09:07 <Avatar> melbourne's getting a heatwave from 1st till the 3rd
09:10 <Ballig> it's the bartender's turn
09:16 <Avatar> up to 39 degrees
09:16 <Ballig> she casts shatter on the aquarium, jumps throgh it and is gone
09:23 <Valeros> :S
09:46 <Valeros> We should get Mekkis to play when he gets back 12:30am
11:08 <Valeros> Huzzah
12:18 <Avatar> Mekkis you haven't reported my first steps session
12:40 <Valeros> Done?
13:07 <Avatar> or cairo on shades of ice 1
13:09 <Toro> yeah
13:10 <Toro> done
13:18 <Avatar> what are you waiting for
15:39 <Brunius> Flashys are annoying
16:11 <Ballig> you'll get 394.75 gold for the scenario
16:27 <Ballig> we did that in about 4 hours, that was pretty good
16:34 <Thwang> so we count the silver?
16:36 <Brunius> More than that
16:41 <Avatar> what
16:43 <Brunius> 5-6?
16:43 <Avatar> how did we get .75
16:45 <Ballig> we started at about 8
16:48 <Brunius> Avatar
16:54 <Ballig> you get 394 gold, 7 silver and 5 copper
16:57 <Brunius> Did you listen on Skype before?
17:02 <Avatar> man don't say that
17:03 <Brunius> The boat fare?
17:03 <Avatar> just explain it
17:10 <Avatar> yeah, I said I'd pay the extra gp
17:14 <Ballig> that was for the boat fare
17:19 <Avatar> yeah
17:21 <Avatar> 6+6+6+7
17:22 <Ballig> you have to split it evenly
17:29 <Avatar> why? I offered the 7
17:31 <Thwang> I don't think you get a choice of fees
17:32 <Brunius> le sigh
17:36 <Ballig> [8:05:04 PM] <+Brunius> I'm going fighter
17:36 <Ballig> [8:05:07 PM] * Brunius is now known as Valeros
17:41 <Ballig> you can hardly say it was more than 4 hours
17:46 <Brunius> Yeah
17:50 <Ballig> you guys piss-fucked around for the first 30-40 minutes
17:51 <Brunius> Brain wasn't functioning
18:04 <Thwang> XD
18:07 <Avatar> can we say I pay 7
18:11 <Ballig> that's our shortest scenario yet
18:12 <Thwang> that was quick, even with a fucktard for the first half
18:16 <Brunius> Jesus Avatar
18:17 <Ballig> Avatar: no
18:20 <Brunius> Just let it go
18:20 <Avatar> guh
18:32 <Brunius> But a torch or something to even it out
18:34 <Avatar> I want to spend the extra
18:41 <Thwang> so, 1fame = 1k or 1fame =500 total spend?
18:44 <Ballig> 5 torches will chew up the 5 copper
18:53 <Brunius> But 75 torches!
18:54 <Avatar> yeah I buy 5 torches
18:55 <Ballig> if you spend 2 prestige you can buy a single item worth 750 gold
18:57 <Mekkis> this stupid database to fix itself
19:03 <Brunius> Night yo
19:09 <Ballig> 'night Brewnus
19:35 <Thwang> when I get my first level of rogue I'll think about a cure light wounds
20:01 <Avatar> a blanket and 2 pitons
20:06 <Ballig> I'm happy to run we be goblins tomorrow afternoon
20:13 <Spaceshot> finish it?
20:14 <Ballig> or tomorrow morning if Mekkis doesn't show for the continuation of our game
20:17 <Avatar> new years eve man
20:22 <Avatar> what database
20:40 <Ballig> new years eve is for losers
20:48 <Avatar> don't know if that's the concensus
20:53 <Avatar> if people are here fair enough
20:55 <Ballig> it is
20:56 <Ballig> I read it somewhere
21:03 <Avatar> in your diary
21:10 <Mekkis> on one of the client's servers
21:12 <Ballig> says the livejournaler
21:22 <Avatar> yeah but I write about how NYE rocks
21:29 <Avatar> so actually I read it somewhere
21:32 <Avatar> ha
21:43 <Ballig> ha
21:52 <Spaceshot> and we can't keep any item we find in a scenario can we?
21:56 <Ballig> too bad you guys missed the sweet boon
21:59 <Ballig> no
22:08 <Spaceshot> boon?
22:09 <Avatar> Spaceshot you are a pretty good player for someone who tries to cheat the system
22:13 <Spaceshot> hahaha
22:23 <Avatar> yeah you jokers didn't do anything at the shrine when wyrm took off
22:24 <Spaceshot> I know my RPing
22:30 <Avatar> it wasn't very fair that he distracted us
22:34 <Spaceshot> there was a Wyrm?
22:39 <Spaceshot> on when he took off
22:40 <Avatar> hashish
22:40 <Spaceshot> gotcha
22:57 <Spaceshot> helps to have knowledge skill
23:05 <Spaceshot> or not being lawful and taking cash
23:08 <Avatar> I didn't feel it was fair for me to prompt you guys about it
23:10 <Ballig> the knowledge skill just tells you what the shrine is to
23:15 <Spaceshot> or being a faithful man and adding gold
23:36 <Ballig> taking from the shrine gives you a penalty to saving throws until the end of the scenario
23:53 <Spaceshot> lawful athiest monk doesn't care to give nor take from shrines
23:54 <Avatar> significant, in a scenario where you need saves
24:10 <Spaceshot> I'm guessing giving would give something
24:14 <Ballig> Mekkis would strongly advise you not to be atheist
24:22 <Avatar> all my characters are athetist
24:23 <Ballig> giving at least 1 gold gives you a boon
24:28 <Avatar> except cleric, who can't be
24:28 <Spaceshot> what boon?
24:39 <Ballig> it's +1 luck bonus to any saving throw vs. a dragon's breath
24:42 <Ballig> can be used 3 times
24:46 <Avatar> not a great boon anyway
24:48 <Spaceshot> that's ok
24:48 <Ballig> you find those boons in random scenarios, they seem useless
24:56 <Spaceshot> they'll be useful
24:56 <Avatar> there are better ones that are permanent
24:59 <Spaceshot> you don't lose them
25:03 <Ballig> I've gotten one for killing a creature that I didn't need to kill
25:06 <Spaceshot> I bet
25:07 <Ballig> and it was the hardest encounter in the scenario
25:16 <Avatar> lolll
25:24 <Spaceshot> but it's not within my character concept to try everything, take everything, look at and touch everything
25:29 <Ballig> and by "hardest encounter in the scenario" I mean that I charged it and didn't one-shot kill it
25:33 <Spaceshot> as a player looking to get everything sure
26:23 <Ballig> can you PM me your PFS number Spaceshot
26:32 <Spaceshot> I'll have to get one XD
26:34 <Spaceshot> or find it
26:35 <Spaceshot> either one
26:36 <Ballig> and how much gold you had at the start
26:44 <Spaceshot> is it the player number or character number?
26:49 <Ballig> both
26:55 <Ballig> so like 8888-1
26:57 <Spaceshot> gimme a sec
27:43 <Spaceshot> where do I go?
28:14 <Avatar> click on getting started on the ballig site
28:19 <Ballig> https://secure.paizo.com/pathfinderSociety/myAccount
29:13 <Spaceshot> hmm... guess I haven't joined
29:26 <Spaceshot> so thought I did
29:27 <Mekkis> which First Steps session?
29:28 <Spaceshot> ok I am
29:31 <Spaceshot> stupid site XD
29:40 <Spaceshot> player number #22973
29:53 <Spaceshot> registering my character now
29:58 <Spaceshot> hope that doesn't fuck anything up :P
30:03 <Ballig> it doesn't
30:11 <Ballig> as long as you get a PFS number/character number before I report it
30:18 <Spaceshot> mmk
30:22 <Mekkis> session number 13
30:26 <Spaceshot> character name is Thwang?
30:30 <Mekkis> Sat Dec 10, 2011?
30:33 <Avatar> yeah the 8888 bit is your account, the -1 is your character
30:36 <Ballig> if that's what you want to call him
31:12 <Spaceshot> do I need to put any of the additional info in?
31:47 <Ballig> nope
31:56 <Ballig> did you choose a faciton
32:02 <Spaceshot> Osirion
32:06 <Spaceshot> XD
32:18 <Spaceshot> doubt it's that secret :P
32:20 <Ballig> PM all that to me, along with how much gold you had at the start of the scneario
32:37 <Avatar> can't believe wyrm just left
32:40 <Avatar> over nothing
32:43 <Avatar> first steps 1, to Toro
32:46 <Spaceshot> 22973-1 Thwang
32:57 <Avatar> 22871-5 Cheliax
32:58 <Spaceshot> my starting cash was 20g 1c
33:11 <Mekkis> ah
33:12 <Spaceshot> oh, and I'm down to 51 arrows XD
33:13 <Avatar> shades of ice 1 to Cairo, 22871-2, Osirion
33:34 <Mekkis> it's assigned to that now
33:39 <Avatar> cheers
33:44 <Spaceshot> where should I put down what this character has played?
33:58 <Avatar> bottom of your char sheet has a spot
34:08 <Spaceshot> other information/biography?
34:14 <Avatar> modules completed
34:18 <Avatar> right down the bottom
34:24 <Spaceshot> not on mine
34:29 <Avatar> http://dnd.ballig.net/viewchar.php5?char=330
34:32 <Avatar> do a copy paste from there
34:38 <Spaceshot> must of gotten an old sheet
34:38 <Avatar> change appropriate details
34:46 <Avatar> maybe you got the pathfinder one instead of the pathfinder society one
35:05 <Avatar> that was fun
35:13 <Spaceshot> or maybe you updated your sheet within the last year
35:20 <Spaceshot> this is an old sheet I downloaded before
35:23 <Avatar> yeah :P
35:33 <Ballig> has anyone got a day job
35:37 <Spaceshot> yep
35:39 <Spaceshot> woodcutter
35:43 <Ballig> oh wait, Spaceshot Avatar and Brunius are unemployed
35:45 <Ballig> hahahaha!
35:49 <Ballig> okay roll it
35:54 <Spaceshot> COCK
35:56 <Spaceshot> FUCK OFF
35:59 <Spaceshot> :P
36:00 <Ballig> hohohoho
36:03 <Ballig> roll your woodcutter
36:14 <Spaceshot> !throw 1d20+7 woodcutter day job
36:14 <diebot> Spaceshot, woodcutter day job: [1d20=16] 23
36:18 <Ballig> good deal
36:18 <Spaceshot> sweet
36:20 <Spaceshot> 20?
36:22 <Ballig> free 20 gold
36:48 <Ballig> did you have a day job Avatar
37:02 <Spaceshot> your ninja should be tengu
38:00 <Ballig> yeah he has craft alchemy
38:04 <Ballig> Avatar: did you want to roll it
38:58 <Avatar> no
38:58 <Avatar> sec
39:15 <Ballig> really? you don't want to roll your day job?
39:37 <Avatar> !throw 1d20+3 day jobb
39:38 <diebot> Avatar, day jobb: [1d20=18] 21
39:42 <Avatar> :o)
39:49 <Avatar> imagine if you rolled it
39:55 <Avatar> try roll it lets see what you would have gotten
39:56 <Ballig> haha
40:05 <Ballig> was that a winter blanket you got
40:07 <Ballig> for 5 silver
40:10 <Avatar> yeah
40:12 Spaceshot_tm2_ has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
40:19 <Avatar> I have an 18 str so weight shouldn't be an issue
40:33 <Avatar> er, 16 str
41:00 <Ballig> you're such a big spender
41:02 <Ballig> spending 0.75 gold
42:35 <Avatar> I just wanted to get rid of the change you forced me to have
43:17 <Ballig> I know
43:17 <Ballig> :p
43:31 <Avatar> the blanket probably would've saved me from falling unconscious
43:34 <Ballig> what do you do when you sell things and end up with uneven gold? do you just shave it off?
43:38 <Avatar> that's actually pretty risk-free isn't it
43:47 <Ballig> yeah I still think that mountain encounter is tough
43:56 <Avatar> if you sell stuff that's different, you have no choice
44:04 <Ballig> even with the +5 from cold weather outfit, +4 from the caravan, and potentially +5 from someone with a survival skill
44:07 <Avatar> here I said I'll pay more than my buddies to keep it clean
44:12 <Avatar> yeah but
44:14 <Avatar> you can't die from it
44:20 <Ballig> nope
44:21 <Avatar> and you just wake up before the next one anyway if you fall unconscious
44:27 <Ballig> and really, nothing happens for a full day anyway
44:32 <Ballig> but
44:35 <Ballig> if everyone went unconscious
44:42 <Avatar> yeah then you'd be stuck there for a bit longer
44:46 <Ballig> although even then, it's only 4 hours of saves
44:53 <Ballig> out of 24 hours in the day
45:07 <Avatar> how do you freeze to death if the worst that happens is you take nonlethal damage
45:18 <Ballig> I guess it's a non-lethal way to teach you about severe weather
45:23 <Ballig> well
45:31 <Ballig> I don't think you can freeze to death because you only have to take saves for 4 hours
45:41 <Ballig> three people /did/ freeze to death, but it was in the cold season
45:47 <Ballig> when they probably had to make saves every hour of the day
45:55 <Avatar> and take lethal damage?
45:58 <Avatar> should look that up
46:04 <Ballig> I think you eventually start taking lethal damage
46:25 <Ballig> even the river seemed dangerous to us at first, but apparently if you are swept off the map the water is then slow enough that you can walk out
46:31 <Ballig> and it just does non-lethal damage
46:38 <Ballig> and again there's another day between that and anything attacking you
46:53 <Spaceshot> yea but you have to remember, first steps is to get you into PFS
47:02 <Spaceshot> not fuck you over so you don't want to PFS ever again
47:02 <Avatar> SORD has nothing about cold weather
47:16 <Avatar> yeah but I'm trying to think if it's different in other scenarios
47:42 <Spaceshot> probably more brutal
47:54 <Ballig> yeah
47:57 <Ballig> they're encounters that seem really lethal to you at the time
48:04 <Ballig> but afterwards you really were practice encounters
48:09 <Ballig> they're pretty well done
48:13 <Ballig> really/realise
48:21 <Avatar> under cold dangers in the core rulebook p436ish

52:47 Topic for #d&d set by Avatar at Thu Dec 29 19:39:11 2011
52:47 <***> Buffer Playback...
52:47 <***> Playback Complete.
52:51 <Ballig> From humble beginnings as loggers and merchants, the Andorens proved themselves survivors on a hard frontier. 
53:06 <Avatar> how about that
53:56 <Avatar> 18 str, woo!
54:03 <Ballig> ha
54:08 <Avatar> now I can fill my backpack with mundane shit like I used to
54:11 <Ballig> did you have 9 strength
54:15 <Avatar> yeah
54:23 <Ballig> what are you doing with that extra strength
54:24 <Ballig> I have 7
54:36 <Avatar> I was obviously worried about the first few levels
54:37 <Ballig> I'm weak as a kitten
54:40 <tristen> hey i don't get to keep that mage hand amulet do i?
54:44 <Ballig> no
54:46 <Avatar> no, you've got to buy it now
54:48 <Ballig> you don't keep anything you find in the scenario
54:50 <Avatar> 900gp is good though !
54:55 <Ballig> it's not worth 900 gold
54:55 <Ballig> :po
55:04 <Avatar> don't know about that
55:12 <Avatar> I did 6d6 damage with mage hand yesterday
55:17 <Avatar> pretty good for a cantrip
55:22 <tristen> no i don't suppose it is - i have a longsword to fall back to
55:28 <tristen> yeah there is the lava thing
55:29 <Ballig> against someone at < 0hp that you could coup de grace anyway
55:38 <Ballig> and it was worth 900 gold in 3.5 when cantrips weren't at-will
55:46 <Avatar> yeah but there was risk in that
55:47 <tristen> can i think about it and buy it anytime?
55:53 <Avatar> yeah
56:00 <Ballig> yeah
56:01 <tristen> cool
56:11 <Avatar> that's sort of the big reason you keep the chronicle sheets
56:14 <tristen> hey speaking of ze golds
56:17 <Avatar> it adds to your list of always available items
56:24 <tristen> i have no idea how poor i am?
56:26 <Ballig> I can't tell you how much gold you have until you've audited your sheets
56:32 <Ballig> did you get them all
56:40 <tristen> no just the goblins one
56:48 <Ballig> did you get the one for first steps 3 from Mekkis
56:51 <Avatar> 150+howevery much gold you got for each scenario-anything you spent
56:52 <Ballig> and didn't we give you the link to first steps 1
56:59 <Ballig> Avatar: he really has to audit his chronicle sheets
57:05 <Ballig> he can't just make an educated guess
57:10 <Avatar> yeah of course
57:11 <Ballig> I'm not willing to give him the one from yesterday until I have proper numbers
57:21 <Avatar> is thelen in the same boat
57:27 <Ballig> not as far as I'm aware
57:31 <Ballig> unless the number he gave me was a guess
57:40 <tristen> yeah, i've looked in my downloads and i don't think i received em
57:46 <tristen> and my home folder
57:49 <Ballig> tristen: we gave you the link to one
57:52 <Avatar> it said file sent when I send them
57:59 <Ballig> [8:07:05 PM] <@Avatar> http://dnd.ballig.net/chronicles/generated/215/35604-1.pdf
57:59 <Ballig> [8:07:11 PM] <@Avatar> that's the one from yesterday
57:59 <Ballig> [8:07:39 PM] <@Ballig> http://dnd.ballig.net/chronicles/generated/300/35604-1.pdf
58:00 <Ballig> that's two of them
58:06 <tristen> ah!
58:07 <Avatar> yeah some of them were just links
58:08 <tristen> wait
58:14 <Avatar> some were sent over skype
58:29 <Ballig> pretty sure the only one you should be missing is first steps 3
59:05 <Avatar> my heaviest load just became my light load limit lollllllll
59:18 <Ballig> my heavy load is like 230 pounds
59:20 <Ballig> it's ridiculous
59:36 <Ballig> also what's ridiculous: how sexy my character sheet looks
59:53 <Avatar> it does look pretty damn nice now
00:16 <Ballig> we can make up a template that uses some of these code without the ones that impair visibility
00:21 <tristen> ok so i have three chronicle sheets now
00:27 <tristen> i need the one from mekkis?
00:30 <Ballig> which ones do you have

