Play-by-Post D&D: The Lounge

[Viking]

Og like to sing along with funny bald man with pointy helmet!

Sqwish the gobwins, sqwish the gobwins, sqwish the gobwins, sqwish the gobwins....

[Glitch Girl]

ah yes, can't beat the classics.  [sigh]

[Panther_Gunn]

Og:  "Og get him speaw & magic hew-met!"

[Uncle Yuan]

Speaw and magic hew-met?

[Glitch Girl]

Spear & magic helmet!
Magic helmet?
Magic helmet!
Magic helmet
Yes, magic helmet and I'll give you a sample!

[BlueBard]

Just couldn't resist the old Snoring Half-Ogre Trick, could you?  ;)

[Glitch Girl]

Well, I wasn't going to, until Panther_Gunn mentioned it.  :D

Besides, I get to deal with my own snoring chorus next week - My friends and I all share a room at Dragon*Con (two rooms this year) and we've got some mighty nostrils to deal with.

There's a reason I always travel with earplugs.  ;)

[Viking]

So... did anybody prepare the Silence spell?  Or Deafness?  I'd volunteer for Deafness... I'd be flat-footed and everything!

[Panther_Gunn]

ah-ha!  Looks like I'm not the *only* one cutting & pasting from the first thread.  I'd recognize those random snore noises I typed out last time anywhere!  :lol:

[Glitch Girl]

Yup, took them off of page 1.  Never let it be said I don't at least try for continuity.  :D

[Uncle Yuan]

Well, at least that was a few hours of sleep. . .

Taking my life firmly in both hands I get up, cross over to Og and poke him gently (hard enough to break a window) and say softly (taking over a full bar crowd voice), "Hey Og, roll over.  C'mon, over."

Well, it works with my wife.  Sorta.

[Glitch Girl]

Yuan, ther are SO many evil things I could do here  :twisted:

BUT  I'm going to let PG figure out how Og would react to that stimulus. 

[Uncle Yuan]

Yeah, I'm really hoping to make my dex roll to avoid being swept up and snuggled like a teddy bear when he rolls over . . .  :unsure:

[BentonGrey]

Haha, that made me chuckle. ^_^

[Viking]

Hmm.... I wonder if using the bardic "Countersong" ability would apply to Og's snoring...

[Uncle Yuan]

Use it to counter Og's "Wake the Dead" spell?

[Panther_Gunn]

Be glad Og isn't a Red Level Troubleshooter.  He might have reacted quite differently. :twisted:

And, Og *tried* to warn someone.  But *someone* thought it was best everybody get used to it sooner rather than later.  Notice he was the first one to bail.  It's all his fault....that damn, pointy-eared, green-blooded.....vulcan!

oops, sorry.  Not only am I channeling the wrong game, I'm channeling the character that Yuan should be!   :lol:

[Glitch Girl]

Hee hee hee, you guys are nuts.

BTW: if it feels like I'm stalling a bit, it's because I am.  I leave for DragonCon thursday which means a whole lotta prep work this week and no internet until Tuesday.  The game will be paused thursday if not before, but as soon as I get back, you guys can continue your quest.  I didn't want to leave at an inopportune moment in the plot (like the middle of a fight scene or something). 

Unlike the other D&D game, I thoroughly intend to come back and GM.  ;)

[Panther_Gunn]

No problem, GG.  I'll be out of contact from Thursday afternoon until late Monday, anyway.  Camping, & all that.

BTW... The knot I use is a quick-release knot.  One jerk and I will be free.

*yank!*  THUD!  "Fly, be free!  You're free!  Yay!"

[BlueBard]

Yeah, like a 120 pound elf is going to tell the 400 pound half-ogre to go sleep outside in the rain.  Momma raised this one to use what's between his pointy ears.

[Glitch Girl]

PG kinda beat me to it, but anyway...

I use my rope to secure myself to the trunk of the tree just above a thick branch and perch there, leaning against the trunk, dozing lightly from time to time.  I stay there until dawn or until something wakes me.

BTW... The knot I use is a quick-release knot.  One jerk and I will be free.  It's just enough to keep me from falling out of the tree if I should start to doze off too soundly.

Thanks to a failed "Rope Use" roll, the group finds Whisper hanging awkwardly upside down from a nearby limb next morning.  Whisper is unhurt, save for a critical hit to the pride.  :twisted:

"Oh, Hello!  Why am I hanging upside down?  I was conversing with a bat last night and, well, wouldn't you know it?  He was kind of boring.  I fell asleep.  Told you rangers could sleep almost anywhere, didn't I?  By the way, this is really good to increase blood flow to the brain.  You should try it."

[Uncle Yuan]

So folks - what do we need to do to get things rolling?  Or do we just feel more comfortable waiting for GG to come back?

[Glitch Girl]

Apparenlty the answer is "wait for GG to come back"  ;)

Rise and shine folks, the GM is back. 

[Lord Elcorion]

yay! i hope your trip was good, btw. i wish i could go to dragon-con, but that's a trip i just can't afford for the moment. mabe in a year or 2.. mabe..

[Glitch Girl]

Trust me, if you ever make it you won't regret the experience.   :D

Gotta find some more storage space for the photos but they shouldbe going up soon.

[Viking]

"Wait, what?!" yelps Daniel.  He stands up quickly, wincing slightly as his hand involuntarily clutches at his bruised side. "No I'm fine, really!  I'm (ow) good!"

(*shakes head sadly*)  "Og not know why Ogre Taxi Serive not get more business.  Og offer good mileage and reasonable rates!"

[BentonGrey]

LOL, perhaps it's the smell?

[Viking]

(*sniff, sniff*)

(*shakes head*)

"No, Og's nose work fine!"

[Viking]

Ambrose kind of watches in a mute combination of disgust and curiosity at Og's adventures in cooking.

I can only guess at what Ambrose is thinking...

Does he get XP for making that concoction?  Or from eating it?
