Drufle (GM)	Anyway, this is happening.
H. Knight	they're Dark Gnomes, basically
Sol	right
Drufle (GM)	Dark gnomes are Svirfneblin.
H. Knight	darkER gnomes Rüsenfeld coughs
Horanoven A.	the Darkest Gnomes new heavy metal band H. Knight ceases communication with the outer planes
Horanoven A.	noooo come back
Rüsenfeld	we can have a nerdening after we hve nerd things to get done
H. Knight	first of all I think Rose REALLY wants to do that tomb place now that we know what to do
Drumun	Too much ta do, too little time
Rüsenfeld	do we know what to do? Rose stops playing with her 2 core i7 cpu's
Rüsenfeld	i can't remember
Drufle (GM)	This is... Session 17.
Rose	17.??
H. Knight	or if you think we're over that, we can go straight to boating
Rose	BLOOD!!!
Rüsenfeld	i dunno let drufle recap then we'll see
H. Knight	ok blood it is
Drumun	we need to Meet the King of Red Lions
Drufle (GM)	And yeah, if you guys are done messing around in the city, we can head off to the Actual Master Arc.
Rose	but i hate the fact i fuggured out how the open the door about an hour after the session
Drumun	before it is too late
Drufle (GM)	She actually did, it was hilarious.
Drumun	I'm going to buy 2 more scrolls
H. Knight	it did cut deep didn't it
Rose	proper facepalm moment
Drufle (GM)	Right, so.
Drumun	oh shit did I not level up?
Drufle (GM)	I'll let Rose try one more INT check with a bane to suddenly have a EUREKA moment.
Drumun	we're level 7 right?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Drumun	oh noooo
Drufle (GM)	You already buffed everything, looks like.
Drumun	I forgot some fields
Drufle (GM)	You just forgot to change the number to 7.
Drumun	I'm a martial artist now? right?
Drufle (GM)	Yes. You already included your health, stat buffs, and MA abilities.
Drumun	what stats did I buff? definitely STR
Rüsenfeld	what' sam's avatar picture from?
Drufle (GM)	Looks like everything but INT.
Drumun	I'm pretty sure I had 12 Wis before...
Rüsenfeld	if you pardon the tangent
H. Knight	I drew it!
Rüsenfeld	legit????
Drufle (GM)	I'll check, Drumun.
H. Knight	yep
Rüsenfeld	DM me a fullsize link please??
H. Knight	god it ain't even done fully I'll see what I have
Rüsenfeld	awww but it looks awesome
Golurk	if you click the picture and open it in another tab it big *rightclick
Drufle (GM)	Nope, you buffed all your stats already, Drumun.
Rüsenfeld	it's not clickable for me
Drumun	okay good
Golurk	also im here
Drufle (GM)	Your current stat total is 7 above your original.
Drumun	phew
Drufle (GM)	Also, hello Golurk!
Rüsenfeld	also hi golurk
Drumun	hi golurk
Drufle (GM)	I feel like we may have lost Sam in the depths of lag.
Rose	I'm here
Golurk	im the guest dm for today and hello kids, its murder time
Rose	making coffee
Drumun	oh noooo
Drufle (GM)	Did you want to make that INT check with a bane to try and figure out the door? Or just move on? Rüsenfeld chants "int check! int check!"
Drumun	"Russ shush"
Drufle (GM)	Honestly, Golurk could probably DM some of these sessions, I've sent him an outline of the story.
Rose	well i got the answer, but i think it would be a little silly to drag everyone back
Drumun	"Let her focus"
Drufle (GM)	Alright then, onwards!
Rüsenfeld	aw
Drumun	time for terrible things to happen
Rüsenfeld	what else is new
H. Knight	do you want to know what the way in was? or will that be too tempting?
Drumun	afterwards
H. Knight	ok
Rüsenfeld	"Guess i'll get in character now"
Drumun	"Ye, that'd be best"
Drufle (GM)	So, the past few months have been pretty nasty.
Drumun	"I git the feelin this ain't gonna be pretty"
Drufle (GM)	Remember how there's, like, a blood ocean epidemic? Rose tries to find jack sparrows compas
Rüsenfeld	nope
Drumun	yep
Rüsenfeld	but now I do
Drufle (GM)	That's very much a thing. Just a few months ago, reports came back from the Blood Sea that the waters were rising. Which would be reasonable if it had any connection to the ocean. It does not.
Rose	"more blood, is it time to go swimming"
Drufle (GM)	The water has been spreading across the continent, a tide of destruction and chaos. Caecras has sent out multiple scouting groups to assess the situation. All of them have either not returned at all, or returned missing some members. Drumun is reading about this in the newspaper Rose packs swimsuit
Drufle (GM)	Scouts report that anyone who ventures below the waters never return, and that sometime, strange creatures are seen by the new shorelines. H. Knight is rubbing himself down with rust-proofing wax
Drumun	"How long till ya think they'll call fer us?"
Rose	5 mins? Rüsenfeld looks at an imaginary wrist-watch
Drufle (GM)	To try and control the situation, the Emperor has commanded the building of many "Arks", large boats to try and save as many people as possible.
Rüsenfeld	"Oh, about a minute or two"
Drumun	"I'll be nice an give them 10" "Let em sort themselves out first"
Drufle (GM)	Most of the city has actually fled to the outer lands, hoping that maybe the flood won't go too far.
Rüsenfeld	hope seems like such a dumb thing in a scenario like that
Drumun	what else do the have?
Drufle (GM)	So for the time being, the new semi-governmental organization, the Caecran Heroes Guild, has been put in charge of dealing with all the Boat Stuff.
Rose	nope, i hope to swim in blood
Drumun	cool
Rüsenfeld	uh science and the willingness to do hard and dangerous work?
Drufle (GM)	Hope is always something to hold on to, especially when you have nothing else.
Rose	"have fun with that"
Drufle (GM)	So, the group of you are standing on the deck of the new Imperial Capital Ship, the Tidecarver. Rose grabs every arrow she can see
Rüsenfeld	lol ok if i'm ever in an apocalypse i'm gonna stick to rational thought you hope as much as you need to
Drumun	ye lose hope, everything else goes with it
Drufle (GM)	Drumun's little riverboat, the...
Golurk	oh, sam, have you seen the groupshot for the pathfinder game
Drufle (GM)	What was its name, Drumun?
Drumun	I feel like I've named this before
Drufle (GM)	You did.
Rüsenfeld	The Sexy Saxoboat
Golurk	boaty mcboatface
Drufle (GM)	I wanted to see if you remember.
Rose	yes, its pretty, but i think i should be a little more brute
Drumun	something song
Golurk	aye aye
Drufle (GM)	The Sunset Song, yes.
Drumun	Yes I remembered half of it
Rüsenfeld	i guess that is pretty sexy
Drufle (GM)	It's sitting off to the left, there.
Golurk	ok guys ill be going now, bye and have fun with your MURDER DEATHS
Drufle (GM)	If you want to pan and look at that Sweet Battleship.
Rüsenfeld	cheers golurk
Drumun	see ya golurk
Rüsenfeld	take care mate :)
Drumun	"Nice ta see mah old boat again" "Its been so long..."
Rose	"have fun"
Rüsenfeld	i'm panning i don't see shit
Drumun	hold on its loading
Drufle (GM)	Pan to the left, my dude.
