The Sojourning Six - OoC

Remove all ads!

Satyrs are the only race that are exclusively male (as swanmays are the only race that are exclusively female), and yes, you should be chasing kuemp's character around. The main disadvantage of satyrs is that they all have a weakness for a good bottle of wine or a female with a CHA of at least 15 (especially if she has a good bottle of wine to share ).

Well, it looks like we have our six. EI gets the Ogre Mage, and Nakia and DS need to decide who gets whom (though it sounds like Nakia would like the Satyr). I'll PM EI on the Ogre Mage post-haste, and get back to Nakia and DS a little later in the day once they've decided.

@kuemper:
It's all you. If you'd like my opinion on any of them you can PM me, but otherwise I'll be trusting your judgement on the matter.

 

I'm also a bit limited on my AD&D knowledge too, so Nakia, you're not alone . And the Ogre Mage would be great!

 

Ok DarkStrider, shall we toss for the Fremlin or Satyr? I think you would be better at spell casting than I would. But it is up to you.

I'm curious if Satyrs are only male and Swanmays are only female how do we get little satyrs and swanmays?

 

Swanmays recruit normal human females for their ranks, and satyrs...ummm, hold on while I consult my MM.

Ok I'll take the Fremlin, you can chase the nymphs and dryads

 

Thank you DarkStrider. :wink: So we're almost set. Now Fel just needs to PM our basic characters.

Fel, don't hesitate to give me lots and lots of info. For instance, this satyr is he your typical goat legged pan pipes playing satyr? Goats have an interesting leaping ability and do not eat tin cans.

 

Cool. I have to go somewhere soon, but I'll send you guys PMs when I get back in a couple hours.

EDIT:
Much weirdness. It turns out my character can't afford a bow just yet since wilderness protectors get only 15-60 gp at starting and a giant-kin bow costs 125. So now the ranged fighter has turned into a melee fighter (for the moment; once he gets a bow he'll be using that and much more dangerous than he is now), and the melee fighter has turned into a ranged fighter because he'll be the one starting with a bow!

Anyway, the character thread is up, but there's absolutely no pressure to get your characters in quickly since I've just sent the last two PMs only a couple hours ago, and haven't yet gotten a response on either. It'll probably be a little while before the RP actually starts up, so that I can make sure everyone's on the same page before we do.

I started my character. Felinoid please check and make sure he is hokay. I need some help.

1)AC with dexterity?

2)What weapons would he use? Cross bow and short sword? Can he have something a little more exotic than a short sword?

3)What armour does a satyr wear?

Wish you could just go in and fix him.

 

@Fel I don't have 2e PH can you choose his spells and let me know thanks

EDIT: Btw Mystra is to blame for my stats I got her to roll them in MM

Well, we could have just settled this in PM, but I guess this way we get some posts, eh?

1) As I said in my original PM, DEX bonus stacks perfectly onto natural AC. So Burkey would have an AC of 1.

2) Did you get my e-mails? The second page (Weapon Proficiencies heading) lays out what they can pick at first level. In addition, you can pick out any thief weapon as per your kit. Sorry, no exotic stuff for satyrs (unless you count the pan pipes and the things they can do with them).

P.S. @everybody: After first level, you can pick whatever you want; the reasoning being that you start with tribal weapons, and then learn about new ones when you go out into the world.

3) The best you can get (for a bard) would be chain mail, and that's only as good as your natural AC. So that's 1 point lower AC (for additional armor) at the cost of your thieving skills and spells. Plus it'd have to be a custom job to accomodate your goat legs, and would likely cost more because of that. So I'd say none unless you find something that won't hamper your spell-casting.

Go tell Tal that.

@DS:
I think I'll give you...six spells at first level; as a scholar you probably worked hard to get your tiny hands on as many as possible.

Illusion spell (required memorization as a speicalist): Spook
Non-memorizers: Conjure Spell Component (I'll just assume you use it when necessary ), Find Familiar (a reason for accumulating 1000gp), Read Magic (kind of a must)
Memorizers (choice of 2):
Any BG2 first-level spells
Fire Burst - 1 damage to everyone within 10 feet of a fire source.
Fist of Stone (from the ToM) - Turns one of your fists into stone and gives you 18/00 STR with that hand. Lasts 1 round/level.

Well, tell her she did a good job; they look quite real.

A few clarifications for DS:
1. Is your fremlin male or female?
2. Remember you can memorize two spells at first level as a specialist. You only have to memorize one first-level illusion spell (in this case, Spook), and can use the other slot for another spell.
3. If you want, you can bump your HP up to 4. Anytime I DM I always allow max HP at first level.
4. BTW, 5 STR will get you some penalties in melee combat: -2 to hit, -1 to damage. That means that your THAC0 will be 22 and damage with your stick will be 1d2 - 1, which just ends up being 1 since you can't do 0 damage. Of course, this would change if you cast Fist of Stone.

@kuemper:
For starting the RP (I think you should start the thread), it will be your visions that lead you to each of us, gathering the party. Since all but EI's character are forest-dwelling, we'll be found first, and then the five of us will set off for the city. The only other thing I'd suggest about the order is that you find my character before Nakia's since you'll need someone strong enough to peel Burkey off your leg. After the party is together, we can start pursuing your visions about our quest.

 

Well since I bugged the hell out of them I've found it's a he As for melee combat he's scared of just about everything so he'll be doing a lot of squealing and flying away

EDIT: Oh and he's abit scared of finding a familiar when he's got the cash in case it's bigger or stronger than him

EDIT2: Before anyone (other than Fel) complains about Zed's attitude, fremlins are usually whining, complaining about everything, scared of just about everything and lazy. They also go into snits about the slightest insult real or imagined and may fly off and come back later whenthey've forgotten what happened. I'm going to try and play in that character as much as possible

I see it went through. Yayness! I can change the title of the RP if needed, but come on. I had to put out something other than Felinoid's Humanoids Only RP.

 

Cool so why haven't you changed the others then

 

No one likes a smart dracolich.

I hope it's what Feli wanted.

 

S'a'ight. I've changed the two other threads to match your title. *smacks DS as an afterthought*

BTW, am I supposed to make the next post, or were you going to run into someone else on your way to me?

 

I intended to head for you, so you post next.

 

Hmm, that turned out a little harsher than intended. But when a character pulls you a different way than you want to go, who is the player to say no?

Um, anyway, I think I may have figured out what could convince Keimal to go. Protecting his area could be done via the kobold; it could scout and report back to the other Voadkyn. (So long as the quest doesn't take too long; the odds are that the spell won't be resisted for 6 months by a kobold, maybe a year.)

And then getting him to come along...treasure. As odd as it may sound, treasure would get him that bow he's yearning for that much faster. Perhaps Avril could notice Keimal's lack of bow (odd for a Voadkyn) and connect the dots?

 

DS can post if he likes. I'm sorry that I'm sounding so vague and disjointed with the visions. The gods aren't exactly clear on what Avril needs to know until the absolute last minute. Gods are fickle.

 

I really feel like having Keimal complain again, but I'm afraid it's becoming a little too much. I thought I might work in a "What's next, a pixie?" comment.

I don't want Keimal to be quite so annoying; he's supposed to be jovial, damn it!

@kuemper:
Don't worry about the "vague and disjointed". It brings a better feel to the visions; even traditional oracles never got the full picture. Or did you really think they spoke in riddles just for kicks?
