Subject: My Bad :(


WTF JC knew something was wrong the minute he started feeling tired. Not once in his life had he become this tired this fast not even during the war. As he tried to move away from the table he saw Asante smiling.

“You bi**h” He was able to mutter as he tried to move towards her but instead fell face down onto the floor out cold.

---------------------------------------------------------------------

As he slowly came awake JC for all his grogginess knew Asante was gone. Somehow the Wahg-ba bi**h had drugged the meat, most likely before it had been brought aboard. As he finally stood he knew he would get a ton of duh kwong-run from Gracie for letting her out of the room.

However as they all started to shake off the drug, and after his initial anger eased, he realized they had got off lucky. Asante had just escaped and not killed them all, thus taking the Destiny as her own. Of course she’d stripped Jon naked but that was more a childish ex-lover type stunt then any real threat. Moving to Jon’s side he helped the captain gain his bearings, and yes his clothes, and with that taken care of went to check over the rest of the ship for any obvious damage or theft.

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: A Reunion of Old Companions


“Oh no not that wayyyyyy” In seconds Maximus Jerale, Ex-Gladiator now Thief, hater of teleportation spells and the two Elves were gone.

To suddenly appear in a castles courtyard one Maximus recognized as the home of Yolanda Queen of the Grey Elves and Galen’s mother. Within minutes the big Ex-Gladiator was standing, some would say towering, with eight others in the castles large library. As he took in the others around him, knowing them all to a certain degree, he spotted Odyson right away. With the Barbarian Shaman being just a few inches shorter then Maximus he was easy to spot, and made to move towards him. However a second very familiar face, though in unfamiliar armor, stopped him dead in his tracks. A deep breath inhaled, he moved to stand beside the man in full green plate armor.

“Hello Arien”.....................

(Ok am leaving it here for now hoping for some quick RP with Olan for two semi-friends meeting for the first time in 4-5 years after the death of another close friend to both. Both Maximus and Arien are from the first CWWLLO and it was Jal, the mutual friends death that caused the original close party to part ways as far as RP. In RL Alacrity ended the game due to RL issues. To me I think meeting after 5 years of no word or anything would be a big deal. This would take place before Yolanda appears of course in the few minutes before. If I'm wrong Olan, I'll gladly reword my post )

Topic: Continuing Where We Last Left Off Again
Subject: Introduction part 1


Maximus moved through the building quietly searching for the buildings main safe. Most people would take one look at his 6’5 height and 360pds of pure muscle and use quiet as a relative term. However the big ex-Gladiator turned Thief was just that…Quiet. Reaching finally the fake wood paneling that showed on his map he quickly checked for traps finding two. The traps were cleverly positioned on top of one another to make disarming them for most thieves very tricky. For Maximus they were child’s play and in a matter of minutes the safe was open and the pouch of rare gems in his pocket. Within minutes he was out the back door through the yard and walking calmly down the street once more.

As he walked to the meeting with his ‘employer’ Maximus kept a close look around him looking for any one following him but only once did he think he was being followed. However it proved to be nothing when he backtracked to check. Then he was once more outside the Red Dragon Inn, Pub & Stables and with a last look to check for any unwanted attention, entered through its front door once more. Smiling with confidence, his chest out as bold as any adventurer, with balls of brass he took one quick look at the tables around him and moved to the one best draped in shadow.

Sitting down and getting comfortable, back leaning against the wall, he caught the eye of his favorite server and current lover.

“Godiva, a pint of good old Froth-n-Slosh my sexy lass and a plate of corned beef and eggs” Within ten minutes his beer and meal were before him as was a very sexy black haired lady, and a jealous look from Godiva.

“So big, dark and handsome looking for some fun?”

“Aye that I am” Reaching out he took her hand seemingly roughly, but in truth lightly, sitting the wench upon his lap. Smiling and laughing the wench whispered in the ex-gladiators ear.

“Did you get it?”

“Yes the safe was where you said it would be, though your husband had changed the traps from what you told me, as we expected.”

“So no problems” She asked as she seemed to nibble on his ear, the tone in her voice excited, yet concerned.

“None, I recovered your gems Lady Selene, that he took from you when you found him having sex with the Lady Celeste. Then to cover his infidelity his throwing of you as a pauper to the street.” A quick motion, the crowd if looking seeing only Maximus grabbing for the Ladies breasts, and the pouch of gems was quickly tucked within her corset.

