>>34469 SPURS HORSE "If you stand still, then you will only cover an area of 2830 square feet a round, and it will be the smae 2830 feet the next round, and the next round, and the next round. If you move forward at half speed, you'll cover a much larger area AND IT WILL ACTUALLY BE A DIFFERENT SET OF DARKNESS EACH ROUND"
Alright, so the (active) party is currently galavanting on the Ethereal Plane which is ahem a misty, fog-bound dimension. Its collection of swirling mists and colorful fogs that border the material plane, which is visible but muted and indistinct. The colors blur into eachother and the edges turn fuzzy. The area is mostly empty of structures and impediments, and there is no gravity making movement difficult to those without self-propulsion (wings, for example).
>>34479 Kek, that reminds me of my paintballing days >>34480 Yes >>34476 Several in number, moving fast, and distant >>34481 >listening and spotting on the ethereal plane WEW!
>>34484 Uhm,... frogs appear in the surrounding area, not falling to the ground as would be normal, but just floating in the air with a confused (for a frog) expression on their face. Frog swarm does not propel.
>>34483 b-b-b muh 20... >several Fug Hone in on aura using telepathy and Ready self for combat. Approach cautiously Cast True Strike, and share it with Trumpaladin. >>34484 TOPKEK >>34485 Aww.. >>34487 Looking for something to kill
>>34482 Oh fine, you see darting shapes in the distance moving at high speed. They're moving too fast to make anything out but a blurred face, which appears haggard and lanky, with green skin covering.
>>34494 It varies. Lots are squishy, some are decent, a handful are stronk, and there's a bit of mustard in the mix. >>34496 Oh they've detected the group, and are flying around at range.
>>34497 >prepare to engage If we're going up against soul suckers I want to know so I can cast the spell, and if we are not, I want to wait, so it isn't dried up one minute before we encounter soul suckers
>>34508 What kinda acid was he taking? Torcuil flies off, a stream of leprechauns flying out his ass. "Well fug," Thez says, and takes off after him. "DO you even know which way they went?" she calls after as he continues to fly, propelled by leprechauns. Leprechauns. Seriously? Oi.
>>34520 Stand still and wait for them to come? Charge them? Go closer and shoot with bow? Should I ready a bow or a sword? Should I cast death ward or some other spell or wait?
>>34521 fukking kek Well, my my calculations (and thats per a dice roll, since Torcuil TOTALLY moffed his control check (not that he got one for ass-leprechauns)) Torcuil is heading in a completely different direction than Trump and Tracy, and he has no control. Thez is keeping pace. >>34526 You can shoot, in fact range rules are less applicable,... but its almost like the moving shapes know that too. They're maintaining a perimeter, analyzing the pair. There are some watching the flying-leprechaun-scotsman, but thats more from disbelief and curiosity than aggressive strategy.
[1d20-8 = -8] >>34529 This shit writes its self So Torcuil continues to shoot off, propelled by ass-leprechauns, well distant from Tracy and Trump (who seem to have become stationary). Thez is close behind. >>34531 >No manyshot feat Trump fires a single arrow, at an elusive target, that is moving, and is partially obscured.
>>34540 That'll work >>34541 The leprechauns are long gone, and went in a completely different direction. Remember, Tracy sped off - spurred by Trump's "Chad charge" - before Thez and Torcuil even GOT to the ethereal plane, and they went in a different direction. Good move btw.
>>34539 Is it not? Spirited Charge. Make 3 ride by attacks when in range. I suggest Trump does the same. >>34542 OR We could meet up with the rest of the group... Let's do that.
>>34544 >when in range Okay, I'll let you know >>34545 >sarcasm Yes Uhm,... spoiler alert, these enemies aren't going to LET you get in range Hold on, I'll paint a picture.
This is a rough sketch of the inherent trajectories. As you can see (given the time differential) neither group (Trump/Tracy OR Torcuil/Thez) had the chance to really analyze where the other was going. Each pair is kinda on their own at this point. >>34551 'Night! You won't die, Thez is with you.
>>34549 The chain is 60 ft, and she charges fast. How fast are these things moving? >>34554 >hellhound >ethereal Anything with the ability, I guess... >>34556 Shouldn't Trump be able to detect Thez because her class ability designates her as an Outsider?
>>34554 Lots of things, and even more venture to it. >>34553 You might be surprised >>34550 There are approximately 16 signatures, of varying intensity. The stronger intensity signatures are more distant and stationary, while the less intense signatures seem to be the ones whirling around and darting to and fro.
>>34557 >Something about hellhounds obviously not being ethereal Nigger I have no idea what is on the ethereal plane. I don't want to be here. I'd rather advance towards a group goal like killing off the Cardishore Globalists or interrogating Darkie, going to the Drow, murdering them all, and then taking their stuff. Or if you want to go hunt random monsters, go north or far to the east to kill dragons, which leave 3x treausure, unlike Devourers that leave none at all. If you want to kill something on the Ethereal plane, find something and kill it
>>34559 A couple masters with controlled fiends I'll bet
>>34572 >>34571 Both materialize,... alive,... on the golden X in pic relted. For the record, you would have both died, have woken up in the entertron, with no equipment. You're welcome.
>>34575 I'll repeat what I said to Tracy's faggot to you ">Something about hellhounds obviously not being ethereal Nigger I have no idea what is on the ethereal plane. I don't want to be here. I'd rather advance towards a group goal like killing off the Cardishore Globalists or interrogating Darkie, going to the Drow, murdering them all, and then taking their stuff. Or if you want to go hunt random monsters, go north or far to the east to kill dragons, which leave 3x treasure, unlike Devourers that leave none at all. If you want to kill something on the Ethereal plane, find something and kill it"
>>34582 See, here we're in a pickle. The rules listed by Ethereal Jaunt describe an individual who is otherwise non-ethereal, moving at base speed. When one considers that Tracy was spurred, she can be assumed to be moving at greater than 'base' speed. In addition, I disagree entirely with the rulebook on movement speed in the ethereal plane, with regard to self-propulsion, which Tracy has. I'm of the mind that self-propelled characters/entities - given that there are no obstructions or landscape to deter - would move at twice their base movement rate.
>>34597 You said a few posts ago that wings work. They wouldn't do anything with no air resistance. But whatever, I'll argue about this when it becomes an issue later
I hadn't planned it, but for now the party's biggest issue is finding their way back to Port Barry >>34598 Hmmm, you're right, thats contradictory. One moment
>>34601 Well, if we encounter a dragon, and it is small enough to kill, then we can take it's treasure. I think a lot of monsters and barbarians give treasure. You wanted to grind xp, well, you're in precisely the right place to do it
>>34604 You got like a 140 HP don't you? I think we could take on up to a full adult. And if we encounter something larger... you can move at 3x speed right? If nothing else, Ethereal Jaunt
K. Trump is right, wings would not work. Since however, no one is using wings (or air resistence) as a propulsion method, its a moot point. The 2x speed is still in play, and Torcuil and Thez will find themselves approximately 166% the distance Trump and Tracy crossed, except to the east rather than the north.
>>34611 Seriously, I had to check the script to make sure that wasn't a 1d1 troll. >>34615 There might be, you'll have to wait until you're not ~150 miles away to check tho. ^_~
>>34618 It wasn't the speed that would have done you in, it was the opponents and their methods. Some opponents do and will make it a practice to kill things much bigger and badder than them
>>34619 If it's any compensation, that shit was fucking hilarious. >>34620 I wonder what they were... Idk what kind of creature moves faster than Tracy and can use Ethereal juant.. Oh well, time will tell.
>>34621 I won't spoil it, they'll be back eventually, but they didn't use ethereal jaunt. They made their way to the ethereal plane from another plane (not the material). Also it wasn't that they move faster (they don't) but they were maintaining a distanced formation. They were sizing you up.
>>34630 For simplicity, yes, though they may have more colloquial names when ventured to, and don't assume that the name necessarily correlates to the dynamic and local structure (though it may). Also, there are no names on the world, so technically that info is not known to characters
>>34636 No, much as those mini-memes made me kek >>34638 It certainly wasn't planned, but it will (hopefully) be resolved before too long (which with this lot, means next tuesday Xp)
>>34641 *hugs horsey again* "Of course. I am happy to see you, I miss you when you're away. I love the feel of your soft blue fur and I love your adorable pony noises and jump scares. I see how devoted you are. You'll make a great mother to my son, I'm glad he has you. I'm glad I have you"
>>34644 *tries to look into horsey eyes, or at least eye from the angle* *rubs horsey neck fur* "You feel better? Well that's not enough for me.What can I do to make you feel complete?"
>>34647 "Oh good god. What do you want? Decided to amuse yourself at my expense ay? he gets more cockney when he's agitated Well go on then, its not like I've got anything better to do." >>34648 kek
>>34650 You mean aside from the maps? I'm assuming you're at an elevated position, so more ground-based details depend on getting a closer look. It's at the border of a mountainous area and a plains area with some not too distant forest.
>>34648 I'll help her kill Trollestia if she's not pregnant. My loyal attack football kitty is entirely off the table though "I do want you to be happy, little pony"
>>34653 "Oh what, you leave a man in a steel body-cast and you expect poupurri? Suddenly you're concerned about my well being is it? If you're not here to let me out, be a good lad and sod off!"
[1d20+20 = 27] >>34652 Better do it before bothering to find out. It's all going down the tubes if that's the case. >>34654 *descends slowly and stealthily as possible* (for a horse in mid air) Roll to Move Silently
[1d20+20 = 29] Hey, when it says that Empathetic link gives the paladin and the mount the same connection to a place or item, does that also apply to worn items? When Tracy wears her cloak of charisma, does Trump look Equally fabulous by proxy?
>>34657 "Oh, you're a right prick now aren't you, all pleased with yourself. You wouldn't be smiling if we the shackles were off, I'll tell ya that!" >>34658 No
>>34656 Wha... "Why stealth? The last time we used stealth we failed to activate a dragon attack we could have taken. How are we going to clear the area of monsters if they don't know we're here?"
>>34658 Now what does she need that cloak for? *sad paladin noises*
[1d20+21 = 40] >>34661 She was going to give it to him, but then you asked for a Spell resistance cloak. How does the item-synch work then? >>34661 >Why stealth "I don't want to get shot before engaging" Listen check to sense nearby creatures.
