00:00:00 <Mekkis> Mort-, have you ever burnt a flag?
00:00:07 <Steven> so, dont be stupid and you live longer.
00:00:24 <Mort-> No.
00:00:33 <Mort-> Its against the law
00:00:41 <Steven> most people down at the shop have 2-4 character deaths
00:00:47 <Steven> and then you have andrew with 8
00:00:49 <Mort-> And you know I'm lawful neutral.
00:00:51 <Steven> and a character in jail
00:01:07 <Steven> bwahahahaa, i put his charater in jail for killing a homeless dude
00:01:37 <Hydrazine> Jerus spent the entire encounter either grapped in water, or just in water and threatened. By something with grab and 50+ CMB rolls.
00:01:57 <Steven> ugh, that sucks big floppy dick
00:02:12 <Steven> what were you fighting tat had 50+CMB rolls?

00:03:15 <Hydrazine> oh, only +30 modifier. So +35 after first round. close enough.
00:03:28 <Steven> yeah... thats pretty tough...
00:04:24 <Steven> i got swallowed once...
00:05:14 <Steven> big fat remorhaz
00:05:26 <Steven> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/remorhaz
00:05:31 <Mort-> what are rules on using items while grappled
00:05:38 <Mort-> as in taking out things from your pck
00:05:38 <Mort-> pack
00:05:42 <Mort-> say if you get swallowed whole
00:07:13 <Mekkis> wtf
00:07:20 <Mekkis> (Default) Disable focus stealing prevention for XV: Enabled
00:07:21 <Mekkis> wtf
00:07:31 <Eric> Make it easy to pour an Inflict Wounds potion though
00:08:10 <Mort-> I wasnt thinking of that
00:08:14 <Mort-> more like potion of gaesous form
00:08:17 <Mort-> fly away..
00:08:31 <Steven> ok back
00:08:50 <Steven> yeah i got swallowed with a remorhaz while under the effects of energy resistance
00:09:03 <Mort-> or what happend if for more hilarity, you poured a potion of gaesous form into the belly of a creature
00:09:06 <Mort-> while swallowed whole
00:09:59 mortswishytail ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:09:59 Mort- has quit (EOF from client)
00:10:15 <Steven> so yeah, i was in its stomach taking some damage plus fire damage
00:11:06 <Steven> and walter was so happy, he was like take 50 some odd damage
00:11:22 <Eric> Gaseous Form changes the creature and its gear, so anything in its stomach would also becomes gaseous and remain in the same relative position
00:11:31 <Steven> and i was like how much of that was fire damage?
00:11:47 <Mort-> I think if you drank the potion you turn into gas and you could fly out
00:11:59 <Mort-> but I was wondering if he changes into gas does htat mean..you can wlk out?
00:12:00 <Eric> One end or the other
00:12:01 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:12:10 <Steven> he was like 36 of it, i was like okay, ill take 20 points of damage
00:13:21 <Mort-> so now you will end up with 2 gases
00:13:27 <Mort-> but if you take the potion yourself you turn into a gas and fly out?
00:13:33 <Mort-> hrm
00:14:02 mortswishytail has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
00:15:10 <Eric> I've played 26 and not lost a character or other player yet. I don't count Kyra as it was a 4am plan and a pregen, but none of the characters in her group died
00:15:57 <Mort-> it depends on what youre usually doing :(
00:16:13 <Mort-> I have a feeling melee characters have a shorter life expentancies then their non melee counterparts :(
00:17:09 <Eric> depends on whether they like to melee by themselves or are willing to wait for flankers to help out. Flank and Aid Other are potent combo
00:17:21 <Mort-> do you know someitmes parties go out iwth only one tank?
00:17:23 <Mort-> I had that yesterday
00:17:32 <Eric> Shield Other is also a fantastic spell for keeping melee types alive
00:17:42 <Mort-> we wiggled fingers our entire session
00:17:46 <Mort-> well except for one of us
00:17:48 <Avatar> isn't that the one where you take partial damage
00:18:08 <Eric> yeah, it's very efficient particularly when chanelling
00:18:15 <Avatar> oh mort would never cast that
00:18:18 <Avatar> never ever
00:18:29 <Mort-> yeah because I dont have a cleric :D
00:18:44 <Mort-> I cant cast it anyway
00:18:52 <Mort-> and yeah that guy would be considered as a SECONDARY tank for other parties
00:19:24 <Eric> No one does
00:19:45 <Avatar> if you were a cleric you would never cast it
00:20:05 <Eric> I used it to keep a 1st level Rogue alive because the DM didn't bring a 4th level pregen
00:20:19 <Mort-> firstly I dont do divine classes
00:20:59 <Mort-> so since Icant get that spell. screw it
00:21:06 <Mort-> at least hte only divine caster I have wont be able to cast it
00:21:12 <Mort-> and I dont even THINK of him as a divine caster
00:22:54 <Avatar> if you did do divine classes you would never cast it
00:23:25 <Eric> I view it as: once the tank goes, then goes the party.
00:23:29 Sachiru ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
00:24:35 <Mort-> mebbe
00:24:40 <Mort-> and avatar whats the thing about it with me :P
00:24:47 <Mort-> I just run off on one character
00:24:48 <Mort-> thats all
00:24:56 <Avatar> run off is right
00:24:58 <Mort-> just for variety sake
00:29:05 <Eric> One other thing I do is flee an encounter. D&Ders tend ot stand toe to toe in a death trap for some reason.
00:29:15 <Eric> I;ve never figured out why
00:35:18 <Eric> It's pushin 1am, so I'm going to call it a night. send an invite if you have anything coming up next week.
00:36:20 <Hydrazine> Fleeing wasn't an option here
00:39:10 * Mort- sighs sadly
00:39:21 <Mort-> its I think in this sense called having get out of jail free cards
00:39:27 <Mort-> were you generally grappled or swallowed whole
00:39:44 <Mort-> I think I know why people suggest to have a potion of gaseoius form on yourself :(
00:50:37 <Steven> because you can drink it and float away

10:41:55 <Mort-> I keep trying to bf control in some kind of way
10:42:18 <Mort-> Hm. Its like all my characters with the exception of grull can/will have some kind of bf control

10:51:09 mortswishytail has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
10:52:41 <Mort-> Oh i see

10:53:26 <Mort-> I'm coming close to my 1 year annivesary
10:53:30 <Mort-> Haha
10:53:35 <Mort-> I was about to say that
10:53:45 * Mort- is amused and offers a paw
10:54:12 * Mort- tail coincidentally drops out of her robes
10:55:27 <Mort-> "Hi, my name is Mort. I'm a lemur. Don't believe whatever people say, I'm a lemur with a tail. A mouse lemur!"