04:34 <tristen> first steps part 3
04:38 <tristen> we be goblins
04:46 <tristen> shades of ice: part 1
05:01 <tristen> the citadel of shite
05:05 <Ballig> ha
05:06 <Ballig> so those 5?
05:10 <tristen> lol yeah
05:14 <Ballig> how much prestige?
05:20 <tristen> 9 all up now
05:26 <tristen> musta bagged 2 last night
05:26 <Ballig> all right, that gives me two of the numbers I need
05:48 <tristen> soz to be teh nubes
05:59 <Ballig> you realise Tasiv sh ould have been level 2 yesterday right
06:07 <tristen> yeah he was/is
06:12 <Ballig> his sheet says level 1
06:32 <tristen> oh but everything else is level 2
06:36 <tristen> i'll re-upload
06:40 <tristen> un momento
06:50 <Ballig> put exp on too
06:53 <Ballig> you have 5 exp now
07:00 <Ballig> (which means you level up after your next scenario)
07:27 <tristen> http://dnd.ballig.net/viewchar.php5?char=328
07:34 <tristen> oh ok one sec...
08:17 <Avatar> Ballig: you really thought the scroll thing through
08:40 <tristen> k
08:57 <Ballig> Avatar: it's a wizard/sorcerer's biggest strength
09:15 <tristen> is it true i get 7 skill points per level?
09:25 <tristen> 6 for class 1 for human
09:33 <tristen> it seems like a shitload
09:58 <Ballig> yeah that's right
10:07 <Ballig> rangers and rogues are good with skill points
10:26 <tristen> cool - next level ima gonna whack all 7 into perception so i get +13
10:36 <Ballig> ha
10:47 <Ballig> you can't have more ranks in a skill than you have hit dice (or levels, in most cases)
10:51 <Ballig> so you can't have more than 2 ranks in a skill at level 2
11:02 <tristen> ah! makes perfect sense
11:07 <tristen> yep ok
11:25 <tristen> that's the limiter - there needs to be
11:29 <Ballig> yeah
11:44 <Ballig> can you send me your We Be Goblins sheet
11:55 <tristen> i've got 4 and 4 on stealth /survival
11:59 <tristen> i have to juggle 
12:07 <tristen> yep one sec
12:54 <Ballig> port forwarding isn't working both ways? :p
13:05 <tristen> ok one sec
13:26 <Mekkis> moin
13:31 <Ballig> moi
14:51 <tristen> http://www.journeyo.com/dnd/WBG-Tasiv-20111222.pdf
14:54 <tristen> try that
18:27 <Ballig> sup jerks
19:42 <***> Buffer Playback...
19:42 <***> Playback Complete.
19:51 <Mekkis> I'll see
20:10 <Avatar> and 2nd level ones are 40gp?
20:15 <Ballig> yeah
20:19 <Ballig> 150gp for the scroll, 40gp to scribe it
20:32 <Mekkis> you should adventure with Mytiazair
21:05 <Ballig> can't we just go to the pub with him
21:12 <Ballig> and then oh hey, can I use your spellbook for a few days, thanks man
21:40 <Mekkis> you mean, about half a year
21:58 <Ballig> it's an hour per level right
22:21 <Ballig> my wizard is only level 3, surely there isn't half a year worth of levels 1 and 2 spells
22:38 <Mekkis> you can scribe higher level spells....
22:51 <Ballig> isn't the DC intense
23:13 <Mekkis> depends on your spellcraft
25:33 <Ballig> right now I get a 21 if I take 10
25:49 <Ballig> I guess I can scribe up to 6th level spells
25:50 <Avatar> what kind of fortitude saves do objects usually have
26:04 <Ballig> their wielder has saves
26:17 <Mekkis> anything starting today?
26:21 <Avatar> the description for break says fortitude negates (object)
26:24 <Ballig> Brunius is meant to be running a game
26:30 <Ballig> Avatar: yeah, the wielder gets the save
26:32 <Avatar> yeah I will sms brunius I guess
26:42 <Ballig> and magic items have saves
27:25 <Mekkis> tristen, you around?
27:31 <Ballig> he was
27:42 <Ballig> if you have his sheet, just paste the link here
27:45 <Ballig> I need it to do an audit
27:50 <Mekkis> do you have his PFS number?
28:03 <Ballig> 35604-1
28:23 <Mekkis> faction?
28:45 <Ballig> Andoran
29:39 <Ballig> I can fill out the prestige/gold info in my audit if you just want to put in the other stuff
30:45 <tristen> yep
31:43 <Brunius> I'm here
31:51 <Brunius> The game was supposed to start 10:30
31:56 <Ballig> the topic says 10
32:03 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/FirstSteps3_Tristen.pdf
32:03 <Ballig> the topic never lies
32:05 <Brunius> Topic is wrong, Avatar probably screwed it
32:18 <tristen> cheers mekks
32:19 <Avatar> you didn't say 10.30
32:24 <Brunius> Yes I did.
32:28 <Avatar> when
32:34 <Brunius> When we were organising today
32:37 <Brunius> derp
32:40 <Brunius> So, who's around?
32:47 <Avatar> last I remember, mekkis said 9am his time
33:00 <Avatar> mekkis, ballig, tristen, me
33:03 <Avatar> is thelen around
33:10 <tristen> hmmm not on skype
33:20 <Avatar> zzz
33:23 <Avatar> is he going to miss yet another game
33:29 <Ballig> zzz
33:34 <tristen> he's only on one hp so he's probably sleeping
33:41 <Avatar> yeah that makes sense I guess
33:43 <Ballig> ha
33:48 <Ballig> would he want to be claled
33:49 <Ballig> I'm not sure where to spend my wizard's feat
33:50 <Ballig> called
33:51 <Ballig> so many options
34:05 <tristen> i'll try 7 times
34:06 <Avatar> if you're calling him maybe try just once
34:08 <tristen> one sec
34:46 <Ballig> unless he wants to be called 7 times
34:49 <Ballig> like Avatar has said in the past
35:14 <tristen> yes 7 is the new 1
35:34 <Avatar> haha
35:38 <tristen> straight to vm
35:40 <Brunius> Hahah nah
35:45 <tristen> phone's off
35:55 <tristen> so it looks like he's healing
35:55 <Avatar> fair enough
36:00 <Avatar> just us then
36:14 <Avatar> maybe we should check if spaceshot wants to play and have us sub him
36:14 <tristen> 4 is good
36:24 <Ballig> tristen: how much gold did you have at first level, do you know
36:38 <Avatar> toughness
36:47 <tristen> no i didn't roll it or anything
36:50 <Ballig> that's not really one of the options
36:52 <tristen> but i can now if you want
36:53 <Ballig> you start with 150
36:56 <tristen> okee
37:01 <Ballig> what did you spend it on though
37:24 <Avatar> what options have you got
37:37 <tristen> did i have to pay for weaponry/armour or did i just have it?
37:53 <Ballig> you have to pay for it
37:55 <Ballig> that's what the 150 gold is for
37:58 <tristen> ok
37:59 <Ballig> I can get Light Armour Proficiency so that at level 5 when I get another feat I can get Arcane Armour Proficiency, then buy a mithral chainmail which will give me 0% arcane spell failure and minimum +4 AC (assuming non-magical)
38:10 <tristen> yep then the longbow the longsword and leather armour
38:11 <Ballig> started with a longsword, longbow, leather armour?
38:16 <tristen> yep
38:47 <Ballig> or I can get Point Blank Shot which will give me +1 to attack with ranged spells, and let me take Precise Shot at level 5
39:05 <tristen> leather 10gp?
39:19 <Ballig> or I can get Metamagic: Extend Spell which I would use on Daze, prepared in a level 1 spell slot but dazing the person for 2 rounds instead of 1
39:46 <Avatar> man I think you've thought this out a lot better than I ever would
39:48 <tristen> lsword 15gp?
40:03 <Brunius> That'll fit in easily
40:09 <tristen> lbow 75gp
40:13 <Ballig> er, I said mithral chainmail but I meant mithral chain shirt
40:24 <Avatar> how on earth did you spend 1000gp on scrolls, I bought a bunch and it ended up 375gp
40:29 <Avatar> is there a difference
40:36 <Ballig> yeah chainmail is medium armour and chain shirt is light
40:54 <Mekkis> fireball fireball haste
40:56 <Ballig> mithral chainmail would still be a 10% arcane spell failure
40:59 <Avatar> the level 2 ones are super expensive I guess
41:49 <Ballig> there's thelen
41:55 <tristen> thelen's online HE'S ALIVE, ALIVE!!!
42:05 <Ballig> I spent over 1k gold on scrolls
42:13 <tristen> he must be on 2hp by now
42:29 <Avatar> how many colour sprays
42:29 <Ballig> 0
42:40 <Avatar> you spent 1k on gold and didn't get colour spray
42:45 <Ballig> yeah
42:45 <Avatar> on scrolls*
42:57 <Ballig> I scribed 3 level 2 spells
42:58 <Avatar> I might spend 1k on colour spray
43:00 <Brunius> Probably just staggered
43:05 <Ballig> that's almost 600 gold right there
43:10 <Avatar> what do you mean you scribed them
43:22 <Ballig> I bought the scrolls for 150g each and paid 40g each to put them in my spellbook
43:23 <Avatar> I might buy a lute for perform checks now that I can carry one
43:24 <Avatar> into your spellbook
44:00 <Ballig> then I bought 3 level 2 scrolls that I didn't scribe (another 350g)
44:10 <tristen> hola!
44:13 <Ballig> sup tristen
44:17 <Avatar> aloha
44:20 <Ballig> and then I bought some level 1 scrolls
44:24 <Ballig> (none of them colour spray though)
44:50 <Ballig> decided to carry a scroll of enlarge person, it's becoming too situational to prepare
45:05 <Avatar> I'm inclined to agree
45:18 <Ballig> tristen: 2336.89 gold before you bought your composite longbow
45:42 <Ballig> is your longsword masterwork?
45:45 <Ballig> also got a scroll of reduce person, just in case
45:47 <tristen> no
45:51 <Ballig> reducing a spellcaster can actually be helpful
45:58 <Ballig> have you bought anything else?
46:06 <tristen> just crappy stuff
46:11 <tristen> waterskin yesterday
46:16 <tristen> oh and the clw wand
46:26 <Ballig> yeah the clw wand costs prestige
46:34 <Ballig> and the longbow was composite (+2) right?
46:37 <tristen> yes
46:43 <Avatar> hm should buy those muleback cords as a priority
46:48 <Ballig> yeah I had to buy them too
46:53 <Avatar> how much are they
46:54 <tristen> well +2 from my strength yeah
46:57 <Ballig> my medium load was at like >= 28
46:58 <Ballig> they're 1000
47:14 <Ballig> I had 30 pounds of stuff on me, which was making me at medium
47:14 <tristen> not just +2
47:15 <Avatar> I might buy a weapon
47:17 <Ballig> even with my masterwork backpack
47:24 <Mekkis> oh no
47:25 <Avatar> now that I can carry one
47:40 <tristen> oh btw thelen can't play right now
47:41 <Avatar> yeah the masterwork pack helps, but not a lot
47:47 <Avatar> which is fine for 50gp
47:50 <Ballig> yeah
47:50 <tristen> but he's said put in an npc
47:59 <Avatar> yeah we'll just sub him and he'll soak up the exp
48:00 <tristen> and he can take over it maybe later?
48:27 <Avatar> how long is he going to be gone for
48:37 <tristen> "a couple of hours"
48:52 <tristen> he's got some work to do
48:53 <tristen> how's that? i disconnected at 9:43 last night and reconnected at 9:43 this morning
48:53 <Avatar> erm, was there always a shoulder slot
49:01 <Ballig> there must be
49:03 <Ballig> I put it on my arms
49:04 <Avatar> it's a sign!
49:10 <Avatar> it's dodgy
49:14 <Avatar> a couple of hours could be half a scenario
49:16 <Ballig> a sign that you should play some sweet PFS today!
49:20 <tristen> a good sign i hope 
49:20 <Avatar> arms are for umm
49:22 <Avatar> armbands
49:22 <Ballig> did Brunius confirm running a game this morning
49:26 <Avatar> yeah he did
49:32 <tristen> yep that'll do!
49:34 <tristen> yeah - i think he just wanted to join in perhaps, maybe
49:36 <Avatar> I'd probably say no if it were me
49:36 <Ballig> yeah he can't just not play for a couple of hours
49:38 <Ballig> think we can do first steps 3 in 12 minutes?
49:46 <tristen> i don't think he's fussed about the xp
49:46 <Ballig> we can't put in an NPC if we have more than 3 players
49:47 <Avatar> if it was like half an hour it'd be okay
49:49 <Avatar> probably !
49:50 <Ballig> like finish it in under 12 minutes
49:50 <tristen> therefore the npc
49:54 <Mekkis> tristen, what level is Tasiv?
49:56 <Avatar> if we metagame it
50:00 <Ballig> haha
50:01 <Ballig> it's not a legal table if there's more than 3 players
50:01 <tristen> level 2
50:05 <Avatar> Ballig: yeah but it would be his character
50:10 <Ballig> haha
50:13 <Ballig> just pretend it's an NPC, right?
50:17 <Ballig> so I hope yesterday's game taught Thelen that you can't always be a hero in combat :o
50:17 <Ballig> while he plays computer games
50:25 <Avatar> can we actually replay it if nobody gets proper credit for it
50:29 <Avatar> if he gets here early enough he can just jump in
50:30 <Mekkis> ok
50:31 <Brunius> seems legit
50:36 <Mekkis> so we can NPC his character
50:38 <Mekkis> and get it killed
50:39 <Ballig> you always get credit for first steps 3
50:40 <Mekkis> and laugh
50:43 <Avatar> yeah
50:43 <Mekkis> and laugh
50:44 <Mekkis> and laugh
50:48 <Ballig> Avatar: isn't we be goblins 1 PA
50:53 <Avatar> yeah it is
50:55 <Avatar> yeah but does someone else have to get credit the legit way for that to happen
51:03 <Ballig> I don't think it differentiates
51:04 <Ballig> I'll change that on Tasiv's sheet
51:13 <Avatar> seems like a loophole
51:35 <Avatar> what's something hevay I can carry
51:59 <Avatar> what character are you using
52:31 <Ballig> probably my wizard
52:42 <Ballig> oh, apparently you aren't Andoran from Andoran
52:47 <Ballig> you're Andoren from Andoran
52:55 <Avatar> what
53:08 <Ballig> yeah, I saw it spelled that way yesterday in one of the books and thought it was a typo
53:13 <Ballig> but I just saw it again on the faction t-shirt description
57:17 <***> Buffer Playback...
57:17 <***> Playback Complete.
57:19 <Ballig> haha
57:25 <Ballig> we could do 3, 4, 2, 5?
57:35 <Avatar> oh yeah
57:43 <Mekkis> Avatar, I have Deceased
57:44 tristen has quit (Connection closed)
57:46 <Brunius> That's an APL of 3.5
57:50 <Avatar> what class is decesased
57:51 <Mekkis> why?
57:53 <Ballig> if we do Samsuhn, Cairo, Tasiv, Grolschmir
57:55 <Mekkis> Diviner
58:01 <Avatar> another wizard
58:02 <Ballig> is Grolschmir level 5
58:09 tristen ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
58:12 <Mekkis> Grolshmir's not playing
58:17 <Ballig> ah
58:19 <Brunius> Sup tristen
58:20 <Avatar> saving for shades of ice 3
58:22 <Ballig> tristen: did your IRC client get upset at the send
58:30 <tristen> yeah - strange though
58:35 <tristen> it worked last night
58:42 <Avatar> I guess Cairo could tank
58:50 <Brunius> try /dccallow +Ballig 9999
59:01 <Avatar> what kind of AC does tristen have
59:02 <Ballig> they got rid of that
59:06 <Ballig> tristen: sending it on Skype
59:11 <tristen> 16
59:15 <Ballig> I /think/ those chronicle sheets are up to date and correct
59:27 <Avatar> is Decesased another overpowered character
59:28 <Avatar> maybe he can tank
59:33 <Brunius> Did they? I haven't updated mIRC in a while
59:46 <Ballig> you have 5xp, 7/9 prestige, and 1836.89 gold
59:53 <Ballig> Brunius: that was an austnet thing, not a mirc thing
00:03 <Brunius> Ah
00:10 <Mekkis> Avatar, no
00:12 <Mekkis> he isn't
00:13 <Avatar> or, hello, Bobbob could tank
00:25 <Ballig> I could play Bobbob if we're uptiering
00:30 <Brunius> Why don't you play Buck, Avatar?
00:36 <Avatar> we'd need a healer
00:39 <Mekkis> I could play Nightmare
00:45 <Mekkis> ok
00:46 <Ballig> what level is nmare
00:47 <Mekkis> oh
00:47 <Avatar> I guess Tasiv could heal
00:52 <Mekkis> Deceased is a healer :)
01:02 <Ballig> I don't think you should rely on a cure light wounds wand on an uptiered scenario
01:11 <tristen> yeah i can heal
01:18 <Avatar> people rely on them all the time in uptiered scenarios don't they
01:27 <Ballig> not when half the party is lower than the subtier
01:44 <Avatar> pretty sure they do even then
01:49 <Ballig> seems like a stupid risk
02:01 <Avatar> what do you guys recommend
02:02 <Ballig> I'm happy to play Bobbob if the scenario is a 4-5
02:23 <Avatar> Buck will do damage, Cairo won't
03:30 <Mekkis> I might need to finish levelling Deceased
03:44 <Avatar> how long do you need for that
04:01 <Ballig> are you playing Deceased
04:02 <Ballig> is he the diviner
04:06 <Avatar> yes
04:13 <Ballig> when you say you can "heal", are you talking about that one deity-related spell
04:19 <Ballig> that gives some kind of low heal-over-time
04:39 <Ballig> I don't think you should mislead people into thinking you will actually be able to provide a real healing service
05:03 <Avatar> what is the deity related spell
05:14 <Ballig> it's something cheliax wizards can get if they worship asmodeus I think it is
05:33 <Ballig> it heals 1 point of damage per round for 5 rounds or something like that
05:40 <Avatar> oh cmon
06:02 <Avatar> the alternative is we don't have to uptier
06:16 <Avatar> but 1200gp is a lot nicer than 500gp
06:31 <Avatar> especially for tristen
06:50 <Avatar> we have to make a decision pretty quickly on this
06:58 <Avatar> 5 minutes has expired
07:27 <Ballig> Cairo (4), Bobbob (4), Deceased (?), Tasiv (2)?
07:29 <Avatar> Tasiv, Cairo, Bobbob, Decesaesd is probably solid
07:46 <Avatar> like we really can't go wrong there
09:05 <Ballig> oh apparently I have 16 PA, not 15 like I thought
09:14 <Avatar> enough to res yourself
09:22 <Ballig> but I should get a wand of CLW, surely
09:46 <Avatar> do you have the money for it now
09:52 <Ballig> nope
10:02 <Ballig> I spent 5k gold after last scenario
10:22 <Avatar> so we're just waiting on mekkis to level up 
10:46 <Avatar> mekkis i'm surprised you don't have a cleric
10:56 <Brunius> tristen: Are you happy with this uptiering arrangement?
11:02 <Avatar> how do you end up with 6 characters and no healing class
11:19 <Avatar> I guess Grolschmir might count
12:42 <tristen> you mean me being level 2 and mixing with l;evel 4s?
12:48 <Avatar> yeah
12:57 <Avatar> the mobs will be harder
13:01 <tristen> yeah no wuckers
13:04 <tristen> i'm ranged
13:11 <tristen> so i can hang back a bit
13:37 <Brunius> *creepy DM smile*
13:39 <Ballig> they might be ranged too
13:41 <Ballig> or spellcasters
14:33 <Avatar> yeah your safety isn't exactly guaranteed because you're ranged
14:55 <Avatar> I find ranged characters feel nerfed a bit in PFS with the set maps
14:58 <Ballig> or you might get jumped from behind, or above
14:59 <Ballig> etc
15:01 <Avatar> because you can't really take the distance you'd like
15:13 <Ballig> yeah, chargers are too
15:13 <Ballig> :p
15:17 <Avatar> technically you can, but to get a 100ft distance is tough
15:48 <tristen> yeah still no worries
15:59 <tristen> i mean if i were a fighter and had to wade in...
16:00 <Avatar> briar henge was sort of an exception to that
16:41 <tristen> heya mekk-man
17:12 <Avatar> cmon mekkis how far off are you
17:32 <Avatar> hmmm how do restricted schools work with scrolls
17:41 <Ballig> Mekkis: do you have Tasiv's First Steps 3 chronicle sheet on your webserver?
19:42 <Ballig> Avatar: it doesn't seem to, I don't think
19:50 <Avatar> how much is it to scribe a 1st level spell into your spellbook
20:00 <Ballig> 10gp
20:11 <Ballig> 25gp for the scroll, 10gp to scribe it
20:45 <Mekkis> nearly there
22:19 <tristen> hey, er, question?
22:25 <Ballig> hm?
22:30 <tristen> ranged attacks into melee
22:33 <Ballig> right
22:38 <tristen> -4 to hit?
22:42 <Ballig> yes
22:45 <Ballig> unless you have Precise Shot
22:47 <Avatar> you want the precise shot feat to get around that
22:53 <Avatar> pick that up when you hit level 3
23:03 <Mekkis> ok
23:05 <Mekkis> I have a sheet
23:10 <tristen> ok - yeah i haven't been applying it
23:13 <Ballig> er
23:15 <Ballig> what feats do you have
23:23 <tristen> point blank
23:40 <Mekkis> http://nl.ti4200.info/~mekkis/Charsheet.pdf
23:42 <tristen> +1 < 30ft
23:50 <Ballig> you're human
23:52 <Ballig> you should have a second feat
23:53 <Mekkis> I'll upload it onto the site momentarily
23:55 <Ballig> take Precise Shot
23:59 <tristen> k
24:20 <Ballig> you also took the archery combat style
24:22 <Ballig> doesn't that give you another feat
24:31 <Brunius> Fairly sure it does
24:36 <tristen> oh? ok
24:48 <Ballig>  Far 
24:48 <Ballig> Shot, Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, and Rapid Shot.
24:51 <Ballig> you get one of those for free
25:04 <tristen> ok so i'll add precise shot
25:08 <tristen> and one more?
25:12 <Ballig> right
25:32 <tristen> rapid shot sounds good
26:10 <tristen> When making a full-attack action with a ranged weapon, you can fire one additional time this round. All of your attack rolls take a –2 penalty when using Rapid Shot.
26:26 <Brunius> Done auditing each other's character sheets?
26:30 <Mekkis> I'd suggest against getting Far Shot
26:40 <tristen> ok so that means if i don't move or anything i get two attacks?
26:44 <Mekkis> yes
26:59 <tristen> sweet arrow-y goodness
27:04 <Mekkis> get deadeye or whatever it's called
27:12 <Mekkis> the "power-attack for bows" thing
27:24 <Ballig> what's the pre-req for it
27:48 <Ballig> what book is it in
28:16 <tristen> bullseye shot?
28:38 <Brunius> tristen, what's your skype?
28:43 <tristen> You can spend a move action to steady your shot. When you do, you gain a +4 bonus on the next ranged attack roll you make before the end of your turn.
28:45 <tristen> tristen_e
28:51 <Mekkis> nope
29:17 <Brunius> 200 matches found :S
29:30 <Mekkis> Deadly Aim
29:35 <Mekkis> Prerequisites: Dex 13, base attack bonus +1.
29:35 <Mekkis> Benefit: You can choose to take a –1 penalty on all ranged attack rolls to gain a +2 bonus on all ranged damage rolls. When your base attack bonus reaches +4, and every +4 thereafter, the penalty increases by –1 and the bonus to damage increases by +2. You must choose to use this feat before making an attack roll and its effects last until your next turn. The bonus damage does not apply to touch attacks or effects that do not deal hit point dam
29:35 <Mekkis> age.
29:36 <Ballig> what book
29:42 <Mekkis> core, iirc
29:42 <Ballig> ahh
29:55 <Brunius> Yeah it is core
31:19 <tristen> ok so before we kick off:
31:32 <tristen> point-blank, precise-shot, deadly aim

