Last time we joined our antiheroes, they were fighting! But then we stopped playing. In the meantime, Hina's been charging up. Let's see what she's got after 2 weeks of that.
|
|
The Evil Saga! ~ Chapter 9: Children's Card Games (Will Probably Destroy Everything)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
WHOS READY FOR SHADOW FIGHTING
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyway, severe enthusiasm aside.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It's Hina's turn to attack the shadows!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
However she wishes to do that.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It feels so weird starting in the
middle of combat.
|
|
Ezra:
|
I am of course useless because these
things don't have backs to stab.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
One of these days I'll have monsters
that aren't elemental, constructs, or incorporeal.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
LET'S BEAT THEM UP
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Kill, Murder, Death.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'll be the bard, because I'm sure
Jenna can actually do more damage than me
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The way of the samurai.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
so if I go one south, I CAN CLEAVE
THEM MORE RIGHT >:)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
lalala~~
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That is right.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Go ahead and cleave.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
i still can't do the macros
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Balls, from the well.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
|
Attack!
|

|
This sword can cut through anything! Mostly!

1d20(7)+1 = 8
|
2d6+6(12)+1 = 13 Slashing
|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Would you stop critting already.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This helps nobody.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I guess leaving that attack to the
next session was a good idea after all
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
the fateweave is still shattered
though.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, those two weeks of charging up
let her murder.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I mean, she didn't actually get the
crit.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
doesn't she attack the next one now
then
|
|
The Drufle:
|
She swings through Shadow Eins,
tearing it apart.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And now she has to roll again for the
other one.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
>:)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And then she gets a -2 to AC for a
round I think.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
yep
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Go ahead, kill again.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Although this shadow hasn't actually
been hurt as much.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
|
Attack!

This sword can cut through anything! Mostly!

The Drufle:

That is unfortunate.

Ezra:

Btw is Jenna singing?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
+2 to attack rolls.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
(It's +2 I checked._
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Is damage still +1 or is that 2 as well
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(did it boost damage)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Let me look that up.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I don't know bards very well.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
no one does
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
they're so mysterious
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You would think we would know bards
better.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
We've had one in both campaigns.
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
lol bard
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Inspire Competence is at +2, not
Inspire Courage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You guys still only get +1 to attack
and damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyway, Hina misses bad.
|
Bernard Blackbrass has received initiative.
|
|
Ezra:
|
drufle! the fateweave?!??!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i dunno
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I didn't forget something did I.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
the past should've been slightly
different, and now everything is completely changed because of
that +1!
|
* Bernard Blackbrass just casually walks into
the room, more curious than determined to fight. Instead of the
oversized axe, he's handling that sparking hammer.
* Bernard Blackbrass gives the shadow a test
poke.
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
|
Attack!

|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So that's an 11 then?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Unless you're adding your amplifier
bonus.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
ehh let's say I am sure why not.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, that hits then.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
wait
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Wait, does the hammer have the same
bonus as the axe?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yeah... that.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Besides that, different damages.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
We'll assume two handed but otherwise
I don't remember.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It's a warhammer, so yeah.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You should have a +4 to attack.
|
* Brass rolls: 1d8+2 => 1 + 2 = 3
|
The Drufle:
|
+5 with Jenna.
|
* Brass rolls: 1d6 => 3
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, that's 6 damage then.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
good poking skills bernie. you did
damage anyway.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Hina hold this."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
well you don't poke with a hammer
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i think that was your mistake there
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow recoils from the sparking
hammer, but still clings to the wall.
|
Veilwar has received initiative.
* Bernard Blackbrass offers Hina the hammer.
|
|
Ezra:
|
can i suggest maybe
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you actually handing her the
hammer?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
not blowing us up here
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That provokes an aoo.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I mean, I can't imagine why it wouldnt.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Er. . . I am not exactly the best
trained in using hammers, and this is NOT a good time to be
trading weapons!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
To be fair, you are actually
proficient with warhammers.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Sure you are."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But plotwise you are correct.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I can't believe how much is happening
in six seconds!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So are you actually going to hand her
the hammer and risk the attack?
|
|
Golurk:
|
talking is a free action
|
* Bernard Blackbrass doesn't stop holding up
the sparking hammer as a cudgel over the Shadow though.
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
If she takes it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Talking is, yes.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
lets discuss global politics
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There is a limit, however.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, I'll have veilwar go next.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
ghost tekton what should i do
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Back", the gesture commands
wordlessly.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
-"kill the hoomans"
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
remember who you aaare, ezra
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow refuses to move, sticking
to the wall incredulously.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
also you're a sneaky ninja kill them
all
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
and give their booty to me
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
i want some booty
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Is this like the portal?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, let's think.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I can throw a bomb at the wall, which
probably won't hit you guys.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or I can see if any of these extracts
are worth using.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I think if you were to risk that just
enough Brass might find a good reason to retaliate.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I dunno, what's his Wisdom score?
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
yes
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
in fighting
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
mmmhmm
|
|
The Drufle:
|
His Wisdom is 15.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But he is crazy, remember.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There's no reason he wouldn't do that.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
does he have a wepon
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I have a believable response.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He does, yes.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Don't."
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Oh, do the explosions bother you?"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"No I love explosions. Just... outside
first."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"I find them quite thrilling, heheheh."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Oh fine, POTIONS"
|
* Bernard Blackbrass turns back to the shadow.
"Give up."
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar pulls out a small pouch, and
rapidly mixes up a small vial of liquid and chugs it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He now has a temporary hit point for
the next ten rounds.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Just to help the not dying.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Always nice.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Yield!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Speaking of which, it's the shadow's
turn.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And it has no intention of stopping.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what a fella
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It shifts along the wall and stares at
Hina, which it realizes is the primary threat.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"...!"
|
* The Drufle rolls: d20+4 => 13 + 4 = 17
|
|
Golurk:
|
of COURSE
|
* The Drufle rolls: d6 => 5
Edited character sheet
|
The Drufle:
|
Man, Hina is not looking good.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
is she going to stab her teammates now
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Her arms suddenly limp, her sword
falls to the floor.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
because that seems to always happen
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Because your strength stat is now 7.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Watch that doesn't go any lower.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"We will end you now no matter what!
Is this what you want?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow still seems not to hear
Brass, stuck to the wall.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
are these things even sentient or
anything
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
as in can they feel fear
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They do have an Int score, so yes.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
or is this fella just a team player
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But this one doesn't really seem to
care.
|
Ezra has received initiative.
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra, your turn.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
aww, i can't stab everyone now
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Uuhhh. . . I. . ."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"What are you doing? Pick up your
sword!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Quick reminder that if your STR hits
0, you die.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
At the moment, Hina seems to be having
trouble remaining standing, let alone wielding a giant sword.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"I. . . I don't know if I can. . ."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra, you may stab at will.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Can I move her, maybe take her spot
and push her backwards
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"The shade. . . . sapped my strength.
. ."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
is that a thing
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I think that may actually be a combat
maneuver.
|
* Bernard Blackbrass growls impatiently. "Well
then /get back/ before Shady here does it again."
|
The Drufle:
|
Let me check.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
also did i have some str sapped
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i've lost the temp value
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Uh, let me look.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
how much was it?
|
java.lang.NullPointerException error executing expression status =
input( "tab0 | Info || TAB", "blah |
|
The Drufle:
|
You have 3 STR damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Hina has 11 at the moment.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
so im at 10
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
wait 11?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
you said 7 a moment ago
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
or 11 damage
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
man
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also, you can reposition someone as a
combat maneuver.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
she's been taking how many hits.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is a standard action and provokes
aoo.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
okay how do those work then
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It's just like a normal move, but it
uses your CMB instead of your normal attack bonus.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Of course, since you're using it on
Hina, you don't have to roll.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Just go ahead.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Are you sure you wouldn't want to just
attack?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You could just attack, too.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Hina can move on her own turn.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
is it a full round thing or just a
standard
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Standard action.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
right...
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Provokes Aoo.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
interesting
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You can get her out of the way, but
you might get sapped in the process.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but i think brass is right
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow doesn't go again for a
while anyway.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
hina can still move herself right
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
How are we hitting something on the
wall anyway?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i guess its kinda sticking out
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Shadows do kinda protrude, yeah.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Kind of 2-dimensional.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
...
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Look, they're magical creatures.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra: reposition or attack?
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+7+1 => 6 + 7 + 1 = 14
|
|
Ezra:
|
attack
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
erhg
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Is that the +1 from Jenna's bonus?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
no good right
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
yeah
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, you miss.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'll 5ft away also
|
* Bernard Blackbrass sends a telepathic
"-Withdraw" message.
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(to Hina)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
right next to you
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
you are so lazy
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You guys can all communicate
telepathically, remember.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Is that a doorway?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Try not to forget that.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i think he means up
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
next to me
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yes, there is a large stone door there.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
But I don't think charging into a new
room is a good idea
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Not at the moment, no.
|
Jenna Callahan has received initiative.
|
The Drufle:
|
Jenna's turn!
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Is everything alright in there?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Hi
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Hina dropped her sword. She and Ezra
look sick!"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Ooh! Interesting!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Take care of Hina, it has it's eyes
on her."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Damn it Jenna they are going to die!"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Let me try to keep him away from you
two."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
She stops the song in progress, and
changes the tune a bit.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The song suddenly becomes slower,
almost haunting.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow takes its talons from Hina
and stares directly at Jenna, mesmerized by the sound.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hey is that Celine Psion?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"She's pretty good."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"It is!"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"How culturally knowledgable of you."
|
* Bernard Blackbrass mutters impotently.
|
|
Ezra:
|
i totally rolled that knowledge check
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow is now utterly helpless for
the moment.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
just...secretly
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Note: any direct threat to the shadow
will break the spell.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You may move freely as long as the
shadow is enthralled, but as soon as someone swings it'll start
attacking again.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You can't just leave it though, of
course.
|
Hina Takahashi has received initiative.
|
The Drufle:
|
Hina, you can run freely now.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Get to the back. We'll have your
sword, just get out of here. Please."
|
Ezra is disconnected.
Ezra is disconnected.
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, that's bad.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Alright!"
|
* Bernard Blackbrass should probably have
spoken telepathically, and yet...
* Bernard Blackbrass breathes a sigh of relief.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
. . .I can do that, right?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow cannot take any actions.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Until someone swings, of course.
|
Bernard Blackbrass has received initiative.
|
The Drufle:
|
Speaking of which.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Telepathically, Brass notes "-Get
ready, little guy."
|
Ezra has connected.
java.lang.NullPointerException error executing expression status =
input( "tab0 | Info || TAB", "blah |
* Bernard Blackbrass sends out the message
"Gonna chain it up."
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"-Light should do it."
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I kinda zoned out there, what...what
are we doing?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Everyone is running away while Brass
gold-tethers it.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"-It's too dangerous to leave here."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Okay, we're tying up a shadow."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
It'll work.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
To be fair, they are magical tethers.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Well, let's just execute it then."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"-Just like the tale of the boy who
lost his shadow."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Why can't we just blow it up?!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Shh!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"You know that might work!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*We totally will. Just...*
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And, I expend psionic focus to topple
it too.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Why not.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Pin it to the floor.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow, now struggling once more,
is tethered by shimmering gold chains to the floor.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"I bind you to this world!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It has no ability to move.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
you know what you guys should do
|
* Bernard Blackbrass looks to his left and
right, over adjacent people's heads. "How was that?"
|
|
Golurk:
|
use portals
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Well, that seems cruel."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
to recreate that door thing
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
in scooby doo
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Why doesn't someone just stab it?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hey, he knew the risks."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Golurk: that is exceptionally silly.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"And he knew the rules."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"And explosions are still quick and
painless!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"But i've not seen anything sorrier."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
the shadow's like flashes before its
eyes
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
They look like chains of light from
his fingertips.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
its shadow birth
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I should note that while shadows are
sentient, it has no means of communication.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow learning how to ride a bike
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow elementary school
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I should try and link it to me.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow crushes
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Because why not.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you actually going to try that?
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow girlfriend
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Set up everyone, we'll go on my mark."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow bullying
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes, yes I am.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, alright.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
How's Hina doing over there
|
|
|
Ezra:
|

