Subject: No
Ion, Varen in fact did not have a sword on him in the throne room. And while I fully applaud your logic, I must admit that is not what I had in mind. But a good DM knows how to think on his feet, and I intend to do just that.
Brianna, where exactly are you searching, and for anything in specific beyond the obvious that you are seeking an exit?

So let's say 2 missing fingers on his left hand (right handed though) and a minor but permanent limp due to his legs being broken repeatedly. What sort of penalties are we looking at there?

Topic: RedWyrm School of Online Adventuring - Q&A
Subject: dunno
More than likely Zeph will just avoid this particular Elf for the time being, wouldn't want to jeopardize his place in this school just yet after all.
A few questions, if I decide the brutal lifestyle this poor goblin grew up in has left him more or less physically handicapped (for lack of a better word), would that impose skill penalties? For instance, if he lost an eye would he have a penalty to checks involving sight? Would missing fingers impose penalties on checks using his thieves' tools? Would a permanent limp impose a penalty to Move Silently, or even lower his speed? I'm tinkering around with a few ideas as to how damaged he actually is, both physically and mentally.

Topic: RedWyrm School of Online Adventuring - Q&A
Subject: This should be interesting
I have been looking over everyone's character sheets, and I just happened to notice that our friend the Wood-Elf Ranger has chosen Goblinoids as his favored enemy, this should play out nicely with Zeph being a Goblin with a particularly strong hatred of Elves after his encounter with the Half-Elf...

Topic: Orion Group - Q/A
Subject: details
Probably should have made that clearer, but everyone is in the room, it is a bit of a team building exercise as well. The pedestals stand maybe 4 feet tall, just out of the reach of a small character like a halfling. And yes, this means you are all locked in a room with no way out in sight with a wolf who may or may not take too kindly to being "caged". That all depends on the druid though.

I'll work out a character asap, probably be Monday before I get anything else posted though to be honest. I may be able to fit something in tomorrow after work, but I'm making no promises.

Topic: The Orion Group -- Gestalt 3.5 D&D
Subject: Moving on...
With introductions more or less out of the way Varen addresses you once again, "As you are aware by now you each have been selected to," Varen trails off a moment as if thinking of the appropriate word to use next, "audition for membership within The Orion Group. In order to become members though you must pass a series of tests we use to gauge your abilities and usefulness to The Group. If you will follow Leo back out he will take you to the Testing Area and we shall see if you are truly worthy." With that said he bows graciously and dismisses you to follow Leo, just before you exit his chamber he adds, "Any questions you have will be answered after the tests, we can't tell new recruits everything after all."
Once out of the throne room and back into the main courtyard Leo turns and motions you to follow him to the so-called Testing Area. He opens a thick steel door and motions for all of you to enter the room beyond. In this room there are three four foot tall pedestals, each bearing a sword on a stand, each sword seemingly identical at first glance. There are several torches lining the walls, all casting light around the 20x20 (16 squares (4x4) for you more visual players) room. From outside the room Leo addresses you once again, "Your task is to determine which of these blades belongs to Lord Varen, find your way out of here, and return with the blade to the throne room. Let the Test of Wits begin." With that he closes the door leaving you shut in this room with no apparent exit, and you can hear a locking mechanism slide into place. It would seem you are not going to be getting out of this room the way you entered.
((Bonus exp will be granted depending on how creative you get in trying to figure out which blade is the correct one, and of course a small bonus to whoever actually figures it out. Use your heads, take chances, and see if you can figure this out. If you want/need a visual reference of the swords then you can click here. The image is black and white, but the hilt of the swords are made of a jade colored material, the gem is a black opal, and the smaller blade-like object resembles a tooth of sorts, perhaps a dragon tooth at first glance.))

Subject: Back-ish
I'm sure by now some of you have noticed me poking around here and there, so I'm here to say I am officially back, kinda sorta. Finding a job is still my #1 priority, so while I'm looking for work I'll be around a lot less, and once I have a job I'll be around only when I'm not working.

