Drufle (GM)
Welcome, one and all, to session 8.

Drumun
wow rude
:P

Drufle (GM)
I'm going to keep assuming I'm getting these numbers right.

Drumun
session pi

Rüsenfeld
In rul nobody has any ieda what that is so i'm not offended

Drufle (GM)
It's actually session pau.

Rüsenfeld
idea*

Horanoven A.
session ?
okay so...don't press that key

Drufle (GM)
Anyway, last time.
There was a lot of blood.

Roy is coughing up blood.

Drumun
that's pretty normal actually

Drufle (GM)
Two party members went down in a single fight thanks to a very angry goatman.

Rüsenfeld
My ears are still ringing.

Drufle (GM)
It's early in the afternoon, how's everyone doing?

Moppy
your ears are still burned off afaik

Drufle (GM)
The sun is high, the moon can be seen faded overhead.

Drumun
I am doing increadibly well at the moment

Rüsenfeld
My inner ears are still drinking
that is, ringing

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, Drumun/Wari hardly got hit and Rose is entirely unscathed.

Rüsenfeld
i said 'drinking' because iam going to attempt to get drunk duing the session

Drufle (GM)
You fool!

Wari
I got hit but I got helthed

Rüsenfeld
mwahaha

Drumun
drink the pain away

Drufle (GM)
Oh right you got healed.
So, youve just murdered a small platoon of fomors, what now?

Drumun
I got healed too, but I didn't take much damage in teh first place
uhh

Wari
I have 9 damage

Roy
"Is everyone okay? I'm not." I shout

Wari
also we should DEFINITELY go back

Drumun
"Ah'm okay"

Rüsenfeld
agreed

Drumun
can we afford to go back?

Wari
"Yeah, that was shit."

Rüsenfeld
except that that could trigger downtime?

Drumun
are we on a time crunch?
Russ, I don't think we'll rest long enough

Rüsenfeld
if we want to go back to heal we kind have to

Drufle (GM)
Downtime only happens between levels.
Not every time you rest.

Rüsenfeld
oh ok

Wari
I meant more in the sense of "swap out dudes"

Drumun
good luck getting work in 2 days

Wari
Sol if ever there was a time to use your nice new character, it's now

Rüsenfeld
god.. if i'm swapping out then drufle and i need to talk
i mean i agree with you

Drumun
Drumun will see this through

Drufle (GM)
I mean, there is a sliiiiight issue with this idea.
In that almost none of our spare characters have pogs.

Drumun
damn

Rüsenfeld
big woop give them letters

Roy
also its kind of like
cheating

Rüsenfeld
that is more of a problem

Drufle (GM)
It is a little cheaty to change mid-level, yes.

Wari
well
do you want to die that badly?

Drumun
we only need a few days to heal up
and we shouldn't need to do so again?

Rüsenfeld
can we sneak a peak in the house
someone sneaky maybe

Drumun
I shall sneak

Rüsenfeld
peek*

Drumun
rolling 1d20 + 1 + 1d6k1( 8 )+1+( 4 ) = 13

Roy slumps down behind a rock.

Drumun
sneaky enough
I also focus Qi for extra move speed
just in case

Rüsenfeld
people who need heals please gather 'round

Drumun
oh right lets heal first

Rüsenfeld
'rond roy actually

Drumun
okay

Rose
what is the stealth roll again?

Drumun
Agi

Rose
ok
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 0d6k1 ( 20 )+2+() = 22

Drufle (GM)
Oh.

Rose turns invisible again

Drumun
looks like we're sneaking

Drufle (GM)
What is with you and nat 20 stealth rolls?

Rüsenfeld
i can only give you all minor heals

Drumun
I'm okay with this

Rüsenfeld
which is half rate
i've got exactly three of those

Drumun
I only have 4 damage
prioritize those that need it

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, I'm not sure if Drumun needs the healing that badly.

Rose skips over the bodies

Drumun
4 damage out of 31 health
I'll be okay

Rüsenfeld
how's Wari's health? shoul I do 2 roy 1 wari?

Wari
I have 9 damage

Drumun sneaks quickly with Rose

Wari
so not so bad
28 HP

Rüsenfeld
alright that's acceptable

Drufle (GM)
Shouldn't you heal yourself a bit?

Rüsenfeld
nope
i have half my health

Drufle (GM)
Well alright then.

Rüsenfeld
it's as good as it's gonna get

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead and heal.

Drumun
I mean healing won't save you from another fireball

Drufle (GM)
Meanwhile, in the house.

Rüsenfeld
I cast all my minor heals - 2 on roy, and 1 on wari
roy heal full rate, wari half

Drumun
can I use my nose?

Rose
"ooh!"

Drumun
"Shhh"

Roy
i use spell recovery to get a casting of conjure medium monster

Drufle (GM)
The inside of the house is covered in blood and other nasty matter, although no bodies can be seen.

