Sol
ok poke me on trpg when you need me

Golurk
can i vote now
i might.. pass out

Horanoven A.
that might be for the best

Drufle (GM)
yeah i think we might have to do something along those lines
do you want to bring sol back so we have 3/4
or do you just want to give your own votes, golurk

Golurk
sure
to the first thing

Drufle (GM)
righto

Sol
aiht
aight*

Drufle (GM)
righto, this will be like
session 6.5

Horanoven A.
microsession

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, pretty much.

Horanoven A.
lets start with Roy

Drufle (GM)
no screw it im not going to bother with the super voice
yeah sounds good to me
let's see if i can get some nice music

Horanoven A.
Session 6.5 Start

Sol
super voice?

Drufle (GM)
My very proper GM voice with correct grammar and all that.

Sol
ah

Drufle (GM)
ok some of these songs still arent working?
https://soundcloud.com/pawomoco/sets/jazz-souls-vol-1
heres a nice album use this if you'd like

Horanoven A.
this is why we can't trust this new music thingy

Drufle (GM)
so yes lets start with roy
for golurks sake
so
my choices for roy, as i mentioned a long time ago

Horanoven A.
the four choices, and yer thoughts on them

Drufle (GM)
are wizard, sorcerer, warlock, and spellbinder
wizard was the obvious one
because it's just hardcore magic thinky type
sorcerer fit well because of roy's general recklessness and desire to be powerful
warlock was not actually on my original list, but golurk changed my mind on shaman
warlock is a good fit because it's a representative of magical survival

Drufle (GM)
which, as a young girl who has already almost died twice (although one of those wasnt canon)
she could really use

Horanoven A.
she's been the closest to death out of all of us

Drufle (GM)
and the final option is spellbinder, which combines her love of magic and her enjoyment of smacking things with weapons
so those are the four options!
in short, Wi/So/Wa/Sp
as a reminder
i myself will not be voting here
because my vote was picking these four paths

Sol
we ranking them right?

Drufle (GM)
so the rest of you please list these four options from most accurate to least

Sol
So
Wa
Sp
Wi

Horanoven A.
Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard, Spellbinder

Sol
ack

Golurk
Wiz>War>SB>Sor

Drufle (GM)
wow i think audio is like 100% broken on this site now
nothing seems to be playing

Horanoven A.
something tried to play

Drufle (GM)
oh?

Golurk
yeah

Drufle (GM)
i didnt hear it at all

Horanoven A.
it played for a bit
which was wierd

Golurk
violins

Horanoven A.
oh hey there is a thing again

Sol
they probably need to update, html5 is kind of moving really fast right now

Drufle (GM)
thats so weird, i dont hear anything
anyway
let me write down your votes

Horanoven A.
Golurk going again the trend
we'll see how this goes

Sol
just so we're clear - the player can veto the popular vote?

Horanoven A.
yup

Drufle (GM)
of course

Horanoven A.
we don't have mopp's vote though

Drufle (GM)
the path vote is always merely a suggestion

Sol
can they go off-list?

Drufle (GM)
from my four options?

Sol
yeah i know i'm just clariffying for myself

Horanoven A.
I would hope they stay on the options

Drufle (GM)
they can only stray from my options if they have a better choice and the party agrees with at least a 3/4 majority

Sol
right

Drufle (GM)
well 3/5

Sol
seems legit

Drufle (GM)
well as it stands, without mopps vote
we're at 7 wizard, 9 sorcerer, 9 warlock, 5 spellbinder

Golurk
:3c

Horanoven A.
looks like we need a tiebreaker

Drufle (GM)
pretty close for the non-spellbinder paths
right!
let's do uh
drumun next

Horanoven A.
dah dwerf

Drufle (GM)
my choices are:

Horanoven A.
Are ye ready?