|
|
|
Golurk:
|

|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
How many can I hold, five?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I drop Ezra.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That's right.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow dropout
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
oh wait, I don't count.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Wait do you not count?
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
shadow depression
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
So I can hold her.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That's what I thought.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also, I should note.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
how...how could you
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
brb
|
|
The Drufle:
|
As a bound creature, you can totally
coup de grace it.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i want to be in your psychic treehouse
club
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Well of course
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I can be all french about it too
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Like, straight up tear it apart.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Murder it to death.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You are evil people, start acting like
it.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I always imagined it to be some kind
of fancy dancy attack move
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
with that name
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Coup de grace is just killing a
helpless creature.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but no its just barbaric ripping
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but french~~~
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Like a french Man
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, we'll wait until Brass gets back
to see what happens.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
he wields fish
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Until then, what do Ezra and Hina
think should happen?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I think I'd like to be healed or
something
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I didn't think you guys would hold
anything alive, so I'd love to hear your torture methods.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well that too, sure.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'd like to know if it can feel fear
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
It'd be interesting to find out.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
How did it feel when its companions
were killed..?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Or is it just a fucking shadow
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It can't talk.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also I should point out, that without
healing spells, ability damage recovers at one per day.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
There's lots of kinds of pain. Which
can YOU feel???
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Without magic, Hina could be out for
quite a while.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I guess Heal checks don't fix it?
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
:
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
this is gonna suck
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Heal checks do not work on ability
damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I mean, surely theres a scroll for
this in the wagon.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Provided you ever make it back to the
wagon.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
its right upstairs
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But are you about to turn around right
now?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I mean, I'm not saying you can't.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
BUT ADVENTURE AWAITS
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but hinas all frail
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
and SAD
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You can have someone just run up if
you want.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You haven't really gone that far.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I can't imagine its that far
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'll go, then
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but lets wait for brass
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Seriously, you know how many rooms
you've been in?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
there was that hallway, and then that
small room
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There's just been a lot of hallway.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
thats it really
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I guess he'll be a bit longer
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'll just go
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And i'm back.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright then.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'm leaving to the cart to get a
suitable scroll to heal our str damage
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
does his telepathy work at ranges?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Mostly Hina's since hers is the only
really bad one.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I have no clue.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
No.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
whats the distance?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
is there one
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Medium spell range.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
At this level, 140 feet.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
to be fair thats quite far but okay
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
off i go
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
It's reallynot.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There's the entirety of the dungeon,
so far.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I nip back and get scrolls
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
If I can, I grab 4 of them
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Isn't that a lot?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Does this shadow say anything?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
probably
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Telepathically?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
how many will there be
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Hina and Ezra I think.
|
java.lang.NullPointerException error executing expression status =
input( "tab0 | Info || TAB", "blah |
|
The Drufle:
|
You're the only ones with strength
damage, I believe.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And restoration scrolls heal all
ability damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So 2 should be fine.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I don't really need it that much though
|
* Bernard Blackbrass slides a coin in circles
around the 'body' of the shadow.
|
The Drufle:
|
That is true.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"You caused us a lot of grief you
know."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
it'll affect some skills, at most
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*Answer me.*
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass: in the shadow's mind, you hear
shouting and wailing, but no coherent thought.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
and that's not really ones i use either
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'll take 2 restoration scrolls then
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You guys have what, 3 scrolls of each?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Well then, I shout and wail back
louder.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Sharply!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I got two of these healing scrolls"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Actually it appears that you only have
one of each spell.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But for convenience, sure.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Can anyone use them?"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*Shh, shh. It's okay.*
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*Soon, your pain will stop.*
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*Look at me.*
|
* Bernard Blackbrass keeps an erect pose.
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Use one on Hina, and we'll save the
other for now."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Someone needs a UMD or spellcraft
check, though.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Who is it that can use it though?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I can.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I give you both scrolls then
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Thank you. . . the sooner we can move
again, the better."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Or at least I could if I wasn't
pinning this guy down.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Okay that's a thing
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Oh, give them to me."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what about these other two
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Let me try."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Okay
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
|
Use Magic Device Check

