Ace_Justice: abso-frannin-lutley Igfig: Camera Heronius_Napalm: Heronius!! Ace_Justice: 1d20 for the power of dongs Fortuna: Ace_Justice, for the power of dongs: [4] = 4 Igfig: Action! Ace_Justice: dongs are weak today Igfig: Last time, on Shetland Firestorm Heronius_Napalm: You would know. Ace_Justice: oh shit, hold on! Brigsby: perfect timing Ace_Justice: Need to bring this glass upstairs, continue though Igfig: oh god the glass is downstairs! Igfig: Quick, Waffle! For glasses verywhere, get it upstairs! Igfig: Anyway Ace_Justice: This is a big deal in my house Igfig: The space pirates returned to the scene of the crime to loot the suffocated (or so they thought) crew of the dohwar vessel Igfig: but were surprised to find your ship there too Igfig: they sent some boarders to investigate Igfig: and were even more surprised when you launched Holdr and Barvo at them out of ballistae holdr: "Me and Barv- Oh hey, when did you get here hero?" Heronius_Napalm: The battle ends, I pick up the loot. Igfig: but you fired too soon, missed, and stranded them in space for a while Heronius_Napalm: We have a system. Igfig: then the battle, fighting lizardmen and getting rammed Lucas_Strongbow: That sounds weird holdr: "And jet packs!" Ace_Justice: firing too soon seems to be happen a lot for us Igfig: you eventually killed the pirates, although their air was depleted in the battle as well Igfig: and now here you are. Heronius_Napalm: Take everything they own! Heronius_Napalm: even the air! Ace_Justice: I agree! Brigsby: How do we take the air? Heronius_Napalm: Loot their hold and their bodies. Heronius_Napalm: Magic. Heronius_Napalm: obviously Igfig: Well, normally you'd take their air just by overlapping air envelopes Brigsby: okay, well, I help in the looting of their ship Igfig: but since you were both in the asteroid's envelope, it got most of their air holdr: Crap. I can't remember how Holdr is RP'd either Heronius_Napalm: holdr is a dwarf who hits things Brigsby: can we steal all of the asteroid's air? Heronius_Napalm: imagine gimli Heronius_Napalm: with more axes Igfig: The ship doesn't have much on it to loot, since they were expecting to be picking up lots of treasure here Brigsby: Yeah, Holdr is a dwarf, so you can't go wrong with "Scottish" Heronius_Napalm: indeed Igfig: but they have a number of roughly-made heavy catapults Ace_Justice: RPing ace is easy, just not my head and stuff Brigsby: We take them happily Igfig: a number of weapons, although none are magical and thus they're hardly worth taking Heronius_Napalm: I am sure many in our crew will love the catapults Heronius_Napalm: take them for selling Brigsby: doesn't mean we can't sell them to vendors later, let's take the weapons Heronius_Napalm: we can get a pittance for them Lucas_Strongbow: Do we have space for catapults? Also, we are running out of air holdr: "Nye. Nay dwarf tossing" Heronius_Napalm: and I can talk a pittance up to a trifle. Igfig: there are 6 catapults, and each is worth about 360 gp base Heronius_Napalm: Perfect. Heronius_Napalm: We will need to find an enchanter. Igfig: the weapons are probably worth less than that all taken together Heronius_Napalm: I know a few. Ace_Justice: Would it be possible to mix and mash the guns together to create one big gun/ Ace_Justice: ? Heronius_Napalm: If we had an artificer Slim_Bankshot: red Brigsby: Let's just take the catapults then, three on front and three on the rear Igfig: the catapults are nice in that they use Strength to aim instead of Dex, but you don't have much space on deck for any more weapons Heronius_Napalm: We will come to a compromise Heronius_Napalm: for now we will store them Brigsby: Yeah, stuff 'em in the cargo hold Heronius_Napalm: work on re-designing the ship when we find a safe harbour Igfig: you have a bit of space on the forecastle, but you'd really want a turret there instead of something fixed Igfig: they will fit in the hold, yes Heronius_Napalm: We could put a catapult on a swivel until something better comes along. Igfig: also, Ace, there are no guns Igfig: these guys were evidently not very advanced Igfig: Oh, also Igfig: there is one more obvious valuable thing Igfig: the spelljammer helm Heronius_Napalm: oh? Ace_Justice: *takes it* Heronius_Napalm: Dibs Heronius_Napalm: Mage hand it away from ace Igfig: the big chair you sit in to make the ship go Ace_Justice: Screw that Igfig: it is large Ace_Justice: I'm not letting go of this Igfig: and you already have one Heronius_Napalm: 1d20+14 arcana Fortuna: Heronius_Napalm, arcana: [3] = 17 Heronius_Napalm: make a strength check Brigsby: is there any special wiring or whatever that we can strip? This ship is just gonna crash on the asteroid or drift off into space, might as well just strip it of parts Ace_Justice: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Ace_Justice, 1d20+6: [2] = 8 Ace_Justice: BULL SHIT Heronius_Napalm: my helm now Brigsby: what about its engines? Ace_Justice: Dang Igfig: it has no engines Igfig: it steers with sails Igfig: there are no wires Heronius_Napalm: We will tow it to a safe zone Heronius_Napalm: drain the air Heronius_Napalm: then sink it Igfig: uhh Ace_Justice: We will need some sort of vaccum cleaner Igfig: first of all Lucas_Strongbow: It's already been drained of air, pretty much Igfig: yeah, that Heronius_Napalm: I know Igfig: and second of all, how do you sink a spaceship Heronius_Napalm: But we could at least increase our supply Heronius_Napalm: you damage it enough Brigsby: use the sails for target practice? Yin quit. Heronius_Napalm: that it succumbs to the vacuum of metaspace Ace_Justice: Let's just take it apart for scraps Heronius_Napalm: basically make it useless. Lucas_Strongbow: Or, we get the hell out of here and go do something interesting Heronius_Napalm: OR Alek_Deckard joined #pwot_dnd. Slim_Bankshot quit. Heronius_Napalm: We could tow it to a planet and sell it. Igfig: it would be quite difficult to suck the air out of a ship, even with vacuumy stuff Ace_Justice: What about with magic Brigsby: towing it would probably slow us down, and I dunno if we have enough air to make the trip slowed down like that Ace_Justice: physically move the air over to our ship Heronius_Napalm: we have their air too. Ace_Justice: but it's all spread out Heronius_Napalm: just hook up a pipe. Brigsby: their air was spent in the fight, Ig said that Heronius_Napalm: and we can breathe it. Igfig: the thing is, the air on their ship is all mixed with carbon dioxide Heronius_Napalm: Find a tree then Igfig: in the same proportions as your own Heronius_Napalm: and a druid Igfig: yes, finding a tree would be a good idea Igfig: unfortunately you have a bit more than a day's worth of air Brigsby: don't we have a druid? Heronius_Napalm: is anyone a plant creature of some sort? Ace_Justice: My other character is a druid Ace_Justice: So not much we can do there Brigsby: do any of us have powers that create plant things? Igfig: it's unlikely that you could