Moppy	did sol leave while you were waiting or w/e
Drufle (GM)	he mightve gone to get some tea or something But! We are kind of in the middle of a Serious Combat. I'm sure everyone is doing totally fine right now, and nobody is seriously injured. Ignore the boar.
Moppy	mhm
Horanoven A.	yes ignore to boar
Golurk	oh!! he doesnt have a pog
Horanoven A.	so it can gore someone
Drufle (GM)	I can go grab a boar quick.
Horanoven A.	sorry I don't have a boar version
Drufle (GM)	Boar.
Horanoven A.	just turn Drumun's pog invisible
Drufle (GM)	No, I'll just drag them around together. It'll be great fun. So, time for session 9! Really moving along, here.
Golurk	https://68.media.tumblr.com/dd70d92db35be50f283ad75f0c5a8ca5/tumblr_inline_oc718iWsl01st0mje_1280.png
Drufle (GM)	Well, while we wait for Sol, who I sure hope will be back soon.
Horanoven A.	seems legit
Drufle (GM)	Who wants to go fast?
Wari	rose goes slowes
Drufle (GM)	And as we learned last week, this includes your shards, Roy.
Roy	"Who;s up for running the hell away?"
Wari	I... think I will too
Drufle (GM)	Yes, run from the demon with 18 base speed, go ahead. :P
Wari	"we can't just leave Drumun behind, girl!"
Drufle (GM)	Not that anyone knows that, probably.
Roy	"New guys?"
R�senfeld	apologies
Roy	"We can come back for him? He'll be fiiine"
Horanoven A.	what is boar's speed?
R�senfeld	what's been happening?
Wari	"he'll be pork crackling if we do!"
Drufle (GM)	Nothing, yet. Also boar speed is 10.
Wari	I'll go slow too
R�senfeld	ok so rusenfeld heard a bunc of weird stuff, right
Horanoven A.	yeah somehow I think the boar won't be able to stand up to the demon
R�senfeld	moonbeam and all that i imagine transformation is quite loud too
Horanoven A.	Moongeist Beam
Wari	and prepare an action to attack the demon if it comes down in range of me
Horanoven A.	oh the sound of bone and flesh cracking and reforming?
Roy	"Drat. We should do this quickly then!"
Horanoven A.	you probably heard that
R�senfeld	i.. don't know if my crossbow is loaded - i think it is because i remember waiting for a trap
Drufle (GM)	Wari, you have to take an action to prepare.
Wari	yeah so slow turn
Drufle (GM)	Alright, so is nobody going fast?
Roy	i go fast to cast conjure weapon
Drufle (GM)	Aside from the shards? Ah, ok.
R�senfeld	uh.. if i want my team mates to tell me what's going on out there, does that take an action?
Drufle (GM)	No, I'm going to say talking is a free action. I think it'll be easier on us this way.
R�senfeld	"What in the Lord's name is happening out there?!"
Wari	"HEY RUSS!" "WHEN YOU GET OUT HERE, WATCH OUT FOR THE PIG!"
Drufle (GM)	DUDE WE have PROBLEMS
R�senfeld	"pig?!" i rush out, fast turn
Roy	"Don't floop the pig!"
Drufle (GM)	Roy, are you conjuring a pistol?
R�senfeld	to here
Roy	a pistol
Drufle (GM)	And have your shards take their action or move.
R�senfeld	woops didn't mean to actually drag the pog i supose it doesn't make a difference
Roy	i put them in front of me
Horanoven A.	my advice would be to use the shards as meatshields to keep the boar from causing problems
R�senfeld	so i come out here now, i see a boar
Horanoven A.	a boar with a hat and beard
Roy	"Protect me, children!"
R�senfeld	will it take me a turn to realise what's going on?
Drufle (GM)	Not really, I don't think.
R�senfeld	ok then
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you can just ask. Hey guys, why is there a boar.
Wari	please talk about this
R�senfeld	"What in the hell is that?! Why does it have drumun's hat?!" "And... beard... ??? My.. my god.."
Roy	"Drumun has the swines."
Wari	"the demon fried us all with a beam, and I think... it turned drumun into this"
Drumun	"snort"
R�senfeld	"It .. what..."
Wari	"oh god... what if _I_ turn into a pig?!"
R�senfeld	oooh i think yuo might be able to convince rusenfeld that it's the demon's fault sidestepping my issue Wari starts panicking
Roy	"A swine beam!"
R�senfeld	cool
Drumun	yes pls blame the demon
Drufle (GM)	Well that's all for the player fast turns, so here comes the boar!
R�senfeld	that helps
Drumun	uh oh
Roy	"Avoid it at all costs!"
Drufle (GM)	CHARGE WARI rolling d20+3 ( 17 )+3 = 20 GRRRRR
Drumun	oh god
R�senfeld	oof pls do low dmg
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6+2( 2 )+2 = 4
R�senfeld	what was it.. 1d6+2? nice you can survive that right
Drumun	I mean
R�senfeld	she had like half her health
Wari	don't i roll for damage reduction?
Drufle (GM)	The dwarfboar runs up to Wari and tears at her side with its tusks! And yes, do that.
Wari	rolling 1d6( 4 ) = 4
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
R�senfeld	haha
Wari	bitchin
Drufle (GM)	No damage for you then.
Drumun	as long as everyone stays above half health you'd be alright
Wari	"Shit!"
Drumun	roll for damage reduction?
Drufle (GM)	It kinda feebly smacks against your armor with his tusks.
R�senfeld	"In the name of Astrid, here is the Holy Knight when you need him to hold someone down"
Drumun	I thought armor lowered it by a set amount
R�senfeld	where*
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, the demon is going slow, so player slow turns! Drumun, only if they're using light armor.
Drumun	"Squeal!" ah, okay
Drufle (GM)	If they have medium/heavy armor, it's variable.
