>>6375>"Good of you to ask! I don't need much really, I'm more concerned with my son Ben growing up in a stable environment where he has a bright future to look forward to. You lot keep up with what you're doing and we're square in my book.We will you have Infernuis word, This very serious in Minotuar society. So have you heard the news of Rockwell terry?
>>6379"Not much tbh, I heard some of the townsfolk mention his name and I hear that the new church is almost entirely dedicated to him and his message, but I spend most of my time banging on hot metal so I haven't gotten around to the details. Are you familiar with it?"
>Meanwhile, with omenous music
"She isn't alone this time. I don't know the lengths, but one of them is a formidable Paladin <sneers>. Another is a Minotaur. I didn't get a good look at their magic user, but they have one, and one of them is an abomination of the same race as Lady Glimmer. They're not to be underestimated."
"Is that how you lost your arm then, oh most Low?" chuckles can be heard in the background.
"This is no laughing matter. If our designs are to come to fruition, a collaborative effort WILL be necessary."
"How shameful, a Balor asking for assistence. This favor will cost you DEARLY," speaks a shrill voice.
"It will cost YOU dearly to NOT act. Who here can claim a limb of MINE!"
And with that, the congregation falls silent.
>>6380I happen to be a cleric.
>>6382"A cleric you say? Perhaps you can help me then, what does Rockwell mean for someone in my position. How does a simple man with a family benefit from the teachings of Rockwell?"
>>6383Rockwell happens to hold common folk in very high regards, he loves you and your kids and wants you and yours to be free of (((Their))) grasp.
>>6384"Them. You must mean the ones with the big noses (townspeeps never saw them in rat form). What an insufferable bunch. Any enemy of theirs is a friend of mine."
>>6385Then Rockwell is with you my friend. Id suggest going to the shrine when you have some time.
*hands him a copy of mein kampf*
Infernuis have to go now, good to meet you terry, Rockwell please bless this mans house and family.
[1d20 = 11]
Also meanwhile:
"Hey Lenos, any chance you could lower the tower a bit? I know the current elevation is useful against intruders, but we seem to be in a good spot with Port Barry, and their defenses more than compensate for any disadvantage of lowering the building," Thez says brightly.
"Wut now?" he sighs, and lights another cigarette. "I suppose, but don't start thinking I'm just going to go along with your schemes. You still owe me that fly," he says with a wink.
"Oh, you're right now that I think about it," she says, a little dejected. She reaches into her hair and pulls out the ebony fly and holds it out to him, her palm open.
"A deal is a deal," she says with an almost imperceptible twitch of her eye.
He jumps up from his chair, "A pleasure doing business with you," he says, grasping the fly.
As he does so, she clamps her hand around his.
"It would be a shame if there were any,... inconsistencies in our agreement. You understand of course," she says, growing slowly, eerily closer.
"Don't get-"
"I mean if I were to be operating outside of our agreement, you would have grounds to take offense and seek satisfaction."
She says, clamping down on his forearm with the hand that just had the fly.
>>6386"Come back anytime!" he calls after
>>6388>88I sense it terry you have been blessed.
[1d20 = 13]
Lenos' eyes narrow and he lowers his posture for leverage.
"I think you're overstepping your bounds here twat, and I'll thank you to let go of my arm," he says through gritted teeth.
"Oh am I? Overstepping my bounds am I?"
He lifts his other arm in defense as she launches a punch into his wee sternum.
>>6389Fires crossbow up to the crystal.
[1d20 = 13]
Thez' punch launches him from the dais back toward where the hallway of rooms is. He bounces a couple times before rolling to his feet.
"That's gonna cost you," he begins.
"Cost. Funny you mention that," she slowly walks down from the dais. "Surely you know what comes of breaking a bargain with a devil?" she says, her eyes gleaming.
"Breaking? I don't know what you're-"
"Oh certainly not. One of such exceeding scruples as yourself would never stoop to rigging a challenge," she says, ever so slowly walking his way.
