00:02:09 <Mekkis> heh
00:02:25 <Mekkis> great thing about the zooming is that it doesn't require the server to be using it...
00:06:10 <Avatar> same with everything under preferences, apparently
00:07:02 <Ballig> was that not obvious before
00:07:12 <Mekkis> wow
00:07:46 <Avatar> no
00:07:58 <Avatar> my text file mentions a great way to clean that up
00:08:05 <Avatar> so that it is obvious
00:08:12 <Mekkis> the "use the volume controls to zoom in/out" feature was verified by a guy I know
00:08:12 <Ballig> I think it was pretty obvious
00:09:06 <Avatar> I need to learn more words with Q and Z in them
00:09:17 <Mekkis> Quartz
00:09:25 <Ballig> quiz
00:09:27 <Avatar> no like
00:09:35 <Avatar> separate words, but that don't start with Q or Z
00:09:36 <Ballig> quasi (sounds like a z but it isn't!)
00:09:43 <Ballig> what
00:09:49 <Ballig> so it has a q in it but can't start with q?
00:09:49 <Avatar> like pizazz
00:09:52 <Ballig> like cumquat?
00:09:54 <Avatar> yeah
00:09:56 <Mekkis> aqua
00:10:00 <Mekkis> faqir
00:10:01 <Ballig> and colloquial?
00:10:09 <Avatar> smaller words preferably
00:10:13 <Avatar> ones that i could use in words with friends
00:10:15 <Mekkis> qi
00:10:19 <Ballig> que
00:10:22 <Ballig> can you use spanish words
00:10:26 <Ballig> queue
00:10:26 <Avatar> it doesn't even recognise quo
00:10:29 <Avatar> as in status quo
00:10:33 <Avatar> those all start with q
00:10:44 <Ballig> plaque
00:11:06 <Mekkis> Zax
00:11:12 <Mekkis> daze
00:11:13 <Ballig> jazz
00:11:17 <Ballig> razzle
00:11:18 <Ballig> dazzle
00:11:24 <Avatar> there's only ever one z
00:11:27 <Ballig> why
00:11:32 <Ballig> there are lots of ZZ words
00:11:35 <Mekkis> scrabble, I'm guessing
00:11:35 <Avatar> the bag of letters only has one z
00:11:38 <Ballig> maze
00:11:43 <Avatar> words with friends is scrabble
00:11:46 <Ballig> blaze
00:11:49 <Ballig> glaze
00:11:51 <Ballig> faze
00:11:56 <Mekkis> haze
00:11:58 <Mekkis> hazy
00:12:01 <Ballig> gaze
00:12:05 <Ballig> lazy
00:12:25 <Mekkis> enqueue
00:12:27 <Ballig> raze
00:12:34 <Ballig> razor
00:12:38 <Mekkis> requeue
00:12:47 <Ballig> requiem
00:12:48 <Mekkis> inquest
00:13:05 <Mekkis> request
00:13:11 <Ballig> bequest
00:13:26 <Mekkis> Qaid
00:14:16 <Mekkis> looks like I need to upgrade to 4.8 too
00:14:22 <Ballig> why
00:14:25 <Mekkis> https://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTBUG-4415?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel#issue-tabs
00:14:50 <Ballig> ha
00:14:53 <Ballig> to use the volume keys?
00:14:55 <Mekkis> yeah
00:14:58 <Mekkis> to zoom in and out
00:15:01 <Mekkis> on my phone
00:28:40 <Avatar> mekkis what's the best way to get you to show up to a 10am game on time
00:28:50 <Avatar> I can't tell if sms works or not
00:28:53 <Mekkis> make it 10am my time
00:29:06 <Ballig> what's the best way to get you to show up to a 9am game
00:29:18 <Mekkis> make it 10am
00:29:33 <Ballig> then you're showing up to a 10am game, not a 9am game
00:29:36 <Avatar> ok next game is at 9am
00:29:46 <Avatar> just ignore the topic, 9am ok
00:30:13 <Avatar> or wait
00:30:21 <Avatar> no we'll change it to 9am, but you can show up at 10am
00:30:48 <Avatar> I actually tried to call you today and it went straight to voicemail
00:30:56 <Avatar> that was the 1 hour break that took 2 hours
00:31:10 <Mekkis> my place is a faraday cage
00:31:18 <Ballig> I thought it was just your room
00:31:24 <Mekkis> I get no reception from Optus
00:31:34 <Mekkis> (Telstra is fine.)
00:31:38 <Avatar> what is it, a basement
00:31:41 <Mekkis> this is why I prefer Optus
00:31:42 <Mekkis> no
00:31:46 <Mekkis> a valley
00:31:49 <Avatar> what suburb are you in again
00:32:02 <Mekkis> Bardon
00:32:04 <Ballig> fortitude valley?
00:32:20 <Avatar> I used to live in paddington
00:32:24 <Ballig> I added some UI to the cones
00:32:34 <Ballig> it still uses the triangle directions and blast radius, but you can set them from right clicking the cone button
00:32:48 <Mekkis> it's just this house: two places up, it works
00:32:48 <Ballig> (I see no reason to add more variables for that)
00:32:53 <Mekkis> two places down, it works
00:32:59 <Mekkis> across the road, it works
00:32:59 <Ballig> yeah I lived in Dutton park
00:33:01 <Avatar> weird
00:33:01 <Ballig> not far from paddington
00:33:22 <Ballig> are we actually playing at 10am tomorrow
00:33:27 <Ballig> tristen said he wouldn't be here until 2
00:33:34 <Avatar> dutton park is southside man
00:33:40 <Ballig> weren't you south side
00:33:48 <Avatar> no, paddington and bardon are northside
00:33:49 <Ballig> for some reason I could have sworn you were in a suburb like two south of me
00:33:51 <Avatar> annerley is southside
00:33:53 <Mekkis> Paddington/Bardon are westside
00:34:02 <Avatar> I was in paddington before I was in annerley
00:34:05 <Ballig> oh
00:34:09 <Mekkis> well.. Bardon's westside
00:34:10 <Mekkis> just
00:34:11 <Ballig> annerley is the one I knew you lived in then
00:34:22 <Avatar> with the sizzler up the road
00:34:29 <Avatar> man I miss sizzler
00:34:39 <Avatar> I went to the place that took over sizzler in melbourne
00:34:44 <Avatar> that is the worst food I have ever tasted
00:34:52 <Avatar> in a buffet at least
00:35:08 <Avatar> it was like half cooked food over the whole buffet
00:35:21 <Avatar> we were worried the entire time that we would be sick the next day from food poisoning
00:35:29 <Avatar> as we were eating it
00:35:42 <Avatar> we only stayed because it cost us like $32 each to get into the place
00:35:53 <Ballig> yha
00:35:55 <Ballig> er, ha
00:35:56 <Ballig> that's expensive
00:36:12 <Ballig> $32 should be able to get you a nice meal and dessert at a regular restaurant
00:36:19 <Ballig> like a meal that was cooked just for you
00:37:06 <Ballig> so are we playing at 10 or 2
00:37:50 <Avatar> well
00:37:54 <Avatar> CotE is meant to be on at 10
00:38:01 <Avatar> if canine shows, we should play that
00:38:14 <Ballig> okay
00:38:15 <Avatar> is it canine we're waiting on
00:38:19 <Ballig> if he doesn't I might go christmas shopping though
00:38:23 <Ballig> yeah, canine mekkis and you
00:38:35 <Avatar> well be back by 2 I guess
00:38:40 <Ballig> yeah
00:38:51 <Ballig> anyway, bed
00:38:52 <Ballig> tata
00:38:54 <Avatar> gg
00:39:03 <Avatar> Mekkis: how come you can make 8am cons but not 10am games
01:00:57 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
06:38:03 S711 has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
07:41:53 <Ballig> zzz
08:12:11 <Avatar> zzzz
08:12:46 <Ballig> just remember that if we're not playing I will probably leave at 10.50
08:13:54 <Avatar> w/e
08:14:07 <Ballig> sorry, I should be more like spaceshot
08:14:12 <Ballig> if we're not playing by 10.01 I will leave !
08:14:16 <Avatar> haha
08:50:28 <Avatar> um
08:50:31 <Avatar> I don't know how I didn't notice this
08:50:36 <Avatar> what is fogshroud miasma
08:50:47 <Ballig> what do you mean what is it
08:50:54 <Avatar> it's on my chronicle sheet as a condition gained
08:51:09 <Ballig> is that the veil that is a single-use disguise self
08:51:22 <Avatar> looks like poison
08:51:30 <Ballig> which chronicle sheet
08:51:36 <Ballig> the one you just got?
08:51:39 <Avatar> yesterday's
08:51:40 <Avatar> yeah
08:51:47 <Ballig> you must have been diseased in the swamp
08:51:51 <Ballig> that does sound like a disease
08:52:09 <Avatar> how could I get diseased and not know about it
08:52:23 <Avatar> the cure is 2 consecutive saves
08:52:25 <Avatar> when do I get to make those
08:52:33 <Ballig> is it a disease or a poison
08:52:40 <Avatar> 1/day
08:52:43 <Avatar> it's a disease
08:53:03 <Avatar> how does that work in PFS
08:53:17 <Avatar> I can just not adventure for a few days
08:53:19 <Ballig> you wouldn't know about it because a disease generally takes at least a day to hit you
08:53:37 <Ballig> what effect does it have on you
08:53:50 <Avatar> 1 wis damage
08:54:04 <Ballig> oh that sucks a bit
08:55:20 <Ballig> you need a third level cleric to restore that
08:55:50 <Avatar> what's the 'frequency'
08:55:58 <Avatar> is it cumulative damage
08:56:05 <Ballig> think so
08:56:09 <Avatar> fuck
08:56:16 <Avatar> "cure 2 consecutive saves"
08:56:29 <Avatar> do i get to roll for that once and never again or?
