Igfig: Hello Fortuna! Fortuna: Hello. Orrin_Torrin: Hello my sweet Fortuna. Fortuna: Good evening. Orrin_Torrin: Ha! Orrin_Torrin: She's good. Varis_Dicksuck: 1d20 fuck you fortuna what will you do if i swear at you in a dice roll Fortuna: Mm-hmm. Varis_Dicksuck: SHE WOTN ROLL Varis_Dicksuck: rood the_boat: what up Fortuna the_boat: ah yeah Igfig: NOTE recognize 'sweet', 'what up' as keywords Fortuna: Noted. Igfig: Anyway! Igfig: Eberron. Igfig: Last time: Blaze: Is a place. Varis_Dicksuck: that place with the things the_boat: what up Fortuna Orrin_Torrin: Eberron is a place on Earth. the_boat: hm Orrin_Torrin: Well, it's not. Varis_Dicksuck: its not on earth Orrin_Torrin: But that one song. Varis_Dicksuck: you lose Varis_Dicksuck: orrin takes 50d10 damage Orrin_Torrin: 50d10 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 50d10: [7, 5, 5, 8, 2, 8, 6, 8, 6, 4, 6, 2, 5, 4, 3, 10, 1, 9, 6, 1, 3, 10, 4, 5, 9, 3, 2, 10, 10, 4, 7, 9, 9, 6, 4, 6, 1, 7, 8, 1, 6, 6, 10, 7, 2, 6, 10, 9, 8, 10] = 298 Varis_Dicksuck: yup you're dead Orrin_Torrin: Oh well. Orrin_Torrin: Good adventure guys! Igfig: You pulled off a daring heist on a lightning rail, fighting off one of the Brelish Dark Lanterns and a number of Aundarian agents the_boat: we did? the_boat: cool cool Igfig: to secure a cargo of valuable Khyber dragonshards Varis_Amastacia: yeah you were there remember Varis_Amastacia: i forgot to call you to teleport us out Orrin_Torrin: I got a sweet weapon I named "Ol' Shifty." Orrin_Torrin: Ben wasn't actually there. Orrin_Torrin: We just said we rode the boat away. the_boat: well yeah Igfig: also Orrin stole the Dark Lantern lady's dynamic weapon, yeah the_boat: last sunday was us por Igfig: We return to you in a posh club in the upper reaches of Sharn, where you are meeting with your client for the heist the_boat: also yo, for anyone not in the know, this is my character description http://tinysong.com/hyw2 Varis_Amastacia: i didnt realize wehad a client Varis_Amastacia: well okay then Blaze: Excellent choice ben. Varis_Amastacia: we ar ebeing payed a assume Orrin_Torrin: Orrin is drinking and laughing and trying to get somebody to play cards with him. Orrin_Torrin: As charlatan dwarves are wont to do. Varis_Amastacia: in a better way than all the gold these dragonshards could net us? Igfig: Well, I mean they gave you the tip as to where the shipment was, and they agreed to buy the dragonshards from you if you got them Varis_Amastacia: oh alright then Igfig: There's probably a more specific word than 'client' Varis_Amastacia: yeah Varis_Amastacia: to make sure no one over hears us Varis_Amastacia: we are speaking in the hidden language of cards and swearing Varis_Amastacia: orrin deals a king Varis_Amastacia: a subtle message for "we retrieved the loot, and are ready to sell" the_boat: for character purposes, tonights drink of choice is fireball Varis_Amastacia: im not 19 yet Igfig: Your client is a man by the name of Halak Boromar, representing the Boromar clan Orrin_Torrin: We just robbed a train by cooking a dozen men alive, I think you can break the drinking age. Varis_Amastacia: but thats ILLEGAL Varis_Amastacia: and all good pirates follow the law Igfig: which is the major organized crime syndicate in Sharn the_boat: well thats just cruel Blaze: It was only like, 3 or 4 who were in the oven car. Blaze: Maybe 5. Varis_Amastacia: more like boromar boromar the_boat: should have cooked them dead Varis_Amastacia: i think there was 7 actually the_boat: instead of making them live through that Blaze: Well I tried to ben, I did, but some people just insist on being alive. the_boat: nerds Igfig: The Boromars are a family of halflings, with ties to House Jorasco, and it's said the Aurum as well Orrin_Torrin: Orrin is loudly, drunkenly relating the tale of his epic duel with the Dark Lantern. Orrin_Torrin: He is of course, not actually drunk. Orrin_Torrin: Just pretending to be. the_boat: do we know these people Varis_Amastacia: Varus is trying to just sell the dragonshards and get out because a crowded club has far too many eavesdroppers Igfig: Not well, I think Blaze: You're, well you're probably in the boat right now. I don't know how appreciative people would be of a fire elemental being in their tavern. Orrin_Torrin: I'm guessing if this guy's as big as Ig says he is, we have a VIP room or something. Blaze: So I'm probably watching the ship and hanging out. Orrin_Torrin: Clandestine crime-lord meetings in bars tend to be pretty secure. the_boat drinking in the boat then Varis_Amastacia: like Omega 3 Igfig: You've done some work for them before, but this is the first time you've met this guy in particular Igfig: he's pretty high up Igfig: got a sort of shit-eating smirk on his face Igfig: because he knows he's better than you Varis_Amastacia: lets kill him Orrin_Torrin: Aww, I wanted to be best friends with him. Varis_Amastacia: he has an annoying grin Varis_Amastacia: that is the cardinal sin Blaze: Our private stash is probably significantly cheaper then any of the booze in the club anyways. Orrin_Torrin: MY NATURAL MAGNETISM MUST OVERCOME HIS ARROGANCE. Varis_Amastacia: we don't have a private stash anymore sorry Varis_Amastacia: alchohol is flammable Varis_Amastacia: and Varis_Amastacia: well Varis_Amastacia: fire elemetnal Orrin_Torrin: Ben. Igfig: so you're talking with him up on the balcony overlooking the main room of the place Blaze: Well yeah, ben is drinking it. the_boat: :D Varis_Amastacia: alright Igfig: he's got a bunch of his crew with him, two humans and two halflings Varis_Amastacia: dang Orrin_Torrin: "So I says to her, 'Ye're with me, pretty,' and I kid you not; I grabbed Ol' Shifty by the point and pulled her right off the train with me!" Varis_Amastacia: cant just assassinate him then Igfig: and a gnome who's examining the sample you brought along Orrin_Torrin: "Shame she had to go and fall off into the river, had a rear end to stop you right in your tracks." Varis_Amastacia: "As you can see, your tip was correct through and through, high quality dragon shards ready to be sold" Igfig: who looks up with an odd expression Igfig: "This shard is already bound. It's useless for our needs." Varis_Amastacia: welp Igfig: Halak frowns Varis_Amastacia: "What's it bound to? Maybe we could retrieve that too" Igfig: Varis, make an initiative check Varis_Amastacia: like Varis_Amastacia: an init roll? Igfig: yeah Varis_Amastacia: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+1: [19] = 20 Varis_Amastacia: YOOOOOOOOO Orrin_Torrin: OH SHIT. Igfig: I just said check to make it clear that it wasn't a "roll initiative" situation Igfig: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+3: [10] = 13 Varis_Amastacia: oh ok the_boat: so this thing says i am immune to poison, i can drink however much and not have to worry about ill effects! the_boat: whattup Blaze: Yup, you have the fortitude of pure flame. the_boat: burning through this the_boat: ky yeah Igfig: So even as you start saying that, Halak is fluidly drawing a hand crossbow from under the table and pointing it in your face Orrin_Torrin: Can I be equally fluidly flipping the table at him? Igfig: well, you can make an init check too if you like Orrin_Torrin: I mean if we're about to fight. Orrin_Torrin: I'm not gonna sit out. Igfig: Varis, you have time to get a wand out too, if you like Orrin_Torrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20: [19] = 19 Orrin_Torrin: CHYEA. Varis_Amastacia: DANG Orrin_Torrin: Flip the table on his face. Varis_Amastacia: DANGARANG Igfig: this isn't a fight, quite Varis_Amastacia: but yeah im definitely whipping out my wands Blaze: It's just a tense situation. Igfig: specifically, a mexican standoff Orrin_Torrin: Am I sitting at the table with him or with one of hte guards? Orrin_Torrin: I'm sitting at a table with somebody. Igfig: Same table, probably Igfig: I think what happens is Halak stands up and Varis stands up, crossbow to wand Igfig: and the Orrin just flips the table, separately Orrin_Torrin: Well I'll jsut take out a guard if that's the case. Orrin_Torrin: I throw my drink in the nearest guard's face as I draw Ol' Shifty. Igfig: uh, make a strength check Igfig: for the table Igfig: oh Orrin_Torrin: If the table isn't gonna do anything, I'm not about to waste a 19. Igfig: Well I mean, you can throw it in whatever direction you like Igfig: maybe you'll hit him Orrin_Torrin: Alright, I throw the table at him. Igfig: it'll just take a Strength check Igfig: and then an attack roll Orrin_Torrin: 1d20+3 str Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, str: [20] = 23 Orrin_Torrin: SHIT YEAH. Igfig: actually maybe a dex save on his part Blaze: Alright, so that table is gone, along with almost anything it hits. Igfig: 1d20+6 Dex save Fortuna: Igfig, Dex save: [15] = 21 Igfig: it goes past him as he steps to the side Igfig: the gnome... Igfig: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [11] = 12 Igfig: is bowled over Igfig: "You fucking with us?" Halak snarls the_boat keeps chillin in the ship Igfig: "What the fuck is the meaning of this?" Orrin_Torrin: Orrin deftly catches his ale, which somehow landed right-side up. Orrin_Torrin: "Now, boys. It was your tip." Blaze chats with a stray bird on the ship deck. Igfig: Oh, is Blaze not here either? the_boat: nah we outside Blaze: I leaned towards me watching the ship, so we're just outside the club probably. Varis_Amastacia: "Well how the hell were we supposed to know they were bound?! You were the one who told us what to get and we got them, YOUR information was the mistake" Blaze: Heck, really we could probably see the balcony now that I think on it. Igfig: The ship is probably not thaaat close, Sharn's streets are not really big enough for an airship Blaze: Though I suppose that depends on if they had parking close by. Blaze: Yeah, so nevermind that then. Igfig: A couple minutes away, maybe Igfig: normally you'd walk or take a skycap Igfig: skycab Blaze: Yeah, my thinking was Blaze isn't too much of a people person still, so he wouldn't necessarily go to meet the client, plus it tends to be useful to have someone on the ship in case of "inspections". the_boat: "hey blaze, i bet i can hold my breath longer than you" Blaze: "Do you even breath?" Varis_Amastacia: well fire needs oxygen the_boat: "well no, but thats not the point" Igfig: "That's bullshit you're talking. There's no reason for the shards to be bound already. You think you can play games with me?!" Varis_Amastacia: does ben even lift Varis_Amastacia: "Do you think we have the know how, or had the time to bind all these shards we picked up LAST NIGHT?" Blaze: "Then what's the point?" the_boat shrugs and goes back to drinking Igfig: He takes a step around the wrecked table, keeping his crossbow trained on Varis Igfig: The room below has gone silent Igfig: the thugs shift in their seats Igfig: "You're a wizard, aren't you? He could do something like that, couldn't he? Castar." Igfig: glancing over to the gnome who's struggling out from under the table Igfig: "Maybe? It doesn't take very long to bind just a few shards, in theory" Varis_Amastacia: "I could tell you the chemical makeup of your entire body, I could tell you how to turn a magical beam into a 50 mile death ray, and I could tell you how to summon a sprite using only a deck of cards, but no, I cannot tell you how to bind a dragonshard because that is not something I ever learned" Igfig: (this last from the gnome) Varis_Amastacia: "I'm a wizard, I use magic, not technology" Igfig: ? Igfig: Uh Varis_Amastacia: i know Igfig: this is eberron Orrin_Torrin: "Look, fellas. There were at least two other crews trying to get their hands on these shards last night." Igfig: there is no difference Varis_Amastacia: my wizard sees it as a different thing Varis_Amastacia: dragonshards lack the ~finesse~ Igfig: okay Varis_Amastacia: of spellcasting Igfig: uh Orrin_Torrin: "If you didn't tell anybody else about 'em, there's more going on here than we know." Varis_Amastacia: think of it like this ig Igfig: we'll have to talk more about