Rüsenfeld	look i'm zoome dout and i see the guild that's it big black area underneath it
Drufle (GM)	... The guild? You don't see a massive boat?
Drumun	pfffftahahahaha
Drufle (GM)	Ah, fuck. I forgot to move you guys to the new map.
Rose	its all black
Drumun	there we go
Rose	ah boat
Drumun	I see that off to the top left
Sol	there
Rüsenfeld	refreshed that helped
Drufle (GM)	I was wondering why you guys weren't commenting on the ship.
Drumun	it wasn't your fault Sol it was Druf's for not moving us to the actual map
H. Knight	"Why Is There A Crocodile On Deck"
Rose	its a very nice ship food
Rüsenfeld	"It's food, Holy Knight."
Rose	i shot it whist warming up
Drumun	I see we brought Thicket
Drufle (GM)	You're going to need every scrap of food you can find.
Drumun	the water is noticeably blue
Drufle (GM)	The entire guild is here, although most of them are below deck, working on construction.
H. Knight	"It Would Make More Sense To Provide It Alive"
Drufle (GM)	Crank's leading the charge in that respect.
H. Knight	"As Well As Two Of Each" good ol' crank
Rose	it wouldn't stay still
Rüsenfeld	"We're not quite this close to the end of the world, yet. Crocodile meat lasts a while. We can make jerky or something."
Drufle (GM)	So, what are the party's plans for the trip? Any specific preparations you'd like to make?
Drumun	I brought my saxophone
Rose	could i go swimming at some point?
Drumun	for the Jazz
Rüsenfeld	can I prey for some extraordinary piece of luck
Drufle (GM)	This water is still normal stuff. So you can, yes.
Rose	oh i wanted blood
Rüsenfeld	pray*
Drufle (GM)	Sure, gimme a 3d20.
Rüsenfeld	rolling 3d20( 8 + 6 + 18 ) = 32
Drufle (GM)	Nope, sorry bud.
Rüsenfeld	damn
Rose	rolling 3d20( 2 + 13 + 16 ) = 31
Drumun	the gods are silent
Rüsenfeld	it's 2 dice above 18 right?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Rüsenfeld	damnit I came close
Drufle (GM)	Anyone can make the roll, but only Ruse gets 3d20. Everyone else only gets 2d20.
Rose	oh
Drumun	rolling 2d20( 7 + 13 ) = 20
Drufle (GM)	Rose failed anyway, don't worry.
Rose	rolling 2d20( 3 + 7 ) = 10
Drumun	eh what the hell, why not?
Drufle (GM)	The gods seem quiet today. As they have been for most days.
Rüsenfeld	yes it can't hurt for you to pray to the new god too :P
Drumun	"How's this supposed to work again, Russ?" "Ah ain't gettin anything"
Rüsenfeld	"You pray, and if it is a part of The Lord's plan, he will answer."
Drumun	"Welp" "Worth a shot ah guess"
H. Knight	"You Need A Modicum Of Faith To Perform Such Acts, I Believe"
Rüsenfeld	"He will guide us with other means."
Rose	hk, what about your old war gods?
Drumun	"Ah'm gonna train a bit"
Drufle (GM)	Ol' Not-Poseidon. Rüsenfeld hands Drumun the idol of Astrid
H. Knight	"If They Are Even Alive, I Still Would Not Beseech Them"
Rüsenfeld	"I've kept this with me this entire time."
Drumun	"Wassis?" "Is this tha Orc's?"
Rose	or your genie
Rüsenfeld	"It is an image of the ascended lady Astrid."
H. Knight	"They Do Not Deserve It"
Drufle (GM)	You handed the orc's idol back, uh, a long time ago.
Rüsenfeld	did i
Drufle (GM)	At least I'm pretty sure you did?
Drumun	hence why Drumun is confused
Rüsenfeld	"Forget everything I just said, apparently I broke continuity."
Rose	lmao
Drufle (GM)	I don't have the browser power to go check the logs right now.
H. Knight	the idol vanishes in a puff of logic
Drumun	"Happens ta the best of us"
Rüsenfeld	yeah it sort of poofs and i get middle fingered by the smoke
Drumun	"Reality coulda been a bit nicer about though"
Rüsenfeld	"Logic is cold and hard." Yvonne Lariel is chatting with Thicket and Wari, making magical preparations.
Drumun	"That it is" Rüsenfeld clears his throat
Rüsenfeld	"So where are we headed again?"
H. Knight	"Miss Lariel. How Goes Preparations?" (Also druf has all of caecras been evacuated now)
Yvonne Lariel	"Good, I think. We have enough food and fresh water, between our conjurers and stocks."
Drufle (GM)	All of Caecras is either on a boat or in a different country by now.
H. Knight	where would HK's adopted family be right now
Rose	with the guild?
Drufle (GM)	Oh, the halflings? They're not in the capital ship, they'd be on one of the Traders.
H. Knight	ok I can spend my time Worrying, then
Rüsenfeld	I'm on a boat.. I'm on a boat.. Everybody look at me, cuz I'm sailing on a boat..
Drufle (GM)	A bunch of the local guilds worked together to make a small fleet of ships to carry the artisans and merchants and such. H. Knight is pacing the deck
Yvonne Lariel	"To be honest, I'm a little concerned about defenses, though." "We didn't have lots of metal for, like, cannons and stuff." Rüsenfeld hefts the crossbow
Drumun	"We got any...uh...protective magicians or somethin?"
Rüsenfeld	"We'll have to make up for that ourselves, eh."
Drumun	"Somethin to shore up that"
H. Knight	"Yes, All The Artificers In The City Have Been Tasked With Maintaining The Engines"
Rose	i have arrows
Yvonne Lariel	We have a few abjurers, but the group of us are the strongest around, so our capacity for Protection magic is kind of low. (that was definitely in quotes)
Drumun	"Ah'll do wut ah can, but ah can't do much in tha water"
Yvonne Lariel	"I mean, I don't really plan on running into pirates, but what if there are, like, blood krakens or something?" "These ships aren't the hardiest things around, you know." Rose pulls out her bow and waves it at the groop
Rose	"who needs cannons"
Drumun	"If there are any pirates out there ah imagine they'd be in need of help more than we do" Yvonne Lariel smiles and chuckles.
Yvonne Lariel	"I'm sure we'll be fine, we have the Empire's greatest fighters on board, after all." H. Knight would choke if he had a throat Rose goe3s off to find them
Drumun	"Thank ye Yvonne" Yvonne Lariel nods and goes back to working.
H. Knight	if we're attacked I hope thicket remembers to not flame on like normal
Rose	ive just seen the huge metal boat next to us
Drumun	she will not remember
Rose	can we be in that one?
Drumun	I can guarantee that
Drufle (GM)	That would be Drumun's boat.
Rose	oh
Drufle (GM)	You can hop over if you want.
Rose	its metal
H. Knight	...that#s a big boat
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, he has the best riverboat.
Drumun	wut'd ye think it'd be? Wood? Hah Imma dwarf
Rose	lol thought it may have ben stone been
H. Knight	hand-forged sailing vessel
Drumun	Ben Stone wasn't available
Rüsenfeld	nope dwerfs get like modern battleships or submarines can't really tell which one that is
H. Knight	it's a D-boat
Drufle (GM)	I think it might be meant to be a sub, honestly.
