VARUS_AESTHETIC:

Fortuna:

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

...........

Igfig:

seriously fortuna are we going to finish?

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

HOLY SHIT

frosty:

fortuna are you alive?

Fortuna:

It's complicated.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

We could interpret that as a it's weird that we are going to be finishing it finally.

Igfig:

yes , yes we could

Igfig:

all right

Igfig:

LAST TIME

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

i just tossed my coffee cup at the garbage can, it smacked off the side, knocked out the cup sleeve and then both bounced off the rim and went in

frosty:

4 points?

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

yeah

server:

Orrin quit.

Igfig:

oops, I'l wait for Orrin to get back before the recap

Igfig:

huh, Erik is actually ofline

Igfig:

whatever, I'll recap right now anyway then

Igfig:

LAST TIME

Igfig:

The Lord of Blades' forces began their assault on Throneport

frosty:

he said he shows offline on skype to ward off people

Igfig:

ah

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

ya

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

message him anyways

Igfig:

they pushed back the defenders at the barricade

Igfig:

despite a punshing Acid Cloudkill

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

that really fucked them up

Igfig:

you led the defenders back through the streets to make a stand at Thronehold, the keep

Igfig:

but the other prong of the Blades' assault arrived from the northwest

server:

Orrin joined #pwot_dnd.

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

THE MOST HEROIC GROUP OF LOWLY SOLDIERS EVDR

Orrin:

Well that was odd.

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

HELD BACK THE ASSAULT

Igfig:

aye

frosty:

your odd

Orrin:

Not inaccurate.

Igfig:

between their sacrifice, Varus' illusionary dragon, and Orrin and Frosty's massive intimidation

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

SERIOUSLY WHAT WAS WITH THAT

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

ben has had unreal luck

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

with 20's

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

this WHOLE campaign

frosty:

wooooo

Arryn:

it is great

Igfig:

you were able to delay the warforged enough for the rest of your forces to escape into the keep and for Blaze to seal the gate behind them with a very thick Wall of Stone

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

blaze tends to be thick ;)

frosty:

is that an insult with a wink

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

oh

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

i meant thick as in big dick

Igfig:

literally has a rhino dick

Igfig:

As we finished, Orrin had issued a challenge

Arryn:

walrus

Igfig:

Karrnathi forces had arrived in the bay, led by the unexpectedly-alive Kaius III, King of Karrnath

Igfig:

the Lord of Blades was advancing toward you, though still a long ways off

Orrin:

Did he hear my rad solo, though?

Igfig:

he did

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

igfig you forgot someone

Igfig:

and Orrin's challenge had answered by none other than the Colonel of Cutlery himself, the juggernaut named Falchion

Igfig:

gentlemen

Igfig:

it is time

Igfig:

Eberron, episode omega

Igfig:

begin

Igfig:

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

Igfig:

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

or has he challenged a solo duel to the death

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

aw siht

Igfig:

bith

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

do we still need the map

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

oh

VARUS_AESTHETIC:

so will their forces leave us alone'

Igfig:

what's happening is

Igfig:

the attackers at the north gate are pushing forward through the last of the soldiers (the LoB ran on ahead)

server:

VARUS_AESTHETIC quit.

Igfig:

and the forces that had been following you from the east

Igfig:

have been halted by Orrin and Frosty

Igfig:

The Colonel was with the eastern forces

Igfig:

so, Orrin

Orrin:

Aye.

Igfig:

The Colonel is advancing toward you, spinning his warmaces

server:

obi_wan joined #pwot_dnd.

obi_wan:

obi_wan:

Igfig:

and smashing them alternately on the cobbles as he advances

Igfig:

setting up a counterpoint to your music

Varus:

Varus:

gyazo that other stuff

Igfig:

http://gyazo.com/c2be91ea2568e4fbe59cd85a20c7d405

Orrin:

Orrin's solo reaches a fever pitch.

Igfig:

Orrin, can I get a Perform check

Varus:

HMMM

Varus:

I see

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [19] = 27

Igfig:

1d20+5 perform

Fortuna:

Igfig, perform: [17] = 22

Varus:

not entirely sure what we should do here

Varus:

shit boy

Igfig:

you are both at the peak of your music game right now

Orrin:

FIRE ON THE MOUNTAIN, RUN BOYS RUN

Orrin:

How much damage would you say a lute does?

Varus:

i think i can contribute

Igfig:

but you're playing too fast for him to keep time

Igfig:

well, is this a normal lute, or a reinforced lute that you can hit people with?

Varus:

he means from sheer sound waves

Varus:

force of rock

Igfig:

this isn't Shetland Firestorm, you can't actually physically win a fight with music

Varus:

>:0

Varus:

well i absolutely see orrin as the kind of person whod have a reinforced lute for hitting people

Igfig:

but it will give the weaker party a Bane effect for the round

Igfig:

so the Colonel is at -1d4 to attacks and saves this round

Varus:

niiice

Varus:

ok

Igfig:

roll init?

Orrin:

He probably would, but I have never specified so probably just a regular lute.

Orrin:

1d20

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20: [8] = 8

Varus:

hold on

Igfig:

1d20+1

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+1: [5] = 6

Varus:

i think we should head east

Igfig:

wow

Varus:

let the lord attack the castle

Blaze_Half-Elf:

1d20

Fortuna:

Blaze_Half-Elf, 1d20: [3] = 3

Varus:

lets pull the colonol to the side

Varus:

defeat him

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Low rolls all around.

Orrin:

I think we should fight the huge robot who's attacking me that I just challenged to personal combat.

Varus:

then turn around and flank the lord with the undead army at our back

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

If you can shove him that way, by all means.

Varus:

i absolutely can!

Varus:

WITH

Varus:

THUNDERWAVE

Varus:

1d20+1

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20+1: [4] = 5

Igfig:

yeah, you have time for a quick duel with the Colonel

Varus:

man

Igfig:

oh wait what

Varus:

these inits

Orrin:

BEN

Igfig:

I thought this was supposed to be, like, a duel

Varus:

oh

Varus:

sure then

Orrin:

I did, too.

Orrin:

I reckon I can take him.

Varus:

we just rolled init cause you said to

Igfig:

this guy isn't strong enough to take you all on, he's going to just die

Varus:

ok ok

Igfig:

I meant Orrin and the Colonel

Varus:

so lets say we're back a bit

Orrin:

Go get the LoB.

Varus:

watching

Varus:

cheering

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I just rolled initiative cause I don't know why, yar.

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

I got this guy.

Varus:

exactly

Igfig:

sorry, I shoulda specified

Varus:

no no we are gunna stay and watch

Varus:

itll go quicker if its 1v1

Varus:

lets see this shit go down

Igfig:

hmm, is Arryn around by any chance? She could totally make the Dynamic Blade into a warlute

Varus:

where is arryn??

Orrin:

I knew I shoulda kept it.

frosty:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+5: [2] = 7

Orrin:

I mean if the lute is destroyed, it's almost better.

Arryn:

1d20+4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+4: [9] = 13

Orrin:

But it has to do SOME damage.

Varus:

why are you rolling ben

Orrin:

You're not rolling Ben. This is my fight.

Arryn:

init?

Arryn:

oh

Varus:

its a duel

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yar, we missed that too.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

When we rolled init.

Varus:

arryn make the dynamic blade into a warlute and toss it to orrin

Igfig:

unless you want to throw Orrin your blade

Arryn:

never again

Orrin:

Pff, you dropped it the first time.

Igfig:

But yeah Orrin, I think a two-handed blow with a lute would deal... 1d6? It's an improvised weapon

Orrin:

Hmm.

Varus:

then itd break

Orrin:

Maybe worth it, seeing as my hammer only does 2d6 anyway.

Varus:

orrin

Varus:

how high do you think you can throw

Varus:

my idea

Orrin:

If we pull this off, I think I can convince Jaela to give me another one.

Igfig:

true

Varus:

throw the lute into the air at the start of the battle

Igfig:

hehe

Varus:

hammer him to death in 2 rounds

Varus:

catch it again

Igfig:

so Orrin, what are you doing?

Varus:

you're on a roof right

Varus:

you could throw it high enough from there for 3 rounds

Orrin:

I'm on the ground.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Pretty sure most of us are on the street, yar.

Orrin:

I stepped into the breach to challenge him.

Varus:

i thought you and ben were roofied

Orrin:

It's okay.

Varus:

alright then

Varus:

varus is on the roof

Orrin:

It's metal as fuck if I break it on his face.

Varus:

but imagine the pose

Varus:

throwing

Orrin:

If I hit him once with the lute can I draw the hammer for my second attack?

Varus:

killing

Varus:

catching

Igfig:

yeah, sure

Orrin:

Works for me.

Orrin:

As the Colonel approaches, Orrin plays a resounding chord.

Orrin:

Flipping his lute to grasp it by the head, he spins in a mighty swing.

Igfig:

he's charging, but you get in the first hit nevertheless

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [2] = 10

Igfig:

oh, well

Orrin:

Yikes.

Orrin:

I guess since it didn't hit I can swing with the lute again?

Igfig:

aye

server:

frosty charges with Orrin so's to not be away from him

Orrin:

Pretending nobody saw that, Orrin swings again.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [5] = 13

Orrin:

Jesus.

Igfig:

:(

Varus:

man

Varus:

we got 20s on the start

Varus:

now we're just

Varus:

below 10 EVERY roll

Orrin:

Orrin drops the lute.

Orrin:

It's not a very good weapon.

Igfig:

you swing twice, but he ducks right under your blows and sweeps his two maces together from opposite sides, with you in the middle

Igfig:

2#1d20+5

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+5: [16] = 21; 1d20+5: [4] = 9

Orrin:

I believe the first one hits.

Igfig:

1d10+3+2d6

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d10+3+2d6: [10, 4, 3] = 20

Orrin:

How much is my magic shield?

Igfig:

+2

Orrin:

Yeah that hits.

Igfig:

oh wait wait

Igfig:

I forgot

Igfig:

he's baned

Orrin:

Ha! Jerk.

Igfig:

21-1d4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 21-1d4: [3] = 18

Igfig:

he mises

Orrin:

Well he definitely doesn't hit then.

Orrin:

Orrin also ducks.

Orrin:

"Well, that was special."

Igfig:

a furious exchange of blows, and then the two of you leap apart

Igfig:

both unfazed

frosty:

hehe

Igfig:

his two maces clapped together as you dodged back, and he keeps it up between strikes on the cobble, a smash smash clash kinda noise

Igfig:

more perform checks

Varus:

GUYS I KNOW HOW WE CAN HELP

Igfig:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+5: [12] = 17

Varus:

two hits on the ground then a clap

Varus:

repeat that over and over

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [20] = 28

Igfig:

your lute is still ok, so you can keep Performing

frosty:

1d20+5 stomp stomp clap

Fortuna:

frosty, stomp stomp clap: [6] = 11

Igfig:

oh, well

Orrin:

I obliterate him with the power of my rock.

Igfig:

haha, oh man

Igfig:

he actually drops a mace

Igfig:

and is baned again

Orrin:

Orrin is so fucking good at the lute.

Igfig:

your turn, though

Varus:

PICK IT UP

Orrin:

He charges right back in, swinging the lute like a madman.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [16] = 24

Orrin:

There's more like it.

Igfig:

he charges right back at you, swinging the mace two-handed

Igfig:

1d20+6

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+6: [12] = 18

Igfig:

you hit, he doesn't

Igfig:

18-1d4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 18-1d4: [2] = 16

server:

frosty stomp stomp clap

Orrin:

So I deal 1d6.

Orrin:

1d6

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d6: [5] = 5

Orrin:

And I assume my lute is smashed.

Orrin:

But I am also goign to Thunderous Smite him.

Orrin:

He must make a Con save.

Igfig:

plus str, plus whatever else you like

Igfig:

oka

Orrin:

He's Baned on Saves, right?

Igfig:

1d20+5-1d4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+5-1d4: [11, 1] = 15

Orrin:

So 9 for starters.

Igfig:

15 on the con save

Orrin:

I believe that passes.

Orrin:

I don't remember how to calculate my DC, though, it may have increased when we leveled.

Igfig:

8+prof+cha, I think

Igfig:

and yeah, it would have gone up 1

Orrin:

Oh it should be 16 then.

Igfig:

your prof went from 3 to 4

Orrin:

Boss.

Igfig:

ah, so he fails

Igfig:

how much then

Orrin:

So there is a thunderous wave of pure METAL.

Orrin:

Also, all unsecured objects within a 15-foot cube are pushed 10 feet away from me, and the boom is heard from 300 feet away.

Igfig:

splinters and strings flying everywhere

Varus:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGaOlfmX8rQ

Igfig:

he would get to counterstrike with his armblades, except you pushed him back out of range there

Orrin:

And I still get my second attack.

Igfig:

oh

Igfig:

right

Orrin:

Orrin follows as the Colonel is blasted backward, drawing his hammer and swinging in one furious motion.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [7] = 15

Orrin:

Man I cannot roll for shit today.

Igfig:

that's a miss though

Igfig:

1d20+5-1d4 blades

Fortuna:

Igfig, blades: [20, 3] = 22

Igfig:

Orrin:

Just rude is what it is.

Igfig:

grabs your hammer as it slams into the ground next to him, and swipes you across the face with his armblade

Igfig:

2d6+3 damage

Fortuna:

Igfig, damage: [6, 5] = 14

Orrin:

I can live with it.

Igfig:

I guess neither of you can perform this round, though

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Orrin could sing, yar, though he did get cut in the face.

Igfig:

he's grappling you by your hammer

Orrin:

Wouldn't stop a true performer.

Orrin:

Am I gonna have to roll to get it away from him?

Orrin:

This is how I almost killed Arryn.

Igfig:

how appropriate

Igfig:

yeah, unless you want to let go and grab something else I guess

Arryn:

:P

Igfig:

or punch him

Blaze_Half-Elf:

There are less impressive drops here though.

Igfig:

or whatever

Orrin:

I don't really have anything else, so I guess we just do opposed Str checks?

Igfig:

Athletics

Igfig:

1d20+5 athletics

Fortuna:

Igfig, athletics: [4] = 9

Orrin:

1d20+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+4: [6] = 10

frosty:

heheh

Orrin:

God we are having just the saddest penultimate duel ever.

Igfig:

yeah

server:

Arryn booooooo

Orrin:

Orrin wrenches his hammer away and brings it right back down for the kill.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [18] = 26

Orrin:

HA.

Varus:

Orrin:

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d8: [3, 2] = 5

Orrin:

As the hammer connects, searing light flares out.

Igfig:

He brings his arm up in time to take it there instead of on the head

Varus:

maybe both of you are skilled

Varus:

that you cant even scratch the other

Igfig:

then, holding the clash, swings his mace up from below...

Igfig:

1d20+6 mace

Fortuna:

Igfig, mace: [3] = 9

Arryn:

lollers

Orrin:

Orrin's magic shield deflects the blow.

Igfig:

but it's a feint, he's really striking with his armblade again

Igfig:

1d20+5 armbalde

Fortuna:

Igfig, armbalde: [15] = 20

Arryn:

finnaly

Orrin:

Orrin's magic shield deflects the blow.

Igfig:

really? What's your AC again?

Orrin:

18.

Igfig:

so a 20 hits

Orrin:

Well, the shield is a +2.

Igfig:

right

Orrin:

Does he have to meet it or beat it?

Igfig:

meet

Orrin:

Ah.

Orrin:

I've been doing that all wrong in my head.

Igfig:

1d6+3 damage

Fortuna:

Igfig, damage: [1] = 4

Igfig:

not much damage though

Orrin:

Still pushing forward despite the mild wounds to his face, Orrin brings the hammer to bear again.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [17] = 25

Igfig:

Orrin:

There is a comical sound of coins falling.

Orrin:

But misses the second time.

Igfig:

okay, from here on let's roll all our attacks for each turn all at once, to save time

Orrin:

Fair enough.

Varus:

have you considered this advice: git gud

Orrin:

Hey, I've put a fair amount of damage out.

Igfig:

Oh, right

frosty:

1d20+5 still be intimidating

Fortuna:

frosty, still be intimidating: [6] = 11

frosty:

eh

Orrin:

I've put 40 on him so far, he can not be feeling great.

Varus:

yar

Varus:

ive been playing super smash bros

Igfig:

This hit finally breaks through his defenses and *clonk*s him right on the head

Igfig:

he's sent sprawling

frosty:

ive been watching sportsgames

Igfig:

but grabs his fallen mace as he does, rolls back to his feat, and leaps back into the fray

Arryn:

me too

Igfig:

2#1d20+6; 1d20+5

Igfig:

uh, Fortuna?

Arryn:

Igfig:

Do you not like that synax

Orrin:

She did not like that.

Igfig, 1d20+6: [4] = 10; 1d20+6: [8] = 14

Igfig:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+5: [19] = 24

Orrin:

Well the blades hit.

Igfig:

again, the maces are completely useless, and only the blades do anything

Igfig:

1d6+3

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d6+3: [5] = 8

Orrin:

Orrin is getting really tired of getting his head slashed at.

Igfig:

I don't think this was your head necessarily, but yeah

Igfig:

I guess you're better at defending against people with actual weapons than grapplers/martial artists

Orrin:

Well still, being slashed.

Orrin:

He doesn't like it.

Igfig:

indeed

Orrin:

With a growl, he swings his own hammer twice in response.

Orrin:

2#1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [1] = 9; 1d20+8: [2] = 10

Orrin:

Good. God.

Igfig:

oh no

Igfig:

you lost your temper

Igfig:

and basically just threw your hammer

Igfig:

which was a bad choice

Orrin:

HIYAH

Igfig:

double mace spearing straight at your stomach

Igfig:

2#1d20+6

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+6: [1] = 7; 1d20+6: [8] = 14

Orrin:

This guy is terrible.

Arryn:

Igfig:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+5: [2] = 7

Varus:

ahaha

Igfig:

well

Igfig:

uh

Varus:

good weapons doesnt mean he knows how to use them

Arryn:

fucking awfule

Orrin:

We both just look at each other sheepishly.

Igfig:

it's okay that you lost your hammer

Igfig:

because you now have one of his maces

Varus:

mace fencing

Orrin:

Deftly catching the fallen mace, Orrin brings it right back toward its owner.

Orrin:

2#1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [10] = 18; 1d20+8: [1] = 9

Igfig:

"I see you know your Agrippa."

Orrin:

Hahahahaha.

Arryn:

hahahahahahhaha

Igfig:

wow

Orrin:

Well the first hit connects.

Igfig:

one solid hit, and then he has it right back again

Orrin:

How much damage do these maces do?

server:

frosty stomp stomp clap

Igfig:

"Unfortunately for you. So do I"

Igfig:

Fortuna:

Igfig, one-handed: [8] = 8

Igfig:

Orrin:

Well, I imagine I swung it 2-handed.

Orrin:

1d12+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d12+4: [11] = 15

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

very nice

Orrin:

"Just giving you a hand. You look like you need it."

Igfig:

you've cracked the plating in his shoulder, and the fissure spreads across his chest

Igfig:

he doesn't look to have much more in him

Igfig:

but presses on regardless

Igfig:

2#1d20+6

Igfig:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+5: [17] = 22

Orrin:

There's some hits.

Igfig:

wow

Igfig:

without your hammer, you're hard-pressed to defend yourself

Igfig:

1d10+3+2d6; 1d10+3; 1d6+3

Igfig:

...do semicolons not work at all?

Igfig:

1d10+3+2d6,1d10+3,1d6+3

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d10+3+2d6,1d10+3,1d6+3: [5, 1, 6, 9, 5] = (15, 12, 8)

Orrin:

She hates them.

Igfig:

35 damage!

Orrin:

Well Orrin is very bloodied.

Igfig:

you fall to your knees beneath the Colonel's mace blows

Orrin:

Disengage is just your move action, right? Or do I have to give up my whole turn for it?

Varus:

move

Igfig:

it's your action

Igfig:

and then you use your move to move

Igfig:

so yeah, whole turn

Orrin:

Hmm.

Orrin:

So Divine Smite says I have to use a melee weapon attack, does that include just a punch?

Orrin:

Can I punch him so hard that holy light burns him to death is what I'm asking.

Igfig:

that is entirely allowed

Orrin:

Orrin punches directly at the center of the fissure in the Colonel's chest.

Orrin:

How does proficiency work with unarmed?

Igfig:

same as always

Orrin:

Well I have simple and martial weapons, I didn't know if Unarmed was a different thing.

Orrin:

Anyway, a mighty blow.

Igfig:

it's simple

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [5] = 13

Orrin:

Orrin punches a second mighty blow.

Varus:

SERIOUSLY MAN

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [9] = 17

Igfig:

that is not quite enough

Orrin:

Orrin is furious.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

maybe fate point?

Orrin:

He hates this fucking guy.

Orrin:

Maybe enough to use a fate point?

Varus:

but what

Igfig:

let me say something

Igfig:

"Submit. Dwarf. Fleshkind cannot stand against steel."

Orrin:

Orrin coughs a little on account of all the broken ribs.

Orrin:

"We haven't done too bad so far."

Igfig:

okay, go ahead

Orrin:

Okay.

Igfig:

(I figured this was a good opportunity to feed you a chance for a badass one-liner)

Orrin:

So This Just Got Personal.

frosty:

1d20+5 intimidate

Fortuna:

frosty, intimidate: [14] = 19

Orrin:

Orrin:

How much damage does a punch do?

Igfig:

1

Igfig:

+ str

frosty:

WOOO

Orrin:

so 5.

Igfig:

yep

Varus:

welp

Varus:

maybe add some divine stuff into there

Orrin:

As orrin's fist strikes home, the emblems on his armor blaze with golden light.

Orrin:

As he casts Divine Smite at level 3.

Orrin:

4d8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 4d8: [8, 3, 6, 1] = 18

Igfig:

hahahahahaha

Varus:

dang

Varus:

u sure bro

Varus:

?

Orrin:

I am certain.

Varus:

a level three smite could be useful

Varus:

ok

Orrin:

I have another one.

Orrin:

It's all good.

Varus:

ok

Orrin:

I mean I could do two but I really need to kill this guy.

Igfig:

The Colonel's chest crumples

frosty:

hahah

Igfig:

cracks radiate outwards

Igfig:

and then he fucking explodes

Orrin:

Orrin stands, chest heaving, in the wreckage of the Colonel of Cutler.

server:

frosty STOMP STOMP CLAP

Orrin:

"Anyone else?"

server:

Blaze_Half-Elf stomp stomp clap

Orrin:

Then he stage whispers "Blaze healz plz."

Igfig:

wait a sec

Blaze_Half-Elf:

?

Igfig:

you're getting a free short rest in just a second

Orrin:

Oh neat.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh right, yar.

Igfig:

The other warforged look at each other a little uncertainly

Igfig:

Frosty, you probably weren't right behind Orrin while he was duelling the Colonel, were you?

server:

frosty is like super intimidating

frosty:

i was

Varus:

he was nearby

Igfig:

since they were movign around quite a bit

Varus:

like really near

Igfig:

okay

Varus:

varus hops down from a rooftop

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yeah he said he charged in too to stay nearby back at the beginning of the fight.

Varus:

"FUCKIN RIGHT"

Igfig:

oh, right

frosty:

[18:58] * frosty charges with Orrin so's to not be away from him

Blaze_Half-Elf:

This also served to provide dramatic emergent lighting from his position shifting to stay close by.

Igfig:

the silence after Orrin speaks

Igfig:

well, after Varus I guess

Igfig:

is broken by a voice

Igfig:

"I ACCEPT."

Igfig:

"YOUR CHALLENGE."

Varus:

aw shit

Igfig:

The Lord of Blades has arrived.

Igfig:

He's still a ways out

frosty:

"YOOOOOOOOOOOO"

Varus:

is his army sieging the castle?

Igfig:

about eighty feet

frosty:

"WASSUP"

Igfig:

actually, more like 120

Varus:

dangit

Varus:

now hes out of range

frosty:

"I FEEL ALIIIIIIVE"

Igfig:

the juggernauts and chargers are only just finishing up the northern-gate soldiers

Igfig:

so they're still a bit further

Varus:

how long did that duel last?

Igfig:

but as the Lord speaks

Varus:

like a minute?

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

well, time gets fiddled with a bit for dramatic purposes

Igfig:

as the Lord speaks

Igfig:

there is a great rumble from the south

frosty:

"YOU THOUGHT I LAY DOWN AND DIE, NO NOT I, I WILL SURVIVE"

Igfig:

a wind sweeping across the sky, turning the clouds from grey to black

Igfig:

followed by a keening like a million steel blades being sharpened at once

Igfig:

and then a shockwave, explosive, trailing a searing ring of red lighting

Igfig:

and louder than anything you've ever heard

Varus:

(not as loud as orrin's snoring oh snap)

Igfig:

the very ground beneath you shudders--or is it recoiling?

Igfig:

Str save DC 15 to avoid falling down

Varus:

aw fuck

Varus:

1d20-1

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20-1: [15] = 14

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh boy.

Varus:

AW

Orrin:

You should all be close enough to get my +4.

Orrin:

So you're good.

Varus:

oh yeah

Varus:

so im good then

Varus:

17

Blaze_Half-Elf:

1d20+4

Fortuna:

Blaze_Half-Elf, 1d20+4: [18] = 22

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [6] = 14

frosty:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+5: [16] = 21

Varus:

orrin is still unsteady

Igfig:

the sky is a deep crimson now

Arryn:

1d20+1

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+1: [5] = 6

server:

Arryn wump

Igfig:

and on the wind come whispers

Varus:

where IS arryn anyways

Orrin:

Orrin wobbles a little bit and then falls to one knee.

frosty:

oh right the +4

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Probably on a rooftop, having been striking a pose but now on her butt.

frosty:

21+4

Fortuna:

frosty, 21+4: [] = 25

Igfig:

or not whispers, but very far-off screams of rage

frosty:

I AM SOLID

Orrin:

"Guys I think this might be related to the undead skeleton army."