Rose just jumps in the puddle of blood like a kid in rain

Drumun
rolling 1d20 + 0 + 1d6k1( 19 )+0+( 3 ) = 22

Rüsenfeld
you smell ALL the blood and gore

Drumun lifts his nose and smells around

Rüsenfeld
how disgusting

Drumun
I will track whatever the hell is going on

Drufle (GM)
Yeah bro it's really rough trying to smell anything in here.
Because everything smells of iron and waste.

Drumun
I got a 22
so it all just iron and blood eh?

Rose
rolling perception too

Drufle (GM)
Smell-wise, yeah.

Drumun
darn

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

Drumun
too busy playing in the blood

Drufle (GM)
Rose trips into the pool of blood while trying to listen.

Drumun peaks around the corner

Drumun
maybe my eyes will do better

Rose
splash

Rüsenfeld
ew

Drumun glances over at Rose

Rose
"what?"

Drumun
this is honestly not the wierdest thing he's seen

Drufle (GM)
A rickety staircase leads upstairs to a second floor; looking above, you can see the roof of the second floor has been destroyed and sunlight beams through.

Rüsenfeld
up top, there be demons

Drufle (GM)
A thin cackle can be heard from above.

Rüsenfeld
I'm 100% certain

Drumun
"..."
we're still sneaky?

Drufle (GM)
Yep.

Drumun
alright

Rüsenfeld
void caller carrying anything interesting roy?

Drumun
I'll peak upstairs
try not to get spotted

Drufle (GM)
Oh, I should check what these guys carry.

Drumun
oh right, you guys loot the dead

Roy
ill perception
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 0d6k1 ( 1 )+2+() = 3

Rüsenfeld
shit

Drufle (GM)
There's goat hair!
Lots of goat hair.

Drumun peaks over the top of the staircase

Rüsenfeld
exclaim that so I could have an excuse to get a better look

Roy
can i just take 10

Drufle (GM)
Yeah.
I mean, in the sense that you can keep looking.

Roy
"There's so much hair here."

Drufle (GM)
You can't actually take 10 in this game that'd be overpowered.

Roy
"And other stuff too."

Rose looks above the top of the stairs

Rüsenfeld
oh rolling repeatedly is a thing?

Drufle (GM)
All of the fomors carry spears, while the warrior has a battleaxe.

Rose
rolling 1d20 + 1 + 1d6k1( 19 )+1+( 2 ) = 22

Roy
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 0d6k1( 19 )+2+() = 21

Rüsenfeld
"Hmm.'

Drumun
rolling 1d20 + 0 + 0d6k1( 1 )+0+() = 1
I see jack shit

Drufle (GM)
They wear light leather armor, but the void caller wears nothing.

Drumun
I'm too short

Rüsenfeld
h's nuuuuude?

Drufle (GM)
He was only holding his skull-topped staff, along with some charms and stuff tied to his fur.

Drumun
that seems rather obvious

Rose
what's going on upstairs?

Drumun
what would the charms sell for?

Rüsenfeld
is that staff powerless without the voidcaller?

Drumun
the staff is probably just a spell caster's implement

Drufle (GM)
Considering that the charms are fur, bone, and various organs, I would imagine not much.

Rüsenfeld
also maybe we should take some bits for proof of completing this job

Wari
oh yeah

Drumun
the head of a fomor

Wari
take his head

Drufle (GM)
And yeah, the staff is just a staff.
Not much without a caster to use it.

Drumun
the staff might sell for something

Rüsenfeld
"Wari, can you cut one of this voidcaller's horns?"

Drufle (GM)
Now I know there's a direct vision key somewhere...
I don't remember what the button is though.

Wari
"Yeah, sure"

Rüsenfeld coughs and splutters a bit

Drufle (GM)
Gimme a sec to find this button.

Rüsenfeld
"We best at least attempt to get recompense for this endeavor.
"

Wari
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 0d6k1( 1 )+2+() = 3

Roy
"Doing some carving over there? Why am I not invited?"

Drufle (GM)
You guys are getting a lot of 1s.

Wari tries pulling the horn off, to no avail

Wari
"oh whatever!"

Drufle (GM)
Ah, here we go.

Drumun
let roy try

Wari
ok

Drufle (GM)
Did that work?

Wari
did what work

Drufle (GM)
I guess not.

Drumun
I'm guessing this is a question for Rose

Rüsenfeld
"Um. I meant with your axe? Maybe roy should try..."

Wari
AXE TIME

Drufle (GM)
No, if I'm doing this right, everyone's vision should snap over to the other area.

Roy
what should i roll

Wari
oh no
it did not

Drumun
I see a thing

Wari
aha

Drumun
there we go

Roy
it worked

Wari
I see a stairs

Drufle (GM)
Right.
This is the stairs to the second floor.

Rüsenfeld
i see a bunch of rectangles
but i'll give you the benefit of the doubt

Drufle (GM)
There's cackling coming from this direction.

Wari
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 1d6k1( 19 )+2+( 5 ) = 26

Rüsenfeld
is it me laughing at my own jokes?

Drufle (GM)
No, unfortunately.

Wari lops off the entire bloody head

Wari
oh btw
rose rolled high for pereception a while ago

Rüsenfeld
i mean i'd imagine you would just aim really well and get a really clean cut

Wari
what did she see?

