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..
>>28527
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.

It wouldn't have ambushed them, I expected it was going to attack Trump and Tracy, but then you mentioned the zephyr shoes and I was like "Well THAT'S out, but the Generals will definitely wake it up"
>cursed item saves
I'm not sure what you mean, Are you asking if an empathic link helps to combat the negative effects such as alignment change?

Yes. In particular, I don't want Trump's player to get bent out of shape if Tracy drags home an item that accidentally turns him evil, or polymorphs him into a snail in the moonlight, or changes his gender or literally anything else a cursed item could do.

No, anything Tracy uses will only affect Tracy, though the link allows Trump to assist in combatting the effects. He won't get turned into a newt just 'cuz she does, if that's your concern.

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.

Alright then.
It that case, I hope it'd probably also make it a bit easier to see/breath when surrounded with volcanic smog.

Also, can cursed items, other than the Specific cursed items on the list, be crafted? There are some very interesting effects there, and some of the Specific items don't even require spells to craft.

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.

I really haven't dealt with cursed items very much, I'll need a bit to contemplate.

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.

But seriously, does anyone else want to build a Mar-a-Lago resort on the Dragon's bayou?
>>28548
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 feel like the rational response is "hell no," but given just how damned expensive of a shaggy dog hunt that was, and since I was intending on starting a resort at some point, we may as well use the conquered land

It was just a crude joke about feeding her douches we don't like.
Yeah, I'll make sure to speak up again later. I'm just a little shy about telling characters what to do, because I dislike being told what to do, but I'll give any advice I have in the future.
In the future, spam your Detect Evil in any place you could envision a surprise encounter.

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.
>>28550
Basically this.

If killy ever gets outed by the local Bronze Dragons, she could be the manager/guardian after development. Torc could be our Steve Irwin.

This is part of the reason I wanted to help Tay craft her Lyre of Building.
If three or more characters collaborate on a craft, could it be completed faster?

"Put up with"? Aside from being entirely suspicious of everything its experiencing, but otherwise realizing it is dealing with a group that is capable of murdering it if they really wanted (dragons are painfully aware that they're more valuable to a variety of creatures dead than alive) not much. Its not trying to >rape him if that's your question.

Since a Summon Monster I wand only costs 750 shekels, Tracy crafts one of those.

This.
It was exactly the right size to make Tracy an ebin suit of armor in her full-sized form and still have leftovers for all the rest of the group. I just felt sorry for it though...

Flying, it wouldn't take them that long, you can assume that they've arrived. Oh hey, you know there's a whole bunch of bodies right there in Durpistan that could sustain her for months now that I think about it,....

Fun fact, that's why Lenos died in his previous life, was cuz somebody wanted black-and-gold striped dragon plate.

That makes sense, though Tay is a long way from being skilled enough to use such an item.

Beaches/Oceans are Bronze Dragon territory. It's a potentially fragile ecosystem.

Torcuil, please don't bring it to Durpustan, because then it can't be trusted not to attack the people we send to rebuild the mine. Then I'll HAVE to kill it. It can't stay there long anyways. Take it south to the sea on the other side of the continent so we don't have to encounter it again

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.

Idk, m8. Black dragons aren't retarded enough to malign parties that could kill them, and we've got a LOT of dead bodies to clean up with only ~15 workers before they begin to attract/turn-into monsters.

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?

This. I don't want to have to get too preachy, but one of the underlying themes of the game is that most things can have/find a purpose that benefits both themselves and those they encounter/interact with (kinda like the whole Natsoc concept)
