>>32630Well I assume there will be one when we go through the door
>>32628Nothing can be heard from this position. No sounds occur from around the door.
>>32633Distant, but 2 presences far from the door in the next room.
>>32632>>32635>>32634Is Torc gonna have to fireball a door again?
"Anytime today would be nice..."
>>32635None except Torcuil and Trump.
>>32637The door opens to a long staircase leading down. 2 voices can be heard speaking from the bottom, one female and one male. The female is raspy and ghostly, the male is deep and inhuman.
>>32635>>32636"who wants to walk down?" Trumpaladin whispers
[1d20 = 6]>>32637"Finally"
Torc summons the Trash Man
17 STR
15 DEX
5 CON
17 INT
20 WIS
15 CHA
GM, feel free to makes slight changes if necassaryRolling initiatve for Trash Man
>>32639"Ladies first?"
[1d20+5 = 18]>>32638*looses auto-flame-chain*
Spot check to see what's down there, through the dark
>low-light vision/darkvision >>32641>>32640THEY ARE TOO FAR AWAY! WE HAD THE ELEMENT OF SURPISE! Oh Come on! We could have listened to them
*Throws Torcuil own the stairs*
[2d20 = 6]>>32640*kicks trash can down the stairs with both rear hooves, as a distraction*
*Sends chain after it to auto-attack whatever's down there*
Rolling for chain's attacks
>>32643Shit...
>>32642*grabs torc, to keep him from falling*
>>32642>surpriseSeriously. It actually makes my job more difficult now. Hold on,....
I want to specify the Trash Man made no noise, he just appeared
>>32645Torc whispers "thanks Tracy"
>>32646Trumpaladin stands back and expresses his frustration
>>32647e_e
So you summoned him without making a sound? Cuz, Summon Trash Man is a non-verbal spell? The Trash Man doesn't strike me as the quiet type.
>>32649Tracy shoved him down the stairs as soon as he appeared.
>element of surprise. >>32647It's the Trash Man. He doesn't do stealth
>>32649This.
>>32643There are better ways to Leeroy Jenkins
>>32651>Leeroy JenkinsI'm the Rogue/Assassin/Blackguard; let me decide the sneak attacks!
>>32649Does writing in a tome make noise?
BESIDES just the Trash Man could run down
I'm honestly supprised now one has killed Torc out of sheer annoyance, especially you GM. I fucking suck at this >>32652Because throwing a trashcan down spiral stairs is so stealthy
>>32653>supprised now one has killed Torc out of sheer annoyanceI know, right?
>>32654Fuck your wussy ass sneak attacks
TM> I'M THE TRASH MAN
And he jumps down the stairs to fight while Torc holds everyone back at the top
Torc (whispering)> Hold up, lets see how long he lasts
[1d20 = 2]>>32653If I was rigidly adhering to D&D rules, I probably would have.
>>32654Its a straight staircase. So the ppl at the bottom know that there's something at the top. For future reference, consider casting spells
before entering the room you wish to be sneaky-ish in.
>>32643Quaint, but the staircase is more than 60'
H> Finger of Death
The sound of Trash Man slumping and then dematerializing can be heard.
"You, go and learn what the meaning of this is."
H> Teleport
Heavy steps can be heard advacing up the staircase.
>>32656>Finger of DeathSo now we know what is waiting for us
>>32657>2>still killed him instantly"We're fucked"
Torc projects his sheild and pulls out staff of ulitimate power
>>32657Moves outside of stairwell, and readies Full Round attack with Smite Evil on the first two attacks. Fae is asked to do the same on the other side
>>32657Fall back a bit and prepare chain for attacking.
>>32659That was Trash Man's saving throw
>>32660The footsteps stop part of the way up the staircase,... cuz there's a pretty obvious spiked chain dangling there.
Thez sighs and goes ethereal.
>>32662*chain slowly and awkwardly retracts*
>>32662How do you determine the DC for a finger of Death?
>>32666The spell listing has it as a fortitude save, DC spell level (7) + intelligence bonus.
>>32666Matters how powerful the caster is.
>>32665Mirthless chuckling can be heard from the base of the stairs.
"Very well. Take your time revealing yourselves, your intrusion has been noted and will be swiftly routed," the voice grains, in an abysmally low tone.
>>32667Oh Thank God.
*Holds on to +15 Fortitude save modifier like prayer beads, but remains at the door, readying an attack*
>>32670Strike that, its 10 + spell lvl + int bonus
>>32669[angry chain-rattling noises]
>>32672Well that's less good
>>32673We could go Ethereal and go around him maybe
>>32670Prayer beads?
Booms can be heard from beyond the current adversary.
[1d20+21 = 27]>>32674Walls don't allow for phasing through.
Spot check to witness whoever's at the bottom
>>32675Can't really charge him, and need a specific mount to go ethereal to get around him, so I'm stuck for the moment
Torc's faggot frantically searches for the SoUP's spell list
>>32678Walls can't be phased through, but dudes can.