H. Knight	the D stands for Dwarf
Drufle (GM)	I would've thought it stands for Drumun.
H. Knight	that too
Rüsenfeld	D stands for Double Entendre "So do we have a target zone in mind?"
Rose	"nope"
Drufle (GM)	A... target zone?
Drumun	"Somewhere in tha blood sea, I reckon"
Drufle (GM)	Do you mean where to sail to? Rose points in a random direction
Rose	how about that way
Rüsenfeld	yes somewhere to sail to because "boat stuff" is vague
Drufle (GM)	At the moment, the Empire's plan is just to not be in the water when it arrives, but sailing to the Blood Sea would be a good idea. Track down the problem at its source, you know.
Rüsenfeld	mhm
Drufle (GM)	It's... I believe due southwest of your current location.
Rose	"onwards then"
Drumun	"Ah hope tha source of all this ain't underwater"
Rose	"thats where they went missing" "hope you like blood" it is very good for the skin you know
Rüsenfeld	"I'm pretty indifferent to blood, actually." Yvonne Lariel suddenly runs over to the party again.
Yvonne Lariel	"Hey, we just received a report back from the latest scouting party; the tide's already made it into the Caecran outer lands!"
Rose	ooooh!
Drumun	"Its going fast..." Yvonne Lariel is frantically mumbling to herself, checking a pad of paper.
Yvonne Lariel	"It's getting faster by the day, it shouldn't have gotten so close so soon..."
Drumun	"Wut do ye suppose will happen if it reaches like...an ocean or something?"
Rose	"blood thinner"
Rüsenfeld	ok ok
H. Knight	"You Would Think That After Fixing The Moon That This Wouldn't Be Happening"
Rüsenfeld	WHICH direction is the blood tide coming from? i'm super confused now
Drufle (GM)	Southwest, from the Blood Sea.
Rose	"we should probably point the boat in the direction of the blood tide"
Rüsenfeld	and that's not an ocean?
Rose	"we wouldn't want to get tipped over"
Drufle (GM)	It's the largest inland sea on the continent.
Drumun	no, its a sea
Drufle (GM)	https://3dpe.org/forum/view/174/Shadow_of_the_Demon_Lord/latest#2910 Go read the last post in this thread. Rose asks the boat crew to face the boat in the direction of the oncoming blood
Drufle (GM)	The crew nods and sets to work moving the boats as quickly as possible.
Drumun	"Boats ain't gonna work out if we can't stop this flood"
Drufle (GM)	They're currently oriented North-south, parallel to the streets, so it's not too much work to make them face the right way.
Drumun	"ye can't live on the water forever" Rose stands at the front most point of the boat and knocks and arrow
Drufle (GM)	Everyone make a PER check, please. Drumun: Perception Challenge Roll 15 PERCIEVE Rose: Perception Challenge Roll 0
Drumun	wow showoff
Rose	yes
Drufle (GM)	Is your PER really 0, Drumun? Rüsenfeld: Perception Challenge Roll 6
Drumun	yeah
Rose	i cannot be surprised. I'm elf bitch
Rüsenfeld	man fuck you roll20
Drufle (GM)	Geez.
Rüsenfeld	+3 mod and I get 6?!~ piece of shit software
Drumun	my reduced INT doens't help
Rüsenfeld	so salty rn
H. Knight	ok I forget
Drufle (GM)	Well, Rose and Drumun at least hear something very concerning.
H. Knight	do I naturallly have a PER of 12?
Rose	i got a crit
H. Knight	or is it 10+my new radio
Rüsenfeld	i'm like completely zoned out or something? am i looking at a piece of wood on the deck?
H. Knight	you just don't have Elf Ears
Rüsenfeld	yeah i'm just staring at a piece of wood
Drufle (GM)	I don't recall HK, that might be with your new boost. H. Knight: Perception Challenge Roll 21
Rüsenfeld	who cares about scary noises holy crap
Drumun	Russ is just
Rose	yessss
Drumun	left behind Perception Challenge Roll 15
Rüsenfeld	yeah i'll catch up to you when things start hurting me don't worry lol
Drumun	that was Thicket Thicket: Perception Challenge Roll 17
Drumun	better
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, while the docks are largely artificial, simply floating on a conjured little bay, you actually hear water from beyond the walls.
Drumun	Russ is really the only one who missed this
H. Knight	they conjured an entire bay?
Rose	"brace yourselves"
H. Knight	jeez
Rüsenfeld	magic is stronk
Drumun	"Here it comes"
Drufle (GM)	You can do a lot with an entire city of mages.
Rüsenfeld	"Here what comes?"
Rose	"hk, watch yourself" H. Knight braces himself Drumun grabs onto the nearest object
Rüsenfeld	i think i failed per so bad
H. Knight	"Get Behind Me, Russ"
Rüsenfeld	i should roll agi save to not get knocked over or something
H. Knight	I shall stand over you like a rock
Drufle (GM)	And then the blood tide breaches the city walls, but... it seems distinctly not like water.
H. Knight	and yvonne too
Rüsenfeld	oh god
H. Knight	well yeah it's blood
Rüsenfeld	it's a demon it's a fucking demon
Drumun	oh FUCK
Drufle (GM)	It ebbs and undulates, slipping over the walls and engulfing things as it touches them.
Rose	"YYYEEEEAAAAAA"
Drumun	"That doesn't look like water or blood"
Rüsenfeld	"Ok, -that- thing is pretty scary." "Yvonne? We should probably be doing something like moving the boat and preparing and stuff? right?"
Drufle (GM)	It crashes into the wooden quay, smashing it to pieces. Rose grabs onto nearby ropes
Rüsenfeld	oh damn that was fast
Drufle (GM)	The boats are lifted into the air on the crimson water, floating precariously.
H. Knight	.me stabs the deck with his lance and holds on Drumun focuses Qi H. Knight fucking does that
Rose	lol
Rüsenfeld	well there is an underdeck so it's not like you made a hole in the bottom Yvonne Lariel grabs onto HK's leg.
H. Knight	yeah I know Rüsenfeld grabs hold of HK's other leg I guess? Rose rides the boat like a cowgirl
Drufle (GM)	Now that the ship is in the air, you can see over the walls. As far as your eyes can see, in almost a 120 degree field, is nothing but red.
Rose	"sooo pretty" Drumun adjusts his hat
H. Knight	I really wish I'd extracted those SRW maps
Rüsenfeld	"Good Lord...."
Drumun	"Time ta get ta work"
Drufle (GM)	Drumun and Rose, being at the front of the ship, notice something else.
Rose	oh
Drufle (GM)	There's something in the waters.
Rüsenfeld	you guys ready for a goddamn demon? :D
Drumun	"Really time ta get ta work"
Drufle (GM)	Roll a PER check with 2 banes, you two.
Rose	i want to mark it Drumun: Perception Challenge Roll -3
Drufle (GM)	Pfffft.
Drumun	there it is
Rose	but i cannot be surprised?
Drumun	welcome back, my old buddy
Rüsenfeld	woooo... that -3 tho
Drufle (GM)	HEY GUYS IT'S A PONY
Rüsenfeld	hahahaha Rose: Perception Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	Rose easily sees it.
Rüsenfeld	fuck me those high rolls can i have some of your fortune pleaase and thank you
Drumun	you can have mine if you want
Drufle (GM)	It looks like... a massive pile of bones?