Roll: (GM Only) « d20

|
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Isn't she singing though?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Nah, she stopped.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also she plays an instrument I think.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Hey little guy, you got the bomb
ready?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Which is why she talks mid-battle.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
It's a rockin guitar
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"I always have bombs ready, kekeke."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
|
Use Magic Device Check
|
At-Will • Cha
Roll: (GM Only) « d20

|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There, much better.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Gonna make a boom! Big bada boom!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Jenna pulls the runes from the scroll,
and with a short incantation, Hina's strength returns.
|
Edited character sheet
|
|
Ezra:
|
"That was shiny."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*Ezra, grab Hina's sword.*
|
* Veilwar cackles crazily and skitters up to
the laying shadow, pulling a bomb casing from his pouch.
* Bernard Blackbrass puts on obsidian shades.
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Any last silences, shadow?!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar finishes the bomb and places
it on the writhing shadow, running away giggling.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra, I wouldn't stand so close.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I give Hina the sword
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Which I just grabbed
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Because this is a coup de grace, the
bomb does max damage.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Can
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Can he miss
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
oh
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Coup de grace's never miss.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
wow you're *still* killing the shadow??
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
it flies up, and tpks us
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Golurk: Brass tied him up on the
ground.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
A shower of coins fly away from the
spot, coming very close to hitting people. Well, one hits Jenna on
the side, but not too hard.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass, roll a will save.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
oh fuck forgot that part.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
|
Will Save
|
|
Will Roll: « d20
+ Will = 5 + 5 = 10 »
|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, being psychically connected to a
dying being isn't the best thing.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadow's shrieks resonate in your
mind, clouding your thoughts.
|
Hina Takahashi has received initiative.
|
The Drufle:
|
Also, the wall blows right the hell up.
|
* Bernard Blackbrass grints his teeth.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
what
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It was a bomb.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Bombs explode things.
|
* Veilwar laughs with glee.
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Explosions are wonderful!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Very flashy."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So, tactitians do get a penalty for
having a dying person in their mind.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But it doesn't last long.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
And hey, now we can save a few seconds.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"I don't..." Those gold coins are just
floating very /very/ still in mid-air. "Oh wow."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"That guy was I don't oh wow that guy"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Well that was gleefully destructive."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Bernie, are you alright?"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
A coin flings itself toward Bernie to
smack him in the forehead before clinking to the floor.
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Apparently not."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Self harm isn't the answer."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
A coin flings itself towards Ezra to
smack her in the arse cheek before clinking to the floor. It hurts
a lot.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Shut up shut up shut up."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The shadows are now all dead, and I'm
sure you all feel wonderful about your decisions.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Touchy."
|
* Bernard Blackbrass snarls "shut the *fuck*
up", looking at something no one else can see apparently.
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hey door, are you a trap?"
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+4 => 13 + 4 = 17
|
|
Ezra:
|
(percept!!)
|
* Bernard Blackbrass doesn't care enough to
look at anything else at the moment.
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass: the penalties only last for 18
seconds you realize.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or this one does, at least.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
It's been around that much I figure.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Otherwise no I don't realize.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
This is really the first time it's
happened to him.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra: the door looks like a totally
normal stone door.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
But right at the end, the coins all
fall to the floor at the same time. No reason to focus on that
anymore.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It has bracing along the top and
bottom, and a doorknob on the left side.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"This door looks clear."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
|

|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyone else want to percept before the
door opens?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(Also I think veilwar might want to
cug a potion)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|

|
|
|
Ezra:
|
or heal in some fashion anyway

/ 26 HP remaining...
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar is a bit too nutty to really
take a close look at anything right now.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"That's never happened before."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Brass is disconsolate and not paying
attention.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"What happened?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Is satona still here?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or did he disappear again.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
both
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Hina is going to take a look at the
door as well, just in case.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Do you want to see the door too?
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
Indeed.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
(I was bringing in groceries)
|

|
It's really nice

Hina Takahashi:

did we do the scroll thing
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The door looks perfectly fine to you,
Hina.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They did, yes.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Jenna used the scroll on you.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You have 18 STR once more.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
excellent
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Jenna handed you your sword too.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"It doesn't look out of the ordinary
to me."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or whoever had it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, door looks clear.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Who's going to open it?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Let's let Brass recompose himself over
there
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar is still on a bit of an
explosion high.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He really likes explosions.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"So I'm not sure what happened, but
you should think about it later, when you've got time to properly
think."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"I do nothing but think."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"I don't like it in here."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I think I can guess what happened,
and while I'm curious as hell, we should move on."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"That thing had a mind. It was in pain
and turmoil and I /felt/ that suffering."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Let's gogogOGOGOGO!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"It needed to die."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Dying is like that, I guess."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
(He is totally right)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"And I felt it as it died..."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"And now it opened up my worldview."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Next time... next time I find some
soul suffering like that..."
|
Player "Bernard" is not connected.
* Bernard Blackbrass grins in gruesome
tiefling fashion, recomposed. "I'm telling that guy he's on his own, and
dropping ties first."
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Sweet."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"That's what he gets for touching my
chessmate."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Now, one more perception check or is
this door getting opened?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Veil should open it
|
* Bernard Blackbrass turns right around to
that door, chuckling.
|
|
Ezra:
|
he's so happy
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He is quite excited at the moment, yes.
|
* Bernard Blackbrass just touches the hammer
to that door. That's what we do.
|
The Drufle:
|
But he's in no condition to open doors.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Fuck all this rolling shit yo.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright then!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Ho dang! Progress!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
As Brass opens the door, a click comes
from above you all.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
OPEN IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I was nowhere near that door!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You poked it!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
With the hammer!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
In fact, we were all outside
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I mind poked it!!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
with the cart
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You were like there, right?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
we were talking to the genies

The Drufle:

A portion of the ceiling above the
door collapses, falling on the three women in front of it.

Jenna Callahan:

"Why is everything trapped all the
time!?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Ghk!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"That was ridiculously fast."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Since Brass is the only one not dazed
from a chunk of rock falling on his head and not crazy, he looks
up at where the rocks came from.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Damn right I do.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
We are all looking up at the rocks yo.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Sure enough, there's a bunch of
intricate machinery above where the ceiling used to be.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
With a rope leading down towards the
door.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Onward with exploration!
|
* Bernard Blackbrass chortles. "I gotta get me
one of those!"
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Can't say I've seen that one
before..."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I bet its a bitch to replace though."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Ooh, more explosions!"
|
* Veilwar cackles.
|
The Drufle:
|
Eager to see more explosions, Veilwar
darts between the rubble towards the door.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Aw yeah we're explodin' all the rocks
up in this house."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar's grin drops.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Nobody has been here for a long time.
. . or perhaps someone is maintaining these.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"More doors?!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Doors are the cornerstone of our
adventuring society."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He puffs and pushes Ezra aside,
heading back into the room.
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+4 => 12 + 4 = 16
* Jenna Callahan rubs her head, looking at the
hallway.
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Doors are bridges."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I don't trust you..."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra: that is a totally normal door.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Bridges to adventuring. And hospital
fees."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I don't buy it.
|

Bernard Blackbrass:

"I volunteer to open this door...
...jjjeennaaahhh... Jenna."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"But the last normal door broke my
head."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hey, go mind poke it."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:

"Me?!"

|
Veilwar:

"
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"It's all made of iron and stuff!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Blow it up just to be- oh. Damn."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Look, it doesn't even have a lock!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Is it locked then
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar sprints up to the large iron
door and pushes it open.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Way to go li'l guy!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It swings open cleanly, nothing
happening.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Awww."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
is it the boss level now
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is, yet again, another room.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This one has 4 passages out!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Oh joy, more doors."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Quick question to the party: how much
longer do you want to be in this dungeon?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what an odd question
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
one does not simply walk into more
doors
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I can cut it down a bit if you feel it
gets too long.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
lets say 5 seconds give me my golden
wakizashi
|
|
The Drufle:
|
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, fine.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
it's only felt so long because of
those two weeks
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
yeah i'm totally down with skipping to
the forest dungeon
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
gold weapons are shit
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah thats true.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
also a golden wakizashi would be
useless
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
let the others vote though
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
be careful what you wish for
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I'll leave it for now.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
this is a fantasy setting!
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
No, golden desert eagles are good.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
gold is better than iron right
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
I'm fine with anything
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
They show that you're a good marksman.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
let's skip to the oedipus complex
|
|
The Drufle:
|
If you hurry up, you can probably
finish this dungeon tonight.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
the best dundeon
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
dungeon
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Narseus has to level up more to get
the golden revolver.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This room is unusually intricate.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Columns line the northern end, carved
out of the same dark gray rock as the rest of this place.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
do we get EXP
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
do I get roleplay exp
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The door to your left is made of solid
iron, looking much more tough than the last one.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
we should leave that till the end of
the session
|
|
The Drufle:
|
We're not using exp anymore.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
wut
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I did mention that didn't I.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
no.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Please tell me I said that.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
not even a bit
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I am incensed.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ok fine i'll do a quick explanation.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Since these monsters give absurd
amounts of exp and I don't want you guys to be like level 7 by the
time you leave this dungeon
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I've decided to do event-based
levelling.
|
Brass is disconnected.
Brass is disconnected.
|
The Drufle:
|
Every time the party does something I
feel is significant, everyone gets a free level.
|
Ezra is disconnected.
Ezra is disconnected.
Satonakaja is disconnected.
Golurk is disconnected.
Golurk is disconnected.
Ezra has connected.
Satonakaja has connected.
Golurk has connected.
|
The Drufle:
|
That was an internet disaster.
|
Brass has connected.
|
The Drufle:
|
That never happened.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(make sure you re-impersonate)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Story-based exp.
|
|
Satonakaja:
|
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(right click > impersonate)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Instead of getting levels based on how
much exp you get from mobs, you get levels whenever the party
accomplishes something I believe is significant.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This is just so you guys aren't level
7 by the end of this dungeon.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Seriously, you level way too fast.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I feel like the exp was meant to be
split after all
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(it totally is)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I think so, but then it would be way
too slow.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*facepalm*
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I did the calculations.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Im thinking, if you get 50 people to
kill a troll, then all of them get a bunch of exp and go to level
70 or whatever
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You guys would still be at level 1 if
I split it.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
probably isn't that right
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, whatever.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
We're doing it story-based now.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
anyway that's fine with me
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Less numbers that way, and it'll feel
more appropriate.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So this room!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That iron door to the left seems
incredibly thick, and is quite ornate.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The door to your right is another bone
door, and it seems quite well-woven.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And the opening to the upper left is
just an archway, albeit a strangely well-made one.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Let's look through the archway there
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The hallways seem to be getting more
polished, as if they are being kept more cleanly.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Another door around here. I think it
goes into the same room as that iron one."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
zombie janitors
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Whats that door made of?"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Well, if there's two doors, I bet one
is trapped."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The top door?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
yes
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Quite thin, but bone.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Oh look, that one is much easier to
open."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
At this point you note that all the
bone doors seem to be taking their bones from similar creatures.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Do you think it's that obvious?"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Usually if something is that obvious,
it's not trapped."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Because they want you to think it's a
trap."
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Or maybe they want to lure you into a
false sense of security, and they're both trapped."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"That seems like so much effort!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Maybe they expected us to think this."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar is still skittering about
excitedly, not really listening.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Anyway I'm going to inspect the bone
door.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Open a DOOR open a door!"
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+4 => 1 + 4 = 5
|
The Drufle:
|
It looks like some sort of white blur.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
and then the iron one
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+4 => 2 + 4 = 6
|
The Drufle:
|
It seems like a gray blur.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Ergh, I'm still woozy from the rock."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Someone else take a look."
|
|

|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"So it WAS a double bluff!"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Look, there are runes on this top
bit."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Magical, eh? That's more elegent than
these last ones."
|

"And this decor is much nicer too."

The Drufle:
|
Veilwar looks at the bone door, and
decides it's fine.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Well, I suppose we know which door we
won't be taking. . ."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He's going to open it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Will anyone try to stop him?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"No, we've got to discuss this for a
while!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Nah I guess not
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He stares at you defiantly, and
reaches to open the door.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The bone door crumbles at his touch,
and nothing happens.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"You're so grounded."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Wow, what a terrible door!"
|
* Veilwar cackles and runs inside.
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hey!"
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"It. . . disintigrate- oh my."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Calm down, already, you're going to
set something off."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Now, this is an interesting room that
Ezra sees.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
does it have a hot tub
|
|
The Drufle:
|
A table sits to the left made of
wrought iron, covered in various alchemical tools.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
A cauldron sits at the south end,
bubbling with a greenish ooze over a still-burning fire.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Potions and other such hang on the
wall, and the room is quite hot.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar is cheering madly, grabbing up
things and stuffing them in his bag.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"A cauldron, eh?"
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
hot tub
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I wonder if Ghost Tekton knows anything
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
its a hot tub
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"It looks like someone lives here. . ."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Is the little punk messing with
things again?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hey, Veilwar, what's cooking in here?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There's your picture by the way.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"So much fun, so many EXPLOSIONS"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He seems quite preoccupied with the
stuff on the table, ignoring the cauldron.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Well, I guess if he doesn't care, it's
not explosive.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Good thinking!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Still, it's totally green.
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Here, let me see."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Green can mean health thoguh right,
it's green in games sometimes
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but then its sometimes red
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"How does all of this work?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
What knowledge would this be I wonder.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Why is there no arcana that's weird.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar doesn't answer your question,
by the way.
|
|
|
Ezra:

The Drufle:
|
We'll just use a different knowledge
check.
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Oh, incredible!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
im so glad that ghost tekton, is
completely official canonical, and he really was a giant back then
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"It's a destruction catalyst!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but was that sentence canon, no one
knows
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar, hearing this, suddenly turns.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"What does that mean?"
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Destruction?!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I block him off though
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Watch it!"
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Now what exactly is a Destruction
Catalyst?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Booms are nice but not when we go
boom."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"It's a ritualistic mixture that is
supposed to be able to destroy anything!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"That...sounds powerful."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"I didn't think anyone would want to
do that though."
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
".That. . . sounds terrible."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"It is!"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"I wish I could take some with me!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
How's it sitting in that cauldron
though
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Whoever is here must really want to
get rid of something."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
is it ~~magic~~
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"How do we take some?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The cauldron is enchanted to resist
the ritual.
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"We can't!"
|
|

Golurk:

drink it

Ezra:

"How were they planning to use it I
wonder."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"It vaporizes whatever it touches,
unless it's been specifically enchanted not to vaporize from it."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Also who the hell are they."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
prison break?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"We probably shouldn't mess with this,
unless we really have to."

hallways clean?"

Ezra:

"Hey I...I made some poison once! Back
in ninja high school."

The Drufle:

He grabs a few more potions from the
wall and heads out the door, flipping the party the finger.

|
Golurk:

The Drufle:

He is clearly not in a good mood.

