(62) GM (enter): 21:19
(53) Bribri: brihi?
(62) Scern: hey
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (62) Scern...
(62) Scern: I'm having thoughts of investigating alternatives before nailing down with an elven swashbuckler
(62) Scern: dead room?
(53) Bribri: sortof, just waiting for everyone to show up haha
(53) Bribri: Hmm what other ideas do you have?
(62) Scern: oh, I meant as in server=dead....good to see that it isn't
(62) Scern: don't know yet
(64) Saeda (enter): 21:26
(65) Melius (enter): 21:26
(62) Scern: Tis up for discussion
(64) Saeda: Hey there everyone :-)
(64) Saeda: Quiet lot tonight :-/
(53) Bribri: Uhh brihi
(62) Scern: I'm musing about character ideas
(62) Scern: Saeda = ?
(65) Melius: sry, just got here because teh baby is antsy
(64) Saeda: Kavil
(65) Melius: tkavil
(53) Bribri: Well a noble can be alot of thing shonestly, Rogue, Swashbuckler, Sorcerer, wizard .
(62) Scern: Melius must be bruiser
(64) Saeda: Yeppers
(65) Melius: oui oui
(65) Melius: so what's up for discussion?
(64) Saeda: My vote would be for something magey, but only if you don't have a preference
(62) Scern: my character
(65) Melius: well, we coudl use a wizard/sorceror
(65) Melius: or if you'd rather be a cleric/druid, i can be the wizard
(62) Scern: yeah I've given that some thought, but I think Twen's resourcefullness would put me to shame
(64) Saeda: Twen is an exceedingly good mage
(64) Saeda: But he's not here *snickers*
(62) Scern: no clerics fine for you....not looking to displace anyone here, just interesting in playing with alternatives
(53) Bribri: Haha thanks =P
(62) Scern: Kavil took the transgendered role eh?
(65) Melius: it's no biggie, i'm actually going ot play an arcaen disciple
(53) Bribri: who are we missing? Thoben and... aura?
(64) Saeda: *shruggles*
(65) Melius: well, thoben aka bane
(65) Melius: i doubt aurora is going to show
(64) Saeda: I honestly don't really care which gender I play
(62) Scern: oh well I saw "Reading her book"
(64) Saeda: DMed for too long with too many female NPCs for it to bother me
(64) Saeda: Saeda is a girl yes
(64) Saeda: And she does read a lot
(64) Saeda: Although not so much in a Jilan/Twen sense *chuckles*
(62) Scern: Ahh but not in this game?
(65) Melius: so what exactly are you?
(64) Saeda: Urban Ranger
(65) Melius: i couldn't treally tell form your backgroun
(65) Melius: ahh
(64) Saeda: Was going to multiclass a bit, but the variant actually fits her really well
(65) Melius: well, scern coudl be a fleshcrafter
(62) Scern: I saw investigator lingo, so I thought you were gonna be that?
(65) Melius: ;)
(64) Saeda: Maybe a level two in fighter at some point but I'm not certain
(70) Bane (enter): 21:33
(65) Melius: just kidding
(64) Saeda: She is an investigator
(62) Scern: ahh
(70) Bane: greetings
(65) Melius: hell bane
(53) Bribri: Brihi =P
(64) Saeda: Hey there Bane
(56) Karandras: alright back
(70) Bane: Hellbane....hmmm
(56) Karandras: heya all
(64) Saeda: Just in time
(65) Melius: damn, now i gotta remember all new names to people
(70) Bane: I have wonderful news
(64) Saeda: *laughs*
(65) Melius: oh?
(53) Bribri: What would that be?
(70) Bane: I'm currently running on my FREAKING NEW CPU!
(64) Saeda: *cheers*
(65) Melius: YAH!!
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (64) Saeda...
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (65) Melius...
(70) Bane: arrived at 2:30, was installed at 2:35, lol
Attempting to assign the role of PLAYER to (70) Bane...
(65) Melius: lol
(62) Scern: Aurora isn't gonna make it?
(62) Scern: :-(
(65) Melius: no idea
(64) Saeda: Doesn't appear so :-/
(53) Bribri: Late maybe, said person is on aim but yea..
(56) Talen: Saeda I think you and me are going to best of buds, lol
(64) Saeda: Lucky for you Saeda is lenient when it comes to thieves ;-)
(65) Melius: no idea how i fiut in though
(64) Saeda: And it makes perfect leverage for her to force you to be her informant ;-)
(56) Talen: i've got it all worked out, you and me can do business together
(65) Melius: u steal it and sell itto me?
(56) Talen: hmm.... not a bad idea
(56) Talen: gulable cleric, ya sure
(56) Talen: no, i know things and Saeda can keep the law off me in exchange
(62) Scern: so what all human's one dwarf?
(53) Bribri: without you, yea
(56) Talen: oh I see the dwarf and elf getting along so well
(64) Saeda: How LOTR of you *snickers*
(65) Melius: one sec
(56) Talen: lol, well we got a high class noble elf and a rugged wilderness hermit grumpy dwarf, need i say more
(70) Bane: brb
(62) Scern: Bri, what were your ideas about switching over to the duelist from swashbuckler again at higher level?