Rose	ELF BITCH
H. Knight	oh no
Rüsenfeld	you can keep that thing :P
Drumun	BONE PILE
H. Knight	not this thing
Rose	can i fish it out with rope?
H. Knight	DONT
Drumun	it'll come to us don't worry
Drufle (GM)	I'm giving the two of you like 10 seconds before this thing starts climbing up the boat.
Rose	mark and shoot it
Drumun	fucking Bone Machine
Drufle (GM)	Fire away, Rose.
Drumun	I am focused to all hell right now
Rüsenfeld	am I the only one that stopped looking at the beastiary?
Rose	is it within mid range or long?
H. Knight	no we just remember this one
Drufle (GM)	Mid.
Rüsenfeld	because you all have foreknowledge
H. Knight	it's AWFUL
Rüsenfeld	and I don't
Drumun	okay so, don't get knocked prone or go unconcious
Drufle (GM)	They know this one because I discussed it a long time ago.
Drumun	don't use melee
Rüsenfeld	easy peasy lol
Rose	its that other roll then per against agi
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead. With any boons you might have. Rose: Perception Challenge Roll 0
Drufle (GM)	Dango. Yeah, that's a hit alright.
Rüsenfeld	i might want to sacrifice my one cast of Total Healing to deal massive damage to that thing but i need 2 turns because i should cast revelations on myself to make sure it hits
Rose	rolling 6d6 +1( 3 + 4 + 1 + 6 + 2 + 3 )+1 = 20
H. Knight	yes
Rüsenfeld	what do you guys think?
Drumun	niiiice
Drufle (GM)	Er, Rose, you can't actually do damage yet. Remember?
Rose	i though i hit
Drufle (GM)	That action is to gain your sights on it.
Rose	no i marked it
Drufle (GM)	Your next successful shot has 3 boons and +3d6 damage. Is that not what you were doing?
Rose	oh i thought that was my midrange attack, thats why i did it
Drufle (GM)	No, that lets you take aim at something in mid range.
Rose	but thats what my mark does
Drufle (GM)	Next round, when you fire, you get 3 boons and +3d6 damage.
Rose	oh well
Drufle (GM)	Your mark is from Ranger, Take aim is from Sharpshooter.
Drumun	while she's doing that I'm going to cast Oak Hide on myself
Rüsenfeld	quick question
Rose	so i take it i cannot take a shot now?
Drumun	boost myself to 18 Def
Rüsenfeld	if my Power is 4 i can cast a rank2 spell how many times?
Drufle (GM)	You cannot, Rose. Twice, Ruse.
Rüsenfeld	that doesn't make sense.... Drumun pulls out a scroll and reads off of it
Drufle (GM)	Alright then, here comes the BONES
Rüsenfeld	wait a minute man
Drumun	*its such a good read he gets +2 def
Drufle (GM)	Yes, Ruse?
Rüsenfeld	i'm trying to adjust my sheet and i'm confused lol my power is 4 so i can cast rank 4 spells right
Drumun	1 rank 4, 2 rank 3, 3 rank 2, 4 rank 1, 5 rank 0?
Rüsenfeld	and i can cast one casting of them
Drufle (GM)	Yes, Drumun. Those numbers are correct.
Rüsenfeld	so can't i cast like 2 casts of rank 3's, and 3 of rank 2's, etc etc?
Drumun	yes
Drufle (GM)	2 of rank 2's.
Rüsenfeld	2 rank 3s AND 2 rank 2s?
Drumun	ummm
Drufle (GM)	It's not an even decrease all the way down. Actually Drumun's numbers are wrong. Now that I look at them.
Drumun	yeah don't confuse us man
Drufle (GM)	From 0 to 4, your castings are 5/2/2/1/1.
Drumun	this is why I bought scrolls also because I didn't have spells otherwise
Drufle (GM)	You can get a spell off before the bone machine arrives, Ruse. If you want to cast something. You can't hit it, though, only defensive spells for this round. You have no LOS.
Rüsenfeld	revelations but that's what I was trying to figure out how many of those I got
Drufle (GM)	2, I believe. Yeah, 2, it's a rank 2 spell. Who are you casting it on?
Rüsenfeld	me
Drufle (GM)	Alright. Anything HK wants to do to ready up?
H. Knight	I politely suggest to thicket and wari that they go belowdecks and are russ and yvonne still attached to me if not then I can move
Drufle (GM)	Righto. Thicket wants to murder some BOOOONES
Drufle (GM)	No, Thicket.
Thicket	Yes Thicket
Drufle (GM)	One character per player, ya goof.
H. Knight	we need you alive!
Thicket	fiiiiine
H. Knight	when drumun is eaten then you can come out
Drumun	I'll be fine I'm a Dodge Tank
Drufle (GM)	Yvonne will unattach herself so you can move forward, HK.
H. Knight	ok
Drumun	I'm already up to 19 def right now
Rüsenfeld	Dodge Tank lol i never heard the term beffore Darkest Dungeon Rose is preparing to shoot the bones at point blank range
Drumun	its a common RPG term
H. Knight	use the boom-boom arrows
Rose	and has focused realy hars
Drufle (GM)	The group of you hear a horrible rattling as a massive arm made of bones grabs onto the boat.
Rose	hard
Drumun	that's not inaccurate
Drufle (GM)	It actually makes it almost all the way up the boat in one round.
H. Knight	"What On Urth Is That?!"
Rose	i will be
Drufle (GM)	So let's do this properly now, fast turns!
Drumun	where is it?
Rose	FAST
Drumun	I'll go fast too I think
Rüsenfeld	do i have LOS on it now?
Drumun	aha
H. Knight	i'mmma wait
Drumun	perfect Drumun throws off his shirt
Drumun	"Its time"
Drufle (GM)	It's within Medium range of you, Ruse. Drumun transforms into Pig!Drumun
Drufle (GM)	OINK
Rüsenfeld	fast turn for me, then
Drufle (GM)	Rose, you have your whole Thing, you can go ahead. It's your normal Super Roll, but also with 3 more boons.
Rose	FIRE Blast arrow selected I'm not sure how much extra damage that is though
Rüsenfeld	you guys ready for a Revelation-insured divine smite attack?
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez, the fire too?
Rüsenfeld	rank 4 divine smite I might aadd
Drufle (GM)	That's another 3d6, but we'll roll that separately. So just fire an arrow for now.
Rüsenfeld	good luck rose!
Drumun	wooo Rose: Enchanted longbow mid range focus Attack 11 Damage 34
H. Knight	oh nooo
Rose	damn
Drufle (GM)	That would be a miss.
Drumun	but does the magic still go off?
H. Knight	even with take aim?
Rose	yes
Drufle (GM)	I mean, take aim just gives her those 3 boons.
H. Knight	daaaaaamnnnn
Rose	i will use my skill to set it off anyway
Drufle (GM)	Boons can't save a 4. The fire blast will set off, but I'm giving him a boon on the REF save.
Rose	one sec guys
Rüsenfeld	REF save?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+5+1d6( 1 )+5+( 4 ) = 10 AGI, save, and shit.
Rüsenfeld	oh reflex
Drumun	hmmm nah he's on fire dude
Drufle (GM)	Roll 3d6, Rose.
Drumun	doctors orders
Drufle (GM)	I mean, not [actually] on fire.