how dragonshards work later Varis_Amastacia: he spent decades learning all this magic and how to do it Varis_Amastacia: but anyone can get a dragonshard and use it presumably Igfig: no Varis_Amastacia: without learning the spells Varis_Amastacia: oh Varis_Amastacia: welp Igfig: not at all Varis_Amastacia: i thought of dragonshards like batteries Igfig: dragonshards are basically focuses Igfig: sort of, yeah Igfig: but you can't run a flashlight with just a battery Igfig: you need a lightbulb Varis_Amastacia: ok lets take back that thing i just said then Varis_Amastacia: and revert it to Orrin_Torrin: I feel like the thing I said is fine. Varis_Amastacia: *Shrug* "Honestly I never learned how to bind dragonshards" Varis_Amastacia: and what orrin said Blaze: Meanwhile Blaze and the_boat are making popcorn. Igfig: Khyber dragonshards, specifically, are used for binding effects, like the one that fixes an elemental into the ring of an airship Igfig: "I don't believe you." the_boat: its butter, of course Igfig: He gets a cruel half-grin Blaze: Of course of course. Varis_Amastacia: does my gun use dragonshards igfig Igfig: probably, yeah. Eberron shards though, since it channels spells Varis_Amastacia: dang the_boat: butter in one hand, kernals in the other, best popcorn machine Varis_Amastacia: i would have shown it and been like see no dragonshards in this thing Orrin_Torrin: "So I just got a magic weapon and we're covered in injuries from what... the cooks?" Varis_Amastacia: my signature weapon the_boat: clap and made Orrin_Torrin: Can I make like... a persuasion role or is this DM stuff? Orrin_Torrin: roll* Igfig: well, it doesn't have to use dragonshards Varis_Amastacia: lets assume it doesnt so i can do the thing Igfig: and workign with an eberron shard isn't binding at all, it's a different sort of thing Varis_Amastacia: its super secret highly exprimental technology Varis_Amastacia: I hold up my gun wand and show it off Varis_Amastacia: "looky here, no dragonshards on my own signature weapons" Varis_Amastacia: "don't you think if I knew how I would have used them?" Varis_Amastacia: "much easier than cobbling this together" Varis_Amastacia: im gunna add a roll Varis_Amastacia: persuasion but im not proficient in it Varis_Amastacia: so just my regular cha mod to it? the_boat: (/me pees in one of the empty bottles and puts it back on the shelf) Igfig: Yep Varis_Amastacia: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+2: [5] = 7 Igfig: and yeah Orrin, you can do the same if you like Varis_Amastacia: argh Varis_Amastacia: salvage me orrin Orrin_Torrin: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20+4: [10] = 14 Orrin_Torrin: Or do I get a bonus for training it? Blaze: Wouldn't it just be a bottle full of flame if a fire elemental peed in it? Igfig: If you're trained in a skill, you get to add your proficiency bonus too Blaze: It means you get your proficiency bonus in it as well. Yar. Igfig: which should be... +3? Orrin_Torrin: Yeah. Orrin_Torrin: So 17. Orrin_Torrin: Couldn't remember how it worked for a sec. the_boat: it says i dont eat, sleep or breathe, nothing about drinking, so i thought i must need to do that Igfig: "Sure, all right, you fought some blokes. But somewhere in there, you fucked up." Varis_Amastacia: "Was there more than one shipment?" Igfig: He gets a cruel half-grin Blaze: He really likes his half-grins, I wonder if it is because he is a halfling. Varis_Amastacia: OOOOOOOH Varis_Amastacia: 1d20 sick burn yo Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, sick burn yo: [8] = 8 Igfig: Actually the first half-grin was supposed to come here Varis_Amastacia: its a meh burn the_boat: maybe half his face is paralyzed Igfig: but you sidetracked me Orrin_Torrin: "Now look, you wanna go toe to toe over a mix-up in YOUR intel, we can throw down right now. But you see this symbol?" I brandish the symbol of Kol Korran. "You think a guy with this on his damn chest is about to taint his OWN cargo?" Igfig: and we talked about some other things before I could say this next thing Igfig: "And I don't think we'll need to pay full price for a haul that isn't as promised." Blaze: I'd say he may have trouble with half-assing things, but he probably couldn't get to the position he is in in his organization that way. Blaze: Oh snap, he wants it half-off. Igfig: Blaze and Boat, perception checks? Varis_Amastacia: you know I'll tkae this deal Varis_Amastacia: we didnt pay anything to get the shipment Blaze: 1d20+6 perception check. Fortuna: Blaze, perception check.: [11] = 17 Varis_Amastacia: we still walk away with a profit Varis_Amastacia: "How much of a discount are you talking" Orrin_Torrin: Orrin is absolutely not okay with this deal. Igfig: "All of it." the_boat: 1d20-2 perception Fortuna: the_boat, perception: [15] = 13 Varis_Amastacia: "Bullshit you don't deserve the hair on my ass for free, let alone a shipment of shards we fought and bled for" Igfig: There are some guys and halflings coming toward your dock Varis_Amastacia: god dammit Igfig: and towering behind them, a pair of minotaurs the_boat: how much do you charge per ass hair? Varis_Amastacia: I charge 15 gold per hair Blaze: Right, see, "inspections", just like I was thinking. Varis_Amastacia: well ben can just take off Varis_Amastacia: and be like lmao bye the_boat: "YOOO" Varis_Amastacia: TAKE OFF BEN Varis_Amastacia: OUTIE Varis_Amastacia: OLLIE OUTIE Orrin_Torrin: Well, looks like we'll need a hostage then. Orrin_Torrin: Hey look, a crime boss! Varis_Amastacia: orrin wanna flip another table Igfig: Also Ben, Perception is wisdom-based, but anyway Varis_Amastacia: or Igfig: yeah Orrin, you really should have saved the table flip for now Orrin_Torrin: I want to smash this lil' bitch with a hammer. Varis_Amastacia: igfig Orrin_Torrin: Eh, that'd be OOC stuff. Varis_Amastacia: theoretically Varis_Amastacia: is everyone here Orrin_Torrin: I did it when it made sense for me to do it. Varis_Amastacia: within 15 feet of me Blaze: I shall stand at the top of the gangplank for now, leaning against the rail in plain view. Igfig: because now, if you want, you can roll initiative for real Igfig: yes they are Varis Varis_Amastacia: then i wanna get a surprise on them Varis_Amastacia: I sigh Varis_Amastacia: and say the_boat: can i throw burning things from my hands Igfig: there is no way they'll be surprised Varis_Amastacia: "fine just take it I want this done with" Varis_Amastacia: and turn around Igfig: because you are in a mexican standoff Varis_Amastacia: I lower my gun Orrin_Torrin: Yeah we're way too far for surprise attacks. Varis_Amastacia: YOU'LL SEE Igfig: okay Varis_Amastacia: the gun is lowered Varis_Amastacia: I am facing orrin and slyly winking the_boat: the_boat can i throw burning things from my hands Igfig: all right, he lowers his crossbow Igfig: one sec boat Varis_Amastacia: AND I CAST THUNDERWAVE OF COURSE Blaze: "This is a private vessel, sirs, I'm going to have to ask you to leave our docks." Blaze: No problem. Varis_Amastacia: to the surprise of no one anywhere Igfig: actually, make a bluff check Varis Varis_Amastacia: disception/ Igfig: deception, yeah Varis_Amastacia: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+5: [12] = 17 Varis_Amastacia: oh babbyyy Varis_Amastacia: dats the stuff i do like Igfig: yeah okay, he lowers his crossbow, the thugs all relax Igfig: and then, boom Varis_Amastacia: and then comes the thunderwave Varis_Amastacia: let me look at what the roll is Orrin_Torrin: BRING THE THUNDA. Igfig: let's cut back to the ship for a second now though Igfig: so we can coordinate all the inits Varis_Amastacia: sure the_boat: can i throw hot things from my hands Igfig: Let's say yes you can the_boat: wooo! Varis_Amastacia: ben Varis_Amastacia: you have gallons of alcohol Varis_Amastacia: toss it on them Varis_Amastacia: splash it around a lil the_boat: i got a handful of burning oil Blaze: We aren't attacking them quite yet though Ben, we don't know that they intend to attack us. the_boat: and nowhere to go Igfig: yeah Igfig: anyway, as you were saying the_boat: right on Igfig: the halfling in front is all "We're from Boromar. Here to pick up the shipment, y'know." the_boat: "somebody already took it, check with you boss" Varis_Amastacia: what kind of a voice does an elemental of fire project Blaze: I don't think they speak primordial like we do Ben, can fire elementals speak common? Igfig: He blinks at being addressed by a fire elemental Igfig: Normally they'd only speak ignan the_boat: oh Varis_Amastacia: yeah but whats the voice sound like Igfig: but Boat is a special elemental I'd imagine Varis_Amastacia: does it sound like alduin or something Blaze: Probably the crack of flames and the hiss of burning stuff. Varis_Amastacia: sure Igfig: and I think their voices sound like crackling flames, yeah Varis_Amastacia: blaze you need a new name i cannot tell you the amount of times i have gotten you confused for our fire elemental the_boat: hahaha Varis_Amastacia: make your name frost Blaze: Well Blaze is the nickname thing. the_boat: i like it Blaze: Can we name ben Frosty? Varis_Amastacia: we absolutely can Varis_Amastacia: ben your characters name is frosty now Igfig: "Ha ha, you're a real funny guy... fire... thing. Seriously, we're coming up." Blaze: "I don't think so, we haven't gotten word of payment yet, till that happens, you don't come aboard." Igfig: "Got word just now, see?" He holds up a copper disk, one side of which is marked with a slowly expanding black spot Varis_Amastacia: ben in case you forgot or were not there Varis_Amastacia: i always use my message spell to contact the ship Varis_Amastacia: and you know that Varis_Amastacia: or well frosty knows that Igfig: "This means it's time to come get the stuff. So hand it over." Varis_Amastacia: and blaze Varis_Amastacia: and basically everyone but those gusy Varis_Amastacia: use it to lure them into a trap maybe Blaze: Yeah I know, that was what I was thinking in regards to payment is you have the message spell. Igfig: That copper disk is their own messaging system Igfig: and yup Varis_Amastacia: ya'll would have heard from the MESSAGE SPELL frosty_the_boatman: "doesnt look like money" Varis_Amastacia: i say dont trust these obviously upstanding gentlemen Blaze: I suppose I need to check if insight is a thing still. Varis_Amastacia: it is Blaze: Yup, I'm not trained in the skill but I am trained in wisdom. Igfig: you can't be trained in wisdom Igfig: you do have a good wisdom score though Blaze: Proficient with it I mean. I think that is for wisdom based defenses, yar. Blaze: But that has no bearing on this. Igfig: oh, right. Yeah, that means you get prof on Wis saves Igfig: anyhoo Blaze: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+3: [19] = 22 Blaze: Yeah, I can read these city drones like a book. Igfig: well, they clearly don't know any of the details of whether there's been payment or not, but they don't really care. They got the go-ahead, so they intend to take what they came for. Igfig: and yes, there absolutely would have been a Message if payment had gone through. Blaze: Right, and I haven't gotten the go ahead yet, and Varis would have messaged us. Igfig: right Blaze: "That's your message system, I haven't gotten my message yet, so you'll sit tight right there." frosty_the_boatman continues to make popcorn Igfig: "Might as well get started though, eh mate?" He starts up the gangplank, and waves the others with him. Varis_Amastacia: wait Varis_Amastacia: is the boat within 300 feet Varis_Amastacia: cause the thunderwave can be heard that far Igfig: uh... probably not? 300 feet is a hundred metres... I was thinking it'd take a couple minutes at least to get there Varis_Amastacia: aah Blaze: If it is far enough to take a skycab it is probably too far, yar. Varis_Amastacia: yeah okay then Igfig: the duration of a short chase scene, maybe Igfig: ;) frosty_the_boatman: so can i lift the boat a bit? Varis_Amastacia: how long does it take for a message to arrive Blaze: For now I have no reason to attack them yet, so