make enough permanent plant things to make a difference in the space of a single day Brigsby: Lucas, don't you have a power that makes a few squares of difficult terrain with plants or something? Lucas_Strongbow: Roots Lucas_Strongbow: Not quite the same Heronius_Napalm: they only fix nitrogen Brigsby: crap Heronius_Napalm: and phosphorous Brigsby: No leaves then Lucas_Strongbow: How about we drive to the place that the penguin duded told us about? Brigsby: let's do that Heronius_Napalm: what place? Heronius_Napalm: don't bring them out to ask either. Lucas_Strongbow: Said he knew a place within travelling distance Alek_Deckard: Or did we find a map or some coordinates inside the pirate ship? Possibly for their base? Which would likely have air? Lucas_Strongbow: Where we'd get a reward Alek_Deckard: And all the pirate loot too. Igfig: Good thought, Alek. Anyone want to have a look around? Heronius_Napalm: Who is good at percieveing things? Lucas_Strongbow: Yo Heronius_Napalm: search about then Ace_Justice: for what/ Ace_Justice: ? Lucas_Strongbow: SEARCH MODE ENGAGED Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+12 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+12: [4] = 16 Ace_Justice: We are getting some bad rolls Brigsby: description bonus, Lucas Igfig: Luckily they keep their maps in obvious places Alek_Deckard: For something to figure out where the pirates keep all their stuff, if they don't have loot on the ship, they must keep it somewhere, likely with air. Ace_Justice: mmkay Lucas_Strongbow: I toss the pirate ship, flipping through books and chests, rifling through pockets, emptying drawers Lucas_Strongbow: I have the look of a man who is desperately late for work, and can't find his keys Igfig: (you already succeeded on that roll) Lucas_Strongbow: I know, this is just fluff Igfig: k Brigsby: we all need to get into the habit of describing rolls anyway Brigsby: it's better for RP Lucas_Strongbow: Yeah Igfig: and they do, in fact, have some star charts that provide directions back to their base Igfig: that is true brigsby Heronius_Napalm: yeah, pirate base raid! Lucas_Strongbow: "Guys, I found something. Some sort of map." Heronius_Napalm: "Where does it lead?: Igfig: their base appears to be an unexceptional point in deep space holdr: "Aye. Leet us invaide thee pairates Brigsby: I vote that Heronius stays on the ship, because if we raid that base there's a 98% chance that he'll try to become King of the Pirates Igfig: about half a day's travel away Alek_Deckard: "Plus in raiding their stores we end their threat in the area." Heronius_Napalm: If heronius is forced to remain on the ship, it will not be there when you get back. Heronius_Napalm: also the base will be on fire. Brigsby: that is also true Igfig: Oh no, not king of the pirates. He'll try to set up an intramural lacrosse team! Heronius_Napalm: He would Heronius_Napalm: I love gambling on lacrosse Brigsby: The more Archer references we make, the more I love everyting Ace_Justice: Good god no! Igfig: Okay Igfig: Pirate base raid? Lucas_Strongbow: You just reminded me, I need to watch the third part of that bunch of episodes Heronius_Napalm: Pirate Base Raid! Brigsby: Pirate base raid. Ace_Justice: I haven't watched archer in forever Heronius_Napalm: with EXPLODE TURNIPS! Igfig: Anything we need to do before we go? Any plans to make? Ace_Justice: what about the penguins in the closeT? Igfig: They appear to be asleep Brigsby: the Pirate Base episodes made me very happy because they made a goddamn ANTHROPOLOGY joke. which is my major Ace_Justice: Oh my Igfig: nestled in eachother's down Ace_Justice: Are they dead? Igfig: Heal check? Alek_Deckard: I don't think they'd know anything about the base, and the only things we know about the pirates are they are lizards. Lucas_Strongbow: extended rest on the way seems like a good idea Ace_Justice: 1d20+9 heal Fortuna: Ace_Justice, heal: [12] = 21 Brigsby: well, should we make a gameplan for the attack? Igfig: yeah, they're just asleep Ace_Justice: Then maybe we should wake them up Ace_Justice: Take them with us Slim_Bankshot joined #pwot_dnd. Igfig: Extended rest is a good idea, yeah Brigsby: we definitely need to load all the catapults Slim_Bankshot: I got dropped Slim_Bankshot: Odd Slim_Bankshot: red Igfig: You can make repairs to your ship during the extended rest, too Lucas_Strongbow: We can't make a gameplan when we don't know what we're up against holdr: Don't we have limited air though? Alek_Deckard: Maybe try and sneak in using their ship, do we have enough arcane users to drive both boats? Igfig: although why are you loading catapults in your hold? Brigsby: also true Brigsby: I mean just load the catapults on deck Ace_Justice: So we can fire them at people Ace_Justice: duh Heronius_Napalm: okay, extended rest. Brigsby: the ones we're going to use Heronius_Napalm: Barvo is going to be ready for smashin Alek_Deckard: We could pretend to be taking our own ship in. Igfig: you would need to remove your ballistae to do that Igfig: to fit the catapults, I mean Igfig: and your ballistae are higher quality than their catapults Brigsby: you know what I meant Igfig: Not really, no Brigsby: let's load the weapons(ballistae, laser cannons) that we have on our deck, so they'll be ready to fire if shit goes down Brigsby: load as in load ammo into them Heronius_Napalm: right. Heronius_Napalm: no barbarians this time. Heronius_Napalm: for the moment. Igfig: ah ok Heronius_Napalm: extended rest on the way there. Igfig: all right Heronius_Napalm: hold orbit beyond sensor range Igfig: yes Lucas_Strongbow: I nap at the wheel holdr: HOldr Coughs Alek_Deckard prays to Pelor. Heronius_Napalm: which is a bit farther than their guys can see. Igfig: the pirate ship has no real sensors beyond a communicator Slim_Bankshot: OK, so, since I got dropped, I'm not sure where we are. Igfig: mostly it's a matter of telescopes Alek_Deckard: We're on our extended rest on the way to the pirate base. Brigsby: does this mean we can all dress as pirates? Heronius_Napalm: no Ace_Justice: Damn Igfig: "Out of sight range" is thousands of miles away Igfig: but yeah Igfig: You can spend one of your four repair surges during the rest to get your ship back to full hit points Heronius_Napalm: okai Igfig: (since you only took a bit of damage) Brigsby: do we have a way to recharge shields? Igfig: Yeah, you can do that automatically during the rest Igfig: basically you just make a bunch of skill checks and get Poen to use some healing powers Igfig: Anyway, you drop out of the phlogiston about ten thousand miles from your destination Brigsby: what is the phlogiston Igfig: it's what space looks like when you're travelling at superluminal speeds Igfig: basically, fire everywhere Slim_Bankshot: Wait, is Poen here? Brigsby: so like Star Wars, but not blue, gotcha Brigsby: Poen the character is here, the player isn't Igfig: if you use fire spells in the phlogiston, the spell explodes Ace_Justice: Hell