“What do I owe you Maximus?”

“Nothing but a kiss and a bitten lip, make the blood flow nicely” Said smiling as if suggesting something wicked. With that the ‘wench’ leaned into the kiss then the crowd of the Inn heard a great roar as Maximus lunged to his feet.

“Harlot do I look like one that is into blood play, NAY! I have lived and seen more blood then you will ever and I do not wish it in my sex play. Begone whore and never come around me again.” As the ‘wench made to scramble away she kept her black wig as to cover her face as best she could and within minutes she was out the door and gone. Turning to his meal he began to eat, using the food to cover his smile. A few hours later Maximus was yet at the Red Dragon, a few more pints of Froth-n-Slosh in-taken while talking to the bartender Igor. Max had learn signing from the mute half-orc. Maximus's good friend and fellow adventurer Odyson, the lead bartender and owner of the Inn, and was not behind the bar. To Maximus this was odd as the only times he remembered Ody not bartending was when he and Maximus were out adventuring."

They both had just started laughing at a joke when Maximus was alerted to people approaching the bar from behind him by a look from Igor.

“Excuse me are you Maximus Jerale?” A voice behind him was heard to speak. Turning Maximus was greeted by a strange sight, though one he had seen before in a friend’s home, just never this far South. Before him stood two elves, one in armor, clearly a soldier, the other in robes, perhaps a Mage.

“Yes I am he, what brings two Elves this far South?”

“A few hours ago you were sent a summons in your sleep from Yolanda, Queen of Celene telling you of her need of your help and our arrival, did you not get it?”

“No I did not as I do not dream and I sleep very little. You say Yolanda summons me, why her and not Galen?” With the two Elves silence it finally hit the Ex-Gladiator that for the Queen of the Elves to actually summon HIM the need was dire indeed.

“We are to travel together then? Let me gather my things. Igor my gear quickly, tell Godiva I will return when I can, here give her this, tell her to buy her ‘sprats’ something nice” With a smile on his face he placed a small bag of 20 gold on the bar.

From behind the bar Igor quickly produced Maximus’s stored gear, but for the hand axes at his hips and the daggers strapped to either side of his ankles. Turning once more to the Elves, he stood ready.

“So your horses are at the stable then, let us go retrieve them and be on our way.” Maximus said as the three headed once more for the entrance and out into the street

“No lord Jerale we will travel faster” The robed one said as they gained the outside of the RD Inn. Turning to look back Maximus caught the robed one moving his hands as if casting a spell.

“Oh no not that wayyyyyy” In seconds Maximus Jerale, Ex-Gladiator now Thief, hater of teleportation spells and the two Elves were gone..................

Subject: Last Night


I agree last night's episode did follow what I know of the comic's. I loved the part where Bob went from crying to laughing, though I wished there would have been more shock when they all realized they had eaten 'tainted meat'

Personally I thought Rick should have, while waiting for Daryl and Carol's return, tied up Garath and watched to see if he turned. Be the ultimate revenge to calmly talk to him as he is in the process of becoming a zombie. Then after he turns kill him with the machete as promised in the first episode of this season.

As far as the full comic storyline I knew about the Hunters's and the baseball batman However is there another villain before he shows up they could possibly throw into the mix?

I was not trying to be a rules lawyer! I apologize if that's how I came across.

I posted that because I did not want anyone thinking I was cheating on my character creation. I created Duel Classed Maximus as I read the Duel rules. If I am incorrect I will gladly rework him.

And being in second spot behind Arien or being in the rear is ok by me.

Topic: CWWLLO QnA
Subject: Actually I think your wrong by the PHB


Per the Players Handbook..............