(64) Saeda: Sounds like a natural progression if you ask me :-/
(53) Bribri: Basicly I was going to allow you to start taking Duelist at lvl 5 or 10 with no requirments involved
(62) Scern: what's the prereq's for duelist again?
(53) Bribri: As Swashbucklers later levels are rather underpowerrd.
(65) Melius: back, but i may have to go if the baby gets more fussy
(65) Melius: for a couple minutes
(62) Scern: what you don't have it trained when to cry yet? you must have missed that chapter
(65) Melius: lol, trust me, we;'ve been trying
(65) Melius: but she did flp over yesterday, kinda funny really
(62) Scern: lol...yeah all those milestones are cool
(65) Melius: she's not even a month old, so it was a bit surprising
(62) Scern: may have been an accident! lol
(65) Melius: Bane, how'd you got from 39 VP to 16?
(65) Melius: yah, possibly
(65) Melius: where'd everyone go?
(56) Talen: in the immortal words of Thoben, "BOOBAGE", there I said it
(53) Bribri: Still here =P
(65) Melius: ha ha ha
(64) Saeda: Heh
(65) Melius: so what are we trying to accomplish tonight?
(62) Scern: what's a hexblade?
(64) Saeda: World domination
(56) Talen: playing some poker and me winning again
(65) Melius: just finish our characters, get the background together, stuff liek that?
(53) Bribri: Hexblade? uhh basicly a fighter class with a few crappy curses.
(53) Bribri: Basicly that is what we're doing yea =P
(53) Bribri: Most of you have a basic idea here, though Scern has yet to make a section for his character.
(56) Talen: but still an elf noble?
(65) Melius: I'm not sure what to take as my other 1st level feat
(56) Talen: related to me a lil too much...
(56) Talen: *that is* related to me...etc
(70) Bane: Yes, if I'm remembered for nothing else, I'd like to be rememberred for "Boobage"
(62) Scern: Yes still an elven noble
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(56) Talen: well you did say it
(62) Scern: I can't pass up the opportunity to spew random elven sayings from my elven dictionary
(65) Melius: lol
(70) Bane: All I'm saying is "the man look a like a woman"
(62) Scern: Bane...what are you talking about?
(56) Talen: and looking at it more closely I agree, but you still said it and i'm being inmature and finding it funny
(65) Melius: i'm lost, but ok
(70) Bane: Talen's pic on his e3profiler
(62) Scern: ahh
(70) Bane: He has boobage :)
(56) Talen: originally i thought it was a young guy and never noticed the 'boobage'
(70) Bane: LOLOLOL
(62) Scern: definitely...major boobage
(56) Talen: well I'm sorry for not caring enough to look close enough
(64) Saeda: They do look quite feminine *chuckles*
(62) Scern: too bad I couldn't be a bladesinger....they're always running around trying to save the elven race and well...doesn't fit with my character idea
(56) Talen: boobage?...and I thought i was the one suposed to still be highschool
(65) Melius: bane ccant' figure out how many vp
(65) Melius: 's he has ha ha
(64) Saeda: Some of us never grow up ;-)
(56) Talen: lol
(62) Scern: hey don't talk about Thoben that way Kavil
(70) Bane: what can I say boobs make me silly
(62) Scern: ;-)
(64) Saeda: *laughs*
(56) Talen: agreed
(56) Talen: i explained to Thoben why I wouldn't change the pic
(64) Saeda: Talen is actually a girl in disguise?
(70) Bane: brb
(56) Talen: you wish, Agent Scully
(62) Scern: cross-dresser.....check for the Adam's apple I say
(53) Bribri: Ha...
(65) Melius: well, when we decide to actually get stuff done, let me know ha ha
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(53) Bribri: Yes yes I know, I'm here and paying attention now
(53) Bribri: Looks like Aurora couldn't make it, or is still fearfull of you people for some reason.
(64) Saeda: We are a scary lot
(56) Talen: so do I have the trench?
(62) Scern: eh?
(65) Melius: no offense, but how would she know, she was there for liek a session and a half ha ha
(56) Talen: Kavil, you scared her with your overwhelming superiority
(64) Saeda: :-(
(53) Bribri: Umm because I talked to her on aim?
(53) Bribri: or him
(53) Bribri: whatever it may be haha
(56) Talen: we don't know, maybe she's the crossdresser?
(62) Scern: It was our non-stop chatter!! lol
(53) Bribri: But yea, I gtalked to Auro on aim, told me earlier that s/he might not be able t o make it.
(53) Bribri: As for the actualy subject at hand, first things first, in what ways do your characters currently know each other? And which dotn have relations beyond the game at the moment?
(65) Melius: I have no relations of any sort
(65) Melius: at least none i can think of
(64) Saeda: Well Saeda undoubtedly ran into Talen from time to time and has likely used him as an informant by holding a jail sentence over his head :P
(62) Scern: I have quite an extensive family history in town and I probably would know Talen if I recognized him
(56) Talen: Well if everything is still the same as i remember it, I should know Scern and Saeda
(53) Bribri: Well talen ended up geting otssed at the street 10 years ago, it's old news but his family name is still stained.
(53) Bribri: though 10 years isn't quiet as much to an elf haha
(53) Bribri: Even with the cut down ages.