Rose	i have my master path skills
Drumun	still
Drufle (GM)	That's a legitimate status in this game.
Rose	the shot hits anyway
Rüsenfeld	actual on fire would pretty bad for us right now
Drufle (GM)	That's your level 10 power, Rose.
Rüsenfeld	it'd burn the boat lol
Rose	ah rolling 3d6 ( 1 + 5 + 3 ) = 9
Drufle (GM)	Level 10 is when you go from Stupidly Good to Breakably Good.
Drumun	well its something
Drufle (GM)	Oh, and. By the way. I'm just gonna list this off.
Immune to	damage from cold, disease, and poison; gaining Insanity; asleep, blinded, charmed, dazed, deafened, diseased, fatigued, frightened, immobilized, poisoned,
Drufle (GM)	stunned
Drumun	so don't Ice it
H. Knight	oh just say "everything" and be done with it
Rose	get thicket out here. she can burn it
Drufle (GM)	Basically just don't try any statuses, it'll almost certainly fail. Who else is going fast?
Rüsenfeld	me
Drufle (GM)	Ruse, I believe. Go ahead.
Rüsenfeld	i use a ta to pray for myself (that should give me Divine Strike's +1d6 I believe?) as well as a boon
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Rüsenfeld	so I'll use 3 of my revelations to give me that many more boons and I'm using divine smite, expending Total Healing
Drufle (GM)	Er, you don't need boons.
Rüsenfeld	I don't?
Drufle (GM)	It's an AOE attack.
Rüsenfeld	no no ot wrath of god divine smite the talent
Drumun	does that use a bow or bullet or something?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, Wrath of God is an AOE.
Rüsenfeld	yes the the bow i'm using the bow
Drumun	because you get Thicket arrows too then
Drufle (GM)	Oh, a bow?
Rüsenfeld	my crossbow
Drufle (GM)	Ohhh.
Rüsenfeld	i'm using Divine Smite to empower the attack
Drumun	dude that totally stacks
Drufle (GM)	Right, sorry. You get +8d6 damage to this. From divine smite, and then the other +1d6 from divine strike.
Rüsenfeld	so i need boons to make sure I hit :P
Drufle (GM)	So +9d6 if it hits. Go ahead.
Drumun	have fun I'll sit here and Dodge Tank Rüsenfeld: Agility Challenge Roll 18
Drufle (GM)	Hey, there you go.
Drumun	noice
Drufle (GM)	Roll damage.
Drumun	go nuts buddy
Rüsenfeld	11d6?
Drufle (GM)	Whatever a crossbow is plus 9d6.
Rüsenfeld	2d6 from bow crossbow*
Drufle (GM)	Sure.
Rüsenfeld	rolling 11d6( 5 + 3 + 1 + 2 + 5 + 6 + 3 + 2 + 1 + 4 + 5 ) = 37 BOOM!
Drumun	Rose has competition
Rose	yay
H. Knight	that's still only like
Rose	but i don't use magic
Drufle (GM)	Right on average, not bad.
H. Knight	1/13th of its health
Rüsenfeld	yeah i had like 3 5s in there, a 6 not bad at all
Drufle (GM)	That was...
Drumun	pretty average damage
Drufle (GM)	A little over 1/5 of its health.
H. Knight	oh cool
Drumun	oh neat
Drufle (GM)	As a searing bolt of light leaps from Ruse's crossbow and pierces the bone monster, causing it to shriek.
Drumun	"Excellent work, Russ!"
Rüsenfeld	btw, silver bolts do anything to this thing?
Drufle (GM)	Hey Drumun, roll Agi! Nope, Ruse.
Rüsenfeld	"Thank the Lord." Drumun: Agility Challenge Roll 8
H. Knight	here comes the pain
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 5 ) = 5
Drumun	pfft
Drufle (GM)	There's 5 damage for you.
Drumun	piddly
Drufle (GM)	As splinters of seared bone smash into you.
Rüsenfeld	i can do one more of those with a rank 3 spell, but i need to reload my bow
Drufle (GM)	HK, Drumun, are you going fast? Drumun gives zero shits about this splinters
Drumun	I already went
Rüsenfeld	and i probably should, in 5 rounds my revelations will die
Drumun	to Transform
Drufle (GM)	Oh, right.
Drumun	that's an action
H. Knight	is it hanging off the boat?
Drufle (GM)	At the moment, yes.
H. Knight	hmm
Rüsenfeld	btw is fighting it head on smart
H. Knight	no
Drufle (GM)	It has the Climber trait, so it is very good at sticking to things.
Rüsenfeld	i just realised maybe we should think about something else
Drumun	Why are you worried? I have Regen and healing scrolls
H. Knight	Russ, you're doing the right thing hitting it from there
Rose	like your best archer is next to it?
H. Knight	it's us in melee range that have to worry
Rüsenfeld	i am worried because I just damaged it for 37 hp and it was only a fifth of its health
Drumun	I would like to point out that if this thing knocks you down it can just kill you
Rüsenfeld	killing it would be nice prestige but maybe e can avoid the fight, it's always worth thining about
Drufle (GM)	The specifics of Flying Bones is that whenever it takes more than 10 damage from a weapon, bone splinters fly off.
Rose	but if I'm hit, I'm dead?
Drufle (GM)	Not necessarily.
Drumun	just do not drop to 0 hp around it
Drufle (GM)	I would personally put HK in front, he can armor-tank the bone splinters. And the actual attacks.
H. Knight	yeah I'll move up
Rose	i only have 39
Drumun	well, I don't actually know how much damage this thing can do yet
H. Knight	can I move there?
Drufle (GM)	Yes. That table is a lot lower than you think it is.
Drumun	but having HK between it and the elf would be nice
Drufle (GM)	Alright, monster fast turn!
H. Knight	is that all?
Rose	are you wearing your leather stuff? Drumun focuses on the monster
Rüsenfeld	so what I was saying before is we should int check it for situational weaknesses like magic and stuff it's worthwhile and if we fail we just kill it
H. Knight	yeah good
Drufle (GM)	Technically it can hit all of you, because reach, but it'll focus it's first few attacks on the Big Dude. rolling d20+5+2d6k1 ( 10 )+5+( 3 + 4 ) = 19
H. Knight	I shoulda prepared an action or something
Rüsenfeld	is INT check a free action?
Drumun	who's that against?
H. Knight	me
Drufle (GM)	HK. Yes, Ruse. rolling 4d6-4d6 ( 3 + 4 + 3 + 5 )-( 3 + 3 + 2 + 2 ) = 5 5 damage to you, my dude.
Drumun	just a scratch
H. Knight	plink
Rüsenfeld	wow
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+5+2d6k1( 3 )+5+( 3 + 3 ) = 11
Drumun	its not done yet though
Drufle (GM)	Man, I actually almost missed. rolling 4d6-4d6 ( 5 + 2 + 5 + 5 )-( 2 + 2 + 1 + 5 ) = 7 Another 7.
Drumun	hmmm
Rüsenfeld	lol the DR it's bonkers
Drumun	if you get into trouble I brought healing spells
Rose	i take it my attacks don't have the extra dice in the next round?
Drufle (GM)	And he's getting annoyed at how resilient the Big Man is, so let's throw our last attack at Drumun.