10:59:58 Eric ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:02:24 <Mort-> Hi eric
11:02:34 * Mort- waves her paw at eric
11:03:27 <Eric> hello Mort
11:03:42 <Eric> Anything going on tonight?
11:05:35 <kapow> I have no identity ^_^
11:06:00 <Mort-> Mek said he could be persuaded to run rebels ransom if he got enough peeps
11:07:36 <Mort-> Wonder if sushi is around
11:09:36 <Mort-> Apparently not on skype
11:11:13 <Mort-> Hm
11:11:32 <Mort-> I don't have sushis contacts
11:12:27 <Brunius> What tier is rebels?
11:12:42 <Mort-> 5-9 :(
11:14:42 <kapow> tier's?
11:14:49 <Mort-> I'm trying to bugger trist
11:14:49 <kapow> I don't know anything about pathfinder
11:14:54 <Mort-> Levels
11:14:54 <kapow> is it all their running now?
11:14:59 <Brunius> :(
11:15:06 <Brunius> Yeah
11:15:09 <Mort-> But just get the pregens
11:15:24 <Brunius> It's grown the channel because you don't have to show up every week
11:15:31 <Brunius> Which was a major problem with ongoing campaigns
11:15:37 <Mort-> I would show up every week
11:15:47 <Mort-> Except for uh some weeks after
11:16:04 <kapow> sounds good brunius :P
11:16:09 <Mort-> Gah
11:16:20 <kapow> if only they ran it when i sometimes worked till 9 and missed games :/
11:16:24 <Mort-> But how comfortable are you guys running pregen
11:16:30 <Mort-> S
11:17:31 <kapow> like i said i know nothing about pathfinder at all nor do i have any of the books so count me out for now :P
11:17:34 <Eric> I have no problem, however i do have a 6th that could be played
11:18:12 <Eric> Otherwise I'd just play the revivified Kyra
11:19:02 <Mort-> Ok
11:19:09 <Mort-> Your homework today
11:19:32 <kapow> -.^?
11:19:36 <Mort-> Is to read the whole pfsop guide
11:19:49 <Mort-> I'm 7 but that's not the point
11:19:53 <Mort-> 3 people minimum
11:20:00 <Mort-> Go bru!
11:20:06 <Steven> dont bother reading it
11:20:12 <Mort-> Time to start summoning monsters :(
11:20:14 <Steven> tell her, you will read it when she plays a gnome
11:20:30 <Eric> http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd/advanced/advancedNewRules.html if you are interested, all the books are online
11:20:40 * Mort- takes notes down
11:20:56 <Brunius> Hmm
11:21:15 * Mort- records - Steven told a new character to read a book when i play a gnome
11:21:18 <Brunius> Why would I bother getting this Arduino knock-off when an Arduino is $10 cheaper...
11:21:25 <kapow> I'm not in school i don't do home work anymore
11:21:54 <kapow> well technically i'm old
11:22:14 <Eric> 43+?
11:22:48 <kapow> she didn't say young so old doesn't refer to age just time
11:22:53 * Mort- reads that players should have free choice on what they choose to play
11:23:00 <Brunius> Hmm, I suppose it's smaller
11:23:44 <Mort-> And no one has any right to force a race/class on any player
11:24:11 <Brunius> Gnome Paladin, Mort-
11:24:14 <Brunius> You know you want to
11:24:48 <Mort-> No :d
11:25:02 <Mort-> Firstly no gnomes
11:25:17 <Mort-> Secondly I'm biased against paladins
11:25:23 <Hydrazine> g'day.
11:25:29 <Mort-> I hate any god telling me what to do
11:25:37 <Eric> g'evening
11:25:41 <kapow> so if i play a gnome paladin you wouldn't like me -.^?
11:25:50 <Hydrazine> She loves gnomes.
11:25:54 <Hydrazine> Especially when they give her hugs.
11:26:00 <Hydrazine> If you play a gnome, you gotta hug Mort.
11:26:02 <Mort-> I love hugs
11:26:17 <Eric> gnome Tetori?
11:26:19 <Mort-> I have no issues with gnomes once out of game
11:26:27 <Hydrazine> I got a tetori!
11:26:36 <Hydrazine> I don't recommend it, unless you got one hell of a design plan.
11:26:50 <Mort-> I mean once in game
11:27:02 <Eric> Reduce Person and disguise, and he can be a gnome
11:27:21 <Hydrazine> I shot guns today.
11:27:28 <Hydrazine> Did better than my dad. And they're his guns.
11:27:32 <Steven> yes because the god is going to come down from the heavens, tap you on the shoulder, and tell you exactly what to do.
11:27:42 <Steven> its what gods do right everybody?
11:27:47 <Brunius> Sure
11:27:50 <Brunius> Why not
11:28:01 <Eric> Hydra, what calibre?
11:28:21 <kapow> My gnome paladin believes they do! Don't knock his faith!
11:28:57 <Brunius> Reddit is down
11:29:00 <Brunius> Oh gods
11:29:03 <Brunius> What can I do
11:29:10 <Hydrazine> .30-30, .357 mag, and an FN Five-SeveN.
11:29:50 <kapow> minecraft
11:29:52 <Mort-> I have issues about gnomes when I'm not gaming
11:29:54 <Hydrazine> The .30-30 beat the shit out of my shoulder.
11:29:55 <kapow> when all else fails minecraft :P
11:30:42 <Eric> 35 years since I fired an FN. Not much interested these days. 'Cept in game of course
11:31:21 <Mort-> My dad told me recoil sucks
11:31:29 <Mort-> That's why you hold a pistol in 2 hands
11:31:40 <Hydrazine> The FN was pretty fun. Not too bad of a kick, really.
11:31:49 <Hydrazine> 20 round clip, you can go for a while on it.
11:32:18 <Hydrazine> But the recoil on the rifle was definately something. I almost nailed myself in the forehead on the scope.
11:32:34 <Hydrazine> And my shoulder still hurts.
11:33:18 <Eric> the 30-30 must be old, or you didn't seat it right
11:33:37 <Hydrazine> Or I never shot a rifle before.
11:34:00 <Eric> or that...
11:34:02 <Hydrazine> And I haven't shot anything at all in about 8 years.
11:35:09 <Brunius> Didn't they teach you to shoot rifleses in the military?
11:35:26 <Hydrazine> Nope!
11:35:40 <kapow> what branch?