yes Ace_Justice: let's fire shit up Alek_Deckard: Like good explode, or bad explode? Ace_Justice: is there a bad explode? Brigsby: I imagine bad explode Igfig: if you fall out of a ship in the phlogiston, you're preserved in stasis pretty much forever until you ram into a star or something Alek_Deckard: Backfire explode, or flinging a fireball explode. Igfig: backfire explode, yes Ace_Justice: oh my Igfig: there are a few other weird things about the phlogiston that I don't remember offhand Heronius_Napalm: good plan Heronius_Napalm: for going out in a blaze of glory Igfig: but basically it's like hyperspace except it's still technically realspace Brigsby: It's hyperspace but fire Igfig: the spelljammer is more of a warp drive than a hyperdrive Igfig: anyway Igfig: What's the game plan? Igfig: Using the enemy ship for deceit? Ace_Justice: Errrmmm Igfig: Sneaking in? Ace_Justice: good question Igfig: Charging? Igfig: in Brigsby: let's try to sneak, and charge if that goes badly Ace_Justice: Charge? Ace_Justice: Fine Heronius_Napalm: sneaky people hands up. Ace_Justice: Maybe we can use a sneaking person to open the way for the rest of us Brigsby: does +6 qualify me for sneaky? Igfig: It's mildly sneaky Lucas_Strongbow: I am also +6 Alek_Deckard: I've got 11. Brigsby: I half-heartedly put my hand up Ace_Justice: I have 4... Lucas_Strongbow: me and Brigsby are all "ehhhh..." Brigsby: if only Adam wasn't being an awesome assassin dude on Eberron Igfig: Note that we're talking about your entire ship here, not you individually Igfig: although I suppose you could try that too Igfig: well, actually not really Alek_Deckard: I think bluff would be more important for using the previously owned by the pirates ship for whatever it is we're doing. Brigsby: how do we go about sneaking the ship in? That seems more along the lines of Bluff Brigsby: which I also have +6 in Ace_Justice: I have +1 bluff Ace_Justice: I can do this Igfig: I'd imagine something like black camouflage Heronius_Napalm: I can do diplomacy Brigsby: me too Igfig: but yes, bluff would also work Igfig: in its own way Alek_Deckard: What if we pretend to tow our ship in with their ship? And then once we're in start firing the weapons on both ships at everything? Igfig: pretty much anythign could work in theory Igfig: that could work too Lucas_Strongbow: I'd rather get into a normal fight than a ship fight Brigsby: I could stand on the front railing of the ship and sing a lullaby to put all the pirates to sleep Ace_Justice: We can try that Igfig: A normal fight will probably be difficult to do without getting very close Heronius_Napalm: We just need to toss holdr and barvo in Brigsby: we tried that last time Heronius_Napalm: then let things take their proper course Ace_Justice: Maybe we can just ram this pirate ship into them Heronius_Napalm: and many people died. Heronius_Napalm: very quickly Ace_Justice: Smash through the wall and storm them before they even realize what is going on Brigsby: after Holdr and Barvo drifted through space for a while Heronius_Napalm: yeah Heronius_Napalm: then Barvo Triple killed to make up for lost time. Lucas_Strongbow: How does our ship compare to theirs? In terms of strength and numbers Alek_Deckard: Here's a question, assuming their base is larger then our ships, can we see it from here at all? holdr: "There'll be no dwarf tossing on my watch!" Igfig: firing people out of ballistae has a range of about two shipboard squares, or 200 feet Ace_Justice: Let's do that Igfig: your ships are pretty equal Igfig: you can't see their base from here except as a tiny speck through a telescope Lucas_Strongbow: I think we can get closer without being seen Lucas_Strongbow: Space is big Igfig: but you could certainly get at least somewhat closer Igfig: yeah Lucas_Strongbow: We know what we're looking for, they don't Igfig: Okay. Let's get an Arcana check from whoever's at the helm, to get the distance just right Igfig: and a Stealth check too Heronius_Napalm: 1d20+14 Fortuna: Heronius_Napalm, 1d20+14: [8] = 22 Heronius_Napalm: who does the stealth? Igfig: probably you, unless someone has an idea about how to make the ship more stealthy Heronius_Napalm: Lucas? Lucas_Strongbow: Hmm... Igfig: it's not really a piloting matter Ace_Justice: Turn off all the lights Ace_Justice: space is a dark place Igfig: Actually, I think it'll be Hero who makes the check Brigsby: if we're in space, could we come at them from a different angle? We have more options than "head on" holdr: Feel free to scream as well Heronius_Napalm: oh my Ace_Justice: Let's rise up from underneath them Alek_Deckard: We don't know which direction is head on for the base though, we could be approaching it from the bottom right now for all we know. Heronius_Napalm: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Heronius_Napalm, 1d20+4: [16] = 20 Igfig: but good Stealth checks from somebody taking stealthing measures can give some bonuses Lucas_Strongbow: Turn off the lights, come in slow to reduce engine burn, and come from a weird angle Lucas_Strongbow: Oh, everyone suggested all of that already Igfig: Well, that check was pretty good anyway Heronius_Napalm: bam Heronius_Napalm: heronius. Igfig: From this distance, you have a pretty good view of the base Igfig: feel free to scroll around to take it all in Lucas_Strongbow: What the fuck Lucas_Strongbow: it's...aloe vera? Igfig: Apparently! Lucas_Strongbow: So it's organic in construction? Slim_Bankshot: DO YOU HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT, PUNK?! Brigsby: plant pirates Ace_Justice: it's a plant Igfig: Each hex is 100 feet, by the way Igfig: yes, it's quite organic Alek_Deckard: That certainly explains where they get their oxygen, they live on a giant plant. Aryanni: That is a huge ass aloe vera! Heronius_Napalm: Let's head for the yellow bits. Igfig: you understand now how they can afford to be so wasteful with their air Heronius_Napalm: Also, we can steal their oxygen. Heronius_Napalm: Also also, I am allergic to aloe vera. Igfig: Also, perception Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+12 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+12: [20] = 32 Ace_Justice: woop Igfig: passive perception I guess... oh Igfig: welp Slim_Bankshot: You see everything ever Lucas_Strongbow: Eagle eye Lucas over here Alek_Deckard: Again. Ace_Justice: He sees into infinity Lucas_Strongbow: I can see through time holdr: "I CAN SEE INTO FOREVER" ~Lucas Strongbow Slim_Bankshot: He can tell you how many hairs are on a flies foot Igfig: Through your telescope, you can see two small vessels buzzing around the base occasionally Heronius_Napalm: This seems like a timing issue. Heronius_Napalm: Also, what have we done with the pirate ship? Heronius_Napalm: I have an idea. holdr: "Stab them with our swords?" Igfig: You can also see that most of the activity is around the thickest nodes of the plants, where the leaves come together, and the flowers. holdr: "Or my spear