Drufle (GM)
fighter, because it's the generic punchy class and would serve to assist drumun's capacity as a balanced warrior
berserker, to bring in part of his skinchanger heritage to his dwarf self by unleashing an inner ferocity
mystic, to unlock an inner power and allow drumun to join the ranks of the mages without sacrificing his melee

Sol
m-m-m-monk

Drufle (GM)
and ranger, to increase the sneaky stuff hes been doing lately, while also giving him plenty of punchy power
go ahead and vote

Horanoven A.
I'll vote last

Sol
this is a tuff list
for me
can i give the same rank to two options

Drufle (GM)
hmmmm
i'll have to say no

Sol
aight

Golurk
fighter>ranger>mystic>berserker

Drufle (GM)
for purposes of avoiding ties

Sol
berserker/fighter/ranger/mystic

Horanoven A.
Mystic, Ranger, Fighter, Beserker

Sol
:<

Drufle (GM)
well then

Horanoven A.
sorry sol

Sol
s'algirhgt
it's not a very balanced choice

Drufle (GM)
9 fighter, 7 mystic, 6 berserker, 8 ranger

Sol
i just wamt ypi tp gp muts
you to go*
lol wtf my typign

Horanoven A.
I am very tempted to just veto fighter automatically
screw being generic

Sol
do it
it would suit you
you're very fighter-y

Horanoven A.
we don't have mopp's vote yet

Sol
did drufle crash

Golurk
woops

Horanoven A.
I would hope not
droofleheim? you there?

Drufle (GM)
yeah

Golurk
he back

Drufle (GM)
wanted to see if i can fix the audio
i can cool
anyway!
let's do ruse now
my options:
cleric, because, i mean, obviously

Drufle (GM)
very much a religious man, devoted to his religion

Sol
cleric is still a healy class in sotdl?

Horanoven A.
uh oh, my mouse is almost out of battery

Drufle (GM)
paladin, because while devoted to his religion, he's also been rather good at protecting his comrades
cleric isnt super healy no
it's basically just making your religious magic better
fighter, to empower his capacity to shoot rifles and assist with melee combat

Sol
ah

Drufle (GM)
and oracle, to help channel divine energy through himself to more directly commune with the new god
go ahead and vote

Sol
i'll vote last

Horanoven A.
alright
is paladin more fighty than cleric?

Drufle (GM)
yeah

Golurk
pally>cleric>oracle>fighter

Drufle (GM)
paladins are both more combat-oriented and defense-oriented
very much in dnd style

Horanoven A.
Paladin, Oracle, Cleric, Fighter
well we have music playing

Drufle (GM)
can you guys hear this music by the way

Horanoven A.
I can

Golurk
yes

Drufle (GM)
good
i found some nice non-evil jazz

Sol
evil jaz is best jaz

Golurk
agree

Horanoven A.
I liked the evil jazz

Drufle (GM)
well unfortunately the evil jazz i was using wasnt transferred to fanburst
and i cant download it!

Horanoven A.
fanburst is just really bad in this instance, eh?

Sol shrugs and pouts non-ironically

Drufle (GM)
well it just means i have to find new music for the most part
i got lucky that some stuff was actually ported over
and i moved some of it myself

Sol
you're not limited by copyrights right

Horanoven A.
I'm okay with just using external sources as needed

Drufle (GM)
im not no

Sol
you're not publishing our game

Moppy
alright I'm here

Horanoven A.
hoi mopp

Moppy
Sam is here too

Drufle (GM)
but some soundcloud tracks just dont give you the option to download them

Moppy
how do I make new names

Drufle (GM)
what like new characters?

Sol
he needs to sign up for roll20

Drufle (GM)
i have to do that

Sol
aand then drufle mkes the things

Moppy
she can't
because

Sol
she*
apologies

Moppy
no computer

Sol
ah.

Moppy
she's literally here with me

Drufle (GM)
righto

Horanoven A.
well this will be interesting

Drufle (GM)
hmmm
i mean i can give her a character to take but youd have to keep switching between the two

Moppy
yeah that's fine

Golurk
hello

Drufle (GM)
there it's under your folder

Sam
Hi

Sol
o/

Horanoven A.
hello!