(56) Talen: But remeber Bri about what we talked about that day
(62) Scern: well he's changed alot in 10 yrs and as I understand he'd probably not be advertising his family history
(53) Bribri: You'll have to be more specificly,. I've been talking alot about this game the past few days.
(56) Talen: he probably knows me by more than my family, lol
(53) Bribri: Yes i know, you're hanging with his half-sister, you mean that?
(62) Scern: would I know about that?
(56) Talen: well yeah
(56) Talen: no idea if you know
(62) Scern: ok let me say this....it isn't your intention that anyone would find out about that, right?
(56) Talen: right, me pretty sneaky
(56) Talen: speaking of, Bri didn't you finally decide to merge Hide and Move Silent?
(62) Scern: obviously you know who I am though
(53) Bribri: Hmm was debating that and the same for listen and spot, depends on the partys over all thoughts on it.
(64) Saeda: The biggest thing with both of those is they're invariable used together 9 times out of 10, so I'd be for it
(70) Bane: back
(62) Scern: I think hide and move silent have two distinct purposes....but they do generally get rolled together all the time
(70) Bane: (sorry, wife just got home from work....trying to get kids to bed, etc...)
(53) Bribri: Not a problem Thoben =P
(65) Melius: Bane, what do you think for 1st level feat, Imp, Init or Magical APtitude
(53) Bribri: What about listen and spot?
(64) Saeda: My thoughts applied to both
(70) Bane: what are you cleric
(65) Melius: kinda
(62) Scern: yeah and if you just want to listen instead of spot, no biggy......the only thing is: What if I get a bonus +2 to my listen from some feat or whatever....this would give me an automatic +2 to spot as well?
(65) Melius: arcane disciple
(70) Bane: mag-ap
(65) Melius: that's what i was think
(65) Melius: ing
(65) Melius: nice ot have 3 feats at 1st level
(65) Melius: ha ha
(53) Bribri: Assuming the same feat didn't grant the same bonus to spot =P
(62) Scern: right
(64) Saeda: Which a lot of them do :P
(53) Bribri: Yea
(65) Melius: well, alertness is spot adn listen, so it's ok
(53) Bribri: though to be honest, who's grabing skill feats anyway?
(64) Saeda: The skill feats would need to be either disallowed or reworked as is
(65) Melius: (raises ahnd) I am I am!!
(64) Saeda: Athletics broke quite a few of them
(70) Bane: what about if a trait or flaw reduces one portion of the new skill?
(64) Saeda: Not that that's a bad thing :P
(53) Bribri: Haha thats true too hmm.
(62) Scern: the other thing is with MS...usually your armor penalty hurts that and it would also end up hurting your hide ability too....no very realistic (maybe if it was shiney armor)
(53) Bribri: Well just because the skills use the same ranks dosen't mean they can't be used for their seperate purposes anymore.
(65) Melius: but hide gets an armor check penalty too
(64) Saeda: That's what I was going to say :P
(53) Bribri: Skill bonuses from feats, and traits gain the bonus, or penality given when being used for that aspect of the skill.
(56) Talen: It really doesn't matter to me, it just makes me better if you allow it that's all. "Me a skill whore? Nonsense! But I did just steal everything you own, spotted that horde of orcs coming this way, and disappeared"
(62) Scern: shows how much I pay attention to the details
(53) Bribri: Does that work?
(62) Scern: rules are just guidelines damnit
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(64) Saeda: It works Bri, but I think the occasions it applies will be pretty rare
(64) Saeda: Most feats and factors apply to both 9 times out of 10
(62) Scern: right
(64) Saeda: And I don't think anyone will be taking skill feats anyhow :P
(53) Bribri: That should save a handfull of you some skill poitns I imagin heh.
(65) Melius: liek i said, the only issue i coudl see was in athletics, because swim is a double penalty and the other two are only single
(65) Melius: I'm taking Magical Aptitude
(65) Melius: unless osmeone has a better idea for a feat
(64) Saeda: I'm still struggling with my own feats :-/
(53) Bribri: spell casting prodogy? Caster stat is treated as +2 for purposes of casting only (bonus spells DCs etc)
(53) Bribri: It's a lvl 1 only feat, a handy one
(56) Talen: Well aren't i lucky already done with the feats
(65) Melius: well, i've laready got spontaenous healer , scribe scroll adn craft wonderous item
(65) Melius: where's that?
(53) Bribri: I think it's int he FR guide.. as well as a few others, I mostly just get my feats from crystal keep.
(65) Melius: ahh
(62) Scern: brb nature calls
(53) Bribri: But what I said basicly sums it up completely ha
(53) Bribri: except it's level one only logicly, and only applies to one casting stat, not two if you happen to have multiple casting stats.
(56) Talen: and i suddenly imagin Scern as one of those bears in that toilet paper commercial
(53) Bribri: Ha.
(65) Melius: you mean arcane or divine?
(53) Bribri: ... no.. just.. multiple casting stats, like if you multiclassed wizard/sorc, it wouldn't apply to both int and charisma.
(65) Melius: ahh
(65) Melius: so if i took it, i'd pick wis
(53) Bribri: Yes
(65) Melius: hmm, have ot think about it
(53) Bribri: You also need some mroe relations in the party so you aren't a total recluse... at least two per player would be best I think.
