Espada:&quot;Hi~!&quot;

VAE:I ran the server last week too, Saph

Saphroneth:Huh, must have never clicked to that.

Kiera::v

''Sharpshot4321 has connected. ''

Sharpshot4321:ello ello?

Saphroneth:Ohayo.

Ganti:Yo.

Meany:Ladymen.

VAE:Owlmen

Saphroneth:Farmers!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ugh.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(What? Nomads don't distinguish between civilized peoples unless they make an active effort...)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, as promised, I have a NPC cleric for you lot. Or at least I will as soon as I find a decent token art for him.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I like the new techs this SotS mod gives, and the new look for all the ships.

''<font color="#0000ff">Sulucamas has connected. ''

RAM:<font color="#990000">But seriously.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Howdy

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yo Sul.

RAM:<font color="#990000">AI Virus took me 8 turns.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">which mod? ACM? X3

RAM:<font color="#990000">Slaves will take me 80. =3=

RAM:<font color="#990000">ACM, yeah.

RAM:<font color="#990000">And that's assuming I don't get hit with an AI rebellion.

RAM:<font color="#990000">In which caseit jumps to, like, 200 turns.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Which the game seems to have already decided will happen. =3=

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, we're just missing Hyuu then.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ooh, that'll do nicely.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">he was on IRC earlier but disappeared :x

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, he said he'd be back about now.

Meany:<font color="#333333">Get the ritual ready.

Meany:<font color="#333333">We must call him back.

Meany:<font color="#333333">From the dead.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Draw the circle. Prepare the blue fire.


 * Meany does.


 * Arcalane sets up the incense burners.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(anyone?)

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Sorry :B

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">what no skulls? What kind of ritual is this without skulls?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">???

RAM:<font color="#990000">I'm working on it.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's from Prince Caspian, when a werewolf and a hag are conspiring with one of the Dwarfs to bring back Jadis.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">the smoke comes out of the nostrils of the skulls

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Do do de do.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">coolio :)

RAM:<font color="#990000">It takes time to harvest fresh skulls for every ritual summoning.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">I actually really liked Jadis.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">She was fun.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">On the other hand, super evil.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">She cast &quot;Power Word: omnicide&quot; on her first world.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Who? :.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The White Witch.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(from Narnia)

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah, her.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I actually have a Narnia short fic, where the basic concept is &quot;wait, Eustace STOPPED being a dragon? Who would DO that?&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">I totally agree with that statement

RAM:<font color="#990000">Eustace: &quot;OOGA BOOGA BOOGA!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Want link?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Power Word; Omnicide? Sounds like fun

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(It's got an attempt at original flavour, which means I try to copy a 1950s writing style... all formal, and such.)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And it's called the Deplorable Word - she used it when revolutionaries broke into her throne room, and everything on the planet died except er.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">This is from &quot;The Magician's Nephew&quot;, BTW.


 * Ganti headdesks.

RAM:<font color="#990000">I...vaguely recall.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">You know, I keep patching Flaal's token up, and it keeps having everything vanish when we start up the server again.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Am *I* doing something wrong? D:

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I can no longer remember what went where.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I have NO idea if you're doing anything wron Sul.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Me neither! xD

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I'll fill in that data, though

RAM:<font color="#990000">You know what else might help?

RAM:<font color="#990000">A real fucking picture. :P

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">No reason you should be doing my legwork (though I totally appreciate it)

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">:O

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">:OOO

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">He also is not showing the stats like the rest of us

VAE:<font color="#000000">What does Flaal look like?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, I'm not a wonder, but I could try to sketch ya something.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Instead of the Java logo.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">In the configuration tab, there's a menueer that's labled 'properties'. It's currently set to PC. DON'T switch it to basic.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">This makes me want to get something MORE ridiculous

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Give us race, skin, hair, scars.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and yeah.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">We will give you images.

VAE:<font color="#000000">if you switch token type

RAM:<font color="#990000">Unless.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Of course.

VAE:<font color="#000000">it results in blanking of everyrhing

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">purple man with wild strawberry hair.

RAM:<font color="#990000">You just want to be different from everyone else.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">It keeps switching to basic, which is BAD. PC is what you want.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">done!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Fucking hipster.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I'm gooogling that, Sharp

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">what has science done!?!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">aw, disappointing :(

Ganti:<font color="#003200">&quot;Done&quot;? You don't seem to have done anything to the Token I'm looking at.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">&quot;Done&quot; as in I was condoning Sharp's shenanigans

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I'll get a real picture, don't worry y'all!

RAM:<font color="#990000">Sure you will.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Hipster.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">:U

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">you say that like it's a bad thing!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Try saving the token.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It is a bad thing.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That way you will hopefully be able to load it in (add to library?) if things go duff.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Wilco Saphroneth

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">when I'm no too busy being ~HIP~

Ganti:<font color="#003200">You know what? I'm going to go poke the token on the Icarus. See if that's also broken.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">unless he hid it somewhere I don't see any copy of him on the ship

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I don't either.

RAM:<font color="#990000">He probably did.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">aye, I just moved it here

RAM:<font color="#990000">That's what hipsters do.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">xD

Ganti:<font color="#003200">So, back to... the Market

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Join me, RAM...

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">...and together, we shall RULE THE SKYLANDS!

RAM:<font color="#990000">I will never be a hipster! &gt;:O

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Indeed, be evil. much simplier.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Then you will....DIE!

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">also a lot less hair dye

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">google totally failed on that front...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Just use an oompa-loompa.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">creepy grin oompa-loompa

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">8P

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">XP

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">you people are terrible

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">But then y'all just rage about it not being serious enough :3c

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">you a java cup.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">you can't get any less serious

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">brb

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">at least he's not a trollface token

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">alteast he would be serious troll then

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, still June 19. The dragonbreath storm is still going on. You're in the inn, where you met a former scout for the Steel Hordes, upon which you promply recruited him and ordered food. The Kerramite Kebabe was just served in a dramatic fasion.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">That's &quot;horde of steel&quot;, thank you very much.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Well, officially, anyway.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">moar liek bored of steel

VAE:<font color="#000000">Saph, you'll laugh

VAE:<font color="#000000">In one of those arguments I shouldn't get into because they're epic wastes of time.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Someone claimed that believing a statement is different from considering it true

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, that's tricky and a semantic argument.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The word &quot;belief&quot; has so many different unconscious and casual usages.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">on some levels its true, on others it isn't. Then again I am useing truth in my argueing statment thus making my statement invalid for this argument.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">@-@

VAE:<font color="#000000">I .. . didn't understand that either.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yo soy estrangero XD

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">you can't argue the meaning of truth and use the meaning of truth in the same arguement. Its self serving logic.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, but the arguemnt was around what does &quot;believing&quot; consist of.

