There are some bottles, are they small enough to be useful for that as well? Not mentioned is the Seker's Collar which Raban has a claim on Other than that Raban will donate his share to help pay for making him some armor or other items as others had mentioned This should be posted to RP sections in a bit _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl From: J Hooten To: PBEM List References: <7.0.1.0.0.20090206002234.02ac2620@cybermax.net> In-Reply-To: <7.0.1.0.0.20090206002234.02ac2620@cybermax.net> X-XS4ALL-DNSBL-Checked: mxdrop158.xs4all.nl checked 71.74.56.122 against DNS blacklists Subject: Re: [pnpgm] Game Update #110b - File #621 - Party moves on.. It takes Raban some time to work out all the details but it seems to him some more outspoken people seem to be the greedy ones and not really in need of more money. So perhaps just giving what share he had to the group is not the best way. But meanwhile there were other things he needed to answer. Seeking out Unali, Raban says to her "Unali, I have given it much thought and you are right to a large extent. None of the ladies here needed much protection as they are all capable of defending themselves and more. Some, maybe all, could hurt me in a fight, though from what I have seen none could easily say they would win, not even yourself. But the odd magics you have make that a tough call and I could be far wrong. I do not like to hurt others but it far too easy for me to do so. I think it was possible for me to have killed any of the enemies we fought in a single blow even the metal man and that is not from much magical aid. But where I lacked is protection, I took more damage than any of the others, maybe more than a few combined. And a little Armor would have stopped much of that. I did not mind getting hurt as much of that was to prevent or minimize the damage to others. Even as well protected and as skilled as you are, or even the other ladies, you would not have wanted to be surrounded by so many opponents. In that I made a large difference and in a few other cases. So I feel I did do what I came for and even such formidable ladies as this group has can use some protection... But I could have done better than I did. And if I need to be in more battles like this one, then I will need to risk having better armor or weapons. I just hope I do not become the monster it makes me feel like to do that. So many see meas such a monster as it is, I would hate to prove them right..." "And I thank you for your concern about my safety, its an odd feeling having someone think they need to protect me. And I suppose if getting hurt is any indication, I needed some protection. Though I feel much of that was my Goddess reminding me of my failings, she also would prefer I do not fail in my duties. I assure you I can do far better than I have shown so far. I made a few poor decisions because I did not know what everyone could do or where they needed the help. Now I have a little better idea of that. But if your opponent gets lucky, then only the armor makes the biggest difference. I took many small wounds that could have been avoided, and that is something that can be fixed by better armor. I think I need to speak with Z'leyra about that. Thank you for helping teach me that not all women are helpless but like anyone else they may still need protecting. I think I will do better protecting some of the men too at need. Working with so many people requires broader thinking than I usually allow myself. And that may be why my Goddess guided me here, to broaden my views and learn something new. From now on I will be protecting friends and maybe they will do the same for me when needed." Eventually Raban gets a chance to talk with Z'leyra. "Z'leyra, it has taken me much labored thought and advice from others to decide I must risk having heavier armor. You had mentioned the possibility of making me some, and it would seem I need such help. Since the group seems intent on giving me such a large amount from the things found, I can give all that to you to offset the costs involved." "Something I have been working on myself has been making a stronger bow, but so far my skill is not up to the task. I may not be able to make such a bow from wood and I do not work with metals much. The only weapons I use much are my bow and fist. I am an expert in both of those and see little reason to use anything else. So those are another area I should seek magical improvements on if its possible. Are these things you have time to help me with?" _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl From: J Hooten To: PBEM List References: <7.0.1.0.0.20090206001706.02ac4eb0@cybermax.net> In-Reply-To: <7.0.1.0.0.20090206001706.02ac4eb0@cybermax.net> X-XS4ALL-DNSBL-Checked: mxdrop221.xs4all.nl checked 71.74.56.125 against DNS blacklists Subject: Re: [pnpgm] Game Update #110a - File #620 - Recap... Any system will balance out if the group stays together long enough. I have always been one fond of using the found treasures whenever possible. So claims with leftovers shared is fine with the player, hopefully no one is too greedy. Raban, unfortunately, is not greedy so will only claim something he can use. But in this world, that may work out just fine. I have heard rumors the GM uses Karma and other balances against you, so too much good stuff and it could hurt! ;) I will admit that is a rarity, a cosmic balance to offset such factors, allows playing a character like Raban without him being punished for it. Or at least I think I heard that... maybe it was a dream.. or a nightmare! _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@abroere.xs4all.nl http://abroere.xs4all.nl/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
