Drufle (GM)
heyo

Rose
I'm ready to shoot things again now
or do I pack my bags and start walking away

Drufle (GM)
:P
by the way i went and checked
and this is session 14

Rose
oh!

Drufle (GM)
meaning that my early-campaign guess of 2 sessions per level is remarkably accurate

Moppy
isn't that nice

Rose
well that's good

Drufle (GM)
so reasonably speaking
this campaign ought to be over in less than 10 sessions

H. Knight
pfft
actually no

Rose
so we aint doing soo bad then

H. Knight
10 sessions sounds reasonable
but
it'll be over twice as many weeks

Drufle (GM)
oh yeah
i mean we'll be having a 3-ish week break after this session
since the GM will be absent

Rose
are you backing a ballistic vest?

Drufle (GM)
uh no
all my kevlar is not in the house

H. Knight
would the security even let him through with one

Drufle (GM)
doubt it

Rose
yep, just not chain mail

H. Knight
oh okay then

Drufle (GM)
but yeah 10 sessions is like 2.5 months
so if we can keep things going once i get back

Rose
just put in your luggage and not on you

Drufle (GM)
this might just be over in septemberish

Rose
so wake me up, when September ends

Drufle (GM)
badumtish

H. Knight
i expect december
I want an ass-kickin christmas

Horanoven A.
I have been summoned

Drufle (GM)
what a mess this map is

H. Knight
awful diagonals

Drufle (GM)
oh geez thats right
you guys cant see behind the shadows

H. Knight
ahhh

Horanoven A.
oh

Sol
eeh

Horanoven A.
that's why this map is so big

H. Knight
lift the fog of war

Horanoven A.
more eeeevil

Drufle (GM)
dont worry about the guys down there
theyre fine

H. Knight
are they unreachable background fights

R�senfeld does not trust the GM :3

Drufle (GM)
i was going to have them there as a sign of "everybodys fighting dudes not just you"
but then i forgot to unhide them

H. Knight
yeah ok

R�senfeld
jk

Drufle (GM)
you have no reason to trust me
i am very good at killing
(that is a complete unabashed lie)

R�senfeld
or is it?!
dun dun dunnnn

H. Knight
who of us would be dead if you had followed the rules more closely

Drufle (GM)
Anyway, might as well start a couple of minutes early.

Horanoven A.
I mean, I don't feel dead

H. Knight
me certainly

R�senfeld
like all o us
of*

Drufle (GM)
Retcon: everyone is dead.

Horanoven A.
shit

Drufle (GM)
You were all ghosts all along!

Horanoven A.
welp, time for backups

R�senfeld
"Oh my. I am dead. Rip me."
"New god, you have failed me."
shhh
ruse
shut up
stay in character

Roy's Medium Summon
so many dead people

H. Knight
ahahahaha

Drufle (GM)
So I went and checked, and this is session 14.
We've almost tied with PPP for number of sessions, in fact.
I think that one is currently stuck around 16?
Nowhere near Pathfinder 2, though.
That one was at like 21 when we stopped.
Anyway.

Drufle (GM)
Last time, the party arrived at Caecras to see everything was Done Messed Up.
Huge holes had been torn in the walls, and hordes of fomors, wargs, and other beastmen were pouring through.

Thicket
I guess we expected that to happen eventually
this city was doomed from the start

R�senfeld
YYyyeaahh.. kinda

Drufle (GM)
The massive blobby demon had joined up with a void bull in the center of town, and were wreaking mass destruction.

Thicket
will they perform a fusion dance?

H. Knight
please no

Drufle (GM)
Boy you guys would be like 200% dead if I did that.

Rose
i love dancing

Drufle (GM)
Quick, someone cast horrid joining on them.

R�senfeld goes out of character despite sol's instruction in order to facepalm

Thicket nods to Ruse, knowingly

H. Knight
one of the void walkers is going to do that aren't they

Drufle (GM)
With the help of Yvonne and some city militia, the party has cleaned out this section of town.

Rose starts dancing

Drufle (GM)
Towards the center of town, you can hear the crashes and screams of a massive battle.

R�senfeld
was Yvonne Kung Fu Fightin'?

H. Knight
actually she's a telepath

Drufle (GM)
She was doing concerning well.

Thicket
Yvonne, turns out, is a psychic
which is
very very powerful

H. Knight
when the gm flaunts the rules :P

Thicket
its very hard to actually defeat her

Roy's Small Summon
she could read all of ruses thoughts

Thicket
she has seduced the GM

Drufle (GM)
Turns out you can do some crazy stuff when you have all the rulebooks memorized front to back.

R�senfeld
I mean, he knows she always knows when he promises to do administrative tasks and never means it

Rose
well one of us girls eventually would have done

R�senfeld
i dunno why she still opts to make tea for us

Drufle (GM)
Oh yeah, and Rose almost single-handedly killed a bugbear.

H. Knight
Sol I should mention that Yvonne cast hold on the bugbear and never let it go

R�senfeld
cor blimey

Drufle (GM)
From way back there.

H. Knight
when she should have after rose shot it once

Rose smugly smiles whist still dancing teasingly

H. Knight
not that I am complaining

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, it's also incredible what you can do when you ignore the rules.
Anyway!

Thicket
I am, unfortunately, having no luck with my magic
and I'm running out of my stronger spells

H. Knight
(don't jinx it)

Drufle (GM)
The center of town is down and to the left.

Rose
wouldn't fey get a bonus when around fey royalty, even iff that person didn't knw it?

R�senfeld
so we should run headlong towards disaster and begin analyzing the situation?

Drufle (GM)
Only if the fey lord knowingly gives them a boon, Rose.

Rose
oh

H. Knight
"Time Runs Short, We Should Press Our Attack."

Drufle (GM)
They don't have a crazy Power Aura that I remember.

Rose
worth a try

Drufle (GM)
To the center of town!

Thicket
"A minor concern, how will we stop those larger creatures?"

Wari fucks off to find some real armor

Rose
shoot them

R�senfeld
"Aye."
"Minor, indeed. Let's go find out."

Roy's Small Summon
oh my

Thicket
oh dear

R�senfeld
that blob demon?

Drufle (GM)
The party rushes through the streets, weaving around corpses and rubble towards the center of town.

Thicket hides behind something

Rose
i thing i will remain just within shooting range

Drufle (GM)
They stop in a wide road, where both of the beasts have come together.

R�senfeld
better not be me you're hiding behind lol

Rose
what at the same time?

Thicket
you are taller than me

H. Knight
lewd

Drufle (GM)
This place is a horrible mess; buildings have collapsed, bodies lie everywhere, and random pieces of rubble lie around.

Thicket
she could hide behind you

R�senfeld
H.K.'s better for that lol

Thicket
well guess where I am then

Roy's Small Summon
thats a big bull man

Drufle (GM)
Rocks lie on the ground, a steeple from a nearby chapel has fallen over, pointing to death everywhere, and yet still people are fighting.
Thicket:
Perception Challenge
Roll 16
anything less obvious around?

R�senfeld
(what's a steeple?)

H. Knight
the pointy tower on a church

Roy's Small Summon
steel people

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, that.

R�senfeld
(thanks)

Roy's Small Summon
wake up! steeple

Drufle (GM)
Thicket doesn't notice anything of particular interest.

