Implemented Ideas / Spears
« on: December 21, 2005, 04:56:00 am »
Would it be possible to have higher quality wooden spears added as an item ? ( spears made out of oak , mahogony, yew)

The only spear currently available, as a wood product, is hickory.  To  get a higher quality one, you must then go to metal.
 
 Also: Would\\could a wooden spear be a weapon option  made permissable for a druid ?

Wild Surge Inn / Tower of Strands
« on: December 19, 2005, 06:02:00 am »
*a carefully scribed notice is placed on the board of the Wild surge Inn and the temples of Ilsare and Lucinda .*

To all those who have ventured with me to the “Tower of Strands”:

Much has been been learned, yet much needs to be discussed.  Perhaps we can gather as a group to compare notes and chart a course of action.

Also, now that we know a bit more: Are there clues in the Great Library, or at one of the temples ?

If this be of interest, please scribe your mark here.

- Jharl -

// I am thinking of a get together to discuss this quest IC. Also, perhaps a library search if it could be arranged. I am available 12-4 GMT  (7-11 PM EST..GMT +5)
Please post replies here.

General Discussion / Loot
« on: October 23, 2005, 05:49:00 am »
A question:

Character A is in a fight and kills several monsters or whatever.. bodies are scattered with gold on the ground.
Character B witnesses the fight,(in character he is not so nice rogue or whatever).. and starts looting the bodies.. he's a sleazy guy so this is great RP..

Is this considered stealing ? I know Character A maybe none too happy but ?

Just for Fun / Deaths : both spectacular and dumb
« on: October 19, 2005, 06:53:00 am »
My most spectacular date with the void to date was brought about at the hands of a very angry Yeti. My character was ripped to shreds in an amazingly short time. But he stood and fought and perished..

My dumbest (near)death happened when the tinker machine in the craft house malfunctioned and knocked my wounded character to like 1 HP..
One can never be too careful anywhere !

General Discussion / Jet CDQ Part 2
« on: October 16, 2005, 09:46:00 am »
Had a great time on the second installment of this CDQ. Lots of twists, turns and just a lot a fun.
Only downside was that I picked up a Death Token, but a small price to pay for learning a lot.

 Kudos to Dezza.

Fixed Bugs / Iron Chainmail
« on: October 10, 2005, 05:22:00 am »
My character recently began to wear Iron Chainmail. He is able to rest while wearing this armor. I switched back to my old set of copper chain and could not rest in it, so I think Iron Chain may be bugged...

General Discussion / OXen hassled
« on: October 05, 2005, 02:40:00 pm »
My character Jharl was just outside the crafthouse in Hlint and had taken the pack off his ox to get some goods. There were also 2 other oxen in close proximity. All of a sudden for a period of a good 2 or 3 minutes the oxen were scared off and running and  crashing into one another  .There was apparently nobody nearby or about ..Could this had been someone invisible ?
When I got done with my pack, I had to walk a considerable distance to find my ox again to reload the pack.
There was no harm done, but this was an extreme annoyance.

Development Journals and Discussion / Tome of the Scarlet Hawk
« on: September 12, 2005, 06:11:00 am »
Tome of the Scarlet Hawk - The Journal of Jharl

* A worn and battered leather bound journal.  All the writing has been penned in a neat and careful script. It seems that the writer is either very new to this skill or being very meticulous ..or both*

I have arrived and entered this settlement called Hlint. It is a confusing place with all manner of people about. Such large crowds..and these buildings.. it is all so complicated, but with all these strange folk about there may be much lore to discover here.
I set up camp in some woods north of town, near a great stone tower. The first night I was set upon by an orc warparty.. they exist no more. The Orcs are numerous here as well so I have moved my camp to a more remote location.
I heard of a bounty offered  by the Quartermaster to go skin some goblins that harrass the town . The quartermaster seemed bored by the whole thing..it has been going on for so long it seem...the orcs and goblins are a common sight right up to the gates of town.
The town also has a crypt where they consign the bones of their fallen. Apparrently the dead inside are restless and sometimes become a problem.
I have met many warriors and such of all type but have not befriended any as yet. Some have looked at my hide armor and mumbled something about .."only a bar..bare ee en".. they did not say it with the honor a warrior deserves.

*another entry several days later*

My journey has become a little eaiser now that I remember my voice. Now more often than not, I quietly sing to myself when working, be it chopping wood or just traveling.
The old song of the hunt, and the work song.. They truly make my pack seem lighter and help my spirits.
I have begun to chop wood so that I might be able to craft a fine bow.

