This thread begins the next leg of the game, where GM (likely unsuccessfully) teaches of the wonders of rare-meat. Yes, I know Trump IRL likes his steak well-done, and to me that alone is evidence of controlled opposition. I still support the man, but dammit. Rare meat is the finest you can ever taste, satisfying immediate/basic hunger needs better than well meat, but also satisfying more primal urges and evolution. Remember, meat is only unsanitary if it is old or processed through a slaughter-house with poor quality control.
Enough about meat, lets get back to the game. Infernius is attempting to Leeroy Jenkins at the orcs, except that he has to climb a rope ladder to do so (cloven hooves = slower climbing). Tracy mulls about a very closed for business city that has cannons on the south-face, not yet realizing that unless she wants to go Nightmare (and thus ethereal but also glowing-in-the-dark) she's SOL.

Did anything happen while I was out cold?
>>23651ITT? Not much. Trump had a successful heart to heart with Slovenia, who is eager to put her abilities and talents to work on behalf of the party and the port. Some bants went this way and that, some feels were had/exchanged, and everyone (Tracy included) had a good (and not stressful) time.
By the way,... are we going to hear from Norfilly and Taylor anytime soon? I'm starting to worry.
>>23652I'm sure they'll show up Saturday.
>>23653This weekend tends to be very taxing/demanding (time, effort, stress, etc.), so no fault if they don't. I'm just emphasizing that they are not forgotten.
Nor is Sad Alex, or Yak Lee for that matter.
Would Lenos be willing to teach Tracy how to set traps?
Also, if Tracy acquired Aura of Despair through Blackguard levels, would that mess-up her stealth?
>>23654I say, for the sake of comfort and casual player accommodations characters should have a default/grinding modes during the week, instead of just freezing like zombies:
>Whenever Queen Taylor can't show, assume it's because she's busy having awesome concerts and spreading her fame.>Norfilly is still collecting sticks and discovering fascism through it., and makes everyone very happy just by being alive.>Sad Alex goes in and out of petrification as his mood swings, but he manages to strike a different Jojo pose every time; he's getting pretty good at it.>Trumpaladin tweets on his phone whenever he can despite the lack of electricity/internet, but has faith that his tweets will reach other universes and have influence over destiny.>Torquil studies his meme tombs and draws rare Pepes and the like in his books for future use.>Infernius prays to his lord aand rereads Mein Kampf every week, so that he doesn't forget how to read; after that, he works on the Confederate Monuments around Port Barry.>Thez hauls ass at her Fight Club, visiting daily to remind them that they're all her bitches.>Tracy sharpens her various knives, practices her stabbing, and imagines what it will be like to be a motherPlayers could set their own default modes too, or put basic, simple tasks, like crafting, on the backburner between weekend sessions.
Thoughts?
pic unrelated >>23651Tracy was raped in her sleep, see
>>23648>>23656I think she'd be detectable through the detect evil spell, although it would take a couple rounds, and they'd only know her direction, but not her precise location. I'm not sure, but I think that spell might only be used by good slighted clerics and Paladins, which you are hopefully unlikely to have hunting you.
Another question: can buff spells of the same type stack? i.e If two spellcasters cast Bull's Strength on the same creature, does it get +8 Str?
>>23658>detect evil spellDoesn't that work on other evil creatures too?
With the Fiendish template, Tracy already counts as an Evil Outsider with fairly high hit dice, so that's already a strong aura.. I'm not sure how to calculate it though.
>>23660She only counts as a fiendish outsider with fairly high hit dice in cauchemar form, which is already a pretty clearly unsubtle form. Otherwise, I think her only issue when not transformed is the 3 or 4 levels in Blackguard.
But really, what sort of enemies are you worried about casting Detect Evil?
>>23661Holy hell Thats the best class ever
>>23662Cauchemar isn't fiendish. Fiendish is a template applied to normal animals. I thought it was stated that she became fiendish after transforming for the first time, with the horns and all.
>>23664Uh... Let's say she was cured of her fiendishness or something through the Golden Lady's order or sufficient application of Paladin semen
>>23655Firetrap is a magical spell, he's not using physical traps.
>>23656Yes and no. She would be sensed but not seen.
>>23657Hmm, you pretty much nailed everyone.
>>23659Nope
>>23669Ah, I see.
Is setting traps a skill rogues normally have, or is that limited to just disarming them? A snare-trap is simple enough to make, but idk how to set them tactically.
>>23671I specifically set up
>>23648 so that way she'd wake up with an arm over her.