Thicket
welp

Drufle (GM)
In fact, Ruse and HK are probably the only ones that would.

H. Knight
...well that's a cue

Thicket
coughrollcough
R�senfeld:
Perception Challenge
Roll 14
H. Knight:
Perception Challenge
Roll 1

Drufle (GM)
In the meantime, Yvonne quietly walks off to the side for a few moments.

H. Knight
oh lord

Drufle (GM)
HK sees a whole lot of nothing.
Ruse, however.
Thinks those orcs desperately fighting the blob demon look awfully familiar.

Thicket
holy shit

R�senfeld
"Hmm. These orc look awfully familiar."

Thicket
"Those are orcs?"

R�senfeld
'They are orcs."
Rose:
Perception Challenge
Roll 0

R�senfeld
wow

Thicket
"I thought those were simply guards"

R�senfeld
that's stil borked

Drufle (GM)
Ignore her macros, I'm just looking at her actual rolls.
Rose doesn't recognize the orcs, but realizes they are as such, probably.
Yvonne quickly returns to the group.
H. Knight:
Perception Challenge
Roll 18

H. Knight stops blinking

R�senfeld
"So, I wonder if these are the group which the church was experimenting with."

Drufle (GM)
If you can remember even one of the orcs' names, I'll give you a free fortune point.

R�senfeld
shit
uhhhh
brute?

Roy's Small Summon
murder

Drufle (GM)
Nope and nope.

Roy's Small Summon
bone smash man

Thicket
Danny

H. Knight
Bonecruncher

Drufle (GM)
You guys are terrible at this.

R�senfeld
Meatgriner?
grinder*

Drufle (GM)
Closer, but still no.

H. Knight
Meathead
ohh boy

Drufle (GM)
I'm gonna give each of you two more guesses and then we're just gonna run into combat.

R�senfeld
fuck it i'm done guessing

H. Knight
same
I'm so sorry

R�senfeld
maing us try to remember some side char's name randomly

Thicket
Meatbucket

R�senfeld
c'mon man

Drufle (GM)
Fair enough.
:P

Thicket
MeatDan

Drufle (GM)
The orcs you met in the barracks were Rawhide, Stench, and Hatred.

H. Knight
there we go

Thicket
to be fair

R�senfeld
give yourself a fortune point, drufle

Roy's Small Summon
my boy hatred

Rose
do i shoot these ones?

Thicket
Only Ruse and HK would have a shot at knowing their names

Drufle (GM)
The fourth guy is actually Meatscarf, the one from the inquisitor killing part.

Thicket
do NOT shoot them
they are allies

Rose
but they are orks

R�senfeld
I knew there was Meatsomething

Thicket
they are also helping

R�senfeld
damnit

H. Knight hold up a hand to block Rose

Drufle (GM)
Speaking of shooting, it's actual combat time!

Thicket
Orc doesn't mean instant evil

H. Knight
"These Ones Are With Us."

Rose looks agitated

Thicket
wrong fantasy

R�senfeld
"Regardless, they are fighting our foes - use advantages where we can get them, if you want to live."

H. Knight
"Now Move!"

Rose
ooooh i love fantasies

H. Knight
gizzus turns

Drufle (GM)
Fey don't necessarily have anything against orcs; trolls are the ones they hate.
Who's going fast?

Rose
oh

H. Knight
CHAARGE

Rose
slow for me

R�senfeld
me

Thicket
I go slow

R�senfeld
i'll go fast
so i can blesssing
no wait
is it touch?
baaaah

Rose
i take it I'm in range

Drufle (GM)
Still touch, yes.

Thicket
"If I may make a suggestion: Please do not get hit"

Rose
of the big one

R�senfeld
fuck it i'll bless rose

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, you should be in range.

R�senfeld
if she doesn't kill me when i touch her that is

Thicket
"I do not think we can handle these creatures in melee combat"

Drufle (GM)
HK, you can double move if you so wish.

Rose
i'll let you if you pay first this time

Drufle (GM)
As an action.

H. Knight
ok

R�senfeld
uhhh

Rose
i don't offer my services for free

R�senfeld
not that kind of touch

Rose
oh

R�senfeld
thanks tho

Yvonne Lariel glares at the two next to her.

Rose puts on innocent face

Yvonne Lariel sprints ahead towards combat.

Thicket
can you reach Rose and Yvonne with a bless?

H. Knight
Yes Support Would Be Appreciated

R�senfeld
i can reach rose

H. Knight
"Get On!"

Thicket
so I am definitely still in Air Mode

R�senfeld
everybody else ran out o my reach

Thicket
you were going fast though

Drufle (GM)
Yvonne leaps up onto HK's back.

Thicket
you could've gotten them before they left

R�senfeld
they were out of my reach to begin with

Rose
do i go for the big one?

R�senfeld
only rose was next to me

Thicket
1-yard step is a triggered action

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, Ruse was in HK's range but HK wasn't in Ruse's range.
He could've only gotten rose or HK.

Thicket
step back behind Rose and Bless her and Yvonne

R�senfeld
GM - request to be allowed to retroactively bless HK instead
since rose actually gets plenty of boons

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead.
HK, you have +1 boon for 6 rounds.

R�senfeld
using 5-yard step to be in this position

H. Knight
excellent

R�senfeld
and therefore able to touch HK insted

Drufle (GM)
Friendly fast turns!

Rose
but i wanted to be touched. its been soo long.....

Thicket
1 yard, not 5
5 is like...5 tiles

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, sol means 5-foot step.

H. Knight
he's wearing seven-league boots

Drufle (GM)
The classic pathfinder name.

Thicket
ah

R�senfeld
are perception/int rolls an action?

Drufle (GM)
Depends on what you're using them for.

Thicket
"Rose, do you have any sort of acid?"

Drufle (GM)
The general answer is "no".

Rose
i have some of that goo
and poison

Thicket
well, Demons can't be poisoned

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+4+1d6( 6 )+4+( 5 ) = 15

Thicket
I was asking for acid because that might have hurt the demon a lot

R�senfeld
what do i use to try to find out weaknesses in either demon or the beast?

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+4+1d6( 14 )+4+( 6 ) = 24

Rose
sorry, n acid yet

Thicket
dang

H. Knight
oh god what roll was that

Drufle (GM)
Oh, can someone explain to Sol the little experiments you guys did?
With the goo.

Thicket
I'm guessing "murder"

H. Knight
ah yes

Thicket
oh yeah
the goo

Rose
oooooh

Drufle (GM)
I have rolls to make.

Thicket
the goo demon left a trail of the stuff

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+4+1d6( 9 )+4+( 6 ) = 19
rolling d20+4+1d6 ( 18 )+4+( 2 ) = 24

H. Knight
the tar like substance from the demon like, takes on properties of stuff that it contancts

Drufle (GM)
Alright, two hits.

Thicket
we messed around with it and found that it changed into whatever material it touched
including less material things, like my fire

Rose
but only for a short time

Thicket
hence why I asked for acid

Drufle (GM)
rolling 4d6( 1 + 5 + 5 + 3 ) = 14

R�senfeld
does this happen to the big blob demon too or is it controlled while the goo is attached?