More booms can be heard from beyond the current guy (Oh FFS, its Dick Cheney)
>>32674Fuck it then.
*Advance down the stairs in ghost-form*
>>32681DIck Cheney stands there, giving his zombie-face, and looking quite evil and undead. He wields a warhammer, and is clad in blackened armor. He seems oblivious to your movements.
>>32682Why is he a villain though?
>>32683Rapid-dismount requires a Ride check.
>>32684>Dick Cheney. >>32685Wait. Am I mounted on you?
I have an idea to buy us time
Torc casts wall of force in the stairwell when he can
>>32686That's what you said earlier
I'm going to have to go soon...
>>32685>Implying America did anything wrong in spreading Democracy to the Middle East and Liberating the oppressed oil reserves there>>32688Eh, rides ghost horsey down stairs, and readies an attack for when she materializes behind him
>>32689I really can't tell if you're being ironic or not...
>>32689>wants to get into a lengthy discussion about foreign policy cuz GM decided he'd make a good undead character.Sigh, no mounting indoors.
>>32685Hasn't been mounted since first endering the place,....
More booms, and a click sound can be heard from beyond Dick Cheney.
>>32687That will buy time,... in a manner of speaking.
>>32691Tracy walks forward down the dark corridor, sword drawn and chain prepared on auto-strike.
>>32691Mother fucker!
Trumpaladin walks into the doorway, and casts
TURN UNDEAD
>>32692"Ideas?"
>>32694Have fun running into that wall of force
>>32695He casts in on Dick Cheney. Cause he's dead
>>32696Why did you do that? How does that do anything other than fuck us over by leaving us unable to attack him? And yes I have an idea, cast "Implosion" on him
>>32698Fine, but when he kills you first I'll be the last to cate.
Trrc cancels that and casts ray of enfeeblement
Wait a minute.
Casts DEATH WARD on self
>>32700If Tracy would like to be five feet or less from Trumpaladin at the time of casting, AND remain within five feet of him as they progress down the stair case, Tracy can have immunity to finger of death and perhaps a couple other benefits Trumpaladin casts on himself
>>32704Follow her down the stairs.
[1d20 = 19]If Thez were in the room, she would be facepalming. A few more BOOMs can be heard from the next room.
>>32699>ROEHmmm, that one might actually do something.
[1d6+5 = 9]
ROE strikes successfully, severely retarding Dick's strength.
>>32707I hope that 19 is in my favor
"Prepare yourselves, for you'll be denied the quiet of death." Dick says, ascending the staircase.
Should I mention that the staircase is too narrow to allow ppl to stand side-by-side?
>>32711Yeah that might be useful
Is there a roll Torc has to do when he shoots his pistols, cause thats gonna hapen after the Pence Prod comes out
>>32711Trumpaladin goes towards Cheney to try to attack him with his sword
>>32711Use the Hand of Glory to cast Daylight down the stairs.
Too narrow to dodge?
Throw as many poisoned kunai as she can in one turn.
>>32706Do you want to be the person to make melee contact, or me?
>>32712You're gonna use the melee cattle-prod before the ranged pistols?
>>32714>poison>undead>facepalming intensifies >>32714You might want to get behind and above me
>>32716Its not supposed to be melee, I thought I said it shot lightning.
But, I guess it's pistol time.
>>32718RIP
>>32718Oh fuck, you go do that
Grapples pony, and move her above and behind him so he'll be the one to take the hit and not waifu
Casts Protection from Evil on Self
>>32721This was not intended to be posted. If cheney is a single round away, Trumapaldin readies an attack, with two smite evils
>>32718Thats fine, I'm about to cinematic it to a close anyhow
>>32719You said "Cattle Prod"
>>32722Dick Slowly creeps his way up the stairs, not for stealth but to maintain his posture. He displays a certain finesse, despite being a walking corpse (what? he IS!)
A BOOOOM sound echoes from beyond Dick Cheney, followed by a scraping sound.
>>32723Well, then Trumpaladin casts Protection from Evil on himself. If pony is close enough (I think she should be) she should also receive it because she has the Paladin's Mount class
To Dick Cheney
"Have I ever told you that I appreciate what was accomplished in Iraq? Not only did you get Sadam out, but you managed to build a democratic regime that lasted"
>>32725:O - amazed face
What kind of cattle prods shoot lightning?
If we can talk down a black dragon, and we can talk down a representation of Death, why not talk down a Republican Vice President?
"He's still ALIVE? What the hell have you guys been DOING all this time?!" comes Thez' shout from the end of the room.
>>32729Serious note. Don't beat yourself up, but don't go light on yourself either. Seriously and critically address the situation, and reason a more conducive approach. "What am I doing, and what
could I be doing that might benefit my situation better" is my go-to.