''<font color="#0000ff">Hyuuint has connected. ''

VAE:<font color="#000000">nothing to do with the meaning of truth

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ah, hello!

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">hi, sorry I am late

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ah, Hyuu! Excelent.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">They haven't started yet.

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">Bro needed help, I owed him, AND the computer went through the updates

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Don't worry about it.

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">map?

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">the arguement was if believing a statement made it true for that person. That is a arguement of both the meaning of belief and the meaning of truth

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Najib Market.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">ah

VAE:<font color="#000000">nonono Sharp

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">w/ Ganti Ah, let's see...

VAE:<font color="#000000">The argument was whether &quot;I believe X&quot; means &quot;I consider X true&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Which is. . . an appallingly stupid thing to argue against

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Sneaky Sneaky Sneaky....&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 16 + 12 = 28&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">See this guy? No ya don't, he ain't there. &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 9 + 12 = 21&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">thats what I said....

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">How can one believe something they do not consider true?

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*sneakin up on the foxy person....*

VAE:<font color="#000000">I don't know either.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I can see how the other way around works (I don't &quot;believe&quot; in gravity, as such).

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Or in Chalk.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Gents, I do believe we have a D&amp;D game to stop derailing

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Sure.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&quot;HIYA MISS FOX!&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Mardak appeared like a Romulan decloaking.

Espada:<font color="#990000">!

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">more like a Klingon mid-battle cry

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Being as quick as he is, he attempts to dodge and/or prevent! In that order if need be. &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 4 + 9 = 13&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Your image keeps making me think your a vampire or very emo...

Espada:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 1 + 9 = 10&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Touch attack!

Espada:<font color="#990000">=3=

Espada:<font color="#990000">Espada jumps several feet in the air and lands in a heap.

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Um. :27 lagcheck? ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 6 + 10 = 16&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187; I have excellent spot stats for once! Also, this is a free action.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*i just don't get enough sun. Shadows and all*

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">:27.

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Okay, not lagging. ))

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*pets the fox-gal, and grins.* &quot;Sorry love, ya get used to it. So! What be on the agenda? Sorry I haven't been 'round much, been dealing with...business, as you may know&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Oh, brilliant. I knew one like this in the army.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">...

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, sneaky as a reed among straw, anyway.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 12 + 9 = 21&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Touch attack again! &gt;:|

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Being as quick as he is, he attempts to dodge and/or prevent! In that order if need be. &#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 2 + 9 = 11&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 2 + 2 = 4&#160; <font color="#000000">&#187; Spot. Isn't alertness an awesome thing

Espada:<font color="#990000">And I don't remember the grapple stuff.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*darn you gods of sneak, you have failed me today!*

Espada:<font color="#990000">I always forget.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">It isn't. Especially when your snake is a dunce

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Touch attack.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Grapple check.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Opposed check.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Grapple check being...?

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Deal unarmed attack damage.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">http://www.d20srd.org/srd/combat/specialAttacks.htm#grapple

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Bab+Str+Mod.

Espada:<font color="#990000">That's what I always forget.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">The Mod is if you have improved grapple.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Ah.

Espada:<font color="#990000">&#171; &#160;1d20+9 = 4 + 9 = 13&#160; <font color="#990000">&#187; Grapple check!

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Now the opposed roll.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I think quadrupeds get an advantage too... not sure.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">That's only to prevent tripping, IIRC.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&#171; &#160;1d20+2 = 20 + 2 = 22&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, yeah.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">:V

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Also, wow.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Eel-like!

Kiera:<font color="#003399">did somebody cast Grease on Mardak?

''<font color="#0000ff">Glitch has connected. ''

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">does he even have bones?!?

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">He's greasy enough, the little rat.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">HA! Somehow, the gnome is now riding the foxy gal!

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">Innocent whistle.

Espada:<font color="#990000">More like dice hate me today. =3=

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&quot;Now how in blimey did that happen?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">&gt;:O

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Now that is cavalry...&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">Sau claps his hands and spreads them, producing a rainbow.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;Magic.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Oi, off!&quot; &gt;:O

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*hops off.*

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;And stop sneaking up on me like that!&quot; &gt;:|

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Mardak?! Well. At least you didn't show up when anyone offical could see you. And please leave my cutomers alone...&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">...I forgot.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ehh.. you know him, miss?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">I have Uncanny Dodge.

Espada:<font color="#990000">I can't be sneaked. :B

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">he wasn't sneak attacking you :P

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">one moment

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Everyone in the market knows him.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Same here.

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">Who plays Espada

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">RAM.

Innkeeper: <font color="#3200">(( That would be Ram. ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Close enough.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do they, now?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:''<font color="#000000">Bugger. Because we really need someone to attract that sort of attention. . . ''

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&quot;hey Afaf! No worries, I be with these customers. They be my shipmates!&quot; Grins. And to Espada: &quot;Aww, but it's ever so fun. But, tell ya what, I likes ya, so no more sneaks unless necessary.&quot; And with that, he hands over a peace offering in the form of a wonderfully juicy looking prime cut of steak.

Innkeeper:<font color="#003200">&quot;Shipmates?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">:O

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Lightly roasted, I take it?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">Omnomnomnomnomnomnom!

Arcalane: <font color="#3399">(( afk for fud ))


 * Afaf blinks. &quot;Shipmates?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't think the fox cares, either way.&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&quot;More like heavily nommed now, but no matter.&quot; And with a quick scurry under the table, he pops up onto a seat, and looks about, happily anxious. &quot;So, we going where, hm?&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Well, isn't that quite a mess on the table. :B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;We got another conscript here. Behter, or what's his name.&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&quot;Yep! Poor market is gonna be short one Mardak, cause I be in the privateering business! At least for a little while&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hey, conscription is for farmers.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Do you need to shout about it? Gods.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Yes?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">*sigh* &quot;Because we all know just how welcome certain sorts of private business are ... like.. .everywhere.&quot;

Afaf:<font color="#003200">&quot;I... see. Well. I'm sorry to see you go.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;What's next, going into a brothel and shouting 'I AM A LUETIC?' full-mouth?&quot;

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">internally, I bet she's partying :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">! not ?

VAE:<font color="#000000">in the enclosed sentence of course

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;What's a brothel?&quot; :.