32:20 <Deceased> please call me back again
32:21 <Deceased> :S
32:26 <Brunius> An autumn chill filled the Pathfinder Society’s chapter 
32:26 <Brunius> house in Almas as Venture-Captain Brackett briefed you. 
32:26 <Brunius> Normally brash and outgoing, the hatchet-faced veteran’s 
32:26 <Brunius> face instead wore an expression of guarded concern. “I 
32:26 <Brunius> need you to venture into the Aspodell Mountains between 
32:26 <Brunius> Cheliax and Andoran; a dwarven prospector there seeks a 
32:26 <Brunius> lost dwarven site and we want in on his expedition. The 
32:26 <Brunius> prospector’s name is Torvic and he’s obsessively searched 
32:26 <Brunius> for years, hoping to f ind the hidden galleries of his ancestor, 
32:26 <Brunius> the dwarven craftsman Barek Triongger.”
32:37 * ChanOP removes channel operator status from Deceased
33:10 <Deceased> Brackett, Brackett, Brackett... One day you'll learn...
33:34 <Brunius> At this point, the chapter’s librarian Wystorn Telfyr stepped 
33:34 <Brunius> forward and from a small wooden case, he produced several 
33:35 <Brunius> tattered scrolls and a gleaming, strangely phosphorescent 
33:35 <Brunius> pearl. “We recently acquired these from a man called 
33:35 <Brunius> Beggar. They describe the Gallery of Wonders built by Barek 
33:35 <Brunius> Triongger during the death throes of the dwarven Empire of 
33:35 <Brunius> Tar Khadurrm.”
34:01 <Deceased> "That can't be good..."
34:08 <Brunius> Picking up the strangely-glowing pearl, the librarian 
34:08 <Brunius> continued, “These pearls are only found in the deepest of 
34:09 <Brunius> the Darklands’ seas. While not especially valuable, a cache 
34:09 <Brunius> of these would be a rare f ind. Divinations revealed that 
34:09 <Brunius> Barek apparently used this one as a key. We could claim 
34:09 <Brunius> substantial favors from the dwarves of Emperor’s Peak 
34:09 <Brunius> should we discover what it’s a key for.”
34:17 <Deceased> "Responsible people get real insurance policies."
34:36 <Cairo> "A key for what?"
34:53 <Brunius> "We don't know. That's what we need you to find out"
34:55 <Brunius> Venture-Captain Brackett took over. “I’m wagering 
34:55 <Brunius> that Beggar stole these items, as the likelihood of 
34:55 <Brunius> a wandering vagabond possessing legally acquired 
34:55 <Brunius> dwarven heirlooms seems small. Looking through 
34:55 <Brunius> these documents and comparing them to  Pathfinder 
34:55 <Brunius> Chronicles on the mat ter, i t ’s clear that this Tor vic is onto 
34:55 <Brunius> something.” Brackett cocked a thumb toward Telfyr. 
34:55 <Brunius> “Our librarian was able to glean some information from 
34:56 <Brunius> Beggar about where he acquired these items and was 
34:56 <Brunius> also able to divine a likely location where the dwarf 
34:56 <Brunius> might be holed up. Find him and make an alliance with 
34:56 <Brunius> him; hopefully, he’ll want his pearl back and will show 
34:56 <Brunius> you the way to the Gallery of Wonders.”
36:02 <Brunius> That's the end of the wall of text
36:14 <Deceased> "Once in the Gallery of Wonders, what are we to do?"
36:25 <Deceased> "Explore, cooperate and report?"
37:27 <Brunius> "Essentially. Find the item it is a key for, and report back."
37:34 <Cairo> "What can you tell us about the Gallery of Wonders?"
37:51 <Bobbob> "Do you want the item it is a key for? Or do you just want to be told?"
37:55 <Brunius> PFS numbers and factions, please. PM.
38:51 <Brunius> "We know very little about the Gallery of Wonders. Find out what the pearl is intended to do, and report back."
39:39 <Deceased> "What standard of proof do you require?"
39:48 <Bobbob> "Does anyone kn ow anything about these mountains?"
40:03 <Tasiv> "all i know is that we need cold weather gear"
40:17 <Tasiv> "or endure elements"
40:29 <Deceased> "They were stolen from the Taldans years ago, by rebellious unionists"
40:32 <Brunius> You can make Appraise or K:Dungeoneering on the pearl, if you want
40:45 <Brunius> history or local on the Gallery of Wonders
40:52 <Bobbob> I will take 10 on Dungeoneering, total of 15
41:02 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+4 dungeoneering
41:03 <diebot> Cairo, dungeoneering: [1d20=9] 13
41:05 <Brunius> Nothing. You think it will sell for a fair bit
41:23 <Deceased> @Appraise
41:24 <diebot> Deceased, 1d20+5: [1d20=6] 11
41:27 <Deceased> what
41:29 <Deceased> I have +10
41:30 <Deceased> sorry
41:37 <Deceased> so 16
41:46 <Bobbob> does Deceased have knowledge geography
41:55 <Deceased> nope
41:58 <Brunius> You think the pearl is rather valuable
42:04 <Deceased> I take it
42:08 <Deceased> detect magic?
42:10 <Bobbob> and sell it
42:23 <Deceased> "Wait a minute..."
42:37 <Cairo> "How long do you think we may need to be up in the mountains?"
42:41 <Bobbob> I ask the librarian: "How far away is the likely location of the dwarf?"
42:53 <Brunius> Not very magical
43:05 <Deceased> "Are you saying that he just /Gave/ the society the pearl?"
43:14 <Brunius> Not magical at all
43:23 <Brunius> "Until you find the pearl"
43:26 <Brunius> Dammit
43:34 <Brunius> "Until you find the answers"
44:08 <Brunius> "We don't know where this dwarf is. That's up to you"
44:10 <Bobbob> "Why does the Society trust this "Beggar" to be on the level?"
44:19 <Bobbob> "Not to look a gift wolf in the mouth, but surely this seems suspicious."
45:08 <Brunius> "Beggar is likely to have stolen these items - as such, we, ah, persuaded him to tell us a little more"
45:39 <Deceased> "Ah... How un-Andoran of you."
46:48 <Bobbob> "How long until we get to this likely location of the dwarf?"
47:00 <Brunius> "Roughly a week"
47:08 <Bobbob> "Are the mountains cold?"
47:19 <Brunius> "No."
47:34 <Deceased> "Which direction from Almas is it?"
47:36 <Cairo> "How did the Society 'acquire' the pearl from Beggar?"
48:09 <Brunius> "We bought them off him."

52:43 <Avatar> a sledge hammer is 10lb
52:45 <tristen> dehydrated water - just add water
52:58 <Tasiv> hmmmm
53:06 <Avatar> or a miner's pick

13:15 <Tasiv> 0% for me
13:17 <Cairo> is this the convert png
13:19 <Cairo> converted*
13:27 <Bobbob> yeah if it's a huge file it will be sending to one person first
13:28 <Bobbob> then the next
13:37 <Brunius> Ah
13:40 <Tasiv> what's the file size?
13:52 <Bobbob> multiple mb
13:57 <Cairo> try convert it to jpg  
13:59 <Brunius> 2.79mb
14:01 <Brunius> :S
14:04 <Cairo> way too big
14:06 <Bobbob> yeah that's a huge file for a png
14:11 <Bobbob> did you put it at 0 compression
14:14 <Tasiv> post it
14:16 <Bobbob> or is the resolution actually massive
14:19 <Tasiv> and lemme have a go at it?
14:25 <Brunius> Res massive I think
15:41 <Tasiv> brunius: try grayscale?
15:47 <Tasiv> who cares if it's colour?
16:26 <Cairo> try jpg
16:27 <Cairo> \!
17:01 <Cairo> this isn't worth going through settings if converting to jpg will be an immediate fix

59:44 <Bobbob> "We were sent to help you with your expedition."
59:48 <Bobbob> "Looks like we got here just in time."
59:51 <Bobbob> "What's the deal with these ants?"
00:33 <Brunius> "They..a woman who whispered nightmares..."
00:39 <Deceased> "What race?"
00:44 <Brunius> "Who are these?"
00:45 <Bobbob> "Ah, looks like you have some arcane troubles."
01:19 <Brunius> "Ah, tall..."
01:24 <Brunius> He starts shivering
01:37 <Deceased> "Tall, long hair, enchanting smile"
01:49 <Bobbob> "Oh, I don't suppose you know anything about a glowing moss that grows in these mountains?"
01:50 <Deceased> "Likes carrying slightly blooded daggers?"
01:57 <Tasiv> how well/unwell does torvik look?
02:23 <Brunius> Scared
02:25 <Brunius> very very scared
02:29 * Cairo strokes his chin
02:35 <Cairo> "Reach high, for stars lie hidden in your soul. Dream deep, for every dream precedes the goal."
02:36 <Brunius> You can see he hasn't been sleeping well
02:51 <Bobbob> "How sage, Cairo. How sage."
02:56 <Bobbob> "But about that moss..."
02:59 <Tasiv> "never fear torvik - we're here to help"
03:03 <Tasiv> can i heal him?
03:38 <Brunius> "Oh, I am in your debt. Is there something I can help you with?"
03:38 <Deceased> "Tell me /everything/"
03:39 <Tasiv> anyone got booze?
03:50 <Bobbob> "You can find us some glowing moss."

