Stupid computers

sinjunSo, mine crashed yesterday... despite being virus free as certified by 2 different virus scanners.
Ah well, the problem, you see, is that overheating bit. Seems it might just have mangled the network card or something. New case with additional fans today. Hopefully that will help.
Meanwhile, apologies to those I left midscene - it wasn't my fault, and I still can't get back on the internet on my PC at home. Just so you know. Hopefully, that will be fixed by the time I get home from Nightclass tonight.
The suckiest part is that I lost 4 hours of time to work on my accounting stuff. *sigh*

arwen77 has departed for home, and hopefully is arriving there sometime around now. With his very own talking Stitch. *mwahahahahaha*
The cluck up brigade?
Well, those of us who were still level 2 are now at level 3. And Tiaryn didn't die... not quite. ;) She did cluck up though - go figure. But in the end, they helped destroy some bad guys, and Tiaryn is beginning to take it personally that the red robed wizards and Gruumsh's priests keep picking on her ... or her family. Course, since she's only a bard, it doesn't seem to matter too much that she's getting peeved. Though - her parents did give her an interesting fireball wand. A wild fireball wand, it turns out. *shudders* That thing is scary.
Oh, and it truly sucks to be dizzy throughout the whole fight and barely able to inspire your friends with your music. But at least her friends now have to admit that Tiaryn's performances are improving. *beams* Which only means that I'll no doubt roll a 1 next time.
One of these days though, Tiaryn will manage to kill something, and the whole party will die of the shock. Including the DM. ;)
It will be interesting to see how this goes, once it's moved online. I guess we will see.

Like those unknown potions/cloaks, daggers.
But your best bet is the 4th level ability increase, or a prestige class that includes ability increases. *grins*

Date: 2003-03-31 10:57 am (UTC)Indeed. Perhaps we can sweet talk the DM? I don't really know how to help the girl out.

The DM does, after all, have a badness level that is unusually high for someone of his size. *smirk*

Do you think we will ever make it to Waterdeep?

No doubt.
Though, if nothing else, Danilo and Arilyn might be kindly disposed towards us at the moment. Even if they might think we don't appear to need /too/ much help. *grins*
How much you want to bet that Fireball wand has no charges left?
Re:

Appearances can be so deceiving!

Date: 2003-03-31 11:44 am (UTC)And that's why I'm sure the darn thing has no charges left. ;)
But well, there's only one way to find out for sure. As a bonus, Tia can now cure light wounds once per day... or she can cast mage armor once per day ... *grins*
Though I did request a DM judgement on the spells per day table for Bards. I wanted to know if the charisma bonus applies there too. If so, she can cast 2 first level spells per day! If not, well, it was worth a try. :)
Oh, and I changed my mind about the message spell. Decided that Protection from EVIL was a better choice.

Hell, yes!
(You'll want that spell, eventually, in my D20 Campaign, if we ever do that one, too. *wicked glint — always bad to leave Ky bored and restless on a Creative Day*)
This is scrolling way too far over now.
Date: 2003-03-31 12:05 pm (UTC)I'll keep that in mind. ;) If we run that campaign, and I can get such a spell, it'll be fun. Mind you, I know nothing about the modern setting for this stuff. Other than there is a Mirelle class. *snickers*
Oh, and I think we should start a new stream of comments.