"Oh. Well. I won't speak to whatever you're talking about, not knowing of course, but I think you've come far enough."
Surprisingly, she stops.
"Tell me, what DID you offer?"
To this he thinks for a moment, quickly realizing she's talking about Infernius, the 'riding' bet, and the fact that she apparently knows about it.
He raises his hands in a shrug. "If I did know about what you mean, I'm sure it would be between that person and the other person in the situation.
"DON'T LIE TO ME!" she yells, both teleporting next to him and attempting an axe kick.
>>6391Success, you now have a physical line from the Plaza of Port Barry, leading to the floating building.
What potions can my character use?
>>6381>Lady GlimmerThis sends chills down my spine....
[1d20 = 17]>>6393Climb check do i get modifiers?
>tfw my ISP just pulled some sort of reset and I lost connection while posting
Just... one... second.
>>6396Nope, but you're fine. If a player is not pressed for time, they can take skill checks without a die roll, to allow for careful consideration and progress (there are exceptions, but for the most part).
>>6392Thez's kick lands, stunning him momentarily
"Surely you know what comes to those who violate an agreement with a devil," she taunts, her tail caressing him almost like a cat's.
"You must know, I'm entitled to a pound of flesh," she begins, savoring the moment.
He regains coordination and stands upright. Since his cigarette was lost, he lights a new one.
"Come get some you twisted she-bitch. You don't know what you're in for," he says, pulling the metal cylinder from his belt.
Help me out with the poitions. I want to make use of Soros's blood.
>>6399>tfw Infernuises stupidity caused this
[9d20 = 104]
What is about to ensue is a fight that has been on hold for a very long time, through multiple resets. GM advises players to maintain a safe distance. I'll be narrating this fight as though each player were independent of the GM, so that players can see illustrated the potential precision that can be applied to fights.
L> cast Dimensional Lock
"Whoops, where are you going to turn now?"
T> cast Protection from Energy - Fire
"Who's running?"
T>close distance
L>Ignite Erebus, defensive stance (+5 ac, -5 atk)
T>Fighting stance, Devil's Wing, full attack.
[12d8 = 50]
Lenos's cylinder erupts with red energy (you've seen nu Star Wars yeh? It looks like that.) as Thez darts toward him.
In a shower of sparks and energy (Thez and Lenos have several fields operating permanently, in addition to those just cast), they begin to fight. Several blows are extended (from T) while Lenos blocks and evades, showing a curious dexterity (another SW reference, think Yoda v Palpatine).
Thez strikes at him repeatedly, but most of her attacks are glancing, ineffective, or outright miss. Only a few make contact.
... The Game still going?
>tfw don't know how potions work...
[3d20 = 29]>>6405Her hits knock him back a few paces.
L> Dispel Magic
T> equip item Falcon's Claw, range attack
>>6407Several invisible/imperceivable fields about Thez pop, or wink out of existence. As this happens, she pulls a weird sceptre-lookin thing from her pouch and snaps it open into the most ridiculously opulescent Kama (mini scythe) that's ever been seen (gold blade). She launches it at him, with such speed and spin that it looks in flight like a frisbee.
>>6406Potions are essentially magic spells that anyone can use, literally consistent with the spell counterparts.
>>6409What potions, that I can buy here, could help me mutate attain my desired Ghost Rider powers with this Balor Blood?
[1d20 = 3]>>6408L> cast Forcecage
T>Shadow image, Feint, All-defense
Lenos ducks the frisbee (barely) and enacts a binding spell. At the same time, several Thez' emerge from the 'one' and proceed toward Lenos from multiple angles.
>>6410Regeneration. Its pricey, (not rly, there's that pile of gold), but its worth it if you need to not die.
Lenos' spell succeeds (to my surprise) and Thez is now held in a gray-ish cube of energy. Pounding can be heard from within.
"Well that was easier than I expected," he says taking another drag.
T> cast Magical Fang (unseen)
Lenos taps at the cube. "You alright in there? You need some water?" he goads.
