[21:46] christbound707: Alright, what's up
+
Miyama: In my own attempt to make you feel better, might I tell you about the laughs I've gotten from the Arduin Grimoire?
-
[21:46] christbound707: wait
+
 
-
[21:46] christbound707: shoot, I don't think he's there
+
Auphamim: Sure.
-
[21:46] Break Miyama: So we wait.

Break Miyama: The Arduin Grimoire was a 1st Edition optional sourcebook that was well known for its random table, which inevitably thinned out characters thrrough rolls of 1s and 20s.
-
[21:54] Break Miyama: Awesome.
+
 
-
[21:55] Break Miyama: Well, shall we get started on our combined post?
+
Break Miyama: Though there were 1st level randomly generated strengths and weaknesses (for example, my fighter rolled a result such that he knew ten languages at level 1, and other such incredibly powerful feats), it's most well-known for its critical hit and critical miss tables.
-
[21:55] christbound707: sure
+
 
-
[21:55] Break Miyama: Moreover, who shall post the next one? CAn't be Ice, so it's either one of us.
+
Break Miyama: And for some reason, the characters rolled a lot of 20s....when fighting each other.
-
[21:55] christbound707: whats up orms
+
 
-
[21:56] OrmsbyGore4: not much
+
Break Miyama: I kid not when I say that the in-party fighting all started with a fetus in a jar.
-
[21:56] OrmsbyGore4: getting ready to reimage my laptop
+
 
-
[21:56] Break Miyama: Reimage?
+
Auphamim: Nevermind.
-
[21:57] OrmsbyGore4: reburn?
+
 
-
[21:57] OrmsbyGore4: ah needz to reinstall teh windowz
+
Auphamim: Managed to solve it.

[21:57] Break Miyama: ok lol

-
[21:57] christbound707: having trouble with your systems?
+
Auphamim: Somehow.
-
[21:58] christbound707: system*

-
[21:59] OrmsbyGore4: nah
+
Break Miyama: Solve...?
-
[21:59] OrmsbyGore4: just been a little over a year
+
 
-
[21:59] OrmsbyGore4: general windows deterioration
+
Auphamim: Yeah. Imagine windows' theme becomes 3.11. Or something.
-
[21:59] christbound707: hmm
+
 
-
[21:59] christbound707: maybe I need to do that to my comp right now too
+
Auphamim: Creepy.
-
[22:00] christbound707: anyways, let's get to this post
+
 
-
[22:00] Break Miyama: "We may have to eat on the run," Shouren suggested.
+
Break Miyama: ....
-
[22:00] Break Miyama: "The skies don't seem to be agreeing with us."
+
 
-
[22:01] christbound707: "Lanwyn, how far is Caliese from here?" Eldebreth asked, more than a measure of concern in his voice
+
Break Miyama: *shudder*
-
[22:01] christbound707: ((Oh wait, is Jagi the one who is leading us?
+
 
-
[22:01] christbound707: ))
+
Auphamim: Indeed.
-
[22:01] Break Miyama: ((Yes.))
+
 
-
[22:02] OrmsbyGore4: ((I don't know that we have a party leader as such.))
+
Break Miyama: So, moving on...
-
[22:02] OrmsbyGore4: ((but I can answer the question))
+
 
-
[22:02] OrmsbyGore4: ((Why don't we have Sneaky here?))
+
Break Miyama: As part of the final portions of the battle, the party kensai was left blind and mute due to arrow related injuries.
-
[22:02] christbound707: ((I meant the person guiding us))
+
 
-
[22:03] OrmsbyGore4: ((I understand, but I've been in the area for a while, so I'd be equipped to answer the question as well as Jagi, who isn't present))
+
Break Miyama: They got his voice box and eyes, all because of that critical hit table.
-
[22:03] Break Miyama: ((GET SNEAKY HERE NAO))
+
 
-
[22:03] christbound707: ((There we go))
+
Break Miyama: In last-ditch effort, our blind kensai picked up a pebble and tossed it at the paladin holdig an orb of annihilation.
-
[22:04] OrmsbyGore4: "We're only about four hours away."