Wari	alright since drumun is right here I am going to attempt to grab him and hold him in place Gasp!
R�senfeld	i'm imagining the boar running at wari at a really good, scary clip and then just sort of slowing down and gently nudging her
Drumun	BOAR WRESTLING
R�senfeld	giggling like mad
Drufle (GM)	Ok, so...
Wari	"Get over here you little shit!"
Drumun	wow rude
Drufle (GM)	You make a STR or AGI attack against his STR.
Wari	ok
Drufle (GM)	Er, sorry. His AGI.
Wari	ok my str is 12 and agi is 10 so
Drufle (GM)	They're actually both 13 so it wouldn't matter much.
Wari	str roll it-ohh oh well worth a try
Drumun	no you can still roll
R�senfeld	yeah just roll us a nice 20 and you're good it'll be fiiine
Wari	no +es or -es?
Drufle (GM)	Nope
Drumun	you need to beat 13 with your roll
Wari	rolling 1d20 + 2 + 0d6k1( 1 )+2+() = 3
Drumun	you don't have to innat- oh
Wari	...
R�senfeld	...
Drufle (GM)	Uh.... huh. Well.
R�senfeld	lol.. that's not the pig, dammit, it's the air next to pig
Drufle (GM)	You sure are lucky we don't have critical failures in this system. Anyway. Do you want to move?
Wari	yeah
Drufle (GM)	You still have that move if you want. Drumun just ducks under Wari's grasp
Drufle (GM)	Just be careful, he can AOO. Oh, unless you do that. Fair enough.
Wari	just shieldin him
Drufle (GM)	So, Rose was the other slow turn?
Rose	yes
Drufle (GM)	Take a swing/stab/shot.
Rose	moving behind the north shard
Drumun	you can go for non-lethal
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, if you want to attack the boar, at least.
Drumun	I don't know if that triggers ferocious
Rose	gonna shoot the demon
Drufle (GM)	You may want to actually get- yeah, that.
Rose	it's still marked
Drumun	oh right that's a better idea
Drufle (GM)	Yeah guys, remember the demon?
Drumun	its hard to see
Rose	using trickery
R�senfeld	yeah i mean we don't really want to hurt you
Rose	rolling 1d20 + 2 + 2d6k1( 2 )+2+( 3 + 6 ) = 10
Drufle (GM)	Oh dear.
R�senfeld	lethal OR none lethal
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, not even close. Rose shoots a pigeon that happened to be flying by
Drumun	woops
R�senfeld	mm, dinner
Drufle (GM)	Demon turn!
Drumun	more moongeist beams?
Drufle (GM)	GRAAAAR
Drumun	oh no it just charged down
R�senfeld	that is extremely helpful for me it's not a charge, it's just fast
Drumun	if the demon gets near drumun will he attack it?
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8+2d6k1( 10 )+8+( 1 + 2 ) = 20
Wari	I never prepared that action did i
Drufle (GM)	You didn't, no.
Wari	oh well
Drufle (GM)	You used your action on grabbing instead.
Drumun	I feel like this demon is going to be a problem
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 6 + 5 + 4 ) = 15
R�senfeld	not for long
Drumun	oh nooo
Drufle (GM)	OH GOD
R�senfeld	woooowowowo
Wari	rolling 3d6( 1 + 2 + 5 ) = 8
Drufle (GM)	7 damage, good.
Drumun	reduce reduce reduce!
R�senfeld	holy mother of
Drufle (GM)	That heavy armor is literally going to be saving your life, I can tell.
Wari	oooohhh
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, top of the round!
Wari	not for much longer, bucko!
R�senfeld	fast
Wari	FAST also rose
Roy	fast
Drufle (GM)	Oh boy, a fast kinda day.
Wari	DOGPILE
Drufle (GM)	Wari, you can be first.
R�senfeld	good idea get out of the way
Drumun	he kinda can't because AoO
R�senfeld	oh right Wari recoils in pain from the demon's claws
Drumun	that thing is really good at hitting things
R�senfeld	just 5ft step
Drufle (GM)	I mean, Wari is a smacky lady anyway.
Wari	"nhhhg! you son of a WHORE"
R�senfeld	pfff
Drufle (GM)	I mean, the demon does have 18 STR, they're pretty good at hitting things.
Wari	aight what i'mma doin
R�senfeld	whatever you want really
Drufle (GM)	Boy, you guys are lucky you don't add STRmods to damage in this game.
Drumun	if only we had a way to lower its accuracy
Wari	how many castings of the magic do I have?
Drufle (GM)	Uhhhhh. You already used... two today, I think.
Wari	used two yes
R�senfeld	yeah, you know, we could use someone with true debilitation i focused too much on buff
Drufle (GM)	Which, at power 1, is all of your castings.
Wari	oh
Drumun	is lighting someone on fire debilitating?
R�senfeld	just hit it really hard
Wari	well it was necessary axe time!
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, go ahead and strike.
Drumun	drop the axe!
R�senfeld	druf is this short range? can i pray?
Drufle (GM)	It is short range, yeah.
R�senfeld	i pray for wawri wari*
Drufle (GM)	So give Wari a boon.
Wari	ok 2 rolling 1d20 + 2 + 2d6k1 ( 13 )+2+( 2 + 3 ) = 18
Drumun	woo
Drufle (GM)	A hit!
R�senfeld	juuuust liek that
Drumun	literally just enough
Wari	rolling 2d6 + 0( 3 + 5 )+0 = 8
Drumun	good damage
Drufle (GM)	Next... Ruse?
R�senfeld	you better hope i hit, because i'm going to do something risky
Drufle (GM)	Oh, good. Risk is definitely what we need right now. Wari knocks a chunk of chitin out of the monster's face
R�senfeld	i divine smite, expending revelation, with my crossbow and silver bolts at the demon
Drufle (GM)	Ohhhhhhh dear.
