>>31258 Nope! >>31263 A spellcaster who takes damage during casting must roll a concentration check, dc 1/2 the damage taken. >>31272 >Animal and Good Don't be a faggot >>31281 I'm gonna need a quick rundown
....
Gawd u guys ~_~
>>31520 It wouldn't be cheating, there was no declaration or assumption of monogamy. >>31536 e_e
I,... I don't even know where to begin. You guys,....
So my biggest question is "How did Infernius teleport FROM the tower?" The reason that's my question is because the tower has a number of fields in effect expressly to prevent unauthorized teleportation in and out of the Tower. One could say that Infernius was/would-have-been authorized, except last time he was talking about going to the NEP, so he would not have been authorized, for safety's sake.
I'll let it play out, but next time please check with me before anything off the wall.
By the way there's a better spell for finding people.
>>31608 I mean she's not about to go shacking up with anyone (the Trump thing was a one-time necessity), but you might be surprised at how undisturbed she would be if she found out Infernius did it w/ someone.
>>31611 Well, Infernius is currently brainbroken, so no worries there. Besides, I think you're misreading the situation, due to my abbreviated description cuz I'm still trying to figure what all has happened.
Thez declared her union to Infernius, under the authority of her existing household (with all rights and privileges thereof), which he reciprocated. If he shags someone other than Thez, it is of no consequence, so long as the doing so does not infringe upon the development of their household, which it wouldn't because she's from hell and dgaf. She's already quite seeded, so she's not concerned about what he may do in the interim.
>>31621 My thoughts as well, but I'm still not sure the capabilities of the worm.
Spoiler alert, its a brain worm,....
Anyhow, yeah. Does the worm have independent class levels? I was thinking something like Dax from Star Trek DS9, except ebil, so class levels would be applicable.
>>31623 So then, "It's" options are limited. The travel ban is still in effect except against direct summons. There are several factions which might help "it", but none immediately available (even if it knew of them previously). "It" would surely know that its efforts will be doggedly pursued, and that stealth and secrecy would be the order of the day, but it also knows its in a particularly distinct and descriptive body.
Other players - Tracy, Trump, Torcuil, Norfilly, and Taylor - now would be a good time to casually suggest the sorts of items you would want for going on a quest.
Also Sad Alex,... who is still a statue at the moment. Incidentally, the Fight Club was very distressed to hear that Thez would no longer be administering the beatings, and they are most suspicious and critical of this "Yak Lee" guy.
>>31607 Yeah but -15 modifyer on greater scrying I just wanna try that first >>31622 I'm still on TOS, whats Dax? >>31634 Do you mean things like new gear? Or rations?
Animals with black horns have iron in them to strengthen them, right? Anyone think the horn Infernius left behind would make for a good Iron Horn of Valhalla, for Taylor? She's squishy, so she could use the man-power. https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Horn_of_Valhalla
>>31636 >thinks its going to make sense somehow >>31638 >what's Dax >condescending intensifies Yes. New gear. You just got a duplicating chopstick so rations are not really an issue. >>31641 Who? >>31651 How many nifty machines do I have to throw at you? >>31655 Just hold onto it for a bit, it will come up in conversation.
Thez snaps out of her trance and immediately makes a bee-line for the library and starts writing, scribbling notes, making sketches, amd throws a whole bunch of books down on the table around her main work.
>>31656 Uh, 420 machines >condescending Rude, I haven't gotten there yet >New gear Uhhhhh, I can't think of anything Torc would need. Any sugestions faggots?
>>31661 Murderous glare, continues working. (I know, that was for the condescending bit, but still). Dax is a symbiotic life form that merges with the organism it is paired with, where both consciousnesses unite. The host gains the full knowledge and perception of the parasite, while the parasite gets a new body to operate in. The parasite maintains its disposition regardless of the host it is placed in (there was an episode where Dax was forcibly taken and put into an antagonist, but after doing so assumed Dax' affable manner and perception), and the host personality takes a back seat.
>>31664 Essentially. In the series, there are a number of training proceedures that allow the host to maintain its self better, in preparation for the joining, and which allow Dax a more 'stable' environment to operate in (which amount to "Sort Yourself Out Anon!"), but yeah. Dax is several thousand years old and its presence is rather overwhelming.