I'll stick with dissuasion. Igfig: Message is instantaneous frosty_the_boatman: just a little Varis_Amastacia: in that case~ Varis_Amastacia: I message ben during my stint of deception and go like Blaze: I cast Spike Growth on the gangplank to dissuade them from coming up. Varis_Amastacia: "yo shits got real make sure no one comes to steal the loot" frosty_the_boatman moves the boat a bit Varis_Amastacia: blaze too Varis_Amastacia: do a barrel roll and swip them off Igfig: Oh, you mean how long to cast? It takes an action Varis_Amastacia: hm Igfig: and you have to actually whisper it Varis_Amastacia: alright then nevermind Varis_Amastacia: ill let it play out Varis_Amastacia: this is amusing Blaze: So you'll have to do that on your turn then. Varis_Amastacia: yeah Blaze: Either way, I cast Spike Growth on the gangplank. Igfig: yeah, but his turn will be the thunderwave frosty_the_boatman: just gonna shift up quick like 3 feet Varis_Amastacia: yar Igfig: ahaha Blaze: "I said you will wait there till I have gotten my messsage." Varis_Amastacia: just a quick jump Varis_Amastacia: messsssssssssssssssssssssssssage Varis_Amastacia: blaze is sizzling Blaze: Oh, or what is Ben doing? Varis_Amastacia: ben like Igfig: and Frosty, you're not in the ring, right? Blaze: If what Ben is doing is funner I won't do the Spike Growth. Varis_Amastacia: jumped frosty_the_boatman: moving the boat away Varis_Amastacia: ben sort of jumped Blaze: Oh right, he was hanging out with me. Varis_Amastacia: as a boat Varis_Amastacia: 3 feet ish Blaze: He'd have to get back into the boat I think. Igfig: Yeah, it'd take an action to go from elemental form to boat form Blaze: Right, so I just Spike Growth the gangplank then and say what I did. Igfig: okay frosty_the_boatman does the action boat thing frosty_the_boatman: turn Blaze: Nothing too hostile or obvious, they can see it cause they were there when I cast it too, so it should get the message across well. Igfig: Oh, right. I was looking at the spell description, but missed the part where it said they didn't have to check Perception if they saw it being cast Igfig: The halfling frowns. Blaze: Yarp yarp. Igfig: "Oh, is that how you want to play it, then." Igfig: "..." frosty_the_boatman: "... yes?" Igfig: he is not very eager to go into the spiky area Igfig: uh, so the radius is 20 feet Varis_Amastacia: i imagine them doing a wavey arm dance on the other side of the spikes Blaze: Yup. Varis_Amastacia: since thats the only way onto the ship frosty_the_boatman: how long til i can jump now that i am a boat Igfig: about how long do you think the gangplank is Varis_Amastacia: like ~(^_^)~ Varis_Amastacia: id say tenish feet Igfig: yeah Blaze: I'm not sure, the gangplank would have to be long enough on one of these docks to allow for bigger ships then ours to dock. Igfig: right, but a 20 ft radius is 40 ft long in total Igfig: so the spikes either extend onto the ship or onto the dock frosty_the_boatman jumps as soon as it is my turn again Blaze: Oh right, oh wow that is bigger then my brain was thinking. Igfig: they might be completely surrounded by spikes Varis_Amastacia: can you cast it at a lower level or something Varis_Amastacia: and choose to reduce the size Blaze: Hmmm... Blaze: Actually nah, Blaze wouldn't care, he is stuck sitting here watching them, they can be stuck there surrounded by thorns. Varis_Amastacia: i feel like this is a thing we can houserule if anything Igfig: I'd say you could tweak spell parameters like that with an action point Igfig: heh, okay Varis_Amastacia: are you doing a wavey arm dacne Igfig: so they're just all standing there, trying not to move. Igfig: glancing back and forth at each other Blaze: I lean back against the rail. frosty_the_boatman: lets fly over them and taunt them Blaze: "Would have been much comfier if you just waited now, wouldn't it?" Varis_Amastacia: theyre getting payed either way Igfig: while the ship now bobs a few feet back from the end of the gangplank frosty_the_boatman: :) Blaze: We are good at this ship watching business. Igfig: they speak quietly to each other for a second frosty_the_boatman: ^5 Igfig: and then the first guy turns back and says Igfig: "Hey mate. Fuck you." Blaze: OH, I'd like to roll a perception check to see if I can hear their whispering. frosty_the_boatman: "right back at you mate!" Igfig: and they unstrap their crossbows. Igfig: roll initiaitive! frosty_the_boatman takes off Blaze: Actually, their intent seems pretty clear. Varis_Amastacia: they still stuck in the thorns Varis_Amastacia: okay Varis_Amastacia: err Igfig: everybody rolls initiative! Varis_Amastacia: im still doing my thunderwave first through right Igfig: oh, right Blaze: 1d20+0 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+0: [5] = 5 Igfig: one sec Varis_Amastacia: whyd you even add the +0 Blaze: Cause I put the + there before I saw the 0. frosty_the_boatman: 1d20-0 Fortuna: frosty_the_boatman, 1d20-0: [8] = 8 Blaze: Guess we got too comfy. frosty_the_boatman: haha Igfig: Thunderwave is a Con save, right frosty_the_boatman: too much to drink Varis_Amastacia: lemme check Igfig: so let's see Varis_Amastacia: yup Varis_Amastacia: and DC 17 Orrin_Torrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20: [3] = 3 Orrin_Torrin: Holy shit. frosty_the_boatman: hahaha Orrin_Torrin: Our initiatives are terrible. Varis_Amastacia: dammit stop taking the enemies potentially shity saving throws frosty_the_boatman: Orrin_Torrin had waaaay to much to drink Varis_Amastacia: watch them get 18s now Varis_Amastacia: i will personally beat you to death orrin if that happens Blaze: Hey Varis you still have to roll yours right? Igfig: 1d20+1 Halak con save; 1d20+1 Castar con save; 4#1d20+1 thug saves Fortuna: Igfig, Halak con save: [12] = 13; Castar con save: [9] = 10; thug saves: [3] = 4; thug saves: [2] = 3; thug saves: [17] = 18; thug saves: [17] = 18 Varis_Amastacia: huh Varis_Amastacia: only the last two saved it Igfig: what is your save DC? Blaze: Your initiative I mean. Varis_Amastacia: 17 Igfig: 17?! Varis_Amastacia: yeah Blaze: That seems a little off. Blaze: Mine is only 14. Igfig: 8 + 3 prof + 6 for your 22 int Fortuna: Igfig, prof + 6 for your 22 int: [] = 11 Igfig: whoops Varis_Amastacia: my prof ix 3 Orrin_Torrin: Yeah mine is 16 Peter. Varis_Amastacia: maybe blaze is just a lame o Igfig: I don't think you have int 22 Varis Varis_Amastacia: whats the calculation for it Varis_Amastacia: the save dc Igfig: it's 8 + prof + int bonus Orrin_Torrin: It should say it right on your sheet. Varis_Amastacia: 8+3+3 then Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, then: [] = 14 Orrin_Torrin: Either way, there's no way anybody but the 18s saved it. Varis_Amastacia: huh Varis_Amastacia: hows i get to 17 then Varis_Amastacia: one second let me look Igfig: you probably started at 10 instead of 8 Varis_Amastacia: definitely Varis_Amastacia: okay then Igfig: yeah, okay Varis_Amastacia: either way Igfig: so 15 Varis_Amastacia: the last two are the only ones who save Igfig: ayup Igfig: so roll your damage. What level were you casting at? Varis_Amastacia: and that is Varis_Amastacia: just level 1 Igfig: kay Igfig: so that's 2d8 damage Varis_Amastacia: 2d8 damage on hit and half that on miss Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, damage on hit and half that on miss: [8, 8] = 16 Varis_Amastacia: NICE Igfig: dizzamn Varis_Amastacia: the guys who got hit are also pushed 10 feet Varis_Amastacia: aka Varis_Amastacia: OFF THE BALCONY Igfig: where were you standing when this happened? Igfig: oh Igfig: yeah ok Igfig: I figured Varis_Amastacia: since we arent using a map can we get a list of the enemies we're facing Igfig: 1d20+6 Halak Dex save, 1d20+1 Castar dex save, 2#1d20+2 thug dex save Fortuna: Igfig, Halak Dex save, 1d20+1 Castar dex save, 2#1d20+2 thug dex save: [5] = 11 Igfig: whoops Igfig: 1d20+6 Halak Dex save; 1d20+1 Castar dex save; 2#1d20+2 thug dex save Fortuna: Igfig, Halak Dex save: [17] = 23; Castar dex save: [13] = 14; thug dex save: [2] = 4; thug dex save: [15] = 17 Varis_Amastacia: so one thug tumbles off painfully Blaze: That Halak guy has crazy dexterity. Blaze: Or wait, dex saves, he is getting a proficiency bonus with it. Igfig: he's proficient at Dex saves, his dex is just 16 Igfig: yeah Igfig: Okay, you've got Halak, Castar, and four thugs (two halflings and two humans), plus probably more guys to show up soon because this is a Boromar joint Blaze: Also music, lyrically speaking only partially fitting, for my fight, since these guys are generally speaking faceless goons on my end. Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRYRVRJ14350A6E2EF&jb=1&sq=0 Blaze: That and I'm planning to try and stick to revengeance stuff for music with Blaze. Varis_Amastacia: alright thats in the club Varis_Amastacia: dudes got wrecked by thunderwave on the balcony Varis_Amastacia: one fell off Igfig: Okay, now for the actual inits Varis_Amastacia: did you apply the damage igifg? Igfig: I did Varis_Amastacia: okay Varis_Amastacia: 1d20+1 intit Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, intit: [15] = 16 Varis_Amastacia: woo Varis_Amastacia: thanks for taking the shitty rolls guys Blaze: Our only good initiative roll, congrats. Igfig: One halfling got slammed through the railing and down onto the guests below Varis_Amastacia: GOOD Varis_Amastacia: if only we had fire ball Varis_Amastacia: drop it on all the guests Varis_Amastacia: watch them burn Blaze: I thought I was the pryo? Igfig: the gnome is hanging off the ledge by his fingers Varis_Amastacia: varis is pretty messed up sometimes Blaze: Aren't you the guy who left a military project to protect innocents from its creations? Varis_Amastacia: well yeah but i'll also do anything to survive Igfig: Halak did a backflip up onto a different table and drew a shortsword Varis_Amastacia: and if that means burning a hole in a crowd of people Varis_Amastacia: so be it Varis_Amastacia: orrin go step on that dude's fingers Igfig: the two human thugs stand firm Orrin_Torrin: Oh Ima smash 'em. Igfig: okay one sec Igfig: let me record all the inits in one spot Varis_Amastacia: well dont waste your action on it Varis_Amastacia: maybe just use a move action into the spot his fingers are Orrin_Torrin: Wouldn't I be holding him up with my body weight then, though? Igfig: 1d20+3 halak init; 1d20+1 castar init; 1d20+1 others init Fortuna: Igfig, halak init: [16] = 19; castar init: [17] = 18; others init: [9] = 10 Varis_Amastacia: yes but painfully Varis_Amastacia: also maybe he'll whip out his fingers Varis_Amastacia: aw dang Igfig: oh, and then for the other group Blaze: Man I hope the other group gets the worst rolls. Blaze: They won't now that I typed that, but still. Igfig: 1d20 minotaurs; 1d20+1 others Fortuna: Igfig, minotaurs: [5] = 5; others: [13] = 14 Blaze: Right, I'm tied with the minotaurs with the same initiative bonus. Igfig: roll off? Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [17] = 17 Blaze: 1d20 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20: [1] = 1 Orrin_Torrin: Damn. Blaze: Yeah, all theirs. Varis_Amastacia: i cant believe this Blaze: I'm really being quite polite. Blaze: There are certainly worse times to roll a 1. Igfig: Okay then Blaze: Plus, this railing I'm leaning on is really quite comfortable. Blaze: Some high quality softer wood was used to line this thing. Igfig: So just a word about this club we're at... can anyone think of a good name? Varis_Amastacia: Club Marco Varis_Amastacia: it was rated 5/10 Blaze: It is run by the Boromar was it? I think I got that wrong. Igfig: it is, yes Varis_Amastacia: no one appreciates my subtle anime jokes here Igfig: because they're awful Varis_Amastacia: :'( Blaze: Maybe waffle can get behind Club Eridian. Igfig: you'd call an illithid bar Club Mami Varis_Amastacia: lets name it club Igfig Varis_Amastacia: in honor of some guy i knew once Orrin_Torrin: Puzzles. Igfig: poor igfig, he got cut in half Orrin_Torrin: Actually, it should probably Fartfignuggen's, Igfig: ...okay let's go with club marco Blaze: Heehee. Varis_Amastacia: YAY Igfig: So this place, Club Marco, has the location aspects Highly Ornamented and Boromar Joint Igfig: also, Broken Balcony Railing Varis_Amastacia: er Varis_Amastacia: okay Igfig: as of just now Varis_Amastacia: is the club making rolls Igfig: no, these are location aspects Varis_Amastacia: whats that mean Igfig: you can use them like your own aspects Blaze: It means you can take advantage using those aspects as well by interacting with it, and so can the enemy. Igfig: for Fate-style stuff Varis_Amastacia: alright Igfig: yeah Varis_Amastacia: err Varis_Amastacia: give an example? Blaze: I have a feeling that Boromar Joint one is going to be shown off pretty quick by half-grin. Blaze: I am terrible with names. Orrin_Torrin: Like, that guy is almost certainly going to Boromar Joint us to death. Orrin_Torrin: Halak. Blaze: Thanks. Varis_Amastacia: more like half act Varis_Amastacia: oooohhhh Blaze: Halak, half-grin, if you take the first half of each I'm close. Igfig: Halak spends a fate point, runs up a wall, using the Highly Ornamented mouldings as footholds, and flips over Varis' head to get behind him Igfig: and jams both his blade and crossbow in your back Igfig: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+6: [13] = 19; 1d20+6: [6] = 12 Varis_Amastacia: he used the fate point for the second attack right Varis_Amastacia: the first one hits Igfig: oh wait Igfig: sorry, I should have specified Igfig: the fat point was to get advantage on the rolls Igfig: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+6: [6] = 12; 1d20+6: [17] = 23 Orrin_Torrin: I'd think the Fate point just applies to climbing the thing. Varis_Amastacia: hehe fat point Varis_Amastacia: howd he do the second attack then? Igfig: he has a weapon in each hand, he's attacking with both Igfig: and both hit it looks like Varis_Amastacia: oh okay im hung up on 4e where only abilities that specified would work Varis_Amastacia: no you have my old sheet Varis_Amastacia: before we added my new robe Varis_Amastacia: my ac is THIRTEEN NOW Varis_Amastacia: going hard or going home here Igfig: and he got a 19 and a 23 Varis_Amastacia: he got a 12 Igfig: 2#1d6+3+2d6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6+3+2d6: [3, 2, 5] = 13; 1d6+3+2d6: [6, 6, 5] = 20 Varis_Amastacia: like thats pretty clearly a 12 there Igfig: he had advantage! Varis_Amastacia: oh right thats how that works Varis_Amastacia: in 5e Igfig: yeah Varis_Amastacia: okay yeah both hit Varis_Amastacia: welp Igfig: and you take 33 damage Varis_Amastacia: im unconcious Igfig: oh shit Orrin_Torrin: I still don't think it's fair that he gets "climb a wall super fast," "do a rad flip" and "make two attacks" all for one roll. Orrin_Torrin: Like... Heavily Ornamented does not make it any easier for him to stab. Blaze: The flip stuff was fluff for getting advantage on his attacks. Blaze: I think. Varis_Amastacia: yeah it was Igfig: okay, I can have him making an acrobatics check if you like Igfig: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+6: [8] = 14 Igfig: which is still enough Varis_Amastacia: he basically used the flip to get behind me Varis_Amastacia: which is what gets the advantage Orrin_Torrin: That's fine. Varis_Amastacia: using the fate point Varis_Amastacia: yar Orrin_Torrin: It just seemed like an awfully complex maneuver to pull off in one roll. Orrin_Torrin: But maybe that's just 5e. Igfig: yeah, I was just describing the use of the fate point all stylish Varis_Amastacia: ok Varis_Amastacia: i actually have 1 hit left Blaze: Yar, it's a combination of 5e and more so the aspect system thing. Igfig: and trying to give an example of how you'd use a location aspect Varis_Amastacia: well it worked Blaze: A very effective demonstation. Igfig: anyway, Castar tried to clamber back up onto the balcony Igfig: 1d20-1 Str Fortuna: Igfig, Str: [4] = 3 Igfig: and he falls off Igfig: 2d6 damage Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [2, 1] = 3 Orrin_Torrin: Castar is such a chump. Varis_Amastacia: hah what a nerd Varis_Amastacia: man at least i got high init so i wont be dead before my turn Igfig: he is just really unlucky Igfig: and yeah, also a nerd I guess Varis_Amastacia: OOOOHH DM BURN Igfig: okay, so Varis go ahead Varis_Amastacia: whose turn is it igfig you are the only one with the init list Varis_Amastacia: h Varis_Amastacia: great Varis_Amastacia: okay so i dont want to waste probably my only turn here Varis_Amastacia: so igfig whats this dude's con Orrin_Torrin: I can heal you. Varis_Amastacia: who just stabbed me in the back Orrin_Torrin: I'll lay my hands all over that body. Varis_Amastacia: oh bby ye Igfig: hmm, make an Int check as a free action Igfig: to scope out his bod Varis_Amastacia: ? Varis_Amastacia: oh man Varis_Amastacia: scoping out bods is wht i do best Igfig: to estimate his Con Varis_Amastacia: do i add proficiency Igfig: nah, this is just Int Varis_Amastacia: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+3: [19] = 22 Igfig: his Con is 12, his Str is 11, his Dex is 16 Varis_Amastacia: alright so only a +1 mod to his save Igfig: yep Varis_Amastacia: WHICH MEANS Varis_Amastacia: I wriggle my fingers all willy nilly Varis_Amastacia: it's very distracting Varis_Amastacia: but also deadly Varis_Amastacia: because necromantic energy seeps out of my fingers and a blight is cast on him Varis_Amastacia: roll a con save Igfig: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [8] = 9 Igfig: oh dear Varis_Amastacia: yesssss Varis_Amastacia: 8d8 necromantic damage Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, necromantic damage: [8, 3, 5, 3, 4, 2, 7, 3] = 35 Varis_Amastacia: eeehhhhhh Varis_Amastacia: still good Varis_Amastacia: annnnddd Varis_Amastacia: is that table lying around anywhere Varis_Amastacia: or did it go flying off the balcony Igfig: uh, wait just one second Igfig: need to chekc a thing Varis_Amastacia: okay Igfig: hmm Igfig: I was checking if casting a spell still provokes OAs Igfig: and I can't actually find where it says Varis_Amastacia: that isnt something i thought of Varis_Amastacia: its ingle target Varis_Amastacia: 10 feet range Varis_Amastacia: so i dont think it would Varis_Amastacia: burst and area spells do i think Orrin_Torrin: The description just says "if you move away." Orrin_Torrin: They may have removed that rule, because it was kind of bullshit anyway. Igfig: yeah, I don't think spells do provoke Igfig: and yeah, I like that Varis_Amastacia: yay Varis_Amastacia: okay Varis_Amastacia: anyways Varis_Amastacia: wheres that table lying around Blaze: It had knocked over the gnome, the gnome went over the edge from the thunderblast. Varis_Amastacia: hmm Varis_Amastacia: then its probably down in the crow Varis_Amastacia: d Igfig: also... well, damn Varis_Amastacia: two ways to hold water! Igfig: Halak goes down Varis_Amastacia: good screw that dude Varis_Amastacia: he stabs me in the back i blight him in... his Igfig: If that was an attack, he could have totally used Evasion to halve the damage Igfig: but it was a spell Blaze: Face, half of his face. Igfig: ouch Varis_Amastacia: right Varis_Amastacia: can i forego a move action to kick him in the stomach Igfig: heh, sure Varis_Amastacia: for 1 damage Blaze: If you blight him in half the face and he somehow comes back later then he gets to be a half-faced half-grinning halfling. Varis_Amastacia: okay no i need to move out of the open Igfig: although you might want to get away from the... yeah Igfig: the thugs Varis_Amastacia: I dive out of the line of fire from all those crossbowmen to behind an extremely ornate decorated chair Varis_Amastacia: very supple Varis_Amastacia: I crouch behind it Igfig: aright Varis_Amastacia: and end turn Igfig: There aren't actually any crossbowmen just yet, but you're sure they're coming soon Varis_Amastacia: oh i guess crossbow guy fell off the balcony huh Varis_Amastacia: oh well Varis_Amastacia: i get to lean against this sweet chair Igfig: well, actually now that I think about it, the halfling thug who's still around has a crossbow Igfig: so yeah, he'd be shooting at you Blaze: I've got lots of crossbow guys over by me. Blaze: You can borrow some if you like. Blaze: Don't need to return them either. Igfig: 1d20+4-5 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4-5: [10] = 9 Varis_Amastacia: no thank you you are in a better position to deal with them then a mage with 1 hit and Varis_Amastacia: whatever orrin is Varis_Amastacia: some kind of drunken fighter Igfig: a bolt punches through the back of the chair, but stops just short of you Orrin_Torrin: Oh Orrin is totally sober. Varis_Amastacia: thank you supple chair Varis_Amastacia: :o Igfig: the two humans draw, uh, lessee, something that deals 1d10 Orrin_Torrin: Just pretending to be drunk to HOPEFULLY keep everyone lighthearted. Orrin_Torrin: Maces deal 1d10. Varis_Amastacia: well that didnt work out Orrin_Torrin: So just like... club. Orrin_Torrin: s Igfig: maces deal 1d6 Orrin_Torrin: Oh. Orrin_Torrin: Hammers then. Orrin_Torrin: Yeah that's what I was thinking of. Igfig: ah, yeah. Hammers. Igfig: They pick up their hammers and come at Orrin from each side Varis_Amastacia: stop Varis_Amastacia: hammer time Orrin_Torrin: "Shoulda picked on the Wizard, lads." Igfig: they get advantage against anyone adjacent to their allies, so they both have adv here Varis_Amastacia: im hidden behind this sick chair Igfig: 2#1d20+4; 2#1d20+4 Igfig: ? Igfig: huh, I guess Fortuna didn't like that Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [3] = 7; 1d20+4: [5] = 9 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [4] = 8; 1d20+4: [2] = 6 Orrin_Torrin: Ha. Varis_Amastacia: ahahaha Blaze: The fabric for the cushions on it is so soft you'd have to stop yourself from rubbing your face on it. Orrin_Torrin: HAAA. Varis_Amastacia: orrin just ducks under them Varis_Amastacia: blaze i cant even do that Orrin_Torrin: Their shitty little hammers plink pathetically off my armor. Orrin_Torrin: I don't even dodge. Varis_Amastacia: im rubbing my grimy face all over it Blaze: Hey, what are Orrin's aspects again? Blaze: Could one of them be used to try and make them hit eachother? Igfig: they don't even hit your body, they just swing wildly and miss Varis_Amastacia: yes lets try that Orrin_Torrin: Doesn't Believe in Free, A Story I can Sell, This Just Got Personal. Orrin_Torrin: So not really. Igfig: hmmm Orrin_Torrin: i guess I could do the story one. Blaze: yeah no not really. Varis_Amastacia: A STORY YOU CAN SELL DUH Orrin_Torrin: That's a great story actually. Varis_Amastacia: you wanted the story to be so awesome Orrin_Torrin: IG. Igfig: that would be a great story, yeah Orrin_Torrin: IG LET THIS HAPPEN. Varis_Amastacia: you reached out and pulled them in Igfig: go for it Varis_Amastacia: so they hit each other Igfig: sure thing Orrin_Torrin: So... strength roll with advantage? Igfig: I could see a bunch of ways to do it potentially Blaze: Yar, could do it like the way I just heated that metal car, and it just happens, or I dunno. Orrin_Torrin: I'd think it'd either be strength or slight of hand. Igfig: maybe I'll just have them reroll their attacks against each other, striaght up Varis_Amastacia: that works Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [10] = 14; 1d20+4: [7] = 11 Igfig: one of them hits Varis_Amastacia: yayyy Igfig: 1d10+2 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d10+2: [9] = 11 Orrin_Torrin: So... did I use a Fate Point? Igfig: yeah Blaze: Yup. Orrin_Torrin: Okie doke. Igfig: and since it's you doign it, you should narrate Igfig: that was enough damage to take hm down Varis_Amastacia: tell it like varris from dragon age 2 exaggerating a story Orrin_Torrin: Orrin sees the two men approaching and charges directly at them. Orrin_Torrin: With a laugh, he ducks into a roll at the last moment. frosty_the_boatman: it was a dark and stormy night Blaze: Or something like that guy from Kung Fu Hustle, he did some awesome make people hit eachother stuff. Orrin_Torrin: As he rolls to a stop, he sees one