Igfig: Okay, so
DIEGO_MONTOYA: A CHALLENGER APPEARS
Tunadog: and here is my companion Dogtuna
Tunadog: She will be my assistant
DIEGO_MONTOYA: i still need a name for my dog
Igfig: Before we start, let me teach you how to use Dogtuna
DIEGO_MONTOYA: hmmm
Igfig: Dogtuna tracks your pool of dice, and whenever you roll it goes in there
Igfig: so
Richard: oh wait its dogtuna like fortuna but dog
Igfig: 6d6
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 6]
Richard: not a dog tuna fish
Igfig: yes
Igfig: 2d10
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 4, 6, 7]
Jacob_Krieg: Alright.
Richard: so it adds whenever you add a new roll?
Igfig: yes
Richard: I assume theres some "clear"
Richard: keyword that wipes it
Igfig: Now, you can send instructions in capital letters
Richard: 1d6
Fortuna: Richard's pool is [6]
Richard: 2d6
Fortuna: Richard's pool is [1, 6, 6]
Richard: aah
Richard: okay
Richard: 1d100
Fortuna: Richard's pool is [1, 6, 6, 54]
Richard: woo
Igfig: the instructions available are RAISE, SEE, END, GIVE, and possibly HELP but I forgot to test that last one so don't use it
Igfig: RAISE 2 2
Fortuna: Raised 4. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 7]
Igfig: SEE 1
Fortuna: That was not enough to see a raise of 4, Igfig.
Igfig: SEE 4
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 4! Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 6, 7]
Igfig: RAISE 1
Fortuna: Raised 5. Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 6, 7]
Jacob_Krieg: 3d6
Fortuna: Jacob_Krieg's pool is [6, 6, 6]
Raphael: wow
Jacob_Krieg: Darn, wish I had kept those rolls.
Raphael: this is going to take some practice
Raphael: what language is fortuna coded in ig?
Igfig: Python
Igfig: When you GIVE, you are ending a conflict on your terms, before all your dice are gone
Raphael: aah
Raphael: I never learned that
Raphael: so END
Raphael: END
Fortuna: Raphael's pool has been cleared.
Raphael: AS I THOUGHT
Igfig: it's a pretty nice and simple language
Raphael: I learned c# which is ugh
Jacob_Krieg: End just straight up clears it, give lets you keep the highest roll from that pool right?
Raphael: and just # 
Raphael: whih is UGH GUHG
Igfig: when you GIVE, you get to keep one die for any follow-up conflict that might occur
Igfig: yeah
Igfig: oh, also
Jacob_Krieg: GIVE
Fortuna: Jacob_Krieg Gave, saving a 6.
Jacob_Krieg: ENd
Jacob_Krieg: END
Fortuna: Jacob_Krieg's pool has been cleared.
Jacob_Krieg: Alrighty.
Igfig: SEE 1 2 6
Fortuna: Igfig, please specify the Fallout dice received when you Take the Blow
Igfig: SEE 1 2 6 FALLOUT 4
Fortuna: Took the Blow for 9. Igfig's pool is [7]
Igfig: When you Take the Blow by Seeing with three or more dice
Alphonse: wait whats that fallout work
Alphonse: was that a command
Jacob_Krieg: Give him time to explain.
Igfig: you'll have to specify the dice size for the fallout you take, by using the syntax I showed above
Alphonse: oh alright
Alphonse: can you roll it seperately?
Jacob_Krieg: He's getting there he's getting there.
Igfig: d4s if you're just talking, d6 if you're fighting unarmed, d8 if it's a weapon but not a gun, d10 if it's a gun
Igfig: Fallout gets rolled automatically at the end of the conflict
Jacob_Krieg: So when Igfig does END now it should roll it.
Igfig: Indeed
Igfig: END
Fortuna: Igfig received fallout: [1, 2, 4].
Fortuna: Igfig's pool has been cleared.
Paul: "NickServ	If you do not change within one minute, I will change your nick."
Paul: Make me Nickserv
Paul: I am lord of this channel
Paul: You have no power here
Alphonse: this is nice
Alphonse: well done ig thats a nice bit of coding
Igfig: We'l talk more about Fallout when it comes up in-game
Igfig: Thankee
Igfig: The code is actually super hacky right now
Alphonse: *butters up the DM*
Alphonse: ig is that a new haircut?
Alphonse: you look great
Guest25163: aaaaaaaaaaw
Igfig: because I did not have much time to do it, and also had no internet for most of it
Alphonse: well if we're all ready
Alphonse: ben isnt here
Igfig: and remember, do not use the HELP command
Alphonse: but for now we can do the I hope's
Igfig: it might work, but it might just crash DOgtuna
Alphonse: i'm sorry I can't read it as Dogtune
Alphonse: I only read it as dog-tuna
Igfig: I know
Igfig: ANyway, yes, time for the Accomplishments
Igfig: who would like to go first
Jacob_Krieg: Does Dogtuna still have some of the prior Fortuna commands?
Jacob_Krieg: Like the <3 one?
Paul_the_Dog: I step forward with confidence
Igfig: maybe, I'm not sure
Alphonse: fuck you dogtuna
Alphonse: nope
Jacob_Krieg: <3 Dogtuna
Igfig: <3 Fortuna
Paul_the_Dog: "Paul. Reporting for duty sir."
Igfig: guess not then
Alphonse: wait paul you know how this part works right
Jacob_Krieg: Alrighty.
Igfig: First of all, who is Paul again
Igfig: Delf?
Paul_the_Dog: I am Tunadog
Alphonse: yes
Paul_the_Dog: Lord of this channel
Igfig: okay
Igfig: Paul, what thing did you hope to accomplish during your training
Paul_the_Dog: I hope that I gained the trust of my fellow dogs
Paul_the_Dog: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LtG52x-Rtc2G8BozC2heldawgrIgiCJIt84KlqS5Wjg/edit
Paul_the_Dog: That is my sheet
Igfig: Hmm okay, let's set the stage
Igfig: btw, if anybody has a good idea for this go ahead and shout it out, I am just going to make something up off the cuff
Alphonse: thhat stands for all of the game btw
Igfig: yes
Alphonse: if you have an idea for the setting or enviroment or anything tell us
Igfig: particularly now though
Jacob_Krieg: So he wants to gain our trust specifically, and this takes place during the training?
Alphonse: not our trust specifically
Alphonse: we could be years apart in training
Jacob joined #pwot_dnd.
Alphonse: just his fellow trainees or mentors
Paul_the_Dog: We are in training together
Jacob: Do we have two Jacobs?
Jacob_Krieg: I'm assuming on that part, so makes sense that I may e wrong, and also I think I need to change my name then.
