Age : There's no reliable scientific way to calculate the relationship between human and cat years, but it's generally agreed that the first two years of a cat's life are roughly equal to the first 25 of a human's, and after this, each additional year is around four 'cat years'.

so I'm 6.5

I don't understand - we are but a simple wholesome, small town, family-run nipple piercing studio. I think you are in the wrong place.

So you can't be sure if I'm dead.... hmmm... I'll just keep posting then :pac:

Posting out of character. You're beaten severely. You can't feel your legs. Because your hands came off. They were your milk hands though, hang in there, your grown up hands will come through. You are given a pillow to put your hands under when you go to bed. It's somewhere in this room. If you are indeed in a room, and if indeed that was a pillow.

Necro

I crawl towards the pillow, as if I knew where the heck I was.

I never said there was a floor. You are falling.

Necro

I attempt to tuck and roll when I hit the bottom.

Banjo

Let me finish!
...in love with the guard. Jane. His name is really Dustin but with all the ****e on your head there's no way to communicate that to you.

Fraternising with the guards is forbidden. You are sentenced to death except you were killed earlier for a spelling error. Your sentence is reduced to life. You roll an 8 but land on a stop square after 4. Choose night school or keep your job. In either case roll again.

Necro

I gesture to the guards, can't roll my milk hands haven't grown in yet.

Using my buttcheeks I fire out a chocolate die. It's a 3.

What guards? You are a blue peg. You forfeit your turn for not choosing a path. The children in the back of the car are crying. Why is the car stopped? Why is daddy not moving? Where is mommy and what's that smell?

Night school or Keep your job. Choose! CHOOSE!

Necro

Night school. I'm now learning how to be a Dog Whisperer like Cesar Millan

Banjo

The sign in the dog library reads "silence". The dog librarian gives you a withering look, she is tired of your hijinks. Dog security escort you out where that old buddy fuddy, Dog Dean Carruthers tells you that you are flunking out of your course and he's going to shut down Phi Beta Kennel in 3 days unless you come up with 3000 dog dollars.

Banjo

If like me you're going a little doolally being forced to deal with the "real" world, with no hope of mashing people's faces together and making their bones grow so fast they come out the tops of their heads, a couple of things worth looking at in the off-season :

1. Since most of us multiclassed, have you looked at the saving throws for your 2-3 available classes at the appropriate levels? You get to pick the most favourable save, far as I know, and for example even though there's a couple of levels difference between them, Vivimancers have a better save vs death than clerics. Make sure you're using your best numbers. The same goes for your Attack values.

2. Are you a Cleric or Magic User? If you said no, Hi Molly! For the rest of you, don't forget that new spells got introduced in the Advanced Edition companion. Clerics for example get an additional 22 spells, including the ability to see the future at level 3 with Augury or create a button that electrocutes people at level 5 with Glyph of Warding. Read the damned book!

3. The Advanced manual also includes a cost for a brick of cheese. Why not figure out how many you need to build a cheese house? As some of us have hit or are approaching Level 9 where keeps and towers become options, these kinds of concerns are becoming pressing.

Any other helpful hints and tips to get us through the long bleak nights ahead?

Is there anything that can actually kill Bandy/Ekbard/Goodie at this point?

Ekbard has mooned death a good few times where I fully expected him to die.
Goodie faced off two consecutive instant-death no questions asked spells.
BandyLegs, as mentioned, has actually died, but once Ekbard saved him from his faith.

At this point though BandyLegs is very hard to hurt and Ekbard is very hard to survive for enemy NPCs. In Gygax's original design the game basically ended at Level 8 or 9. In modern editions Level 8 and 9 aren't quite so powerful and correspond closer to this editions Level 5.

I'll say a bit about the higher levels soon....

Tigger

In hospital visiting be back at 8!

Fourier

I'm off. Turns out I'm busy tomorrow rather than today, so back on Sunday.

Fourier

Mental note: Don't be absent for so long in future :pac:

Necro

When the DM is away, the dwarves get married and the vampires spontaneously combust

Banjo

Recap
Goodie was peppering a paladin, but there are questions around how init and actions work if he was blown back out of view/ range; Ekbard was about to be told what the deal is with Zassanite hospitality, Flak has his diamond but is about to get cooked, Kal is looking for the rose, Othegre needs to be told where the beast pits are, 2 dwarf retainers never returned from the market, no one will let Kim in the bar, you need to write up Ash's taking potentially-non-or-semi-consensual advantage of Bandy in excruciating detail and Moy still owes us a Dex roll.

Necro

No one needs to write up any rate-daping.. let's keep it kosher fellow D&Ders. (May have deliberately misspelt the words)

Fourier

She then regards the young lad Bandy has dragged over, the way a hungry dog might regard an unattended sausage.

"you know, before the sun goes down, I have a fully functional vagina"

The act is about to be performed

Lads, I'll be frank....

I think the time you spend here is wasted, this game only serves to distract from your true calling, writing erotic fantasy fiction.

No no no. I never planned a sex scene! No one wants to read that!

If this is happening, this song needs to be included in the aftermath - Greatest. Song. Ever. :pac:

Banjo

Holy crap - just re-reading last nights details, the stuff about the map that I only skimmed the first time around. I had an argument with my wife 3 years ago about how Game of Thrones would end and it sounds like our D&D world is based on similar principles but upside down.... freaky.

Necro

To Bandylegs,

The most beautiful dwarf alive now apparently.

Necro

Fourier, that monster we faced last night...

What the hell was it's actual HP? It survived several rounds of nuking by Ekbard!

Fourier

350HP, but with regenerative abilities and the ability to cancel certain damage.

Fourier

New thread up

Necro

Ah ok. Doesn't seem that much when you put it that way but the regen etc makes it a tank.

Nega level presumably? Although Bandy, Ekbard and Goodie are probably able for Nega stuff to a degree... and the level 8 Samurai now I'd say...

Fourier

Well end of Flak as far as this story goes.
