I'd like to take the sword. It's soooo shiiiny.

I'd like to take the sword. It's soooo shiiiny.

Which one?

Typically I'd assume you're referring to the Sword of Flaming Fury, but a lot of undead have issues with fire, so I can't be certain.

Sorry I wasn't on today; I was kinda taken by surprise by my baby nephew's 1st birthday, and needed a nap afterward 'cause of the early start to prepare, and the sugar crash when it was all over.

ANY-crap, if no-one objects, I'd like to claim those spare 9-mil rounds for Cayden's pistol; the reason he's so conscious of his ammo supply is because he usually needs more than one shot to align his accuracy at typical pistol range.

[Joel]

Aye, that's the one. And I ain't exactly the dry, dusty undead type. And after all, I can absorb energy.

[Poopenheimer]

Remember Donny's scavenger perk? I found an extra 70 9mm rounds for Maria, and 2 health potions for Cooper. Oh, and for some reason some thread. it might be dirty, and contains more bacteria than a rotting corpse, but it should fit Climber pretty well.

Okay, Specs for Maria:

She fires 9mm rounds at a rate of 4 rounds a second, with 13 rounds a clip. Her effective range is higher than the average pistol, being still accurate at 130m - 210m. That's not to say she's useless at close range though. Fun fact: It costs Donny $400,000 to fire this weapon... for 12 seconds... It cost Donny $4000 to get this pistol made. (He is very good at convincing people, remember?)

[wolf_skinchanger]

Your scavenging skill doesn't count for much when the master has already tallied up the loot; if it did, Cayden would have taken bullets from the riflemen we faced before we came down here. Gnolls are born scavengers, after all; it's an integral part of their culture. And it was by scrounging and scavenging that Cayden in particular built up his skill at thievery.

Now, maybe some of the loot the master listed was found by you specifically, but you can't just "find" whatever we happen to want or need at that moment, and it stretches suspension of disbelief too far when there's no reason for dead foes to have possessed something, except that the party needed it(such as Climber's thread of life).

EDIT: Also, it doesn't matter how smooth a talker you are; no living person on this planet would ever let themselves be cheated out of that much money.

[Poopenheimer]

Why does everyone have to find fault in what I do? *Bursts into tears*

A guy like Donny does have connections... He also had a favour from someone very important. DON'T QUESTION ME

[wolf_skinchanger]

I don't question; I analyze and I theorize.

That powerful favor makes all the difference; it's a key piece of information that I didn't have before, and the lack of that information made it look like your 'smooth talking' was being elevated to a mind control power on the level of Charles Xavier.

Now that I know different, it's a lot easier to accept.

[Poopenheimer]

I had an idea. How about as we're running away from the falling concrete, how about Donny and Climber make a turn into a smaller passage, and the rubble cuts us off? Then they'd have a little adventure of their own, and they meey back up further on in the tower. That is, if you approve of Garuga's post.

[Joel]

Woah, what just happened? In any event, I can just use the stored energy from the grenades to blast a nice clean hole through the debris. If his post is approved, of course. I'll wait until I have your say.

[wolf_skinchanger]

Didn't you burn all that energy launching it back at the ones who tossed those grenades?

[aires163]

No he mentioned something about saving some of it for later.

[Joel]

"Kaegro began to absorb some of the energy from the blasts directly, but he continued reflecting most. He figured that he might need the extra power in the coming battles."

[wolf_skinchanger]

Okay; I concede. I was wrong in this particular instance, and will endeavor to be more thorough in my research in the future.

EDIT: However, I don't really see much need for blasting through the debris wall. Since we're still in a surface tunnel, the only way for enough concrete to fall into the tunnel to create an intact five-inch-thick wall is if it all fell in one piece; and since that one piece would have come from street level, the "wall" would in fact be an upward ramp leading to a large gaping hole in the ceiling. We can just walk right up the ramp and go down the next manhole, if we're determined to stick to the underground, or stay on the surface and take the overland route.

Either way, there's no need to expend your stored power.

[Vanbael]

As of right now that blockade is actually navigable, no way in hell a wall of rubble exactly 5 inches would fall and actually form a perfect barier. Hell, you can keep it if you like but there would be an outlet towards the surface opened up for the sheer amount of ground needed to create such a barrier in a tunnel the size of a vehicle. So as of right now, there's a mound of debris in the passage way. Now come on, I haven't even thrown a wizard at you yet, or even a puzzle.

[Poopenheimer]

So what, the mound of rubble can be walked right over or something?