Drumun	wow going all in
Wari	what
R�senfeld	yeah. rusenfeld he's had enough of this demon R�senfeld calls upon the power of the New God R�senfeld raises his crossbow
R�senfeld	uh... rank 2 means if i hit i get +2d6 of dmg, right?
Drumun	I am Rusenfeld, you turned my friend into a pig. prepare to die
Drufle (GM)	You get +4d6.
R�senfeld	even better
Drufle (GM)	It's 2d6 per rank if they're a monstery dude.
R�senfeld	ok uh.. what roll..
Drufle (GM)	AGI.
Drumun	pls don't miss
Drufle (GM)	With 1 boon. I think that should be it.
Drumun	oh right bless
R�senfeld	the boon is from praying for myself? bcause I can do that, too
Drufle (GM)	No, you're out of prayers for this turn.
R�senfeld	i am?
Drufle (GM)	You blessed though.
R�senfeld	isn't this a new round? oh right
Drumun	doesn't he have more than one
R�senfeld	sorry sorry yep
Drufle (GM)	No, he only gets extra prayers/round if he uses that invocation spell.
R�senfeld	ok
Drumun	ah
R�senfeld	rolling 1d20 + 1 + 1d6k1( 14 )+1+( 5 ) = 20
Drumun	WOOO
R�senfeld	YES
Drufle (GM)	Oh lord.
R�senfeld	"I SMITE THEE, DEMON!"
Drumun	Excellent hit
Wari	hooray
R�senfeld	now the crossbow is.. 2d6 i get +4d6 but bolt is silver
Drufle (GM)	So 6d6 total, yes.
R�senfeld	how's that factor in?
Drumun	holy
Drufle (GM)	Silver bolts don't do anything to demons.
R�senfeld	oh.. i only got silver bolts because you said they might help for demons! anyway
Drufle (GM)	They help for "monstrous creatures"
R�senfeld	rolling 2d6+4d6( 4 + 4 )+( 3 + 2 + 4 + 3 ) = 20
Wari	silver is for skinchangers and such
Drumun	NICE
Drufle (GM)	Fucking hell man.
Drumun	So much damage
Wari	iron is for devils and fae
R�senfeld	"YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!"
Drufle (GM)	Ok, so, uh.
Drumun	those bolts just tear through that demon
Drufle (GM)	The bolt launches through the demon's core, and the demon starts warbling and bubbling. The wound grows through the creature, and after a few seconds it snaps into two pieces with a loud crack.
Drumun	OH GOD
R�senfeld	uh
Wari	....
R�senfeld	no pls no what that had better be dead pieces
Drumun	please tell me they don't have full health
Drufle (GM)	They retain the damage you did, though. And each has half health otherwise.
Drumun	oh thank astrid
R�senfeld	ahahaha thank astrid
Wari	aughhh
Drufle (GM)	So the only purpose of Split is to make it two monsters, instead of one. So, Rose?
R�senfeld	well how is their health now then, did i not kill them??
Drufle (GM)	Nope.
Rose	um
Drufle (GM)	They are both currently at 17 hp.
Rose	are _both_ of them marked now?
R�senfeld	that
Drufle (GM)	...
R�senfeld	is unbelievable
Drufle (GM)	Um. Huh. I'm going to go with no, Rose. Just the left one.
Rose	aww
Drumun	focus fire on left one?
Rose	yeah
Drufle (GM)	That's an excellent question, though.
Rose	+trick
R�senfeld	they both have the same damage output and defense and shit?
Drufle (GM)	I can't believe we still have Roy and the shards to go this turn.
Rose	am I covered by blessig too?
Drumun	the sooner we kill one the soon we take off 1 source of damage
Drufle (GM)	Yes, their stats are completely the same as the original one.
R�senfeld	you weren't around when i blessed i believe
Drufle (GM)	And no, you aren't blessed.
Rose	okay
Drufle (GM)	It was just Drumun, Wari, and Ruse, I believe. The only stat that changes is their Health.
Rose	alright +2 boons "well. fuck."
Drumun	an appropriate response
Drufle (GM)	"Gee, this is an unprecedented predicament."
R�senfeld	"Yeah, actually, 'fuck' sounds about right. What gives, Astrid?"
Rose	shooting the one on the left! *my left *not rose's left
Drufle (GM)	Oh and for those wondering, the two copies are vertically split sections of the monster; each one has 2 arms, and the left one has 3 legs, the other one, two.
Rose	rolling 1d20 + 2 + 2d6k1( 1 )+2+( 4 + 5 ) = 8
Drufle (GM)	The weird green floaty blood is leaking out of the massive wound that has been created.
Rose	jjeez
Drufle (GM)	And wow, that was a miss.
Drumun	are they bleeding out? will that kill them?
Drufle (GM)	No, I'm pretty sure demons can't actually bleed.
Drumun	darn
Drufle (GM)	As in the status, bleeding.
Drumun	it was worth asking
Drufle (GM)	Roy? Rose hits the blood, to no appreciable effect
Drufle (GM)	And shards?
Drumun	charge attack?
R�senfeld	roy pls help pffffff
Drumun	wait, try unbalancing knock the demons down actually wait they have 18 strength
R�senfeld	i thought you said to roy to do charge misunderstood funny tho
Rose	these things are standing up on 2.5 legs
Drumun	yeah no I don't want Roy to die -again-
Drufle (GM)	Let's play "did golurk take a nap"
Rose	I don't think we can knock them down
R�senfeld	well she might die anyway because TWO FUCKING DEMONS THANK YOU DRUFLE
Drufle (GM)	>:D I mean, if it means anything, they're small now.
R�senfeld	best attack move i ever made and it just makes two of them
Drufle (GM)	That is the other thing that changed, but it doesn't actually change much.
Drumun	it did make two with less health
R�senfeld	luckily i can still divine smite have to reload though
Wari	can we expect it to happen again and get four quarters
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, divine smite is ridiculous simply because of how many times you can do it.
