That he did.

Ummm... maybe I wasn't quite clear enough, but she threw up all the ale she had drank.

Well, Nitram and I are in limbo for a bit. Don't let that stop the game.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 10:18 am

That's what I get for posting at 4 am.

Fixed.

Don't worry, I'll wait for you two until Nitram either gets better or you feel you need to step out, but that won't stop the game. I should be able to milk another day or two out of the Garxon situation.

The main game will start when someone arrives with ominous news and a group of skilled individuals is needed to go out and check on something that the locals can't due to both fear of insufficient firepower and because they need everything they've got to protect Ashvale and prevent a riot. You'll thus know very clearly when the game has moved on.

If there's one way to irritate a braggart, it's to blatantly not care about his bragging.

Though at the end of the day, Bartel is still a cleric of strength and destruction (be damn glad I didn't pick law), so this might turn interesting yet.

In other news, I wish I'd thought to prep neutralize poison. One shot of that and he'd be immune to alcohol for hours; he could just drink this moron under the table no matter how much it took.

Sadly, I did not.

And I will openly state that despite that I'm certain your belly would actually fill up and not allow you to drink anymore before Garxon got sufficiently smashed.

The "American Beer" effect. Actually, your bladder fills up first.

Yeah, it probably would, mainly because he seems to get more of it on the floor than down his throat, something I have no doubt is deliberate.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:24 pm

I must admit, I was hoping for the paladin to show up because she would have been much easier to cause to blow up than Bartel. Oh well, reality has a way of waylaying plans, doesn't it? Still, a cleric of St. Cuthbert is still the sort of thing Garxon would have fun with.

And yes, Garxon realizes that its easier to 'drink and entire cask of beer' when you bite a hole in the side and the majority of it goes on the floor.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:29 pm

Okay, important question. Does this bastard still have the humanoid type, or is he something else now?

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:36 pm

Hmmm... that's up for Bartel to decide from what he sees. I must say though that if you think that he doesn't have the humanoid type anymore then he's probably so far beyond your level it wouldn't be funny.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:38 pm

Well, we're about to find out, aren't we? Oh yes, Bartel remembers his orders.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:39 pm

I suppose the question is, "What exactly is Garxon holding?"

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:40 pm

By the description, a holy symbol of St. Cuthbert, or close enough. I daresay Bartel knows enough about his religion to know for certain even with only a short glance. So is it, or not?

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:49 pm

It's not a holy symbol of St. Cuthbert, although it is probably made by someone associated with the church. You're lucky you changed your mind before I finished typing because the spell would have failed.

Cynical Cat · Post by **Cynical Cat** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:51 pm

Nicely done Academia.

Rogue 9 · Post by **Rogue 9** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 12:52 pm

Well, when he does get a reason, and I have little doubt he will, that's still going to be the opening move, whether it's doomed to fail or not. So when that happens should I just declare it failed, or does he still need to save?

Yes, you're right. All he'd have to do is endanger her ward, and she'd have flipped.

Alrighty then, let's see what this does. Basically, Garxon possesses demonic beauty and can fascinate people who look at him... even though he's some sort of unholy cross between a human, a demon, and a dragon.

Incidentally, how exactly do we want to do rolling for the PCs? I trust you guys not to fudge your rolls, but I was just wondering what the standard method here was for accounting, whether or not the PCs rolled stuff like this or just let the DM do it.

EDIT: Oh yes, I should also mention that I have access to my computer again (yes!) so I now have access to my messenger services once more. I'm usually not on AIM though.

You could always use the dice system in the board, like so:

Let's see what that gave me.

If you want, we can do dice-rolling in the post, which would make it easy to judge. Or in the OOC thread, so the IC post can just focus on what happens.

All I have available is AIM, ICQ, and YIM; most others are about the same. Would you be willing to consider opening AIM too?

Hotfoot · Post by **Hotfoot** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 10:51 pm

Wow, my character is absolute shit. Teach me to be a smartass.

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 10:51 pm

I have AIM open right now, it's just that I usually have MSN on and I have to close it down and fire up Trillian to get AIM running.

And... let's see if this works:

Academia Nut · Post by **Academia Nut** » Mon Sep 29, 2008 10:56 pm

And unless Rogue 9 wants to do his own roll, Bartel passed. What he does next is up to him. Although if he did fail the check it would be kind of funny as he would have to sit quietly and stare at Garxon until Garxon left the room. Garxon, knowing this, would stay in the common room and perform acts of debauchery all night in full view. He's an asshole like that.
