Should make for an interesting change of pace, and in keeping with this little arc (seeing as it's been mostly roleplay anyways). And I always like to solve puzzles. :)

I saw Gabe's post at Penny Arcade and thought it would be neat to do a puzzle.

Then you come along with your puzzle.

It wouldn't be mirrors now would it, Mr. Nacy? :cool:

So yes, I wholly support a puzzle. :D

Maybe an occasional hazard of a minion or two, but a dark passage calling out to Adia that eminates an ancient evil that requires some puzzle solving?

Count me in. :3

PS: If Square-Enix has taught me anything it's that puzzles usually have a treasure or two hidden in them. :biggrin: I mean, sure, your puzzle could not have treasure, what do they know, they're only the biggest RPG developers in the world.. *cough* :ninja:

I am not a subtle man.. =|

I will give you this though. It's going to be a flash back sequence. Meaning it won't have anything to do with the current story arc (I feel it's lacking something and could use the two weeks to add to it). It will feature your characters meeting up for the first time.
So it will be interesting to see you start your relationships with each other.

Oh that's up to you. I'm not sure when you decided to become a good person. Was it before or after you met with the party? But either way you'd probably still be "new" at it, so no one can fault you for slipping a bit.
Though I'd be interested to see the reverse of Adia. She's gotten quite a bit more demented as the game has gone on.

Is it alright if we keep making hilarious comments in the past knowing how things will actually work out in the future?

Ie. Adia: "Nice to meet you Kratash. I'm sure we're gonna get along juuuuuust fine."

Also somewhat more seriously, can we alter our pasts here? Like by grabbing tings that it's now assumed that we had all along, etc.? Also, are we playing our level 1 selves?

Aw, man. Insane.

Let's see-- Serin's pre-game self:

Quiet, reserved, contemplative, and practical.

... Not much difference, huh? Though I guess it would explore her budding friendship with Adia, which probably spawned more from Adia being the talkative "leader" type while Serin just kind of got caught up in things and dragged along.

For future games though, I really wanna work in Serin's rarely seen 'mischievous' side. Or rather, her 'bane of society' side. She did indeed hire herself out to shady groups in the past, and imitating others and stealing was her livelihood. It seems believable that with her talents she might want to slip into her ways again, like 'slipping into' a house and making off with some valuables.

Granted, her comrades have had an effect on her and she might actually care what they think now.

Oh yeah! Pre-game / Pre-meeting up Serin is immediately (immediately being a few weeks) after escaping the guard in [insert town name here] after her arrest. (As seen in her journal entries!) I don't guess she'd let on that she's a changeling either. Accidental slip ftw!

Yeah pre-game Errik has never left [insert city of our meeting here]. He's still pretty evil and confused about where to go next, and there are still plenty of Lorenos still moving out of the nearby defunct Loreno compound.

We just stopped, after we freed the lady. I have to make 4 Thievery checks above 20, each of which took 15 seconds, with 5 minutes left to go.

We made it out with 2:30 to spare. :D

Sorry Gurp. =[

Good session, Shawn! I was surprised by how well it went. I honestly expected it to plod along while we tried to figure out what happened. =P

Since no-one's brought it up and you asked, I vote we continue with the main quest and then 'flashback' whenever it's necessary.

Sigh, no game this week. ;_;

Oh well, gives me time to work on projects.

I figured that was how we were going to do it. I didn't really want the flash back to take more than one session. I was hoping we'd finish that particular adventure but there is only so much we can do in the few hours we have to play. So we're just going to go back to it later.

Hey Shawn, remind me of something:

When we hit level 5, my tome's new powers are supposed to kick in, granting me access to the Fireball daily. The item itself says that it grants access to 2 fire-based daily powers, but did you tell me that it only grants one (for now, at least)? I can't remember and it kinda determines whether I'll retrain at lvl 5.

You will get just the one spell at level 5. The other spell will appear later. Most likely when it can be used as a story element.

Speaking of level 5 everyone will be leveling after tonight's session.

Okay. I ad just thought of retraining my Flaming Sphere away and taking it a bonus daily. Wizard's Fury is a level 1 daily that sounds excellent. :)

Yeah but that was 2 weeks ago. We took last week off because Shawn said he needed it off but then didn't but by then I did and Shawn ended up getting a date.

It's been 2 weeks since flashback, 3 weeks since the story proper.

So, level 5.

Trying to decide my daily.

Thinking:

Acidic Implantation: Pretty bitchin', can set up some decent "bombs" this way. (Attack does 2d6 initial damage to target, allows me to slide target 3, then make an "explosion" 2d6 attack to adjacent enemies.)

Moon and the Stars: 3d6 cold or radiant to two enemies (Cold- slowed, can't shift, Radiant- spend healing surge [good against undead too]) / Miss: Half Damage

Thunder Leap: 2d6 Damage to all adjacent, jump speed + 4 (10 spaces), make 2d6 secondary to all adjacent in new space. Pretty good, almost like a teleport in battle. Could use it to get a boost to any jumps I might need. Only problem is that I'm never surrounded and wouldn't want to make myself surrounded.

Howling Tempest: Burst 1, 2d6 initial. Can slide initial targets 4. Any creature starting turn in zone takes 4(+4) damage, persist minor. Not liking this one as much.

Ice Javelins: I like this one only because it suits Serin's personality. Attack 3 enemies for 1d10 dmg, ongoing 5 damage. Miss: Half dmg.

Any thoughts?

No thoughts. Most of them sound awesome to me since I don't really know sorcerer stuff.

I retrained my old one-enemy Daily to Tempest Dance, which lets me potentially swoosh around and hit three enemies.

New one is Cometfall Crusher, 3d10+9 damage to single target. Will get my new sheet to Shawn sometime this weekend.

What the hell! The Arcane Flame or whatever it is feat is gone. The one that lets me attack with a fire attack to make the enemy vulnerable to cold. Did they scrap it???