Varus:

do we know about the undead skeleton army?

Igfig:

As the shockwave passes, your hearts are filled with rage and hunger for a moment, adrenaline surging through your veins at a trillion psi

Arryn:

i saw it

Blaze_Half-Elf:

The skeleton army is to the east though?

Arryn:

i probly said something

Igfig:

everybody gets a free short rest, and also recovers 5 spell levels

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh snap.

frosty:

RAGE

Varus:

igfig i can recover spells already

Varus:

in a short rest

frosty:

HUNGER

Varus:

so do i just recover all my spell slots

Igfig:

yeah, but only 1/day which I think you've already done

frosty:

I AM FIRE, EATER OF ALL

Varus:

no i havent

Orrin:

How many hit dice can I spend on a short rest?

Varus:

all of them

Igfig:

Well then recover what you would normally recover on top of what I just gave you

Varus:

okay

Igfig:

another 5 levels, I think?

Igfig:

so 10 levels, divided as you like among slots

Varus:

yup 5

Orrin:

Do I actually have to roll them?

Varus:

okay

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

well

Varus:

or you can take the median i thought

Igfig:

we can assume you're up to full

Orrin:

Yeah I mean we're not getting another rest so I'll use as many as it takes.

Igfig:

no, median is only for rolling your hp

Varus:

aah okay

Igfig:

actually, it might affect how injured you are after this battle, if you survive

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So just so I know how it works, so if I recover my 5th level spell slot that is the only slot I recover?

Igfig:

yeah

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Right then.

Varus:

i recovered cloud kill

Orrin:

I recovered all the spells I spent on that dildo.

Orrin:

So that's nice.

Igfig:

aright

Varus:

aaand

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I'm just going to do that then cause a level 5 heat metal spell would be amazing.

Varus:

i think ill recover ray of enfeeblement and thunderwave and scorching ray

Igfig:

hehe

Varus:

alrighty

Orrin:

Man, how cool was it when I punched that robot so hard he exploded?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Pretty darn cool.

Arryn:

i have no spells

Igfig:

you know that you don't have to choose a specific spell, right Varus?

Varus:

o right

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

well those are the spells i used in those slots

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Slightly overshadowed at the moment by the overwhelming doom in the atmosphere, but still.

frosty:

spells are for losers

Igfig:

Arryn and Frosty just feel really angry

Orrin:

Meh, we've been dealing with overwhelming doom for weeks now.

Varus:

yeah

Igfig:

Anyway!

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yeah, not sky color changing levels of it though.

Igfig:

The Lord of Blades laughs

Igfig:

or rather

Orrin:

When was the last time we WEREN'T in a race against time to stop some fucking thing or other from happening.

Igfig:

says "HA. HA. HA. HA."

Igfig:

"APOTHEOSIS IS AT HAND."

Varus:

awkward

Arryn:

i was flying a couple hours ago that was fun

Igfig:

"EVERYTHING YOU HAVE EVER LOVED WILL PASS INTO DUST."

Varus:

"I love you lord"

Varus:

"will you turn to dust too"

frosty:

"and you into rust"

frosty:

dangit Varus that was lame

Varus:

I love him :'(

Orrin:

I love dust.

Igfig:

"NO I WILL BECOME GREATER THAN YOU CAN IMAGINE. I. THE FINAL BECOMING GOD."

Varus:

will dust turn to dust

Orrin:

Your move, Ominous Otherworldly Apocalypse.

Orrin:

Oh man.

Varus:

"but you said that everything we love will turn to dust, if i love you, you will turn to dust

frosty:

"NU UH"

Igfig:

"THE RITUAL IS COMPLETE."

frosty:

"I AM GOD"

Orrin:

I hope the fact that we broke his machine just fucks him over completely.

Varus:

"You're contradicting yourself here lord"

Varus:

oh right

Varus:

i forgot we did that

Orrin:

He doesn't know we did the thing.

Varus:

i wonder if he knows we did that

frosty:

"DUM DUM"

Varus:

we still have that coil

Igfig:

er wait

Orrin:

It's in Frosty's chest.

Igfig:

*"THE RITUAL IS UNDERWAY"

Igfig:

"BUT YOU WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE ITS COMPLETION."

frosty:

"I WAS GOD FIRST"

frosty:

"LOSER"

Varus:

oh right

Orrin:

"You might not either, chum."

Varus:

i wonder what he has to say about frosty being back

frosty:

"YOU CANNOT KILL A GOD"

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I'd say showing him the iron thing would be fun, but, would he even know about the iron thing in the first place? Or have any knowledge of its importance to the ritual?

Igfig:

"WHAT IS A GOD TO A BETTER GOD"

Igfig:

"YOU ARE NOTHING"

Varus:

lets do it RIGHT as the transformation happens

Varus:

man that was a terrible line

frosty:

"ALIVE"

Varus:

the lord has no way with words

Igfig:

I know right

frosty:

"YOU MISERABLE SHIT"

Orrin:

In his defense, he probably never really had to.

Varus:

yeah he just shouts a lot

Orrin:

There aren't a lot of problems he can't or won't solve by murdering them.

frosty:

"YOU TRIED TO KILL ME, YOU CANT EVEN DOUSE A FIRE"

Igfig:

"ADVANCE MY LEGIONS. TAKE THE CASTLE. LEAVE THESE ONES TO ME."

frosty:

"FUCK HOLSTER"

Igfig:

WE HAVE UNFINISHED BUSINESS. THEM. I. AND MY ALLIES."

frosty:

'PISSLORD''

Igfig:

He raises something, a small metal cube covered in etchings

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Frosty is being a real spitfire.

Igfig:

crushes it in his hands

Varus:

can i roll arcana

Orrin:

"Guys remember when I punted this schlub's dogs out that window? What a doofus."

server:

frosty moons the lords of blades

frosty:

1d20+5 intimidate

Fortuna:

frosty, intimidate: [5] = 10

Igfig:

"I WILL KILL YOU FOR THAT"

Varus:

sad

frosty:

awwww

Igfig:

"ALL OF THAT"

Varus:

an intimidating moon

Varus:

the butt growls a little

server:

frosty farts

Igfig:

as the cube shatters, a dozen smallish demons appear in a flash of darkness around you

Igfig:

the Lord raises his arm and cocks an embedded wand

Orrin:

Oooh little demons, NOW I'm scared.

Varus:

yeah we kinda

Varus:

got a guy thats all about divine stuff right here

Varus:

also surrounded?

Varus:

bad idea

Varus:

that just means thunderwave

Igfig:

and the two artificers flanking him raise their own wands

Igfig:

thunderwave is a cube, not a burst

Varus:

man this guys still 30 meters away

Igfig:

he's about 80 now

Igfig:

and now

Varus:

i know i mean ill thunderwave the demons

Igfig:

unless there's anything else you want to do in the next 6 seconds

Orrin:

I don't think they're going to do anythign to us.

Igfig:

roll initiative.

Varus:

Igfig:

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/20/fe/6f/20fe6fd3d422bffc2ff696702f243d5c.jpg

Varus:

should we make a map

Igfig:

is what the little demons look like

Varus:

ew

Igfig:

We could, but we don't have to I think

Varus:

how close are they

Orrin:

Cute.

Igfig:

well, how were you guys standing?

frosty:

"ugly motherfuckers, arent you

frosty:

"

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Probably posing, cause shit just got real.

Varus:

i assumed right beside each other

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

we were posing

Varus:

like idiots

Varus:

anyways

Varus:

thunderwave is 15 foot radius

Igfig:

15-foot cube

Igfig:

not radius

Varus:

so 7.5 radius

Varus:

are they in range of that

Orrin:

I suppose I'm between these goofballs and the danger.

Arryn:

15 cubed is not 7.5

Varus:

orrin

Arryn:

like 225

Varus:

i meant 7.5 from me to the edge of the cube

Varus:

anyways

Varus:

can i cast antigrav on you orrin

Varus:

and throw you at the lord

Igfig:

well you wouldn't be able to hit more than about three or four regardless, since they're not all in a mass

Varus:

thats good neough

Igfig:

they're surrounding you in a circle

Varus:

hitting 4 is a good number

Orrin:

Let's see if they even get an init.

Igfig:

anyway, rolling

Igfig:

1d20-1 manes init

Fortuna:

Igfig, manes init: [14] = 13

Orrin:

Before we do stuff to them.

Orrin:

Okay they did.

Igfig:

1d20+1 artificers init

Fortuna:

Igfig, artificers init: [3] = 4

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Darn, the artificers beat me cause they have a higher bonus then me.

Igfig:

1d20+2 LoB init

Fortuna:

Igfig, LoB init: [14] = 16

Orrin:

Man Ig, this has some decent loops.

Igfig:

what's the order?

Igfig:

aye

Varus:

yeah this is good

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I know it does, I was so happy.

Igfig:

this is Blaze's choice

Igfig:

good choice Blaze

Varus:

varus, lord of blades, arryn, manes, orrin, frosty, blaze

Igfig:

basically perfect for the context

Orrin:

Varus, LoB, Arryn, Orrin, Manes, Frosty, Artificers, Blaze.

Igfig:

okay

Orrin:

I go before Manes because my bonus is higher.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yar, it is dramatic, there are metal noises, it is all fun.

Varus:

oh ok

Igfig:

in that case Varus

Igfig:

feel free to begin

Varus:

THUNDERWAVE

Varus:

Varus:

Varus:

the moment the "battle" begins

Varus:

Varus:

frosty:

exploding is my bit, man

Varus:

too bad

Igfig:

I think it's Str, isn't it? It's a push

Orrin:

You can show him how it's done here in a minute.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Also, just realized I forgot the as a team part with that pose cause shit just got real thing earlier.

Varus:

no its a con save

frosty:

i will explode in you face

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Remember we are doing that altered saves thing I think?

Igfig:

and explode is not the right word, because this is a blast, not a burst

frosty:

;)

Varus:

ive used this spell enough to know

Blaze_Half-Elf:

It hasn't come up very often, yar.

Igfig:

their Str i s slightly worse in any case

Igfig:

3#1d20

Varus:

Varus:

Igfig:

nah, you just can't take an action this turn

Varus:

frosty:

lol @ breathers

Varus:

Igfig:

but you already did, so it's ok

Igfig:

you can still move

Varus:

Varus:

so basically

Varus:

fuck the lord of blade

Igfig:

Igfig:

Varus:

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Igfig:

Varus:

Orrin:

Arryn.

Igfig:

Arryn!

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Aw man.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Varus:

Igfig:

Arryn:

ok lessee attacking blind

Arryn:

uh we saw where they were before tho right?

Igfig:

Igfig:

you know which square to attack, but will have disad

Arryn:

okay what works on demons.....

Arryn:

axes

Arryn:

demons dont like axes, i am p sure

server:

Arryn turns sword to axe

Igfig:

sounds about right

Varus:

a two hand is 1d12

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Axes work great in most games I can think of when it comes to killing demons.

Igfig:

and one-hand is 1d8

Arryn:

one handed

Igfig:

aight, battleaxe ho

Arryn:

and so with my new axe i charge at a demon varus knocked over

Igfig:

aight

Arryn:

whichever, idc

Varus:

that means advantage

Varus:

cause its down

Igfig:

so they cancel out

Varus:

7yuop

Igfig:

good choice

Arryn:

1d20+8 axe

Fortuna:

Arryn, axe: [3] = 11

Arryn:

pffff

Varus:

you know

Varus:

it may have been better to use cloud kill

Varus:

but i want to hit the lord withn that

Igfig:

against these demons, you mean?

Orrin:

Wouldn't that also kill us?

Arryn:

1d20+8 SHORTSORD

Fortuna:

Arryn, SHORTSORD: [5] = 13

Varus:

yes to both

Varus:

itd have hit one half of them

Varus:

and then rolled away towards the lord

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I'd definitely aim it at the Lord of Blades and see if you can't get those artificers with it as well.

Igfig:

oh, actually both of those hit Arryn

Varus:

i can get both

Varus:

wow

Varus:

they reallydont have much ac

Arryn:

oh

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Cause spellcasters are a pain in the keester.

Arryn:

ok

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

so blaze on your turn

Varus:

can you fly towards the lord when i ride you

Igfig:

damage Arryn?

Varus:

so i can be close to cloud kill right after

Varus:

since you go last

Arryn:

hang on, remembering how much

Varus:

1d8

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d8: [6] = 6

Varus:

+ strength

Varus:

NICE

Arryn:

1d8+4 axe

Fortuna:

Arryn, axe: [6] = 10

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I'm not going to be flying, I think things are going to get a little weird when I transform.

Igfig:

you cleave it right in half Arryn

Varus:

oh god

Varus:

what are you doing blaze

Igfig:

also Blaze are you using your magic staff at all this fight

Varus:

WAIT

Varus:

I KNOW WHAT YOURE DOING

Arryn:

well fuck

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I really should, yeah.

Varus:

use the staff once we get close

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I can do that before I transform.

Varus:

arent both of those an action?

Arryn:

can i use that sord on the other fallen one?

Igfig:

it's only 5 ft radius, remember

Varus:

use it once we get to the lord in melee range then

Varus:

itll help orrin a lot

Igfig:

you can Arryn

Igfig:

and I thought wild shape was a bonus action?

Varus:

igfig is this a deadly rating encounter

Blaze_Half-Elf:

It is a bonus action for me.

Varus:

oh cool

Arryn:

1d6 i dont remember if sord has a bonus for anything

Fortuna:

Arryn, i dont remember if sord has a bonus for anything: [5] = 5

Igfig:

it is, Varus

Arryn:

STAB STAB

Varus:

strength ben

Varus:

and ok

Igfig:

you run it right through

Varus:

fuck ya

Igfig:

the two dead demons dissolve into black tarry goop

Arryn:

these fuckin demons

Arryn:

goddam chumps

Igfig:

Doing anything else Arryn? Or is it Orrin's turn

Igfig:

you still have about 15' of movement

Varus:

i think youre in a good position

Varus:

just hang around there

Varus:

itll divide the demon's movement

Arryn:

uh i dont think i move

Arryn:

yeah

Varus:

ORRIN THEN

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Orrin can probably just send all the demons running in fear really.

Varus:

fortuna has a higher ping than igfig

Orrin:

I don't have a spell for that.

Igfig:

Whatcha doin Orrin

Orrin:

But I'm gonna do something much more useful.

Varus:

just fuck something up

Varus:

do the legend of zelda spin attack

Orrin:

I'm gonna use my action to cast Righteous Shield before anything bad happens.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Don't you have that fear causing thing? But yar, you know what you can do.

Orrin:

any of you within 10 feet of me have resistance to bludgeoning, slashing and piercing.

Orrin:

I can only do that to one person Blaze.

Igfig:

oh wow

Varus:

thats the stuff i doooo like

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh, now I know, yar.

Varus:

orrin is a walking mass aura

frosty:

uh i already have resistance to that am i like immune now

Varus:

i think the resist doubles

Orrin:

So you take 1/4 damage from basically all melee.

Orrin:

Neat!

Varus:

all martial

frosty:

woooo

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I don't think it works like that? If it did then that'd be insane.

Varus:

cause that includes bows and stuff

Orrin:

Resist is just half damage now.

Orrin:

Instead of the way it used to be.

Igfig:

it does not double

Varus:

^^

Varus:

oh

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Think of a team of four paladins going phalanxe with all of them having Righteous shield active.

Arryn:

awww

Varus:

aha

Orrin:

Oh well, now we all have it.

Varus:

thatd be AMAZING

Igfig:

also Orrin, what is Righteous Shield? I don't see it in the spell list

Igfig:

is it a paladin ability I don't see?

Orrin:

Hmm.

Orrin:

Did they rename it in the final thing? Hold on.

Varus:

yeah its here in the playtest book

Igfig:

oh, you should be really careful about working out of that

Varus:

i know something we should be more careful of

Varus:

WHATEVER CHAIN IS FUCKING DOING

Orrin:

Yeah I haven't used it yet so I kinda forgot it was there.

Igfig:

what level spell is it?

Igfig:

3?

Varus:

coulda been useful

Orrin:

2.

Varus:

wow

Varus:

that doesnt sound like a level 2 spell

Arryn:

would chain have shown us the engine if he was bad

Varus:

he could have expected us to die to the big thing

Orrin:

They may just have taken it out.

Orrin:

Huh.

Varus:

shit

Igfig:

that is way too strong, I think

Igfig:

because Stoneskin is a level 4 spell

Igfig:

and does the same thing except single-target

Varus:

yeah

frosty:

SUCKEEEERS

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Probably why they took it out, yar.

Varus:

heyf rosty

Varus:

fuck you

Igfig:

how about Aura of Vitality?

frosty:

;)

Igfig:

or Aid

Orrin:

I'm trying to decide between that and Crusader's Mantle.

server:

Arryn quit.

Igfig:

Crusader's Mantle is also cool

Orrin:

Would y'all rather have healing or bonus damage?

Varus:

hmmm

Varus:

healing

Orrin:

Okie doke.

Varus:

these demons are made of paper

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Probably healing, yar.

server:

skippydippy joined #pwot_dnd.

skippydippy:

hahhaahaha

Orrin:

Orrin throws out his Aura of Vitality, shining with a faint radiant light in the stinking cloud.

server:

skippydippy

Igfig:

yes, skippydippy

Orrin:

And uses his move to keep himself between the Lord and the party.

Igfig:

right

Varus:

lord seems content to stay and wand at us

Igfig:

oh, question Varus

Igfig:

the ones you thunderwaved

Varus:

they were between us and the lord

Igfig:

which direction was that?

Igfig:

k

Orrin:

He's had one turn and he used it for an AOE, we'll see what he does.

Igfig:

so Arryn is still closer to the LoB than Orrin?

Varus:

id say so

Varus:

they get thrown 15 feet

Arryn:

maybe

Varus:

no

Varus:

10 feet

Arryn:

i went somewhere, if thats where

Igfig:

Arryn is right at the edge of the cloud, but still inside

Orrin:

If she is, I move to get between them.

Varus:

yeah arryn is still pretty close

Orrin:

And release my magic shield.

Igfig:

you'll provoke an OA if you do, Orrin

Varus:

id say stay closer orrin

Varus:

so they have to move past you and provoke oa to get to us

Orrin:

From a demon?

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

not that it matters much

Varus:

stay between arryn and us

Orrin:

I'd really like Arryn not to get lit the fuck up when those artificers go.

Varus:

arryn will be fine

Varus:

shes in our healing

Orrin:

I can have one person heal on my turn.

Varus:

and in the cloud

Orrin:

It's not like we just have limitless health.

Varus:

i know

Varus:

stay in the cloud so the artificers have disadvantage

Arryn:

why does Orrin get op attacked and not me?

Orrin:

Because you were attacking.

Arryn:

ah

Orrin:

Do I have to leave the cloud to get between them?

Varus:

yes

Igfig:

I suppose you should have too Arryn

Arryn:

smh

Igfig:

but I wasn't thinking about it

Varus:

no he wouldnt have

Igfig:

yeah, you would Orrin

Varus:

cause the ones i launched were beside each other

Orrin:

I'll stay in the cloud then.

Varus:

so arryn runs through a spot that demons are a square away from

Varus:

no oa

Igfig:

I mean, realistically, if I told Arryn she'd take an OA, she'd just tumble and avoid it anyway

Igfig:

so no biggie

Varus:

well whatever then

Arryn:

yeah tru

Varus:

next person then

Orrin:

Manes.

Igfig:

ok, before that

Igfig:

The LoB is switching out his one-use Stinking Cloud wand for his not-so-limited Wand of Magic Missile

Varus:

hohoho

Varus:

what a PUNK ASS BITCH

Igfig:

and firing at the vague outline of Arryn at the edge of the cloud

Varus:

arryn want me to shield that

Varus:

it negates magic missile

Igfig:

I'll give him a 50% miss chance because he's not entirely sure which square you're in

Igfig:

so

Arryn:

DODGE

Igfig:

1d2, 1 is a miss

Fortuna:

Igfig, is a miss: [1] = (1, 1)

Varus:

YOOOOO

Arryn:

hah

Varus:

igfig

Igfig:

oh wait, magic missile shoots three

Orrin:

I'll take that opportunity to swear my Vow of Enmity against him.

Igfig:

more likely then, he just sprays it across

Orrin:

So I have advantage on attack rolls against him until he dies.

Igfig:

so you get hit by one, and two miss you

Igfig:

so you take 1d4+1, Arryn

Igfig:

1d4+1

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d4+1: [1] = 2

Varus:

haaaah

Varus:

HAAAAAAH

Igfig:

aright Orrin

Varus:

the lord of blades is a lord of balls

Arryn:

haha

Varus:

i message that to him btw

Igfig:

you can just yell at this distance

Igfig:

Anyway, now the manes go

Varus:

yeah but message is funnier

Varus:

but fine

Igfig:

they're immune to poison so they don't worry about the cloud. Still obscured though

Orrin:

It is funnier if he just has these whispers in his ear the whole fight.

Igfig:

there were 10 alive

Varus:

yup

Varus:

and message is a minor

Orrin:

Misses an attack "her u were a fgt"

Varus:

so i can do it every turn

Varus:

just nagging at him

Igfig:

that is true, but--oh, it is?

Igfig:

in that case sure

Varus:

yessssss

Varus:

i message him that then

Varus:

"lord of blades, more like lord of balls"

Igfig:

hehe, aright

Varus:

i need to make sure not to actually use it when i need my minor though

Igfig:

10#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [1] = 3; 1d20+2: [16] = 18; 1d20+2: [3] = 5; 1d20+2: [9] = 11; 1d20+2: [4] = 6; 1d20+2: [9] = 11; 1d20+2: [10] = 12; 1d20+2: [20] = 22; 1d20+2: [14] = 16; 1d20+2: [16] = 18

Igfig:

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [19] = 21; 1d20+2: [6] = 8; 1d20+2: [3] = 5; 1d20+2: [11] = 13; 1d20+2: [20] = 22; 1d20+2: [19] = 21; 1d20+2: [2] = 4; 1d20+2: [9] = 11; 1d20+2: [5] = 7; 1d20+2: [5] = 7

frosty:

uh can i see anything because i am a walking 60 beacon of light?

Varus:

we killed 2 of them though

Varus:

shouldnt it be 8

Igfig:

uh, I guess it's 2 on each of you in the middle, btw

Varus:

one crits

Igfig:

three 11s

Varus:

wanna organize those attacks ig

Igfig:

they have disad because of the concealment, remember?

Varus:

right

Orrin:

Yeah.

Varus:

one crit fails then

Igfig:

so the only rolls that have a chance of hitting are the three 11s

Varus:

nope

Varus:

i got 12 ac

Varus:

THANKS TO MY ROBE +1

Blaze_Half-Elf:

One of those 11s is a 9 actually.

Varus:

FUCK YEAH ROBE

frosty:

but i am super bright the ones that come at me no disad??

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Wait no, read wrong.

Igfig:

nah it's ok Frosty

Orrin:

Gotta go to the bathroom, two seconds.

Igfig:

if it was dark that'd be another matter

Varus:

i need to pee too

Varus:

good opportunity

Igfig:

what's Blaze's AC?

Orrin:

If anything, a very bright light in the cloud would make it even harder to pinpoint you.

frosty:

aight

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So I take a hit then, it is exactly 11, cause I finally put that leather armor on.

Igfig:

3#1d5 one is blaze

Fortuna:

Igfig, one is blaze: [3] = 3; one is blaze: [5] = 5; one is blaze: [1] = 1

Igfig:

one hit then Blaze

Igfig:

2d4 damage

Fortuna:

Igfig, damage: [1, 4] = 5

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Kay.

Igfig:

and then it's Frosty's turn

Varus:

back

frosty:

so where is Orrin now???

Varus:

inbetween arryn and us

Igfig:

with two demons on him

frosty:

cause like i dont wanna explode yet this is good shit now

Varus:

frosty when are you planning on exploding

Varus:

or are you just gunna hang around orrin forever

frosty:

so i have two fists i run to him and punch them out

frosty:

well not yet

Varus:

i think hes too far to run to

frosty:

nope

Varus:

also thatd be OA central if yoy do that

frosty:

not for me

frosty:

yes

frosty:

i am cool with oas

Varus:

fine then

Varus:

since i know you wont stay and kill more demons if i ask

frosty:

so

server:

frosty windmill arm run to Orrin

Igfig:

Frosty could get to the LoB, yeah, but he'd have to make a Con save once he moved too far from Orrin

frosty:

^

Igfig:

oh, you meant to Orrin

Igfig:

ok

Varus:

if he explodes all over the lob

Varus:

thatd be awesome

Varus:

are you running to orrin or the lord

frosty:

Orrin you thick shit

Igfig:

okay

Varus:

just making sure

Varus:

since exploding is kinda something you want to make sure if its happening or not

Igfig:

getting there you will take a few OAs... 1d6 of them I'll say

Igfig:

1d6

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d6: [5] = 5

Igfig:

5#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [17] = 19; 1d20+2: [10] = 12; 1d20+2: [10] = 12; 1d20+2: [11] = 13; 1d20+2: [5] = 7

Igfig:

5#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [1] = 3; 1d20+2: [6] = 8; 1d20+2: [10] = 12; 1d20+2: [11] = 13; 1d20+2: [18] = 20

Fortuna:

frosty:

WHATUP

Varus:

so 8 demons left

Igfig:

oh wait sorry, you still have disad

Igfig:

I'm pretty sure

Igfig:

unless you did something to negate that

frosty:

yeah i thought so

Varus:

if he ran to orrin then yeah he does

Orrin:

I'd think the sheer number of them would negate that.