Drufle (GM)
Upstairs? You don't see much on the landing itself.

Drumun
Rose rolled a 19 I think
and is peaking over

Drufle (GM)
The upstairs is cleaner, with only a single blood trail leading into the corner of the floor.

Rose follows the trail

Drufle (GM)
The roof, as mentioned earlier, was destroyed through some sort of explosion.

Drumun
whisper "What ye see?"

Drufle (GM)
Rubble and timber sits around the room.

Rose
which way is this trail?

Drufle (GM)
Thataway.

Rüsenfeld
remember sneaing isn't infallible

Rose
"not much, smells good though!"

Rüsenfeld
sneaking*

Drumun
"Mind yer volume, lass"

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, they can always roll per against your stealth.
Albeit with banes.

Drumun
that's a thing

Rüsenfeld
that there does not look like fun

Drumun
deeeemon?

Drufle (GM)
At the end of the hall, a bizarre insectoid beast is hunched over, cackling to itself.

Rose
i'm gonnna shoot it

Drufle (GM)
The walls around it are covered in odd runes painted in blood and fecal matter.

Drumun
sound like he's having a good time

Rüsenfeld
oh god

Drumun sees the creature and turns around

Drumun
nope

Rüsenfeld
run
leave her there
lol

Rose
"running off, dwarf?"

Drumun
"we best not fight without tha others"

Drufle (GM)
No do it, it'd be hilarious.

Rose
ok!

Drumun
I'm going to make an int roll
also my Qi is focused so I can actually run
rolling 1d20 + -2 + 0d6k1 ( 9 )+-2+() = 7

Rüsenfeld
if ou're smart enough, you run ?

Drufle (GM)
Man, characters with no sense of self-preservation are the best.

Rüsenfeld
ahahaha

Drumun
okay nvm I don't know what that is

Drufle (GM)
Also I think you might be too far to shoot it anyways.

Rose
hundred tiles for longbow?

Drumun
it looks terrifying so I'm leaving it alone

Drufle (GM)
I'll have to go check.

Drumun
"Elf, what're you doin?"

Rose
"dinner, hopefully"

Rüsenfeld
pffffff

Drufle (GM)
Long range, so yeah you can definitely hit it from here.

Rüsenfeld
+1

Drumun
"Do ye even know what that is?"

Rose
"don't care right now. Will care later."
marking the thing

Drumun
"Ah'm goin to get the others then"

Drufle (GM)
It isn't a foot to a tile, by the way, it's 5 ft per tile.

Drumun slinks back down the stairs

Rüsenfeld
didn't we decide they aer yard per tile?

Roy
"What's happening?"

Rüsenfeld
to make it easier to count range?

Rose
trickery too

Drufle (GM)
It's a yard per tile, yeah.

Drumun
isn't it 3 ft per tile?

Rüsenfeld
well that's 3 feet

Drufle (GM)
But the grid here isn't by 3 feet.
It's by the basic 5 feet.

Drumun
"Rose found a creature and is about to shoot it"

Drufle (GM)
So when you use the ruler you have to keep that in mind.

Rüsenfeld
i know, just making surei 'm al lclear on it

Drumun
"We need ta get the others"
did Ruse use his bless yet?
I don't think he did

Rüsenfeld
yeah earlier
but i have more
i have 2 more
or if i didn't
3 more

Drumun
combat starts I assume

Rüsenfeld
power 2, mothaafucka

Drufle (GM)
It starts whenever she fires the bow.

Drumun
so now we're limited by out move speed

Rüsenfeld
quick
make a run for it
before she fires

Drumun
she's reeeeally pulling that string back

Rose
working out boons

Rüsenfeld
drufle how much distance will you let him cover before she fires
if any?

Drumun
I can move 12 right now

Drufle (GM)
I'll give him and Roy two rounds before she fires.

Rüsenfeld
I'm still here inspecting this horn

Drumun
"Russ, Wari!"

Rose
boy i'm about to do it

Drumun
"Rose is doin somethin stupid"

Rüsenfeld
"What?"

Rose
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 1d6k1( 8 )+2+( 1 ) = 11

Drumun
"Creature upstairs, she's about to attack it"

Drufle (GM)
A miss!

Rüsenfeld
fuck that's not a good start

Drumun
rip rose

Drufle (GM)
The beast whips around as the arrow flies over its head.

Rose
I only used 1 boon, is that ok?

Drufle (GM)
You couldn't hit it with that roll anyway.

Drumun
oh dear

Roy
"Should we wait for her down here

Drumun
it has a ton of defense then

Roy
or go to her up there?"

Rüsenfeld
"I'm going in." when it's my turn anyway

Rose
"well damnit"

Drumun
"Ah mean...I dunno how long she kin last"

Rüsenfeld
"She might be a bloody fool but she's our cmorade."

Drufle (GM)
The beast has no head, but rather a face on its carapaced chest. Numerous spindly legs and arms jut out of its thorax in multiple places, and it clacks its mandibles wildly.