Afaf:<font color="#003200">&quot;....&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;It's ... uh.. where gentlemen go for a bit of entertainment.. eh.&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">&quot;For that matter, blimey is a Luetic?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Like games?&quot; :o

Afaf:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Really, really innocent that spirit is.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">I feel like I should be getting popcorn for this

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;. . . Sure, you can call it like that&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Brothel is where idiots pay for what they could get for free.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Fun games?!&quot; :O

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( I need to go look up cleric rules. ))

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">:|

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And believe you me, some of my squadmates were a bit too affectionate with their horses. Not me, of course.. you already know what I think of them.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;You know. .. that's a fairly pervasive rumour of your lot.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;That you love horses.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;What do horses have to do with a place where you have fun and play games?&quot; :.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Dressage.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Unless you can, like, ride horseback there. But that would take a lot of room...&quot; :.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;And yeah, well, it's the result of spending bloody months out on patrol, I think. Hell, for fifty years the Sultanate thought we were centaurs!&quot;


 * Mardak is trying so very hard not to crack up. His normally blank white face is growing redder by the second.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;A Regular fellow, then?&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I know, it's kinda obvious.&quot; :B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Cleric of Bran? What's one of yours doing in a pub?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Last I heard, you weren't big on booze&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;It is an excelent preservative.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Hop hop hi! :D

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yeah, right.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Not Arak. You don't want to have that anything near what you want preserved.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">give it a lick. Bet he tastes like rasins.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;You heard of Arak?&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;I am afraid not.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Whatcha doing here?&quot; :3

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Basically, you take gin, and you flavour it. The normal flavouring is pepper, mustard seeds and a little gunpowder.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;It has a REAL kick.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Lookee, as long as you don't raise trouble, do what you want. Doesn't mean I won't be watching.&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;I am told that a ship that has done the temple a favor requires a healer.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh Bast.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Oh hush Sandor. He's a follower of Bran. He's good people.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">&quot;Imma Imad, u mad?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;He's been good people, you mean.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Just to check - Bran is a god of..?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Undeath among other

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Zzzzzzommmbieeeessss..

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Semantics.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Ah, I remember the undead. Fought one once. Took half an hour.&quot;

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( Death, undead, those who fight slavers, and various benevolent airship pilots. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">Human God: Liberation, Undeath, Good, Death. Br&#229;n. Master of the Final Airship: A cheerful, pleasant to be around, freedom fighting, large ham God of Death. Who's primary response to immortals and undead is 'Well, as long as you didn't kill anyone for it...' His clergy haven't been around long, but are rapidly gaining in popularity. They're really creepy. Why isn't obvious at first. They want to help EVERYONE and are willing to help in any way they can. Healing? No problem! They'll do that. Assigned as a Jury? They'll be fair and just, if a little lenient on good adventurers. Warding against evil Spirits? Sure! Construction? Well, they're bad it it themselves, but they'll recommend the best people they know and send their servants over to help. Werein lies the problem. Their servants are normally low-grade undead.

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Turns out arrows just don't work on a skeleton.&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;No. They do not.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, on the other hand, dry meat catches fire rather nicely.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Heh, that reminds me of a story.&quot; :B


 * Imad tromps over to one of the tables and leans his spear against it, sitting down on the bench.

Arcalane: <font color="#3399">(( wait, wait... Brother Imad. u mad, bro? XP ))

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*keeps an eye on them armored toes whilst he keeps to the shadows of the table.*

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yep

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( Hush you. ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Actually... how was getting here? If you're made of dry flesh and rags marinaded in alcohol, I'd have laid even odds on you exploding.&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">Arc got it even better

Arcalane: <font color="#3399">(( he mad ))

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;See, and then they wonder why I don't like him.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Which would have been hilarious.&quot;

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( He's a Skeleton. Wearing Mithril chainmail. ))

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( This is just the best image I could find. ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Fair enogh.

VAE:<font color="#000000">oh Bast. Reminds me of the Akellon pun.

VAE:<font color="#000000">How Burmy would have to leave her butchery running on skeleton crew.

VAE:<font color="#000000">(Dread Necromancer, uses undead for labour)

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;There was this one time, me an' Samara were fighting together back during the war. He takes an arrow to the eye socket, didn't even notice.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;That Mithril? Sometimes saw some incredible show-offs wearing it in the Regiment. They didn't last long, mostly because it's shiny. You don't want to be shiny when you're operating a day's ride ahead of the main army.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Left it there the whole battle.&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#cc">(( Okay. ))

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">funny how a skeleton crew round here is probably accually manned by skeletons.

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#cc">(( Distraction level 54%. ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Old Temuge plundered one of the sets, I think, and wore it under his clothes. Much more sensible, if chilly.&quot;

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#cc">(( Great grandpa is worse than originally thought. ))

Aurixsauriv: <font color="#cc">(( Need to watch him. ))

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;It is indeed Mithril.&quot; His head swiviles around to look at the fox. &quot;...&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I'd have guessed a bit of mud would go a long way towards taking care of that problem.&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;So. It would seem that I just hapen to stumble upon the crew I was assigned to aid. Interesting.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I said show off.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Interesting indeed, if a little contrived.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The morons didn't want to get it dirty.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">its ok, their blood washed off just fine.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;How did they live long enough to scrounge for it?&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*is stuck under the table cause the guy in armor ain't leavin*

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;I try not to question things being contrived when they work out to my benifit.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;The showoff wore it on the outside. Temuge looted it, stuck it under his clothes in case anyone noticed he'd got it. I only found out when he took an arrow to the chest and it bounced.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I mean, it sounds like one of the guys our shift supervisor caught smoking while working with gunpowder.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;So, we're sitting around after, and I look at him and go, 'Hey Samara, you've got an arrow in your eye!' And he says, 'So that's what's making my head itch so bad!&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;'Hundreds of men flew up in air like this. What the fuck do you think you're doing!?' 'Calm down, boss, there's just two of us.'&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">A facepalming skeleton apparently produces a hollow sound.

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;... If I make it back from this, I'm going to need to ask for a raise. Or something.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Umad bro?

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;As you'd guess, the way it ended was with them getting a recon flight without an airship.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;That said. . &quot; *he turns to the skeleton* &quot;You haven't done much to show that things, or you yourself, are working for our benefit.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hah! Now, that IS stupid.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Either way, if you want in, you'll have to talk to the boss. up in the ship.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Don't worry, I'll vouch for ya! Any follower of Bran is a friend of mine!&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">You think you hear muttering. Listen check.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Them little ears hear plenty, I tell you. &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 2 + 11 = 13&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">:B


 * Flaal tries to NOT listen :|

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;Really, really need to find something that I want to make it worth the hardships.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Aww, I'm not that bad.&quot; :B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Oh the hardships. You're sitting in a pub, though I imagine the bones must make for crappy seating.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Ask for training to lichhood. I hear that s a decent unliving.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;Relative to their species, you do have the needed lack of worldly knowledge and understanding of common vernacular.&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">brb