I guess." Igfig: I don't know what you've done with the pirate ship. Heronius_Napalm: Alright Heronius_Napalm: I want to set that things engines at full blast and cut it loose. Heronius_Napalm: aimed at the base. Ace_Justice: told you guys Igfig: Uh Igfig: engines? Heronius_Napalm: we need a distraction for us. Brigsby: so we're charging? Heronius_Napalm: right. Heronius_Napalm: sails Heronius_Napalm: whatever Lucas_Strongbow: Sails do not work that way Heronius_Napalm: set it on a collision course Brigsby: Oh, pirate ship as distractions Igfig: The spelljammer helm is the main propulsion Igfig: the sails are just for steering Alek_Deckard: Don't we need someone sitting on its helm to power it? Heronius_Napalm: perfect Igfig: and yes, that's the thing Lucas_Strongbow: Who wants to go on a suicide mission? Heronius_Napalm: I can set up a spell to power it Heronius_Napalm: I will summon my magma beast. Heronius_Napalm: and his essence will power the helm Igfig: oh, that's a clever idea Heronius_Napalm: I am clever as fuck over here. Igfig: Can your magma beast cast spells or anything? Heronius_Napalm: hmm Igfig: do anything that's not just pure melee Igfig: actually, I guess it /is/ magic Igfig: so that's okay Heronius_Napalm: yeah Heronius_Napalm: it is living magma Heronius_Napalm: made of magic Heronius_Napalm: That was the idea Igfig: also I am going to steal that idea later for guided missiles Heronius_Napalm: sure thing. Igfig: so it is in my interest to allow this Brigsby: balls Igfig: but make an Arcana check Heronius_Napalm: 1d20+14 Fortuna: Heronius_Napalm, 1d20+14: [10] = 24 Alek_Deckard: I hope we get the guided missiles. Igfig: you may want the other casters to help you... Igfig: oh Igfig: yeah, that works Heronius_Napalm: damn rights Heronius_Napalm: I am Heronius Fucking Napalm Heronius_Napalm: the Sixtennth Heronius_Napalm: word. Ace_Justice: So Ace_Justice: let's do that then Heronius_Napalm: It is done. Igfig: The pirate ship starts to move Lucas_Strongbow: I symbolically smash a bottle against the stern Igfig: as the magma beast settles into the spelljammer helm Lucas_Strongbow: Also, if anyone ever draws this, have the magma beast salute, and Hero wipe away a tear Igfig: The wood of the ship begins to blacken and catch fire from the beast's heat Heronius_Napalm: You realize that Hero is the one who does the drawing. Igfig: yep Heronius_Napalm: and something may come of this Heronius_Napalm: never know. Lucas_Strongbow: Well, draw that shit then Igfig: and as the ship starts to accelerate, the fire spreads across the deck Igfig: running up the sails, down the ram Igfig: Are you guys following close behind, or waiting for it to arrive before you start moving? Heronius_Napalm: Bit of both Igfig: okay Ace_Justice: We should follow close behind Heronius_Napalm: we wait till we are sure they notice it Ace_Justice: storm once it hits Heronius_Napalm: then go Brigsby: I thought we were going dark? Ace_Justice: maybe we should come from the opposite direction? Brigsby: and when it hits, we can charge full blast Ace_Justice: While they're focused on that, we hit them from the back Igfig: sure Heronius_Napalm: yeah Igfig: And as the ship reaches cruising speed Igfig: and the phlogiston begins to gather Alek_Deckard: Uh oh. Heronius_Napalm: Hee hee Ace_Justice: shit Heronius_Napalm: I will enjoy this. Igfig: the ship begins to detonate piece by piece Slim_Bankshot: What is a phlogiston? Igfig: small explosions at first Alek_Deckard: Hyper drive. Alek_Deckard: Sorta. Lucas_Strongbow: You know what sucks? Living plant doesn't burn. Igfig: but the faster it goes, the bigger they get Slim_Bankshot: Sure it burns. Just not as well. Ace_Justice: Then let's just send hero in alone Ace_Justice: we know how he loves his fire Igfig: and a cloud of shrapnel and wreckage begins to collect around the flaming death-meteor Heronius_Napalm: Hahaha Heronius_Napalm: I am enjoying the spectacle Ace_Justice: Jesus it's like we just made a meteor shower Heronius_Napalm: Heronius Napalm does not fuck around. Igfig: it's not long before the pirates at the base start to notice Lucas_Strongbow: That magma beast had better say "I'm back!" before impact Ace_Justice: or Heronius_Napalm: In primordial. Ace_Justice: Jeronimo, or however you spell that Ace_Justice: no wait Ace_Justice: "I'd like to see your FIRE PERMIT" Igfig: activity starts to increase around the flowers, it looks like Slim_Bankshot: Numerous bodies seem to be assembling something Igfig: a gleaming something begins to coalesce around the flowers Ace_Justice: Oh shit, they're using solar beam Heronius_Napalm: I wonder how that will end. Heronius_Napalm: hmm Igfig: no, more of a force field perhaps Heronius_Napalm: Get in there Slim_Bankshot: Counter with mirror move Heronius_Napalm: quick Igfig: the rest of the plant is not surrounded by the field Slim_Bankshot: Or better yet, firespin Alek_Deckard: Ah darn, the ship would be fine if it was solar beam, fire types are resistant to grass. Lucas_Strongbow: It's not very effective... Igfig: although the leaves do begin to move and sway Slim_Bankshot: Rhythmically Ace_Justice: Razer Leaf? Alek_Deckard: Ah right, lizardmen, druids and shamans abound. Igfig: the smaller ships, which you can now see to look something like stylized wasps Alek_Deckard: MOstly shamans I suppose. Igfig: begin to fire at the great onrushing squid explosion Ace_Justice: Squid Explosions Igfig: (the big pirate ship was vaguely squidlike) Ace_Justice: huh Ace_Justice: oh Lucas_Strongbow: I think we're ever so slightly outmatched here wasps 4PEW PEW! Heronius_Napalm: Sneak in Igfig: but their catapults are not very effective Heronius_Napalm: now while they are distracted Ace_Justice: yeah let's go now Alek_Deckard: Which part will we go in towards? Alek_Deckard: Start at the bottom and work up?j Igfig: the ship impacts in the center of the aloe wasps 4buzzzz PEW! Ace_Justice: the opposite side of the explosion Igfig: if the magma beast said anything, it was too far away foe you to hear Igfig: *for Igfig: but you like ti think it did Igfig: *to Ace_Justice: He said "I'm afraid you're going to have to face the firing squad" Igfig: *sunglasses* Lucas_Strongbow: I am the god of hellfire, and I bring you... Igfig: the final phlogiston-fueled explosion Igfig: a raging, compound, multi-stage spectacle of pyrotechnic skill that would make any municipal fireworks department hire you on the spot wasps: 1d20 Fortuna: wasps, 1d20: [8] = 8 holdr falls alseep Heronius_Napalm: Weestsiiidde! Heronius_Napalm: *ahem wasps 4hear holdr snoring Igfig: although ti does not start any fires Ace_Justice: hold on, need to do secret santa stuff Heronius_Napalm: brb Igfig: does blow a beautiful series of gaping holes all through the midsection of the aloe Igfig: it writhes as if in pain wasps: Is it hollow? Do the pirates live inside? Ace_Justice: alright back Igfig: Parts of it, yes Ace_Justice: would it be possible to chop off the