Any time after reaching 2nd level, a human character can enter a new character class, provided he has scores of 17 or better in the prime requisites of the new class. After switching to a new class, the character no longer earns experience points in his previous character class and he can no longer advance in level in that class. Nor can he switch back to his first class at a later date, hoping to resume his advancement where he left off. Once he leaves a class he has finished his studies in it. Instead, he starts over in a new class, at 1st level with 0 experience points, but he does retain his previous Hit Dice and hit points. He gains the abilities, and must abide by all of the restrictions, of the new class. He does not gain or lose any points on his ability scores (for example, an 18 Strength wizard who changes to fighter does not gain the percentile Strength bonus, but likewise a fighter changing to a wizard would not lose it). The character uses the combat and saving throw tables appropriate to his new class and level.
This is not to imply that a dual-class human forgets everything he knew before; he still has, at his fingertips, all the knowledge, abilities, and proficiencies of his old class. But if he uses any of his previous class's abilities during an encounter, he earns no experience for that encounter and only half experience for the adventure. The only values that can be carried over from the previous class without restriction are the character's Hit Dice and hit points. The character is penalized for using his old attack or saving throw numbers, weapons or armor that are now prohibited, and any special abilities of the old class that are not also abilities of the new class. (The character is trying to learn new ways to do things; by slipping back to his old methods, he has set back his learning in his new character class.)
In addition, the character earns no additional Hit Dice or hit points while advancing in his new class.
The restrictions in the previous two paragraphs last until the character reaches a higher level in his new class than his maximum level in any of his previous classes. At that point, both restrictions are dropped: the character gains the abilities of his previous classes without jeopardizing his experience points for the adventure, and he earns additional Hit Dice (those of his new class) and hit points for gaining experience levels in his new class.

Once these restrictions are lifted, the character must still abide by the restrictions of whichever class he is using at the moment. A dual-class fighter/mage, for example, cannot cast spells while wearing armor.

So as a Duel classed character once I switched classes I was a total lve 1 Thief without the fighter abilities except HD & HP so I would have had the WP's for 7th LvL Fighter, though if used I'd take hits on exp and so on, and then up to an 8th LvL thief so it come out to 10 6 for 7th lvl fighter / 4 for 8th lvl Thief equaling of course 10.

Bottom line Roger ok'd him I'm sure if there was a problem he would have said something.

Subject: Not saying its an insult far from it


I'm just saying that I can if it comes down to it be in the lead. Below is my full sheet without being modified Alacrity's way.
You'll see I also do +12 damage and get 5/2 attacks with my prime weapon and 1/1 with my secondary. That gives me 3 attacks my 1st rd 4 attacks my 2nd rd if Roger runs attacks 2 first 3 second with 5/2. As for me being the only Thief, yeah you could say I have one of the most important duties in the party. However if needed I can still be in front or in second place to move quickly to the front. Its up to the party as a whole where I am at.

KIT DESCRIPTION Gladiator
Description: The gladiator is a showman-warrior from a society where public combat competitions are a popular sport. The gladiator is a professional warrior in this high-profile arena; for the delight (and bloodlust) of the crowds, for his own personal wealth and aggrandizement (or, if he is a slave, for the profits of his owner), he fights organized matches against human, demihuman, and even monstrous opponents. The Gladiator is going to be a showy, high-profile warrior. He performs dangerous stunts in combat. He attracts the attention of crowds of admirers. He receives a lot of credit for brave deeds whether he deserves the credit or not. A Gladiator can be a callous brute, a dirty arena fighter with no interests other than killing his enemy as quickly as possible and making off with his prize; or he can be a clean-limbed, heroic figure, a hero who always fights honorably in the arena and never kills when he does not have to.

WEAPONS
+3 Vorpal Long Sword ‘JAL‘ Sm/Med: 1d8+12 LG: 1d12+12 #ATKS: 5/2 JAL was re-forged with a red mystic gem on its pommel. When touched and the command word spoken, the sword changes with the blade goes to red becoming red hot as if taken fresh from a forge. In this form it is +4 vs cold using creatures and does double damage, However it loses the Vorpal power when hot. A second touch and the command word spoken in reverse JAL returns to it normal Vorpal state.
+3 Short Sword ‘HOTH‘ Sm/Med: 1d6+12 LG:1d6+12 #ATKS 1/1 HOTH was forged with a blue mystic gem the blade crafted with glassteel. The sword itself does not reflect light nor make a sound when drawn from a sheath. When drawn, it casts a light in a 60' radius but only the bearer of the sword can see the light. 2x per day, a command can be given that turns the light into True seeing as per the spell for 5 rounds. The bearer can if desired share the True Seeing ability with two others if all grasp the hilt of HOTH. Like JAL if the gemstone is touched and the command word spoken the blade goes blue becoming ice cold like an icicle. The sword is +4 vs fire using creatures and does double damage. However in ice form, the light and true seeing can not be used. A second touch and the command word spoken in reverse HOTH returns to it normal state
The two swords are a matched set

BACKGROUND
Maximus Jerele started life as any normal boy born to loving parents and a part of a Sueli household, north of the Empire. His first 15 years of age were as normal as any child could hope for filled with love of a girl, happiness of youth and two very wonderful parents. But as with everything in life all good things come to an end and with the coming of the Empire so did Maximus’s normal life.

