Funny, I did write about a post in response to your first inquiry about the white lady. Wonder what happened to it?
Yes, everyone has seen it/her. There are places on the ship where she frequents a lot and those are the the places where the coolant system has venting - so you decide if she is real or not.

Subject: can't say i have
I don't travel pass the 49th parallel too often. But the concept of people charging as a DM just completely blew me away. Of course with tablets and skype and webex I think that virtual games would be very doable today.
I hope that you have steady DM now.

Brittany really took the idea I had with Floyd and ran with the fedora. I love how beaten up it is and how it can be a means of expression.

Destiny Bridge, Day One of Journey, 11:30 - 2am ST
The news of the key and all it implies weighs heavily on the minds of the crew but you are out in the black and little you can do about it now. Turning back really isn't an option with a big payout on the line. so the dinner and dessert is eaten and everyone goes about their business for the evening. As his normal routine, the Captain takes first watch on the bridge so Tess can get some shut eye. Not that the captain is much of a pilot but this far out the auto can handles the flight and mostly all he does is watch the lights flicker on the monitor. Destiny is a good ship, faster than almost anything one there, except some short range interceptors and the alliance big guns.
As the night moves on, the Captain suddenly realizes he is not alone as a mist swirls to his left and he sees the lady in white that haunts to ship appear. She is looking toward the front, towards the stars and the black. She seems a little sad to Jon's eye, as if waiting for bad news. The mist swirls a bit and she fades away again as she always does. It is only after a few moments that Jon remembers that she has never appeared on the bridge before, normally only where the coolant vents are throughout the ship.
Destiny Cargo Bay, Day Two of Journey 9:00am ST
In the morning, Grace is up and wheeling the Doctor's x-ray equipment over to the wine barrels. She moves with the intensity of purpose that brokers no objection and anyone in the cargo bay soon moves out of the engineer's way as she is setting up.
After several shots at different angles, Grace has a 3d image of the casks in hand. She looks at them confused at first as they show the interior of the casks have a hourglass shaped chamber that holds the wine with the cask. The hollow area is around the centre of the cask and appears to be filled with wines, roots and dirt. But as she expands the image is finds packets hidden within the these vines. The packets are filled with many hard objects with a crystal like structure. Diamonds!
(Assuming Grace will tell crew at this point. Post from this point as the action below will happen no matter what)
Destiny Bridge, Day Two of Journey 1:00pm ST
Tess checks the navigation computer as lights on her console tell her they are entering the main shipping corridor. Alliance satellites and signal buoys ping off the pulse beacon of Destiny indicating that big brother is always watching.
About an hour into the corridor and the wave transmitter lights up. A live wave coming in - for the captain. Tess automatically checks the source, and it is a Courier ship, Arrowhead class, registered to the Lim Wine Corporation.

Topic: Weird War II
Subject: Going down. Hardware, Giftware and Ladies' lingerie
Downstairs near the dungeons
Feeling the guard's grip relaxed he didn’t hesitate as he knew his life hung in the balance; he jumped up ignoring the sore muscles that screamed at him, and yanking his arms free of the two behind him he moved towards the German in front of him. He is free for a moment, but the guards react quickly, grabbing him by his shoulders to drive him back to the chair.
However, fate is not without a sense of irony and both guards grips slide due to the cooking oil on Max's body. The harder they squeeze , the faster he pops out of their grip. He moves towards the older German to grab him by the shoulder and barrel him toward the guards but the Kraut moves fast for an old guy and slashes Max across the back with the jumper cables. However when he moves to slash at Max, he pulled one of the connections off the battery so Max was lucky to be moving.
Thinking quickly, Max rolled and did a fast foot sweep to bring his opponent down as he was drawing his gun. The luger was jarred out of his hand and skittered across the floor. The other two came in with lugers out and anger in their eyes. It was time for a risk or else Max would be captured. He charged towards and dove under the commander as he was getting up. The guards in their eagerness open fire without thinking of the consequences and gun down their own man. As the two recoil from what they did, Max leaps on them to bring them both down. There is a scuffle of hands, feet and knives drawn. Max strikes out blindly and with deadly intent. He breaks one of their noses, and manages to get his hand on the commander's gun. After a few seconds and few explosive rounds fired way too close for comfort, Max emerges from the melee alive. He breaths heavily for a minute or two and then forces himself to get moving.
The dead leave him with three lugers, five magazines full and one with 6 rounds spent. Three trench knives, a car battery and a pair of jumper cables. Not to mention a desperate need for a towel. The wound on his shoulder is painfully but not bleeding as bad as he expected.
Upstair moving down
Brutal takes the lead and head towards the circular stairs. As he does he brings up the shotgun and blows apart the suit of armour standing by the hallway. "It would've come alive or something anyways." He says to no one in particular.
As the team moves down the circular stairs the sound of the room collapsing echoes behind them and then there is an almost eerie silence. There is nowhere to proceed now except downwards and hope that Mrs. Hoffstetter is correct about the hidden exit. The captain finds some torches still in the scones of the stairways as you down. There are old, but would probably work, however you do have the light from the flashlights you found as well. The roundness of the stairs makes it hard to cover against anything that might be moving towards you. The Sarge and Brutal take alternating sides to get down the stairs. just as you are passing a doorway to the next level, you hear the sound of small arms being fired. The sounds are muffled, but nearby.
OOC: Marching order as I picture it is Brutal, Romo, Reid, Hoffstetter, McGuiness and Luke.
Max has taken 3 Wounds & 3 Stun. The 3 stun he can walk off after a bit of a rest. The 3 wounds will need attention eventually.