>>6413Do i hear this fight going down?
>>6415Yes. As you enter the building, you can hear commotion toward the back end of the building (near the rooms).
>>6416I head that way to see whats going on.
>>6412Alright, and what exactly can I gain from this combined potion/graft? I really only want to gain powers in reference to the movie (i.e. flaming whip)
[2d20 = 35]
T> cast haste, ready javelins for flurry of blows.
L> cast Increase Size
*walks into potions store*
>>6418>movieFug u, I haven't seen it yet ~_~
Potions can essentially buff any attribute, ability, skill, or w/e. Wat u want?
>>6421You havent seen ghost rider?
[2d20 = 17]
Lenos is now 4'6" in height (his lightsabre grows respectively as Thez stews in her juices (non-lewd).
T> Release seal
L> Ready Meteor Swarm
>>6421Neither have I, desu, or at least not entirely (I just know it has something to do with Nicholas Cage as a ghost with a Flaming skull for a head, riding a motercycle and using a flaming chain whip). I just want to be able to become on fire and use a flaming whip,
like the Balor does.
>>6422By "The movie" I immediately assumed MLP. I am open to correction.
The percussion on the cube around Thez doubles in intensity, and cracks of light start to appear.
>>6424That? Thats much easier, one second.
>>6421>>6424Fucking plebs.
>>6424Oh wow. I never made the ghost-rider connection. Its brilliant. Uh,... don't hesitate to drink Thez' blood (lawful evil), if that's your design.
>>6424>>6427If i had to give Johnny Blaze (Ghost Rider) an alignment it would be lawful evil.
The bombardment on the cube increases. From 1.5 strikes/ second, to 2.8 strikes/second, until its up to 5.1 strikes/second. As the bombardment increases, more and more cracks appear on the surface of the cube.
>>6428Oh, he's archetypally LE, and I'm disappointed that I didn't realize it sooner. Not only is it Nic Cage but its a consequential, "reap what you sow" type character. Oh it fits, and it fits NICE.
>>6429"Hey what going on over there!"
[4d20 = 27]
The grayish cube, striated with cracks all over, finally ruptures and explodes outward, sending shards of grayish magic all over the environment, which are on fire and dissipate as the proceedings occur.
Thez stands there (in midair), enveloped in flame and wrath and hate, claws extended.
Lenos looses his meteor swarm, a volley of 4
dia balls of white-hot light at her/
SORRY IM LATE GUYS
PC hates me today
Fuckin wifi wont work
Give me a min to catch up
>>6433Meme man, glad your here.
[33d20 = 361]
Okay three balls, which strike at her as she stands motionless. Her eyes are fully red, and are slits (like a cat's). as the balls collide in an erupting shower of flame and sparks.
L> cast Cat's Grace
T> ABSOLUTE MURDER (hastened, flurry of blows using javelins)
>>6425>>6427If I do this, will my character be permanently disfigured, or can I just "Go Ghost" (edgy reference for an edgy hoers), when I want to, like how Soros transformed?>>6420*clears throat*
>>6381>didn't get good lookHe feckin shanked me
>>6436I just remembered
>what ever happens to Tracy will be accepted as board canonKek, I made Tracy a proud member of the white race
>>6436Go Ghost, permanent wouldn't be as much fun.
Meanwhile.
Lenos, who was already Yoda-ing around the room shows increased agility and speed from his recent spell. Unfortunately, Thez isn't using conventional weapons. She unleashes a volley of Javelins of Lightning (a magical weapon that upon being thrown converts into a literal bolt of lightning, but since javelins are monk weapons AND flurry of blows requires monk weapons, and she's a monk) 31/32 hit him, leaving him a smouldering pile of brownie, his hands distorted awkwardly.
the fight is not overThez loses her rage-face and begins to breathe heavily, clearly depleted from the previous.
>>6437Knee-jerk and non-committed. He still thought he was going to waltz in and have his way at the time. Don't worry, you'll have an opportunity to address any disdain.
