Oops. I hope tthat was me you were looking at, Caerwyn, and not that other guy. I thought it was, but now I'm not totally sure.

In hindsight, it probably was Herne that Caerwyn was talking to (Silver has "slightly pointed ears" and Caerwyn specifically mentions rounded ears).
I don't think it would be too difficult to play off, though. You could just say that Herne was directly between Silver and Caerwyn, and that Silver thought Caerwyn was looking at him when she was actually looking at Herne.

Did something happen to you in your childhood to give you this unreasonable fear of rutabaga?
That works pretty well. I can easily imagine Silver becoming flustered at thinking he was seen, especially by someone he had been following for a while. Since Herne just kinda stalked off without much of an answer, I guess we'll see. Merita really probably gets to choose.

Probably. Looks like the main difference between me and the new guy (We both wear green, we both have a bow, we both got our inspiration from Rangers Apprentice (I think he did, at least)) is that I carry a staff as well as my bow, rather than a sword, with silver ends, and I'm a good seven inches shorter than him. So height is a good way to tell us apart.
In fact, it looks like I'm at least seven inches shorter than EVERYONE. You are extra tall, so just imagine Silver cricking his neck to look up at you.

Try to wait for at least 2 different people to post between each of your posts, it's just a good practice to prevent the RP from devolving into the adventure of the two players who have the most free time, it's a rule I usually keep in the OP, i'm not going to be strict about it though, I'm sure there are plenty of other more active RPs you can spend your extra posts on.
In a dungeons and dragons -esque RP, treat dungeons as you would dragons, they are characters themselves and are preferably not controlled by players.
Sorry to the moderators, but i'm steering this ship a little bit off course. I hope you enjoy.

Sorry for being inactive, got a lot of stuff on me but i will try to post more often though. my recent will probably catch me up the latest event now. Also the skeleton was kind of random to be honest while i was reading other posts to catch it looks like the skeleton just spawn out of nowhere. I think JayFarlander should have ask Solawind or the moderators about it first before spawning something that could have conflicted with the plot.
I can maybe see Herne deflecting those arrows. According to the OP, 2 DEX is above average, and since he'd probably be deflecting the arrows with his sword, you could say that he's benefiting from Swordsmanship and gets a +1 DEX bonus. Since we're probably assuming the skeletons have been here a long time, their bows aren't going to be maintained well and likely can't fire a properly powerful shot, which might allow him to swat them out of the way.
Catching arrows seems impossible though, he doesn't have a free hand and doesn't have outstanding DEX. He could probably just shatter the skull under his foot anyway, using the arrow is impractical.
Unrelated but also worth noting, Herne only has 2 MAG so he's probably spent all his Earthen Missiles on the skeletons; not sure if Jayfarlander is aware of the limits of spellcasting.
pssst there are no skeletons in the catacombs, please edit your posts.
I'm sorry that I can only post near the weekend (work and all that) but please refrain from making up enemies within dungeons, they are preplanned maps and just making necromancy be present may interfere with what that particular dungeon actually is. (For example, this is not a dungeon, but instead a timecapsule warning of a recurring catastrophe and detailing how it can be stopped.)
For future reference here's a list of things players can't control:
Dungeons,
Dragons,
Main NPCs (Like Elgar),
Other Players.
Doing so is 'power gaming' (controlling another person's character without their permission) as the GM of this RP, these things are my characters (excluding your characters of course).
(Also, if there is a map involved, any enemies present will be drawn on to said map. )
All of us? O_O I think we might need to just go back in time and try again, about half our recent posts are all about the skeletons.

post 110, 115 and 119 are the only posts built entirely around the skeletons, the rest only have a small section at the end. It is important that there not be skeletons in this dungeon or else the next chapter of this story wont make any sense at all. Sorry that this mostly affects your latest post which is quite long and quite well done, but I did just say not to make up stuff in this dungeon. I really am sorry, the alternative is to make the skeletons a hallucination which makes even less sense. For this inconvenience Silver gains 1 ability score point.
Feel free to spoiler your post or move it to OOC if you don't want to remove your work.
Nah, that's all OK. I try not to mention stuff or talk about them unless they've been mentioned before, and I think it kinda just spiraled out of control. I have literally no qualms about waiting for you to make monsters for us.

No issues here, I've made the necessary edits to my post (removed the most recent appearance of the armored skeleton and changed the sounds of swords clashing to the sounds of Etorias's platemail).
In the event that we need to retcon something like the skeletons again (though I doubt you will need to), you're welcome to use Gilor's illusions as a way to explain it away. If it makes sense in context, of course.

Welp, I edited my post somewhat, to give it better actions compared to what is going on. I like this style a lot. Bring us forward, DM! Lead us through the dungeon!

Maybe change Hex of Fatigue to a more general Hex spell with variations depending on which stat it reduces, but each still taking up one skill slot. For example, Hex of Fatigue would still reduce the STR stat while Hex of Confusion would reduce INT and cause a 'confusion' debuff if INT falls below 0. All variations wear off after some time or when the caster wills it to. Here's some ideas for the variations:
- Name : Stat : Effect if stat is reduced to 0 or lower
- Fatigue : STR : Prevents affected from physically attacking, etc.
- Shattered Defenses : DEF : Increases damage taken
- Clumsiness : DEX : Reduces accuracy and agility
- Confusion : INT : Causes confusion
- Impedance : MAG : Prevents spell casting
Here is another spell idea:
- Mana Drain: [REQ. MAG 4+] The user drains magical energy from the opponent, reducing their spell charges and restoring the user's. 1 charge is drained at 4 MAG and this increases by 1 every 3 MAG points. (1 at 4 MAG, 2 at 7 MAG, 3 at 10 MAG, etc.)
By the way Rokudo, if I'm not mistaken, I think your character has a stat point and skill slot from when the characters levelled up in OOC post #62. Also, your character was one of the ones that received a free health potion.
Yeah, you can still join, I'll read over your application now. Most of those spells already exist in the OP:
Thorn, Fireball bolt, Tundra, IceMissile, Deluge: magic missile.
Dragon Breath: Breath Weapon, Unnatural Breath Weapon.
Golem Armor: Stone Skin
Revive: Ressurection
Restore: heal
etc.
reflavoring spells and abilities is always allowed, I don't want to add every little variation of a spell since it would bloat the OP.
Yeah, Your application is good, welcome aboard, feel free to drop in wherever you feel fits.
Thanks! I was just trying to give you at least a couple spells to use. :3
Yeah, no problem, new spells are always welcome, I just want to minimize the OP so that anyone who wants to join doesn't have to read as much.
A wind control attack and a general explosion might be good additions, I'll see what I already have.

No, Elgar is just running off so none of you can just follow me, that'd be boring. But I'm yet to level up so I want to do some stuff.