Rüsenfeld
was that arrow fire in the surprise round?

Drufle (GM)
A strange blue crystal is grasped in one of its claws.

Drumun
oh shit that is def a demon

Drufle (GM)
That was the surprise round, yes.
And boy, that demon sure is horrifying!

Drumun
hurrah

Rüsenfeld
of course it is.

Rose
rolling will?

Drufle (GM)
Yep.

Rose
boons?

Drufle (GM)
None.

Drumun
"It's upstairs then"

Drufle (GM)
Unless you naturally have insanity-boosting boons.

Drumun
"If we're to help her then we gotta hurry"

Rose
nope

Rüsenfeld
before you do hurry,

Rose
rolling 1d20 + 1 + 0d6k1( 2 )+1+() = 3

Rüsenfeld
i might be able to shared recovery at you

Drumun
"Unless she wisened up while I was gone"

Drufle (GM)
+1 insanity!

Rüsenfeld
in a slow turn
unless i used it

Rose is maybe thinking this wasn't such a good idea

Drumun
I think you use it

Drufle (GM)
You are frightened for 1 round!

Rose
???

Drufle (GM)
Which means you can only act in slow turns, and get 1 bane on every roll.

Drumun
actually wait...I think you used Healling burst

Rüsenfeld
vitality burst yes

Roy
"Can we set a trap for it here?"

Rüsenfeld
so i can still give yo SOME health
with shared recovery

Drumun
"That might be a good idea"

Rüsenfeld
but i think it's short range

Drumun
I only have 4 damage

Drufle (GM)
Anyway, fast turns!
Who other than Rose would like to go fast?

Rüsenfeld
i have about half myh ealth in damage

Drumun
okay who's goin fast

Rüsenfeld
and waas only able to give roy her heal rate

Drumun
you two should definitely heal

Roy
i have half health too

Rüsenfeld
i can give us our heal rte again
but only one of you

Drumun
any little bit would help now

Rüsenfeld
so roy or wari

Drumun
heal roy, me an Wari are much bulkier

Rüsenfeld
mopp? do you agree with this?

Drumun
Russ you should probably call to Roy in character

Rüsenfeld
"Wait, Roy, I shall heal us."
I'll take a slow turn to do this
so i can move also

Wari
yah im fine

Rüsenfeld
she's still in shrot range right?

Drumun
"While yer doin that, Ah'll head back up"
she looks pretty close

Rüsenfeld
"See if you can convince the elf to run back down."

Roy coughs up some blood again.

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, everyone is within short range of you, Ruse.

Drumun
"Ah'll see what I kin do"

Drufle (GM)
Aside from Rose, obviously.

Roy
"Yes please, use your magic on me."

Rüsenfeld
yeah but screw rose

Drumun
I'll take a fast turn then to get running

Rüsenfeld
she's still with full hp
you're taking slow as well, roy?

Drufle (GM)
So is anyone going fast?

Roy
yeah sure

Rüsenfeld
you can take fast if you don't move

Drumun
I'll go fast

Drufle (GM)
Go ahead then.

Drumun
is Sprint an option here?
I need phone service
I mean I need to go fast

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, you can rush.
Rush is an action to double-move.

Drumun
ah good
24 tiles

Drufle (GM)
Have a run.

Drumun
that puts me here

Drumun Drumun zooms off

Drumun
woops
ya'll know what I meant

Drufle (GM)
:P
Demon fast turn!
HELLO

Rüsenfeld
WOOSH

Drumun
oh shit its fast

Rose
huh

Roy
it can do that void thing probably

Drufle (GM)
The beast suddenly launches itself across the room, staring Rose in the face.

Rüsenfeld
oh right
or not

Roy
oh no it doesnt

Drufle (GM)
Slow turns!

Roy
just fast

Drumun
I think this one has a different ability set
oh it sprinted

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, he has 18 base speed.

Rüsenfeld
I use shared recovery on me and roy

Drumun
good god
are you a fan of death, Rose?

Drufle (GM)
So there is effectively no chance of running away, unfortunately.

Rose
Yes I Am

Rüsenfeld
hm

Drumun
kneecap it!

Rüsenfeld
drumun did not have a means of informing us of this speed

Drumun
no I don't know its that fast yet

Rüsenfeld
shit

Drumun
I'm still downstairs

Rüsenfeld
we're downstairs waiting to set a damn trap

Roy
"Am I understanding right that there's a demon upstairs?"

Drumun
can I shout?
to Rose?

Drufle (GM)
On your turn, yes.

Rose
stabbing the demon

Drumun
damn it

Drufle (GM)
Stab away!
And godspeed.

Drumun
I guess now is time to learn the hard way

Drufle (GM)
This guy is a motherfucker.

Rüsenfeld
"Well there 's a creature up there. I have to imagine if it's not a damn goat it's probably a servant of the Shadow."

Drumun
you don't fuck with demons

Rose
using trickery and backstab (plus the mark)

Drufle (GM)
Yep.