11:35:49 <Hydrazine> I was Navy. Theres nowhere on a submarine you can really get much use out of a rifle.
11:36:28 <kapow> was about to say their are only a few jobs where you wouldn't of been taught to shoot a rifle
11:37:25 <Hydrazine> Disagree. Basic didn't cover rifles at all, and only I think two days with the service pistol.
11:37:43 <kapow> <--- Been trying to loose the last 5 kg's before i can go do physical for airforce
11:37:54 <Hydrazine> Aussie?
11:37:56 <kapow> yup
11:38:03 <Hydrazine> Yeah, I'm American.
11:38:14 <Hydrazine> http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f220/ookichinpoko/Me/DSC02824.jpg
11:38:21 <Hydrazine> Theres my target. 35yards.
11:39:23 <Hydrazine> We figure the smaller holes are from the 57. and the bigger from the .357. We're thinking the scope on the .30-30 was way off. That or the results look very similar to the revolver's.
11:39:47 <Hydrazine> You also get a look at my sheets.
11:39:51 <kapow> never shot a gun in my life
11:40:02 <kapow> bow though thats a different matter
11:40:12 <Eric> It's about clustering, if the scopes off they still cluster
11:40:14 <Hydrazine> I tried shooting a bow once. Hard as fuck, atleast the first time.
11:40:28 <Hydrazine> Unless its so off that I wasn't hitting the target at all, Eric.
11:41:03 <Mort-> Never tried that
11:41:14 <Eric> Your dad wouldn't make that kind of mistake I would think, ut yeah...
11:42:15 <kapow> the main thing most people have trouble with the first time they shoot a bow is drawing correctly
11:42:26 <Hydrazine> No game today huh?
11:42:30 <Mort-> Well
11:42:33 <Brunius> Apparently not
11:42:39 <Mort-> Mek said he could be persuaded
11:42:44 <Mort-> To run rebels ransom
11:42:55 <Mort-> If we have enough people
11:43:02 <Mort-> But its t5-9
11:43:05 <kapow> so many idiots draw and risk putting their shoulders out, or they can't straighten their elbow properly and risk slicing up their arm when they release
11:43:30 <Eric> usually rip their arm with the string. that's why it is a martial weapon and crossbow is simple
11:43:52 <Mort-> Isn't that why you wear archer guards!
11:44:01 <kapow> or they draw it then fire it without an arrow
11:44:09 mortswishytail ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
11:44:10 <kapow> that fucking pisses me of if someone does that
11:44:26 <kapow> you just fuck the bow doing that
11:44:28 <Brunius> Quite annoys me, too
11:44:51 <Eric> still makes a satisfying 'twang' though :)
11:45:30 <mortswishytail> Ok so are we going to try get organized and mostly run pregens?
11:45:32 <Hydrazine> I tried shooting a bow once. Couldn't hit a damn thing.
11:45:34 <mortswishytail> I could txt mek
11:45:45 <mortswishytail> I think i wouldn't be able to pull the bow
11:45:53 <mortswishytail> Choices people
11:46:22 <Eric> You probaly aimed flat, once you get used to the arc, it's relatively easy to at least hit the target
11:46:29 * mortswishytail kicks mort out
11:46:44 <mortswishytail> Ever done it before eric?
11:46:49 <Hydrazine> I had a problem with it going either left or right. Consistently to one side, I think it was left.
11:47:10 <mortswishytail> Correct you aim to more right then?
11:47:19 <Eric> yeah, as a kid and again about 20 years ago
11:47:24 <Hydrazine> Tried. Still sucked. But yeah, not much practice.
11:47:37 <kapow> my aunt and uncle are both national archers
11:47:54 Mort- has quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
11:48:02 <kapow> and my aunt has been to the olympics, also my old boss is national too
11:48:09 <kapow> i had good teachers
11:48:34 <kapow> mort you can get different weighted bows
11:48:39 <kapow> I us a 60 pound pull
11:48:44 <kapow> hich is on the higher scale
11:48:52 <kapow> but you can get lower
11:48:52 <mortswishytail> Guys. I have 10 str
11:49:16 <kapow> hydra do you sight with 1 or both eyes?
11:49:20 <mortswishytail> Mek
11:49:32 <mortswishytail> Says he will run something on lower tier
11:49:42 <kapow> and if your seeing kinda like doubles always aim at the one that has more colour in it
11:50:07 <kapow> mort you in brissy with mek?
11:50:11 <mortswishytail> I should head home or something maybe
11:50:13 <mortswishytail> Texting
11:50:14 <Eric> Always sight with one eye, and make sure it is proper one
11:50:19 <mortswishytail> Anything for pfs crack
11:50:54 <Hydrazine> I sighted with my right the whole time, though I keep both open. The idea of sighting on my left is just alien.
11:50:57 <kapow> I sight with both it's whats natural for me
11:51:43 <Eric> Most people are right eyed, you probably have just learned to ignore your left eye
11:51:53 <kapow> because i draw right hand but i am left
11:51:58 <mortswishytail> Uh oh

12:19:26 <AndChat-> Ok i am up for running prince of augusta in 1 h time
12:19:39 Mort- has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
12:19:40 <AndChat-> Now i need to run home in a mighty hurry
12:19:40 <Steven> the rise of the runelords hardcover aniversary thing
12:19:43 <AndChat-> Also
12:19:46 <Steven> totaly baws
12:19:51 <AndChat-> If there are enough people
12:20:01 <Eric> Tier?
12:20:12 <AndChat-> 1-5
12:20:18 <AndChat-> I'm running this a little rough
12:20:35 <AndChat-> So there will probably be some problems on the maps
12:20:39 <Eric> Hydra, you in?
12:20:42 <AndChat-> Have you played that before.h
12:21:02 <AndChat-> Eric?
12:21:07 <AndChat-> Ill have to really run
12:21:10 <Eric> no, I haven't
12:21:13 mortswishytail has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
12:21:21 <AndChat-> Site says bru hasn't either
12:21:29 <Steven> what are you running
12:21:38 <AndChat-> Prince of augusta
12:21:49 <AndChat-> Meks going to kill me
12:22:12 <AndChat-> But its the only scenario i can think off off hand that bru hasn't played
12:22:16 <AndChat-> And not too complicated
12:22:59 <AndChat-> Not dealing with a whole bunch of mechanics
12:24:05 <Eric> So far, we're not getting a lot of interest
12:24:25 <AndChat-> I think its enough to form party
12:24:35 <AndChat-> You hydra and bru
12:24:48 <AndChat-> How many things could go wrong in that scenario
12:24:51 <AndChat-> Hm
12:24:51 <AndChat-> Heh
12:24:59 * AndChat- gives an evil grin
12:25:25 <AndChat-> Nah not that many
12:25:27 <Eric> Use a pregen Kyra to round it out
12:26:08 <AndChat-> You can play Normal characters
12:26:34 Mort- ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
12:26:41 <Mort-> Oh well
12:26:49 <Mort-> Running home!
