Well, the party has gotten some things in order and has made some arrangements and plans to attack Court City in full and not as a half-assed rescue mission because of a brain worm. Speaking of brain worms, the party just kinda shrugged their shoulders and forgot about that whole "Infernius going insane and running off" bit. Hmmm. Oh well. But anyway, everyone's got some ideas and plans to put in motion. Its too bad that Port Barry is currently surrounded one 4 fronts,... that's going to complicate things.
Welcome back to the Game thread, there's over 3 dozen of 'em by now, so pardon me if I skip the introductory formalities. If you want to join, or perhaps just join in on the shitposting cuz bored, feel free. I'm working on a metric to allow new players to get in without having to go through the process of full-on mapping out a character.

>>39077You put ranks into knowledge arcana and knowledge architecture and engineering, right? Maybe you could roll to identify the structure.
>>39073Well for starters - as is often the case - Thez didn't really say anything, she just <whoooof>-gone, so where she is is not certain (its not a secret, but process man process!).
>>39079Correct
>>39075>>39076K. When the time comes (I'm still organizing), be specific with attacks, cuz that's going to matter.
>>39081Would knocking her off of her broom count as a Disarm attack?
>>39081>CorrectShe fired both of her prepared shots?
>>39083Dude, don't get nerfed for excess meta
>>39085You gave those roc eggs to Tracy's faggot 100% for free without him having to plan anything out or do anything correctly. Don't give him Trollestia as easily
[1d20 = 20]>>39080Thats a good point
Rolling for identification.
I'm assuming I was able to fully rank those up for Torc, but IDk how to apply bonuses
>>39088I would have prefered that 20 on something else, but okay
>>39091The pyramid wafts arcane and necromantic energy, and it appears quite old, but still quite polished and maintained. There are no apparent entries, and it glides along the water effortlessly and without rocking. It is a 4-sided black pyramid, of a similar (though different) material as Court City. Its basically a creepy-floating-temple that you need to be undead or ethereal-able to enter.
>>39092>INB4 no one helps Trump in cause he says ethereal is bullshitIntresting, how big is it?
>>39093>paliUhhhh,... its a pyramid. Its pretty fuggin big, big enough to allow me to put a dungeon in later on.
>>39093I never had an issue with mounted Tracy's su abilities. He can ride Tracy. And if not Tracy, then Thez
Alright, so we have the character "starting positions". This is gonna be hairy, cuz there's several operations going on simultaneously. My head may explode, in spite of efforts to prevent it.
>>39097>TRoll 3d20
>>39098im headed back to the sewers.
[3d20 = 23]>>39098Lets begin, shall we?
>3d20May the hands of kek guide this roll
[1d20 = 20]>>39100>kek wills itALright! Let start this off shall we?
As Tracy and Trump speed toward the vacuous black cloud that has a broom-handled puppet sticking out of it, weapons drawn and ready to lay the smackdown,....
"Disintegrate"
... a thin green beam shoots out of it, aimed at the shiny human on the weird horse speeding toward.
At the same time, the onslaught of water-ghouls ceases. They haven't left, but there's dozens of them staring at Torcuil and Troll with beady black eyes and a malevolent expression on their faces, which are just above water, all along the docks. Its spoopy AF.
Meanwhile, sounds of things breaking can be heard from inside the Port.
>>39104Oh fuck, that 20 is scary
>>39104Please tell me the dice is my fort save
>>39106"uh Troll, unicorns can read emotion right? The fucking hell is up with the ghouls?"
>>39106Thats not me, thats Tr/Tr
>>39107Nope, Disintegrate is a touch-attack spell, and that was the roll for it. What is Trump's motified Fortitude saving throw?
Ur lucky touch-attack spells don't get critical hit modifiers
>>39107You did cast that Eagle's Splendor before the charge, right?
>>39111Trips suggest he did,... I'm gonna have to calculate shit, hold on.
>>39109Does she need a caster check for that given the 19 spell resistance?
I guess it isn't like I wasn't expecting this to happen
10 base +4 charisma +1 stone of good luck +1 Constitution bonus +that cloak of resistance, like +3 or +4
So something like +19, maybe +20 to his fort without eagles splendor and an additional +2 with eagles splendor, which would be +21 or +22
>>39113Yes. So +22, and I'm working on the spell resistance, but I'm having difficulty finding the entry.