>>34661 >How are we going to clear the area of monsters if they don't know we're here "We'll make noise once we're ready for combat." They could both make mounted Sneak Attacks together, if he fell.
[2d20 = 18] >>34659 If you want to get back to interrogate the Drow right now, I've figured out several different ways of using the helm that I think I can argue that would get us there in one or two jumps
>>34663 I'd like some numbers on these cloaks. Depending on stats and the like, it may make sense to switch. What is she wearing in the robe cloak category?
>>34655 Detect evil. Spot Check. Search Check for anything civilizational
>>34662 "Oh a comedian now are you, here to have a laugh? If you're expecting me to beg I won't. I just hope I get a crack at your cheeky ass at some point." >>34663 >item-synch It means that divination, or other types of items are and can be shared (visual-empathy). Please note, the rules were not designed for character-based-awakened-pony-cauchemar-murderer-paladin-mounts. >>34669 It would take more than that, but it would help speed your return,... except you have no compass, and the area is unfamiliar, meaning you can't be sure which way is 'back'.
[1d20 = 19] >>34672 So where does horsey want to go?
>>34671 I don't think the teleportation spell requires much more knowledge than knowledge of the destination, but I'll argue that when I want to use it.
Does a search check show anything civilization-related anywhere in sight? Rolling again because he'd do this for minutes
>>34674 Wrong helm, and I bet it would if he managed to fail a will saving throw
>>34675 "Oh, well, look who's had a gander about the building! Isn't he special? You think I don't fukkin' know that already? You think you lot are the first to venture about this place?
>>34681 While we have Drow to fight and an impending war against the Cardishore/Court alliance? With no food, chopsticks, and I am not sure I got the sword and girdle back? Okay...
>>34692 Kek. Remember when you posted that "what do you need 200 pigeons for" screencap? If we had a homing pidgeon, we could follow it home, or at least send a message back.
>>34698 >Implying I can't do both at the same time
>>34700 Eh, we'll see what to do with the settlement once we know its essential character. I feel like I need more humans. More of them to work in the mines and factories, more to buy my products, and more to rule over
>>34701 You already burned down a city and killed a source of mine workers. You also caged an entire village. Hush
Whew, heaven hasn't fallen who here gets that joke? so back to the races! >>34679 "Oh well shit, I guess I'd better shape up or I might be in store for some right adversity! Did you have a question unicorn?" >>34685 You find yourself on a beach. Thez is nearby, trying to find her bearings. >>34703 Anything from true neutral to chaotic evil >>34704 >village I'd forgotten about that
>>34714 So... Um... what do Trumcy see? I think Tracy is specifically looking for living things, and Trumpaladin is looking for roads, houses, wells, ruins, or freaking anything besides nature
>>34718 The climate is a bit colder but not terribly so. There is more wildlife in the area flitting about, and observably more birds. Its not terribly different than the Port Barry area, but it seems less travelled. Instead of roads here are small trails (mostly animal) and the apparently human transit routes show a lack of carriage/coach wheels, just foot/hoof prints. The squaking of birds can be heard from tall grass nearby, and the general scene seems like people don't visit often. >>34720 Out of curiosity, where did he get shrooms? Asking for a friend. Seriously though, I shouldn't allow that,... but I will
>>34723 *pets horsey* "Alright Tracy, I think the generals will be expecting me back, but if we're honest, I think Fae can handle it. I can stay out a while longer here with you.
So tell me, where do you want to go? Do you want to go into the plains? Do you want to venture into the mountains? Do you want to venture into the forest? Personally, I've seen enough damned trees over the course of two lifetimes to last me plenty more, but I'll go where you want. I may be able to get us directly home - now even - though I cannot be sure"
>>34726 "I am going to recommend you just walk on hoof. You'll be a lot harder to see if you're on the ground, and you'll look like a horse. Not a UFO"
>>34726 Not immediately, no. It curls in one direction and the opposite, coming near to the base of the mountainside at one point, while leading back along/into the forest at both ends.
>>34731 I think anything interesting is too far away, but sure. The odds that this pathway is anything other than a hunting trail is slim, but if there's a spot where offerings are left to a dragon, it's where the trail meets the base of the mountain.
Trumpaladin uses the hat of disguise to disguise himself as a farmer. He recommends horsey try to hide her power levels and instead look like a normal if somewhat blue horse https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq-jXeNnCcI
I'll just go ahead and tell you my general strategy: Hide our power levels so that opponents are foolish enough to attack us if that is their inclination, then we come out in full force and kill them. Unless they are bigger than us after all, then we hit a panic button (ethereal Jaunt, teleport, or just run/fly like hell) and leave
>>34747 Well, when we first encountered her she was speaking to Trumpaladin (and Tracy heard it). And frankly she speaks like she's more intelligent than most. She's definitely talked to Trumpaladin since then, and I know she directed words to Slovenia, though it isn't clear they were returned. I think the "speak the same language as familiar" thing is a specifically blackguard feature than kicks in at high levels. I think she couldn't speak to Trumpaladin except through speaking Common
I'm not ignoring you guys or thread, but today is kinda busy/involved for me. I'll try and keep an eye on things, but occasional lurking is the best I can offer. >>34754 Blown
>>34760 D'aww! That's super cute *rubs horsey head*
>>34648 Why you wanna kill Trollestia though? Just look at the entry for Celestial Chargers. These things are OP as fuck. Like I'd love to have one as a mount. Even without Paladin's Mount buffs it beats out buffed up Fae in most aspects and even beats a Cauchemar in overall utility. Like damn, this is a strong magical beast. I want to ride her.
Also, I think I finally found the keyto unlocking her and making her do what I want her to.
>>34764 >Why you wanna kill Trollestia I don't care; I'm trying to stay in character. Why would she let Troll get away with that if she killed Copper over a single ride? She's not just going to do-nothing like a powerless cuck.
>>34778 I've always had Trumpaladin respond as if he thought her behavior to be a charade. Like she was hiding some deeper malevolence
>>34780 That's an... interesting image. I think maybe you may want to consider trying to make some of your own Tracy art. She doesn't get much new art on Derpibooru... \r
Well, I have shit to do in the morning, and nothing really seems to be happening so I'm calling it a night. Also, I leave an idea for GM. So, say you get GMs block and can't think of an idea for a session. Let one of us faggots have a turn at GMing. It would give you a chance to just kinda play Thez and enjoy the game without dealing with GM shit, and give us a chance at GMing. Or am I just stupid and this idea is terrible?
>>34793 Ah, nevermind. It seems like the Unhallow just follows the skull wherever it goes. No cool field spells either, but swank for an ebil character to carry. Do Ebil creatures or Fiends get any profane bonuses in unhallowed sites?
>>34796 Oh don't feel so down. It's the last verse that makes me think of her
"She runs into the hallway and through the bedroom door She reaches for the pistol in the bottom dresser drawer The lady in the mirror says "he won't do this again. This will be the last time I'll wonder where he's been"
>>34801 Don't kill off my future customers, workers, and subjects. We don't even have enough humans to work the mine in Derpistan I asked you to stab Torcuil that one time >how squishy and poor they are What if they are tough?
>>34801 Like, a constant supply of targets.. I wish the settlements of port barry weren't so far off... I guess that's what stealth is for. >>34802 >What if they are tough She'll stab anything she can.
I've been abusing her for a while now.. there's been way too much dere and not enough yan.
>>34803 Please don't provoke shit for the sake of it. I've been abusing Trumpaladin as well with not enough holy crusading
Let's just kill dragons and bandits and giants together and take their shit, then kill the globalists and take their shit, and leave the peasants alive to prostrate themselves before us
>>34803 ... What have I been doing all this time.. killing just one pathetuc fuck a month, like a serial killer. Tracy should be murdering every other day, minimum...
GM, where can Tracy go to kill things on a regular basis without causing drama?
>>34806 I mean like, how do I incorporate her picking someone off every day? Do I need to stalk an NPC, kill it, clean up, etc with all separate rolls? I don't want to take a whole session to express a hobby.
>>34790 Not opposed if anyone wants to desu >>34795 Ebil, yes >>34808 Depending on the target, yes. Are you looking to randomly kill something, or are you looking to find people who Tracy would want to kill? Both?
>>34810 Nigger, a Paladin is supposed to kill evil monsters and murderers, and so are chaotic good wizards and clerics. Jesus it's hard to maintain this party. We have enough vampires and drow and globalists and so forth to last her months
>>34811 Both. Although in a way that won't cause drama later (combine stealth with layers of disguise). Mostly basic mugging and serial murder, but it could be directed towards NPCs who may "deserve" it. I realized that she's spend way too much time sitting indoors doing arts and crafts and whatnot. She's Tracy: murder is her hobby. I want to own this Neutral Ebil Alignment and start killing for the sake of killing. Now that I've been liberated from those god awful flowcharts, I can actually play Tracy. >>34812 Don't worry, she'll have time to kill those too.
>>34815 He has the ring shield. He'll need some feats to be able to wield a tower shield alongside Vanderiem. Frankly though, I like the +3 damage I get from from wielding the sword two handed. I need all the damage modifiers I can get
>>34816 >>33650 → >>33665 → GM, I'm fascinated on what went down in the fight on the catwalk. It's exactly the sort of fight I have been thinking about and planning for and adjusting strategies for, and it's also the best use of Fae in action I've been able to do so far.
As I understand it, Tracy was holding a small-sized Trumpaladin in a complete pin, while the other characters where standing around within range to take action.
Fae charges, and using her pounce feat, makes a full round attack with bite, claw, and claw on Torcuil. Toruil's AC is sufficiently low (like a 15?) that all three attacks would have landed. I calculated damage at 37, although I see now that I mistakenly applied more than the full share of strength modifiers, and the real number should have been 29 to 30ish. I do not know Torcuil's HP, but I think it is 16d4 with no constitution or racial modifier, so about 40. If that is so, he would have lost around 75% of his HP in a single round
After Fae made her attack, Infernius attacked Fae with the scimitar. He rolled a 7, so my guess is that the attack would not have beat Fae's AC, which should be 28 assuming that Thez did not craft and fit her with a light suit of armor as requested (if yes, then a 32).Torcuil himself spent his round to try to make a concentration check to cast a spell, which seems to have failed
For reasons that will eternally puzzle me, Torcuil chose to have his familiar, the constrictor, attack the disabled and pinned Trumpaladin, rather than attack Fae, who was right there and just took down 75% of his HP.