Subject: Only a brief mention
But let's not forget Weird Al's "White and Nerdy" One of the lyrics references D&D. Not quite a song about Roleplaying, but worth a mention I think.

I found this group on Myspace years ago and found this song to be quite funny. I'm just going to link their Myspace page, so enjoy! Though I will admit, I'm not quite 100% that the song is still on their page, my connection is not that good and the music player isn't loading. The Adversary

Topic: The Orion Group -- Gestalt 3.5 D&D
Subject: No need for all that
As the wolf searches for her target Leo places a soft hand on Villieldr's shoulder and whispers to him, "There is no need for that friend, you will have plenty of time to get to know her later. For now I must ask you to please not allow your companion to wander freely in the throne room. The little one will open up on her own terms I would imagine."

Topic: The Orion Group -- Gestalt 3.5 D&D
Subject: Insolent Halfling
As the young Halfling blurted out her disrespectful reply Leo flinched just out of sight of the rest of the group, expected Varen to lash out at this. Much to his surprise, and probably the surprise of the rest of the group, Varen merely smiled a sly smile and shook his head, "Little Halfling, I know much about you, we do look into prospective recruits rather thoroughly after all. This introduction is not for my good, but for the good of your new companions. If you do not want them to know you, and therefore distrust you, that is your choice." Varen ran his left hand through his jet black hair and looked to the next member for an introduction.
((Hiatus is still on, just haven't lost internet yet, so I figured I should reply to that last post. And her reply is fully in character considering the back story she came up with, so its hard not to allow it, can't punish someone for role playing in character after all. If someone wants to pry then by all means do so. I hope to see friendships and friendly rivalries sprout during the course of this game, and good role playing is always appreciated and rewarded.))

Very much so, its part of the character. I know, I personally helped create the little insolent Halfling.

Topic: Hiatus
Subject: same here
I just have to hope I can get back online sooner rather than later. It's not like I have a table-top group, so this is all I have for non-video game gaming. And let's face it, as fun as video games are sometimes you just want to be more involved and more creative than the game will let you.
And apparently this is what happens when I roll a 1 on an Intel check with ol' Thorn...
Deep in the dark recesses of the cursed swamp, he came upon a shadar-kai camp. They had not noticed him, but there were far too many of them to fight all at once.
Thorn made an Intelligence check with a difficulty of 18 . . . and rolled 5
He charged in anyway, and nearly got himself killed! Eventually forced to flee, at least he dispatched one of them. Hopefully his injuries will heal soon.

Subject: trying to look on the bright side
I guess now I have a lot more time to plan for my game...
and of course to find a job so I can get the internet back up and running...
I leave you all with this piece of humor I snatched from the DnD Tiny Adventure App on Facebook...
Thorn heard some rustling behind him. An angry looking bear came into view. Thorn sighed with relief -- at least it wasn't a dreaded gnome. Thorn pulled his dagger and prepared to fight.
---------Thorn made an Attack Bonus check with a difficulty of 19...and rolled 20
--Thorn slew the bear. Shortly thereafter, several starving cubs came around the corner crying for their mother. Awkward . . .
Thorn heard some rustling from behind him. When he turned, he saw an angry looking gnome. Sighing with relief that it wasn't something dangerous like a hungry bear, Thorn pulled out his Rusty Dagger and prepared for a fight.
--------Thorn made a Wisdom check with a difficulty of 15...and rolled 4
--The gnome's fingers danced through the air, and a strong urge to take a nap overtook Thorn. There wasn't really any loot or experience to be gained from a nap, but it sure felt good.
Thorn is a Halfling rogue, not that it matters too terribly much, and as it were not all that wise as evidenced by the wisdom check from his encounter with the dreaded Gnome.

I'm going to be without internet for a while, and as such will not be around to grace these padded walls with my wit and company for some while. I am not sure when I'll be able to get on, nor am I 100% sure on when the internet will be getting disconnected. I will miss this place greatly, it is like my wonderfully nutty home away from home...