08:56:46 <Ballig> you have to save twice
09:00:36 <Mekkis> moin
09:01:01 <Mekkis> zzzzzz
09:01:08 <Ballig> zzzz
09:01:35 <Avatar> Mekkis: how do I fix this dumb disease
09:01:39 <Avatar> and when do I get my wis back
09:01:49 <Mekkis> you haven't taken any damage... yet
09:01:58 <Mekkis> you succeed two consecutive fort saves
09:01:59 <Avatar> yeah but the scenario is over
09:02:01 <Ballig> you can get some long-term care
09:02:04 <Avatar> what if I take like 3 days until my next adventure
09:02:09 <Mekkis> next scenario
09:02:19 <Avatar> can I roll in between scenarios
09:02:20 <Mekkis> the clock starts ticking from the start of next scenario
09:02:28 <Ballig> he can't get any long-term care until a new scenario?
09:02:37 <Mekkis> nope
09:02:40 <Ballig> that seems odd, isn't there meant to be time between scenarios
09:02:44 <Avatar> I remember you telling me your age can advance between scenarios
09:03:44 tristen ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
09:03:46 <Mekkis> I think the rule is there so people can't handwave away diseases
09:04:06 <Mekkis> you can pay a cleric 150gp or whatever it is
09:04:46 <Ballig> sup tristen
09:05:02 <Avatar> how long does the wis damage last if it hits me
09:05:26 <tristen> heya
09:05:33 <Mekkis> a day
09:06:07 <Avatar> I think I'm going to have to spend the first week of the next scenario in bed
09:06:34 <Ballig> make sure you do a scenario that has no time limit on it
09:06:43 <Avatar> yeah
09:06:56 * Mekkis searches for scenarios with time limits
09:07:06 <Avatar> good 1
09:08:01 <Avatar> is there any reason to carry a torch once you have a wayfinder
09:08:52 <Mekkis> yes
09:09:06 <Mekkis> dead magic zones and antimagic fields
09:11:53 <Avatar> what are the odds of rolling two 13s in a row
09:12:18 <Mekkis> 1/400
09:12:36 <Avatar> 13s or higher
09:13:07 <Mekkis> 0.45^2
09:13:11 <Avatar> maybe 9s or higher
09:13:18 <Avatar> treat disease wouldn't be tough for someone with heal
09:13:37 <Mekkis> 0.55^2
09:13:49 <Mekkis> sorry
09:13:52 <Mekkis> 0.6^2
09:15:17 <Avatar> can you get more than 1 competence bonus on the heal check
09:15:28 <Avatar> I guess that wouldn't stack
09:16:27 <Mekkis> competence? nope
09:17:06 <Avatar> wonder if it's worth just burning the 150gp
09:17:28 <Mekkis> be a man
09:17:51 <Avatar> you reckon
09:18:01 <Mekkis> keep the disease until you either cure it naturally, or level to the point of travelling with a cleric of high enough level
09:18:15 <Avatar> pretty sure I can't keep it that long
09:18:23 <Avatar> you fall unconscious when you hit 0 wis don't you
09:18:59 <Avatar> yeah
09:19:28 <Ballig> does the 1 wis damage stack
09:19:29 <Mekkis> are we having a game
09:19:32 <Ballig> like can he lose all his wisdom from it
09:19:37 <Mekkis> or did I get up early for nothing?
09:19:55 <Avatar> there's always a risk players won't show
09:20:04 <Avatar> we didn't have confirmations today
09:20:14 <Avatar> oh here we go, canine just replied
09:20:24 <Avatar> he's unavailable until jan 3
09:20:31 <Avatar> 'on leave'
09:20:33 <Avatar> was he playing at work?
09:20:34 <tristen> thelen can't game today
09:20:41 <tristen> i can though
09:20:52 <Avatar> now?
09:21:03 <tristen> yep sure thing
09:21:11 <Avatar> okay, that's 3 of us then
09:21:19 <Ballig> hmm
09:21:22 <Avatar> who's DMing
09:21:23 <Ballig> when am I going to get my shopping done
09:21:31 <Avatar> some other time I guess
09:21:42 <tristen> during the week - it's less mad then
09:21:42 <Ballig> I'm not certain there is any other time
09:21:54 <Avatar> haha, yeah during the week
09:22:01 <Ballig> don't have time during the week
09:22:22 <Avatar> when do shops close in canberra
09:22:36 <Ballig> late night shopping is friday
09:22:43 <Ballig> I need this gift before thursday
09:22:44 <tristen> bingo!
09:22:49 <tristen> fail!
09:22:54 <Avatar> so when do shops close in canberra
09:23:06 <Ballig> this shop wouldn't be open past 5
09:23:17 <Avatar> ok that gives us 5 good hours of playtime
09:23:25 <Ballig> oh you mean on a sunday?
09:23:26 <Ballig> maybe 4
09:23:33 <Ballig> if I don't get the 11am bus I have to get the 2pm one
09:23:43 <Avatar> man you're pushing it
09:23:46 <Avatar> okay that's still 3.5 hours
09:23:47 <tristen> bus? ride your pushie man
09:23:54 <Avatar> I thought you had a bike
09:24:17 <Ballig> I don't have a bicycle and I can't walk 27 kilometres
09:24:30 <Ballig> (one way0
09:24:31 <tristen> get a bike ya bum
09:24:39 <Ballig> I wouldn't be able to ride 27km each way either :p
09:24:43 <Ballig> how often do you ride 60km in a day
09:24:48 <tristen> 27ks?
09:24:59 <tristen> you could do that in an hour and a bit
09:25:05 <Ballig> maybe you could
09:25:07 <Ballig> I certainly couldn't
09:25:14 <tristen> you go to teh gym no?
09:25:22 <tristen> cancel your gym membership
09:25:25 <Ballig> going to the gym doesn't mean I can ride 30km in an hour
09:25:27 <tristen> buy a bike with the money
09:25:37 <tristen> and never have to pay for exercise ever again
09:25:39 <Ballig> tristen has convinced me! that I can't play this morning
09:25:40 <Ballig> :p
09:25:48 <Avatar> Mekkis; pick a scenario without a time limit
09:25:54 <Ballig> I do weights at the gym, not cardio
09:25:56 <Mekkis> and...?
09:26:05 <Avatar> actually I wouldn't mind playing Buck
09:26:26 <Avatar> oh tristen's still level 1
09:26:38 <Mekkis> you want me to DM again?
09:26:38 <Mekkis> :S
09:26:48 <Avatar> don't you want to
09:26:59 <Mekkis> no
09:27:02 <Avatar> Ballig: do you have anything prepared
09:27:04 <Mekkis> I haven't prepared anything
09:27:07 <Ballig> I can't play this morning man
09:27:09 <Ballig> I have to go shopping
09:27:18 <Avatar> good 1
09:27:18 <Mekkis> then why did you make me get up?
09:27:24 <Ballig> I didn't, Avatar did
09:27:36 <Avatar> I didn't know you were going to be going shopping
09:27:39 <Ballig> hassle Eidren
09:27:40 <Ballig> he's on skype
09:27:45 <Avatar> and you said you'd be leaving if nobody showed !
09:27:56 <Mekkis> I can do a beginner box...
09:27:56 <Ballig> yeah but that was before I checked the bus timetable
09:27:59 <Ballig> it's different on a sunday
09:28:06 <Avatar> I'm not playing beginner box ever again
09:28:06 <Ballig> I was meant to go yesterday but I decided not to so we could finish the scenario
09:28:20 <Avatar> well go do your shopping I guess
09:28:33 <Avatar> I don't think we'll be able to chase anyone
09:28:53 <Ballig> what happened to mort being able to play on sundays
09:28:57 <Ballig> try emailing her, she seems to respond okay
09:29:00 <Mekkis> Avatar, you're one scenario off getting the chronicle sheet
09:29:11 <Ballig> didn't that expire on the 16th
09:29:58 <Avatar> I guess I could play the ninja pregen dood again
09:30:12 <Mekkis> hmmm
09:30:26 <Mekkis> yeah it did
09:30:45 <Avatar> does that mean there's no reward for beginner box anymore
09:31:06 <Ballig> yeah
09:31:17 <Avatar> so why would anyone ever play it
09:31:25 <Avatar> you're better off buying a normal scenario
09:31:35 <Avatar> it's not like it's EASIER
09:31:43 <Ballig> just seems strange that paizo would create beginner scenarios that could turn people off because of their difficulty
09:33:01 <Avatar> it's worse that they appear to be easier but are actually killer scenarios
09:40:20 <Avatar> wonder if it's worth putting a rank in craft to set myself up to get up to 50gp per scenario
09:40:44 <Ballig> it's hard to get 50
09:40:52 <Avatar> it's a 19-20
09:41:00 <Avatar> the next step down is 20gp
09:41:07 <Ballig> what
09:41:09 <Ballig> for a day job?