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Don't forget, skeletons can't drink. It all runs out again. Unless they stand upside down and use the skull as a goblet.&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">Skelletons do deadpan really, really well, apparently.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Fair enough, I see how that'd be a drain on morale.&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Well they've got the dead part down alright.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;I've been asleep for, like, four thousand years. What do you expect?&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">back

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;A little dignity. That's not too much to ask, is it?&quot;


 * Flaal cocks an eyebrow at Sandor

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;So! We getting going, then? I want to see somewhere new! Where is this ship of yours, then?&quot; *sly look at Imad* &quot;Does it have a closet for the skeleton?&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">around these people? Yep

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;I intend to treat you with plenty of dignitiy, sir.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;Aurixsauriv, wizard of the crew. :b&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Well sooo sorry for not being all gloomy, mister sourpuss.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;I don't have a bone to pick with you either, yet&quot;


 * Flaal slumps his head onto his hand and rests there

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;I have heard as much, sir. Apparently you managed some nice edits on Samara's most recent attempt at re-introducing wizardry.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;He did a good job dumbing down, but he didn't explain things quite well enough.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;...And he tried using a diagram for third-level spells as the base diagram for magic channelling...&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Samara never was a very good teacher.&quot; :B

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*starts to realize that armor boy, apparently a skelly to boot, just ain't leavin. GAH!&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Genius in his own right, though.&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">He's on our side you oaf, pay attention to the conversation. :v


 * Imad seems to have decided to ignore the giant blue fox until he gets over the mental dissonance of what he's been told and how she acts.

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">ahem, I be roleplaying

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">Mardak is not a fan of undead. Can't stab 'em properly

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( Quite right. Mardak has a reason to be acting the way he does. Just not one shared IC yet. ))

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;So, let's polish off the rest before it gets cold, and then we decide what to do about Mr. Big Bone there.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">All the food has already been polished off. :B

Espada:<font color="#990000">Shoulda been paying better attention.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">. ..

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">She's like a little hoover with legs.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Why is my plate empty all of a sudden.&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Buuuuuuuuurp

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;You ignored it too long.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;It's not our decision to make, like you said.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Excuse me.&quot; :B

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I can see you've not been a military man, Mustache. Eat when you can, sleep when you can, fight when you have to.&#163;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Damn right I wasn't. Like I care for getting shot at.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Come on, let's go! I bet the Captain has another job lined up!&quot; :D

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;Sounds like someone's been telling horror stories about the Janissaries again.&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*A cue!*

Mardak:<font color="#000066">See this guy? No ya don't, he ain't there. &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 4 + 12 = 16&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">He becomes a little ball of gnome, as he rolls on by his enemies! &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 12 + 12 = 24&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;They're not bad, on the defensive, but they're nowhere near as effective on attack.&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Sneaky Sneaky Sneaky....&#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 11 + 12 = 23&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Spot &#171; &#160;1d20+10 = 17 + 10 = 27&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Hey, what are you doing?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Eh. Bunch of fancy hats. No match for the Imperial Army in terms of either kit or training.&quot;


 * Mardak makes a SHUT UP motion as he deftly tumbles out the door, and out into the street

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;They don't have a real counter to good horse archers. They can screw a melee cav and infantry army over sideways, though.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Halberds, and all that.&quot;


 * Imad looks at the now open door. &quot;... A friend of yours just vanish?&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Not a friend exactly, but yes.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Ours is a working relationship.&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I was mainly wondering why he opened the door. It's still hotter than devil's armpits out there.&quot;

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( Lapkat. ))

Espada:<font color="#990000">Ohey there Behter.

Espada:<font color="#990000">Lift~

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Unless it's a Gelugon.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Come on, let's go!&quot; :D

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Well, time to earn our salt.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">Sau sets down some coinage for his water, and heads out.


 * Flaal follows and waves goodbye as he exits

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">*restows bow, and likewise pays* &quot;So, which way, then...&quot;

Espada:<font color="#990000">Behter is carried out by a fox.

Espada:<font color="#990000">:B

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Indeed. A pity we don't have time to stay longer, eh, Miss?'&quot;

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Gah!&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( I have this mental image of 'spada carrying him by the back of his collar ))

Behter:<font color="#CC6600">Ride &#171; &#160;1d20+11 = 19 + 11 = 30&#160; <font color="#CC6600">&#187;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, right.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Pity, that was a good roll.

Espada:<font color="#990000">So, back to the ship!

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( but she's not big enough to do that without him dragging along like a ragdoll XP ))

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*if they be heading back to the ship, he tails, and does his damndest to be out of sight by that undead person*

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">*smiles at the innkeeper, then gets up* &quot;Maybe we'll make a time when you'll be a bit less busy.&quot;

Afaf:<font color="#003200">&quot;Come again!&quot; She calls. She seems to have enjoyed everyone except the sorcerer.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Hey Captain! We have more crew!&quot; :D


 * Roland will be resting on the handrail of the deck when you return, and... goodness is he humming?

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;What a livid woman..&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Hey Captain! We have more crew!&quot; :D


 * Imad closes the door after he leaves and follows along with the others.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">As they get back to the ship, Sandor transforms into his more usual, slightly serpentine self.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;You got a job for us? I wanna go on an adventure!&quot; :D

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Looks like someone woke up in time for everyone else to get back! The tallest member of the away team wanders out of her quarters, stretching out lazily. &quot;More replacements?&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">What time is it, Espada?

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Yep. We got some fresh meat with us.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Hi Kiera~!&quot; :D

Espada:<font color="#990000">Lickinz time! :D

Espada:<font color="#990000">:d

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">I was going to say adventure time.

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">But that works too.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Waugh. XP

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well. . some of it is not so fresh, or meaty.&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( outta my room skulker &gt;:o ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The Musket in the real world, for a ridiculously good unit of veterans, could maybe hit five rounds per minute.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">WHY ARE THERE NO GOOD HIDIN SPOTS???

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh. So a loading time of a full round, slashable to a move action with a feat, would represent it fairly

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;... I see.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Nope.

Roland:<font color="#006666">brb

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">A loading time of one full round WITH feat.

Mardak:<font color="#000066">See this guy? No ya don't, he ain't there. &#171; &#160;1d20+12 = 5 + 12 = 17&#160; <font color="#000066">&#187;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">Kiera steps aside as the Captain shows up, sizing up the fresh (and not so fresh) meat.

VAE:<font color="#000000">That'd work out to three shots per round

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Without feat, more like two or three. For a rifled one, five with feat.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">There's ten rounds per minute.

''<font color="#0000ff">Ganti is disconnected. ''

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Crap...

