>>32426 So, do you not want them flying around and grabbing things as though she had arms? >>32427 I did this specifically to avoid awkward questions of how she can be in a full run while holding swords
>>32430 >>32429 It's exactly the same thing as Tracy killing zombies in the very first session, except wielding a sword instead of two knives. Now let's move on
>>32434 I've put up with your haxxor bullshit enough. Even Thez - fucking Thez - only has six attacks because of a Monk's "flurry of attacks" option which requires her to sacrifice armour and attack bonuses. I have patiently played this game with a difficult class to play - Paladin - and only have the melee bonuses I have because this class gives so few other advantages, like your rogue's skill set or a cleric's spells.
Please play by the damn rules and accept 3 attacks per round from whatever means of attack you choose
[1d8+3 = 14] >>32430 I had assumed that was the idea. >>32431 Trust me, this is the less complicated version. There are alot of incidents where I just went with it rather than ask difficult questions that would have hindered gameplay. These eliminate those questions/incidents/issues. >3 attacks This is true, regardless of how Tracy chooses to attack. >>32432 Knives I can see, basket hilted dueling swords, not so much. >>32433 Don't tempt me
So what I am seeing is that Tracy attempted a ride-by attack as the Raptors approached the party, and since Tracy is the leading party member (in position cuz she moves first) they would naturally gang up on her. The first strike lands, the second and third do not. >>32435 >6 attacks Uhm,... sure we'll go with that. >>32434 Should I point out that I've been gradually applying further rules as the game progresses, and that zombies are 1hd creatures, so its no biggie to give extra attacks?
[4d20 = 50] >>32443 Dice roll for Fae, if she gets a full round, although I am not sure. Her attack bonus would be +18
>>32438 An Equestrian earthpony wielding a sword with dexterous hooves makes more sense than a horse not breaking every single one of its teeth or giving itself CTE wielding a sword from its maw
>>32449 Makes more sense than "Jew powers let me become large AND put a sword in my mouth WITHOUT breaking all of my teeth when they hit a solid surface OR Dazing me when my head comes to an instant stop and my brain is thrashed about in my skull"
[3d10+33 = 53] >>32444 You can, but they're positioned so that in order to attack one of them, you'll be unable to cleave the other. All 3 attacks hit.
>>32452 I don't think that's the same, because she was targeting soft, fleshy targets. Hit a sword against steel, or miss and hit rock, you stand a pretty good chance of damaging the sword, and definitely a good chance of breaking teeth or a brain injury if it's held in the mouth
[1d20 = 5] As the third hit lands (2 might have been sufficient, but was being thorough) Thez <whoooof> appears at the other one, continuing her attacks.
>>32468 The room you're in is stone and weird-glassy stuff, but the sounds from the next room sound like a small-build humanoid walking on a metal surface.
>>32475 Peeking through the door, the next room is framed and lined with metal, a very deliberate and rectangular room. Several strange machines line the wall along the path which proceeds to the right. The sound of footsteps approach.
>>32479 Its hard to make much out from the door, but they appear to be large glass cylinders, full of fluid and containing some sort of immobile creature. >>32481 The footsteps are much closer, but no shadows are cast from the ambient light sources.
[1d20+5 = 20] >"Something's coming" She says, readying her fiery chain to engage, and drawing kunai Listen check to determine how many creatures. >>32484 >'You're the Paladin; turn them when you see them.'
How many times can the Everwhirling chain attack per turn?
>>32482 The creature steps fully into view. Its a very gaunt and hard-featured elf with very pale skin. It looks at the machine closest to the door, makes a few scribbles on a clipboard, and then wanders back the way it came.
>>32491 No stealing shit until we know what is going on >"Want to pose as a businessman and mare inspecting the units, so we can ask questions about them from the elf?"
The elf-guy is caught sufficiently by surprise that he is caught sufficiently by the rope, which winds its self around him. Thez <whooof> gags his mouth and he collapses in a heap, while Fae provides support. "He's unusually strong for his size," Fae comments.
>>32506 With the elf subdued, Trump can get a better look at the place. Its essentially a corridor, made of metal like seen before. On either side of the corridor are placed the same sorts of cylindrical devices, which he can see have organsms (mostly human/humanoid) that are suspended motionless in liquid. As the hallway progresses further, larger and larger tanks hold increasingly sized creatures, including - at the end of the hallway and adjacent to a stairwell, a cloud giant in the largest.
>>32508 It's established that the largest creature is a Cloud giant. What about the remainder of the creatures? Are they essentially the same as the creatures seen at the walls?
>>32512 >>32513 The only thing not nailed down is the elf-guy's clipboard. Beyond the door, several individuals are engaged in conversation. Its impossible to make out what they're saying.
