Topic: CWWLLO QnA
Subject: A game
The one thing that keeps occurring to me about this adventure is that all of these characters set out into great peril specifically to save a friend. And now they see a bunch of their friends die and just move on. (But not looting their gear, no never looting. Just making use of, that is all. Not looting.) Anyway, given the set up of the campaign it seems to me that Jarenion and the others would do whatever was in their power to aid/bring back their companions. That is probably why the one that died already did so by disintegrating. Not much to do there.
Ok, so we can just ignore this little character flaw and move on with the campaign. Or, we could also assume that we would want to do something to preserve the bodies if possible and return to get them on the way out. After all, resurrection has a long history in D&D and these folks seem to know the right people. I'm not suggesting the characters themselves ever return to the campaign, although that would then be possible in the very long term future if things did keep rolling, but rather that this would add one more character wrinkle into the story. It just becomes another goal on the way out. Of course, I think getting out was to be done magically. We just now have more people to save.
Or not. It might be easier to just let them go.

I am more than willing to keep going with whatever works if that is doable. I'd offer to change character if needed since I didn't create Jarenion, but since he is the mage, he seems needed. But let me know and I'll be there.

Come on people, the Vikings won! Honestly, what is there to be upset about?????
Ok, so it was only against the Lions, but it still counts. I guess Hammer missing the turn kinda stinks. But . . . .go Vikings!

Subject: Not a big fan of stingers.
In my last post Gelion was looking for a position in the trees that might be hard for the bees to get through or into. Perhaps a place where the trees are too close together for their wingspan. Does he see anything like that around the group anywhere?
Also, how far away are the bees when we first see them appear?
And one more - did we lose Yohn somewhere?

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: Lets get things moving
Jarenion saw the bard fall and groaned. Everyone knew that such things were possible when on an adventure, but it still hurt to see it happen. They were here to rescue a friend, and yet one friend had already been sacrificed to the attempt. This was not a good beginning. But considering their surroundings, one had to wonder about the odds of a good ending as well.
He gave the healers time to heal - that was obviously the first order of the day. Once that was done, he offered to disintegrate the door if desired after a healed Maximus had looked for traps. He doubted that would be the way to go, but he made the offer. In the mean time he kept his eye on the wall of stone and the wall of fire. Keeping the enemies they knew about at bay was important. He would be ready when the door opened.

Topic: Vigilante Q/A
Subject: A few details.
Two things it would be helpful to know.
1.) Where in the city is Heironymus' shelter? I put "west side" in the post, but that can be changed. I really have no idea. It might be good to know - also to have a name for that section of the city would add color to the posts. I was also assuming it wasn't near the docks, but again, I don't know this.
2.) I'm guessing the cleric will go find this couple at the shelter/kitchen. Could I get a description of them - where are they from, what do they look like, how long have they been there. Whatever might be helpful. Heironymus will want to try to introduce the topic without starting with "Hey, I'm a vigilante and would like to interrogate you a bit."

Topic: Vigilante
Subject: And so it begins
Heironymus was not comfortable with the situation in the hideout. It wasn't the young lady - she was actually a nice touch. An innocent little alchemist to make everything look good. They had still not seen Lord Brown. In fact, they hadn't been given any information at all about the whole vigilante plan. All they had was a brief note, a promise of payment, a masked lady in a bar, an address, an young attractive and clumsy alchemist, and some files of a crime. And on this basis they were supposed to set themselves up as the enemy of both the gangs of the city and the law, for undoubtedly some of what they would do would stretch the law. And he doubted there would be a mob boss on their side to see to it that they were released for their crimes, as seemed to happen for so many.
Was this enough? Should he gamble his life on the hope that it played out? Such violence and actions outside the law were not what he hoped for. The system should protect the people - and vigilantes helped to weaken the system. But he knew why he had come to the meeting in the first place. The system wasn't working. Sometimes action was needed. Sometimes the people had to rise up and say, "We're not going to take it! No! We're not going to take it!" As the song rang in his head he knew he wanted this to work out. He badly wanted to be able to take some action to make a difference. Something more proactive than simply serving soup to people with no hope of anything better. This group was probably his best chance to do something. He looked around at the other vigilantes and said a little internal prayer. It could work.
But he still had doubts. Turning to the young alchemist he asked, "Are we going to get any more information about the boss? We are being asked to do something with little knowledge of who is doing the asking. I seek a little reassurance. What can you tell us? Or will anyone else?"
((OOC: Assuming she gives some sort of answer he follows up with . . .))
Looking at the others he decides it is time to start planning. "I suspect we want to start by gathering more information. A few pictures and a map aren't much to go on. I help to run a soup kitchen and shelter in the West Side slums. The down and out are those I work with on a daily basis, and sometimes this includes recent arrivals. I would like to go back and ask a few questions. Some might know of the arrival of large numbers of girls or perhaps of the disappearance of a few. The docks are not my home, so I would leave that task for others."
Waiting to see their reaction he ads, "I might suggest meeting back here in 24 hours to see what we know. I need some time to put together more of a concealment than just a cloak as well."

Topic: CWWLLO QnA
Subject: How to deal with a door
Ok, so I assume we have a bit of healing to do to start with, so Jarneion wouldn't do anything until that is done. His stone wall should keep the wights at bay unless something dispels the wall. The wall of fire probably only has 10 minutes left. Will the rat zombies follow us?
Jarenion could disintegrate the door - presumably this would eliminate any traps that might be there. Or set them off, of course. But it might makes things easier. It would also mean the door could not be shut behind us in case somethings try to follow us. It also burns up a 6th level spell. Jarenion has a lot of spells, but they are not unlimited and he has already used half a dozen.
Before that happens, it seems likely that Maximus has some stuff to do - get healed and look for traps. But I wanted to put this out there to see if others thought it was worth it.