05:10 <Tasiv> "how fares your expedition to unearth his gallery?"
05:16 <Brunius> Yeah meant to be a 2
05:17 <Brunius> :S
05:18 <Cairo> did we confirm this is Torvic
05:21 <Cairo> or did we assume 
05:26 <Tasiv> he confirmed
05:35 <Brunius> "Oh, I have been there. It is wonderful, just wonderful."
05:46 <Brunius> "The stonework is simply astounding"
05:49 <Bobbob> "Well, show us how to get there, and then give us some glowing moss."
05:52 <Brunius> He doesn't know anything about hte moss
05:54 <Brunius> the*
06:07 <Cairo> "You're a scholar, correct?"
06:15 <Brunius> "Oh, I shall accompany you to the Gallery, not simply show you there"
06:17 <Tasiv> "we are here to visit the gallery"
06:20 <Brunius> "I must go back in"
06:25 <Deceased> hmmm
06:27 <Deceased> sense motive
06:38 <Deceased> !throw 1d20-1 sense motive @Brunius
06:52 <Brunius> You think he's telling the truth
06:53 <Cairo> "Before we go, I must ask that you provide me with a text of dwarven lore."
07:00 <Deceased> "Indeed
07:06 <Cairo> this faction mission is pretty vague
07:13 <Deceased> yeah, it is
07:13 <Cairo> what kind of text am I supposedly after
07:20 <Brunius> "Oh, what is that?"
07:21 <Cairo> is that enough to get some random books
07:29 <Deceased> I hope so
07:37 <Brunius> It's a book of dwarven lore
07:38 <Tasiv> i have a faction mission with this guy too
07:44 <Cairo> but aren't all their books dwarven lore
07:47 <Tasiv> i'll ask him when you're done
08:04 <Bobbob> "Oh, do you know of any trade routes in this area?"
08:14 <Cairo> "Well, just some dwarven lore."
08:34 <Cairo> they are overrated if your characters can't die
08:37 <Brunius> "I do not know about the lore books I was carrying...I think I left them inside the gallery..."
08:59 <Cairo> "Oh, well then, to the gallery at once !!"
09:21 <Cairo> that's all mekkis and I have to do with this guy
09:26 <Brunius> "There is a trade route a short way that way", he says, pointing towards the cave's entrance "About a half day's walk"
09:30 <Tasiv> wait wait
09:38 <Brunius> Yes
09:47 <Brunius> No
09:58 <Tasiv> "is that aspodell pass?"
10:27 <Tasiv> "the trade route i mean"
10:31 <Brunius> "No, another one, slightly smaller..."
10:47 <Tasiv> "whereabouts is aspodell pass?"
11:04 <Brunius> "A half day that way" he points east
11:27 <Brunius> Man I need the ISWG
11:28 <Tasiv> "through this cave first? or back out north and then east?"
11:31 <Deceased> "Well, you said you'd accompany us?"
11:35 <Brunius> "Outside again"
11:41 <Brunius> "Yes, yes I must go back"
11:46 <Bobbob> "We should find our way to the gallery."
11:48 <Cairo> "We're going to the gallery before we go there."
12:02 <Tasiv> "ok, but i have further queries"
12:21 <Brunius> "Yes?"
12:54 <Tasiv> "Torvic: I have been asked to deliver some tablets of your ancestors to the clans of emperors peak"
13:04 <Tasiv> "i believe you have them in your possession"
13:06 * Deceased whispers to Cairo "Let's tie him up first. He could be a danger to himself."
13:11 <Brunius> "Oh, those. Yes, you can have them"
13:19 <Tasiv> *yoink
13:24 <Tasiv> "thank you good sir"
13:24 <Cairo> "He could not be" I whisper back
13:27 <Brunius> "Do you want them now or later?"
13:35 <Tasiv> "now if i may?"
13:36 <Deceased> "Then we untie him: no harm done."
13:45 <Brunius> He starts digging up his fire pit
13:53 <Cairo> "If you tied me up, there'd be harm done, believe me"
14:10 <Tasiv> lend a hand
14:15 <Deceased> "I know Some people enjoy that sort of thing. You never know..."
14:30 <Brunius> After a couple of minutes you're done
14:35 * Cairo shakes his head
14:36 <Brunius> He pulls the tablets out slowly
14:53 <Brunius> "If these are what you seek, then by all means, take them"
15:03 <Tasiv> "thank you sir"
15:08 <Tasiv> i'll take them
15:18 <Brunius> Are you Sure you want to do that?
15:24 <Tasiv> are they heavy?
15:27 <Brunius> 120lb
15:38 <Cairo> anyone got muleback cords
15:50 <Cairo> no?
15:57 <Brunius> Are you searching the mites?
16:01 <Bobbob> yeah
16:02 <Bobbob> lootz
16:04 <Cairo> hell yeah
16:10 <Tasiv> "where are the dwarves of the emporers peak?"
16:11 <Cairo> yeah
16:21 <Brunius> One of them has a pouch filled with uncut amethysts
16:25 <Tasiv> "ie: will we be coming back this way?"
16:31 <Brunius> The others have 250gp together
16:42 <Brunius> "Oh, yes. We will of course be back past here"
16:55 <Tasiv> "ok, then perhaps we should conceal them again"
17:13 <Cairo> we can still carry them with a heavier load
17:18 <Cairo> just drop them if combat starts
17:31 <Brunius> He places them carefully back in the fire pit and starts shovelling the dirt and ashes back in
17:33 <Cairo> is there 2 tablets
17:38 <Brunius> 3 slabs
17:44 <Cairo> 40lb each
17:58 <Tasiv> "where be the dwarven clans of emporers peak?"
18:06 <Deceased> "You're rather /inflexible/ aren't you, Cairo..."
18:09 <Cairo> what's your load limit tasiv
18:22 <Bobbob> !throw 1d20+1 perception to hear Deceased
18:22 <diebot> Bobbob, perception to hear Deceased: [1d20=17] 18
18:31 <Tasiv> str 14
18:36 <Brunius> "Oh, they are easily found. We will be back past here anyway, it will be no trouble if you want to retrieve these on the return journey"
18:50 <Tasiv> "ok then let's proceed without them"
18:51 <Bobbob> "We won't be doing that, Deceased."
18:54 <Tasiv> cover them back up
18:57 * Cairo strokes his chin, saying to Deceased
19:02 <Cairo> "A faith is a necessity to a man. Woe to him who believes in nothing."
19:08 <Brunius> The tablets are back in the pit
19:16 <Brunius> If you're done here we can move on
19:17 <Deceased> "I believe in things. The True power of Golarion"
19:17 <Tasiv> cool
19:24 <Bobbob> "To the gallery, then."
19:33 <Brunius> Act 2: The Gallery of Wonders
19:41 <Cairo> "You see what power is - holding someone else's fear in your hand and showing it to them!"
19:56 <Deceased> "Are you saying that that isn't power?"
20:01 <Brunius> "The journey will take many hours. We should rest here before we set out"
20:08 * Cairo turns away in disgust
20:13 <Deceased> "Very well then, Dwarf."
20:26 <Brunius> "But do not sleep. She will know."
20:41 <Bobbob> "Yes, of course she will."
20:48 <Bobbob> "When did you last sleep?"
21:01 <Tasiv> he'll need more healing?
21:12 <Cairo> "We need to go to the gallery, first."
21:14 <Brunius> "I do not know...it was many days ago"
21:24 <Bobbob> "Does the Woman speak to you, in your mind"
21:24 <Tasiv> "have you a weapon sir?"
21:26 <Bobbob> ?"
21:29 <Deceased> "One cannot truly Know power until you hold someone's fear, life, and soul in your hand."
21:42 <Deceased> brb
21:43 <Brunius> You can see he has a battleaxe
21:45 <Brunius> Pretty rusty
21:57 <Deceased> stupid support calls...
22:01 <Brunius> Ha
22:05 <Brunius> Tech on call, Deceased?
22:11 <Bobbob> does he respond to Bobbob
22:33 <Brunius> "No."
22:37 <Brunius> He starts shivering again
22:45 <Bobbob> "What does she say?"
22:46 <Tasiv> "you're handy with this axe of yours Torvic?"
22:47 <Bobbob> I can use diplomacy
22:52 <Bobbob> take 10 for a total of 17
23:04 <Brunius> What are you trying to do?
23:15 <Bobbob> trying to get him to tell me about the voice inside his head
23:29 <Brunius> "I know not what she says"
23:35 <Bobbob> "But she speaks?"
23:39 <Bobbob> "She whispers?"
23:39 <Brunius> He hasn't said anything about any voice in his head
24:02 <Brunius> "No. We cannot sleep. She will know"
24:09 <Bobbob> "Does she come to you in your dreams?"
24:11 <Brunius> He's saying the she with emphasis
24:23 <Brunius> "No. It is horrible..."
24:32 <Bobbob> "Your dreams are horrible? Or the whispers?"
24:34 <Bobbob> "What does she say?"
24:50 <Brunius> "The dreams...they are horrible..."
24:53 <Brunius> He won't say any more
24:56 <Bobbob> okay
25:01 <Bobbob> "For how long should we rest?"
25:03 <Brunius> Have some sith points
25:06 <Bobbob> ha
25:22 <Tasiv> anyone got "cure schitzo"?
25:34 <Brunius> "Not long, we must move quickly. But we should recover from our wounds first"
25:41 <Bobbob> "We are not wounded."
25:49 <Brunius> "My wounds, then"
25:54 <Cairo> I'm a healer
25:57 <Cairo> I say
25:59 <Brunius> Yeah, he's a little wounded
26:16 <Cairo> this guy is making us camp
26:18 <Cairo> should we camp instead
26:30 <Cairo> irrelevant
26:34 <Cairo> should we camp or should we heal him
26:40 <Brunius> He's not really fussed whether you move or not, but he wants to recover from his wounds first
26:49 <Bobbob> heal him
27:00 <Cairo> sure if you're happy to
27:02 <Tasiv> clw wand
27:19 <Tasiv> !throw 1d8+1 
27:19 <diebot> Tasiv, 1d8+1: [1d8=4] 5
27:22 <Cairo> if you'd prefer to shoot your bow instead of fire, chances are you're better off giving me your wand
27:27 <Cairo> instead of heal*
27:46 <Tasiv> hand clw wand to cairo
27:47 <Cairo> I've only been given Bobbob's wand so far
28:05 <Cairo> and Tasiv's, now
28:07 <Brunius> He's still wounded, but he looks a lot better
28:19 <Tasiv> one more?
28:26 <Brunius> If you want to

28:58 <Cairo> say it in either pm or in channel
29:13 <Cairo> "Are you okay now?"
29:21 <Cairo> "We should be able to keep moving."
29:28 <Tasiv> "yes let's move out"
29:31 <Brunius> "Oh, that is wonderful. We should move back to the Gallery"
29:44 <Cairo> "Agreed."
29:47 <Cairo> and we go
29:54 <Bobbob> we'l go
29:55 <Bobbob> I'll lead
29:59 <Tasiv> order of formation?
30:03 <Brunius> He leads you to a small mountain trail which turns into a ledge
30:06 <Cairo> he leads
30:07 <Tasiv> me last
30:17 <Cairo> then Bobbob, Deceased, Cairo, Tasiv
30:23 <Brunius> There's a lot of fungus around
30:30 <Brunius> Nope
30:32 <Cairo> I cast detect poison on it
30:35 <Brunius> Just standard fungus
30:39 <Cairo> ok
30:52 <Cairo> ok
30:55 <Cairo> I thought so too
30:59 <Cairo> that's all good
31:03 <Brunius> The wall is carved with designs
31:24 <Cairo> I take a closer look at the designs, making knowledge checks where appropriate
31:35 <Brunius> Do you speak dwarven?
31:35 <Cairo> I'm looking for information on a Legend
31:53 <Cairo> I don't, but I have linguistics
32:11 <Brunius> From the pictures, you think it's telling how awesome the guy that owns the Gallery is
32:30 <Cairo> Deceased has superior linguistics to me
32:32 <Brunius> Perception checks, Gentlemen
32:37 <Cairo> @see
32:37 <diebot> Cairo, perception: [1d20=10] 20
32:57 <Tasiv> @see

33:02 <Bobbob> @see
33:02 <diebot> Bobbob, Perception: [1d20=17] 18
33:16 <Brunius> Anyone rolling for Deceased"
33:17 <Brunius> ?
33:32 <Bobbob> !throw 1d20+8 perception deceased
33:32 <diebot> Bobbob, perception deceased: [1d20=14] 22
33:33 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+8 perception
33:33 <diebot> Cairo, perception: [1d20=4] 12
33:37 <Cairo> phew!
33:52 <Cairo> I think it looks superior man
33:55 <Cairo> I can read anything on it
33:59 <Brunius> You all notice there's a secret door
34:00 <Cairo> forget the latex text one
34:08 <Brunius> At P10
34:12 <Cairo> "Hey wait, what's this"
35:16 <Cairo> where is the dwarf leading us
35:18 <Bobbob> "Is this SECRET DOOR the entrance?"
35:20 <Cairo> this otherwise looks like a dead end?
35:22 <Brunius> This is it
35:23 <Bobbob> "It's not very SECRET."
35:29 <Brunius> "This is it..."
35:58 <Brunius> The wall is covered with runes
36:02 <Brunius> Anyone speak Dwarven?
36:05 <Brunius> Yeah
36:06 <Bobbob> nope
36:13 <Tasiv> " i think torvic can"
36:17 <Cairo> I don't speak dwarven
36:26 <Cairo> "can what?"
36:36 <Tasiv> "speak, er, dwarven"
36:44 <Cairo> "Of course he can, he's a dwarf."
36:45 <Bobbob> "What?"
36:48 <Bobbob> "Where did that come from?"
36:55 <Brunius> "What are you speaking of?"
36:56 <Bobbob> "Do you have an inner monologue going, Tasiv?"
37:57 <Tasiv> "torvic?"
38:01 <Brunius> "Yes?"
38:02 <Cairo> I'd say you couldn't, except that he's a dwarf
38:07 <Tasiv> "can you translate?"
38:10 <Cairo> this is talking
38:25 <Brunius> He translates the whole wall for you
38:35 <Brunius> You can tell that some of the words depress
38:54 <Bobbob> "Which words?"
39:01 <Bobbob> which words?
39:39 <Brunius> Torvic translates them as "glory", "found", "kings", "art" and "support"
40:11 <Tasiv> hmmm not very depressing words
40:16 <Tasiv> quite the opposite
40:21 <Bobbob> "How does this door open?"
40:28 <Brunius> "I cannot remember.."
40:36 <Brunius> He starts pulling parchment out of his pack
40:50 <Brunius> And reading it frantically
40:53 <Tasiv> "think man"
40:58 <Tasiv> "i mean dwarf"
41:06 <Cairo> "Found?"
41:06 <Brunius> I'm assuming you're all crowded in front of the wall trying to figure it out
41:14 <Cairo> yeah
41:23 <Cairo> I press Found
41:30 <Brunius> It gets pressed
41:42 <Brunius> It stays depressed for the moment
41:47 <Cairo> I press Support
42:00 <Cairo> guessing
42:28 <Tasiv> "any hints from that parchment?"
42:29 <Bobbob> Kings > Found > Glory
42:36 <Cairo> I press kings
42:39 <Bobbob> Kings > Support > Art?
42:52 <Brunius> Anyone that wants to look at the parchment can do so
42:57 <Cairo> what parchment
42:59 <Tasiv> sure
42:59 <Brunius> Perception check to do so
42:59 <Bobbob> I'll glance at it
43:02 <Bobbob> @see
43:02 <diebot> Bobbob, Perception: [1d20=13] 14
43:03 <Tasiv> @see
43:03 <diebot> Tasiv, Perception: [1d20=5] 11
43:10 <Cairo> ugh
43:12 <Cairo> @see
43:12 <diebot> Cairo, perception: [1d20=19] 29
43:36 <Brunius> Cairo sees that the correct combo is "The GLORY of KINGS is FOUND in the ART they SUPPORT"
43:53 <Cairo> I depress the buttons I pressed
43:57 <Cairo> and press the correct combination
44:04 <Brunius> Alright you reset it
44:10 <Brunius> Then press it correctly
44:14 <Brunius> The wall slides open
44:30 <Bobbob> "What dangers are inside?"
44:40 <Brunius> "I cannot remember. She is inside"
44:46 <Cairo> "To the gallery."
44:49 <Cairo> we move onwards
44:52 <Bobbob> I go in
44:55 <Bobbob> I'll lead
45:21 <Tasiv> so we're in formation and stealthy?
45:26 <Bobbob> ha
45:28 <Brunius> Huzzah
45:29 <Bobbob> bobbob is in full plate
45:37 <Brunius> You come to this little entrance chamber
45:38 <Tasiv> clank clank
45:39 <Bobbob> and my wolf wears a breastplate
45:45 <Tasiv> clank
45:53 <Brunius> There's a heck of a lot of fungus around
46:09 <Brunius> Light is provided by some blue glowing mold
46:09 <Bobbob> does any of it glow
46:12 <Cairo> ugh full plate
46:14 <Cairo> what's your penalty
46:23 <Cairo> I detect poison on the mold
46:37 <Brunius> Not poisonous
46:46 <Bobbob> anything else in this room?
46:48 <Cairo> yeah, instead of guidance
46:49 <Bobbob> we'll look around
46:50 <Bobbob> @see
46:51 <diebot> Bobbob, Perception: [1d20=2] 3
46:55 <Tasiv> @see
46:55 <diebot> Tasiv, Perception: [1d20=19] 25
46:55 <Cairo> even though mekkis doesn't want to cast it on anyone else
46:56 <Bobbob> I can see the glowing mold!
47:06 <Brunius> It's all slippery, so you can tell it'd be pretty crap to walk around in battle
47:21 <Brunius> (Difficult terrain)
47:28 <Cairo> we move at half speed
47:35 <Cairo> (carefully)
47:36 <Bobbob> we'll go east
47:42 <Bobbob> unless the dwarf wants to guide us
47:47 <Cairo> @see
47:47 <diebot> Cairo, perception: [1d20=2] 12
47:51 <Cairo> w/e
47:52 <Tasiv> @see
47:52 <diebot> Tasiv, Perception: [1d20=20] 26

