This session promises to be,... I was gonna say out of the ordinary, but that's ordinary for this continuing Game. Blah blah, this is an RPG thread, blah blah, new players welcome.
Lets get to it.
781 replies and 39 files omitted.
>>14517It will take several trips. This can be cut-to if the party prefers
>>14518But quality. I did mention quality,....
>>14510A real Cauchemar could probably drag more than 5,000 pounds

>>14522Fukking kek. It'll happen.
>>14523Nope, the dust around the room is quite conclusive; this spot has been barren for several weeks now.
>>14524Ah hell, Just try to count it as it is moved
>>14523She could probably at least turn into a heavy warhorse at will with a Control Shape check.
>tfw part of you is amused and part of you is tearingly-awestruck
"B,,, Baka">>14525Can do. Objections?
>>14528Count as loaded onto warhorse Tracy and moved into the treasury
Does it matter how much? Just keep bringing it in cartloads and let the townsfolks count it there.
>>14530Best idea. So is it moved?
>>14530It's for a different reason. We'll keep it in the tower treasury for the time being, and move it or distribute it later
>>14531Sure, move it.
Infernius, look up your spells and see what fancy magic tricks you could do to impress the people upon returning the Jew-gold.
>>14532Why?
>>14533If you move it in the town right now the pirates could steal it, the mage could appear at the game and we could need the tribute, and all sorts of contingencies that make it wiser to keep it until we know its fate
Ahhh fug it.
As the party begins ascend the tower with the last bit of jew gold, they suddenly realize that the tower - its shining surfaces glistening in the departing sunlight (its getting toward sunset) - are dotted with dots. Not dots, but people. Pirates specifically, all standing menacingly and with a sneer. Its almost as though an uppity dwarf coached them on how to appear, so perfect is their stance. At the entrance to the tower stands Korak, both hands atop the hilt of his sword, standing as regally as he can (and with his affects, is pretty regal).
"Ah greatly appreciate the contributions ye've made toward mine cause." He chuckles, which is joined by the pirates.
The pirates have bows and swords, while Korak stands motionless (horizontal, cuz of the gravity affect, but still oriented to be looking down on everyone from a great height).
>>14536I did indicate that Tracy heard a cough before she entered the treasure lair,... she neglected to follow up
>>14537So are they on the surface? How are they addressing the party?
>>14538Ah, well "Come again" is directed at Korak for "mine cause"
But we need Tourcil
[1d20 = 12]>>14535*removes self from cart and stands forth growling menacingly, rage beginning to boil as she transforms*
roll for intimidation, and add +2 for ranks in bluff
how far away are they?
>>14538Fucking knew it.
Wtf did Lenos let them in?
>>14540Cry out "INFERIUS! TOURCIL!"
Enter the tower
>>14539They're along the surface of the tower
>>14541Good question (and pali), but will be addressed
K> With all the loot ye lot have brought up, I'm almost inclined to let all the previous injuries and offenses slide. Almost" again, more pirate chuckling.
He raises his hand, and many (not all) pirates raise their bows.
"So then Mr. Trump, how's about we make a deal."
>>14542Oh its far too late for that, this happens as the party is still on the ground.
Vanish like a fucking ghost
Enter tower
>>14543"Does that deal involve the people of Port Barry taking back the money that belongs to them?"
CALL MOUNT
How far away is the first pirate?
>>14546Fae skids to the ground aside Trump.
"I see you're in a bind. As you command."
K> Why involve the townsfolk? They live in a happy little bubble, where the real world doesn't infringe on their prosperity! How am I, who are YOU to take that away?
>>14547The first is about 90' from the bottom tip of the tower
Draws knife with maw ready to reappear as soon as she knows how much distance she has to-
>>14549Is it a clear charge? How many behind him?
>>14548Get on Fae, and ride out of sight from Korak underneath the tower, try to go to other side of tower
WHERE ARE INFERIUS AND TOURCIL
>>14548what you do here! should you be blowing your first mate?
>>14550They're spaced strategically and sporadically, requiring distance to engage and then re-engage.
>>14551K> Ah, me monologue. Always wasted. Boys, do your thing.
The remaining pirates arm themselves with bows. Those with bows drawn center on the party. With Trump and Tracy's departure there's only 2 targets.
K> Don't fire unless ye can be sure of the shot. No sense wasting good munitions!
>>14555 Are they all on one side? Come up from behind on an archer and attack, one by one. Can Fae claw people off of their footing so they fall 90 feet?