12:27:25 <Brunius> Wait, who said I was playing
12:27:33 <Mort-> You're not?
12:27:38 <Mort-> Ok then never mind
12:27:40 <Mort-> Steven
12:27:45 <Mort-> You playing?
12:27:52 <Steven> no.
12:27:55 <Mort-> Ok
12:28:02 <Mort-> Then i can forget about running anything
12:28:08 * Mort- ship
12:28:14 * Mort- sighs
12:28:51 * Mort- sighs
12:29:01 <Mort-> I'm available now to play actually
12:29:36 <Eric> still the same issue, we're the only two interested tonight
12:30:09 <Mort-> Hydra is ok with it
12:30:15 <Mort-> The problem is no gm
12:30:19 <Mort-> Urk.
12:30:33 <Mort-> If i gm i won't be able to play
12:30:59 <Brunius> I think we simply don't have enough people
12:31:00 * Mort- sighs
12:31:04 <Eric> Think Avatar will join?
12:31:16 <Mort-> He played that
12:31:31 <Mort-> Hard to find something that avatar hasn't played
12:31:33 <Brunius> Reddit is still down :(
12:31:39 <Mort-> Bru can't you pop in? :p
12:31:45 <Eric> I'm trying to think of who else was on a couple weeks ago this time slot
12:31:46 <Brunius> Avatar hasn't played much from season 0 I think
12:31:47 <Steven> hard to find something i havent played too
12:31:56 <Brunius> Mort-, even if I'm around, that's three people
12:32:04 <Mort-> That's enough :d
12:32:05 <Mort-> To run
12:32:07 <Mort-> Haha
12:32:08 <Brunius> You need four at minimum
12:32:10 AndChat- has quit (Ping timeout: 181 seconds)
12:32:12 <Brunius> three incl DM
12:32:13 <Mort-> Bring a pregen
12:32:26 <Mort-> Hydra is somewhere around
12:32:33 <Hydrazine> I am around.
12:32:52 <Mort-> Reason 0 i can run that i purpose
12:32:52 <Mort-> Suppose
12:32:57 <Mort-> Like tide of morning or something like that
12:33:20 <Mort-> But golly the preparations for that is fair extensive
12:33:29 <Steven> ive played or gmd 83 scenarios/modules
12:33:49 <Mort-> You aren't gming anything are you Steven?
12:33:52 <Steven> which doesnt include replays and gming for no credit
12:33:58 <Mort-> Bru are you interested?
12:34:02 <Steven> I gm twice a week
12:35:08 <Mort-> God
12:35:22 <Mort-> Bru can you ask avatar if he would be around?
12:35:31 <Mort-> I guess i could do tide of morning
12:35:42 <Steven> and you are more then welcome to join any of those games mort
12:35:47 <Steven> just show up down at the shop
12:36:17 <Mort-> Sure 8 k km away
12:37:45 <Eric> Closer than me, at least 24k km I think
12:38:17 <Mort-> Uh not so sure
12:38:20 <Mort-> Im in sg
12:38:33 <Mort-> Avatar around?
12:38:34 <Hydrazine> Closer than me.
12:38:44 <Mort-> Maybe my distances are wrong
12:39:35 <Hydrazine> Google says I'm 14.7 thousand KM from Brisbane.
12:39:39 * Mort- sighs
12:39:46 <Hydrazine> Or 9200 miles.
12:39:47 <Mort-> Steven is in usa
12:39:57 <Mort-> I think i screwed up distances
12:40:03 <Mort-> Anyway
12:40:23 <Mort-> In a typical mort fashion
12:40:33 <Hydrazine> Google says 6000 KM from Singapore to brissie.
12:40:58 <Mort-> Well
12:41:04 <Mort-> Steven lives in us
12:41:07 <Mort-> Of a
12:41:12 <Steven> yup
12:42:06 <Mort-> Can't believe no one down here played tide of mornidg
12:42:08 <Mort-> Gee
12:42:54 <Steven> ive played tide of morning
12:43:09 <Mort-> Ok except you
12:43:35 <Mort-> But that's an irritating one to gm. So many things to keep in mind i think
12:43:52 <Mort-> Uh cookies
12:54:08 <Avatar> yo
12:54:21 <Mort-> Hey
12:54:27 <Avatar> Eric: I owe you a chronicle sheet
12:54:28 <Mort-> If i run tide of morningx
12:54:31 <Avatar> can you give me your details
12:54:36 <Avatar> in pm
12:54:43 <Mort-> you interested?
12:54:49 <Avatar> not today
12:54:55 <Avatar> too short notice mort
12:54:58 <Mort-> Ok
12:55:00 <Mort-> Np
12:55:08 <Avatar> do you want to schedule it for next weekend
12:55:15 <Mort-> I'm flying off
12:55:20 <Avatar> where
12:55:21 <Mort-> Pretty soon
12:55:52 <Mort-> Italy
12:56:08 <Avatar> they have the internet in italy
12:56:09 <Mort-> Ok probably means we won't get anything off today
12:56:12 <Mort-> No
12:56:15 <Avatar> lol
12:56:22 <Mort-> Family stuff
12:56:30 <Avatar> bloody family stuff
12:58:36 * Mort- goes off to start packing
13:01:17 Mort- has quit (Quit: Bye)
13:01:53 <Avatar> kapow: roll up a character !!
13:02:18 <Hydrazine> We can help with rules questions.
13:02:19 Mort ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
13:07:18 ChanOP gives channel operator status to Avatar
13:08:23 Mort is now known as Mort-
13:17:37 <kapow> lol
13:17:42 <kapow> I don't know pathfinder avatar
13:17:43 * Mort- is a packingmur
13:17:45 <kapow> give me a hand?
13:18:10 <Hydrazine> How familiar are you with 3.5?
13:18:26 <Avatar> it's almost exactly 3.5
13:18:43 <Avatar> have a squizz through the rulebook
13:19:24 <kapow> alright i will and i am comfortable with 3.5
13:19:56 <Avatar> your account name was karag wasn't it
13:20:19 <kapow> no account name pretty sure was kapow
13:20:25 <kapow> i tried to get it back earlier
13:20:26 <Avatar> kapow isn't there
13:20:42 <kapow> it wouldn't send me my password to any of my email addresses
13:20:52 <kapow> and it wouldn't let me make an account with the name kapow because it was taken
13:21:05 <Hydrazine> Huh.