Drufle (GM)
and by your folder i mean "the only things you should be capable of seeing"
and welcome friend

Horanoven A.
welcome to the wonder land of death and despair that is SotDL

Moppy
yeah we see it now

Drufle (GM)
so mopp/sam

Sol
moppnsam

Drufle (GM)
we're in the middle of doing the expert path vote

Horanoven A.
there are a lot of dead people around

Sol
sorry could not help myself

Sam
she says that I may as well type for her rn
no glasses
' 3'

Drufle (GM)
pfffft

Sam
whoops

Moppy
did it again

Drufle (GM)
well whatever works!
so i assume he explained the general path mechanics to you, sam
we just finished level 2
so now we're voting on what expert paths the characters will be taking for level 3
mopp, we already did the partial votes for roy and drumun

Sol
we moidered a fairy and not-quite-moidered a high inquisitor

Moppy
I'll show her the pdfs later

Horanoven A.
demon fairy thing
it was quite the fight

Drufle (GM)
so let's have mopp quickly catch up

Horanoven A.
lot of hammer swings

Drufle (GM)
by voting on roy first

Moppy
okay!
how do I do dis again

Drufle (GM)
the options, as you may or may not remember
are wizard, sorcerer, warlock, and spellbinder

Horanoven A.
4 options, put them in order of what you think fits

Moppy
what's the scoop on each again?

Golurk
wizard has a grimoire of spells

Drufle (GM)
wizard, because of its generic magic learning capabilities and roy's curiosity
sorcerer, due to roy's recklessness and general desire for Power

Golurk
sorcerer is a magic user literally bursting with energy

Drufle (GM)
warlock, to protect roy and help her survival

Golurk
warlock is an anti-magic magic user

Horanoven A.
steals magic from others

Drufle (GM)
and spellbinder to combine her magic with her love of hitting things

Horanoven A.
like actually rips it from their mind its kinda cool

Golurk
spellbinder is like a pathfinder magus

Drufle (GM)
yeah like
almost exactly
so vote for the four, in order of most accurate to least
using abbreviations as necessary
Wi/So/Wa/Sp

Moppy
ok so
my vote is
So/Wa/Sb/Wi

Horanoven A.
did we break the tie?

Drufle (GM)
gosh thats hilarious
everyone made sorcerer their first choice and golurk made it his last choice

Horanoven A.
woops
sorry golurk

Moppy
oh dear

Drufle (GM)
the final tallies

Horanoven A.
this is good, Mopp doesn't know what we voted

Drufle (GM)
are: sorcerer 13, warlock 12, wizard 8, spellbinder 7
as always, this is merely a suggestion to the player
what do you think roy should be, golurk?

Horanoven A.
strong showing for Sorcerer and Warlock

Golurk
i really wanted wizard because book

Moppy
oh right yes books

Horanoven A.
you have a book already though

Moppy
see I reasoned that

Drufle (GM)
apparently people think roy's recklessness outweighs her curiosity

(From Sol)
https://youtu.be/4LUGCqiPx5M?list=PL166CF5C4ABE55CF1

Moppy
since she's highly likely to just turn into an avatar

Horanoven A.
she has gotten herself nearly killed at least once

Moppy
of an elder god
in the future

Horanoven A.
and once more in the tutorial

Moppy
may as well go crazy!

Drufle (GM)
:P

Golurk
but i guess im going to try warlock

Drufle (GM)
warlock it is!

Moppy
don't do anything you don't want to!

(To Sol)
what's all this then

Drufle (GM)
if golurk wants to change his mind later, we can do so
for now, let's keep things moving
mopp let's have you vote on drumun next

(From Sol)
more moody music

Moppy
ok

Horanoven A.
oh boy

Drufle (GM)
your options are:

Horanoven A.
ye better think carefully, lad

Drufle (GM)
fighter, for more punching power and punching versatility
berserker, to unleash his inner skinchanger and make him a bit wild
mystic, to increase his magic power while keeping him still melee
and ranger, to continue his trend of being sneaky while not losing out on fighting power

(To Sol)
im not honestly sure how to turn youtube videos into fanburst but i'll see what i can do

Moppy
alright

(From Sol)
oh sorry i thought you said you can just do youtube

(From Sol)
don't worry about it if it's a hassle

(To Sol)
nah not anymore

Moppy
Be/Fi/Ra/My

Drufle (GM)
boy is that so
. !

Horanoven A.
I am upset by this

Drufle (GM)
the final results then

Horanoven A.
significantly so

Moppy
Sam agrees that we need more awkward situations

Sol
:D IKR!

