As we join the party for this round of tomfoolery, Infernius is residing comfortably in the Tower. Tay is also, despite a rebuke from Thez, and likewise Torcuil is resting comfortably.

On other fronts, several of Trump's Generals have been burned alive by acid, while others feebly attempt to fend off a dragon with their bows. Trump and Tracy speed in to aid the scenario, while Fae attempts to direct combat and help PCs and NPCs alike to live another day.

Welcome back to the Game, we're in the middle of murder so please don't mind my lack of descriptions/invitations, lets continue shall we?

Tbqh desu sempai, I expected a Black dragon to show. I was actually going to tell Trumpaladin's player to wait for the rest of the hunting party before proceeding, and just spam his Detect Evil skill, but I got impatientr and just assumed that the Dragon would appear in front of us. I should've known it would ambush the raiding party: they're like gators..

What about items with lasting effects when one character fails his/her save, like a Mace of Blood? Cursed items are my favorite kinds of items, desu, because they could potentially to anything.

Thats an interesting question. The description of the necklace only describes that there is a shell of air around the wearer, but not the size (it could be a few inches, or it could be an aura-sized envelope). I really hadn't thought about it to that degree, since the concept is open to interpretation. Given Tracy's size (esp. when Cauchemar) its conceivable that Trump would fit inside the shell, but its also conceivable that he should have been unable to breathe. That would have made the scene far less comfy had I even thought of it, so in retrospect I would still have gone with the previous situation.

When I first read it, it sounded like a voluntary free action to me:
>During the excitement of battle, a nightmare snorts and neighs with rage. This snorting fills a 15-foot cone with a hot, sulfurous smoke that chokes and blinds opponents. Anyone in the cone must succeed on a DC 24 Fortitude save or take a –2 penalty on all attack and damage rolls until 1d6 minutes after leaving the cone. The cone lasts 1 round, and the nightmare uses it once as a free action during its turn each round. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Although, I guess its rider doesn't count as an opponent, so the rider should be able to see/breath clearly.

It was the "during the excitement of battle" part that suggests its more of an involuntary thing, like just something they "do" during the heat of battle, in the same sense that when a person is agitated their respiration naturally increases outside their conscious thought.

Crossing fingers for spooky cursed items in the dragon's hoard

>>28545
So here's what I am getting from the whole of cursed items. Most such items seem to fall somewhere between "Malicious practical joke" and "Intentionally killing/maiming/permanently-handicapping". There are some examples (the Mace of Blood is one) where I can envision the item coming about through a particularly brutal or bloody war, perhaps a betrayal, or some other degree of foul circumstance. A berserking sword is another such example. Aside from those however, the only point to a cursed item seems to be as a booby-trap against anyone who might attempt to run off with 'whoever's' treasure. Beyond that though, I can think of very few situations where a competent spell-caster would go through the trouble of crafting such an item (except perhaps TO deliberately malign someone), but in such cases its hard (for me at least) to imagine that such an item would be retained and not either destroyed or whatever. That's my initial impression at least.

I gather Tracy was asking "How many doods per day do you eat?", but I'm not sure. The dragon was essentially indicating that it doesn't have to eat doods, and another source of food was plentiful, it would consider it.

I was actually going to request being able to turn my heavy mace into a Mace of Blood by mercilessly genociding the trolls, but it didn't go as planned... I've been under the notion that she's been pouring her fiendish blood over the hilt for four days, but it'll still take a while to craft Especially since I was hoping to eventually stack its effect with a Mace of Terror.
As for the subject of cursed items, i like them mostly because they're like practical jokes, especially since some could end up being useful, at some ridiculous condition/cost.

As far as good and evil races/characters are concerned, often times the distinction between good and evil is a matter of interpretation by the surrounding societies. Shrek is a perfect example, as well as others (both in and out of D&D), where the determination of "evil" or w/e is a matter of reputation and misunderstanding by (often) ignorant groups to something that they simply don't understand. The concept of "evil" conventionally regarded as "Service to Self" rather than "Service to Others", but an individual can be entirely focused on STS but without being so at the expense of others, or as in the case of Kiynen, is so because of an absence of a suitable alternative.

Why the hell was everyone so ready to kill alleged communists without even bothering to check that they actually believed in the tenets of communism? Why did no one think "maybe we can convince these people to be capitalists, or at least enslave them for our mine"? Why does a man eating black dragon get all sorts of pity and is talked to and everything, but the Durpistanis who never harmed anyone get nothing but contempt?

Quite honestly this. We Durpistanies didn't even get a chance to speak/express their alleged degeneracy. They just scattered like cockroaches while they were slaughtered without resistance or even knowing what was going on.

If it were just Trumpaladin and Tracy, it would've been a perfect encounter, and I had pre-written lines for Tracy to get excited for the battle once the brawl actually started. Bringing-in more players for a dragon equivalent to a 19 year old just dilutes the excitement though, since it basically stops being an actual battle there... A young black dragon is only a level 9 encounter.

I concede your point on that. IIRC Infernius made the initial suggestion cuz bolshevics, Thez (having dealt with them in previous Games) was all-too willing to go along with it, and Torcuil was triggered for reasons I can't recall at the moment, except that they reminded his character of his own back-story.

Not to my recollection. Just cuz Trump was forceful and didn't ask for consent, doesn't mean that Tracy did or would have denied it.

You're probably thinking of when I put the sword to her heart the night before - that was a separate instance. Also I attacked her with sword two other times, but let's not get into that. I mean when the sword was to her face and then neck as part of a sex act