>>14555So, I can't cleave?
stay ethereal and fly up into the tower
>>14555i whisper
kek at them
>>14558Cast a fucking spell
>>14559TOURCIL! KILL KORAK!
>>14560that is the choatic word of power
>>14559Better cast a spell fast
*Tracy covers her spooky armor with Magic Vestment +5*
>>14553>>14554K> Cute, a minotaur is insulting me. Do u liek ponees?
He says mockingly.
>>14557Tracy closes in ethereal
>>14558Out of range, I'll let you mulligan that one
>>14559You're just in time! Korak stands at the tower entrance, while his pirates dot the surface of the tower.
[3d20 = 37]
The attack is, appear from behind an archer, have Fae attack with claws if possible, and then with Quick Draw, Fuck you, fuck you, and fuck you, on the archer with Vanderium
Can Tracy zone in on an area where she can plow through a bunch of targets at once?
[6d20 = 61]>>14565Trump takes initiative on Fae, closing distance to the nearest pirate>
GM, how clustered are the pirates?
Do
>>14565 when near pirate
>>14535Good thing Torc is in the tower
>>14569Indeed
>>14568They aren't, they're deliberately spaced.
>>14566Nope, they thought of that.
>>14566Please let me bulldoze some faggots with my new feats...
>>14561Ironic
Torc runs out of the tower
"Oi! Ye bloody wankstain, over here"
>>14571And I wanted to weaken them with Dragonne Roar, but here we are
Trump has first move, which he's in range to attack the first pirate.
The order is Trump, Tracy, Tocuil, Infernius, Pirates, Korak
Tracy continues to move while ethereal until she is right beside Korak
[3d20 = 27]>>14575Fuck You Fuck You and Fuck you with Vanderium. Fae should have pounce. can she bite or claw?
[1d6 = 6]>>14577In Trump's advance, a single arrow strikes him from one of the pirates
>>14576Or at least in the same room
[1d20 = 1]>>14578She does, but Vandereim is beefier and doesn't involve a loss of momentum
>implying someone who follows a chaos god would wait his turn
I cast spell
Oooh. That sucks. Vandereim slips from Trump's hands as he levels what would have been a devastating attack
>>14582Noted. Keep her mobile. Tell me if there are ever more than 5 pirates within the 120 foot zone
I have no idea what the spread of the enemies is, or the layout of the tower.. I'm confused as fuck...
She moves between stealth and ether until she finds a tight cluster of pirates she can charge.
>>14584Inferius, please
>>14583what spell
>>14587They anticipated Dragonne Roar and Cauchemar charges. They are spread out evenly across the surface with ranged weapons. Like soldiers advancing against an enemy in a spread to reduce casualties from artillery
>>14590I noticed that, but what does the spell do?
>>14591Go straight to where she heard Korak, stealth AND ether
>>14593they get diagnosed with death m9
>>14594Fug.. my brain really is melted tonight...
>>14587They're deliberately spaced to avoid clustering
>>14591More like they anticipated fireballs n such
>>14597Go to where Korak is.
>>14593https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=mQD2w4HU3jwOmae wa mou shindeiru didn't work
So i went intellectual
Nightmares can change planes with 20th caster level as a free action: can Tracy do so during a charge?
[3d20 = 21]If it is my turn now after the Pirates and Korak, then my move is quick draw on the weapon smasher, and Smash, Smash, Smash, on the guy's long bow
>>14600>20th Caster level
>>14601>Astral Projection and Etherealness (Su): These abilities function just like the spells of the same names (caster level 20th); a nightmare can use either at will.
>>14588Kek. Vandereim falls spinning to the ground shouting "You limey bastaaaaaaaaaaaaard"
Tracy closes in on Korak's position (ethereal)
>>14599And you wonder why? You can't just meme people dead
>>14601You just moved and lost ur sword!
>>14603I mean my move in the next round
Its Torcuil's move, who is entirely unnoticed by the pirates. Particularly, he can close range with Korak directly.
>>14603Ugh fine.
Torc grows his dagger to 4'
>>14605Tracy closes in on Koraks location.
brb in like 5 mins i use my turn to catch vanderheim and cast insect plauge.
I think it's Pirate's turn then Korak's turn now?
>>14607Is she near him yet?
>>14610The order is Trump, Tracy, Tocuil, Infernius, Pirates, Korak, so your next round will be after the pirates. Korak is an asshole but there are a hell of a lot of archers, they are difficult to kill at present spacing, and sitting here as an arrow sponge with no lethal weapon while Korak has two people on him is not pleasant or an efficient allocation of limited resources
>>14611What did she do this round?