Igfig:

so roll another two for your second attack

Orrin:

If he just flails wildly he's almost certain to hit.

Varus:

well even still you can just fling your arm and hit somethign

frosty:

which is why i did two, but then you said

Igfig:

shrug

Orrin:

Aren't two of them physically ON him?

Igfig:

yeah, I screwed up

Igfig:

no, not physically on

Varus:

so

Varus:

roll disad orno

Igfig:

roll disad

Varus:

ok

frosty:

okay so that was one punch

frosty:

oh

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

so roll the second punch

Igfig:

two dice for the second punch

frosty:

1d20+9

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+9: [16] = 25

frosty:

1d20+9

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+9: [7] = 16

Varus:

i just noticed they changed the mibbit logo to some fuckin windows office word art shit

Blaze_Half-Elf:

the mirroring.

frosty:

SAME FUCKING THING

Igfig:

you know, you actually can't miss except on a 1

frosty:

hahah

Igfig:

anyway

Igfig:

the two you hit

Varus:

how much hp do these things have

Igfig:

you give them a good whack

Varus:

they died so easily

Igfig:

but they're resistant to fire

frosty:

i didnt include fire damage

Varus:

hes wearing his uh

frosty:

that was only punch

Igfig:

so they're still just barely alive and cackling

Varus:

shin pads or whatever

frosty:

fire is + 1d10

frosty:

which i should do

Igfig:

all your damage is fire damage drosty

Igfig:

the 1d10 is for if you enter their spaces

frosty:

oh

frosty:

so all the oas are fire

Igfig:

except they all missed

Igfig:

or you mean you just went through them

frosty:

still entered space tho? or miss entirely

Igfig:

uhh

Varus:

wut

Igfig:

1d20 ten or higher they entered your space

Fortuna:

Igfig, ten or higher they entered your space: [8] = 8

Igfig:

frosty:

Igfig:

One of the artificers moves up to 60' away

Igfig:

Varus:

Igfig:

Varus:

:(((((((((((((

Igfig:

which I think catches all of you except Arryn?

Varus:

Varus:

Varus:

Igfig:

Varus:

1d20+3

Fortuna:

Varus:

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Fortuna:

Blaze_Half-Elf, 1d20+4: [14] = 18

Orrin:

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [3] = 11

Varus:

Varus:

Arryn:

Fortuna:

Varus, for frosty: [10] = 22

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Igfig:

and you're out in the middle of the street

Varus:

oh

Varus:

EXCELLENT

Orrin:

What a scrub.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

And that is why you don't want your wizards running on a pre-programmed algorithm.

Varus:

guys do you want me to magic missile these demons or move and throw out cloud kill

Igfig:

The other one drops a Shatter on the same spot

Orrin:

Let's get rid of the demons as fast as we can.

Varus:

Igfig:

Con saves for the same people

Varus:

Blaze_Half-Elf:

If they are done, yar.

Varus:

ya

Varus:

they moved and attacked

Igfig:

Blaze turn then

Varus:

blaze lets take out these demons

Varus:

dont use the staff yet

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I don't really have anything good for demons I think.

Varus:

no good area attacks?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

All of them are fire damage.

Varus:

dang

Varus:

you should have been named frosty

Varus:

OH WAIT

Varus:

WE ALREADY GOT THAT

Varus:

B)

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Well, or spike growth, but all of my stuff has friendly fire potential.

Varus:

errmm

Varus:

dont then

Varus:

can you transform and swing your tail like a dinosaur in jurassic park

Blaze_Half-Elf:

The staff and the transform are both bonus actions, so I think I can only do one or the other if I want to attack as well.

Varus:

you could downgrade a move to a bonus?

Igfig:

nope

Varus:

dang

Igfig:

doesn't work that way

Varus:

whats the staff do

Igfig:

magic circle, and Bless

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Blesses us, which would be rather handy.

Varus:

hum

Varus:

whats bless do

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Magic Circle?

Varus:

+1d4?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yup, on attacks and saving throws.

Igfig:

Bless while the staff is standing, plus 1 minute

Varus:

hmmmm

Varus:

HMMMM

Igfig:

magic circle keeps fiends out

Igfig:

Varus:

hey are demons fiends

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Si.

Varus:

GO FOR IT

Igfig:

also they have disad against targets inside the circle

Varus:

hell ya

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So yeah, I go forwards towards Orrin and Frosty with Varus following me so hopefully Arryn will be in range for the staff as well then.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Slam it down in the middle of us.

Varus:

yeah we are

Igfig:

okay, you manage to push through the web

Varus:

we'll all be protected by it

Varus:

fuckthat web

Igfig:

and yeah, you're all close enough together

Orrin:

We

Igfig:

some OAs though

Igfig:

1d6 oas

Fortuna:

Igfig, oas: [2] = 2

Orrin:

re gonna have to close with the Lord eventually

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Alrighty.

Varus:

we will orrin

Igfig:

2#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [10] = 12; 1d20+2: [10] = 12

Igfig:

2#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [15] = 17; 1d20+2: [9] = 11

Varus:

once these demons are done for

Blaze_Half-Elf:

That's fine, the bless will keep going, yar.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Darn, both hit.

Igfig:

2#2d4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 2d4: [3, 3] = 6; 2d4: [2, 4] = 6

Blaze_Half-Elf:

This leather armor isn't working out so well.

Varus:

ow

Varus:

so blaze didnt transform

Blaze_Half-Elf:

And bloodied, which isn't great.

Varus:

how many demons are trapped inside the barrier

Varus:

and how many are outside

Igfig:

I think they're all outside

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So now the question is do I attack something or do I transform, yar.

Varus:

theyre outside

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I think I should probably attack something this turn.

Varus:

so you should attack

Varus:

then transform next

Varus:

i can shield you if you need it

Varus:

+4 ac for that attack and then until the start of my turn

Varus:

and nulllified magic missile

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Well that does bloody me actually.

Igfig:

what? you're bloodied already?

Igfig:

how can that be

frosty:

hehe fleshbag

Varus:

hes a squishy baby who relies onw ild form

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I only have 48 hit points.

Varus:

YOU HAVE MORE THAN ME

Igfig:

oh, I guess so

Blaze_Half-Elf:

9 and 12 and I forget I think it was 5 damage before that, yar.

Igfig:

all right

Igfig:

yeah

frosty:

fleshy fleshbag

Varus:

so do an atttack this turn

Varus:

ill shield if you have to

Varus:

and then wild form nexy

Igfig:

on the other hand, wild shape wpuld improve your AC

Varus:

yeah but plz kill one of these demons

Varus:

theres still 8 left

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yeah, I think I can survive another turn before I do that though.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Um, yar, I cast spike growth behind us back where all the demons are, where it is obscured from them by the cloud.

Varus:

that would hit like

Varus:

4??

Varus:

if we got 4 out from infront

Varus:

and theres 12 total

Blaze_Half-Elf:

All the ones that have to move to reach us.

Varus:

then 4 around the sides

Varus:

itll hit 4

Varus:

oh

Blaze_Half-Elf:

40 foot diameter circle, yar.

Varus:

dang

Blaze_Half-Elf:

It only hurts them as they move through it, they won't know it is there cause of the cloud obscuring their vision I think, so yar.

server:

Igfig quit.

Varus:

alright then

Varus:

oh

Varus:

1d20 fortuna you sitll here?

Fortuna:

Varus, fortuna you sitll here?: [15] = 15

Varus:

yup

server:

Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

And it does 2d4 damage for every 5 feet they travel.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Piercing.

Varus:

oooh

Varus:

thatll kill them before they reach us then

Varus:

if they move 2 squares to get to us

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So assuming they have to move to reach us, they take at least some damage, yar.

Igfig:

you could put all of them in the area, actually, but Frosty would still be inside

Varus:

frosty has liike 90 hp

Varus:

you should do it

Igfig:

or all but two of them, and not catch frosty

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Frosty can handle that, he'd be near the edge, yar, right Frosty?

Igfig:

also there are 9 left, three have been killed

Varus:

frosty waddaya say

Varus:

oh dang

Varus:

wheres frosty

Varus:

i say just do it

frosty:

what

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Taking a piss probably like he said, we'll just go ahead and do that then to catch all of them, he'll be fine and we can warn him about it. Heck, if he delays his turn till after mine he might have other traversal methods available.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Or I might stop concentrating on it and it'll go poof.

Varus:

is that your turn then?

frosty:

103 hp

Varus:

yeah frosty's fine

Varus:

if he falls unconcious he explodes though

Varus:

so we need to be careful still

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yup, blessed us all, cast spiky growth, ta das.

Varus:

alright

Varus:

THEN ITS VARUS TIME

Varus:

i can label those guys as officially #taken care of

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh, also also it is difficult terrain

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So yar.

Varus:

alright

Varus:

so orrin

Varus:

can i antigrav you

Varus:

and toss you at the enemies

Igfig:

Orrin is restrained at the moment

Varus:

oh

Varus:

hm

Varus:

how far is the lord and co

Igfig:

60'

Igfig:

also Varus, now that it's your turn

Igfig:

Con save

Varus:

fuck i forgot to save cloud kill on my thing again

Varus:

wait why

Igfig:

stinking cloud

Igfig:

you have to save each round

Varus:

1d20

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20: [2] = 2

Varus:

+4

Varus:

oof

Varus:

so i cant do anything this turn then

Varus:

i guess i dotn do anything then

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Toss the bless in too.

Varus:

2+4+1d4

Fortuna:

Varus, 2+4+1d4: [2] = 8

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I don't think it'll help really, but for numbers sake.

Varus:

1d

Varus:

1d4

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d4: [4] = 4

Varus:

ok

Varus:

8

server:

Igfig quit.

Varus:

still nothin

Varus:

aw

Varus:

i got a 4 after that

Varus:

that would have put me at 10

server:

Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.

Igfig:

still not enough though

Varus:

i just hold onto blaze more to move with him when he moves

Varus:

end turn

Varus:

:I

Igfig:

yup

Igfig:

oh, at the end of your turn the LoB uses his last legendary action to inspire one of the manes next to... Frosty, I guess, I think everyone else isn't adjacent to a demon

Igfig:

to attack

Igfig:

2#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [2] = 4; 1d20+2: [8] = 10

Igfig:

it misses

Varus:

haaaaaaaaaaaah

Varus:

what a WASTE

Igfig:

and now the LoB takes his turn

frosty:

fuck off with that weak shit

frosty:

^i shout that

Igfig:

he saw which of his magic missiles hit Arryn, so he'll do that again, but all at where she is

Igfig:

3d4+3

Fortuna:

Igfig, 3d4+3: [3, 4, 4] = 14

Varus:

arryn moved didnt she

Arryn:

how does dodge work?

Igfig:

don't think so, he cast his previous one after her turn

Igfig:

Arryn is bombarded with bolts of force

Varus:

but his init is before her

Orrin:

Yeah she moved.

Orrin:

Oh no.

Igfig:

he's legendary, he can take some actions out of turn

Orrin:

He changed wands mid-round.

Varus:

ok then

Varus:

arryn

Varus:

i can shield that

Igfig:

sure

Varus:

if you cant dodge

Igfig:

you can't dodge magic missiles

Arryn:

how does dodge work

Varus:

ok want me to shield?

Igfig:

not at all

Varus:

or

Varus:

you can use orrins heal aura thing

Varus:

or blaze could take that

Arryn:

but

Arryn:

how does dodge work

Varus:

i assume it adds disad for them

Varus:

it rlly doesnt matter rn ben

Orrin:

That has to be on my turn.

Igfig:

what do you mean how does dodge work

Igfig:

they make cars

Varus:

igfig plz

Igfig:

OH, uncanny dodge!

Arryn:

alright w/e

Arryn:

yes

Arryn:

varus you said shield?

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

i can do it

Igfig:

it only applies to actual attacks

Varus:

how much hp will you have left if you take that damage

Igfig:

this is just autodamage

Varus:

arryn

Varus:

igfig does lob do anything else

Varus:

while we wait for ben to do whatever he is doing

Arryn:

uh it was 14?

Varus:

yes

Arryn:

54

Varus:

ok youll be fine

Varus:

i wont shield that

Igfig:

That's all he does actually, he's less effective at range

Varus:

ok

Arryn:

:(

Varus:

srry bae

Varus:

im saving the shields for when we get in melee range with the lord

Igfig:

so who's next

Varus:

i cant remember the order

Varus:

check the map

Igfig:

Arryn!

Igfig:

Arryn turn

Varus:

i think we should start charging the lord and the artificers

Orrin:

Arryn is gone forever.

Varus:

since the demons will be taken care of by spike trap

Arryn:

am i still wrist deep in demon

Varus:

no

Arryn:

aight lesseee

Varus:

ben are you doing something else cause you seem super distracted from the game

Arryn:

so all demons dead you said?

Varus:

no

Varus:

they arent DEAD

Varus:

but theres a trap that does 2d4 every square between us and them

Varus:

so theyre fucked

Arryn:

i am right by one tho

Varus:

didnt frosty kill that one

frosty:

no

Varus:

then finish that one off i guess

Arryn:

but a missile mightve hit it idk

Varus:

well

Varus:

i could use magic missile on my turn

Igfig:

I think you killed the ones you were next to

Igfig:

but ok

Varus:

and just divert one at that guy

Varus:

well if ig says hes dead

Arryn:

i did 5 damage to the second with the sord

Igfig:

yeah, but it'd already taken damage

Igfig:

so it died

Arryn:

oh

Arryn:

ok

Varus:

hmmmm

Varus:

my turns gone so im gunna run to the caf before it closes

Varus:

i wont be gone long

Varus:

if my turn comes just delay me

Igfig:

oh wait, shit

Igfig:

Arryn, make a COn save

Igfig:

you're still in the cloud

Arryn:

1d20+2+4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+2+4: [10] = 16

Arryn:

ok

Igfig:

don't forget the +1d4 bonus from the bless

Igfig:

but yeah you're ok

Arryn:

16+1d4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 16+1d4: [2] = 18

Igfig:

what're you doing then

Arryn:

i jump outta the cloud and shoot at an artificer

Igfig:

all right

Igfig:

you could actually reach one by running if you preferred

Arryn:

can i roll for sweet cloud jump

Arryn:

okay

Igfig:

as a rogue, you can run and attack in the same round

Igfig:

sure

Arryn:

1d20+12 sweet jump

Fortuna:

Arryn, sweet jump: [1] = 13

server:

Arryn falls

Igfig:

not so sweet

Igfig:

uh, your bonus is still so good that that hardly feels like a critical fail

Igfig:

but yeah, maybe your advance is halted

server:

Arryn trips

Igfig:

you're back on your feet immediately, but I don't think you could make it all the way there now

Arryn:

alright i'll just shoot then

Igfig:

so you would have to make a ranged attack

server:

Arryn trips, stumbles a bit, out of the cloud, shoot

Arryn:

1d20+8 shot

Fortuna:

Arryn, shot: [10] = 18

Igfig:

that's a hit!

Arryn:

1d6+6 arrow

Fortuna:

Arryn, arrow: [5] = 11

Igfig:

I'll just tell you they have an AC of 14, so you can know immediately in the future whether you hit or not

Igfig:

aright, not bad

Igfig:

arrow buried in the one's chest

Igfig:

Orrin turn, or anything else you want to do?

Arryn:

and the rest of my move is various barrel rolls to avoid straight shot

Orrin:

Is restrain half move or no move?

Igfig:

no move

Igfig:

also make a Con save

Orrin:

1d20+7+1d4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+7+1d4: [11, 4] = 22

frosty:

i will carry you

Varus:

i could still move even while hacking up a lung right

Igfig:

it's a Str check to disentangle yourself

Igfig:

yeah, somehow you were able to avoid the stickier of the strands

Orrin:

1d20+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+4: [9] = 13

Igfig:

that is in fact enough to get out

Orrin:

Sweet.

Igfig:

that is your action though

Orrin:

Are we charging?

Varus:

YES WE ARE

Orrin:

Righto. I go far enough to keep up with Arryn and Varus, then.

Varus:

well im just wish blaze

Varus:

im delaying my move

Igfig:

you catch up to Arryn though

Arryn:

i stumbled so not too far

Orrin:

Just arryn then.

Varus:

yeah you really arent that far

Igfig:

are you using that bonus action?

Varus:

you could get right to them

Orrin:

I get a bonus action?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

You can heal people for 2d6 with a bonus action from that Aura of Vitality thing.

Varus:

yeah heal blaze

Orrin:

Oh yeah.

Arryn:

Varus:

Igfig:

my internet was continually shitting itself

Igfig:

so I went down to put my laundry in the dryer whiel I waited for it to sort itself out

Igfig:

I am back for real now

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Right, so Orrin decided he healed me before moving forwards, yar, for how much was it? I hadn't done it yet.

Igfig:

does anybody have a new song? The last one got old, I stopped it

Varus:

9

Varus:

yes i do!

Varus:

oh no i dont

Varus:

i closed it

Orrin:

I rolled a 9 on my RL dice while Fortuna was shitting, and then she rolled a 6 when she got back.

Igfig:

Varus:

Igfig:

the 9 let's say

Varus:

Varus:

Igfig:

oh boy

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Nah after Orrin is the Manes.

frosty:

same thing

Igfig:

well, two of them are still adjacent to Frosty, I believe

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh, I thought he was referring to the artificers as fartificers again.

frosty:

1

frosty:

1 is

Igfig:

the one that was next to Orrin before has burned to death

frosty:

OH HANG ON

frosty:

starting its turn w/ me

frosty:

1d10 fire

Fortuna:

frosty, fire: [7] = 7

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

yes, it died

Varus:

no orrin i decided the little monsters are bigger farts

Igfig:

I figured it'd die without needing to roll

frosty:

die die die

Igfig:

the rest advance toward... Frosty, I guess

Igfig:

two closest only have to go 5ft

Igfig:

2d4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 2d4: [4, 2] = 6

frosty:

die die die die

Varus:

i think they have 8

Igfig:

hurt but not dead

Igfig:

two more go 10

Igfig:

so that, plus:

Igfig:

2d4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 2d4: [4, 2] = 6

Igfig:

and they and all the ones after them die too

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yays.

Igfig:

scraping themselves down to nothing on your spike stones

frosty:

stupid fuckers

Igfig:

the two that made it:

Igfig:

2#1d20+2, 1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2, 1d20+2: [10, 9] = (12, 11); 1d20+2, 1d20+2: [12, 18] = (14, 20)

Igfig:

oh hey, that worked nicely there

Igfig:

I should do that from now on for disad

frosty:

the 20 hits

Igfig:

11 and 14 both miss

frosty:

ah

Igfig:

so I guess they're dead

frosty:

loooooooosers

Igfig:

from catching on fire

Igfig:

but would you like to roll the damage to make sure?

Igfig:

Oh wait

Igfig:

sorry, that's only on a hit

Igfig:

never mind they're still alive

frosty:

yes on contact

Igfig:

The Lord of Blades takes this opportunity to launch another barrage of magic missiles, this time at Orrin (who is harder to hit with normal weapons)

Igfig:

3d4+3 damage on Orrin

Fortuna:

Igfig, damage on Orrin: [2, 2, 1] = 8

Orrin:

Jerk.

frosty:

okay so can i backhand these demons to death now

server:

Igfig quit.

server:

Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.

frosty:

:/

Igfig:

frosty:

1d20+8 backhand these demons to death

Fortuna:

frosty, backhand these demons to death: [5] = 13

Igfig:

frosty:

1d20+8 disad for the first

Fortuna:

frosty, disad for the first: [12] = 20

frosty:

Fortuna:

frosty, the second: [8] = 16; the second: [19] = 27

frosty:

SLAPPED

Igfig:

both hits, and you're incapable of not killing them I think

frosty:

2#2d6+5

Fortuna:

frosty, 2d6+5: [3, 2] = 10; 2d6+5: [5, 6] = 16

Igfig:

indeed

Igfig:

they are both slapped clear back to Khybr

frosty:

SLAPPED DEMONS TO DEATH, CHECK

Igfig:

*Khber

Igfig:

*Khyber

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Right, so I can stop concentrating on that on my turn then, if you don't move you won't take any damage.

frosty:

then /me runs out with the others

Igfig:

if you do it'll only be like 1d4 damage in any case

server:

frosty says fuck your damage

frosty:

1d4

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d4: [1] = 1

Igfig:

yeah, so

Igfig:

okay

Varus:

guys i just played a really great match as megaman

Varus:

just thought you should know

Igfig:

artificers up next?

Varus:

yup

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yup, and what game?

Varus:

the shitaficers

Varus:

super smash bros

Igfig:

Question: are Orrin and Arryn adjacent to each other?

frosty:

"OH HEY WANDMEN REMEMBER WHEN I TOLD YOU ID BLOW UP AND THEN I DID THAT WAS FUN LETS TO IT AGAIN"

Orrin:

I doubt it.

Orrin:

I mean I guess I'm wherever you put me, but I'm trying to be the first one to the LoB.

Arryn:

yeah Orrin wouldnt make that mistake i think

Arryn:

being too close when they doing area attacks

Igfig:

I remember you were catching up to her, but I guess you don't have to be adjacent

Igfig:

then I suppose

frosty:

i am p close to Orrin tho, like not dead on but close

Varus:

guys

Varus:

maybe dont go right up to him

Varus:

cause

Varus:

somethins coming on this turn

Blaze_Half-Elf:

(It's a certain 5th level spell Varus is fond of)

Varus:

(actually it isnt)

frosty:

thunderboom?

Varus:

(close though)

Varus:

its

Igfig:

okay, one of them casts Grease under Orrin

Varus:

A LEVEL 5 THUNDER

Varus:

NO ITS NOT THATD BE STUPID

Igfig:

make a Dex save Orrin

Orrin:

1d20+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+4: [13] = 17

Igfig:

you remain standing, congrats

Orrin:

Igfig:

Orrin:

Surf into battle?

Igfig:

no speed boost though

Orrin:

Orrin surfs into battle.

Igfig:

it's just a 10 ft. square

Igfig:

the other one casts Scorching Ray at Arryn

Orrin:

http://ia.media-imdb.com/images/M/MV5BNjUxMDAyMzUyNV5BMl5BanBnXkFtZTcwNDE4MTMyMQ@@._V1_SY317_CR2,0,214,317_AL_.jpg

Arryn:

yo

Orrin:

It looks like that.

Igfig:

except it's not scorching... they seem to have prepared a variant called Freezing Ray instead

Igfig:

that deals cold damage

Orrin:

http://iv1.lisimg.com/image/1867262/600full-chairman-of-the-board-poster.jpg

Orrin:

Since the first one didn't work.

frosty:

dicks

Igfig:

actually yeah, Frosty's visible now isn't he? Should cast it at Frosty instead

Igfig:

Frosty has a slightly lower AC

frosty:

hey now you said Arryn

Arryn:

Igfig:

3#1d20+4

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+4: [15] = 19; 1d20+4: [13] = 17; 1d20+4: [14] = 18

Igfig:

6d6 cold damage

Fortuna:

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Igfig:

Igfig:

which is lucky

Varus:

Varus:

Varus:

if you ask me to

Igfig:

uh Varus, shield only affects yourself

Varus:

shhhhhhhhhh

frosty:

Igfig:

frosty:

fucking try

Varus:

i have it as

Varus:

+4 and affects allies as a reaction

Igfig:

Varus:

Varus:

ill change it

Varus:

ok

Varus:

so blaze's trn?

Igfig:

Indeed it is

Varus:

NOPE

Igfig:

oh actually wait

Varus:

?

frosty:

??

Arryn:

???

Igfig:

LoB uses his second legendary action to let one of the artificers make a cantrip attack as a reaction

Blaze_Half-Elf:

????

Varus:

i thought you said that last one was his last

Igfig:

don't think so

Varus:

you def did

Blaze_Half-Elf:

That last one was his first though, why would he only have one?

Varus:

to get the lil fart to attack

Igfig:

he gets three per turn, and MM takes two

Igfig:

Igfig:

Varus:

now that everyones gone ill move out of the cloud

Igfig:

you hop on pop

Varus:

cause its safe

Varus:

for the shy varus to come out of its den

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Right, so I stop concentrating on the spike thing and lift up the staff then, yar.

Varus:

if it sees its shadow and flees that means there is another month of ASS KICKING

Varus:

so i moved up to the others

Arryn:

dont pull your dagger again that was lame

Varus:

??

Arryn:

against the juggernaut

Varus:

????????????

Arryn:

nm

Varus:

oook

Blaze_Half-Elf:

And should I cast a spell again and then transform or should I transform and do an attack... if I can reach, hmmm...

Arryn:

you did something lame

Blaze_Half-Elf:

How far away are the Lord of Blades and the artificers?

Varus:

OH YEAH I REMEMBER

Varus:

that was great

Varus:

60 feet i thought

Igfig:

they're 60 feet from the edge of the cloud roughly

Varus:

turn into a dinosaur and slam into them

Arryn:

i guess it makes sense you wouldnt remember cause of all the lame things youve done they all blur

Igfig:

actually from the edge I guess 50

Varus:

remember to heat metal the lord

Varus:

exactly ben

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Darn, I think they are just 5 feet out of reach then. Oh maybe they are in range then, yar.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So yeah, hey guys.