48:37 <Cairo> marching order hasn't changed
48:56 <Brunius> u no metagame
49:01 <Cairo> it's up to you brunius
49:16 <Cairo> well I want to go east
49:18 <Cairo> based on that room
49:21 <Brunius> So you're leading all the way east
49:24 <Cairo> north east
49:25 <Brunius> Huzzah
49:28 <Brunius> There's a door here
49:30 <Cairo> yeah
49:36 <Bobbob> we'll keep going
49:39 <Bobbob> to the next set of doors
49:48 <Bobbob> can I charge them
49:57 <Brunius> If you want
49:58 <Brunius> roll it
50:02 <Bobbob> I don't actually want to
50:05 <Bobbob> I just wanted to know if I could
50:19 <Brunius> It's a str check to break them down, just if any of you want to
50:26 <Bobbob> are they locked
50:28 <Brunius> Nope
50:36 <Bobbob> I open the doors
50:43 <Cairo> no
50:46 <Cairo> only mekkis has
50:54 <Cairo> lolllll

51:29 <Bobbob> and we search
51:31 <Cairo> I'll take 10
51:34 <Cairo> giving me 20
51:37 <Bobbob> I'll aid
51:39 <Bobbob> @see
51:40 <diebot> Bobbob, Perception: [1d20=11] 12
51:42 <Bobbob> giving him 22
52:03 <Bobbob> can I do a craft weaponsmith check on it
52:08 <Bobbob> I'll take 10, for 17
52:11 <Brunius> It is....a warhammer
52:16 <Bobbob> is it usable
52:19 <Tasiv> detect magic anyone?
52:23 <Brunius> Are you a goddamn giant?
52:24 <Bobbob> Deceased will detect magic
52:27 <Bobbob> around the room
52:31 <Brunius> No magic
52:35 <Cairo> mekkis has detect magic
52:39 <Cairo> where did he go
52:44 <Cairo> ?
52:48 <Bobbob> I will knowledge religion
52:50 <Bobbob> take 10, for a total of 15
52:56 <Bobbob> who's Torag

53:07 <Cairo> if there's nothing else, we move on
53:28 <Cairo> mmm
53:29 <Bobbob> we'll go back to the other doors
53:34 <Cairo> yeah back west
53:35 <Deceased> sorry about that
53:37 <Cairo> and then south to the door
53:43 <Deceased> detect magic I suppose
53:46 <Cairo> we open them using the handle
53:54 <Bobbob> Deceased can detect magic doors to check for magic traps
54:15 <Cairo> can't believe you didn't tell us it had a handle
54:17 <Cairo> and let us debate it out
54:20 <Bobbob> if he detects no magic, I'll open them
54:27 <Brunius> Patches of dimly glowing fungi reveal a complex dwarven 
54:27 <Brunius> workshop. A wall of kilns, ovens and forges divides the 
54:27 <Brunius> workshop into two vast chambers, each crowded with 
54:27 <Brunius> unfinished sculptures, cobweb-covered tool racks and 
54:27 <Brunius> tables heaped with rusted detritus. The workshop’s ancient, 
54:27 <Brunius> splintering floorboards sag beneath heaped debris. Holes 
54:27 <Brunius> and cracked planks reveal an open space below the cluttered 
54:27 <Brunius> chamber, evidently accessed via stairways on the southern half 
54:28 <Brunius> of the room. Twenty feet overhead, cobweb-covered booms 
54:28 <Brunius> and racks support hanging crucibles and massive chains for 
54:28 <Brunius> hoisting quarried stone.
54:44 <Tasiv> deceased: there was a giant warhammer in the north-eastern room
54:47 <Tasiv> we left it there
54:49 <Tasiv> that's about it
55:13 <Brunius> There was the secret door and dwarven runes
55:22 <Deceased> is there anyone in the room?
55:27 <Bobbob> are there any spiders
55:29 <Brunius> Perception checks gentlemen
55:30 <Bobbob> on the roof, for example

58:31 <Brunius> Yeah
58:36 <Brunius> It happens with all the versions
58:42 <Cairo> I reckon it's got to do with the size of the map
58:43 <Brunius> I've told you about this heaps of times

15:27 <Deceased> I'll take one, and hand the other to Tasiv
15:34 <Deceased> "Either magical, or cursed."
15:39 <Tasiv> "nice - thank you sir"
15:46 <Tasiv> "if not cursed that is"
15:57 <Cairo> how can you tell if something is cursed
16:03 <Deceased> "I hope not. Want me to burn an /Identify/ on it later?"

16:18 <Deceased> if the scenario's written by Matt Goodall, it's cursed
16:28 <Cairo> metagame
16:30 <Cairo> you can't do that
16:40 <Deceased> is this scenario written by Matt Goodall?
16:40 <Bobbob> his character has enough intelligence to know the dangers of a cursed item
16:42 <Tasiv> yeah
16:46 <Brunius> I dunno, is it?
16:55 <Brunius> It's not :P
16:57 <Deceased> ok

18:54 <Brunius> You open the door?
19:06 <Bobbob> I do
19:58 <Cairo> ballig you bully
21:02 <Brunius> There are two people here
21:09 <Deceased> what race
21:18 <Brunius> One's a dwarf
21:20 <Deceased> what sex?
21:21 <Brunius> And one's a human
21:26 <Deceased> are they holding weapons?
21:26 <Brunius> Both male
21:31 <Deceased> are you sure?
21:32 <Brunius> They're chained to the wall
21:35 <Deceased> ok
21:36 <Bobbob> aren't I the one opening the door
21:59 <Brunius> When Torvic sees them, he immediately runs over to the one on the W wall
22:04 <Brunius> "Merisk!"
22:09 <Bobbob> I break their chains
22:17 <Brunius> Ah crap
22:19 <Brunius> Missed one
22:30 <Brunius> There's also a female human here
22:33 <Brunius> Dark blue
22:37 <Bobbob> I don't break her chains
22:38 <Tasiv> all of em are chained up?
22:41 <Brunius> Yes
23:03 <Brunius> Yes
23:06 <Cairo> why break their chains before we know anything about them?
23:09 <Tasiv> merisk is a dwarf?
23:13 <Deceased> "Tell me your names. All of you."
23:16 <Cairo> or do you already know about them
23:18 <Bobbob> my character is honourable
23:29 <Cairo> it's not honourable to release a criminal
23:43 <Bobbob> it's honourable to face your opponents square on, and not while they're in chains
23:43 <Tasiv> if torvic knows them then they're fine
23:54 <Tasiv> (as far as i'm concerned)
23:57 <Brunius> "Lyrehawk" (Blue) "Merisk" (Pink) "Horvet" (Purple)
24:05 <Deceased> it's honourable to take your opponents to an altar before sacrificing them
24:16 <Bobbob> are the chains broken
24:19 <Cairo> can you mark them with letters
24:19 <Brunius> "Who...are you?"
24:30 <Deceased> who said that?
24:35 <Bobbob> "We're helping Torvic with his expedition into the Gallery."
24:48 <Deceased> "Someone who is rather puzzled at how you came to be here"
25:04 <Brunius> Merisk said that
25:13 <Bobbob> "Does She come to you in your dreams?"
25:14 <Brunius> "Help...us"
25:15 <Bobbob> "Tell me about them."
25:20 <Bobbob> I have, I've broken the chains haven't I
25:22 <Brunius> Merisk is the only one conscious
25:30 <Deceased> oh
25:32 <Deceased> great
25:34 <Tasiv> plain old heal on them?
25:35 <Cairo> is it worth channeling a heal
25:38 <Tasiv> yeah
25:44 <Deceased> perhaps
25:45 <Bobbob> depends on why they're unconscious
25:45 <Cairo> alright, I move in and channel a heal
25:46 <Bobbob> do a heal check
25:50 <Brunius> Roll it
25:52 <Deceased> I'll search the unconscious bodies
26:07 <Bobbob> Brunius: can I get a ruling on the chains situation
26:08 <Brunius> They don't have anything of note
26:09 <Cairo> !throw 2d6
26:09 <diebot> Cairo, 2d6: [2d6=3,3] 6
26:15 <Cairo> my sheet says 2d6+1, but I'm not sure that's right
26:19 <Brunius> The chains are intact
26:25 <Brunius> Healing domain?
26:27 <Bobbob> yes, I've tried breaking them twice
26:29 <Bobbob> can I do that now? :p
26:31 <Brunius> They all wake up
26:42 <Bobbob> we weren't arguing
26:44 <Deceased> I start speaking in Elvish
26:46 <Bobbob> I'm doing it no matter what Cairo says
26:53 <Deceased> then Draconic
26:54 <Tasiv> yes i agree
26:57 <Deceased> Then Infernal
26:57 <Cairo> I didn't say anything
27:00 <Tasiv> i'll help bobbob
27:01 <Deceased> then Celestial
27:08 <Deceased> then Ancient Osirioni
27:12 <Deceased> Then Taldain
27:14 <Brunius> Why?
27:17 <Deceased> then Vuldrani
27:17 <Bobbob> you're a regular C3PO
27:21 <Cairo> "Are you losing it?"
27:21 <Deceased> then Kelish
27:26 <Deceased> then Polyglot
27:29 <Deceased> then Azlanti
27:30 <Bobbob> "Is he speaking in tongues?"
27:33 <Deceased> then Varision
27:38 <Cairo> "I don't know, let's kill him to be safe!"
27:40 <Deceased> do I get any responses?
27:48 <Bobbob> you get a response from us
27:50 <Bobbob> looking at you sideways
27:50 <Tasiv> did you try common?
27:52 <Cairo> (I don't add the last bit)
28:01 <Brunius> They all look at you like you're crazy
28:04 <Cairo> "Greetings" I say in common
28:14 <Brunius> Taldain is common
28:23 <Cairo> why would you try celestial before common
28:24 <Bobbob> "Tell me about your dreams."
28:30 <Brunius> "SHE comes in them"
28:36 <Bobbob> "What does she do? Or say?"
28:42 <Deceased> "Who is She?"
28:58 <Deceased> "Long dark hair?"
29:03 <Brunius> "The lady...the evil lady" (Lyrehawk)
29:16 <Bobbob> "Does she whisper to you?"
29:17 <Brunius> I don't have a description for this chick
29:19 <Brunius> It's annoying
29:32 <Tasiv> "who the blazes is lyrehawk?"
29:41 <Bobbob> er
29:48 <Bobbob> he's one of the people in this room :p
30:05 <Brunius> Lyrehawk is one of the chained people
30:07 <Tasiv> oh!
30:10 <Tasiv> right
30:13 <Brunius> HE's not an evil deity?
30:20 <Brunius> Hmm
30:28 <Deceased> "What is she talking about."
30:31 <Cairo> "What do any of you know about the lagend of the infamous serpent priest Atanes summoning a magical bridge across the Inner Sea?"
30:44 <Bobbob> "Oh, I know that legend."
30:47 <Brunius> "You're a loony mate"
30:58 <Brunius> That's Horvet
31:05 <Brunius> No
31:09 <Cairo> who's the loony
31:09 <Brunius> They just look withdrawn
31:10 <Bobbob> I use diplomacy
31:12 <Bobbob> take 10, total of 17
31:17 <Deceased> "Perhaps, but Lyrehawk, you might take interest in this note..."
31:17 <Cairo> assist
31:20 <Bobbob> to raise them from indifferent to friendly, if that's necessary
31:29 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+8 diplomacy
31:29 <diebot> Cairo, diplomacy: [1d20=20] 28
31:31 <Brunius> Worth noting that Merisk and Lyrehawk have fungus and crap growing out of them
31:32 <Bobbob> ha
31:35 <Cairo> my diplomacy is better than yours man
31:44 <Brunius> Yeah, I should have
31:53 <Bobbob> "Can you check these guys out, Cairo?"
31:56 <Bobbob> "They look pretty bad..."
31:59 <Cairo> I do a heal check to determine what's going on
32:04 <Cairo> with detect poison where appropriate
32:07 * Deceased hands her a note
32:10 <Brunius> Lyrehawk is blinde
32:14 <Tasiv> "how familiar are you good people with this gallery?"
32:25 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+8 heal
32:25 <diebot> Cairo, heal: [1d20=5] 13
32:37 <Brunius> And Merisk is in great pain
32:41 <Bobbob> Cairo: take 10
32:42 * Deceased takes the note back
32:43 <Bobbob> the rest of us can assist
32:46 <Bobbob> best chance of getting a 20
32:57 * Deceased prerolls
32:57 <Cairo> can I retry?
32:59 <Deceased> !throw 1d20
32:59 <diebot> Deceased, 1d20: [1d20=16] 16
33:01 <Tasiv> i have +6 on heal
33:07 <Brunius> Roll your heal checks
33:08 <Tasiv> !throw 1d20+6 heal
33:09 <diebot> Tasiv, heal: [1d20=17] 23
33:10 <Bobbob> !throw 1d20-1 heal to assist cairo
33:10 <diebot> Bobbob, heal to assist cairo: [1d20=8] 7
33:11 <Deceased> 15
33:25 <Bobbob> so I think cairo got 22
33:29 <Bobbob> if he takes 10 and everyone else was assisting
33:37 <Brunius> Are you rolling for Merisk or Lyrehawk
33:42 <Cairo> both
33:48 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+8 heal
33:48 <diebot> Cairo, heal: [1d20=3] 11
33:53 <Brunius> Yeah
33:58 <Cairo> my decision man
34:11 <Brunius> You're healing one or the other
34:30 <Cairo> can't we heal both
34:31 <Deceased> heal Lyrehawk first
34:37 <Brunius> Yes, but one at a time
35:00 <Brunius> So you're killing Lyrehawk right after you free her?
35:21 <Cairo> yeah me and mekkis are in the same faction
35:37 <Cairo> Merisk then Lyrehawk
35:40 <Cairo> I guess
35:44 <Cairo> can we retry brunius?
35:48 <Brunius> Yep
35:49 <Brunius> Go on
35:50 <Cairo> okay
35:53 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+8 heal
35:54 <diebot> Cairo, heal: [1d20=12] 20
35:56 <Brunius> Who are you healing first?
35:59 <Cairo> yeah of course
36:03 <Cairo> same again, merisk then lyrehawk
36:04 <Tasiv> !throw 1d20+6 heal
36:04 <diebot> Tasiv, heal: [1d20=11] 17
36:10 <Deceased> sure
36:11 <Cairo> there's no good reason not to assist
36:16 <Deceased> cast guidance on Cairo
36:19 <Deceased> then assist
36:21 <Bobbob> Bobbob doesn't assist
36:26 <Deceased> preroll
36:28 <Deceased> !throw 1d20
36:30 <diebot> Deceased, 1d20: [1d20=14] 14
36:34 <Deceased> I'll use that to assist
36:35 <Brunius> You've taken some of the pain away, and he manages to walk a little way
36:55 <Tasiv> "how familiar are you good people with this gallery?"
37:06 <Tasiv> btw: do we have the pearl on us?
37:09 <Brunius> "I got no clue mate, I was kidnapped and brought here"
37:12 <Brunius> Yes, you do
37:14 <Tasiv> ok
37:17 <Deceased> "Who kidnapped you?"
37:20 <Brunius> That's Horvet again
37:40 <Cairo> another heal check on Lyrehawk
37:47 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+8 heal
37:47 <diebot> Cairo, heal: [1d20=7] 15
37:50 <Tasiv> !throw 1d20+6 heal
37:51 <diebot> Tasiv, heal: [1d20=1] 7
37:53 <Tasiv> gah
38:06 <Bobbob> Bobbob doesn't assist
38:08 <Brunius> "I got no bloody clue mate, just some loonies in the night. Here I was, on me way home tah Cheliax, and these loonies come up and kidnap me in the night"
38:25 <Tasiv> "on the trade route?"
38:44 <Brunius> "Yeah mate in Aspodell Pass I was"
38:55 <Deceased> "When did you start hearing HER?"
39:13 <Tasiv> "no shit? and did you get any idea who your assailants were?"
39:18 <Tasiv> "any ideas at all?"
39:30 <Brunius> "I got no clue who she is mate, these loonies (indicating Merisk and Lyrehawk) have been raving on about her for a while"
39:48 <Brunius> Lyrehawk is still blind, despite your heal check, btw
39:51 <Bobbob> "Are these the same loonies who kidnapped you?"
39:59 <Bobbob> I look at Merisk and Lyrehawk
40:03 <Brunius> "Nah mate, these guys have been here longer than I have"
40:15 * Deceased turns to Merisk
40:21 <Deceased> "So how did YOU get here?"
40:33 <Brunius> "We...were with Torvic"
40:40 <Brunius> "Trying to find...the Gallery"
40:55 <Deceased> "and then you got taken INTO the Gallery?"
41:03 <Deceased> "How did you get injured?
41:04 <Deceased> '
41:07 <Brunius> "We were in here, when they caught us..."
41:14 <Bobbob> "What caught you?"
41:17 <Bobbob> "When did you start hearing her?"
41:19 <Deceased> blinded you
41:24 <Deceased> and injured you?
41:45 <Deceased> "How long have you been here?"
41:51 <Brunius> "When we slept on the first night, She came to us in our dreams"
42:01 <Brunius> "I do not know...what day is it?"
42:03 <Bobbob> "You were inside the Gallery then?"
42:10 <Brunius> "Yes"
42:14 <Cairo> what day is it
42:15 * Deceased tells him the date
42:15 <Bobbob> "We can't sleep while we're here."
42:29 <Cairo> what year!
42:29 <Brunius> "Then we have been here...a month....or more"
42:38 <Deceased> "Have tehy fed you?"
42:52 <Brunius> "Yes...but...horrible things.."
42:58 <Brunius> Indicating the fungus
43:03 <Tasiv> "ah"
43:11 <Deceased> "What does it do?"
43:19 * Deceased looks around at the others
43:25 <Deceased> "Do you know anything about this fungus?"
43:26 <Tasiv> "and tell me torvic: have you consumed the fungus at all?"
43:34 <Bobbob> "How often do they come to feed you?"
43:38 <Brunius> "I know nothing of this fungus.."
43:50 <Brunius> "They used to come twice a day, but now only once..."
43:54 <Bobbob> "Do you know where She is now? Can you feel her?"
43:58 <Deceased> "Who are "they?"
44:06 <Bobbob> "What are 'they'?"
44:09 <Brunius> "She only comes in our dreams...we have never seen here"
44:10 <Tasiv> "and have they been today?"
44:18 <Cairo> "Where are 'they'?"
44:39 <Brunius> "They have been today..."
44:50 <Tasiv> "were they those mites?"
44:54 <Brunius> He describes they as a derro
45:04 <Tasiv> *lols
45:33 <Deceased> "Hmmm... I met some of them, over in Varisia.."
45:57 <Cairo> dungeoneering to determine what I know about derros
46:18 <Cairo> !throw 1d20+4 dungeoneering
46:19 <diebot> Cairo, dungeoneering: [1d20=18] 22
46:30 Tashes ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
46:33 <Bobbob> I forgot you were on your cleric then
46:38 <Bobbob> was about to ask you why your knowledge was so low
46:47 <Cairo> ye
47:05 <Brunius> They're vunerable to sunlight
47:20 <Bobbob> from memory they're like feral dwarwves aren't they
47:31 <Cairo> is that all I know with a DC 20
47:38 <Brunius> I'm looking more stuff up
47:40 <Brunius> Wait
47:46 <Brunius> Patience, young padawan
47:54 <Cairo> ok
48:13 <Deceased> can you dungeoneering the fungus?
48:28 <Brunius> They can at will darkness
48:30 <Brunius> Just for fun
48:37 <Deceased> horrible
48:53 <Cairo> that's an excellent point, can I tell anything about the fungus with dungeoneering
49:04 <Cairo> mekkis don't you have dungeoneering
49:12 <Deceased> nope
49:16 <Deceased> Deceased doesn't
49:25 * Deceased casts Guidance on Cairo first
49:34 <Cairo> for what
49:36 <Brunius> I vote we break after this encounter
49:46 <Brunius> This talk
49:58 <Cairo> if brunius wants to break, we break
50:01 <Tasiv> "ok - now we've freed you - where will you go? what will you do?"
50:21 <Cairo> did they answer my question about the legend of the infamous serpent priest
50:27 <Cairo> I couldn't tell who they called a loony
50:37 <Brunius> They don't know anything about this priest
50:44 <Cairo> no that was much earlier
50:49 <Cairo> okay
50:58 <Cairo> is there anything else we want to talk to them about
51:17 <Cairo> it's good for relaying secrets
51:30 <Tasiv> no i'm good
51:32 <Cairo> if not, we should move on to the gallery
51:40 <Cairo> after the break
51:51 <Tasiv> ok break time?
51:54 <Cairo> YEP
51:56 <Bobbob> is it a break or an end
52:00 <Brunius> I vote we break until another day, or maybe this evening
52:10 <Brunius> Not just lunch break
52:14 <Cairo> this evening I guess
52:16 <Bobbob> yeah that was the impression I got
52:25 <Cairo> ok well when are you availalbe