Drufle (GM)
rolling 4d6( 6 + 6 + 1 + 3 ) = 16

Thicket
no idea
the demon might be made entirely of this goo

R�senfeld
should find out by throwing dirt at it

Rose
you could always try and fire ball it supernova style

Thicket
very much yes

H. Knight
if I stab it and it turns into steel, we'll know

Thicket
fire or dirt

R�senfeld
no, because if you throw fire at it
and it turns int oa fireball

Thicket
I have a Fireball left

Drufle (GM)
The orcs leap against the goo monster, slashing at it with their weapons desperately, sending slime flying.

R�senfeld
orcs will die instantly

Thicket
I can aim...behind?

R�senfeld
and they are distracting it right now

Thicket
these things are big, I can avoid hitting the orcs

R�senfeld
ok, that's worht a shot
need to reflect this in-character

Thicket
its Long range

Drufle (GM)
The city guards all miss the void bull, way to go guys.

Thicket
yes, say things to Thicket in character

Drufle (GM)
I'm doing these rolls secretly so they don't eat up the chat from now on.

Rose
more bull for me

H. Knight
dancing bull

R�senfeld
that's more fair anyway

Drufle (GM)
Anyway, monster fast turn!

Rose
is it red?

R�senfeld
ruse was present for science, yes?

Thicket
I think so

Drufle (GM)
He was, yeah, kinda.

Thicket
he was not amused

Drufle (GM)
He got a little impatient.

R�senfeld
that's.. annoyingly like him

Drufle (GM)
(To GM) rolling d20+1-2d6k1

Drufle (GM)
Well, that could've been worse.

Thicket
how many died?

Drufle (GM)
The void bull roars, the runes carved into its skin glowing bright red, and swings his axe.

R�senfeld
"Thicket, what did you find out about the goo again?''

Thicket
"Oh, the ooze from the demon takes on the properties of whatever touches it"
"But only for a short amount of time"

Drufle (GM)
The axe magnifies in size and sweeps out an arc far larger than anyone would normally expect.

Thicket
"fire has an effect on it"

R�senfeld
yikes

Thicket
"As did my hair"

R�senfeld
"That's hair? I thought it was like vines or something.."

Thicket sees the axe

H. Knight
"What In The God's Name..."

Thicket
Oh
wait

Rose
can i shoot it yet

Thicket
do I have counterspell yet?
that's a spell right?

Drufle (GM)
The axe cleaves through the guard's armor, rending part of their body.

Rose wants the axe

Drufle (GM)
It actually isn't a spell!

R�senfeld
"Good Lord."

Thicket
nooooo

Drufle (GM)
It's his deadly sweep ability.

Thicket
"Oh, that is a problem"

Drufle (GM)
You know, the one he can do at will whenever he wants.

R�senfeld
"We must find a way to end this soon!"

Drufle (GM)
The demon slams a pseudopod down on one of the orcs.

R�senfeld
"Thicket, if the demon is made entirely of that goo, maybe it can be molded in our favour, like the goo can?"

Rose
i have 5 good arrows left

Thicket
"Possibly"

Rose
then a lot of shite ones

Thicket
"What do you have in mind? I can throw Air or Fire at it"

Drufle (GM)
(To GM) rolling d20+9+2d6k1
(
13

R�senfeld
crazy idea
have rose touch the blob demon
cleave it with iron
AKA H.K.

Drufle (GM)
Hot damn.

H. Knight
god that is crazy

Rose
could work, but I aint getting that close to pain

Thicket
voice it in character

Drufle (GM)
The psuedopod comes down hard on Rawhide, but he raises his shield and blocks most of the damage.

R�senfeld
rose will never do it lol

Rose
nope

R�senfeld
but maybe we can throw her spit at it or something

Thicket
I'm Fae too though

Rose
i like living

Drufle (GM)
Friendly slow turns!

Thicket
I also have Iron Vulnerability

Rose
me

Thicket
maybe some of my hair would work?

R�senfeld
well let's find out if it works like that first

Rose
marking red bull

R�senfeld
make that fireball happen?
after rose's turn

Rose
rolling d20+2+2d6k1( 18 )+2+( 3 + 5 ) = 25

H. Knight
well either of you lovely ladies would be so kind as to join me then maybe we can give it a try

Thicket
Fireball or Fire Missile?

Drufle (GM)
Woooow.
Hit.

R�senfeld
uh

Thicket
its my slow turn, I'll move in closer

R�senfeld
fireball could also hit the beastman thing
which would aid us

Thicket
fireball is a big explosion

Drufle (GM)
You can triple-move on a slow turn if you don't do anything.

R�senfeld
you said you could aim behind

Thicket
it'll hit the guards if I'm not careful

Drufle (GM)
Rose, roll damage for that arrow.

Rose
rolling 3d6( 4 + 3 + 2 ) = 9

Thicket
I'll move forward and check if I am in range

R�senfeld
alright

Drufle (GM)
Right, EO away.

Rose
but i get another don't i?

Thicket
the hell is my speed

Drufle (GM)
Probably 10 tiles.

Rose
rolling d20+2+2d6k1( 3 )+2+( 1 + 6 ) = 11

Drufle (GM)
That's a miss.

Rose
damn

Thicket
alright

Drufle (GM)
Thicket?

Thicket
hmmm

Rose
3 good arrows left

Thicket
"Rose, could you come with me?"

R�senfeld
GM - quick question

Rose
nope

Thicket
"I might need your assistance down the line"

Rose
i can shoot fine from here thanks

R�senfeld
rank 0 spell usable 3 times or 4 times at power lvl 3?

Rose
and i have assisted you in the past from here fine

Drufle (GM)
4, Ruse.

Thicket
"yes but your arrows might allow us to deliver a favorable material to the demon"

Rose
so give me the material

Thicket
"My hair -might- pass on my iron problems"
sigh
can I retroactively leave some of my hair behind with Rose?

Drufle (GM)
Talking is a free action, but remember it's gotta fit into 10 seconds.

Thicket
as my Action?

Drufle (GM)
Uh, sure.

Thicket
I don't kknow if I can bleed

Drufle (GM)
Snip some leaves off and throw them on the ground.

Thicket
yeah sure
I did that
I'd leave blood if I could bleed

Drufle (GM)
Top of the round!

Rose
or i could stick my last 3 arrows in you for a second

Drufle (GM)
Who all is going fast now?

Rose
me

R�senfeld
i'll go slow

Thicket
I'd rather do that myself then have you poke me

H. Knight
what's yvonne doing

Thicket
I'll go slow again

H. Knight
HK needs a parley with her

R�senfeld
she's riding you, giggity

Thicket
actually I'm within 30 tiles

Rose
FAST

R�senfeld
no but for real tho she's on your back

Thicket
err, 20

Drufle (GM)
She's gonna try something a little weird, I think.

Thicket
I think I am in range

H. Knight
right then, talking time

Thicket
I'll go fast and throw a Fire Missile
"Experiment one, using fire"

H. Knight
will not speak in character because Fuck Capitals

Roy's Small Summon
fuck the capital

R�senfeld
just speak in character without capitals
we'll pretend it's in CamelCase

H. Knight
"Miss Lariel, I know from past experience that my companions will be attacking from afar with potent magics. I am wary of approaching further"
"is there anything you can do at this range?"

Yvonne Lariel
"Plenty! Don't worry about me pal, I think I might have an idea."

