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. ^_^

>>40357And 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?
>>40358It 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..
[disappointed ebil-player noises]
>>40359>Trump: WTF you gotta keep Troll not get a robot waifu>Torc trys that>Trump: WTF why are you keeping Troll?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.
>>40360Plan 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
>>40361Where you see an animal, I see a potential waifu. That is what separates us. The virgin brony from the Chad horse fucker
>>40362What 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.
>>40364Is there a spell that duplicates auras?
What use is detect ebil if it can't tell a good Cleric from a regular good NPC?
>>40366Idk, I let GM take care of that
>>40363Because 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
>>40364And a good dice roll
>>40368This, consider it a heat of the moment sort of omission
>>40369Even after 3 rounds?
How long does she have to observe a target to tell if it's a Cleric or not?
Well fug it.
Tracy spends the rest of the day investigating the forest, town and docks for any sign of Troll. She's tenacious.
Is there any town left on the map that hasn't been visited yet?
>>40369You 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
>>40372I said she did it again as she was observing for her Death Attack.
>>40371>rest of the dayOh no you don't. We've got to bust into this dungeon and destroy the phylactories before the lich resurrect and the dimension door spell wears off of the find a way around it
>>40374Figure that out first then.
>>40373>casting spells>observing for death attackPick one. You can spend the required three consecutive rounds to observe for a death attack, or you cast use spells, but you cannot do both simultaneously
>>40377>pick oneDon't have to: you can do other things, so long as your attention is fixed on the target.
>>40378how to get into the pyramid.
>>40379Where do you see that rule?
>how to get into the pyramidWere 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
>>40381That a death attack requires anything less than three full round or at least standard actions
>>40380Yeah, but someone has to do the hacking.
Try having your character explore the
>>40382She did observe for three rounds, the same three rounds it takes to use Detect Gud to maximum precision
>strandard actionsIt 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.
>>40382Yeah, observing requires attention. It lists that you can perform other actions, but I wouldn't allow spell-casting at the same time.
>>40383No, 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.
>>40384What kind of abilities can you use then?
>>40386Move, draw/prepare a weapon/item, consume a potion, a variety of things.
>>40387Alright then.
So, no spell-like abilities?
I already assume Tracy doesn't find anything in the area.
For the sake of exploration, is there any part of the port that hasn't been explored yet?
>>40389She was grappled and taken back to the tower a while ago.
Your character doesn't have all day. The entire party is assualting by the afternoon or hopefully earlier
>>40390Not until someone figures out the controls in the portal room.
>>40392Is that what he's doing? I thought he was crafting with Infernius.
>>40393Correct, they adjourned to the forges
>>40393We'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.
\r
Welp, looks like drama is coming
See you faggot later.
>>40395 Tell me about it. Part of me is morbidly anxious every time I come home from work just who knows what went on.
\r
>>40416
I don't mind that, I was responding to the "these threads are relentless" comment
Seriously? Just delete the whole thing?
>>40422Not dealing with this shit on top of the other shit right now
>>40423sighAlright, well I'm gonna crash then, have a good night all
>>40433>>40432>>40426well, if you can't beat em
*dab*
>>40435
"Now where did this come from?"