Drumun	I don't think they can manage another split they have the damage of the big version
Drufle (GM)	It isn't like 3/day like pathfinder paladins, it's literally as many castings as you want to use.
Wari	it's like those bloody cerberi from god of war 1
Drumun	if they split again their damage would be higher than their max hp
Wari	ok
Drufle (GM)	True! Ok, I think golurk is literally asleep right now.
Drumun	D:
Drufle (GM)	I'm going to have his shards charge. rolling d20+2+1d6 ( 20 )+2+( 3 ) = 25 Oh.
Wari	hm!
R�senfeld	i approve
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 4 ) = 4 rolling d20+2+1d6 ( 17 )+2+( 3 ) = 22 Wow.
R�senfeld	ahahaha
Drumun	very nice
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 5 ) = 5
R�senfeld	good job shards!
Drufle (GM)	And, as I assume Roy summoned a pistol with the intention of using it, let's have her take a shot.
R�senfeld	hm again, i approve
Drumun	I guess we're killing the right one first then
R�senfeld	you guys think next round someone could help me load my crossbow
Drufle (GM)	Might as well, really.
R�senfeld	is that a thing someone could do so i can fire immeiately immediately*
Wari	i'm a bit preoccupied right now
R�senfeld	you are, yeah rose won't care
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+4+d6( 3 )+4+( 2 ) = 9
Wari	and you can forget about rose
R�senfeld	fuck
Drufle (GM)	RATS
R�senfeld	i'm gonna have to tuff it
Drufle (GM)	Well, that pistol shot sure didn't work. Well, that's all the players, so monster fast turn!
Drumun	boar time?
Drufle (GM)	The boar whips right around and attacks... (To GM) rolling d4 ( 2 ) = 2
Drumun	"SNORT"
Drufle (GM)	This demon! Wari is shocked
Wari	"he's still in there..."
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+3+d6( 20 )+3+( 3 ) = 26 WHAP
Drumun	"SQUEAL!!"
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6+2( 5 )+2 = 7
Wari	+1d6
Drufle (GM)	+d6?
Wari	for the 20?
Drufle (GM)	No, that's a Warrior thing.
Drumun	I'm not a warrior right now
Wari	oh...
Drufle (GM)	This boar is not a warrior.
R�senfeld	warribaor "Looks like our friend is still in there!"
Drumun	be thankfully it is not
Drufle (GM)	Also it was just a random roll, you guys got lucky.
R�senfeld	shh our chars don't know that
Wari	oh it's so close
R�senfeld	let them have a bit of hope
Drufle (GM)	The boar charges up to the demon and shoves a tusk in the creature's carapace, shredding a piece out of the abomination!
Drumun	its on like 1 hp oh wait its dead
Wari	oh!
R�senfeld	rekt go boar
Wari	oh no wait it's back
R�senfeld	i will not hunt you this day
Wari	as a corpse
Drufle (GM)	Sorry, I forgot we were leaving corpses.
Drumun	this is fine I paniced for a second there
Drufle (GM)	Now, demon fast turn!
Wari	demons evaporate when dead anyway Wari stares the bug down grimply
Wari	*grimly
R�senfeld	grimply
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8+d6( 12 )+8+( 4 ) = 24 HURK
R�senfeld	oh god why
Drumun	I don't think they are capable of missing
R�senfeld	yeah wha
Drufle (GM)	The demon raises a jagged arm and thrusts it at Wari!
R�senfeld	what is that +8
Drumun	18 STR
Drufle (GM)	That's his STR mod!
R�senfeld	jee
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 5 + 1 + 4 ) = 10
R�senfeld	z
Drumun	phew
Drufle (GM)	Roll 3d6, Wari.
Wari	rolling 3d6( 2 + 6 + 4 ) = 12
Drumun	low damage
Drufle (GM)	Wow.
R�senfeld	niiiice
Wari	YUS
Drumun	WOW
R�senfeld	yeeeeeessss
Drufle (GM)	The jagged scythe of an arm harmlessly bounces off! Wari blocks the punch with her CHEST
Drumun	Boar approved
Drufle (GM)	FUCK YOU I'M A DWARF
R�senfeld	a true dwarf wari is a stoat woman of great strength
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, that's the end of the round!
R�senfeld	'stoat' stout?
Rose	rose fast rose first
Drufle (GM)	Hold up!
Drumun	I think its stout
Rose	if charge is one action
Drufle (GM)	Stoats are otters-ish. Stout is what you're looking for.
R�senfeld	yeah i thought so
Drufle (GM)	The moon above dims away, and the sunlight returns!
Drumun	wut holy shit I'm free
R�senfeld	"Drumun!"
Drumun	"Erk.."
Rose	"Drum..."
Drumun	"Ah...aye..."
R�senfeld	what's his status?
Drumun	probably on the ground
R�senfeld	oh god are you naked?
Drumun	I take 1d3 insanity too
Rose	naked and on the ground
Drufle (GM)	Yep.
Drumun	yeah I think all I have is my hat and boots
R�senfeld	ahahahahahaa
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, I think.
Drumun	and some torn clothing maybe at most
Drufle (GM)	Armor would be mostly destroyed, but he has no armor. Roll 1d3, Drumun.
Drumun	rolling 1ds1 = 1 woops wait
Drufle (GM)	Try again.
R�senfeld	lololol
Drumun	rolling 1d3( 1 ) = 1
Drufle (GM)	Nice.
R�senfeld	good
Rose	nexcellent
Drufle (GM)	You're frightened for... some number of turns! Probably a lot.
Drumun	I'm up to 6 insanity
R�senfeld	that
Drufle (GM)	Dang. Drumun is gasping for breath
Drufle (GM)	Well, if it makes you feel better, that half-bug corpse is technically a wereboar now.
Drumun	I'm past the halfway point wow
R�senfeld	"Drumun, take it easy, we'll get you out of this!"