Yvonne Lariel rummages around in her bag and pulls out a piece of paper.

R�senfeld
GM - more data please, demons sensitive to Silver or was it something else?
can't remember what silver hurts

Drufle (GM)
Ghosts and skinchangeres.

R�senfeld
ah.
ty

Thicket
Demons are interdimensional horrors

Drufle (GM)
Yvonne points at the void bull and mutters some words.

Thicket
they are weak to romance novels, primarilly

R�senfeld
so my bolts are not only normal damage, they are also not iron, which doesn't help the plan

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+3+1d6( 3 )+3+( 6 ) = 12
Wow, just barely.

Thicket
HK will need to get in close with a lance

H. Knight
oh?

Thicket
reading a scroll, I think

Drufle (GM)
The void bull, swinging his axe around, suddenly seems to move in slow motion.

Thicket
nice

Rose
oooh more plusses to me?

Yvonne Lariel
"Alright, he isn't gonna be slowed for long, so let's make good use of it. See if you can lure him this way, alright?"

R�senfeld
yooohooo, mr bull man? WONK

Drufle (GM)
So, who else is going fast?

H. Knight
which way is witch way

Thicket
I will

R�senfeld
(I'm slow.)

H. Knight
I think I'm slow

R�senfeld
(how many tiles is med. range?)

Thicket
I think I'm in Long Range of the Demon

Rose
I take it no one wants me to shot the bull again? or am i attacking the blob with the fey hair?

Drufle (GM)
Medium range is 20 tiles.
Or 60 feet with the ruler.

Thicket
well then I'm definitely in range

R�senfeld
i mean, you're fairly independant usually, we can't really tell you what to do
probably the bull is more attractive to a poacher

Rose
yep

R�senfeld
head would fetch a nice price

Thicket
hold the hair for now?
I'll try to see what fire does

Rose
the hide is pretty
now its slow do i get bonuses

Drufle (GM)
No bonuses.

Thicket
the hair will be used for a combo later, I think

Drufle (GM)
He just only takes slow turns now.

Rose
why?
its marked and in my sights
slow should make it a lot easier to hit vital parts

Drufle (GM)
Oh, I mean you get the usual bonuses you would normally have.

Rose
like eyeballs
heart
etc

Drufle (GM)
Being slowed doesn't give him any penalties aside from being unable to move fast.

Thicket
I do not think your arrows could even reach its heart

Rose
so i should be able to aim better

Drufle (GM)
You can do called shots if you want, you get a bane on the roll.

Thicket
too much Bull in the way

Drufle (GM)
The void bull is about 20 feet tall.
A Big Man.

Rose
easy target

Thicket
a lot of HP though

Drufle (GM)
Thicket, were you going fast?

Thicket
yeah

R�senfeld
i'm a short-to-mid range support, damnit, I gotta get right in there. :/

H. Knight
robot needs bathroom break

Thicket
I was going to test a flame missile

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead then, Thicket.

R�senfeld
guess I'll use my slow turn to get where I need to
did you say I can somehow move 3 times?

Drufle (GM)
On a slow turn, yeah.
You can move triple your speed.
Thicket:
Will Challenge
Roll 9
not enough

R�senfeld
in one action?

Thicket
unless that thing has 9 agility

Drufle (GM)
Oof, nope.

Thicket
the Demon, by the way

R�senfeld
it's a will roll vs agility?

Drufle (GM)
Ruse: you can use your move plus an action to run.

Thicket
"..."

Drufle (GM)
Running is double move.

Thicket
yeah, Will v Agi

R�senfeld
nice

Drufle (GM)
His Agi is quite a bit higher than 9, yes.

Rose
me now?

Drufle (GM)
The flame missile bolts past his goop, searing some of the flecks flying past.
Go ahead, Rose.

Rose
rolling d20+2+2d6k1( 4 )+2+( 1 + 5 ) = 11

Wow, these city guards are totally useless.
At least the orcs managed to cleave off a bit of health.

Thicket
at least if they die, I won't have to worry about hitting them

Drufle (GM)
:P

Thicket
actually

Drufle (GM)
Demon's turn!

H. Knight
I didn;t do anything

Drufle (GM)
Oh, sorry.
Thicket:
Perception Challenge
Roll 17

Rose
wait, you worry about hitting them

Drufle (GM)
I thought you were going slow.
Go ahead then, HK.

H. Knight
I am going slow

Thicket
can I see what happens when the orc's weapons hit the demon?

H. Knight
I thought we were doing that

Drufle (GM)
No, those were the friendly fast turns.
Now the monster fast turns.

H. Knight
oh alright then
carry on

Thicket
alright, ignore my roll then
whatever

Drufle (GM)
Thicket: you can! The demon's surface seems to harden up and turn a faint gray every time they strike it.

Thicket
okay
what about their weapons?
what happens to them?

Drufle (GM)
Their weapons don't seem much worse for wear.

Thicket
okay good
"Well, good news. The ooze does not seem to consume what touches it"
R�senfeld:
Perception Challenge
Roll 10

Drufle (GM)
The demon takes a larger swipe at the orcs.

R�senfeld
how long does the effect last
on the demon

Thicket
very short, it seems

Drufle (GM)
The color/substance changing?

R�senfeld
yeah.

Drufle (GM)
A few seconds, yeah.

R�senfeld
less than 10?

Thicket
we have to act fast

Drufle (GM)
About a round, in game terms.

R�senfeld
so it has to all happen simultaneously
gotcha
thanks

Hoo boy.

Thicket
"This is what I am thinking"

R�senfeld
what do we do about bull guy while we're planning all that?

Drufle (GM)
rolling 6d6-6d3( 5 + 5 + 5 + 6 + 6 + 1 )-( 1 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 2 ) = 16

R�senfeld
holy.. what is that roll for?!

Thicket
"We use my hair to turn the demon into...fae hair"

Rose
but i would need to go sow to mark it, or i could shoot from the hip but no +'s

R�senfeld
d6's so i gues dmg?

Drufle (GM)
The pseudopod strikes Rawhide, sending him flying backwards.

Thicket
"Then we try to both hit it with iron -and- light it on fire"

H. Knight
nooo

R�senfeld
rip rawhide

Drufle (GM)
He stands back up and suddenly realizes there are people behind him.

Thicket
well dang

Rawhide
"Holy shit, it's you?!"

R�senfeld
are you shouting that thicet?

Thicket
he lived
yes I am shouting!
very loudly!

H. Knight
"I Could Say Likewise"

R�senfeld
demon intelligent enough to understand the plan? :P

Thicket
I don't think it could prevent it

Rawhide
"Honestly should have expected this, I've heard you kids have been up to some shit in the past few months."

Roy's Small Summon
like DYING

R�senfeld
"The effect doesn't last long! It'd have to all be done in the same instant."

H. Knight
"I Wasn't Present For This Latest Debacle."

Rawhide
The demon has an INT of 14, he's probably smarter than most of you.

Thicket
"We will coordinate then"
wow, rude

R�senfeld
hey

Drufle (GM)
Also, whoops.

R�senfeld
it's a creature of the void

H. Knight
rawhide the intellecual

R�senfeld
you can't expect it to be polite

Thicket
I would be surprised if it knew Common though

R�senfeld
why? it's a servant of the Shadow

Rawhide
"Well glad to have you on board, this ooze thing is an absolute bastard."

