RP/Shitposting thread - D&D 3.5 base rules, subject to interpretation, review, and elaboration. Open for all to spectate, bantz, shitpost, or full-on play.

We begin this thread in anticipation of the weekend, where most of the party is gradually infiltrating the grand city of Cardishore. With disguises varying from an Emu, Barney the dinosaur, and a mexican clown,... as well as Fae who is entirely without costume, Trump, Tracy, and Infernius try to get a handle on whatever the hell is going on in Cardishore now or in general.
Meanwhile, Torcuil is working to get that damn cannon fixed on the Stray Cat. Meanwhile Stix returns (to the tower?) with not many answers, an over-sized acorn, and definitely no other surprises.

Meanwhile Thez,... poor forgotten and alone Thez who is babysitting the port so that none of the party's enemies see their departure and think "Wah ha ha ha! With them gone I will destroy their precious city!" I mean she gets it,... but still.

I could answer essentially every one of your points, but would it be moot?

I can think of a couple reasons Trump could still be alive if you want to get technical, and considering the spellcaster level of the party, its really not that difficult to go about getting the stuff back (Infernius' will be more difficult) but idk

To be quite honest, aside from Torcuil turning into a pile of sand, this is the first time that character actions have resulted in any serious consequences in spite of numerous opportunities for things to have gone differently. For example, when Torcuil used the Magneto rod on Death, the scythe should have gotten a will save using Death's stats, but it was funnier to just let it play out. The whole point of the game is to have fun and to be creative, such that it is enjoyable for yourself and for others. If its not, then I don't know what to say.

And I did literally post that the choices that Infernius and Trump were making would likely result in them waking up in the entertron without all their stuff. Blatantly.

>if Tracy's faggot had stayed with the group rather than wondering off
I'll say right now that I fucked up big time...
What I meant to do was proceed ahead of the group in stealth to figure out what was going on. Once I got there, I had intended to steal some IDs and distribute them to the party, but I dropped the ball on communication and just watched Brad and Infernius step in before I did that...
>it feels like an arms race
It's never felt that way to me. I just want things, not just to get an advantage over other: it's not a PvP game.
>With all equipment gained over the past six months gone, it's definitely not worth proceeding.
Oh don't be that way. Your stuff isn't gone for good, just in a hard place to reach.
There's always more to be gained too. It's not about what you have, it's about what you can get (says the thief).

I get it if you wanna take a break though.. I'd be pissed if I were in your position...

The mummy room wasn't planned, and tbh neither was the self-destructing octahedron. It was a trap, but it was going to be vs spell-casters rather than just <smite> ur dead. I change lots of things on the fly due to sudden inspiration.

By unplanned, I mean the dust was originally just to conceal the coffins, but when I thought about it from a combustable dust standpoint, I realized it would be a veritable powder keg. The End room of the temple was going to introduce 7 dominant factions that control the rest of the world, outside the empire - which is the largest geographical nation but still a minority by planetary surface. There would be hints and foreshadowing and all sorts of teasers, but suddenly I felt like removing it and transitioning the story in a different manner.

How big was the stage/plaza? Maybe they were outside of the AoE and only the bots got targeted.

I kind of figured everyone was at this point. The bots would have maintained a 75' perimeter around both. Are they near each other or not?

If the bots are in a circle that is almost as wide in radius as the radius of the spell, then clearly they would need to be at least 150 feet from each other or else the circles would over lap and bots would be on top of each other

I was envisioning a park sort of like the National Mall in Washington DC. Not the entire thing, but a square or rectangle of it, as big as the square which contains the Washington Monument at the largest or as small as the rectangles at the center of the Museum district. That's a square with a diameter perhaps as large as one half mile, and at least 1000 feet across. The bots were stated as occupying the perimeter, presumably almost evenly spaced apart from each other. The idea was, as soon as Infernius exposed himself, to run to the perimeter and destroy the bots one by one using Fae's speed, and to do so before they could maneuver into a group

Eclipse road is 1,800 feet in diameter, or 900 feet from the center to the perimeter. Now how the hell fast are these bots to close the distance to encircle and attack in the same round?

I want to know why distance is taken into account when Infernius wants to melee the enemy or when Tracy wants to be a bitch, but not when casting spells that have "a very localized effect" in the spell description, or when Trumpaladin tries to execute a plan (the only one available at the time) the crux of which is taking advantage of the distance between the bots's starting position

Because the robots don't run right up to a target, they have a ranged weapon, though incurring a saving throw rather than an attach roll. In this case I emphasized the range because he wouldn't have been able to full round attack, he's have to do a move action from which he could do a single attack to end the round. The bots have a base movement speed of 55

"an intense but highly localized tremor rips the ground"
80 ft radius centered on spell caster

That means the spell would have barely affected the bots that were holding a circle 75 away from him. It absolutely would not have affected Trumpaladin, Fae, the bots near Trumpaladin, or Tracy.

>>59696
A ranged weapon of 75 feet. Not 750 feet. The shazbots are "around the perimeter" according to >>58964. If the park is approximately the size of the eclipse circle then it is ~900 radius with Infernius near the center. This means that the furthest ones would have taken 4 rounds to be within 75 feet of Infernius assuming they go 4 times 55 feet a round, and a varying number of rounds to reach Trumpaladin, since he started near the perimeter and only exposed himself to attack a bot that was near the permiter, leaving him a round away from probably two and a little further away for others.

80 ft circular spread is a really wide AoE for a spell; I can't even think of a non-epic spell with a wider radius. It's 'very localized' for an earthquake.
>when Tracy wants to be a bitch
Oh come on. There was nothing to be gained from being close to the center of action there as a rogue: she couldn't damage the enemy and didn't have the hit points to survive even one blast.
The reason I even got those shoes was so that she could escape combat scenarios and sneak back in at times of opportunity.

Believe it or not, this wasn't set up against you; it's just fucking unfortunate.
We can get your stuff back over time; it's not lost. Can't we all just move forward?

Is one misfired spell really all it's going to take to destroy this party?

He's not in that radius either way. It would be physically impossible for him to be in that radius, because there's a fucking ring of steel at 75 feet