Then the next round began, and Fae made a full round attack. It seemed like every attack landed, with the last one being a 20 and thus to be rolled again for a critical hit. That should have killed him. So if that fight went as I thought it did, Torcuil would have died in it
>>34818 That seems about right. I don't recall the request for armor for Fae though, I must have missed that. And where did Infernius get a scimitar from?
>>34813 Also, can this be her default Training? To practice Feats like Improved Death Attack, Great Dexterity, Sneak Attack of Opportunity or whatnot? In the beginning, I had her throwing her kunai at walls and shit as her default "training" pass-time, but I never even considered she could learn feats from it Also, since Tracy can use her mouth to hold weapons, is she viable for the multi-weapon fighting feat? >>34817 Use the goddamn shield.
>>34819 My guess is that Infernius meant to imply that he took Death's Scimitar and attacked with it. I believe it should have been in Torcuil's possession. Mmade he handed it to Infernius, I do not know.
Actually, I'm pretty sure he gave it back to Death. Eh. Infernius said he attacked fae with it
As for armoring Fae, can I get the equivalent of a Chain Mail Shirt (+4 AC light armor)? Preferably whatever looks best aesthetically. Are there other things you can put on a mount?
>>34820 Use the freaking room in the tower that is built for this, carries zero risk, and doesn't require my character breaking off the engagement and killing yours when he eventually finds out
>>34821 I asked him who snek grappled, and he said snek grappled me. Not Fae. Me
>>34822 >>34822 >when he eventually finds out Tracy knows how to clean up after herself. Just don't actively go looking for it. Anyway, there shouldn't be an NPC in Port Barry capable of out-rolling her in Disguise. >>34822 >I asked him who snek grappled Before you b& everyone.. >>34819 Also, what the AC on Tracy's armor? The slick motorcycle suit was omitted, so what's she actually wearing? I thought I ditched the hydra/skull armor in her room to preserve speed.
>>34823 Oh bullshit. Like it won't be entirely obvious who is responsible when a person is murdered every other night. This will be as secret as my sex with Trollestia
>>34823 >Just don't actively go looking for it. He's the white knight protector of the citizens of Port Barry. Going and looking for who is killing his sheep is literally and unironically his job
>>34822 >chainmail Yes. You can also enchant it if you'd like. Also yes, Torcuil gave the scythe back to death. >holodeck murder Can't it be this TF Tracy's faggot? Then you can custom design the scene. In fact, you can kill Trollestia as many times as you want without actually doing so, just by using it. >>34823 Did you? I neglected to recall if you had. >>34824 This
>>34826 >without actually doing so There's little point then, but could simulating dozens of times give her a competence bonus? Can I enchant a suit of light armor for Tracy?
>>34827 Infernuis's Police do. That's their job. But that's not the real danger. If seven people go missing in a town of 2000 people, that's headline news. Sechs will tell trumpaladin or someone will. Or he'll overhear an unusual number of "desertions" of ship crews and figure it out, or he'll call tracy and she's out, or she'll leave behind a body, or Jesus, pick any number of things that can go wrong.
If Tracy can fucking "smell semen" off of a horse that should have it inside of her, then Infernius's Gestapo can solve a crime
>>34829 Well, for combat techniques (cuz, beating a practice dummy, even one that's got a dead guy roped to it) only live fighting will suffice. Thats why ordinarily you only get feats on a per 3 or 4 level basis, its assumed that you had developed the ability during the previous combat scenarios that led to the xp/level. What I'm saying is, I'll allow that the holodeck can simulate opponents effectively enough to develop feats, but you don't get any experience. Just go with it. >>34833 You make a valid point, especially with pirates (oh what, you thought Korak was the only one?)
>>34833 >>34834 So? If more "sailors desert" than historical average, it'll be noticed. especially if you want what, to kill every other day? So like 150 per year in a town of 2000 with a few traders passing through? No way in hell that would go unnoticed. And she'd have to hide every single body perfectly. One is found by a fisherman or farmer or hunter or hooker or who knows what and it's easy to image who done it
>>34838 >all this meta Why you gotta know? Aren't I allowed to have secrets? >cries and runs away slamming the door. Kek no. >>34841 Its a local population of ~2000. There have been more and more people in and out over time, especially with all the buildings and architecture, increased commerce, not to mention the stadium - or the dog/kefka killing - and Football in particular. Port Barry is poppin' off these days.
>>34842 Nigger, the coming of Korak's ship was a big deal. I've asked repeatedly whom Port barry does business with, and you've given answers that indicate little naval traffic. You've also stated no new wares have been imported in many of the shops. No, there is not heavy traffic, and you are being inconsistent by saying it is here and not in the other times I asked. And if there were, it would still be noticed because the numbers are low enough that seven or ten or a hundred is a big number
>>34839 You don't roll for scent. I maxed-out all of her stealth-related skills. >>34841 You don't think a nest of pirates would involve someone getting stabbed or disappearing on a weekly basis? Korak was able to run a human-trafficking business under everyone's noses. Heck, with a good Gather Information, Disguise, and Blufff check, she could disguise herself as members of opposing pirate factions and start pirate mafia wars. That'll be interesting, and could create sufficient cover for her shenanigans.
>>34846 You think a dozen plus fishing accidents wouldn't look weird? Ddo you think she'd never roll a one? No one would ever find a body with a stab wound?
>>34845 No, Korak's business was discovered by Torcuil and Trollestia within six hours of him arriving in the Harbor. Infernius has expressed an intent to use the gestapo to crush all piracy
>>34843 Hmmmm. You're giving me ideas. >>34844 No new wears inventory wise, and not of the quality you're talking. There's basic, unalterable swords and general equipment available, but there aren't any Ridicular the Mighty Spear of Killing Anyone no Saving Throw-type things showing up, no. >traffic There wasn't then. Oh, look now, there it is. Deal with it. Hey, if you can delete posts and ban people, I gotta flex my abilities ^_~
>>34844 >there is not heavy traffic It's a port. All the supplies we ever need comes in days. There has to be heavy traffic. >>34847 I'll try my luck. >>34848 He'd been doing it for years.
>>34853 >enable He just said there's heavy traffic so it's less likely for people to notice if some worthless pirate goes missing. How does that enable drama/conflict?
>>34853 I'm enabling the party to choose to act in a manner that is non-conducive to successful party relations, or choose to work together and make compromises where behavior would otherwise burn this motherfucker down. I'd much prefer the latter desu.
>>34856 Alright, but this is burn the motherfucker down acting if any of the Three good aligned characters finds out. And if we've learned anything, we love to metagame, so they will find out, so Tracy's getting divorced and a bunch of far worse things.
>>34857 >if any of the Three good aligned characters finds out They won't. The most you could hear about is "some pirates got in a fight and stabbed each other, again". Don't read into it too much.
>>34858 Bullshit. The moment Infernius and Torcuil hear "pirate" they'll go crazy because they hate pirates, launch an investigation and... low and behold, Tracy is prime suspect. She is divorced by means of a sword
If meta is inevitable, don't bring it weak. You're still 150 miles away. That's no less than a 4 hour flight back, assuming you can even figure out which way to go, and the mercenaries aren't looking to do any deals with Trump to begin with.
Also, I'm having a hard time figuring out what kind of creature she can 1-shot with a sneak attack. Her Sneak Attack is 8d6, but actually haven't had very many chances to use it to see how lethal it is. How can determine what kind I creature (hit-dice wise) that she can kill or cripple with her first attack?
>>34871 "You were loyal to him. He's dead. Now I am here, and forgive my lack of modesty, but I'm a better businessman than he is. You'll make more under me"
>>34872 If we find bandits/highwaymen while away that may count. Maybe wolves also
>>34869 >mercenaries aren't looking to do any deals with Trump to begin with Is that due to the code for cohorts, or do pirates just generally dislike working for Paladins?
>>34875 "Just some random guy who might be at a bar somewhere, and nobody else." turns back to his drink. Just a random dialogue that might have happened at some point.
>>34897 Oh, so she has to stay in monstrous form while mounted? It doesn't just require a Control Shape check to evade involuntary transformation? Alright then, noted for the future. Also, to fake death, does that require a Bluff check or a perform check?
>>34901 Why would Thez have intervened to save Torcuil, but she didn't give a shit when he shot me, and a while ago, when I asked Thez "can you please stop Torcuil from coming to kill me" she basically responded "don't be afraid of death you coward"?
>>34901 Can a player make itself appear dead with a bluff check. I was exhausted, so I had the shitty idea to use her +19 Bluff check to play possum, since a nightmare's flames go out when it dies. It's a retarded idea. I need to sleep... Can her glasses create an illusion that overshadows the illumination affect?
>>34906 Being mounted turns her into +1600 pounds of pure sex; she'd have to roll every turn to avoid involuntary transformation, like a werewolf, apparently.
>>34907 >+1600 pounds of pure sex Okay, that made me laugh for a solid minute. I remember going through the old threads and seeing "1200 pounds of pure sex" and that was hilarious as well
>>34909 So can she not turn fire and smoke off while riding her?
>>34909 A psychosomatic change seems appropriate. It implies that she has the latent power to take that form, but just doesn't have any idea how to use it unless she's in the mood. >Didn't sleep
>>34912 You're implying that a Divegrass playing Fiend is channeling football energy? Nah, i'd say it's just that she discovers the necessary excitement to attain a complete transformation.
>>34913 Hardly. Tracy is an evil of the sort that needs to be either Destroyed or in someway harnessed and controlled. Destruction was not possible or at least not desirable under the circumstances, so a creative method of harnessing is used - make her a paldin's mount, which makes full use of the Jew powers and adds in Elway powers as well
>>34915 >Jew powers It wasn't all Jewish power. Half of that was Thez's blood too. I made a point of having her take both beakers so she would be neither lawful nor Chaotic from it (because nightmares are neutral), and instead find her create her own form of ebil.
