Igfig joined #pwot_dnd2. Igfig: frosty alright so the smart thing to do would be to use the speed of castle float noted from the magic ball last night and my speed to determine the earliest (plus 15 minutes) that we can meet. then i fly out to a mile from that location, park the boat. the fifteen minutes should Igfig: 20:58 frosty give me long enough time to find a good landing spot and to hoof it to the determined spot (running a mile would take me just over 5 minutes). then i watch the castle float by and check for possible approach points, probably from the bottom, ships don’t usually have glass Igfig: frosty floors. if this is confirmed, i run back to the frosty, loop around to where we'll meet in the night, and wait. as it passes i start my ascent, diagonally to always be in the blind spot beneath. then i attach the frosty to the hull, and go from there frosty joined #pwot_dnd2. Igfig: frosty aber, my tactical prowess pretty much pretty much peaks with 'wait till he's asleep and throw a sheet on', sooo… wooo whatever frosty: aight frosty: should i put the rest here too? Igfig: it's ok I think frosty: aight Igfig: I put the rest in before you connected Igfig: also, it's still going to take a while for you to get there Igfig: not sure how long exactly, I'll have to look at the vectors and do the math myself Igfig: at least a few days though? frosty_the_boatman joined #pwot_dnd2. frosty: i have no idea Igfig: so we might not get to that part until after the other two have done their thing frosty: 1d20+5 con check go faster Fortuna: frosty, con check go faster: [7] = 12 Igfig: a little bit faster frosty: alright i dont go faster frosty: heh Igfig: unless you use an FP for a reroll frosty: hmm ok Igfig: choose an aspect and narrate frosty: 1d20+5 TRAVELLING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT Fortuna: frosty, TRAVELLING AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT: [10] = 15 frosty: a bit more Igfig: yeah, that's enough for a noticeable speed boost Igfig: can you narrate the experience? Igfig: what's you're thinking and feeling when you do this frosty: ok! frosty: "stupid shits, was || this close to joining them too, 'lord of blades' went off and left his dogs to kill me didnt even finish me off himself the goddam coward gonna be lord of blaze when i'm through with him, fucking shitlord of blades. then he goes off after we've gone and left him alone, dont want no trouble, he comes onto my turf to kidnap my friends" frosty: "gonna do some terrible half-baked magic to them if they are hurt at all gonna burn his entire boat down i dont care anymore fucking bullshit god can't even be a diety on his own gotta take other people who have done nothing to him, put them at risk at nothing to himself" frosty: "no stopping me now, no, the frostys left everyone behind, gonna blaze of glory this thing, if i dont come back aint nobody coming off this ship alive" frosty: at some time i take a break to 'think things out' which will mean coming up with a dumb plan and looking for the sock one last time Igfig: sure, let's get another investigation check frosty: 1d20+3 search one last time Fortuna: frosty, search one last time: [20] = 23 frosty: BOOM Igfig: with advantage because you're... oh never mind frosty: SUCK IT VARUS frosty: "see how tough they all are when they see me with this thing" Igfig: you find the false bottom of the drawer, and you also notice the alchemist's fire flask frosty: what is alchemist fire Igfig: it's sorta like alchemical napalm, thought it doesn't burn quite as hot or as long as that Igfig: but it's sticky and burny Igfig: 1d4 fire damage/turn, Dex DC 10 to put it out Fortuna: Igfig, fire damage/turn, Dex DC 10 to put it out: [1] = 1 frosty: so dex check? frosty: 1d20+5 Fortuna: frosty, 1d20+5: [9] = 14 Igfig: well no, you manage to open it up without setting it off frosty: o okay Igfig: so you have the sock frosty: aight frosty: im not gonna eat it til i am on the ship in case i blow up frosty: alright, since i have intimate flyboat knowledge, imma gonna go ahead and assume the 'blind spot dead on bottom' bit, without bothering to check it first frosty: also 1d20+5 fast after restart flying frosty: 1d20+5 go fast Fortuna: frosty, go fast: [2] = 7 Igfig: you can keep your old roll if you like Igfig: the 15 frosty: oh frosty: alright frosty: wasnt sure cause i stopped to search frosty quit. frosty joined #pwot_dnd2. frosty: (are they all dead yet from trying to kidnap kidpope?) Igfig: nope Igfig: they're delaying, listening to her speech frosty: laaaame frosty: so ill just make more frosty thoughts for days frosty: "finally found some people that i like and like me back, they dont just try to use me or like me just for my ship, and what happens? they get stolen by the wannabe god who denied me wanting to help him just a week before. this 'normal world' is the worst" frosty: "everyone looks at you like youre a menace to reality, only sees you as a tool. 