*another entry*

I have today met another 'bar bare ee en".. but not from any tribe that is in our lore. Her name is Sy'Ravenne . She has made a long journey to Hlint from across the sea, a place called, I think Dreager. She was summoned from her people to Hlint by a dragon.. I did not tell her I had the same vision. She has been here for many moon cycles.
I had a long talk with this warrior clad in strange rainment. She wields a fine curved sword that the locals call a scimitar. She spoke of  learning yet another strange blade called a katana. Her eyes were on fire as she spoke of being able to wield such a weapon ..could it be that powerful ?
 Later when another came to greet Sy'Ravenne, I began to quietly sing our tribal song of greeting. Sy'Ravenne asked if I were a bard ..I said no, I was a warrior, but one that had a fair voice that I hoped to use to inspire in war and toil. She thought that this was very noble I think, and said I should seek out one called Geir. He has great skill in this.
Sy'Ravenne then enlisted me into a war party . We entered a cavern near to Hlint that has become the home of goblins. There are far fewer of that vermin in there now. It was good to be back on the hunt again, although my new companions fight in strange ways with strange weapons.
One of the members of our war party had black skin and white hair and wielded a great longbow. yes ..it was a drow ..the lore is correct: they do exist and they are more than a tribal legend now. This drow walked openly in Hlint and told me she was friendly..as the Scarlet Hawks always do, I told her that I held no prejudice but would make my personal judgment on her actions. She fought as hard as the rest of the party and this drow, as far as Jharl is concerned is steadfast.

NWN Ideas, Suggestions, Requests / Weaponmaster thought
« on: August 18, 2005, 07:08:00 am »
To me, being a weaponmaster, means that that you have concentrated on one type of weapons' training to the exclusion of others, and to me at least, at another personal character(Role playing)level, its not just any weapon of the class, it is his or her personal weapon of that class that is usually wielded..
Analogous to say a tennis star who will be great with any racket, but, in fact always uses 'their' personal favorite racket.
With this in mind, would it be possile for a weaponmaster to be able to have the privilege to 'name' their weapon ? (NOT asking for any additional feats or abilities)
As far as I am aware the only place the weapon name shows up is on my character sheet, but I think something like, for example, Weapon: Bane of Orcs instead of Weapon: Iron Longsword, would be meaningful in the case of this PrC.

I freely admit my ignorance of any programming difficulties etc. this might involve, or any other technical or gameplay complications that this might entail.

*A small notice in fine handwriting*

I have available one (1) set of Copper Chainmail Armor. Although this armor is used, it is a product of dwarven craftmanship and has been well maintained through all these many seasons of campaigning. It has served me well.

If you are looking for a way to aquire some better armor without coming up with cash this an opportunity to do just that.  I am in need of white mushrooms. Provide me with three (3) full boxes and you can be the owner of this chainmail.

 Please contact me if this interests you

General Discussion / Found goods
« on: July 29, 2005, 03:51:00 am »
On several occasions, my fledgling character has gone to various crafting workstations to hone his skills in one craft or another and found CNR apparently left on the station by persons  unknown. Twice I have found goods that were way beyond the ability of my character to normally acquire or possess. In every instance, there were no other player characters even remotely in the area. In these instances is it "finders keepers ?" , or does some other policy or procedure apply ?

Hlint, Mistone

Dad,
 Hope that this letter finds you well. Although this letter is long overdue, I thought it best to let you know that I have arrived safely in Hlint. It is a bustling place with all manner of people. Never have I seen such a mix!  My funds are low at the present, but I have been able to pick up a few odd jobs. The local Postmaster has had me deliver the occasional urgent letter, not very exciting but it brings in some coin. On the advice of a fellow adventurer, I made a short roadtrip to Ft. Llast to enquire about some employment.  The commander of the fort could not hire me, but asked if I could help in restocking his weapons locker. I am working on this.
 Hlint also seems to be plagued with an undead problem as well. Several of the crypts seem to have periodic reawakening of skeletons, zombies, ghouls.  On these occasions, a posse is put together to deal with the situation. I have thus done my civic duty and  ventured into these tombs several times.
 When I first arrived in Hlint, I was befriended by an enormous orc (or was he a half-giant ?) named Glokk. Glokk gave me a full tour of Hlint. During our tour he introduced me to the the tax collector whose records had gone missing.  Glokk said that we should try to retrieve them, so we went into a rat infested sewer and eventually located them. The return of the tax records brought in a nice little reward. Glokk also helped me destroy a goblin scout band that had camped outside town. The local quartermaster had a small bounty on them that I was able to claim. Although I have trained long and hard with my sword, my efforts looked pitiful compared to this giant and his ax !
 Given the uncertainty of the local situation,I have redoubled my weapons training in my spare time. My main focus has been with wielding this fine sword with as much skill as I am capable of. In addition, I have been making occasional short, local trips to collect wood and harvest cotton. It may be necessary to learn  a trade to supplement my income and this might be the start.
  Although it is probably nothing, I had a most strange dream just before I arrived here. In the dream, a dragon said that I had been summonsed to help in the war against Blood...That mean anything to you ?  It has somehow been a bit unsettling to me. There is a local temple in town, dedicated to Ilsare; it is a nice place to go and meditate.
  I think that I may be spending a good deal of time here, so if you need me, you can address a letter to me, " in care of  Postmaster Vale, Hlint, Mistone." Vale seems a trustworthy man and I am sure he will make sure that it gets into my hands.

Roleplaying / Changing Deities
« on: July 22, 2005, 01:09:00 pm »
How would /could one go about having a character change religious affiliation?
I'm not talking about a cleric but, in my case, a warrior. My thought was to have a character who, at the start would have a particular affiliation, but, as time progresses, he changes and "discovers" a new better path ...maybe leading towards becoming a paladin or other holy warrior.(Newly converted fanatic). Would this  be best served only through  a Character Development Qust ? Any thouthts on the day-to-day roleplaying of this ?