Okay, I'm not finding anything pertaining to Paladin spell resistence, I'm only finding entries to do with Paladin mount resistance, which is foolish desu. How would a mount get spell resistence if the paladin doesn't?
>>39114Spell resistance is a caster level check that RBG would have to roll for. She's probably strong enough to overcome 19 spell resistance with any roll higher than like a 2, but anything is good
>>39115It's from his armor. He has 19 spell resistance on the Armor
[1d20 = 11]>>39116>armorOh right. Okay, rolling for resistance check
Resistance failure. NOW is the +22 fortitude check roll
[1d20 = 6]>>39111>"If I die, do not let them take my body. And please don't turn any part of me into a damned drinking mug or chair or clothing accessory">>39118With faith in his equipment and natural strength, and certainty in his cause and purpose, Trumpaladin now trusts in the dice
"Elway, watch over me"
>>39113>>39117See this is why I said to go with the Cloak of Charisma. Spell resistance isn't omnipotent for spell effects. Divine Grace is meant so you can put everything into Char.
[5d6 = 16]>>39119Yay, he saves
not by much tho. It would have been awkward for him to crumble into dust during this glorious charge.
>>39119Except disintegrate, as the name implies, destroys the body. Problem solved I guess
>>39120The cloak of resistance is better
Okay, long and drawn out I know.
Trump gets hit by a pale green beam that hurts, comparable to a good gash from an axe, though he shows no visible damage. This doesn't detract from his/Tracy's charge however.
Meanwhile Infernius heads off to the sewers, where there is a huge pile of poo (there was a poo demon), and a curious woman(?) who seems to be eating it.
>>39108T> "They don't have emotions in the typical sense, they're just animate forms of rage and vile."
>>39123Ready attack with Smite Evil
>>39121These damned mages are scary. I am glad I prepared for them sort of
Aw shit, I g2g for at least half an hour...
>>39125You're welcome to try. How are you planning to knock her off the broom, given that you can't see her, all you see is a creepy puppet-thing?
>>39127Wading in against an opponent with concealment 'eh?
>>39128Can you state your attack so we can play through the first round?
>>39131"GUNS! GIVE ME YOUR GUNS!" she screams as she turns toward you. "FEINSTEIN WILL HAVE YOUR GUNS!" she says, still eating poo.
Dianne Feinstein is a shrivelled husk of a human, clearly undead. She's eating poo 'cuz it amuses GM for her to do so, so she is. Infernius is not yet in melee range, but has a moment to decide what to do next (range weapons, spells, or close distance).
Meanwhile, a voice speaks into the mind of Torcuil and Trollestia.
"You must pass the pyramid in order to find out what is inside it"
>>39129Pfft! Concealment only increases the chance of a miss by 20% to 50%. She ain't a Rogue, so there's no special danger. The only way to disperse the cloud anyways is to use Tracy's sword's gust feature, and Tracy's faggot is more interested in making attack types that don't exist than using his equipment wisely.
What's the alternative to wading in? Prance around it while RBG spams insta-kill spells at us until we fail our saving throws?
>>39136>2 20'sOh ffs man. SHould I even roll? Gawd, let me check real quick
>>39136It... It finally happened. Infernius finally rolled a Natural 20 in a situation that wasn't Torcuil's attack of opportunity against him. AND THEN HE ROLLED A SECOND ONE!
I haven't seen anything this glorious since I rolled a 20 on pinning Tracy and another 20 on a >rape roll
>>39138Roll twice to see if those give double damage
>>39140a nat 20 gives x2 damage.
>>39140Well, there is a problem. I did say in
>>39133that Infernius is not yet in range.
Technically, those 20s are void.
I'm serious.
Like, unless he wants to magnificently swing at the air in front of him, there's not much I can do.
I'm not GOING to do that, but if I were to preserve those rolls (which I really wanna), that means Feinstein gets first move, and you can guess from how RBG started what's coming next.
>>39142infernuis lets her kill him.
[3d20 = 36]>>39135I thought she was using Darkness, not smoke.
May as well start off by trying to blow the old lady away with Gust of Wind then.
The chain dances, so rolling for its attacks, attempting to knock her off the broom.
Oh! It misses! It whisks by his face, but fails to make contact!