Igfig: Hah Alphonse, you keep saying what I am about to say
Alphonse: we are not in training together
Alphonse: because we are different ages
Paul_the_Dog: Ah
Jacob_Krieg: I didn't entirely remember if there was already a Jacob or not, I just tossed that one in cause I'm having a terrible time of thinking stuff up character wise yet.
Guest22528: I don't know if I ever posted it in Skype, I just threw it on my sheet on Thursday.
Guest22528: I DON'T WANNA BE GUEST22528. That's not a very Mormon name at all.
Jacob_Krieg: Yar, so you get it cause I literally tossed it on my sheet an hour ago at most.
Jacob_Krieg: Firstname_Krieg
Alphonse: how about Edward
Igfig: Okay, I'm having a hard time thinking of a good scenario...
Guest22528: Now it's not letting me go back to just Jacob.
Igfig: hmm
Alphonse: Ig, how about in the academy or whatever
Alphonse: a bunch of trainees are giving paul a hard time
Alphonse: and a mentor turns away
Alphonse: so paul needs to prove his resolve to them
Firstname_Krieg: Heck, I know.
Alphonse: maybe in hand to hand combat training or osmething
Igfig: Resolve is different from trust, I'd say
Firstname_Krieg: Wait, I don't know.
Alphonse: maybe but full trust from a single action is hard
Paul_the_Dog: Well, I killed 3 dogs. When I refer to trust, I mean that they trust me not to turn on them
Firstname_Krieg: Was thinking maybe just go with Peter, but using my own name as my name just seems weird.
Alphonse: so proving resolve would be a step in a long process
Igfig: Also, important thing to remember: I take the side of the forces of change, Paul takes the side of the status quo
Igfig: Choose something more old-timey sounding
Igfig: Daniel
Firstname_Krieg: Yeah.
Igfig: Nathaniel
Igfig: Spaniel
Jacob_Quinn: I think Ben's name is Daniel.
Jacob_Quinn: Maniel.
Igfig: Methuselah
Alphonse: only if he's 200 years old
Alphonse: for that name
Firstname_Krieg: Methuselah is a mouthful.
Alphonse: shorten it to "Meth"
Firstname_Krieg: My mouth makes me mumble at the mention of Methuselah.
Igfig: man, imagine if someone named you methuselah
Jacob_Quinn: Melchezedek. 
Igfig: the presure you would be under not to die early
Alphonse: Igfig how about if someone gets injured and paul helps keep him alive
Jacob_Quinn: Or is it Melchizedek?
Alphonse: the second 
Jacob_Quinn: Point is, that guy.
Igfig: Maybe... I was thinking something like a "there's a guy hanging off a cliff, and paul shouts "Give me your hand!"
Firstname_Krieg: Maybe Malachi.
Jacob_Quinn: That'd be good.
Alphonse: and has to prove that the guy can trust him
Alphonse: that will work
Jacob_Quinn: Sounds weird with "Krieg," though.
Igfig: Except the problem is that then Delf is playing the wrong side of the conflict, right?
Alphonse: Frederic?
Jacob_Quinn: Granted, I don't know what last name pairs WELL with "Malachi."
Alphonse: maybe not ig
Igfig: oh wait no
Alphonse: if the guy doesnt trust him
Firstname_Krieg: Well, Krieg would be my father's last name, Malachi would probably be what the mother named me.
Igfig: right
Alphonse: yeah
Alphonse: does that work then?
Igfig: this is an accomplishment, not a matter of personal growth
Igfig: yeah, ok then
Alphonse: OKAY
Igfig: So the situation is, you were out riding with some of the other trainees
Jacob_Quinn: How about Mordecai?
Alphonse: hop into skype to talk aout this now
Jacob_Quinn: Mordecai Krieg sounds pretty cool.
Paul_the_Dog: While arguing about what they should call their character in some nerdy tabletop game, one of the riders falls off
Igfig: but it started raining, and in the desert you know how fast the floods start
Igfig: one of your companions, a young woman, has her horse swept out from under her by a sudden wave
Igfig: and now she's hanging on to the crumbling side of the riverbed as the water tries to pull her away
Igfig: you reach out your hand, but she looks in your eyes and you see her hatred and disgust
Igfig: (she doesn't like mountain people)
Paul_the_Dog: (I totally killed her father or best friend or something)
Igfig: and go
Paul_the_Dog: (Oh)
Igfig: there
Igfig: 4d6
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [2, 4, 5, 5]
Igfig: 4d10
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 5, 8]
Paul_the_Dog: so now what do I roll
Igfig: You're just talking right now I think, so Acuity + Heart
Paul_the_Dog: 3d6
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool is [3, 3, 6]
Paul_the_Dog: 2d6
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool is [1, 3, 3, 4, 6]
Igfig: and you start
Igfig: you will probably have to bring in some relationships and traits to make this work
Igfig: ...In retrospect maybe Waffle shoulda gone first to demonstrate
Igfig: oh well!
Paul_the_Dog: Oh well
Paul_the_Dog: "Hanna! Grab my hand!"
Paul_the_Dog: RAISE 3 1
Fortuna: Raised 4. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [3, 4, 6]
Igfig: "Why, so you can throw me into the river?"
Igfig: SEE 4
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 4! Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 5, 8]
Paul_the_Dog: How do I bring in relationships?
Igfig: gimme a sec, it's still my turn
Igfig: "Better I died on my own, and spared your soul another sin."
Igfig: RAISE 5
Fortuna: Raised 9. Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 3, 5, 5, 8]
Igfig: well shit
Igfig: she died again
Igfig: oh wait
Igfig: haah
Paul_the_Dog: wha
Igfig: just very slow is all
Igfig: Dogtuna I meant
Paul_the_Dog: DRAT THERE SHE GOES
Paul_the_Dog: INTO THE CANYON
Igfig: I thought she crashed, but she was just beong slow
Paul_the_Dog: SORRY GUYS
Igfig: Anyway
Paul_the_Dog: So, relationships?
Igfig: You can bring in a relationship if it's with your opponent, or if it's what's at stake
Paul_the_Dog: Well crap
Igfig: so your Dogs relationship would definitely apply here
Paul_the_Dog: 2d6
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool is [2, 3, 4, 6, 6]
Igfig: so what's your See
Paul_the_Dog: See 3 6
Paul_the_Dog: (Get out of those flood waters dogtuna)
Paul_the_Dog: Oh
Paul_the_Dog: SEE 3 6
Fortuna: Blocked for 9. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [2, 4, 6]
Igfig: You really should say what you're doing first
Igfig: so you can bring in traits before you roll
Igfig: but anyway
Paul_the_Dog: "Hanna! I've served the church faithfully since my conversion! I've fed and housed visiting dogs! Trust me! I will not let you fall!"