Varus:

yaaaas?

Varus:

YAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSS

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Did you know Ankylosaurus are Huge in this game?

frosty:

can you cast spells as a animal

Varus:

wait

Varus:

huge??

Varus:

no thats level 18 ben

Varus:

also wow

Varus:

so you take up

Varus:

most of the street

Varus:

well no

Varus:

but youre 16x16 right

Igfig:

15 ft across

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

15x15, yar.

Varus:

oh ok

frosty:

oh hey i can push you!

Varus:

thatd be rad

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And I go stompy charging ahead, and my trail has a reach of 10 feet, so I think I can hit someone this turn then? Speed of 30, my space taken is longer, yar.

Varus:

ben didnt get to do much pushing this capaign u_u

Arryn:

where is the goddam king army

Varus:

really far back

Varus:

rounds are roughly 6 seconds

Varus:

to march an army here

frosty:

i pushed so much

Varus:

would take an hour

Igfig:

yeah, you got +10 size, and then +10 reach, and moved 30

frosty:

i pushed the lob

Igfig:

that is just enough

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also as per usual, flame motifs and stuff, and the big clubby tail end is leaving a trail of those little embers that float up when you push a fire around.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Sweet.

Varus:

neato

Igfig:

I guess you're like doing a spinning kick

frosty:

i pushed the giant roboman

Igfig:

except you're an ankylosaurus

Igfig:

nice

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar, it is a big brutal tail swing.

frosty:

i pushed a fucking giant fireball

Varus:

and yeah ben that was rad

Varus:

yup

Varus:

what else

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

On... I think one of the artificers.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Cause spellcasters are nasty.

Igfig:

running up and then planting your front legs and using the momentum to swing your tail into the artificer

frosty:

i pushed the colonal the first time

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d20+7

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, 1d20+7: [11] = 18

Varus:

that is true!

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

+1d4 actually too.

Igfig:

The one that Arryn shot, or the other one?

Varus:

1d4

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d4: [3] = 3

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Almost forgot my own bless.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Probably the one that she shot, yar.

Orrin:

Yeah Ben is the only reason we survived the fight with the LoB.

Varus:

hell yeah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

So 21 then, thanks Varus.

Varus:

i remember he took so much damage

Varus:

like 90

Igfig:

nice

Varus:

90 whole damage

Igfig:

yeah, that was a crazy time

Orrin:

Well, it was more that he resisted everything.

Varus:

yeah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

4d6+4 and make a strength saving throw.

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, and make a strength saving throw.: [6, 3, 4, 6] = 23

Varus:

it was great

Orrin:

I can take 90 damage, but I would've taken it twice as fast.

Varus:

luv u ben

Igfig:

ben is really hard to kill

frosty:

u no it

Igfig:

1d20 Str save

Fortuna:

Igfig, Str save: [19] = 19

Arryn:

aww thanks guys

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Darn, he made the save.

Varus:

hey blaze

Varus:

how high up is your head

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Oh right, forgot the fire damage.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d4

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, 1d4: [3] = 3

Igfig:

that artificer is very close to dead though

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And 3 fire damage.

Igfig:

oh wait, they're dead

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And I'll be honest I'm not sure how big I am height wise.

Igfig:

yeah, just dead

Igfig:

smashed flat

Varus:

igfig how high is blaze's head

Igfig:

uh

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Like, I think you guys can fit under me, but if you jumped up you could probably grab on.

Arryn:

8

Igfig:

probably about head height?

Varus:

oh really?

Igfig:

or a bit lower

Varus:

i figured he was more like a trex

Varus:

basically i wanted to know if hed be above cloudkill

Varus:

which is 20 feet high

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Ankylosauruses are nothing like a t-rex, yar.

Varus:

more like ankelsaures

frosty:

he is 15x15

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

My head would be in the right height, but!

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

My club has reach, I'm not adjacent.

Igfig:

Varus:

Igfig:

Orrin:

I haven't seen it since I was probably 10, but I REMEMBER HIS NAME.

Varus:

( - ) <----- varus

Arryn:

spawn it in his face

Varus:

so he's the dash

Varus:

and it moves 10 feet every turn

Orrin:

Make it come out of his butt.

Varus:

Varus:

aka 4 turns

Varus:

frosty:

Varus:

CON SAVE

Orrin:

Make it come out of MY butt.

Arryn:

frosty:

Arryn we are like the same person

Igfig:

uh, if you cast it like that you'll probably hit yourself

Arryn:

<3

Varus:

nope

Varus:

I have sculpt spell

Igfig:

because it's 40 ft. diameter

Igfig:

ah, heh

Varus:

level+1 creatures to succeed

Varus:

so we're all save

Varus:

but fuck the lord and the fartifacer

Igfig:

okay

Varus:

so both of them roll con

Igfig:

1d20+7 LoB Con save

Fortuna:

Igfig, LoB Con save: [16] = 23

Varus:

dang

Igfig:

1d20+2 artificer Con

Fortuna:

Igfig, artificer Con: [12] = 14

Varus:

2d6 lord damage turn 1

Fortuna:

Varus, lord damage turn 1: [2, 1] = 3

Varus:

5d6 artificer damage turn 1

Fortuna:

Varus, artificer damage turn 1: [6, 4, 2, 3, 2] = 17

Igfig:

eh?

Igfig:

dude

Varus:

he takes half if he succeeds

Igfig:

it's 5d8

Igfig:

and you just halve the total

Varus:

oh

Varus:

ok

Varus:

2#5d8 lord and fart

Fortuna:

Varus, lord and fart: [5, 1, 1, 7, 8] = 22; lord and fart: [4, 1, 4, 2, 2] = 13

Orrin:

Terrible.

Orrin:

Just terrible.

Varus:

11 on the lord

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

You only roll once too.

Varus:

and 13 on the artificer

Igfig:

you only have to roll once

Varus:

GOD

Igfig:

so 22 and 11

Orrin:

Yeah you just roll and that's what they all take.

Varus:

okay then

Orrin:

Get your shit together, Waffle.

frosty:

dammit waffle

Varus:

the last time i used cloudkill, theonly time, was when everything was multipled by 5 million

Igfig:

The artificer is bloodied

Arryn:

smdh

Varus:

i didnt pay attention to the numbers

Orrin:

Oh yeah I forgot about that. It was pretty rad, though.

Varus:

IT WAS

Varus:

and thats my turn

Varus:

no wait

Varus:

i message the lord

Igfig:

LoB hardly cares though

Orrin:

that whole battle was pretty boss.

Arryn:

your welcome

Varus:

"thats what we all smell when we're around you, take a shower plz"

Orrin:

I challenged a robot to a rock-off and then killed him with my bare hands.

Igfig:

haha

Varus:

and now its his turn actually

Igfig:

and it's the LoB's turn

Igfig:

uh, hmm

Orrin:

Orrin yells at him "U smel nerd"

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

So many options.

frosty:

"LOL LORD OF BLAZE FARTED"

Igfig:

how are you all arranged? Who's in front

Varus:

blaze

Orrin:

I believe Blaze is now the closest.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I think I'm just kinda, above everyone, yar.

Varus:

then orrin and arryn are back a bit

Orrin:

With me behind him and Arryn behidn me.

Varus:

and im between blaze and the others

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I got within a 10 foot reach of the artificer I flattened.

frosty:

cause im gonna burn him see

frosty:

lord of blaze

Varus:

420

Orrin:

They call me the Lord of Blaze cuz my kush so doooope

frosty:

i am close to Orrin somewhere

Varus:

i think youre basically just with orrin

Varus:

like beside him

Igfig:

okay, hmm

frosty:

beside sure

Varus:

LORD BLAZE VARUS OTHERS

Varus:

basically that

Igfig:

so you sculpted your spell to avoid all the party, right? So there are some holes in the cloud

Varus:

it fills gaps

Orrin:

I think he just auto-passed us.

Varus:

cloudkill specifically

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

Because he can choose people to save.

Varus:

the cloud went around them

Igfig:

and the holes presumably drift at the same rate as the rest of the cloud, right?

Varus:

nope

Varus:

cloudkill fills all holes

Varus:

so it went completely around them

Orrin:

They wouldn't if we were moving in them.

Varus:

like a safety buble

frosty:

i dont breath i dont need saving

Varus:

then reconverged

Varus:

it effects people who dont have to breath too ben'

Orrin:

I think we ruled it has a corrosive effect as well, Frosty.

Varus:

<>

Varus:

it did that ig

Orrin:

Else it wouldn't hurt the Lord.

Varus:

around us

frosty:

i dont corrode either

Varus:

you still take damage

Varus:

it specifically says

Orrin:

You can still take acid damage, so for the purposes of the game you corrode.

Igfig:

Yeah, Varus researched a version that deals acid instead of poison

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

In the text it says as cloudkill moves it fills in all gaps and spaces, like flowing around corners are going down grates.

Varus:

exactly

frosty:

fire +acid = cool fire colors

frosty:

bring it

Varus:

its gas, gas fills the space of its container

Orrin:

So as we run through it it would just have holes flowing through it.

Varus:

Creatures are affected even if they hold their breath or don’t need to breathe.

Varus:

" "

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

itd be really badass

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yeah, it is magic that he is exempting us from with his magic, yar.

Orrin:

I mean that's true, but it IS magical gas you created out of thin air so it can't be totally assumed it behaves normally. In this case it will, but "well duh" is kind of out the window when it comes to shooting magic flying acid at robots.

Varus:

i guess yeah

Varus:

but it does fill holes and gaps and stuff

Varus:

so point is, itd reconverge

frosty:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqgFMQlKLg8

Varus:

like that

frosty:

that should happen

Orrin:

Basically, it looks like that scene in Jurassic Park 2 where the raptors are chasing them in that field.

frosty:

40 seconds i

Igfig:

well we should figure out whether this is a matter of there being holes in the cloud where the other people are, or if they just somehow aren't affected

Varus:

it says right in the spell

Varus:

i used sculpt spell to make it miss them

Varus:

and then it reconvenes once it passes them

Igfig:

see, I kinda want the LoB to try and jump onto Blaze to avoid the cloud

Orrin:

That would totally work.

Igfig:

so the question is, will that work or not

Varus:

he can do that yeah

Igfig:

aright, awesome

Varus:

because the cloud is currently avoiding blaze

Varus:

that IS awesome

Igfig:

in that case

Varus:

the MURDEROUD ROBOT GENERAL IS RIDING A DINOSAUR

Orrin:

Blaze now just roll over and smush him.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I knew someone was going to try and use me a platform, I was just hoping it'd be party members.

Orrin:

Oh man.

Igfig:

1d20+8 athletics to jump onto Blaze

Fortuna:

Igfig, athletics to jump onto Blaze: [2] = 10

Orrin:

I am gonna fight this motherfucker on the back of a charging dinosaur.

Orrin:

What a lil bitch.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

(Oh snap)

Igfig:

too bad, I really want to do this

Igfig:

crap, what are his aspects again

Orrin:

Honestly, I think you've let us get away with enough shit this campaign to just say he does it.

Arryn:

"dumb dick"

Arryn:

^aspect

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Maybe you can do it, but I get an attack of opportunity?

Orrin:

Weakness is an abomination

Orrin:

Some other stuff.

Orrin:

Oooh I like that.

Varus:

blaze is a good idea

Orrin:

Blaze has a chance to knock him off course with a tail whip.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

In which case I might just smack him down, but yar.

Varus:

theres plenty of spikes and stuff to grab onto as well

Igfig:

oh yeah, weakness is an abomination

Igfig:

thank you

Varus:

we are helping the lord succeed

Varus:

ig i say advantage from the spikes

Varus:

easy climbing

Orrin:

Yeah but in a really awesome way.

Igfig:

he is not going to be so weak that he can't jump onto a little old dinosaur

Igfig:

1d20+8 athletics

Fortuna:

Igfig, athletics: [11] = 19

Igfig:

there we go

Varus:

that works

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Nah, he is jumping right now though I think, so if anything spikes would be not so good then.

Varus:

and now he has 1 fate point if any left

Varus:

since we condemned him before

Orrin:

On my turn, can blaze pop me up with his tail so I fly up all Jack-Sparrow-esque?

Varus:

compelled*

Igfig:

except he totally accepted your compel

Orrin:

Yeah he gets a point for accepting the compel.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar, he came charging right for us as fast as he could.

Igfig:

I think?

Igfig:

yeah

Orrin:

Yeah he did.

Orrin:

But seriously. Jack Sparrow dinosaur tail-leap.

Igfig:

he moved toward you as fast as he possibly could

Igfig:

in theory, he should have gotten an extra FP for that

Igfig:

except I don't think it works that way for NPCs

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

But I forget if you can have more then your max anyways.

Igfig:

right

Igfig:

you can, yes

Igfig:

he hops up on your back

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Nifty news, yar, oh right, that's just the refresh/decay rate.

Orrin:

You can have more than your max or I can ride a dinosaur?

Igfig:

both

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

All the above?

Orrin:

Baller.

frosty:

boss fight on a dinosaur

Igfig:

which, first of all, deals you 1d8 damage just for being in sustained physical contact with a guy covered in swords

Orrin:

He has a turtle shell.

Orrin:

I think he'd be fine.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Though I kinda want to shake him off, I'd finally get to use that Untamed, Unbound aspect for something.

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

HELL YEAH

Varus:

throw him back into the cloud

Varus:

my other option is reforging the cloud into you

Varus:

which ill absolutely do

Varus:

so figure something out before then

Orrin:

I can also go up there and knock him off, unless you really want the shaking.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'm not sure if you can do that with it but I suppose you have fate points.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

We'll see how it goes, yar.

Orrin:

Well, I'm up next so I kinda gotta decide now.

Orrin:

I don't think I'm really needed on the fartfacer, though.

Arryn:

roll over on him

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'll assist you to try and get you on board on your turn, if it doesn't work then other stuff.

Igfig:

and then he thrusts his triple blade between two of your plates, as deep as he can go

Varus:

OUCH

Varus:

OK

Varus:

someone fuck this guy up

Arryn:

roll over

Igfig:

2#1d20+8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+8: [5] = 13; 1d20+8: [20] = 28

Varus:

OH NOOOO

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

One crit, other is a miss.

Igfig:

oh noo

Igfig:

that

Igfig:

is

Igfig:

lessee

Igfig:

4d8+4+2d6

Fortuna:

Igfig, 4d8+4+2d6: [2, 1, 8, 5, 2, 5] = 27

Orrin:

You've gotta get some serious hp buff from turning into a 15-foot-tall dinosaur though, right?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Oh yeah.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Ankylosaurus comes with 68 hp.

Arryn:

now roll over on him

Orrin:

It is very far from Blaze's turn.

Igfig:

and that was his turn

Igfig:

who's next?

Orrin:

Arryn, actually, I forgot about her.

Orrin:

Arryn go kill that fartface.

Arryn:

yeah i go kill that fartface

Arryn:

hmmm are axes good on warforge

Igfig:

they're decent

Orrin:

You'd think they'd be better than swords.

Orrin:

Slashing is certainly not going to do much.

Arryn:

hammers?

Orrin:

I've had good luck with bludgeoning.

Arryn:

ok

Varus:

yell yeah

Varus:

crumple his skull

Igfig:

he's covered in adamantine armour, so either way really

Arryn:

hammer!

Igfig:

axe or hammer could both work

Arryn:

its a hammer

Orrin:

Are axes piercing or bludgeoning?

Igfig:

right!

Igfig:

axes are slashing too actually

Orrin:

That seems wrong.

Igfig:

they didn't want to differentiate slicing and hacking

Orrin:

I mean it's not a spear, but it's much more like that in effect than like... a cutlass.

Arryn:

HAMMER IT IS

Orrin:

I guess they do have to limit it to SOMETHING.

Arryn:

1d20+8 hammer

Fortuna:

Arryn, hammer: [1] = 9

Igfig:

oh no

Orrin:

Wump wump.

Arryn:

i drop the hammer

Igfig:

You swing at him

Orrin:

Fate point it.

Orrin:

It's your Dynamic Weapon.

Igfig:

and he just reaches up and stops your hammer with his hand

Arryn:

it is!

Igfig:

just graps its head

Orrin:

Oh man you could RP that in a super awesome way now, too.

Arryn:

I AM THE BEARER OF THE DYNAMIC BLADE

Arryn:

"THATS MY SWORD"

Igfig:

THAT IS A HAMMER NOT A SWORD

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also wait, I think Igfig thinks she is going for Lord of Blades but I think she is going for the artficier unless artificers have adamantine armour too.

Orrin:

That's my fuckin' hammer.

Igfig:

oh shit

Igfig:

the artificer

Orrin:

Oh yeah he's after the fartface Ig.

Orrin:

But it is still a 1.

Arryn:

yeah

Igfig:

yeah I misread that

Orrin:

But this fate point is gonna be GREAT

Orrin:

BEN.

Orrin:

BEN DO A THING.

Orrin:

RP IT.

Arryn:

ok

Varus:

JUST KILL THE ARTIFICIER

Arryn:

i am gonna do i thing

Varus:

ok

Varus:

do something cool

Varus:

turn it into a spear to imbed it in his hand

Igfig:

okay, so the artificer actually catches it on a shield of some sort I guess

Varus:

and use it as a pole vault over him

Varus:

to kick him off the dino

Orrin:

I was more thinking have it shift around his hand and reform beyond it.

Orrin:

And just whack him in the face.

Arryn:

can i do another attack then fate point the first

Orrin:

He IS still a robot Ig, I 'd think he could open-palm block a 1.

Arryn:

or does it not work like that

Igfig:

sure, no problem Arryn

Arryn:

yeah he can grab it that works

Igfig:

and nah, the artificers aren't that tough

Arryn:

aw

Orrin:

It's a 1!

Igfig:

or strong

Arryn:

ok need to rethink thing

Igfig:

I was trying to reinforce how crazy strong the LoB is

Orrin:

Ahhh.

Igfig:

if a random artificer can do that, it diminishes the effect

Arryn:

ok

server:

Arryn sigh

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Maybe like a two armed block then?

Orrin:

Or he just dodges a little bit.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

One of those panic not in the face things.

Orrin:

Arryn can still RP making the haft of the hammer or something.

Igfig:

it's a hammer, how about you swing past him and get it stuck in the earth?

Arryn:

so is it caught on the shield or just deflected

Orrin:

making the haft longer*

Arryn:

oh ok!

Arryn:

hmm

Arryn:

but that would be using my fate point against the earth

Arryn:

unless someone is trying to grab it or take it doesnt seem right

Arryn:

oh well

Orrin:

Just stab him then.

Orrin:

A missed attack en't the end of the world.

Igfig:

well, it's like, you just change its shape so it's not stuck any more, slashing up out of the hole and taking the artificer by surprise

Arryn:

1d20+8 SORD

Fortuna:

Arryn, SORD: [14] = 22

Igfig:

but either way

Orrin:

Orrin survived missing like 25.

Igfig:

that is definitely a hit

Arryn:

ok!

Igfig:

alas, no advantage at the moment

Arryn:

so can i push him down using a thing?

Igfig:

so no sneak attack

Igfig:

yes, that you can definitely do

Arryn:

trip attack

Arryn:

ok

Igfig:

ah, I see why you wanted to wait to reroll

Arryn:

so i push him over the now earthstuck hammer

Igfig:

righto

Igfig:

how much damage?

Arryn:

1d6+1d8

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d6+1d8: [6, 6] = 12

Orrin:

AAAY

Igfig:

nice, nice

Arryn:

then wrench out the hammer and smash him

Igfig:

word up

Arryn:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+8: [17] = 25

Arryn:

SMASH

Igfig:

and you have advantage

Orrin:

GOT IM

Orrin:

Roll again

Orrin:

Get the crit

Arryn:

1d20+8 advantage

Fortuna:

Arryn, advantage: [1] = 9

Arryn:

hahahahaha

Orrin:

Hahahaha.

Varus:

HAHA

Orrin:

Not that crit.

Igfig:

hehe

Arryn:

@%

Arryn:

ok 25

Igfig:

frosty stole all of arryn's luck

Arryn:

and 1d8+4

Arryn:

1d8+4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d8+4: [3] = 7

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I think you get sneak attack damage now actually, right?

frosty:

heheh i am the best

Igfig:

yep

Orrin:

Yeah.

Arryn:

then for having the audacity to be missed so badly, can my sneak attack be a kicking while hes down

Arryn:

like a "and take that, hmph"

Orrin:

The dynamic blade turns into a boot.

Orrin:

And you kick him with it.

Arryn:

yes

Arryn:

that is it

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Just like, the floppiest leather boot and you slap it across his face.

Arryn:

wait no

Igfig:

yes it definitely can be

Igfig:

oh?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar, what I said is more humorous then effective.

Arryn:

a gis for boot weapon found this

Orrin:

the real damage would be done to his pride.

Arryn:

https://www.monkeydepot.com/v/vspfiles/photos/photoreviews/2610/snake_eyes_10.jpg

Varus:

those are not boots

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

That, is not something I ever thought of as a thing that exists.

Arryn:

i turn it into a fist and weapon punch him

Varus:

well a fist is just 1d4

Varus:

unarmed

Igfig:

1, actually

Varus:

its still a weapon

Arryn:

it is a giant metal fist tho

Orrin:

http://33.media.tumblr.com/b6b3a906ae3bb5bf24ec842bf8561083/tumblr_nf4u5b3Pln1s239dso2_500.gif

Igfig:

but a steel fist on a stick would be a mace

Orrin:

I mean it's basically just a mace shaped like a hand.

Igfig:

which is 1d6, yeah

Varus:

yeha

Arryn:

okay!

Arryn:

1d6

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d6: [1] = 1

Igfig:

or a morningstar if you cover it with spikes

Varus:

HAH

Varus:

HAAAAAAAAAAAH

Igfig:

which deals 1d8

Igfig:

but yeah, anyway

Arryn:

oooooooooo

Igfig:

might as wella beena fist

Arryn:

spike fist!

Arryn:

still 1 but with spikes

Igfig:

ye

Arryn:

i will use this on lob too it is my new fave weapon

Igfig:

right on

Varus:

OEE

Igfig:

how about that sneak attack damage?

Arryn:

3d6

Fortuna:

Arryn, 3d6: [3, 6, 3] = 12

Igfig:

well well

Igfig:

also I think you forgot your Dex, but it dont' matter

Igfig:

The artificer manages to lift himself up on one arm, just in time to see a spiked fist fill his vision

Arryn:

12+3

Fortuna:

Arryn, 12+3: [] = 15

Igfig:

and behead him

Arryn:

oh wait its 4 now

Arryn:

15+1

Fortuna:

Arryn, 15+1: [] = 16

Igfig:

both artificers down

Arryn:

WOOOOOOOOOOO

Igfig:

and now

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Oh right, also we were forgetting the Bless +1d4 stuff again.

Igfig:

oh yeah

Igfig:

in any case

Orrin:

Orrin time.

Arryn:

HE DEAD

Igfig:

let me divert your attention to the sky again

Orrin:

Orrin stubbornly refuses to look at the sky.

Arryn:

1d20+6 see the sky

Fortuna:

Arryn, see the sky: [2] = 8

Arryn:

i dont see the sky

Igfig:

thin, pale streams are rising from the battlefield, mostly around the gate and harbour

Orrin:

Actually, the cloud would probably have closed over our heads.

Arryn:

yeah

Igfig:

from all the dead, warforged and human alike

Varus:

so is everyone in the fuckin cloud right now

Arryn:

how are we seeing this

Varus:

they are rising rlly high

Igfig:

up toward the sky, and then arcing south toward the vortex that is appearing

Varus:

oh

Orrin:

He's funneling sooouls.

Varus:

thats probably the whole summoning to become a god thing

Orrin:

Varus stop him.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I dunno, but oh hey our top story, warforged have soulsl, further news at 11.

Varus:

man i hope that heat sink helps

Varus:

well

Varus:

i do have a hand in necromancy

Varus:

i COULD

Varus:

in fact

Varus:

you might even say

Varus:

that portal

Varus:

is a

Igfig:

they braid together into thicker strands, which is why you can see them

Varus:

DOOMSDAY DEVICE

Orrin:

I wouldn't say that.

Orrin:

Since we can't actually see what's creating it.

Varus:

well i guess i cant do anything then

Igfig:

The Lord of Blades laughs again

Igfig:

"HA. HA. HA. HA. HA."

Orrin:

But maybe do some wizard stuff to at least slow him down.

Varus:

hm

Varus:

im not sure what wizardy stuff i can do

Orrin:

That's your department.

Varus:

ill look around while you guys do your thing

Orrin:

Me just hit thing

Varus:

oh hey

Varus:

ig

Igfig:

"YOU CANNOT STOP IT. THESE SOULS WILL ALL FEED MY ASCENSION."

Varus:

is the soul sucking thing by any chance a curse

Igfig:

yes?

Igfig:

nope

Igfig:

doesn't look like one

Orrin:

Is it a planar portal?>

Varus:

i got cure curse at the very fucking start

Varus:

never even used it

Orrin:

Cuz we had this discussion already.

Orrin:

Varus fly into the portal.

Igfig:

not a portal

Igfig:

arcana check?

Orrin:

Just go ask those souls very nicely not to turn intoa robot god.

Igfig:

or religion would work too

Varus:

1d20+6

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20+6: [11] = 17

Orrin:

1d20

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20: [5] = 5

Varus:

oh i can roll religion too

Varus:

1d20+6

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20+6: [4] = 10

Varus:

meh

Igfig:

sure

Orrin:

"That sure looks like a soul thingy."

