That does sound like something a smart and responsible Necrologist would say...

Not to discourage other player input here, Im speaking for myself, but am also drawing something of a line in the sand. As one of the most disruptive players in this game, I'm increasingly impressed with how easy it is to 'want' to spin their character in a particular manner that "makes sense". The problem is, while.plausible, the reactions that the player in the moment decides are one of 1000 actual options; its not inevitability, its impulsivity driving the actions.
Scenario 1 allows Rosey to reset and act the calculating pseudo-villain they seem to want to be.
Scenario 2 allows Rosey to indulge those fantasies strategically improperly and prematurely

I'm heavy-camping on GMs professed intent to 'let Posey have it just dont do the thing' here
As a GM, I HATE when players try to 'surprise' me with freak actions and shit. Im here for the shenanigens, but allow me to help YOU make it fun for everyone, while not disrupting all my hard work.

Reeee it wasn't a grenade! It was divine zigger magical arts! Though now that I think about it I probably could have popped a thunderstone for similar effect without inducing eardrum bleeding....

It would have the same effect, I wanna say my save roll was a 9?

The zeeb is trained in alchemy, and uses small alchemical weapons as ammo for his sling. I'm sure he can spare a few in the future.

Ugh,I'm doing it again, sorry.
Stealth killers rely on one or both types of stealth, auditory and visual.
Impairing the hearing of oppnents can be exploited with certain skill checks, enabling a crafty ninja to land almost all strikes as sneak attacks, which Brie has at a 3d6

But back to the tiara
Im seriously and deliberately trying to structure this in a particular manner.
The underlying theme of the scenario compromise that is being proposed is this:
Yes, Posey can have the tiara if she is going to be responsible with it, and we can consider what transpired as a flash image in Rosey's mind as she briefly contemplated putting on the crown but deciding better of the idea.

We should retcon Posey putting on the tiara and have the party deliberate over what to do with it. Silver could have an interest in giving it to Pear and her university for study. Posey who is ostensibly from another university could contest it.

I could give you Posey's eggshell grenades. They're more suitable for Ninja-like characters anyway.

Once I have blind fighting, he'll only need smoke bombs.
There was no other way unless we were supposed to take 2 feats at 1st level for some reason.
He took weapon focus:dagger, to open up Advanced dagger mastery, and then weapon finesse.
Advanced dagger mastery enables a character who is not a monk to do flurry of blows but only with dagger and dagger-like. It also grants quickdraw and a few other perks, but thats the main benefit. A little cheesy on its own, but more understandable since Brie has the 1 monk dip, which technically allows him to do that anyway EXCEPT when armored, which ADM would seem to not prohibit.

Okay, so Cavaliere votes retcon, Brie votes let it play, I think Posey is in favor of a retcon? We need fluffernoodle and Grenazebra.

pls don’t
>>181024
That’s just expressway not what the tiara is and the function it serves in the story. In the story, the tiara mind controls a griffin, causing him to be a danger to those around him. (I mean, more so). It’s a danger to self and others device.
>>181076
What would Posey say?
>>181079
Oh no, Posey explicitly stated “I’m going to wear this crown that I know has the effect of mind controlling people, giving them them extra powers, and making them hostile.” And everyone else was like “Nah, it’ll be fine.”
>>181080

Brie had one job: don’t explicitly give the friendly NPCs hosting the mission a reason to distrust you. Brie failed at this one job. So he didn’t get the goodies.

>What would Posey say?
Something along the lines of that, followed by "trust me, I'm a professional" as she vows to bring it back to the cursed items department at the university where it can be safely disposed of.
Or, that would have been the smart thing to say. Pic related
>and making them hostile
I thought there would be a saving throw to not be controlled by the item and to instead control it, but I guess I was patently wrong. You already saw my explanation.
>pls don’t
Rolling up and anthropomorphic (equipomorphic?) whale sea pony Bard character :3

One thing you and I as GMs have in common is an appreciation for cursed items, however I am more like GM (seemingly) in that I condition my players to NOT play with the obviously evil thing - at their own emphatic risk/consequence - without preventative measures in place, and ESPECIALLY don't let it out of your hands/sight, thats how you get eldritch-kaiju field mice.

I'm kind of falling in love with leviathans. I need to make them show up as monsters or background pieces or even as interactable NPCs/creatures.
>>181104
It's so pretty. The exquisite singularity and application of just one color invites an almost synesthetic depth, imbuing the piece with a warmth that transcends mere chromatic selection.

I can link you third some edition resources related to Leviathans if you want.
There's a leviathan in the MM2, which is basically a collosal whale. The MMII is not known for it's stellar monster editing, and I consider it's statblock to be a bit weaksauce for it's CR (no spells or ranged attacks), but the MMII leviathan is closest to the large whale you described. There's also also The Leviathan in Elder Evils (very good book), which is a titanic apocalyptic monster with am outline of a quest concerning it's awakening and containment; it also has less-apocalyptic-aspects that the party can fight. I believe there's also another version of Leviathans in dragon magazine that comes with its own article concerning its ecology.
There's also the anthropomorphic baleen whale race in an index of Savage Species. Anthropomorphic animals are somewhat poorly written, but the baleen whale is one that I have played before.
There are also many more leviathan-like collosal sea monsters in several other books that may fit your description, as well as several whale-like monsters (elsewhale, soarwhale, etc) and races. Several templates that can be applied to SRD monsters as well (aquatic template on a tarrasque, Kaiju template on a mundane whale, half-celestial/fiend/dragon whale, guardian monster, monstrous beast, etc).
I think there's a mention of Leviathans somewhere in Stormwrack, the book for aquatic/naval campaigns.
>>181105
Pretty. She shares Rosey Ring's color scheme.

>fluffernoodle
ur silly
I'd vote retcon, mostly because we weren't thinking straight and as a result our characters were decidedly out of character, and if we were thinking straight then things would have turned out much differently and this whole debacle wouldn't have occurred in the first place. I'd want Brie to get that moment of character development that his player wants, tho.

One of the main conditions for the CM trigger is "genuinely fearing for his life", which I intend that GM will see to. The rest is more or less established, and will be detailed when the time comes.

It's been a long time. When Amber got that invitation to Club Maurice, was it Dark Denizen or another pony that Dark Denizen sent? I haven't looked at it but I'm certain it was a bat pony and probably Dark Denizen.

Boiling the zigger results in zigger distillation. You will seperate him by the stripes into two beings.