VAE:<font color="#000000">. . .ten, not six

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( ruhroh ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">me fail


 * VAE fail

VAE:<font color="#000000">VAE minute has only 36 seconds

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Anyways. The rate of fire for the Musket in the DMG is stupid.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Honestly the Musket and Pistol suck arse anyway

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's basically giving &quot;veteran with a Springfield or Chassepot breech loader rifle&quot; rates of fire for &quot;anyone with a musket&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And 150 foot range increment? WTF.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">yeah, but 1d12. so you could take a neat chunk out of someone's face, or barely scratch them.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Fairly realistic.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">yeah, real-life musket firearms do not work well in a d20 system if you want to go for realism.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I mean, remember, most levies will have 1d4 hp.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yep.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If you're a skirmisher, you can hit targets a few hundred feet away. It might make sense for the range if it assumes all players use rifled muskets, but in that case the rate of fire should be absurdly small.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Gunpowder weapons are good because they're able to be used en masse by people and they don't need good Str to fire.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Still, I liked the way we did guns in DnDMFA. Long reload times, and not great damage, but counted as Simple weapons

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Not because they're individually superior.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I just want a revolver for K someday. Reloading between each shot is for chumps.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It took until the Springfield/Chassepot/Sharps/Dreyse Needlegun before an individual soldier with a rifle was better than a trained one with a bow - and that's 1850s minimum.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Heck, I read a third-party supplement last week that went into great detail about how exactly reloading a musket works, and time time it took (anywhere between thirty seconds to a minute depending on the skill of the user and the type of rifle).

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, rifles are longer than muskets until the Minie ball.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">It went into all that detail, then proceeded to say &quot;None of that works for a game. It sucks.&quot;

Roland:<font color="#006666">back

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I liked my own homebrew stats...

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">&quot;If you're going to use it for a game, make the reload a full-round action.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They assume 1860s tech level.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">The GM d/c'd so we're arguing about guns.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yes, that is fine.

RAM:<font color="#990000">There was also this thing where you basically just dropped a vial down the barrel, shoved a bullet after it, and fired.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Reduced reload times significantly.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It still needs to be rammed.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That's the Minie ball.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">mmm, paper cartridges

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Napoleonic war veterans with years of musket drill is basically &quot;full round action to reload&quot; a musket.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Muzzle loaders are inherently slow.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">....Hmmm....

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The minie ball made things a lot faster because it eliminated windage, so the bullet could be small enough to easily slip down the barrel and could engage with the rifling.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">...hey. Hey Ram.

 * Glitch wonders how the Doorknocker would work in D&amp;D...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Hmmm... that'll be crap accuracy and probably range.

''<font color="#0000ff">Hyuuint has connected. ''

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And not nearly as powerful as a musket, actually.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">heh. makes me think of the Breech-Loaded Pistol from BL:R

Hyuuint:<font color="#000066">thank you

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Saph; saying that about what Ram just said?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">one of the alt. rounds is basically a giant shotgun shell

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The reason muskets had five foot barrels is because of the need to avoid gas escape.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">You're right, actually. The Doorknocker was a short-range weapon.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">But it was made to be anti-tank armor-piercing.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, wait...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">13mm is .51 cal, if I recall.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That improves things a lot.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It was totally impractical.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">above .50 call

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Same things apply, but less so.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">12.7mm is .50, so yeah, about that

RAM:<font color="#990000">Range and accuracy are horrid.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Recoil is massive.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(That tech level means that you're using smokeless powder, which burns much faster, so the gas is produced faster)

RAM:<font color="#990000">Designed to puncture the weak spots on a tank at point blank range and kill the crew.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Fun fact - even with a six foot long rifle, a black powder weapon produces a massive two-meter plume of flame, because the powder is still burning as it leaves the gun.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Literally knocking on the door.

''<font color="#0000ff">Ganti has connected. ''

Glitch:<font color="#000000">Ram; but it did have a totally awesome &quot;CHEWM&quot; sound. :&gt;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Against light armoured cars, that would work... oh, hai

RAM:<font color="#990000">Like I said.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">ah there he is

RAM:<font color="#990000">The weak points.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Drivers port, commander's hatch, etc.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Sounds like a weapon to give people SOMETHING to do without them needing to have a massive great AT gun.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Hi Gan.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">What's good?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If it's post-Panzerfaust and hence post-disposable AT firepower, then there's very little point.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">In this series, the faction did not make an anti-tank rocket or fieldpiece.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">...eejits.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">|D

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Okay, I saw NOTHING after saph was complaning about the absurdly fast rate of fire from the muskets. ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">It also had an extended barrel and a very big cartridge.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Right, sec...

Glitch:<font color="#000000">(this is a setting where the weapons are about WWI era, but the tanks are WWII era)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I'll whisper Ganti the lot.

Glitch:<font color="#000000">So, what does this faction do instead? They make the Doorknocker.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Almost WW II era for weaponry.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, there's one thing I can tell. Half of us here are fresh meat ,not used to fighting together with the rest.&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">My thoughts: sometimes.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Eh, depends on the system.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Depends on their damage.

Kiera:<font color="#003399">&quot;Did the monastery offer any insight into what this Order did, exactly?&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">In Path, yes.

RAM:<font color="#990000">In 3.5, never checked.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Which I never liked, personally.

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( i never realized guns were a offical part of 3.5 ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">You try catching a supersonic ball of lead.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They're BADLY statted.

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Yes. Flaal here is from the Order of the Flowing Wind.&quot;

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( thought it was a house thing. ))

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">As I spent some time saying...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Deflect Arrows, the spell, is DR 10/+1

Roland: <font color="#6666">(( I ment the feat but whatever. just conjecture. ))

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Yes, I am aware that your 'empire' has the literal translation mean something rude. It's much more fluid in Mehmish.&quot;

RAM:<font color="#990000">Ah.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Well then.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They're similar, aren't they?

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( focus people XP ))

RAM:<font color="#990000">Path says yes, dunno about 3.5, I say it would be bullshit for someone to deflect bullets.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I have three conversations going on...

 * Roland is still humming on the deck, might be drifting down the hatch if the wind isn't too loud.

Sandor Munkas: <font color="#000000">&quot;Flowing wind. . . you get it? It's an order that's got the blowhorn between the two hills go off quite often&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">@Kiera &quot;I assure you, there's too little known about them to be of much use for our purposes.&quot;

Aurixsauriv:<font color="#0000CC">&quot;Yes, let's.&quot;

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Yay!&quot; :D

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Said it already. Let's forget about passing gas for now, and go for the island.&quot;

Mardak:<font color="#000066">Thinks islands could be interestin....*

Behter :<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Where's this island, then? Someone got a map?&quot;

Kiera:<font color="#003399">She leans against the door. &quot;Either's fine by me. Just wanted to know why we're going there and if there's anything important we should be aware of.&quot;

Flaal:<font color="#006666">&quot;I wish I knew.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;We're being payed to find out what's living there, and if it's hostile, clear it out. Anything important... Bran's folks brought the hammer down on a necromancer that had been operating around there slightly before it went silent.&quot;

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">&quot;Not sure why they did that.&quot;


 * Kiera glances at Imad at mention of Bran's people.