>>34920 Thez's devil sire was the Golden Lady, who is a bitch so feminist she could work in Hollywood. When you take Thez's demon powers, you are taking the Golden Lady's demon powers
>>34922 What about her was feminist? She just seemed like the kind of high-and-mighty, condescending sort of character you'd expect from a literal god. >You tell me Alright *Throws him off her back* *Sits on* We on top nao
I asked a large number of questions about why the Golden Lady paralyzed Torcuil, Infernius and I, while Tracy and Tay were ignored. The answer was something along the lines of those two responding in a particularly "feminine" form of defiance that she wanted to hear while I attempted to talk my way out and Torcuil and Infernius, while defiant, weren't defiant in quite the right way. She said that in general the golden lady is a sort of upholder of that which is feminine, I guess in the lawful evil sense
>>34927 If i can call a mount I can deflate a mount right?
>>34927 It'll only be that way if he has the gall to resist, but yes.
I'm too exhausted to type it out though. Whatever happened, she sat on him the whole time. >>34928 >Deflate He'd still have a 1200-1400 pound warhorse on his face, and this position could arguably count as mounted, from a psychosomatic perspective (it's all in her head, after all).
>>34926 Seriously though, Trump is in full plate, and Tracy is sitting on him. Its not as simple as declaring 'ripping his pants off'. >>34928 >deflate As in dismiss? No.
>>34930 She can use her jaws to tear things off, can't she? She could at least open the armor hatch (all medieval suits of armor have one) for easy access.
69 >>34932 I remember at least four verses that included having secks with horses as part of the "Quest". >>34933 ... Hypothetically could the Pimp suit be repaired?
>>34935 She's got both his arms, torso, and head pinned under her Yuge-class butt. ..You wanted to see the feminist powers in action... *Refrains from ripping through suit* *Carefully unbuttons*
>>34934 The pimp suit exceeds anyone's current ability to modify or repair. >>34935 Technically, the whole thing is contestable since no dice have been rolled yet.
>>34942 Ever seen a horse sit? She could reach. He should focus on his part, because he's not moving until she's happy. >>34943 I thought that only worked on non-magical objects?
>>34942 You seriously want a ruling. Thats not a question, I'm marveling. Since you asked, I wonder if he can stick his head up innit. >>34944 >reach You're not helping
>>34961 Great. For the sake of range estimate, what kind of monster (hit-dice wise) can she one-shot with a good sneak attack at her level? I just want to figure out what I can hope will die on the first strike.
>>34962 A level 12 rogue can deal 6d6, or about 21 additional damage with a sneak attack. If all three strikes land, that's 63 damage. So you could kill a Torcuil, for example
Tracy is 1 Blackguard, 1 Assassin, and 14 Rogue yes? Assuming all three hit it would be: [A+B+C weapon damage (including bonuses)]+45d6, in that each attack (weapon) is a separate sneak attack, gaining the 15d6 damage off the weapon's specific damage. So lots.
>>34967 Now where the hell do those numbers come from? The wiki says The rogue’s attack deals extra damage any time her target would be denied a Dexterity bonus to AC (whether the target actually has a Dexterity bonus or not), or when the rogue flanks her target. This extra damage is 1d6 at 1st level, and it increases by 1d6 every two rogue levels thereafter. Should the rogue score a critical hit with a sneak attack, this extra damage is not multiplied.
>>34966 Ponies mouths count as hands for the purpose of holding tools. The multi-weapon fighting feat allows for characters with three or more "hands" to hold an equal number of weapons without penalty. >>34967 I think I'll only advance her as a Rogue from now on.. I wanted Aura of Despair, but I think she'll be better off getting to ebin level first, so she can get one of those ebin bonus feats. >>34968 She'll only murder pirates who cause trouble, alright? She won't touch anyone who might be missed. >where is Infernuis on the list? not telling (also, I threw away the key to the point system)I really like your character though >>34970 How much damage is that per turn?
>>34971 That would depend on the weapons used (must be piercing), but its that's an increased damage of + 24<x<144 over the modified damage all the combined weapons,... so yeah, murder. >>34972 There's game. You can hunt if you want, but I'm not gonna do full combat for it. Roll a survival check to catch something.
>>34974 I think you're including the assassin and blackguard levels into it, when only the rogue levels count. It should be 7d6 per attack that lands, for 21d6 if all three land. Also, does she have 12 ranks in rogue and 3 in blackguard or 14 ranks in rogue and 1 in black guard?
>>34980 Epic prestige classes like Divine Emissary require a 23 base attack bonus. How does one attain that if their attack bonus doesn't increase after 20th level?
>>34982 I want to figure this out, so I can decide weather or not to advance as a Rogue to become a Perfect Wight, or as a Blackguard/Assassin to get other cool stuff. >>34983 So, a paladin/Cleric/blackguard would have to be level 26 to become a Divine Emissary? >>34986 Get weapon focus in that Fash-axe. You get automatic proficiency in it since Hitler is a war god, not to mention that Minotaur's also get proficiency in battleaxes.
>>34987 Without knowing the level distribution, that sounds about right >>34986 All in good time. While Tracy is catching boars (its boars btw), did you want to continue trolling Darkie?
>>34986 Also, you'd have to complete some great mission/feat/quest in the name of Hitler to earn the class as your deity's favorite champion. I suggest gassing the kikes (for real this time).
>>34990 What's the clearest path for Tracy to become a Perfect Wight? >>34988 >>35001 No staph. he was were supposed to wake up in the cuckshed to the smell of bacon. Don't ruin muh scene. The duct-tape is fucking inescapeable anyway, so better off snoozing until she finishes cooking breakfast. >>34996 Why? It's still 7 levels away until he has the attack bonus.
>>35005 I don't think he was going for the stunning strike, it was just a meme-reference >>35004 Yeah about that duct tape,... >clearest path I don't know, and it would take me time to figure out >>35006 Still on about that are you? How many times have you heiled? >>35009 Exhaustion? o_O
[1d20 = 8] *lays sleeping husbando in cuckshed* *roasts boar* Rolling to buck tree for an apple or something to put in its mouth. >>35007 She has more ranks in survival while he's touching her. Would he have tried to escape? If so, yes. >>35006 Did you consider putting more ranks into Knowledge-Religion? You could probably discover the quest yourself if you studies the holy book.
>>35010 Actually, could they have also made some non-magical duct tape for day-to-day utility, using regular glue? Sovereign Duct tape is for more extreme issues, like holding dams together in an earthquake...
>>35009 Alas poor Torcuil's Faggot, we hardly knew ye
>>35010 >How many times have you heiled? This. Trumpaladin is one of the shittiest paladins in the history of Paladins, but Elway is at least getting a return on his investment. He built a stadium, mentions football in every public speech which is often, goes to games, and is well on his way to expanding the franchise to a second city
>>35014 Try rolling a knowledge check to find out your lord's mission for you. Is a Cleric answering his lord's ambition an easy, basic, or tough question DC?
>>35016 Kek, that they are Well, Tracy is roasting a boar in unknown place #7, Torcuil and Thez are still on a beach finding their bearings, Infernius is still trolling Darkie, and I'm free for the day, so can actually do stuff. "I don't suppose you know how to Teleport?" Thez asks. >>35015 Duct tape is magic tho.
>>35017 Try walking througfh town and healing the poor or other kinds of charity. From logs I've read, it's normal for Clerics and Paladns to get swamped with poor people begging for healing wherever they go. Charity/sacrifice earns them Good Boi Points. >>35020 Well, a Cleric should at least have a good hunch about what his god wants him to do, maybe he can get a bonus for Reading the whole Mein Kampf 6 gorillion times (also, Read Magick spell + Divination).
>>35024 That reminds me, we can charge for medical services. I think we can also sell use of the entertron to people far away who have someone they want resurrected
>>35023 "Unless you're keen on exploring. Gimme a sec." <whoooof> >>35027 It suddenly occurs to Infernius that there is no possible way that the party could have eliminated all the (((rats))). Knowing how they work and operate, they are sure to have multiple bases of operation, and be inter-connected across the map. >>35023 <whoooof> "...left the goddamn glider-wings in the Court City. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Oh well," she ports in mid-rant. "There's several settlements and smaller cities to the north, and a few larger cities to the west. I don't recognize any of them, but if you want to gather information we can do that, but I'd just as soon get back. I had an idea for the Fight Club, especially with the potential for liches and vampires from the Court," >>35028 Uh, unless you stopped on the way. "Not to be cheeky, but how am I to eat it?"
>>35029 For Clerics, I guess you'd need a certain number to get good effects from Spells like Planar Ally. Also, their Holy scripture probably has it's own requirements for charity. Paladins are (normally) required to do everything they can to help those in need, so long as it doesn't require performing ebil acts to do so. >>35031 Ikr.
>>35030 >Wakes up >Wonders if it was all just a bad dream >Demon Horse is there >Nope, it's real >She's at least pretending to be nice, so there's that "Hey Tracy" *pets horsey or pony as appropriate* "D'aww, you made me breakfast? That's so sweet" *inspects bacon for authenticity*
>>35035 I was absent during the casting (I wanted to leave his head in a bucket, remember? Xp) but I would assume it would fully encapsulate his body from the neck down.
>>35032 "Is there a way I could leave a... a... Ah fuck what was it called..." Torc paces a bit before remembering "Ah yes, a waypoint here so I could teleport back if I wanted? Either way I'm ready to head back."
>>35037 >only the neck down Does it impair his Concentration? Otherwise, couldn't he just use the Alter Self spell and an Escape Artist check to turn into a viper and slip out? >>35038 "~Hmmmmmm..!"
>>35039 "You don't need to waypoint this location. Now that you're aware of it, you can teleport here at will. I'm rdy to go." >>35041 Alter self requires movement and gestures to cast, even as an assassin; not an option. >>35040 "As undignifying as it is, I'll take it."
>>35038 *takes knife back* *cuts into pork and serves it* "Are you ready to go on an adventure today, ~Flashy?" >>35042 >gestures This is news to me, what does Tracy need to do for her spells? It doesn't require some ninja hand-sign, does it? >tfw no fingers
>>35044 >ninja-seal Depends on the spell. Alter self requires verbal and somatic (body movement) to cast. Each spell has particular requirements (materials negated) >>35047 "Oh fine, AHHH," he says with a bit of spite. >>35048 Where in the tower?
>>35055 Torcuil arrives and Thez <whoooof> appears to see Infernius about to spoon-feed Darkie, who's got his mouth open like,... well like a hospital patient in a body cast.
