Darkwood--OOC commentary/discussion

[Kalindriel Ec'urb]

Which one?

[PS - Take it easy, Anna. Chat us up, like the snake-in-the-grass says. I'm sure 'Trina will be happy to talk PONIS, anytime.]

[Katrina]

Anna go bye bye

Come back soon, once your stuffs is sorted out.

[Goatkiller666]

The gelatinous cube half-fiend. The one Kali likes best.

[Goatkiller666]

[Can has map? plzkthxbai?]

Do you realize how long that will take him?

[Goatkiller666]

[Pritty plz can has map kthxbai?]

X = burny lizard thing
X = 'Trina, but she's being hidey, so you can't see her.
X = Led, but he's being hidey too, so you can't see him.

Anyway, it's all darkey.

[Katrina]

Ooooo, I'm so hidey I can't even find myself!

[Goatkiller666]

And it looks like Seven got lost in all that darky, too.

[Katrina]

Come back Seven! COME BACK!

It's all darky here and there's a fire chicken and screaming buntrees.

I need an adult.

[Led Pighp]

Okay, so... this current scene (not YET a fight) is exposing some interesting tactical concerns for us as a group. Especially if the carpet is going to be a sort of flying battle platform for us, pretty much following us around the map and giving us a place to sleep / stand while lobbing artillery (nod to Sigrid) at stuff.

We all need to be able to get onto and off of the carpet safely. We need to be able to let the carpet keep flying, while we defend its retreat, and then get back to it.

So, the carpet can travel 40. That's only slightly faster than a normal person WALKS. All of the fliers in the party can fly faster than that, and if they're not in combat, they can easily catch up with us. (That also means any enemy fliers can easily catch the carpet, if we're not defending it.) Led weighs so much that the carpet can't lift him, though. So his only concern is being able to stay nearby. Led can run so very very much faster than the carpet, I'm not worried about him.

That still leaves Anna and Skyseeker. If Skyseeker has the belt of teleportation, she can get back to the carpet when she needs to. The belt has a chance of missing. And only a few uses per day, so it's not great. And unless she has featherfall, she can't necessarily get OFF the carpet.

I know that Anna has a short-range teleport spell, but if the carpet has moved away from her, it might not be good enough. She can at least use it to get from the carpet to the ground, though.

Winged boots might be enough.
Wings of flying would certainly be enough.

And we all need to be able to see in the freaking dark. Humans, half-elves, and even elves are totally blind inside the Darkwood. (That means Skyseeker and Annalysei, again.)

Goggles of Night grant Darkvision.

[Kalindriel Ec'urb]

Teleport is a bad idea. Also a painful one.

[Cryak]

Up too late, but I'm done! Waiting on final confirm...

[Goatkiller666]

Short distance teleports, not exiting the 'Wood, are probably painless. Go ahead and try, just to be sure.

[Sigrid]

When does Cryak start to play?

And when does my Annalysei come back? Mama needs cuddles.

[Cryak]

*peers between shrubberies*

[Katrina]

Ooooo, new peopleage!

Let's play a game!

I love this one! It's called "Tag".

*watches you*...

[Cryak]

Tag be the name of my sweet, sweet Little-One...but he's not so little anymore...

[Goatkiller666]

<not touching that one>

[Sorchat]

Go ahead you know you want to touch his little one.

[Cryak]

Bah! This is why I never returned to the towns. What tomfoolery...

[Katrina]

Why are you fooling with Tom? Or are you fooling Tom? What has Tom done? Is Tom Bad?