-
[22:05] Break Miyama: "Really, now? We can eat once we stop in Caliese, then." Shouren replied.
+
Auphamim: Death?
-
[22:05] Break Miyama: "I'm sure you can handle not going without food for a few hours more, right?"
+
 
-
[22:05] christbound707: "It might be best to rush there.  The storm is almost upon us, it would seem," Eldebreth added.
+
Break Miyama: Oh, it was so much sweeter. Natural 20.
-
[22:06] christbound707: "And yes, I can."
+
 
-
[22:06] Break Miyama: ((THe party is suddenly wracked with hunger pains...))
+
Break Miyama: We rolled on the critical hit table...
-
[22:06] RPGDreamr: ((I really wish you guys would include me at the ground level more often when doing session material when I'm on....))

Break Miyama: "Victim's heart explodes. Instant death."
-
[22:06] christbound707: ((We just got started, though))
+
 
-
[22:06] OrmsbyGore4: "I'm in agreement. We should probably be getting a move on."
+
Break Miyama: Due to a pebble.
-

-

+
 
-
[22:09] christbound707: ((We've decided to skip breakfast and rush to Caliese before the storm settles in. If we walk, we're only 4 hours away))
+
Break Miyama: Yes.
-
[22:10] SpikeNuhvok: Alright.
+
 
-
[22:13] Break Miyama: "Then make your packing quick," Shouren said as he stuffed his book into the backpack.
+
Break Miyama: A pebble made the paladin's heart explode.
-
[22:14] Break Miyama: ((Someone update the others?))
+
 
-
[22:15] SpikeNuhvok: Jagi shook out and rerolled the bedroll, and handed it back to Eldebreth. "Much thanks, m' friend," he said with a smile.
+
Break Miyama: Even through full-plate.
-
[22:15] SpikeNuhvok: He packed up the rest of his gear, and stood. "All ready to go, then?"
+
 
-
[22:16] christbound707: Eldebreth was already packed and ready, save the for the bedroll that he had lent to Jagi.
+
Break Miyama: It was glorious.
-
[22:16] christbound707: "I hope it wasn't too uncomfortable for you last night." he said as he walked up to the bard and took back his bedroll.
+
 
-
[22:16] christbound707: He then slid it into the bag at his side.
+
Auphamim: Interesting how a pebble can do that.
-
[22:16] SpikeNuhvok: "I' wa' fine," Jagi replied. "I'll 'ave t' ge' one m'self."
+
 
-
[22:17] Break Miyama: "Again, I'll remind you," Shouren chimed in.
+
Auphamim: Sounds like FATAL, though.
-

Break Miyama: As he fell, so did the orb of annihilation.
-
[22:18] Break Miyama: ((Let's go to hell))
+
 
-
[22:19] RPGDreamr: ((...))
+
Break Miyama: The orb shattered, and proceeded to deconstruct the universe at a very rapid rate. XD
-
[22:19] Break Miyama: Shouren zipped up the main pocket of his backpack, having filled it with everything he needed to carry.
+
 
-
[22:20] Break Miyama: "All ready?" Shouren asked as he slung the backpack strap over his right shoulder.
+
Auphamim: ...wha?
-
[22:26] christbound707: "Whenever you are." Eldebreth responded, stretching his arms out.
+
 
-
[22:27] Break Miyama: Shouren slung his coat over his other shoulder, and started down the road they traveled last night.
+
Break Miyama: The kensai was the only one left alive, and he was sucked into an alternate realm.
-
[22:28] Break Miyama: ((Are we basically done?))
+
 
-
[22:29] christbound707: ((I think so. just add a part where everyone follows along))
+
Break Miyama: The rest of us had to roll for new characters.
-
[22:29] Break Miyama: ((Go post, Orms. XD))
+
 
-
[22:38] OrmsbyGore4: sorry
+
Auphamim: >_<;; That's ridiculous.
-
[22:38] OrmsbyGore4: wasn't paying attention
+
 