"Yeah, trhere's nothing left in here
anyway."

The Drufle:

So, west through the hallway or east
through the other bone door?
|
|

Ezra:
|
Peek around the corner there
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar's corner?
|
|

Ezra:
|
of course

The Drufle:

You hear gurgling.

Okay, I'll walk back to the party

The Drufle:

Yeah, I'd stealth check.

Just to make sure.

The Drufle:

Pour the cauldron out?

Ezra:
|
No.

|
|
Ezra:
|
well
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Watch how deep it goes!"
|
|
|
Ezra:

I guess it'd melt the floor
|

The Drufle:

I hope you understand the
repercussions of that.

So many people to impersonate.

Golurk:

The Drufle:

Veilwar impatiently goes to open the
door.

Ezra:

oh god
|

The Drufle:
|
Jenna smacks his hand away.
|

|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Slow down, you!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He mutters and sulks away.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyone else want to perception the
door?
|

The Drufle:

Or should the party head west?

Brass doesn't see anything weird about
the door.
|

Ezra:

can i identify the grumbling
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
probably not
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You can, actually.
|
|
The Drufle:

Roll a planar knowledge check.

The Drufle:
|
If Ezra can describe it, he could
attempt to recognize it.
|
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
ezra was a guy all along
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Sort of a...*grumble*"
|
|
The Drufle:

So if you make a good enough diplomacy
and then he makes a planar knowledge.

I am such a diplomat

thats why i just stab everything

infernal grumbling.

Golurk:

Golurk:

yay
|

The Drufle:

Probably a low level devil or
hell-creature.

The Drufle:
|
So, left or right?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Hmm, can't be too strong, then."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"But there could be a load of them."
|

The Drufle:

Whatever you heard, it was fairly
quiet, Ezra.

Ezra:
|
Well, maybe like, 3 or 4 taking a
lunch break or something
|

Ezra:

reading OK! magazine

The Drufle:

Left or right?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
If you don't choose, Veilwar will.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I think we should go left, and I can
possibly scout ahead.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
While you all stay close by
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are satona and sneaky still awake?
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
Yep!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Didn't you just roll for Sneaky there
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Not sure how long he's been gone
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
I think the "throw the ninja in front"
strategy will work fine.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That's enough votes.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra, run ahead.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Make a stealth check though.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Have the party move to a close range
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but far enough not to be heard
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
they're all tipey toes
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That should be good.
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+12 => 3 + 12 = 15
|
The Drufle:
|
That is not very stealthy, but still
good enough.
|

You don't need to roll for each tile.

Ezra:

solid ezra

The Drufle:

Ezra:

you need a box of hiding
|
|
|
Golurk:

|
|
|
Golurk:
|
lemures
|
|
The Drufle:
|
She sees two freakish creatures at the
other side of the room!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I've got the icon just fine
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
those are lemurs
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
you are being attacked by angry lemurs
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
throw them fruit
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They seem to be giant blobs of roiling
flesh and fat, at the moment not entirely awake.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
appease the lemurs
|
* Jenna Callahan whispers "What's going on?"
|
|
Ezra:
|
Let me describe them to the party
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+8 => 5 + 8 = 13
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Big ugly sack things."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You describe them fairly well,
considering what you saw.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
". . .living sacks?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"They're sleeping, I think."
|
|
|
Golurk:

i bet freudicon has ballsacks as
minions too

Jenna Callahan:
|
"Well that just sounds awful."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Let's go kill them!"
|

Ezra:
|
"Anyone heard of them?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass would have, if he were awake.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Living sackthings!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Lure them here, they aren't bright!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass knows from Ezra's description of
their sound and appearance that these creatures are probably
Lemures.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
that's their scientific name
|
|
The Drufle:
|
If he wants to know any more he should
do a knowledge check.

Golurk:
|
ghost tekton is a good pokedex

Planar, specifically.

Ezra:

Then I could poof invisible, and you
can make a noise to lure them to you.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass suddenly has an influx of
knowledge from past reading.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
then we murderlise them
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Lemures are the absolute bottom of
devils, made from newly arrived souls.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They are the grunt workers of Hell,
barely able to move from their position but carrying unusual
strength.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So, attacking them works!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Does the party want to attack them?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
1 sec
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
right um
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you going to go sneak attack?

Ezra:

I'll stealth over then

One more stealth.

The Drufle:
|
Yeah, you're basically invisible.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
After I attack, make a noise or
something.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Not you, God
|
* The Drufle rolls to you: 2d10+2 => 5 + 2 = 7
* You roll to the GMs: 2d10+2 => 5 + 2 = 7

I stab, then use Vanishing Trick right
after.

Ezra:
|
(I'll be invisible for 3 rounds or
until I attack."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
you should talk to them since you're
both evil
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So roll to hit and then to damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That is true, I suppose.
|
* Ezra rolls: 1d20+7 => 17 + 7 = 24
|
|
Golurk:
|
ghost tekton's ghost tip # 58

* Ezra rolls: 1d6 => 4
* Ezra rolls: 2d6 => 2

The Drufle:
|
Alright, it takes 6 damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The flesh bubbles and swirls around
the blade, and the creature groans in pain.

|
|
Ezra:
|
is it actually sleeping because i
think that's a coup thing?

|
Hina Takahashi:
|
SNEAK ATTACK

The Drufle:
|
It isn't actually sleeping no.
|
|

Ezra:
|
just not paying attention!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They are just very lazy creatures.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
dumb demon!!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
bad!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Hina yells 'SNEAK ATTACK'
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
just so we're clear
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, she can move herself wherever.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This counts as a surprise round so
I'll give the party a chance to position themselves.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I'll just put them here for now.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
If satona or brass want to move
somewhere else, they may do so.

Veilwar goes first!

The Drufle:

So, bomb or no bomb...

The Drufle:

Man, Hina made this hard.

The Drufle:

Now I can't just indiscriminately
explode the north wall.

do it anyway

Ezra:

so i vote no on that one

The Drufle:

Well, splash damage is 7.

The Drufle:

For these bombs.

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Wait."
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"What?!"
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Explosions can be now!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass should probably mention to
Veilwar that lemures are immune to fire.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He doesn't know that.
|
|

Bernard Blackbrass:
|
If I don't know it, that's OH RIGHT
DEVILS

Bernard Blackbrass:

"Hina is in the way."

The Drufle:
|
Veilwar doesn't know it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass sure does.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Of course, Brass likes explosions
enough to let the little guy do them anyway.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Just, not yet.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Bet this is how he got caught.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Blargh, fine!"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He puts away his bomb casings, looking
for other things in his pockets.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ooh, this will be fun.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar pulls out a small, glowing
vial.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And drains it down his throat.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
His eyes twitch a bit, and suddenly
his arms grow in size, his muscles thickening.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I am of course silent, so as not to
blow my cover.

|
|
Veilwar:

"STAB KILL!"

The Drufle:
|
Veilwar hops upon the lemure's back,
viciously stabbing his dagger into the blobby creature.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It roars in pain, and throws the
wayang back to the ground.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar's eyes twitch as he spins his
dagger in his hand, grinning maniacally.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And, now the lemure gets some revenge.

