[1d20 = 2]
Trump is on a roll. Every roll that is over 10 equals another kill and another strike
>>5425Can I attack on auto too?
>>5427Ahh, too bad. After felling (what is it, 5?) ants, Trump comes to rest.
>>5429Normally no, that's a feat based on Vandereim (imagine a giant chisel, that when swing just kinda goes through things, thats what Vandereim is)
[1d20 = 12]>>5428OH FUCK YOU
Why do you care about the tuber?
>>5428That's a level 5 spell, you're level 2.
>>5432he seem like good person.
The area IS more clear now, and Thez is almost speaking in detectable syllables.
"UUuu mfummm plllllusks!"
>>5428The potato has retreated into the ants, but you can still cast cryostasis if you like (or decide another move)
>>5425>>5421>>5420>>5422Not having yet liberated enough ants from their corporeal bondage, Trump takes another swing of his mighty Vanderiem the latter plays "Scotland the Brave"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSH0eRKq1lE >>5436How do levels work in this game? I thought we were all level 2?
[1d20 = 5]
Continues to slash next biggest ant
>>5438Damn acidental post
Can I finally get my shit agknowledged for once?
Roll for magic missile
>>5439Man, And I almost learned to play thaton bagpipes
at least I can play on my ukulele [1d20 = 18]
takes another slash
[1d20 = 18]>>5436i cast mass blindness on the ants.
[1d20 = 3]>>5444And I fucked up my die roll
[1d20 = 7]>>5447kek
*combine slashes with fire, to burn ants after wounding them (using both hooves and maw)*
[1d20 = 13]
Can I set any of these ants on fire?
>shouts to others
"So, what's the plan? Are we gonna just stand here and keep this charade going until we drop, or do we leave with Thez and Bubbles??
[1d20 = 2]
GM?!
*continues assault*
[1d20 = 9]>>5450"What happened to Thez and who is bubbles?"
Slashes!
>>5453"Thez currently looks like some kind pile of slowly-regenerating hamburger: spell backfired or something. Bubbles is the weirdo who led us in: looks like the ants were controlling him!"
*moves towards Thez to start dragging her*
K.
>>5441Everyone is currently lvl 12
>>5444Another ant falls dead (there's still like 12 tho)
>>5446Success! The ants are blinded!
Okay from this point, the room is cleared again (due to ant blindness and murder).
Sorry 4 delay.
Room is TECHNICALLY non-hostile, but don't bet on it.
>>5455"Knock that retard (Bubbles) out before he hurts himself!
Retreat?!"
Thez is starting to almost pick herself upright "Brr curfuk whet oo whesh furrr" she says, slowly bringing herself afoot.
[1d20 = 19]>>5454"Thez can take it, and I think we knew bubbles was of the ants to begin with."
>>5455"I would have prefered not to fight, but it looks like our only real option now is to kill every single ant. I don't know if that can be practically done here. I would say kill the queen, but we simple have no idea where the queen is. In the mean time, so long as we can hold them off, we may as well proceed towards the Treasury"
Slashes
>>5460"Whatever you say, Flashy!"
>Triple wields>Prepares for battle [1d20 = 17]>>5467>fmlslash, combined with fire, for residual damages
[1d20 = 16]>>5469Another!
"Everyone, proceed downward along this path, it goes to the treasury"
[1d20 = 4]>>5470Use fire to open path towards treasury
can I get any intimidation boosts from my Bandit quirks?
>>5478*Covers*
Wards off ants with fire-enhanced intimidation
The room remains clear, in spite of a regular input of ants. Trump, with those rolls does an excellent job of keeping the room 'stable', and Vandereim is laughing maniacally and streaming curses.
"Ahhhh! Ye silly twig-bugs haven't felt the likes of ME now HAVE ye!?"
Torcuil unleashes a blast of flame that covers the entrance, as Thez slowly regains her feet.
"Good show. Unfortunately, there's probably almost no end to them."
[1d20 = 8]>>5482"We don't need to kill all of the ants, we just need to make it to the Pyramid's Treasury."
Trump pulls out his map of the pyramid. Roll to lead the team on the proper direction
Tracy slices through ant after ant. The drones stop coming from the rear, but there are still soldiers coming from the rear.