Drufle (GM)
Player slow turns!

R�senfeld
"I'll get in closer."
can I reach HK this turn?

Thicket
time to go fast?

Drufle (GM)
Easily.
He double-moved to his position, you can triple-move.

Thicket
zoom

H. Knight
"Mr. Rawhide, Please Escort Miss Lariel. I Shall Take Your Place On The Front."

R�senfeld
i still sacrifice both move and action to get to him tho right
even though I can reach much further
Rawhide nods.

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead, Ruse.

H. Knight rotates his torso and plops Yvonnne back on the ground

Drufle (GM)
VRRRRT

R�senfeld runs forward with zeal

H. Knight
"Now Then"

R�senfeld
"Yvonne, you my exchange with Thicet?"
Thicket*

Rose takes out a fist full of cheap arrows and sticks them into the dirt infront of her

R�senfeld
you herad*
heard*
my typing oh god why

Yvonne Lariel
"Uh, kind of? I've been a little busy up here, but it sounds like a good plan! How about you guys deal with the blob dude, I have an idea for the bull."

R�senfeld
"Aknowledged. We shall count on you."

Thicket
"If this works, it'll be like a tiny sun"

Rose looks at Yvonne with hatred in her eyes

Thicket
Rose I swear
what do you have against Yvonne?

R�senfeld
if you shoot Yvonne she gon' fuck you uuuup

Thicket
also that

Rose
my bull

Thicket
you can carve it later

Rose
my kill

Thicket
there's always 60 seconds after the mission is complete

R�senfeld
if you kill it, you'd do as all a favour

Thicket
you'll be fine

Rose
fine

R�senfeld
so go ahead and claim it lol

Drufle (GM)
HK, are you going to actually do anything?

H. Knight
I wa swaiting for a free moment
jeez

Drufle (GM)
Ah, ok.

H. Knight
okay

Drufle (GM)
You can interrupt!

H. Knight
"Today Is A Good Day To Die! HAVE AT THEE, FIEND!"

H. Knight charges forward

Rose
but if the blob thing fails, not my fault!

Thicket
I literally cannot miss with my fire
Fireball doesn't give a damn about accuracy

H. Knight
and STAB

Rose
but for me to mark it i have to go slow

Drufle (GM)
Stab or punch?

Rose
otherwist i get no bonuses to hitting

Thicket
we can do the combo on a slow turn

H. Knight
what did I _just_ say

Rose
ok

Drufle (GM)
Alright, stab away!

Thicket
he's using his Steel Type STAB move

Drufle (GM)
Ah, of course.

Thicket
missing is very very bad
but not the end of the world

Rose
so I'm going slow then

Thicket
because I still have hair

R�senfeld
i mean

Thicket
I'd just need to get close

R�senfeld
it kind of is the end of the world
look at these things
:)

Drufle (GM)
Missing is a pretty normal thing in this area.

H. Knight
two boons?

Drufle (GM)
Yep!

H. Knight
ok!
LANCE
Attack 23
Damage 11

Thicket
I'll go Slow, I need to get closer

H. Knight
yeahhhh

Rose starts to tie knots of fey hair to all of her avalible arrows

Drufle (GM)
Oh DAMN
Uh, add one more d6 then.

Thicket
Hair Arrows crafted

H. Knight
rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5

Drufle (GM)
16 it is!

R�senfeld
can't you use like razor leaf or something Thicket? :P

H. Knight
FRENZY PLANT

R�senfeld
16 damage is imperssive, hot damn

Thicket
I think this thing is in the air

Drufle (GM)
Your lance jams right into the demon, and you hear it gurgle and burble as the ooze hardens a bit around the lance.

Thicket
also hair is much more flamable than plant
the Good STAB

Drufle (GM)
Everyone's gone at this point, so monster Slow turn!

Thicket
oh right the round wasn't over
woops

Drufle (GM)
He's gonna take another reckless swing!

Rose
meh

R�senfeld
if the bull guy is just a really strong melee monster that's aactually good for us

Drufle (GM)
OK, one of them actually manages to duck under the axe, but the other two guards are completely demolished.

H. Knight
oh dear

Thicket
oh dear

R�senfeld
we're mostly ranged characters with one melee tan

Thicket
we only got one more turn to do this

Drufle (GM)
Top of the round!

Thicket
oh wait, are they not dead?

Rose is enjoying the carnage

Thicket
no marker

Drufle (GM)
Two of them are, let me give them the skulls.

Thicket
yikes

Drufle (GM)
Who all is going fast?

R�senfeld
plan time

Thicket
I'll go slow

Rose
I'm going slow

R�senfeld
should we all go slow
and execute it?
are we in range?

Thicket
it is plan time
I can hit with Fireball from here
but I'll move in closer anyways

R�senfeld
HK's close enough. I need to get in there and bless him though.

H. Knight
I'll wait until you all sort out this Combination Attack

Rose
is hk in my way?

H. Knight
get the Will requirements

Rose
or is the blob big enough

R�senfeld
if you're aiming at the bull, no

Drufle (GM)
The demon is massive Rose, you can easily see him.

Thicket
the demon is much larger than HK

Rose
that's ok then

R�senfeld
oh ok

Drufle (GM)
He's like a solid 30 feet tall, at the least.

R�senfeld
there you go then

Thicket
actually

R�senfeld
actually I need to get in there and give HK revelations

Thicket
that's large enough for me to just hit the top off
no one on the ground will be hit

R�senfeld
wait so rose has hair arrows?

Thicket
yeah

R�senfeld
so one side of the demon will become fire and the other will become Fey?
assuming we dont' miss

Thicket
the plan is
for Rose to make it hair-fae
then HK stab it

Rose
I'm actually enjoying looking at the missing patch of heir on her head

Thicket
then I Light the hair up

Rose
hair

Thicket
I didn't give you that much
chill

R�senfeld
then HK adds iron damage?

Thicket
I've got long hair, I'm fine

Drufle (GM)
That is the idea, as I understand it.

Thicket
the combo goes Rose->HK->Thicket

Drufle (GM)
So is everyone going to go slow turns?

R�senfeld
assuming we don't die in the fast part, can I take the first slow turn to get in there with revelation?

Rose
yes

Drufle (GM)
Alright, slow for everyone.

Thicket
the big guys have to kill what's in front of them to move forward

Drufle (GM)
Friendly fast turns, then!

Thicket
we're safe-ish for now

R�senfeld
yvonne has some plan for the bull, demon's dealing with orcs, which are apparently quite sturdy
i concur with your assessment

Drufle (GM)
Yvonne is actually going to go slow as well.
And boy I hope this works out for me.

Thicket
the Plan

Rose
and if she fails.... i'll just have to sort that out aswell

Drufle (GM)
So the orcs are gonna take some swings.

Rose
why did you have to say it!

Thicket
or else Thicket will have to spend time getting close enough to do it herself

Rose
if i miss now...

Drufle (GM)
And once again, the city guards miss, so they are actually going to use their action to retreat.

Thicket
you have...a few of those arrows right?

Rose
yep
2 good ones and a few cheap ones

Thicket
so if you miss, we postpone the plan

Drufle (GM)
Demon fast turn!
He tries to bring a pseudopod down on HK!