>>14606Torc tells Korak to cease his faggotry
>>14612I'm not sure, but GM advanced, so it must have been something. My guess is got closer to Korak
GM,
From Trumpaladin's position, how many rounds is it to the next pirate, and how many rounds is it to Vanderiem?
>>14608No worries, I just had to help move a couch for individuals who lack the foresight to say "Hey, could we get your help moving a couch? You're not doing anything RIGHT FUCKING NOW are you?"
>>14612Closed on Korak
>>14613Rly? Thats ur move?
>>14616Torc is now holding a full sized claymore, so yes
One of the pirates drops dead from a brain aneurism cuz GM is salty
>>14617So Torcuil, full-sword bradished,... talks shit. Korak is unimpressed. Infernius?
>>14619i think torc was saying he attacked...
>>14618The first and so far only Pirate to be harmed tonight!
GM, I have three questions - After the longbowman before trump
How far away in terms of Rounds is the nearest archer
How far away is Vanderiem?
How far away is Korak?
[2d20 = 18]>>14622Not an attack (Molyneux meme anyone?)
Korak lets go of his sword (which dangles from his wrist from a chain) and whips out his pistols.
"Talk to me hands," he says, firing at Torcuil.
>>14619with my move action i catch vanderheim then i cast plauge of locusts.
https://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Insect_Plague
>>14624Torc uses the braces
[1d20 = 2]>>146231. about 1 round distance per.
2. On the ground (about 100 yards ish)
3. Toward the top, so ~60 yards
>>14625K
[4d20 = 42]>>14603>>14616Oh, I see (sorry)
Tracy stealthily observes Korak and stalks until she's just a good 10 ft away from him (or however much distance she thinks she would need for the attack)
Then she lunges out of the phantasms (sneak attack?) and charges him, with a Full Attack (can do upon charge because of Dire Charge)
A full attack should be
2 flaming hooves
1 slash from a shortblade
Since the chain moves with her mind, attack with that too.
With improved Multiattack, she take no d
[3d20 = 37]My Turn!
Quick draw on my weapons smasher. Three attacks with weapon smasher on the Longbow of the archer who is immediately before Trumpaladin
Dialogue to archer: "you're lucky my sword slipped. After you boss is dead, you may still be employed"
>>14628reeee wait your turn
>>14628take no penalty from several natural weapons*
>>14627How many yards per turn?
>>14629>20Alas poor longbow, we hardly knew ye
>>14631For most, 10'/round at a walking pace. Elevated paces uncur penalties to incoming attack, but are available at 3x speed (on intial run).
>>14628Gotcha, in a sec.
Infernius misses Vandereim, and has the chance to pursue or engage. Decide quickly. ^_^
>>14633i go after vanderheim.
>>14633Mounted on Fae?
>>14634Yeah you're fine, I'm just salty because I am now shot and without a lethal weapon
I have Infernius casting insect swarm. Is that still go, or is he diverting?
>>14628>tfw dead if this doesn't hit something
>>14638Uh, so,... which one?
>>14626After using the shield Torc strikes at Korak.
Also, when do the British police attack us for weapons?
Do only butterknifes and sticks count?
>>14628Cone of Smoke is automatic, right?
[12d20 = 138]>>14642K. Infernius (on Uatchit, cuz otherwise its freefall) speeds after and catches Vandereim.
Since Torcuil hasn't shown himself, Korak fires both shots at Trump, one of which lands (the 7).
The pirates unleash a volley of arrows at the party.
>>14640It could be worse. You could be shot, without a lethal weapon, with no ability to do pinkie pie dimension breaking, all while being the prime target of like 30 archers
>>14643They can bin Tracy's knives when they pry them from her cold, dead hooves.
>>14645..W-what about my sneak-charge?
[3d8 = 17]
Three shots hit, one to Trump, and two to Infernius.
>>14645My move:
Get the fuck out of the line of sight. I came from beyond line of sight, I can go back to it quikly
>>14649"Inferius! Come with me!"
>>14647Tracy is next after Trump, who's move it is
>>14649That takes you off the tower. U can do that tho.
>>14651"New Strategy Inferius! Join me on Uta... your mount
>>14652If it means I am out of the line of the bullets and arrows then yes
>>14653i will my next move
>>14653K, Trump retreats to below the tower.
Tracy's move.
>>14655GM, where on the Tower is Korak?
