Posted. Nobody else was doing much with the bandits on the tower, so I stopped the fight.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

you know, i've been thinking with all the flour being thrown around there maybe is an alchemist around somewhere.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

It would seem reasonable that there was one or more alchemists around, yes. So far, any alchemist has stayed in the background, as has the blacksmith(s) who has made all the swords & armor we've encountered. Or the farmers who grew all the food to feed the barony. There are a lot of implied people we haven't encountered.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

their's no implication the alchemist is directly involved, however. ie knows about the situation.

i got a new job, and due to that, well, you can expect a post when i post. i guess it's my turn for an absence. hopefully, i'll adjust soon and it'll be a short absence.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

Good luck with the new job.

True, no posting about direct involvement, just major purchases of damping dust and some combat potions.

Oh, and I think it is Krsqk's turn.

thanks.

I think we can reasonably assume he is a *very* wealthy alchemist. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

not nessasarily, just powerfull. a powerfull alchemist could automate the process, just provide the nessesary alchemical 'juice' and use cheaper ingrediants for the same result. although arming how many bandits are we up to? with so much flour does, now that i think about it, indicate a project.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">... unless he was slaving away under mind control. Lots of that going around recently.

oh, from selling the stuff. wealtheir, at least. depends how much he makes from elixer's of extra life and the like. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

and some alchemists may have a whole setup, with multiple apprentice's churning away, making easy potions to sell by the dozens. or at least the half-dozens.

...

sorry, couldn't resist.
<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">Characters in the FF series also have a habit of doing that after combat - and during combat - and at random plot points - just about any time they feel like it, really.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">sounds like DBZ, but people say FF is good...

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

<font size="2" face="sans-serif, arial, verdana">I'm exaggerating considerably; conversation only happens at prepared locations (otherwise, the program wouldn't have a script to follow) and mostly only during plot points. Conversation in the middle of combat is pretty rare, and is usually a simple matter of discussion of the interface very early on, a tutorial, essentially. Occasionally there is some conversation that has no impact on the plot, but mostly conversation is wherever they feel like it because the games in the FF series are long games - VII was a three CD set while VIII was a four CD set, as was IX. There is a lot of plot to go through, and it is scattered around the game globe.

Also, there is much more conversation in DBZ than there is in the FF series, and it helps that you are controlling the characters (for the most part) in the FF series, rather than just watching stuff happen on a TV screen.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

well, that's good.

since one person so far has expressed interest in an occasional character appearance...do we need any ground rules for OCA's? the RP is, i think, very free form and with, so far, only one person who might drop in, plus the general level of maturity on these forums, i don't think we need to worry about random poster's spoiling it. that is, if we get any. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon10.gif

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

I think the main issue with more posters is just one of identifying those who will only post occasionally rather than in a turn sequence so we don't wait on their turn for a month. Other than that little tidbit that people might not think of, the general level of politeness on these forums should take care of things.

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

yes, and it sounds like we need to make it more interesting. we just defeated a couple hundred bandits. admittadly, the gaurds and the manor walls helped, but...

Re: this is a thread to attract SE4 forumers to the first Dungeon Oddessy roleplay thread
 

so, three questions face us.

do we continue, in the face of an audience smaller than the probable one for the theatrical realease of 'twenty minutes of a wall'?

if we do continue, how do we make it more interesting? my suggestion: make shield spells take more of a hit from arrows or give arrows a chance to penatrate. either one would have made the Last fight more difficult. cheap light spells would also have helped.

whaddya looking at me for? i can never remember number three.

bear with us, our minute audience. we're RP newbie's. and we're creating an entire new world. there's bound to be some problems.

oh, yes. i posted. a bit out of practice.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay! I have a keyboard! Of course, it's taking a bit to get used to, since it's not a "clicker" and the backslash key is now in half of the space of the old backspace key, instead of the outer third of the right shift key. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/icons/icon7.gif Boy, it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas--at least as much as it can in wretched Orlando. *wishes on twelve falling stars for some real cold weather--not this "lows in the 50's" stuff*