Drufle (GM)
snrk

Horanoven A.
I can turn into a god damn pig

Sol
Sam knows what's up

Horanoven A.
how is that not already awkward?

Sol
well yo hvaen't yet

Drufle (GM)
you havent done it yet!

Sol
^

Horanoven A.
that's on you druf
Drumun isn't going to do that willingly

Drufle (GM)
anyway, the totals
are fighter 12, berserker and ranger somehow tied at 10, and mystic at 8

Horanoven A.
here is the issue
Hybrid form doesn't mix with armor

Sol
he doesn't even need to veto

Horanoven A.
at all
Sol, Veto means "No, absolutely not"
not "I will be this"

Sol
i know

Golurk
berserker gets a bonus when wearing no armor right

Drufle (GM)
yes

Sol
you don't need to veto becaue the decision is in your favour

Horanoven A.
Mystic gets bonus with no armor as well

Drufle (GM)
well, not for light armor

Sol
not really sure why you felt the need t oexplain that

Horanoven A.
Sol I don't want fighter
I never wanted fighter

Sol
i thought you did
my bad

Drufle (GM)
yeah he was aiming for mystic

Sol
oh

Drufle (GM)
which everyone else seems to disagree with!

Horanoven A.
bah

Moppy
oh well
be mystic man then

Drufle (GM)
if you want to be a mystic, go ahead

Sol
well then just veto

Horanoven A.
I can't pick fighter because Armor

Moppy
your happiness is paramount

Drufle (GM)
^

Sol
yup

Horanoven A.
if beserker gets bonuses without armor though
that's okay

Drufle (GM)
just keep in mind that you should change your roleplaying to account for these votes, i think

Horanoven A.
though I need to look them up again

Drufle (GM)
well we'll think about this later
after the voting is done

Sol
aye

Drufle (GM)
finally let's clean up ruse
and then get to hk
mopp the options for ruse
are cleric, because obviously
religious man is religious

Sol
he meme'd my character..

Horanoven A.
that he did

Drufle (GM)
paladin, because while he is a fervent man of the new god, he's also been quite protective of his comrades
fighter, to continue his capacity to shoot things and assist in combat
and oracle, to more directly channel the new god's power

Sol
hora also needs to vote still

Drufle (GM)
no he did

Horanoven A.
I voted already

Drufle (GM)
you didnt, sol

Horanoven A.
Sol pls

Sol
did he?
i only saw golurk's

Horanoven A.
you were here

Drufle (GM)
you were waiting until everyone else was done
well i have two votes written down here

Sol
fair enough
mopp?

Moppy
okay

Drufle (GM)
im fairly certain i didnt make this other one up...
although it does look like a vote i would cast
regardless

Horanoven A.
I know I voted, dun worry
you arn't completely crazy

Sol
no that's just me apparently

Horanoven A.
that's the name of the game, Sol

Sol
Sol is a good name for a game

Horanoven A.
everone just goes crazy

Moppy
righto, Pa/Cl/Or/Fi

Horanoven A.
pretty sure there is a game named Sol already

Sol
nice

Drufle (GM)
a shocking vote, indeed
sol?

Sol
Pa/Or/Cl/Fi

Horanoven A.
Paladin is wining by a landslide

Drufle (GM)
right then

Sol
have you looked at the path in the book? it's amazing

Drufle (GM)
the final results

are
paladin in a landslide 16, oracle and cleric tied at 10, and fighter at a measly 4

Moppy
well then

Sol
yeah i mean i like my gun but screw fighter

Horanoven A.
fighter is too generic

Drufle (GM)
i think it should go without saying that a 16 is an auto-choice

Horanoven A.
no one wants generic

Moppy
...can I have i
t

Sol
it's probably one of your choices

Horanoven A.
you don't know what your choices are yet mopp
though I'm pretty sure its on there

Moppy
I mean can I have the gun :P

Horanoven A.
oh

Sol
oh
hahahah
well buy you one man
it's not expensive for us now

Moppy
we have money

Drufle (GM)
yeah we are at no dearth of cash
for certain

Horanoven A.
we're rich now

Drufle (GM)
anyway, sol?