Paul_the_Dog: RAISE 6 4
Fortuna: Raised 10. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [2]
Igfig: "You never had the chance before!"
Igfig: SEE 5 5
Fortuna: Blocked for 10. Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 3, 8]
Paul_the_Dog: Hmmm
Paul_the_Dog: Can I escalate and grab her hand forcefully?
Igfig: yes but not yet
Igfig: let me raise first
Igfig: Okay, since I had to restart Dogtuna we do not have our rolls any more
Paul_the_Dog: wooo start over
Alphonse: oe
Alphonse: or
Alphonse: just scroll up to see your bank
Igfig: I should really add the ability to specify specific numbers in our rolls
Igfig: I wrote down our pools, at least
Igfig: I had 2 3
Igfig: Paul had 2
Igfig: but was about to escalate
Paul_the_Dog: And you had raised a 9
Igfig: yes
Alphonse: if he escalates to fists
Igfig: probably not fists
Alphonse: wont it be likely he will knock her into the water
Alphonse: then what a flick in the face?
Igfig: more like non-combat physical
Igfig: which is body+heart
Paul_the_Dog: I will totally punch her right in the face
Igfig: so he'd roll body
Alphonse: ahah
Paul_the_Dog: 5d6
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool is [1, 1, 3, 4, 4]
Paul_the_Dog: I escalate and SCREW YOU
Paul_the_Dog: YOU ARE LITERALLY THE WORST
Igfig: if you want to punch her, you would roll Will too
Paul_the_Dog: I STILL CAN'T MATCH
Igfig: you can Take the Blow
Igfig: which is seeing with three or more dice
Alphonse: but that has fallout
Paul_the_Dog: I wince
Igfig: yes
Igfig: fallout isn't so bad
Igfig: necessarily
Paul_the_Dog: And grab her arm and yank her up
Paul_the_Dog: SEE 4 4 1
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog, please specify the Fallout dice received when you Take the Blow
Paul_the_Dog: NEVER
Igfig: it'd be a 4 I guess
Paul_the_Dog: So what do I do
Igfig: you'd say SEE 4 4 1 FALLOUT 4
Mordecai_Krieg: It was her words that hurt him, so a 4 makes sense.
Paul_the_Dog: SEE 4 4 1 FALLOUT 4
Fortuna: Took the Blow for 9. Paul_the_Dog's pool is [1, 3]
Igfig: and then you raise, but I guess you already described that
Paul_the_Dog: I grab her arm and yank her up
Igfig: yeah
Paul_the_Dog: RAISE 1 3
Fortuna: Raised 4. Paul_the_Dog's pool is []
Paul_the_Dog: I'm going to lose
Paul_the_Dog: Screw you dogtuna for giving me terrible roles
Paul_the_Dog: seriously
Igfig: She struggles as you grab her
Igfig: see 2 3
Igfig: but she is now out of dice
Alphonse: so she cant raise
Alphonse: so technicaly paul wins
Igfig: indeed
Paul_the_Dog: WOOO
Igfig: so you pull her out despite her struggling
Igfig: she collapses on the ground, gasping for breath
Paul_the_Dog: I look at her, my eyes watering
Paul_the_Dog: And ride off
Igfig: and as she looks up at you, you see a glimmer of "huh, maybe he's not quite as cartoonishly evil as I thought"
Alphonse: thats a specific look in her eye
Igfig: her eyes are very expressive
Paul_the_Dog: She is a cyborg
Alphonse: so paul gets a trait from that right?
Paul_the_Dog: she can communicate via words in her vision sensors
Igfig: yep. "I gained the trust of my fellow dogs 1d6"
Mordecai_Krieg: You always get a traight from this, he has to end for the flalout though.
Igfig: also you take some fallout
Alphonse: yes remember to END
Mordecai_Krieg: flalout, that's a new one.
Igfig: which I'm just going to roll manually
Igfig: oh wait no
Paul_the_Dog: END
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog received fallout: [3, 3, 3].
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool has been cleared.
Igfig: right
Alphonse: hah
Paul_the_Dog: 1d20
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool is [19]
Paul_the_Dog: oops
Paul_the_Dog: end
Paul_the_Dog: END
Fortuna: Paul_the_Dog's pool has been cleared.
Paul_the_Dog: I totes win everything
Igfig: since there are no conflicts for a while now and the only fallout effects are temporary, we don't have to worry about the details
Igfig: too bad you didn't roll any 1s though
Alphonse: I'll go next
Alphonse: for my hope
Igfig: if you roll a 1 on a fallout roll, you get benefits
Igfig: anyhoo
Igfig: Aright Alphonse, what did you hope to achieve
Igfig: END
Fortuna: Igfig's pool has been cleared.
Alphonse: I hope that Alphonse gained the courage to use a gun after what he did to his brother
Igfig: nice
Alphonse: and for the scenerio unless you have something in mind
Alphonse: maybe a mentor is talking to him in his office trying to convince him to use the gun
Igfig: That's possible
Alphonse: or perhaps wolves or somethign and he has to use the gun or die
Alphonse: or at least be severely wounded
Igfig: it's probably not going to be in a battle, the trainees are kept fairly safe
Igfig: flashflood notwithstanding
Igfig: That said
Igfig: So you were completely unwilling to use a gun at all, right?
Alphonse: yes
Igfig: Aright
Igfig: So your shooting instructor comes to you one day
Igfig: or rather, the shooting instructor
Igfig: not yours per se
Paul_the_Dog: that is slavery igfig
Paul_the_Dog: so not cool
Igfig: and he's all, "Why am I never seeing you at the shooting range when you're supposed to be practicing your aim?"
Igfig: (he is not your instructor because you are not going to his classes)
Igfig: 4d6
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 3, 4]
Igfig: 4d10
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 3, 4, 10, 10]
Igfig: ooch
Alphonse: so acuity and heart?
Alphonse: oof
Igfig: yep
Alphonse: 8d6
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool is [1, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 6]
Alphonse: so is he raising first with that question?
Alphonse: igfig?
Igfig: I was just checking the rules about that
Alphonse: ok
Igfig: It looks like the player is supposed to be the one who raises first (from the examples), but I can't find a rule that actually says that
Igfig: so I think I'll raise, yeah
Alphonse: okah
Igfig: RAISE 4 3
Fortuna: Raised 7. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 10, 10]
Alphonse: "With all due respect sir, you know my history in the territorial army, I do not need target practice"
Alphonse: SEE 5, 2
Fortuna: That was not enough to see a raise of 7, Alphonse.
Alphonse: SEE 5 2
Fortuna: Blocked for 7. Alphonse's pool is [1, 1, 2, 4, 6, 6]
Igfig: also, I don't remember what you settled on with the story of the matter of your brother
Alphonse: "Would it not be better to use this extra time for my studies of the scripture? Or to practice other endeavors?"