>>35062 "I know, that's why not being solitary and feeding him baffles me." >>35063 "This! Bloody hell, don't stop, please. I'll tell you what I know! Ahhhhh!" he says much more graciously, hoping Infernius will continue.
>>35057 "If while wondering through the mountains here we stumble upon a Great Wyern Red Dragon, we can teleport out, you can jaunt, and we can run like hell. What happens if we encounter something too strong to kill in the Ethereal realm? Does it have a way to follow us if we juant? Is it faster than us? We can't teleport. You can't hide or do sneak attacks. I can't dismount and do flank attacks. If we die on the material plane, Thez can get out stuff. If we die on the Ethereal plane, it's gone forver. And our souls may even be taken.
You tell me just precisely what those things are, how you are sure they won't kill us, and how you plan to kill them, then maybe we'll go."
>>35057 >fast forwarding a bit to finish breakfast and get the show on the road >*slices out large, generous portion of the porkbelly for Trumpaladin* >[hungry hoers noises] >*ferociously into the remains of the carcass and eats as ferociously as a pregnant monster-hoers would* (says something about cravings) *munch* "I've always been so fucking hungry these past few months..!"*munch* >*looks at body, ribs no-longer exposed* "...and I've been putting on a lot of weight too..." *munch*
>>35066 Okay, now Thez is embarrassed for him, but mutters "I hope the Tower surveillance system is getting all this, for blackmail purposes." >>35067 >we can teleport out" Um, how exactly?
>>35067 >If we die on the Ethereal plane, it's gone forver. Her Etherealness would end as soon as she's incapacitated. "I'm not afraid, Flashy. I'm confident if we're together." [affectionate hoers noises] >>35069 >Tower surveillance system Wat?!
>>35069 *infernuis turns his head in such a way that darkie cant see and flashes the biggest smile to thez then goes back to regular infernuis expression and continues feeding him*
>>35070 GM explicitly said we'd both get killed and we would have lost our equipment if we got too close to those who-knows-whats. What more do you want? "Why though? If we kill bandits here we make it safer for travelers and can take the loot. If we kill a dragon we can take a hell of a lot of loot. If we locate a city we can add a trading partner, and I have been meaning to find a source of iron so we can send it to Krenshall. The material realm gives us much more to gain and is a hell of a lot less risky"
>>35075 Bandits probably aren't ebil, let alone ebil enough to have auras. "What bandits?Are you saying you just want to make our way home on hoof, Flashy?" She never implied she want to be ethereal again, btw.
"I've got a bad feeling about the point where the trail meets the mountain. Seems like an ambush or drop off point. Same with where the trail meets the forest."
>>35084 "Yeah.. If I were setting up an ambush, this would be where I'd do it..." >on guard, but still moving quickly down the path, keeping a close eye* (tfw eyes on both sides of the head to detect predators) on the forest on either side of the path
>>35083 The area outside the path is full of thick undergrowth, making movement more difficult (1/4 speed, without incurring penalties). There are some gradually increasing slopes further on, and the area has sparse trees. >>35085 >>35087 So Tracy is basically in "gimme something to kill" mode?
Trumpaladin does a search check, looking for broken limbs, and any big gashes and disruptions in the ground, grass or mud
>>35088 For the most part, I think good aligned creatures will not be inclined to ambush us. Although Tracy might look like a good target. They may be confused as fuck by the Paladin riding the fiend though
>>35102 Well here's the thing. If you look at the map, there is a city on the other side of the mountains. There's also one a bit to the Northeast past the forest. Mountains also are home to dragons, although not all dragons are small enough to not run like hell from. The path, however, likely leads back to something sentient somewhere, my bet is a village. I have no idea if diplomacy will do well or not
>>35106 Tracy doesn't actually care what she's doing, as long as she can do things with her husband. The village seems like the more reasonable venture desu,.just because the characters wouldn't think of venturing at a length attack dragons in their own territory when they don't even know they're there. >Forgetting that dragons live in other places too
>>35104 "Friends? You don't know how drow work do you? Our partnership was based on mutual self-interest, not some particular alliegence to one another." True >>35108 I'm still not sure what you mean. Stat (str, dex, etc.) bonuses are +1 for every 2 points above 10 (+1 at 12, +2 at 14, etc.). For skills, each skill pertains to a stat (dex for tumbling, for example) and applies any modifier from it to the check, above the skill level the character has. >>35110 Oh make up your mind,.... Do you want to kill things or not? Random encounters are the worst, but I've already done up a thing.
>>35110 I'm just thinking about what I would want to see if I were there. There are so many trees - it's like every square inch of the American South from San Antonio to Savannah that isn't walmarts or swamps is pine trees, so I've seen enough, whereas the mountains of Greece and Costa Rica and West Virginia - seen in passing - are beautiful.
>>35115 You wanna try that again? o_o >>35113 Alright. Tracy can hear the sound of movement somewhat far off, along the patches of woods that separate the path from the mountain, but can't see anything yet. There's a good number of them. (sorry, lagging, gonna reboot)
[1d20+19 = 29] >>35124 *slows down and veers off to the brush on the opposing side, observing the situation* "... Something's there." She draws her cane, looses her chain and approaches more slowly. Sense Motive to figure out if they've been spotted spotted yet.
>>35126 A good number of faint evil signatures. And squawking. >>35127 Clinkety clink "Squawk?" >>35129 "No. The spellcaster had a pocket dimension we would disembark from and return to, connecting wherever we were (which was always a different locale) to wherever we were operating in." True
>>35134 Not spotted, but chains aren't exactly quiet The sounds of footsteps, lots of them, start approaching. >>35133 "I, as you know, am Darkemter Vrees. Their names are unknown to me, we used false names for business reasons." True
>>35137 Detect evil, looking to see if larger signatures are approaching. Ready Full round attack with Vanderiem when an evil-scented entity gets in range of the sword
>>35136 >"We killed robots that came to attack Thez, remember? What do you think summoned them?"
[1d20+21 = 34] >>35137 May as well make a Spot check to see what's coming. Tracy puts her chain away and retreats to the side of the road for cover, still observing. >>35138 >we killed They mostly just watched, desu.
[1d20 = 10] >>35136 >"If these things have a master, do you want to remain at range and draw off the summoned creatures, killing or do you want to attack the master directly?"
Trumpaladin tries to be stealthyish Rolling I guess
>>35139 "You can call me Susan if you like. My contemporaries called me Darkie, for the double-entendre. We didn't have a client, we simply stole from whoever was slipping on their game. Incidentally, you can have the most magical lock in the world, and it doesn't do a bit of good if the walls are unsecured." True True True. >>35138 Nothing larger, but there's about 8 of them and they're approaching. >>35141 Good move
>Torc has nothing to do "Susan, if you could talk to a spellcaster, do you think you could provide enough information to get us to this pocket dimension?"
>>35144 These things have a "feint" evil aura as you say? What's the aura on these?
>>35143 >"looks like just these eight. If possible, let them pass through then we kill them. If they are small enough, we may be able to dismount and kill them faster, but I do not know"
>>35145 "He wouldn't respond, they are certain to know I've been captured by this point." T >>35146 "Yes, all dark-elves." T >>35147 >Faint >What's the aura Uhm,... aside from the obviously already answered question, I don't know where you're going with it. There's 8 faint auras approaching.
>>35148 We're looking at about 55 HP or lower then, so a good chance each one can be killed in a single round of attacks, but a reasonable chance they would need both characters to finish them in a single round, and also a chance to cleave. What spells do you want?
>>35147 *lurks in shadows, waiting for entities to come by* >>35153 It legitimately matters what comes by and what they do. She's got Dark Blessing, so eagles Splendor helps with the defensive.
>>35151 "You're asking me? I'm the sneaky ninja, what do I know about the technicalities of magic?" True >>35152 See above "I don't know what does it, but I do know that unmagical brick walls aren't it." True >>35150 Before long a large creature standing on four stilt-like legs emerges from behind some trees about 40' off, from behind a dip in the landscape. It has a birdlike body, round and plump, and its body is about the size of a small pony, balanced atop its legs. Feathers that range in color from brown to red cover its body, its legs end in terrible claws while a glistening beak shines like burnished metal.
>>35155 I think I know what that is. Tracy doesn't move, but takes a deep breath and braces for a charge once she sees the other. >>35158 Knew it. >>35159 It's an achaierai. Lawful Ebil. They're intelligent.
>>35157 "What do you want, a biography? I'm from another world, same as you lot I'd wager. In fact, this Tower is just as much mine as it is yours." >>35160 >>35161 Shush, that's a Trump/Tracy thing >>35159 Organic >>35162 No, she doesn't she's never seen anything like it o\\_/o
>>35162 Intelligent the same way a 'normal' nightmare is, rather. "Are we hunting today, Flashy?" >>35166 I know she doesn't. She thinks she sees a big bird-thing. She only knows she's seen a tasty-looking fiend.
>>35168 >"It's Evil, so on the list. It's not a robot, so it's probably not a sentry for some more evil empire. Unless you think we can talk to them and get something valuable from the encounter, then yeah, let's kill them. Let me know if you want bull's strength first though"
>>35169 "I mean, you folks aren't the only players who found yourselves here in this facility after dying gruesome deaths." >>35162 This is exactly the type of meta that really kills it. If you "know", keep it to yourself. It doesn't help, since none of that is known to your character.
I like this picture of an Achaierai for some reason >>35172 Torc stares for a minute before shaking his head "We're getting off topic. Is there anyway to accsess this dimension without the Spellcaster. A door of sorts?"
>>35170 [frisky nightmare noises] *kicks the earth softly* "... Do they even talk?" Also, do Eagle's splendor instead. >>35172 Noted. I won't spoil shit in the future. I actually regretted that as soon as I posted.
[2d20 = 6] >>35173 "No, he had a device that allows access, but its still in his possession. Without it, I don't know how to get 'there'." True >>35174 No, they're squawking, not talking. Trump and Tracy both see the lead one
>>35172 Are they magical? Because if not, what do we both need savings throw bonuses for? Bull's strength will add plus two to each one of my attacks and +3 to each one of my damage rolls. Probably the same with you. That's a hell of a lot of damage we'd be forgoing
>>35170 "I'm ready for whatever you are, Flashy." Also, make the decision yourself. She's the cohort. The only reason she hasn't charged recklessly is because she's waiting for a signal/strategy/order from her husbando. She's in hunting mode, but she's behaving.
