NO HOMO
This begins yet another edition of the Game thread, this time extra sweet 'cuz Norfilly won't stop being so damn cute.
The party has successfully felled the Terrasque, removed the head from the Nerd, watched as George Soros got his fool head blown off and was BTFO yet again (how WILL he live down the infamy?) and now ventures off to collect sticks, or build telescopes, or whatever it is they plan to do now that there's a new thread that isn't over 1.1k posts.
There is now an official bath-house, and characters seem quite taken by it both in spite of and to troll any detractors who would otherwise throw salt in our fun.
This is an ongoing RPG thread geared toward D&D-esque adventuring, shitposting, funposting, bantz, shitposting, funposting, and murder.
Feel free to join! The bathwater (and blood) is nice.

>>20134Protip: abandon intuition.
>>20135Then abandon your goddamn flow charts and old plans
Curious, are these discussions of Druids, taking the Capital, etc. being discussed IN character? Not opposed, but there has been some in and out of character comments that leave me wondering.
>MFW I won't be around to participate in or see where this goes
>>20140And the group will get together and work towards a/that plot, I will require it (through obstacle and context). However, a little bit of side-questing might also be in order, both to contribute to group cohesion and to allow characters to develop a tad further. Several players have expressed a desire to develop/change the course of their characters, and while I could easily <poof> "IT IS SO", I'm growing increasingly disdainful of that sort of practice. For example, the only character currently available who can teach Infernius Two Weapon Fighting is Thez, which means he'll have to spend a few sessions getting beat up. ^_^
Now that the map has been finalized, I have more room to develop shit in. The artifacts ON the map are not the ONLY places or things of concern, that's just the baseline that is being used. The Capital is far to the north of Cardashil, and there are several nation-states to interact with before arriving there, and that's without diverting toward Sparintar or Krenshall-blur-blur-blur.
>>20156Why do posts keep switching order?
Thank you for that
I have IRL problems that are getting to me.
Oh well, back to the plans I made four weeks ago before the Soros battle
>>20156They are in order, as best as I can tell
RESURRECTING KORAK. That's what I should do!
Trump's faggot, Y U make me type all that out if U just delet it?!
>>20163I was thinking about that. The problem is that GM won't let me have that power. Maybe Inferius does, since his clerical domains were never firmly established.
>>20164I saved it all in screenshot and word document
>>20162We apparently can't use the army we've been building for a month, so we need to go someplace that is a path of least resistance. Port Barry has got to be trading with
someone, so hopefully they would let us through the front door. Korak knows the sea well, although he did suggest he couldn't be of much help in pointing out good port towns, so maybe it's not as good of an idea as I thought.
I'm thinking maybe we should just Leroy Jenkins the capital anyways
GM, do I get bonuses if my homemade die has been cured with some of my blood?
>>20163That would work now that his hat is off to you.
Ha!>>20166Infernius and Torcuil both can use Geas. And who said you can't use the army you've been building for a month? As far as trade is concerned, its slowly picking back up and is about to take off, but the city is largely self-sufficient.
>>20169:O
>>20220Did I miss something?
>>20221Yeah, like ~20 posts got deleted, raving about the moral relevance of abortion. Better it not be brought up again though.
Are side quests still on the table though?
Did the the people of Port Barry ever actually get a clear shot of Tracy in her nightmare form? I've been semi-depending on Tracy's smoke granting total concealment against creatures more then 10 feet away (I imagined that last attack would've looked like a lightning bolt shooting out of a dark cloud), but now I'm not so sure about it... This could impact how my assassination projects work in the future...
Also, what class is Lenos? I guessed Loremaster, but idk.
>>20223I hope
>>20221Yeah, saw blades hurt. But at least I'm fine now
>>20224Haha, I ain't doing it
>>20225When you attacked Soros you were in nightmare form, and this would have been witnessed by Sechs and the entire Port Barry Army
>>20227Yeah, but the smoke cloud should've obscured her form at 10 or more feet.
I just want to know just how much of her they actually saw.
>>20229Well, the golden lady and the party saw you at more than 10 feet, and you were charging for part of it, so you likely outran your cloud at some point. The archers of the Port Barty militia were mentioned as being "in a ring," which suggests that they were in the seating area facing the field. So there would have been 20 people in the seating area in a sort of ring surrounding the scene from every angle. The seating areas are literally designed to allow for the best view of action in the field possible.
My guess is that between the 20 of them they saw enough to look into their magic creature books and say, "that thing was probably a nightmare." And if they don't have magical creature books, I'm sure at least one of the thousand people they tell the story of the Golden Lady and Soros's return would have thought to look up similar creatures in their magical creature book.
\r
The party would've known who she was so that doesn't really matter, and I figured the Golden Lady had some kind of omniscient recognition of her. I just want to know how much they were able to actually make out through a 15-foot cloud.
Either way, I'll wait for GM's clarification before I complete this section of the chart.
>>20232The Book of Magic Creatures has a lot of pictures
>>20233My isp changed my ip, could you gibe flag?
>>20232Also this.
>>20233It's highly unlikely that the average person would have a book illustrating the local wildlife of Shadowfell, but I guess I see your point.
>>20235Almost the first thing we did was build a Library in the town and transferred some books. And this is definitely the kind of story that is repeated. I don't think you can expect to be lucky every time
>>20237Same time as the stadium. Because Tourcil likes books
>>20238Could you post make port barry great again 1&2? so i can get a refresher on all the cool shit we built.
>>20240You did that all in three weeks?
>>20226Yeah, I really do want to go on a journey to find some hippies.
>>20241I was surprised too. The first set happens between the time the treasure is obtained and the Second Soros fight, while the second part happens between the second Soros fight and Korak. GM said it's more or less complete in full by now
>>20242Just be available when we assault the Court City. I guess I have a unicorn to court, a city to rile, some seige engines and ships to commission, and some of Korak's men to revive
\r
>>20238>I had personally forgot about the libraryWhat do we want Torc's squad to make?
Morters? Trebuchets? Ballistias?
>>20246>mortars, ballistas, or trebuchetsYes
I'll do some magic to secure funding for the base materials, while you recruit nerds
>>20246Id say a good mix all available siege weapons. Can you get your guys to research cannons for ship battles?
>>20246What about arcane research? You could lead a term of mage scientists/mages to discover spells and techniques to empower other factions.
>>20249Also, alchemy research sounds suitable for librarians too.
