Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

[Firewind]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

It's long overdue but I wanted to post it after Cid's notes were up to date to avoid confusion. None of this makes sense and most wasn't even legible due to my lack of sobriety but here we go:

Firewind's Scrawled Notes

Foundry = boom

Sarshan Escaped

Cage of Gloom = Disarm and Grapples nastiness. Avoid.

Panthers = Faster than Lili and Vince. DM is a troll.

Need to Explain Actions to Jarre again.

Mirror Images piss off Yyg. Need to prep it more often.

Flanking Shennanigans with Floaty Jarre

Grappling attempt. Need Armando's Flowchart

Escape Artist + Grapple = Dorf Kryptonite

Surfing badguys and Angle debates. Who cares? We won.

Tower blows up.

Other panther still alive. Why the fuck are we debating what to do with it? We need to run.

More stuff blowing up. More debating. We still need to run.

Viva la Revolution!

Cowboy Bebop resolution - we won but everything is in ruins. Hope it doesn't come out of our reward.

Change scene, Action Wizard and Rogue chase.

Scene is all skill checks, we sent a Wizard, we're fucked.

Boss plays lava chicken with Vince.

Jarre wants to ride things (ew)

Mezlo fails a spot check

Boss runs into Crowd, Mezlo opens fire on said crowd.

Mezlo fails a spot check

We fail more skill checks and fail at parkour.

Mezlo fails a spot check

Cid fails at tackling.

FINISH HIM! Oh and Mezlo fails a spot check.

Lawful Good Shiny Dagger. Did we kill a good guy by mistake?

Cid gets Mind Raped.

Dagger Backstory: Centuries ago Red hand beast raiding. Shadar-kai leaders. Conquered worlds. Thannu was merciless commander. Thannu attacks Battle Nuns south of a monestary. Thannu kills Battle Nuns. Battle Nun leader killed and soul trapped into a dagger that talks. Dagger in our debt. We now have Lawful Good Battle Nun Dagger

+2 Dagger of Princess Buttercup for Cid. Cid doesn't want it. He's an idiot.

Theron: "There's a person in this!"

Dagger not worth much but Lili and Theron want to keep it around. Lili holding on to it for now. Should be fun to piss off Vince.

Loot: +1 Katars, +1 Chain Whip, 150 GP, 2,500 XP, Brass Key, +2 Talking Dagger and an Unconscious Neutered Panther

Vince has a Lawful Good Girlfriend now.

[Armando]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

I don't recall the fate of the other panther, but I assume it's either gone or dead; otherwise, I'd have taken it too.

[Firewind]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

Didn't Jarre castrate one for Mezlo too?

[Armando]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

I forgot that Armando took the panther with him.

However, I can't remember which one I took.

[Jarre]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

I should juststart taking notes... though like sids notes on me. Slice goblin in half while armando grappling it, think Armando and I should run a butchers shop lol

[Firewind]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

I should really type up my notes from the last session.

[Mezlo]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

Well let's see your notes then.

I'm a regular Herodotus over here.

Fine, here are my notes.

1. KILL ADAM
2. KILL LILY
3. KILL VINCE
4. KILL JARRE
5. HAVE BEERS WITH ARMANDO

~EAW


See! No crying anywhere!

[cidbahamut]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

Well let's see your notes then.

I'm a regular Herodotus over here.

[Mezlo]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

I call BS.

[cidbahamut]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

It was after we got back from the outing where you killed Adam's character. I think you were trying to show remorse or something.

[Mezlo]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

I don't recall. What was I weeping over with Lord Oran? What were the circumstances?

- - - Updated - - -

Because of the loss of a party member? I'm the EAW... I don't cry over that, your notes are obviously wrong. My character aside, I would never play a character crying... This was a made up hyperbole. I might have said, "It's a shame she died..." but that's as weepy as the EAW would get.

[cidbahamut]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

You definitely made a point of trying to be all weepy for Lord Oran. I mean really, it's right there in my notes.

[Mezlo]

Re: Cid's Notes: To be read in a drunken slur...

so far the best note is:

"DM bullshitted me into the fight"

- - - Updated - - -

"Mezlo now has pants"

- - - Updated - - -

"Oh yeah, and Mezlo killed Adam's character in cold blood and rage quit the session. Should definitely make a note of that." You obviously missed the point...

- - - Updated - - -

"Mezlo cries (loss of party member)" Ummm... Mezlo has never cried, so hmm... WTF?!?!?

- - - Updated - - -

"Flaming Action Wizard"

- - - Updated - - -

"We're Dragon Riders (Mezlo's impromptu name for our adventuring party)s" And this is a bad ass name we need to continue to support.

- - - Updated - - -

"my new armor is shit
new armor did not block a single attack" LOL, user error. Blame the user not the equipment.

- - - Updated - - -

"Mezlo aims for goblin's butt" Weird to note that... but whatever floats yer boat

- - - Updated - - -

"First fireball, worst fireball ever" lolololololol

- - - Updated - - -

"Mezlo crit-failed and killed Lili by shooting her in the back
Charge Mezlo, tripped by Armando" You're lukcy Armando tripped you or I would've killed you in self defense. I think you had 1 or 2 hp, and I activated my flaming cloak. PLus there probably would've been a self defense invoked force missle to great you...

- - - Updated - - -

"Kalad + Mezlo sexists assholes" lololololololololol

- - - Updated - - -

I am concerned though that Cid refers to me as my forum name and not my character name... Mezlo is not sexist, the EAW might be though...