(53) Bribri: maybe just one for the grumpy dwarf =P
(65) Melius: lol, i can't come up with one ha ha
(62) Scern: there is another awesome feat for multiclass casters...adds +4 to caster level for spellcasting
(53) Bribri: Well...
(53) Bribri: Saedas father was a wizard, a diviner to be specific.
(65) Melius: i'm nto a multi-class caster
(56) Talen: and I'm a beggar and you work for a church
(53) Bribri: His faith could of easily been that of Boccob and he would of draged his family there from time to time.. you might of known Saeda when you were kids.
(64) Saeda: Describe Boccob again
(65) Melius: perhaps
(53) Bribri: A church of the god of magic is NOT ap lace beggars would go.
(53) Bribri: a place*
(65) Melius: he's uncaring
(64) Saeda: Ah that does it right there *chuckles*
(65) Melius: god of magic
(53) Bribri: Not a complete jackass, but pretty apthetic, magic is what matters to the guy.
(65) Melius: and knowledge
(64) Saeda: And yes Saeda's father would have taken her there from time to time
(64) Saeda: Less so as it became apparent she lacked magical talent
(65) Melius: but since i was left on the doorstep, i'm not like most of the clerics ther,e i actually care, so people tend ot try adn see me first
(53) Bribri: Melius might of met Saeda when they were yougner then.. but that would be a good few years back.
(64) Saeda: So the two of them may have become childhood friends who lost touch for a while and have been catching up since she joined the poker games
(53) Bribri: When Saeda was still a pretty girl with hopes of marrying some prince =P
(64) Saeda: *laughs*
(65) Melius: so we may knwo of each other, but not know her very well
(64) Saeda: Not an altar boy though ;-)
(53) Bribri: Which I have no doubt broke Meluses heart.
(64) Saeda: *snickers*
(64) Saeda: Nah she was a nice girl at that age, she wouldn't have spurned him but was probably a bit too shy despite that
(56) Talen: well I'd look like a prince if I had Scern's money, lol
(53) Bribri: haha not an issue for the time being =P
(56) Talen: exactly
(65) Melius: i was, i wouldn't have bene interested in women at the time anyways
(64) Saeda: *chuckles* I'm pretty sure the whole "prince" thing was figurative Talen ;-)
(53) Bribri: Pfft, thats no fun XP
(53) Bribri: Anyway.
(56) Talen: you notice the 'lol'
(65) Melius: i'm interestedin the redhead now anyway sha ha
(64) Saeda: *laughs*
(56) Talen: weren't you interested in a redhead last game?
(65) Melius: yes, I liek redheads in real life to ha ha
(53) Bribri: pfft =P
(53) Bribri: Anyway~
(65) Melius: bri coudl always make me friends with aldon somehow too
(53) Bribri: Hmm Aldon is a cobler.. with no talent in magic what so ever...
(56) Talen: hmm, well I know a girl who likes redheads, other girl that is
(65) Melius: ah, ok
(65) Melius: scratch that
(53) Bribri: Gizzen is a blacksmith, who was a warrior in his youth... and to be honest he's pretty much retired from blacksmithing as well
(65) Melius: well, mayeb i can be friends with scern if he decides what eh want sot be
(53) Bribri: If Scren goes magical, assuming Aurora doesnt ha
(64) Saeda: Should we aim towards having connections with Aldon and Gizzen as well?
(53) Bribri: Which Aurora likely will at this point.
(53) Bribri: You can if you wish =P
(62) Scern: s/he 's gonna go magic?
(62) Scern: what class is Bane?
(65) Melius: fighter i think
(53) Bribri: Most likely, s/he has alot of ideas, and was going to be whatever fits the group more likely then not.
(53) Bribri: Banes a fighter
(56) Talen: well just to put it out there, mostly becuase I have nothing else to do, whenever at the poker game I tend to have a pretty nice book and reading it while we play, but I still occasionally win, so Hah!
(53) Bribri: We have fighter, ranger, cleric, Rogue not counting you or Aurora
(70) Bane: who's the ranger
(64) Saeda: That'd be me
(65) Melius: kavil i think
(56) Talen: mysterious, Ooo...
(53) Bribri: Urban ranger =P
(64) Saeda: Wee!
(70) Bane: and boobage is the rogue
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(70) Bane: :)
(56) Talen: i think that should be the dwarf's word of the week
(62) Scern: Talen = rogue, Saeda = Ranger, Melius = Cleric, Bane = Fighter, Aurora = Magic Type....right?
(64) Saeda: Yeppers
(53) Bribri: Most likely, I can't be sure on Aurora of course, a little skitish that one
(65) Melius: i could know aldon by making magic boots for him on occasoin ha ha
(64) Saeda: We're a pretty frontline heavy group
(65) Melius: i'm very non-front line
(64) Saeda: Ah
(53) Bribri: And by magic type I mean d4 casters like Psion, Wizard, Sorcerer.
(64) Saeda: Well Saeda's got a big sword and she knows how to use it ;-)
(53) Bribri: As for psionics, which I have yet to mention much I'll only really allow two kinds =P
(70) Bane: :0
(64) Saeda: *snickers*
(70) Bane: Bane has a big...well nevermind
(65) Melius: well, i can cast a couple arcane spells
(62) Scern: ick...psionics
(62) Scern: skull?