>>32512 Don't. It would take forever, you could expose a steam line, and the creatures in the tubes or liquids going in and out could be very dangerous.
You got your loot from the Hax item creation. Be satisfied with it and don't risk fucking over the whole party
>>32517 <whoooof> "There's more beyond the door. They seem somewhat occupied, but if we're going to interrogate this guy we should take him back outside." >>32518 And then Tracy does this.
>>32518 Please describe briefly the process of sabotaging the machines. The buttons are attached, and there's no levers to be removed. It IS susceptible to breaks at several points (along tubes, glass, circuitry, etc.).
Why don't we wait on the other side of the door and just stab them as they come through? >>32521 Nevermind that, I was mostly shitposting, but she wouldn't do something like that if she was in a hurry. Snip-snip any visible wires, to cause problems for the next guy coming.
>>32524 K, there are some exposed wires that can be cut. So while Tracy is doing that, Thez, Trump, Fae, and Torcuil haul elf-guy into the next room. He's definitely not casting a shadow, it wasn't just a trick of the light.
>>32524 That's how I wanted to do this guy. But I think Tracy's evil alignment/lack of code/intimidation makes her helpful in interrogating this half-elf.
>>32525 A vampire? Tracy follows the group and waits by the door, preparing to ambush the first guy who walks through. >>32526 Paladins are responsible for all of the actions if their cohorts, but we diverge.
>>32528 Yeah, I know he's not really permitted to be around her at all, and there is a reason I had him try to kill her a few times. Just go with this fiction
>>32529 Pulls out Kefka's head from the bag, and displays it to the Elf "I am above the Court"
>>32528 A vampire, from up close the smell of death is unmistakable. "Tracy, the round bottle," Thez says. >>32531 The vampire seems unimpressed. "I don't know how you got in, but you'll make a fine addition to the gallery," he says with a sinister grin.
>>32533 Really? I was going to ask earlier if it was against Paladin code to deliberately wait for a small pregnant woman to make the first move into an area of danger, and if it mattered that he was engaged to her and that was his unborn child I'm not a very good Paladin...
>>32535 Idk if it's explicitly against code, but letting your pregnant waifu do the dirty work isn'rt exactly exemplary behavior... We forgive you though.
>>32537 They need to know you are willing to hurt them though. The only serious issue here is that would cause any living creature to bleed to death in a couple minutes
Thez takes the bottle and opens it, pointing the top toward the vampire. The bottle dribbles slightly, but does not empty. As Tracy finishes cutting through the vampire's feet it struggles against the ropes. "You've made a grave mistake that you shall spend a lifetime in oblvion for!" V> Gaseous form The vampire fades into a thick greenish cloud, no longer held in place by ropes (or physical form for that matter). Thez> "Wave" A huge gout of water like a fire hydrant envelops the now gaseous vampire, splashing him to the ground over against a wall. The greenish puddle wriggles a bit, but the gaseous vampire seems unable to escape from the water. A few moments later, the vampire reforms into a physical body (now neked). He's hissing like mad now. Thez looks looks at everyone. "Not my first vampire."
>>32546 "Tracy, I get that you are le ebin ebil or whatever, but please, be smart about it. Think about the consequences your actions could have before doing them"
>>32545 Success. He's now bundled in the corner, with no feet (and soon no hands), neked, soaking wet, and really pissed off. "I recommend Cure Light Wounds if you want to squeeze info out of him,... restorative spells - especially from a holy spellcaster - are particularly 'motivating' for undead."
>>32540 >Dirty work I mean, I fully intended to try to take the kills and do the most damage, I just mean she is the one who gets hit by the opponent's attack round
>>32550 "Next time, make sure it won't bleed to death first"
>>32556 That reminds me. Did Torcuil ever wash off the writing Thez did on his face? Way back when he was in a coma? I don't think he ever did. Torcuil has a penis on his face, along with ridiculous anime-eyes.
>>32555 "We just want to know who you are, what is going on here, what gallery you are talking about, what the court has to do with this... Actually, we want to know pretty much everything that is going on here"
>>32554 That's why I had to stop and think about doing it first
>>32559 Like, he has the whole time. Adjusting brain-canon >>32558 "I work here, this is the resource wing. The gallery, well thats what those machines are in the next room. This is the Court City, the whole operation is at the behest of the court!" >>32560 At this he looks at you confused. "This is a joke right?" He glances back the way you first came in.
>>32564 "It is,... was,... it was north back when GM was still being a faggot and going "hurr, north is down" but then later said "Fug it, can we just have south be down?" he replies in an out-of-character, almost apologetic tone. >>32566 There's a longsword and some armor among the pile of clothes. "Keep? Only a fool would leave their weapons out of reach."