Rüsenfeld	ok so can i INT check to discover if there are magical means of hurting or even stopping this creature? H. Knight is smacked by the thing
Drufle (GM)	Rose: take aim applies to your next successful attack. So it will. If you succeed. And yes, Ruse, go ahead.
H. Knight	it's nice that way
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+5+2d6k1( 9 )+5+( 3 + 4 ) = 18 Rüsenfeld: Intellect Challenge Roll 6
Drumun	ha
Drufle (GM)	Miss on Drumun.
Drumun	HAHAHAHAHA
Rüsenfeld	damnit
Drumun	AHAHAHAHAHAHA
Rüsenfeld	why roll20
Drumun	you cannot harm me!
Drufle (GM)	Those bones are very scary, maybe don't be near them? Top of the round!
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4 I get 4 health back
Drufle (GM)	Who's going fast?
H. Knight	REMIND ME
Rose	so i would need to focus before i shoot?
H. Knight	it's one action if fast, right?
Drumun	I am Fast
Rüsenfeld	"Yvonne can you see any way of stopping this thing without brute force?"
Drufle (GM)	Yes, HK. One action or one move.
Rüsenfeld	i'll be taking a a fast action to reload my crossbow
Rose	or because i failed its still on?
H. Knight	can I prepare an action now?
Drufle (GM)	Rose: you're already take aimed, you still get the 3 boons and +3d6. Yes, HK.
Rose	oh ok FAST
Drumun	gotta go FAST
Rose	same arrows
Yvonne Lariel	"I, I, uh, I have no idea! I've never seen something like this before!"
Rose	fireball
H. Knight	ok I prepare to Defend Rose (as per Defender abilities) if the bone machine attacks her
Drufle (GM)	Good idea.
Drumun	is the in range?
H. Knight	god yes
Drumun	that's is some reach if she is Rose: Enchanted longbow mid range focus Attack 11 Damage 22
Drufle (GM)	Size 3, 3 reach. Yikes.
Rose	damnit
Drufle (GM)	That bow is just not doing you any good today.
Rüsenfeld	welp
Drumun	don't worry, you still have the focus
Rose	it was too many crits friday
Rüsenfeld	guess we have to whittle it down...
Drufle (GM)	Alright, rolling that fire damage.
Rüsenfeld	to the bones?
Rose	i used them all up
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+5( 15 )+5 = 20 He saves, so only half damage. rolling 3d6 ( 2 + 5 + 2 ) = 9 4. Anyone else going fast?
Drumun	I am Rose 's shadow is furious
Drufle (GM)	Go ahead, Boardwarf.
Rüsenfeld	i was yeah Drumun cracks his knuckles
Rüsenfeld	reloding the bow crossbow*
Drufle (GM)	Gotcha.

Drufle (GM)	Rose can minor activity to take a step back. I would highly recommend that.
Drumun	don't fall off the boat
Rose	"IM FUCKING KILLING THAT DAMN BEAST IF IT KILLS ME"
Rüsenfeld	lmao
Drufle (GM)	She's the most dextrous person on board. She'll be fine.
Rüsenfeld	5-foot step off the edge that'd be hilarious
Drumun	"That's tha fire ah remember"

Rüsenfeld	you know.. I don't know why I was worried.. you guys have insane sustain
Drufle (GM)	For Fire Blast?
Rose	yes
Rüsenfeld	i just have a tiny bit of burst
Drumun	Thicket's Will is 15 so I think that's just enough
Rüsenfeld	support ftw lol i hate support, next time i wanna pick a fighting class
H. Knight	you're a credit to the team, Ruse
Rose	pluss i got 21, so another shot?
Rüsenfeld	"I need healing"

Rose	nope, just the one amount of fire blast
Drufle (GM)	And now your take aim has run out.

Drumun	nah its fine
H. Knight	yeah she's burning through this ammo
Drumun	its doing chip damage anyways
Rüsenfeld	burning through the ammo lol

Rüsenfeld	did he just roll a 1 that's hilarious
H. Knight	normally I'd say save the ammo

Drufle (GM)	If bones had blood, he would be bloodied.
H. Knight	but bone machines warrant it
Rose	yes
Drufle (GM)	Drumun, go.
Drumun	the ammo is infinite because Thicket can replenish it Rose feels a little more satisfied now
Drufle (GM)	Punch a munch. Drumun: Strength Challenge Roll 13

Rüsenfeld	aside from like break one random bone maybe which i'm sure that thing has plenty of
H. Knight	you know I'll never write down
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I'm surprised he doesn't have resistance against piercing and slashing.
H. Knight	how many boons i have
Drufle (GM)	Good thing those distinctions don't exist in this universe.
H. Knight	until the veery last sesh
Rüsenfeld	for real maybe it's held together with sensitive pivots
Drufle (GM)	Uhhh. One sec, HK.
H. Knight	only one russ never blessed us
Drufle (GM)	Oh, with the lance. Yes, just the 1. It'd be 2 with fists.
H. Knight	im not punching this LANCE Attack 24 Damage 15
Drumun	oh, I forgot that being a Pig gave me a boon as well oh hey a CRIT
Drufle (GM)	Hit, and add another d6.
H. Knight	rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
Rüsenfeld	I'm not near enough to bless you unfortunately
Drufle (GM)	Drumun, AGI save.
Rüsenfeld	and i'm not coming closer than this Drumun: Agility Challenge Roll 7
Rüsenfeld	which is why I'm CHUNKING the FUCK out of that monster with everything I have
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
H. Knight	stop failing these
Drumun	4 damage i'm only at 6 damage chill
H. Knight	okay ' 4'
Drufle (GM)	Ruse and Yvonne are just the peanut gallery. This is great entertainment. Speaking of which, are you going fast Ruse?
Rüsenfeld	yes
Drufle (GM)	Fire away.
Rüsenfeld	prayer, divine smite expending my Wrath of God (rank 3), using my remaining 4 revelations so that's like 5 boons?
Drumun	he's making a Big Shot
Drufle (GM)	4 revelations is 8 boons.
Drumun	use some specialty ammo
Rüsenfeld	oh
Drufle (GM)	Two per, remember.
Drumun	Thicket should have given you some too
Rüsenfeld	well I can't keep 'em for much longer anyway because reloading Rose feels the power coming from the bolt and is impressed
(From H. Knight)	does this things attacks count as weapons
Drufle (GM)	So 9 boons total. Rüsenfeld: Agility Challenge Roll 20 nice
H. Knight	OOOHHH
(To Moppy)	The Bone Machine's? Are you going to make him hit himself?
Drumun	those boons look at them all its beautiful
Rose	brill
Rüsenfeld	i actually rolled with less boons than I should've before and still hit lmao
Drufle (GM)	Roll damage, plus 6d6 from divine smite.
(From H. Knight)	no I just remembered my ablative carapace. "half damage from all weapons"
Rüsenfeld	is that with the extra one from prayer?
Drumun	use a Flame Blast Bolt!
(To Moppy)	Oh nuts, you're right! Reduce all the damage you've taken by half.
Rüsenfeld	i mentioned I was ta'ing prayer right?
Drumun	for Extra Damage
Drufle (GM)	The 6d6 is from divine smite only.
Rüsenfeld	is that something I can do? I'm not close to whomever's carrying it
Drufle (GM)	Prayer is another d6.
Drumun	Thicket gave ammo to everyone
Rüsenfeld	do we all have them?