Drufle (GM)	Anyway, fast turns!
Drumun	"Aye...what have I done..."
Rose	"you son of a bitch...(I wanted bacon!)"
R�senfeld	"You helped us is what you did!" oi i heard that well the first part can i roll per for the undertone part
Wari	"you smashed a demon bug for us, ya moron!"
Drufle (GM)	Who all is going fast?
Wari	ROSE FAST BY ORDER
Drufle (GM)	Ruse, I think you're probably a bit preoccupied. Make a PER check with 2 banes.
Rose	as long as
R�senfeld	agreed
Rose	charge attack is one action
R�senfeld	rolling 1d20 + 2 + -2d6k1( 4 )+2+-( 2 + 6 ) = 0
Drufle (GM)	Charge is one action, yes.
R�senfeld	lmao
Drufle (GM)	And wow, nice one. You get 1 bane for charging, though.
Drumun	and nothing was heard
Drufle (GM)	That's the penalty for move/attacking in one action.
Drumun	does rose have to move to hit the demon?
R�senfeld	ok uh.. i need to reload alternatively i could heft my staff and divine whac something
Rose	ok gonnna backstab + trick
R�senfeld	so i will go slow Rose whips out her sword
R�senfeld	and see what happens
Drufle (GM)	Very well, have a go!
Drumun	oh dear this can't possibly go wrong
Drufle (GM)	She gets two boons, I believe.
R�senfeld	preayer
Drufle (GM)	and +2d6 damage. Oh, three boons then.
Rose	rolling 1d20 + 1 + 1d6k1( 13 )+1+( 5 ) = 19
R�senfeld	just kill the damn thing
Drufle (GM)	Well, she didn't need it, clearly. Roll damage.
Rose	rolling 3d6 + 0( 5 + 2 + 4 )+0 = 11
Drumun	good damage we need to do 6 more damage then
Drufle (GM)	Who else is going fast?
R�senfeld	i'm slow Rose cackles maniacally as she stabs the demon
R�senfeld	oh i said already sorry
Drufle (GM)	Drumun? Wari?
Drumun	I am frightened
Drufle (GM)	Oh, frightened. Yeah.
Drumun	I couldn't if I wanted to
Wari	yeah it's me
Drumun	nor do I think drumun is in a state to do anything
Drufle (GM)	Take a swing pal.
R�senfeld	GO AXE GIRL AXE TEH DMON A QUEASTION
Drufle (GM)	Boy, typos ahoy.
Wari	2 boons?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
Wari	rolling 1d20 + 2 + 2d6k1( 2 )+2+( 1 + 5 ) = 9
R�senfeld	nooo
Drufle (GM)	Whoops.
Drumun	oh dear
R�senfeld	pls have the shards+roy kill it
Drufle (GM)	All of those limbs and blood drops are getting in the way! Shards charge! Wari whiffs the hit!
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+2+d6( 19 )+2+( 6 ) = 27 GRAAAAR
Drumun	shards pls
Drufle (GM)	rolling d6( 1 ) = 1
Drumun	oh
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+2+d6( 14 )+2+( 5 ) = 21
Drumun	welp
Drufle (GM)	ALSO GRAAAAR rolling d6 ( 3 ) = 3
Drumun	they just keep going its down to 2
Drufle (GM)	Roy has to reload her pistol...
Drumun	THROW THE PISTOL do 2 damage
R�senfeld	hasn't she got a dagger
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, but that would mean melee range. I refuse to put her in melee range.
R�senfeld	ooookay that's fair enough spells?
Drumun	spells would be helpful she hasn't used anything but her summons spells she must have other castings
Drufle (GM)	One moment.
Drumun	I know she has spectral grasp
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+4( 9 )+4 = 13 A hit!
Drumun	nice
Drufle (GM)	rolling d3( 1 ) = 1 Rats.
Drumun	bugger
Wari	AUGH
Drumun	1 hp left
Drufle (GM)	Well, at least he makes his attacks with 1 bane.
Drumun	Russ!
Drufle (GM)	Speaking of which! Demon turn!
Drumun	welp, rip whoever
R�senfeld	pls miss pls miss
Drufle (GM)	Time for a frenzy attack!
R�senfeld	just roll 0
Drufle (GM)	(To GM) rolling d5 ( 2 ) = 2
Drufle (GM)	(To GM) rolling d5 ( 2 ) = 2
Drufle (GM)	Uh... huh. Well then. Interesting choices, demon.
R�senfeld	??
Drufle (GM)	rolling d20+8( 17 )+8 = 25 rolling d20+8 ( 17 )+8 = 25
Drumun	the demon is not the brightest
R�senfeld	my god
Drufle (GM)	Also, nice rolls there.
Drumun	oh thanks demon
Drufle (GM)	rolling 3d6( 4 + 2 + 5 ) = 11 rolling 3d6 ( 2 + 2 + 3 ) = 7
R�senfeld	who dies
Drumun	and there go the shards
Drufle (GM)	One of the shards is immediately shredded, and the other has a large gash in it!
Drumun	what are the chances of that
Drufle (GM)	For whatever reason, the demon decided to attack them. Lucky you kids. Slow turns!
Wari	it's only got half a brain left give it a break
R�senfeld	quick question
Drufle (GM)	?
R�senfeld	what do i need to do to drop the crossbow, and i mena jsut drop it, and heft my staff? which is.. like in my belt or something
Drufle (GM)	I mean, you can just switch weapons. That's a minor activity.
R�senfeld	is that free?
Drufle (GM)	It's free-ish.
Drumun	free enough in this case
Drufle (GM)	Yeah.
R�senfeld	can i use it in conjunction wiht move+action? ok good
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
R�senfeld	i switch to my staff move here
Drufle (GM)	Boy, this'll be great.