13:21:14 <kapow> my thoughts exactly
13:21:27 <Avatar> what was your character name last time
13:21:50 <kapow> utinunaur was the only 1 i could still find on the website still
13:21:56 <Hydrazine> Its pretty similar to 3.5. Special combat maneuvers got easier, mechanically, and the power curve is a bit higher. Most of the classes that didn't get anything interesting for class progression got something now.
13:22:10 <Avatar> katesh, that's right
13:22:26 <Hydrazine> Like fighters. Level 7 fighters can move full speed in full plate, for example.
13:22:32 <kapow> was one of the character names
13:22:40 <Avatar> always the k's
13:22:50 <kapow> pretty much
13:25:09 * Mort- is Packing for her trip
13:25:18 <Mort-> how long does it take you to pack for a 14 day trip hydra?
13:25:33 <Hydrazine> 2 hours?
13:26:02 <kapow> 25 minutes for me
13:26:06 <kapow> aslong as my washing is done
13:26:22 <Hydrazine> I'm including all my gadgetry and wires.
13:26:53 <Mort-> uh oh lol
13:27:50 <Mort-> or is it a girl thing..
13:28:37 <Steven> yeah or you can move in medium plate as soon as you get mithril armor
13:28:46 <Mort-> and mitril costs a bomb
13:29:00 <Steven> its why i pick archtypes that give up armor training
13:29:16 <Steven> no reason to have it
13:30:38 <Hydrazine> I'm done with fighters for a while.
13:32:45 <Steven> why? yours die?
13:34:33 <Mort-> I swear that if I had ot do this before every adventure Id never have anything done
13:35:58 * Mort- hugs hydrazine
13:37:17 <Hydrazine> Yeah. Dead is. Pretty simple really. Enemy made 5 saves in a row.
13:38:10 <Steven> that sucks mang
13:46:37 <Avatar> did jerus die?
13:46:54 <Mort-> yes.
13:47:14 <Avatar> what game
13:48:00 <Mort-> outside of here, masks of the living god part 2
13:48:25 <Avatar> I would've thought he'd have the prestige to res
13:48:51 <Mort-> not after dying once
13:48:51 <Hydrazine> Not after all the restorations from the last time he died.
13:49:03 <Avatar> oh this was the second time
13:49:11 <Avatar> that sucks man
13:55:18 <Steven> yeah, ive had one character death before
13:55:39 <Steven> learned my lesson and out of everybody at the shop i have the least character deaths
13:55:51 <Avatar> really
13:55:53 <Avatar> what's the lesson
13:55:59 <Steven> dont be stupid.
13:56:15 <Avatar> seems a bit subjective
13:56:21 <Steven> it is.
13:56:33 <Steven> but its a great rule to live by
13:56:58 <Mort-> I dont really think he was doing anything he wasnt supposed to do
13:57:04 <Steven> my friend andrew, he has a paladin named Thorphin/Thorfin something like that
13:57:13 <Mort-> and everyone does get into fixes now and then, and after that its your party to save your arse
13:57:14 <Steven> he has died 8 times
13:57:26 <Mort-> Hydra has sense really
13:57:38 <Mort-> shit happens sometimes I think :(
13:57:41 <Steven> yeah, but by not being stupid you can minimize the chances you will end up dying
13:57:52 <Steven> sometimes you do just die
13:58:32 <Steven> ive had several times that i probably should have died, but i didnt do something stupid, so i survived
13:58:55 <Steven> like trying to get one more hit in before i run, or letting myself get flanked
13:59:13 <Steven> i mean sometimes yeah, you do get flanked... that happens
13:59:43 <Steven> but people always try to be the super man
14:00:03 <Steven> so, dont be stupid and you live longer.
14:00:37 <Steven> most people down at the shop have 2-4 character deaths
14:00:42 <Steven> and then you have andrew with 8
14:00:47 <Steven> and a character in jail
14:01:03 <Steven> bwahahahaa, i put his charater in jail for killing a homeless dude
14:01:33 <Hydrazine> Jerus spent the entire encounter either grapped in water, or just in water and threatened. By something with grab and 50+ CMB rolls.
14:01:52 <Steven> ugh, that sucks big floppy dick
14:02:07 <Steven> what were you fighting tat had 50+CMB rolls?
14:02:57 <Hydrazine> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/animals/crocodile/dire-crocodile
14:03:10 <Hydrazine> oh, only +30 modifier. So +35 after first round. close enough.
14:03:24 <Steven> yeah... thats pretty tough...
14:04:19 <Steven> i got swallowed once...
14:05:10 <Steven> big fat remorhaz
14:05:21 <Steven> http://www.d20pfsrd.com/bestiary/monster-listings/magical-beasts/remorhaz
14:05:27 <Mort-> what are rules on using items while grappled
14:05:33 <Mort-> as in taking out things from your pck
14:05:34 <Mort-> pack
14:05:38 <Mort-> say if you get swallowed whole
14:07:27 <Eric> Make it easy to pour an Inflict Wounds potion though
14:08:06 <Mort-> I wasnt thinking of that
14:08:10 <Mort-> more like potion of gaesous form
14:08:13 <Mort-> fly away..
14:08:27 <Steven> ok back
14:08:45 <Steven> yeah i got swallowed with a remorhaz while under the effects of energy resistance
14:08:59 <Mort-> or what happend if for more hilarity, you poured a potion of gaesous form into the belly of a creature
14:09:02 <Mort-> while swallowed whole
14:10:11 <Steven> so yeah, i was in its stomach taking some damage plus fire damage
14:11:02 <Steven> and walter was so happy, he was like take 50 some odd damage
14:11:18 <Eric> Gaseous Form changes the creature and its gear, so anything in its stomach would also becomes gaseous and remain in the same relative position
14:11:26 <Steven> and i was like how much of that was fire damage?
14:11:43 <Mort-> I think if you drank the potion you turn into gas and you could fly out
14:11:55 <Mort-> but I was wondering if he changes into gas does htat mean..you can wlk out?
14:11:56 <Eric> One end or the other
14:12:06 <Steven> he was like 36 of it, i was like okay, ill take 20 points of damage
14:13:16 <Mort-> so now you will end up with 2 gases
14:13:23 <Mort-> but if you take the potion yourself you turn into a gas and fly out?