Thez continues working, her fancy broom has been largely dis-assembled and is laid out on the table. Her pretty-shiny plates are stacked neatly in another spot. She loses composure incrementally, and several of her notes and diagrams are dotted with tears, but she continues to work, sketching/compiling/working on something.
She reaches her hand to her forehead for a moment, and curses herself for a moment. "Please excuse me," <whoooof> About a minute or so goes by and she <whoooof> reappears wearing those ruby goggles that Lenos was always wearing (they were hers to begin with). As she reappears and resumes her 'work' she says to Torcuil. "In chess, one doesn't ever win by accident. One doesn't stumble into their opponent's checkmate, not to any reliable degree anyway. Someone has done this deliberately, and they have the element of surprise. I don't know who it is, and I don't know why, but before I even make my first move I am going to ensure that every move is a winning move."
>>31663 >symbiotic life form >life form Then why didn't it fix the problem when Tracy burned Infernius's entire body and grew a new body from his balls? I suspected he had some kind of brain worm.
>>31676 "So, military stradegy?" Torc pulls up a chair across the table "What exactly are you planning to get him back? I should be able to find him, and I still have plenty of his hair for spells."
>>31681 Hmmmm. So you did. But, Infernius' player disregarded that as being effective. I can think of a few reasons for that (fire resistence, momentary etherealness of the invader, etc.) but it seems that its still Game On.
*walks into room* (that she's only ever used to store body parts) *inspects Soros's Arm* >blood is probably dried up >disappointment.png >claws and look wicked though >would make for great unholy blades or gauntlets >maybe even a full plate of demon armor *inspects troll and hydra skulls* >one could plausibly make for a great enchanted mask >this was a comment I typed earlier but never posted
What can Tracy do during this time? Her first action would be to feed her birds.
>>31684 "I'm designing a device, a compass of sorts, that operates on the principles of Locate Creature. It won't tell range, or actual location, but as long as we're on the same plane, it will point toward his direction," she says holding up the hand that has his bull-horn ring on it. >class (kek) L14 Fighter L20 Monk L9 Shadowdancer L6 Horizon Walker >>31685 Thez has an item creation hax. Tracy doesn't know that yet, but get creative.
>>31682 Just say that the Dax didn't have enough room in the stupid bull's tiny brain, so it decided to control him via his balls. >>31686 Kek. I guessed everything but Horizon Walker. Actually, that's a really alluring class, now that I look at it.
>>31687 Horizon Walker is a prestige class based on a nomadic lifestyle, where the benefits are more to do with the environment that one inhabits than the specialty of a particular class. Shadow Dancer is a rogue-ish class that is more about being elusive and trickster-ish than about stealing and backstabbing; its a largely performance (read: circus) based class. >prod "Yes."
>>31690 Oh.... >yes to the prod It better be enchanted in the name of Mike "shock the gay away" Pence. "Thanks Thez, and don't worry. We'll get infernius back"
>>31692 These boots are made for walking And that's just what they'll do Someday these boots are gonna walk all over you "Oh, I meant the ranger aspect... But okay, I understand.
I have a whole list of items that I want someday, but the one that'd be most useful would be those animated Abyssal Demon Claws, so Tracy could function as if she had hands, and deliver devastating effects with a extra effects with them during her sneak attacks.
>>31691 >prod https://youtu.be/OCCjzN8Mghc >>31694 Well, Thez is gearing/strategizing up to find Infernius, and she plans on making adjustments to her own reportoire, so when the opportunity permits, say "Hey, I could use sum of deez."
Tracy lumbers through the hallways, in nightmare form, (her body is covered in 'affectionate' pecking wounds), dragging the Remains of George Soros's severed arm by her chains, headed towards the forge. "Does anyone know if Lenos has gotten back from his date yet? I haven't heard from him in days." asks to anyone around
>>31700 >>31702 Pretend that one of the party members just flipped out and went apeshit, and that characters are thinking "Hmmm, if I were gonna go after him, I'd want a, <fill in this space>"
>>31702 Mask of the Skull is just too much Haxxor, way too much
>>31704 Well, for starters, I couldn't help but notice that I am the only party member who can't poof out of trouble. So I most want a Helm of Teleportation. I want a Belt of Giant Strength as well
>>31714 "Ish," She bundles the shiny plates together, and the sword/broom parts. as well as several of the diagrams. "I don't know what is happening, though clearly something 'is'. By the scenario, I would guess that the trail will lead to other planes, and depending on the plane, who knows what could be in store. I'm calling in a favor. If, as you currently are, you found yourself faced with having to venture into places that were literally designed to eat your soul, what would you want to have with you?"