>>35179 GM facepalms. This went from an unknown random encounter to a meta-haxx kill it the best way. Trump see's a weird-ass bird, out of range for a surprise attack.
>>35178 >>35180 Casts bulls strength on self and tracy Wait a beat Ready an full round attack on bird further away than the first, and order Tracy to charge
>>35181 [frisky nightmare noises] "D-do we charge, Flashy? They're ebil r-right? I can stab them? Let me stab something..!" >>35184 Gib dialogue, faggot Is that an order to charge or to kill? >>35186 No you don't.
>>35185 "Did he have a name for it?" Torc stands up and acts like he's getting ready to leave >>35187 I had to ask how stats affect rolls, do you think I know shit?
Fug it, I don't care what I "know". Tracy loses her patience and makes a flying leap over the birds, frenzied to stab something. She blows smoke ahead as she goes. >>35192 "Wish granted!" *charges* Rolling for a ride-by attack on the nearest bird.
>>35190 GM suspects Trump is playing on his laziness and unwillingness to pour through previous logs e_e Fine, Trump pops a flask, or skin, or whatever he's keeping this alcohol in, and offers it to Vandereim. "Now you're talking lad!" he says. "Squawk? SQUAWK!" "Squawk!" "Squawk, squawk!" >>35191 "No, it was just a device. What it was called wasn't ever relevant." True >know shit I wasn't talking about you. The lead bird starts charging toward the sound, detecting Trump in the process. Since Trump is readied, he has opportunity. >>35193 Hit, miss, miss.
[4d20 = 45] >>35193 Trumpaladin's readied attack would be triggered when he gets in range of a bird. He tries to aim for a different bird than Tracy if in range, and the same if not
Three more birds crest the incline the previous one came from, with the sound of more emanating from behind them. The only one Tracy has the chance to attack is the lead one, which is charging toward Trump
>>35197 It doesn't freaking matter, just Smite! You've gotr Spirited charge with these shoes, you could knock-out just about anything with a mounted melee. >>35198 Make it a ride-by attack.
As the lead bird runs toward Trump, Tracy breaks from concealment and makes a ahem ride-by attack >>35198 Too late. Tracy is already committed, as is Trump. Grrrrrr
>>35194 "Eh fair enough" Torc throws his snek down, transfoming it into Mr. Snek. He talks to Mr. Snek a bit, then stands back up. "Okay, thank you Susan. You have been quite helpful. Infernius, if he mentions anything else please send a message with Mr. Snek." Mr. Snek: *tounge flick* Torc heads to the library
[1d8 = 3] Tracy's damage (without str and other modifiers for damage) Gashing the bird as it runs toward Trump, he gets a single attack of opportunity before this turns into an initiative-based melee. >>35202 You do realize that voids all the stealth and shit right?
>>35204 I don't know how all of these billions of game mechanics work. I just know that when I asked if I was dismounted or not, Tracy's faggot said no
>>35206 Why are you asking Tracy if Trump dismounted or not? My impression was that he did, since Tracy wanted to hide, since otherwise hiding while mounted would have required a bunch of checks that I see none of. This requires a serious re-iteration of "what happened". Next time this happens, someone is getting nerfed.
>>35209 Well, it seems we fighting on the ground now, so it's assumed that he dismounted. If not already, Tracy grows to full size and begins filling the area with smoke. She activates her robe for increased concealment. >>35210 Get ready to defend yourself. Did you bother to put any ranks into Ride?
[3d20 = 15] [1d10 = 4] >>35210 For continuity's sake, I'm going with the Tracy dash attack, followed by the Trump opportunity attack. Trump's attack lands, dice plus modifiers,... which kills it. As it runs up on Trump, he slices vigorously into its body, and it goes falls skidding to the ground in a heap. Three more are visible, and others aren't far behind. Initiative roll Trump, Tracy, Birds.
>>35209 Look, D&D has nine billion different rules. I cannot learn all of these while also needing to study anti-trust law copy-right law professional ethics US naturalization law adminsitrative law relation-back rules in civil procedure while dealing with a laptop that breaks and the daily need to get food. So I do not know all of the rules by heart. I've studied up on the ones that generally apply to my character. Hiding is not one of those things that normally apply to mine. And while mounted combat applies to mine, I have npt studied it very hard. Tracy's faggot knows hiding. He knows mounted combat. Hence, I asked him if under x circumstance it would be necessary to mount or dismount.
>>35213 Alright, I'm sorry if I misled you. Let's just finish the encounter.
Tracy is in hunting mode, on orders to finish off these creatures, but she tenses at seeing her husband attacked, and instinctively steps back a bit, looking concerned. "F-Flashy, are you alright?!"
The 3 lead birds move more into view and 2 of them squawk while another charges. Another four fill in behind them. Initial distance is ~40', so no one is range of attack. Movement/support/technical actions only. >>35213 I know, and I appreciate your position. I'm trying to make combat as fluid and seamless as possible. It worked right up until the "Trump is still mounted" bit, which made the previous impossible, so I'm line-item-vetoing it. Trump has last move in this situation, and the birds have already moved. Tracy has action, but she's not in range to attack.
>>35214 He never got attacked, it died at his feet. There's still 7 of them, and Tracy can attempt to hide again, or she could engage, use an ability, move/position, or something I've omitted.
>>35215 Tracy looses her chain and gets ready to attack the birds as soon as the come in range, blowing smoke and activating her cloak. >>35217 That's not what she would've thought though. She only saw a monster running at her husband; she didn't care if it landed or not. >>35216 She turns to the side and puts her body between Trumpaladin and the and the birds. >>35218 "YES!"
>>35220 You can expend your action for the round closing in on Trump's position, if being mounted is your intention. >>35223 This, though Trump is out of range and has a full round to mount, since that seems his intention.
>>35225 A cursory review indicates that whatever item he is describing is not listed, and is therefore a custom-fabrication. >>35228 Snek likes this one. >>35227 So, I have it at Tracy closed so Trump could mount, and is beginning to billow smoke. >>35229 "Does a bear shit pope, who wandered into the woods and found himself face-to-face with a bear?"
>>35231 eye-twitch I was under the impression that Trump was mounting Tracy. Besides, any boot-flaking would be Trump's call, so why is TF asking about it? e_e
>>35231 I was guessing that the range was more limited, but I have no idea. Even if it did what would I be flanking? The charging bird? And then what? They are far away
>>35235 "I'm not sure what you mean by "earn", but lets hear it." >>35236 You're right, he doesn't. >>35238 >>35239 >>35241 A gau 8? No. So many kinds of no.
>>35244 i laid my foot on him basically. >>35243 "me imagine sitting in your own juices isnt very fun, so if you agree to help us track down your "friends" me vow me will let you go after we find them."
>>35245 Yes. The charging one gets into range, giving Tracy and Trump an attack of opportunity, though its going for a spring attack. 3 of the group (2 from behind and 1 from the middle) also charge. The rest close distance (5') and maintain readiness.
>>35252 Closing on Trump required a full movement (quick actions only). Trump would then have mounted, which even if he did it quickly, Tracy's move was expended. Meaning, it wuz the birds' turn, seen here: >>35248 Trump and Tracy have a single opporunity of attack, before it's Tracy's (full) turn, followed by Trump's.
>>35264 It does, that was your attack of opportunity. The second bird skids to the ground dead, this time to the right of Trump and Tracy. Its Tracy's move, followed by Trump's, while the birds (still 35' away) maintain a trapezoid formation.
[3d20 = 45] >>35265 They're in range to attack with the chain, right? >>35267 Spirited Charge, lashing-out with the chain at the center bird and billowing smoke ahead in a cone.
[4d20 = 39] >>35266 Well, at this point its not much of a fight. The enemies are clearly out-classed, even given numbers. With Trump on Tracy its just a matter of picking them off, and unless there is a 1 in the next couple rolls, there's no chance of them doing anything particularly damaging to Tr/Tr.
>>35268 That however is. The first two attacks land >billowing smoke ahead Not quite how it works. Tracy, with chain lashes guresomely once and effectively the second time. The bird is alive, but just barely. Its Trump's turn >>35271 Just wait
[1d20 = 18] >>35274 Yes cleave. The first attack fells the 3rd, and cleave takes precedence against the next (there's 3 charging) which lands (the 13). The 9h hits as well, followed by a miss with the 2, followed by another attack which doesn't have dice so
One misses entirely, the other glances a strike against Trump's armor but fails to land. The rear birds squawk at eachother, and start backing away. Tracy's move. There's 2 birds immediately (within 5') in range, while the other 2 are now backing off.
[2d20 = 14] >>35282 >start backing away Tracy's not stopping unless Trumpaladin stops her deliberately, now that she's like this. She charges the nearest bird feverishly with two flaming hooves.
Torc decides to get some food Rolls to start eating haggis I'm feeling left out on the rolling, okay? "Hi susan, I'm back. Want anything to eat?" Mr. Snek drapes himself around Torc's shoulders
>>35288 Tracy gladly complies charging toward where she's directed at full speed. She replies something through the empathetic link, but it's unintelligible. She's just bloodthirsty.
>>35295 Kill. One remains, in full flight. In range, with a full round motion from Tracy, who's turn it is. (blah blah, attack of opportunity, blah murder, blah, murder murder murder, and murder murder). Okay, they're all dead. There's 8 bodies strewn about the area.
>Susan >>35246 "You're not exactly giving me a choice in the matter. Either stew in this filth, or 'potentially' run free and frolick amongst the birds and animals, yeah?"
Tracy slows to a stop and snorts feverishly, padding the ground beneath her. >>35297 [frisky monster noises] She isn't calm, but his voice comforts her *panting* (snorting) She turns her head and nibbles at him "Did I do well, ~Flashy?"
>>35299 *pets horsey on the head, moving her ears to and fro.* "You did very well my beloved mount. Now listen, in case those were the attack dogs of someone more dangerous"
>>35302 "Oh, cut the crap. What do you want to know? I'll fukkin' tell ye, just to get the show on the road. They give me magical transport devices, I get all sneaky sneaky and jack people's shit, and then use the devices to get away. Rrrrragggghhhhhh!" His body cast shakes around a bit as he fails in the attempt to flail in frustration.