Though heavily charred, one of Lenos' hands drifts toward an amulet on his neck. Considering the oddity of his appearance, the amulet was only icing on the cake, but it appears with a Lion's head sculpture on it. His hand comes to rest on it, and with his thumb, he pushes a button.
>>6439Good, I'm gonna stab him
>>6436Invision second pic with hair the color of tracy's old coat and same hairstyle. BOOM transformed tracy
>>6436Can I say I just bought my desired alchemy supplies, and take them home to the crystal?
>>6441That pony is actually based off of Ember: the OC of that faggot who shot up that store a few months back.
>>6436Tracy that edge is sharp enough to slice your hooves with.
>>6436Tracy that edge is sharp enough to slice your hooves with.
>>6444>my trips REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>6446What were you going to do with them?
>>6440Waves of DBZ-esque energy flows from Lenos, as his form begins to contort. He was already 4'+ feet tall, butt this is different. For starters, his skin almost uniformly begins to darken, with shards of black growing outward. His neck elongates, his tail (he's growing a tail) also extends, and a pair of wings fling off the robes he was previously wearing.
>>6441Uh, I think you need to catch up a bit more. The two combatants right now are Lenos and Thez, and you probably don't want to get involved. You can if you REALLY want, but don't.
>>6442Yes, and for the moment don't worry about specifying those supplies, they're just "Undisclosed Alchemy stuffs"
>>6446>missed trips>got pali>REEEE
>>6448Has the circus-fire in the pyramid stopped yet?
>>6447Steal the equine with "alicorn" forming a horn on its head
>>64481- I meant Soros faggot
2- *shadilay plays in distance*
As Lenos' metamorphosis continues/concludes, he completes it in the form of an oversized (maybe a head or so taller than your average Moose) black dragon, striped with golden tiger-esque stripes.
"Fug" says Thez.
>>6450>ShadilayBoth combatants receive a negative modifier to all die rolls.
>>6444Trips confirm not edgy enough, go edgier
>>6451What did this drama start over again?
>>6454Cuz Lenos tried to cheat Thez (a devil who is/are very particular about agreements, wagers/bets, and contracts).
>>6456Can I go in without dealing with their bullshit?
>>6457The building, yes. They're toward the back, near the 'rooms' hallway.
Lenos-dragon (yes) screams.
https://youtu.be/4a_cz-_yZS0
>>6456Are they fighting by the forge?
>>6458>the rooms>where I would've goneI'm in the building, btw. I just want to drop off my sjit, and go for a healthy equine trot (explore the surrounding wooded area). I would've avoided them, if it meant being in close proximity to their drama though.
>tfw party gets new hoers, so I can't have the stables all to myself.
>>6459No, that way is clear.
L> Dragon-burp
Thez> charge jyuken
Lenos: To DUST with you!
Thez: In ur ass newt-boy!
>>6460You don't want to watch? Now I'm sad.
U might check the stables, there has been a reorganization that hasn't been witnessed yet.
>>6458Eh, I decide to try my hand at forging
I travel to the treasury, what am I greated with?
>>6463>Welcomes the chance to laugh in ponimaru's face, but wants to avoid meeting the vanilla cunt at all costs.........
[2d20 = 16]
Lenos-dragon unleashes a gout of flaming/dissolving murder at Thez, clearly intenton smiting her with a deluge of napalm.
>>6465Would you like me to take care of the unicorn?
[1d20 = 7]>>6465*walks by with 60 ft radius in stealth, taking a peek and listening*
roll for detection
>>6467Are you even there?
[1d20 = 16]>>6468Detection?
>>6464The forge(s) are empty. Before you are an array of barrel-type forges which (though not holding any pieces atm) are belching flames conically. About the treasyury are piles of wealth of every shape, size, variety, and composition (metals, gems, etc.)
>>6465You're in luck, cuz all you find is the ninja-hoers; Vcunt is not present.