"What's worse, I can almost assume that there is some degree of counter-measure in store. This most likely isn't an isolated incident, and while I'm still trying to puzzle out "who", I would assume that upon any departure there will be a counter-offensive against the Port and any surrounding allies. Tl;dr Infernius was just the first move."
Well, if I were to have anything I wanted like a kid in a candy store, I'd want: >Animated Abyssal Demon Claw Guantlets (effectively +4 keen weapons (1d10/19–20) that afflict the target as if she had been struck by an energy drain spell (Fortitude negates DC 23) or Contagion (Fortitude DC 14 negates) >Everwhirling Chain of Flame >Mask of the skull >Shapeshifter's Armor (studded leather) of Shadow and Slickness >Horseshoes of The Peerless Steed >Mace of Blood and Terror >Berserking Sword Unholy Despoiler >Ring of Spell Turning >Eyes of Doom Headband of Epic Intellect Unholy Despoiler Luck Blade Of course, that's freaking ridiculous, but it felt great to finally let it out. >>31705 Dream bigger (but not as big as me because I'm just a massive faggot).
>>31716 "Should we mobilize the Generals and the Spartan Trainees for a home defense? Try to take over the Gestapo as well? Maybe send a pigeon to Baz to do the same in Sparintenar?"
>>31720 What are the stats for your suit of Chain Shirt? It could be upgraded to a Invulnerable Coat. Also, get a freaking shield. >>31719 One of those unholy despoilers was actually supposed to be a ring of animal friendship. The other was vorpal. Just daydreaming. >>31723 It's got a DC, and quite a few attacks in game are effectively "one-shot kill", anyway.
>>31719 8O "You're lucky the circumstances." >>31721 >trash man I don't get the meme, but it worked alright. I don't know about the attribute rolling, but for a story element it worked well. >ring "Maybe, but there will be a cost for it, a "to be determined" sort of cost (read, a 'favor')." >>31722 "Yes," >>31723 Oh plz, Skull Masks r babbies first ebin magic items. They suck. >>31720 "K." >>31724 His suit is already plenty buffed. Its based on Celestial Chain, except neutral-aligned.
>>31724 >What are the stats for your suit of Chain Shirt? Already pretty enchanted. I think +8 AC. And I have Korak's "Bee" magic ring shield which is functionally a heavy shield. I don't have a tower shield, but I am not rated for it or for wielding the bastard weapons one handed either
>>31725 Is there a Horseshoes of Speed we can make as paw pads for Fae that allow her to have those but still use a claw attack?
Um... a Cloak of Charisma is another good thing, especially since the bonus can be added to saving throws. A Stone of Luck is also good for saving throws
>>31725 Whelp, Trumpaladin prepares a note: "Demonic Incursion reported in Port Barry. A Brain worm that is capable of controlling its host, how the infection came about and what is to follow is unknown. Mobilize your defenses and beware of demons" Is sent by pigeon to Baz
Essentially the same is sent to Sechs via pigeon, telling him to consider ways of protecting the citizenry
Fae is called in and asked to mobilize the Generals, and also now the Spartan Trainees, for a possible attack on the city.
A messenger is sent to Gestapo headquarters, telling them they have been transferred in their control because of the temporary incapacitation of their leader, and are ordered, likewise, to mobilize and prepare to defend the city
>>31725 REEEEEEE! GET A REAL FUCKING SHEILD! It's inconvenient if you die! Get a Lion's Shield, of Great Reflection: You don't even have to hold that. >>31729 You'll want a Circlet of Persuasion. We could also bind Fae's soul to the Shield and make it Intelligent, after she dies.
Or just fuck everything and ask of an Artifact, like an Iron Gauntlet of War.
>>31744 Just for the record, can one wear a circlet and a headband at the same time? >We can just leave him, right? Oh come on, man. You're the freaking Paladin.