14:13:29 <Mort-> hrm
14:15:06 <Eric> I've played 26 and not lost a character or other player yet. I don't count Kyra as it was a 4am plan and a pregen, but none of the characters in her group died
14:15:53 <Mort-> it depends on what youre usually doing :(
14:16:09 <Mort-> I have a feeling melee characters have a shorter life expentancies then their non melee counterparts :(
14:17:05 <Eric> depends on whether they like to melee by themselves or are willing to wait for flankers to help out. Flank and Aid Other are potent combo
14:17:17 <Mort-> do you know someitmes parties go out iwth only one tank?
14:17:19 <Mort-> I had that yesterday
14:17:28 <Eric> Shield Other is also a fantastic spell for keeping melee types alive
14:17:38 <Mort-> we wiggled fingers our entire session
14:17:42 <Mort-> well except for one of us
14:17:44 <Avatar> isn't that the one where you take partial damage
14:18:04 <Eric> yeah, it's very efficient particularly when chanelling
14:18:11 <Avatar> oh mort would never cast that
14:18:13 <Avatar> never ever
14:18:25 <Mort-> yeah because I dont have a cleric :D
14:18:40 <Mort-> I cant cast it anyway
14:18:47 <Mort-> and yeah that guy would be considered as a SECONDARY tank for other parties
14:19:20 <Eric> No one does
14:19:41 <Avatar> if you were a cleric you would never cast it
14:20:00 <Eric> I used it to keep a 1st level Rogue alive because the DM didn't bring a 4th level pregen
14:20:14 <Mort-> firstly I dont do divine classes
14:20:55 <Mort-> so since Icant get that spell. screw it
14:21:02 <Mort-> at least hte only divine caster I have wont be able to cast it
14:21:08 <Mort-> and I dont even THINK of him as a divine caster
14:22:50 <Avatar> if you did do divine classes you would never cast it
14:23:21 <Eric> I view it as: once the tank goes, then goes the party.
14:24:31 <Mort-> mebbe
14:24:36 <Mort-> and avatar whats the thing about it with me :P
14:24:43 <Mort-> I just run off on one character
14:24:44 <Mort-> thats all
14:24:52 <Avatar> run off is right
14:24:53 <Mort-> just for variety sake
14:29:01 <Eric> One other thing I do is flee an encounter. D&Ders tend ot stand toe to toe in a death trap for some reason.
14:29:11 <Eric> I;ve never figured out why
14:29:27 Sachiru has quit (Quit: Shutting Down )
14:35:14 <Eric> It's pushin 1am, so I'm going to call it a night. send an invite if you have anything coming up next week.
14:35:44 Eric has quit (Quit: )
14:36:15 <Hydrazine> Fleeing wasn't an option here
14:39:06 * Mort- sighs sadly
14:39:16 <Mort-> its I think in this sense called having get out of jail free cards
14:39:22 <Mort-> were you generally grappled or swallowed whole
14:39:40 <Mort-> I think I know why people suggest to have a potion of gaseoius form on yourself :(

17:03:42 <Avatar> when did day z go into beta
17:03:46 <Avatar> has much changed since the alpha
17:03:51 <Brunius> It's in Beta?
17:03:54 <Brunius> Since when
17:03:55 <Avatar> apparently
17:04:02 <Avatar> http://www.arma2.com/beta-patch.php
17:04:04 <Avatar> have you not played it
17:04:07 <Brunius> That's ArmA 2
17:04:10 <Brunius> Not DayZ
17:04:15 <Avatar> oh shit
17:04:21 <Avatar> I thought that was pretty quick
17:04:24 <Brunius> Those beta patches are initial testing
17:04:34 <Brunius> You need that AND the dayz files
17:04:42 <Brunius> Setting it up the first time is a pita
17:05:38 <Avatar> do I still need that beta patch now
17:05:51 <Avatar> I assumed the whole game is out now
17:05:55 <Avatar> since it's on steam
17:06:03 <Brunius> You do need the beta patch
17:07:31 * Mort- hangs up Looking For Job again
17:07:35 * Mort- sighs
17:08:00 <Brunius> Reporting to two people too stressful?
17:09:15 <Avatar> reporting to one person is too stressful
17:11:11 <Brunius> How long have you been unemployed, anyway?
17:11:20 <Brunius> 9 months or something, isn't it?
17:12:45 <Mort-> Im still working
17:13:04 <Mort-> point is Im not doing anything at work..
17:13:06 <Mort-> so...
17:13:14 <Mort-> yeah time to go get a new job
17:13:17 <Mort-> again...
17:14:49 <Mort-> there are times that I wonder why cant I just get a perma job that I can live with
17:16:43 * Mort- sighs and her tail droops
17:19:35 paul_Banks ([email protected]) has joined #d&d
17:23:38 <Avatar> you don't have a tail
17:23:50 <Avatar> Brunius: almost 8 months
17:23:57 <Avatar> it's pretty sweet
17:24:56 <Brunius> You're fine living off welfare payments?
17:25:18 <Avatar> yeah this is the best way I decided
17:25:30 <Avatar> forget that whole work thing, what a joke !
17:25:54 <Brunius> Good thing not everyone does that - it'd collapse the whole system pretty quickly
17:25:55 <Mekkis> but what about the CARBON TAX?!
17:26:10 <Avatar> what about it?
17:26:16 <Mekkis> it will KILL US ALL!
17:26:22 <Mekkis> especially Avatar!
17:26:31 <Brunius> Enjoying your alarmism there?
17:26:31 <Avatar> seems overdramatic
17:26:47 <Mekkis> I've decided to see what it's like being a 'conservative'
17:27:02 <Brunius> What abouts gays?
17:27:09 <Brunius> What do you think of those?
17:27:12 <Mekkis> oh
17:27:24 <Mekkis> ummm
17:27:38 <Mekkis> "I'll toe the party line on that one"
17:27:40 <Mekkis> :S

17:44:23 <Avatar> the torrent isn't moving at all

17:46:30 <Avatar> er, less than
17:46:43 <Brunius> zipped up it's 141640kb
17:46:55 <Avatar> you don't want to send more than about 10 meg via email
17:46:58 <Avatar> and that's extreme
17:47:01 <Avatar> just send it over IRC
17:47:19 <Brunius> It's been established I can't dcc send
17:47:26 <Avatar> can you dropbox it
17:47:47 <Brunius> It'll take a while
17:47:55 <Avatar> yeah it'll take a wihle anyway
17:48:26 <Brunius> http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22217817/DayZ1715.zip
17:48:31 <Brunius> Link goes live in 20min
17:48:41 <Brunius> or, dropbox is telling me, more like 40min
17:49:09 <Avatar> cheers

18:13:12 <Hydrazine> I keep going in the hopes that somewhere along the way, I'll find a plot.