(53) Bribri: Soul blade as a basicly a magic fighter style varient, and Psion if you be something more traditional that works in a fantasy world.
(53) Bribri: Say psion for example
(53) Bribri: err
(53) Bribri: Seer*
(65) Melius: eh, i always thought psionics was annoying
(64) Saeda: They're very hit or miss
(64) Saeda: Concept wise
(62) Scern: my sentiments exactly
(53) Bribri: Ehn they're alright, but I'm only allowing them in a limited manner.
(64) Saeda: Probably a good call
(65) Melius: well, it doesn;t sound liek it'll be an issue
(64) Saeda: Honestly though as long as the DM finds a place for them they work
(53) Bribri: Yea.
(64) Saeda: If the player is the only psion in the entire world... eh... not so much
(65) Melius: i'm kinda surprised with the makeup of our group
(53) Bribri: well as I said, there are only two cases that I'd allow them =P
(53) Bribri: Seer, Soul knife
(64) Saeda: So we'll get to fight some jedi I mean er... "soul blades" at some point in time from the looks of it ;-)
(53) Bribri: Heh.
(64) Saeda: Well is everyone somewhat linked now? Or are we still floundering?
(53) Bribri: Not everyone... some people only really have a connection to one character.
(56) Talen: bane
(53) Bribri: two at least seems like a good idea, Bane's only hanging out with Gizzen.
(53) Bribri: Though actualy, bane MIGHt be able to know Aldos, he does need leather to make the damn shoes.
(53) Bribri: Aldon*
(53) Bribri: Bane hangs with the npcs~
(64) Saeda: That's discrimation yo *chuckles*
(53) Bribri: but not everyday, more business with Aldon, chating with Gizzen. Dwarves respect their elders =P
(53) Bribri: assuming he agrees with it.
(62) Scern: I think I'd know Saeda too...especially if she's known at all in the town guard circles....those types of interests of the city would be something my family would support and be involved in
(64) Saeda: She's an up and coming Hand, so that would work
(65) Melius: well, is anyone in scern's family magical, they could come by the temple looking for magical items, adn i could'v emet him that way?
(53) Bribri: Hmm only off hand though, he'd know of her, but not be big buddys with her out of the game.
(70) Bane: I agree
(70) Bane: sorry, EVERYONE is in bed now
(65) Melius: except you ;)
(64) Saeda: A possible round about link to throw out there is who the Eye Saeda works with is
(56) Talen: so great my two arch enemies at one table and now they know eachother, lol
(62) Scern: And I have the potential to be a very good friend to anyone in the merchantile business looking for good prices ;-)
(64) Saeda: Because as of yet that hasn't been decided
(53) Bribri: and yes for sure there are some magic uses in Scerns family, but they're elves, they have their own god of magic and swordplay to pray to =P
(53) Bribri: users*
(65) Melius: dang
(65) Melius: well, i can't be to bane
(65) Melius: he's an old fart
(53) Bribri: Bane hates the magic.
(70) Bane: who are you arch enemies talon "left" and "right"?
(53) Bribri: Except the clerical varity.. i think?
(70) Bane: actually he doesn't hate magic, as he just thinks it is a figment of somone's imagination
(53) Bribri: Magic is rather hard to deny completely..
(70) Bane: it borders on hat I suppose
(65) Melius: well, i doubt boccob woudl be the temple he'd go to for healing
** (70) Bane is stubborn **
(53) Bribri: point
(70) Bane: I believe in clerical "magic", cause that isn't magic that is god-inspired power
(70) Bane: simply channelling thru the cleric
(64) Saeda: Could have had a rather amusing encounter with Melius the one time he did go there because of an emergency and realized where he was *chuckles*
(70) Bane: but these balyhoos in the robes with the wands...."Bah!", as Bane would say
(62) Scern: Bane could actually know my character on a business level anyhow
(56) Talen: arch enemies: the half-brother of the girl I've been secretly seeing and a Hand that likes to throw jail at me(even though jail doesn't frighten me since they couldn't keep me the other times they had me)
(64) Saeda: There are worse punishments than jail *grins evily*
(62) Scern: oooo if only I knew you were boinkin' my sister!! lol
(56) Talen: you'd have to catch me first
(70) Bane: Scen what's your business
(53) Bribri: I'm pretty sure Saeda and Talen are taken care of.. they know who they know, I say Saeda might see Meilus other times as well when she might need to do some research for a case.
(62) Scern: Lets just say I'm a mover of goods
(64) Saeda: That works
(56) Talen: i feel like Twen now "not the kneecaps!!"
(53) Bribri: after all, Boccobs church is the one with a library.
(64) Saeda: *laughs*
(53) Bribri: Poor Twen.
(56) Talen: lol
(64) Saeda: Don't worry for all her veiled threats Saeda probably has a soft spot for the poor beggar.
(70) Bane: I can get you some squirel nuts.....but my "business" is basically dead carcuses and the guts :o
(53) Bribri: though to be honest, in most brain storms of future twen Bria dies in his hands and Aril isn't very happy with him. But ehn.
(53) Bribri: But anyway~
(62) Scern: you deal in leathers and such?
