Last alert PM dispensed. Barring their reappearance in the next 24 hours, or RAM answering the ping PM as a higher-position waitlister, Jay Kayell (as himself) and Frelock (as Frederick Barbarossa, a name that doesn't fit him in the slightest considering he's blonde and beardless) will be silently and painlessly (maybe) retcontinuity-ed to always have been being Akhier (as Zarkov Dragonheart) and DreamThorn (as Jac Loscure). Exactly who replaces whom is a good question, since you will retain all skills and added equipment (and wounds). Zarkov seems like a... poor match for Frederick personality-wise, but then Jac is almost worse, and doesn't seem to have the same physique. Plus, Jac already has a name that starts with J, and already has a dagger that he otherwise would not have. So, my proposition is to have Jac replacing JK, and Zarkov replacing Frederick.

If you're alright with this setup, then please post your actions in the game thread. I will start making the turn with the assumption that JK and Frelock don't reappear, but will make provisions to re-retcon them in, should they manage to reclaim their spots in time.

edit: I will roll for the equipment here.

Zarkon has... oh dear. [2][2]. In his locker, Zarkon discovers a papier mache replica of a top hat (and a plastic monocle), plain grey shorts, and bunny slippers. Yep. >_<

Jac has [3][5]. In his locker, Jac discovers hooded black velvet coveralls, black leather boots, black leather belt with black leather pouch, a full body black leather gimp suit... and a squeaky mallet. A small, black, and leathery squeaky mallet.

So, a fail and a minor overshot. Heh. ^_^' Hope you find a clothing shop you can pilfer purchase some decent clothing from soon, Akhier.

[Zako]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHA! A gimp suit of all things! That's what you get for asking for so much leather clothing I suppose... Also, loving the bunny slippers.

And maybe it's best if they don't have the same skills and just start out as blank slates instead? It's still early in the game so I don't think that it will have much of an effect.

[Dermonster]

Zako has a point.

PTW and Waitlist request. I'm glad to see you're continuing this.

   Do we get the stuff that the people we are replacing managed to find (IE would I get the 2 pokeballs Fredrick had) and the powers? Your post seems to say we do but I figured I would ask for clarification as you seem uncertain on exactly what your plan is for us getting slipped in. Also bunny slippers rock though I am sad about the top hat failure. Would have been awesome to rock out with a top hat and some bunny slippers on.

That's exactly why I'm letting them keep it all, actually. If it was any further into the game I'd have probably been tempted to re-start the world or do something sillier. As is, one of them gets a knife and some misc gear, and the other gets some misc gear and an ability he's almost never going to use (and a couple of scratches across his torso). I suppose I can make this either way, depending on how each of them wants it, but you'll be losing the only actual combat weapon you have, as well as five pokeballs out of the not-so-many you currently have, if you discard things.

...

Okay, I will let Zarkov keep his balls (oh god this world is going to be horrible), and he'll keep the scratches (continuity!), but he can choose to keep or lose the command voice, since his CHA is pretty low and it won't be too useful.
Jac will likely want to keep the knife anyway (plus it was just used to stab the Zangoose, so it's kinda important), and there's no reason to lose the balls either, so really, why do otherwise?

All in all, all acquired gear remains the same, and Akhier should say whether or not he wants the Command Voice ability to remain.

You still have the hat, it's just made out of glued-together and painted newspapers, and looks the part. It's also heavier and rather flimsier than a hat should be. And, as per above, yes you keep the gear, and you decide whether or not you want the voice thing. Refer to Fre's status on what exactly it entails.

[Sean Mirrsen]

Dreamthorn seems to be going for a sudden kill on the Zangoose, which may be unfortunate - considering the thing took over a year to beat into submission for capture. Actually I was intending for the transition to be like this, except without the others noticing, but sure, play it like that. I'm sure there would be some initial confusion from this.

edit: after all, it's not like there's a whole continent full of the critters, right? ^_^

[DreamThorn]

I might still roll badly, though. 

[Sean Mirrsen]

Aaaaaand we're back in business!

I've stopped using physical dice, btw. Mostly because the little plastic box I used to carry them around in kept falling out of the laptop case and shattering until duct tape couldn't hold it together anymore, so I have nowhere to put them now. So you're at the mercy of Random.org for the foreseeable future. ^_^

[Sean Mirrsen]

Hm, I seem to have missed an error in DreamThorn's character. He only assigned 1 negative point. Akhier also did that, but he only assigned 5 positive, essentially balancing out. I'll roll as-is, but do choose what you want the point to be deducted from.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Ah, but you see I assigned both a negative and a positive point to the same thing thus as you say, balancing it out. I didn't really see anything saying I couldn't do it. Normally I would have just sunk my CHA but I figured I might end up wanting to talk to something at some point or something of the sort.

[Dermonster]

I suspect you get a bonus to cha rolls if you talk well.

[Akhier the Dragon hearted]

   Yes, its the same old thing I always have in D&D with point buy. I could technically sink my CHA down to 6  and be happy with my extra stats elsewhere but at that point the DM will feel he has to put me in a situation where I need to talk just to get me for metagaming that the stat isn't exactly important if you can talk well yourself. If I sunk my Cha in this instance down to 3 what happens with any check that uses that stat without having me talk and thus be able to balance score out?

[Sean Mirrsen]

I didn't say anything was wrong with yours. Quite the contrary, in fact. Using up a positive to remove a negative is perfectly valid. DreamThorn, on the other hand, distributed 6 positive and only 1 negative.

[DreamThorn]

I see what you mean.  Reduce my Toughness by one point, if you please.
