Reckonings: The Overlook

[Le Noir Faineant]

Thank you so much for that overview! There were so many things I didn't understand that are now solved.

DS, may Anders still go over to the lifeboat to check the situation there?

[DeepShadow of FoS]

As you wish. Don't forget what I posted in reponse to your questions about Anders on the UB thread:

OOC: I had Cal arrive at the lifeboat on page 5 of this thread, toward the bottom. He can relay messages back and forth for Anders while Anders and Sariel are going through the stolen books and whatnot.

I gave them an hour and a half to get the results posted on the Overlook. If you'd like to keep searching, go ahead, but Anders is also in demand as a potential defender of the Smiling Serpent against the ghost Harrin. Perhaps he'll ask Ciera to take a turn searching through the books.

So unless Anders called him back, Cal is already at the lifeboat. OTOH, Anders is free to go look at things for himself. He's your PC, after all!

[Le Noir Faineant]

Thank you - I hadn't forgot about your answer, but wasn't sure if the message wasn't out of date already.

Now, I'll go on over to the lifeboat thread...

So where's your character sheet, Cap'n? We got 14 ranks in Ride to put down, there.

[MatthiasStormcrow]

*poof* Once character sheet (ok, well, more like two and a half) as requested. That's what we had on the old board, plus a +14 to Ride.

Isn't Toby Anders ver special friend? - Would this be a situation to kick his butt?

Sorry that I am taking so long to get this done - I am doing my best and really begin to enjoy the game, the more I learn.

[DeepShadow of FoS]

I'm not sure what's got you mixed up, but I'll address the surface questions:

1) Toby and Anders are allies, not close friends. They've just met, and may have been working together to prepare the Smiling Serpent against Harrin.

2) There's nothing here that would warrant kicking Toby's butt.

Also, Anders might want to consider the following:

* Word should have reached him via Ciera's whispers that the crew of the ship are dominated by Harrin. Wiping them out wholesale might not be the best way to handle them.

* Harrin has not actually possessed Sariel, but the dragon is under his control, and will probably attack you.
*

[Le Noir Faineant]

Well, I must have misunderstood something then... But didn't Anders and Toby have a violent confrontation some time ago?! I had counted Toby on the *evil guys* party all the time... (Thinks of MSD's boards...)

Well, then Anders will slay only those crew members that seem to immediately harm his friends and otherwise concentrate his magical fires on Harrin... Not that it wouldn't be a problem for him to kill possibly innocent people, but he won't let them injure his friends by any means.

Are you thinking of Ashkar, Rafael? Ashkar was the vampire who Anders had a big fight with a while back. Toby's just, y'know, this guy.

[DeepShadow of FoS]

Toby's just, y'know, this guy.

Specifically, this guy who has made it his life's mission to send Harrin where he belongs. Single-minded, yes. Evil, no.

Come to think of it, I may have outdone myself with Harrin. He's Nathan's least popular person in Saragoss (I take it the Keeper is running a close second?), but Shadross told Arbund, "when the time comes, Harrin's mine," and it looks like he's pretty high on Cortez's to-do list...could it be this one measly little NPC has captivated the collective wrath of our heroes?

Well, three PC's and two NPC's, at any rate. I better see to it that Harrin's killed off soon, so the big boys can come out and play.

Yes, the Keeper is second. Rather a distant second at present, as it's been a few months, real time, since he last cheesed me off.

Bring out the big boys, DeepShadow! Body count! Body count!

Er...just let me turn off Borrowed Time first.

[DeepShadow of FoS]

If you say so. Just let me finish this cut scene....

Oh, well. that's right - I messed up this.

I hope I am not behaving to nerdy here - I mean, playing a psion for the first time and then entering a long running campaign in full action is proving more difficult than I expected...

Though I am not going to give up unless you tell me to. Now, let's go and kick little Harrin's ectoplasma butt!

Whatever you say...big boy!

So I can see this going generally one of three ways, wrt Peregrine's falling asleep:

A) The sword has been staving off Peregrine's need to sleep since he's had it. Ergo, Peregrine should immediately start making massive saves to avoid falling asleep to catch up.

B) The sword has been replacing Peregrine's need for sleep as needed. Ergo, Peregrine will begin feeling sleepy at the normal time, and if he resists sleep he has to make in creasing saves at the normal times.

C) The sword keeps Peregrine's sleep-wake cycle set at "0." Ergo, Peregrine now has a full 16 hours of wakefulness before he starts to feel sleepy, and thereafter make increasing saves for resisting as needed.