Sol
ofc we need to pay lifestyles

Drufle (GM)
i assume paladin

Sol
paladingdinging we have a winner

Drufle (GM)
cool cool
let's finally get to hk
this was uh
a rough choice for me, honestly
the choices are:
fighter, to help HK become more combatative and assist in his versatility

Drufle (GM)
paladin, to go along with his newfound desire to kill demons and protect his allies

Sol
don't you hve to be religious to create a paladin?

Drufle (GM)
juggernaut, to be Big and use his size and raw strength to ruin those smaller than him
yes and no, sol
paladins can also simply be devoted to killing demons

Horanoven A.
I believe juggernaut goes unarmed a lot

Sol
h
ah

Drufle (GM)
in which case you pick 3 traditions that relate to your character

Moppy
you just have to be devoted to Good Works

Sol
fair enough

Drufle (GM)
and the fourth choice, the spellbinder, to bring back some of HK's latent magic power to infuse his attacks

Horanoven A.
the issue is we just got a paladin

Drufle (GM)
so golurk/noven/sol, go ahead and vote
and mopp, unless you want to wait

Horanoven A.
I am all for HK doing even more damage

Moppy
I wait

Golurk
SB>JN>F>P

Sol
points for Terminal reference

Drufle (GM)
i always loved that movie

Sol
one of Tom Hanks' best performances
he learned bulgarian for it

Drufle (GM)
yeah it's great

Horanoven A.
Spellbinder, Fighter, Juggernaught, Paladin

Sol
I'm gonna copy golurk's vote please

Drufle (GM)
oh
well then

Horanoven A.
ctrl c ctrl v

Drufle (GM)
so uh
mopp?

Moppy
oh dear

Sol
we want to see your magic..

Drufle (GM)
i must say this vote is actually betraying my expectations

Moppy
Ju/Sb/Fi/Pa

Drufle (GM)
well then

Sol
you want to go full-on tank mode?

Drufle (GM)
the final results

Horanoven A.
our votes might partially be made to avoid paladin

Sol
like literally tank

Horanoven A.
because Russ is one

Sol
that's your bias hora, i just want mo magic

Drufle (GM)
are: spellbinder 15, juggernaut 12, fighter 9, paladin 4
i gotta say i wasnt expecting spellbinder to be so high
that was my fourth "i dont know what else to do so i'll throw this in here" choice

Moppy
well I am sorry to disappoint you all but I can't make spellbinder agree with me lore-wise

Sol
that's fine

Moppy
I wanna bust heads

Horanoven A.
very well then

Drufle (GM)
really?

Moppy
rip 'em off

Sol
juggernaut is cool

Horanoven A.
Juggernaut then?

Drufle (GM)
well good enough then

Moppy
give me the dome helmet

Drufle (GM)
righto! juggernaut it is
i'll have to make sure you have that book
if you dont have it already

Sol
all of them are on telegram
in one file
aren't they?

Horanoven A.
uhhhh

Drufle (GM)
anyway that's the end of the expert path vote

Moppy
yeah I didn't download it to my comp

Drufle (GM)
and i think if you dig enough, yes

Horanoven A.
there are so many different books

Drufle (GM)
they should all be there

Moppy
I'll get it later

Drufle (GM)
so in the end...
we have a bit of confusion about what everyone actually is

Horanoven A.
a lot of vetos for the top vote

Drufle (GM)
due to some rather clear difference between what the player thought they were and what the others thought they were!
keep this in mind for future roleplaying, friends

Horanoven A.
I have mechanical reasons for dropping fighter
most that I would destroy my armor every time I skinchange

Sol
you actually already behave like a mystic

Drufle (GM)
i think people were just really gunning for punchy boarman

Sol
i wanted punchy screaming boarman

Horanoven A.
I'm between Beserker and Mystic then

Drufle (GM)
fair enough!

Horanoven A.
Drumun has been yelling a lot recently

Drufle (GM)
and roy may or may not be a warlock
depending on what he ends up deciding

Sol
so.. the vote is concluded but our choices are not?

Drufle (GM)
correct

Horanoven A.
more or less

Drufle (GM)
i'd appreciate it if noven and golurk made their final decisions by tomorrow or so
so i can do some Planning
