Just for clarification on some of Feora's actions in her last few posts:
Feora although she is an oracle, Feora doesn't realize she is an oracle. She believes that she is in fact a very inept cleric. If and when she comes to the realization that she is not a cleric, then her perceptions on things might change. Until that point though, normally a cleric has to pray for spells at a particular time, and since she has not had a chance to perform her Dawnwalk yet, she very seriously believes that she is without her power until she can get out on the sun and prepare herself appropriately and do her prayers.
I think that seeing the sun or not seeing the sun has no effect on it rules wise. As long as you pray at the time of dawn, or the best approximation of it underground, you get your spells. But, if that's how you want to play it it's an interesting character quirk.
To explain my thinking, Trig is not good in any way shape or form. Not that she wants to hurt people, she just doesn't really care. She mainly cares about getting rich (because of greedy Fligg's influence), and experiencing new things. I think I should have made her alignment CN, since she can have such weird mood swings. I just avoid that alignment as a general rule since so many people have bad associations with it. But I think she's the first character I've played that's actually CN.
That's fair enough. Time of day yes, but on doing my research, there is a particular ritual that Sarenites do called the dawnwalk. To my understanding of it, it is done during the dawning of the day, and it is basically a walking prayer/quiet time. The issue is at this point technically she could do it, but she feels the need to see the sun and such for it to be effective.
Granted, as an oracle, none of this is required, but it is how she was trained.
Looks like my wife is having this baby. Will likely be out the next 24 or so.
I'll keep posting tonight until we leave.
Grats! Wish everything to go smoothly for you all :)
Congrats! Let us know how things are going! We demand pictures! :P
Contractions are roughly 10 apart now, but we aren't to go in until they are 4 apart. So we shall see.
Which summoning spell is it that helps a baby along the birthing process again?
Accio Fetus!
Oh wait, no. That'd be messy...
It would actually be Summon Nature's Ally from a First Worlder to get Unicorns to sooth the pain. Just saying...
Hope everything goes well for the two of you! Congratulations! (And I'm with Feora in wanting pictures!)
Well, when this stubborn child finally decides it's time, I will post a way.
Does anyone have enough craft alchemy to make some universal solvent? That might help a little. Or perhaps an application of some strange usage of reverse gravity.
We had to get painkillers and let my wife sleep. My daughter was rotated to the right and stuck on the pelvis. When my wife slept her muscles relaxed enough between contractions to let the baby rotate enough to come out. We were in real-deal hard labor for 1.5 days ish.
We have been in "active labor" according to the doctor since last monday (31st) but contractions did not start until yesterday. The wifey is currently contracting about every 10-15 minutes. Water hasn't broken.
Ya, I know where you are. Hope those speed up soon. The hard part is still to come. :)
Edit: may not want to mention that though
Oh my god, she's beautiful! Congratulations to the both of you! I hope it was as easy and painless as birth can be (not that that's much, mind you...)
What's her name? :)
Annabeth. It was very quick, all things considered, and since her water didn't break until the baby was crowning, the pain was lower on the the scale than it could have been. I think she is actually suffering more now than she was during. Only had to push for about 30 minutes tops.
Baby! Congrats! Yay quick birth!
(^___________^) cuuuuuuuuuuuuute!
She's adorable. I'm glad it all went well, and you'll have to excuse me for making some very unbecoming squealy noises...
Surgery update: teeth all out. Apparently I did a crocodile roll as I was waking up and yanked the needle out of my arm, so I have a nice bruise there. Mouth full of stitches, everything's bloody and very sore. Really groggy, but they gave me good drugs.
My mother's been looking after me, and my boyfriend's been great. He bought me chocolate custard so I can eat, and he's fetching me drinks and tissues. Currently snuggled down on the couch watching Black Adder.
Glad to hear that roll didn't damage anything. Hope everything heals well! :)
Oh man! that sounds like it might hurt a little. Get to feeling better! On the bright side, you picked the perfect time to do it, considering our GM's brand new bundle of cuteness and joy. She really is adorable.
Just think happy thoughts, like newborn babies, puppies licking your face with cuteness. dragon hatchlings biting off their very first finger.
Fair warning, if my earlier post wasn't enough of an indication, I am a bit nuts..., perhaps sleep deprived. I blame a certain person I know, who shall remain nameless.
As a result, if anything said sounds a little nuts, crazy, odd or perhaps oddly clear and sane, please attribute it to sleep dep, and call a professional.
We used to breed spoodles, so I just look at photos of them to cheer up. It works! And I giggled at the dragon hatchlings.
Olivius, please tell me we'll end up total bros one day. With all this conflict, it would be a damn shame if we didn't. :p
Seven levels is a long time. ;)
Juuuust long enough for us to end up singing duets? :D
Not likely...
:P
Unless your part can be accompanied by the sound of enemies dashing themselves to bits upon my impregnable shield.
Stats updated to reflect new armor.
Why does Trig make me want to roll dice to see the outcome of things that probably just shouldn't happen?
:P
Probably just as well you didn't... it could have sparked off some PvP. :P
Please none of that. I know it's not PFS, but I'm not a fan! I like the tension, not the dice rolling against one another.
I believe he was being sarcastic. I'm also not down with PVP.
Unless you include a good RP punch. Depending on how this relationship goes, Horatio might need a good punch now and again. ;)
He's my character, and I think he needs a good punch now and then.
You guys are comic relief, I swear.
Sorry I didn't upload that map earlier. I am currently away from my laptop so I had no way to copy it. :(
And I'm just clueless. Last few days have been bleeeeeeh for me. >.>
Hey, this hasn't moved for a while. Mr. GM, are you okay? Is everything alright with Mrs. Hills and baby Annabeth? =(
And Ms. Fiora. She hasn't been seen in a while, either. Maybe Olivius scared her off? :(
More likely Horatio would be the one to scare her off. I mean, sheltered church girl meets over-amorous slut?
No no, sorry I have been very busy with work and sleep. Which is about all I feel like I can manage the last week or so. I am keeping tabs on things, but with positioning and such, I just don't have much I can do.
I will try to work on getting a post up today at the office, but if not then it will be whenever I get home, and most likely have had a long nap.
Sorry to keep you guys out of the loop. >.<
No worries! I just worry about things dying. I hate games dying. Especially good games.
I'z hurr.
LOL, ok, I was honestly waiting on Feora in this game, I have been bogged with work the last few days, but things are looking better now that the project is finished, posts are coming tonight and should be steady again, as I don't foresee another project for a while (these nonsensical things pop up about once every 6-9 months)
Yay for new posts! But I have to sleep, so I'll be responding in 6-7 hrs. :)