The Drufle:
|
If he's still around.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Hina, move to your right."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
She can't really move on your turn.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, that works.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And now, I swing with the huge axe.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
actually
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
let's add that one.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Add the lemure to your collective?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Who knows. They might respond to
telepathy.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'm curious, can Hina cleave them both
like that?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Can probably scare it into my bidding.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
or do they have to be near each other
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They have to be adjacent.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, well.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You add the lemure to your collective,
and you hear lots of gurgling and screams and not much of interest.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It doesn't seem to be particularly
sentient.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So, anything else?
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
make it dance
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
*Listen to me*, I tell it in Infernal.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It doesn't respond verbally, but it
does turn to you with an odd glare.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And now we drop Ezra to contact the
other one. But to the first one, *Wait there*, pointing to the
entryway.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It doesn't move, continuing to stare
at you.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Hm."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(im sorry were you talking to me there)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(No.)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(I dropped you to make room for the
second Lemure.)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Ezra feels a little disconnected, but
isn't too concerned.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
404 error
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anything else Brass?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
(Also I realized adding to the
collective is a standard action)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Psionnet
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
To both of them, *Halt.*
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
they dont have intelligence scores
|
|
The Drufle:
|
(So yeah no extra stuff)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
No they don't.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That is true, but Brass doesn't know
that.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
However, they do respond to telepathic
commands.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The lemures both stare at you, glaring.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
No he wouldn't know that.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
didnt he pokedex entry them earlier
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
spoilers!!!
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Brass does not glare back. These
ignorant lesser beings are easy enough to meet.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
are these the new pokemon
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
god, they're just a muk ripoff
|

Golurk:

The Drufle:

Alright, next turn then.

Golurk:

The Drufle:

But otherwise does nothing.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is now Hina's turn!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
So are you done convincing or should
Hina attack the other one?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
or maybe hina will just go for it
anyway
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Please, be my guest."
|

Ezra:

its hinas choice ~~~~
|

Bernard Blackbrass:

Actually was kind of hoping she'd do
that.
|

Ezra:

hina ditches the party and joins the
circus
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Murder is always a good choice.
|
|
The Drufle:

Evil, you know.
|
|

Hina Takahashi:
|
Hina goes for the offending evilsack's
flesh with her reinvigorated strength!
|

But using them is better.

That's the point.
|
|
The Drufle:

Ok, let's see here.
|

|
Hina Takahashi:
|
um
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
i think
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Well, actually the point isn't to 'be
evil'.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
hina dealt too much damage
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what happened
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
It's to get my work done.
|
|

Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Our work.

|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
hina hit the enemy SO HARD
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
that it broke the macro
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ok, I have no clue what happened.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But she rolled a 13.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
+5 makes 18, you hit.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And it seems to be 13 damage.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Hina's sword cleaves right through the
lemure, slicing it in twain.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It shrieks and melts to the floor as a
puddle of flesh.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Eugh."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also, Brass does not feel good.

Move or something?

That would be weird.

No point in her moving.

The Drufle:

Seeing that the lemure is quite weak,
she pulls her bow and tries to snipe it.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
she has a bow?? fancy
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
just like the amazons
|
|
The Drufle:

She's always had a shortbow.

Has anyone ever actually confirmed a
crit?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I don't recall that ever happening.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'm sure I did, I get a +2 to it
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well either way, the lemure dies.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The arrow pierces its head, and it
falls to the ground as a lump.
|
Hina Takahashi has received initiative.
|
|
Ezra:
|
how much damage was that?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Doesn't matter.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but im...curious.......
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It had so little health she couldn't
have not killed it.
|

The Drufle:

There, happy.

Ezra:

I was wondering how much bows do. :B

The Drufle:

They have x3 crits though, which is
nice.

If they ever crit.

It's a normal iron door, narrower than
the others but with the same reinforcing.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyone want to open it?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar will if nobody else does.
|
|
|
Ezra:

Have the others step back
|
|

Ezra:

Open it~
|

It swings open and nothing happens.
|

Whats this then??
|

Ezra:

A room!?

This is a library!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Oh..."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Cool."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The west and east walls are covered
with bookshelves crammed with various colors and sizes of books.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Ezra examines some of the books.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You cannot read any of these books.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They are all written in some language
you do not understand.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Who's got a lot of languages?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
get in here already
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass has like 9.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Let me go see if he actually knows
this language.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
its german isn't it
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Wow, he does.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass flips open a book and recognizes
the language inside as Ignan, language of the fire elementals.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Why he knows that, I have no clue.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Looking through some of the books he
figures that they are various rituals, tomes, and other weird
information on planar stuff.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Huh."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"What's with all the books?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"What's it say?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
are there pictures
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There are, but they are rather unusual.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Various runes and spell components.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Nothing you'd probably recognize.
|
|
|
Golurk:

|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Looks like something..."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"...we can sell later!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Of course, Brass doesn't really
explain what's inside.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, I guess that's true.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
do i get back in the mind club yet
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Brass does understand what they say,
for the most part.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Oh, right.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar continues running around the
bookshelves, trying to find something he can read.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Spoiler: he doesn't.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I guess Hina's too COOL for books
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
fine she can stand watch
|
|
The Drufle:
|
She's just kinda hiding.
|
|

Bernard Blackbrass:

|

Ezra:
|
"This behaviour is totally justified."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Yeah okay."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Do you guys want to perception to find
traps or anything?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Start stamping your library cards,
kiddies."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or is that idea not happening.
|
|

Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Take 20.

We'll be here a while.

I think Veil has the highest modifier?
|

Well, I suppose you could take 20,
yeah.

I'm not a huge fan of the idea.

|
|
The Drufle:

He notices that the upper left corner
of the room is mysteriously devoid of bookshelf.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And that the wall's stones are rougher
along the corner.
|

Ezra:

Ezra:

What could that mean?

Veilwar:

"Missing books!?"

Ezra:
|
I mean, it's a library, so I'm
assuming secret passage.
|

The Drufle:
|
He runs up to the wall and starts
banging at it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It makes an oddly hollow sound.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
so whats his wisdom score
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, it's usually 15.
|
|
The Drufle:

At the moment it's 13.

It's still 15.

we found the ginant spide

running from the door to the left book case, and grabs a single
book from the bookcase.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
wow i can't type
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The wall falls into the floor,
revealing an opening behind.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That spot there is a secret door.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Behind the wall is a short hallway,
totally bare...

|
Except for a small pedestal at the end.

|
I activate my suspicious mode.

it's a trap
|

The ornate wooden pedestal stands as
the only decoration in the hallway aside from a few torches.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
On the pedestal is something very
unusual.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It's a deck of playing cards.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Have Brass take a look then
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
oi sneaks
|
|
The Drufle:
|
He can go observe the weird thing
whenever he feels like it.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
maybe he can mind powers them to
himself
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Jenna peeks around him, very curious
about the deck.