18:14:10 <Mort-> youre supposed to be asleep
18:14:18 * Mort- jumps onto hydra and tries to stuff him into bed
18:15:35 kapow has quit (Quit: )
18:16:08 <Hydrazine> Samsara! Samarra! / Grand! / I can walk away / from anything. / Everyone loves / the Dream but I kill it. / Atlas Mountain Cedars gush / over me: --Up Boogaloo! / I leep free this spring. / On fire. How my hair curls. / I'll destroy the World. / That's all. Big ruin all / around. With a wiggle. / With a waggle. A spin. / Allmighty sixteen and freeeeee. / Rebounding on bare feet. / Trembling Aspens are pretty here: / -You've nothing to lose. Go
18:16:09 <Hydrazine> ahead. / Have it all. / Tamarack Pines sway scared. / Appalled. Allso pretty. Perfumed. / Why don't I have any shoes?
18:16:49 <Hydrazine> A page from my book. The slashes are line breaks. All plants and animals are in bold, all Os are gold on this side.
18:17:25 * Mort- suspects the authors sanity should be questioned
18:17:32 <Mort-> and yeah Hydra. arent you supposed to be in bed?
18:17:37 <Hydrazine> I was. I was reading.
18:17:46 <Mort-> like Sleep and ZZs?
18:18:09 <Hydrazine> Sooner or later I'll figure out if I'm reading this book out of actual interest or sheer bullheaded determination.
18:18:54 <Hydrazine> But its pretty much all like that. Except I can tell when they're having sex.
18:20:21 <Mort-> what is the name of the book
18:20:26 <Mort-> and you mean someone acutally bought that stuff?
18:20:49 <Hydrazine> Only Revolutions.
18:21:06 <Mort-> Revolutions what?
18:21:15 <Hydrazine> The name of the book.
18:21:37 <Hydrazine> Which has 360 pages, and you have to read it from both directions.
18:21:49 <Hydrazine> And I think five colors.
18:24:36 <Hydrazine> I don't think I would try it at all, if it wasn't for the fact that I did read his first book, and I am in awe of his artisty. Hes trying new things with books, and I believe this to be worth investigating. Even if he tries my patience.
18:25:22 * Mort- blinks
18:25:46 <Mort-> I find that my choice of books is rpetty limited
18:25:52 <Hydrazine> Why?
18:25:53 <Mort-> gernreally I stick wint series/authors I like
18:26:05 <Mort-> liek I told you I dont really get wheel of time
18:26:08 <Hydrazine> Me too, but you got to branch out every now and then.
18:26:11 <Mort-> I genrally stay away from scifi
18:26:18 <Mort-> will want to read about dragons and knights
18:26:21 <Hydrazine> Neither did I. Bored me to tears.
18:26:28 <Mort-> will not read books with politcal intrigue
18:26:36 <Mort-> because I cant keep characters straight
18:26:48 <Hydrazine> I felt like, 3 books in, Nothing had happened, and it didn't feel like anything was happening, or was even going to happen.,
18:27:21 <Hydrazine> But what about Hitchhiker's guide? Thats sci fi.
18:28:32 <Hydrazine> Huh. No politics? That kills Ice and Fire and Dune, two of my favorite sets.
18:29:11 <Mort-> yeah
18:29:14 <Mort-> I tried dune before
18:29:17 <Mort-> cant..
18:31:42 S711 has quit (Quit: For England, James?)
18:31:44 <Hydrazine> I think after this I'm revisiting Haunted. Which is #1 of the three books my sister is not allowed to read.
18:31:50 <Mort-> why?
20:03:59 <Mekkis> Mort-, read Dragonflight

21:38:21 <Brunius> You guys should read Tomorrow, When The War began
21:38:29 <Brunius> and the 9 books after it
21:38:50 <Avatar> seen the movie
21:38:52 <Avatar> it was OK
21:38:58 <Brunius> The movie was bad
21:39:04 <Brunius> Read dem books
21:39:06 <Avatar> well I was trying to be polite
21:39:11 <Brunius> :P
21:39:22 <Brunius> Seen my PM?
21:39:31 <Avatar> yeah, I got it running thanks
21:39:42 <Avatar> I stil had my character with my ton of equipment, and then died
21:39:49 <Brunius> uh-oh
21:39:59 <Avatar> got stuck with my no-pistol joker with 2 zombies crossing the country with me
21:40:12 <Avatar> how the hell do you get rid of zombies by just running away
21:40:32 <Brunius> Duck behind fences
21:40:34 <Avatar> the only answer I can think of is, you don't, you're not supposed to get away, ever
21:40:46 <Brunius> If you see a barn you can run through that and ditch them
21:40:52 <Avatar> I can see rocket laughing thinking THAT'S THE BEAUTY OF IT
21:40:55 <Brunius> It was worse before they introduced "hiding" mechanics
21:41:00 <Brunius> You could never get away.
21:41:03 <Brunius> Ever.
21:41:12 <Brunius> They'd follow you all the way across the map
21:41:17 <Avatar> yeah that's what was happening
21:42:58 <Brunius> Apparently there's some bug where you can just stand in a tree
21:43:02 <Brunius> And they get stuck at the edge
21:43:08 <Brunius> Then you can crawl away or something
21:45:15 <Avatar> that seems kind of weird, considering you can't even stand in a building and have them get stuck at the walls
21:46:00 <Brunius> Yeah
21:46:08 <Brunius> Aww man, Brunius is taken on this game
21:46:12 <Brunius> What am I gonna sign up as
21:51:01 <Avatar> sign up to what
21:51:12 <Avatar> go oracle
21:51:24 <Brunius> Planetside 2 beta
21:51:34 <Brunius> Ended up going with BruniusAU
21:51:59 <Avatar> why not just Brunius
21:52:06 <Brunius> Because it was taken
21:52:14 <Avatar> isn't Brunius unique
21:52:19 <Brunius> Apparently not
21:52:21 <Avatar> who/what is Brunius
21:52:29 <Brunius> It's a random name I thought of
21:52:38 <Brunius> Apparently it's a french last name, too
21:52:58 <Brunius> Some actor's last name (he was french)
21:53:14 <Brunius> There's a Brunius on twitter
21:53:26 <Avatar> yeah but that's twitter, not the beta of a game I've never heard of

22:31:38 <Mort-> God
22:32:44 <Mort-> So i was in demon hunter form for a bit...
