Jerry Greystar (Chris1234)- Private Thread

[Chris1234]

Thanks!

[TristenC]

No problem

Cole got me added as an admin for the 'official forums' so I took a look at the sorting captcha. It says that the correct answer is dragging over only "the wrong edition" to the [False Editions] thing. Not sure why that isn't working for you. I can try to fiddle with the settings for your profile there, but I may need to poke around more on another day to find the right way to tweak it. sorry

[Chris1234]

That's fine, and thanks, but no rush at all.

It's improved a bit. This time just said: "You have specified an incorrect password. Please check your password and try again. If you continue to have problems please contact the Board Administrator."

I can change your password there if you like

Ok I'll PM you. Thanks

I think the nightmares are really nicely written. On the basis that Jerry's have had an element of foretelling in them, you could use that too (maybe 1 on d8 or d10).
I think the increase in learning the local language is welcome. (IMO that has become slightly tiresome.) I'd suggest going a litytle iurther and backdating the increased rate of learning (1%/day to 2%/day) for all existing PCs.

HP roll:
[1d4]=3
so IIRC 3/2 = +1.5HP, but +0.5 carried over (TY!) => +2HP, r 0
Thus, Current HP: 22/22 => 24/24

Looking at the char sheet I don't recall what the following was about, so please can you refresh me:

Before going to sleep Jerry would have cast her inate (once/day) Detect Magic to discover which, if any, of these are magical:
Shiny sling bullet , stone vial (found on Jackques' mantle)
She might actually have done so previously but the palyer doesn't remember one way or the other.
If magical, is the magical school or intensity/strength available?

Heart still poundingfrom her own night terrors Jerry lunges across the bed to grab Merrick's left arm. Wrapping both of her forearms around his she triwes to lock them off and heaves, using her body weight to lever his left hand away from his neck. "Merrick! Wake up" Merrick"! You're dreaming! Wake up!"

Jerry continues the struggle until her man surfaces from sleep.. "Merrick! Nightmare! You're with me. Safe! They're getting worse. I need you to trust me. Tell me about the nightmare you just had. I need the details, no matter how bad."..

She hugs and comforts him as he relates whatever he can allow himself to, and then summarises her own nocturnal terrors. As they resat together Jerry asks, "Do the nightmares usually get worse like this? Is it a known thing? A cycle perhaps, like the seasons. You do know what I mean by seasons, right? If so, how long to these nighmare cycles last, trough to peak? Is the recovery a similar rate? How does it work? Or if the whole thing is something stretching out over years, what do you know or have heard about its longevity? if we go with thew analogy of seasons, what's the length of the year?" Trying to reason the thing out, successful or not, calms Jerry, her breathing returns to normal and she draws small abstract pattern across Merrick's chest as she looks at him. Such a beautiful face.

When done, she washes and prays for spells while Merrick rests a little longer before rising to clean also. They sort out their respoctive spell memorisation next to each other and then jerry dresses. She finishes upstairs with an Alteration cantrip, "Hair be tidy, hair be nice, arranged just so without dirt or lice!"

"Time to go seek the others and breakfast"

That is actually part of what I meant about the Harmonian language thing, I just hadn't added it yet]

HP updated

Pyros gave Jerry his two pet mice for safekeeping, along with their bag of snacks. It's mostly just for flavor

Boiling down the coinage:

plus 173gp, 2sp, 1cp (cavern treasure)

The cut of the cavern treasure already has her spellbook payment deducted ( i did it the day we had the discussion via pm) so it would be
173gp, 2sp, 1cp - 75gp => 98gp 2sp, 1cp. I'll update now

Spells updated.

They both detect as magical
The sling bullet detects as Enchantment weakly and Alteration (which is what magical weapons give off, so prob +1)
The stone vial detects at least as Alteration.
Let me get a d100 to see if she can tell anything else about it

[Chris1234]

The way it was written I'd thought it was 11 PP, 41 gp, 5 EP, 17 SP, 27 CP (what she had before her cut of the cavern treasure)
plus the cavern treasure (173gp, 2sp, 1cp)

[TristenC]

Oh, you're right, I overlooked the section before the cavern treasure. I'll fix that.

Nice roll! Ok, the other aspect she can see is "Elemental Fire"

[Chris1234]

Would Oil of Fiery burning show up with those results?

[TristenC]

it certainly would

[Chris1234]

Thanks.
In passing, the nightmares were here before we arrived? Ie they are not caused by Jerry's father (nor by his arrival)?