*sleeping and spooning Paladin noises*
>>23670Traps are devices. They consist of a trigger, a reset, and a function. Anyone can make them but only rogues can make or disarm traps higher than DC 15
>>23665The first part didn't happen though.
Also, what about the lingering spines in her mane?
>>23675She banished outsiders. It had consequences. The spikes were removed sort of surgically
>>23675Meh, they're gone. They fell out like rotten teeth, cuz you didn't like 'em and I completely forgot
>>23677Fine by me (I was going to say she clipped them daily as part of her morning routine).
Just for the sake of my haphazard character sheet in the making, does she have the fiendish sub-type or not?
>>23679Not by default, its a gained trait through partial or full transformation.
>>23680So, only while she's a warhorse?
Just want to note that Slovenia is absolutely adorable. I think she could compete with Nordfilly for mascot
\r
>>23684REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENorfilly is best mascot though.
"Morning! I'm gonna go kill something!" Thez beams after a long night's (5 hour) sleep.
>>23686What'd she do with Kefka's wings, btw?
>>23687She's about to test them. She could have had them made into Wings of Flying,... but that would have taken too much time and effort. Instead, she stitched them together to make a crude hang-glider apparatus.
"I don't need to fly, I just need to be able to better direct my falling." ^_^
<whooof> In the distance, a Roc that had been maintaining a circular flight pattern suddenly crumples mid-flight, as though struck from above by a projectile.
>>23688>Wings of FlyingThat's what I thought she was going to do.
Hang glider is much more creative though.
Make it fold into a staff, like in Avatar tLA >>23689>Rocs existWell shit. How much of this world is trying to us?
>>23690Ooooh, that's a GOOD idea, Not a staff exactly, but collapse-able.
The Roc in the distance is clearly struggling against something, but unable to right its self as it descends toward the ground. At this rate,....
... yeah, it didn't make it.
BTW, if I didn't mention last night, I'm gonna do a bit more off-board dice rolling simply to increase the tempo of some activities. Combat rolls will still be done on board.
Trumpaladin wakes up with a full and long list of things he needs to do today.
He needs to confer with Inferius, on not just one but two seperate issues.
He needs to ask Fae a question, and then have her accompany him on an expedition.
He needs to deliver some Chamomile Tea to a certain someone, and make some morning bagels for her as well
He needs to ask Trollestia for her services
He needs to meet with Sechs and his Broncos
He needs to meet with leaders of the Davisian Order
He needs to recheck that market place
But first, there's someone he really wants to talk to. Someone he did not talk to last night, though he wanted to
>>23695That, you can eat>>23695A VERY good question.
A small group of humans emerge from the brothel and make their way in the direction of the fallen bird.
It takes a while, but the team of humans eventually drag the bird back in the vicinity of the Port. There they lay the bird out and begin the long and laborious task of plucking it.
Thez <whooofs> back to the tower, bearing some new scratches and gashes (nothing serious).
"I need to make an amulet, I got so used to having scales and natural armor - not to mention much more damage reduction - that I forget to guard myself against attacks. Oh well, I still nabbed us a proper bird, the whole city can has some 'turkey' tonight!" ^_^
>>23699>this is after Tracy woke up and kissed her husband good morningTracy is out for a stroll, and decides to investigate the area where the bird landed.
>>23700>the whole city can has some 'turkey' tonightYou set this whole thing up for that
>>23701But I need to talk to her first
>>23702I would NEVER
Black spot is gommie town, dark red is where the bird landed.
>>23702Please, oh please, oh please don't make me miss out on this.I'm going to have to go in a bit...
>>23703I didn't put all those ranks into Handle Animal for nothing. >>23704Tracy goes out to check out the mountains around that area.
>>23707Bah, trolls are easy if you know what to do.
>>23708Good point. I'll add it later, but the Tree-Orc village is just to the right of the circle
*investigates mountains where Roc fell*
>>23712The Roc didn't fall in the mountains, it fell in a field a way outside Port Barry, almost like it was hunting caos
>>23711"What? Just set 'em on fire," Thez says like everyone knows that.
>>23713*Investigates crater where bird fell to determine which way it was flying, and looks for mountains in either direction*
I g2g, but I wanna find that nest.
>>23713Almost as if it fell miles away from the probable location of its nest, if it was a female. If
>>23714"I see. Just like the Vietnamese..."
*removes Icon of Saint Nixon from his pocket and looks at it*
>>23717Fuck it, I'm going to do this because Tracy didn't and it's just so glaringly obvious
"Thez, what was the sex of the Roc?"