Orrin:

1d20 religion

Fortuna:

Orrin, religion: [9] = 9

Orrin:

Best paladin ever.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'll toss my hat into the ring.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d20_2

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d20+2 whoopsie.

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, whoopsie.: [10] = 12

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'd shrug, but I'm a dinosaur.

Igfig:

the effects you're seeing, not from the souls, but the interplay of energies around the vortex

Arryn:

1d20+1

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+1: [14] = 15

Orrin:

http://thumbs.dreamstime.com/z/confused-dinosaur-13672635.jpg

frosty:

1d20

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20: [8] = 8

Varus:

thats quite magical then

Igfig:

actually look more like the sort of thing you see when Frosty leaves his dragonshard

Varus:

aw dangit

Varus:

hmmm

Varus:

that does sound doomsday devicey

Varus:

if its similar to dragonshards

Igfig:

in any case

Varus:

maybe i CAN do something about it

Orrin:

Make Thakashtai fix it.

Orrin:

I'm gonna go fight this guy now.

Varus:

i different idea

Igfig:

"KNEEL. KNEEL BEFORE YOUR NEW GOD."

Igfig:

http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRHIKQZ145D2E3ED95&lg=1&sq=0&thresh=50

Varus:

i use dimension door ON it with fate points to do something

Varus:

just gotta think of what i want it to do

frosty:

Thakashtai is somewhere safe

Igfig:

just some background on this song

Orrin:

"Pass."

Igfig:

this is the final boss music for every campaign I play

Igfig:

every campaign has to play this at least once, and Ride of the Valkyries at least once

frosty:

"I KNEEL TO MYSELF THRICE DAILY"

Orrin:

It would've gone really well with that robo-demon Peter and I fought at the end of Dogs.

Orrin:

Or was that all of us?

Varus:

all of us

Igfig:

(pretend I played Ride of the Valkyries during Frosty's original assault on Chydris)

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar, all of us and my puppy.

Orrin:

I'm jammin' now, this is the best music I can think of it to air-mount a dinosaur to.

Igfig:

aye

Igfig:

Orrin, go for it

Orrin:

So how do you want this to work Ig? Does he assist me or do I make an Athletics check or what?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I can use my reaction to assist you I think.

Orrin:

I run toward Blaze and holler "Blaze, a leg up if you please?"

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Not going to get a lot of attacks of opportunity while he is on my back.

Igfig:

Yeah, just the reaction is plenty for advantage

Varus:

guys i think i have an idea

server:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus brings my tail down.

Varus:

i just need to hammer out the details

Orrin:

2#1d20+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+4: [18] = 22; 1d20+4: [10] = 14

Orrin:

Hells. Yes.

Orrin:

Orrin is whipped into the air by Blaze's tail.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And we have launch!

Igfig:

totally

Orrin:

Since I'm hurtling through the air, can I count my first attack as a charge?

Igfig:

yes definitely

Orrin:

What are the rules for charge now?

Varus:

argh i need more info on that portal before i do anything on it

Orrin:

I havne't done one since the playtest.

Igfig:

there aren't any really

Igfig:

unless you have the feat

Orrin:

Oh that's easy then.

Orrin:

I couldn't remember if there was a bonus or a penalty or something.

Igfig:

but I'll let you do a little pushback

Orrin:

Very well.

frosty:

push against st save

Orrin:

Orrin goes hurtling through the air at the Lord of Blades, swinging his hammer in midair and laughing like a madman.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [11] = 19

Igfig:

that's a hit

Igfig:

The Lord swings his armblade in response to meet you

Igfig:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+8: [11] = 19

Orrin:

HA

Orrin:

This magic shield thing is a real lifesaver.

Igfig:

but your hammer smashes his arm down, out of the way

Orrin:

2d6+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d6+4: [4, 2] = 10

Orrin:

Hmm.

Varus:

ok guys

Varus:

i know what my idea is

Orrin:

I guess I should try to knock him down while I have the hit.

Orrin:

So I'll toss a thunderous smite on there.

Varus:

my idea is to use demon door with fate points to reverse the effect of that portal and instead of bringing something out, bring everything else in

Igfig:

Orrin, don't you have advantage against him?

Orrin:

Do I?

Igfig:

Oath of EMnity

Orrin:

Oh yeaah.

Orrin:

Hahaha.

Orrin:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [13] = 21

Igfig:

ok, still just a hit

Orrin:

Gimme a con save.

Igfig:

1d20+7 Con save

Fortuna:

Igfig, Con save: [5] = 12

Orrin:

YEAH.

Igfig:

oh!

Orrin:

He is blasted off the dinosaur.

Orrin:

"THIS IS MY DINOSAUR LIL BITCH"

frosty:

aww

Igfig:

hmm

Igfig:

you know what

Igfig:

Legendary Resistance

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar, saw that coming I did.

Igfig:

it might not be the tactically best use of it

Igfig:

but this is a matter of pride

Orrin:

Eh, if it's taking something off the board I'll still count it as a win.

Igfig:

The Lord of Blades stands his ground

Igfig:

aye

Orrin:

Does he still take full damage? It's half on a miss, but the smite actually DOES hit, he's just very sturdy.

Orrin:

2d8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d8: [8, 6] = 14

Orrin:

Either 14 or 7 at your discretion.

Igfig:

the smite deals full damage, the save is just against the push

Igfig:

so 14

Igfig:

19 total

Orrin:

Is he resistant to bludgeoning?

Igfig:

resistant to all nonmagical damage

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I think he is resistant to weapons in general, yar.

Igfig:

and you don't have magic weapon active, do you?

Orrin:

Oh yeah I had to make a magic weapon last time we fought one of these assholes.

Orrin:

Nope.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also you can do your bonus action with the aura of vitality to heal someone again.

Orrin:

If I can get him off the dinosaur Ima turn it on.

Orrin:

I'm still gonna hit him again.

Orrin:

2#1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [15] = 23; 1d20+8: [10] = 18

frosty:

nana naa na

Arryn:

nana na na na

Orrin:

Orrin swings again, mightily.

Igfig:

well, that is a hit

Orrin:

So if he already used that Resistance shit, can he use it again? Or is that off the table?

frosty:

its the final countdown

Igfig:

he has a couple uses of it

Varus:

actually i have a second idea

Varus:

but ill have to wait for the moment the lord is about to transform

Varus:

like he absorbs the energy

Orrin:

Hmm.

Orrin:

I really want him back in that damn cloud.

Orrin:

But there's no way you're gonna let me have it.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'm not so sure we have to worry about his transformation Varus.

Varus:

i know

Varus:

thats why im not going to fuck with the portal just yet

Varus:

and save it in case something does haappen

Igfig:

eh, if you burn all his legendary resists that's good too

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure all the sky stuff is scripted, I wouldn't worry too much about it.

Orrin:

I suppose it is.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

We messed with the ritual, and we aren't the only ones who messed with the ritual too, either. Someone else did who probably actually had knowledge of it.

Orrin:

Gimme another Con save, then.

Varus:

we can still fuck with scripted stuff

Igfig:

are you doing Thundering Smite again? That was a bonus action to cast, you can't do it again this turn

Igfig:

There is nothing that's un-fuckwithable

Orrin:

Oh yeah it's not like Divine.

Igfig:

the sky stuff will be hard to fuck with, but not impossible

Varus:

exactly

Varus:

yar

Orrin:

Okay, I'll just toss a Divine on him then.

Orrin:

2d8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d8: [2, 1] = 3

Igfig:

you could normal smite though

Orrin:

God dammit.

Igfig:

:(

Igfig:

what was the regular damage?

Orrin:

2d6+4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d6+4: [3, 3] = 10

Orrin:

5 again.

Igfig:

ayup

Orrin:

I can live with putting 25 damage on him.

Orrin:

And Peter.

Orrin:

2d6

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d6: [6, 6] = 12

Orrin:

BOOM

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

You can't do that I think, cause that is a bonus action and you used the thunderous smite with your bonus action.

Igfig:

yeah

Igfig:

sorry

Orrin:

Oh.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

But I'll be fine, yar.

Orrin:

Sorry bout your back, then.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'm not even dino-bloodied yet.

Orrin:

Pretend those sixes were for moral support.

Orrin:

FROSTY YOU UP SON

Orrin:

All the manes are dead, yeah?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Very yeah.

frosty:

https://31.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m37wfkY19S1rqfhi2o1_500.gif whats the rolls to do this to the shitlord

frosty:

like in order plz

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Well, first you'd probably have to get on top of me as well, and I'm out of reactions to help you get up.

Orrin:

Athletics to make the jump, then just an attack I'd imagine.

Igfig:

oh yeah, also the Lord backhands you Orrin

frosty:

1d20+5 ath

Fortuna:

frosty, ath: [7] = 12

Igfig:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+8: [3] = 11

Igfig:

but misses

Orrin:

What a scrub.

frosty:

BUT

Orrin:

Frosty just kind of awkwardly flails around on the ground.

Orrin:

He forgot how legs work.

frosty:

i have an aspect that is flying like a tiger

Varus:

FLYING TIGER, CROUCHING DRAGON

frosty:

fucking brain fart

Orrin:

Excuse me, it's LEAPING THROUGH THE SKY, LIKE A TIGER

frosty:

what is that lyric

frosty:

thank you

Varus:

oh was that a lyric

Varus:

i thought you were doing some 80s kung fu movie stuff

frosty:

yes

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar.

frosty:

so i scuffle then handspring JUMP

frosty:

1d20+5

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+5: [8] = 13

frosty:

hehehh

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also The Final Countdown loops rather well.

Igfig:

that's uh, just barely enough I'll say

Igfig:

parts of it loop really badly I think, parts are good

frosty:

woooooo

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

he listed an aspect, yar, could fate point of it. But if it is good it is good.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I suppose I haven't been, oh right there was a bad one just as I was saying I haven't been paying too close attention, oh yar, now I had two.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Just in my writing that sentence, weird.

frosty:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+8: [4] = 12

frosty:

gahhhh

frosty:

oh its +9 but still

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

You're already leaping through the sky, like a tiger, could fate point that, also also +1d4 cause of bless still.

Orrin:

Mine kept going silent for like... multiple seconds at a time.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

That's weird.

server:

joey2 joined #pwot_dnd.

joey2:

net died

Igfig:

happens

frosty2:

uh so i just missed what happened next

Igfig:

so you had a 13+1d4 on an attack

Igfig:

I think that was an attack

frosty2:

yes

Igfig:

which is probably not enough to hit

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

You rolled, you missed, you could fate point it if you want I think cause you could still be leaping, yar.

frosty2:

probly

server:

frosty quit.

Igfig:

you have a second attack though of course

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also that.

Orrin:

Roll the d4.

Orrin:

Didn't I hit wiht a 17?

Igfig:

pretty sure you didn't

frosty2:

1d4

Fortuna:

frosty2, 1d4: [2] = 2

frosty2:

eh

Igfig:

that was not a hit

server:

Arryn quit.

Igfig:

second attack?

Orrin:

Oh I rolled an 18, but with advantage so it didn't count. Is what I was thinking of.

frosty2:

1d20+9+1d4

Fortuna:

frosty2, 1d20+9+1d4: [13, 2] = 24

Igfig:

that one's a hit

server:

frosty joined #pwot_dnd.

frosty:

yay

frosty:

2d6+5

Fortuna:

frosty, 2d6+5: [4, 6] = 15

Varus:

ok we have two plans

Varus:

for that thing in the sky

frosty:

is that also +1d4 or what does that apply to?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Just attacks and saves.

frosty:

aight

server:

mib_ck6c2h joined #pwot_dnd.

Igfig:

just attacks and saves

mib_ck6c2h:

laaaaame, mib_ck6c2h

frosty:

so i kicked with one leg

Igfig:

are you going to enter his space, or just set him on fire normally?

frosty:

with my foot

Igfig:

right

frosty:

hmm cause standing fire on blaze probly not too good for him..

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Probably not.

frosty:

can i try to follow the fick with a charge/push??

frosty:

cause it was a running jump

Varus:

yo this turn is taking fuckin forever

Varus:

this round

frosty2:

sorries

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure you never get to complain about things taking too long, ever, after the Mice Debacle.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

There are a lot of logistics to consider when fighting on top of a dinosaur.

Varus:

yeah u_u

frosty:

true

Varus:

that is true

Varus:

but man i rlly wanna do my plan

Varus:

me and igfig worked something out i just need more info

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Fortuna is fighting on top of a dinosaur hard?

Fortuna:

Ha. No.

Igfig:

sorry, got distracted by someone

Varus:

HAH

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Guess she disagrees.

Varus:

it was me

Igfig:

you can try and do a push Frosty, you won't get the Charger bonus though

frosty:

ok!

Igfig:

because you already made two attacks

frosty:

1d20+6

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+6: [6] = 12

frosty:

12+1d4

Fortuna:

frosty, 12+1d4: [1] = 13

frosty:

now you, strengthcheck

Igfig:

1d20+8 str save

Fortuna:

Igfig, str save: [18] = 26

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And that was that.

frosty:

not save

frosty:

check

frosty:

but either way

Orrin:

Oh my God it's midnight. Let's kill this fuckin guuuy.

Igfig:

it was an athletics check, same bonus

Varus:

its 1am orrin

Orrin:

I though ti was like... 10.

Varus:

i remember looking at it being 10 40

Igfig:

oh, he's going to keep hacking at Orrin with armblades

Igfig:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+8: [8] = 16

Igfig:

but that's a miss again

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

so Frosty's turn is done, my turn then.

frosty:

1d10 fire the lob

Fortuna:

frosty, fire the lob: [10] = 10

Igfig:

yep

frosty:

WOOOO

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Um, my tail has reach, I'm not so sure I can try to hit him though.

Varus:

lord of blade has tenor though

Orrin:

Someday he'll hit me.

Varus:

tenure??

Varus:

whatever

Orrin:

He's very tall, I reckon you could hit him without hitting me.

frosty:

my foot is strong with fire

Orrin:

Not sure about Frost.

Orrin:

Frosty*

frosty:

i am 10 tall

Varus:

duck

Igfig:

you could try and hit him yeah Blaze. Disad though I think.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Might as well try, yar.

Igfig:

on the other hand

Varus:

is the lord off the fuckin dino yet

Orrin:

He's never gonna fall off.

frosty:

he just stabbed Blaze_Ankylosaurus, Blaze_Ankylosaurus knows where he is

Varus:

blaze

Igfig:

I think Orrin is closer to your front than the LoB is

Varus:

just

Varus:

do a barrel roll

Igfig:

so your tail would be flanking the LoB

Varus:

ahaha

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

That's a weird thought, but alright.

Orrin:

Yeah he is definitely not looking for an attack from that direction.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d20+7

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, 1d20+7: [7] = 14

Orrin:

With me and Frosty right in front of him.

Varus:

SURPRISE DINO TAIL

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Oh wait.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d4

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, 1d4: [2] = 2

Igfig:

but it misses regardless

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

16 is still a nope.

Igfig:

alas

frosty:

we cant hit this guy for shit

Igfig:

And the Lord gives your tail a slash as it goes by

Igfig:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+8: [5] = 13

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Miss.

Varus:

what a dick

Igfig:

but glances off the bone know

Igfig:

*knot

Orrin:

He's just too busy thinkin' bout God stuff.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also as a bonus action I expend a level 2 spell slot to regain some health.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

2d8

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, 2d8: [1, 4] = 5

Varus:

neato

Varus:

:C

Igfig:

wurp

Igfig:

Varus turn

Varus:

ok

Varus:

first my arcana

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And wait actually.

Varus:

1d20+6

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20+6: [15] = 21

Igfig:

oh

Varus:

yooooo

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Hey guys, is there anywhere we want to take the Lord of Blades?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Cause I can move.

Orrin:

to the corner for a timeout.

Varus:

no

Varus:

keep him in my cloud

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

We can take this party somewhere else.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

He's already not in the cloud, yar.

Varus:

yes he is

Orrin:

Take this fight outside Metropolis, as it were.

Varus:

the cloud is 20 feet in radius

Igfig:

he's on Blaze

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

And Blaze is 15 feet wide.

Igfig:

who is unclouded

Varus:

sorry blaze

Orrin:

So there's basically no cloud.

Orrin:

Is what you're saying.

Varus:

i close the cloud on blaze

Orrin:

WE ARE ALL IN HERE.

Orrin:

NO

Orrin:

DUDE

Varus:

sorry guys

Orrin:

There is no way this thing does enough damage for that to be a good idea.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I think you'd have to fate point to do that, yar.

Igfig:

I'm not sure you can even do that

Orrin:

I'm gonna have to punch your dick so hard you die again.

Igfig:

yeah

Varus:

i literally just stop sculpting the spell

Igfig:

you'd have to FP that

Arryn:

i will stab you as my action

Varus:

aah well i just dont do it then

Varus:

21 on the arcana ig

Igfig:

right

Igfig:

refresh my memory (and the logs') what you wanted to know?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also my question still stands, is there anywhere we want to take the Lord of Blades?

Arryn:

the toilet

Varus:

if its a portal of some kind and if so where does it go

Arryn:

swirlies

Igfig:

It's a portal-like phenomenon, but it is not actually a portal

Orrin:

It might not be a BAD idea to take him away from the gaping Hellmouth he's trying to use to turn himself into a God.

Orrin:

If he insists on being up here.

Igfig:

there is a distinct lack of interplanar connections

Varus:

interesting

Varus:

so its going somewhere thats already on this plane

Igfig:

or rather, indirect ones

Varus:

what do you mean

Varus:

like bouncing off something to get to the other pane?

Igfig:

well, like, imagine that you've got your three spatial dimensions, and then the planes are positioned relative to each other in three more dimensions

Igfig:

six dimensions in all

Igfig:

using a planar travel spell would create a connection that's a line through the three planar dimensions

Igfig:

but this one is going just straight down

Orrin:

We should move him away from here.

Igfig:

it's connected to something, but that something is just down

Varus:

to the lower direction?

Varus:

lower dragon*

Igfig:

to Khyber? Yes, that would be a reasonable assumption

frosty:

yeah just walk him away from being down

Varus:

theressss

Varus:

fernia, risia, and kythri there

Igfig:

Khyber is technically a different plane, but it's connected via the regular dimensions. You can just walk to Khyber if you go deep enough.

frosty:

step forward a couple feet

Varus:

well the sea of fire is down there

Igfig:

eh?

Varus:

plane of ice and the whirling chaos

Orrin:

I mean I assume it's gonna be more difficult than that but he wanted to be here for a reason and we have the ability to make him not be here, at least temporarily.

Igfig:

No, that'd be in the plane dimensions. This is in our own, regular people down dimension

Varus:

in khyber

frosty:

khybers the one yo get to by spelunking right

Orrin:

Also, not that the planar lore isn't interesting, but let's do the thing.

Varus:

you said the plane of khyber is the one below

Varus:

i wanna know where the hell that thing goes

Orrin:

Go through it.

frosty:

just cave after cave til you bam there

Igfig:

also eberron planes move like an orrery, so fernia, risia, etc, aren't actually below anything

Varus:

its connecting in the downwards regular dimension

Varus:

like its underground and you reach the sea of fire or something

Igfig:

khyber is the spelunker dimension

Varus:

so it IS down

Orrin:

If he didn't tell you based on the roll, I don't think he's just gonna say "yes" if we guess enough planes.

Igfig:

and no, the sea of fire is a regular plane

Igfig:

it is not khyber

Varus:

ok

Varus:

well thats pretty much my turn anyways

Varus:

since a check is an action

Igfig:

eh? No it isn't

Varus:

so you guys can do your thing

Varus:

??

Igfig:

that'd be a bonus action at most

Varus:

a skill check is a regular action i thought

Igfig:

you can still do a thing

Varus:

its been that way since we played 4e

Varus:

well ok then

Igfig:

not a knowledge check

frosty:

so can check freely??????????

Varus:

ok then guys i can either dispel the portal

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Darn, I had an idea for another song but the only version I could find wasn't particularly well done.

Varus:

or

Varus:

do another insane idea that i have

Varus:

which do you guys want

Igfig:

depends on the check Frosty

Varus:

insane, or dispel

Orrin:

If you think he'll let you dispel the portal I'd do that.

frosty:

not any idea you have

Orrin:

We're literally watching it gather the souls of the damned.

Varus:

i absolutely think i can dispel it with the idea i have here

Varus:

id want to get close though

Varus:

which means

Orrin:

That's all the evidence I really need to say we should close it.

Varus:

id need some kind of eagle

Igfig:

Also Varus do remember that the vortex is miles to the south

Varus:

to ride on

Varus:

i know

Igfig:

past the horizon, technically

Orrin:

We're not giving up our dinosaur platform so you can try to do a thing.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I could stop being a dinosaur, yar.

Orrin:

While three of us solo the final boss.

Varus:

orrin

Varus:

dino platform

Varus:

or

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

But yar, splitting the party could be pretty rough.

Varus:

close the hell portal sucking osuls in

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

He isn't even bloodied yet.

Varus:

which is your fuckin decision

Igfig:

aye

Varus:

oh man

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure we're not supposed to split the party to try a harebrained scheme in the middle of the last fight.

Varus:

alright lets kill him and close it after

Orrin:

Just shoot ice at him or something.

Varus:

i can cast ray of enfeeblement

Varus:

to fuck him up

Orrin:

Didn't you try that once and he was immune?

Varus:

no that was blight

Orrin:

Somebody was immune to enfeeblement.

frosty:

ice would negate his ongoing fire

Orrin:

Or maybe you just missed it.

Varus:

ig was he immune to enfeeblement ever?

Varus:

oh

Varus:

no effect on constructs it says

Varus:

so i wont use it

Igfig:

not immune to ray of enfeeblement

Igfig:

oh right

Igfig:

yes he was

Igfig:

okay

Orrin:

I remember all.

Varus:

ok

frosty:

missile him, goddam

Varus:

so im gunna run up to the lord

Varus:

and use dimension door

Varus:

to teleport 500 meters into the air with him

Orrin:

You're gonna have to make an athletics check first.

Varus:

well im still nearby

Varus:

surely its just a move

Orrin:

You have to get on the dinosaur.

frosty:

to jump

Varus:

blaze'll let me on

Varus:

right buddy

Orrin:

I still had to roll.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I already actually I do have my reaction again.

Igfig:

Creature has to be willing

Varus:

i can fatepoint it

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I can get you advantage, yar, or just to let you on, yar.

Igfig:

all right

Varus:

EXCELLENT

Varus:

then i run up to blaze

Igfig:

it'd be a Cha save I guess?

Varus:

my good pal lets me on

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

right blaze, ol buddy ol pa

Varus:

l

Igfig:

and it'd be 500 feet, not 500m

Varus:

you let me on right

Varus:

okay

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yup.

Varus:

okay

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Don't see why I wouldn't, yar.

Varus:

and i just lightly touch the lord's arm

Arryn:

leave that tail down for me

Varus:

and

Orrin:

Well.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

This is going to be interesting.

Orrin:

Because he's about to drop a one-ton construct on you from 500 feet in the air.

Orrin:

Would be a good reason not to.

Arryn:

hang on

Arryn:

yeah

Arryn:

bad idea

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

He can aim to not have him land on me, yar.

Varus:

MY BLOOD STARTS BOILING IN MY VEINS AND MY FACE'S BLACK VEINS TURN EVEN DARKER AS I FORCE THE LORD TO ACCEPT MY TELEPORT

Varus:

charisma save!

Orrin:

Make sure you go a little to the left.

Igfig:

1d20+7 Cha save

Fortuna:

Igfig, Cha save: [15] = 22

Varus:

sure

Varus:

i can go slightly to the left

Orrin:

Turnt. Up.

Varus:

WHOA WHAT

Varus:

+7 TO THE SAVE?

Igfig:

he has prof in Str, Con, and Cha

Arryn:

how does he have 7 charisma

Varus:

this guy has a TERRIBLE way with words

Orrin:

I mean he is a king.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

He has to have convinced people to have him lead somehow.

Igfig:

his Cha is 16

Orrin:

Charisma isn't just eloquence.

Orrin:

"Force of personality" I think he has covered.

Igfig:

he still has hella force of personality, yeah

Varus:

hmmm

Arryn:

hes gonna smack you onto the ground now

Igfig:

you guys wouldn't feel so strongly about him if his Cha were worse

Varus:

we should get him disadvantage somehow

Varus:

anyone wanna contribute somehow?

Orrin:

I don't think there's really a lot we can do.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

You're doing the thing, maybe you can give him disadvantage with an aspect fate point relating to your spell?

Varus:

well right now im using my blood determination feat

Varus:

which will make me take tons of damage

Varus:

i could invoke a regular fate point as well maybe

Igfig:

did you even need to do that? Didn't you have FP left already?

Igfig:

yeah

Arryn:

no take the damage

Varus:

i couldnt think of any fate poitns that could do that

Varus:

could he be surprised at all? Considering i just walked up and poked him and then suddenly he wanted to come into the sky with me

Igfig:

that is true

Orrin:

I mean if it's just a force of personality thing, if you feel strongly enough that you'll take 500 feet of fall damage to prevent him from hurting anyone I'd give you "For the good of us all"

Varus:

or too busy fighting 3 dudes on a dinosaur to focus properly on the save

Varus:

well

Varus:

me taking the damage from blood determination could be for the good of us all

Igfig:

pretty sure he expects a wizard trying to poke him to involve a spell in some way

Orrin:

Flanking bonus to teleport is basically waht you're saying.