Igfig: oh well, I guess this guy doesn't know that either
Alphonse: RAISE 4 1
Fortuna: Raised 5. Alphonse's pool is [1, 2, 6, 6]
Igfig: "I do know your history. And that's exactly why I'm concerned."
Igfig: SEE 10
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 10! Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 3, 10]
Alphonse: ouch
Jacob_Quinn quit.
Igfig: good play forcing me to use a 10 to see your 5, though
Paul_the_Dog: "instructor
Alphonse: thank you thats how I was thinking
Paul_the_Dog: "INSTUCTOR! YOU KILLED JACOB"
Alphonse: "GOOD"
Igfig: "Being /able/ to shoot don't mean a thing if you can't bring yourself to /do/ it."
Igfig: RAISE 3
Fortuna: Raised 13. Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2, 10]
Igfig: heheh, I'm so mean
Alphonse: can I use my excellent shot trait here
Alphonse: I feel as if it applies if I am going to continue to lie about why I wont shoot
Igfig: Yes you can, if you can fit it into the text of this See. Would have worked better last turn, I think.
Jacob_Quinn joined #pwot_dnd.
Alphonse: yaeh I just realized that
Igfig: ok
Alphonse: so I put in my see first?
Alphonse: then I can roll it?
Paul_the_Dog: "Jacob you're alive!
Igfig: the text first, then you roll, then you put forward the dice for your see
Alphonse: "I do not have any problem with my shooting sir, as I've proven numerous times in the army my shooting is excellent, and as I know now as a dog, a last resort"
Alphonse: 2d6
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool is [1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6]
Alphonse: hmm
Alphonse: fuck
Alphonse: SEE 6 5 2
Fortuna: Alphonse, please specify the Fallout dice received when you Take the Blow
Alphonse: SEE 6 5 2 FALLOUT 4
Fortuna: Took the Blow for 13. Alphonse's pool is [1, 3, 6]
Alphonse: hmm
Igfig: gonna raise?
Alphonse: I'm going to roll my dogs relationship here too
Igfig: yeah ok
Alphonse: "No matter what you may think about my skill sir, a Dog's job is life or death, when the time comes for my hand to be forced I will fire"
Alphonse: 1d4
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool is [1, 2, 3, 6]
Alphonse: RAISE 3
Fortuna: Please raise with two dice, Alphonse.
Alphonse: RAISE 1 2
Fortuna: Raised 3. Alphonse's pool is [3, 6]
Igfig: oho, interesting
Igfig: "When the time comes, eh?"
Igfig: SEE 10
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 10! Igfig's pool is [1, 1, 2]
Igfig: "Let's see if you can put your money where your moth is."
Igfig: MOUTH
Alphonse: my moth is in my room in his cage
Igfig: "I'm forcing your hand right now. You take your gun and you shoot me a bullseye, or I'll be making extra sure you come to shooting practice every single day, one way or another."
Igfig: RAISE 2
Fortuna: Raised 12. Igfig's pool is [1, 1]
Alphonse: hmmmm
Alphonse: maybe I can turn this around on him
Alphonse: "A bullseye is hardly a life or death situation... sir" 
Alphonse: 1d8 stoic
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool is [3, 6, 6]
Paul_the_Dog: (So why is it raised 12 instead of raise 2)
Igfig: aw damn
Alphonse: because he turned the blow
Alphonse: he got to use his 10 again
Alphonse: "I can prove to you without a weapon that life or death will never come, if you would be willing to spar"
Alphonse: 1d8 defencing hand to hand
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool is [3, 3, 6, 6]
Alphonse: oops
Alphonse: forgot to se eifrst
Alphonse: SEE 6 6
Fortuna: Blocked for 12. Alphonse's pool is [3, 3]
Alphonse: RAISE 3 3
Fortuna: Raised 6. Alphonse's pool is []
Alphonse: (defensive*)
Igfig: that was a terrible raise
Alphonse: really?
Igfig: well I mean
Mordecai_Krieg: A, you didn't need another dice.
Alphonse: you cant raise with one dice I thought
Igfig: you can if it's your only one left
Alphonse: I still had 2 dice
Igfig: in-character, I think it's a bit odd as a challenge to your shooting instructor
Mordecai_Krieg: He has a pool of 1 and 1, you had a 3 left before adding that spar bit.
Alphonse: oh youre right I didnt notice that
Igfig: Oh, sure, it was a good raise mechanically
Igfig: it just felt a little contrived to me
Igfig: btu oh well
Alphonse: can I take that back I had another thing ready but I thought I didnt have enough
Igfig: uh, sure... I guess I need to add an UNDO command as well
Alphonse: *slips igfig a walmart coupon*
Alphonse: well either way I win this so it doesnt matter
Alphonse: so I just raise the 3
Igfig: and your pool is empty at the moment
Alphonse: "A target can never match the terror and adrenaline of real combat, it's hardly life or death"
Alphonse: you dont have to add an UNDO by the way lets just be more careful with what we do from now on, this is a practice to learn anyways this hope thing
Igfig: *Sigh* "You're a real piece of work, you know that?"
Igfig: doesn't have enough left to see
Mordecai_Krieg: Is he ending or giving though?
Alphonse: so he did not gain the courage to raise a gun
Mordecai_Krieg: Not that he'd get much for giving.
Paul_the_Dog: He is blind
Mordecai_Krieg: Nah there could be a follow up.
Alphonse: however with what my character said there, I believe he could have planted the seed to actually being able to use his gun in a life or death situation
Igfig: He gives I guess, but I don't think I'm going to bother with a follow-up
Mordecai_Krieg: Like in that example one where first a teacher talked to the guy about using cusses, the teacher failed but then there was a follow up.
Mordecai_Krieg: Alrighty.
Alphonse: hey you know what thats true
Alphonse: the guy could send fake bandits after me
Alphonse: and force me to use an empty gun he planted nearby
Mordecai_Krieg: That would seem a bit much, though.
Alphonse: if i pull the trigger ive learned my lesson
Alphonse: though itd be empty
Alphonse: yeah though thats something thatd happen in like
Alphonse: the Fable games
Igfig: he was hoping that by getting you to shoot a bit in this safe environment, in a manner in which shooting well would qualify as a victory for you, he could get you to ease up on your anxiety some
Igfig: because you talk a good game, but he couldn't be sure how you'd actually fare in said situation
Alphonse: aw I feel kind of bad now 
Igfig: no worries, that was great!