Topic: Audalis Dreaming QnA
Subject: mages and Armour
Mages do not wear armour of any sort. That is the downside of mages. Weapons are real restricted too (staff, dagger).
Now I use a mana based system for spells. You have so many mana points and you cast spells via those points. A first level spell costs one point. Second level 2 points. You get the idea.
Now Wan will start the adventure with 4 mana plus his bonus for INT which is 3 so 7 mana. That means he can cast 7 1st level spells a day. You do not need to memorize, you are assumed to be able to cast any spell in your book. So go ahead and cast 7 magic missiles if you want.
If you run out of mana (and it does happen) you can still cast spells - at the cost of your hit points. Same amount 1 for 1, 2 for 2 etc. However you can't heal that damage. You have to rest for 8 hour per hit point lost to get them back. Don't go to zero - it is a bad scene.

Subject: Really?
Sorry Tann but I wasn't thinking of you when i developed Floyd. His physical appearance is based on a friend of mine who played Galirian and was the model for the image that you use as an avatar Tann.
Floyd's name is an homage to one of my favourite authors - Brian Daley. He wrote The Adventures of Alacrity Fitzhugh and Hobart Floyt.

Do we need a character list thread? That is a place where all the characters are listed with stats and equipment. I don't usually do them for D&D games but if people want me to, I will.

Subject: Meet Floyd Hobart
As you will see by the menu at the side, I have added a new comic to the inn - The adventures of Floyd Hobart - Professional DM.
The inspiration to this one comes from an article i read where people who wanted to play D&D were having such a hard time finding a DM, that some guys were charging an hourly rate for their dungeon mastering time (apparently around the US Midwest? I dunno). Anyway, it got me thinking and I created the idea of Floyd.
Brittany really helped me flesh out the characters in this webcomic and it wouldnt be here without here. Thanks Jing!
So starting next week will be the first episode. Hope you enjoy.

Subject: okay now
Hammer - Khord Cleric
Tann Talas - Sylvari Fighter/Thief
*Tiamat - Kelden Mage
*RPN - Sylvari Ranger
*Dark Lady - Human warrior
So we have a five person team now which works well. If someone comes along with another character that will add to the mix great (another mage perhaps), but you can work with the five as well.
Some of you(*), I am helping out so give me a bit of time to get everything done and ready. I project that we can start before end of month, most likely 19th-20 as opening posts.

Topic: Audalis Dreaming QnA
Subject: some notes
Players that have played with me before will know that I use a percentage base for healing. In low level campaigns I set a minimum points of healing so that you aren't left dying and getting only 2 points of healing per spell. For this adventure, the minumum for a cure light is 8 points.
Posting actions should be devoid of other players unless you have spoken/pm/emailed or in someway communicated with them. Even the smallest of actions (John steps out of my way as I barrel through the door) should be considered, especially if said person has posted already.
I don't consider order of posting to be order of action, or else the first person to post will be at a disadvantage. Post what you want to do, and how you would do it, and I will post what actually happened. It won't always be the same. If the party wants to split up and everyone posts they are going left, I will will set people off to the right (usually after a round of pm's).
When you are wounded, I will not post the number of hit points lost. I use the following:
Minor Wounds - less than 10% of HP loss
Light Wounds - Between 11 to 25% of HP loss
Serious Wounds - Between 26 to 50% of HP loss
Critical Wounds - Between 51 to 75% of HP loss
Grave Wounds - more than 76% loss