09:41:11 <Avatar> yeah
09:41:21 <Ballig> what do you mean by 19-20
09:41:21 <Avatar> DC 20 is 20gp
09:41:26 <Ballig> right
09:41:29 <Avatar> rolling a 19-20 on the dice
09:41:31 <Ballig> ah
09:41:34 <Ballig> so you have a 10% chance
09:41:37 <Avatar> with a +5 int and +1 on the craft check
09:41:52 <Avatar> I didn't realise what a boost I got with int
09:41:53 <Ballig> you forgot the class benefit
09:42:02 <Avatar> oh yeah
09:42:05 <Ballig> it'll be +9 total
09:42:05 <Avatar> so the odds are higher
09:42:08 <Ballig> right
09:42:16 <Avatar> shit maybe I should put 2 ranks in it
09:42:16 <Ballig> Samsuhn has +9 craft alchemy
09:42:20 <Avatar> up to 75gp
09:42:30 <Ballig> so he has to roll a 16 or higher for 50gp
09:42:38 <Ballig> 25% chance
09:42:42 <Avatar> that's not bad
09:42:51 <Avatar> that's a couple of scrolls if you get it
09:42:55 <Ballig> yeah
09:42:58 <Avatar> or one scroll if you're a bit lower
09:43:05 <Ballig> well
09:43:10 <Ballig> the roll I did yesterday netted me 5gp
09:43:10 <Ballig> :p
09:43:26 <Ballig> but that paid for my contribution to the travel shrine!
09:43:27 <Avatar> yeah but you're paying the skill rank for the chance
09:43:33 <Avatar> haha yeah
09:43:51 <Avatar> I don't really need knowledge history
09:44:33 <Avatar> might buy a masterwork tool to enhance craft checks
09:44:43 <Ballig> ha
09:44:48 <Avatar> it'd pay for itself
09:44:49 <Ballig> you need a different one for each check I think
09:45:03 <Avatar> don't think so?
09:45:05 <Avatar> why do you think that
09:45:11 <Ballig> because that's what the example is isn't it
09:45:15 <Ballig> what do you think you have, some magic book?
09:45:20 <Ballig> that knows everything about everything?
09:45:33 <Avatar> the masterwork tool description doesn't suggest that
09:45:57 <Ballig> what item will you get that will give you knowledge on every subject?
09:46:10 <Ballig> that seems to me like getting a single object that does all skills
09:46:13 <Avatar> it's based on your roll
09:46:18 <Avatar> it's not like it gives you an automatic 02
09:46:19 <Avatar> 20
09:46:21 <Ballig> what
09:46:35 <Ballig> I'm asking what your idea is for a masterwork item that wil give you all knowledge skills a boost
09:46:52 <Mekkis> I'm still unsure about the masterwork tool stuff
09:47:07 <Avatar> I've used a catalogue and a tome
09:47:13 <Ballig> right
09:47:17 <Avatar> one of the devs talked about it on the paizo forums
09:47:20 <Ballig> but how would a single tome give you an increase to every kn owledge skill at once
09:47:46 <Avatar> it's not for all knowledge
09:47:50 <Avatar> the tome is for arcana
09:48:15 <Ballig> that's what I said
09:48:21 <Ballig> and you're all like no I don't think so, why do you think that
09:48:42 <Ballig> anyway, going to the city
09:49:08 <Avatar> I didn't think you meant all knowledge types
09:59:18 <Avatar> artisian's tools are only 5gp
09:59:21 <Avatar> for +2 to craft
10:22:01 <Avatar> erg, scratch that
10:22:10 <Avatar> you need artisan's tools to do any crafting at all, otherwise you take a -2 penalty
10:22:18 <Avatar> you need masterwork artisan's tools to get the +2 bonus
10:22:21 <Avatar> which is 55gp
10:41:07 <Avatar> man my fame doesn't allow me to buy muleback cords and I've got a medium load
10:42:15 <Avatar> might sell my weapons
10:44:27 <Mekkis> buy a horse
10:44:40 <Mekkis> or pony
10:44:42 <Mekkis> or donkey
10:45:10 <Avatar> how much trouble would a horse have going through that swamp
10:45:25 <Mekkis> hardly any
10:45:40 <Mekkis> it gets a bonus for having 4 legs and being large
10:45:42 <Avatar> why buy a horse when I can just sell my weapons that I don't use
10:45:57 <Mekkis> what's your bonded item?
10:46:01 <Avatar> wand
10:46:17 <Avatar> which I still haven't figured out how to use properly
10:53:06 <Avatar> maybe I can bring along a hirelong to carry shit
10:53:34 <Avatar> 1sp/per day
10:54:21 <Avatar> hell, maybe we should get one of those every scenario
10:54:27 <Avatar> you never know when a hireling will come in handy
10:54:34 <Mekkis> get a porter
10:54:36 <Mekkis> 6gp
10:54:38 <Mekkis> sorry
10:54:39 <Mekkis> 6pp
10:54:54 <Avatar> what's a porter
10:55:59 <Avatar> cost to hire: 1cp/day
10:56:02 <Avatar> that's even better !
10:56:15 <Avatar> where'd you get 6pp
10:57:23 <Mekkis> PFS Field Guide
10:57:26 <Mekkis> it's a vanity
10:57:36 <Mekkis> 6 prestige
10:58:02 <Avatar> mm 5 pp
10:58:12 <Avatar> that's too much
10:58:19 <Mekkis> 5?
10:58:25 <Avatar> I thought you meant platinum coins to begin with
10:58:29 <Avatar> 5 prestige is way too much
10:58:32 <Mekkis> just get the free vanity DM boon!
10:58:42 <Avatar> yeah I'll just pull that out of my back pocket, shall I
11:04:24 <Mekkis> there's a con up here in april, I think
11:07:25 <Avatar> do you reckon there's a proficiency required to use a butterfly net
11:07:31 <Avatar> the description does talk about it being used like a net
11:07:38 <Avatar> a net with a 6ft pole attached to it
11:13:29 <Avatar> god I hate the paizo site
11:22:28 <Mekkis> how so>?
11:22:33 <Mekkis> it's not as bad as facebook
11:25:01 <Avatar> I know where to post when I am posting to facebook
11:37:54 <Avatar> Mekkis: what scenarios haven't you played
11:38:08 <Avatar> do you have a list somewhere
11:38:39 <Avatar> if I'm going to buy a scenario I need to know what you've played if you want some credit
11:40:31 <Mekkis> Shades of Ice III
11:41:33 <Avatar> any others?
11:41:45 <Mekkis> I'll just get a list
11:44:08 <Mekkis> hmmm
11:44:16 <Mekkis> I have two disks in RAID one, and one died
11:44:32 <Mekkis> how do I work with the other one...?
11:44:58 <Avatar> I don't know anything about RAID
11:45:06 <Avatar> if I have to prepare a scenario before ballig comes back, I'll need that list asap
11:48:03 <Mekkis> anything in Season 3 except Sewer Dragons of Absalom

11:50:55 <Avatar> ok
11:51:09 <Mekkis> Beggar's Pearl would be nice: it's in Andoran!
11:51:19 <Avatar> how do you know
11:51:30 <Mekkis> A Pathfinder Society Scenario designed for 1st to 7th level characters (Tiers: 1–2, 3–4, and 6–7). ... When a thief arrives at the Pathfinder Lodge in Almas bearing stolen artifacts and writings pointing the way to a lost dwarven gallery, you are sent into the rugged Aspodell Mountains to find the...
11:51:48 <Mekkis> (Almas is the capital of Andoran)

11:53:00 <Mekkis> Pathfinder Society Scenario #55: The Infernal Vault (PFRPG) PDF
11:53:10 <Avatar> my highest is level 4
11:53:22 <Mekkis> pity
11:53:30 <Avatar> my highest that I want to play is level 3
11:53:31 <Mekkis> I think I've played one 5-9 scenario
11:53:52 <Mekkis> I'll consider running Sewer Dragons if there's enough players...
11:54:00 <Mekkis> otherwise maybe Perils of the Pirate Pact
11:56:21 <Avatar> shadows fall on absalom sounds good, but it's tier 7-8 minimum
11:56:44 <Avatar> heresy of man is 5-6
11:57:18 <Avatar> dalsine affair is an option
11:57:55 <Mekkis> I'd encourage something Season III
11:59:12 <Mekkis> although I'm betting that Quest For Perfection will be run at Arcanacon
12:16:59 <Avatar> tristen: are you still around
12:28:00 <tristen> yep
12:34:18 <Avatar> it might be worth levelling up your character
12:34:38 <Avatar> since you're going to get an experience point from we be goblins anyway
12:34:55 <Avatar> otherwise you'll be at a significant disadvantage playing a level 1 character in a new scenario before it ends
12:35:43 <tristen> okee
12:36:52 <tristen> decisions decisions
12:37:16 <tristen> hey bear in mind i'm out all of next weekend
12:37:23 <Avatar> yeah that's ok
12:37:33 <tristen> but if there's a game during the week just lemme know
12:37:47 <tristen> ie: the next 4 days
12:41:02 <Avatar> maybe tuesday if ballig is up to finishing it
12:41:12 <Avatar> (unlikely, but it is short)

13:08:11 <Avatar> it turns out that if a grid alignment is out and can't be fixed, disabling CA's lines can actually make it easier to look at
13:10:04 <Ballig1> jlet's play a game !
13:10:11 <Avatar> you got a scenario prepared?
13:10:19 <Ballig1> crypt of the everflame
13:10:24 <Avatar> canine's not here
13:10:27 <Avatar> jan 3
13:10:46 <Avatar> I'm preparing one, but i'm done fixing up all the maps yet
13:11:08 <Avatar> I probably would be if I didn't have to wrestle with CA's bugs !