R�senfeld	and divine smite, using burning beam, to whack the demon why divine smite? because i hate teh bloody thing that's why fuck you demon
Drufle (GM)	:P
Drumun	good answer
R�senfeld	it's finess so i rol lagi
Drufle (GM)	Bloody is quite an appropriate description at this point.
Wari	for a second I thought that you were going to use burning beam with the staff
R�senfeld	... you know
Drufle (GM)	PEW PEW
Wari	a 'THIS IS MY BOOMSTICK' scenario
R�senfeld	burning beam might've been a better ieda idea* considering the health but i'm dumb so
Drumun	I don't think russ is in a logical state of mind right now
Drufle (GM)	Psssh, using that +3 over his +1? A ridiculous idea.
Wari	no he's definitely in demon-slaying mode
Drufle (GM)	Well, roll something, pal.
R�senfeld	rolling 1d20 + 1 + 0d6k1( 16 )+1+() = 17 o no
Drufle (GM)	You know, I'm just gonna give that one to you.
Drumun	its the thought that counts
Wari	soft innards
Drufle (GM)	Roll your damage. Which I believe is 3d6+1?
Drumun	roll for overkill
R�senfeld	rolling 1d6+1+2d6( 6 )+1+( 1 + 6 ) = 14
Drufle (GM)	Good grief.
R�senfeld	thank you drufle "I SAID, BURN IN HELLLLLL!!!!!!" "RRRAGH~!"
Drufle (GM)	Ruse points to a spot in the fields away, and calls his shot. He readies his swing...
R�senfeld	lmao
Drufle (GM)	CRACK Rose giggles as demon blood splashes her face
Drumun	tfw the demon blood is actually poisonous
R�senfeld	Eagle, I'd say
Drufle (GM)	The demon's carapace shatters, with bits and pieces of nasty detritus everywhere! Congratulations!
R�senfeld	hole in one
Drufle (GM)	You actually killed a demon.
Drumun	that was quite the battle
R�senfeld	yeah i mean for real
Drumun	Russ mvp
Rose	do we get awards
Drufle (GM)	Ruse, doing easily like 60% of the demons health.
Drumun	we get the moon pearl
Drufle (GM)	Yes! R�senfeld breathes heavily for like two minutes
Drufle (GM)	Unfortunately, the person who can best use this relic isn't here right now, but I think I might as well explain this anyway. R�senfeld then whacks the two demons with the staff a couple of times Wari just falls facefirst
R�senfeld	"Fucking demonic pieces of dog faeces." Drumun Drumun is down on all fours, just...motionless
Drufle (GM)	According to the book, most relics immediately reveal their powers to people, so I'm going to let that happen.
Drumun	can I pls not typo in grim moments
Drufle (GM)	Although, it is just kinda Sitting there in the demon blood right now.
Wari	this is a victory moment! I like to think that roy went into a trance and her shards just went beast mode
Drumun	who wants to pick up the moon pearl?
Wari	considering what happened
Drufle (GM)	Well the shards are gone now.
R�senfeld	i guess i will i was whacking the things might've seen it Rose looks at the moon pearl
R�senfeld	you lot aer prone
Rose	"I ain't touchin that."
R�senfeld	rose is disgusted Rose plays with the floating blood
R�senfeld	"Hm?" R�senfeld picks up the crystal
Drufle (GM)	A surge of energy soars through your body as you contact the gem, and you feel your powers of faith glow. This is the Maiden's Tear, an incredibly valuable relic.
Drumun	the maiden is Lunala
Drufle (GM)	Said to be a crystallized tear of the Moon Maiden herself, this gem has appeared and disappeared from history many times. As a symbol of her power, it has unique magical properties.
Drumun	what are the chances of it ending up here must be fate R�senfeld unhands the crystal in revulsion
Drumun	uhh am I missing something?
Drufle (GM)	The crystal bounces onto the ground, glowing brightly.
Wari	it's not his religion
Drumun	oh right
Wari	just have roy pick it up
R�senfeld	"That.. is an unholy relic."
Wari	before it despawns!
R�senfeld	does the information pass to everyone else or do i need to tell them
Drufle (GM)	Roy walks over and leans down to grab it. You'd have to tell people, it's a personal information thing. Wari mumbles into the ground, complaining about russ's fuddy-duddy-ness
Drufle (GM)	As Roy will probably know for next session, this relic, like most relics, has both a passive and an active capability. The Tear's passive power is to give all rank 0, 1, and 2 spells a free casting each day.
Drumun	nice
R�senfeld	my god that's awesome
Drufle (GM)	The active powers are more... complex.
Drumun	more shards! it fires Moongeist beams we know that much
R�senfeld	i mean it also changed the day into night
Drufle (GM)	As a tear of the symbol of the moon, the gem can subtly control the moon.
R�senfeld	for a little while
Drumun	"subtly"
Wari	hm
Drufle (GM)	It has four separate powers, each dependent on the phase of the moon. An active power can only be used once per day, between all four. The full moon power lets you fire a column of moonfire at medium range in a radius=power for 3d6 damage.
Drumun	which is what we were dealing with
R�senfeld	i should probably give Drumun my coat or something
Drufle (GM)	The waning moon gives you 2 boons on challenge rolls for rounds= power, and similarly the waxing moon gives you 2 boons on attack rolls for rounds=power. And the new moon gives you +3 def for rounds=power.
R�senfeld	it'd be funny t osee him walk in a fullheight trenchcoat and nothing else
Wari	so lots of buffs and one mondo laser beam
Drufle (GM)	Regardless of the power used, the moon comes out of hiding and temporarily changes to the used cycle for rounds=power.
Drumun	so it changes phase
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Drumun	interesting
Wari	but
Drumun	also terrifying
Wari	the moon is messed up isn't it?
Drufle (GM)	The demon didn't know about your wereboarness. It is!
Wari	isn't it always full?
R�senfeld	it jsut wanted a mondo moonbeam
Drufle (GM)	Normally, the powers can only be used in the appropriate moon cycle. But the moon has... issues at the moment.
