Question: what's the carry limit for a Bone Lurker? Can it carry all of us, including the NPCs, as well as the explosive and machine gun(s) from the crashed plane?

Flying is pretty important to my plan. We'll see what GM pone thinks. Even if it isn't considered quadrupedal, maybe we can save enough weight through the flying members of the group.

Oh, okay. While I wait on GM for an answer, I have another couple questions. Is there a limit to how far the Bone Lurker can go from you while still remaining under your control? Like, if you commanded it to do something on the other end of the island, would it still be controlled? A related question to that: do you have to give it commands directly face-to-face, or can you give it commands from a distance through a telepathic-like mind link?

For a 30 strength, it appears no less than 1600 for a maximum load, depending on how GM wanted to have encumbrance affect the creature's flying ability. So, while it will be unlikely to cary many/most while carrying the torpedo and the guns, after they've been expended we can probably carry most who can't already fly

Well it's good that it's Huge then, cuz thats a x4 modifier to all carrying capacities. Assuming 30str to be 500lbs, that puts it right back at 1500lbs

I should probably make this with only 8 HD (62 HP). That way I could afford to have a second smaller large-sized one without Day Low Rain being unexpectedly attacked by her sister (I know Posey wouldn't care about a zigger's safety, but I want to eventually reanimate her at her full power so I don't want her corpse to be destroyed). Having a second, non-advanced lurker would help defend Posey while the Huge one focuses on destroying the Traveller's summons.

It would burn up the last of my scroll though. No more necromancy for me until I get to that level... Oh well, any wise Necromancer knows that sacrifices must be made to reach one's true potential.

If it is flying it doesn’t have the carrying capacity of a quadruped. Anything that flies is limited in carrying capacity relative to the same thing in water or on land.

>plan
Whatever do you mean? What "plan" is there to be derived?
In a logistical sense, it makes sense to split the party to try and maximize the available time. But that assumes you're dealing with a self-perpetuating reality as the interface; you aren't. Without assuming to speak for anyone, if I was GM I would not tolerate a splitting of the party. I would wait until the party figured out that this is a group effort.

We're set on the plan to go to the whale bones, right? It's just ten minutes away. Let's just go together to avoid complicating things.
We can discuss the ethics of necromancy later. You guys all know ooc that a mindless bone lurker has no will of its own and has no chance of turning on its master (unless another necromancer casts Command Undead to steal it, or a Cleric twice their level rebukes and commands it). It's also immune to mind affecting attacks, so it cannot be enthralled by the Traveller, unless the Traveller is also proficient in necromancy (which I doubt, because it is apparently unfamiliar with the concept of death).

We've made every possible charisma check and dialogue negotiation with Blackheel. A lot of which is probably unnecessary. Blackheel has every reason to distrust us, but he's also in no situation to refuse. The GRU is not responding to him, so he has no real avenue to sabotage our raid of the Kostroma. As a commissar, he should have enough experience to make a logical decision that raiding alongside us would minimize casualties in his crew. If we leave and bring back the bone lurker, Blackheel will have already made his decision: either to join us in our raid, or to attempt to stop us (in which case, I think we could defeat him).

I can't imagine that the Leviathan group will need either of the satchel charges, nor do I recall who physically has them, but they were expressly intended for the airship if we are unable to get it running.

Mine too, I want to get paid, but I was under the impression that we agreed to destroy the Traveller first.

Yeah, this complicates things....
Maybe we should focus on the airponies first.

I might be wrong on this and end up getting fact checks, but I think there's some confusion on the matter. As I recall, GM pone never said anything about us running out of time if we take on the objectives one at a time. I think everyone is conflating that with the statement he did make that if we go after the Traveler before rescuing the airponies, it will result in anywhere from a partial to a total failure of the primary mission.

I just wanna ask, since Posey is talking about Dagon >>188878 , does that mean that Lovercraft mythos are canon in this campaign?
It's not a problem or anything, it just wasn't my impression that this was the lore GM had for his world but I don't know so I just want to have it clear up.

Also, I would like to know the extent of how much we're going Lovecraft in this world if that's the case. Is it just for flavor in regards to Posey's character or did Azathoth spawn this world?

It also struck me that I kinda like Azathoth. Every other higher being in that mythos are always such douches to humanity but Azathoth they fear. So you can't help but root for him. Kinda you're enemy's enemy is your friend and Samson, I take you with me before I die, kinda of thing also temple of Dagon. <-- I experience synchronicity like this, a lot.

This needs to be said. There's a big difference between what a player declares to have done and what GM accepts the player as having done. Ask me how I know.
So with respect, unless GM acknowledges or affirms what (you) have posted, unless ratified/accepted by GM, I have no way of knowing whether the action is even accepted.
So while Kira wants to get all angry-face at Brie, she should check with GM to see if it even happened.
And hey, if she was leading the fucking way, we wouldn't be at this impasse would we?

Posey is talking about obscure occultism that she has personally studied, and it does not necessarily have any bearing on the setting, just Posey's beliefs.

For the record, I was referencing the D&D version of Dagon:
the Obyrith lord.

Dude, you know as well as I do that called shots are not a thing in D&D: you cannot just say "I shoot him in the head".
Dusty has more hitpoints than you: you cannot kill him in one shot, even with your sneak attack, but the rest of us can kill you in one round (particularly Silver or I). The thing you are planning is foolish.
It's also homosexual to hold a PC hostage when their player is not present.

Oh wait, I was mistaken. You only need to be non-evil to spontaneously channel sanctified spells as a Cleric. So Dust should be able to do this, so long as he still has a lvl 3 slot.

Your posts go ignored because they're ridiculous and often don't make any sense; and they come in the context of all off the tangential ooc posts, posts you immediately delete, and fourth wall breaking you do in the roleplay thread: you are not taken serious because your posts aren't serious 4/5 times.

You have done everything in your power to upset this game. First by being a liar and an 'innocuous new player uwu', then by deciding you were in a position to fuck whoever-whenever cuz its YOU, and finally by daring to take an "I'm a good boi" stance. What's next?

Agree to disagree. The only character Brie can't one-shot is Posey, with an honorable mention to Kira cuz it technically takes more than one round. And that's cuz you don't like rules, not because he's incapable.

We're gonna rehash this? Okay.
1. No. This started when you decided that your first move was to co-opt how I played my character with your bullshit charm shit. We'll get to that part.
Yes, this began when you decided you could try to force me or my player to play any which way but how I wanted. It didn't matter the 'effect', all I heard - as a player - was "You're gonna play how I decide, cuz I have all these fancy rules saying you have to."
>putting words in my mouth
Oh, cuz you haven't expressly stated it? Cuz you haven't "OOC" made very specific reference to how Posey with her "dreads" and all could wipe the remainder of the party in a 1v1? Get FUCKED.
>based on reactiond of GM and the party
Both GM and the party can be observed to operate off inconceivable motivating factors. While I acknowledge your ability to get GM to respond to your bullshit, I am learning. Maybe one day, but how you do it seems a compromise of integrity

It would be interesting if you tried given how he's spec'd. You'd probably win, depending on how generous GM was feeling toward (you). It might make for an interesting exhibition, I'm not opposed.

Meanwhile, all MY opposition has been toward the laxidaisical attitude that has been directed toward this game. I'd LIKE to criticize GM for it, but if you look back there's a glaring lack of participation from 'some'