13:11:18 <Ballig1> whine whine
13:12:09 <Avatar> how long do you guys want to play for
13:12:26 Ballig1 is now known as Ballig
13:12:30 <Ballig> 24 hours
13:12:50 <Avatar> pretty sure that was possible if you didn't have to go xmas shopping at 10am !
13:13:16 <Ballig> yeah, that's why I generally don't do the whole christmas thing
13:13:19 <Spaceshot_tm2_> fuck hallmark day
13:13:40 <Avatar> christmas is cancelled
13:13:46 <Ballig> pretty sure christmas has been celebrated for longer than hallmark has existed
13:14:15 <Spaceshot_tm2_> comercialism side of it though
13:14:48 <Avatar> that override option was killing me earlier
13:14:56 <Ballig> why
13:14:57 <Avatar> I was changing my box size and it was changing it back and I couldn't work out why
13:15:02 <Ballig> ha
13:15:36 <tristen> ballig: you shopped?
13:15:46 <Ballig> yeah
13:15:54 <tristen> sweet!
13:16:26 <tristen> was that for that picture frame thing?
13:16:43 <Ballig> yep
13:17:24 <Ballig> it's just a framed version of the real madrid logo
13:17:31 <Avatar> Ballig: have you finished levelling up
13:17:49 <Ballig> if by finished you mean started, then no
13:17:50 <Ballig> no I haven't
13:17:59 <tristen> you mean to level 2?
13:18:10 <Ballig> but I have a cleric too !
13:18:19 <Ballig> and yeah, samsuhn is level 2 now
13:18:37 <Avatar> I mean I guess you can play with a half levelled up character if you want
13:18:45 <Ballig> I haven't started to level him
13:18:48 <Ballig> why do I have to play my wizard
13:18:56 <Avatar> you don't, but your cleric is worse isn't it
13:19:02 <Avatar> up to you
13:19:07 <Ballig> worse how
13:19:12 <Avatar> half of the maps for this scenario are done
13:19:17 <Avatar> I can improvise along the way
13:19:30 <Avatar> is mekkis here
13:19:53 <tristen> actually i'm a bit embarrassed
13:19:59 <tristen> that +4 to damage
13:20:10 <tristen> i applied that during that first scenario
13:20:12 <tristen> :/
13:20:17 <tristen> but hey
13:20:21 <Avatar> what +4 to damage
13:20:21 <Ballig> "Hi Ned, where are the boys?" "Oh, they're grounded. I found out that Todd watched a TV ad for Grey's Anatomy and Rod took a full day to tell me."
13:20:33 <Ballig> on his ranged attacks
13:20:35 <tristen> oh i was applying +4 to ranged
13:20:36 <Ballig> he was adding dex to his damage
13:20:37 <tristen> yeah
13:20:40 <Avatar> oh
13:20:42 <Avatar> don't worry about it
13:20:44 <Ballig> I suggest you look at getting a composite bow
13:20:45 <Avatar> everyone makes mistakes like that
13:20:46 <Ballig> with a +2 rating
13:20:52 <tristen> yeah
13:20:57 <Avatar> you should be able to afford a better bow by now
13:21:35 <Avatar> Ballig: I said tristen should level up his character from we be goblins, you can too if you want
13:22:03 <tristen> 100gp for composite
13:22:10 <tristen> i have no idea how much loot i've got
13:22:15 <Ballig> gets more expensive than that
13:22:31 <Ballig> you have to spend 100 gold per strength score on it
13:22:34 <Avatar> it's on your chronicle sheets
13:22:38 <Ballig> so that makes a +2 composite longbow cost you 300 gold
13:22:43 <Ballig> and then you should consider making it matserwork
13:22:49 <tristen> (whistle)
13:22:53 <Avatar> don't consider it, do it
13:23:00 <Avatar> haven't you saved your chronicle sheets
13:23:06 <tristen> have i got the fundage?
13:23:11 <tristen> ummmm
13:23:17 <Avatar> oh, you're whistling at the bonuses
13:23:25 <tristen> where are they in the first place?
13:23:32 <Ballig> it means you'll be spending 600 gold on a longbow though
13:23:43 <Avatar> I would have sent you first steps 1, mekkis should have sent you first steps 3
13:23:51 <tristen> email?
13:23:56 <Avatar> details from we be goblins are in your pm
13:23:57 <Ballig> he would've linked
13:24:26 <Ballig> we got 417 from first steps 1
13:24:38 <tristen> ok
13:24:42 <Avatar> he may not have done it yet
13:24:48 <Avatar> chase him for it
13:24:59 <tristen> okee
13:25:30 <Ballig> yeah I don't think he has, he did thelen's and yours and mine
13:25:43 <Ballig> we got 370 from it I think
13:26:06 <Ballig> so looks like you will be able to afford it
13:26:20 <Ballig> I definitely recommend spending the 600 gold on a masterwork longbow composite (+3)
13:26:22 <Ballig> errr, +2
13:27:16 <tristen> ok yeah i'll update my sheet
13:27:17 <Avatar> I recommend checking your encumberance if you haven't up till now
13:27:29 <Avatar> because you may need to spend your money elsewhere
13:27:33 <Ballig> he has a 14 strength
13:27:35 <Ballig> it's not a giant issue for him
13:27:44 <Avatar> depends how much you carry
13:27:50 <Avatar> even a medium load can sting
13:27:56 <Ballig> not if you wear medium armour
13:28:12 <Avatar> even with medium armour you've got a -3 check penalty
13:28:22 <Ballig> pretty sure it doesn't stack with your armour
13:28:32 <Avatar> are you sure? why wouldn't it
13:28:40 <Ballig> same way the speed penalty doesnt' stack with armour
13:28:49 <Ballig> I think you just take the penalties from whichever one is more cumbersome - armour or load
13:28:51 <tristen> leather armour
13:28:52 <Avatar> something to look into I think
13:29:05 <tristen> don't want anything heavier
13:29:14 <Avatar> then you want a light load too
13:29:28 <Ballig> shouldn't you get a chain shirt
13:29:30 <Ballig> or studded leather
13:29:55 <tristen> i thought about a chain shirt
13:29:56 <Avatar> have you checked your encumberance ballig :P
13:29:59 <Avatar> mr 7 str
13:30:09 <Ballig> not on my wizard
13:30:11 <Avatar> can't buy muleback cords I found out
13:30:17 <Ballig> checking your encumberance is the only way you can be screwed over by it
13:30:21 <Avatar> need like 9 fame
13:30:37 <Avatar> you've got to check it man
13:31:18 <Ballig> you say people never audit your character sheets
13:31:22 <Ballig> who is going to audit your encumberance
13:31:31 <Avatar> yeah because it's on the honour system
13:31:36 <Avatar> so you shouldn't be a douche player
13:31:40 <Ballig> right
13:31:47 <Ballig> if you're being a douche, like charging on a roc, people might check it
13:32:12 <Avatar> so you should check your encumberance
13:32:41 <Ballig> why
13:32:42 <Ballig> who else is going to
13:32:53 <Avatar> I'm probably going to now
13:33:17 <Ballig> why
13:33:32 <Avatar> because you're fudging the rules on purpose!
13:33:40 <Ballig> I'm not fudging anything
13:33:43 <Ballig> I just haven't audited my encumberance
13:33:46 <Avatar> by not checking your encumberance
13:33:50 <Ballig> that's not fudging
13:33:56 <Avatar> yes it is
13:34:09 <Ballig> no, it's not
13:34:22 <Ballig> fudging actually requires you to actively adjust something
13:35:00 <Avatar> you're carrying nothing anyway
13:35:08 <Ballig> I'm aware
13:35:12 <Avatar> you stirrer
13:35:26 <Ballig> you're the one who assumed I was loaded up on battleaxes and full plate armour
13:35:37 <Avatar> you probably were I only just checked now
13:35:43 <Avatar> maybe you uploaded a new sheet
13:35:44 <Avatar> how do I know?
13:35:50 <Ballig> because there's a timestamp
13:35:55 <Avatar> maybe you fudged that too
13:35:58 <Avatar> how do I know?
13:36:00 <Ballig> it's plausible
13:36:03 <tristen> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9F7dL41VaRk
13:37:59 <Avatar> one of these maps is huge and it makes setting the grid harder than usual
13:38:09 <Ballig> ha
13:38:31 <Avatar> and I can't see the corner squares, to make it even more fun
13:40:36 <Avatar> tristen: what are you trying to say
13:40:39 <Avatar> spit it out
13:41:10 <Brunius_AFK> Sup yo
13:41:15 Brunius_AFK is now known as Brunius
13:41:43 <Avatar> brun
13:41:56 <Ballig> I think he was suggesting that we're as hilarious as John Cleese
13:42:05 <tristen> no i wasn't!
13:42:08 <tristen> lol
13:42:10 <Avatar> yes you were
13:42:13 <tristen> lolol
13:42:43 <Brunius> Jesus, maybe I shouldn't leave the computer on the whole time
13:42:51 <Brunius> My hard drive is hard to touch
13:43:01 <Ballig> you need proper cooling
13:43:05 <Ballig> or else you risk data loss
13:43:09 <Brunius> Probably!
13:44:26 <Avatar> Ballig: it turns out that if a grid alignment is out and can't be fixed, disabling CA's lines can actually make it easier to look at
13:44:54 <Ballig> it makes it easier to look at but the tokens won't line up into squares
13:44:57 <Ballig> which will be odd
13:46:17 <tristen> do most of the maps have a grid "pre-printed" on 'em?
