing a metaphorically faceless wizard or rogue. Now whenever I try to make a character, I look up classes and feats and start planning out how I'm going to play the character, as opposed to throwing him together as a spur-of-the-moment whim. I've found that makes it way more fun, and I'd like to do that in this game, too.

[Kogan Loloklam]

A character has character based on how you play it, not how you made it. I've seen awesome backstories thrown away because the character is played blandly. The Fool thought his character had no depth too if I recall, but then he took a look at it and realized the richness that is there.

Arrus didn't seem totally bland from what I saw, but you should want to play your character, so meh.

Backstory:
Uskton Slek was, like so many other dwarfes, born in the city of Grelòtis Rinde.
He was born to a poor family, that often had to beg for food and other things richer dwarfes could easily afford.
They didn't have the money to have their children teached, which led to them all being Illiterat and uneducated.
Usktons Live was miserable with the way his life went, never being able to eat his full, always having to do without the things he wanted.
So one day, he decided to find fortune in other places.
He took the Axe of his father and ran away from his home.
From that day on, Uskton travelled.  He travelled from city to city, always in search for something to do.
Sometimes, someone needed a strong arm for some hard labor or as a mercenarie and hired him. Sometimes, there was no work, and Uskton had to hunger.
His live went like that for three years now.

Wow... How does Vaba Jidoiit have 23 dexterity at level 2? Is it a racial thing?

[Kogan Loloklam]

Hey guys, seeing as my original saturday group got cancelled, I wondered if I could join here?

Yea you can join. Refer to the OP. You should be starting your character at level 2. Also you get Heroic Durability feat for free which would have changed your HPs there. (5 is just wrong )

Also, your ability points look wrong to me. It is done with the 32 point buy system. Maybe I am missing an adjustment there somewhere? +2 con -2 cha, means 16 (10), 16(10), 14(6), 8(0), 10(2), 14(6). 34?