56:15 Bobbob is now known as Ballig
56:15 * Brunius removes voice from Mekkis
56:18 <Avatar> well we need to know
56:19 * Brunius removes voice from tristen
56:23 <Avatar> you don't have to get up early
56:24 * Brunius removes channel operator status from Brunius
56:25 <Avatar> when is the earliEST
56:42 <Brunius> Who needs a nap
57:02 <Mekkis> I'll be home at 12:30
57:08 <Brunius> am or pm
57:11 <Mekkis> am
57:17 <Brunius> Yeah, thought so
57:25 <Brunius> 1:30 am game anyone?
57:36 <Mekkis> sure
58:04 <Brunius> What time post 9am?
58:39 <tristen> cheers all
58:45 ChanOP gives channel operator status to Ballig
58:45 <Mekkis> thanks for that
58:59 Ballig has changed the topic to: PFS: Sat 31st 10.30am (Brunius, continued game) | CoTE: Sun Jan 8th 10am || All times AEDT (UTC+11:00), CONFIRM YOUR ATTENDANCE | http://dnd.ballig.net/newbie_guide.htm
59:05 <Ballig> I'm willing to run First Steps 3 today too
59:07 <Ballig> ifa nyone wants to play it
59:12 <Avatar> yep
01:48 <Avatar> `op
01:48 ChanOP gives channel operator status to Avatar
02:10 <Avatar> who played first steps 3 last time
02:18 <Avatar> I think we'll all have already played it before?
02:32 <Ballig> except Brunius
02:48 <Avatar> brunius do you want to play it
03:12 <Avatar> alternatively I could get frostfur ready
07:08 <Mekkis> do we have enough for Sewer Dragons yet?
09:14 <tristen> i'm not sure...what time were you thinking?
09:14 <tristen> and can tasiv do it ?
10:05 <Brunius> Tasiv is level 2, wouldn't be able to
10:16 <Brunius> What level is sewer dragons?
10:22 <Avatar> Mekkis: do you know how to counter darkness
10:31 <Mekkis> 3-7
10:41 <Mekkis> yes
10:56 <Mekkis> /continual flame/ cast by a cleric
10:57 <Avatar> yes, with...?
11:11 <Avatar> a level 5 cleric
11:18 <Avatar> or a level 3 wizard
11:24 <Mekkis> heightened /continual flame/ cast by a wizard
11:39 <Avatar> darkness is level 2
11:42 <Avatar> why heighten
11:51 <Mekkis> because you want a higher level, not the same
12:03 <Avatar> whatever, can you prepare that next game
12:11 <Mekkis> no
12:19 <Avatar> the derros use darkness
12:30 <Mekkis> I know
12:44 <Avatar> what am I missing 
12:48 <Avatar> why don't you want to prep it
12:57 <Mekkis> because it's not in my spellbook?
13:22 <Avatar> can we go somewhere to get it
13:26 <Avatar> seems important here
13:50 <Mekkis> can't Cairo just ask his deity for it?
14:13 <Avatar> I think the odds of that working are slim
14:14 <Mekkis> or doesn't his deity do that sort of thing
14:16 <Avatar> to none
14:39 <Ballig> why does a continual flame have to be heightened
14:41 <Avatar> especially when there is the option of just getting the spell
14:54 <Avatar> I don't think it does unless they use heightened darkness
15:07 <Mekkis> as opposed to a cleric who doesn't need to find the spell?
15:26 <Avatar> it's a level 3 spell and I'm a level 4 cleric
15:29 <Avatar> I don't have access to it
15:44 <Avatar> is that what you meant by asking my deity
15:50 <Avatar> I thought meant I should ask for a miracle
21:06 <Avatar> for a laugh, it might be worth playing darkest vengeance with pregen 1st levels for anyone who hasn't played it
21:39 <Avatar> "after you" "no, after you" "please, I INSIST"
22:30 <Ballig> haha
22:46 <Ballig> just find a lot of gunpowder, strap it all to someone
22:55 <Ballig> send them in with a torch kill-switch
22:57 <Avatar> haha
22:59 <Ballig> so when he dies it sets off the gunpowder
25:28 <Mekkis> except Spaceshot, right?
25:47 <Ballig> if it's spaceshot it shouldn't be a pregen
25:51 <Avatar> I'm pretty sure spaceshot will never play PFS properly
25:52 <Ballig> he should do it with his real character
26:06 <Mekkis> Avatar, the reason Continual Flame needs to be heightened is that if it isn't, they cast darkness, which negates it
26:10 <Avatar> after last night I've lost all faith
26:12 <Mekkis> then they cast darkness again
26:24 <Avatar> yeah that's a fair point
26:32 <Avatar> do you have heighten spell
26:36 <Avatar> and can use it
26:40 <Ballig> don't you cast it on an object
26:49 <Avatar> yeah but darkness would still cancel it out
26:58 <Ballig> Mekkis: check page 306 of the APG
27:21 <Mekkis> mmm?
27:32 <Mekkis> Ioun Torch>?
27:35 <Ballig> yeah
27:37 <Ballig> would that do it
27:45 <Mekkis> that would stop the first casting
28:08 <Ballig> how does that work with a wondrous item though
28:09 <Avatar> strangely, that might be cheaper than buying the spell
28:19 <Ballig> does it actually make the wondrous item useless after that
28:40 <Avatar> what do you mean
28:44 <Ballig> and how do you work out whether that's a cleric continual flame or a wizard
28:45 <Avatar> after darkness is cast on it?
28:52 <Ballig> right, after darkness is cast in the same area as it
28:54 <Avatar> yeah it would burn it out
28:58 <Ballig> does it suppress it or does it make it useless
29:18 <Avatar> so we could take several of those in with us
29:45 <Avatar> cheaper than level 2 scrolls, isn't it
29:51 <Ballig> is it the same cost as mine
29:53 <Ballig> mine shows it as 75gp
30:01 <Avatar> what
30:10 <Ballig> my ioun torch in the APG says it's 75gp
30:17 <Avatar> same as what
30:24 <Avatar> level 2 scroll?
30:30 <Ballig> no
30:33 <Ballig> half the price as a level 2 scroll
30:35 <Ballig> if it's really 75gp
30:45 <Ballig> the reason I question it is that the "cost" is only 62.5gp
30:49 <Mekkis> it's cast by a wizard
31:05 <Mekkis> continual flame costs 50gp to cast
31:09 <Mekkis> rubies, iirc
31:42 <Avatar> 62.5 to craft
31:47 <Avatar> we can't craft wondrous item
31:50 <Ballig> ha
32:06 <Avatar> 50gp as a spellcasting service is cheaper isn't it
32:13 <Avatar> why would you ever get an ioun stone then
32:28 Tashes has quit (Quit: Leaving)
32:34 <Ballig> it has to be cast on something
32:39 <Ballig> the ioun torch floats
34:47 <Ballig> Mekkis: so what happens if you bring an ioun torch in with you and they cast darkness? is the ioun torch suppressed or now useless?
34:57 <Mekkis> not sure
35:42 <Ballig> if it's just suppressed you could potentially just have someone run in and out of the area with it
38:19 <Mekkis> I have canvas
38:23 <Mekkis> good enough]
38:32 <Ballig> depends what he casts it on
38:44 <Ballig> do you have darkvision to see what is emanating
40:27 <Mekkis> I hold it in front of me to break LOS :)
40:55 <Ballig> do you have low light vision
41:00 <Mekkis> yes
44:26 <Avatar> maybe we can cast it on like 10 different things
44:47 <Ballig> that's 500 gold
45:02 <Avatar> better than fighting in darkness
45:12 <Avatar> 500 gold is what, 133gp each
49:21 <Ballig> 4 darkvisions would be cheaper
01:16 <Mekkis> would be better to just get a scroll of darkvision and for me to scribe it
06:10 <Ballig> Mekkis: does darkvision completely negate the darkness for that individual?
06:26 <Ballig> other than things being in black and white
06:32 <Mekkis> pretty much
08:18 <tristen> hey what level char is required for first steps 3?
08:27 <Ballig> 1
09:07 <tristen> oh wait haven't i played that one?
09:12 <Ballig> you have
09:17 <Ballig> you can play it again for a different character
09:35 <Ballig> first steps 1, 2 and 3 are an exception to the normal "can only play a scenario once" rule
09:43 <Ballig> with those three scenarios you can re-play them with a new character
10:11 <tristen> was that the bloody fish-people one?
10:15 <Ballig> haha yep
10:17 <Ballig> how badly do you want revenge
10:29 <tristen> i want revenge
10:53 <tristen> but it'll be hard to not go into that pub and wait for...well you know...
11:02 <Ballig> yeah :p
11:12 <Ballig> it'll be good practice at not metagaming
11:16 <tristen> made a bollocks of it for sure
11:18 <tristen> yep
11:53 <Mekkis> tristen, doesn't it make you feel dirty?
12:13 <Ballig> haha, knowing what you're walking into?
12:14 <tristen> aye and decidedly cranky
12:52 <tristen> there's like one round to react
12:59 <tristen> one bad initiative roll
13:06 <tristen> or one bad attack
13:29 <Mekkis> Venture Captain Dreng gives you a briefing, "You need to overland to Escadar blah blah blah Taldan Faction leader to plant fake spies paper trail bla blah blah...."
13:38 <Mekkis> "Nope, it's not worth it."
13:47 <tristen> lolol
14:23 <Ballig> "Have you checked your sources? I mean REALLY checked? Maybe double check them now. I'll wait."
15:48 <Mekkis> just hit on the bartender
16:15 <Ballig> did your synthesist play it
16:48 <Ballig> can you take 10 on diplomacy?
23:30 <Ballig> !findchar Buck
23:31 <diebot> Ballig, Character: Buck, number: 308title>( http://dnd.ballig.net/viewchar.php5?char=308title> )
23:46 <Ballig> did you break Diebot, Mekkis
24:41 <Ballig> fuck, make me work on CA
25:54 <Mekkis> Ballig, give me source please
26:10 <Mekkis> my synthesist did play it
26:21 <Mekkis> he managed to get the centaurs to like him a lot
26:26 <Ballig> I bet
27:24 <Mekkis> !findchar Samsuhn
27:25 <diebot> Mekkis, Character: Samsuhn, number: 281( http://dnd.ballig.net/viewchar.php5?char=281 )
29:16 <Mekkis> Ballig, want me to try and use Samsuhn's sheet as a template?
29:40 <Ballig> using web-based input?
30:13 <Mekkis> yeah
30:20 <Ballig> it's something I considered
30:29 <Ballig> if you do, try and make the inputs as flexible as possible
30:43 <Ballig> flexibility will obviously be limited, but shouldn't be limited more than necessary
30:43 <Mekkis> basically similar to the extractions from Profiler I've been playing around with
32:04 <Mekkis> having class and level on different lines is confusing :S
32:34 <Ballig> yeah it might be better to have class at the end of a line so you can put class and level together at the same time
32:54 <Mekkis> I like:
33:30 <Ballig> I prefer like: cavalier3 (Order of the Sword)/fighter1
33:36 <Mekkis> <Alignment> <Class1> <level1> / <class2> <level2> of <Deity>
33:40 <Ballig> which is what I had for Bobbob when his class had its own line
34:05 <Mekkis> eg.
34:07 <Mekkis> Neutral Good Cleric 3 / Sorcerer 4 / Mystic Theurge 2 Of Shelyn
34:45 <Ballig> it's not bad, but using the word "of" perhaps presses some roleplay onto people
34:55 <Mekkis> even better
34:56 <Ballig> like if you call yourself a fighter of Asmodeus
35:01 ChuckBrowneyes ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
35:10 <Mekkis> <Alignment> <sex> <race> <Class1> <level1> / <class2> <level2> of <Deity>
35:12 ChuckBrowneyes has quit (Quit: )
35:14 <Ballig> it suggests the deity means more to the character than it might
35:34 <Ballig> just be careful that you aren't getting too close to NPC statblock territory
35:39 <Mekkis> NG Male Human Cleric 3 / Sorcerer 4 / Mystic Theurge 2 Of Shelyn
38:13 <Mekkis> 18 + 8 + 10 + 24 = 60
40:34 <Ballig> it sure is
40:51 <Mekkis> hmmm
40:58 <Mekkis> multiple columns makes it hard
41:11 <Ballig> multiple columns make me hard too
41:46 <Ballig> that new source (which is still unstable) has a changed method of sending files
42:14 <Mekkis> oh?
42:27 <Ballig> instead of filling the socket out buffer immediately with all the data and waiting for it to slowly be sent, it starts up a timer to do it
42:36 <Ballig> so the timer can be stopped (and hence the upload/download cancelled)
43:19 <Ballig> it's meant to be usable for sounds too but I haven't added that bit yet
45:57 <Mekkis> could you create a character for me?
46:01 <Mekkis> Kormiggahn 9
46:05 <Mekkis> for Harrowing
47:28 <Ballig> added
47:42 <Ballig> I just called him Kormiggahn, but it will have (The Harrowing) after it in most places
53:47 <Ballig> what class(knowing you, +es) did you decide on?
08:31 <Mekkis> NG Male Human Cleric 3 / Sorcerer 4 / Mystic Theurge 2 Of Shelyn
08:48 <Brunius> Oh, just a note about the arrow to the knee thing earlier?
09:03 <Brunius> It was originally going to be to the shoulder, but I decided on leg joint instead
09:12 <Brunius> because ants don't have shoulders
10:37 <Mekkis> I'm going to be in the 5% !
11:06 <Mekkis> Ballig, any way of putting a comment into bbcode?
12:05 <Ballig> not currently, but I might be able to make a comment bbcode
14:26 <Mekkis> one method I use to create a character sheet template is to simply come up with one, and keep expanding it as I use different parts of the sheet
14:35 <Mekkis> that's why my current one doesn't have armour in it yet
14:40 <Mekkis> I'll need to do something about that
14:43 <Ballig> you armourer
20:32 <Thelen> you whore you
21:16 <Ballig> missed out on some sweet PFS Thelen
21:26 <Ballig> Bobbob was slicing through the low CR monsters!
21:34 <Ballig> (I'm assuming they were low CR)
28:40 <Thelen> hehehe
28:44 <Thelen> i was busy working afraid
32:07 <Mekkis> hmmm
32:14 <Mekkis> cleric gets 2+int, right?
32:17 <Mekkis> so does sorcerer?
32:23 <Mekkis> fun
32:29 <Mekkis> what two skills should I get?
34:23 <Ballig> knowledge (geography) and craft (trapmaking)
34:34 <Ballig> no! knowledge (nobility)!
35:09 <Mekkis> I don't get geography
38:04 <Ballig> Mekkis: use [comment][/comment]
38:09 <Ballig> it should replace with comments without issue
38:48 <Ballig> oh, maybe it doesn't
41:15 <Ballig> now it should work
41:27 <Ballig> I didn't want it to create blank lines if you put a comment on a line by itself
49:05 <Brunius> 1/4 CR Ballig
49:13 <Brunius> Not sure what the hell paizo was thinking with those mites
49:17 <Ballig> haha
49:24 <Ballig> you're 100% certain those are their stats in the 4-5 tier?
49:28 <Brunius> Yes
49:38 <Ballig> if it says "See the bestiary" for both, then yeah it is
49:42 <Ballig> but it will probably give different hp
49:52 <Brunius> Yeah the HP is different
49:58 <Ballig> yeah that seems legit
50:20 <Ballig> I think the scenario we did the other day with the river brigands was like that too
50:33 <Ballig> like they were pretty easy, but there was a lot of them
52:17 <Brunius> http://paizo.com/products/btpy8are?Pathfinder-Society-Scenario-37-The-Beggars-Pearl
52:27 <Brunius> The reviews mainly say it's too easy
54:21 <Ballig> easy compared to other scenarios, maybe
54:33 <Ballig> that's not necessarily a bad thing though. give you a chance not to be almost killed every encounter
54:52 <Brunius> Yeah
55:30 <Ballig> I felt pretty badass jumping over two unconscious things to kill something at the back with a charge, even if the creatures were easy
56:56 <Brunius> Maybe we should play a hypothetical game where you just get goblins thrown at you until you die
57:12 <Ballig> what :(
57:15 <Ballig> why will goblins be thrown at me
57:17 <Ballig> and do I get AOOs on them
57:38 <Brunius> To see how long you last
58:55 <tristen> wave #287
58:59 <Brunius> Ha
59:24 <Ballig> do I get the AOOs
59:30 <Brunius> No
59:38 <Brunius> A giant is throwing them 15ft away from you
59:44 <Ballig> do I get a 5ft step
00:02 <Brunius> No.
00:08 <Ballig> does my wolf get to act
00:45 <Ballig> does the giant get the -4 improvised weapon penalty and the -2 range increment penalty
02:23 <Brunius> No, and no.
02:53 <Ballig> what's his attack bonus
04:24 <Ballig> also: do you want to play First Steps 3 tonight
04:38 <Brunius> Maybe.
04:44 <Brunius> And it's +9001
04:54 <Ballig> what's the damage from being hit by a thrown goblin
05:27 <Brunius> 1d6 per 5ft thrown
05:33 <Brunius> The goblin is always 40ft away
05:39 <Brunius> giant, rather
05:55 <Ballig> that actually makes it harder to determine my chances of survival
06:02 <Ballig> there's a 5% chance it will miss me
06:20 <Ballig> but 8d6 won't necessarily kill me
06:34 <Brunius> It's not throwing directly at you
06:43 <Brunius> The goblins all have feather fall and are trying to get into CC
06:45 <Ballig> it's likely that I'll last two rounds
07:01 <Ballig> into CC?
07:26 <Brunius> Close combat
07:28 <Brunius> Melee
07:31 <Ballig> oh
07:35 <Ballig> but then I get to kill them don't I
07:38 <Brunius> The giant is only trying to get the goblins there
07:50 <Brunius> For all I care the goblins are marching in through a doorway
08:01 <Brunius> The giant is just the mechanism for getting them there
08:29 <Ballig> you could always just put 8 goblins around me, say I can't attack any of them, and see how long it takes for them to kill me
08:46 <Ballig> a CR 1/3 goblin has a +1 to hit
08:51 <Ballig> so it has a 5% chance of hitting me (on a natural 20)
09:12 <Ballig> so I would probably be hit every 2.5 rounds
09:16 <Ballig> for 2.5 damage
09:47 <Ballig> it should take 43 rounds
09:57 <Ballig> (because it evens out to 1 damage per round)
10:46 <Ballig> so if I was unable to attack them, 8 goblins can kill Bobbob in 4 1/3 minutes
12:40 <Ballig> Mekkis: there's no way to get a Sha1 hash of an image before downloading it from the webserver, is there?
19:50 <tristen> nope
19:59 <tristen> not automatically
20:14 <tristen> you could write a page though...
20:26 <Ballig> means the host will have to wait until its downloaded the image from the URI before being able to send the URI to the host
20:36 <Mekkis> Ballig, the simplest algorithm would be to send the image and the URI to the client
20:38 <Ballig> otherwise it won't have a hash to send with the network message, and will force clients to continually download the same image
20:43 <Mekkis> sorry, the hash and the URI
20:48 <Ballig> yeah
20:57 <Ballig> just means it has to wait until the host has downloaded it first
21:18 <tristen> unless perhaps you got the webserver to put the sha1 in the headers
21:22 <tristen> like a custom header
21:26 <tristen> x-image-sha1
21:28 <tristen> or something
21:30 <Ballig> I want people to be able to use any URI
21:34 Spaceshot_tm2_ ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
21:36 <Ballig> and not only specific URIs that will send the correct headers
21:39 <Spaceshot_tm2_> sup?
21:53 <tristen> yeah that's not going to happen
21:59 <tristen> could be wrong
22:03 <tristen> but i doubt it
22:13 <Ballig> yeah I'll just have to change when the host sends the network message to the clients telling them where to download the image
23:26 <tristen> why do you want the sha1 anyway?
23:46 <tristen> it's not like CA isn't "trusted" as such
23:47 <Ballig> so that the client can check  his images directory first
23:56 <tristen> nah don't worry
23:57 <Ballig> his/its
24:00 <Ballig> yeah it has to
24:04 <Ballig> otherwise it will download the same image over and over
24:07 <Ballig> every time you resync
24:08 <tristen> so?
24:16 <Ballig> that's a lot of unnecessary resource use
24:19 <tristen> pffft
25:01 <Spaceshot_tm2_> maps can get quite large
25:08 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I remember mekkis getting some pretty large maps
25:19 <Ballig> haha, brunius pulled the best today
25:23 <Brunius> Did you see our debacle today Spaceshot_tm2_?
25:30 <Ballig> a gigantic BMP, that he made into a PNG that was /still/ 2.7mb
25:39 <Spaceshot_tm2_> nope, haven't been on since last night
25:48 <Brunius> All getting routed through Mekkis' webserver ofc
26:05 <tristen> wait why is CA re-downloading on a resync anyway?
26:22 <Spaceshot_tm2_> probably how it's made
26:27 <Ballig> because when you resync the host says "I'm using a background image with hash equal to XXX"
26:27 <tristen> don't make the resync re-download
26:49 <Spaceshot_tm2_> resync counts as a sync
26:50 <Ballig> Spaceshot_tm2_: it's not
26:52 <Ballig> that's the point
27:12 <Ballig> if the host just says "This is where you get the image" and doesn't say "This is how you identify the image, just in case you already have it"
27:15 <Ballig> then it will have to download it every time
27:40 <tristen> i'd suggest:
27:46 <tristen> only load the image on a new tab
27:55 <tristen> have resync not d/l an image
27:59 <Ballig> a resync closes all tabs
28:04 <Ballig> and requests all data from the host again
28:07 <tristen> if need be have ctrl-i for reload image or something...
28:24 <tristen> yeah rethink your resync i'd say
28:27 <Ballig> no
28:27 <tristen> but hey
28:28 <Ballig> that's how it has to be
28:33 <tristen> ok :)
28:35 <Ballig> it has to be a complete refresh
28:45 <Ballig> the same function is called when you first connect
28:54 <tristen> i'd argue that
28:59 <tristen> but not to the death
29:07 <Ballig> resync is there in case things mess up
29:12 <Ballig> to prevent you having to close and re-open CA
29:23 <Ballig> things can mess up with images, too
29:25 <tristen> right - then there needs to be a softer resync
29:31 <Ballig> no there doesn't :p
29:35 <tristen> heheh ok
29:45 <Ballig> the host can just send information about the background image once it has a copy of it itself
30:33 <tristen> just remind me why resync-ing is happening a lot?
30:39 <Ballig> it isn't
30:42 <Ballig> it only happens when you request it
30:44 <Brunius> Because my internet is screwy
30:46 <Ballig> or when the host requests it
30:56 <Ballig> Brunius requests it a lot because of something specific to him
31:03 <Brunius> No clue what it is
31:10 <tristen> i see...
31:10 <Ballig> it could be his network, or it could be his OS
31:12 <Ballig> I'm not sure
31:16 <Ballig> but he desyncs a lot
31:32 <tristen> say in that last session
31:48 <tristen> how many resyncs? once we got past the inital map size problemos i mean
31:51 <Ballig> we were all desyncing because of Brunius' problem (as the host)
32:10 <Ballig> I was resyncing every few minutes
32:51 <Spaceshot_tm2_> good host :P
33:36 <tristen> ok
33:41 <tristen> maybe this then
33:51 <tristen> have the host (in this case brunius) hold the sha1
34:03 <tristen> let the clients compare their sha1 with the host
34:06 <tristen> if different
34:10 <tristen> bag a new copy
34:30 <tristen> like the host (brunius) can be trusted for the sha1 right?
34:37 <Brunius> Nope
34:40 <tristen> no?
34:43 <Brunius> Never trust Brunius with anything
34:43 <Ballig> unless he data injects
34:44 <Brunius> Ever.
35:07 <tristen> you mean never trust brunius or never trust the host?
35:17 <Brunius> Never trust Brunius
35:21 <Brunius> He is a stalker.
35:27 <Ballig> he is a stalker
35:31 <Ballig> he's coming to Canberra to stalk me
35:36 <tristen> i'm hearing brunius is a stalker
35:43 <Brunius> Yeah, that's the whole reason I'm going to Canberra
35:47 <tristen> lolol
35:49 <Brunius> To stalk Ballig
35:59 <tristen> stalk stalk stalkity-stalk
36:03 <Ballig> he's going to stalk me, break into my place, and take my graphics card
36:20 <Brunius> Your Radeon.
36:34 <tristen> ah well if it's a gpu then stalking is wholly justified
36:34 <Ballig> Nvidia
36:39 <Ballig> my radeon is in my computer
36:40 <Ballig> you leave it alone :(
36:43 <Brunius> No
36:49 <Brunius> I will steal your radeon
36:53 <Ballig> :(
36:55 <Brunius> Hell, your mobo too
36:58 <Brunius> But not the CPU
37:01 <Ballig> why not
37:02 <Brunius> I will leave the CPU alone.
37:10 <Ballig> just sitting there on top of the case?
37:16 <Brunius> Yeah
37:18 <Ballig> like some kind of evisceration?
37:25 <Ballig> "Yeah, I left you the heart."
37:25 <Brunius> Absolutely.
39:16 <tristen> i wonder...it's a pretty radical change
39:29 <tristen> but... instead of tcp connections
39:37 <tristen> change it to be stateless
39:42 <tristen> have the clients poll?
39:48 <tristen> maybe...
40:24 <Ballig> why
40:47 <tristen> well you wouldn't have to worry about crap hosts
41:00 <Ballig> just crap clients
41:00 <Ballig> :p
41:06 <tristen> or crap clients
41:18 <tristen> like http
41:40 <tristen> so the client just asks the server for a tiny bit of info every few seconds
42:03 <Ballig> that would require a server
42:04 <tristen> anyhoo
42:22 <tristen> well yeah - but the host is already acting as one right?
42:49 <Ballig> right
43:49 <tristen> fair bit of rethinking there though
44:29 <tristen> and if you were to go that far
44:40 <tristen> you might as well put it in a web page
44:49 <tristen> i'll shut up now
45:08 <Ballig> ha
45:18 <Ballig> you just want me to remake it in java
45:24 <tristen> no!
45:27 <tristen> i'm a c++ man
45:45 <tristen> but with client/server it's always:
45:53 <tristen> can it be pushed through the browser?
45:58 <tristen> or do i need a bloody gui?
46:12 <Ballig> GUI all the way
46:23 <tristen> heheh - yeah
51:08 <Spaceshot_tm2_> who wants to browser everything?
55:42 <tristen> everyone really
55:56 <Ballig> I don't
56:06 <tristen> no, there are exceptions
56:06 <Ballig> then I can't have IRC and CA visible at the same time
56:19 <Ballig> and my character sheet is browser-based, so I can't see that either
56:41 <Ballig> right now I use three screens when I play: left screen has an open rulebook PDF, middle screen has IRC, right-hand screen has CA and my character sheet
56:43 <tristen> say irc and ca were in a browser
56:50 <Ballig> you would have to tab between them
57:04 <tristen> you can open a browser more than once
57:12 <Ballig> and use more resources than CA is meant to use
57:53 <tristen> arguable...
58:43 <tristen> heheh i should say debatable
59:07 <tristen> but don't get me wrong
59:13 <Ballig> well, a very unscientific test is my current firefox browser has 9 tabs open and is using just under 900mb of memory
59:15 <tristen> cross-browser issues are shite
59:17 <Ballig> so let's say each tab is just under 100
59:21 <Ballig> I open CA and it's using 5mb
59:40 <tristen> i don't think you can say 9 tabs means 100mb per tab
59:47 <Ballig> but the current unstable release is using high CPU
59:48 <Ballig> for some reason
59:59 <tristen> yeah it's got to be spinning
00:04 <Ballig> tristen: that's right, you can't. a lot of that has to be the overall browser overhead, so really it's going to end up worse than that
00:04 <Ballig> :p
00:11 <tristen> :)
00:35 <tristen> no worries i don't want to get bogged down in the whole gui vs. browser thing
00:38 <tristen> both have their merits
00:43 <tristen> both have their faults
01:39 <Spaceshot_tm2_> to some extent
01:44 <Ballig> you can make a browser-based implementation if you want, I'm happy to share the appropriate network string format
01:45 <Ballig> :p
02:34 <tristen> the protocol wouldn't work in a browser
02:46 <Spaceshot_tm2_> could be wrapped
02:57 <tristen> persistent connection?
03:09 <Ballig> java can do persistent connection can't it
03:17 <Ballig> I knew you were aiming for java!
03:22 <tristen> no
03:33 <tristen> you'd have to sign the applet to make a connection elsewhere
03:36 <tristen> and anyway
03:42 <tristen> an applet is just a gui anyway
03:52 <tristen> might as well just use the client
04:02 <Ballig> could do a text-based implementation
04:16 <Ballig> the web server could receive updates and translate them into text for the user
04:30 <Ballig> The token that was previously at G15 has been moved to G16.
04:35 <Ballig> The token at G16 has been removed.
04:39 <Ballig> A cross has been placed at G16.
04:42 <tristen> browser can't make connections to a different server though
04:48 <tristen> has to be all on the one server
05:01 <Ballig> it can receive get requests
05:06 <Ballig> with updates
05:18 <tristen> your server can
05:28 <Ballig> webservers can
05:28 <tristen> but my browser can't make them anywhere it likes
05:39 <Ballig> your browser makes get requests to ever server you go to
05:48 <tristen> yes
05:55 <Ballig> it would just refresh the page every few seconds
06:03 <Ballig> and display whatever information has been sent to it by a get request
06:06 <Spaceshot_tm2_> avatar: you playing SWTOR yet?
06:14 <Ballig> he played the beta
06:20 <Ballig> he got to level 10 and got bored
06:23 TheWyrm ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
06:28 <Ballig> oh no it's a wyrm
06:29 <Ballig> :O
06:30 <tristen> hmmmm
06:31 <Ballig> a canadian wyrm
06:37 <TheWyrm> Test...
06:44 <TheWyrm> Hello there.
06:53 <Ballig> what's up Robert
07:15 <Spaceshot_tm2_> someone whois-ed
07:23 <Ballig> really? who?
07:26 <TheWyrm> Not much.
08:03 <TheWyrm> Just searching around for D&D chatrooms.
08:11 <Ballig> this is a D&D chatroom
08:19 <TheWyrm> Bounced through my old haunts, some new ones... ran away screaming from mibbit...
08:29 <tristen> you've come to the right place
08:45 <Spaceshot_tm2_> australian based, but we can play a game at any time if there's enough people to play
08:55 <tristen> i lobbed in here a few weeks ago and have been gaming on since
09:15 <TheWyrm> Spiffy.  Hey if you're in Australia, can you check something from 'your' google for me?
09:22 <Ballig> haha
09:25 <Ballig> what's that
09:26 <TheWyrm> Search "IRC D&D" and let me know what's the first link you see.
09:37 <Ballig> netsplit.de
09:42 <Ballig> wait, that's the US google
09:54 <Ballig> yeah, it's me
10:01 <Ballig> (I'm like second or third on american google)
10:05 <TheWyrm> That explains why I've suddenly been getting so many people interested in my game.. it's the first link when you search IRC D&D :)
10:23 <Mekkis> Thelen, you're netsplit.de?
10:32 <Ballig> TheWyrm
10:35 <Mekkis> TheWyrm...
10:42 <Spaceshot_tm2_> nice tabbing :P
10:48 <Ballig> yeah I fell foul of it earlier
10:57 <Mekkis> I think Avatar chose "Mellon" for his character on purpose
11:10 <Avatar> what?
11:15 <Ballig> ha
11:21 <Ballig> because Mekkis uses two characters and then tab completes
11:28 <Ballig> so when he tries to say "Mellon", he ends up saying "Mekkis"
11:36 <Avatar> I didn't do that on purpose
11:47 <Spaceshot_tm2_> I will from now on
11:51 <Ballig> I actually use three characters and then tab complete
11:57 <Ballig> I should make a character named Meklon
11:58 <Spaceshot_tm2_> need to make more Me started names
12:09 <Mekkis> so you still get Thelen and TheWyrm mixed up?
12:15 <Ballig> yep
12:23 <Spaceshot_tm2_> or, you just tab twice :P
12:36 <Ballig> I did tab twice when I realised what had happened
12:41 <Mekkis> so you get Mekkis then MekkisScreen 
13:24 <Ballig> I get Mekkis the first time and MekkisScreen the second time
13:39 <Ballig> even if there are messages in between
13:46 <Spaceshot_tm2_> does mekkisScreen even talk
13:48 <Spaceshot_tm2_> or what?
14:07 <Ballig> TheWyrm: so what did you mean by your game and the link?
14:11 <Mekkis> of course he talks
13:15 <Valeros> You sure Toro?
13:31 <Ballig> you miss