Varus:

but thats a road i dont want to take cause itll lead to me doing t all the time

Varus:

yeah orrin

Orrin:

But yeah if he just got disadvantage for fighting multiple people he wouldn't be much of a boss.

Varus:

yeah

Igfig:

if you're teleporting yourself up into the air too Varus, that's kinda self-sacrifice

Varus:

well

Varus:

that IS true

Varus:

howabout

Igfig:

and would probably qualify for good of us all

Orrin:

That's what I'm saying.

Varus:

instead of blood determination to bring him

Varus:

i do good of us all

Varus:

and then blood determiantion

Igfig:

sure

Varus:

to give him disadvantage

Orrin:

You don't know he's not just going to impale the shit out of you and drag you both to your deaths.

Varus:

excellent!

Igfig:

I will reroll

Varus:

CMOOON

Varus:

FORTUNA PLEASE

Igfig:

1d20+7 Cha save

Fortuna:

Igfig, Cha save: [15] = 22

Varus:

CMON

Varus:

welp

Igfig:

:D

Arryn:

hahahahah

Varus:

i just teleport into the air on my own i guess?

Orrin:

So Varus is gonna die.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

(He still has legendary resistance anyways)

frosty:

rip Varus

Orrin:

I assume he's gonna try to stab your face first.

Igfig:

how much damage did you take already Varus?

Varus:

dimension door is instant

Varus:

lets roll and find out

Orrin:

You touched a guy made of swords.

Igfig:

oh yeah, 1d8 for that

Igfig:

1d8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d8: [3] = 3

Orrin:

If it hurts the turtlesaurus, it's gonna hurt you.

Varus:

6d6

Fortuna:

Varus, 6d6: [2, 2, 6, 3, 1, 5] = 19

Varus:

i poked him

Varus:

i didnt slam my head into him

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Which is why you took 3 damage, instead of 8.

Varus:

so 19 damage from blood determination

Varus:

and then fwoop into the air

Orrin:

He stood on the back of an Ankylosaurus and it did 5 damage.

frosty:

hahahahaha

Varus:

hey while im up here can i get a better look at that portal

Orrin:

Touching him is gonna hurt anybody.

frosty:

this is so much better than the dagger

Orrin:

Seeing as it's like... several miles away, I don't think your perspective is likely to change much.

Varus:

hey now

Varus:

its worth a quick glance while im up there

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

It might.

Igfig:

just reaching in through that tangle of blades is incredibly sharp

Varus:

yeah ok

frosty:

oh yes right

Igfig:

You can see much further form up here, yeah

Varus:

hell yeah

Igfig:

all the way to the base of the vortex in fact

frosty:

1d8/2 my foot

Fortuna:

frosty, my foot: [8] = 4

Varus:

can i roll another arcana on the portal

Orrin:

Oh I guess there are walls.

Varus:

oooh

Varus:

what do my elf eyes see

Igfig:

it is centered on the spot where Chydris sank, of course

Varus:

of course

Orrin:

Didn't Waffle complain about a turn taking "fucking forever" like... 20 minutes ago?

frosty:

yes

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

but my turn is a bit more complex

Varus:

then hackin at a dude

Igfig:

although you can't see the wreck of the Frosty any more, it must have been taken up into the vortex

Varus:

WIZARD BRO

Varus:

aw

Varus:

sorry frosty

Arryn:

your turn is you being an idiot

Varus:

ok

Varus:

so im assuming the machine in the chydris is till doing stuff

Orrin:

Your turn has literally run all other turns out the top of the Mibbit.

Varus:

yeah

Igfig:

the base of the vortex is surrounded by a cloud of particles, you can't tell what but they're pretty shiny

Orrin:

I've forgotten the taste of bread. The smell of trees.

Varus:

huh

Igfig:

anyway, it takes 5.6 seconds to fall 500 feet, I hope you have a feather fall ready

Varus:

orrin do you remember sunlight

Varus:

i sure do

Varus:

so i just use that

Varus:

and float daintily to the ground

Igfig:

ayup

Varus:

land back where i started my turn

Arryn:

miss miss miss

Varus:

and end it there

Arryn:

awww

Varus:

i cant really miss a feather fall

Igfig:

it was a clever idea, even if it didn't work

Igfig:

Kudos for that

Varus:

now its his turn

Igfig:

so it is

Orrin:

Oh man, he's gonna snipe your shit with that wand.

Igfig:

Varus, where did you land?

frosty:

good lord

Orrin:

Blap blap.

Varus:

i have another use of blood determination lying around too, i have enough health

Varus:

i just landed literally right where i started my turn

Varus:

so like 15 feet awya from the dino fight

Igfig:

okay

Igfig:

Is Frosty on the dinosaur too?

Varus:

remember when ben threw the colonol off the ship

frosty:

yes

Orrin:

He is.

Varus:

them were the days

Igfig:

okay

Igfig:

So between Orrin, Frosty, and Blaze

frosty:

DIBS

Igfig:

I think Frosty is the best target right now, yeah

frosty:

I AM ALWAYS THE BEST

Igfig:

since he's using Blaze for cloud protection, and Orrin is really hard to hit

Igfig:

so

frosty:

1d10

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d10: [4] = 4

frosty:

start of his turn

Igfig:

oh yeah, he takes fire damage

Igfig:

2#1d20+8 vs Frosty AC

Fortuna:

Igfig, vs Frosty AC: [11] = 19; vs Frosty AC: [19] = 27

frosty:

both hit!

Igfig:

no charge damage, but still:

Varus:

yo knock him off that fuckin dinosaur back into the cloud

Varus:

what if blaze suddenly unmorphed

Orrin:

Well, we've all only gotten one turn since he was up here.

Orrin:

So.

server:

Igfig quit.

Orrin:

Give us a sec.

Varus:

oh ok

Varus:

youve had 6

Varus:

that should be enough

server:

Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.

Igfig:

whoops

Igfig:

4d8+8 damage

Fortuna:

Igfig, damage: [7, 5, 5, 8] = 33

Orrin:

I took away a charge of his bullshit.

frosty:

33/2

Fortuna:

frosty, 33/2: [] = 16

Igfig:

ignoring resistance

Orrin:

Frosty missed his thing.

frosty:

oh

frosty:

?

Orrin:

You hurt yourself very badly and flew away.

Igfig:

adamantine weapon, counts as magical for DR purposes

frosty:

ah

Igfig:

and... yeah, that's his turn I guess.

Varus:

GET EM

Arryn:

ME!

Arryn:

i think?

Igfig:

He slashes Frosty twice across the chest, driving Frosty nearly off the dinosaur

Igfig:

Sure!

Arryn:

blaze did you leave your tail down like i said to

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar.

Arryn:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I've got my reaction available for funsies too.

Arryn:

ok!

server:

Arryn runs up tail

Arryn:

and a hit with the fistfucker

Arryn:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+8: [15] = 23

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Roll again, advantage, might crit, yar.

Arryn:

1d20+8

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+8: [13] = 21

Igfig:

still a solid hit

Arryn:

WHUMP

Arryn:

1d8+4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d8+4: [6] = 10

Igfig:

you guys are really squished here on the back of this dinosaur

Igfig:

there are, uh, three medium people and a large one?

Arryn:

can i push him too??

Orrin:

It is getting a little crowded up here.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Probably for the best, you have those tactical thingies, yar.

Igfig:

You've got a power for that, don'tcha?

Igfig:

You can also sneak attack

Igfig:

hell, you could also Action Surge

Arryn:

or cause his arm is a sord can disarming literally disarm him???

Igfig:

fraid not

Arryn:

:/

Igfig:

he's holding a sword, and then his arms are also swords

Igfig:

so you could disarm him of his double sword sword

Arryn:

ehhh

Igfig:

er, triple sword

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

That's the thing he crit stab me with, yar.

Arryn:

whats the action surge do again

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Let's you perform a whole action again.

Igfig:

you get another action

Igfig:

yeah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

So that'd be two more attacks I think.

Arryn:

ah!

Arryn:

ill do that

Arryn:

can i just roll all at once

Igfig:

sure!

Orrin:

Do your actual second attack first.

Orrin:

Or at least, don't forget to include it.

Igfig:

and don't forget advantage

Igfig:

and bless

Arryn:

6#1d20+8+1d4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+8+1d4: [20, 2] = 30; 1d20+8+1d4: [1, 3] = 12; 1d20+8+1d4: [17, 1] = 26; 1d20+8+1d4: [11, 4] = 23; 1d20+8+1d4: [20, 4] = 32; 1d20+8+1d4: [14, 4] = 26

Arryn:

WOOO

Orrin:

Two crits.

Orrin:

Fuck you, Ben.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Sweet crits, put the sneak attack on one of those.

Igfig:

woho

Igfig:

yeah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And the tactical whatever too, for maximum damage.

server:

Arryn swings in a torpedo of fistfucker and sords

Arryn:

so the first crit was for the sord

Igfig:

ok

Orrin:

Does errbody get an action surge or just fighters?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Just fighters.

Igfig:

just fighters

Orrin:

Sad.

Arryn:

oh does the action double count to the sneak attack too?

Igfig:

nope, just the one sneak attack

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Combine that with the 4 attacks they get at 20th level, and they can do some serious damage, yar.

Arryn:

ok thought so

Arryn:

so crit is full damage?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Nope, doubles the damage dice.

Igfig:

crit doubles the number of damage dice you do

Arryn:

ah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

So double the weapon damage, double the sneak attack damage, double the tactical thingy damage, yar.

Arryn:

so both crits were on sord rolls so thats

Orrin:

I'd put one of them on the fist.

Orrin:

Because he's not resistant to that.

Arryn:

but thats not the order they were in

Igfig:

I appreciate your honesty Arryn

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure they can be in whatever order your heart desires, but there you go.

Arryn:

4d6+1d8+4+3d6+4 alll together now

Fortuna:

Arryn, alll together now: [3, 1, 6, 1, 8, 5, 4, 4] = 40

Igfig:

Where did the second +4 come from?

Arryn:

the dex on the sneak attack

Igfig:

you don't add dex to your sneak attack

Orrin:

You told him to last time.

Arryn:

you said last time i forgot the dex bonus

Orrin:

But it didn't matter because he killed it either way.

Igfig:

on your regular weapon attack! Not sneak attack

frosty:

[23:16] <~Igfig> how about that sneak attack damage?

frosty:

[23:16] < 3d6>

frosty:

[23:16] <@Fortuna> Arryn, 3d6: [3, 6, 3] = 12

frosty:

[23:16] <~Igfig> well well

frosty:

[23:16] <~Igfig> also I think you forgot your Dex, but it dont' matter

Varus:

btw blaze

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Si?

Varus:

did you ever cast heat metal on the lord for the damage every turn like we did on that huge guy?

Igfig:

yeah, but I was referring to the original damage roll

Igfig:

I think the damage roll should be 10d6+3d8+4 here

frosty:

ah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Nope, cause I went to town smashing that artificer first.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also there was a cloud in the way of line of sight.

frosty:

uuugh fine

Varus:

alright

frosty:

10d6+3d8+4 here

Fortuna:

frosty, here: [3, 6, 3, 4, 6, 3, 4, 6, 2, 3, 7, 5, 4] = 60

frosty:

THERE

Igfig:

wahey

frosty:

YOU FUCKING HAPPY

Varus:

you should morph use it then morph back, cause thatll deal more damage than just being dinosaur i think

Igfig:

pretty happy, yeah

Igfig:

uh, let's see though

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yeah it would, but I'll be honest I'm not sure if I have line of sight to him with him on my back, yar.

Igfig:

the sword attacks are nonmagical, so they're halved

frosty:

aight

Varus:

you cant cast spells in wildform anyways right?

Igfig:

so 21 of the damage is magical, 49 isn't

Igfig:

49/2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 49/2: [] = 24

Igfig:

24+21

Fortuna:

Igfig, 24+21: [] = 45

Igfig:

total of 45 damage

Igfig:

(including damage from your first attack)

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yar, but if he gets on my back again then yar, plus unlike most warforged we have fought, the Lord of Blades is perfectly capable of focusing in on me until my concentration breaks or I die.

Varus:

i know but i think thats worth the risk

Igfig:

The Lord is bloodied!

Orrin:

Take that!

Arryn:

oh that damage rolls shoulda been in here, w/e

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Plus, we might need a wildshape for after the battle if that ritual thing keeps happening.

Varus:

that is true

Arryn:

45= Arryn for record

Varus:

but only to fly up there so i can dispel

Orrin:

Still takes a cast.

Orrin:

Orrin time!

Igfig:

So you just run up to the Lord of Blades, bash him in some joint, maybe under the arm, with the fistfucker, and then just start hacking right in his back with the sword

Varus:

thats awesome

Varus:

arryn is pissed

server:

Arryn RAAAGE

Orrin:

Just goin hard on 'em.

Igfig:

you don't think warforged have vertebrae, but you definitely hit whatever the equivalent is, and it shows

Arryn:

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

Igfig:

The Lord stumbles for a moment, then whirls on you, filled with rage

Igfig:

tries to grab you in a bear hug

Igfig:

2#1d20+8 armblades

Fortuna:

Igfig, armblades: [15] = 23; armblades: [16] = 24

Varus:

aw

server:

Arryn glare

Varus:

lil guy just wants some love

Arryn:

both hit

Igfig:

2d8+8

Fortuna:

Igfig, 2d8+8: [8, 2] = 18

Arryn:

but

Arryn:

how does dodge work

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Also, for future stuffs, I'd like to call dibs on final taunt when he is laying on the ground dying.

Igfig:

you choose an attack that hits you. That attack deals half damage.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I've got a good line.

Igfig:

You can do this once a round, every round

Igfig:

(it costs your reaction)

Arryn:

ok i do that

Orrin:

You should do that thing.

Arryn:

reaction hmm

Igfig:

all right, halving the more damaging attack reduces that to 12

Igfig:

he still has you grabbed though

Arryn:

i use the final spins of my tornado of slashing to parry one of his blows

Arryn:

slightly

Orrin:

The fistfucker is awkwardly wedged in the crook of his arm, keeping some of the spikes away from your body.

Arryn:

whats the save on a grab?

Arryn:

can i not duck?

Orrin:

Probably just Str to break free, though you might be able to get dex to wriggle out instead.

Igfig:

oh, I guess make an Acrobatics check actually

Igfig:

1d20+8 athletics

Fortuna:

Igfig, athletics: [8] = 16

Arryn:

you know it

Varus:

have we figured out the lords ac btw?

Arryn:

1d20+12+1d4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+12+1d4: [18, 2] = 32

Arryn:

fuck off

Igfig:

it's 18

Orrin:

Good God.

Varus:

ok

Igfig:

and you don't get the +2 because this is a check, not a save

Arryn:

ah

Varus:

does that REALLY matter

Igfig:

but that is still a literally deity-level piece of acrobatis

Arryn:

so only 30 smdh

Orrin:

Arryn just blinks out of existence.

Orrin:

The Lord grapples at empty air.

Orrin:

She reappears with a cocky grin.

Orrin:

Ben, roll for cocky grin.

Varus:

give him a nice kick in the nads while you're at this

Arryn:

1d20 cocky grin

Fortuna:

Arryn, cocky grin: [19] = 19

Varus:

bruh

Arryn:

its p cocky

Igfig:

pretty dan cocky

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Super cocky.

Orrin:

It is the smuggest shit-eating grin in town.

Orrin:

Even Orrin is grudgingly impressed.

server:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus can't see it but is still impressed.

Arryn:

i change the fistfucker to a middle finger

Orrin:

YES

Varus:

haha

Orrin:

Alright, Orrin time.

Igfig:

Also, now that he's bloodied, the LoB's attack pattern changes

Varus:

sonovabitch

Varus:

untransform and get that guy in the cloud

Varus:

every turn 5d8 plus the heat metal

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Hasn't the cloud kept moving away?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

10 feet every turn?

Varus:

theres still one more turn of it

Igfig:

he's moving more unpredictably now, spinning and whirling in mad arcs

Orrin:

While the Lord is distracted getting his shit merced by Arryn and then failing to grab her, Orrin lifts his hammer skyward and the symbol on its head glows briefly with holy light as turns it into a magic weapon +1.

Igfig:

oho

Orrin:

And now, whit your permission.

Varus:

fuck em up

Orrin:

I am fighting the king of evil robots on the back of a dinosaur under a swirling vortex filled with the howling souls of the damned.

Varus:

aw shit

Igfig:

Permission granted

Orrin:

I have refrained from using it on account of I made it OP, but if ever there was a Story I Could Sell.

Varus:

yeah we gotta fix those fate points next campaign

Orrin:

Orrin swings his now-magical hammer at the staggering Lord of Blades.

Orrin:

2#1d20+8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+8: [4] = 12; 1d20+8: [1] = 9

Igfig:

yeah, I have learned a lot about this

Varus:

ARE YOU FUCKIN

Igfig:

hahahaha

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Flanking bonus.

Orrin:

12+1d4+1

Fortuna:

Orrin, 12+1d4+1: [2] = 15

Varus:

HOLY SHIT

Igfig:

wait, you already have advantage, yeah

Orrin:

It's fine, that was only the first one.

Igfig:

wow

Orrin:

Yeah that was just one attack.

Igfig:

he's just staggering so crazy though

Varus:

you miss completely

Varus:

its almost like hes dancing

Orrin:

2#1d20+10+1d4

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20+10+1d4: [1, 3] = 14; 1d20+10+1d4: [13, 2] = 25

Orrin:

There is that better.

Igfig:

there! there you go

server:

Varus quit.

Orrin:

Now.

Orrin:

I can try to knock him off again, or I can heal someone.

server:

tiamat joined #pwot_dnd.

Orrin:

Varus how close are you to dying?

tiamat:

hey guys need some help

Igfig:

tiamat?

tiamat:

i have 18 hp

tiamat:

but im good

Igfig:

It's an honour, ma'am

Varus:

surprise

Igfig:

oh

Varus:

it was me the whole time

Orrin:

Should I try to blast him off or heal someone?

Orrin:

He will resist it.

Varus:

blast him off

Varus:

actually

Varus:

heal me

Orrin:

But we have to burn through the charges eventually.

Orrin:

Very well.

Varus:

so i can use blood determination again

Orrin:

2d6+5

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d6+5: [1, 5] = 11

Varus:

ayyyy

Varus:

unbloodied

Orrin:

He takes 11 damage, and I'll throw another smite in.

Orrin:

Oh no that was my damage.

Igfig:

1d20+8 Str save

Fortuna:

Igfig, Str save: [4] = 12

Orrin:

2d8

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d8: [1, 6] = 7

Igfig:

!!!

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I am thinking I'm going to try and knock him off as well, yar, cause him being on top of me while awesome, has been a bit detrimental, yar.

Igfig:

He has to use his second Legendary Resistance to stay on

Igfig:

and that's 19 more damage, okay

Orrin:

Oh I was just gonna use Divine and heal Waffle.

Orrin:

In the spirit of honesty.

Igfig:

oh, aright

Orrin:

2d6

Fortuna:

Orrin, 2d6: [3, 1] = 4

Orrin:

Waffle are you happy.

Varus:

yes

Varus:

im unbloodied

Orrin:

Well that's probably good then.

Orrin:

Alright, Orrin's done.

Varus:

it means nothing in fifth

Igfig:

Okay, he's taken 100 damage now

Varus:

we've only dealth 100?

Igfig:

well, a little more

Varus:

god damn

Igfig:

but that means

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Ooooh, different idea for song.

Varus:

oh no

Varus:

do we rlly need music

Varus:

to play for 2 hours

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

We always need music.

Varus:

very well

Igfig:

He looks up to the sky, and raises his fist

frosty:

god its anoher hour of this so far

frosty:

we are trucking

Igfig:

"FINISH THE RITUAL. FINISH IT NOW. I NEED THE POWER. MORDAKHESH DO YOU HEAR ME."

Varus:

i message

Arryn:

no way couldve done all this last sesh

Varus:

"more like more dank kush"

Orrin:

MUSTAKRAKEESH, THE LAKE TROLL. AWAKEN.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Nevermind, that song loops terribly, which is weird, but yar.

Igfig:

No answer seems to be forthcoming form the heavens

Varus:

hehe

Varus:

wiat

Varus:

guys what if the thing we took

Varus:

wasnt a heat sync

Varus:

but a limiter

Varus:

so now this portal is going to just

Varus:

absorb the entire world

Orrin:

I guess we'll probably die.

Orrin:

Not a lot we can do about it now.

Varus:

man we rlly fucked up this time

Varus:

no no i can

Varus:

I can DO IT

Varus:

i can close that portal i have the final ultimate backup plan

Orrin:

Can we just kill the guy.

Orrin:

Fuck's sake.

Varus:

that ive saved since session one

Varus:

that i will do

Varus:

after

Varus:

we kill the lord

Igfig:

okay, whose turn is it

Igfig:

Frosty!

Varus:

after orrin

frosty:

"Lol lord of blaze is suuuuuuper fucked"

Varus:

do it

Varus:

do the thing

Varus:

frosty

Varus:

have you reconsidered exploding on him

frosty:

2#1d20+8 fist punches

Fortuna:

frosty, fist punches: [7] = 15; fist punches: [7] = 15

frosty:

hahah

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

While on my back, while next to Arryn and Orrin.

Igfig:

miss

Varus:

well i mean not right now

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Don't forget the 1d4s.

Varus:

but when we get into a position

Varus:

oh right yeah

Varus:

a d4 could boost that to 18

Varus:

2#1d4

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d4: [2] = 2; 1d4: [1] = 1

frosty:

2#1d4

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d4: [4] = 4; 1d4: [1] = 1

Igfig:

:(

Varus:

ur welcome

Igfig:

oh wait!

Varus:

i took the bad rolls for u

frosty:

wooo one hit!

Igfig:

the bad rolls were from varus, heh

Varus:

i SENSED it

frosty:

2d6+5

Fortuna:

frosty, 2d6+5: [4, 3] = 12

Igfig:

One of frosty's attacks hits!

Igfig:

Another solid blow

frosty:

"FROM ONE GOD TO ANOTHER"

Igfig:

from your angle, I think you're slapping his ass

Varus:

good

Varus:

give em a good love tap

Orrin:

"Good game."

Igfig:

118 damage total

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Got another song that loops better, but it fits less with the lord of blades and more with that skeleton army and the ritual thing happening. More so more so the skeleton army.

Varus:

is it spooky scary skeletons

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Sadly no.

Igfig:

Blaze, I think it's your turn? Does Frosty have anything left to do?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

On the bright side, if for some inane reason we end up fighting the king of Karrnath we have a theme for it ready.

frosty:

nope

Varus:

wonder what that dudes up to anyways

Igfig:

Oh, LoB does anohter armblade swipe

Igfig:

1d20+8 vs Frosty AC

Fortuna:

Igfig, vs Frosty AC: [12] = 20

Igfig:

1d8+4 damage

Fortuna:

Igfig, damage: [7] = 11

frosty:

aight

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Right, so, other then a tail swipe the only stuff I can think of for getting him off of me runs the risk of you guys falling off as well, yar.

Varus:

theyre still protected by the sculpt

Varus:

for the last turn of the cloud anyways

Varus:

so i think its worth

Varus:

doing a barrel roll

Igfig:

you're so close packed I don't think a tail swipe would be safe anyway

Orrin:

I'd be more worried about us being crushed than the cloud.

frosty:

oh hey i am like super bloodied now or w/e

Orrin:

But if you just want to flail wildly yeah it'd be much worse for him than any of us.

Varus:

SUPER bloodied

Varus:

whatll it be blaze

frosty:

28/103

Fortuna:

frosty, 28/103: [] = 0

Varus:

dang

frosty:

oh man im 0 now

frosty:

thanks Fortuna

Fortuna:

You're welcome.

Igfig:

28.0/103

Fortuna:

Igfig, 28.0/103: [] = 0.27184466019417475

Varus:

nope, you still have 0.3 hp left

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Like, most surefire idea is me flipping myself, which yeah, runs the risk of everyone getting crushed, though you guys haven't moved actually, you guys haven't moved so you could maybe move?

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

they delayed movements until now

Varus:

they leap off

Orrin:

Well, you'd have to wait till the cloud dissipates for that.

Varus:

and blaze floomps

Igfig:

You'll all have Dex saves to not get crushed

Varus:

you guys are protected

frosty:

aight

Varus:

sculpted

Orrin:

I'm saying we already went.

Orrin:

And don't have moves.

frosty:

i can dex save

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And you'd have +4+1d4s to your saves.

Igfig:

but you'll have advantage because Blaze is your bro

Varus:

ok

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

that soudns like a goodplan

Varus:

you guys have a good chance of makin it

Orrin:

I'd rather not retcon an emergency Chinese Fire Drill on the back of a dinosaur.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

True true, yar.

Varus:

ahaha

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

So yeah.

Varus:

ROLL IT

Orrin:

That's pretty metagamey.

Orrin:

For us all to have delayed moves.

Varus:

yeah

Arryn:

I SAID TO ROLL LIKE 3 HOURS AGO

Orrin:

How much do you weigh now?

Varus:

dont worry aobut it

Varus:

me too arryn

Varus:

well ive been saying barrelroll

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'm going to start swinging my tail to build up momentum, and I want to fling myself so I flip forwards, tail over head.

Varus:

for extra meme'ing

Igfig:

don't worry about it Orrin, turns are an abstraction anyway

Varus:

wow

Orrin:

That's fine, but the "coordinated dodge" angle is pretty unbelievable. I'll but errbody just saving though.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

And because he's been getting a free ride on top of me right now, I'd like to invoke Untamed, Unbound to give the Lord of Blades disadvantage on the roll.