|
The Drufle:
|
What was it a roll for?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
perception
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
playing cards??
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
how mysterious
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
After a cursory glance under and
around the cards
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You uh, see a deck of playing cards.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
he picks up the entire deck.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Seriously, there's nothing else.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The deck feels fairly standard to you,
Brass.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I turn off suspicious mode.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And then he looks at the card faces.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
so like playing playing cards and not
tarot cards
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
i like how
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
And wander off.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The box is a nice satiny thin paper.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
all the trapped everything makes us
think everything is a trap
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you going to pull out cards?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Lookin at some books or whatever
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes, yes I am.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
the cards' faces...
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I know what this fucking is.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
One.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
are the faces or the party members!!11
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Just one, alright.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
dun dun duuun
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
*of
|
|
The Drufle:
|
One sec as I find my deck of cards.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I only wish it were Sneaky again.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
So he could draw the skull card.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And win.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
oh
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
ooohh
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
the cards
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
sshhh
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
i think i know what this things is too
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
*thing
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I need to shuffle this, one sec.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, shuffling done.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card you pull is...
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Oh holy shit.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
the draw-4 one
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
lul
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
come on man
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card you pull out has a picture of
a small rabbit on it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is dressed in ornate clothes, and
sits upon a small stool.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
no one even tried identifying it
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
is this the playboy card
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
yes
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You have drawn the Rabbit Prince card.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I point it at
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
oh. That's new.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Now, here's the thing.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Should I tell you what it does?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or is secrecy more interesting.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I think you should just have it take
effect, unless it's something I can control.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I don't know this deck, this is the
new one.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Nothing happens now.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
okay sweet, that's two doomed players.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You feel a strange tingling, but
nothing special.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Hm."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You replace the card in the box,
because you can't do anything else.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
congratulations
|
|
The Drufle:
|
If you don't replace it, it's gonna
happen anyway.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
you have obtained « cancer
= Invalid expression: cancer. »
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also, please nobody look up this deck
online.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Surprise would be much more fun.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Rabbits, eh, sounds lucky."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Off screen, we have a certain someone
going "do it do it do it"
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
too late
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Well..."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I'll put this on your character sheet,
by the way.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
do it do it do it
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"...I get the feeling I should leave
this here, but what do you think?"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It's an ongoing thing.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
well that's
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
everyone should pick a card
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
:}
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Its so interesting, how could you
leave it behind??
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You could, sure.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Does everyone want to grab a card?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Not right now, I'll say.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar, being the absurd nut he is,
runs up to Brass.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Let me try!"
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Let me out first little guy."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
TPK
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
nuke
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Pick a card, any card."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar cackles with glee and yanks a
single card out of the deck.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(though seriously I think Solshine
should make this decision.)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
How bad could it really be
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well yeah, that's true.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar suddenly has a change of heart
and pulls his hand back.
|
|
|
Veilwar:
|
"Cards seem bad..."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I draw two cards. And spend one hero
point.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I will explain this off as his mutagen
just running out.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Let's see what happens.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Nah. 
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
One.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
What's the hero point for?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I'm going to lose any extras anyway.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you going to use it to negate the
card if its bad?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I would use two
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
two cards
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
but you think that's bad!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well one is bad, but hey.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card you pull is...
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Damn right whitey.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I need to figure out how this card
works.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
it kills everyone
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
it kills everyone in a different game
|
|
The Drufle:
|
No, that's silly.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I don't think any card is a super
murder card.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
You know.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ok, I got it.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I wanna see if it was a bad card.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is not a bad card.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"was"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is, in fact, a LG card.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The cards do in fact have alignments.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I forgot that.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
I'm clueless here.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I think we can disregard that then.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This card portrays a person looking
into a small box with a magnifying glass.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The label at the bottom reads "The
Hidden Truth"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Since this is an ability card, I think
I have to tell you.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes you do.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(Oh what do I know?)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(I'm just being a douche.)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what is a douche though
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
its like a thing right
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
some kind of feminine product
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You now have the ability to, one time
only, ask an omniscient spirit for the answer to any question you
have.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
("Can I ask how do I kill Lucifer?"
Aelita: "Sure.")
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Whether or not you can do anything
useful with the information they give you is a different story.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Whoa."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You may use this card's power whenever
you wish, but only once.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"I feel like i'm on some top tier swag
here."
|
* Bernard Blackbrass smiles at Ezra gleefully.
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I can only assume some of these cards
are terrible."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"I agree."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Have you ever heard of anything like
this?"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"These are clearly of some kind of
powerful magic.
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Are there any decks that don't have
terrible cards?"
|
* Bernard Blackbrass gets the odd temptation
to stick one in his mouth.
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"I mean, they hid it behind a secret
door in a shadow temple in the middle of the most inhospitable
continent underground."
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"Brass hasn't exploded or anything
yet, though. So. . ."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
it looks like he's going to do just
that.
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"They did not want us finding it."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you seriously going to do that?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Stick a card in your mouth?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Clearly the plot will save it, as it
will return to the deck. (Right?)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Yes, well, maybe they shouldn't have
put it in a hidden bookcase entrance."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, you can't actually do that.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Mum mum mum."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Those are so common."
|
* Bernard Blackbrass is probably mocking it
now.
|
The Drufle:
|
Once the card's power is realized, it
returns to the deck, whether or not you choose to do so.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"We'll chuck it into a mountain later."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"You should draw!"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I don't know."
|
* Bernard Blackbrass puts a hand on Ezra's
shoulder.
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Just focus."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Jenna glares at Brass, not liking this
at all.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(What you might infer is that i'm
telling you to spend a hero point.)
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
can someone draw for me
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And Veilwar stands behind Ezra, a
little cautious.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(but those are so useful)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Your hands are the fastest i've seen."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Golurk: do you want a card applied to
you when you return?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(we only ever get the one anyway)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(I know. And i'm telling you to use
it.)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(We get one per level.)
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
yeah yeah yeah
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra: you have 3 right now.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what?!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You are aware of that, right.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(Can't hold more than 3.)
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i thought we were villains
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, we can play antihero points.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
so we'd never get any
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
let's call them evil points then
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
what the hell are antihero points
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
fine sure then i'll use a point
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Point is, sometimes fate smiles upon
the evil.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
we replenish them by eating puppies
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Hina: hero points for evil people, I
dunno.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Especially if the evil is sexy.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Is Ezra going to pull a card?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
its points for shadow the hedgehog
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Well, why not, I guess."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Atta girl."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card that Ezra pulls is...
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Ezra picks the right card. (and expels
a point)
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
"The Naked Giraffe"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
A grave omen.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
effect: you become a naked giraffe
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
forever
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card shows a crystal ball on the
front.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It is cracked down the middle, and
both halves show an image.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The label reads "The Vision"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Now, this is an immediate card.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I'm gonna do some secret chatting with
Ezra.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Because she's about to get some
visions.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
!
|
* Bernard Blackbrass grins evilly.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
!
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
she sees our adventures in the oedipus
complex
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
hey ezra does tekton ever get planted
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
more like she sees us all dead
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Oh my.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
i take it I was right
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This is a very powerful card, and as
such the repercussions can be unusual.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
If Ezra decides to divulge this new
information, she may.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Of course, this is going to be on the
log anyway.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Well, that can be fixed.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
she becomes a successful businesswoman
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Will Ezra inform her teammates?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
Is there any reason I wouldn't?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card slips out of your hands and
into the deck, by the way.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I dunno, you're evil?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You want to be selfish?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"What happened?"
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
Is it really embarrassing
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"It was a vision..."
|
* Bernard Blackbrass asks in Infernal, "What
about?"
|
The Drufle:
|
I am keeping track of these cards on
your character sheets, by the way.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I'm a little confused about this."
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"What did you see?"
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"It could be something bad, but I'm
not sure yet."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"But not immediately important."
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"Are you sure?"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"You seemed pretty entranced by that"
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
oof
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"I can't tell if it was all bullshit
or not, though."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Let me have a think about it first."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
"Is anyone else pulling a card, then?"
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"I don't want anything to do with that
thing."
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
yeah someone should pull out
|
|
|
Jenna Callahan:
|
"It seems like bad news."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Veilwar is still quite dubious, but
stands back.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
"I would rather not take such a risk."
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(gettin hella tireds yo)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, such a find would be a good
place to stop.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Does anyone else want to go on?
|
* Bernard Blackbrass turns to Hina with that
friendly chessplayer smile.
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
I'd be okay with stopping
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
"Focus."
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are we really going to draw more cards.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
(its the secret anithero point sign!)