Drumun
backstab it...IN THE FACE

Rüsenfeld
unortunately it looks like rose is a problem character.. should make thigns interesting if she doesn't die here

Drumun
fear knocks one of the boons off though

Rose
rolling 1d20 + 1 + 1d6k1( 15 )+1+( 3 ) = 19

Drumun
every group needs one of those

Drufle (GM)
Holy crap a hit.

Rose knifes the demon somewhere soft

Rose
rolling 3d6 + 0( 4 + 1 + 3 )+0 = 8

Drumun
what spills out I wonder

Roy
mayo

Drufle (GM)
Oof, not the best roll.

Wari
too right

Drufle (GM)
A sickening green ooze drips out of the wound, floating in mid air as it leaks out.

Drumun
oh

Rüsenfeld
floatin blood.

Drumun
alien blood

Rüsenfeld
that's just what we needed.

Drufle (GM)
So are you going to move now, Rose?
Because you can.

Drumun
I bet its poisonous

Rose
I can?

Drufle (GM)
I mean this is a slow turn.

Drumun
can she use a triggered action to step back?
and not get AoOd

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, that's probably wise.

Rüsenfeld
wait you CAN?
you have told me multiple times that a ta is an action

Drumun
the 1 yard step

Rüsenfeld
and expends the action of a slow turn

Rose
what about nimble recovery?

Drumun
its a ta to use an action as a ta
or something like that

Drufle (GM)
Well, no, some things can be done as either an action or a t-action.
Not everything though.
And yeah, you could nimble recovery, but that would kinda be a waste.
Wait, no you can't, that's an action.

Drumun
you're unharmed at the moment

Drufle (GM)
You already used your action.

Rose
so I can only make a backstep?

Drufle (GM)
Just t-action to step away and then use your move action to run downstairs.
Or whatever you'd like to do.

Rose
alright
though

Rüsenfeld
what is the trigger if you use a t-action like that? or do you just expend the t-a and step regardless?

Rose
can I vault over the stairwell so I don't have to use up movement tiles to go around?

Drumun
it means you can't use a reaction in between rounds because you made the step
like your Prayer can be used as a t-action

Rüsenfeld
i didn't even know reactions were a thing...

Drumun
but if you made the 1 yard step you can't prayer

Rüsenfeld
ok i can grok that i think
sorry, do go on

Drumun
which side is the top of the stairs actually

Rose
Paging the GM

Rüsenfeld
bottom

Drumun
did Drufle fall asleep?

Rüsenfeld
recall you coming up stairs from the top of the stairs below

Drufle (GM)
Hi, I'm here again.

Drumun
he awakes!
hazzah

Drufle (GM)
That thing I'm marking is the top of the stairs.

Drumun
oh so the top is south

Rose
ok so can I jump over the top end?

Drufle (GM)
Give me an agi check with a boon.

Rose
ok

Roy
Let's trip it when it coming down the stairs

Rose
rolling 1d20 + 2 + 1d6k1( 6 )+2+( 1 ) = 9

Roy
it's

Drufle (GM)
Whelp.

Drumun
oh no
she doesn't make it

Drufle (GM)
Rose jumps over the bannister and falls flat on her face on the stairs.

Drumun
can I see her now?

Rose
whoops

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, you can.

Drumun
"Rose! What're you doin?"

Rüsenfeld
is she prone now?

Drumun
"Ye need ta get back ta the others"

Drufle (GM)
No, I won't make her prone.

Rose
"just (augh) stabbing demons! you?"

Drufle (GM)
rolling 1d6( 5 ) = 5
I will make her take 5 damage though.

Drumun
"That was a demon!?"

Rüsenfeld
ouch

Rose rubs her nose in pain

Drumun
"Why'd ya fight it?"

Rose
"well..."

Drufle (GM)
Other slow turns, you guys can get going.

Drumun
"Can ye still run after a fall like that?"

Rüsenfeld
ok so what was i doing..
i didn't move
so presumably that's what i'm doing?

Rose
"I'm an elf, bitch"

Drumun
you wanted to heal Roy

Roy shouts into the house

Rüsenfeld
yes so that's my action

Rose
"and a dancer, I can handle worse."

Drumun
sigh "Ah'll take that as a yes"

Roy
"Do you require some assistance in there?"

Drumun
shouting to Roy "Its a demon!"

Rüsenfeld
i still have a move

Drumun
get in here russ

Rüsenfeld
"That is what I feared."
uh..
lemme just reember my speed

Drumun
probably 10

Roy
brb

Drumun
yeah I need to brb for a sec

Rüsenfeld
i move here

Rose
I'll go too

Drufle (GM)
Righto.

Rüsenfeld
AFTER shared recoverying at me and roy

Wari
I think me as well

Rüsenfeld
y'all synchronise your bladders or something?

Drufle (GM)
Yeah is everyone ok?
If I knew everyone was going to simultaneously leave at the same time I would've ran off now.

Rüsenfeld
lol

Drumun
I'm back
too late druf
yer stuck here

Rüsenfeld
he already ent!~
went*

Drumun
:P

Drufle (GM)
Well, we're only waiting for Wari and Roy now.