Orrin:

And hey, it's not like we'll be crushed to death if we fuck up.

Igfig:

heh, sure thing

Varus:

awwwyis

Varus:

also blaze we all meant a horizontal roll

Varus:

but fuckin sure whatever

Igfig:

everybody, Dex saves

Varus:

not me

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Flips are funner, involves more crushing.

Varus:

with advantage, and +4 and +1d4

Igfig:

2#1d20+2

Fortuna:

Igfig, 1d20+2: [19] = 21; 1d20+2: [12] = 14

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+9+1d4: [13, 2] = 24; 1d20+9+1d4: [17, 2] = 28

Arryn:

2#1d20+8+1d4

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+8+1d4: [15, 1] = 24; 1d20+8+1d4: [5, 4] = 17

Varus:

whats the dc for this anyways

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

So the question then is, am I rolling anything to oppose or what?

Varus:

since lord got 14

Varus:

not 15

frosty:

im dabes

Igfig:

let's say Blaze's spell save DC

Orrin:

Are you staying a dinosaur Blaze?

Varus:

that

Varus:

doesnt make any sense id think

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Oh hey, that'd be a handy dandy 16.

Varus:

SURE THAT WORKS

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yup, I'm still a dinosaur, yar.

Igfig:

or you could make a Str check I guess, either way

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

It'd be the same if we go with strength right now too.

Orrin:

Can I just stay on his back since I crit?

Igfig:

heh, sure

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Do a spell save based on strength dc.

Igfig:

that sounds fair

Orrin:

Orrin doesn't move his feet at all.

Varus:

he goes with the flow

Igfig:

well either way I think the LoB is caught

Orrin:

Rides out that dinosaur frontflip like it happens every morning.

Orrin:

He is like water.

Varus:

yeh he is

Varus:

whats the damage

Varus:

how much does dino weight

Igfig:

for damage... same as your tail, but he's also pinned

Igfig:

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, bludgeoning and I forgot earlier my attacks count as magical for the ignoring of resistance.: [5, 2, 2, 1] = 14

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

1d4 for fire.

Fortuna:

Blaze_Ankylosaurus, for fire.: [1] = 1

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

He's super pinned, yar.

Igfig:

you get stabbed something painful for sitting ion him

Varus:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ankylosaurus

Igfig:

also, your attacks count as magical?

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Yeah, Circle of Moon bonus I think, or, just druid bonus, either way yar.

Igfig:

oh nice

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

They have for like the whole campaign actually.

Varus:

Igfig:

133 damage

Varus:

Varus:

that is 3 hits

Orrin:

IF YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN

server:

frosty claps

Varus:

if that means anything

Igfig:

this needs to made a little more dramatic, then

Varus:

hmmm

Varus:

sure

Orrin:

That's an interesting lore question. Having other parts of their bodies removed never seems to bother them.

Orrin:

Oh he ded.

Orrin:

I can leap down and smush his head if it feels cooler? we all just beat up his corpse a little?

Varus:

Varus spots his head sprawling after the shaking from the crash subsides,

Orrin:

PUT THE WAND IN HIS MOUTH.

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Wait is he? I called dibs earlier on a final taunt before he dies.

Igfig:

as you walk toward him, you can see him struggling to lift the dinosaur weight off of himself

Varus:

IM GUNNA ORRIN

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

I'd like to add the word futilely to that sentence.

Varus:

actually

Varus:

can i finish with my wand guns

frosty:

you need the silver flame wand for it

Igfig:

his eyes blaze up at you menacingly, and even with him all but helpless you're still given pause, if only for a moment

Varus:

silver flame wand was plugged into my wands

Varus:

i mean

Varus:

into my guns

Varus:

i can still do the gun force shoot that i have from them though

Orrin:

"Lord of Blades" returns a surprising number of pictures of attractive women in bikinis and/or lingerie.

Igfig:

the sheer rage and hatred therein

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

That's weird.

Orrin:

I mean really any pictures of attractive women would be surprising, but it's like... half the results.

Varus:

igfig

Varus:

is it time for my one liner

Varus:

as i pull the trigger

frosty:

"some god"

Igfig:

it can be

Igfig:

it can be

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Oh, I figured out why.

Varus:

very well

Varus:

i stroll up

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Some guy with a deviantart account named Lord of Blades uploaded those.

Varus:

place my gun right at his head

Igfig:

yeah

Orrin:

He's gotta stay conscious long enough for Blaze to taunt him, too.

Orrin:

He called dibs forever ago.

Varus:

"you were never a god, so pick one and pray"

Varus:

i fire

Orrin:

Oooh, not bad.

Orrin:

Orrin nods appreciatively.

Varus:

blaze do your thing too I GUESS

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Technically my final taunt can happen after he is dead too, but I think it would have more punch if he can at least try to protest it, yar.

Orrin:

I'll heal him 1 hp.

Varus:

HAH

Varus:

then let blaze rekill him

Orrin:

So each of us can taunt him.

frosty:

"HEY, I CAME BACK, LETS TEST YOUR GODHOOD, TRY IT"

Orrin:

And kill him.

frosty:

NAILED IT

Blaze_Ankylosaurus:

Sounds petty, and fun, I approve of this plan.

Varus:

man this seriously ruins the drama of the moemnt

Igfig:

let's just say you each get a chance to make one taunt before he dies

Varus:

i did mine

Varus:

frosty did his

Varus:

whats arryns orrins and blaze's?

server:

frosty moons him again

Igfig:

like, taunt, Varus shoots a ray, taunt, another ray, etc

Varus:

sure

Varus:

blaze gets the last one

Varus:

so orrin whats yours

server:

Arryn one last raise of the middlefingerfucker, silently

Orrin:

Orrin sizes up the Lord of Blades' mangled body.

Varus:

great one arryn

Orrin:

"I bet I can get at least a couple weeks a free drinks out of that. You've made an old fleshbag very happy."

Igfig:

Light streams from the Lord of Blades' eyes as the fire pounds into his head, the heat building

Varus:

AND NOW BLAZE

Varus:

TAKE IT HOME

server:

Blaze_Half-Elf leans in close to his head ignoring the heat.

Varus:

blaze relishes in the heat

Igfig:

he doesn't respond to your taunts any more, just stares straight ahead

Igfig:

a high keening is heard from far off

Blaze_Half-Elf:

"You know what the saddest thing about you is? You have free will. You could have been anything. But instead, you were too afraid to do that. You remained a slave to what the fleshies had built you for."

Varus:

OH SHIT

Varus:

ITS TRUE

Orrin:

Ooooooh.

Varus:

i never even thought of that

Orrin:

Blaze bringin' the REAL shit.

Orrin:

We strike this pose.

Orrin:

http://i.imgur.com/tu67gNI.jpg

Varus:

OBVIOUSLY

Igfig:

A burning orange crack spreads across his face, bisecting his ghul'ra sigil

Igfig:

it brightens to yellow, then white

Varus:

where the fuck is chain

Arryn:

http://i.imgur.com/WGMO0aQ.gif this is me v lob

Igfig:

and then his head splits in half, spilling gears and charred fibres across the fround

Igfig:

ground

Orrin:

Probably still on the sunken boat trying to figure out what happened to the heat sink.

Varus:

hah

Igfig:

and his body slumps

Igfig:

defeated

Varus:

man i am SO satisfied that we finally fucking killed the lord of blades

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yar, oh man, if that thing is so important, then my guess as to what Chain did is probably not going to end well for him.

Igfig:

Congratulations

Orrin:

http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_melfua8xl61qzj6elo1_500.gif Orrin vs. LOB

Varus:

what do you think blaze?

server:

frosty teabag the corpse

Igfig:

The keening is getting louder

Varus:

we have a few tihngs we need to do still

Varus:

the keening

Varus:

the portal

Varus:

frosty exploding

Blaze_Half-Elf:

He wants a god for his people, the Lord of Blades was performing a ritual to become a god.

Varus:

the rest of the warforged still sieging the castle

Orrin:

I imagine we can probably save Frosty.

Igfig:

and... the clouds, they seem to be retreating?

Orrin:

Jaela knows a thing or two about fire.

Varus:

was chain gunna steal the thing

Varus:

steal the godhood i mean

Blaze_Half-Elf:

That's just the guess I came up with, yar.

Igfig:

They're being drawn back, toward the vortex it looks like

Orrin:

Oh man, I hope Chain becomes a god.

Orrin:

But like... a nice one.

Varus:

hmmm

frosty:

i am the only god

Varus:

the portal wouldnt just go away

Varus:

if the lord died

Igfig:

but the keening is getting louder

Orrin:

I mean the souls are still down there.

Igfig:

no, not just louder

Igfig:

nearer

Orrin:

This ocean bout to be haunted as fuck.

Varus:

aw man

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I'm not sure how nice of a god you can be when the ritual being used was provided by such unpleasant sources.

Varus:

yeah remember the godforged we found

Varus:

hey you know

Varus:

if warforged can live underwater

Varus:

the godforged are still down there

Orrin:

I dunno, if you KNEW that it was gonna happen and chose to take it to prevent LoB from getting it, you can't be THAT bad.

Varus:

we can save them still

Orrin:

Truth.

frosty:

my ritual was sourced by varus and i am a great god

Igfig:

a shadow falls across the city as the keening reaches an ear-splitting level

Varus:

you arent a god yet

frosty:

good gods from bad places

Varus:

and may never be since we lost the bead

Varus:

unless you want to do something with a portal to the plane of fire

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yar, but I'm thinking he got the plans for that ritual from the demon guys, yar. Either way though, while we're speculating something potentially bad is about to happen, yar.

Igfig:

and you see that the clouds weren't retreating back into the vortex

Varus:

aw man

Orrin:

"Guys I think that skeleton army wants something."

Igfig:

but rather into the thing that is approaching

Varus:

its like how air is dragged in before a nuclear explosion right

Arryn:

"WHAT?"

Igfig:

a cloud of blood-stained steel knives

Varus:

oh

Igfig:

half a mile long

Varus:

so that was the glittering things

Varus:

what the dicks

frosty:

army of the dead

Varus:

i bet its fucking chain

Igfig:

trailing behind a vision of horror

Varus:

ok guys we need to close the portal i think

Orrin:

I think it's probably too late for that.

Varus:

maybe not

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh, wait, Lord of Blade's soul, all the other dead people's went into that, yar.

Varus:

closing the portal could sever the connection

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure ol' Necroking is gonna get whatever he came here for.

Igfig:

one hundred feet of splintered planks, shattered rigging, and... teeth?

Varus:

ewwww

Orrin:

THE FROSTY IS A GOD

Varus:

teeth are gross

Varus:

WAIT WHAT

Igfig:

Flesh pulsing beneath its deck

Varus:

OH GOD

Varus:

MY EXPERIMENTS

Igfig:

the wreck of the HMS Frosty

Orrin:

Did... did you put Thakashtai in the thing?

frosty:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Varus:

OH CHRIST

Orrin:

Did we make your girlfriend into a horrorboat that can CARRY US AROUND ON BEST FRIEND ADVENTURES?

frosty:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Varus:

WHY IS FROSTY WOOING

Igfig:

drawing the clouds across the landscape into itself

Varus:

this IS ANYTHING BUT WOO WORTHY

frosty:

THIS IS THE BEST

Igfig:

a crimson cloak drawn across the land

Varus:

doo you think ben could still get into the dragon shard

Blaze_Half-Elf:

You know what, I'm thinking I'm going to link that song I mentioned earlier.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRWQXQW14B4E476721&d=1508,1518,1546,1577,1613

Igfig:

and beneath it a rain of clotted blood

Orrin:

I think the safe place he put Thakastai was in the Frosty's thing.

frosty:

my boat is AWESOME

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

im thinking that

Orrin:

She's a nightmare horrorbeast, if a very friendly one.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Nah we brought the shards with us I thought.

Varus:

we left them in the forsty

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh dear.

Orrin:

This seems like somethign she'd do.

Igfig:

I think you brought them with you, but not 100% sure on that

frosty:

yes

frosty:

i did

Igfig:

as it passes over, your hearts are filled with rage, a lust for wanton destruction

Varus:

hmm

frosty:

ALWAYS

Varus:

blaze id imagine lavos's theme more

Varus:

we need to destroy that thing dont we

frosty:

NO

Orrin:

I'm hearing Divinity 1 from Advent Children.

Orrin:

I doubt it.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Lavos is more pure destruction entity, this thing seems a more blood rage chaos entity.

Varus:

isnt that sort of the same thing

Igfig:

but just as all are about to fall to tearing at each other

Igfig:

it passes

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Flavor wise no not really.

Orrin:

Even if he hand't told us LoB was the final boss, I doubt we could hurt whatever is going on up there.

Igfig:

and departs, screaming, to the northwest

frosty:

THIS IS MY INNER CONSCIOUS BROUGHT TO LIFE

Varus:

thats not true

frosty:

AND IT IS GOOD

Varus:

my super final plan could still destory that

Orrin:

"Bye!"

Igfig:

well, more to the west actually

server:

frosty salute

Orrin:

There's room in Orrin's credo for men, women and immortal celestial beings of pure terror of all shapes and sizes.

Varus:

isnt west

frosty:

lets follow it

Varus:

to that flamekeep place

Varus:

lets

Varus:

lets hijack a boat and follow it

Varus:

or

Igfig:

over Thrane, over Aundair, over the Eldeen Reaches, all the way to the Demon Wastes

Varus:

or

Orrin:

It is, but it's also to a pretty hefty portion of civilized Eberron.

Orrin:

See, it already has a home.

Varus:

we can ride on giant eagleb;aze

Igfig:

that's where it's going, I'l just tell you now

frosty:

so proud

Varus:

hey blaze

frosty:

i am a proud father

Varus:

wanna giant eagle carry us around

Orrin:

"We're gonna need a new ship."

Igfig:

far faster than you can fly, faster than the Frosty at its fastest

Varus:

so like

Varus:

25 mph

Igfig:

and then is gone.

Orrin:

Mach 2.

Igfig:

A silence falls over the battlefield.

Varus:

is the portal still hagning around in the sky

Orrin:

Raining clotted blood and human teeth all the way.

Igfig:

the portal is gone

Varus:

ok

Blaze_Half-Elf:

"Giant Eagles aren't big enough for to carry all of you, and... I'm feeling pretty good on the ground right now."

Varus:

so everythings fine like nothing even happened

Varus:

except that thing is gone

frosty:

2#1d20+8 faster than the speed of light

Fortuna:

frosty, faster than the speed of light: [17] = 25; faster than the speed of light: [10] = 18

Varus:

raining blood and teeth

Igfig:

if it was even a portal

Orrin:

Well, the city is in ruins.

Varus:

what in GODS name

frosty:

it went fast

Varus:

did you DO ben

Igfig:

you don't know

Varus:

we need to follow it

Orrin:

I'm good.

frosty:

i have no clue but it is good

Igfig:

but evidently the Lord of Blades was not the intended target of that ritual

Orrin:

I feel like we've pretty much done enough to clear our records.

Varus:

well

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

but

frosty:

oh shit

Varus:

varus wants to know what the fuck that thing is

frosty:

oh shit

Varus:

who was thefucking target

frosty:

DAMMIT

Varus:

tharakashai?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So yeah, Chain did something but not the something I thought, and probably for the best cause holy cow that would have been a horrible transformation for anything sentient.

Igfig:

(in fact, I'll tell you now: the intended target was Chydris, but due to your efforts the ritual wasn't strong enough to work with something that big)

Varus:

or chain

Varus:

ayyy

frosty:

oh well

Varus:

oh god

Orrin:

Cuz we took the thaaang.

Orrin:

Good call, Orrin.

Varus:

imagine if the chydris turned into that thing

Varus:

we need to destroy that thing

Varus:

its going to rain demonic hellfire onto everything

Igfig:

you took the thing, and even more importantly you kept Chydris from reaching its intended desitnation

Varus:

wait so that means tharakashai is TRAPPED on it

frosty:

no

Blaze_Half-Elf:

No she wasn't on the ship, Frosty kept them on him so they couldn't be stolen again.

Orrin:

It seemed pretty intent on just going to the DEMON WASTES, I don't think it's likely to hurt anyone there.

Igfig:

thakashtai's right here

Varus:

oh ok

Igfig:

in any case

Arryn:

pay attention

Varus:

what sit gunna find at the demon wastes though

Orrin:

Demons, presumably.

Orrin:

Maybe wastes, also.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

More demonso to work with.

Varus:

it has a purpose going there

Varus:

theres going to be another army i bet

Varus:

a demon one

Varus:

and thats way worse than warforged

Varus:

demons can DO stuff

Orrin:

Well, there are a lot of other people in the world.

Orrin:

I'm sure five of them can look after it for a couple days.

Igfig:

the warforged, getting the idea that this was not how things were supposed to go, and not a good sign for them

Arryn:

the demons we fought today were chumps

Varus:

those are like the weakest demons

Igfig:

begin to retreat

Igfig:

because there's no way we're finishing this battle now

Varus:

ofc

frosty:

"BYE BYE"

Varus:

what would you call this part of the story we just entered?

Varus:

its not act 3 anymore

Igfig:

Season 2

Varus:

haha

Varus:

sure ill take that

Orrin:

I mean I'd have to imagine seeing their king fall and their ritual fail, they'd be pretty willing to quit.

Varus:

varus is viciously curious in this thing

Orrin:

I hope they just walk back into the water.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

The season finale hook.

Orrin:

Slowly.

Orrin:

Acting like nothing happened.

Igfig:

This story is done. All that's left is the epilogue

Arryn:

wooooo

frosty:

woooo

Igfig:

a few loose ends you might want tied up

Varus:

yes

Varus:

like

Igfig:

so we can do the rest of this almost montage style

Varus:

you mentioned we had other ways to make frosty stronger

Varus:

what else could we have done

Orrin:

Did Chumpy McChump ever regain his dignity?

Varus:

wheres that guy whose house we burned down

Igfig:

jumping to whatever scene we want to handle

Varus:

what was up with the king actually being alive

Igfig:

chumpy mcchump?

Orrin:

That gnome.

Varus:

and WHERE IS CHAIN

Orrin:

That I made shit himself.

Igfig:

gnome?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

The thieve's guildish guy who said the shards were already full.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yeah that guy.

Varus:

i think that was

Varus:

the first session

Orrin:

The crime lord guy who started all this bullshit.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Second.

Igfig:

oh, that guy who knows

Igfig:

back in Sharn

Orrin:

Still shaking.

Varus:

igfig WHERE THE DICKS IS CHAIN

Orrin:

Dying, cold and alone.

Igfig:

Chain, well

Orrin:

They had to close that tavern because he never stopped pooping.

Arryn:

i guess i go back to home now job done

Igfig:

let's fast forward a bit

Varus:

better question

Orrin:

You could always spend a little time in idle luxury, Arryn.

Varus:

whered he go during our fight in the engine room

Blaze_Half-Elf:

To disrupt the ritual somehow, yar.

Varus:

yeah what are our characters going to do

Igfig:

to when the first exploration team enters the sunken wreck of the Chydris

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure we've got an open tab wherever we go for at least a little while.

Varus:

well i mean are we going to spit up

Varus:

cause i have a vague idea of what varus wants to do

Orrin:

Finally acknowledge your unspoken attraction to Orrin.

Varus:

that was never unspoken

Igfig:

they find the top split open like an orange, the forge and evreything around it completely gone

Varus:

seemin' like chain was evil the whole time you guys

Igfig:

and in two rooms in the back section, one on each side

Arryn:

i defend breland from the shadows, this is the end of just another mission

Varus:

yeah that makes sense for arryn

Varus:

until shes hired again

Varus:

or sent on a job

Arryn:

another day another dollar

Orrin:

I don't think he's evil, I think he just wanted to do what was right for his people and got into bed with the wrong guy because of it.

Igfig:

great numbers of dead limbless warforged

Igfig:

one of them is covered in mithril tracery

Varus:

aw

Varus:

chain died horribly

Varus:

probably got like

Varus:

eaten by the boat

Orrin:

Or just discovered during the engine room fight and dismembered.

Varus:

that is also true

Igfig:

yeah, all the godforged's souls got eaten

Orrin:

Or he replaced his plates with different plates and walks among us even now.

Varus:

thats butts

frosty:

eaten by my son

Varus:

i feel bad that i doubted him

Varus:

oh god

Orrin:

But probably yeah he was devoured.

Igfig:

Okay, let's rewind back to the aftermath of the battle now

Orrin:

You should.

Varus:

its not frosty's son

Varus:

dont even say that

Varus:

this isnt another case of fartfignuggen

Orrin:

It kind of is.

frosty:

i am a proud father

Igfig:

if you guys want to deal with Kaius

Orrin:

We seem to have something of a track record of accidentally creating deities.

Orrin:

Oh yeah.

Igfig:

or we can look somewhere else

Varus:

yeah whats up with that dude

Varus:

i thought he was dead

Orrin:

I feel liek we ought to at least figure out why he showed up with a bitchin' skeleton army and then did jack shit to help.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So like, we just walk ask to him and go "Hey, we uh, we saw you dead in a house."

frosty:

hes a vampire!!!!!

frosty:

sorry ig

Igfig:

well, when you eventually get a chance to talk to him

Varus:

he was fighting the warforged

Igfig:

dammit frosty

Orrin:

"You were a lot deader last time I saw you, Your Majesty."

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

orrin says that

Blaze_Half-Elf:

The warforged had set up defenses at the harbor, yar.

Varus:

undead army is prob contributing to the reason the warforged fled

Arryn:

"You told me he was dead?"

Varus:

and the people in the castle are still alive

Varus:

"I guarantee you he was dead"

Orrin:

"I promise, he was super dead when we found him."

server:

Arryn rolls eyes

Igfig:

"Rumours of my death have been, as they say, greatly exaggerated."

Varus:

"WE SAW YOUR CORPSE"

Varus:

"WE POKED IT"

Orrin:

"I don't want to stereotype, but the black fleet of skeleton boats leads me to believe that he can probably be both dead and walking around."

Varus:

"orrin proves to be racist once again"

Varus:

"first the minotaurs now this"

frosty:

"hey, dudes, i came back to life too, be chill"

Igfig:

"The corpse you found was an imposter. A very clever imposter. I am very much alive."

Orrin:

"IT WAS TASTEFUL CLIP-CLOPPING."

Varus:

"who was the imposter then"

Blaze_Half-Elf:

"Also they were centaurs."

Orrin:

"And yet, still looking very dead for all that."

Arryn:

"Good to see you alive, long may you stay that way"

Igfig:

"But knowing that someone wished to make it appear I was dead, I chose to conceal the fact of my survival until they made their move. Although I must say, I expected to meet them at Thaliost, not here."

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh wait, Blaze wasn't there for the tasteful clip-clopping.

Varus:

da fuck is thalios

frosty:

"aww i thought you were another member of the was dead but now better club"

Varus:

also WE WERE ONE STEP AHEAD BITCH

Orrin:

"Since you're up and about, though, would you mind telling the Sharn city guard that we did not, in fact, kill you?"

frosty:

"LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME"

Varus:

man though imagine if the chydris turned into that thing

Varus:

we'd be FUCKED

frosty:

"LAME LAME LAME"

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I thought we had already convinced them of that, and we were being arrested for stealing the dragonshards?

Igfig:

"Of course."

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

blaze is right

Orrin:

Some of them.

Igfig:

To those of you with Insight, something seems a little off about his story though.

Varus:

1d20+6

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20+6: [5] = 11

Varus:

welp

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Do I need to roll or nah?

Orrin:

1d20

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20: [11] = 11

Igfig:

you can't place what it is, but there's something he's not telling you.

Arryn:

1d20+2

Fortuna:

Arryn, 1d20+2: [1] = 3

Varus:

1d4

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d4: [3] = 3

Varus:

13

Varus:

14*

Arryn:

LEGIT

Orrin:

Probably that he's a vampire, but the BLACK ARMY OF SKELETON BOATS is still kinda giving it away.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I think the Bless wore off, also bless isn't for skill checks.

Varus:

oh ok

Varus:

also yeah

Varus:

the skeleton army says some things

frosty:

1d20+1

Fortuna:

frosty, 1d20+1: [12] = 13

Orrin:

"So uh... you wanna get something to eat?"

Igfig:

the imposter story seems a little unlikely, for one."

Varus:

hopefully there is a tavern int his city that hasnt been destroyed

Varus:

well since frosty spoiled it

Varus:

i dont think we really need to investigate that anymore

Igfig:

"I must decline your invitation. There is much to be done."

Varus:

so lets move onto the next question

Varus:

what other ways were there to make frosty stronger?

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Like, I feel like not rolling cause my passive perception is higher then everything you guys got, yar.

Igfig:

there is actually a huge story there, but yeah I don't think you're equipped with the information you'd need to investigate it further right now

Varus:

also what would have happened if i completed the ritual spell to fuse the bead with frosty

Igfig:

that's a very good question

Orrin:

"You'll understand if we don't offer to pitch in. I've done enough world-saving for a couple days."

Orrin:

Actually, to go a step further, what the fuck was the bead even.

frosty:

im still a god either way so w/e

Igfig:

the same thing that would have happened if you'd put Frosty in the Forge

Varus:

i thought the forge was just a machine

Igfig:

in any case

Varus:

you couldnt actually put anything in

Igfig:

it's more than just a machine

Varus:

i assumed some kind of wacky soul connection to whoever is benefiting from it

Varus:

so ben would have turned into that thing that our ship turned into?

frosty:

omg

Igfig:

and it's definitely a thing you put sutff in. Warforged bodies go in one side, live warforged come out the other side

Igfig:

Nope

Orrin:

Probably not.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Oh man I just realized, the S.S. Frosty ate the Forge too.