22:34:27 * Mort- grows a bow
22:40:01 <Mort-> I think i screwed up distances
22:40:07 <Mort-> Anyway
22:40:27 <Mort-> In a typical mort fashion
22:40:37 <Hydrazine> Google says 6000 KM from Singapore to brissie.
22:41:03 <Mort-> Well
22:41:08 <Mort-> Steven lives in us
22:41:12 <Mort-> Of a
22:41:16 <Steven> yup

22:42:13 <Mort-> Gee
22:42:58 <Steven> ive played tide of morning
22:43:13 <Mort-> Ok except you
22:43:40 <Mort-> But that's an irritating one to gm. So many things to keep in mind i think
22:43:56 <Mort-> Uh cookies

22:54:12 <Avatar> yo

22:54:40 <Avatar> in pm
22:54:47 <Mort-> you interested?
22:54:53 <Avatar> not today
22:54:54 ALL-AUSSIES-R-FILTHY-CONVICTS has quit (Quit: )
22:54:59 <Avatar> too short notice mort
22:55:02 <Mort-> Ok
22:55:04 <Mort-> Np
22:55:12 <Avatar> do you want to schedule it for next weekend
22:55:20 <Mort-> I'm flying off
22:55:24 <Avatar> where
22:55:24 <Avatar> that guy is always leaving just before I get back to ban him
22:55:25 <Mort-> Pretty soon
22:55:56 <Mort-> Italy
22:56:12 <Avatar> they have the internet in italy
22:56:14 <Mort-> Ok probably means we won't get anything off today
22:56:16 <Mort-> No
22:56:19 <Avatar> lol
22:56:26 <Mort-> Family stuff
22:56:34 <Avatar> bloody family stuff
22:57:44 <Steven> ip block?
22:58:40 * Mort- goes off to start packing
23:01:57 <Avatar> kapow: roll up a character !!
23:02:23 <Hydrazine> We can help with rules questions.
23:03:26 <Avatar> that's no fun
23:17:41 <kapow> lol
23:17:47 <kapow> I don't know pathfinder avatar
23:17:47 * Mort- is a packingmur
23:17:49 <kapow> give me a hand?
23:18:15 <Hydrazine> How familiar are you with 3.5?
23:18:30 <Avatar> it's almost exactly 3.5
23:18:48 <Avatar> have a squizz through the rulebook
23:19:28 <kapow> alright i will and i am comfortable with 3.5
23:20:00 <Avatar> your account name was karag wasn't it
23:20:23 <kapow> no account name pretty sure was kapow
23:20:29 <kapow> i tried to get it back earlier
23:20:30 <Avatar> kapow isn't there
23:20:46 <kapow> it wouldn't send me my password to any of my email addresses
23:20:56 <kapow> and it wouldn't let me make an account with the name kapow because it was taken
23:21:10 <Hydrazine> Huh.
23:21:19 <kapow> my thoughts exactly
23:21:31 <Avatar> what was your character name last time
23:21:54 <kapow> utinunaur was the only 1 i could still find on the website still
23:22:00 <Hydrazine> Its pretty similar to 3.5. Special combat maneuvers got easier, mechanically, and the power curve is a bit higher. Most of the classes that didn't get anything interesting for class progression got something now.
23:22:15 <Avatar> katesh, that's right
23:22:30 <Hydrazine> Like fighters. Level 7 fighters can move full speed in full plate, for example.
23:22:36 <kapow> was one of the character names
23:22:44 <Avatar> always the k's
23:22:54 <kapow> pretty much
23:25:13 * Mort- is Packing for her trip
23:25:22 <Mort-> how long does it take you to pack for a 14 day trip hydra?
23:25:38 <Hydrazine> 2 hours?
23:26:06 <kapow> 25 minutes for me
23:26:10 <kapow> aslong as my washing is done
23:26:27 <Hydrazine> I'm including all my gadgetry and wires.
23:26:57 <Mort-> uh oh lol
23:27:55 <Mort-> or is it a girl thing..
23:28:41 <Steven> yeah or you can move in medium plate as soon as you get mithril armor
23:28:51 <Mort-> and mitril costs a bomb
23:29:05 <Steven> its why i pick archtypes that give up armor training
23:29:20 <Steven> no reason to have it
23:30:43 <Hydrazine> I'm done with fighters for a while.
23:32:49 <Steven> why? yours die?
23:34:37 <Mort-> I swear that if I had ot do this before every adventure Id never have anything done
23:36:03 * Mort- hugs hydrazine
23:37:21 <Hydrazine> Yeah. Dead is. Pretty simple really. Enemy made 5 saves in a row.
23:38:14 <Steven> that sucks mang
23:46:42 <Avatar> did jerus die?
23:46:58 <Mort-> yes.
23:47:18 <Avatar> what game
23:48:05 <Mort-> outside of here, masks of the living god part 2
23:48:29 <Avatar> I would've thought he'd have the prestige to res
23:48:55 <Mort-> not after dying once
23:48:55 <Hydrazine> Not after all the restorations from the last time he died.
23:49:08 <Avatar> oh this was the second time
23:49:16 <Avatar> that sucks man
23:55:21 <Steven> yeah, ive had one character death before
23:55:43 <Steven> learned my lesson and out of everybody at the shop i have the least character deaths
23:55:55 <Avatar> really
23:55:57 <Avatar> what's the lesson
23:56:03 <Steven> dont be stupid.
23:56:19 <Avatar> seems a bit subjective
23:56:25 <Steven> it is.
23:56:37 <Steven> but its a great rule to live by
23:57:03 <Mort-> I dont really think he was doing anything he wasnt supposed to do
23:57:08 <Steven> my friend andrew, he has a paladin named Thorphin/Thorfin something like that
23:57:18 <Mort-> and everyone does get into fixes now and then, and after that its your party to save your arse
23:57:18 <Steven> he has died 8 times
23:57:30 <Mort-> Hydra has sense really
23:57:42 <Mort-> shit happens sometimes I think :(
23:57:45 <Steven> yeah, but by not being stupid you can minimize the chances you will end up dying
23:57:56 <Steven> sometimes you do just die
23:58:37 <Steven> ive had several times that i probably should have died, but i didnt do something stupid, so i survived
23:59:00 <Steven> like trying to get one more hit in before i run, or letting myself get flanked
23:59:17 <Steven> i mean sometimes yeah, you do get flanked... that happens
23:59:48 <Steven> but people always try to be the super man