stems? Igfig: although it looks like many of them are up in the flowers or the Wasps wasps: I imagine embroidered pathes that say 'aloe sweet aloe' Igfig: that might be posible, yes wasps: *patches Ace_Justice: We should try that Ace_Justice: cut off the stems and send them scattering across space Igfig: blackened bits of plant matter the size of small dragons tumble outward on the shockwave wasps: one nearly hits a wasp Igfig: and into it all, comes your dear nameless ship Igfig: Let's roll initiative Ace_Justice: 1d20+4 Ace Justice Init Fortuna: Ace_Justice, Ace Justice Init: [9] = 13 Heronius_Napalm: Barvo Explodes out of Hero with a roar Alek_Deckard: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+6: [2] = 8 Igfig: I guess the explosion was near the bottom, so you're coming in from the top? Heronius_Napalm: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Heronius_Napalm, 1d20+2: [11] = 13 Brigsby: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Brigsby, 1d20+6: [17] = 23 Aryanni: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Aryanni, 1d20+2: [10] = 12 Igfig: Ace, remember that you're managing the initiative now Ace_Justice: I know Ace_Justice: I'm doing that now Igfig: excellent Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+8 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+8: [5] = 13 holdr: 1d20+2 Fortuna: holdr, 1d20+2: [14] = 16 holdr: Uh. That's a 17 holdr: I have a +3 wasps: If anybody else touches the map I will gut them like a fish Igfig: Slim, go ahead and roll for the wasps Ace_Justice: anyone else? Ace_Justice: ermm Ace_Justice: where is the battle taking place Ace_Justice: on foot or in the ship Ace_Justice: bam wasps: 1d20+2 Fortuna: wasps, 1d20+2: [20] = 22 Ace_Justice: mapped up like a mother fucker Ace_Justice: oh shit Ace_Justice: hmm wasps: Well shit Ace_Justice: igfig does that go first? Ace_Justice: or second? Ace_Justice: Case brigs has 23 Heronius_Napalm: I think that's second Ace_Justice: cause* Alek_Deckard: Second with a surprise round ahead of everyone else. Heronius_Napalm: but they get a surprise- yeah Ace_Justice: okay Barvo: Wargghhh!! Ace_Justice: "RRRRR" Ace_Justice: no wait he can't make r's either holdr: "Barvo, Ye be back!" Ace_Justice: umm Ace_Justice: "GGGGGGG" Lucas_Strongbow: Can't make G's either Ace_Justice: shit you're right Ace_Justice: umm Barvo: Holdr!! Lucas_Strongbow: MMMMM Ace_Justice: "HHHHHHH" Ace_Justice: "HHHMMMMMMM" Ace_Justice: He is angrily contemplating Ace_Justice: Ace needs to get some form of telepathy Barvo: We shall destroy many an enemy this day! holdr: "Aye." Igfig: Also Ace, put a "W" at initiative 0 on the list Frogbone joined #pwot_dnd. Igfig: or not a w actually Igfig: uh, an F Ace_Justice: ? Igfig: there's a thing that you will see when it happens Igfig: thanks Igfig: okay Igfig: Is anyone still unrecorded? Igfig: init-wise? wasps: Frogbone may be getting here in time to see something interesting happen Barvo: Mine is there Barvo: just change heronius to barvo Barvo: for clarity Ace_Justice: okay Alek_Deckard: Hey where is mine? Igfig: I don't see an Alek Igfig: yeah Ace_Justice: done Alek_Deckard: I rolled an 8 right after you rolled for Ace. Igfig: Aright Ace_Justice: He's added Igfig: Brigsby turn! Igfig: Holdr on deck Ace_Justice: where are we on the map Igfig: wherever you want to be I guess Brigsby: am I first? Igfig: Hero, where are you guys on that map? Igfig: yeah, it look slike you are brigsby Ace_Justice: ig Barvo: Uh Ace_Justice: Wasps go first Brigsby: I kinda zoned out, what's happening right now? Ace_Justice: they got a surprise round Barvo: Close enough to hit something. Alek_Deckard: Wasp surprise round. wasps: Should probably just add, like, a rectangle to show the ship Igfig: just a big S or something wasps: I need to know where I am shooting Igfig: The wasps don't do anything, since they're surprised Ace_Justice: oh okay then wasps: Oh. OK Igfig: this is why you all did the big ambush thing wasps 4buzz in place Igfig: so somebody place the ship Brigsby: Hero, you're the pilot I guess Igfig: and then Brigsby do something Brigsby: place that ship Ace_Justice: it is placed Ace_Justice: in the explosion Barvo: Hero is gone. Brigsby: oh Brigsby: okay, well where's the entrance to the base? We're doing this for treasure right? Alek_Deckard: Treasure and air. Barvo: you could technically drive the ship. Ace_Justice: oh I thought we were just randomly attacking Barvo: Yes, drive us inside that thing Alek_Deckard: And general destruction of pirates. Barvo: We get equalized air from it. wasps: Yeah, the air is kinda important Brigsby: Let's make this a guerrilla attack for the air and booty Igfig: The most important areas look to be up in the flowers Brigsby: I'll pilot the ship into the dock or whatever wasps: For that reason, you may want to keep the plant alive for a bit Ace_Justice: damn Igfig: there is something or other in the knottiest areas Igfig: but those areas are kind of on fire Ace_Justice: oh yeah wasps: Told you live plants could burn. Igfig: with enough intense application of heat, apparently so Igfig: also, lots of oxygen Ace_Justice: wait doesn't that means it is burning the oxygen we came for? Igfig: Let's make you guys a different colour Igfig: some of it, yes Brigsby: So I look around to see if I can see a usable entrance to the plant-base, do I see anything? Alek_Deckard: I'm sure there is plenty left. Alek_Deckard: It is a really big plant. Igfig: Yes... oh wait Brigsby: anything in the immediate area, at least Igfig: now that you're in the air envelope, you can hear something Alek_Deckard: Stuff burning? Brigsby: screams and stuff Igfig: no, not quite Ace_Justice: the screams of the damned Igfig: it seems to be coming from the flowers Barvo: considering the plant is like 1600 feet tall, we have got some time. Igfig: and it sounds like holdr: Girls Igfig: oh shit, where's the video holdr: millions upon millions of girls wasps: Hippie flower children Igfig: SLim, do you remember where thatYoutube video we had was? wasps: I can find it right quick Lucas_Strongbow: Immersion shattered Igfig: sorry Barvo: does it sound like vuvuzelas? Lucas_Strongbow: BEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSS wasps: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Cg3J8q9i8 Igfig: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5Cg3J8q9i8 wasps: Both of those at once Ace_Justice: this is the perfect song for the situation Igfig: amazingly, our choice of song is coincidence Igfig: but it looks like up inside of the flowers Igfig: there are a bunch of lizardmen with steel drums and other such instruments holdr: GAH Alek_Deckard: Damn pirates. Igfig: playing their hearts out Fortuna: Say please. holdr: BULLCRAP. YOU DID NOT CRASH ADOBE Brigsby: how much is a bunch Igfig: about one calypso band Ace_Justice: They're like the band on the Titanic Igfig: and it appears they have something to do with this force field around the flower Brigsby: So that's the entrance? wasps: They are probably wearing floral pattern shirts Ace_Justice: Sounds like the power of rock Igfig: and also the flailing leaves Igfig: it looks like that would be your ideal entrance, too Igfig: so yeah Barvo: They are music mages~! Alek_Deckard: Jammin shaman? Igfig: quite possibly Igfig: Also, some things to know while you're in the aloe leaves Brigsby: so let's bust in there and show 'em how to rock? Igfig: this area is difficult terrain for vehicles Ace_Justice: oh man Ace_Justice: I sense Igfig: That sounds like a good idea! Ace_Justice: a battle of the bands Brigsby: LET'S DO IT wasps: They are jammin' hard, mon Ace_Justice: HELL YEAH Ace_Justice: Ace can sing Brigsby: I man the helm and pilot to wherever it was Igfig said Brigsby: that's an Arcana check, right? Barvo: Barvo was on the mens choir in his old tribe. Ace_Justice: Ace is a well accomplished singer, he has a gold album Igfig: You're piloting? Yeah, Arcana check to helm it, and Acrobatics from the pilot Igfig: although you can do your music from any point int he same air envelope Ace_Justice: Let's rock our way into their shield Lucas_Strongbow: Should I do acrobatics then? Igfig: Yeah Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+13 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+13: [15] = 28 Ace_Justice: maybe we can turn our ballistaes into guitar strings Brigsby: 1d20+7 Arcana Fortuna: Brigsby, Arcana: [10] = 17 Lucas_Strongbow: Oh wait, BOON Lucas_Strongbow: That's 29 Igfig: Oh, and you see the more greenish hexes in the middle of the aloe? Igfig: Those areas have a profusion of small, fast-moving leaves Igfig: they look dangerous, in a different way from the large, slow ones Alek_Deckard: So avoid the hexes that want to kill us then. Igfig: Incidentally, Lucas, you manage to maneuver the ship around the large flailing leaves with great skill, avoiding them all Igfig: here is a secret: every hex on this map wants to kill you Igfig: some just more than others Ace_Justice: shit Igfig: anyway! Igfig: Go ahead and move that ship! Igfig: Remember, difficult terrain. Brigsby: okay, where was that entrance? Brigsby: the white, right? And where are those green hexes? Alek_Deckard: Inside the force field by the flower thing. Igfig: The green hexes are in the middle of the aloe--I should have made them brighter Igfig: I have a pointer on them Brigsby: Okay, I see them Brigsby: and everything else is difficult terrain? Ace_Justice: those green ones want to kill us/ Ace_Justice: ? Igfig: everything else in the aloe, yeah Ace_Justice: awesome Igfig: also there's fire in some places Brigsby: the fire is the red circles I'm guessing Igfig: you can probably guess that those areas will kill you too Igfig: yes Ace_Justice: who's turn is it Igfig: It i still Brigsby's actually Igfig: there was a lot of info dump going on Igfig: Heh, it's actually pretty handy that Brigsby's a singer Ace_Justice: Are you saying Ace can't sing? Brigsby: and the move action for the ship is 6, so difficult terrain everywhere on aloe Igfig: he can sing and helm the ship at the same time Ace_Justice: oh Brigsby: so that's three hexes Igfig: aright Brigsby: anything else I can do? I moved the ship and whatnot Igfig: well, you can always do stunts, for one Ace_Justice: do a backflip Brigsby: I forgot what those do holdr: DO A BARREL ROLL Igfig: you make a skill check to do something beyond the norm Ace_Justice: NO GOD DAMMIT Ace_Justice: I WAS TRYING TO AVOID THAT MEME Igfig: such as moving faster than usual Brigsby: I'll try that, I'm guessing arcana? Alek_Deckard: Draw hand please. Igfig: You can also use a standard action to do music stuff Igfig: Yep, arcana Alek_Deckard: Mulligan please. Fortuna: Alek_Deckard drew a new hand. Fortuna: Alek_Deckard drew CRAFTY STRIKE (U) Fortuna: Play when your at-will or encounter attack power hits an enemy granting you combat advantage. You gain a +4 bonus to the power's damage roll against the enemy. Fortuna: Alek_Deckard drew MIGHT MAKES RIGHT (U) Fortuna: Play when you make an intimidate or diplomacy check. You gain a bonus to the check equal to the number of unbloodied allies adjacent to you. Fortuna: Alek_Deckard drew MEASURED CUT (R) Fortuna: Play at the start of your turn. Once during your turn, you can take a minor action to gain a +2 to your next attack roll. Igfig: I'll also let you use Might Makes Right on a Perform check Igfig: it makes sense to me Brigsby: I focus more of my arcane energy into the helm, trying to squeeze every last bit of power out Brigsby: 1d20+7 arcana Fortuna: Brigsby, arcana: [7] = 14 Igfig: A good description is worth +2 Igfig: that's a total of 16, enough for an extra hex of movement Brigsby: awesome Igfig: (Really great descriptions and secondary checks can increase those bonuses further) Igfig: anything with your standard action, then? Brigsby: All the guns are operated by everyone else, right? Igfig: yeah Brigsby: I guess that's my turn then Igfig: No music? Ok. Brigsby: I'm too focused on trying to pilot this thing that I've never driven to sing right now Igfig: aright Igfig: Holdr! holdr: ALRIGHT holdr: I don't think there's anything I can stab Igfig: nope Igfig: Can you music? holdr: AND- OH SCREW YOU ADOBE. I have to restart firefox. holdr: I'll just do nothing holdr: I suppose holdr: Be right back Barvo: holdr holds Igfig: we'll let you delay til' you're back holdr quit. Igfig: Lucas! Lucas_Strongbow: I assume there's nothing to do combat wise Lucas_Strongbow: So, therefore, it's time to ROCK Igfig: Well, there are those two Wasps out there Igfig: and you're definitely a good gunner Lucas_Strongbow: I guess. Igfig: as well as the pilot Igfig: but rocking is definitely a good option! wasps 4buzz around threateningly Lucas_Strongbow: So i should stay piloting really Lucas_Strongbow: While rocking out Igfig: You can do both! Lucas_Strongbow: Is rocking a minor? handofevil joined #pwot_dnd. Igfig: Tie your bass to the steering wheel or something Igfig: Rocking is a standard Igfig: steering is a move Igfig: so you're good Lucas_Strongbow: That's rhythm guitar boyo Igfig: right, Vyr is the bass Lucas_Strongbow: Okay, rocking it is Lucas_Strongbow: I hear the calypso music, it's alright Lucas_Strongbow: But not great Igfig: Oh I should mention Igfig: you /can/ make a secondary check as a minor action Lucas_Strongbow: I pull out my guitar, dust it off (it's been a while) and place it around my shoulders. It feels good. It feels RIGHT. Igfig: such as to give yourself or someone else a bonus Lucas_Strongbow: I bust out a riff. catchy loud, kind of like ST Lucas_Strongbow: Start Me Up, even Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+11 performance Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, performance: [16] = 27 Igfig: Oh yeah! Lucas_Strongbow: You never forget. It's like riding a bike Igfig: That's one success, plus: Igfig: your riff sets a good rhythm for everyone else to follw Lucas_Strongbow: And that's