>>32568 Its a damn good thing vampires have fast healing. Sheesh. >>32569 "I run the machines. The machines extract blood from subjects. This is the main facility of the vampire (faction) blood harvesting operation."
>>32578 "I want my child to be born healthy, be able to live a normal life, have no deformations or mutations, and be able to be accepted by his peers. If you want to mutate yourself into... I have no idea what, you can leave me after the child is born and do whatever to your body"
>>32577 I said fast healing, not fast regeneration. The wounds close, not regrow. The clipboard contains a very neat and itemized chart indicating approximately 17 different creatures including the Cloud giant, litres of blood per hour, notes, etc. The heading indicates "Court City Blood Harvest Audit" "The specimens are taken from wherever they can be found without disrupting the established hierarchies. I'm not much in the loop on that." Thez gets pissed and places her heel inside his jaw. "The bull, you never answered the question about the bull." "Hmmmhmmmmhhrhrrrrrr." Thez removes her heel. "He was taken that way (back the way the party originally came) and further into the structure."
>>32579 "I'm not looking for any mutations, just supplements. It's got everything the body needs. Just ask pasty over there." she says, gesturing towards the bleeding, butt-naked vampire.
>>32583 Trumpaladin gives a look like he's clearly uncomfortable with this and is also unconvinced, but figures if he can prevent his child from looking like a Chernobyl birth because of the mother's carelessness, he'll be fine
>>32583 "Thats true, blood is the most nutritious natural fluid." >Alarm "Oh fug." >>32584 >kills As Trump slices it, it again assumes gaseous form, which Thez again douses with water. "We don't have time to kill it, damn things are like cockroaches." >>32585 There's people in the Gallery room, one of them is approaching the door to the dino room, agitatedly saying "That motherfucker better not have gone to sleep again."
>>32589 Trumpaladin goes to the door onto its side, and readies an attack on whatever comes through as it comes through. Fae is ordered to do the same on the other side
>>32590 Scratch that second action, just get ready to sneak attack the goy who goes through the door. Draw Assassin's dagger and sword, whilst setting auto-chain loose
>>32590 He doesn't become physical again. No jawbone for you. >>32592 A familiar faced, but this time much paler fellow kicks the door open, yelling "God dammit John, where the fuck did you run off to?!" Since she hadn't really thought about it, Thez is just sorta standing there in the open. This serves its purpose of distracting the new entry though, and as Trump and Tracy let him have it Thez says "Hi Barry!"
For the record, sneak attacks don't require a die roll, they require the person on the receiving end to reflex save. And he ebin failed. Assuming Tracy didn't kill him, Trump sure as hell did, and vamp-barry is now a puddle-vampire as well, Thez keeping the bottle handy. >>32603 I decided it was a good day for Barry to die,... again.
>>32597 "Thats sweet, but no way am I eating vampire face. Thats how you get the AIDS. In any case, we know which way to go now. These fucks are stuck in this form until the water evaporates, so we don't have to worry about them following us or raising an alarm." She says as alarms are still going off in the Gallery room. >>32601 This Barry is a vampire. Don't worry, there'll be lots of Barry's, as well as others whom GM works with. >>32610 You're in an L-shaped room with 2 dead velociraptors, and two greenish puddles of water at intervals. There is an annoying alarm sound coming from one direction, and Thez is already headed in the other. Court City is where the party was following the I'nis Compass to, except that no one had ever been there and its not like anyone knocked on the door and asked "Where is this". Xp
>>32604 Okay, I see. DC10 + Assassin Level plus int modifier, though I want to note that it requires three rounds of study so waiting to do it to someone coming through a door would not allow a death attack, though it would allow a sneak attack
>>32611 >That's how you get AIDS THANK YOU! Someone else finally noticed how dangerous eating random shit is
*Follows Thez to where ever she takes hims
>>32612 That would make a wonderful purse, but I'm afraid that would take several minutes and we don't have the time
>>32614 Fair point, I'll not make that mistake again. >>32615 >>32616 Upon getting the bodies outside, Thez <whoooof>'s one away,.... <whooof>'s back,... and then <whooooof>'s the other one away,... before <whoooof> returning. "There. They're outside the city wall, if you want to retrieve or resource them later." >>32620 >>32358 Vampire-elf-guy just revealed that the door (8) at the end of the path that Red 7 is on is the door that the party wants to go to find Infernius. Considering the available options, the party bypassed a whole lot of crawling and fighting, not to mention back-tracking and shit. It wasn't a perfect choice, but it was damn near.