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
. . .
|
* Bernard Blackbrass pats Hina's shoulder.
|
The Drufle:
|
I mean yeah, you have up to three
chances to dispel cards.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
I want to but Hina wouldn't want to
and I think Hina wins that argument :J
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
i dont want to get cut in half
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Roleplaying is excellent.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Besides, I figure with this kind of
luck you'd immediately get one of the evil cards.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
exactly
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
opposites attract
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
and hina is not evil
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, Brass drew an LG and a CN card.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
so she wouldn't get all the good cards
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra drew a CN card.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
ssssssssssshhhh
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
in alternate timeline: hina draws "The
Moon Princess"
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Balance would dictate you'd likely get
something like N.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Do we immediately know the alignments?
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
effect: become princess of the moon
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The alignments aren't really important.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They're just kind of arbitrary
reminders of how good, bad, or crazy the card is.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
These cards aren't sentient, you know.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Just crazy magic.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
hina becomes princess of the moon
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
I already roleplay as one princess of
the moon
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
You can do it.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I might want to go through the deck
and remove any cards that would totally screw up the campaign
though.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
hell naw
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
replace them with moon princess cads
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
have tekton draw one
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Give that to the heroes who inevitably
steal our deck.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Tekton can't draw one.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You must make a verbal command.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
He can draw SEVEN
|
|
The Drufle:
|
To say how many cards you're drawing.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, if no more cards are being drawn.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I think we'll call it a night.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I'll keep this deck.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
Alrighty
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Next time: More dungeon exploring!
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And more card drawing.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
more doors
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
oh hell draw one more why not
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
pfft
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
lets
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
play 52 pick up
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I won't stop you, but
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
house of cards
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That is something I will not allow.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
what would happen if we did that
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
DRAW
|
|
The Drufle:
|
All of the cards would take effect.
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
one of them is instakill
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
It's time to d-d-d-duel
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
on of them is instalife
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
what would happen
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Some of them are really horrible, yeah.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They cancel out?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
instalimbo
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I love limbo!
|
|
|
Golurk:
|
time to goooo
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
wrath of five million gods
|
Golurk is disconnected.
|
The Drufle:
|
So is Brass really taking out another
card?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, sure.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(ee hee hee)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Any excuse to use my Midnight Crew
deck is fine with me.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
You got one of those?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Oh right I remember.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
sweet yo
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Were you serious about me not removing
cards that can seriously screw people up?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, alright.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Of course
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
well, its up to you
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
the death one could be an issue.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I'll describe the card to you and you
decide if you want the hero point.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Okay.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The card shows a person in terrible
agony, with a snake's fangs latched into his arm.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Poison drips from the wound onto the
ground, hissing.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The label reads "The Snakebite".
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
This already sounds hella metal.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This is actually a CE card.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
it gives you a cool tattoo
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
good thing i didn't draw
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Okay too metal.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyone who touches you, with or
without armor, must make a fort save or be poisoned.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
forever
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
OH SHIT
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
that sounds great.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
that is hella metal
|
|
The Drufle:
|
His skin is now literally bursting
with near-lethal poison.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
i'll admit
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
but how will you loooove
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Actually, let me check.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
How bad is greenblood poison.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
yeah, how /will/ you love
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
i'll psion it in somehow
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, here we go.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
uwhghgh
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Greenblood oil allows a fort save.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So people can potentially not get
poisoned.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It does 1 CON damage per round for 4
rounds.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also, Hina: I don't draw from the top.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
jesus
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I take from the middle.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
This is great.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So it wouldn't have really mattered.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Are you keeping The Snakebite?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I just have to run up to people I
don't like
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
and hug them.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
But I know enough to not let /anyone/
touch me.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Anyone I care about.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
huh
|
|
The Drufle:
|
It specifically says anyone who
touches you.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
help i need first aid
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
but if i touch you you'll KILL Me
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So it must be a deliberate attempt on
the other person's part.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Also yeah, any touch spells against
you do activate the poison.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
That could get annoying.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
anyway I think I'll be outtie
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Any?
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Ranged?
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
lay on hands
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Not ranged touch spells, no.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Wands?
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
and then you kill the cleric
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
a ranged touch spell?
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There does need to be physical contact.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
how does that word
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
k
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Meh, I have potions.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
spooooooky ghost haaaaaaaaaand
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ezra: touch spells are just ones that
get past armor.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
This sounds really great for my story.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They don't necessarily have to touch.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
oh
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I'm a fucking poison-on-contact devil
man.
|
|
|
Hina Takahashi:
|
anyway see you laters guys
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Which I forgot.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
See ya, satona.
|
Satonakaja is disconnected.
|
|
Ezra:
|
lets end!
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
with a moral
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Lllllet's stop.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
don't listen to brass, kids
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Or else you end up with poison blood.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
he's creepy now
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You know, honestly.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
eat your heart out gay ben
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
too metal 4 psion college
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
gonna milk this shit and sell it
|
|
The Drufle:
|
This sounds more like an CN than CE.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I mean, this is the most useful CE
card there is.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
poisons pretty evil
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But you guys are evil!
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I could get engulfed and poison the
ooze.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
con damage would probably be a
horrible way to go too
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
drink an acid potion
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
oozes don't know better!
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Con damage is the only ability damage
that straight up kills people.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
All of the other ability damages knock
people out or render them comatose.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i thought if any hit 0 you died
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
And in a change from 3.5e
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i lost all my pretty *falls over*
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
all the damages that aren't con knock
you unconscious too.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Strength used to keep people awake.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(I /think/ Dex knocks you out too.)
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
(Might want to check.)
|
|
The Drufle:
|
STR makes you unconscious, DEX makes
you unable to move, CON kills you, INT makes you comatose, WIS
makes you unconscious, CHA makes yo unconscious.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Okay fine.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
DEX doesn't.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
that cha one is quite odd huh
|
|
The Drufle:
|
So yeah, CON damage is easily the
worst.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, not sure what's up with charisma.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
i can't really think of why for that
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
CHA is knowing the difference between
yourself and things that are not yourself.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
itd be better as like
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I suppose so.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
If you didn't have a CHA score, you
aren't a 'creature'.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
you get major anxiety and cant
interact with anyone else
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
All Oozes know where their bodies end.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, this was an amazingly production
session.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
there's 23 screenshots
|
|
The Drufle:
|
And you still have the other half of
the dungeon!
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Wasn't it?
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
although i got trigger happy withthe
battles this time
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
short though they were
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You got pictures of the important
stuff, right.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
So like
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
of course
|
|
The Drufle:
|
The alchemist's lab, the library, and
the pedestal.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I could get hit by a flurry of blows
from a monk
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
and he gets poisoned 9 times.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
oh wait he's immune isn't he.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Usually, yeah.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Most monks get weird immunities.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
But yes, every time someone touches
you.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Fort save, or greenblood poisoning.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Hina is probably fine.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Hina can touch Brass.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I don't know if it stacks though.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I forgot how poison stacking worked in
PF.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I'll look it up.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You are really lucky though.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
You guys got some of the better cards.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Not the best ones, but still.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Pretty good overall.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I want the card that gives me money.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Money to construct supercomputers and
nukes.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
yes.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
There is a money card, yeah.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Tempted to use that knowledge card
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
to learn how to make WMDs in Drufle
World.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Ok, I'd have to point out.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
when you're done here, save the log
remember
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That omniscience means they know
everything that exists, generally.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They probably wouldn't know how to
make something for which the technology barely has even been
thought of.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Well, they /might/.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
They might, yes.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
ask them what movies they like
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
That's why you have that other clause.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
then go out with them
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
The one that says I might not be able
to act upon it.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Could say I need a "i7 processor."
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Then you got me.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Oh crap, poisons do stack.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Are you sure they have to touch me
first? Sounds pretty significant, what with the 'armor no armor'
bit.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
those crabs'll be shitting themselves
now
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Every additional save they fail
increases duration by 50% and the DC by 2.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Anyone who touches the character must
succeed at a Fortitude save or be poisoned by greenblood oil. The
save DC is equal to 10 + the character's Hit Dice + his
Constitution modifier. This poison affects even those who touch
the character to administer aid or healing magic.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Whoa. That could go up fast.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
double clamp us now assholes
|
|
The Drufle:
|
That is the exact wording of The
Snakebite.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
I might just be reading into it though.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
We gotta paizo this.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Yeah, but how about later.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Yes.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
so we can't heal you with spells now
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Well, you can.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
or heal checks
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Providid you don't have to touch him.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I'll heal myself.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
No more heal checks, yes.
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Like a lone demon.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Heal checks require contact.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
so brooding...
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
I got 20 INT, i'll figure it out.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
and...handsome???
|
|
|
Bernard Blackbrass:
|
Poison fluids.
|
|
|
Ezra:
|
brass-psipai
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Alright, let's stop.
|
|
The Drufle:
|
Everyone out, I'll shut up shop.
|
Ezra is disconnected.