Rüsenfeld
and me
sorry
brb

Drumun
when one goes, they all go

Drufle (GM)
I mean, you already took your turn.
So we don't need to wait for Ruse.

Rüsenfeld
i thought you'd sy i can't move
because i already took my turn
that would've been a funny joke

Drumun
can 18 speed get this demon downstairs without going over the railing?

Drufle (GM)
It gets him about 2/3 of the way down the stairs.

Drumun
oh boy

Roy
im back
discussing stair logistics, i see

Drufle (GM)
Did you mark down your healing?

Roy
yes

Drufle (GM)
Good.
You can take your slow turn now, then.

Drumun
join us roy
for this bloodbath

Roy
i summon two small monsters with my conjure medium monster
whats the maximum distance

Drufle (GM)
Medium range.
So 20 tiles.
Should I put them at max distance?

Roy
yes
"Return to this plane, Shards of Carcosa. I need you once more"

Drumun
can't they move immediately as well?

Wari
alright I'm here

Drufle (GM)
Action or move.

Drumun
welcome back wari

Wari
"Wait for me you assholes!"

Drumun
pffft
"We are!"

Rüsenfeld
she's so sure she wants to be part of this action

Drumun
Wari's first demon

Rüsenfeld
that demon's gonna kick our arses

Roy
"They're that way."

Drufle (GM)
You can move triple your speed if you don't use an action.

Drumun
gotta go Fast

Roy points

Wari
surely that must be "do use"

Drumun
yes pls
join the madness

Wari
I want to move further cuz
well
" move further but"
if I do
the demon will teleportal or rush past us
and eat roy whole

Rüsenfeld
lol teleportal

Drufle (GM)
MUNCH

Drumun
I'm not sure it can do that
and would Wari think of that?
he's never seen a teleporting demon

Wari
she wouldn't

Rüsenfeld
she*

Drumun
*she

Wari
here then

Drufle (GM)
Righto.

Rüsenfeld
hello dwarf friend

Drumun
I think we're going to need that blass

Drufle (GM)
Top of the round! Rose is no longer frightened.
Who wants to go fast?

Rüsenfeld
i do

Roy
i go, fast

Drumun
should we gather around Russ?

Rose
ME

Drumun
get that blessing?

Rüsenfeld
oh wait
humhumhum..
yeah slow

Drumun
slow?

Rüsenfeld
me, i go slow

Drufle (GM)
Blessing is touch-range, remember.

Roy
i move here, peeking around the corner

Rose scrambles behing everyone else

Rüsenfeld
if rose has amazing sniper damage i could give her revelations

Drumun
I'll move next to Russ

Rüsenfeld
if she's inclined to pop next to me at some point
that is also touch range
incidentally

Drumun
maybe bless first

Rüsenfeld
yeah ok

Drumun
for the frontliners

Rüsenfeld
are ya'll going fast?

Roy
the shards take slow turns

Drumun
I did to get next to you

Rüsenfeld
hm

Rose
never bless me

Rüsenfeld
well can i jsut take a fast turn AFTER them, drufle? there's no real reason for me to go slow

Drufle (GM)
I mean, yeah.

Roy
"Now, children. Wait for the monster to come down and teach it a lesson."

Drufle (GM)
There isn't exactly an established order for player/monster turns.
That's kind of the point.

Rüsenfeld
ok cool

Drumun
we move in whatever order we please really

Rüsenfeld
i fast turn to bless these folks around e
me

Drumun
alright
maybe we'll be able to punch something

Rüsenfeld
does that leave me with 1 or 2 more blesse?

Wari
bless'd!

Drumun
and not get punched mush

Rüsenfeld
i mean did i use one last week?

Drumun
I don't think you blessed during the fomor fight

Drufle (GM)
I don't believe you did.

Rüsenfeld
2 more then

Drumun
we didn't think we needed it for fomors

Drufle (GM)
You were going to and then everyone was far away.

Rüsenfeld
lol.. we didn't think

Drumun
I mean i'm not sure it would've saved you

Drufle (GM)
So, what's everyone else doing?

Drumun
from fire

Drufle (GM)
Rose moved, Ruse blessed.
Roy moved.

Drumun
Drumun moved

Drufle (GM)
Did Wari move too?

Drumun
Wari hasn't I don't think

Wari
I moved to here yes but I don't know if the demon moved between then and now

Drumun
it hasn't yet

Drufle (GM)
Well since everyone went already, it's the demon fast turn!

Drumun
it's waiting for its turn

Drufle (GM)
Alright, he did his turn.
Shards!

Drumun
the fuck?
where is he?

Wari
waiting
smart boy

Drumun
the shards should definitely scout

Roy
hmm

Rüsenfeld
can i roll per to see if i noticed rose's bleeding nose?

Roy
"Try waiting at the bottom of the stairs!"

Wari
"I say we torch the place and go home"

Drufle (GM)
I mean, if you want to, Ruse.