Okay now Infernius can gets to murder,... which with the critical modifiers of his being a flaming-burst sword ON TOP of the basic crit stats for the sword its self, I don't need to roll.
>>39147Y? Then he might be dead
>>39148everything is right in the world now.
>>39148Lol
Can I make a full Attack? Tracy's faggot is making a full attack
Full Attack:
Smite Evil, Slash, Slash, Slash
>>39150>>39146>*looks up da rules*They were in a Spirited Charge, right?
Now that I think of it, I don't think they can make full attacks....
>>39151Well fuck you too dice
His modifiers should be +16 base (-5 each subsequent attack) +5 strength +7 Vanderiem on Evil and +4 charisma modifier on the first attack for +32 on the first roll, +23 the second, +
That would be
36
38
24
17
>>39152Shh!
That's correct though. One attack each
>>39146>all these 20s, fugShe's not actually flying on the broom-handle, she's holding it so to give ppl something to look at and is otherwise floating on air. The first attack lands, but the 1 voids any further attacks via the fumble, which if it wasn't a semi-animate weapon would cause a disarm. We'll just write it off as a "fail of further attacks".
>>39153Yes, ty
>>39154Spirited charge 'eh? You sure you don't want to re-think that? This is not an opponent that you want to stay out of range of.
>>39152Don't knock her off the broom. That's not even her on the broom. That's a human face on top of the broom as a distraction which you are falling for for some reason. The actual RBG is hiding in the cloud. Start striking the cloud to kill her, or clear her cover. Just kill her in as few rounds as possible so we don't get insta-killed
>>39155I just want to get close enough to use my sword. That is all I have ever wanted. I would prefer to get right next to her and slash until she's dead, but whatever the circumstances give me I will take
>>39155>>39148gibe description of brutality
>>39158As the beam narrowly misses Infernius' face, he charges forward, igniting his greatsword and splaying light all around the otherwise dark and decrepit sewers, and casting full light on Feinstein. She
looks ebil and sinister, even beyond that she's a lich (she is BTW), her skin drawn tight and pale from age and wear. Her jaw gapes as he rushes forward, neatly cleaving most of her neck (causing her head to lop to the side awkwardly, though still partially connected) and cutting through her abdomen, effectively disemboweling her of her putrid and decayed internals, which are already largely full of poo. The third attack doesn't land unfortunately, and though not quite dead, she's quite fugged up and since her throat is cut she can't speak.
>>39159"hitler will damn you to hell,jew."
>>39153By those rolls, 3 of the attacks land, including the initial smite ebil. Gawd, I'm gonna have to do some excel charts for all this shit.
[2d20 = 19]>>39160She attempts to speak, but only gurgles poo from her throat, as she attempts to claw at Infernius with both hands.
[3d10 = 18]
You have Vanderiem listed as a 1d10 weapon, Trumpaladin's strength modifier is 5x1.5=7.5, and the smite evil hit adds +16 damage to that attack
I love the mathematized combat system. It's my favorite thing about the d&d system. If you want to outsource the math to me, I'll take it
rolling for Vanderiem's damage
>>3916318 plus 7.5x3 plus 16. 56.5 damage
Crap, g2g for about 20 min
I LIVE
>crowd boos>>39134"So, should we check it out?"
>>39149Kek
>>39165Peace
>>39151>Not using Vanderiem's Feathfall special ability to make an additional attack in the same round>Not making a melee touch attack, and then blowing RBG away with 96 HP of damage from Paladin's lay of hands while the Eagle's Splendor is activeUm... My excuse is that I'm saving them for the stronger enemies we'll encounter later...
Faster than I thought
>>39168T> "I don't think that was an invitation."
>>39169Nice explanation
[1d20 = 12][1d8+5 = 9]>>39171No, she hit with one of her swipes.
>>39172i cast cure serious wounds on her.
>>39163>math is his favorite partOkay then.. Good for you, I guess.
Tracy goes for a full Round melee with her cane-sword, intent of chopping the old judge to pieces.
Her chain continues to strike its designated target, tormenting Ruth with relentless attacks.
Tracy's weapons could use names later on. I'll think of some.
>>39175>Claiming three attacks from a chainNo, the chain is wielded as a weapon in place of another
>>39170"Welp I gues we're going. Can I hitch a ride?"
