With Nuts of course.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule, Hearths Warming, or some other degenerate (Kwanza) or (((unspoken))) tradition, I hope you have a safe and 'as happy as possible' holiday season as you no doubt maneuver in and out of the world of normies and others!
I have no idea if any crucial gaming will occur weekend, but its about to get funky-fresh on several fronts. We last left Torcuil trying to navigate through Krenshal for someone skilled and crazy enough to build a Robo-ponk. Trumpaladin and Tracy were getting their things together to hunt a Unicorn with Elway's blessing and direction. Thez is being a little bit emo (its the hormones) while Infernius continues being a dutiful and upstanding guy.
What will happen next, and in what order? Will the players defy GM's careful designs for the umpteenth time? You can bet on that!

>>37373Well, I'll probably lurk for the next couple hours.
>>37379Kek. I just saw that one on my watchlist.
>>37295I tried cleaning up her face and making the hair look a bit less terrible.
Desaturated this Wood Elf
>>37389Good. Good. Blog post with us
I honestly believe it's not a bad movie. I watched it a couple nights ago with a friend when we went to see it at midnight. It's definitely better than the other two disney Star Wars films and any of the prequals,
although it drags on for way too long - it should have been shorter.
But I think it's a solid film So I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday, allow me to get meta for a moment.
I've kind of painted myself into a corner. This was supposed to be the point at which the party becomes aware of certain aspects of the world through a lengthy villainous monologue/description, but Liches don't do that. In fact, in this context all they would do is attack. No explanations or dialogue, just a throwing of themselves and their resources against their opponent. Liches revive after a short period of time, and there's always more corpses to animate, so who cares? So, in the conclusion of the immediate situation, I'm going to introduce a new NPC to give convenient explanations. In this way, we can still meta as needed, but in a very tongue-in-cheek gesture it will enable characters to know stuff by way of convenient explanations. Pic related is convenient eplanation man
>>37391>Implying Thez shouldn't already know all of this shitThat's okay, it's very easy to imagine the lichs have human lackeys that are taken alive
I'm finally making some plans for world building after the war is over.
The lack of international commerce has been putting a hold on my world building for a while, but hopefully I can get back in the gameUm... I got a few things I want for my Fae after the battle is over... >>37396Do I redeem myself by currently reading The Art of the Deal?
>>37397Yes. Absolutely. I've felt kind of lonely here making references to it, but no one gets my references because I am the only person who has read it
>>37398D'aww, thanks. Merry Christmas Dixie
>>37399Prepare to have your references understood Donny
>>37400Mein Kampf is next on my reading list don't worry
>>37391Well, I assume the liches didn't go down without a fight. How many spell slots did it take to fell them? How much energy did we expend?
>>37402Oh certainly not, and the Liches timed their arrival. At the same time they're arriving (there's three) a mix of screams of alarm and panic can be heard from within the port.
For those at the bridge, there's Ruth Bader Ginsberg. For those at the port there is Nanci Pelosi, and for those at the sewer (is there anyone even?) there's Dianne Feinstein.
>>37403Infernius was supposed to be at the sewer, but we can kill Fienstien after The Notorious RBG is semi-kill
>>37402Do you not want to play out the combat sequence?
>>37405
Why do you assume we are not going to kill the licks in combat? They need a chance to kill us, after all
>>37404Infernius left the sewer.
>>37403Can we start the charge soon?
>>37407I am aware. He should head back
>>37404I had planned to play it out a bit, as players are able. The biggest risk to players is human resources, reputation, and immediate adversary.
>>37405Thats the the thing about liches, you can kill the image/presence all you want and it'll b back in some days; one must kill the phylactery, also for swag.
>>37408Allyps, vargouilles, shadows, and other base undead lunge at Trump, each dying in rapid and often continuous succession when coinciding with Vandereium's abilities. Maintaining a perimeter is pretty easy. Trump can turn undead, say "Football" (1x/day) or move (incurring attacks of opportunity, aside from attacks or item use.
>>37410Well fuck me. Where is RBG relative to me? Where am I? Am I unmounted again?
>>37410Can't Tracy just fly over all of the grunts and charge straight for Ruth?
>>37413All three listed enemy types are flying...
>>37412High in the air, appearing as a dense dark cloud or fog, a disgusting mask of decayed flesh is stuck half-assedly out one side on a broom handle as a "recognizable face"
>>37414Fuck it. Trample Attack while attempting to Overrun them, while Trump keeps swinging his sword, and continue the charge. Tracy is Huge and has 31 Str, so she can Trample just about anything that doesn't choose to get out of her way.
>>37415Alright, is it possible to move forward without more than normal attacks? What about using the generals to shoot arrows to clear a path?
Can cute sex horse use the grape-shot type effect of the Trebuchet fire to clear a path?
Does daylight scare them away?
>>37416>>37415Um... Trumpaladin re-kills anything undead that comes in range
>>37419
It's not a weapon and it's not in range
Now should we use NPCs with range attacks to help clear the gap, proceed forward at risk, or use the holy word to clear a circle?
>>37420I meant Disarm, and a broom could count as a weapon.
Anyway, can Tracy knock the old "lady" off the broom with her 60 ft chain?
>>37417Yes, the trebuchet.<WHUDDDD> sounds off from the rear. "What are you aiming at? No seriously, what? The giant is meta-kill, what else is there?" Slovenia demands, showing visual cues that she had most enjoyed fing the toys. "Sound off targets!" her voice somehow cuts through the din of hundreds of undead spoops clamoring around.
>>37415To Fae
>"Second enemy wave appears to be proceeding from the same points of attack as the first. Send all combat personnel back to the walls, and engage via ranged attacks. You yourself shall engage in flying targets that come too close, or assist the ground troops">>37422"Target this dense horde of flying and grounded undead! It is absolutely impossible for you to miss. Target the mass between us and the cloud!"
>>37421>>37422And... My parents are making me eat dinner. Be back in a few minutes
Tracy is using her free-action smoke cloud every turn, btw.
>>37424Tracy continues plowing straight towards Ruth, crushing bones beneath her fiery hooves as she charges, reading her dancing chain to lash at the old caster once she gets withing 60 ft.
>>37424I too must eat. Not now, but soon. Go forth and nom good paladin. This part upcoming is where we take all the cards and resources we have been hiding/stashing/cultivating and throw them - almost literally - against the undead hoard context.