>>31733 >bind Fae's soul to the Shield and make it Intelligent, after she dies The worst part about this suggestion is I'm not even wholly convinced it's bad
>>31745 You're the one who made all of this bullshit happen. GM should have flunked your teleportation suggestion
I will take the opportunity to point out that the literal weeks and months of inter-game planning is all moot at this point. All the careful strategizing and planning for in-world shenanigens is all taking a big back-seat, cuz of recent. I cannot stress how much you,... wonderful players ^_^`,... have pushed the envelope of GM responding to player input and activity. >>31744 >cutting losses That would be inconceivably out of character for Thez, but its up to everyone if they want to make a moral/dispositional decision. >>31746 Nope, just one >freakin' paladin IKR?
Thez finishes her diagrams and shite by writing a lengthy scroll, which she 'stamps' by drawing a small drop of blood, smearing it over her moniker. "Any last requests?"
>>31753 The mystery is part of the fun. >>31757 >>31758 I thought she'd go with Torc..
Tracy, in the mean time, explains to Trollestia that she has to go catch the stupid bull. She gives her a long-ass lecture on how to take care of them, how often to feed then, when to make them sleep... etc. She sounds like an over-protective mother ranting-on to a baby-sitter She can cast Sending right? Tracy will want status updates. >>31761 There are always more requests.
>>31764 I thought she would too, but what the hell. I don't care anymore >>31765 You'll now die first for saying that >>31766 Seig Heil -Some German Guy
>>31733 >Lion's Shield of Great Reflection Fun fact, the last paladin had one of those,... his is one of the heads on display in the mess hall. So I've got: Pence Prod Resistance Cloak Animated Demon-Murder Claws Funky Flaming Chain Mask of Skull (4 spoopy) Shapeshifter's Well-Lubed Shadow Armor Haxxshoes Ebin Murder Mace Rage Sword Unholy Despoiler (???) Ring of Spell Turning Eyes of Doom Headband of Intellect (no ebin) Unholy Despoiler? Again? Luck Blade Bracers of Speed (Fae) Lion's Shield of Reflecting Circlet of Persuasion Periapt of Wisdom Helm of Teleportation >>31767 Uhm,... you might want to re-think that position
What do you think happens amongst the 'natives' when a being that is the embodiment of natural and unadultered purity shows up in their midst? Its almost like what happens when an overly sexy young female arrives. Thez inconspicuously adjusts her mask.
>>31772 >>31770 One of those Unholy Despoiler Was supposed to be a ring of Animal Friendship Vorpal Unholy Despoiler of Luck, in place of the luck blade? I jest, of course. Unless… >>31761 >last requests Alright, can she have a Figurine of Wondrous Power (Obsidian Steed edition), in the form of a Pendant, so she can carry everyone home when they all fucking die? She may as well put a shrinking carriage in her bag too. >>31772 As an Outsider with 15 HD and two levels in Blackguard, what's the magnitude of Tracy's Unholy Aura?
>>31783 >animal friendship No, friendship is definitely outside the purview of Thez' haxx. >figurine Maybe,... he says to the hoers. (a pity Infernius has Uatchit) >aura Decent, but everyone has one where I think we're going. >>31784 >>31785 ???
>>31787 >>31787 Is there some sort of Magic "Oh Fuck" button or scroll or whatever that allows a nearly dead Trumpaladin to return to a plane he's meant to be on?
>>31786 Where do you think this is leading? The 7 Heavens? >>31789 Newp! >>31788 >steelhand Nah, thats fine >>31790 Thez tosses Bob's Ghost-Touch composite bow at Trump. Its +2, and says "Swift Defeat for mine Enemies" whenever it's drawn.
Thez continues by grabbing up all the loot she can before <whoooof>,.... <whooof> she grabs up more and <whooof>,... <whooof> to be followed by more of the <whoooof>,... <whooof> same. (She's looting the vault FYI)
>>31787 I was thinking about a pendant in place of the figurine, since I guessed it was based off of a Nightmare in the first place. Something that could allow her to Plane Shift once a week; the benefit would be that she doesn't have the 10% chance to carry her rider to a lower plane and leave them there.
>>31797 No aura that I'm finding, but they are distinguishably good so still has a target. >>31796 "There's nothing about this that's 'advisable'. Whoever goes on this venture does so at their peril." Thez <whooooofs> again, and momentarily <whooof> reappears. "Well, its done then. By my calculations, we should have a response in the next hour" (game-time, I will need to run for a few minutes tho).