His parents killed and his village destroyed he along with a few hardy boys were taken as slaves to be trained for a new life and death in the Gladiatorial pits. His handlers were good and seeing in Maximus a possible champion they trained him both day and night and turned him into a good fighter and then as hoped for, a champion. So much the champion that the crowds knew him by face and placed upon him the nickname of "El Diablo", or translated to common "the Devil" and so they chanted it every time he did enter the pit.

For the next 10 years Maximus was champion, unbeatable by all, and seemed to savor this life so much so that though he was still watched and not trusted his guards grew lax and in a moment of surprise violence Maximus did kill them and escaped. Along with a few others Maximus now 25, was free.

The boy turned slave, turned Gladiator, now a free man vowed never to be a slave again. He turned Mercenary, went out into the world for the first time to fight for any and all including himself. At times even for free if the cause was right, against the realm he would hate till his dying breath that of the Empire. Maximus worked his way south, away from his former homelands and into the realms of the Iron League. Then one day, five years after breaking free, Maximus now thirty joined up with a newly formed group of adventurer’s.

This new group consisted of Arien Thedell, a male, human Knight, no one more noble then this Knight in training. Char, a human Ranger, no man better in the skill of a woodsmen. Dapple Moon a beautiful female half-elf Fighter/Thief, some called her crazy, Maximus called her friend. Kilgim Blackaxe, a male, dwarf, Fighter/Cleric, when called upon to heal or fight there was none more faithful to his god. Adrian Valentine, a male, human, Mage the first of his skill set Maximus had ever met in or out of the arena, but one to remember.

Finally there was Jal Spellbinder, another human Mage but different from the rest of this new party. As the adventure that had brought them together began Maximus found he and Jal had much in common and they soon became the closet of the group in friendship. In reality Maximus as a gladiator had never had friends, nor as a mercenary. For him Jal was his first true friend. Years came and went, daring quests and missions started and finished, and the party made a name for themselves. Life for awhile was good for this close group of seven friends.

However nothing lasts forever and it was on a mission to a tower of evil that Jal died. For the group as a whole the death of Jal was terrible and heart breaking, for Maximus it was devastating and the huge gladiator never fully recovered. Within a short time later the six survivors parted ways, each following his or her own path, the cloud of Jal’s death hanging over all.

During the next four years since leaving the others the time moving slowly Jal’s death ever hovering. Finding himself on his own, and having to support himself, Maximus turned to the skill of Thievery, finding even for his size, he was quite good at it. Little by little while learning the skills of a rogue, Jal’s memory a cloud of guilt, loneliness and despair. During this time Maximus found himself adventuring with many different groups, though never making as close friends as the original group. It was during one of these quests to the Hall of a Stone King that Maximus was able to give Jal the honor he deserved and lay the guilt felt over the Mage’s death to rest. During combat with an Iron Scorpion, Maximus was able to defeat it but lost his hand and his prized Vorpal sword was broken. A fellow party member, Galenthanus an Elven Mage/Thief, and son of Yolanda, lent the big gladiator his ring of regeneration to slowly re-grow the hand. During this time a dwarf smith named Otto, owing his life to Maximus and having taken two mystic gems from the scorpion. Used them to reforge the Vorpal blade and also make a matching short sword as well. When presented to the big Fighter/Mage Maximus named the new Vorpal sword JAL, the short sword HOTH.

With two new swords and his hand once more whole Maximus continues to adventure hoping one day to once again reunite with the survivors of that first group somehow.

My THACO is as follows

HIT POINTS: 144
Base THACO: 14
Melee: 11 (6 with long sword / 6 with short sword)
Missile: 12 (6 with hand axes)

He's not weak or vulnerable I think as he started out as a Gladiator and still has those benefits. Reason he became a Thief is in his history and since he is an 8th LvL Thief, 1 lvl above his 7th lvl as fighter, he gets all his fighter skills. I think I could hold my own with Arien behind me.

What I'm asking is, I make the rolls....

10 6 17 12 20 8 15 10 14 12

Then we get into a saving roll needed situation. Do you plan to pick one of the rolls that we gave you or what? I thought all saving throws were made at the time needed.

See confused.