R�senfeld	it has?
Drufle (GM)	Yes.
Wari	yeah remember the violet corona or was that the sun
Drumun	so the tear has more control over it now?
Drufle (GM)	The moon, yes.
R�senfeld	I don't remember, no
Drufle (GM)	The bizarre corruption of the moon allows the Tear to switch which phase it wants the moon to be in at will. Ruse, did you even read the threeums inbetween-arcs post?
R�senfeld	uh
Drumun	that can't be a coincidence
R�senfeld	... no
Wari	"the tear" or "the tear's wielder?"
R�senfeld	or if i have, i can't remember
Drufle (GM)	The user can change the moon's phase through the Tear's power. For however brief a moment. Rose 's shadow cavorts among the shadows of the corpses
Wari	well that sounds dandy
Drufle (GM)	And, if the music hadn't already tipped you off, this is the end of level 3.
Drumun	yep Wari gets up off the ground
R�senfeld	yeah, great, i'm so glad we didn't die horribly
Drumun	quietly "Did...did ah hurt anyone?"
Wari	"hey, drumun.., you okay?" Wari nudges him
R�senfeld	"You sort of nuzzled Wari." "I assumed it was affectionate."
Wari	"yeah you, uh, did try to gore me but R�senfeld smiles wryly at Drumun
Wari	I'm tough!" Wari turns to russ
Drumun	"Ah...ah dunno wut to say..."
Wari	"you shut your trap!"
R�senfeld	"Here." hands durmun his trenchcoat
Drumun	"Ah thought...ah thought I had it under control"
R�senfeld	you all get to see the scarring on Rusenfeld's arms for the first time
Drufle (GM)	Roy is entirely mesmerized by this fancy moon ball.
Wari	"it's alright, the demon's dead, we got it's thing"
R�senfeld	hint hint
Wari	"no more piggifyin' for you!"
R�senfeld	"You know what's strange, though?" "The crystal doesn't inherently transform anyone into anything.. it can only affect the moon." "I don't know what the demon did to cause this transforation."
Wari	"you serious?"
Drumun	"..."
R�senfeld	"But as Wari said, it's dead now."
Drumun	"Ah need ta...be alone fer a while" R�senfeld nods
R�senfeld	in relief i fail to notice the obvious.. for no now*
Wari	"let's get back to base first, eh?" oh russ!
Drumun	"Ya go ahead..." "Ah'll...ah'll catch up"
Wari	I was assuming you'd worked it out and were being courteous about it!
Drumun	hint check intections hint
Wari	considering he DID hit the demon
R�senfeld	i dont have a reason to check your intent did the demon transform? oh god it did
Drufle (GM)	It's dead. Dead things don't do a whole lot of transforming.
R�senfeld	ok good
Drumun	alright, cause Drumun doesn't actually intend to go back
R�senfeld	yeah no rusenfeld thinks it's the demon
Drumun	he needs to think for a long time oh"
R�senfeld	that did the thing it's a much easier 'fact' for him to understand for reasons Rose toddles off to collect formor bones
R�senfeld	in case you didn't notice i gave drumun the trench coat
Rose	oh we did notice
R�senfeld	my left arm is covered in very visible scars
Drumun	something something old magic?
Wari	it's jjust not important right now
R�senfeld	somethign something old magic, that's right
Wari	we can talk about it back at base
R�senfeld	yeah no i was just making sure YOU the players saw that
Wari	righto :)
Drumun	Drumun did not
Drufle (GM)	Shall I move everyone back to the Guild Hall?
R�senfeld	it's an important reveal �
Drumun	he is not in a state to do so
R�senfeld	yes pls you all also notice that rusenfeld is BUFF AS HELL becuse
(From Drumun)	I guess you can bring in Thicket
R�senfeld	because i waant you to
Wari	ahahah
Drufle (GM)	After the long, and probably bloody walk home, the four heroes return to the guild hall.
Rose	rolling 1d20 + 1 + 2d6k1( 10 )+1+( 1 + 5 ) = 16
Drufle (GM)	Yvonne greets them as normal, and hands them their reward.
Rose	"ooh, those muscles sure look... juicy..."
Drumun	pffft
R�senfeld	lol
Drufle (GM)	Pffahhaha. R�senfeld looks at Rose
Drumun	Yvonne immediately falls for Russ
R�senfeld	"Uh.. I'm sure they're not very palatable"
Drufle (GM)	"Is... is that a compliment?"
R�senfeld	"But thank you"
Drumun	he's too damn handsome
Drufle (GM)	So, who wants the 50 crowns? Rose 's fingers trace the handle of her sword, subtly
R�senfeld	divvy divvy?
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, probably just hand 10 to each.
Rose	divvy
Wari	yvvid R�senfeld sighs
Drufle (GM)	I'm surprised that Golurk is still in roll20. He usually auto-signs out by now.
Wari	really? that's a thing?
Drumun	he might have his head on a key or something
Drufle (GM)	Well no, but it's not often that he falls asleep and he stays in the game. Usually he leaves somehow.
Drumun	he might wake up and leave
R�senfeld	he's with us in spirit
Drumun	decide he's too tired
Drufle (GM)	Roy is very excited though. Shiny blue magic orb.
R�senfeld	"Hey, Yvonne? Pop the kettle on, would you?"
(From Drumun)	how much time has passed since everyone started this quest Yvonne Lariel nods and goes to the kitchen.
Wari	"sweet, money!"
R�senfeld	"I don't think I've ever held that many crowns.."
(To Drumun)	what, this specific quest? the level 3 one?
Wari	"doesn't seem enough for what actually happened to us though"
(From Drumun)	yeah
Wari	"we oughta tell the council"
(From Drumun)	Thicket might have come back by now
R�senfeld	"We're going to have to courier Drumun his share." "Wari, the council probably suspected demonic presence."