'oh, that elemental can be used to power my airship, ill just take away all his freedom, stuff him into this 5 inch dragonshard for all eternity, because we can" frosty: "oh here are some shards that can power our new made-up cult-god, lets just take them without asking, because we can" frosty: "ohhh, lets make frosty a superbeing, but first lets make and kill or endanger a bunch of tiny elementals, why does it matter they'll be gone in an hour anyway" frosty: "what do i do for them, carry them around and save their asses when they get in over their heads. 'help me not fall off this roof' shoulda just let him drop, the bigotted git. what do they do for me? fuck all" frosty: "and then i try and follow a new leader and they are just as bad, 'do this, do that, be where we want when we want and only there then' " frosty: (this is fun) frosty: (good rage venting) frosty: (but of course, being fire, the more the rage the hotter it burns) frosty message spells everyone "fuck off" frosty: did varus teach us that? he mentioned it Igfig: He was planning to, but you never took the feat that would have let you learn it frosty: ah frosty: anyway Igfig: yeah Igfig: I like this though, great character building Igfig: So. What are you going to do with the fireball core? Igfig: oh sorry, I saw above Igfig: right, not eating it yet frosty: "alright frosty, gotta one man army this thing, cant count on your 'friends' to help, the dynamic doesnt work that way. they didnt want to come with you when it happened, had to go see the flamekeeper to 'save the world' or whatever, save their world, where they rule over us. probably all dead by now without me helping them" frosty: "come on wait, dont go down that rabbit hole, think this out, Thakashtai is counting on me, dont fall apart. gotta save first, okay what do i do to save someone off a moving airship then get back?" Igfig: All right, I think your path crosses Chydris' at about 4 AM that night frosty: ig how does air friction and momenttum work in this world Igfig: it's easy to find because they're coming straight toward you frosty: wait no frosty: frosty couldnt calc that Igfig: and they have lights on, the only lights as far as the eye can see frosty: okay so im just gonna do part two of my first plan then frosty: duck below with lights off then raise up frosty: with no idea if its guarded or not frosty: because who gaurds the bottom of a boat Igfig: wait, I lied when I said they were the only thing with lights Igfig: there is something else Igfig: you Igfig: you are pretty bright Igfig: they will see you Igfig: approaching, I mean frosty_the_boatman: i turn off when i am ducked Igfig: I don't think that's true frosty_the_boatman: oh Igfig: you'd have to cover your light entirely frosty_the_boatman: do i still have those sheets? Igfig: sheets? frosty quit. frosty_the_boatman: to cover up during.night search Igfig: oh Igfig: probably more like big things of canvas? But yeah, I suppose so frosty joined #pwot_dnd2. frosty: i do that then Igfig: all right frosty: should that be a stealth roll? Igfig: aye frosty: 1d20+5 stealth Fortuna: frosty, stealth: [2] = 7 frosty: oof Igfig: also, you remember Varus telling you about a handy back entrance he found into Chydris frosty: ooooo frosty: i unsneakily fly there Igfig: where the scrap-crabs drop off their salvage Igfig: in the airship? frosty: how else? Igfig: oh, then you don't get a stealth check for that at all frosty: not like they take night breaks, do they? frosty: ha Igfig: I thought you were using the sheets to hide under while they passed over you frosty: well i fairly failed it anway frosty: yeah Igfig: you can't hide an airship in flight frosty: i hide, they