13:46:39 <Ballig> the ones for pathfinder society do
13:46:50 <Ballig> it's why it can take ages to set the maps up so that the CA grid lines up with the pre-printed grid
13:46:50 <tristen> just a suggestion:
13:46:59 <tristen> but don't put a grid in ca
13:47:05 <Ballig> that's what Avatar is saying
13:47:07 <tristen> let the dm just place stuff
13:47:13 <tristen> right
13:47:15 <Ballig> that's a possibility
13:47:20 <Ballig> I could add a feature that allows freeform placement
13:47:25 <tristen> and if a map needs a grid
13:47:30 <tristen> just do it in the gimp or whatever
13:47:36 <tristen> yeah
13:47:40 <Ballig> well, I don't want to remove grids entirely from the program
13:47:44 <Ballig> it's a pretty integral part
13:47:48 <tristen> right
13:47:51 <tristen> optional
13:47:53 <Ballig> but a freeform placement feature is worthwhile considering
13:48:12 <Ballig> in the same way that you can draw freeform lines
13:48:13 <Avatar> yeah that is a good idea
13:48:41 <Avatar> all the maps are done now
13:48:49 <Avatar> I think mekkis went for a nap
13:49:19 <Avatar> this is a fairly long scenario
13:49:36 <Avatar> looks good though
13:50:14 <tristen> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/skills/heal
13:50:26 <tristen> see that? is that worth taking?
13:50:48 <Avatar> put a rank into it if it's a class skill
13:50:55 <tristen> yep
13:51:06 <Avatar> my character happens to need a healer
13:51:37 <Avatar> I put a rank into disable device on mellon, even though it's not a class skill
13:51:45 <Avatar> because I've got a high dex and it's trained only
13:51:51 <Avatar> and apparently it's not only rogues who can find traps now
13:52:11 <Ballig> I have a healer
13:52:18 <Ballig> he doesn't have heal though I don't think
13:52:21 <Brunius> gg
13:52:23 <tristen> i do now
13:52:23 <Avatar> lol
13:53:00 <Avatar> oh, hmm
13:53:05 <Avatar> faction missions look a bit different in season 3
13:53:18 <Avatar> like they do in first steps 3
13:53:23 <Avatar> I thought that was just a first steps 3 thing
13:55:04 <Spaceshot_tm2_> Brunius, get rise of immortals (free steam game), want to test it out with someone
13:55:06 <Ballig> what do yuo mean
13:59:24 <Avatar> the format
13:59:26 <Avatar> didn't you get yours
13:59:29 <Avatar> from yesterday
13:59:30 <Brunius> Is it some dota look-alike, spacer?
13:59:38 <Spaceshot_tm2_> so I've been told
13:59:43 <Spaceshot_tm2_> but it's meant to be persistant leveling
13:59:46 <Brunius> Then I'm not getting it
13:59:50 <Spaceshot_tm2_> not just game only leveling
13:59:53 <Spaceshot_tm2_> ?? why?
13:59:54 <Avatar> I'm not a fan of dota at all
13:59:59 <Ballig> there were no faction missions yesterday
14:00:15 <Avatar> you get a faction note at the end of first steps 3 from whatever faction you choose
14:00:20 <Ballig> that's not a mission though
14:00:35 <Avatar> yeah but it looks like what the faction missions in season 3 look like
14:00:37 <Spaceshot_tm2_> avatar, this isn't about you
14:00:44 <Avatar> Spaceshot_tm2_: just saying
14:00:48 <Spaceshot_tm2_> same :P
14:01:03 <Avatar> what if I want to play
14:01:08 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I'm not the biggest fan of dota and it's itterations either
14:01:23 <Spaceshot_tm2_> but the friends I play games with only play HoN
14:01:31 <Spaceshot_tm2_> and sometimes payday
14:02:05 <Ballig> thelen is on skype
14:02:40 <Avatar> I specifically got this scenario because it was one of the few mekkis hasn't played yet
14:03:32 <Avatar> actually uh
14:03:35 <Avatar> I could run shades of ice 1
14:04:19 <Avatar> I'd need more time to prep it
14:04:27 <Avatar> is thelen around?
14:04:32 <Ballig> he said if he's on skype he's around
14:04:34 <Avatar> and wanting to play
14:04:51 <Avatar> I'll start prepping it, it's already half-prepped
14:06:15 <tristen> i'll see if i can rouse him
14:08:11 <tristen> hey i've uploaded my first shot at leveling up tasiv
14:09:54 <Ballig> you'll want to put in the stuff under your base attack
14:09:58 <Ballig> so your base attack is +2
14:10:17 <Ballig> which makes your CMB 14 = 2(base) + 2(str) + 0(size)
14:10:44 <Ballig> and CMD 18 = 2(base) + 2(str) + 0(size) +4(dex) +10
14:11:14 <Ballig> that stuff is used for making special attacks like grapples or trips or bullrushes, and to defend against those attacks
14:11:26 <Ballig> er, CMB is +4
14:11:28 <Ballig> not 14
14:12:44 <tristen> ok what do the two acronyms stand for?
14:13:12 <Ballig> combat manoeuvre bonus and combat manoeuvre defence
14:13:20 <tristen> k ta will do
14:13:20 <Ballig> so CMB is what you use to make that kind of attack, and CMD is your defence against it
14:13:26 <tristen> righto
14:13:34 <tristen> cheers
14:13:40 <Ballig> (you're particularly difficult to grapple for your level)
14:14:39 <Avatar> you use CMB and CMD for things like grappling and tripping and so forth
14:14:57 <Avatar> cmb is what you/they roll to attack, and it's vs their/your CMD
14:15:01 <Ballig> glad Avatar is here, it's not like I already said exactly that 4 minutes ago ;)
14:15:09 <Avatar> yeah lucky
14:15:31 <tristen> shizen 18 on cmd sounds awesome
14:15:42 <Ballig> yeah your high dex makes you hard to do those attacks against
14:15:52 <Avatar> I think it's harder to make combat maneouvers in pathfinder than it was in 3.5
14:16:05 <Avatar> easier to defend against
14:16:06 <Ballig> in some cases yeah
14:16:18 <tristen> so say that scenario yesterday
14:16:25 <Avatar> any word on thelen?
14:16:28 <tristen> when that, er, sob was running for the door
14:16:36 <tristen> no but he's around
14:16:41 <tristen> if his skype is on
14:16:51 <Avatar> maybe call him
14:16:51 <tristen> i'll try ringing one sec
14:16:52 <Avatar> turn on the siren
14:16:55 <tristen> yep
14:17:14 <Avatar> what factions are you two
14:17:20 <Ballig> yeah someone could have tried to grapple him if they got close enough
14:17:27 <Ballig> if they didn't think he might be too difficult to grab
14:17:41 <tristen> andoran
14:17:47 <tristen> ballig: yeah
14:18:00 <Ballig> which character
14:18:07 <tristen> tasiv
14:18:10 <Avatar> whichever one you plan to use for shades of ice
14:18:23 <tristen> oh
14:18:50 <Ballig> osirion
14:18:56 <tristen> actually i never got in an adjacent square to have a go at that
14:19:27 <Avatar> you're not dead yet
14:19:37 <tristen> is there ever much "i'll try and put an arrow in his leg" stuff going on in pathfinder?
14:19:38 <Ballig> who's not dead
14:20:09 <Ballig> HOMER: And I don't have to tell girls how their bodies work because I don't know. BART: You never told me how my body works. HOMER: Point and shoot.
14:20:24 <Ballig> you can't do a called shot in pathfinder
14:20:53 <tristen> okee
14:21:02 <tristen> hey no reply from thelen
14:21:06 <tristen> yet
14:21:09 <Ballig> you can probably get variant rules for critical hits that do different kinds of damage to a specific bodypart
14:21:11 <tristen> but he's probably eating
14:21:14 <Ballig> but they aren't used in pathfinder society
14:21:14 <tristen> or on the can
14:21:22 <tristen> or, god forbid, both
14:21:25 <Ballig> go around his house and see if he's in the bathroom
14:21:33 <Ballig> don't knock, just barge in
14:21:48 <tristen> cmb +4
14:21:56 <Ballig> "HEY JOSHUA ARE YOU ON THE TOILET? Oh, you are. So how are you? Nah, I don't want to leave yet."
14:22:02 <tristen> (that's what i've learned today)
14:22:40 <tristen> hey i've got to help a neighbour for about 10 minutes
14:22:46 <tristen> lol wait
14:22:53 <Avatar> take your time
14:22:56 <Thelen> WHAT
14:23:01 <tristen> no thelen just jumped on
14:23:02 <Ballig> were you pooping Thelen
14:23:10 <Thelen> no
14:23:12 <tristen> or eating or both?
14:23:13 <Thelen> watching friend play game
14:23:20 <Ballig> you do that while pooping?
14:23:23 <Ballig> isn't that a little weird?
14:23:26 <Thelen> yes
14:23:29 <Ballig> do you make them come into the bathroom with you with their handheld or something?
14:23:31 <tristen> it's like a japanese rpg
14:23:43 <Ballig> I'm never going over Thelen's place
14:24:08 <Avatar> are osirion faction missions usually particularly hard to read
14:24:08 <tristen> speaking of thelen's place: where's scottie thelen?
14:24:18 <tristen> BRING ON THE SCOTTIE
14:24:25 <Thelen> he here
14:24:34 <tristen> "oh aye lads"
14:24:35 <tristen> lolol
14:24:43 <Ballig> I've never done an osirion faction mission
14:24:55 <tristen> hey so can i piss off for about 10 or 15?