>>35303 "Calm down mate. I was just making myself food and was wondering if you wanted any. Though, can you get me the device?" Mr. Sneks lifts his head and stares at what seems to be causing his master distress.
>>35304 <whooof> Thez pops back in "Sorry it took so long, they insisted I beat them. By the way, the Fight Club may stop by and use the Entertron,... in a bit maybe." >>35306 "You'll trust me, just like that. Either you're a fool, or you're supremely confident."
>>35307 So assuming a follow up detect evil casting, a spot check, and hopefully what would have been listen and spot checks from Tracy all revealed nothing, Trumpaladin steps down to inspect the killed creatures. He wants to try to determine what he can about what they are, where they came from, and so forth. And of course... look for treasure or loot \r
>>35308 No evil, and no possessions or treasure to speak of. Tracy could track. Pssst, detect evil only has a 60' range,... looking is a better way of determining threats >>35309 He thinks for a moment. "Define help."
[1d20+21 = 26] >>35310 "You think these things will taste good?" She implores, as she begins dismembering the corpses and tossing tender parts in her bag. >>35312 "I don't know what they are, but they smell.. interesting..." *mouth waters a bit* (this is my way of implying that she vaguely senses that they're some kind of fiend. She has a taste for fiends. Idk if it'll work at all, but rolling a Track check to see if she has any clue where they could've come from.
>>35313 "They do, and they've got 4 drumsticks each!!" Thez yells, though technically Tracy wouldn't hear her, nor would she have heard Tracy in the first place. >infernal ...maybe,... yeah.
>>35316 He squints his eyes and remains motionless for a moment. "I'll do it, but I will need my blades and some of that haggis," he says pointing at Torcuil's plate inb4 haggis jokes. "And I get a portion of the retrieved gold," he says, his eyebrow twitching, betraying a bit of daringly overzealous negotiating. >>35317 Other than the intestinal tract, its clean.
>>35314 >You don't know what they are or what they do Cast Detect Poison if you're so concerned, fgt. Even I think they look delicious.
Tracy tells Trumpaladin that she's more tan capable of handling the bodies, and that she'll give him any piece he wants later after butchering. She then unfurls her skin-sack and ties wraps the parts that didn't fit in her Bag of Holding into a bundle. >>35315 Do "infernal" and "fiend" mean the exact same thing? >>35318 Tracy saves the intestinal tracks in a separate container on her saddlebags, considering that they might be useful later. >>35317 Did you ever consider asking Vadereim about monsters with Ebil Auras? An intelligent bane sword might be at least be able to identify a fiend. Also, freaking talk to him. What's the point in having a talking sword if you never speak to him? He might know quite a bit, considering that he's a relic from a previous campaign.
[1d20 = 19] >>35320 I thought about it, then figured he probably couldn't provide much more than the alignment, but fuck it I don't know if he can let her eat those things. Would they mutate the child? Could they? He's not going to gamble letting his his child turn into a freak just to avoid starting a fight. He'd rather start a fight.
>>35318 Well Fuck it. Trumpaladin asks Vanderiem, who hopefully is sobering up by now "Hey Vandy! What the hell are these things? Do you have any idea?"
Aslo, wisdom check on the type of poison in the intestines
Thez is confused. "You're trusting him?" to Infernius >>35319 "4.4" >>35320 No! Glad you asked! Infernal is a blanket term referring to an external plane (outside material) that is "Not Good and not primal/natural". The NAP is infernal at the perimeter of the concept. Diabolical refers to devils and Abyssmal is then demons. WAIT! No, Trump is right. Its so small, almost like a second appendix, except its above the throat box. These things do have a poison gland. They were never in range and still long enough to try, but they spew poison smoke. >Vandereim Several previous campaigns. He's literally older than Thez. >>35321 They're from acheron meta, its a plane of war, not creepy hellish corruption. "Fucked if I know lad. I heard ye had some drink a bit earlier tho."
>>35322 Trumpaladin gives more alcohol to Vanderiem because he seems to be asking for it, and recommends to Tracy to cut off and save the poison glands.
>>35322 >Thez is confused Well, I can say that scene would never have gone down that way with Trumpaladin there. He can never trust any evil aligned creature than isn't Lawful - never. We'll see how it goes down
>>35321 The foal has a literal fiend for a parent. It was conceived while she was transformed: the parts of her womb that regenerated did so because of her transformation. On top of that, it was mentioned in the Elway prophecy, so it absolutely won't be a "normal" child. Eating devil-chickens won't do anything extra to it. The baby might have uber-demigod powers or some other crazy horseshit, but I'm sure it'll still be adorable. Stop worrying about things that might "mutate" it, because it's already more than likely to be something unique. Sorry... >>35322 Tracy pulls-out the poison glands and puts them together in a jar on her saddlebags. >>35323 *dumps intestines out after realizing it's not killing anyone*
>>35328 Why you post such evil gifs? He doesn't want a child that's 25% Judeo-bolshevik and 25% uber feminist. If it must be part Jewish, at least let it be the good kind of Jew
>>35338 Good point. It might just be a "normal" baby. My point is that it's not going to be drastically affected by anything she eats, if you put it in context with the circumstances of its birth. >>35336 >25% this >25% that I don't think that's how peculiar creatures work in a fantasy setting. If it has Ebil Outsider characteristics, it would't necessarily be of Jewish nature, since it's twice passed-down and hybridized. It could be its own unique essence. >good kind of Jew >lol
>>35341 Sorry, I linked the wrong post. That was supposed to be >>35335 >>35342 I figured you knew already, it would be redundant. >>35344 What kind of solid-steel body-cast can you just "open"? Infernius realizes that letting Darkie out is going to be more difficult than he originally anticipate.
>>35345 Infernius is a particularly stupid and imprudent form of good, but whatever. That's his character. Mine would never trust Darkie that much, or would let him go with the intention of him escaping and then Scrying or whatever his location. But maybe infernius's leaps of faith in trusting others is better than my "never trust anyone" approach. Maybe he'll get further than I could have. Let's see
>>35349 Don't worry, Thez never trusts anyone either. >>35350 If you're asking if I (as GM and co-creator of this character) have an excuse for a non-evil character to have assassin ranks, then I assure you I do. >>35352 Are we talking statistics, or are we talking specifics?
After loading everything, Tracy allows Trumpaladin to mount her and continues down the path. >>35352 Are they still going towards the mountain, or towards the settlement or something you mentioned?
Trumpaladin orders the horsey high up into the air. He then searches for signs of Agricultural fields, clearings, settlements, structures, and anything familair
[1d20+21 = 30] They could probably see further if they were higher up. Sensing his intention, Tracy flies ~60 feet in the air, and makes her own search check.
>>35351 The fastest way tbh is to cut his head off and throw that in the Entertron. "Kinda why I wanted to keep his head in a bucket," Thez says with a hint of sarcastic irritation. >>35359 >>35360 At 60' Tracy realizes, "I can't see shit from this altitude." and feels compelled to go higher. Its at about 250-300' that she starts to notice a pattern. There's a mountain range right to Tracy's right. It looks kind of familiar and it reminds her of,... The bebes. Which way are the bebes?
>>35365 I was thinking I should make her more nervous about those birds.. She's even less comfortable with leaving them in the stables now... If that's the direction of the tower (where she's going), Tracy flies off towards the mountain range, unless Trumpaladin greatly objects to it.
>>35368 I kind of wanted to see if there were any settlements, cities, or civilizations or factions to explore. Of course there's the thing with the Drow Trumpaladin would have wanted to do anytways, he wants to revive pirates and convince them to work for him, and so forth. If Tracy says anything about the Birds, Trumpaladin will say "Oh don't worry, Trollestia is good with children and will look after them"
>>35367 "Done. Oh what, you think you can outdo the queen of spiders, when it comes to "unpleasant"? Oh do tell me ways I can be paid more, I implore you." True >>35368 It does look familiar.
>>35376 And don't even think about murdering sailors in Trumpaladin's Jurisdiction. Jesus, Paladins are supposed to kill evil outsiders everywhere, but I toned his white-knightedness down so that he only gives a shit about people under his "jurisdiction," and that includes Travellers in his city. Want to do random stabbing, go to Cardishor or Krenshall. Some place he isn't legally and morally obligated to divorce her, renounce her, kill her, then have sex with a good-aligned celestial charger over her corpse if she's murdering visitors
>>35378 "What? Me? Well, I guess its my lucky day," Thez says like she just got bingo. "Uhm,... I uh,... I don't have a blade at the,... oh wait nevermind," she says finally pulling out a device that looks kind of like a folding saw, which she flicks open. Its a fancy-lookin' kama, sculpted to look like quetzalcoatl. She looks over at Torcuil and thinks for a moment. "Oi. You ever seen the Dark Crystal?"
>>35390 "....... Flashy... You wouldn't cheat on me, would you? That one time with Thez was just >rape, right? You wouldn't do something like that on your own volition, right...? You notice that she is now flying frighteningly hight "....... RIGHT?!" Her voice sounds desperate
[7d8 = 39] [1d20 = 7] >>35397 >GM finally corners his sides and takes them back into possession Cuz she's still laughing, Thez reglects strength bonus.
>>35396 *He pets Tracy, slowly* "Tracy, I really do want this to work out...
As You certainly know, I am the Waifu Thief, he who insists on having more than one waifu. And I came in here with the intention of doing just that. But if you insist, I can make a change for the sake of our marriage. I am willing to sacrifice to make it work...
Now Thez was definitely not intended. She doesn't even have hooves. Not my type.
Tracy, what happened between myself and Trollestia happened...
But it was not a reflection of how much I love you. It was not a reflection of how desirable I think you are. I can make this work"
>>35409 Sorry, that's a fail >>35412 After Infernius' 2, that'll be fine. Off comes Darkemter's head, squeezing out the words, "Finally, shit." before being picked up and lobbed back into the entertron, to be reconstituted without clothers. "Well hello friends,long time!"