Rose
once ive marked it, i can go fast for a while, same bonuses

Thicket
I can only Fireball once

H. Knight
"gh!"

Drufle (GM)

Ah.

Rose
that's going to leave a mark

Thicket
lol

Rose
maybe not

Drufle (GM)
Heavy armor!!!!!!!

Thicket
that did jack shit
you need some d8s and d10s

Drufle (GM)
The massive arm comes down hard on HK, but he just kinda ignores it.

H. Knight
"Was That Supposed To Hurt, You Sack Of Filth?"

Drufle (GM)
Thicket, I don't think those exist.
I think all damage dice in this game are d6s or smaller.

Roy's Small Summon
You Stupid Idiot Blob. Come At ME

Thicket
interesting

Drufle (GM)
Alright, player slow turns!

Thicket
OKAY
ROSE

Drufle (GM)
Ruse first!

Thicket
"Fire the hair arrows!"

Rose
marking

Drufle (GM)
Or at least before HK goes.

R�senfeld
"Holy Knight, The Lord give thee REVELATION!"
I cast revelations.

Rose
aiming

H. Knight 's eyes flash

H. Knight
(so what now)

Rose
checking aim

R�senfeld
you get like on-demand boons for... lemme check how long

Thicket
measuring wind velocity

Rose
deep breath

R�senfeld
7 boons

Drufle (GM)
You get up to 14 boons, actually.

R�senfeld
oh
really?

H. Knight
hmm

Drufle (GM)
7 revelations, 2 boons each.

R�senfeld
oh right right

H. Knight
for hitting?

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.

R�senfeld
for whatever challenge roll

Drufle (GM)
But Rose has to go first.

H. Knight
cool

Drufle (GM)
In this plan.

Rose
rolling d20+2+2d6k1( 3 )+2+( 6 + 6 ) = 11

Thicket
D:

H. Knight
awww

Rose
nope

Drufle (GM)
Ohh dear.

H. Knight
should revelated rose!

Thicket
uh oh

R�senfeld
i can't reach her and you in time

Drufle (GM)
The arrow flies wide, striking a house.

Rose
i got 2 6's aswell

R�senfeld
it's 6 rounds HK

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, really.

Thicket winces

R�senfeld
no sweat

H. Knight is impassive

Rose
1 special arrow left

R�senfeld
6 rounds or until you expend aall of them

Thicket
"Okay, postpone the plan"

Drufle (GM)
Well, Thicket and HK, you can still have a go.

Thicket
I'll triple move

Rose
i hope you realised how much gold i spent on those

Thicket legs it

Drufle (GM)
You can retrieve special arrows after the battle, remember.

R�senfeld
just steal some from Ruse, he's not doing much with it

Drufle (GM)
Or during the battle if you really feel like going all the way over there.

Thicket is panting

Rose
ok

Thicket
"Okay, H.K., take some of my hair"

R�senfeld
(though if you fail a check he might be a tad upset with you.. stealing from a thief and all that)

Thicket
"If Roes misses again, we need a backup"

H. Knight
"Right"

R�senfeld
"wait!"
"lemme give that to him"
"don't want you weakened, Thicket"

Rose inspects the final special arrow for any defects

Thicket
"Its fine"
"I only need to light the bonfire"

Thicket cuts off some hair with her rapier

Drufle (GM)
Yvonne is gonna spend her turn and walk over closer to the others.

Yvonne Lariel
"Alright, step one..."

Yvonne Lariel yanks another scroll out of her bag and starts mumbling to herself.

Drufle (GM)
(To GM) rolling d20+3+d6
(
14
)+3+(

= 19

Drufle (GM)
Oh thank goodness that hit.

Thicket
phew

R�senfeld
the other guard run away?

Drufle (GM)
The void bull suddenly pops out of existence, and reappears directly in front of Yvonne.

H. Knight
yeah

Thicket
wut

R�senfeld
HOLY FRICK

Thicket
uhh
Yvonne?

H. Knight
"!!"

Drufle (GM)
His legs have been fused into the stone, melding into the street, and he ROARS.

R�senfeld
"Yvonne.. you know I trust you.. but that had better not end with us all getting cleaved to death"

Thicket
oh wow

Drufle (GM)
rolling 6d6( 4 + 2 + 3 + 1 + 6 + 2 ) = 18

R�senfeld
did you play a sound effect?!

Thicket
"Is...are its legs in the ground?"

R�senfeld
that was awesome!!!!

Yvonne Lariel
"COME AT ME SCRUB"

Rose
meh

R�senfeld
lol 'scrub'

Yvonne Lariel is sweating very nervously.

R�senfeld
is she a gamer?

Thicket
"I think you should take a step back"

Drufle (GM)
Void bull's turn!

Thicket
"As should I, for that matter"

Thicket braces herself

Drufle (GM)
Enraged, he swings his greataxe at Yvonne...

Rose focuses on the shot to come

Drufle (GM)
rolling d20+6+2d6k1( 7 )+6+( 3 + 3 ) = 16

Thicket
oh dear

Rose
bye

Drufle (GM)
The axe swings hard towards Yvonne, but suddenly a blast of energy flies out!

Rose
oh

R�senfeld
yeah i was gonna say

Thicket
freakin Psychic

R�senfeld
she was trying to make that happen lol

Thicket
freakin Psychics

Drufle (GM)

Drufle (GM)
Oh holy shit he rolled a 0

R�senfeld

Thicket

Rose

Drufle (GM)
He had to make a STR save with a bane.
And he got an actual 0.

H. Knight
woww

Thicket
wow

R�senfeld
uh

Drufle (GM)
Whelp.

R�senfeld
rip?

Rose
bye bye prize hide

Drufle (GM)
A massive shield of force suddenly appears in front of Yvonne, and as the axe impacts it the bull is sent flying backwards!
rolling 10d6 ( 5 + 1 + 6 + 5 + 2 + 1 + 3 + 5 + 5 + 3 ) = 36

Thicket
some bits of the road go with him

R�senfeld
holy fucikng shit

Rose
legs still in the ground?

R�senfeld
that damage though

H. Knight 's eye goes wide

R�senfeld
yeah does he lose his feet?

Thicket
"That was increadible!"

Drufle (GM)
His legs are torn from the feet, and he is sent flying into the steeple that had collapsed.

Thicket
oooooohohoho

R�senfeld
godamn

Thicket
beautiful

Thicket claps her hands in excitement

H. Knight
"That Was Impressive"

R�senfeld
"Yvonne.. .you are one scary woman, you know that?!"

Drufle (GM)
The bull is impaled on the steel cross, bleeding a viscous ooze, and screams out loud.

Rose enjoyes the carnage

Thicket also enjoys the carnage

Drufle (GM)
His legs removed from his body, he struggles for a few moments before falling limp.

Thicket
mutual carnage enjoyment

Rose then cries at the damage done to the would be leather

Thicket
there is so much leather, chill

Drufle (GM)
Yvonne passes out from the adrenaline.

R�senfeld
"Oh no.
"

Thicket
"One down, one to go"

R�senfeld
"Alright, it's up to us."

Rose
rose ready

Drufle (GM)
Top of the round!