>>6468Torcuil was there before you arrived, though he never made his way to the stables and so you're the first to observe the situation.
>>6471I'm going to assume Garnets and Iron are some of those materials
Can a craft a rod to move metal objects?
Garnet because it is the only magnetic gemstone
[1d20 = 18]
Thez is enveloped in napalm, well above and beyond Lenos' previous 'burps'. As the fluid strikes, a shrill hissing sound can be heard.
As the gout of napalm dissipates, Thez is still standing there. Most burned, haggared, and having seen better days (with wisps of smoke trailing off of her).
"My turn now bitch-fist," She says.
[1d20 = 7]>>6469*pokes head inside (in stealth)* (ikd that he's been resurrected again, right?)
>>6475didn't mean to roll...
[40d8 = 202]>>6473Not just, but yes (on both counts).
>>6474Now a dimensional lock is not an all-encompassing spell. For example, it is subject to spell resistence, such as the type which Thez' unholy aura employs. That, coupled with that moments-ago die roll grants her a teleporting hit.
>>6477>not just, but yesWat?
So, do I role oo craft this thing or?
>>6469If you can find her...
Much as I want this fight to continue, that last blow (mathematically and logistically) is successful in knocking Lenos the fuck out.
The building's situation resolves, and all the fighting comes to an abrupt halt. No one gets any experience, but Thez (almost the worst for wear she's EVER been) stumbles away from the fight victorious(?).
"I'm gonna go and-" and she collapses on the stairs, clearly headed for the mess hall but not making it at all. Lenos also is passed the fuck out, some distance away near the "room" hallway.
Okay, I'm done with all that.
>>6477Garnets, iron, the forges are quite sophisticated
>>6475As you peek in Ponimaru eyes you warily. He has bracers on his hooves/forelegs, with several blades (both full length and smaller) strapped about himself.
Trollestia is not apparent, and her location is unknown at the moment.
>>6483"Pffft!"
>*blows subtle raspberry in an expression that doesn't translate from hoers speech*
>>6481I carry thez to the mess hall and cast cure critical wounds.
>>6485Also, where'd he get new kunai from? I took all his shit after killing him. Could I practically just farm this faggot for items, if I had the capability to kill him again (just a hypothetical)?
>>6484Wut indeed. Ponimaru smirks at you, but you don't know where to go/ what to next (as far as Troll-face is concerned).
>>6488Is torquil in the stables too?
>>6487>ninja-farmingIts not an unreasonable conclusion, you're welcome to try.
>>6486Awww, thats awfully nice of you. Noted for future. ^_^
Also, what does the inside of the stables look like?
>>6492Aside from Ponimaru, who is maintaining an even distance from you (fully ready for battle) there's hay. few piles are around, but mostly flat/clear stables.
Hoooah. That took alot out of me. Thez and Lenos have been fixing to have a go ever since, and that's the first time they've given eachother what-for. I hope it was good 4 all, with an emphasis about declared intentions and pre-emptive strategy. NPCs can't do it to that level (player advantage) so don't hesitate if ur feelin' froggy.
[1d20 = 3]>>6493"~Pfffffft!"
>'Look who decided to wake up.'>mfwWere talking like a wooden, open-room stables, without dividers? Close to a barn?
Also detection
[1d20 = 16]>>6495>rolling a three on one of your most basic skills....
>>6496Do i even need to roll for that? Just checking for traps
>>6491I bring lennos to the library.
[1d20 = 15]>>6495Crystalline structure still, but wood framing and accenting. A mix of old-style and "nu-style" stables, mostly open to allow mounts (assuming non-hostile) to roam a bit.
>>6497If not pressed, generally no.
>>6498You're an afully caring Minotaur...
>tfw can't exploit the chance to chop them both up and liquidate their bodies for resources
>>6498Awww, I'm not even in character anymore and I'm touched. There'll be nothing lasting (aside from bantz) from this fight, but that you did that won't go unnoticed,... you big softie.