17:09 <Ballig> [11:13:24 PM] <@Ballig> it's Valeros' turn
17:33 <Toro> "I was mistaken."
17:44 <Valeros> I try to find a prostitute
17:48 <Thwang> stop skim reading
18:21 <Valeros> Are any of them chicks?
18:42 <Valeros> Hawt?
18:51 <Valeros> :S
18:55 <Valeros> I hit the taverns
19:23 <Valeros> Get laid, with any luck
19:35 <Valeros> Well then
19:39 <Valeros> We go to escadar
19:58 <Thwang> Goto captain A
19:59 <Valeros> We pick one and go to escadar
20:01 <Valeros> duh
20:33 <Ballig> "What do you lot want?"
20:34 <Toro> we all go to captain A
20:44 <Toro> "Passage."
20:45 <Thwang> "We'd like to ask some questions about your ship"
21:03 <Ballig> she looks you up and down
21:05 <Ballig> "Not for Pathfinders."
21:14 <Valeros> "Why's that, eh?"
21:18 <Valeros> Looking menacing
21:22 <Thwang> "We aren't here to cause trouble"
21:33 <Ballig> Valeros: roll intimidate
21:36 <Valeros> !throw 1d20
21:37 <diebot> Valeros, 1d20: [1d20=2] 2
21:39 <Valeros> :S
21:47 <Toro> !throw 1d20+7 intimidate
21:47 <diebot> Toro, intimidate: [1d20=11] 18
21:55 <Ballig> "I expected no less from the Pathfinder Society."
21:58 <Ballig> she refuses to speak to you any further
22:03 <Valeros> ha
22:24 <Toro> "You misunderstand."
22:34 <Ballig> in fact, she leaves and goes to her residence
22:35 <Thwang> I walk up to her, "Sorry for my companions, they aren't the best with people of beauty"
22:36 <Ballig> locking the door
22:47 <Valeros> Ha
22:51 <Thwang> anyone got tape?
23:06 <Valeros> We duct tape her door closed
23:15 <Valeros> Why?
23:26 <Valeros> Yep
23:31 <Thwang> valeros is not comunicating
23:37 <Ballig> you find Small Otti, a fat halfling who constantly states that his plump stature helps with bouyancy at sea
23:37 <Toro> "Let's look less menacing this time."
23:43 <Ballig> he's well-groomed and eating a meal
24:05 <Thwang> "Can I ask you a few questions captain?"
24:20 <Ballig> "*nfmg, stuffs a chicken leg in his mouth* What do you want? Can't you see I'm eating?"
24:59 <Ballig> Escadar
25:00 <Thwang> "I'm sorry good sir, but we'd like to take passage to Escadar"
25:05 <Valeros> Ha
25:15 <Ballig> "Mm, mm. 55 gold."
25:41 <Thwang> "Hmmm, is this each or in total?
25:42 <Thwang> "
26:05 <Ballig> "Total."
26:07 <Toro> "Is that the best price you can do."
26:19 <Toro> !throw 1d20+7 diplomacy
26:20 <diebot> Toro, diplomacy: [1d20=1] 8
26:21 <Valeros> I'll try
26:29 <Valeros> !throw 1d20 Diplomacy aid
26:29 <diebot> Valeros, Diplomacy aid: [1d20=19] 19
26:33 <Thwang> I turn to the escortee
26:52 <Ballig> !throw 1d20-1 diplomacy aid hashish
26:52 <diebot> Ballig, diplomacy aid hashish: [1d20=17] 16
26:54 <Thwang> !throw 1d20 dip +3
26:55 <diebot> Thwang, dip +3: [1d20=19] 19
27:25 <Thwang> I ask the person we're escorting "Do you by anychance have funds to travel by sea?"
28:34 <Ballig> he snorts, "I can probably do it for 25. Since I'm going anyway."
29:22 <Valeros> I only have 6gp :P
29:46 <Valeros> Hey, what happened to our victory fanfare
32:02 <Thwang> I go to the merchant quarters
32:11 <Toro> embassy
32:18 <Toro> find someone to talk to
32:28 <Ballig> an embassy representative comes out "Yes, may I help you?"
32:44 * Thwang whispers to Toro "Don't be precise, be vague if you can"
33:02 <Valeros> "We have an item of interest to you. I would prefer we discussed it inside..."
33:25 <Ballig> "Oh, you're from the Pathfinder Society? About time you got here."
33:44 <Ballig> "We will send someone to trade with you in an hour. Meet them at the Grindylow's Goblet."
33:55 <Valeros> "10-4"
33:58 <Thwang> "Can you give us directions just in case?"
34:39 <Valeros> It's kinda nice not having a faction mission to worry about
36:10 <Valeros> Which game was this?
36:20 <Thwang> @see
36:20 <diebot> Thwang, Perception: [1d20=7] 19
36:26 <Thwang> check for shifty bar peeps