Alphonse: that guy just wants me to succeed :(
Alphonse: oh no I mean
Alphonse: heck yeah I won woop woop
Igfig: and at least he's convinced that /you/ think you'd be okay in a life-or-death situation
Alphonse: I mean that teacher
Alphonse: yeah
Alphonse: so how about
Igfig: yeah, heheh
Alphonse: 1d6 convinced to use a gun in a life and death situation
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool is [2]
Alphonse: oops
Alphonse: END
Fortuna: Alphonse received fallout: [3, 3, 4].
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool has been cleared.
Igfig: END
Fortuna: Igfig's pool has been cleared.
Igfig: I think this trait is supposed to be phrased in a negative way
Alphonse: believes he can use a gun in a life and death situation
Alphonse: hmm
Alphonse: anyone else have any ideas?
Mordecai_Krieg: Will only be forced to use a gun in a life or death situation?
Alphonse: that works
Igfig: like "failed to find the courage/conviction/whatever to use a gun outside of a life or death situation"
Alphonse: ig how far are you in code geass by any chance
Igfig: or that, yeah
Igfig: Finished it
Alphonse: okay
Alphonse: so itd be like the geass used on the brown haired super pilot guy
Alphonse: where "live" turned into his resolve to win
Alphonse: instead of need to run
Igfig: okay, fair enough
Alphonse: hurray for anime being able to explain things
Alphonse: whose next
Jacob_Quinn: I can go, but I don't really think my hope thing is very good now.
Alphonse: dont worry we can help improve it
Alphonse: whats your idea?
Jacob_Quinn: I hope I can equal my father's skill as a gunsmith.
Alphonse: hmm
Alphonse: I dont know if youd have the opportunity to build a gun in training
Alphonse: or the time
Jacob_Quinn: Because I blame myself for his death, and I think if he'd been carrying his own gun instead of one I made he'd still be alive.
Alphonse: yuo read the book right?
Alphonse: I forget if you had the time after work
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah I did, I thought it was a good idea until I saw one actually play out.
Jacob_Quinn: Got it.
Alphonse: alright
Igfig: It /could/ work, though it'd require a more complicated sort of conflict I think
Jacob_Quinn: I hope I learn that my father's death wasn't totally my fault.
Alphonse: thats a good idea
Igfig: the kind where it's like a montage
Jacob_Quinn: Like... I'm placed in a situation where I'm forced to realize that sometimes guns just misfire.
Igfig: oh, that is interesting
Alphonse: *rocky music plays*
Jacob_Quinn: Or that sometimes it's pretty hard to fight your way out of captivity with a small gun, even if it DOES work.
Igfig: I am not sure how to stage this though
Mordecai_Krieg: Hmm..
Alphonse: maybe hes just on the shooting range
Alphonse: and the gun misfires
Jacob_Quinn: Let me think about it for a minute, somebody else can go if they want to.
Alphonse: despite him doing every step to make sure its working right
Jacob_Quinn: That's not really a conflict, though.
Alphonse: yeah its not
Alphonse: mordecai still has to go
Alphonse: so while jacob thinks he can
Jacob_Quinn: Unless the instructor is trying to convince me that it happens.
Mordecai_Krieg: I still have to think of an I hope thing though.
Jacob_Quinn: And I'm saying "No, I must have made a mistake."
Alphonse: hmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Alphonse: you have the dog right
Alphonse: hunter with dog
Mordecai_Krieg: Yup.
Alphonse: how about i hope i got over seperation anxiety with my dog
Mordecai_Krieg: But my dog is going to be with me?  That does not make much sense to me.
Igfig: We just did a "instructor tries to convince me of something" conflict, Jacob, and I'm not sure playing psychologist is in the instructors' job description
Mordecai_Krieg: Especially since as part of my family we have raised many dogs.
Alphonse: yeah but like
Alphonse: if you're sneaking in somehwere
Jacob_Quinn: Could it just be another trainee?
Alphonse: you cant bring a dog
Jacob_Quinn: It can pretty much be anybody who has ever seen a Civil-War-era gun.
Mordecai_Krieg: I don't think I'd suffer from anxiety for not having my dog around though.
Alphonse: alright haha'
Alphonse: ooh how about
Igfig: I suppose... I guess this would have to be a pretty good friend, though
Alphonse: you hope you were able to make friends with sme trainees
Alphonse: hunting and breeding dogs can be a lonely life
Alphonse: out in the forest being silent or with dogs who cant really talk or anything
Alphonse: so maybe you're bad with people
Mordecai_Krieg: Well my heart stat is pretty low, so it would make sense that I'm not too good at dealing with people.
Alphonse: then hwos that sound
Alphonse: "I hope I was able to make friends with some trainees"
Igfig: I think I need to get something quick to eat, my mind is fuzing
Igfig: fuzzing
Alphonse: alright
Jacob_Quinn: I think it could work if it's an instructor, Ig, It says in the book one of their roles is "to inspire you."
Alphonse: yes but its also very important that instructors do not make you into a dog
Alphonse: so if anything they would set you up to coe to this realization
Alphonse: but you need to actually get there
Jacob_Quinn: It could go the opposite way, I guess, where he's trying to convince me that the reason I missed a shot was because I'm not as good a gunsmith as my father?
Alphonse: so instead of convincing you it wasnt your fault, maybe showing you that misfires just happen
Jacob_Quinn: They're supposed to kind of bully you.
Alphonse: or "you're just not good with guns"
Jacob_Quinn: So it could go that way.
Alphonse: and you convince him you are
Jacob_Quinn: I think it's more important to my character that the gun work than that he shoot super-well with it, though he is a good shot.
Alphonse: and form that realize that the gun you made was fine
Alphonse: from*
Jacob_Quinn: Ooh there's an angle maybe.
Jacob_Quinn: Somebody else's gun misfires, and I am determined to find out what's wrong with it and fix it.
Jacob_Quinn: Even though there's not actually anything wrong with it.
Alphonse: thats good
Jacob_Quinn: Coolio.
Jacob_Quinn: Well, I can go whenever Ig gets back then.
Igfig: ok, back
Igfig: yeah, all right
Igfig: Pretty straightforward framing then
Jacob_Quinn: Aye/
Igfig: A friend is shooting at the shooting range, and one of his shots goes way wide and almost hits another trainee
Alphonse: i still cant believe i thought the civil war was like the 1700's
Alphonse: sorry, continue
Igfig: you're pretty sure it's the gun that's at fault, so you ask if you can have a look at it
Igfig: we good then?
Jacob_Quinn: Yup.
Igfig: ok
Igfig: So y'know
Igfig: I think the ideal stat pair for this challenge would actually be Acuity + Body
Igfig: Acuity because it's a matter of perception, Body for dexterity and elbow grease
Jacob_Quinn: Works for me.