Rose
again

Thicket
"Whatever happens, this will be a day to remember"

Rose
i can go fast now

R�senfeld
"Rawhide! Take yvonne back please, out of danger!"

Thicket
fire another hair arrow

Rose
rolling d20+2+2d6k1( 20 )+2+( 4 + 4 ) = 26

R�senfeld
"If she dies, I will slaughter you and all your friends."

Thicket
"Fire again!"

Rose
hit!!!!

Thicket
"Wow, a tad overzealous there, Ruse"

Rose
rolling 3d6( 3 + 2 + 6 ) = 11

R�senfeld
she makes his tea
super important relationship

Rose
and another
still with hair but a cheap one
rolling d20+2+2d6k1 ( 1 )+2+( 5 + 3 ) = 8

R�senfeld
ffs

Thicket
alright Drufle

Rose
but the first was a hit
the hair has been delivered

Drufle (GM)
Sorry, had to go take care of the dog.

R�senfeld
fair enough

Roy's Small Summon
poor dog...

Drufle (GM)
But yes, the arrow pierces the demon's goo, and the area turns a nasty greenish color.

Rose
first shot delivered and did 11 damage. the second missed

Thicket
"Yes...Yes...YES!!"

H. Knight
"Now?!"

R�senfeld
are you calling thicket nasty? :)

Thicket
"YES!! STAB IT!!"

R�senfeld
jk

Drufle (GM)
Her disconnected hair probably is.

R�senfeld
"Use your divine revelations!"

Thicket
my hair is a dark green, thank you

Drufle (GM)
Yeah you can have up to 14 boons, pal.

R�senfeld
"The lord is with you,Knight!"

Drufle (GM)
In increments of 2s.

H. Knight
so that's 4? or 6?
what's safer

R�senfeld
well

H. Knight
all of them?

R�senfeld
you use the highest, or something? right?

Drufle (GM)
Statistically speaking, boon benefits start going down around 5 or so.

R�senfeld
i dunno if you should use all of them

Thicket
use...3 revelations for 6 boons then?

Drufle (GM)
That's why even diff 500 monsters usually only have 3 or 4.

R�senfeld
yeah

Thicket
save the rest

H. Knight
ok so I'll use 3
plus the 2 I have already

Drufle (GM)
And those 6 boons are on top of your normal ones, yeah.

Thicket
extra sure

Drufle (GM)
Roll away!
H. Knight:
LANCE
Attack 16
Damage 20

Thicket
woooooo

H. Knight
hm?

R�senfeld
hit the iron part?
er
fey part?

Drufle (GM)
That's actually a little low, but I'll give it to you for cleverness.

Thicket
the entire thing is fae right now, I think

H. Knight
aww
ok
kind man

Rose
well it is weak to iron now

Drufle (GM)
The lance strikes the greenish part, and the color suddenly begins spreading across the demon.

Thicket
the green is spreading?
"Its working!"

Drufle (GM)
Bubbles begin bursting forth, oozing away.

R�senfeld prays

Thicket pulls out a seed and lights it

Drufle (GM)
The fey coloring is rapidly trying to escape the iron of the lance.

Thicket
"For good measure"

R�senfeld
"Lord.. purify this evil and return it to the Void.."

Rose is still cursing the maker of her cheap arrows, and is planning her nghtime vengance

Thicket casts Summer's Wrath (fireball)

Drufle (GM)
HK, roll your damage again, please.

H. Knight
ok

Thicket
oh wait
sorry, I'll hold

H. Knight
rolling 4d6+1( 6 + 4 + 5 + 6 )+1 = 22

R�senfeld
if he has any HP left after this, I have Wrath of God.

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead, Thicket.

Thicket
ALRIGHT
rolling 5d6 ( 2 + 5 + 3 + 5 + 5 ) = 20

Drufle (GM)
The lance crackles and strains a bit against the waves of fey power trying to push it out.

Thicket hurls the seed to the top of Demon's head

H. Knight strains to keep the lance in

Drufle (GM)
AGI save, right?

Thicket
I mean
if you want

Drufle (GM)
:P

R�senfeld
lolol

Drufle (GM)
No, I'll just give it to you.

Thicket
its really flammable now
"Burn...burn like the sun, foul creature"

Drufle (GM)
The burst of flame explodes at the demon's head, setting it ablaze.

Thicket
"Give light to those you stole it from..."

Thicket seems to be in a trance

Drufle (GM)
Rings of green and red begin waving over the ooze's surface fighting against each other as the beast is recoiling against itself.

Thicket
just watching the beauty

Rose puts down her arrows to watch

Drufle (GM)
Massive hunks of multicolored ooze fall to the ground, dissipating into nothingness.
But miraculously, it still stands, shrieking with an otherworldly sound.

Thicket
Ruse
that is your que

H. Knight
"Oh For The Love Of..."

R�senfeld
"Back to the Void with you, Abomination! The Lord has no room for your kind in His realm!"

Rose
demon in pain, what a sound

Rose smiles

R�senfeld
I use divine wrath
here
er
Wrath of God
that one

Drufle (GM)
A bolt of lightning fires from the sky seemingly from nowhere, striking the top of the demon.

Rose
WTF

Thicket
yes, more fire

R�senfeld
rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
collateral area

H. Knight is weathering all of this somehow

R�senfeld
luckily only reaches the demon

Drufle (GM)
The column of searing plasma launches ooze everywhere, as the demon's attempts to remain together finally are lost.
(it's very hard to see but theres a tiny skull and crossbones on it now)

R�senfeld eyes glint red faintly as the haunting spirit embodies the zealous rage within Rusenfeld's heart

Rose starts removing the hair nots from the arrows

Drufle (GM)
The orcs just kinda
Turn around at you guys.

H. Knight just backs off as the demon dissolves

Thicket drops to her knees as the demon falls apart, her energy fully spent

Meatscarf
"What the actual ever-loving fuck was that?!"

Thicket
"That...was amazing"

R�senfeld
"That, my friend... was Divine Intervention."

H. Knight
"That, My Friend, Was A Succesful Operation"

Rose starts polishing her bow

R�senfeld
"The New God will protect all his servants."

H. Knight
oh

Thicket
ah shit

H. Knight
this ain't good

Meatscarf
Those are just the blobs of ooze that have been slung off the main body.

H. Knight
oh ok

Thicket
oh okay

Drufle (GM)
NPCSSSSS

Thicket
COLLECT IT
go quickly

H. Knight
well we shouldn't let it sneak away

Thicket
yes exactly
the ooze is ours

Drufle (GM)
Rawhide is currently trying to wake up Yvonne, and the other orcs just take a seat, exhausted.

Rose
me wips out her knife and starts skinning the bull

Thicket
get over here first

Rose wips out her knife and starts skinning the bull

Thicket
you can't skin it from that far away

Rose
better

Drufle (GM)
Suddenly, you all see a flash of light from above you.

H. Knight looks at his lance, which is now beyond repair, pockmarked and crumpled from the demon's attempts to expel it

R�senfeld
oh no

H. Knight
"Just As Well I Didn't Pay For This"

R�senfeld looks up

Drufle (GM)
The moon above is pulsing with a strange energy, shaking and quivering with the strange violet light that had encased it for months.

Rose climbs into the carcase

Thicket pulls out the moon pearl

Thicket raises it up, examining it and the moon

R�senfeld
"Looks like we may have weakened the Shadow's hold on this realm enough to correct it."

