A couple goods guided us through the woods. We just found a bunch of bads with the leader about to enter a well-fortified bad town. <Foster> We skipped a relatively unfortified town earlier, and Foster melted the brain of some big cat thing. <Erias> Yes, it pounced on one of the guides and we all swiveled toward it and then its brain melted. <Erias> I had almost enough time to get my mace out. <Grith> Go Erias! <Fordran> i think he's going to attempt Diplomacy with said mace. <Erias> +2 circumstance ftw! <Foster> It should be noted that this is the first time since the start of the game that Foster has managed to melt something's brain. <Apol> We are all less than 25 feet away from the Big guy and his hairy multi-armed entourage and the town walls (that also may be alive in not so natural ways). <Fordran> your next fear should be Great Diplomacy (allows another Diplomacy attempt at a target within 5' after you have successfully "diplomacized" a target) <McMartin> It made an interesting first combat to witness. <Fordran> s/fear/feat/ <Grith> (wait, the -walls- might be alive?) <Foster> They're made of trees. <Foster> Very closely spaced trees. <Erias> Okay, I am set up; I will get food later when we have an initiative cycle. <Erias> Oh, battlemat prep, right. <Fordran> i like this widescreen monitor. i can have two huge ssh windows up. <Fordran> one for IRC. one for bmat code. <Erias> Unfortunately I don't have Diplomacy yet, so I can't take Great Diplomacy <Erias> which is a shame, since this mace gives you up to one more Diplomacy attempt when you use Great Diplomacy <DM> Hm. It's a lot darker on Fiona's screen, lemme update the map <Erias> Nice. It doesn't work on my secondary screen (due to darkness) but that's really my fault -- I've set that screen really dark so irc looks better, since that's what I usually use it for. <Apol> Also, assume there is a lot of undergrown between the trees. <DM> Fixed <DM> Well, fixed somewhat <DM> (I'm using my old gamma shift for Ian's screen) <DM> s/shift/shift values <Foster> looks fine from here. <Erias> tweaking monitor (I'm really using some pretty messed up settings) <DM> Also, the jungle is not that sparse, but it'd be a pain to explain which parts of the undergrowth are rough terrain and which aren't <DM> So I just didn't put undergrowth <DM> MCM, lemme give you an observer map <Fordran> hm. observer map. there's an idea. <Grith> (oof) <DM> Grith: You wake up after the night of revelry at the Kumarti camp, seriously hung over. <DM> Maybe you shouldn't have had that second barrel of melon wine. <Sam> (barrel. barrel barrel barrel barrel!) <DM> One of the Kumarti hunters is waiting for you when you leave the guest hut, and, after a bit of preparation, and some more melon wine to quiet the pounding in your skull, the two of you set a brisk pace to catch up to the party. <DM> Along the way, you find the still-warm corpse of a large gray jungle cat. Streaks of drying blood stain the fur near the ears, and various carrion-eating insects are swarming the corpse. <Sam> (we found him that way, honest!) <DM> You catch up as the procession of Makumar approach the gate. <Grith> (Melon wine, sweeeet.) <DM> Hm, I guess that means you get another Kumarti guide. <DM> Alright, everyone who wants to, init. * Erias ponders. <Erias> well, okay, I guess I do. <Erias> |roll d20 <tafal> 19 | [d20=19] (Erias) <Fordran> |roll d20 <tafal> 4 | [d20=4] (Fordran) <Foster> |roll d20+1 <tafal> 3 | [d20=2] [+1=1] (Foster) <Vita> |roll d20+5 <tafal> 21 | [d20=16] [+5=5] (Vita) <Sam> |roll d20+4 <tafal> 21 | [d20=17] [+4=4] (Sam) <Grith> |roll d20 <tafal> 19 | [d20=19] (Grith) <Apol> |roll d20+1 <tafal> 7 | [d20=6] [+1=1] (Apol) <Erias> (Wow. 19 wasn't even that good by comparison.) <McMartin> (Idly: Han Oppression Javascript puts makes me imagine this: http://www.stanford.edu/~mcmartin/oot.png ) <Fordran> (dude you signed the NDA) * DM changes topic to 'ECLIPSE | Vita (21), Sam (21), Erias (19), Grith (19), Apol (7), Fordran (4), Foster (3)' <McMartin> (That's GtkHanOppress, totally different) <McMartin> (Shutting up now) <DM> -> Vita <DM> One thing to keep in mind <Erias> They're bigger than us? <DM> You don't have to attack immediately * Vita takes her bow off, rides Pup over closer to the silver makumar and asks "Um, what do we hit first?" <DM> If you want to ask questions, that's a free action, and then just delay your round <Vita> I want to move though <DM> Ok <DM> Feel free to request move <Vita> (If I want to sneak how slow should I go?) <DM> 1/2 speed <Erias> (You can still double-move if that's all you're doing this round (and you can still draw your bow), I believe) <Vita> Oh, right <Vita> (One sec, re-requesting move) <Vita> (done) <DM> Which request? <DM> Longer or shorter one? <Vita> longer <DM> Also, the Makumar are considered "Large," so really occupy 10x10, but that's unsupported by BM <DM> Treat the markers as the upper left of where they begin <Erias> Would you like us to assume a particular -- okay. <DM> -> Sam * Sam reminds his fists and feet to be ready, just in case. * Sam tries not to look too threatening in the meantime. <Sam> (delaying until makumar go) <Sam> (done) <DM> -> Erias <Erias> (Paladin vs. Surprise Round) <Erias> (; ;) <McMartin> (Does the page autoupdate or do I have to reload it?) <DM> (reload) <Fordran> (you have to reload) * Erias already has his mace out (see log from last time).