>>6499>[smugging intensifies]Does the cuck talk or not?
>>6502To you, no. He's on high alert, but he's not acting too aggressively.
>>6501Infernuis leave him note saying "me help you, can you show me how to make gold-steel items? Me would have brought you here whatever your decision is, me just not want to be mean like people who abandoned infernuis."
>>6503>doesn't respond to unwarranted smugpostingBoring...
>>6501Lucky he did too...
For clariification/elucidation/lulz, Thez and Lenos have had something of a rivalry ever since they first met (which was like when you all first met, except without the explosions).
>>6504Dood, stop, I'm having feels now. ^;_*
>>6505You could've staked both in the heart and they'd have still lived. Each requires special circumstances to kill, neither of which know what it is for the other.
>>6505He has a mission, and though he knows how dangerous you are (all TOO well) you're not his mission.
>>6506GM advice; them there claws make for good resources. I'd offer the horns, but that's why they're chopped
>>6506Infernuis decides to go and see the unicorn thats caused so much trouble.
>>6508The stable seems empty, except for the ninja-colt you rode back from Port Barry not too long ago.
>>6506I was unironically going to eat both their hearts, bottle their blood and wear their skins (I get autistic when I'm drunk)>>6506Move off to MY corner of the stables, make myself comfortable in MY hay, and lick the edge of MY kunai knife, in a very provocative manner.
[1d20 = 13]>>6510>autistic>drunkSounds like you're running on GM fuel.
>>6511You find the hay uncomfortable.
>>6509I walk over to the ninja colt. "Hey buddy feel like going on a run? Infernuis hear about place where you feel good in forest."
>>6511My bad, Tracy is there too.
I sometimes have trouble differentiating between players operating in a scene v. npcs in scene
>>6515"No," he says glaring at you, then doubly at Tracy.
>>6514God dammit. I wanted to keep this one under wraps (pun not unintended) so I rolled a legit dice and it came up 20.
So. Upon detection, Tracy finds that Ponimaru is in fact one of the latent piles of hay. Upon discovering this, Ponimaru gets a weird expression, and with a puff of smoke and vapor reverts to Trollestia.
>>6518infernuis be nice by asking but its a few hours on foot and im not walking infernuis going plant spotting.
*OOC:im looking for wild weed plants growing in the medow where tracy found the unicorn*
*Mounts ninja colt*
Rather, one of the piles is Ponimaru, and Ponimaru is Trollestia.
>>6521Noted, but it will have to wait. I gotta crash with the quickness. I'm (as usual) behind schedule on that.
>>6522>>6520Why unicorn look like hay?
>>6522So, I'm lying on top of ponimaru? *is really gross and THOT-like about it*
Is he dead? *continues to use him as pillow, regardless*
>>6524Well, since Tracy is murderous Ponimaru decided to hide. Since Trollestia is a troll, she decided to mask herself as Ponimaru (esp given the to do last night about 'who gets the unicorn').
>>6525No, he's alive, and aside from Trollestia revealing herself, you're the only one who knows there's a ninja hoers in the hay.
And with that, I bid you all a most esteemed and fond adieu, until next.
(phone checks, but otherwise out)
>>6526Trollestia knows where he is too? (just trying to make sense of the situation)
*lays on the colt with all her weight, as if she didn't know he was there*
>>6526>And with that, I bid you all a most esteemed and fond adieu, until next.REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>6526Also, can unicorns really generate weapons when they shape-shift? How did she get those knives?
>is unable to fall asleep.....
>>6528Yes
>>6530Yes, cosmetically.
From underneaf u, the 'pile' mutters something about unfinished business.
srsly, sleep
>>6532>*lays ass on face*sleeps, irl
K, quick update/explanation.