of the guards hit the other clean in the mouth with a tiny, unmanful hammer. Orrin_Torrin: And on his final revolution, he stands at the private bar and orders another ail from the petrified barkeep. Igfig: haha Orrin_Torrin: ale* Blaze: Wonderful. Varis_Amastacia: can we just assume orrin has a bard following him around everywhere recording his feats Blaze: Orrin is charismatic enough to be his own bard. Varis_Amastacia: that is true Orrin_Torrin: Yeah I just tell my own stories in exchange for drinks. Igfig: All right, back to the other battle now Orrin_Torrin: And then cheat at cards. Blaze: And now I get bolted at. Orrin_Torrin: Oh damn, I forgot to heal Varis. Orrin_Torrin: Oh well. Varis_Amastacia: welp Blaze: You haven't had your turn yet. Varis_Amastacia: protect me chair ku Blaze: That was their turn. Varis_Amastacia: kun Varis_Amastacia: oh yeah Blaze: Your turn is after me and the minotaurs over here. Orrin_Torrin: Oh yeaaah. Orrin_Torrin: "Be there in a sec Varis. You want an ale?" Varis_Amastacia: "no I'd prefer something that stitches my muscles and sinew back together" Igfig: The various thugs—there are let's say five of them—let loose a volley at... I guess Blaze, since it's hard to target Frosty Orrin_Torrin: "So, whiskey?" Varis_Amastacia: "yes" Igfig: 3#1d20+4 hand crossbows Fortuna: Igfig, hand crossbows: [15] = 19; hand crossbows: [12] = 16; hand crossbows: [6] = 10 Igfig: 2#1d20 heav crossbows Fortuna: Igfig, heav crossbows: [10] = 10; heav crossbows: [17] = 17 Blaze: Right, right. Varis_Amastacia: are they in range for a hand crossbow? Igfig: oops, those were also +4 Varis_Amastacia: thats 40 feet Blaze: Riiiiiiiight. Igfig: oh, I guess it's long range Igfig: so the hand crossbows have disad Varis_Amastacia: keepin my eye on the streets for u blaze Igfig: 3#1d20+4 hand crossbows Fortuna: Igfig, hand crossbows: [7] = 11; hand crossbows: [6] = 10; hand crossbows: [8] = 12 frosty_the_boatman: oh hey were back to us now Blaze: Oh that's handy then. Igfig: so that's 11, 10, 10 for the hand crossbows, and 10, 17 for the heavies Blaze: What are the conditions here at the dock? Igfig: just one hit on Blaze I guess, so Blaze: Any location aspects? Igfig: 1d10 damage Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [6] = 6 Igfig: oh, hmm Blaze: Also nah, those are all hits at the moment actually, but I'm planning to make it so that only one hits me. Igfig: A Very Long Drop, I guess Igfig: ah, okay Blaze: I was hoping to invoke Guided by the Winds to give them a -2 to their attacks against me. Igfig: Yeah, that's very reasonable Varis_Amastacia: if its a long drop theres gunna be wind anyways since presumably we are high up Igfig: a sudden strong breeze makes all but one of the bolts high Igfig: yeah, for sure Blaze: So, Blaze's eyes opened up a bit more when he saw the crossbow bolts, and he quickly spoke in druidic to the wind for a bit of help cause oh man all of those guys would have hit him if it didn't. Igfig: Yup Blaze: And yar, breeze goes strong for a moment and probably saves my bacon. Igfig: Okay, Frosty's up! Blaze: Considering I wasn't leaning from behind the railing either, I was just in the middle of the entry bit out in the open. frosty_the_boatman: woooo frosty_the_boatman: alright so i thought about carrying us away to safety right frosty_the_boatman: but then Igfig: Right Blaze: But then ben was like, wouldn't it be awesome to run people over with a boat? frosty_the_boatman: i thought "theyre all trapped tightly by a bunch of spike things Blaze: That's my guess. frosty_the_boatman: 19:47 frosty_the_boatman pssst i need to go to the toilet, if my turn comes before i get back, my move will just be drive my boat self through the group like gulls on the beach Blaze: They're trapped so much in that if they move they get hurt. frosty_the_boatman that Varis_Amastacia: arent they still on the docks Blaze: They are on the dock/gangplank. Varis_Amastacia: thatd be two actions still ben Varis_Amastacia: one to go boat form Varis_Amastacia: one to flip Varis_Amastacia: actually that might be a move Igfig: he got into boat form earlier Varis_Amastacia: oh ok frosty_the_boatman: ^ Blaze: Nah he had hopped into the boat earlier and shifted a little from the dock after I did the spike stuff. Igfig: just remember, the airships look like this Igfig: http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20081030135829/eberron/images/2/2b/101320.jpg Igfig: so you're just coming at them with a line of fire frosty_the_boatman: so, yeah frosty_the_boatman: wooo Igfig: I guess that that means Dex saves for them all frosty_the_boatman: just plow through and never look back Igfig: 5#1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [16] = 17; 1d20+1: [4] = 5; 1d20+1: [16] = 17; 1d20+1: [8] = 9; 1d20+1: [18] = 19 Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [12] = 12 Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [3] = 3 Igfig: okay, so Igfig: hmm, what would the save actually be here I wonder Igfig: DC 13 probably Orrin_Torrin: Maybe higher on account of the thorns. Orrin_Torrin: Do they count as difficult terrain? Blaze: They do they do. Orrin_Torrin: I have to imagine that makes action-rolling a little more difficult. Blaze: Maybe disadvantage. Igfig: so three of the guys hit the deck, but they take 2d4 from the spikes Igfig: 2d4 Fortuna: Igfig, 2d4: [4, 2] = 6 Blaze: That works too. frosty_the_boatman: "IMMA ROCKET SHIP ON MY WAY TO MARS ON A COLLISION COURSE IM OUTA CONTROL" Orrin_Torrin: You missed "I am a satellite." Igfig: The other two guys and one of the minotaurs get burned... I think that's 3d6 damage, Frosty? frosty_the_boatman: yep! Orrin_Torrin: I'm a sex machine, ready to reloooad, LIKE AN ATOM BOMB. Igfig: go ahead and roll that Igfig: and they have to make some saving throws or catch fire Orrin_Torrin: I'm gonna WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA EXPLOOOODE. frosty_the_boatman: 3d6 Fortuna: frosty_the_boatman, 3d6: [1, 5, 1] = 7 Igfig: 2#1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [10] = 11; 1d20+1: [8] = 9 Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [12] = 12 Igfig: they are all on fire Orrin_Torrin: Full disclosure: I sing Don't Stop Me Now 100% of the times I go to a karaoke bar. frosty_the_boatman: BURNING THROUGH THE SKY Igfig: The last minotaur got hit by the bottom strut Blaze: Why would you sing any other song at a karaoke bar? Well, sides Bohemoion Rhapsody, but still, more Queen. Igfig: he's going to take both the fire damage and spike damage Igfig: buuuut Orrin_Torrin: I also always sing Hey Ya. Igfig: he grabs hold of the strut Blaze: Oh snap. Orrin_Torrin: The strut that is ON FIRE. Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [5] = 5 Igfig: he is on fire though frosty_the_boatman: so i drag him throght the spikes then? Orrin_Torrin: Oh well, no MORE harm done then. Blaze: Still, if our ship looks mostly similar to that he's going to have a rough time getting on board proper yet. Igfig: he grabs the strut and is pulled off the dock Igfig: but holds on tight frosty_the_boatman: WHEEEEE Orrin_Torrin: Oh yeah there's not really a lot he can do with that. Igfig: and starts climbing up the strut Orrin_Torrin: Ben. Orrin_Torrin: I'm going to say this in all sincerity. Orrin_Torrin: DO A BARREL ROLL. Blaze: He's rather bull-headed and will try all the same though. Orrin_Torrin: Ha. Orrin_Torrin: HAAAAAAAA. Blaze: Wait, I'm on the boat. Blaze: A barrel roll would be not so great for me. Igfig: And I think the other one, since it's his turn around this time too, will swing an axe at the hull of the ship as it goes past Blaze: Unless I transform into something flying. Orrin_Torrin: You can hold on. Orrin_Torrin: you have hands. Igfig: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+6: [1] = 7; 1d20+6: [20] = 26 Blaze: My strength and dex are not bad for me at best. Orrin_Torrin: Uh. Orrin_Torrin: What just happened. Igfig: he was rollign with disadvantage Orrin_Torrin: I more meant that he rolled a crit and crit fail on the same attack. Blaze: He has disadvantage and just got both of the extremes, what a terrible time for disadvantage. Orrin_Torrin: What are the odds? Igfig: oh wow Igfig: okay Igfig: he swings his axe Igfig: and it gets stuck in the hull Igfig: so the hull takes some damage Igfig: 2d12+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 2d12+4: [10, 12] = 26 Igfig: but he is disarmed Orrin_Torrin: I think it's better if he's dragged out into the open sky and then falls. Blaze: That's a big axe. Orrin_Torrin: Like an asshole. Orrin_Torrin: Teach him to attack our boat. Igfig: he, uh, decides not to try and hold on to that Igfig: and yes, it is a Large greataxe Orrin_Torrin: What a terrible time for a minotaur to exercise restraint. Blaze: I do not want to be hit by one of those axes. Blaze: I'm so glad I'm on a flying boat. Igfig: anyway, it is now Blaze's turn Orrin_Torrin: There is a minotaur climbing the boat, though. Blaze: Shhhhhhh, let me live in the moment. Igfig: that is correct Orrin_Torrin: I imagine you can knock him off pretty easily though. Blaze: The moment being, I feel like those crossbow guys need more of a reason to not stand still in that field of spikes I made for them. Igfig: well, the thing is he's under the boat, so if you're on deck you can't really see him Igfig: without opening the cargo hatch on the bottom Orrin_Torrin: Yeah but can't you just like... ready an action for him to come over the rail? Igfig: I assume there's a cargo hatch on the botto Igfig: uh yeah, that'd be possible too Blaze: Yar, as is though, I'm just going to use Wall of Flame to turn up the heat for the guys on the dock/gangplank. Igfig: aight Igfig: Dex saves then? Igfig: 5#1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [10] = 11; 1d20+1: [14] = 15; 1d20+1: [4] = 5; 1d20+1: [12] = 13; 1d20+1: [19] = 20 Blaze: Yeah, I'll be doing the 30 foot long and straight version, it's technically only a foot long so only people in it when it pops up have to do that. Igfig: oh Blaze: not a foot long, a foot wide. Igfig: so how many of them do you think are in it then? They were in a rough cluster before Blaze: And it only does heat damage on one side, I suppose I could do something with more fate points. Blaze: How wide is the dock/gangplank? I'm guessing the dock is wider then the gangplank. Blaze: Or how is their grouping, might go with the circle shape if they're close enough to eachother. Igfig: probably 10 feet wide? They are definitely close enough together that you can catch them all in the circle Blaze: Yar, the wall of flame circle can only do half the size of the spike field, but it's still half the diameter of the spike field, alright, we'll go with the circle then. Igfig: welp Igfig: so I guess no damage until their turns, right? Orrin_Torrin: And they're gonna have a hard time chasing. Igfig: yeah Igfig: hmm Blaze: I guess not, unless some of them are hanging out near the edge, but yeah, looks like no damage till the end of their turn, when they are within 10 feet of the inside of the wall, aka the damage does extend to outside of the circle, oh sweet. Blaze: Or wait no, I read that wrong. Blaze: No damage outside of it. Igfig: they will take all the damage on their turns for being inside the circle, or trying to leave it Blaze: They still have to pass through the flame to get out of it though and I'm not sure how that works. Blaze: Wait, wait. Igfig: I think... I think I have to start making sure I give you guys multiple encounters per day, so you can't just unload all your spells on everyone all the time Blaze: So the wording is: Blaze: When the wall appears, each creature within its area frosty_the_boatman: some of them also have ongoing being on fire damage too Blaze: So would that be within it or just where the flame is? Igfig: Just where the flame itself is Blaze: Alright, so yeah, no damage until the end of their turn. Igfig: yep Blaze: Also while you probably do, and while I am using my only 4th level spell for the encounter, the other one was only a level 2 spell, and