Rüsenfeld
yes I want to make a snarky comment

Drumun
"Ah'm not so sure that'll kill the demon"

Rüsenfeld
i'm "unfriendly"
and she just aggravated a fucking demon

Drufle (GM)
I don't think you need to roll though, it's pretty obvious.

Drumun
I'm making a perception roll to see if I can hear the demon

Drufle (GM)
Unless she's deliberately hiding it.

Rüsenfeld
alright well in that case

Drumun
rolling 1d20 + 0 + 0d6k1( 9 )+0+() = 9
okay nvm

Rüsenfeld glances at rose

Rüsenfeld
"What happened to your nose?"

Wari
"nothing, what happoened to your face?"

Rüsenfeld
"Hurt it while running away from yoru mess?"
your*

Drumun
Wari pls

Rüsenfeld
lololo

Roy
i have no idea if i have monster telepathy

Rüsenfeld
wari pls
XDDDD

Drufle (GM)
Well that's all for this round, back to the top for everyone!

Wari
AAAHHH

Roy
probably not

Drufle (GM)
And no, I don't believe so, Roy.
That's more of a Primal thing.

Drumun
"Could you two save it fer after the demon is dead"

Drufle (GM)
Who's taking fast turns?

Rüsenfeld
is it canon now that WARI answered me?

Drumun
"Speaking of which...where is it?"

Drufle (GM)
No, I don't think so.

Wari
oh good lord no

Rüsenfeld
ahahahaha

Wari
that was just a silly mistake on our part!

Drufle (GM)
Who all is a fast man this turn?

Rüsenfeld
i'm too gruff to care about my face
ok now
wiat
wit

Drumun
I prepare an action

Rüsenfeld
bah
wait*

Wari
"Yeah, Drum, if it's not gonna come down then set fire to the stairs!"

Rüsenfeld
is my crossbow loaded

Roy
i take a fast turn to load my crossbow

Rüsenfeld
did i even get a chance to fire it?

Drufle (GM)
I don't believe so, no.

Drumun
If a demon attacks me, I'll strike first

Rüsenfeld
ok
i want slow

Roy
ill prepare an action for the shards

Rose
I'll go slow

Drumun
that demon isn't coming down is it
oh fuck can it climb?

Roy
if the demon comes down the stairs, i attack them

Rose takes note of Wari's ranting

Drumun
there isn't a roof

Drufle (GM)
Alright, good to note, prepared actions.

Rose
fumbles through bag

Rüsenfeld
wari is ranting?

Drufle (GM)
Any other fast turns?

Drumun
she really wants to burn everything

Rose
about setting fire to the building!

Rüsenfeld
ah
that's not really that bad an idea
but oh god you're not going to tell us first are you
damn you rooooose

Drumun
no, this is Wari's idea

Drufle (GM)
Alright, demon turn!

Rüsenfeld
luckily there's all this rock

Rose
it's my idea now

Rüsenfeld
stone i mean

Drumun
welp
you don't have fire though
I don't think

Roy
surprise, it descends in front of roy
murder time

Drumun
did we even bring a pyromancer?

Drufle (GM)
Demon's turn is done.
Slow turns!

Rüsenfeld
she might have torch, but no accelerant

Drumun
okay those shards NEED to go upstairs

Rüsenfeld
ok

Rose
don't need magic when I have torches
and tinder

Drumun
we need vision and now

Rüsenfeld
i move here
and i t-a
if an ememy comes within my field of vision
i shoot at it

Roy
the shards already prepared

Wari
"I've got a bad feeling in my gut. I'm going back."

Drufle (GM)
I mean, preparing is an action, not a t-action, but good to know.

Drumun
go on the next round

Rüsenfeld
oh sorry yes

Drufle (GM)
Anyone else slow?

Rüsenfeld
oh and i'm faced this way:

Drufle (GM)
Rose was slow wasn't she?

Wari
rose is slow

Roy
"This is nerve wracking..."

Drumun
"What is it doing up there...?"

Wari
I will also take slow, and prepare an action if the demon attacks me

Drumun
"Roy, kin yer shards go look?"

Wari
to attack it back
can I aslo move?

Drufle (GM)
Yep.
That's the idea of a slow turn.

Wari
there

Drumun
we're burning bless time

Drufle (GM)
Righto.
Rose?

Roy
and summon time

Rose
first of all, I'll light the torch with the tinderbox

Drumun
honestly this waiting only hurts us

Rüsenfeld
yeah since blessing is being expended

Drumun
summons are starting to expire too

Rüsenfeld
but i don't want to go upstairs and find a demon all up in my face

Drumun
the demon is doing who knows what up there
it might not even be in the room

Rose
and then I'll move to the bottom of the stairs, and set it on fire

Rüsenfeld
uh

Drufle (GM)
Righto.

Rüsenfeld
who pinged just then

Drumun
my mistake
trying to zoom

Rüsenfeld
oh ok man you gave me a heart attack

Drumun
sorry man

Drufle (GM)
The old rickety stairs light aflame!

Roy
"This is. Different."

Drumun
"Ah see we're going with fire afterall"

Rose
"time to go, boys"

Roy
"But okay."