>>14657You actually made that one last round. This is a new round and you can make a new attack
I would add that I want to add poison to that kunai, if possible.
>>14660Korak? Evidently not, since he shot me and Inferius at the end of last round
>>14645Who did the arrows hit if anyone?
>>14661He got charged with both hooves, by a 1,200 pound animal, that slashed with a poison kunai and a chain, filling the room with smoke, and he didn't flinch, you say?
>>14659A little late. Going with
>>14628The chain catches on something. As for the other attacks.
K> Bees
Deftly and with fluidity, Korak taps the tip of each weapon as they are bared (with his sword), diverting their course and rendering them harmless.
>>14665Forgot he had that
>>146622 hit Infernius, 1 hit Trump
>>14663Didn't flinch confirmed. Its almost like he expected a great flurry of attack. Cuz you know, he's done this before.
>>14665How does Torc's attack go?
>>14665All three weapons? Even with Concealment from the smoke?
Wait what just happened?
Torcuil's move
You really shouldn't announce yourself when you have cover and stealth
[1d20 = 15]
Wait, Torcuil is attacking? Rly? Okayyyyy,....
Tracy
>>14670>announce yourselfWait, when?
>>14671As Torcuil levels his blade for what must SURELY be a square strike, Korak dips and twists his blade, tapping the claymore wide and leaving Torcuil open.
He's thought of that,....
>>14672Tourcil had an advantage of not being noticed by Korak, but then he did things like yell "cease your faggotry"
[12d20 = 121]
The pirates unleash another volley.
>>14676Inferius said his turn would be moving to Trump's position on Uatachit carrying Vaderium
>>14677Inferius and Trumpaladin should be out of line of sight
[3d8 = 16]
One pirate manages to shoot himself, while 2 score hits, one of which is a crit.
>>14673>waits for gm to tell how my attacks went>he ignores it until I think of a new one>by the time I post a new one, I get the last one usedFuck
You
>>14677Alright! Our second enemy casualty for the night!
>>14665If both her hoofs were diverted, and Tracy was charging at full speed, where did
Tracy go?
>>14683My guess is right into the line of fire
>>14684She was charging right towards Korak though, within 2-3 feet of him.
She's as big as a Clydesdale: something had to have happened.
>>14681I'm doing my best. From this point on I'll disregard the previous and focus on recent/immediate activity. Thats the best I can do.
>>14685Spoilers, Korak has improved evasion (no penalty to surprise attacks) so her surprise missed.
Tl:dr The party is fighting another player, not some random monster.
Torcuil's move
>>14686I understand, but....
You know what, I'm just salty, fuck me
If her attacks were diverted, but she's still charging full speed, can she follow up thatcharge with a bull rush and push him against a wall with her chest (has improved bull rush)
Oh yeah, it's my turn!
Take the sword from Inferius, who hopefully is near enough, and start flying up a side of the tower that is definitely not the side all of the archers and Korak are on.
(I want dialog to inferius when he is here)
>>14688Wait I thought I was just after the Pirates?
>>14693An animal so large as to be damned difficult to stop at full charge, is going to be damned difficult to stop and turn around at full charge
>>14688Where is he standing on the tower?
[1d20 = 11]>>14694DC 17
no bully, he's a salty rogue
Unfortunately, Korak dodges the first (I'm assuming) anvil.
>>14697DC 17?
>>14699REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>14699GM, how many rounds to fly around the otherside of the Tower and attack from round the top?
>>14700i bring vanderheim to trump. and then cast insect plauge if i can.
>>14700If I can ask Inferius
"Follow me, and let's attack Korak from 'round top!"
>>14701dc 17 means you needed to roll a 17 to get it.
>>14704lets go stomp a mudhole in his ass!!!
GM, where is Korak on this tower?
>>14708Uh... can we get like a drawing or something?
>>14702On Fae? 2
>>14703Next
>>14704Possible interjection
>>14708>GM goes back to his shoop
The pirates are liberally and equidistantly spaced across the surface,... almost like Korak has an idea of how the tower works and knows a bit about its layout, etc.
Across all surfaces? Is Korak on a single surface?
[2d20 = 3]
Korak fires another 2 rounds, this time at Tracy (who is close range).
[12d20 = 91]>>14713All surfaces have gravity, I told you that long ago.
And Korak misses wildly. His pirates unleash another volley of arrows.
>>14715.. Unless I have no idea how this game works..
>>14716GM, are the archers evenly spaced across all surfaces?
