What it is? Its an ongoing thread-based fantasy RPG
What it do? Players do their thing based off dice scripts and 3.5e D&D as a rules baseline.
Throughout the week we shitpost at one another and on weekends we kill shit or surmount some form of obstacle. New players always welcome.
The party currently has a trebuchet, a series of cannons, and an airship with another series of cannons aimed at a floating black pyramid just out from the docks of Port Barry. Its not actually a pyramid, its an octahedron, but its half submerged. Some quick thinking from the resident Mage kept it from teleporting away and escaping, and now the party is looking to crack that bitch open and see what sorta toys are inside. And kill shit.

Alright. Sorry Infernius can't make it, we'll just say he pulled something while sex.

Well, here's the thing. That second shot was a 1, and the dice roll is to determine "how bad".

Okay, not so bad. The shell failed to fire properly. Only half of the shots hit the target though.

As the smoke from the initial fire dissipates, the flanking engines begin their initial assault. The Pyramid shows cracks and deformation along the barrage point, but appears to be holding together. Thez <whoooof> appears on the ship, alerted to the activity by the obvious cannon-fire.

Torc casts meteor swarm at the pyramid

"Uhm,... okay,.... What do I do?"

Meteor swarm - while a brutally effective spell on hoomans and other things, is not terribly effective against buildings. In fact, it is totally uneffective.
So, while 4 large glowing spheres streak off and collide with the pyramid, resulting in a huge fiery blast,... it appears to have had no effect.

Scaring off the level 7 cleric celestisl during the undead invasion and not waiting a day to do it later. Setting the supply of wood on fire.

>no effect
No effect? It means that the structure is being bombarded by spheres from 4 different angles now, only one of which actually will cause a breach. And how will they know which one, or that any of them caused a breach, until we are already upon them

That didn't cause any problems. She only left after the battle was over.
>Setting the supply of wood on fire.
Even if it hadn't been damp, a whole forest doesn't burn that easily. Wood supply was never threatened.

Okay. As the second volley fires, a number of things occur. First and most obvious, is remember that canon that misfired? BOOOM.
Secondly, especially with that 20 there, the second volley successfully rends a hole in the side of the pyramid.
I'm assuming that the assembled siege engines continue their fire, with archers taking position to cover the entrance.
Except on board the airship. The explosion of the second cannon knocks the airship from its position, and the cannons are now pointing the wrong way

The battle is going on right now
You intended it to burn the entire forest down, and you said so repeatedly. You were disappointed that it did not have that effect

She was only desecrating part of it. Merely making a mess.

No, I was bummed that Troll didn't show up.

And it doesn't take long for a response either. Almost immediately, a series of blood-curdling shrieks can be heard emanating from the hole, and a sizeable group of creatures starts to issue from the hole. Some are weird reddish heads that have creepy bat wings and tentacles hanging from them, while others are shadowy forms that don't appear to have any discernable features other than being vaguely humanoid in shape. Both are airborn.

Okay first off, these are undead. They don't fear anything except holy shit. Nice try.
The Generals score several hits, but the distance slows many of the shots down enough that they are avoided.
What kind of munition is the Trebuchet firing? Is it stone or is it pitch (or something else?)
>>45132
Targeting a head or a shade?

The Generals have the far shot feat for range increments of 165 feet, they are firing from up high for a +1, master work bow makes +1 and weapon focus adds plus 1. I would assume the trebuchet would fire a number of stones like grape shot
Also rolling for Fae's initiative

Both FAE and Tracy have +6 modifiers. I didn't add that to Fae's roll, so Fae is above Tracy. Also, roll for Generals

Yes, 1 round away (especially the way Tracy flies).
The heads start shrieking and spread out toward the advance forces, which seems to be Trump, Tracy, and Fae.

Thez throws her folding saw, which in flight looks like a bright gold/black tron disk at one of the heads, probably severing it in two unless a 1.

Tracy extends her chain to increase her threat range, readying an attack.
Thez fumbles her folding saw, and immediately starts cursing cuz there's a dimensional lock and she can't teleport to retrieve it.
The shadowy forms start to move as well, spreading out away from the advancing party, and directing themselves toward the archers and siege operators, muttering jibberish and weird sounds as they do so.

The archers and trebuchet have this move, followed by Fae, then Tracy, then Torcuil.

The base of the question is: Are they operating on pre-set orders, or are they acting as you direct them? Because there's a big difference to how they might respond then.

When a Player character has a cohort or followers or NPCs who are allies under their command, these NPCs may be controlled either by the GM, or by the Player who "owns" them. It's the GM's choice in the particular campaign. This GM in this campaign has generally given control to the Player, but really, someone has to represent these characters
>>45174
>Trebuchet misses
Aww. Can spartans or ghestapo enter and fire other cannons?

Tracy charges forward waiting to get close enough to attack.
If Trump succeeds a Ride check, can he direct her to attack with her natural weapons during his turn?

It's not a question of who controls them., I was just wondering if they had preset orders or they were waiting for orders.

The DC to control an untrained mount with your knees is 5 (move action). You don't need to roll to control warponies or warhorses though.
Unconscious control is 50 (free action).

It's difficult to say because Cauchemar's aren't supposed to use animated chains with their mouths, but the strength bonus on damage from a Cauchemar is +10 on each attack

Its a combination of Str bonus, and any bonus for the weapon (which the chain has a +5). +10 works, I wanted to know how many hits it would take to kill one of these fuckers. With two strikes (since the 3rd missed) that fells one of them.
For scope, there are about 8 tails spreading out (with more coming) and theres about 8 heads doing likewise, but focusing on Trump, Fae, and Tracy.

She has 35 Str atm, and her chain is a +4 weapon.

Can she cleave that?
Also, can Intimidate be used to taunt enemies towards you, or is that Bluff?
