This thread begins with Infernius pushing random buttons on an already random object of ridiculous power.
Welcome to the next page of the thread series that everyone knows about but no one mentions cuz autism.
Its a role-playing thread, welcoming involved/random shitposting in addition to participation.
There's plenty of material if you wanna get a glimpse, otherwise I'll get back to it.
The first effect that is discharged by the rod is a ridiculously compressed stream of air, blowing back everyone around Infernius.
The second effect is that Infernius himself becomes invisible.
The third effect is someone adjacent to infernius is hit by Flesh to Stone.
The fourth effect is that Enlarge Size is cast on the statue-character..
The fifth effect is the rod summons a mouse.
Players should roll a d100

Alright. Just that one facepalm by Thez resulted in the following effects which Infernius is now trying to remove:
Thez was turned into a statue, was covered with faerie fire, will be growing leaves for the next 24 hours, was then made ethereal, could then be detected thinking "WTF, SRSLY", and was then Enlarged.
Also, 2 hits of stinking cloud, Internius was made invisible again, a lightning bolt went off, a fireball, a darkness spell a little ways off. Oh and 3 hits of everyone is blind.
You can see how being blind might have modified the outcome a bit. You can see why I wanted players to wait before spastically running off and declaring action series after action series after action series and continuing on regardless of other players or me having the methodical chance to respond or act.
>>46895Trump and Fae didn't renter the room until an elephant was summoned by Tracy, and then hopefully stayed the hell away from the line of fire. The etherealness does not affect the wielder. It exclusively affects
non-living objects.
I like the timeline where Trumpaladin and Fae kill four African elephants better
>>46896Thez was made a statue. The only reason her thoughts were detected is because it happened at the same time.
>elephantsAlright, but that also means that Thez was still an ethereal statue and unable to stop Tracy
>>46897Touché
Stop Tracy from... Doing what?
>>46898There was a point where Thez stepped on Tracy, to pin her down; that never happened.
>>46899I think while that was happening while I was doing the gladiatorial combat. Tracy probably would have gotten a few more button mashes in before that finished, but when it would have, Fae would have been commanded to play Tom and Jerry with Tracy. Tracy's rampage would have ended instantly with a pounce and grapple, followed by an endless series of opposing grapple and escape artist checks until Tracy eventually both patrolled Fae on a grapple check and a spot check
>>46901Tracy would've only stopped after she'd pushed every button, and then stopped as soon as she came to her senses no longer having random buttons to experiment with.
The elephants we're a distraction, although Fae still would've had to beat Tracy's fine-sized Hide check.
That Stinking Cloud probably would've negated scent-searching.
>>46903>beat her fine sized hide checkWhen she escapes into the grass after winning a grapple check.
Not while she's bouncing up and down on a rod shooting out magic and shit. She'd be easy prey then
\r
>>46905Wouldn't have stopped her from pressing all of the buttons, desu, but may have stopped her from being able to memorize buttons after that point.
>>46905Does blindness reduce the efficacy of escape artist checks?
>>46906Looking back at the record, Tracy would have had an additional two or possibly three rounds before Fae would have been able to pounce
>>46908>Does blindness reduce the efficacy of escape artist checks?According to da rules, just a -4 penalty, if any at all.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:BlindedIt normally would've denied her her Dex bonus to AC, but Tracy also has Improved Uncanny Dodge, so she retains her Dex bonus even while flat footed and unable to see or hear her attacker.
She's a slippery little pony.
When the rod say that butterflies blind everyone, does that mean plp couldn't see through the butterflies, or the butterflies had some kind of magic/effect that blinded plp?
>mfw I just realized I should've been using Use Magick Device (ranks maxed-out) checks when activating the rod blindly
>>46913Perfect
>>46910Its concealment like the dust cloud.
>>46914>PerfectNoted for the future.
I get all kinds of colors when I look up "jasper", but I knew it was a darkish blue-green.
>>46917... Infernius has a caster lvl of 17, right?
>>46917For kicks I rolled a live dice; it was a 2. In either case its a fail.
>>46909>That scary AF spoiled image that still startles me when I open itTom and Jerry would have been a fun game to play. Fae could first pounce with a touch attack. Tiny Tracy would have had a very high Touch AC because of dexterity and the small size, but Fae should still have succeeded with a 2 or higher. Then, Fae's +25 grapple against Tracy's +23 escape artist. If Fae won that check, Tracy would be held in Fae's mouth the next round. Fae could attempt a swallow that round, which is really just a grapple check. If Tracy won she'd be free but would be next to Fae and would have used her standard action to get free, meaning she couldn't hide and Fae could try to catch her again. If Fae won the swallow, then Tracy would be even more in a hold, and winning a grapple check after that would just return her to the mouth. Tracy should eventually win when she escapes into the Elephant grass and hides, since she'd probably win an opposed spot check thanks to insane modifiers. It would have been fun to play Tom and Jerry with the super slippery pony
Dragonnes don't have the "swallow whole"
special or "improved grapple," but I really don't see why the mechanics can't be applied to a monster who is three size classes larger than her opponent and using the standard grapple mechanicsI just realized while typing this that the game was far more in the cat's favor than the mouse, because escape artist consumes a standard action, meaning Tracy could run after succeeding but would just be pounced again and begin the process again; she wouldn't have time to hide and therefore win the game. Eh.\r
>>46925>>46924You can't just roll again
>>46923Oh well, next time. There's way too much autism to rewrite it now
>>46923Hide doesn't necessarily take so much time. You can do it as part of another action.
>>46926Why though.
Ok i bring statue thez back to the tower.
[1d20+20 = 33]
Rolling Use Magick Device to activate the rod blindly and press the right button for the Stone to Flesh affect on Thez.
It gets an additional +2 because Tracy's used the rod before.
>>46929The DC should be 25.
Was Tracy able to un-stone Thez?
>>46930>>46928Where
is Thez? She vanished shortly after being made a statue, and I don't mean invisible.
>>46932She counts as a non-living object?
Well fug...
I had an action earlier where Tracy became ethereal on her own volition, but that was deleted. >>46926>tfw there's so much autism you've reached saturation and are unable to add more>>46927I see. So Tracy could have won. Still would have been fun
>>46932We'll get 'em next time
>>46936Is there a bunsen burner I can place under this thread?
>>46932"Tracy this all your fault!"
"Gibe back rod, me go to find thez."
>>46937You mean other than the wonder rod?
>>46938>tfw to the party's best knowledge, Thez may have just teleported away.... Well, the first step would be for the party to figure out wtf just happened before and since Thez disappeared.
Someone open the the dialogue.
>>46938"It's not
ALL my fault. Thez was the first one to touch it."
Fuck!
Even if Tracy had a motivation to become Ethereal atm and immediately see Thez, wouldn't she still be invisible?
>>46939Oh that'd do it. It would take good luck to recreate the set though
>>46941"Sadly that's true. You go playing around with wonderous powers bad things can happen. Anyways, we can try again when the wizard gets here or tomorrow"
Where is the party right now anyway?
>>46942The party has gone much longer periods without Thez. Much longer. It can wait a day
>>46944Last I knew, on the deck of the airship.
>>46944Still in the dungeon i guess.
>>46945Reeeeeeee
>>46947No, I lost track at the airship, which is still possible despite Tracy's shenanigens.
>>46948Where was staue thez at? Thats where infernuis is.