pass over, i rise in blindspot Igfig: the ring would just set everything on fire frosty: alright Varus joined #pwot_dnd2. Varus: who wants to get hella gat Varus: ok do your thing Blaze joined #pwot_dnd2. Igfig: okay, so you were just going to fly right up to the back of the fortress then? frosty: Varus if you transport to me now i will probly barrel roll you off frosty: Blaze we cool Varus: well Varus: youre way out of my range Varus: id have to hella fate point it to get there Igfig: no varus, that would just be straight impossible Varus: and then id probably end up fighting you and the only fatepoint i could use would be my necromancy and basically not a good idea Varus: yeah frosty: anyway yes ig Igfig: you'd be trying to do a level 7 effect with a level 4 spell Varus: also igfig wasnt the entrance i found just into the trash place Igfig: yeah, but it went further in Varus: it wasnt an entrance into like the actual fortress castle thing Varus: no i teleported out after failing to overload anything Varus: and landed on the church Varus: and then we snuck in the front ways Igfig: that is true frosty: like i said ig, frosty's tactics arent washington at delaware level Igfig: okay, so you fly around toward it Igfig: you are greeted by a hail of ballista bolts frosty: "aight gonna do this gotta set it right, was counting on me cant let down" Varus: haaaah frosty: hahahah frosty: of course Igfig: uh, make an acrobatics check if you want to take evasive action frosty: what is dodge frosty: 1d20+8 Fortuna: frosty, 1d20+8: [15] = 23 frosty: boom Igfig: okay, they're getting disadvantage on their rolls then Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [2] = 6; 1d20+4: [2] = 6 frosty: then as soon as i get up i am eating the sock, if i dont get dead on the way Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [11] = 15; 1d20+4: [4] = 8 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [11] = 15; 1d20+4: [11] = 15 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [12] = 16; 1d20+4: [15] = 19 Igfig: uh Igfig: hmm frosty: suckers Igfig: we never actually figured out your stats as a ship frosty: hmm that is right Igfig: your AC is 15 as an elemental, right? frosty: yes Blaze: I might have the music for this, if the loop ever lets the song get to that bottom rightish part. Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRRVKYV149BBE7E819&sq=0 Igfig: Probably any gains in armour from the hull would be offset by losses of agility, so maybe let's keep the same AC frosty: aight Igfig: as for hp... they don't have vehicle rules yet, but maybe we should double your own HP for the ship? Similar to what we did for Spelljamer frosty: sure frosty: 92*2 Fortuna: frosty, 92*2: [] = 184 Varus: ben has 92 hp at level 9?? Varus: thats a little Igfig: that seems like it's in the right ballpark Varus: ridiculous Igfig: level 8 frosty: i am level 8 Igfig: his con is 20, you see Varus: even still Varus: huh Varus: well ok then i gues Igfig: and he has d10 hit dice for being large Blaze: Like a level 8 barbarian would have more then that I think, let me check. Varus: nah its fiiine Igfig: so okay Varus: im too used to being made of paper Blaze: I recall off the top of my head that a barbarian with max con and the toughness feat has 325 hit points at level 20, and if they are the one kind of dwarf they can have 345 hp. Igfig: a crossbow is 1d10+Dex damage... so maybe these should be straight 3d10? That'd roughly double the damage Igfig: 2#3d10 Fortuna: Igfig, 3d10: [3, 6, 9] = 18; 3d10: [5, 3, 10] = 18 Blaze: And yar, a level 8 barbarian with a +0 con modifier has more hp then that. Blaze: Only 4 points, but yar. frosty: shouuld i put this somewhere on my sheet ig or do you got this Igfig: hmm Igfig: I'm trying to decide whether you should just take half of the damage the vessel takes, or if you should take full damage once the ship has lost half its hp frosty: question 2, do i have space in the doc to just fly at these suckers Igfig: the second make more sense I think Igfig: so yeah I'll track it Varus: the second yar Igfig: just fly at them? Like... ramming? frosty: yes, can i ram into the trash dock, or is it too small Igfig: probably not, but if you're not worrying about stealth you could conceivably try and enter just about anywhere Varus: fuck stealth Igfig: this is what it