Lenos is not actually a Brownie. Lenos is actually a dragon, upon whom a ceremony-type binding spell was cast. He is a Black/Gold dragon hybrid (brought about when a Black dragon got his hands on a Gold dragon-orb and did some shenanigens with the resultingly helpless Golds he came across). His amulet allows him to temporarily dispel the seal and revert to his true form, but when he does he goes quite insane. Upon his defeat (mostly because of duration but also because it fits) he reverts to Brownie form. He and Thez will be infirm for 'a few days', so the party doesn't have to worry about their interference, if they wish to explore other avenues of the Game uninterrupted.
>>6534... How helpless would they be in this state...?
>>6534>Lenos is actually a dragonI knew he wasn't s regular brownie.
>>6527Can I get a clear description of this guy? He was a "mare" in his first mention, appeared to be an adult later on (could carry Infernius when Copperbutt couldn't) and now he's a colt. My reaction will very depending on the circumstances.
>>6538You'll have to excuse me, I'm often pretty drunk by the end of a session and often mis-type. He's a stallion.
>>6539>He's a stallion.There go my THOT Nee-san scenarios...
>>6540Sorry, but to fit the theme for the OC development, he would be older. Probably somewhere in his mid-late 30's.
>>6542If you really want, I can work it so this is (somehow) part of his training and development. He's based largely on Rikimaru from the Tenchu franchise, who did some weird multi-dimensional shit; if you really want, he can be a Colt. Not sure how he'd work as a steed in that event, but hey.
>>6543I don't want to be spoiled. That'd be great, but I can go either way. Do what you want.
>wants Tracy (not exclusively) to be happy
I don't mind. And actually, I just had an idea. I'm good with it. ^_^
>>6473Also bismuth. (yes, diamagnetic ^_~)
>>6545>>6543Alright then. I'll start by teaching him how dangerous it can be to be a white knight.
>>6546>bismuth>gemstoneDid yiu mean metal?
Also, Hi faggots
GM how did my forging go?
>>6548bismuth is a gemstone m9
>>6549>It is a brittle metal with a silvery white color when freshly produced, but surface oxidation can give it a pink tinge. Bismuth is the most naturally diamagnetic element, and has one of the lowest values of thermal conductivity among metals.Aka, the special color is rust
>>6550>Bismuth is an uncommon mineral composed of the element of the same name. Its rarity is about the same as Silver. It usually forms in ugly masses, though occasionally does form in aesthetic lustrous crystals. Bismuth has a metallic-white color with a slight reddish or pinkish hue. This pure color will only be present on an untarnished (i.e. freshly broken) surface, since Bismuth tarnishes yellow to dark-gray.
>>6551Crystals are a structure
Certain rocks will form in crystals but aren't gemstones
Salt is a great example of this
>>6548>>6549>>6550>>6551Yep. I wasn't suggesting bismuth was a gem, I was suggesting that having bismuth in a forge could allow the forger to 'rest' their material in magnetic suspension, allowing for greater thermal regularity.
>>6553OHHHH
That makes sense
>>6554Now check these trips
I use them to finish my rod
>>6555MAKING a rod is easy, you/I don't even need to roll for that. Embellishing and enchanting it, that's the hard part.
BUT starting with trips is a GOOD start
>>6557I figured trips would work somehow
>>6558They do, but item creation isn't simple at all. I mean it can .be simplified, but the WHOLE of the venture is this.
Tale subtle material. Work/mold it (masterwork). Apply embellishments (equal-greater quality). Apply magicks. Synergize.
You're talking 4 levels of crafting (and that's with a rod, weapons and armor require more).
I'm not saying "No, fail." or w/e, and we CAN simplify it, but your request was "Try my hand at forging". Xp
>>6559Huh
>local man tries tabletop rpg for first time>gets confused as fucking hell
Also, I'm not undistracted at the moment. My plate runneth over.

I guess
Also, I quite sadly won't have a playlist by saturday cause my pc's wireless adapter went down the shitter. FML
>>6571Were you intending to do something tonight?
>>6577Pls don't. I'm going to sleep.
>>6577No, and it seems by your candor that I need to refine my estimates. No worries
>>6576Not a problem, last session I looped the one song for hours.