I've only cast 2 spells so far, yar, then again I've only had the chance for 2 spells. Igfig: okay, so back to Orrin now Igfig: yeah Igfig: also I probably need to use fewer, tougher enemies Igfig: since you casters destroy mooks Blaze: Also the wall will be 8 feet high. Igfig: anyway, it's Orrin's turn Orrin_Torrin: Orrin takes a refreshing sip of ale and growls at the bartender to hurry up. Orrin_Torrin: He then casually strolls over to Varis with a tumbler of the finest Valenar whiskey the Boromars can afford. Orrin_Torrin: "Here you go mate." Orrin_Torrin: Then casts lay on hands. Igfig: Orrin, you can see a bunch of other guys down in the main area drawing weapons Blaze: Also I dunno, Varis's blight spell is pretty singular, my stuff is very group control oriented though, so yeah. Igfig: true Orrin_Torrin: Jerks. Orrin_Torrin: Anyway, I can restore up to 25 HP a day with lay on hands. Orrin_Torrin: So uh... do you just want all of it or what? Igfig: and you can hear a number on the stairs Igfig: *number of feet frosty_the_boatman: "4" Orrin_Torrin: VARIS I'M TRYNA HEAL YOU. Igfig: oh god it's seven guys Blaze: (I'd also point out that I'm still not wearing armor actually) Igfig: guys, I heard that seven ate nine Igfig: also that un de trois cats sank Igfig: nothing about six though Igfig: wonder why that is Orrin_Torrin: Six is a sneaky bastard. Orrin_Torrin: WAFFLe. frosty_the_boatman: Varis_Amastacia Blaze: Also sorry to interrupt but I use my move action to take cover behind the railing of the ship cause I don't need to be caught out in the open again. Igfig: righto Blaze: Yar. Orrin_Torrin: Well, I don't know what to do now. Igfig: okay, well let's just assume we figure out how much Varis heals when he shows Igfig: Is lay on hands an action, or free? Orrin_Torrin: Action. Varis_Amastacia: im alive Igfig: right, of course Orrin_Torrin: I'd like to get at those pricks on the stairs, but Waffle has 1 HP so. Varis_Amastacia: right Orrin_Torrin: Waffle I can heal up to 25 per day, you want it all? Igfig: wait, you can only heal 25? Not 35? Orrin_Torrin: Are we level 6 now? Varis_Amastacia: will chair protect me from more than that Orrin_Torrin: Oh we're 7! Varis_Amastacia: the answer is no Orrin_Torrin: I was thinking we were 5 for some reason. Igfig: Yeah, we are level 7 Orrin_Torrin: Do you just want me to top you off Waffle? Varis_Amastacia: yeah Orrin_Torrin: Or get you to like... 20, or something. Orrin_Torrin: 33 it is. Varis_Amastacia: i can do some good aoe for those enemy dudes Orrin_Torrin: that was how much he did, right? Igfig: in retrospect I probably should have had us be level 5, level 7 is pushing legendary in Eberron Igfig: uh, I'm not sure Igfig: but it was quite a lot Orrin_Torrin: I assume Waffle knows. Varis_Amastacia: it was 35 damage i did Varis_Amastacia: with blight Orrin_Torrin: How much damage did he do to you. Orrin_Torrin: Is what I'm asking. Orrin_Torrin: I'm trying to heal you. Varis_Amastacia: oh 33 Orrin_Torrin: 33 it is! Blaze: Yar, but if we were level 5 then I wouldn't have any of my battle forms I think. Igfig: oh right, that's why we chose 7 Igfig: anyway Orrin_Torrin: So I dump 33 of my lay on hands points into Waffle. Igfig: right Orrin_Torrin: "There's a good lad, now drink up. Company's coming." Blaze: Well, actually I would have the wolf and panther form, but no tiger or bear. Varis_Amastacia: I take a big swig of whiskey Varis_Amastacia: and slam down the bottle Orrin_Torrin: I draw Ol' Shifty in the form of a maul. and set myself between Varis and the stairs. Igfig: you know there're still two thugs up here with you, actually? Igfig: also, company arrives in the form of a lightning bolt Orrin_Torrin: Well yeah, but again: he was going to die. Orrin_Torrin: My (lay on) hands were tied. Varis_Amastacia: sigh Igfig: Orrin, make a reflex save Orrin_Torrin: Oh NOW you don't like puns. Orrin_Torrin: Is that... dex? Igfig: er, dec Igfig: dex Igfig: yes Orrin_Torrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20: [8] = 8 Orrin_Torrin: Man down. Igfig: 6d6 electricity damage Fortuna: Igfig, electricity damage: [2, 3, 2, 4, 5, 6] = 22 Igfig: from a lightning bolt to the chest Igfig: WHO'S A CHUMP NOW, CHUMP Orrin_Torrin: "Still you, buddy. Still you." Igfig: (this lightning bolt is from Castar) Varis_Amastacia: we'll see Varis_Amastacia: when i see what spells i have available to toss out there Orrin_Torrin: Also, where is he? Orrin_Torrin: Did he do that from below the balcony where he presumably can't even see us? Igfig: oh right, he fell down Igfig: uhh Blaze: He's feeling pretty chumpy all of a sudden. Orrin_Torrin: NOW WHO'S A CHUMP AGAIN. Igfig: I guess it's a lightning bolt to the ass then Orrin_Torrin: I'm way on the balcony now, though. Orrin_Torrin: Like... how did he see me? Igfig: he is going to just fire it right through the floor of the balcony Orrin_Torrin: Impressive. Igfig: he heard you? You're in full armour Orrin_Torrin: What is this guy, a bat? Igfig: yeah I dunno I'm reaching a bit Orrin_Torrin: Just have him be at the top of the stairs. Orrin_Torrin: It's only fair I get to whack him now. Blaze: He crowd surfed on top of the other guys. Igfig: sure, he scuttled very quickly to the stairs. Not the top of the stairs, because that's silly Blaze: He really wanted to show off how he wasn't a chump. Igfig: yeah Orrin_Torrin: I feel like that is very much the same problem, though. I'd rather he be very fast than just get to bore his attacks through stone blind because you forgot where he was! Igfig: I mean, he went to the bottom of the stairs where he had line of sight to you but wasn't going to put himself in range of your hammer Orrin_Torrin: These stairs SUCK. But okay. Varis_Amastacia: i have line of sight for my spells Varis_Amastacia: i will show him whose a chump Igfig: yeah, there are some other guys coming up the stairs too Orrin_Torrin: HE'S A CHUMPIN' FOR A CLUMPIN'. Igfig: and it is your turn Varis Varis_Amastacia: excellent Varis_Amastacia: I guess..... Varis_Amastacia: I launch a spray of colours over there Varis_Amastacia: its like Varis_Amastacia: totally vibrant brah Varis_Amastacia: how many guys are on the stairs? Orrin_Torrin: "Sick tag, Varis." Igfig: do you realize there are still two guys up here with you? Varis_Amastacia: oh Varis_Amastacia: no I did not Varis_Amastacia: okay I'll deal with them Igfig: I mean, one is sort of retreating because he only has a few hp Blaze: Maybe send a message for a pick up perhaps. Igfig: and the other is off balance because he just gave his friend some discount dentistry Varis_Amastacia: WE'LL SEE ABOUT THAT Varis_Amastacia: Iiiii Varis_Amastacia: you know ill actually just cast magic missile Varis_Amastacia: one one the retreating dude to kll him Igfig: there are maybe seven, eight guys on the stairs coming up Igfig: okay Varis_Amastacia: good god Orrin_Torrin: I'd say get the stairs guys. Varis_Amastacia: I say we need to hop out of here Orrin_Torrin: They'll all presumably get to go before me anyway. Varis_Amastacia: there's no reason to kill them all frosty_the_boatman: good luck! Orrin_Torrin: I guess we could just jump down and run. Igfig: color spray is only a 15-foot cone Varis_Amastacia: we can jump off the balconey and make a run for the boat Varis_Amastacia: yeah Varis_Amastacia: anyways Orrin_Torrin: But you're gonna leave me up here with 10 guys who all get to go before me. Varis_Amastacia: one missile hit running dude Orrin_Torrin: If you do. Varis_Amastacia: and I'll launch the other 2 at the other dude up here Varis_Amastacia: 1d4+1 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d4+1: [3] = 4 Varis_Amastacia: woo Igfig: he goes down in a heap Varis_Amastacia: 8 damage on other dude who is up here Varis_Amastacia: and I turn and make a dramatical leap off of the balconey Varis_Amastacia: robes fluttering in the wind Varis_Amastacia: ladies and gentlemen staring up in awe at my dong flapping in the wind Igfig: okay... do you want to try and aim for something that will break your fall? Igfig: There's a chandelier in the middle of the room, for instance Varis_Amastacia: I will aim for the guy that fell down there at the start of the fight Igfig: and some floor-to-ceiling curtains on the walls Varis_Amastacia: i will land on squish Orrin_Torrin: Do a sweet chandelier flip. Igfig: you could also do that I guess Varis_Amastacia: hmmmm Orrin_Torrin: It's a better story. Varis_Amastacia: I will do a sick chandelier floop Blaze: Oooh, you could swing on the chandelier to get an angle on your jump and then land on him. Varis_Amastacia: and land on squish Igfig: sure Igfig: it'll be a Dex/Acrobatics check Varis_Amastacia: using my OBSESSIVE RESEARCHER aspect I take a moment to perfectly analyze the sway of the chandalier and the angle I would need to jump off of to succeed Igfig: okay, although it sounds like the aspect might want to be renamed later if you're using it like that Igfig: but sure, go for it! Varis_Amastacia: yeah probably Varis_Amastacia: 2#1d20+1 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+1: [9] = 10; 1d20+1: [9] = 10 Varis_Amastacia: are u fuckin Igfig: huh Blaze: Maybe you should have waited to spend it afterwards, and then went with the +2 after your roll? Blaze: The way the fate core book describes using it is to do an action and leave an ellipses at the end in case you need to do a little extra... Blaze: like finishing a sentence. Varis_Amastacia: hmmm Igfig: well, I think you have a choice here Igfig: either you get onto the chandelier but don't swing just right and stay on the chandelier Igfig: or you just fall down onto the guy, taking a bit of damage but not as much as you might have Varis_Amastacia: I'll just plummet onto the dude Orrin_Torrin: Oh God mine is going to be so cool. Varis_Amastacia: don't want to spend another turn up there Igfig: aw, okay Orrin_Torrin: do we have 3 Fate Points a day or just 1? Varis_Amastacia: where the crossbows will have aim at me Varis_Amastacia: 3 Igfig: 1d6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6: [3] = 3 Orrin_Torrin: SHIT YEs. Igfig: three damage Varis_Amastacia: okay Varis_Amastacia: I land on his ribs Varis_Amastacia: shattering a few Igfig: yeah, you hear some definite crunch Varis_Amastacia: and kick his face as i fumble to stand up Igfig: it's a bit chaos down here Varis_Amastacia: and end turn Igfig: the guy landed in some lady's soup Orrin_Torrin: Oh man. Igfig: people are pushing and shoving to get out Orrin_Torrin: I'm totally gonna tip her a coin and apologize on the way by. Igfig: she goes from looking shocked to looking offended and shocked Varis_Amastacia: if i landed in the soup too Varis_Amastacia: i take a sip and tell her its good Orrin_Torrin: NO THE SOUP IS FINE. Igfig: anyway, the other guys' turns Igfig: A few of the dudes from the stairs turn back and come after Varis Igfig: 3#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [19] = 23; 1d20+4: [6] = 10; 1d20+4: [9] = 13 Orrin_Torrin: I don't suppose, seeing as I intentionally put myself here to cover Varis' escape, that I could invoke my Aura of Protection before seven dudes attack me? Igfig: sure Orrin Orrin_Torrin: Coolio. Igfig: 1d6+1+1d6; 1d10+2 Igfig: argh, Fortuna Varis_Amastacia: is thaat on me or orrin Igfig: on you Varis_Amastacia: NOTE fix that shit Fortuna: Noted. Igfig: 2d6+1; 1d10+2 Varis_Amastacia: okay Igfig: whaat Igfig: 2d6+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 2d6+1: [5, 5] = 11 Orrin_Torrin: I miss Dogtuna. At least when she crashed she would like... death scream. Igfig: 1d10+2 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d10+2: [6] = 8 Varis_Amastacia: arughrughagl Igfig: Fortuna isn't crashing, and she death screams too Igfig: observe Igfig: 1d0 Fortuna: hlggghhbhk Varis_Amastacia: wow Varis_Amastacia: that was twisted Blaze: Ta das. Varis_Amastacia: you just like Varis_Amastacia: stabbed her and twisted the knife for show Igfig: I'm sorry Fortuna Igfig: you know i love you Igfig: uh Orrin_Torrin: So yeah what were all those rolls for? Varis_Amastacia: atacking me