Topic: Weird War II
Subject: Stand guard
Corban helped bring down the zombies. He couldn't help wonder why the Nazis had so much difficulty with them. Had they not realized that the head bash was the key to dezombification? Were they surprised by an assault of the slow moving shamblers out of the doors? The zombies were slow enough that hardly seemed possible. And Nazis may be Nazis, but that didn't mean stupid - or this whole war would be a lot easier than it was. So how did a group of slow moving zombies kill a bunch of Nazis and destroy their base of operations? This just didn't seem right.
As the rest of the group looked at the hieroglyphs and the rest of the room, the sniper took his place as rear guard. He stood to the side of the entrance hall and kept his gaze down that hall with his trusted rifle close to hand. He didn't want to make any noise, but he also didn't want anything to come up behind them.

Topic: Final Fantasy: Crimson Falcons
Subject: Will modify
I posted in the game before I saw the request for details here. I'll get it modified, but it might take a day or two.
I do have a quick question. I know I can look this up, but it seemed easier to ask. Feats and limit breaks - how frequently can I use them? Is point blank simply a statement of a type of shot and thus usable on every shot if it is within 30 feet? Can I do rapid shot every turn? What about a limit break like Hail of Arrows? If no one replies before I get around to updating my post with the attack details I'll just look this up also, but I would appreciate some help from someone who knows this system.

Topic: Final Fantasy: Crimson Falcons
Subject: A newly minted Falcon takes aim
Gelion saw the bee buzz out of the woods. Yep. It was a giant bee alright. Not a pleasant looking thing.
He had a bow with him for a reason. He placed an arrow and drew it back - he held his aim for two segments making use of his ability to take careful aim. (He is using his aim limit break - he will shoot at initiative slot 20 instead of 22, this should give him a +2 to hit and damage. It is also a point blank shot.)
As he got off his shot he also looked around. The bee was big and had a big wingspan. If they could find a group of trees that were less than 5 feet apart they might have partial shelter that the bee would have trouble getting into. If this bee went down, his first move would be to look for a blind from which to shoot.

Topic: Vigilante Q/A
Subject: Info and such
First a really basic question - I have frequently seen people post ((OOC)) I assume this means it is "out of the game" or some such. But what exactly does it stand for?
I think some recon is a good idea. Heironymus might know something about these things from the people he works for. If nothing else, they might know about stories of people disappearing.
Two other thoughts:
1. I need to reread the game post, but doesn't it imply that the women come from outside of the city and are brought here for slavery? Thus the comment about the pirate in the harbor not bothering them on their way in. So there might not be local women disappearing. Instead, might women be showing up in brothels or some such places?
2. We need a "big picture" plan. I know info will help us make this, but I don't know what we are tryin to do yet. Yes, stop the slavers. But does that mean stop a shipment and free the ladies? Follow a shipment to the homebase? How exactly does one shut down a slaver operation? (As opposed to free one single shipment.) Do you take out the leadership? Make it too expensive to continue? catch those running it (as opposed to the gang leaders) and make it hard to restart? We need some information obviously first, but after that I am not overly sure about the next step.

Topic: Vigilante Q/A
Subject: Suspicious Minds
Is there any reason why we should be questioning our new boss? We know nothing of him. We know we are essentially being set up to go attack a gang. This could be a subtle way for one gang to attack another. Or perhaps to set someone up as the fallguy for a crime. I'm not saying that is true, but is it something that in this situation our characters would be worried about? And, if so, what do we do about it?

Topic: Vigilante
Subject: A Foxy bundle of energy
Heironymus almost burst out laughing at Pyrus' excitement, but stopped himself lest the foxkin find it insulting. That little creature was undeniably a bundle of energy and had an innate charisma. It was hard not to find the charisma charming. He suspected there was some steel underneath that bubbly energy, but the outside persona was fun. He strongly doubted that Pyrus would be a grim faced dark knight. Or, if that was the case, Hieronymus was sure he would be laughing behind his own mask.
When Pyrus suggested they move out and scout out the next stop he quickly agreed. "Lead on. Lets see what our mysterious host has to offer."
He didn't bother with his cloak as he walked out of the tavern. he had been sitting there in plain view for some time and covering up now would only draw attention. Once a few blocks away he brought up his hood and made sure that nothing distinctive was showing. He didn't think he looked disguised, he just looked like any other man walking the streets in a cloak. Sometimes simple disguises were the best. He couldn't help wondering as he moved just what would qualify as a "simple disguise" for the little foxkin.

Gelion watched the big Puff walk out of the room. The big man went straight to the point. But he seemed friendly.
Rising from the table he added his own comment to the meetings end. "It seems our guess was correct - we are indeed to be teammates - at least for one mission. Welcome aboard folks, I hope my bow can be of some use to us on this mission. I can't say I've ever tried to shoot a bee before."
Moving towards the cabinet to grab a snack of his own on the way out he added, "anything we should talk about before meeting up at the gate?"
If he hears no specific comment in reply he finishes with, "In that case, I will see again shortly. Lets see how well these armbands fit." So saying, he grabbed an armband, placed it on his arm, and followed Yohn out of the room. He will head towards the gate.