Varus:

ohhh ok

Orrin:

Unless he was in there the whole ritual.

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

Yeah that I actually feel kinda bad about.

Varus:

so if i fused ben with the bead?

frosty:

HAHAHHAHAHHA

Igfig:

You do need to figure out something to stabilize Frosty though

Orrin:

Seeing as now the warforged are kinda doomed.

frosty:

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Blaze_Half-Elf:

That's like, super way worse then just the eating of the Godforged.

Varus:

igfig you never answered properly

Orrin:

I was gonna ask Jaela about it.

frosty:

I LOVE YOU SON

Varus:

what would have happened to ben

Orrin:

She knows her way around a flame, that kid.

Igfig:

if Ben was in there, somebody would probably have killed him and then done the ritual anyway

Varus:

aw

Varus:

so he would have died if i fused him with the bead

Orrin:

We also flooded the whole ship.

Varus:

so how the fuck are we gunna fix ben

Igfig:

no

Orrin:

So he would definitely died.

Varus:

???

frosty:

yes flamekid and i can have a discussion on our respective gods

Orrin:

We're gonna ask Jaela.

Varus:

yeah lets ask jaela about that then

Igfig:

okay

Varus:

i still wanna fuse ben with the silver flame

Orrin:

TO FLAMEKEEP.

Varus:

DUNDUNDUDNUDNUDNDUNDUN

Orrin:

I suspect we'd have to murder a LOT of priests to make that happen.

Varus:

DUNANANANANANANA

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

yeah we would

Orrin:

So maybe once we tame the Demon Frosty.

Igfig:

I was really hoping to have this be a more complex moment but it is super late so I'll make it quick

Orrin:

We could also just do a montage later this week.

Orrin:

If you'd rather.

Varus:

id rather begin talking about my level 20 thing

Igfig:

They're not going to fuse Frosty with the Silver Flane, that'd be hugely sacrilege

Varus:

yeah obvy

Varus:

thats why i want to do it

frosty:

well theology says all good souls meld with the flame after death so since i was dead it would work!

Orrin:

We've been on this campaign for a minute, I don't want to end it in 5 minutes because it's late.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I don't think we're going to be talking about the level 20 thing tonight, yar.

Orrin:

"Good" is a strong word for you, Frosty.

Varus:

i know

Varus:

i mean later

frosty:

i am a good god

Varus:

no elementals go back to their plane

Igfig:

but they are willing to try some of the things they do to cultivate the Silver Flame

Orrin:

Also true.

Varus:

when you were dead you went to the plane of fire

Varus:

yeah igfig just explain it properly

Igfig:

and channel some of the ancient power of the couatls into Frosty

Varus:

coffee exists for a reason

frosty:

hahaha they are doing god things to me

Igfig:

and that, combined with what you scrape together of your remembered ritual

frosty:

this is great

Orrin:

True to his word, Orrin also asks Jaela if the Silver Flame would be so kind as to provide him with a new lute.

Igfig:

is enough to finally bring what was happening to completion

Varus:

next time on eberron: we kill priests and ben seduces the silver flame

Orrin:

Since he smashed up his old one saving the world from a robo-god apocalypse.

Varus:

true

Igfig:

the instability was because you were undergoing a metamorphosis, but were stuck

Varus:

cause someone decided to just eat the fucking thing

Igfig:

you went halfway, and then stopped at the worst possible time

Varus:

instead of letting me do my research

Igfig:

and by massaging the metamorphosis the rest of the way through

Varus:

i was only a week away

Orrin:

Sounds like Frosty was a real *steals his sunglasses and puts them on* hothead.

Igfig:

here is what happens

Varus:

OOOH

Varus:

SO THE THING SUCCEEDED

frosty:

"thank you for your help with my ascension"

Varus:

ohhoohho

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

He explodes, killing everyone.

Varus:

this is pretty much his ascension

Igfig:

Frosty switches his Str and Dex scores...

Orrin:

Orrin, already firmly ensconced in the tavern, is unharmed.

Varus:

wait

Varus:

is that it

Varus:

no its not ok

Varus:

i see those periods at the end now

Igfig:

gains the ability to hurl flame for 5d6 damage

Varus:

dang boy

frosty:

wooo

frosty:

i am god

Varus:

instead of throwing barrels

Igfig:

and his flame compresses and solidifies

Varus:

hes become a real boy

Orrin:

You should still make the fireballs shaped like barrels for old times' sake.

Orrin:

Ha you're a fleshy.

Varus:

true

Varus:

he became a fleshy

frosty:

i am solid fire

Varus:

just like us

Orrin:

Let me tell you all about sex, Frosty.

Igfig:

he can't engulf people any longer, but his attacks with weapons (which he can now hold) deal an extra 1d6 damage

Igfig:

he also grows small horns

Varus:

yup

Igfig:

and an actual face

Igfig:

and he is, in fact

Varus:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

Igfig:

now

Orrin:

That's pretty gangster.

Igfig:

an efreet

Varus:

what the dicks is an efreet

Orrin:

Ha! I was gonna say that exact thing.

Orrin:

When you said he switched his scores.

Varus:

http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Efreeti

Orrin:

Except I was gonna spell it ifrit.

frosty:

http://fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/2010/096/1/1/Efreet_Warlord_by_JasonEngle.jpg

Igfig:

that

Varus:

hmmm

Varus:

thats pretty rad

Orrin:

But I'm pretty sure that word has spelled with every combination of vowels possible across all the fantasy canons that have used it.

Varus:

is it stronger than what he is right now

Igfig:

a genie of fire

Varus:

would he still have been able to control the frosty

Varus:

well

Igfig:

the rulers of the elemental planes

Varus:

can he now i guess

Varus:

YEAHHHHH

Igfig:

he would, yeah

frosty:

I AM GOD

Varus:

not a god

Varus:

a ruler

Igfig:

well, not the ruler

Varus:

got a ways to go there buddy

Varus:

lets combine you with the silver flame next

Orrin:

You are, at the absolute best, God-adjacent.

Igfig:

like, one of the least powerful efreet, you don't even have all the efreet powers yet

Varus:

just to see what happend

Varus:

happens*

server:

frosty "MWAHAHAH"

Varus:

ahaha

Varus:

not even god adjacent

Igfig:

also, because they did all this silverflame stuff to get you here, you're not red, but rather silvery

Varus:

hes not even demi god

Varus:

cooooool

frosty:

oooo

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So like, a Duke?

frosty:

niiice

Varus:

now hes a deviant art anime caracter

Orrin:

Like an Earl.

Varus:

that sounds about right

Orrin:

One of those titles that doesn't really mean anything but sounds very impressive to peasants.

Varus:

the single weakest one of the all

Igfig:

maybe like a sheik, in theory

Blaze_Half-Elf:

So, fire elementals would probably straight up just listen to him then, maybe.

Varus:

yeah

Orrin:

Probably.

Varus:

prboably

frosty:

i am gonna need hella help getting my character sheet together

Blaze_Half-Elf:

And yar, sheik would fit more considering the aesthetics of the efreeti.

Igfig:

mayhap

Igfig:

and yeah, we can work on that

Varus:

so igfig: what other ways could we make ben stronger through the adventure

Varus:

you mentioned it once that we missed ways to do it

Igfig:

Putting him in the forge was the main way you missed

Igfig:

that would have just done it right away

frosty:

but my diety has changed from "some say so" to "yes"

Blaze_Half-Elf:

What happens to the magic sink that was in him then?

Varus:

that would have made him into an effret thing right

Varus:

ya

Varus:

yeah what about the heat sink thing

Orrin:

We were on kind of a short schedule then.

Igfig:

oh yeah, the sink is now free to be used as an actual item

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Did we just take it out or yar.

Varus:

that too

Varus:

coolio

Orrin:

Dibs.

Igfig:

it grants magic resistance to the one carrying it

Varus:

no

Orrin:

I'm the tank.

Varus:

YOU HAVE ENOUGH DEFENSE

Orrin:

And the one who suggested we steal it.

Varus:

we arent min maxing this shit

Orrin:

And the greedy one.

Igfig:

resistance to magic damage, and advantage on saves vs spells

frosty:

I AM THE GOD

Igfig:

needs attunement

Varus:

orrin

Varus:

lets flip a coin for it

Orrin:

You definitely don't get it, Frosty.

Varus:

gamble

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Varus you are already pretty good for dealing with spells sent your way though, yar.

frosty:

i will eat it again

Orrin:

Yeah you can block all that shit.

Igfig:

Also, the Church of the Silver Flame wants their relics back

Varus:

orrin lets gamblethis shit

server:

frosty eats it again

Varus:

frosty

Igfig:

unless you're going to skip out on them

Varus:

can you

server:

Blaze_Half-Elf hands over the staff.

Varus:

eat my wand

Varus:

so that we can keep it

frosty:

yes

Orrin:

Orrin looks sadly at his magic shield.

Varus:

ben eats my fire wand

Orrin:

"Very nice, that."

Varus:

I slap my knee like GOSH DARNIT BEN

Varus:

but really im happy

frosty:

i didnt

frosty:

but i could

Orrin:

Varus roll a d20.

Varus:

1d20

Fortuna:

Varus, 1d20: [17] = 17

frosty:

i do eat the sink

Orrin:

High rollg ets the heat sink.

Varus:

eat shit orrin

Orrin:

You bastard.

Orrin:

1d20

Fortuna:

Orrin, 1d20: [7] = 7

Varus:

yoooo

Varus:

varus takes the heat sink

frosty:

too late i ate it

Igfig:

basically any kind of scheme or rascalry will keep them for you, it's just a matter of how much you want to antagonize the church

Orrin:

Enjoy never using it becuase you're going to shield that shit anyway.

Orrin:

Can I just ask nicely?

Orrin:

"This thing is extremely handy. I would be dead and you would be worshipping a robot god if I didn't have it."

Arryn:

uhhh

Arryn:

saying theyd be worshipping a robot

Igfig:

if you want to keep working for them, you can hold onto it for as long as you're actively serving them

Arryn:

probly wont help

Varus:

i hand them one of my old random wands and tell them that when the vortex was sucking up souls it tore the power from my fire wand

Varus:

wands*

Varus:

since it works in 2

Varus:

so i hand them my old fire wands

Varus:

like sorry guys

Varus:

soul vortex magic can fuck with stuff

Igfig:

or you could change your patron deity and join the Church of the Silver Flame

Varus:

yeah fcuk that

Orrin:

"Seriously, I broke my favorite lute and almost died because y'all apparently didn't have one paladin better than me to fight the robot apocalypse."

Orrin:

1d20+8 Persuasion

Fortuna:

Orrin, Persuasion: [6] = 14

Igfig:

you're asking them to believe that your old wands are the same as the very distinctive silver and gold relic wands they gave you

Orrin:

God dammit.

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

the magic was ripped from them

Igfig:

they did have other paladins, jsut not on such short notice

Varus:

and they turned into shitty pieces of wood

Varus:

1d20+6 bluff

Fortuna:

Varus, bluff: [3] = 9

Varus:

oh man

Igfig:

that is the worst lie they have ever heard

Orrin:

I think it kind of defeats the purpose of being a paladin if you just swap deities to keep neat gear.

Igfig:

yep

Varus:

fine

Orrin:

Although Kol Koran would appreciate the greed.

Varus:

I blush and say that i literally just lost them at the battlefield

Orrin:

But that's probably a bridge too far, even for him.

frosty:

hmmm could i 'train' under the silver flame to see how she does this god-thing so well

Varus:

and i lied cause i was ashamed

Orrin:

Orrin gives back the shield.

Varus:

1d20+6 bluff x2

Fortuna:

Varus, bluff x2: [12] = 18

Varus:

AYY

Igfig:

they are very suspicious still, but ok sure

Orrin:

"I'm serious about the lute, though, you guys owe me a new one."

Varus:

fuck yeah

frosty:

do they do god courses here??

Varus:

orrin

Igfig:

they promise to reimburse you for that, and thank you for keeping the relic safe

Varus:

ill craft you a magical lute

Varus:

one that sounds clearer than any other lute

Orrin:

I'm tryna make some panties drop at the tavern TONITE, brother.

Varus:

that never rots or gets damaged

Varus:

fine

Orrin:

Oh yeah, also, Orrin gots to get paid.

Varus:

take a fucking bullshit weak ass lute

Varus:

for now

Orrin:

Because, y'know, God of Greed and all that.

Varus:

come to my secret wizard tower later and get your good lute though

Igfig:

and you could definitely learn the ways of the silver flame Frosty, but not directly through the Flame itself

Igfig:

you'd just die

frosty:

well yeah

Igfig:

but you can seek communion through prayer and stuff

Varus:

if he dived into the flame?

Orrin:

I imagine they'd be rather tickled having an efreet cleric wandering around.

Varus:

pfFFFFFFFFFFFFT

Varus:

yeah

Varus:

thatd be goofy

Orrin:

They'd totally let you stay.

Varus:

im interested in what blaze is gunna do

Varus:

since he left the druids

Varus:

but when he asked for their aid they helped

Varus:

so he's still accepted among them

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Well that might have been a different band of druids, yar, all they knew was someone wrote in druidcraft, yar.

frosty:

would they take a cleric who constantly refers to himself as a god though, is the thing

Varus:

i guess so

Varus:

probably

Igfig:

I like Varus' explanation better though

Varus:

^^

Igfig:

they probably would not Frosty

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Yar, that one is better story stuffs.

Varus:

just try and keep it on the downlow frostt

Varus:

y

Varus:

once you learn their secrets

Igfig:

Okay, for my last montage moment, I'd like to rewind even further

Varus:

come to varus's secret wizard tower

Varus:

and he'll see what he can do

Orrin:

Is it just D'Cannith sobbing in the ashes of his house?

Varus:

cause i know what varus is gunna do now

Varus:

i hope so

Orrin:

I hope so.

frosty:

uh keeping it on the dl would be sacralige to myself

Varus:

credits just roll over a gif of that

Igfig:

back to the morning after you burned down the Cannith villa

Orrin:

Fortunately, you can give yourself permission.

Varus:

HAHAHA

Varus:

that is true ben

Igfig:

where Brennan d'Cannith sits in the ruins of his house, cradling a small charred corpse to his chest

Igfig:

let the camera linger briefly, and then depart

Varus:

oh

Varus:

oh god

Orrin:

Blaze. Blaze you killed a baby.

Varus:

we really fucked up guys

frosty:

lol fleshies

frosty:

so fragile

Varus:

it was

Blaze_Half-Elf:

oh

Varus:

kinda my fault

Varus:

i compelled him

Igfig:

anyway, he's going to swear revenge

Igfig:

so yeah

Igfig:

anything else we need to cover?

frosty:

FIRE WOULDNT KILL YOU IF YOU WERENT SO WEAK

Varus:

he can come to my secret wizard tower later

Varus:

well i can tell you what varus is gunna do

Varus:

he's gunna build a secret wizard tower somewhere

Igfig:

can we find a good image or line to end this on

Varus:

and

Varus:

FIND A WAY TO SEPERATE THE MATERIAL PLANE FROM EVERY OTHER PLANE PERMANENTLY

Varus:

build a wall that protects it from all outside influence from other planes

Igfig:

yeah good luck with that

Varus:

yeah

Arryn:

hang on i need to gather the shards to take them back and finish my job

Varus:

thats what hes gunna do

frosty:

try it

Orrin:

I guess if they've got the coin, Orrin wouldn't object to living in Flamekeep for a while and doing odd jobs for the Silver Flame.

Varus:

nah hes not gunna do that

Varus:

hes only level 10

Varus:

thats level 30 stuff

Orrin:

The stuff it's awkward for dudes in the livery of the Church to handle.

Varus:

tbh im not sure where varus will go

Orrin:

First we're gonna have a sick party.

Varus:

you know i actually think he will build a secret wizard tower somewhere and just run his experiements

Arryn:

Igfig do i get a promotion

Varus:

do we level up

Orrin:

It seems liek something he would do.

Igfig:

yeah probably Arryn

Varus:

he also invents the telephone

Igfig:

and no Varus, you just did

Arryn:

yayyyyyy

Varus:

so he can call orrin and be like YOOOOOOO YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS SHIT

Orrin:

Actually, Arryn betrayed her employer and allowed his baby to be burned to death in his house.

Orrin:

so uh...

Igfig:

oh yeah

Orrin:

Probably more along the lines of "fired."

Igfig:

so she's promoted and then demoted back down

Varus:

aha

Arryn:

woooooo

Orrin:

Also a prominent aristocrat of her home country wants her dead.

Orrin:

So.

Arryn:

it is the simple life for me

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I dunno, I think Blaze is a bit done with stuff. A: That demon thing freaked him out, and B: He's a bit more with himself and seeing what not being yourself did to the Lord of Blades, he's probably going to make a point of trying to help people like that, probably starting with any warforged he find since Chain isn't there for that anymore.

Orrin:

Oooh that's actually a pretty solid thing to do.

Igfig:

And oh yeah, there still is the matter of what to do with all those quori shards

Orrin:

If he's invited, Orrin would be down for that.

frosty:

dibs

Varus:

okay so: ben joins the silver flame church to learn how to become a super god, varus builds a wizard tower to experiment and unlock the secrets of the universe, orrin gets fucking BLITZED in a bar and tells stories, blaze travels around helping warfroged

frosty:

i dibs the shards

Igfig:

but I have some plans for those in season 2

Varus:

i thnk ben should take them

Orrin:

I think it's safe to say Ben keeps Thakashtai at least.

Orrin:

The rest are too valuable for Orrin to just let him keep them all without a fight.

Igfig:

well yeah, but that's not a permanent solution

Varus:

he can build a little machine in his church room so they can all communicate

Varus:

or

Varus:

give them bodies somehow

frosty:

i will fight you

Varus:

ben we are GIVING them to you

Orrin:

Seeing as everyone else with claim to them seems to be dead, I think we could theoretically finally sell them.

frosty:

i am a flamegod now

Varus:

theres no fight

frosty:

Orrin is

Igfig:

okay, the details of all that can probably wait until later

Orrin:

I want at least SOME of them.

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Or a short and less story related version of what I said, retiring Blaze for now, if we come back to this I'll go with a new character, seeing as that thing went to the demon wastes a character idea I had earlier wouldn't be too shabby.

frosty:

i know them they are my friends

Varus:

we are presumably returning at some point

Igfig:

let's argue about what to do with them later, because new facts may come to light that may add new nuance to the plot

Varus:

varus is retired too i think

frosty:

sell my friends

Varus:

he however can easily reappear

frosty:

try it

Varus:

just find the secret wizard tower

Varus:

which actually isnt that secret

Varus:

cause varus looooves urban life

Varus:

so i think hes gunna hang around flamekeep and build a wizard tower

frosty:

OH WAIT

Orrin:

You have also said "secret wizard tower" probably 40 times since we killed LoB.

Orrin:

So there's that.

frosty:

ONE LAST THING

Igfig:

oh man Blaze, are you going to be one of those orcs that guard the labyrinth that keeps the barbarian tribes locked in the wastes?

Varus:

i only said wizard tower that last time

frosty:

they giggled as if there was some joke i was not in on

frosty:

what was it

Varus:

OR

Blaze_Half-Elf:

I had noticed actually that let me double check.

Varus:

VARUS FOUNDS A MAGICAL UNIVERSITY IN FLAMEKEEP

Igfig:

the Ghaash’kala

frosty:

Igfig this is important

Orrin:

I don't think they'd like that.

Orrin:

And also you would need a lot more money.

Varus:

why not?

Orrin:

And to be more than level 10 probably.

Igfig:

giggled about what?

Varus:

surely he earned some favours

frosty:

what is that

Orrin:

I imagine they already have their own university.

Varus:

that is also true

Varus:

ok

Orrin:

I can't even get a fucking lute from these people.

Varus:

that is true

Orrin:

They're not going to give you a free university.

Varus:

wizard tower it is

Igfig:

yeah, they said they'd reimburse you

frosty:

hang on i need to dig up the logs

Igfig:

and they did

Varus:

orrin where are you going

Varus:

i think varus may hang with you for a bit before building his tower in a city he likes

Igfig:

they probably give you all some riches as reward too

frosty:

but i said some dude wants to turn you into a god or something

frosty:

they giggles

Varus:

enough to found some kind of university, or extend flamekeeps current?

Igfig:

oh yeah, that's hard to explain

Orrin:

I dunno. I'd be down to help the warforged, but I also want to not live in the woods for several years.

Varus:

exactly

Igfig:

but it has to do with how the dreaming dark works

Orrin:

But I'm not in any rush to break up the band.

Varus:

hang around in flamekeep for a while with me

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Darn, I was thinking one of the Znir Pact Gnolls actually, cause I have been missing being a gnoll lately.

Orrin:

Except for Frosty, who isn't going to leave and also threatened AND ATTEMPTED to kill us several times.

Varus:

thats also true

Igfig:

sure, that's cool too Blaze

Varus:

maybe lets not hang around in flamekeep

Varus:

lets go to throne port instead

Varus:

leave frosty to be all churchy

Blaze_Half-Elf:

They are a bit further away though, might look into the orc end though, haven't played an orc, yar.

Orrin:

I mean I have no problem being in the same city as him, but if he doesn't want to come adventuring it's not really that upsetting.

Varus:

haha

Blaze_Half-Elf:

Though I think the chances are pretty reasonable that a Znir Pact Gnoll could be hired in that region too, yar.

Igfig:

aye

frosty:

03:11:41: <frosty_the_boatman> "we found someone that might want to make you into gods or something, not entirely certain anymore, but theres that"03:11:59: <igfig> they find this extremely funny for reasons they can't quite explain to you

Orrin:

Blaze whatchoo think.

Orrin:

how soon are you going to leave Flamekeep?

Igfig:

yeah, I can't really explain that either

frosty:

:/

Orrin:

Oh I did actually have one question I can't even remember if we got answered from all the way back to the first session.

Varus:

whoa

Varus:

the train?

Igfig:

but if you want to read up on the Dreaming Dark and maybe Sarlonan society you could get an idea

frosty:

aight

Blaze_Half-Elf:

How soon is Blaze going to leave Flamekeep? I don't know. He's probably going to stick around for a while to get more time hanging with Frosty before he goes, yar.

Orrin:

But why were these super important shards just on a regular-ass train that a bunch of criminal gangs knew about?

Varus:

they were going to be used as generic power sources

Orrin:

I think then, for the foreseeable future, we're all just enjoying the spoils of war in our various ways in Flamekeep.

Varus:

yeah

frosty:

yeah Blaze_Half-Elf lets get drunk and eat popcorn one last time for old time sake

Varus:

frosty having a solid body is weird now

Igfig:

Orrin, the answer to that is "artistic license"

Orrin:

Oh no I get that, but they were obviously very very important to LoB. So were they like... hiding in plain sight kinda thing?

Orrin:

Fair enough.

Varus:

well remember the LOB was a legend

Orrin:

You can have "hiding in plain sight" if you want it.

Igfig:

but that's true, you still don't know what was going on with the shards, why Cannith wanted them in the first place

Varus:

we thougth the colonol of cutlery was the lord

frosty:

oh shit i can hold things without glasses now

Igfig:

except for something vague about docents maybe

Varus:

well the shards just power stuff

Varus:

i assumed they were just valuable batteries

frosty:

i can hold my liquor!!!!

Orrin:

Well yeah, but SOMEBODY bound the quori in there and then just put them on a train with a couple assholes guarding it.

Igfig:

more than a couple, but yeah

Varus:

cause it was going to some other place to power stuff there

Orrin:

So I'm saying that whoever that was thought that would be LESS supsicious than transporting them by some other means.

Varus:

its not really a huge mystery

Igfig:

I think it was partly an attempt to hide in plain sight

Igfig:

yeah

Varus:

also a train is stuck on traps

Varus:

tracks

Varus:

an airship can be hijacked and brought wherever

frosty:

do i have eyes now

Igfig:

but frankly I don't have that side of the plot as well developed as this bit

Varus:

yes

frosty:

do i have ears

Varus:

yes

frosty:

can i hear

Igfig:

so I don't even have a good answer yet

Varus:

yes

Orrin:

I'm pretty sure some bumblefuck factory worker didn't just actually bind a bunch of mythic dream-eating creatures in there and throw 'em on the train to power lamps in Sharn.

frosty:

can i piss now

Varus:

not lamps

Orrin:

The piss was inside you all along, Ben.

Igfig:

yes, let us pee

Varus:

cars and stuff

Varus:

ok

Varus:

yeah i guess we're done

Igfig:

anyway, it is almost 4 AM

Orrin:

You're missing what I'm saying, but yeah it's very late we can talk about shards later.

Varus:

we can talk about my thing coming up another day this week maybe

Igfig:

anybody got a good line or image to end on?

frosty:

pissing is the only good thing fleshbags can do

frosty:

end on that

Varus:

BONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSBONERSB

Varus:

boners

Igfig:

also let's try and postmortem tomorrow if we can

Igfig:

okay, boners it is

Orrin:

I mean probably d'cannith in the wreckage is the best end.

Orrin:

If we're hooking a second run.

Igfig:

And once again, Fortuna, good night.

Fortuna:

Goodbye.

Orrin:

BYE FORTUNA

Fortuna:

Goodbye.

Varus:

boners fortuna?

Orrin:

Thanks for all the shit rolls.