Drumun	who could use it
Drufle (GM)	Probably, yeah.
Rüsenfeld	damn I wish I'd nown before lol ok, i'll use a blast bolt
Drumun	because as far as I know there isn't a limit to how many she can make
Rüsenfeld	so with prayer that's 9d6? right?
H. Knight	"the amount of free wood on the ship"
Rüsenfeld	including the bow ddamage
Drufle (GM)	Hyes.
Rüsenfeld	rolling 9d6( 1 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 6 ) = 24 aw
Drumun	she can enchant existing bows
Rüsenfeld	that sucked
Drumun	err arrows

Rüsenfeld	oh ok
Rose	FAST
Drumun	he brought a bone to a fist fight
Drufle (GM)	Hey, let the bone man go first!
H. Knight	pfft
Rüsenfeld	32 damage isn't too bad for one turn
Drumun	rolling 1d6( 3 ) = 3 oh woops thought the round was over carry on this roll didn't happen
Rüsenfeld	lmao

Drumun	that's the regen roll now
Drufle (GM)	It would be doing so right now.
Drumun	I'm fully healed btw
Rose	its named wrong, but marked, trickery and dirty tricks
H. Knight	don;t sell yourself short Sol! you just got the weird medic role!
Drufle (GM)	I'm blaming this fight on my unreasonably bad luck.
Rose	but i don't get the +2 because its not in long range or do i?
Drufle (GM)	No, Rose.
H. Knight	still mid long range is LOOOOOONNNGGG
Drumun	bad luck? you're rolling really well
Drufle (GM)	You're actually in short range right now.
Rose	ok then
Drumun	against Drumun
H. Knight	you'd need to be on the other end of the boat
Drumun	its just he's got SO MUCH DEF
Rüsenfeld	brb Rose: Enchanted Longbow (Unmarked) Attack 18 Damage 14

Drufle (GM)	A hit.
Rose	I'm so glad i made aload of normal arrows to enchant
Rüsenfeld	hey guys maybe it should suddenly dawn on us that this thing is horrifying
Drumun	as a Mystic I don't care about Insanity anymore
Rüsenfeld	give drufle a break
Drumun	my mind is Clear
H. Knight	DON'T JINX IT
Drufle (GM)	Also I just looked it up, I should technically have a 47% chance to hit Drumun.
Rose	so thats 14 damage plus fireball
Drufle (GM)	Oh, and the Bone Machine is dead.
Drumun	wooo
Rüsenfeld	lmao what?!
H. Knight	oh good
Rose	YES
Drumun	"AHAHAHaha" Rose highfives her shaddow
Drumun	"I'd say tha went rather well, ya?"
Rüsenfeld	um ok anyway brb
H. Knight	"Oddly So".
Drumun	sorry I'm on a bit of a power trip right now H. Knight is suspicious
Drufle (GM)	As Rose's final arrow splits into the beast, the bones turn... strange.
Rose	???
Drufle (GM)	Instead of just rattling and collapsing like a normal bone machine, they dissipate into a red mist that dives back into the now-red waters.
Drumun	"Hmmmmrrr"
H. Knight	"This Does Not Bode Well At All" Rose walks away from the side of the boat
Drufle (GM)	Also, I'm totally retroactively forcing a WILL save on all of you for his horrificness.
H. Knight	damn it Sol! Drumun grabs his shirt and turns back into a normal dwarf
Rose	i just realised i didn't roll my boons
Drufle (GM)	Pffft. Everyone, roll WILL.
Drumun	whatever insanity I gain is irrelevant H. Knight: Will Challenge Roll 18 Drumun: Will Challenge Roll 9
H. Knight	STRONG LAD Rose: Will Challenge Roll 0
Drumun	oh look, 1 insanity
Rose	11
Drumun	and now its gone because Healing Trance Yvonne Lariel is very stunned.
H. Knight	you know, in all the time we had we never thought to cure some of rose's madness
Drumun	"Kinda got worried over nothin, then won, but now we got another thing ta worry about" Rose passes some plain arrow to thicket
Rose	"please" Thicket enchants more magical arrows
Rose	"thanks"
Drumun	"Those bones weren't normal"
Yvonne Lariel	(i'll just go back to the docks music for now)
Drumun	okay, Yvonne
Drufle (GM)	Says the GM
Drumun	surprise, the GM was Yvonne the entire time
Yvonne Lariel	"What... what was that?"
H. Knight	she failed her will save and now talks about background music
Rose	"bones"
Yvonne Lariel	"I've never read about such a monstrosity."
Drumun	"Some kinda pile o animated bones" Rüsenfeld: Will Challenge Roll 8
Drumun	"Didn't turn back into bones though"
Rüsenfeld	oh hey i actually failed a will save
H. Knight	"It Dissolved Into A Red Mist"
Rose	lol Perception Challenge Roll 0
H. Knight	"Which Is Very Troubling. It Means The Water Itself Can Spawn Monsters"
Drufle (GM)	I don't know how to make the waters red at the moment. So I'll just do this.
Rose	can i track the bones. whats the roll?
Drumun	"Ah have seen a lot of water in my time, an ah kin tell you that this ain't water"
H. Knight	"We Need To Re-Establish Communication With The Rest Of The Fleet"
Drufle (GM)	That was a fail, it seems.
Drumun	"Ain't any kind of liquid Ah've seen"
Rose	is it per, no bonuses to my skills
Drufle (GM)	The bones have disappeared entirely.
H. Knight	rose we can't track this
Drufle (GM)	Faded back into the ocean.
H. Knight	they disintegrated
Rose	its int not per sorry
Yvonne Lariel	"Oh, right, the other boats!" Yvonne Lariel scurries to the edge of the capital ship and looks around.
H. Knight	get on the tincan phone
Drumun	I know I shouldn't, but I'll try an Int check Intellect Challenge Roll 1
Rose	its blood, not water
Drumun	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Amazing...
Drumun	that seems about right Rüsenfeld: Intellect Challenge Roll 22
Drufle (GM)	Oh geez. Rose: Intellect Challenge Roll 0
Rüsenfeld	there you go
H. Knight	it's fuckin LCL
Drumun	Russ is the one who Knows
Drufle (GM)	Why is everyone rolling INT?
Drumun	Dunno actually
Rose	why not
Rüsenfeld	i wanted to mirror whatever everyone else waas attempting to determine
Drumun	I saw someone do it so I did
Rüsenfeld	i guess that is Nothing?
Drufle (GM)	Rose was trying to track the bone machine.
Drumun	I imagine we are studying the inner workings of the water
Drufle (GM)	Which is Literally Impossible because it is a red mist in a red sea.
Rüsenfeld	oh
Drumun	or blood or whatever
Rose	i was going to into to see if i could learn anything about the bones tracks, there are some on the side of the ship
Rüsenfeld	well what am I meant to do with that awesome int roll :/ i don't want it to waste
Rose	but i got a 16 int
Drufle (GM)	The water(?) doesn't come up too far up the side of the boat, you'd have to like climb down the side a bit to get a sample if you want.
Drumun	You know what that was not I'm sure *now
Rose	just about but i wanna hunt it
Drufle (GM)	It definitely wasn't a normal bone machine, that's for sure.
Rüsenfeld	ok step back time
Rose	it pissed me off and scratched me
Drumun	there is nothing to hunt unfortunately
Rüsenfeld	why red mist that spawns monsters big question right
Drufle (GM)	A good question!
