Yeah, I so wanted to have Melethos say something like: "I remember reading something about you..."

Except that no way would any of you have ever read or heard about Tallis in-game! He's black ops.
Just to document, at level 9, this is your current hit points.
Adamant 81
Belarin 61
Melethos 90
Kal 53
Shorak 66
Streko 55
For new hit points, you each have a choice. You can either roll your die for your class (only on a roll of "1" can you reroll), or else accept an average. That's 4 if you get a d6, 5 if you get a d8, or 6 if you get a d10. And then you still get to add your Constitution modifier. Let me know what you choose here and I'll make the change on your sheet. Link to any rolls you make, of course.

Kal listens stone-faced. "And you, Melethos? I would hear your mind on this." Did you miss Brian's previous in-game post? |

Me too, I'll take the 5hp+1(Con).

Surprise, y'all. Enter Elvis Podvorac! Some of you may know or remember him—and some not—starting with Joe. Joe, Elvis was one of the gang back on the old and now long-gone Worlds of D&D message boards when that was around, as CreepyBastard. A fellow Eberron fan of old. Also a writer and a family man...and our first Canadian now on the DE crew. Welcome, Elvis! I expect he'll bring some color, and colorful language, to these proceedings. And yep, he's a PC. Which doesn't make him a member of your party...yet. Just an ally. |

Welcome Elvis! A pleasant surprise I'm sure! As for colorful language, we usually use pink... sometimes green... |

Hah, that kind of colorful language, too. Yeah, a reminder: Pink is for out-of-character text in the main thread (whereas he it doesn't matter) and limegreen is for text specifically only for a certain player character. I do use orange for telepathic dialogue.

Hey all
Thanks for the welcome.
Jeff has been plotting this for a while. I have been reading through the adventure so far and enjoying it alot.
I hope I can maintain the same level of quality and help contribute to the story.
Looking forward to this.

Welcome, Elvis! Glad you can join the fun.
Orange is for languages other than common? I thought it was green.

Welcome, Elvis! Glad you can join the fun. Orange is for languages other than common? I thought it was green. What can I say, Dave? Jeff and I don't always agree. Way back when Kal first said something in Halfling, I used orange. It's sort of stuck for me, since then. I always assumed green was for things that not every character was supposed to know. |

The green thing has been consistent since forever, in my posts.

Hey, Darren. How many years more before you learn how to spell Karrn / Karrnath / Karrnathi? The correct spelling is before you all the time! Gah!!

Thul keeps his cards very tight to his chest.
I'm still getting the feel for this so apologies in advance if i give away too much/little through the narration.

Thul keeps his cards very tight to his chest. I'm still getting the feel for this so apologies in advance if i give away too much/little through the narration. It's an interesting topic. Way back when this game started (years ago!), I actually had suggested everyone post only external things, things everyone else can see and hear, and not post any internal character thoughts. That way everyone interprets only what they experience of each other, realistically. But no one ever really did it this way. (Except me; notice you never get any NPC thoughts.) And that's fine. I want you guys to write whatever's most fun for you. If that includes giving others a glimpse into your character's thoughts, that's totally fine. You're just trusting everyone else to separate player knowledge from character knowledge. So, what color should other languages be, then? I'm so confused. No hard rule on that, but I've sometimes gone with orange for other languages, too. What's probably throwing you off is that sometimes if only one person understands something spoken, I might put that in green to emphasize it. But most of the time the green is just extra info for one or more characters, whoever's called out therein. For example, in this post the green text is used to inform Kal of something only he's perceiving. And in this one the green is for Shorak only. |