14:24:59 <tristen> tops
14:24:59 <Avatar> go nuts man
14:25:01 <tristen> okee
14:26:10 <Thelen> he's probably going to play with his nuts
14:26:11 <Thelen> :D
14:26:44 <Avatar> alright I'll start sending you some stuff I guess
14:27:04 <Thelen> not aids i hope
14:27:07 <Brunius> Yeah Avatar Osirion faction missions are a pain to read
14:27:12 <Brunius> It's that font
14:27:14 <Avatar> you're cheliax, you love that kind of thing
14:27:22 <Avatar> I had to make the osirion handout bigger than the others
14:28:51 <Thelen> XD
14:29:44 <Avatar> I might need a coffee
14:29:48 <Avatar> and some tomatoes
14:29:56 <Thelen> to throw at us?
14:30:42 <Avatar> they're small tomatoes, so I don't think that'd work
14:34:30 <Thelen> XD
14:34:32 <Thelen> blowdart :D
14:34:39 <Avatar> uh, did I send you both the map

15:00:56 <Avatar> The meeting in Absalom with Drandle Dreng nearly a month
15:00:57 <Avatar> ago was brief, as always.
15:01:29 <Avatar> “I have a routine mission for you, though a dangerous routine mission,” the old man whispered in the great hall in the Grand Lodge. Suffering from a cold and weak from lack of food and rest, the old venture-captain looked quite possibly the worst you’d ever seen him. Through wracking coughs he explained, “An ally of ours in the Land of the Linnorm Kings—Rognvald Skagni—is writing a
15:01:30 <Avatar> lengthy report on the state of government in the
15:01:30 <Avatar> northern countries of Avistan. I received a letter from him just yesterday requesting several key documents from the vaults here to help him finish the report.” Venture-Captain Dreng patted a large, heavy-looking chest next to him. “These are the documents, and I need you to board a ship north to deliver them to Skagni.”
15:01:55 <Avatar> Dreng tried to stand at that point, but a fit of coughing sent him back into his
15:01:56 <Avatar> seat. He gestured for a well-dressed, impeccably kept man standing in the shadows of the room to approach and whispered raspy orders to him. The man picked up a small pouch and a large key and handed them both to the party. “Venture-Captain Dreng is unwell, as you can see. He wished me to give you this key and this pouch of gold. The key opens the chest, and the gold will buy you passage and
15:01:56 <Avatar> get you from the Linnorm coast to Trollheim, where Skagni resides. Whatever you do, do not let the chest out of your sight and do not, under any circumstances, allow it to be searched. These documents are for Mr. Skagni’s eyes
15:01:56 <Avatar> only. Are we understood?”
15:04:50 <Artimus> "Must the documents remain in the chest? Can we take them out and put them somewhere else safer?"
15:05:52 <Avatar> "The chest is full, and it's secure - you'll need to take it with you."
15:07:16 <Tasiv> "yes, get the clw wand"
15:07:24 <Hitomi> "i'll have one too"
15:07:50 <Artimus> I'm getting a wand of endure elements
15:07:53 <Artimus> with 2 prestige points
15:10:06 <Artimus> we'll move on
15:10:08 <Avatar> Dreng’s nameless servant waited for a reply and then smiled. “Good. Now run along; Venture-Captain Dreng needs his rest.”
15:10:09 <Hitomi> we leave
15:11:02 <Avatar> the directions you're provided by Venture Captain Dreng's assistant are somewhat unclear
15:11:22 <Avatar> but after a few wrong turns due to poor handwriting, you eventually reach your destination
15:11:31 <Avatar> but there's a problem
15:13:15 <Brunius> It's the city dump?
15:13:20 <Hitomi> XD

15:19:02 <Avatar> Skagni's home is burned down
15:19:10 <Artimus> "Well, Hells."

15:21:02 <Artimus> I hate you Hitomi
15:21:05 <Tasiv> 16/16
15:21:35 <Artimus> "Let's investigate."
15:21:54 <Artimus> I'll perceptualise
15:22:12 <Avatar> Where the directions indicate Skagni’s house should be
15:22:13 <Avatar> stands only the charred husk of a burnt-out building. Bits of
15:22:13 <Avatar> burnt timber and ruined furniture lie scattered about, but if
15:22:13 <Avatar> anything remained after the fire, it seems to have been picked
15:22:13 <Avatar> over and looted. Though most of the walls are blackened
15:22:13 <Avatar> with soot, a patch along the former front of the residence
15:22:13 <Avatar> still shows relatively clean, white walls. Smeared across those
15:22:13 <Avatar> white walls, written in reddish-brown letters four feet tall, are
15:22:13 <Avatar> the words, “Pathfinders go home.”
15:22:39 <Artimus> I'll cast detect magic
15:22:43 <Artimus> and inspect the charred remains
15:23:46 <Tasiv> !throw 1d20+1 perc

15:23:53 <diebot> Hitomi, perc: [1d20=13] 15
15:24:22 <Avatar> none of you find anything, you don't detect any magic
15:25:27 <Artimus> I'll cast guidance
15:25:29 <Artimus> and then use perception myself

15:25:54 <Avatar> you have less luck than Hitomi
15:25:59 <Artimus> your face has less luck
15:26:07 <Artimus> we'll ask around
15:26:08 <Artimus> about the fire
15:26:09 <Avatar> as you look around, some thugs come from out of the bushes!

16:47:59 <Hitomi> "Do you know where we could find this Miss White?
16:48:02 <Artimus> "How dastardly."
16:48:05 <Avatar> "If you're looking for her, I'd bring a dozen more of you. She's tough that one, not someone I'd want to mess with."

16:49:49 <Avatar> 3 hours have passed
16:50:35 <Artimus> [5:48:00 PM] <+Artimus> we'll try and meet up with Tasiv
16:50:35 <Artimus> [5:48:03 PM] <+Artimus> to tell him we have a lead on Runa
16:50:58 <Avatar> you meet up with Tasiv, who doesn't have any luck finding any information
16:51:26 <Artimus> "Apparently this Runa hangs around the market. She's a cleric and has some hired goons."
16:53:29 <Artimus> we'll go ask around the markets

16:55:13 <Avatar> a buyer in the market tells you:
16:55:39 <Avatar> "Yeah, I know those two. They approached my friends and me and offered us a ridiculous sum to work with them."
16:55:47 <Artimus> "What was the job?"
16:56:01 <Avatar> "Mercenary."
16:56:11 <Artimus> "How long ago was the offer made?"
16:56:45 <Avatar> "About a week ago."
16:56:51 <Artimus> "Do you know how to contact them now?"
16:57:46 <Avatar> "No way, and I don't want to deal with them again. I mean, come now, there was no way for a *washed-up* Ulfen warrior and a foreign *she-devil* from the south."
16:58:32 <Avatar> no way was I going to work for a *
16:58:36 <Hitomi> "Do yuo know about a house burning down in the west?"
16:58:48 <Avatar> "No idea."
16:59:01 <Hitomi> "Who would know?"
16:59:25 <Avatar> "I don't even know what you're talking about. The guard maybe? I don't know."

16:59:51 <Avatar> you go talk to the guards around Trollheim to see what you can find
16:59:56 <Avatar> !throw 1d4
16:59:56 <diebot> Avatar, 1d4: [1d4=2] 2
17:00:12 <Avatar> you catch the night watch, who has something to say
17:01:24 <Avatar> "Can't say I remember the name of the place, but they tried to hire my cousin, they told him to meet them at some hole in the market."
17:01:59 <Artimus> "Any specific time of day? Or just whenever he wanted?"
17:02:04 <Hitomi> "Do you know about a fire in a house on the west?"
17:02:06 <Avatar> "You'd best do your poking around there and stop pestering the peaceful folk of Trollheim before they decide to yank your entrails from your mouth and strangle you with them."
17:02:21 <Avatar> "We attended that fire, but we weren't able to find out much about it."
17:02:28 <Hitomi> "When was it?"
17:03:04 <Avatar> "A few days ago."
17:03:09 <Artimus> we ask for information about the hole in the market
17:03:20 <Artimus> (i.e. where it is, what it is, etc)
17:03:29 <Avatar> "Like I said, I don't remember the name of the place."
17:03:38 <Avatar> "I just remember my cousin getting involved."
17:03:48 <Hitomi> "Would some gold refresh your memory?"
17:03:52 <Artimus> "How can we talk to your cousin?"
17:04:07 <Avatar> "You trying to bribe a guard? Not wise, sir."
17:04:11 <Avatar> "Best you be moving along."
17:05:12 <Artimus> okay
17:05:15 <Artimus> we go find lodging for the night
17:05:40 <Hitomi> "Sorry, one last thing, where be your cuzin?"
17:05:47 <Avatar> "Probably at the tavern."
17:05:55 <Hitomi> "Which tavern?"
17:05:59 <Avatar> "Pick one."
17:06:07 <Avatar> and the guard leaves, impatient
17:06:07 <Hitomi> "Thanks. Bai bai"
17:07:42 <Avatar> 2sp each
17:07:46 <Avatar> for lodging
17:07:48 * Hitomi pays the man
17:08:02 <Avatar> you spend the night, nothing happens except a somewhat uncomfortable sleep

17:10:25 <diebot> Artimus, tasiv: [1d20=9] 10
17:10:58 <Avatar> your trip through the market takes you into a tavern, and you talk to the bartender who says:
17:11:28 <Avatar> sorry, not the bartender, a patron who's getting ready to be drunk
17:11:43 <Avatar> it's still early in the morning
17:12:18 <Avatar> "Hjort and Runa, you say? Yeah I know 'em. I drink a beer and punch a guy in the face every now and then at the Horned Helm, and they've been there for weeks. Months, maybe."