Igfig: 4d6
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [2, 3, 4, 5]
Igfig: 4d10
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7]
Jacob_Quinn: 7d6
Fortuna: Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5]
Igfig: go ahead and raise
Jacob_Quinn: Okay.
Jacob_Quinn: I have to raise two dice, right?
Jacob_Quinn: If I have them?
Igfig: yes
Jacob_Quinn: Cool.
Jacob_Quinn: "Whoa, watch it! You really need to take better care of your gun. Let me see that for a minute, I'll figure out what's wrong with it."
Jacob_Quinn: RAISE 1 2
Fortuna: Raised 3. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 3, 4, 5, 5]
Igfig: hmm
Igfig: Mechanically I almost have to reverse the blow, but I can't think of a way to respond to that that wouldn't be a straight block
Jacob_Quinn: I can use bigger dice, if need be.
Igfig: nah, don't worry about it
Mordecai_Krieg: Well he's rolled acuity and body right?  So what is he doing with his body, that voice stuff isn't really what he's doing with the stats he got his dice from.
Jacob_Quinn: That's true.
Jacob_Quinn: Is my conflict with the gun or the owner of the gun?
Igfig: Neither
Jacob_Quinn: I assume he's not just going to say "no" and then I never learn my lesson.
Jacob_Quinn: Well I mean, do I have to convince him to let me see it?
Igfig: well, you chose to start the conflict there, so...
Jacob_Quinn: Haha. Fair enough.
Igfig: This conflict is between you, representing the status quo, and me, representing the will to fulfill your hope
Alphonse: so maybe his raise should be his actions?
Igfig: "Sure, I think I'm done for the day." He looks a bit shaken by his near miss.
Igfig: SEE 3
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 3! Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7]
Alphonse: against what he finds?
Alphonse: or maybe its how he is thinking
Alphonse: oh well its already started
Igfig: "Just be careful with it. That gun's my baby." (i.e. he already takes good care of it)
Igfig: RAISE 7
Fortuna: Raised 10. Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 4, 4, 5, 5]
Alphonse: ig if i can make a suggestion
Igfig: sure
Alphonse: if he is raising and seeing against the gun
Alphonse: maybe it can be against like his thoughts
Alphonse: for example he raises "theres nothing wrong with this gun, maybe it was just a bad shot"
Alphonse: and then you raise 
Alphonse: you think "no there has to be something wrong, guns are supposed to work perfectly if they are made well enough"
Igfig: oh yeah, that would be cool
Jacob_Quinn: That's sort of what I'm envisioning.
Alphonse: alright great
Alphonse: carry on then
Jacob_Quinn: Cool.,
Igfig: I think we still have to have some actual examining the gun though, since this is Acuity + Body
Jacob_Quinn: So at this point, I can bring in traits right? Because I think "my father taught me everything about gunsmithing" and "I am a capable tinkerer" are pretty applicable.
Jacob_Quinn: Oh yeah I'm gonna do that first.
Igfig: yeah for sure
Jacob_Quinn: 2d10
Fortuna: Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 3, 4, 5, 5, 7]
Igfig: Just make sure that the traits are directly addressed in a description
Jacob_Quinn: 1d6
Fortuna: Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 7]
Jacob_Quinn: OKay.
Jacob_Quinn: So I start with the simplest things my dad taught me as a boy. Cleaning the gun, oiling all the mechanical parts, checking the barrel for wear and rust.
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 7
Fortuna: That was not enough to see a raise of 10, Jacob_Quinn.
Jacob_Quinn: Oh yeah.
Jacob_Quinn: Damn.
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 5 5
Fortuna: Blocked for 10. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 7]
Igfig: and then a raise
Jacob_Quinn: RAISE 2 3
Fortuna: Raised 5. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [2, 4, 4, 7]
Alphonse: make sure to describe your raise too
Alphonse: a raise is an action the opposition cannot ignore
Jacob_Quinn: Oh yeah.
Jacob_Quinn: I take the gun back to the range and make several test shots to see if cleaning the gun and oiling it has made any difference.
Paul_the_Dog: (Are we doing anything besides I Hopes tonight?)
Igfig: I think the thing you did to See was actually more of a raise, but ok
Jacob_Quinn: Can we just flip the two?
Igfig: I was hoping to do more than just Acheivements, but it looks like we won't have time
Jacob_Quinn: I shot the gun a bunch of times and then cleaned it?
Igfig: Yeah sure
Jacob_Quinn: Cool.
Paul_the_Dog: (I'm going to go then. I have homework to do. If you need me ding me in skype
Igfig: aight, bye
Jacob_Quinn: So long!
Paul_the_Dog was kicked by Paul_the_Dog.
Alphonse: so ig needs to see
Alphonse: igfig ~
Igfig: hold your horses
Alphonse: in like a sing song voice
Igfig: The gun moves well in your hand, shooting straight. It's pretty clean already; that guy wasn't kidding when he said he takes care of it.
Igfig: SEE 5
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 5! Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 4, 4, 5]
Igfig: So it must be a mechanical problem, you guess? But shouldn't it be pretty obvious where the problem is, then?
Igfig: RAISE 4
Fortuna: Raised 9. Igfig's pool is [1, 2, 4, 5]
Igfig quit.
Jacob_Quinn: I take the gun to my workbench, where I do all the work on my own guns and tinker in what little spare time I have. I take it apart, examining each part in turn for any sign of distress or any flaw.
Jacob_Quinn: Well, shit.
Igfig joined #pwot_dnd.
Igfig: Whoops
Igfig: Luckily Dogtuna told me what you said
Alphonse: Jacob_Quinn	I take the gun to my workbench, where I do all the work on my own guns and tinker in what little spare time I have. I take it apart, examining each part in turn for any sign of distress or any flaw.
Alphonse: aah
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 7 2
Fortuna: Blocked for 9. Jacob_Quinn's pool is [4, 4]
Alphonse: maybe your raise shouldbe a thought instead of an action now
Jacob_Quinn: "Even my own guns don't look a lot cleaner or better cared-for than this. Maybe it really was just a bad shot. Accidents happen, I guess."
Jacob_Quinn: I have to use both of my last dice, right?
Alphonse: ooh that was good
Alphonse: and yes
Igfig: Yeah
Jacob_Quinn: RAISE 4 4
Fortuna: Raised 8. Jacob_Quinn's pool is []
Mordecai_Krieg: It doesn't make much sense for that to be a raise though, that seems like a give or an end.
Igfig: yeah
Igfig: in any case
Jacob_Quinn: I can think something more negative.
Jacob_Quinn: I do have dice for that.
Jacob_Quinn: If we're going that route.
Igfig: I think that would be good, yeah
Jacob_Quinn: Okay.
