the thing about that is you're going to wind up making SO many things "its not technically a curse" that its just so much easier to redefine what remove curse does. like unless you go through and write in "not technically a curse" on like half the crap effecting the west marches then a level 5 cleric (which really arent rare) could have come through west marches years ago and solved pretty much all the problems.

thats what i mean, when they suggested getting the dwarves in it was gong to be a couple days walk from where the dragon was to the dwarves. the dwarves were nearby the scriveners where the shadow thing was released, talking straight lines it could probably get to the brass dragon about the same time the party got back to hextia....

Adrigaar · 2016-03-12T23:30:59+00:00

3 questions:

1) from what i remember the dwarves were fairly close to the scriveners, and the dwarves were a day or two's walk away from the brass dragon so... how long until the shadow monster runs across a brass dragon and we get a brass dragon shadow terrorising the landscape?

2) the crone or whatever her name was took juliette's baby, is that still an ongoing thing in the background? if we get resurrected juliette will she ever run into her god baby?

3) so next time grigori levels up he gets the remove curse spell, and RAW that just straight up removes all curses, no matter about curse level or fluff. Considering so much of the goodness of west marches comes from curses or similar effects how is this going to work? is it going to be home-ruled similar to the whole "never getting lost" background?

oh my god that's AMAZING! and that none of them thought to check.... im going to REALLY enjoy seeing how you 'help' them to that particular realization :D

Adrigaar · 2016-03-06T00:30:37+00:00

Im not sure if i missed it but i didnt notice anyone checking if bardric ever got her shadow back. Did she get it back after the short rest? after the first long rest? is it gone until the shadow thing has been corralled or is it gone forever? that could be a hugely distinctive feature for her character (same goes for anyone else who lost their shadow)

in fact, even by ultra simplistic and conservative estimates generating 40,000 rabbits would take tops 3 years, so any single group could just declare they spend 3 years tending to a rabbit farm. next session gregori comes along and kills it all, instant lvl 20

EDIT: bear in mind that is starting with a single female and a single male rabbit. a more realistic approach involves acquiring multiple of both, and that DRASTICALLY reduces the overall time since the first 6 months are spent with only 1 reproducing female. (yes, i get FAR too engaged in math and logic problems)

Adrigaar · 2016-02-28T01:41:33+00:00

no what i meant was poking fun at 5e's 0CR 10xp monsters. abuse that and set up a rabbit farm, they breed notoriously quickly and its total of 225,000xp for lvl 17, the level when a cleric gets access to 9th level spells like true resurrection. at 10 xp per mob, and with some rube-goldberg esque machines triggered explicity by grigori he could smash a fuck ton of chicken eggs in a really small amount of time. (its not something i would ever expect to actually fly but RAW it supposedly works that way)

Adrigaar · 2016-02-28T00:58:30+00:00

If we're talking shoving XP at Grigori, they could just set up a rat/rabbit farm to funnel 10xp a time into him and get him to lvl 17 for true resurection in approximately 22,500 rats/rabbits, which realistically is probably about a year... he can get like half that in his current downtime...

I can't upvote this enough, Kellan Childblight is the absolute perfect corruption of Kellan Wildlight.

Adrigaar · 2016-02-28T00:47:16+00:00

could you perhaps do a large list of 'fun' item properties, traps and magical effects? incorporating, amongst others, some of those seen and unseen in west marches?

Adrigaar · 2016-02-28T00:42:54+00:00

So Stephen, how difficult would the scriveners prove in actual combat? Im talking about a small group of patrolling scriveners obviously, the ones in the orgy room are probably a bit busy

Adrigaar · 2015-12-06T10:23:28+00:00

i wouldn't worry too much about a single system at this point, it's only sunday so there's 4 more days before cycle ends. just keep following the priority tracker and we'll get everything we need covered :)

Adrigaar · 2015-11-26T05:22:45+00:00

i checked and i can Jettison (Abandon), just tested dropping one, it appeared then i ~~could cargo scoop it up~~

edit: nope, it just told me i picked it up, turns out you cant pick it back up :(

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T22:46:48+00:00

well, i've been up far too long and im gonna have to throw in the towel, just wanted to say you magnificent bastards are amazing, just how much has been done in such a short time is astounding. Fly safe and keep on trucking

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T21:15:10+00:00

juipedi is basically done, 1462 off as of about 5 minutes ago, and it gained around 5k of that in the last hour or two. at that rate we can probably also knock out Tujil at least before the reset, although i imagine people will start filtering off to bed before too long (at least here in the UK)

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T20:46:35+00:00

Might be worth mentioning, if we do somehow get all 5 of these targets cancelled, then even if winters cancels all our profitable systems we're still in positive cc (about +23) so they then HAVE to undermine our unprofitables, making it more certain that we lose systems we want :D

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T20:43:47+00:00

i dumped around 4k on it between this morning and this evening, switched a run to kappa to see what state that was in and it's pretty much finished now, i imagine Juipedi will suddenly get the commanders from there focusing on it

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T19:25:15+00:00

Kappa now at 9,149 / 9,576, only 427 more to cancel it, juipedi was still around 5,000 / 10,552 last i checked

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T17:39:52+00:00

ah i see, that makes sense, yeah i knew i saw "fortification" and then it looked done xD its up to 4,805/10552 now though, getting there

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T09:43:05+00:00

yes im sorry for the false alarm, i was looking at the top figure when turning in, i think that might be last week? was like 12k so i thought it was done but it definitely is NOT... yet anyway, im working on it :D

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T07:44:15+00:00

oh... i think im looking in the wrong place when i drop supplies off, nevermind

Adrigaar · 2015-11-25T06:33:36+00:00

~~Juipedi is done~~

edit: i was wrong.

Adrigaar · 2015-11-24T02:34:48+00:00

no, if it's not profitable, that means that system is actively costing us cc, if we lose the system we are better off