looks like, if you recall Igfig: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090108212855/eberron/images/e/e6/Argonth.jpg frosty: i am not worried about stealth they are already shooting at me Igfig: aye Igfig: so the front half is all fortressy, the back half is more towny Igfig: another useful image: Igfig: http://nevsepic.com.ua/uploads/posts/2011-10/thumbs/1318755435_www.nevsepic.com.ua-argonth.jpg frosty: can i land on that kickstand looking thing Varus: what Igfig: the what? Igfig: The heel? frosty: sure Igfig: That's not its real name, but it looks like a shoe to me Igfig: well, the heel is all towers on top Igfig: so you could just ram into a tower yeah I guess Igfig: but you're still a ways out, and another volley is coming for you! frosty: WOOOOO Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [14] = 18; 1d20+4: [6] = 10 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [2] = 6; 1d20+4: [7] = 11 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [2] = 6; 1d20+4: [14] = 18 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [20] = 24; 1d20+4: [1] = 5 Igfig: oh I forgot to ask you to make your acrobatics check first frosty: misss frosty: oh is it dif Igfig: yeah, new acrobatics check frosty: 1d20+8 Fortuna: frosty, 1d20+8: [15] = 23 Igfig: if you fail I'll use the first number from each-- oh frosty: same Igfig: well then Igfig: So they all miss, because you are a crazy good pilot frosty: WHEEEEE frosty: i am a fire on a mission Igfig: This time, however, the ballista shots are joined by a blast from a siege wand frosty: hahaha Igfig: which is like a wand that magnifies the range and area of a spell in it by like 10x I think? frosty shrug Varus: i lik ehtat Igfig: so instead of a 100-foot range, this lightning bolt has a range of almost a quarter mile Igfig: make a Ref save Igfig: er Igfig: Dex frosty: 1d20+5 Fortuna: frosty, 1d20+5: [17] = 22 Varus: jesuss man frosty: thank you gods Igfig: It's hard to dodge a lightning bolt entirely, so you do take half Igfig: 4d8 lightning Fortuna: Igfig, lightning: [1, 2, 2, 6] = 11 Varus: get 'em Varus: geeett 'em Igfig: and make a con save to avoid having anything on your deck catch fire frosty: 1d20+8 Fortuna: frosty, 1d20+8: [1] = 9 frosty: hah Igfig: or I guess you could voluntarily fail that if you want to be metal Igfig: or that Igfig: uh Igfig: hmm frosty: BURNNN Igfig: I think Igfig: that while it wasn't a direct hit Igfig: that bolt just grazed Varus' lab frosty: ehhehehe Varus: YO Varus: BRO Varus: BE CAREFUL Igfig: and there is a lot of flammable stuff in there, normally with the metal room around it Varus: i got experiments running in there Varus: the metal thing is more of a box i use to control environmental conditions on a smaller scale Varus: so itd only be nlike Igfig: unfortunately, a metal room, while good against fire, is a danger when it comes to lightning Varus: 3x3x3 feet Igfig: oh Igfig: ok Igfig: well, still Blaze: Weren't we keeping the other dragonshards in there now? Igfig: a lot of things in the bow section of the ship are now on fire Igfig: oh no Igfig: no wait Varus: no they were still in the hold i think frosty: yeah Igfig: I thought you put them in a jury-rigged group housing? Igfig: So they could talk to each other Blaze: Yar. frosty: oooo right Varus: oops frosty: ig just tell me where i got hit man Igfig: which is probably in the middle of the ship, near Frosty's housing Igfig: you got grazed in the bow, and Varus' lab is on fire frosty: WOOOOO Varus: hey Varus: dumbass Varus: the research papers are in there frosty: just like i planned frosty: pshhhh frosty: 'research' Igfig: and you are now lined up perfectly on your approach vector Varus: any lesser wizard researcher will take a year or more to work out how to get you that bead's power frosty: anyway can i eat the fireball sock now Igfig: not while you're still in the propulsion ring Varus: with no protection or anything? Varus: oh boy Igfig: you'll have to detach, which will stop you accelerating Varus: will he fall? Igfig: nah, he'd just retain his forward velocity Blaze: We already figured that the ship won't fall while he is out of the thing, yar. I think. Varus: ok Igfig: you're going pretty fast already, but you could get up a lot more speed if you used this full space to accelerate Varus: so set it going Igfig: up to you Igfig: how much damage you want to inflict here Varus: isnt he going to work with them Varus: thats what i thought Blaze: Nah, he's going after his girlfriend. Varus: well he coulda just asked us about that Varus: like we were gunna get them back frosty: well i'd still like to get the shards if possible, and that most likely requires the frosty and i to be alive frosty: so hmmm Igfig: ok, that's fair Igfig: so you're going to ram at a slower speed then? Retain your current velocity? frosty: i mean the chances here are looking fairly bad for survival, but anything to tip it in the not die favor Igfig: Friction's pretty low when it's just air, so you'll stay at this speed even if you leave the propulsion ring frosty: alright then Igfig: So I figure the effective Str of an airship is probably 30 frosty: alrigt Igfig: and if we, say, use falling damage multiplied by size categories above Medium Igfig: er, above Small I guess really Igfig: you're Gargantuan in this form Igfig: so that's three size cats up, so x4 damage... Varus: god igfig your mechanic game is so raw frosty: gonna crash this symbol of slavery! frosty: BOOM Igfig: going at about 30 mph... that's 300 feet per round Igfig: terminal velocity is about 120 mph though, so it'd quarter the falling damage for that Igfig: well... 20d6 damage to the Frosty, 20d6+20 to Chydris? Igfig: no wait, +30 with the Charger feat Varus: chrsit Igfig: we'll use the same roll, just plus 30 Igfig: would you like to roll, Frosty? Varus: how much if he accelerated frosty: 20d6 Fortuna: frosty, 20d6: [1, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 1, 4, 6, 6, 1, 4, 4, 5, 1, 2, 2, 1, 5, 5] = 64 Varus: rthat wasnt too great frosty: WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE Igfig: and 94 to the fortress! frosty: IM ON A COLLISION COURSE Varus: oH SHIT BOY Varus: FATE POINT frosty: IM OUTTA CONTROL Igfig: The ship has taken 111 damage, so Ben takes lessee Igfig: 111-92 Fortuna: Igfig, 111-92: [] = 19 Igfig: 19 damage to Ben frosty: aight frosty: i can deal frosty: and /me eat bead Varus: wait Varus: wasnt he out of the thing though Varus: so he wasnt taking damage from it Igfig: oh yeah, good point... he's still in a crashing ship, so he takes damage, but you can do a Str save for half frosty: 1d20+4 Fortuna: frosty, 1d20+4: [10] = 14 Igfig: ooh, I don't think that's quite enough Igfig: full 19 damage frosty: ok Igfig: The two vessels collide in a colossal shattering of stone, wood and metal frosty: ahahahaha Igfig: dozens of warforged are sent flying in every direction Varus: ben save the bead for a sec Varus: get actually INTO the ship Varus: before you explode frosty: frosty's bes hour Varus: so its not just a damage on the side Varus: implode Varus: create a singularity of fire inside the ship frosty: no i am eating this now frosty: i am fire, eater of all Igfig: you haven't hit anything vital for the fortress's propulsion, but the living areas are rekt Varus: but if half of it explodes outside the ship Varus: thats 1/2 the damage frosty: eater of worlds Igfig: And standing above it all, laughing frosty: eater of life Igfig: a man of fire, holding a sock over his hea Igfig: d frosty: my tongues of flame shall burn all Igfig: he is fire, eater of all frosty eat Varus: wait Varus: where was arryn Igfig: and he eats the fire Igfig: and I think that's where we'll end for today Varus: arryn is either dead on the ship or somewhere lost in a church frosty: heheheheh Igfig: you don't know! You haven't seen her! Igfig: She is like a ghost when she wants to be Varus: id love to see her push him over at the last second and take the sock Varus: thatd be funny Varus: man shes good Blaze: I'm guessing the other 3 of us have met back up and have rested though, at least a short rest. Varus: its almost like she made us forget about her Igfig: aye Blaze: (Cause I could use it) frosty: no way she survived that if she was in the ship frosty: i am surprised i am still alive Igfig: well, those in the ship only took 19 damage, unless they were in the bow Varus quit. frosty: good session Igfig: all right, night all Igfig: good game Blaze: Yar, lots of fun. frosty: did yall kidnap the pope Igfig: they did not Blaze: I performed some mystical falcon theater. Igfig: but they did kidnap... her heart frosty: oooooo Igfig quit.