-
[22:38] OrmsbyGore4: ok
+
Break Miyama: It was here where I rolled up Miss Reilina Sylpheed, the monk girl with no stat less than 14. Three 18s.
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: ...I don't know if some god loved or hated you all.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: From then on, I decided if I rolled ungodly high stats, that I would play as Reilina.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: But that's a bit outside of the current tale.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: Further escapades resulted in that blind/mute kensai hitting on an old inkeeper in order to stay for free.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: ....you can guess how that turned out.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: "....dude, HOW the hell are you going to hit on her if you can't speak, or even see her?"
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: In order to demonstrate, the player stood up, shook his hips slightly, and nodded in a most Elvis-like manner.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: ...the kensai slept in the stables that night.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: Fast forward, past fighting killer rabbits.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: My friend Tydraad rolled an 18 for Str, which, according to the tables in 1E, meant he could literally carry a ton without problem.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: My other character, a samurai, insulted Tydraad.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: Tydraad promptly stabbed him, and killed him in a single stroke.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: As punishment, the DM caused a portion of the cave ceiling to fall on Tydraad.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: "....how much does it weigh?"
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: "About one ton."
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: "...hey, no problem, I can technically carry that..."
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: "Did I say one ton? I mean one hundred."
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: And so Tydraad was dead.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: I quickly erased my samurai's character sheet and lent it to Tydraad, who used it because his previous one was rendered unreadable.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: Thus, he created a Templar character.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: ....shortly after, we were informed that the entire thing was a dream sequence, so reset back to before, but with all kept experience.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: ....
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: ....it was tough explaining how my samurai turned into Tydraad's templar, as Tydraad would then still be alive...
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: I'm dragging on.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: There's more to it, but I won't bore you with the details.
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: Go ahead.
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: Not bored, just listening.
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: Reading?
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: And then came the iconic "and/or", as mygaming group refers to it to this day.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: It's an entry on that critical hit table that reads "Breasts and/or genitals ripped off from the attack - shock for 1-8 rounds, followed by death."
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: ...XD
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: ....we landed the and/or on a giant slug.....
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: I don't know how.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: I don't know why.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: But we did.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: Thinking back to the pebble incident, one could land the and/or with a small rock, or, dare I say it, one's bare hands. ><
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: >_>... Interesting.
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: I'll think more widely when DM'ing now on.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: I wished I had scanned the Arduin Grimoire.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: It's pure comedic gold.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: And that's about it for my tale.
 +
 
 +
Auphamim: Interesting.
 +
 
 +
Break Miyama: To think I was introduced to D&D through THAT mess.

Miyama: In my own attempt to make you feel better, might I tell you about the laughs I've gotten from the Arduin Grimoire?

Auphamim: Sure.

Break Miyama: The Arduin Grimoire was a 1st Edition optional sourcebook that was well known for its random table, which inevitably thinned out characters thrrough rolls of 1s and 20s.

Break Miyama: Though there were 1st level randomly generated strengths and weaknesses (for example, my fighter rolled a result such that he knew ten languages at level 1, and other such incredibly powerful feats), it's most well-known for its critical hit and critical miss tables.

Break Miyama: And for some reason, the characters rolled a lot of 20s....when fighting each other.

Break Miyama: I kid not when I say that the in-party fighting all started with a fetus in a jar.

Auphamim: Nevermind.

Auphamim: Managed to solve it.

Auphamim: Somehow.

Break Miyama: Solve...?

Auphamim: Yeah. Imagine windows' theme becomes 3.11. Or something.

Auphamim: Creepy.

Break Miyama: ....

Break Miyama: *shudder*

Auphamim: Indeed.

Break Miyama: So, moving on...

Break Miyama: As part of the final portions of the battle, the party kensai was left blind and mute due to arrow related injuries.

Break Miyama: They got his voice box and eyes, all because of that critical hit table.

Break Miyama: In last-ditch effort, our blind kensai picked up a pebble and tossed it at the paladin holdig an orb of annihilation.

Break Miyama: ....care to guess what the die result was?

Auphamim: Death?

Break Miyama: Oh, it was so much sweeter. Natural 20.

Break Miyama: We rolled on the critical hit table...