(56) Talen: could be a taxadermist? (I CAN"T SPELL!)
(70) Bane: I'm a bit of a non-city resident - some call me the dwarven Hermit....I live out and about (surprising I didn't choose ranger)....I hunt, I arrive at the city about once a week to sell my skins/meat/other parts/, then play the poker game, then am off
(53) Bribri: Which means bane isn't the best of buddys even with the npcs =P
(53) Bribri: He's just well a creepy hermit.
(62) Scern: hmmm may have crossed paths a time or two, but I'd probably not deal in such goods
(53) Bribri: So better we get a few more connections for Melilus and Scern so things are pretty stable.
(70) Bane: It ain't leather when I bring it in.....I'd agree to the "and such" part though
(62) Scern: I already have connections to Talen and Saeda
(70) Bane: hmm, yes creepy
(53) Bribri: Well the connection to Saeda is rather minor.
(53) Bribri: You heard of her, but you wouldn't talk to her off game day, Melius and Talen have a chance of that.
(65) Melius: and all I have is Saeda
(62) Scern: so is the one to Talen...since I guess I don't *know* its Talen
(64) Saeda: Unless you've had some crime occur to you that she investigated
(53) Bribri: You might, who knows maybe your sister trust you XP
(64) Saeda: Poor Talen... *snickers*
(62) Scern (whispering): given my background, I doubt that
(56) Talen: NO BRI! don't give him idea's
whispering to Scern, Who says she'd know XP?
(56) Talen: great, now he's at the game keeping tabs on me
(62) Scern (whispering): well I had it of mind that I was kind of the black sheep
whispering to Scern, right right
(56) Talen: unless he's just that great of a guy
(62) Scern (whispering): which means I pretty normal, since most of my family is goody-goody for the town, etc
(53) Bribri: Lets see.
(62) Scern: oh I'm a great guy alright
(53) Bribri: Hey Melius how do you feel if the pretty red head was Aldons sister?
(65) Melius: well, i can't think of any way I'd know Scern's character, so I'd have to know Talen I guess. Maybe I caught him trying to grab a few coins form teh box or something, adn instead of turning him in decided to try and help him out
(65) Melius: that's fine
(65) Melius: though that means she's off limits ha ha
(53) Bribri: Oh pfft
(53) Bribri: He doesn't mind his sister dating.
(65) Melius: well, i guess we're nto close friends, so it'd be ok
(53) Bribri: Not all brothers are over protective jerks
(62) Scern: hmmm considering bard
(56) Talen: see Scern you should follow his example
(65) Melius: we're not dating yet though, we've barely talked to each other
(53) Bribri: Ahh pfft.
(53) Bribri: We all know where it's going.
(53) Bribri: anywa
(64) Saeda: Heh
(65) Melius: ha ha
(64) Saeda: It'd be great to have a bard by the way Scern
(62) Scern (whispering): nm...can't be lawful....swashbuckler seems the logical choice afterall
(53) Bribri: I'd really like a wizard or a sorcerer in the party 'somewhere' hopefully Aurora takes the job if Scern doesn't
(64) Saeda: They're always fun in my opinion
(65) Melius: i can go straight wizard
whispering to Scern, Oh pfft, go ahead and be lawfull
(62) Scern (whispering): why the heck can't a bard be lawful"
(65) Melius: no big deal
(53) Bribri: And no need to change Melius then we'd jstu be lacking a cleric.
(56) Talen: NO! you chose already! no going back, no cleric reductions
(65) Melius: i think you can do better without a cleric than a wizard
(53) Bribri: you're crazy.
(53) Bribri: Clerics keep the party alive.
(65) Melius: but we have the ranger who can use healign wands
(53) Bribri: and besides you're a cleric with a little extra utlity you really are fine as you are.
(64) Saeda: That implies we *have* healing wands
(65) Melius: ok, just trying to help out fo rthe team
(56) Talen: and i don't see a crazy paladin devoted to healing anywhere
(65) Melius: lol
(62) Scern: please don't say the P word
(53) Bribri: I happen to love paladins...
(53) Bribri: When played right
(56) Talen: paladins are awesome, just not the people who play them
(62) Scern: how about a noble elf barbarian? hehe jk
(65) Melius: i woudl play a paladin if you didnt' have to be lawful good, i thikn it puts too much strian on the party
(53) Bribri: It isn't the issue of being lawfull good, it's people mistaking lawful good for Lawfull neutral with good leans.
(53) Bribri: Twen was lawfull good and he wasn't as bad as some of those crazy paladins, no where near
(62) Scern: or just plain lawful stupid
(64) Saeda: More likely the later
(56) Talen: you don't have to be LG, there is CG, LE, and CE
(65) Melius: yah, but if your'e lawful good, it makes the rogue's job harder
(64) Saeda: Lawful neutral can be a very interesting alignment too
(53) Bribri: Ehn it can.
(62) Scern: yeah thoben pulled of Jilan perfectly
(64) Saeda: It's not his job to rob everyone Melius ;-)
(65) Melius: i didn't say that
(62) Scern: Deke was a rogue and he never stole from people
(70) Bane: I did?
(56) Talen: ya, i'm actually one of the goodest character here
(65) Melius: i meant even just sneaking in to a house to find out something
(62) Scern: Jilan being LN that is
(53) Bribri: as a lawfull neutral, you did rather well.
