Well now. The characters find themselves in an entirely different Rick than the last time they found themselves in a pickle. In this instance, the Paladin has just participated in murder, and it wasn't even the right target! Tracy also has bloody on her hands, but that's old news anyway.
Not sure how its gonna go, cuz some players are indisposed (at the moment) and there's usually hella bantz for every several-hour period, but why wait? ^_^

Oh, if you're new, this is an RP thread based (increasingly) loosely on D&D 3.5, but allowing for any genre or game (but it has to make sense). Feel free to shitpost, or bant, or even join in. Some call this the gay bath-house, but that's cuz they're bored and tired and don't have anything fun to distract themselves with,... like this thread. ^_^

And Torcuil was okay with just summoning a random mare, not telling her of the danger, and leaving her to die horribly and either to cease to exist, or to be revived and become the ward of a sex fiend?

It kind of annoys me though..
I thought a Good-Domain Cleric would make for a more gratifying kill. I really expected her to show up when Tracy was torturing those animals too..
It's not as ebil if she already has it coming..

Yes, for the reason he just doesn't give a shit. He (and i for that matter) never expected the Unicorn to be fully fuctioning. I expected a normal horse with a horn basiclly, and some bullshity magic made it seem like Troll. Then Tracy in her bloodlust, doesn't bother to check and goes for the kill.
To him it was another animal, he wasn't expecting intellegence.

Plan T has been hilarious thus far. It was delightfully clever, snd it was hilarious to see the "element of originality" getting cucked a second time by a plan that was unoriginal. Watching Torcuil getting peaved by how his entirely successful scheme had unintended consequences is hilarious. And I got a unicorn out of it.

Hooray

What I don't get though is, why was Tracy not able to discern the difference in their auras? Troll's aura is Overwhelming-tier: Tracy should've been able to tell the difference in 3 whole rounds.

Because you used it before you saw her. Your detect good should have been confused by Infernius, Trump, Trollestia's lingering aura, the lingering aura of Infernius and Trump, and all sorts of other things. As GM pointed out to you, though you didn't listen, is that detect good only has a range of 60 feet, and you were much, much further away than that when you cast it. If you had done an alignment check on Trollestia, you would have gotten it (probably). You didn't do that. You cast one spell while you were way out of range and surrounded by auras that could easily look like Trollestia

You didn't cast detect good after you came in line of sight. For all you know, she actually was on the docks and then disappeared before you came in sight of the double. Next time, do an alignment check. Or get your Pali to do the alignment check for you. If the target comes back as neutral or lawful good, even if it's aura is just as strong as Troll's, it isn't Troll

Were you not paying attention earlier? Lenos said that you can use the Control room of Trump Tower to hack into different towers, and open doors. And if he's wrong, darkie has a portable hole, and we have place shift and shit loads of other ways of getting into the evil tower. Just fly or float or whatever onto the surface, remove the dimension lock, and then use a portable hole to get into the structure before they realize the dimension lock has been turned off and teleport out of there

She did observe for three rounds, the same three rounds it takes to use Detect Gud to maximum precision
>strandard actions
It doesn't say anything about that.
>If an assassin studies his victim for 3 rounds and then makes a sneak attack with a melee weapon that successfully deals damage, the sneak attack has the additional effect of possibly either paralyzing or killing the target (assassin’s choice). While studying the victim, the assassin can undertake other actions so long as his attention stays focused on the target and the target does not detect the assassin or recognize the assassin as an enemy.
I think trying to discern the intensity of an aura still counts as focused on a target. Detect Gud is an Su Ability, not a spell, it's components shouldn't be overly distracting.

No, it says "studies." Not "takes interest." Not "does other things that involve the target." It says "studies."

Think about it logically. The idea behind a death attack us that an assassin looks for a vulnerable spot on the target - an opening in the armor, a blind spot. Something that can be exploited. If their attention is focused on reading magical auras, then they are not looking for vulnerable positions on the target.

You could have done three rounds of detect evil and then three rounds of study. That unicorn wasn't going anywhere. She was distracted. You were lazy and didn't ask GM to clarify the strength of the the aura. You can't just ask "does she detect Trollestia." That's lazy role play, and detect good doesn't tell you that. You have to first ask does it detect anything, how many targets does it detect, where are they, and then finally - how intense is the aura. That's what I do with detect evil. You can do the same. Be specific in your questions. You also didn't run an alignment check.

We're all waiting on the whole party to assemble. That's what an RPG is. It's group play. You can do your own thing if it doesn't take much time or when time moves freely but for something like this you can't "unpause" the game for everyone and spend a whole day when every hour counts.

These threads are relentless. I want to go a day where I can go to the gun range, go to the mall, eat with friends, and not need to constantly check my phone every four minutes to make sure I am not missing out on action.

I don't need an explaination, just no offscreen murder of human travellers in Port barry

The meat is animals from Trollestia's forest, simmered from the fire, and the skeleton is from an undead zombie. Or maybe a citizen whose soul got sucked out by a devourer - Tracy isn't picky, and who knows
