Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion


Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Kaila not in good mood. Not in good mood at all. And all she wanted to do was make this a special day for Ventus and Dasyra. And instead now she's got a new enemy and tons to fix.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Hmn. Well you kinda started off with an enemyesque situation, but we'll see. I'll propably let blue respond, give mindflayer a chance to respond, then move the story along, see how the player interactions do after a little shaking up. ^^
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Hopefully after a rest, cus Kaila's kinda low on spells right now so I'll be playing high level commoner probably.

Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

I mean I do have a few spells left. But they're almost entirely defensive.

Hoping to get a post through today. Last night I ran into technical difficulties.

-2 penalty close skill substitution, as Kailas backround doesn't lend itself to extensive experience with elven or undead wedding receptions. To simplify: Just because you can make a mean salad from your work of 3 years as a cook in an elven commune doesn't mean dwarfs are gonna like it.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Well it's just there is no craft cook. If there was I woulda took it instead. And could I not roll knowledge Local/Religion to negate the penalty, since she might well be familiar despite her background.

Wrong, craft skills, same as profession skills only have a recommended list. I could have craft: Pinatas and profession: Taxodermist and do some really messed up things with slain enemies.

DC is 25 religion due to obscure knowledge, will negate 2 points of the penalty, however, now its a -4 penalty for turning this into an actual issue, I literally just want you to roll up something so I can give you a 2-3 sentence response on how much everyone did or did not like their meal laters.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Well it's along the lines of what do my skills do or don't do then :p So it kinda matters. It's the diffrence of do I have +6 or +13 to a check. And A matter of what my character does or does not know. It's why we have knowledge skills at all to determine what a character knows. Because there is the chance they've heard something or seen something so we have these skills so we don't have to write 26 years worth of background to decide what a character does or does not know.

So it does matter.

Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Well, if it matters to you: Craft makes something specific, profession makes something general. A wedding feast for a noble clientele (Considering her knightly backround Ventus can be qualified as lesser noble) requires a more specific check, unless your backround indicates otherwise and backround is more than just written things, for example if she was a half-elf I'd let it slide.

Some people like writing 26 years worth of backround, trust me, I've seen them. I'm more of the camp that I know very exactly what my character would or wouldn't have experience in if it comes up, for example, Xirce makes a muderous chilli out of own enjoyment of the taste but is too lazy for most other recipes, Ventus would get all cooking wrong due to lack of practice.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Okay, Underdark Dasyra update done. Going out with friends for Friday evening, but will be back after that and write for the other threads.

Dasyra is happy to dress up in something that Ventus' finds attractive. She won't object to something slutty, but nor would she object to something traditional/romantic either. It's up to how Ventus wants to display her to the rest of the party, I guess.

She will totally braid Ventus' hair in fancy ways, too.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

More will be revealed in a larger post I plan to make the action move along. Vel and Lena can continue lewdities in a time-bubble, but I want things to move on a bit.
Braid dat hair hard!

Also.. woo! Do piratey responses! Have fun going out too though!

Aww.. no responses..

I'll just imagine you did with all npcs having dialogue like sexual lobster:

Are we still going to be able to have some communication between everyone in the party? And will we be able to role play through the wedding meal that Kaila has been trying to serve?

I intend to fast forward past the meal, why?
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Seems like it would step over something that Zilrax has been trying to do since the party arrived at Everfrost. Would be a shame to not acknowledge it in some way. I was going to have Dasyra warm to Kaila for making the effort.

I guess it depends on how far past it you were intending to go.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Alright, I'll keep it in mind.
 
Re: Trapped in the Underdark ~ Out of Character discussion

Cool.

I figured SOMEBODY in the group ought to appreciate Kaila. And Dasyra seemed like a good option to keep things semi cohesive.

I haven't much clue how the relationship with Lior and Ventus will go.
