sometimes at random i get a nice red square with all kinds of nonesense on it at the top of this page Laughing out loud , but apart from that its all good and well, i dislike this new layout, as it does not do anything better then the previous one Sad

besides, the interface is still crap, the links in my emails dont bring me to the correct post and going to a page always brings up the initial,post of the creator of the thread, not the last post in the link... that u r supposed to go to...

and last but not least, i did not get reminders from other posters(new replies) in a thread i am in...

Having a bit trouble getting the dice roller to cooperate... I click on "Dice rolls", type in the variables, and click on "Post comment", but I can't see where my dice result is displayed. Hmm...

That Neothelid is described in its monstrous description as a horribly gone wrong rare result of mindflayer reproduction-cycle....and their exsistance is a taboo topic amongst illithids to boot, i hope u are aware of that...?

Yes, but Lavendar was a real wierdo, wanting its own "baby" to raise without ceremorphosis. So wierd and non-normal that L was kicked out of of illithid society at large and bannished to Sigil.

Plus, the DM likes to pull surprizes, and hopes this was one.

FYI, Forum posts are still wonky for me, but I can hit "quote" and read a post that way.

Yes, Zim was surprised. Smiling

Lavendar is (was) a most interesting villain, too.

Props once again for the fascinating NPCs, Azure!
I'm not sure what to do about rolls in the game while the site roller is down, let me know what you prefer.

I wonder about Violet... A mature neothelid is extremely dangerous, but a dog-sized one might not be too bad. Still, Lavendar sounded pretty confident that she could rip us all apart.
Perhaps Ya'shenn should try to talk it communicate with it? She's still in disguise, knows qualith, and might not have been deemed a threat by Violet, yet...

Would a party of githyanki on rrakkma really want to have peaceful contact with that thing, though? (Additionally, attempting to communicate would likely use up her actions for the round, should it come to that.)

I was more thinking we could distract/stall/divert Violet in order to aid Daraz in a sneak attack/allow us to fall back/lure Violet somewhere else, if any of those situations should become relevant.

Of course, that's only if a more "conventional" approach to handling illithidae should turn out ineffective, but I have no idea how dangerous Violet is...

The thought i am having

The thought i am having is:
Isn't the Neothelid bad vs Illithid's normally, and therefore not perse to be killed by us? or is that far fetched, specially seeing as it was being 'raised' by Lavender?

Typical illithids regard neothelids as abominations. I think neothelids themselves are indifferent (and will happily munch on illithid brains as well as anyone else's).

I think its a little too late to ignore it: It appears to be enraged by Lavendar's death, Ya'shenn has shut down its psionics, and Du'minh has attacked it.

As soon as the dice roller

As soon as the dice roller is back up, we'll continue.  Honestly, I'm not so upset things are on pause for the time being.  I just started a new job, and my last day of training was today.  Classes start tomorrow, I'm going to be teaching English as a second language and G.E.D. ... ... ... in a NY state maximum security prison!  I'm not too worried, but if several months go by without me posting, you'll know why.

EDIT:

Whoa, looking at my tripple post, the site is still acting very buggy for me. I keep getting an "Internal Server Error" most of the time I navigate somewhere, and sometimes an "Access denied" message...

Oh, and apparently I'm noted at the bottom right of the site as being online twice and can only edit some of my posts?

I didn't know what to roll and figured Azure would have done so in secret, though now that you mention it, it doesn't seem like he did...

 

I'll just hold off on any further rolling until our DM chimes in - still feeling great about rolling 1 point from top damage on a max power attack against AC 29!  :)

Oh, for amusement value,

Oh, for amusement value, compare the description of the Body Adjustment power in the 3.0 Psionics Handbook to the 3.5 description here

A 3.0 psion will, on average, heal 10.5 HP of damage in one round using the power (3d6).

A 3.5 psion/psychic warrior can heal a theoretically infinite amount of HP damage in one round, given enough power points.

Warrior's discipline would be a poor virtue if you were unable to tell friend from foe in the heat of battle. Sticking out tongue

My utmost gratitude for the healing. Du’minh is wearing a spiked splint mail; narrow vertical strips of metal fastened to leather on top of cloth padding, with joints covered by chainmail. He doesn’t wear a helmet, though considering how we constantly face the threat of brain extraction perhaps he ought to…