Jacob_Quinn: So can I bring in "I take failure to save people personally" on account of I'll be really upset with myself if this guy's gun does end up malfunctioning and he or someone else is hurt because of it?
Jacob_Quinn: I did just watch him almost kill somebody.
Igfig: Yes you definitely can
Jacob_Quinn: Cool
Jacob_Quinn: 2d6
Fortuna: Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1, 5]
Igfig: gah
Jacob_Quinn: And then instead of that other thing my raise will be "It looks clean, but no dog in training would make a shot that bad. There has to be a problem here." I replace some of the parts (bolts and the like) with parts from my own personal store.
Jacob_Quinn: Not fantastic rolls.
Jacob_Quinn: I can probably weave "I'm looking for redemption" in, though.
Igfig: good enough though, considering I can't escalate or anything
Jacob_Quinn: True.
Igfig: You take the gun back out to test it again, see if you can feel any sort of difference now.
Igfig: SEE 4 5
Fortuna: Blocked for 9. Igfig's pool is [1, 2]
Mordecai_Krieg: There could be a follow up for this one though.
Mordecai_Krieg: With Jacob being around when that other guy starts shooting again.
Alphonse: its getting late for me and ig
Igfig: But just as your finger tightens on the last shot, someone calls out from behind, startling you. The shot goes wide, hitting a hay bale in a cloud of straw bits.
Alphonse: i think itd be best to finish the achievements tonight soonish
Mordecai_Krieg: True.
Igfig: RAISE 1 2
Fortuna: Raised 3. Igfig's pool is []
Igfig: I've lost now, but at least I can go out in style
Igfig: (It's your friend, coming to see if you've figured it out)
Jacob_Quinn: "Whoa! Don't startle a man with a gun in his hand, that's a good way to get yourself killed! Accidents do happen, after all," I say...
Jacob_Quinn: trailing off as the importance of that statement hits me.
Jacob_Quinn: SEE 5
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 5! Jacob_Quinn's pool is [1]
Alphonse: Jacob suddenly looks like this
Alphonse: :O
Igfig: but since he's winning, looks like he doesn't learn his lesson after all
Alphonse: hm
Alphonse: that is true
Jacob_Quinn: I thought you were playing the role of the part of me that couldn't let it go?
Jacob_Quinn: It's possible I've misunderstood this whole thing.
Igfig: yes
Igfig: that's what you're playing
Mordecai_Krieg: Yeah, cause he won while he thought of that statement, that means he brushes the thought off with the following raise, yar.
Igfig: I'm the part that wants you to change
Jacob_Quinn: Ahh.
Alphonse: there is no raise i dont think
Mordecai_Krieg: Well, there is and there isn't, it doesn't matter if he actually raises or not I suppose.
Alphonse: yeah so the conflict is over
Jacob_Quinn: I win! And also... lose?
Mordecai_Krieg: Yup.
Igfig: well, a thought as to why he doesn't learn his lesson wouldn't go amiss
Igfig: the note we left off on made it seem as though he would
Igfig: learn his lesson I mean
Alphonse: so what kind of trait would he get from this
Jacob_Quinn: "This gun's as clean as I can make it, and it doesn't feel any different than it did when you handed it to me. I'd be careful with it if I were you."
Alphonse: hey ig can I add the trait "persuasive" ? with those stocked trait dice i had
Igfig: sure
Alphonse: alright cool
Mordecai_Krieg: Well, the accident happened, but the start of the thing was assuming it was the gun's fault, not the guy's fault, what the guy did was an accident, but it was different then the accident that just happened.
Alphonse: wut
Igfig: "I still blame failures on faulty equipment?"
Igfig: shrug
Mordecai_Krieg: At the end that was an accident of surprise, at the other one it was an accident from lack of skill.
Alphonse: aah
Alphonse: so
Alphonse: how about
Igfig: or "on factors out of my control"
Alphonse: "Learned to improve skills to avoid accidents"
Jacob_Quinn: "Won't ever yell at a shooting range."
Alphonse: haha
Igfig: hahah
Mordecai_Krieg: That one Waffle said doesn't make much sense.  The other one though is fun and I like it.
Jacob_Quinn: I like "I don't trust anyone else's equipment."
Alphonse: II think it works since he wanted to come to terms and accept that accidents just happen
Igfig: oh yeah, that's a good one Jacob!
Alphonse: but instead he decides to improve skills to avoid accidents
Alphonse: WELL FIIIIIINNE
Jacob_Quinn: So maybe in the future I'll insist that I be the one to do something even though I may not be the best cohice.
Igfig: aye
Jacob_Quinn: Or argue against plans that put success in someone else's hands.
Jacob_Quinn: Cool.
Mordecai_Krieg: That could work and be interesting, yar.
Jacob_Quinn: Man, Jacob is an asshole.
Alphonse: yeah fuck jacob
Igfig: and because of that trait, you'll be more likely to convince people of that, too
Alphonse: "woops i accidentally shot jacob in the head"
Igfig: So Mordecai's up next, right?
Alphonse: yup
Jacob_Quinn: "He was totally a demon guys, I swear."
Mordecai_Krieg: Yeah, and I think we're going with "I hope to make friends with people outside of my family."  An adjustment from what Waffle said earlier to make more sense.
Alphonse: woo
Mordecai_Krieg: Cause going off of what I've written he's got a pretty solid relationship with his family members, so I figured adding that outside of my family bit makes it make more sense.
Jacob_Quinn: I hope you fail so I'm not the only jerk.
Alphonse: waffles the weiner
Alphonse: man we're all jerks in some way
Jacob_Quinn: Although I guess technically I could just make a bunch of handguns and insist that nobody fire a gun I didn't make.
Igfig: heh
Alphonse: thatd be great
Alphonse: if you're a gun smith you could craft us all excellent level guns
Igfig: All right, so Mordecai that's Acuity + Heart
Igfig: END
Fortuna: Igfig's pool has been cleared.
Mordecai_Krieg: Though now this seems kinda tricky, since I'm the force of inertia and Igfig is the one trying to make me make friends.
Jacob_Quinn: "Guys I know there are demons and everything but if we could just stop in the next town for a couple weeks while I make a shitload of rifles I'd feel much better."
Jacob_Quinn: END
Fortuna: Jacob_Quinn's pool has been cleared.
Igfig: no, Mordecai
Mordecai_Krieg: 5d6
Fortuna: Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [1, 2, 4, 4, 5]
Igfig: well, hmm
Mordecai_Krieg: I'm totally boss at this.
Alphonse: END
Fortuna: Alphonse's pool has been cleared.
