OOC Chat and Planning

Is that AI?

Looks like it

Yes.
Is anyone here opposed to that? I should really have checked that first, sorry.

No, I love me some AI

I use it for npc images all the time. I just ask that posts not use chat gpt

Yea I am not sure I understand someone who uses chatgpt to play the game for them lol

That's for people that want to to play a role playing game, but don't want to roleplay 😄

Yes, I would not use it to write posts. That would definitely take the fun out of it.

Some people feel the same way about the image generation, and I can completely respect that. Maybe I would feel the same way if I had any kind of artistic skill. Who knows? I just really appreciate the ability to quickly visualize something like the Craballista.

Oh, and I also don't mind using it for something like this:

I think my favourite is now: Tactical Artificial Lifelike Observant Nemesis or Tactical Artificial Lioness for Observation and Neutralization

Kind of reminds me of a line from Marvel with SHIELD always having a crazy name (which I didn't realize until now has changed over the years) - "Sounds like someone really wanted to spell TALON"

That's part of the charm with that kind of acronym. To me, at least.

Fun With Acronyms

My lack of Eberron setting knowledge. I googled siberys crystal and it said these were the rarest kind. Since Tryne is an artificer, I'm assuming he is well familiar with the different kinds of crystals and potentially has handled some of the common ones.

How common are these crystals and considering Tryne's background in the slums, is it possible he has never seen one in person, or at least maybe only small shards.

Because of the way they’re described, their rarity is similar to diamonds. But just like any gem stone, size and quality matter. They are very sought after, especially in a town filled unscrupulous people that are looking for any item of value ;)

The average person would only know a little of their true power. Using them takes an expert. Artificers and Dragonmarked would likely covet them.

Siberys Crystals - Rarest. Gold in colour. Enhances dragonmarked abilities

Khyber Crystals - Blue in colour. Mostly used in elemental binding

Eberron Crystals - Most common. Pink in colour. Mostly used for spell casting.

I feel this would be common knowledge among those in Eberron. Knowledge on how to use them would need research.

Was bored at work :)

Here’s the layout of the hall


And the basement.


I updated the orientation to show their true relation to each other. The catacombs are to the south of the hall with the entrance in the back room with the door. The first chamber would be directly beneath the altar.

amazing work!

would the basement be a good place for the artificers to set up shop? Or would their projects be too big?

So...are we saying Torhak can't wield the staff as a two handed weapon? lol

Edit: Also amazing mapz!

I agree, the maps look fantastic!

I would think the basement would be a bad choice for a workshop, only because it really limits the size of what we can take in and out. Maybe I'm mistaken, but I got the impression the stairway down was pretty normal person size... which honestly should be fine for most projects but would certainly put a limit on what we could do.

I feel like the left or right side of the main hall would be best due to the double doors.

The staircase is normal human sized. Medium sized objects would be no issue. Large or greater would not fit.

So, pretty much what I though. Yeah, main floor seems best if we're going to set up a dedicated shop.