my turn Igfig: so everyone else has a persistent +1 bonus to perform holdr: Shame Holdr is security wasps: The steel drums play louder to combat the impressive riff Igfig: The steel drums come back with an upbeat funky--yes, that Ace_Justice: Bastards are trying to cover our guitar with drums Igfig: Slim, you want to do the Perform checks for the pirates? wasps: 1d20+11 Fortuna: wasps, 1d20+11: [13] = 24 Ace_Justice: shit Lucas_Strongbow: For some reason, all I can hear in my head is this www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbCTf6qxcS4 Lucas_Strongbow: www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbCTf6qxcS4 Lucas_Strongbow: Link, damn you Ace_Justice: This works wasps: The pirates play really fucking hard Ace_Justice: I was imagining S Club 7 wasps: playing the fuck out of those drums Fortuna: Say please. Ace_Justice: or maybe ELO Igfig: I have to make Fortuna stop looking for the word "play" everywhere Ace_Justice: Fortuna loves to play Fortuna smiles shyly. Ace_Justice: HAW Lucas_Strongbow: ELO are goddamn amazing Ace_Justice: Elo are hilarious Ace_Justice: I can't help but laugh when I listen to those songs wasps: The pirates play so hard they gain a consistent +1 to preform Igfig: persistent Igfig: (Persistent bonuses last until that side fails a check, or until the other side takes steps to negate their bonuses) Ace_Justice: Holdr's turn? Barvo: Holdr! Join me in a chorus! holdr: Holdr can't do anything really holdr: Very well Barvo: We shall sing a song of battle! wasps: Wait, did the wasps go? Ace_Justice: ermm holdr: 1d20+5 for a chorus I suppose? Fortuna: holdr, for a chorus I suppose?: [10] = 15 Igfig: I think the wasps were surprised Ace_Justice: maybe? Ace_Justice: yeah they wer Ace_Justice: were wasps: Oh yeah wasps: durr Igfig: Yeah Holdr, that's good enough to give someone a +2 on their next Perform Ace_Justice: I need all the +2's I can get Igfig: If you can figure out a way to use a skill that you're better at, you'll be able to grant even bigger bonuses Igfig: In any case, I guess it's Ace's turn? Lucas_Strongbow: I just realised, with Fingers gone, we're without a lead guitarist Igfig: oh snap Lucas_Strongbow: I'VE JUST BEEN PROMOTED Ace_Justice: GOOD MAN Brigsby: Yous is Skwisgaars now Ace_Justice: NOW ROCK THE FUCK OUT Lucas_Strongbow: I am so Skwisgaar holdr: Athletics and Endurance are literally the only good skills holdr has Ace_Justice: use endurance to be a cheer leader Ace_Justice: cheer leading is really tiring Lucas_Strongbow: That means I was Toki before. Damn, I like Toki Brigsby: You're still Toki, you just have a Fingers wig on Lucas_Strongbow: I'll still be Toki. This is Thunderhorse, not Dethklok Brigsby: Thunderhorse, Firepony, same thing Barvo: ANyway Barvo: get on with it. Igfig: Okay! Ace! Ace_Justice: Alrighty Ace_Justice: I had this copy pasted Ace_Justice: Ace moves to the deck of the ship, and begins his one of a kind singing. His lips smack together, his teeth clack against each other, his tongueless mouth forming sounds only he can make, and yet it is the sound of angels. Ace_Justice: 1d20+9 preform to sing Fortuna: Ace_Justice, preform to sing: [5] = 14 Ace_Justice: god dammit Brigsby: I'm the lead singer you ragamuffin Alek_Deckard: He's a beatboxer. Lucas_Strongbow: Ace should play Drums wasps: Your lyrics are less than stellar Ace_Justice: "OOOOOHHMMMMMGGHHUUKKKLLLMPPPPMMMMMOOOOO" Lucas_Strongbow: Seems the type Igfig: Luckily you have those bonuses from Lucas and Holdr Ace_Justice: "WUUAAAAAAAAMMMMMHHUUPPPPPPP Igfig: total of +3 Ace_Justice: Ace is a great singer, it's just difficult in tense situations Ace_Justice: 17 then? Igfig: yeah, and that's just barely enough for a success Ace_Justice: *phew* Ace_Justice: I'll use a secondary skill check Ace_Justice: 1d20+12 endurance to cheer lead our side Fortuna: Ace_Justice, endurance to cheer lead our side : [11] = 23 Igfig: that was a pretty good one Ace_Justice: I do mad flips and rolls Ace_Justice: wave my arms around in a sporadic dance of joy Ace_Justice: Empowering our faithful band, and spurning them ever farther into the powers of rock Igfig: it was just a minor action thing though, so the bonus will be pretty small Ace_Justice: Oh well Ace_Justice: end turn Igfig: Choose: +2 to next check, or persistent +1? Ace_Justice: hmm Ace_Justice: +2 to the next check Barvo: (+2) Barvo: thanks Igfig: Aright Barvo: Caught up in the rhythm and sound. Barvo does a primal dance. Synching with the music body and mind. Barvo: Acrobatics! Barvo: 1d20+6+2+1 Fortuna: Barvo, 1d20+6+2+1: [20] = 29 Barvo: Fuck yeah! Ace_Justice: holy balls Igfig: Well, the +2 would be to the next Perform check, not to a secondary check... Aryanni: Bravo! Barvo: Okay Igfig: and I don' think you needed it anyway Ace_Justice: Bravo Barvo! Igfig: as for the, uh, natural 20 Ace_Justice: Barvo breaks down and does a kickin' break dance Igfig: Ideas, Slim? Igfig: This sounds like an ideal place for something unusual to happen Ace_Justice: He distracts the other band with his wild movements? Barvo: He embodies the primal spirits? Ace_Justice: Or he moves so heroicly that the wild energy in the primal spirits erupts out of him Ace_Justice: causing flames and electricity to swirly around him Igfig: Looks like Slim disappeared Ace_Justice: adding the howls of wolves in tune to our music Igfig: okay wasps: I was researching Ace_Justice: swirl around him* wasps: 1d20+5 Fortuna: wasps, 1d20+5: [3] = 8 Ace_Justice: I wouldn't wanna try and give barvo a swirly wasps: Shit Igfig: What just happened? wasps: Your intense rock soundwaves knock the pirates off balance wasps: They lose their next +1 Igfig: Yeah, they lose their persistent bonus Igfig: and they also don't get to make their next perform check Barvo: Barrrvo! Igfig: so basically you guys are now one check ahead of them Barvo: cool Igfig: Alek turn! Barvo: I have a +0 to either perform check anyway Igfig: heheh Barvo: Go! Alek_Deckard: No Aryanni's turn, look at the initiatives. Barvo: Barvo is security Igfig: oh Igfig: someone mistyped Igfig: Aryanni! Aryanni: 1d20+14 to move the ship Fortuna: Aryanni, to move the ship: [19] = 33 Igfig: Aryanni's at the helm now? Alek_Deckard: Aryanni is taking over at the helm, yes. Lucas_Strongbow: Acrobatics? holdr: Wait. I thought we all had a +5 to perform Barvo: technically Igfig: Not everybody is trained in Perform I think Aryanni: yeah, Brigs and I pulled a switcheroo holdr: Welp. No more +5 for me then Igfig: some people took regular backgrounds Barvo: Oh right Igfig: it's completely your choice! Barvo: Barvo has no background Igfig: Then his background can be the perform one Barvo: He sort of just showed up one day Barvo: His background is more likely in smashing. Lucas_Strongbow: Make him the drummer Aryanni: 1d20+14 to attune the airwaves all magic like and turn this shit up to 11!!! Fortuna: Aryanni, to attune the airwaves all magic like and turn this shit up to 11!!!: [7] = 21 Ace_Justice: can you make a y sound without a tongue? Igfig: Okay Aryanni... actually, you don't need to make an Arcana check to move the ship normally, just if you want to do a stunt Barvo: can the drummer do strength checks? wasps: You somehow make the ship powerslide 90 degrees Igfig: so what kind of stunt would you like to do? Igfig: Oh Igfig: That works wasps: He just wanted to turn it, yes? Frogbone quit. Igfig: Attunign the airwaves all magic like and turning it up to 11 wasps: And powerslides are fucking sweet wasps: Not to mention a ship doing one. wasps: In space. Aryanni: Pull the powerslide, make us look fucking awesome, sounds good. Igfig: Right on Igfig: 33 is an excellent result Ace_Justice: powersliding a space ship? Aryanni: it CAN be done...maybe >.