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?

>>27962Yeah, I'm gonna have to make food soon too.
I would make food but I think my mom through away my cooking pot the last time she was here
>>27964>>27965>>27966well shit i guess ill go get some mcdonalds.
>>27964I can try
>>27966RIP
>>27965Bye
>>27967Ha, already ate now I don't need to leave
>>27968Don't act like I'm crossing the ocean, I'll be done in like 10 minutes
Last night only took a while cuz I was barbeque-ing and ran out of propane and hadda switch to the oven to finish
>>27969Well fuck, he went across the ocean. We'll never see him again
>>27971Back, rdy 2 go but waiting a bit 4 Tracy
>>27972I'm still doing shit, but I can play here and there.
So as I see it there are a few ways to proceed on this:
Have Tracy go ethereal to look in the water and ground for the hiding spot of the dragon
After everyone else is in the non-bog area, come back on Fae and hope the dragon attacks
Do the same as above but on Tracy, making loud noises to get the dragon to attack
>>27975>loud noisesBlack dragons aren't fish: they know better than to take that kind of bait. Also, it can spray us from hiding.
If you want it to expose itself, you're going to need something irresistible.
>>27976Like troll corpses while remaining ethereal? What are your suggestions?
>>27976If Tracy wants to offer the dragon a large stock of gold coins for safe passage back through the swamp, she is welcome to do so
>>27977I imagine it would eat that, but you need something to get it to expose itself. They're more clever than the average hoo-man.
Maybe try saying something? At least distract it long enough for the soldiers to get away. What's your Diplomacy level?
>>27978That could easily work, but it might want proof.
I still have an Acid-resistance potion on me I recieved from Tracy before the Kefka fight
>>27978Tracy has a large stock of gold coins? Oh yeah, Tracy DOES have a large stock of,....
>>27980That'd be QUITE useful desu
>>27979Diplomacy is +29
>for the soldiers to get awayThis isn't about the best way to cut and run
>>27981>>27982has trump made iy back to the tower yet?
>>27982You say that, but you've got 16 hit-dice. Deaths (even reverseable ones) can have an impact on morale,....
>>27985This,
It could have a legit impact on Leadership if you lead them to their dooms.
Best to protect the troupe first.
>>27983Newp, he brought some troll-hunters to a dragon-fight
Get it? Like, bringing a knife to a gunfight? Well, the path back is covered in acid AND has a dragon watching it.
Wut do? is there another way back to the Port? (he might be watching that too though)
>>27987do i sense that anything is wrong or out of place?
>>27987>>27986>>27985>>27984>impact on moraleDo you honestly believe I do not know that?
The plan is escort the troops to the other side away from the bog, have them kill the trolls, then come back and figure out how to get the Dragon to fight us
Peace With Honor
>>27988Fly high, look for alternative routes around
[1d20 = 18]>>27990Who's going to carry the bodies?
>>27991On it.
Fly up while Ethereal until out of Acid Range.
Search Check for alternate paths.
>>27992No. Do not go ethereal around the soldiers. The dragon will notice and attack again. It will not attack now if it knows we are there. Escort the troops forward along the known route
[1d20 = 12]>>27993>It will not attack now if it knows we are there.That's a big assumption. It'll suck if her legs get melted off.
>Do not go ethereal around the soldiersWhy?
>>27993The troops are falling back toward the Troll encampment
>>27995>no etherealNo bully, but that one confuses me too
>>27995>why not go etherealBlack dragons are cowards. They are more likely to attack 10 soldiers with no paladin and cauchemar than 10 soldiers with a paladin and cauchemar. The only way to go is forward, and we'll look for ways around the swamp when the are out of range of the big, where the dragon is at the moment. Stay next to the bog so the dragon knows we are on it
>>27996Have them attack the trolls. Fae should attack as well, hunting down any that try to run off
[1d20+5 = 16]>>27997>cowards>thinking it gives a shit about a hoo-man on a flaming hoersThey're also cruel. They'll torture anything they're powerful enough to harm easily.
>go deeper into the swamp"Whatever you say, Flashy."
Spot check for signs of where skullface will pop-out next.
[1d20 = 19]
Search check for safer paths through the forest
Also, ignore the Trolls. They probably scrambled when they heard the Dragon.
>>27999Well hopefully it thinks we're weak enough to harm easily
>>28001NO. We're not quiting this empty handed. Never. Never.
>>28003Didn't we determine that the Troll civilization was nearly kill anyway?
>>28004That's not what we're telling the people when we get back. We're killing all of the trolls and bringing back souvenirs. If at all possible, we're killing the dragon too. Then resurrecting dead soldiers in the entertron.
>>28005>That's not what we're telling the people when we get backWhy? Tell them we finished them off.
So, what's the plan? Burn what's left of the troll camp and then find a way to bring the soldiers back?
How many bodies were recovered?
>>28005fuck you, your not killing that nigger dragon without me.
>>28008Because five soldiers died on this mission. To say that it was unnecessary, and to go back with nothing, is a slight to honor that is worse than death. No. Never. The remaining trolls must be killed, and the dragon must be at least swiped at.
Sorry, on spooder-patrol for a few