>>35415 "It was not an act of love. That night, outside the fort, as you tried to run away, that was an act of love. I did it because I felt like if I did not, I might lose you forever. And I didn't want to lose you. I don't want to lose you. And in so doing, I gave you something. I gave you your foal - hopefully just the first. And nopony else has received such love from me"
>>35417 >>35418 "Ahhh, thank you, but I brought my own," He says, almost smearing his hands along his waist-line. An endless number of tiny dots descend from his hands and weave themselves around his legs like creepy-spooder sweat-pants,
>>35419 *buckling lessens slightly, before intensifying again, her whole body shivering* "..... Flashy..... why would you do this...? *voice cracks* a-and why with that white c-cunt..?" >flight pattern is now dangerously unstable
>>35420 Uh, I've got the Kilt, claymore dagger, and bagpipe chanter. But not blood... >>35421 "Ah, now. Do we have to make your 'escape' look convincing?"
>>35422 "Because I had this stupid idea when I first saw that unicorn that I was going to have sex with her. Then it became kind of a contest with Torcuil, who I was still angry with at the time. And finally Trollestia gave me just enough rope for me to hang myself with"
>>35423 "I could, that is if that little shiny-haired fellow hadn't gone hiroshima on them a couple days ago." >>35424 "Oh, I get it, an "escape"? Ha ha ha, no. They won't fall for that. They'll see any pursuit as adversarial, me or otherwise. Decide now. Who is hunting, and who is hunted?" His eyes grow cold.
>>35434 "I do love you. You are the one I think about when I am away. You are my one waifu... You are my partner and the mother of my child. I did not realize you would be shaken from that belief" *tries to hug horsey*
>>35436 *slows to a halt* *shivers feverishly* [confused pony noises] *chokes up a bit* ".................................................................................................. r-really.....?" *sniffs*
>>35439 "Tracy, I am not perfect, and I have made very serious mistakes. I did not and do not want to hurt you. I will be your husbando. I will be yours."
Pets horsey "The three of us together in a household, think of it. You're going to be a mother"
>>35443 ".... Would you do just one thing.. for the sake of our family..? To prove you love me? I can forgive you if you do, but you have to promise me, Flashy.. I'll never ask for anything else again if you do this for me." *stays stalk-still*
>>35439 *Trumpaladin winces* "Tracy... I'm not allowed to do literally anything... But I am willing to go very far for you. For us. What do you need me to do?"
>>35449 *Trumpaladin ponders the ethics of allowing one innocent person to die for the sake of rectifying the sins of another, and for protecting the lives of others* *Thinks of the symbolic meaning of killing a Unicorn*
"If... I do that... can we be a happy couple? Can we be a family?"
"I need this, Flashy..! I can't wait any longer..! I've wanted to kill her since the day I first met her, and I can't hold back anymore. It hurts to even look at her now; she makes me want to scream.. it's too late, there can only be one of us... I'm going to kill that unicorn.. I couldn't stop even if I wanted to.. But when I do, I don't want it to hurt us; I don't want to have to keep it a secret from you. I want to share my whole self with you, Flashy; so please.. kill her with me.." >>35450 "You know I love you, Flashy.. If you love me, will you help me make her disappear, permanently? I can't live in the tower with her there, it has to be done... I can forgive everything if you'll just do this for me."
>>35452 "You don't have to do it alone, Flashy. I want to be there with you; I want to finish that obnoxious cunt. We'll do it together..." *Heavy breathing* "... It doesn't have to be today, just swear to me, when the time comes you won't hesitate.. Okay?"
>>35452 "I love you, Flashy..! I really do. I'm so sorry to ask something like this from you, but I just don't want to have to kill her in secret without you.. I know it's really selfish to ask, but I need this..! ..D-do you understand..?"
>>35455 "I... I understand the feeling of needing to do something... That I do.
I guess... I mean, I always thought that If she and Torcuil hadn't provoked Korak by killing some of his men they'd still loyal to us even now... So maybe she has it coming? I don't know... Doesn't feel like it
>>35459 *Is shaking too, but more calmly than before* "I love you more than anything else in the multiverse, Flashy..! Let's go home..." *Speeds off home, like a fiery comet*
>>35461 *Feels like a weight has been taken off her shoulders* "..Th-thank you, Flashy.. I didn't think I'd be able to tell you this.. I thought I might find myself killing her alone, or worse, lying about it.. I'm so glad I can tell you this, Flashy. I love you so much..!"
"You seem to have picked up that I sort of already have a large number duties and obligations. Paladin of Trump, proclaimer of the truth of Football, and defender of Port Barry. I'm not great at it, but please understand that I have duties that are high priority.
Please try not to make my duties to Elway and Port Barry conflict with our family. Please do not place a strain upon our relationship in that way. Please... let me be able to trust you"
>>35470 I think the essential covenant here is made. Trumpaladin just needs to arrive at the tower, talk with Thez, and a few other things, although even those could wait
>>35471 "I'll do this for us, just please do not push me in other areas. Don't make my obligations to God and Country conflict with family "
>>35476 I think you and I have very different interpretations of the Tracy character Um... can we arrive back at the tower? I need to get the belt and Suigoto from Thez. Or I want to, anyways
>>35479 Darlkie wanders by, having thoroughly washed himself,... several times so gross with a tea-saucer and cup blowing steam off some tea. He stops for a moment. "Lesson number 1. I'd have agreed to your terms without a share in the treasure. Thank you, most kindly though." he walks off.
>>35487 "Yes, I have graciously accepted their pleads to aid you in your quest to strike back at those nefarious villains who have absconded with your rightful treasure that I get 5% of." Cheesy grin.
>>35496 I'm also going to have to have an awkward conversation with Trollestia that will make all of Torcuil's communications with her seem like masterpieces of social interaction
>>35498 "Oh you found me right off the bat,... habibi, but you didn't figure out who it was until well after we'd done our business. I mean,... before those dreadful thieves came and absconded with your goods!"
>>35503 He sighs consolingly. "I know, you'd love to think that this ship is entirely yours and that no one has ever used it or knows anything about it, but thats simply not so. Whats more, you went around throwing coin for every trinket we showed you. It doesn't take a genius to realize "Oh hey, maybe they have it in the floating crystal that happens to have an expansive vault that I've never been to before."."
"As for where I come from, that's a very long story that perhaps I'll tell you once I've rested a bit. Some ghastly miscreants had me encased in solid metal for days! Can you imagine?" he says with almost imperceptible sarcasm.
>>35505 "We have additional rooms upstairs that are fairly nice, if you would like one" GM, before you leave, can I approach Trollestia on an occasion to do it alone?
>>35506 "I can tell you many things! he assumes a cavalier pose. "But not now. A wonderful evening to you," he says bowing slightly. >>35507 >Approach Trollestia alone Like, now?
After feeding her birds, Tracy plants two of her poles outside the entrance for aesthetics, and gets to work on preparing the fiend corpses, out in front of the stables.
>>35517 After butchering the fiend coprses and packaging them in the freezer (the tower does have a freezer, right?), Tracy heads down to the forge to see if those dimerterium shackles were ever finished, and busies herself with making moar knives. Could she make a few punching daggers barbs/hooks in them to get stuck in her targets' bodies after a Sneak Attack? Pic Semi-related.
>>35520 I ran a shit load of different numbers, and your biggest issue with a sneak attack will be landing the hit. The damage will be epic-tier any ways. I personally recommend getting the weapon finesse feat that way you can add your dexterity modifier to your attack rolls and get +4, and also use Darkie's Rapier of Stabbing which has a +2, for a total of +6 on top of her +11 or +12 base attack bonus. For example, her damage from the sneak attack is so high that she'd kill Trumpaladin in a single round... If all three attacks landed. But I've made his AC so damned high that she'd need to roll something like a 12 or higher for even the first hit to land, even if he were caught without his ring shield and even if she has +5 bonus attack points I don't know about.
Against a target that actually has a reasonable AC - let's say, Trollestia, who has a 20 AC flat-footed (I'm assuming that's how you'd sneak attack her) Tracy would need to roll an 8-modifiers for the first hit to land, and something like a 13-modifiers for the second to land, and The third is either the same or an 18. However, if all three hits landed, Trollestia would be drained of more than half of her hit points in a single round.... Unless GM is adding the cohort modifier to her, in which case she'd get an additional ~84 HP...
>>35523 I wan't planning on having her kill her immediately. Chargers don't advance as cohorts, fyi. They advance by character class. "..~Hmmm..! Well, I'd like to have another crack that place to see what's inside anyway. I already registered, so I think I'll just 'skip' the line next time..."
>>35525 When then? It's almost the same in terms of HP, just subtract 8 for +~76HP "As best as we understand the Emperor's scheme, Cardishore is in on some grander conspiracy. We'll return, that is for sure. Given the risks it's best not to do it alone. We have a damned fine lead on those Drow, I suggest we follow that first"
>>35520 If she crafted those partly out of dimerterium, they could make a great SB for mages and monsters with annoying magick abilities. She only needs one set of shackles now that her dungeon is kill anyway, so may as well make use of the material. Are there any kind of non-magical weapons like that? Ones made to get caught in an enemy's body for residual damage? In open-world games, weapons that caused enemies to bleed-out were always nifty to me, especially for large or fast targets.
You mean like a barbed weapon that causes its target to slowly bleed to death after being hit? That sounds most useful against animals and most useful as an arrow to be shot from a bow. Most targets are either soft enough to kill in one round or are hardy enough that they have all sorts of immunity and damage reduction
>>35530 >SB Silver bullet: a crippling attack that nerfs the crap out of an otherwise powerful target Yeah, it would be best for arrows, but idk how to make a crossbow she can use yet. I just thought of a small dagger that'd be so hooked it'd be difficult to tear up without messing-up the target. Also, I got those dimerterium ingots a while back, and I want to use them for something.
>>35529 I expect there to be a lot of high-tech magical bullshit in Cardishore. It wouldn't hurt to have a nice anti-magic shank to throw in the gears for a Disable Device check. Dimerterium is the best. I wish they had more options to use it in the Witcher III. The story gave me some ideas though.
>Dimeterium Shackles The problem is, Lenos hasn't been seen since Kiynen showed up,... and he's the only one who could pull it off atm. >knives/daggers Knock yourself out
>>35533 She was just seeing if they were laying around since the time she asked (months ago). They're not as important to her now since her dungeon is kill though. Tracking daggers/darts would be more useful at this point, especially if they can interfere with creature's magick abilities. >Lenos hasn't been seen since Kiynen showed up I ship it. How long has he been gone? About a week give or take?