(70) Bane: :)
(64) Saeda: Jilan was quite lawful neutral
(62) Scern: goodest....whew...nails on a chalk board there
(56) Talen: lol
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(70) Bane: not much in the boobage department though
(56) Talen: goodiest?
(53) Bribri: The thing abotu a lawfull good is generaly the GOOD comes first.
(62) Scern: BETTER
(53) Bribri: anyway.
(62) Scern: MORE GOODLY
(53) Bribri: enough ont hat topic.
(56) Talen: lol
(70) Bane: So what are the alignments of everyone?
(65) Melius: I'm NG
(53) Bribri: Neutral goods mostly I think.
(56) Talen: CG
(53) Bribri: with leans one way or the other.
(70) Bane: that works
(70) Bane: LE
(62) Scern: we'll go with that
(70) Bane: :o
(64) Saeda: NG
(64) Saeda: With lawful leanings, but she does tend to break the rules a bit too much
(56) Talen: an evil character would be nice to see, lol
(53) Bribri: Banes lawfull evil? haha
(70) Bane: LOL
(70) Bane: NG
(70) Bane: I can be evil though.....for variety
(56) Talen: hey, I was CN and more evil than all the LE in the party
(53) Bribri: Or just plan neutral, but that's up to you
(62) Scern: a CN is an unplayable alignment in my opinion...same with CE
(70) Bane: I used to choose CN for every character so I could do whatever I wanted to do
(62) Scern: exactly Bane
(56) Talen: people called me CE but I varied too much in what I did to be that, like freeing slaves for no reason and such
(62) Scern: CN becomes an excuse for doing whatever, whenever
(70) Bane: if you read the def of CN, I think it isn't that, but that's what players turn it into
(64) Saeda: Exactly
(62) Scern: right....same with LG Paladins
(70) Bane: yep
(70) Bane: LG can be a major issue in a party, you can't sneeze w/o a paly wanting to kill you for not covering your mouth
(65) Melius: lol
(53) Bribri: Twen didn't act like that ;0;
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(56) Talen: well i always played it like I do't care if you're good or evil or what you fight for, if you mess with me then you got a problem, want to be my friend and there's a reward in it for me then fine
(70) Bane: Then you didn't play it right, LOL
(56) Talen: at least i played it and it was accepted
(70) Bane: in any case, sounds like NG's most of the way around then
(65) Melius: any opinions on what a good 1st level arcane spell woudl be to take?
(70) Bane: with a bit of flavor in Talen
(53) Bribri: Hmmm
(53) Bribri: There's a few usefull lvl 1 spells around...
(56) Talen: ya, the law can bite my shiny metal ass, but that doesn't mean I'm going to steal from some old lady
(65) Melius: well i was thining maybe mage armor, magic missle, maybe feather fall
(53) Bribri: you should take something that's usefull longterm, and stacks well with cleric.
(56) Talen: unless she's loaded or incrediably in needing of being stolen from
(53) Bribri: mage armor for example wouldn't stack with yoru armor.
(65) Melius: yah
(53) Bribri: Magic missle wouldn't be bad.. but feather fall is way to specific situation.
(65) Melius: true. but there's no guarenteewe'll ever get armor ha ha
(53) Bribri: PErsonaly:I'd go Grease XD
(53) Bribri: Love that spell
(65) Melius: lol
(65) Melius: that woudo work, or maybe true strike
(53) Bribri: higher levels it last long enough so they're making reflex saves every round, cast it on their weapons and whoosh!
(56) Talen: what about that self cleaning spell was that first or 0?
(65) Melius: that's 0
(65) Melius: i took that and message
(56) Talen: dang i really need that spell, seeing how I live on the streets and all
(53) Bribri: That? oh that was one of the things Prestidigation could do
(65) Melius: yah
(65) Melius: coudl take charm person, but doesnt' seem to be my 'type'
(56) Talen: 'Charm' them into giving a bit more to your charity and church, lol
(65) Melius: lol, yah
(53) Bribri: ha..
(62) Scern: alright...what's the consensus...would you all rather have a bard or a swashbuckler?
(65) Melius: though at boccob's church, i'm sure most have decent will saves to counter that
(56) Talen: which one won't kill me faster?
(64) Saeda: Bard if you're into it... Swashbuckler otherwise
(70) Bane: bard
(65) Melius: a bard might be more useful, seeing as we have enough firepower, plus you could wow people with your music
(65) Melius: i think I'll take MM now, adn grease next level
(53) Bribri: It's not like you're lacking in other areas. You all have alot of skills (except bane you all have at least 4 skill points and 14 int to go along with)
(56) Talen: but he's a high class bard, not some minstrel that goes around tavern to tavern
(62) Scern: right, I'd be more formally trained, etc
(65) Melius: yah, a high clas bard who plays poker with us ha ha
(53) Bribri: He's a noble who knows how to bloody sing, has his informants (bardic knowldge) and some gift of magic thanks to his heritage =P
(64) Saeda: To keep an eye on Talen ;-)
(62) Scern (whispering): would a bard still pertake in my profession?
(53) Bribri: he doesn't actualy need to define himself as a bard
(64) Saeda: And to get to know him to see if he approves or not...