Drufle (GM)
The moon pearl suddenly floats up into the air, and the violet light launches from the moon straight into the crystal orb.

Thicket
woah wut

Rose pokes her head out of the beasts belly

R�senfeld backs off, startle.

R�senfeld
startled*

H. Knight tenses up again

Drufle (GM)
With the death of powerful demonic creatures, the hold of the Demon Lord on the moon has finally been broken, and the Maiden's Tear has returned to its original state.

Thicket
yay?

H. Knight
ehhh

Thicket
I still have it right?

Rose
meh

H. Knight
we never actually used it while it was broke

Drufle (GM)
It drops back into your hands.

Rose climbs back out of the beast and continues skinning it

Thicket
that is true
we just carried it around

R�senfeld
Ruse'd never have used it in a hundred years

Drufle (GM)
Tsk tsk, never bothered with your magical powerful relics.

Thicket
I mean

R�senfeld
i dunno why you folks didn't though

Thicket
I was too busy playing with fire

Drufle (GM)
Actually, speaking of relics!

H. Knight
we did so well without it :P

Rose
shoting shit is more fun

R�senfeld
in this fight we did ridiculously well

Thicket
that was a good plan

R�senfeld
firstly, because yvonne is a freaking menace

Thicket
if I do say so myself
yes Yvonne is power
new respect for Yvonne
we all knew she had it in her

Drufle (GM)
You all probably unconsciously noticed the void bull's belt, but only now in the quiet of the aftermath do you realize it's kind of humming.

Rose
still my bull

H. Knight
she's prolly out of commission for a long while after this

R�senfeld
more ancient magic, drufle?

Thicket
ooooh

Rose stand protectively next to the trophy animal

R�senfeld
HK - guess it's time for Ruse to make tea for once

Drufle (GM)
I mean, someone would have to remove it to realize.

Thicket walks over and asks Rose about the belt

H. Knight
HK can also make tea

R�senfeld
"Hey, fellas.. That thing is humming"

Rose
mine

Thicket
at least put it on first

H. Knight turns to the Orcs

Thicket
figure out what it does

H. Knight
"Are You Fellows Alright?"

Thicket
maybe it lets you instantly skin Void Bulls

Rose
what is the belt made from

Rawhide
"I mean... we're alive, that's probably better than nothing?"
Meatscarf nods.

R�senfeld looks at rawhide

R�senfeld
"Might've been a bit harsh there. Apologies. Yvonne means a lot."

Rose
anyone?

Drufle (GM)
The belt is made of solid metal strands woven together, with a large buckle on the front in the shape of a hammer.

R�senfeld
hey i'm gonna cast minor heal to have her wake up

Thicket
what kind of metal?

Rose
what METAL?

R�senfeld
so neither roe or thicket can touch it?
roll perception guys lol

Rose
do i need to roll

Drufle (GM)
I mean, touch it and find out!
I doubt either of you are master blacksmiths.
Thicket:
Perception Challenge
Roll 11
examination?

R�senfeld
no but they'd recognise iron?

Thicket
I have Earth Magic now
I have Experience

Drufle (GM)
It looks an awful lot like steel, but you don't feel particularly nauseous by being near it.

Thicket
"Rose you want this belt?"
"It looks like a nice belt"

Rose
ok

Rose picks it up

R�senfeld
so, yvonne? minor heal?
she's like the smartest of us lot

Drufle (GM)
I mean, she had taken literally zero damage, she isn't hurt.

Thicket
naaaah, we'll work out the belt first

R�senfeld
i know but she's passed out

Drufle (GM)
Just highly stressed.

Thicket
it'll be fiiiine

Drufle (GM)
Alright then, I'll wake her up.

H. Knight
just give her cuddles

Rose puts it on

Yvonne Lariel
"huh what hello am i dead"

Drufle (GM)
Alright then, quick break to explain this belt.

Thicket
"How do you feel, Rose?"

R�senfeld
you obviously don't cuddle yvonne if you want to keep your arms

H. Knight
"You Saved Us All, Miss."

Rose
its rather big and wrapps around a coupke of times

R�senfeld
"No, my dear, you are not dead... you are very scary though.

Thicket is completely preoccupied with the belt to notice Yvonne

Rose
soo.....

Drufle (GM)
This is the King's Belt, a powerful physical relic that offers its wearer great strength.

Rose is wondering what happens now the belt is on

Rose
oh ysy
ysy
yay

Thicket
Rose suddenly gets huge muscles?

R�senfeld
lolol

Thicket
buff Elf

Rose
so more bonuses?

R�senfeld
you don't attack with str
do you?

Rose
thunder elf
well i could get a bigger bow

Drufle (GM)
As a passive bonus, it gives its wearer +2 to hit with melee attacks, and they can't be pushed without their consent. As an active attack, they can do a powerful slam with a melee weapon that does +2 damage per die to up to 3 targets in range, usable once per day.

R�senfeld
oh it's specifically a melee bonus belt

Thicket
seems like something for HK or Drumun

R�senfeld
so really HK would be the best fit... good luck convincing rose though

Rose
ok then. how much are the fighters willing to pay for this

Drufle (GM)
pfffft

R�senfeld
ask them?
lol
or we could just gang up on you and take it

Rose pulls out bow and sword

Rose
dare you

R�senfeld
i never made any indication i was going to

H. Knight walks up to Rose

Thicket
"Hey, you look stronger"

Thicket shuffles out of the way of HK

H. Knight
"Easy Now, Miss Rose. How Much Do You Want For It?"

Thicket
because y'know...Iron

Drufle (GM)
Don't worry, the city (or what's left of it, I suppose) is going to handsomely reward all of you once things have settled down.

Rose
how much you got. i need more arrows

Thicket
nice

R�senfeld
they better have, that was perfect execution

Drufle (GM)
Oh also, the reason this belt doesn't hurt you is because it's made of starmetal!

H. Knight
"How Does 10 gc Sound?"

Thicket
that went increadibly well

H. Knight
cool

Rose
very nice

Rose gives hk the belt

R�senfeld
dude the demon is completely malleable, that's like the most obvious weakness so far

H. Knight hands over the coin

Rose smiles

R�senfeld
and i say that fully respecting that i caught on by chance

Thicket
we used just about every power we had to break it

R�senfeld
because i'm not smart

Drufle (GM)
Alright, so we have, uh, a bit of a thing here now, in case you guys forgot.

H. Knight
"All Is To Our Benefit, In The End"

Thicket
oh RIGHT
VOTES
YAY

R�senfeld
thing?
i'm out of the loop
elaborate, please

Drufle (GM)
Oh also for those wondering, the spells Yvonne used were Fuse (from teleportation) and Arcane Retribution (from arcana).

Thicket
one moment, bathroom break

Rose skirt falls down as she forgot to put her other belt back on

Rose
woops

R�senfeld
ohhh the master path votes
i get it

H. Knight
I love that teleportation has a telefrag spell

Drufle (GM)
See, she was kind of running low on spells after defending the city for hours, so I kind of figured "hey, why not make use of the like 50 scrolls you guys found in the library and never used!"

R�senfeld
lolol

H. Knight
haha

R�senfeld
we're bad at using loot
