RP Thread. Its D&D mixed with shitposting. Classic (flexible) rules, and more autism than you could shake a whole group of autists at, even if you did so autistically. New players area always welcome, whether continuing, one-time, or 'just shitposting'.
Welcome back to the ahem 'Bathhouse', a progressive thread that I'm sure plenty of anons wish would just fucking die already. What, its true,....
This particular beginning is heavily seasoned with enthusiasm and delight. Hot on the heels of killing a bunch of We Wuz, the party almost shattered for several reasons, both in-game and out. In spite of it all, the characters continue on their quest to do,... well,... stuff.
Trumpaladin has been gifted a quest from Lord John Elway. Infernius has been gifted a quest from the Fuhrer, Tracy wants to stab more shit, Torcuil is beginning to get clever with his use of Snek not like that you perv and Thez is thanking her lucky stars that she even exists anymore.

Tracy stopped there because she had to turn the corner, then Fae and Infernius did the same.

Low many turns would it take for Tracy to back-track and explore that room, while Infernius and Fae charge?

Let's get this straight WHO IS CHASING THE MAGE?
I was going to have Tracy chase him, but I don't want her to get nearly-trampled again.
>>48940
>we were outrun
Horseshit. He could move at 80 ft tops, with spells 'n shit.
We're just disorganized.

That magnitude of shadow magick was either an illusionist wizard, or an uber-powerful Bard. I'm guessing the earlier option.

Tracy tries the door, and finds it is quite heavy. She is able to open it, but with significant effort, and not quick enough for surprise. What appears is a room full of red-headed ghosts, holding ghostly mugs. Old and destroyed furniture lines the room. The ghostly forms turn toward the now open door, and music bursts forth from the room. Several gasps can be heard from within the room.

Nope. Except for a couple little ones in the outskirts, who are just scared, a wave of Tracy's rebuke wafts ineffectively over the gingers.
And so then, an ear-piercing REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE echoed forth from the room, in strangely perfect pitch and unison.

I'll take the intervening period to comment; it has occurred to me that there is room for improvement in administering a dungeon crawl. In spite if preparation, the illustration and playing-out of the scene is a bit cumbersome compared to a more open-world environment. Additionally I'm looking at modifying the rules, to enable for more rapid transition from sneaky or speedy ex[ploration to fighting and back. I like the initiated movement/combat system, where there is an order even in null-attack phases, but it needs work. Thoughts?
Fae and Infernius are still chasing the mage, right?
Can Tracy and Trump go after them too?
Tracy assumes her monstrous shape between Brad's legs, so he doesn't have to use up an action to ride; and then she promptly goes off towards the Mage's direction at full speed.
Hey, the Gestapo/Generals are positioned outside of the entrance, right?

He can't teleport out, and the hole is the onlu apparent exit for now. With Tracy's Search ability, we have an okay chance at getting him, if we catch up to him in these next couple turns.

Is that what "whoof" means? Ever action post with Thez has "whoof" in it but I've never identified if it means she's teleporting, dimension dooring, just moving really fast, using haste, or if it's just bullshitted haxx or what

<whoooof> is both the sound and the visual blurring/distortion effect as Thez uses her (mostly) Horizon Walker abilities to be wherever. Its almost like the "whoosh" sound of a large fan-blade.
>>49003
She hasn't tried doing it out of the building, but meta it would work. The dimensional lock is no longer in effect, spoiler alert.

You'd probably need a Spellcraft DC of at least 40, and a week or two to develop the spell, but It'd probably be Conjuration-type seed to drain energy from a place of power, and transmutation-type and convert it to something else useful.
After epic level, you can make your own spells that can do almost anything.

I didn't read very much about epic spellcasting because it makes me jelly, but it could be higher.
Actually, the Energy seed is Evocation, combined with Transform that'd be a Spellcraft DC of 40, but that's the full extent of what I know about Epic Spellcasting.

I kind of like your previous idea. Mount horse/in a move action then spur horse with a standard action (Trumpaladin) and Change shape with move action then fly down hall at 110 using the high flying maneuverability of the cauchemar to turn corners with only a small movement penalty

If she's between his legs, he's technically already mounted, so all she has to do id walk forward a bit while transforming and you can skip the action altogether.

If GM will pass that, then sure. Move forward in a move action and turn down the hall, then turn right (left from our perspective) down the only hallway he could have gone down, and go down that way until we either find him, have explored all the halls, or something attacks. If he never went down that hall then Thez and Tocuil have the other possibility covered. If he is spotted, then Trumpaladin can use the rope to capture him as Trachemar prepares a grapple or intimidate or something a bit sturdier to keep him
