>>35182"It was a collapse-able platform, that could be quickly placed or removed allowing access to the pocket. I don't know how it worked." True
>>35183>Out of range for a surprise attackThen i have time to get Vanderiem drunk
This is why random encounters are gay, cuz players always "know stuff">>35186You're carrying booze? I recall no acquisition of booze,....
>>35181[frisky nightmare noises]
"D-do we charge, Flashy? They're ebil r-right? I can stab them? Let me stab something..!"
>>35184Gib dialogue, faggot
Is that an order to charge or to kill?
>>35186No you don't.
>>35187I acquired three bottles from the kitchen of grain alcohol before leaving to go somewhere, I think it was before leaving to Krenshall
>>35185"Did he have a name for it?"
Torc stands up and acts like he's getting ready to leave
>>35187I had to ask how stats affect rolls, do you think I know shit?
[3d20 = 25]>>35190You don't need it.
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.
>>35190GM suspects Trump is playing on his laziness and unwillingness to pour through previous logse_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 shitI 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.
>>35193Hit, miss, miss.
[4d20 = 45]>>35193Trumpaladin'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
>>35194If Trump does not have Thez's girdle then the bonuses are +26 +21 +16 +11 with bull's strength and drunkenness cancelling each other out
[4d20 = 32]>>35196Roll again? Okay. See
>>35197 (You) which I think is accurate as to attack bonuses
>>35197It 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.
>>35198Make 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
>>35200>Spirited charge with these shoes, you could knock-out just about anything with a mounted meleeHuh?
Ride by sure, Just he slashes
>>35201We're mounted and never dismounted
>>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.
>>35202You do realize that voids all the stealth and shit right?
>>35204I 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
>>35206Why 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.
>>35209Well, 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.
>>35210Get ready to defend yourself.
Did you bother to put any ranks into Ride?
[3d20 = 15][1d10 = 4]>>35210For 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.
>>35209Look, 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.
>>35212Glad it dies
>>35213Alright, 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.
>>35213I 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.
>>35214He 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.
>>35214Fuck it.
"Want to be ridden pony?"
The birds are essentially in a triangle formation, with 4 at the back, 2 at the middle, and one charging.
>>35215Tracy looses her chain and gets ready to attack the birds as soon as the come in range, blowing smoke and activating her cloak.
>>35217That'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.
>>35216She turns to the side and puts her body between Trumpaladin and the and the birds.
>>35218"YES!"
>>35219>>35220Trumpaladin mounts horsey if possible
>back
Torc arrives at the library and looks for books about magical items or dimensions
>>35220You can expend your action for the round closing in on Trump's position, if being mounted is your intention.
>>35223This, though Trump is out of range and has a full round to mount, since that seems his intention.
>>35220[irrationally-protective nightmare noises]
*smoke fumes*
I said I threw away the charts, but I remember the courses of action.I g2g for 5-10 minutes....
>>35203*scratches behind mr sneks eyes*
>>35226"so vrees do you wish to be free?"
>>35225A cursory review indicates that whatever item he is describing is not listed, and is therefore a custom-fabrication.
>>35228Snek likes this one.
>>35227So, 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?"
>>35227Back.
>>35226Can he use those Flanking boots to close the distance next turn?
>>35230This guy is awfully sarcastic.
>>35231eye-twitchI 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
>>35231I 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
>>35230Mounts horsey
>>35230"what if i said you can earn your freedom?"
>>35228Mr. Snek: *more tounge flicking*
>>35230Hmmm, well I got nothing. Maybe if Lenos was back...
