I Drink Blue Moon


Unfortunately, stabilizing doesn't grant someone consciousness. It just enables me to have the option of making death saving throws; now I can opt to wait for someone to use proper healing on me.

The reason it's optional, is I can still make the saving throws if I want. On a 20+, I spend a healing surge, go to 0 then regain surge HP, and regain consciousness. Otherwise, I must wait for an extended rest to regain hit points.

However, if I take damage for whatever reason, I unstabilize and need to be restabilized.

At this point, I don't think there's anything for me to lose by trying the saving throws, until I get 2 failures. Because if someone does any damage to me at 2 failures and stabilized, I'm just as likely to die as I am at 0 failures and stabilized. Coup-de-graces, and all.

Insight of 27 to gauge the honesty of Kuori's response of who shot first.


You cannot roll checks on other players. Well, I guess you can but they don't have to abide by your checks unless they want to. For example you cant roll an intimidate check on a fellow player to try force them to do something or roll a bluff check to lie to them. Skill checks are specifically for engaging with the environment and npcs.

Also, Revenge's wife is human, or at least was. It has been decided. Color scheme has been locked in as well. I need to know how long ago she disappeared and any other details about her character you think I should know as the dm.

Oh, I know they don't have to. It was in case Kuori rolled a Bluff. It was a time-saving roll, nothing more sweatdrop

I had... intended for Halima to be a fellow Tiefling (the same Egyptian naming convention I tend to use for my Tieflings). Halima means 'Gentle', whereas Naeem's (Revenge's first name) means 'Benevolent'. Naeem's 'family' name is even after an Egyptian deity (albeit the 'greek' name for it).

The whole naming convention was intended to be a mirror opposite of what the name 'Revenge' means, being symbolic of his transformation via his grief.

But okay!

hehe, alright. You didn't mention what her race was in your backstory so I sort of assumed she was human, as tieflings aren't that common. I couldn't ask you as that would ruined the surprise! I've had this planned ever since I saw his backstory. I'll see if the Waifu wants to update the picture with some horns and point the ears and maybe edit the colors a bit. If your ok with it though I'll keep it as is.

Well, you know my intent. I won't fight one way or another... I say we leave it in her hands, if she wants to update it or not.

Waifu said she will edit the drawing to make her a tiefling. She liked the fact you had reason behind her naming. You also need still need to tell me how long ago she vanished and any other details you might want me to include.

Oh! I missed this part.

Well, long enough for Naeem to become Revenge, train to become a Paladin, actually become a 1st level Paladin, and gain a few levels. A couple years, definitely.

I suspect there was a lot of depression and despair at first, as well as helplessness, so it wasn't an immediate progression. I'd say, all told... 4 to 5 years?

Halima's definitely booksmart, and also probably has some experience in commerce, like Naeem, but didn't quite embrace it like he did. Halima was one of those people who was always confident and never buckled under pressure though, someone who always kept a cool head through any situation. Though never for any evil means, Naeem was still kind of cutthroat as a merchant, because it really is an industry where the meek falter. Halima was a bit more compassionate than him though, and was generally liked by most. Naeem was the type who threw himself into his work, with a fiery passion. Halima basically took care of him, because of how little attention he paid towards his own needs. Y'know, the kind of spouse that would bring him dinner while he was pouring over the books, only to find him passed out and cover him with a blanket instead.

Hopefully that gives you insight into Halima's character, and what Revenge lost that made him turn so bitter and resentful.

EDIT: And apparently I started working on that when you posted the reminder. I must have just clicked reply when you posted that ^-^' Sorry again!

"I... know of him. He's the reason I call myself Revenge. That's all that matters now. Hold on a moment, there's something I need to do."


Totally going to have to roll a bluff check for that one.

Mm. It was meant to be symbolic, not a lie. If you'll permit me a re-write?

EDIT: Going to bed early'ish, but I still need to eat dinner first. I'll check back here before I turn in for a response, otherwise I'll just go ahead and rewrite it.

You can edit your post to clarify your point if you want. If you want to leave it as is without a bluff check Corsica will deduce that you are referring to yourself.

Then I'll leave it as is, hopefully with your blessing.
