J, I leveled Kray to 4 in Fighter and took the Ability Score Improvement, raising DEX +2. Mentioning it because his Initiative is now +5 toward the group average.

Also, Ox, how'd you get Bryn's Initiative to +11, besides taking Alert? DEX would be +4, Alert would be +5. Did I miss something and we're adding Proficiency to Initiative checks? Or does Bryn have some other cool feat or something to bring it up?

Like how M's druid spells are explained through his simplicity. The man doesn't even know he's using nature power.
Nobody else does either, except maybe Rutcranna. And I love it! I think it will be quite fun to play it out. I'm pretty sure we'll miss out on some optimal tactics as a result since he can't plan to use his powers and relies on crits to really put the damage on. But if the group works together to keep Maeriks swinging with advantage, then I think we'll be alright.

Getting a second level of druid should be pretty interesting too. That might be in a while tho as I think I might take another fighter and/or maaaaaaaybe one level dip in barbarian first.

Bryn has something cool, ON GUARD! I actually forgot to update it, his initiative is +12

Yea Cb, barbarian Druids are pretty cool. Raging while wild shaped is pretty potent.

Dang! Thought that Initiative had to go down.
Oh, ok....let me check it again...um...oh! You're right! So sorry, that does have to change.... UP!!!

Y'all look around the scene and see swash everywhere. Bryn swings in on a rope and buckles all of that shit up tight. He seems really good at that.

BTW. Remember how hot Rutcranna was with perfect tits and all? Maeriks is totally not, man tits and all. And that loin cloth - I'm pretty sure J just couldn't stand to have some guy running around with his junk all over his story.
Yeah, and Maeriks' FAT ASS!
Nah, bro. I'm just kidding. Was just trying to RP Tcho-Tchos, who didn't want Maeriks to feel self-conscious because of their superior junk size.

The team is looking pretty solid, y'all. Some key L4 ASI's that will boost damage and key checks. New dash of diversity with the new PCs. And can't forget a F5 on the scene laying down our first example of Double Time Attack pace.

No pics forthcoming for Rutcranna. I don't want to download any porn in my DropBox account.

Don't forget to bump your stats with your new +3 proficiency!

CB, Maeriks is funny as hell. He thought the instructions were just to hold your breath like normal and then heave your chest up and down. He said, "It's not helping." Hilarious.

Just pushed Ep 1 boards ahead to sub surface launch.
We'll stage it up there to keep pressing forward. If there are any last minute retroactive finishes of conversations, any prep work, any comments about tasks we can definitely revisit through tonight and in the morning.

This is a hasty plan, not much time, lots of moving parts, lots of unknowns, lots of people on separate task and PCs aren't in control of all aspects -- so probably won't get all of the preview of exactly what is expected with perfect accuracy. Also, much of this is definitely make-it-up-as-you-go once you get inside. No doubt a healthy dose of winging it.
But on the other extreme, I don't want to have anyone left unfairly in the dark on things that might need to be clarified.

You guys definitely feel free to talk it out among yourselves here on Admin too, to pre-game or run scenarios, whatever. Although I should be able to read pretty easily, I may not have much option to type and respond until later in the day on Wednesday.

Depending on everyone's posts now until then, let's see if we get into live fire action either tomorrow afternoon/evening, or maybe Thursday morning at what I think would be the latest.

Good luck LUBA Team.

J

Hey, to follow up...
If possible, I would like to see if our whole roster might be able to weigh in on the boards either tonight or tomorrow, just to make sure that we are all here.
There has been some downtime on the story, plus I know some real life pressures for all of us have been heavy of late - so it's no problem that posting has been up and down. I've definitely been distant myself intermittently.

As we head into the next scenes though, there are going to be dice probably daily --checks, attacks to and fro I'm sure, saves maybe, and lots of fast decisions to be made.
Aiming to start either Wednesday night or Thursday, pause briefly for the weekend, and then be ready to full throttle it next week Mon-Thurs.
Just want a quick check to see if you guys agree and are game for Game On!
Jun 20, 2017 9:08 pm
Fuck yea - Let's get started.

Bryn also would want to try out the javelin and take 3-4 with him to fend off any one while in Luba gear.

I can't wait to get Ox killed again!

I laughed pretty hard at that. My character is never trying to save your character AGAIN! You hear me?! Never!!

I'm going to do up a "spoiler" character sheet post with the template Ez made up a while back so people can see what Bryn is capable of instead of being secretive.
[ +- ] Bryn Rynalt Drop Down Character Sheet
Bryn is a swashbuckler-He will be very effective at Melee combat, but will also be effective at range. J told me that babies would be punched if I tried to wear a frilly shirt, hence the more ruffian title of "rake" held by thieves and thugs.

I don't know... Gardening is the sort of thing that people in frilly shirts tend to do.

One thing I have started doing with the drop down character sheet, is I added a link to the original post edit page. This lets me quickly click back to the original post, edit, copy, save, and then paste on the new post. Pretty handy I think. I used a nifty pencil icon to keep the real estate to a minimum. You'll notice it next to Maeriks' full name in the dropdown.
