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.

>>23893Tracy approaches the nest carefully.
>>23905She can handle it. If you had committed to keeping it I would have had it turn into a monster on you, but disposing it will avoid that consequence.
>>23906There are two ways to approach the nest. One is to ethereal right to it and become material again, the other is to climb up along the rock in stealth.
>>23907Have her go Ethereal while she can. Get between the eggs and Daddybird to hide behind them.
Press ear to one of the eggs and listen.
[1d20 = 20]>>23909An orc wearing a pot for a helmet is inside the trap-door with a black scarf over his face yells: "Nazi!" as he attacks with a club.
>>23911Let the eggs be between her and the bird*
>>23912Go to the Saw Mill specifically to speak with Adam
>>23911Listen to both the eggs for that matter.
>>23911Hold on a sec. There's no "popping back in from ethereal and being auto-stealth". The position of the eggs is such quite because of the visibility factor.
>>23915K. "Yeah?"
>>23917With an intense look he asks bluntly
"What did she do?"
>>23917Okay then, slowly creep over the rim of the nest in material pony form alongside the eggs, while Daddybird isn't looking (the moment he looks back at the valley), then hide behind the eggs.
>>23920Rock eggs are as big as a car, right?
>>23922And the adult ones are big enough to carry off a pony or much, much bigger. Why do you want to bring one home? You already have a Tarrasque
>>23919You would, but that was a really good hit. I'm gonna say it stunned you and they force the trapdoor closed again and bolt it.
The talking is muffled, but loud and excited. You can't make out what they're saying.
Would this be considered a non-lethal weapon?
>>23927The door holds solid. Your position on the ladder doesn't allow any sufficient leverage to apply against the door.
>>23930>barbed club>non-lethalSo, while Tracy can go etherealness at will, that doesn't change the fact that the spell-like ability
does have a limited duration. Tracy momentarily appears and either begins falling or is spotted on the ledge next to the nest.
>>23931>limited durationI thought it was 20 rounds?
>>23923Speaking of taking home creatures to raise that you think are harmless or domestic-able, but really just destroy everything when you leave them alone...
>>23931GM, what does Adam say when asked
"What did she do?"
>>23932You spent several minutes etheral waiting for the Roc to lose interest. That alone is 20, 30 or more rounds of Etheralness
why the fuck do i Never roll over 10 REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
>>23931I stab into the floor as far as i can then i set my sword on fire.
>>23932Oh, wait, the transformation, you mean.
Get on the ledge for cover, or rather, get in the nest right next to the eggs, and stare straight at the bird, because why not at this point?
I've been a massive fool tonight. Idk t this point... >>23933You're asking Adam?
"Yeah, it is," his body language suggests that was a dumb question and why the fuck did you come all the way here to ask me that.
>>23932Its 20 minutes actually, but
>>23934 its been a minute since she first went ethereal to escape the Roc. It can be re-engaged from wherever it is you never said she's at, but she's definitely been spotted.
>>23936Again, same story. The ladder doesn't provide sufficient leverage to stab into the wood, and the wood appears long-stained over many years, preventing it from being casually flammable.
>>23939fuck this i go back to the tower.
>>23940You arrive back at the tower, about to get the trolling of a lifetime. Thez is there, finishing up preparations on what appears to be an ebin feast. The whole mess area tables are lined with ridiculous proportions of all kinds of stuffs. Its fuckin' Thanksgiving, what do you want from me? As Infernius enters, she looks over at him and smiles. "Hey there I'nis. Have you seen Tracy?"
>>23939"I'll... come back later..."
>>23941gm when was the last time i saw her? last night?
>>23943Hmmmm, she thinks for a moment, not getting the sort of answer she'd hoped for. <whoof> she disappears.
>>23937>>23939>disappear momentarily>reappear on eggs*sits on eggs with fat horsebutt*
[staring intensifies]
Beckon it to come closer.
I'm drunk as fuck, but here goes.She does confer fire resistance like in 5e, right? Her tail won't burn the egg,
right? >>23945No, but that would heat them quite well now that you mention it, and more than a round in one spot gives concealment (smoke). The Roc can no longer see effectively into the nest area.
>>23947They're still alive. The Roc flaps around frustratedly, but even with its wing beat it can't dissipate the smoke that readily billows from Tracy.
>>23948How far progressed to they feel? Are they well-developed, or freshly laid?
>>23949It feels like the embryos occupy all of their eggs except the air cells.
>>23950Assume Heavy Warhorse shape, after eggs are heated sufficiently.
>Smoke stops*stares straight up at the bird, even more intensely than before*
>>23952"do we have any cages around here?"
>>23942"You do that," he replies. Please note, Adam is a sarcastic bastard, I'm not just making that up.
>>23954He stops what he's doing. "What now?" raising his goggles. "I don't know about cages, but what do you need a cage for?"
>>23953Didn't we just agree you'd need to be mounted to go Heavy Warhorse?
>>23955>to go Heavy WarhorseI thought that was for Cauchemar form?
Either way, do what it takes to stop the smoking.
>>23956You're right. Heavy warhorse was for when she's on fire and ethereal and shit. Which she is/has-been the whole time. Going Pony is how to stop the smoke.