17:12:37 <Avatar> "I tell ya, that Hjort can throw a punch, and don't get Runa started about religion."
17:13:09 <Artimus> "Thanks sir. Here, let me buy you a mug of ale."
17:13:11 <Avatar> "She's likely to talk about it long enough that it starts a fight and the way she ends fights ain't fair, ain't right, and ain't normal.
17:13:13 <Hitomi> "Did they have many people hanging around with them?"
17:13:55 <Tasiv> "my name is barnard gumble"
17:13:56 <Avatar> "Runa is a dark-haired woman from Cheliax, and Hjort is a large brute with red hair, a red beard, and a scar across his left cheek."
17:14:14 <Avatar> he doesn't care about anything else you have to say, going back to his drink
17:15:04 <Artimus> we'll go to that hotel
17:15:06 <Artimus> horned helm
17:15:19 <Avatar> that's game for now
17:15:25 <Tasiv> fair nuff
17:15:26 * Avatar removes voice from Artimus Hitomi Tasiv
17:16:02 Tasiv is now known as tristen
17:16:08 Hitomi is now known as Thelen
17:19:00 <tristen> cheers all
17:19:02 <Thelen> ty guys
17:19:52 Artimus is now known as Ballig
17:22:49 <Avatar> we be goblins is actually better played a bit later in your pathfinder's career anyway I think
17:23:01 <Avatar> I thought it was too early when tristen played it
17:23:14 <Avatar> because it's quite different to the norm, it's good for a break
17:23:28 <Avatar> just got to play it before you hit level 3
17:23:48 <Avatar> otherwise you'll end up needing a second character
17:23:55 <Thelen> ah
17:24:05 <Ballig> well
17:24:25 <Ballig> the only reason any of that is true is because there are now "level 1 only" scenarios
17:24:28 <Ballig> and "level 1 or 2 only" scenarios
17:24:32 <Ballig> but I don't think it makes that much difference
17:24:40 <Ballig> there are enough scenarios to get multiple characters to level 12
17:25:24 <Avatar> I think tristen played it for his very first scenario
17:25:56 <Avatar> yeah and thelen came in the next day for first steps 1
17:26:32 <Ballig> that doesn't mean much though
17:28:22 <Avatar> I wonder if it'd be smart to add some DM experience onto Cairo and try and un-retire him
17:28:28 <Avatar> since I find him a bit useless where he is
17:28:46 <Ballig> what do you mean "where he is"
17:28:47 <Ballig> what's wrong with him
17:28:52 <Avatar> level 4
17:28:59 <Avatar> he's very unoptimised
17:29:09 <Avatar> needs at least level 5 I think
17:29:31 <Avatar> getting to level 4 was a pretty big demotivator
17:29:40 <Avatar> 3 scenarios later... you're still useless !
17:30:32 <Ballig> what do you mean useless and unoptimised though
17:30:34 <Ballig> what's wrong with him
17:36:13 <Avatar> his str and dex are both at 10
17:36:33 <Avatar> his domain gives him improved unarmed strike (he had to get a morningstar instead to do real damage)
17:36:43 <Avatar> which rarely lands, because of the dodgy str
17:36:51 <Avatar> the xbow isn't much help either with the dodgy dex
17:37:05 <Avatar> he's okay at tanking, and it's a healer build, so he's good at that
17:37:09 <Avatar> but for a while he tends to have nothing to do
17:37:12 <Ballig> well
17:37:16 <Ballig> not necessarily "healer build"
17:37:18 <Avatar> I got a bit lost with feats as well
17:37:25 <Ballig> clerics also have some decent damaging spells
17:37:41 <Avatar> yeah I am not good with cleric spells, I couldnt' find anything great
17:37:56 <Avatar> level 2 spells he was using bull's strength, hold person, silence
17:37:57 <Ballig> level 4?
17:37:58 <Ballig> so level 2 spells?
17:38:02 <Avatar> yeah
17:38:35 <Ballig> darkness can be useful
17:38:43 <Ballig> or enthrall
17:39:03 <Avatar> darkness fucks up party members as well doesn't it
17:39:08 <Avatar> it's effectively obscuring mist?
17:39:09 <Ballig> yeah
17:39:23 <Avatar> what does enthrall do
17:39:53 <snypt> sarp
17:40:20 <Avatar> snypt: where were you 3 hours ago
17:40:22 <Avatar> just had a game
17:40:30 <snypt> 3 hours ago i was at work
17:40:35 <Avatar> I keep telling you man
17:40:36 <Avatar> just quit
17:40:41 <snypt> after xmas
17:40:43 <Avatar> tell them the reason is you need to play some sweet, sweet PFS
17:40:46 <snypt> then i can afford to quit
17:40:55 <Ballig> enthrall makes people ignore their surroundings and listen to you
17:40:58 <Avatar> what's your availability like over xmas
17:41:04 <Ballig> you can use it in combat, or you can use it to cause a major magical distraction
17:41:06 <snypt> patchy
17:41:18 <Avatar> yeah I am looking at the description, it actually looks very hardcore
17:41:30 <Avatar> will negates and spell resistance yes
17:41:31 <Ballig> hold person is huge
17:41:47 <Ballig> hold person can completely change the tide of combat
17:41:51 <Avatar> 3 2nd level spells per day
17:42:00 <Avatar> I think I was uh
17:42:07 <Avatar> I was playing Cairo at cons mostly during the latter half
17:42:12 <Avatar> so maybe too many people in the party played a part
17:42:24 <Avatar> played shades of ice 1 and 2 with Cairo, and that was a 6 person table
17:42:32 <Ballig> yeah
17:42:38 <Avatar> 5 people table after Brunius took off for shades of ice 2
17:42:39 <Ballig> zone of truth is also really useful outside of combat
17:42:45 <Ballig> and silence has some amazing uses
17:43:06 <Avatar> for some reason I never found good times to use them
17:43:15 <Avatar> maybe I needed cure moderate or something
17:43:17 <Ballig> zome of truth is the kind of thing you want to carry a scroll for
17:43:19 <Ballig> maybe enthrall too
17:43:25 <Ballig> zome/zone
17:43:31 <Ballig> you never need to prepare cure except in a healing domain slot
17:43:35 <Ballig> otherwise you can spontaneously cast it
17:43:41 <Avatar> yeah I mean it was spontaneously casted
17:43:45 <Ballig> yeah
17:43:57 <Ballig> scrolls are your best friend as a caster when it comes to really useful spells that you won't use all the time and don't want to keep prepared
17:44:28 <Avatar> it's funny how party members aren't supposed to trust each with faction stuff but will happily hand over 750gp wands to the cleric regardless
17:44:31 <Ballig> 150gp which is a bit high, but for a great magical distraction or a magically coerced confession it can be worth it
17:44:40 <Ballig> haha yeah
17:44:51 <Avatar> especially mekkis
17:50:32 <Spaceshot_tm2_> snypt, you're in melb aren't you?
17:50:37 <snypt> i am
17:50:49 <Spaceshot_tm2_> anywhere near the cbd?
17:50:53 <snypt> nope
17:51:01 <snypt> outer northen subs
17:51:02 <Spaceshot_tm2_> as far away as Brunius?
17:51:07 <Brunius> What do you need from the cbd, Spaceshot?
17:51:12 <snypt> probably not
17:51:32 <snypt> takes about half an hour to drive into town from my place
17:51:40 <Brunius> Hour and a half, bitchiz
17:51:41 <Spaceshot_tm2_> my educational institute is like 2mins out of the CBD
17:51:45 <Brunius> Ah
17:51:53 <Spaceshot_tm2_> yea, AIE
17:52:00 <Brunius> Just so you know, I'm fine with travelling an hour and a half
17:52:15 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I doubt you would be fine doing that weekly
17:52:17 <Brunius> I'm already travelling 2 hours each day for school, an hour extra for recreation isn't much
17:52:18 <Spaceshot_tm2_> XD
17:52:32 <Spaceshot_tm2_> get closer you boggan
17:52:39 <Brunius> I've been travelling an hour each way to Blackburn for PFS
17:52:54 <Brunius> bogan, you mean?
17:52:59 <Brunius> AWW YEAH MATE
17:53:13 <Brunius> Someone blew up the bus shelter in Emerald the other day :S
17:53:18 <Avatar> brunius what's the deal about travelling to blackburn
17:53:24 <Spaceshot_tm2_> lol, terrorist farmers
17:53:25 <Brunius> What do you mean what's the deal?
17:53:33 <Avatar> like why do you prefer to go to blackburn instead of play here
17:53:44 <Avatar> not upset about it, just interested why you would want to do that
17:53:46 <Brunius> The cops were hiding behind it and getting people for speeding, so they blew the shelter up
17:53:55 <Brunius> Because it takes way less time, Avatar
17:54:16 <Avatar> too much planning maybe
17:54:31 <Avatar> we were talking yesterday about putting a rule on ourselves that if 5 minutes pass, players push themselves to just make a decision regardless
17:54:40 <Avatar> non-DM enforcable
17:54:50 <Avatar> which everyone was pretty happy about
17:55:06 <Brunius> That should eliminate our 20 minute planning sessions
17:55:21 <Spaceshot_tm2_> make it TnT rules
17:55:28 <Brunius> TnT rules/
17:55:30 <Brunius> ?