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;... We're going to the Earthen Order.&quot;


 * Imad seems worried. Upset. ANGRY.

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Well, isn't most unsanctioned necromancy bad?&quot;

Imad:<font color="#003200">&quot;... Imperial twit.&quot;

Sandor Munkas:<font color="#000000">&quot;Tends to get you in quite the spot of- Fuck you too, bonehead.&quot;

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( now imagining Imad as having floating eyebrows like Ennesby from Schlock Mercenary ))

Kiera: <font color="#3399">(( solely for the sake of expressiveness ))

Imad: <font color="#3200">(( Heh. Not bad. ))

Mardak:<font color="#000066">*good riddance to necros*

VAE:<font color="#000000">I. . dunno

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ganti said we are

Flaal:<font color="#006666">they answered

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ganti hasn't said we are.


 * Ganti shrugs.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Following the leader.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">I did ask how far out the islands were but that's about it

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">it's a couple of days before the cutting is done

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Unless they feel like answering Espada...

VAE:<font color="#000000">did Espada ask anything?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yes.

Espada:<font face="Segoe Print" color="#990000">&quot;Oh yeah, I keep forgetting the gems. We should wait on those so we can buy new stuff!&quot; :O

VAE:<font color="#000000">That's a ... question now?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I hope we're still going - that is, we can timeskip the gems stuff. For myself, I don't have anything to say on this one way or the other because I'm The New Guy.

VAE:<font color="#000000">And Sandor is a slightly older new guy

VAE:<font color="#000000">about two weeks older, I think

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( No, we can't timeskip the Gem stuff. You lot had to go and pick the dungeon that wasn't finished, or even halfway finished. ))

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( So you lot get to RP that while I scramble. ))

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">still doesn't answer my 'how far out' are the islands thing |D

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Anyone for switching dungeons on that basis? :P

VAE:<font color="#000000">hahaha

VAE:<font color="#000000">Ganti, hint.

VAE:<font color="#000000">When there's no legit choice, don't offer one.

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( Yes? ))

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">^

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I suggest we do the finished dungeon.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">On the grounds that, while we do like choice, we also like combat.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">murder and loot is good for the spirits

VAE:<font color="#000000">It'd have been completely believable if the old monastery cleanup's been the only possible bit of work out there.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">well it's not like we're going to start either of them this session

VAE:<font color="#000000">Because, well, it's a really nasty season out there, anyways.

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( There was SUPPOSED to be one. I wasn't expecting you lot to decide that you were tired of waiting. Or ignore the fact that I've been telling you that I WAS NOT DONE with both dungeons. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">So we were supposed to adivine which one wasn't done?

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">now its both dungeons?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Never mind. . . it made IC sense for everyone to push and rush

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">IF there is a dungeon ready, we pick that one.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Bored troops.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">IF not, then we can wait around a bit more.

VAE:<font color="#000000">or rather, pirates

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( I've finished one of them. And no, you weren't supposed to divine which one wasn't done, you were supposed to keep RPing. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">which is even worse.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">we need to do the gem stuff anyway which will eat up the start of next session regardless of which one we actually decide to do.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">so ultimately the choice doesn't matter because you still have a week to finish up the monastery

VAE:<font color="#000000">Yeah

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">damnit ganti, we wanna kill shit and put ourselfs in stupidly dangerous situations. OBLIGE US!

VAE:<font color="#000000">Arc speaks truth

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Basically, I dislike OOC information, but in this case it is essentially necessary. We could at least get the gem stuff done, set sail, and land (how long left in the session? Potentially a few hours?)

Glitch:<font color="#000000">heading out

''<font color="#0000ff">Glitch is disconnected. ''

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">least 2 hours till we normally end

RAM:<font color="#990000">Aaand I need to go shower then head out for dinner.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That should be enough for the gem stuff, easily...

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Meany and Hyuu are highly distracted. and now RAM is leaving. XP

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( About an hour. ))

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">and we're all unfocused again

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( I've finished the Monastery. ))

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( I haven't finished the island. ))

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( And I have no idea what anyone's saying anymore. ))

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">...and we were going to go to the monastery so I'm not seeing what the problem is here then

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">WHAT WE HAVE HERE IS A FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">@_@

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Behter is &quot;well, time to wait until we land... damn, I almost broke fletching&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">He doesn't mind one way or another.

Elisavet Michelakos: <font color="#3200">(( No, you lot demanded the island. ))

VAE:<font color="#000000">We did.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Which one is the necromancy one? The monastry?

Elisavet Michelakos:<font color="#003200">Yeah.

VAE:<font color="#000000">for plain IC reasons, which boiled up to ranomenss

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">K doesn't mind. Then Imad got mad, and we figured maybe we should check out the monastery first?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I thought what happened was that the Cleric said &quot;we're going to the monastry&quot; and nobody countermanded it.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">^

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">So, by default, monastry.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Well, yeah

VAE:<font color="#000000">As soon as the cleric heard about necromancer

VAE:<font color="#000000">he got really prickly

VAE:<font color="#000000">hence, insult exchnage with Sandor

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">Sau just wanted us out of port ASAP before people die of boredom by the looks of things.


 * Imad has a very good reason for wanting to deal with the monastry.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">But that's a plotthing. Not spoiling it.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I am for &quot;timeskip to next essential bit, gems, then head to monastry&quot;.


 * Ganti sighs.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If the only person with a strong opinion is the cleric, well, we'll listen to him.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Sorry for screwing up like this, peeps.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Nah, it's fine.

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">your getting between us and faster XP :P

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I don't see a problem. :)


 * Arcalane swats sharpie

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">heh

VAE:<font color="#000000">No prob

VAE:<font color="#000000">I did worse at times

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( Actually, the Monastary would be the fastest EXP. But Hyuu's kinda needed for that. It's got traps. ))

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">I abstain from the vote.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">well at this rate we're not going to start on either of them until next week anyway

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, now. Do you want to delay for a week and hope that I'll have about half the island sketched out, or grab the gems and jump to the monastary?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">given we're down two or three and unfocused this is probably a good place to call it for tonight XP

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">We can at least get TO there.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">take in mind mardak is the guy who knows the gemcutter, and 'spada was with him at the time.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">so yeah there's that too

VAE:<font color="#000000">Arc is probably right

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay, if their players are gone... shall we get to &quot;Right, next session starts with gemcutters&quot;?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I mean, there's a lot of plot going on in IRC

VAE:<font color="#000000">I for some reason have a fucking cough spell

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">that's what I've been saying, Saph XP

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Okay. Critical path.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Arc wins

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The current critical task is &quot;gems&quot;. Are there any others?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If there aren't any other tasks waiting, that suggests ending.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Don't think so. We handled the hiring.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, next session starts with the gemcutter. I SHOULD have about half an island ready for you lot to poke at by then. Should we just vote after the gemcutter issue?