(64) Saeda: I think it'd work
(56) Talen: well being a skill class he might have been able to discover us if the sister didn't tell him outright
(65) Melius: ahh
whispering to Scern, You likely wouldn't consider yourself an actualy 'bard'. And.. you dont need to make any class changes at all
(62) Scern: We'll just have to see
(62) Scern (whispering): what do you mean?
(53) Bribri: The entire party are skill classes except bane...
(70) Bane: :-)
(70) Bane: :-O
(64) Saeda: I'm a grade A skill whore whenever I play, getting only 6 points per level was a big step for me *laughs*
(56) Talen: just means we can jobs done except ones that involve fighting....perhaps execpt me, i can fight
(65) Melius: and bane
whispering to Scern, err background changes I mean. Being a bard doesn't really changing anything beyond the fact your character can sing and cast sorcereric magic
(65) Melius: and i can call in some reinforcemetns
(56) Talen: well i mean out of us skill whores
(64) Saeda: Saeda can definitely pack a whallop when she wants to
(65) Melius: ahh
(70) Bane: great a grumpy dwarf and a bunch of skill whores....what a combo
(64) Saeda: Heh
(56) Talen: and possible a mage
(65) Melius: i could probably hold my own, though i'd probably try to stay out of actually melee combat until i had to do it
(62) Scern (whispering): well I hve the idea of being a noble with the reputation of "slumming" (although I do voraciously use my skills to charm the ladies, I'm also making connections ,etc)
whispering to Scern, I will be quiet happy to see your background when you're done with it =P
(56) Talen: hell you would kill me, all armor defence, little dex, flatfooted really doesn't help anymore
(62) Scern (whispering): I'm probably going to take poetry as my perform skill, I'm envisioning Chaucer in "A Knight's Tale"
(64) Saeda: *chuckles* and yet you said you could fight?
(65) Melius: well all i know is when i can, i'm taking fireball ha ha
(56) Talen: i can, just not him or any no dex fighter, ranger, paly
(56) Talen: and barb i guess
(64) Saeda: Or person with high sense motive? ;-)
(53) Bribri: the flat footedness is more for the sneak attack damage then anything.
(56) Talen: well then that lighting fast dagger comes out of nowhere
(64) Saeda: Nevermind thought you were talking about improved feint
(62) Scern: actually a high level thief with the right skills/feats can give a fighter a real go
(65) Melius: maybe we shouldn't worry about Pc v PC fighting just yet?
(65) Melius: haha
(56) Talen: ya, i killed an entire church of actual lvl NPCs with my combo
(62) Scern: lol
(64) Saeda: *chuckles*
(64) Saeda: Well my net is going wonky
(64) Saeda: Do we need to discuss anything else?
(53) Bribri: Hmm
(53) Bribri: I think we're pretty much ok as we are now =P
(56) Talen: lil rogue, lil assassin, with quick draw and flick of the wrist and several weapons
(65) Melius: well, i dunn oif i need to find another link
(65) Melius: to a PC or not
(53) Bribri: I'd like to see all your backgrounds on the site come Friday if that's possible?
(70) Bane: So what else do we need to cover?
(53) Bribri: If not sunday at the latest.
(64) Saeda: I'm all set I think
(64) Saeda: Unless there's something more you want
(65) Melius: i thin ki have mine down too
(53) Bribri: Hmm well saving the log coudl help, as I know nothign of how to do it =P
(62) Scern: actually the assassin base class from the Green Ronin publishers is pretty sweet...coupled with the right feats, VERY nasty
(56) Talen: hmm I won't be back in town until Sunday, Oh wait I already posted mine haha
(64) Saeda: Chat->save chat log
(53) Bribri: Okk then lets see what else..

(53) Bribri: Bribye~
(65) Melius: just wondered
(53) Bribri: After I get to read over your finishe dbackground (i sugest making a note somewhere that it's the finished version) I should hand them out that day, or the day after.
(65) Melius: ok, soudns good
(56) Talen: well Bane that was a nasty no hit, lol
(65) Melius: i think mine is done...?
(53) Bribri: You need to add the changes dealing with the other characters =P
(70) Bane: saving the hits for the enemies
(70) Bane: :)
(65) Melius: ahh, you mean character ha ha
(56) Talen: should we add our relations with the characters we have relations with now or do we just say its known now
(56) Talen: GRRR
(70) Bane: I only have relations with Talon's boobages.....
(53) Bribri: you add it to the backgrounds yea~
(56) Talen: thats why i said grrr
(56) Talen: didn't see your post until i posted
(62) Scern: you planning on flushing out anymore NPCs?
(70) Bane: :)
(65) Melius: yah, perhas you can add one to the poker game that knwos me more ha ha
(53) Bribri: Once all the backgrounds are done I was planning to write full things on each of the npcs, 2 paragraphs for each.
(70) Bane: OK, I'm out - I think I"m all set....and I got work to do on my new warranty parts :) plenty to keep me busy
(53) Bribri: Naw, the poker game is a rather crowded one as is.
(56) Talen: and its not Talon or sound like it (Tay-lin) i think that works...i hope
(65) Melius: ok
(70) Bane: you may have covered this before I arrived....what is the estimated start date?
