>>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*
>>35032can you describe the way the cast is made around his head?
>>35035I 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.
>>35036*pets pony*
"Good morning Tracy"
*removes knife from pony mouth*
*inserts tongue into pony mouth*
>>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 downDoes 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."
>>35041Alter 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>gesturesThis 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 >>34951D'aww. Has breakfast with pony
>>35044"I have things I need to do, but sure. What do you have in mind?"
>>35045"open mouth or me cant feed."
>>35042"Ah okay"
Torc teleport to the tower
>>35044>ninja-sealDepends 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.
>>35048Where in the tower?
>>35049*makes sure to get all of the vegetables in the spoon.*
>>35051K. Torcuil and Thez <POP> back to the tower. Distantly, they hear a very irritated "AHHHH".
"IIIIIIIIIIIIII'NIIIIIIIIIIS!" Thez yells.
>>35046"It irks me to let those targets get away... What do you say we investigate the area and see where they went today?"
>>35053"Now what the hell is he doing?"
Torc heads to the room where the voice came from
>>35054"Do you mean in the Ethereal realm? I personally am just fine to be the target that got away"
>>35056"There were several Ebil auras, don't you think we should investigate?"
Also, I'm starving for XP. >>35055Torcuil 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.
>>35058"Uhhh, Infernius, what are you doing?
>>35058>>35059"hey ana, darkie was hungry."
>>35059>>35060"Uh yeah, I thought we were starving him. Have you tried interrogating him first?"
>>35061"We where leaving him in solitary containment!
Trust me, its effective..."
>>35061"no but he might be more inclined to talk if we feed him."
>>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.
>>35064Torc considers punching Darkie in the face
>>35064*continues feeding*
"here comes the luftwaffe."
>>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*
>>35066Okay, 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 systemWat?!
>>35069>how exactlyDoesn't he have a Helm of Teleportation?
>>35071Pls gib bootz for Sneak Attacks. They're more useful on her. >>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*
>>35070GM 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"
>>35075Bandits 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. >>35072>>35071Helm of Flash-Step (quickened Dimension Door, range limit 100')
>>35075This. Etherealness doesn't end when incapacitated
>>35075She'll go wherever he wants to; just decide where to go so we can get to the exploring/combat/whatever.
>>35076>>35079"Why don't we follow that footpath to the base of the mountain?"
>>35073"You uh,... seem to,... know
? what you're doing, so I'll be back," she says with a <whoooof>.
>>35080"That's fine by me, ~Flashy."
*buries bones, stamps out fire, and tramples cuckshed*
>a few minutes laterThey're on the road.
[1d20+21 = 37]
*follows path to the base of the mountain*