17:55:35 <Spaceshot_tm2_> Tunnels and Trolls
17:55:37 <Avatar> we only decided it like, last scenario
17:55:49 <Avatar> I actually said at the beginning of this one, well hang on, too quick I think
17:55:53 <Spaceshot_tm2_> in combat/stressful situations time is of the essence
17:55:55 <Avatar> but they insisted
17:56:20 <snypt> messing with the rules like that overcomplicates things
17:56:24 <Spaceshot_tm2_> you don't get time to flick through your character sheets, or theories 'if' statements
17:56:47 <Avatar> there's nothing being messed with
17:56:49 <Spaceshot_tm2_> making the game faster by putting people in the moment and stressing at a stressful moment makes the game more complicated?
17:57:06 <snypt> yeah if i want to take time making a decision i will take time
17:57:18 <Avatar> yeah but that ends up with 8 hour scenarios
17:57:18 <Spaceshot_tm2_> how does that make sense though snypt?
17:57:28 <Spaceshot_tm2_> you turn it into a TBS rather than a roleplaying game
17:58:12 <Avatar> it's always up to the players to take longer if they really want to, but if they say okay we're going to try take no more than 5 minutes
17:58:47 <Spaceshot_tm2_> meh, I don't prefer even that amount of time
17:58:54 <Avatar> you would
17:58:57 <Avatar> 5 minutes feels superfast
17:59:06 <Spaceshot_tm2_> but I play at a table which doesn't allow for more much multitasking
17:59:07 <Avatar> when they did it today I was like wow
17:59:11 <Spaceshot_tm2_> and no, I mean I'd suggest less time
17:59:20 <Avatar> the original suggestion was 2 minutes
17:59:26 <Avatar> and I thought no way, make it 5
17:59:33 <Spaceshot_tm2_> at a table 2mins is long
17:59:34 <snypt> i can understand having a time limit in combat but any other time it should not matter how long you think on something
17:59:35 <Avatar> if there's a decision to make, there's at least 2 sides of it, right?
17:59:42 <Avatar> that's about 1 minute for each side to tell their story
17:59:46 <Avatar> 1 minute of debate for each side
17:59:49 <Avatar> and that's about it
17:59:53 <Avatar> a bit of change to think
17:59:58 <Avatar> it's nothing
18:00:01 <Spaceshot_tm2_> if it's a non-combat and non-stressful situation I'd allow as much time and party planning as they want
18:00:04 <Avatar> that's assuming only two tactics
18:00:15 <Spaceshot_tm2_> but if it's a combat turn or a stressful situation, start that egg timer
18:00:16 <Avatar> it's not DM enforced
18:00:23 <Avatar> it's a party decision they put on themselves
18:00:27 <Avatar> to keep things moving
18:00:42 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I'm a bit less passive than you though avatar
18:00:44 <Brunius> It should eliminate me getting bored and just starting shooting ;)
18:00:49 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I'm a dick for story/game sake
18:00:53 <Avatar> Brunius: exactly :P
18:01:09 <snypt> i dont think ill be in that party then
18:01:16 <Brunius> Derau "Feth this gak, I shoot the guy below me"
18:01:27 <Spaceshot_tm2_> but that makes sense
18:01:31 <Avatar> you just learn to plan faster snypt
18:01:36 <Avatar> make better use of the time you have
18:01:46 <Spaceshot_tm2_> mmm
18:01:47 <snypt> nah i dont think so
18:01:55 <snypt> ill just play in games where i can take my time
18:01:57 <snypt> i like to think
18:02:08 <Spaceshot_tm2_> if you're facing 12 orcs charging your way
18:02:12 <Avatar> how long do you want to think
18:02:20 <snypt> as long as it takes
18:02:20 <Avatar> if 5 minutes is unreasonable?
18:02:20 <Spaceshot_tm2_> you don't have 10mins to decide which spell would be the most effective
18:02:31 <Avatar> well how long is as long as it takes do you think, give us an estimate
18:02:34 <snypt> yes i do
18:02:46 <snypt> i dont know it would depend on the situation
18:02:52 <snypt> sometimes it will be well under 5 mins
18:02:56 <snypt> most of the time even
18:03:04 <snypt> but sometimes maybe not
18:03:07 <Spaceshot_tm2_> snypt, would you litterally have that much time if you were actually the character?
18:03:19 <snypt> depending on the situation maybe i would
18:03:26 <Spaceshot_tm2_> 12 orcs charging at you
18:03:31 <Brunius> Gotta go yo
18:03:40 <Spaceshot_tm2_> you have a min or 2 max
18:03:47 <snypt> that is in combat
18:03:49 <Spaceshot_tm2_> depending on the surrounding terrain
18:03:54 <snypt> so you woul dneed to be quick
18:03:55 <Spaceshot_tm2_> not combat yet
18:04:02 <Avatar> I think the party wouldn't worry too much about exceptional cases taking longer than 5 minutes
18:04:06 <Avatar> it's just a rule of thumb
18:04:19 <Avatar> but not every second encounter
18:04:21 Brunius is now known as Brunius_AFK
18:04:22 <snypt> what is the point of it then if going over 5 mins wont matter
18:04:32 <Spaceshot_tm2_> if it's a situation where taking time as if it were a litteral extraction in the game, would fuck over the character
18:04:41 <Spaceshot_tm2_> need to be done quick otherwise it takes you out of the moment
18:05:04 <Avatar> because it speeds up the game most of the time
18:05:11 <snypt> still there is no rule in the game saying you need to act within a real world time frame
18:05:30 <snypt> so it is a rule that some people wil follow and others wont
18:05:32 <Spaceshot_tm2_> real world is a bit of a far fetch depending the situation
18:05:34 <snypt> and i wont
18:05:41 <Spaceshot_tm2_> why not snypt?
18:05:46 <snypt> because i dont want to
18:05:55 <Spaceshot_tm2_> do you play dnd as a 'role'playing game or a 'roll'playing game?
18:07:26 <snypt> i see talking to you is still like kicking myself in the face
18:07:43 <snypt> how about this ill play the game the way i want to play the game within the rules
18:07:49 <snypt> if you dont like it
18:07:53 <snypt> too bad
18:08:00 <snypt> play with someone else
18:08:36 <Spaceshot_tm2_> or, you could try to have a conversation and not act as if I'm wanting to punch you in the face if you don't give me the answer I CLEARLY want
18:09:02 <snypt> tbh i dont really want to play with you at all
18:09:11 <snypt> you are an arrogant little shit
18:09:18 <Avatar> alright let's tone it down aye
18:09:26 <Spaceshot_tm2_> all I'm trying to find out is that if you do play the game with the intention to get immersed in the character you are playing or not
18:09:33 <snypt> good chance i have almost 10 years on you in age and experience in dnd
18:09:36 <Avatar> if you don't like the rule you obviously don't have to go wth it
18:09:48 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I do, I play each character I play as if it is I doing those actions (with the adjusted personality of course)
18:10:00 <snypt> good job
18:10:10 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I bet age, don't really care to go into numbers on dnd experience
18:10:14 <snypt> you want a pat on the back
18:10:16 <snypt> ?
18:10:20 <snypt> a hug maybe?
18:10:29 <Avatar> guys seriously
18:10:30 <Avatar> let it go
18:10:31 <snypt> i know i dont give a shit how you play
18:10:41 <Spaceshot_tm2_> nice passive agressiveness in the form of sarcastic dictitry
18:10:59 <snypt> thanks =)
18:11:32 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I liked it
18:11:45 <Spaceshot_tm2_> thought it could use some douchbagness though
18:11:51 <Spaceshot_tm2_> was missing a little 'oomph'
18:12:14 <snypt> its ok makes you no less of a dick than you were last time we spoke
18:12:26 <snypt> if anything you are getting better at it
18:12:29 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I doubt it would snypt, doubt it would XD
18:12:33 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I try
18:13:28 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I'm just saying I like how TnT prefers you do it
18:14:26 <Spaceshot_tm2_> if you are falling from a high distance, you have about 10secs or so to cast feather fall, or do an equivilant action before the DM/GM will say "you go splat on the ground"
18:15:21 <Mekkis> especially me?
18:15:43 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I don't know what that is refering to
18:16:41 <Mekkis> Avatar, you dinged me
18:16:56 <Avatar> what
18:17:32 <Avatar> did you read the rest of what that was about :P
18:17:39 <Avatar> how does dinging you actually work
18:17:48 <Avatar> do you only see that line and nothing around it?
18:18:01 <Mekkis> I did
18:18:21 <Mekkis> it looks like you're having a go at me for not helping opposing factions with their missions
18:18:43 <Avatar> but being okay with helping opposing factions to your wands :P
18:18:56 <Mekkis> it doesn't help the opposing faction
18:19:01 <Avatar> you don't know
18:19:04 <Avatar> you're trusting them with it
18:19:07 <Mekkis> ah
18:19:09 <Mekkis> I do
18:19:09 <Avatar> with your big bad 750gp item
18:19:29 <Avatar> seems a little contradictory
18:31:04 <Mekkis> it's the difference between lending your Iranian friend your car, and telling them classified military secrets
18:32:38 <Ballig> I think I got blackout working well

18:58:06 <Mekkis> Thelen, can you ping6 ipv6.google.com on the host?
19:13:42 <Avatar> I think it's the difference between lending your iranian friend your car, and letting them taunt someone you don't like
19:42:04 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I said it ballig
19:42:06 <Spaceshot_tm2_> and yep that's it