(To Drumun)	well you guys probably first got it around 11 am or so, and it's a bit of a walk there, so it's probably currently like 1 pm
R�senfeld	"50 crowns seems like a lot of cash for just fomors." "I don't know why I didn't see it before just now."
Wari	"yeah. I dunno why he was so keen on-oh, right"
(From Drumun)	hmm, yeah Thicket might not be back yet
R�senfeld	"Blinded by old greed, I suppose."
Wari	"they coulda had the fuckin sense to TELL us though!"
R�senfeld	"I used to think you could only count on the Church..." Yvonne Lariel returns with a plate, with a kettle and some cups scattered about it.
R�senfeld	"I guess i can't really say that with conviction anymore." R�senfeld picks up a mug
R�senfeld	"Thank you."
Wari	"you can only count oun yourself, man. that and your mates." Yvonne Lariel leaves, the plate still hanging in midair.
R�senfeld	"...She's such a showoff."
Drumun	showing off for you clearly ohohoho
R�senfeld	hahahaha R�senfeld sits on... i dunno whatever chair/bench is there
R�senfeld	the floor is nothing else
Rose	"I believe I can agree with you on the first part of that sentiment, girl"
R�senfeld	the chest on the right
Drufle (GM)	There's invisible tables and chairs around. But, you know, art.
R�senfeld	"How does a demon come in posession of.. of.. the Maiden's Tear?"
Drumun	what facilities does the guild have?
Drufle (GM)	I believe I mentioned this earlier, but the answer is "lots."
Drumun	ah, good
R�senfeld	do we have junior residents to order about?
Drufle (GM)	A chapel, a kitchen, some sparring and exercising equipment, stuff like that.
Wari	"I don't fuckin know. Might be worth askin around."
Drufle (GM)	And the dormitories, of course. There are some lesser heroes, like level 1 or 2ish.
Wari	"maybe that crazy monkey has a clue."
Drufle (GM)	None of them currently have names, though.
R�senfeld	so we should probably do the levelling at some point right
Drufle (GM)	Indeed.
Wari	yeah and then call it quits
R�senfeld	i'm not sure what we're doing since golurk's asleep
Drufle (GM)	Luckily for you, level 4 is by far the easiest.
Wari	I just summoned crank and we have no art for him! :P
R�senfeld	we just.. add hp?
Drumun	probably a good idea to level now
Drufle (GM)	Bit of health, a special power or a spell.
Drumun	level 4 now
Drufle (GM)	Nine times out of 10, the special power is better than the 1 spell.
Drumun	I get +6 health
Drufle (GM)	Elves, however, aren't quite as lucky. You get 4 health or one spell. No special powers.
Drumun	my healling rate is 9 now
Drufle (GM)	Probably because they come free with spell defense and bewitching presence.
Drumun	holy shit
R�senfeld	you think I should get determined rather htan a spell? determined isn't really THAT great..
Drufle (GM)	Oh yeah.
Rose	4 more halth for me :)
R�senfeld	i mean sure it can turn the tables
Drufle (GM)	I would almost invariably say determined over a spell.
R�senfeld	really? ok i'll follow your suggestions -s
Drufle (GM)	You'll never know when something like that could save your hide.
R�senfeld	alright, levelling done then for me
Drufle (GM)	If you can find a spell that you think is really good, you can take it.
R�senfeld	nah, not at rank 2
Drufle (GM)	But I don't think there's quite anything good enough to replace Determined. So that'll be all for now! Way to go, folks.
R�senfeld	do i need to level my other one too?
Drufle (GM)	As I mentioned earlier (I think you missed this), if you want side characters to keep up in level, you need to give me a reason for them to do so.
Wari	do I learn shake it off
Drufle (GM)	Write a paragraph or two about what adventure they had in the meantime that deserves a level.
Wari	or a spell?
R�senfeld	god i pay with an essay i'm leaving them at level 3, forget it
Drufle (GM)	That's actually one of the 1/10 times spell might be better, Wari.
R�senfeld	:P
Wari	oh ok!
R�senfeld	(will think of a paragraph a bit later)
Wari	more battle magic I guess?
Drufle (GM)	Shake it off is certainly good, but having only one rank 0 spell is really hurting you right now. Grab Mighty Attack, I'd say.
Wari	so another rank 0 battle, ok
Drufle (GM)	Nah, don't get the other rank 0.
Drumun	guys, hybrid form is scary
Drufle (GM)	Your Strain only works with attack spells, right?
Wari	yeah
Drufle (GM)	Get Mighty Attack, it's literally just Augmented Attack but better.
Drumun	brb for a sec
Drufle (GM)	Or Resounding Attack, if you want.
Wari	I'll have a loook
Drufle (GM)	I can tell you right now. They're both just upgraded forms of Aug. Attack.
R�senfeld	smacky
Drufle (GM)	Mighty Attack adds +2d6 damage, and Resounding Attack makes them dazed for a round. Dazed meaning they can't use actions.
Wari	hmmm tough call!
Drufle (GM)	Yeah, they're both pretty good.
R�senfeld	man those are nice
Wari	Russ was mentioning we need debuffs
Drufle (GM)	Ah, true.
Wari	so I think resounding will do
Drufle (GM)	Sorcerous Resounding Attack will be brutal, methinks.
R�senfeld	i pray
Drufle (GM)	So, that's all for this level! Next time, we'll continue investigating what the hell is up with that moon.
R�senfeld	link me to post, i will read
Wari	...can we go to the moon
R�senfeld	sorry i'm so averse to teh threeums
Drufle (GM)	You won't go to the moon, no.
Wari	shame
Drufle (GM)	If only because of the whole breathing thing. HK probably could. But just him.
Wari	he could! I'll get some rocket feet
Drufle (GM)	But then there's also, you know. Getting there.
Wari	long trip
Drufle (GM)	Indeed. So that's it, everyone can go.
