Revision as of 13:19, 16 February 2009

This page is for discussion of stuff related to the game coming up this week, no matter when that actually is. For instance, we can all assume Nate isnt coming for some lame reason and that Ed is sick of pizza and is bringing teriyaki or some other crap. They can post something here if that happens to be untrue.

Attendance and Food Preference

2/20/09

GABE: Do you miss your balls Brandon?

BEN: barring major changes, I will be out of town next weekend, so no OAAAA on the 20th. Hopefully Gabe or Jason can host something.

ED: one of us should pick up the decks. Matt, do you want to do supers? we would need an early yea or nay from Gabe, Deiter and I to reach a quorum of 3 players. I'll be there. alternately a one shot from Gabe or Jason's lovecraftian game? Jason, if you do want to do this, let us know how early we need to get characters done by. Alternately again, I could host board games at my place.

MATT: I'll be gone friday as well.

--Gdaze 01:53, 16 February 2009 (MST) Well I can do something Friday, I'd only prefer to do it at my place cuz rides after work are hard to come by. But that said, 2 people are out, Brandon are you out too?

--Dieter the Bold 10:52, 16 February 2009 (MST) Dieter is down for a one-shot, but would also love a boardgaming night. Just played Bootleggers with Jason and his crew and it was most enjoyable. Would be down for that, some Betrayal at the House, Carcassone, Kahliss, etc.

Ranting and raving or other random comments

ED: Dieter, there is a BSG board game, that the games store guy says is great. it's a cooperative board game where all players are working together, except for the traitor (a cylon) hidden amongst the players.

--Dieter the Bold 10:53, 16 February 2009 (MST) Yeah, saw it at PAX, but didn't get to see details on it. I would definitely like to give it a try sometime.

Other RPG or Non-RPG or Monthly Board Gaming Day gaming Events

Current OAAAA XP: 75 base + 168 XP

ED: 75 + 168xp, is that correct? Can we get a recap from last session. please tell me this orc business is over or at least nearly so.

--Dieter the Bold 11:02, 16 February 2009 (MST) Incorrect. Bonus XP for being awesome. It's now 75 + 169xp. Recap is as follows:

Galen gets taken through orc camp.
Galen spots the Kestrel and yucks it up with him some.
Galen gets audience with Grundbad, things go well enough.
Galen spots out of place hut near Grundbad's pavilion (I swear I saw chicken feet hiding under it)
Galen meets up w/ Tithe and Aeten, minor melee ensues.
The group announces itself (in Aefra's name) to the camp.
The camp moves, but Grundbad meets us on neutral ground and we chat it up.
Group gets jumped by an Imadigo ninja (aka, Sky wannabe) who tries to make off with Tithe's bag which contains Gwyndonlin's letter.
Group beats on ninja (who wickedly stabs Galen in the vitals) and retrieves the bag and letter.
Sasha ferries the group over to Grundbad's new camp.
Group finds mysterious hut again and is invited in by..... DUNdunDUNNNNNNN!!!... Jagha
Tithe is suspicious and gets stuck outside where he slowly freezes and is then turned to stone.
On the inside, Aeten and Galen chat Jagha up, reveal most of our mission.
Tithe is turned back to normal so we can have a discussion and a new accord is reached.

• All of the Auspice Bound (Daenerys and Nate's character included) owe Jagha one task of her choosing (we can all help, and she assured us they would be reasonable).
  
• Oryxys most desires what Ixymion had, mastery of magic. There exist the Novice Tomes in Csara which can teach anyone magic. We need to go there and get the tomes. We're given 20 days to do it. We can also call on Iyi for help, and Jagha will plain do it herself if we fail to do it by 20 days (we'd prefer to avoid both of the latter two options).
  

And that's game.

Edmiao wow, the wiki is running wicked slow today. re the above.... damn you all to hell!!!

BEN: LOL. One important addition: no tasks for Jagha until Daenerys is safe from her current predicament.
As for metagame info, if y'all beeline it for the tomes (you only need one of them, there are probably 3-5 copies, distributed by the Achraea school), you should be able to get one by the end of next session. That will leave one session for the return to the island and whatever resolution lies in store for all of you in Book 1. I'm being deliberately vague on that because a.) you guys have quite a bit of freedom about how you approach the situation on the island and b.) because not everything will get wrapped up in that session. This story was, as written on the OAAAA page, conceived as a story in 3 "books", which means that you won't succeed in whack-a-mole-ing everybody. Also, player actions throughout the story have significantly changed what will happen in the last session from my original conception of it. If there are particular things you'd like to see make an appearance in the last session (people or events or things) let me know either here or via email, I'm sure I don't remember every interesting encounter y'all had during the course of the last 12 sessions.
as for what happens afterwards: that's basically up to you guys. We can move on to book 2 or I can step down as GM and someone else can take over: I'm fine with either one.