Thez "Omms" and seems to regain some fortitude (now that she can actually do anything) while Trump stands as vanguard at the door.
[1d20 = 15]>>5482"/bug/s never know when to give up! They're almost all tenacious die-hards; and the ones that aren't are massive fruitcakes."
*Stabs ant in the thorax vagina*
[1d20 = 5]
infernuis stabs ants with his zweihander and makes ant kebab.
[1d20 = 10]
"Alright, proceed onwards!"
Trump goes to a passage way and enters, slashing at ants
>>5483Trump correctly determines the route to the treasury and begins to lead the way. Thez falls in along-side to (still weakly, but serviceably) assist and support (they're giving each-other flanking, allowing the one not being attacked to take an attack of opportunity against the one attacking,... a most effective strategy) to slowly make their way inward.
[1d20 = 2]
Trump slashes at ants while continuing to walk forward at steady pace
How is Thez attacking?
Infernius, with a resounding cry of "For Rockwell!" begins his assault, beginning with that 20 a few minutes ago, decimating further ants and helping claim another doorway (there's no doors here, but for simplicity's sake).
The party stands at the entrance to a large chamber, indistinguishable lights glittering in the distance.
>>5489How?
How indeed, didn't someone take her tail? I had forgotten about that. Technically this whole thing should have gone far more sour than it did. I'll think on how to rectify that, but for the moment there are more pressing matters. Luckily, taking her tail does not prevent her from being effective,... rather it,... well you'll see.
[1d20 = 19]>>5490Trump soldiers forth, casting OFFENSE upon the entire group
[1d20 = 4]
infernuis heal party when we get wounded. can i help thez with reform faster with healing?
[1d20 = 1]
push forward, blasting flames to stun ants before slashing
[1d20 = 12]
Trumpaladin slashes!
Tracy lights her mane on fire
[1d20 = 13]>>5497I think that means another slash
[1d20 = 1]
infernuis jump and cut one in half.
Douse self with slime from severed head.
*push through the ants with pony-rogue maneuverability and see what's on the other side of the hallway*
>>5492>everyone goes (without the hair) super-saiyanBefore the party stands the Queen in an expansive chamber lined with,... the same crystalline structure as the pyramid. In fact, it almost looks like a lower section of the Pyramid (cuz it is).
[1d20 = 5]>>5508ANNND I can't do that..
*slash ant in front of me*
>>5509queen their has been misunderstanding.
>>5509Trump levels Vanderium at the Queen
"Alright everyone, looks like we found ourselves the Queen. Tracy and inferius, hold off these drones, while I attack!"
>>5511"Diplomacy has been attempted and failed. The only misunderstanding was the belief we could negotiate with these insects."
>>5511"Impudent fool, what dare have you to even SPEAK to me!" She commands. And with it, a wave of weakness whooshes upon the party, negating the Offense.
[1d20 = 12]>>5514"DIE INFERNAL BEAST!"
Trump charges at her with Vanderiem to deliver a slashing blow
>>5512About 18' tall, and about 30' long.
Also, she's squatted in the middle of a ridiculous pile of opulence. Piles of gold and gems litter the room, atop one pile of which is a very large and heavily bound book. Atop another pile is a glittering scroll, which Thez is immediately transfixed by.
"It... it is! I had... I thought,...." she begins to stammer.
[1d20 = 9]
"TRACY, GET THE BOOK AND THE SCROLL, AND WE CAN RUN THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
Slashes at the queen again
>>5515Noted, but there's a distance you must close first unfortunately she casts a spell, and an almost impreceivable sphere appears around her.
>>5519Trump ignores the queen then, and goes straight towards the book
[3d8 = 18]>>5517She fires a lightning bolt at you, just cuz why would she want a soccer ball?
>>5520The book is well within her protective magic sphere
[1d20 = 16]>>5521>it has magic*block shot with soccer ball, causing it to explode*
*dive for the scroll (do I have a maneuverability/theft boost for my class)*
Thez is now going apeshit. Not at the queen or any perceived threat, but at the sphere around the scroll. She clearly has little else on her mind.
[1d20 = 2]>>5522Beat the sphere then, with mighty Vanderiem!