Igfig: hmm, normally she would respond to that with something flirtatious or giggly Varis_Amastacia: good thing oyu healed Blaze: Those last couple were damage aimed at Varis, yar. Igfig: yeah, those were damage rolls Varis_Amastacia: im down to 12 Orrin_Torrin: How? Orrin_Torrin: I gave you 33 HP. Varis_Amastacia: yeah Orrin_Torrin: And they did 19 damage. Varis_Amastacia: and they did 19 Varis_Amastacia: 33-19 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 33-19: [] = 14 Varis_Amastacia: welp Orrin_Torrin: So you're down to 14. Orrin_Torrin: Hahahahahaha. Igfig: One guy gets you in the leg, the other smashes you through the table Blaze: 15 cause he had 1 health. Blaze: oh wait Blaze: 3 health from the fall. Blaze: 12 Varis_Amastacia: shh Varis_Amastacia: oh yeah Orrin_Torrin: Oh there you go. Orrin_Torrin: That was an incredible mess. Orrin_Torrin: Well, just keep running, I'm gonna do something rad. Blaze: Ta da, Waffle is capable of math. Igfig: Meanwhile, the other four all romp up the stairs toward Orrin Igfig: swinging swords and hammers Igfig: 4#1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [11] = 12; 1d20+1: [20] = 21; 1d20+1: [8] = 9; 1d20+1: [1] = 2 Igfig: three misses and a crit Orrin_Torrin: Well one guy hits. Varis_Amastacia: one guy crit misses Orrin_Torrin: Also, I have resistance to bludgeoning, piercing and slashing on account of the aura. Varis_Amastacia: lets have him shoot the guy who critted Igfig: oh nice Varis_Amastacia: so that becomes a not crit Orrin_Torrin: And yeah one guy just runs facefirst into me and knocks himself out. Orrin_Torrin: Or that. Igfig: 1d6+13 damage Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [3] = 16 Igfig: so just 8 damage Orrin_Torrin: I've been attacked by 4 dudes with worse results. Blaze: You'd probably have to use a fate point for the people knocking themselves out stuff. Orrin_Torrin: Yeah. Orrin_Torrin: I guess he can just... fall over? Blaze: Igfig shall know. Igfig: and the one crit miss guy just runs right past you, colliding with the last thug who was still up there, knocking them both off the balcony Orrin_Torrin: This story is going to buy me so much beer. Orrin_Torrin: For the sake of continuity, can I go before we go back to the boat? Igfig: Sure Orrin_Torrin: Since I'm just running anyway. Orrin_Torrin: Righto. Orrin_Torrin: So I'm gonna use another Fate Point. Igfig: okay Blaze: No problem for me. Orrin_Torrin: And salute the gentlemen on the balcony as I turn Ol' Shifty into a whip and attempt to Indiana Jones off the chandelier down to the floor. Igfig: hahaha Igfig: sure, right on Orrin_Torrin: So is that... an attack roll against a chandelier? Blaze: Don't forget the coin noise, I think we decided that that thing had the coin noise too now. Orrin_Torrin: I have no idea how to roll that. Orrin_Torrin: Maybe Sleight of hand? Igfig: Oh, hmm Igfig: Well, normally it'd be just a Dex/Acrobatics check, but yeah in this case with the whip... how about just a +2 to the check, on top of advantage? Orrin_Torrin: I have proficiency with all weapons, can I wheedle a +3 out of you?> Igfig: heh, sure Orrin_Torrin: 2#1d20+3 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20+3: [5] = 8; 1d20+3: [4] = 7 Igfig: :( Orrin_Torrin: Shit. Varis_Amastacia: weedling did not help Blaze: Maaaaaaybe fate point that roll. Orrin_Torrin: Like... again? Orrin_Torrin: I reaaaally wnat this to work. Orrin_Torrin: want* Blaze: Well, did you use a fate point to do this in the first place? Varis_Amastacia: tumble into the soup with me Orrin_Torrin: Yeah, that was why I rolled twice. Varis_Amastacia: thats still a god story Blaze: Oh, oh ah. Orrin_Torrin: Shoulda done two separate rolls, the compound option never works for me. Orrin_Torrin: Ah well. Orrin_Torrin: I leap out from the balcony and attempt to whip the shit out of the chandelier. Varis_Amastacia: two brossplashing in soup with a corpse Igfig: that already was a fate point, so in theory no... but how about this Orrin_Torrin: Can I action point and whip again? Igfig: roll again to catch yourself, but the DC will be harder Varis_Amastacia: i thought we werent playing with those Orrin_Torrin: Do I have advantage still? Orrin_Torrin: Oh yeah we replaced them. Igfig: just roll once Orrin_Torrin: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20+3: [4] = 7 Orrin_Torrin: Hahahaha. Varis_Amastacia: into the soup Orrin_Torrin: Orrin falls directly onto soup-lady's table. Igfig: so how much damage do you think a large armoured man deals Blaze: Welp, that didn't work out as planned.. Varis_Amastacia: oh god Varis_Amastacia: hes crashing into me Igfig: when he lands on something Varis_Amastacia: id say 1d8 Varis_Amastacia: like a heavy weapon Blaze: He says something. Igfig: probably 2d6 actually Blaze: Those great axes did 2d6 I think. Igfig: well Varis, make a Dex save Varis_Amastacia: if only i didny stop to taste the soup Varis_Amastacia: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+1: [7] = 8 Igfig: also the guys around Varis Varis_Amastacia: these rolls Igfig: 2#1d20+1 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+1: [12] = 13; 1d20+1: [4] = 5 Igfig: so the human and Varis are both landed upon Orrin_Torrin: As Orrin helicotpers his whip around like a madman, crashing down into the melee, he gracefully tips soup-lady a coin and says "Sorry about my friends. You know how these things go." Igfig: the halfling ducks Varis_Amastacia: i thought Varis_Amastacia: you meant that a bunch of halflings were ducks Varis_Amastacia: like "this is what those ducks are about to do" Varis_Amastacia: and somehow i missed the fact that there were ducks in the fight Igfig: no, they're like the halfling equivalent of ducks Igfig: so very small ducks Orrin_Torrin: So I deal 2d6 to Varis and 2d6 to that guy. Blaze: You know, there has been a lack of ducks in most roleplaying games I've been involved in. Orrin_Torrin: Do you roll that or do I? Igfig: You can Orrin_Torrin: 2d6 Varis Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, Varis: [5, 6] = 11 Orrin_Torrin: 2d6 That Guy Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, That Guy: [3, 6] = 9 Varis_Amastacia: oouucchhh Orrin_Torrin: I am very heavy. Blaze: I think it'd be the same for both probably. Igfig: yeah, 11 for both Varis_Amastacia: AND BACK TO ONENHIT Orrin_Torrin: Well I have to land more on one of them. Blaze: On the bright side, Varis has 1 hp left. Orrin_Torrin: Okie doke. Igfig: wow Igfig: okay, back to the ship Orrin_Torrin: We shoulda just killed everybody. Blaze: We're having a much lovelier time I feel, sides the incoming crossbow bolts. Orrin_Torrin: Oh wait! Orrin_Torrin: Varis actualy has resistance. Orrin_Torrin: From my aura. Varis_Amastacia: well Blaze: Oh hey. Varis_Amastacia: i suppose Varis_Amastacia: since you came craashing into me the aura came with it Varis_Amastacia: how much resist? Igfig: oh yeah, Orrin woulda taken 2d6 falling damage, but I guess it's just 1d6 with the aura Igfig: 1d6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6: [2] = 2 Orrin_Torrin: It's just half-damage in 5e. Varis_Amastacia: alright cool Varis_Amastacia: so i only took 6 damage Blaze: So congrats, you have 7 hp. Igfig: sure Varis_Amastacia: yayy Igfig: and now the guys on the dock Igfig: uhm Igfig: they all look terrified Blaze: Are surrounded by fire and thorns, it's really quite unpleasant. Blaze: I wouldn't blame them. Blaze: They came to pick up cargo, now they're in the middle of a spiky inferno. Igfig: one of them summons up his courage, wraps his coat around himself, and tries to jump through the flames to safety Igfig: would you like to roll damage for him> Blaze: See, I'm not sure if they take damage for going through it though. Igfig: they do Blaze: Ah, alrighty. frosty_the_boatman: Failed Save: The target catches fire and takes 3 (1d6) fire damage at the start of each of its turns. A creature can use its action to extinguish the flames, which ends this effect. frosty_the_boatman: still that from my ship thing Igfig: ph right Igfig: 1d6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d6: [6] = 6 Igfig: all the burning guys are burning Blaze: I forget if I add my wisdom modifier to the damage or not, I think not since it doesn't mention it. Igfig: you do not Blaze: 5d8 fire damage. Fortuna: Blaze, fire damage.: [1, 2, 1, 3, 2] = 9 Blaze: Hmmm... Varis_Amastacia: haahh Igfig: Oh geez, he makes it! Orrin_Torrin: He also takes thorn damage though. Blaze: Plus the damage from moving through spikes, 2d4 for every 5 feet. Igfig: Well, he jumped Varis_Amastacia: and thats 20 feet Varis_Amastacia: oh Orrin_Torrin: Then he LANDED on spikes. Orrin_Torrin: He jumped 20 feet? Igfig: let me see how far he got Igfig: it looks like you can jump about your strength score with a running long jump Blaze: How far do you have to move to get the running part? Orrin_Torrin: Yeah there's no way he doesn't take at least SOME damage from the thorns. Igfig: ...10 feet Igfig: I guess that's... 4d4 damage? Blaze: Yup. Igfig: 4d4 Fortuna: Igfig, 4d4: [1, 2, 2, 2] = 7 Igfig: never mind then Igfig: he takes a bit of damage from the spikes, and then he jumps through the fire and is fried Igfig: he lands smoking frosty_the_boatman: hahah Blaze: So yeah, I basically turned that dock into a deathtrap. Blaze: Hold on a second though: Varis_Amastacia: what about when we show up Blaze: "Do you guys give up?!?" Igfig: not quite dead, but probably going to die Blaze: I yell over the side. Orrin_Torrin: I assume you're going to send them a message when you leave the club to come get us. Varis_Amastacia: im going to like Varis_Amastacia: next turn Igfig: They look at the smoking body and the flames creeping nearer Varis_Amastacia: it cant be too long what should i say Varis_Amastacia: i should just send "OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" Igfig: and all start shouting at once Igfig: you think they are probably saying something like that, yes Orrin_Torrin: "Club suckz, come get us." Igfig: "oh god we give up don't kill us" Varis_Amastacia: no i mean thats what ill send in my message Igfig: also oh shit oh shit oh shit Blaze: Alright, if you'll allow me I shall turn off the flame wall, that one is a concentration spell, the spikes are stuck for the whole 10 minute duration though. Igfig: Where is the ship relative to the dock now? Have you descended so that you're level with them? Or are you looking down from above? frosty_the_boatman: does the one on the hull say the same? frosty_the_boatman: above Igfig: okay Igfig: The minotaur on the hull does not, you can't even see him Igfig: well, I gues you can se him Frosty Igfig: he is still climbing the strut Orrin_Torrin: You are aware of him much in the way that horses are aware of flies. frosty_the_boatman: cool cool frosty_the_boatman: so am gonna descend onto the spike dock with my turn then Orrin_Torrin: Start growling in Infernal or whatever you speak. Orrin_Torrin: Creep his shit out. Orrin_Torrin: That won't work Ben, you'll hit the bottom strut. frosty_the_boatman: i can roll Igfig: well you could sort of land half on the dock, with the struts hanging off the side frosty_the_boatman: just enough to stick him Igfig: you would not be able to squish him, no Orrin_Torrin: You're gonna have the same problem sideways. frosty_the_boatman: alright then, sudden bucking movements, sorry blaze Blaze: Well, either way the wall of fire is not going anymore. frosty_the_boatman: as long as he falls into the spikes its cool Igfig: He'll make a Strength save I guess Igfig: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [10] = 14 Igfig: I think he manages to hold on Igfig: unless you want to invoke an aspect or something to get advantage frosty_the_boatman: "GET OFF" Orrin_Torrin: Ben do you have any aspects what would work? frosty_the_boatman: whats an aspect Orrin_Torrin: "Doesn't like Minotaurs climbing on my body" or something? Orrin_Torrin: I'm gonna say that's a no. frosty_the_boatman: doesnt like anything on my boddy Igfig: In Frosty's case, the collected lyrics of Don't