45:31 <Ballig> so these are who you're talking to as the gillmen enter the room
46:07 <Ballig> they sit down at a table
46:11 <Toro> I raise my hand, waving them over
46:24 <Ballig> they look at the table, and see that there are two people already there
46:43 <Toro> I wave over the party as well
46:50 <Valeros> I'm staying a little way away
46:57 <Ballig> "Uh..."
46:59 <Ballig> the people at the table say
47:01 <Ballig> "This is our table."
47:03 <Valeros> A nearby table
47:04 <Toro> "Excuse me gentlemen."
47:06 <Toro> intimidate
47:10 <Ballig> roll it
47:15 <Toro> !throw 1d20+7 intimidate
47:15 <diebot> Toro, intimidate: [1d20=8] 15
47:18 <Valeros> Remember our last intimidate?
47:27 <Ballig> roll it on the other guy
47:30 <Toro> !throw 1d20+7 intimidate
47:30 <diebot> Toro, intimidate: [1d20=9] 16
47:36 <Ballig> they grumble and move to another table
47:53 <Ballig> what are you doing
47:58 <Valeros> I'm to the S a bit

48:06 <***> Buffer Playback...
48:07 <***> Playback Complete.
48:11 <Avatar> oh wow
48:13 <Valeros> Yeah why not
48:15 <Avatar> if you have survival you get a bonus to it
48:19 <Avatar> to your fort save
48:36 <Avatar> it reads "A character who has the survival skill can...."
48:40 <Valeros> Nestor Rees
48:44 <Avatar> not clear on whether you need to be trained in it"
48:45 <Avatar> *
48:57 <Thwang> "Welcome"
49:00 <Spaceshot> you don't have a skill unless you're trained in it
49:04 <Ballig> "Hello."
49:07 <Mekkis> what did Valeros say?
49:08 <Ballig> "Do you have the relic with you?"
49:09 <Spaceshot> you can have a possitive to a roll using that skill, but you don't have that skill
49:12 <Avatar> normally you make a check once every 10 minutes, unless you're wearing cold weather outfits, where it's once per hour
49:51 <Mekkis> Avatar, I generally take that sort of thing ("A character who has the survival skill can....") to require the player to actually attempt it
49:58 <Avatar> taking any nonlethal damage from cold or exposure is beset with frostbite and treated as fatigued
50:00 <Mekkis> rather than saying that it's possible
50:03 <Ballig> "I am Shaolo."
50:12 <Avatar> attempt what
50:19 <Avatar> I'm talking about whether you have a rank in it or not
50:32 <Ballig> the muscular female gillman remains silent
50:35 <Toro> "First, I would just like to get to know you."
50:35 <Avatar> the skill doesn't say the person with survival has to actively do something
50:39 <Toro> "Who is your daddy, and what does he do?"
50:39 <Mekkis> I'm not going to prompt a character to attempt a survival check in that circumstance
50:47 <Ballig> Shaolo places his package (ha ha) on the table
50:56 <Thwang> "I am Thwang. We've come a long way with the relic, whilst protecting Nestor Rees, the apraiser of the relic"
51:07 <Avatar> well they're entitled to have it, so you couldn't penalise them
51:09 <Ballig> you don't need a skill point to do it
51:20 <Ballig> basically if you are "really wise" you might know a few things about staying warm
51:23 <Ballig> even if you aren't trained in survival
51:24 <Thwang> I'll take it
51:30 <Avatar> I guess it could mean if you have at least +1 in survival
51:37 <Avatar> since a negative modifier would do more harm than good
51:40 <Avatar> so it wouldn't apply
51:43 <Mekkis> they're only entitled to have it if they actually say they're trying to do it
51:58 <Avatar> I disagree
52:01 <Ballig> GM's prerogative
52:03 <Avatar> you're playing it hardcore
52:04 <Ballig> "Great. This is our relic. Where is yours?"
52:16 <Ballig> some GMs might see that as the player's failing, not the character's
52:19 <Avatar> I wouldn't do that on a casual table
52:24 <Ballig> that a character who is trained in survival would, realistically, know they can make themselves warmer
52:53 <Mekkis> "I try to find some way to make myself warmer"
52:56 <Thwang> "Here's our relic" Places it on the table wrapped as well
52:57 <Ballig> whereas to take the stance that they shouldn't be prompted is more punishing the player for not having as good an understanding of the rules as you do
53:16 <Mekkis> not of the rules
53:18 <Avatar> fatigued ends when the nonlethal damage is gone
53:20 <Ballig> Shaolo picks up the relic to appraise it
53:24 <Ballig> it is knowledge of the rules though
53:26 <Ballig> you can appraise the relic on the table if you like
53:29 <Ballig> because it's people with survival that get to do it
53:29 <Mekkis> not really
53:34 <Ballig> it's not "if you want you can try to make yourself warmer"
53:36 <Thwang> I ask rees to do it
53:37 <Avatar> extreme cold below -20 farenheit deals 1d6 points of lethal damage per minute
53:40 <Avatar> no save
54:02 <Avatar> and they must make a fort save DC 15 +1 per previous check or take 1d4 points of nonlethal
54:03 <Spaceshot> if the character isn't trained, I'd say the character would forget, if the character is trained, I'd say it's the player would forget but the character wouldn't
54:18 <Spaceshot> just because you might know a bit about something, doesn't mean you always remember it when needed
54:29 <Mekkis> I encourage players to try things not specified by the rules
54:32 <Spaceshot> but if you learn something, and spent time training it, you'd remember when needed
54:42 <Toro> !throw 1d20-1 appraise
54:42 <diebot> Toro, appraise: [1d20=5] 4
54:52 <Thwang> !throw 1d20+1 appr
54:52 <diebot> Thwang, appr: [1d20=7] 8
55:01 <Valeros> Nope
55:10 <Ballig> !throw 1d20+0 hashish
55:10 <diebot> Ballig, hashish: [1d20=15] 15
55:14 <Valeros> I'm at another table, trying to be inconspicous
55:20 * Thwang over Rees' shoulder, "Looks shiny"
55:22 <Valeros> Probably failing
55:23 <Ballig> Rees says, "Looks legit."
55:38 <Ballig> Shaolo says, "Thank you, gentlemen. Pleasure doing business with you."
55:49 <Ballig> they get up and leave
55:56 <Valeros> As they're leaving I'll slip them the note
56:01 <Ballig> as they're on their way out, Rees shouts
56:02 <Valeros> That Lady Morilla gave me
56:04 <Ballig> "Wait! I think it's a fake!"
56:05 <Spaceshot> hmm... odd
56:10 <Ballig> as he yells that, you hear a glass shatter
56:17 <Ballig> there is a blinding flash of light
56:22 <Spaceshot> no idea why it's failing
56:31 <Thwang> "We've been had"
56:35 <Valeros> Well shit son
56:38 <Thwang> "TO ARMS"
56:42 <Ballig> Mekkis: yeah but you're  not saying you encourage them to do other things, you're saying you don't prompt them and they don't get the bonus even if they have the survival skill because they didn't say they were using it
56:45 <Thwang> !Throw save of sorts
56:49 <Ballig> roll will saves
56:52 <Toro> @will
56:52 <diebot> Toro, will: [1d20=17] 17
56:52 <Valeros> @will
56:52 <diebot> Valeros, 1d20+1: [1d20=2] 3
56:55 <Valeros> 3 :S
56:56 <Thwang> !throw 1d20+5 will
56:56 <diebot> Thwang, will: [1d20=6] 11
56:58 <Avatar> Ballig: did city of strangers 2 take place in kaer maga?
57:00 <Ballig> that's not encouraging, that's saying "you had better start reading the rulebook more, because if you don't know about a rule I'm not going to remind you"
57:05 <Ballig> Avatar: yeah
57:17 <Avatar> yeah that is a hardcore guideline
57:28 <Avatar> which is great for hardcore players, but you're robbing casual players of what they should know
57:41 <Ballig> !throw 1d20+6 hashish
57:41 <diebot> Ballig, hashish: [1d20=2] 8
57:44 <Ballig> yeah
57:52 <Ballig> Thwang, Valero and Hashish are all blind
57:56 <Ballig> roll initiative
57:58 <Valeros> "Thoes bitches!"
57:59 <Toro> @init
57:59 <diebot> Toro, init: [1d20=3] 5
58:00 <Valeros> @init
58:00 <diebot> Valeros, initiative: [1d20=16] 18
58:06 <Thwang> @init
58:06 <diebot> Thwang, Initiative: [1d20=2] 4
58:09 <Avatar> apparently the shadow lodge relocated to irrisen after 'the incident in kaer maga'
58:31 <Ballig> yeah
58:33 <Avatar> at the time when they weren't a proper faction
58:37 <Ballig> that was city of strangers 1 and 2
58:43 <Toro> Blinded', 'The creature cannot see. It takes a –2 penalty to 
58:43 <Toro> Armor Class, loses its Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), and takes a –4 penalty on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks and on opposed Perception skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Perception checks based on sight) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) against the blinded character. 
58:43 <Toro> Blind creatures must make a DC 10 Acrobatics skill check to move faster than half speed. Creatures that fail this check fall prone. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
58:51 <Ballig> they were a small-ish upstart
58:54 <Mekkis> it makes the adventure feel more rigid if you list what is possible, rather than allowing the players to come up with something
58:59 SpaceshotPC ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
59:07 <Ballig> you don't have to list what is possible
59:15 <Mekkis> and then after irrisen, they went to Almas?
59:15 <SpaceshotPC> try giving it to me here ballig
59:16 <Ballig> but you can provide some encouragement, like you said
