Yeah I was basically just waiting for everyone to finish chatting up Volo and getting info because I couldn't think of anything to add. Figured we were all going to bed after and heading out in the morning.

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Hell yeah. Cleric who rolls a 1 on a religion check!

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Hell yeah. Cleric who rolls a 1 on a religion check!

Maybe your character is still drunk from the previous night

 

[Magni Kragtail]

You fit right in with the bard who rolled a 1 on persuasion

 

[Magni Kragtail]

Maybe she was a little baked

 

[Magni Kragtail]

@Benzine Just wondering, what does Zine look like? Seems like you're the only one without some kind of character portrait anywhere, so I kinda just picture a generic dude.

 

[Ben Zine]

sounds good to me

 

[Ben Zine]

He looks like this

 

[Kutshort Yes]

He looks like this

Just as I pictured him

@VashTheStampede So I know if I search the battlefield I can get back half the arrows I use, but since I replaced Blade Ward with Mending, would I be able to use that to increase the amount I'm able to recover?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Yeah we can bump it up to 75%

Losing only 1 in 4 seems pretty good.

Played around with Bing a bit lol

 

[Ben Zine]

I've become quite busy, and although it's the weekend I actually have multiple cricket games and childrens birthday parties over the weekend, plus a super busy week next week. I'll still be about but won't check as often, if someone else wants to push some of our chats along.

Not fussed if you don't either, but just wanted to share my activity levels for the next bit. Zine will be right by your side and in your hearts always.

 

[Ben Zine]

and don't be afraid to rigourously tag me if you ever need me, i will re-priotise things of transient importance like my family's well being. it will help me to get back in, truly.

that's for things like when you need me to eldritch blast if some scoundrels appear at this pub too

 

[Ben Zine]

oh and then the next week i am actually IN america so i might be busy then too

 

[VashTheStampede]

we'll just keep the pub crawl going for a few more weeks

floon would understand

 

[Ben Zine]

level 8 from pub encounters alone pls

 

[Magni Kragtail]

Zine's gonna accidentally multiclass into a drunken fist monk at this rate.

 

[Ben Zine]

That is one of the other characters I'm thinking of. The plan for that one is that he too is new to adventuring, but he's an older man who's suddenly found he has an absolute killer penchant for martial arts that has hitherto been able to reveal itself. he quickly becomes strong and stronger, all that stuff goes really well for him. but because of this, he has none of the wise old kung fu master wisdom and such, he's a total tool.

then there's my begrudging healer...

 

[Ben Zine]

Sorry guys I have no other whinging thread and you are my best pals now. Man, I have hurt myself play cricket today. Not like Tubby fortunately. Have pulled some sort of muscle in the left side of my back. I feel like the hardest guy I know has fully hooked me in the side. Owie.

Leading up to it I literally played the best game of my life (I love cricket but it’s by far my worst sport). Ah well.

@Tubby23 we scored 295 in a t20 and they almost chased it down, 10 short. Ridiculous.

Also since you guys know basketball as Americans, this one is for you to make up for cricket. This week just gone we were down 3 with 16 seconds to go. We run the shittest pick and roll you’ve seen that ends in a made 3 with 2 on the clock. Cheers go up for us from the teams waiting to use the court.

Timeout, they advance, then they hit the biggest 3 you’ve seen in ages over our most athletic giant man. It actually was a fun way to lose.

 

[VashTheStampede]

My back also hurts.

I think I laid down funny.

It's not as good of a story.

I get that too. My back is fucked. This injury is to a different part of my back.

[Lok Ahl]

Agreed

Actually, 1-10 I don't agree. 11-20 they can join

 

[VashTheStampede]

Uh I think you actually had advantage on that roll

With the increasing amount of Conan in this forum, I'm led to believe our secret unlockable party member is actually Conan.

It's a shame the dice decided he's not allowed to join though

You assume it's a he!

 

[Magni Kragtail]

I assume it is Conan O'Brien. There is no other possibility but my conanspiracy theory. He's coming.

Run

Just another reminder that I’m quite busy so please free free to get zine to do as you please.

Right now I’m flying over the little hills you guys got between La and Denver.

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Yeah I was busy with work stuff last week, so wasn't on as much. Things should be better from me for a bit. I do try to give Flame and Local a chance to jump in if they want.

 

[Ben Zine]

@Local Hero go nuts

@The Flame watch locals nuts

Who is our new player? Christina is saying it’s a girl, I was hoping for Tommy. Welcome to whomever you are and I hope like fighting and drinking

I just said it was an assumption that it was a male.

 

[Lok Ahl]

To death and glory or something

 

[Ben Zine]

I just said it was an assumption that it was a male.

But I was led to believe that was the way the cookie crumbled or something