Stop Me now Igfig: is there anything in the lyrics that could pertain to this situation? Orrin_Torrin: "Traveling at the speed of light" and "200 degrees" would both work. Orrin_Torrin: BEN MAKE A SUPERSONIC MAN OUT OF HIM. Igfig: "I'm gonna go go go" frosty_the_boatman: "DONT STOP ME NOW" Orrin_Torrin: I mean he is trying to hold onto something that is also accelerating rapidly. Orrin_Torrin: So. Orrin_Torrin: That could give him disadvantage. Orrin_Torrin: He's not just fighting the bucking. Igfig: oh yeah, "don't stop me now" itself could work Igfig: yeah okay frosty_the_boatman: best aspects Orrin_Torrin: Ben has himself a real good time. Igfig: So Ben, mark off one of your fate points Igfig: and I'll reroll that Orrin_Torrin: He feels aliii-hiii-hiii-hiiiiive. frosty_the_boatman: just wait for atom bomb Igfig: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [10] = 14 Igfig: argh Orrin_Torrin: Ha. Igfig: I, uh Igfig: I guess he's still there Orrin_Torrin: I'm waiting for "sex machine." Igfig: and he's made it to the top of the strut Igfig: and is just going to go crazy on the hull now Igfig: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+6: [8] = 14; 1d20+6: [14] = 20 frosty_the_boatman: he left his axe though Igfig: this is the other one Igfig: 2d12+14 damage Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [7, 11] = 32 Igfig: and I think he's put a hole in your hull Orrin_Torrin: How is he holding on while attacking with a two-handed axe? Igfig: oh, uh Igfig: tha'ts a good point Igfig: I guess I'll have him make a balance check to hold on with just his legs Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [8] = 8 Orrin_Torrin: Womp womp. Orrin_Torrin: Hooves are pretty bad for grasping, as it transpires. Igfig: I guess so Igfig: That roll wasn't quite bad enough to fall all the way off I think Igfig: but he is now hanging upside down Igfig: by just his leg Igfig: s Blaze: It's quite entertaining to look at. Igfig: bellowing and mooing Blaze: Well, it would be for us, I don't know if his buddies would find it as entertaining. Orrin_Torrin: I like to imagine the townspeople are thoroughly confused. Igfig: the other minotaur moos back in a concerned manner Varis_Amastacia: *concerned mooing* Blaze: So yeah, they have surrendered to us now though pretty much. Igfig: And now it's Blaze's turn Igfig: yeah Igfig: I guess this battle is basically done Blaze: I turned off the wall of fire, I don't think I can do anything about the spiky growth though. Igfig: yeah Igfig: anything else you want to do this turn? Orrin_Torrin: You can wave jauntily. frosty_the_boatman: hit the guy hit my hull off Blaze: "Maybe next time someone tells you not to go on their boat you'll listen, right boys?" frosty_the_boatman: slap him Orrin_Torrin: I don't know how he could possibly target that minotaur. Blaze: I'm thinking we should just let him drop off on top of the dock since they've given up. Orrin_Torrin: Unless he like... TURNS INTO A BIRD AND DIVE-BOMBS HIM. Orrin_Torrin: CA-CAW. Blaze: All my birds are terrible attackers. frosty_the_boatman: poop in his eyes Orrin_Torrin: I guess just ask him if he wants down now. Blaze: Yeah, I know he's there since he and the other guy are mooing at eachother. Blaze: So I'll yell to Frosty in primordial "Let the cow down over the dock, his friends gave up before they were even medium rare." Igfig: All right, you can do that Igfig: Back to the other place then? Igfig: the other fight I mean Varis_Amastacia: id think so Blaze: I suppose so. Varis_Amastacia: which is essentially just Varis_Amastacia: i send a message saying "PREPARE TO LIFT OFF EVERYTHING WENT TO SHIT" Varis_Amastacia: and then i sprint the fuck out of there Varis_Amastacia: and i dont even tip soup lady Igfig: gasp Orrin_Torrin: I tipped her. Orrin_Torrin: It's cool. Varis_Amastacia: and thats my entire turn Blaze: Also another point I'd like to make is the spells I used are practically designed for that kind of thing, cause that wall of flame and those spikes are just loaded with friendly fire potential as well. frosty_the_boatman: best team Orrin_Torrin: You couldn't like, toss a spell back at the MANY GUYS I have to escpae? Varis_Amastacia: i had to send my message Igfig: Castar runs at Orrin, and lets loose with a thunderwave of his own Orrin_Torrin: Oh yeah. Orrin_Torrin: Nevermind. Igfig: Con check Orrin Igfig: er, con save Orrin_Torrin: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Orrin_Torrin, 1d20+2: [12] = 14 frosty_the_boatman: we got our guys taken care of in 1 turn, yall are slackers Orrin_Torrin: What's his DC? Igfig: 13 Orrin_Torrin: HA. Orrin_Torrin: Chump. Igfig: although it might be in your favour to allow yourself to be pushed Orrin_Torrin: I can't decide if I want to do that or hit him before I leave. Orrin_Torrin: Now that he's right in my grill. Orrin_Torrin: And I have a thunder spell of my own. Varis_Amastacia: do it Varis_Amastacia: fuck that dude Orrin_Torrin: That I can use to demonstrate his chumpitude. Igfig: partly because it'll get you further from all that Igfig: but partly because there is a plate glass window behind you Orrin_Torrin: How many other guys are there? Igfig: I think I said eight? Igfig: er, seven Orrin_Torrin: There were seven, but waffle killed one, I crushed one, and two tumbled off the balcony. Igfig: oh right Orrin_Torrin: So only three? Igfig: waffle got one of the ones that were already there and were not counted in the seven Orrin_Torrin: Oh. Igfig: so there are four right now coming at you Orrin_Torrin: I GUESS I can just get pushed. Orrin_Torrin: With a jaunty wave, I sail out the window. Igfig: oh, and I forgot to roll damage from the thunderwave Igfig: 2d8 Fortuna: Igfig, 2d8: [6, 4] = 10 Igfig: halved for save Igfig: whooosh Orrin_Torrin: I hold my shield up to prevent damage from the glass. Igfig: god thinking Igfig: it's safety glass so you'd probably be okay anyway, but yeah Orrin_Torrin: "Sorry we couldn't come to a deal boys!" Igfig: they're not stopping, they're all coming for the door Varis_Amastacia: that is exactly what i wanted Orrin_Torrin: It's about the moment, though. Orrin_Torrin: I am jauntily sailing backward through a window into the night. Orrin_Torrin: I have to say SOMETHING snappy. Igfig: you guys do see a skycab that will be passing just below you in a few moments, though Varis_Amastacia: we're jumping for it Igfig: indeed Varis_Amastacia: first Orrin_Torrin: I get my turn first, right? Igfig: yes Orrin_Torrin: Alright, just to be a dick I'm gonna Abjure chumpface over there. Orrin_Torrin: He's within 60 feet, surely. Igfig: he is Orrin_Torrin: Alright, I brandish my holy symbol, forcing him to make a Wisdom saving throw with a DC of 16. Orrin_Torrin: I chant in a really deep, spooky voice as I do so. Igfig: 1d20+3 Wis save Fortuna: Igfig, Wis save: [1] = 4 Igfig: D: Orrin_Torrin: He pees his pants. Orrin_Torrin: He is utterly terrified. Orrin_Torrin: And cannot move. Orrin_Torrin: Like the chump he is. Igfig: what spell is that? Orrin_Torrin: Abjure Enemy. Orrin_Torrin: It's my Channel Divinity. Igfig: ah, cool Orrin_Torrin: And now, having made Chumperino piss his pants like a frightened schoolgirl, I jump onto the passing skycab with a final laugh. Varis_Amastacia: waiiiittt Varis_Amastacia: dont do that yet Igfig: Yeah, you think you may have unlocked some deep-seated trauma or phobia in him, because he just collapses Varis_Amastacia: delay that action for a second Varis_Amastacia: i can get us advantage on it Orrin_Torrin: Are we rolling to see if we make it on the cab Ig? Varis_Amastacia: its gunna be a bit of a jump Igfig: we're out of initiative now so go ahead and do the thing Varis_Amastacia: alright Varis_Amastacia: so I cast slow on the taxi as its going below us Igfig: and I think yeah, there'll be a check but not a had one Igfig: ah, nice Varis_Amastacia: to slow it down in time so we can jump onto it easier Varis_Amastacia: and noooowwww we can jump orrin Orrin_Torrin: Nice. Varis_Amastacia: we lock hands Varis_Amastacia: fingers intertwined Varis_Amastacia: and jump Orrin_Torrin: Varis-kun... Varis_Amastacia: gayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Varis_Amastacia: 2#1d20+1 Fortuna: Varis_Amastacia, 1d20+1: [12] = 13; 1d20+1: [2] = 3 Igfig: actually, slowing it like that, I don't think you even need a check Varis_Amastacia: oh well okay then Igfig: but either way you're fine Orrin_Torrin: I can get behind that. Orrin_Torrin: Is it an open top? Varis_Amastacia: you can also get behind me orrin senpai Varis_Amastacia: as a top Orrin_Torrin: I'm going to assume it's an open to. Igfig: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/Aegeri/sharn-1.jpg Igfig: that is what skycabs look like Orrin_Torrin: SWEET. Varis_Amastacia: ok so we just plop onto it Varis_Amastacia: "TAKE US TO THE DOCKS GOOD SIR" Varis_Amastacia: "OR MAAM" Orrin_Torrin: So we fall smoothly into the backseat, and I casually say "The giant, flaming boat in the sky please." Blaze: You'd probably say whatever our dock number is, yar. Orrin_Torrin: I assume we can see you now that we're outside. Igfig: :Awright, guv." says the elderly orc in the front seat Blaze: Also Varis sent me a message now right? Varis_Amastacia: yes Varis_Amastacia: and ben Igfig: Yeah, I'd imagine so Orrin_Torrin: And you're careening over the docks. Blaze: Right. Varis_Amastacia: i suppose we successfuly got away then huh? Blaze: "Sorry boys, looks like this whole mess has been for naught." And I wave them goodbye as I think we could meet them partway? Varis_Amastacia: mind if we end here I'm getting pretty dang tired and i dont think we need to do much more Varis_Amastacia: we get back to the boat and take off and we can discuss what to do with the dragonstones Igfig: Instead of the expected return message from Blaze, though Varis_Amastacia: oh noooo Blaze: I didn't know I could do return messages. Varis_Amastacia: yeah message is only one way ig Igfig: I think there's a return message, not 100% sure though Orrin_Torrin: Please tell me he just hears frantic mooing. Igfig: oh Igfig: in any case Varis_Amastacia: i do hear frantic mooing Varis_Amastacia: but its not from the message spell Varis_Amastacia: its from orrin making fun of some centaurs at the red light beside us Orrin_Torrin: Hey now. I am many things, most of them bad, but I'm no racist. Orrin_Torrin: It's tasteful neighing. Igfig: you suddenly get a vision of a sleek but weathered warforged with mithral plating Igfig: a Sending spell! Varis_Amastacia: :ooo Varis_Amastacia: dammit Varis_Amastacia: : OOOOO Igfig: "Sources say you have unusual dragonshards. Those of the Becoming God are interested. Please find us at [an address in Aruldusk, a city in Thrane]." Varis_Amastacia: "well dicks, thats a long ways away" Varis_Amastacia: "Also we need to get better at being covert since everyone seems to know we have these" frosty_the_boatman: i can travel at the speed of light Varis_Amastacia: at the speed of fast Orrin_Torrin: "I once knew a lady in Thrane. Well, "lady" is maybe the wrong word. The things she did with a couple beers in her..." frosty_the_boatman: make you supersonic frosty_the_boatman: ;) Igfig: But yeah, you manage to escape the Boromars without a lenghty chase scene Varis_Amastacia: yipee Igfig: and rendezvous back at the ship again Varis_Amastacia: fruit stands everywhere were grateful for the safety Orrin_Torrin: We did crash through ONE fruit stand, but it was mostly the centaurs' fault Igfig: And yes, let us leave off there for the night! Orrin_Torrin: I like this campaign. Varis_Amastacia: yipee Igfig: Good first session, everyone! Blaze: I was going to say but the cabbage stands were not so lucky. Varis_Amastacia: only because you got to moo at people Blaze: Hurrah. frosty_the_boatman: wheee Orrin_Torrin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMFtV-OFMsU frosty_the_boatman: having such a good time frosty_the_boatman: dont want to stop at all frosty_the_boatman was kicked by Igfig. Orrin_Torrin quit. Blaze quit. Igfig: Everyone has to stop sometime.