VAE:<font color="#000000">And I mean. .. let the tasks take an IC path. I mean

VAE:<font color="#000000">Skeleton seems strongly in favour of monastery

VAE:<font color="#000000">Most are opposed to it, but if he can argue the point. ..

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Si, Ganti

Imad:<font color="#003200">If it is what I think it is, Bran will be MOST pleased if I can clear out the Monastery.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">x/

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">We can sleep on it and then have a revote IC. Maybe if madbro explains what he thinks is going on. :V

VAE:<font color="#000000">^

VAE:<font color="#000000">that 's what I'm suggesting

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Right-o, then.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Let it be handled IC

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Right.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">cheers

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Anyway, OOC-wise I should have the island up to atleast some exploration and a few encounters by next week. Still got the stats for an encounter you lot sidesteped a while ago, so I can reuse that.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">heh. I think I know what that might be.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Oh?

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">we never did explore the rest of that cave :P

Ganti:<font color="#003200">It's not the cave.

RAM:<font color="#990000">So, what'd I miss?

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">EVERYTHING ON THE RANGE

Ganti: <font color="#3200">(( And pay attention. ))

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">GO BACK TO BASIC &gt;:O

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Er.

RAM:<font color="#990000">Bitch I shoot Expert.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, hey. That enough to allow gem plot?

RAM:<font color="#990000">Also, Arc.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Home.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Home on the range.

RAM:<font color="#990000">It's &quot;What we've got here is...failure to communicate.&quot;

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Where the deer and the antelope play.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">but anyways

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">noms, then? :v

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like I said

VAE:<font color="#000000">Espada for innocence

VAE:<font color="#000000">Mad Bro for Bro I Mad, u mad too?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The rogue guy for &quot;tumble tumble shutup tumble&quot;

VAE:<font color="#000000">That, too.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">MArdak, that's the one.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Espada for &quot;You are coming with me... whether you like it or not...&quot;

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Sandor for a painful number of puns


 * Arcalane noms 'spada for noms. As in, eating everyone's food when they were busy arguing. :v

VAE:<font color="#000000">seconding

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">Mardak for the shutup tumble. spada for wanting to visit a brothal

RAM:<font color="#990000">Time to go omnomnom!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Aurixsauriv had a good line in &quot;I am not with these people&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">spada for vacuuming the table of food

RAM:<font color="#990000">Be back later!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And Imad was fun in terms of &quot;These are the clowns I am working with? And that is a god?&quot;

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">mardak for somehow having 2 raw steaks on him

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I'm vetoing any more espada noms.

VAE:<font color="#000000">What'd be any others?

Sharpshot4321:<font color="#006666">thats all from me, being called away

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Any for Behter?

''<font color="#0000ff">Sharpshot4321 is disconnected. ''

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hmm

VAE:<font color="#000000">Fun banter as usual, but nothing distinct comes to mind.

Meany:<font color="#0000CC">Behter, and Sandor for Stringe of Entendres.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;Are you insinuating something?&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">'kay, fair enough. Hopefully things will pick up with combat.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, any for Flaal? Or Kiera?

VAE:<font color="#000000">Flaal

VAE:<font color="#000000">The Order of Farting Monks

VAE:<font color="#000000">Seriously

VAE:<font color="#000000">Flowing Wind

VAE:<font color="#000000">I cracked u

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">That goes to Sandor!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">more puns!

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">you know, if he surpassed level 20... would that make him an Epic Flaal?

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Also, you can thank the GM for the name ;)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, I couldn't come up with anything better.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Flaal got randomly cryptic for a bit.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That was kind of funny.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot;I have nothing to offer but sundered hope&quot;.#]

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Not everyone needs a nom. :P

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">if he starts spouting ice cream koans I am totally throwing him overboard

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">just for the record

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I don't know if I can handle all these bad/excellent jokes! xD

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">The loaf of bread that tries to twist its fate is not a loaf at all, but is, in fact, a pretzel.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">No, not everyone deserves a Nom, it's just that I saw some things that Kiera and Flaal did that I thought deserved it. It's just bad form to GM nom for people unless they've done something to make GMing easier.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">roger roger

Ganti:<font color="#003200">... And I use It's Just a lot, don't I?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, no prob there.

VAE:<font color="#000000">. ..

VAE:<font color="#000000">Liatai GM noms people all the time


 * Ganti still want's to trade in the B1 for a Droideka.

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's not bad from

VAE:<font color="#000000">*form

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">8V

VAE:<font color="#000000">Noms literally exist to recognise particularly awesome or amusing performances

VAE:<font color="#000000">No matter who thinks they were such

VAE:<font color="#000000">Hell, I gave GM noms in my game

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Ganti, I'm sorry to say that you'll be given opportunity for that one for a long, LONG time. xD

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">and let's be fair, as far as making GMing easier, I did try and untangle our communicative failure and set all our facts straight. |D

VAE:<font color="#000000">What would be bad form is self-nomming

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Fair enough.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like, a GM awarding them to NPCs who nobody else seen a reason to .. but then, that'd be pointless, too


 * Ganti is new, and would like to think that aside from a few major things falling apart on him, everything's turned out pretty well.

VAE:<font color="#000000">as a GM can do with their skills/level/XP whatever he wants anyways.

VAE:<font color="#000000">Like I said

VAE:<font color="#000000">you aren't doing that badly. Not worse than I did, as Saph can attest.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Heh...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">One of the reasons I pushed for action is because one of the most wearying things that can happen in an online D&amp;D game is for there to be entire sessions of talky.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">It's enjoyable, yes, but it also gets wearying as said.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">wordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswordswords

VAE:<font color="#000000">Heh. Happens often in Akellon, actually

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">swords!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, any other noms?

VAE:<font color="#000000">It's good, if there's reasons to talk

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">don't look at me, I'm starting to wind down a bit

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">I'm good

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Can't think of anything.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">This sessions Noms: Sau: 1 Roland: Kiera: &#16;Espada: 6 Sandor: 2 Flaal: 2 Mardak: 3 Bether: 1 Blair: Imad: 2 GM noms: Keria for &quot;If you have any information, SHARE IT&quot;, and Arc in general for helping me patch up communications issues.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">|D

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">so is that one or two for K, then?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Yeah, the general lesson there is &quot;Espada was hilariously played&quot;.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Two.