Drumun	put that 22 into that
H. Knight	yeah that question
Rose	I'm now at the centre of the boat
Rüsenfeld	we fixed the moon, let's start thinking about fixing the Sea
Drumun	you think there is yet another artifact?
Drufle (GM)	That was a good roll Ruse, what's a question you want answered? About this particular situation.
Rüsenfeld	that's a good theory drumun lemme think
(From H. Knight)	gimme the map and I'll redden it up for ya
Rüsenfeld	where is the red mist coming from?
Drumun	water
Rüsenfeld	is that something I can ask
Drumun	it came from the water itself
(To Moppy)	It isn't actually a map, it's just a bunch of water tiles slapped together.
Rüsenfeld	i mean the entire phenomenon
Drufle (GM)	Hm...
Rüsenfeld	the water is all red
Drumun	well its not water anymore it doesn't behave like water at all
Rüsenfeld	i dunno what's a better question
Drumun	doesn't flow like it
Drufle (GM)	I mean, the direct answer to that question is probably too spoilery and definitely not anything Ruse is capable of knowing.
Rüsenfeld	i figured
Drumun	what kind of magic would create something like this?
Rüsenfeld	ooh
Drufle (GM)	My answer to that would have to just be "The red water, and probably where the red water is coming from."
Rose	"to the source"
Rüsenfeld	fuck it throw that int roll away i haven't got a good question
H. Knight	how about asking how long we have before the next wave
Drumun	dude ask what kind of magic could do this
H. Knight	pardon the pun
Drufle (GM)	Wave of monsters?
Drumun	what Are we dealing with?
H. Knight	yeah
Rüsenfeld	ok what kind of magic does this
Drufle (GM)	It's hard to tell, but you don't see any more shapes in the water at the moment.
Rüsenfeld	(hint: demons)
Rose	"should we get the crew to take us to the epicentre, there are enough brains here to figure out where it it" is
H. Knight	"But Where Do We Send The Civilian Vessels To Be Safe?"
Drumun	"Ah think the only safe place for them is next to us"
Drufle (GM)	Whatever magic could cause such a massive, worldwide event like this would have to be something on the scale of a god; demons, devils, the old gods, the new- something powerful is behind this.
Rose	with us
Drumun	"It didn't take long fer that monster to reach us"
H. Knight	true
Rose	if we leave them in open water they are not safe. with us we have numbers
Drumun	"So ah dun think it matters where on the sea they are, they'll git attacks anyways"
H. Knight	"It Would Seem So..."
Drumun	"It'd be best ta keep them near those that kin protect them" H. Knight is SO WORRIED OH MY GOD
Rüsenfeld	"This was caused by a very powerful being or a very strong source of magic.. it's probably demonic, though I can't tell for sure"
Drufle (GM)	Looking around the other ships don't seem to have been attacked; the bone machine focused on the capital ship.
H. Knight	oh phew
Drumun	iinnnnteresting Rose wants another fight. but from a distance
H. Knight	I was expecting every deck to be a battlefield
Rüsenfeld	this wasn't really a battle, it was a bone machine slaughter
Drumun	god I just realized I ended that last fight with full health
H. Knight	there's a corpse orgy sitting on drufle's ferry
Rose	i didnt
H. Knight	it's alone and sad
Rüsenfeld	uh i wasted my total heal lol
Drufle (GM)	Man, I would move us into the next part but that might take too long and also I really wanted a custom background for it.
Rüsenfeld	you can have vit burst and minor heal
H. Knight	as for me, I got to halve the damage I took
Rüsenfeld	or we could rest and i could total heal you
H. Knight	because I forgot abbout my ablative carapace
Rose	I'm game for a rest
H. Knight	same
Rüsenfeld	so are we callig it here?
Rose	i need to refocus my aim
Drumun	I can rest
Drufle (GM)	We've only been at this for two hours...
H. Knight	I'll need to repair this jacket armor
Drumun	that one fight went much faster than you expected, huh?
Rüsenfeld	you said you wanted t oprepare the next part more
Rose	but you wanted custom scenery
Rüsenfeld	it's up to you man
Drufle (GM)	Little bit.
Drumun	just a tad
Drufle (GM)	Slightly.
Rose	another bone machine?
Drufle (GM)	I mean, the next part is 100% prepared, I just don't have the art for it.
Rose	i have more arrows now
H. Knight	(memo to self: next time bring two bone machines)
Drumun	I think we'll need something other than a bone machine
Drufle (GM)	A bone machine is a diff 250 monster!
H. Knight	a literal dragon?
Rose	lets go fishing
Drumun	I heal as fast as their bones shards could hurt me
Drufle (GM)	Clearly I'll have to throw diff 500s at you now.
H. Knight	oh joy
Rose	gotta be some BIG fish in the area
Drufle (GM)	250 is too easy apparently.
H. Knight	if there's any fish they are all evil
Drumun	to be fair it was just one creature against 5 there wasn't much it could do
Drufle (GM)	Four.
H. Knight	horrible luck too
Drufle (GM)	Yvonne didn't participate, really.
Drumun	oh four
Rose	poor thing
Drumun	wrong game
Drufle (GM)	She was just kinda staring.
Rüsenfeld	well it's nice when the enemy has bad luck
Drumun	she was Amazed
Rüsenfeld	ffor once and not just me rolling 1d20 ( 7 ) = 7 my luck really sucks this session as you can see
Drumun	rolling 1d20( 16 ) = 16 hmmmm
Drufle (GM)	Alright, unless people are ready for like another 1.5-2 hours of play, we should end it here.
Drumun	yeah maybe
Rose	rolling 1d20( 3 ) = 3 same
H. Knight	nah I'm cool I have Artwork to finish
Rüsenfeld	i mean
H. Knight	deadlines to meet
Rüsenfeld	i think 2.5 hours is pretty good we got a good part done
H. Knight	Sol you need to sanctify your dice
Drumun	it was quite the high
Rose	i wanna see a mean arse ghest. my email is
H. Knight	pray to the RNG
Rose	[email protected]
H. Knight	I'll send that along to golurk
Drumun	god I actually started laughing menacingly during that too much power at once
Rose	lol
Rüsenfeld	that dodge tanking is so broken 21 def?? you're joking lol having a laugh
Drumun	no I am not joking that is Real
Drufle (GM)	Again, 47% chance of hitting.
H. Knight	the Regular Tanking is also broken
Rose	and ive finally met someone that can beat my broken dice archery
Rüsenfeld	47% + bad luck yeah
Drufle (GM)	21 Defense is not nearly as broken as you might think.
Drumun	I can get More from levels I think though I don't know when
Drufle (GM)	Alright then, let's end it here.
Rose	i cant wait till i don't need to roll to hit
Drumun	I get +1 when I finally get +1 power again but that's max level I think
Drufle (GM)	I was tentatively going to give you a level for this adventure but I think I'd rather hand it out next time.
H. Knight	yeah that's reasonable
Rüsenfeld	seems fair
Rose	why?
Drumun	yeah this was not enough effort for a level yet
H. Knight	we didn't suffer enough, rose
Rose	we were awesome
Drufle (GM)	Because this was a lot shorter and easier than I was thinking.
Drumun	this was a mook fight
Drufle (GM)	Next time, on Session 18: Things Get Weird