> Igfig: I think that's a full +4 to the next Perform check Brigsby quit. Igfig: Also: Are you moving the ship anywhere? Aryanni: to the right W? Aryanni: so we can broadside, with rock! Igfig: Okay, sounds good Igfig: Also with lasers I hope Alek_Deckard: Right, how many squares? PwotMoose joined #pwot_dnd. Igfig: Oh, and Lucas make an Acrobatics check to pilot Alek_Deckard: Or hexes I suppose. Alek_Deckard: Buddy has issues seeing the colors. Igfig: You can move three hexes Alek_Deckard: Kay. Lucas_Strongbow: 1d20+14 Fortuna: Lucas_Strongbow, 1d20+14: [3] = 17 Ace_Justice: balls Lucas_Strongbow: Ooh Igfig: 17? Uhoh Ace_Justice: uhh oohhhh Lucas_Strongbow: Can't all be winners Ace_Justice: quick use might makes right! Alek_Deckard: That won't help with this. Ace_Justice: you've got 6 unbloodied people around yoy Ace_Justice: you Igfig: One of those big swinging leaves comes out of nowhere and batters the unnamed ship in the side Ace_Justice: oh yeah we need a name for this ship Ace_Justice: I forgot about that Igfig: 1d20+8 vs Fort Fortuna: Igfig, vs Fort: [6] = 14 Lucas_Strongbow: I was distracted by Barvo's wonderful dance Igfig: luckily your ship is extremely well-armoured Ace_Justice: we all were Ace_Justice: we all were... Igfig: and the leaf bounces right off Ace_Justice: well grass isn't very effective against steel Igfig: believe me, you don't want to get hit solidly by one of those Igfig: each leaf is about 8 times as long as your ship Ace_Justice: holy fuck Igfig: and much thiker Igfig: thicker Igfig: actually, more like 10 times, I miscounted Igfig: Anyway Igfig: who's up next? Igfig: Alek? Barvo: Alek Ace_Justice: yeah Alek_Deckard: Civilian Laser Cannon time! Alek_Deckard: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 1d20+7: [10] = 17 Alek_Deckard: vs. That wasp we are near now. Alek_Deckard: Not a very good roll. Igfig: Only +7, really? Ace_Justice: we've all been getting bad rolls today Alek_Deckard: Well, probably not sure. Alek_Deckard: Wait, +9, forgot the half-level stuff, and, the other stuff is for implements only, so yeah. Alek_Deckard: So a 19. Igfig: I think that's a hit, Slim? Brigsby quit. PwotMoose joined #pwot_dnd. Brigsby: Mibbit keeps kicking me off Igfig: Yeah, it is Igfig: Exactly a hit Alek_Deckard: 4d6+4 Fortuna: Alek_Deckard, 4d6+4: [3, 6, 2, 6] = 21 wasps: Yes hit Alek_Deckard: 21 damage to the wasp on the right then. wasps: Do we have a person in charge of taking damage? Igfig: Hm? Igfig: That's easy enough for me to write down Igfig: it's in the Scribblar chat pane Igfig: Also, I just realized how few ranged-weapon people we have these days Ace_Justice: I have a sling Ace_Justice: I made sure to grab it just in case Brigsby: I'm all ranged Igfig: Far-walker and Milo don't seem to show up any more wasps 4buzz really angrily Ace_Justice: Milo never shows up anyways Igfig: I mean ranged-/weapon/ Lucas_Strongbow: Is it just me? Ace_Justice: Go get 'em lucas Ace_Justice: Hero can be a ranged mage Igfig: because people with ranged weapon powers are a lot more effective with vehicle ranged weapons... Lucas_Strongbow: Oh lord, the PRESSURE Ace_Justice: DON'T FUCK UP LUCAS Barvo: Hero is based on int Barvo: rather than text Barvo: dex* Ace_Justice: oh Igfig: I think maybe I'll allow people to use any weapon attack as a ranged attack with a vehicle weapon Ace_Justice: Hell Ace_Justice: yes Ace_Justice: Launch my axe at them Igfig: even if the power is only supposed to be used with a ranged weapon Igfig: er Alek_Deckard: And then there is me with my implements, teehee. Igfig: even if the power is only supposed to be used with a /melee/ weapon Lucas_Strongbow: The problem is, I'm the only one with ranged weapon attacks, but I'm the pilot Lucas_Strongbow: I can't leave Ace_Justice: switch with someone/ Ace_Justice: ? Igfig: and oh, I have something else up my sleeve for you implement folks Ace_Justice: I have er, Alek_Deckard: Dun dun dun? Ace_Justice: +2 arcana Ace_Justice: that will do right? Igfig: no Alek_Deckard: He's the pilot, that means acrobatics. Igfig: arcana is not used to pliot Ace_Justice: 1d20 for I bet it will Fortuna: Ace_Justice, for I bet it will: [16] = 16 Ace_Justice: oh Ace_Justice: well never mind then Ace_Justice: also sorry for whoever's roll I just stole Ace_Justice: Who's turn is it anyways? Brigsby: Mine, I think Igfig: for now, you can use melee weapon powers with your ballistae as if they were ranged Igfig: Oh, the F Aryanni: Oh F! Alek_Deckard: Yeah it is Brigsby's turn, I can't think of much, oh yeah the F at the end of the list that isn't there anymore. Igfig: You see some activity in the left flower, the one that doesn't have the band inside Aryanni: Flower Power! Igfig: 1d20+8-2 vs ship Reflex Fortuna: Igfig, vs ship Reflex: [12] = 18 Alek_Deckard: Damn, hit. Igfig: wait, sorry Brigsby: Well, someone else is at the helm now, right? Igfig: should have been -5, it has a really bad angle on you right now Alek_Deckard: Yeah Aryanni is. Alek_Deckard: Oh, then it is a miss, hooray! Brigsby: Alright, Lucas, are you using the weapon stuff now? Igfig: A blast of some kind of primal spell magnified ten times over flares out of the flower, narrowly missing you and detonating off in empty space Igfig: in a whirl of vines and grinding eartlh holdr: Holdr pulls out a couch and falls asleep Igfig: it looks like it's designed to shoot out into space, not back into the tangle Igfig: hence the inaccuracy Igfig: it's a good thing you guys came in under cover, though Barvo: heehee Igfig: would not have been fun to face something like that in the open wasps: Holdr sleeps a lot wasps: Must be an iron deficiency.

Brigsby: but still really dangerous Brigsby: or Sven Igfig: the other Wasp fires its ballista Alek_Deckard: Or Sven.

Alek_Deckard: Maybe minus the proficiency bonus from your weapon? Alek_Deckard: And feats relating to it. Igfig: The dead shark is much easier, and you'd use a plain strength check; the live one you have to wrangle and wrestle, and you'd have to make an unarmed Strength attack Barvo: wrangle it holdr: Oh crap holdr: Uh Barvo: also, do we have a healer? Igfig: Str vs. Reflex holdr: Why must my unarmed be based off of d- VERY WELL Igfig: what?