VAE:<font color="#000000">yep

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Like I say, I loved the whole &quot;I need you over this way! *lift*&quot;

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">welcome to sessions-with-Espada, Saph

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Okay, Total AP should be Sau: 28 Roland:17 Kiera: 19 Espada: 24 Sandor: 7 Flaal: 3 Behter: 4 Mardak : 5 Imad: 2 Blair: 4 Gomez?: 1 Gonzolez?!: 1 Inkeep?!: 1 Dr. Seamus:6 Kasnok:22 Althilmil:27 Sera: 29


 * Ganti probably shouldn't still have the people who dropped out on there, but what the heck.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">wonder if strikeout works

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">huh

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">anyways, if we're done, I'll save a log and stick it up on akellondrive

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Thankies.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Test

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, want me to try to make some saner musket rules?

VAE:<font color="#000000">I'll save one

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ayup. Code is what I thought it is. I'll add it to the referance doc.

VAE:<font color="#000000">and put it up on wiki

Arcalane: <font color="#003399">YELLING

VAE:<font color="#000000">because I run the server!

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Let me know a rough century to work with, and I'll see what I can do.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">(that's 'big')

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Right, I'll see what I can do.

Arcalane:<font color="#003399">log savedddddddddd and I'm out

''<font color="#0000ff">Arcalane is disconnected. ''


 * Ganti is vaguely poking at wikipedia for a sense of where each country is.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Basic concepts I'll work with: &quot;Slow reloading&quot;, &quot;powerful&quot;, &quot;can still be stopped by armour&quot; and &quot;ease of use&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh! Matchlock, wheel lock or flintlock?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Hm.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(Matchlocks are the simplest. Wheel locks are fiddly, but have less setup time when needed. Flintlocks are more advanced.)

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Probably Flintlock. Steam Engines are common enough. Steampunk, remember?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">True, true...

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Can I assume that there's bayonets?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Three kinds of those, too.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Plug, Ring or Socket.


 * Ganti seems to recall there being experiments with repeating rifles around that time, but you can ignore that if you wish.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Plug is &quot;plug the musket with a dagger&quot;.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Aye.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ring is &quot;on a ring, snaps on when needed&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Socket is &quot;locks in place&quot;.

''<font color="#0000ff">Meany is disconnected. ''

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ring or Socket seems to be about right.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What I'm assuming is that it's the time steam engines were first *used*, just that they're more *widely* used than in history.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That puts it about 1750.

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Hey Ganti, thanks for GMing. Fun times!

Sulucamas:<font color="#006666">Have a good weekend, all. :)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">You too.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Eh, Blair's got a steam powered suit of power armor.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Well, magic.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Seeya Sul. Glad to do it.

''<font color="#0000ff">Sulucamas is disconnected. ''

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, the 'Engineer' class is basically taking the dreams of Juels Vern and his cotemporaries and applying that as fluff to the Alchamist crunch.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">If we assume that gunpowder tactics aren't up to the kind of drill standard of the napoleonic wars, we have a situation where pikes are &quot;basically not used except by the Sultanate and some other backwards people&quot;.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Or however you spell his name. Guy was semi-tight with Tesla, wrote 20,000 Leagues under the Sea.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Jules Verne.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, him.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Pikes were used for greater standoff distance against cavalry, say. They were still aruond, but like I say, being phased out.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Not long before the Square formation makes them completely obsolete.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Guns... we're edging into true field artillery.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Caissons, cannister... no shrapnel shot, yet.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Rockets as area bombardment.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Very WIDE area.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Sometimes the launcher, who knows.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">And sounds about right. The Sultanate uses them because well. Janissaries.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ayup. I was thinking Canister, maybe a few primative mortars.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Mortars, yeah.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">I assume solid shot... timed fuses?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">And Carcase?


 * Ganti shrugs.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(That means, basically &quot;the bombs bursting in air&quot; and the ability to do a fire attack)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">But they'd be bloody huge.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I don't really know all that much, I must admit.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Same for Howitzers.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh! The Ottomans had a bit of a mad-on for REALLY strange artillery.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Oh yes.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Like this abomination with six barrels joined hexagonally, or enormous siege cannons.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The multi-barrel cannon was nearly useless strategically or tactically, because you couldn't get good grazing shots.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, they really loved this one cannon, can't remember it's name... that was basically a dozen muskets with rifling.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The miltrailleuse?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Or the organ gun?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Sounds about right.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Organ guns are much older tech than the miltrailleuse.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Organ guns are &quot;use them in sieges to spray balls at enemy snipers&quot;.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Miltrailleuse is &quot;hey, we invented the machine gun&quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Puckle gun?

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Think a giant revolver.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">No, not puckle gun. That was british.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Used against the Ottomans. Something about 'showing them the benifits of christianity'.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, one possible &quot;surprisingly effective&quot; tactic - a modernized version of the carriage ballista.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Basically, chariots with rockets in them.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">One-shot thanks to insane load times, but quite startling!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Hm. Organ Gun is probably the one I'm thinking of. One great big cast iron thing with lots of barrels. Not a repeater.


 * Ganti waves hand vaguely.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Ottomans had volley guns with cannon-grade barrels (the nutters)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">&quot; Henry VIII's Walking Staff, a 3 barreled gun and battle mace. &quot;

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">That sounds AWESOME.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah. I was thinking they'd have chariots/wagons with siege weapons in them.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">The reason rockets would be preferred is recoil issues

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">You'd need something very sturdy as chariots go for a proper cannon. Volley gun is doable.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Volly Gun! That's probably what I was thinking of.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">I think.


 * Ganti shrugs.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">What I'm thinking is, if there's relatively few other nations, the Sultanate could be the place where a lot of wild and wacky military weapons go.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Other nations use mainly the practical stuff and musket drill. The Sultanate has that, and pikes and halberds, and Nock volley pistols, and rocket-chariots, and nine-barelled cannons, and elephant-drawn grand siege guns, and...

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Honestly, I was thinking vaguely american civil war era tech for non-&quot;Steampunk Bulshit&quot; tech.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">But I think I like your idea better.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Oh, the carronade is kinda cool.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Basically a sawn-off cannon.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">(Except made that way)

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">They were heavily used on ships, resulting in HMS Victory's biggest weapons being guns that fired 31 kg shot!

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Yeah, I think I saw a page on that. If you can stick around in Liatalk, I need to go eat dinner. I'll be back shortly, though.


 * Ganti also suspects he's lagging again.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">Sure.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">:01

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">:02.

Saphroneth:<font color="#CC6600">:03.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">:03?

Ganti:<font color="#003200">Ah.

Ganti:<font color="#003200">:14 at :14.