Rüsenfeld
"I can't say I disagree with her."

Rose
"you weren't making decisions fast enough."

Roy
"Come back to me, Shards!"

Rüsenfeld
perhaps we should just run
we're not

Drufle (GM)
Top of the round!

Rüsenfeld
really in the best shape

Drumun
alright
SPRINT outta here

Rüsenfeld
how does rushing work?

Drufle (GM)
Use an action to double-move.

Rüsenfeld
oh
i slo turn then

Drufle (GM)
If you take a slow turn, you can combine that with move to triple-move.

Drumun
sprint should be enough

Rose
ah, I see

Drumun
Roy, maybe send the shards upstairs anyways

Rose
I'll just run now~

Drumun
make sure

Rüsenfeld
i'm going to let fast turns play out and then decide on my course of action is that's something i can do
if*

Drufle (GM)
The stairs that are currently on fire?

Drumun
the demon is actually up there
they're shards
they'll be fiiiine

Roy
they cant really tell me what they see

Drumun
oh

Drufle (GM)
Yeah, that too.

Drumun
well, we're going to find out the hard way then

Drufle (GM)
Anyone else going fast?

Wari
yeah I'm out too
"huh, and I thought I was being ignored"

Drumun
russ is just stand there
watching the flames

Drufle (GM)
Wari's just like "wow, I didn't think anyone would actually do that."

Drumun
shame Thicket isn't here

Rüsenfeld
he's calculating what to do

Drumun
she'd love this

Drufle (GM)
Is Ruse just, like, transfixed by fire?

Rüsenfeld
slow turn

Wari
"wait, where's the preacher man? ain't he got sense?!"

Roy
"Some people just want to watch the world burn."

Drufle (GM)
Alright.

Drumun
"Ah'm okay with burning demons"

Drufle (GM)
Player slow turns!

Drumun
demon is going slow
oh dear

Rüsenfeld
I prepare an action
fire on the enemy if he comes within my sights

Drufle (GM)
Good to know.

Rüsenfeld
oh uh
druf

Drufle (GM)
Yes?

Rüsenfeld
can i divine smite a prepared attack

Drufle (GM)
I don't see why not, but let me check to make sure.
Yeah, you can do that.

Rüsenfeld
and if i do
does it expend regardless?

Drumun
oh there it is

Drufle (GM)
It does, yes.

Drumun
damn good thing I chose to stand here

Rüsenfeld
hm

Drufle (GM)
The demon climbs atop the wall, and holds the blue stone aloft!

Rüsenfeld
i'm going to expend one of my burning beams to do this

Drumun
uh oh
do we have a chance to shoot it down?

Roy
ruh roh

Rüsenfeld
no wait

Drufle (GM)
The blue stone glows bright, with an eerie blue light.

Rüsenfeld

Drufle (GM)
The sky dims, and the sun's light slowly fades.

Wari

Rüsenfeld

Rüsenfeld

Drumun
pretty high up

Drufle (GM)
I mean, it's standing right there.
On the roof shingles.

Wari
"oh shit, guys!"

Drumun
"We need ta stop it!"

Drufle (GM)
The moon suddenly glows with a bright light!

Drumun

Rüsenfeld
Demon used Moon Beam

Drumun
MOONGEIST BEAM

Wari

Drufle (GM)

Roy

15 minutes

Drumun clothes rip and tear as he twists and transforms

Roy

Wari

Drufle (GM)
The music did stop, yeah, the auto-loop just stops working after a certain number of loops.

Wari
before the new time

Drumun
15 minutes is probably not going to happen

Drufle (GM)
Well, we can stop soon, but I can 100% guarantee you that this fight will not end in 15 minutes.

Wari
yeah let's
deal with werepig now

Drumun
is transforming a frightening thing or...

Wari
and solve the demon tomorrow
I mean next session

Drumun
that demon isn't going to stop

Rüsenfeld

Drufle (GM)
It's not frightening, no.
Although you can gain insanity once you change back.
So, should we just stop here? Or go a few more rounds?

Drumun
I know I do

Roy

Drufle (GM)
Golurk has a thing early tomorrow.

Wari

Yeah, I'll keep track of spell durations.

Roy
DRUMUN BECOMES A WEREBOAR

Rüsenfeld

Drumun

Rüsenfeld

Drufle (GM)
Ruse, the denounce doesn't get expended unless you actually do the smite.
And yes, the boar is blessed.

Rüsenfeld
oh well that's whati asked you before

Drumun
ohhh shit

Rüsenfeld
an you said it got expended if i prepared

Roy
blessed boar

Drufle (GM)
Oh, sorry.
I wouldn't worry too much about the boar.
1d6+2 damage isn't that scary.
Especially if he only has +3 to hit.

Drumun
it is if it injurse someone
it is if it injurs someone

Drufle (GM)
A good point.

Drumun

Wari

Drumun
HK would kill me harder probbaly

Drufle (GM)
Alright, that's it for today.

Rüsenfeld

Wari
HK would pick you up and hold you under one arm

Drufle (GM)