>>23718"Uhm,... I didn't check. Hold on." <whooof>
32 seconds later
<whooof>"Its a girl."
>>23719"One more question Thez. These Trolls. Are they the same as the "Orcs" I hear mentioned, or are we dealing with two entirely separate groups here?"
>but I just wanna fug that pone
I saw that GM
>>23722"Uh... who was encountered by Tracy and Inferius last night exactly? Living in the trees?"
>>23723Tree-orcs. The Trolls were in a separate section of the woods. I'll plot that position also.
>>23724*Reeees internally*
"Was the village of the Trolls located, or only of Orcs?"
>>23725The troll village has not been located so far, just the orcs. The orc village is in a decent enough forest, but its mostly soft woods that aren't sufficient for trebuchets, the harder woods are deeper into the forest.
>>23726"Trolls I know are dangerous and man-eaters. What is the reputation of Orcs?"
>>23727"NORMAL orcs, or THESE orcs?" Thez asks with a chuckle.
>>23728"The Tree Orcs whose village was located. As specific to this situation as possible"
>>23729"Oh they're a bunch of pansies. They first took to the trees when the zombies were a problem, and developed a strategy of raining down rocks and filth on whoever was detected in their environment. They're generally malnourished, moderately inbred, and entirely stupid. Don't tell Slag I said that."
>>23730"Who is Slag? Have you opened up diplomacy with them? Are they an amiable bunch?"
>When you almost call an airstrike on the wrong village
>>23731"Slag is the angry green-faced guy who made a cameo early on against the hydra. He's been hiding in his room since then cuz he's so SERIOUS," she says this with a mocking sort of theatrics. "At this point, I don't think the orcs are aware of us, other than the time when they shot at I'nis. I wouldn't describe them as amiable, but they might be lured into contributing to the party and the local infrastructure.
>>23733Orcs Speak common, right?
*Scratches "Genocide Troll Village" off list of things to do today, since the Troll village has not been located, and the Orcs are not suitable targets for mass murder of women and children*
"I guess we'll want to meet with her when we determine we need laborers to build a damn or highway system. In the mean time, I have a pirate and 23 potential pirates I don't know what to do with, and 14 elves we sort of have laying around. I'll try to talk Inferius out of pissing them off by trying to enslave a few of them"
\r
>>23734>commonHeavens no, why do you think all the "Hibbity Hooblah"?
Wait, Infernius was going to re-enslave the elves?
Back for a bit
Did Tracy find any clues in the Roc's territory
>>23735I mean.. the D&D wiki says they speak both Common and orc, so I figured they were talking Orc in the home.
>re-enslave the elvesThe elves, no, although if they spent much of the day searching for gems in the dungeon or helping move the larger beams for the trebuchet, it would be much appreciated
>>23736She wasn't looking in its territory, she was surveying the area around where it landed, but Rocs have a several mile-long range of operation. They're
ahem meta known for nesting in mountainous regions.
>>23738These aren't standard orcs, these are tree-orcs. No common 4 u!
>>23739*sighs*
Well if they can't speak our language and no one knows Orc, then we can't boss them around.
Just so long as Inferius doesn't start a war I'm fine
>>23739I meant looking for/into it's territory.
Did she find the mountains in which it could've roosted?
>>23741There's one mountain range. Try not to get eaten by a dragon
>>23739Trumpaladin goes to the Bazaar. Riding Fae if it's faster
>>23743
An adult dragon is a match for a high level paladin. I checked
>>23742>Mountain dragonsThat'd be Red or Silver, right?
>>23746Well, there are a number of dragons that like to live in mountains, although it's different climate zones for different kinds of mountain dragons. I think Silver are reasonably non-hostile, but red dragons, yeah. If you find a large one, you're dying
>>23740It would be a shame if there was a cleric in the party that can "Comprehend languages"
>>23741It would have been the one that is at the south side of the Circle. You know, the one Tracy and Infernius were mobbing around in last night.
>>23746Red Dragon is correct. Just looked at the stats again and you don't want to face one alone
>>23747Red dragons are bros. They know where it's at.
Fuck silver dragons though. Thinking they're so cool, and always shapeshifting for human cock.
>>23748Advance towards that area.
Also, does this universe have duct tape?
>>23750>BrosUh huh. I'm sure they feel the same way about you
>>23751I'll consider making an exception, but no.
>>23750Red dragons are legendary-tier trolls