Alphonse: hehe
Igfig: I was thinking this would be an achievement thing, where it's you trying to make friends with people
Alphonse: ya
Igfig: but I guess it could be other people trying to befriend you
Igfig: 4d6
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [2, 2, 3, 3]
Igfig: 4d10
Fortuna: Igfig's pool is [2, 2, 3, 3, 5, 6, 6, 7]
Mordecai_Krieg: Ah, alrighty then, that makes much more sense actually the achievement one.
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah I think it makes more sense if you're trying to make friends and IG plays your poor social skills.
Igfig: hehe
Mordecai_Krieg: I forgot there was different modes.
Mordecai_Krieg: I think I've got the poor social skills in the bag.
Igfig: it can get confusing yeah
Jacob_Quinn: "You don't know what to do with your hands. Why are your hands so stupid?"
Alphonse: so basically no need to roleplay
Alphonse: ooooohh burrrn
Alphonse: and alphonse plays ig's sick burns
Alphonse: wait was that a raise jacob
Igfig: Mordecai is the one who starts
Igfig: oh right I have to set the scene
Alphonse: oh right
Igfig: uhm
Alphonse: wow we suck ig
Mordecai_Krieg: dun dun duns.
Alphonse: lets use the shooting range again
Alphonse: triple shooting range
Igfig: this will be difficult since there are no bars or coffee shops
Alphonse: theres a dinner hall
Jacob_Quinn: There's a shooting range.
Alphonse: maybe theyre on a spare period for study
Mordecai_Krieg: A library perhaps, or the places where the trainees live?
Alphonse: and there is a shooting range
Igfig: Dinner hall is probably best
Jacob_Quinn: "Another trainee comes up to you and says 'Man, look at this weirdo who just took my gun. What an asshole.;"
Mordecai_Krieg: Dinner hall could work.
Alphonse: the tables can work as a shooting rnage
Alphonse: if they are long enough
Igfig: Okay, so it's dinner time. You get your food and try to summon up your courage to sit down with some people who aren't just you.
Igfig: and go
Alphonse: the cool kid's table :0
Mordecai_Krieg: Oh joy.
Alphonse: peter back in highscool
Igfig: or whatever, tune it as needed to your preferred state of mind
Mordecai_Krieg: See, this is difficult cause I don't really do this stuff in real life either for that matter, let alone the poor rolls.
Mordecai_Krieg: I'm out of my sphere of stuff.
Igfig: heheh
Jacob_Quinn: Just ask yourself what Fartfignuggen would do.
Mordecai_Krieg: I already know the answer to that though, fart, drink ale, drink more ale.
Jacob_Quinn: I think you have your first raise.
Jacob_Quinn: HA!
Alphonse: probably fart then slam a barrel of ale on the table and break it
Mordecai_Krieg: I shall sit down at a table with other initiates
Jacob_Quinn: And then turn the table into ale.
Mordecai_Krieg: RAISE 1 2
Fortuna: Raised 3. Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [4, 4, 5]
Igfig: wow, ok
Mordecai_Krieg: Also I say "Hey guys, mind if I sit?"
Igfig: I was really hoping you would lead with a strong raise, so I could Take the Blow
Igfig: (as a kindness)
Mordecai_Krieg: I've got ideas for improving my options yet.
Igfig: as it is I'm going to have to reverse the blow
Mordecai_Krieg: But yeah, probably shouldn't have gone with such a weak start.
Igfig: You basically always want to avoid letting your opponent reverse the blow if you can
Mordecai_Krieg: Yar, very yar I probably should have thought a bit more there.
Igfig: The table falls silent as you sit down
Igfig: SEE 3
Fortuna: Reversed the Blow for 3! Igfig's pool is [2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6, 7]
Alphonse: i love the idea of mordecai cutting his losses like 4 times and just moving on and on like a montage of him being awkward trying to make friends and failing
Mordecai_Krieg: Yar, there are always more tables.
yo_its_ben joined #pwot_dnd.
Alphonse: whose that
Igfig: "Yes, actually. Unless you have an informed opinion on the (theological concept that you've never even heard of)
Alphonse: on "bonerectimy"
Igfig: I'm not sure how much of a dick to be here
Jacob_Quinn: Think Mean Girls, Ig.
Igfig: I mean mechanically
Igfig: oh what the hell
Igfig: RAISE 7
Fortuna: Raised 10. Igfig's pool is [2, 2, 3, 5, 6, 6]
Igfig: I am so mean
Alphonse: wow
Jacob_Quinn: And Mordecai never spoke again.
Mordecai_Krieg: Right, I think I'm going to give and go try another table.
Alphonse: ahaha
Igfig: no, if you give that's just the end of the conflict
Alphonse: try using some traits or relationships
Alphonse: I would suggest the dog relationship like
Mordecai_Krieg: But going to another table would be the beginning of another one?  But yar.
Igfig: You can block, but that'll be Taking the Blow and you'll use your entire pool
Mordecai_Krieg: Are dogs allowed in the dining hall?
Alphonse: "I dont but id love to learn, we're all dogs here we should share knowledge'
Igfig: Nope, the challenge is to make friends, not to make friends with these specific people
Mordecai_Krieg: Also what is for supper?
Igfig: dogs are not allowed in the dining hall
Alphonse: meat stew
Mordecai_Krieg: Right, drats, dogs are good for making friends with people.
Igfig: you could wait until after dinner and then be standing around outside with your dog
Igfig: in any case though, if you want this to keep going you should see
Igfig: *See
Alphonse: petting dogs is fun thats all you need to catch my attention is "dog. must pet"
Mordecai_Krieg: Could I take out my book of life as part of my see to add that roll?
Igfig: sure, I guess
Mordecai_Krieg: I'm thinking taking it out to try and look up the theological thinger.
Alphonse: idk i still think my idea is best of asking to learn what it is
Jacob_Quinn: He could be asking them where it is in the book.
Jacob_Quinn: He needs the dice pretty bad.
Mordecai_Krieg: Yar.
Mordecai_Krieg: My brain isn't working with me, and also there was a distraction, oi.
Alphonse: use your dog relationship I think
Igfig: there are many possible approaches
Mordecai_Krieg: I don't have a relationship with the dog at the moment cause Ig thought that having the dog as an item and in a relationship seemed odd or something.
Jacob_Quinn: At this point in the conversation the dog relationship and the book of life could both come into the play.
Jacob_Quinn: The one with the Dogs, not the dog.
Alphonse: no i mean
Alphonse: Dogs
Alphonse: yeah
Mordecai_Krieg: Oh that one.
Alphonse: not with barton
Mordecai_Krieg: Yeah, we'll go with both of those then.
Alphonse: "HEY YOU GUYS WANNA COME PET MY DOG"
Mordecai_Krieg: "Not really...  but if you could tell me about it I'd do my best to learn of it and form one."  And I pull out my book of life.
Mordecai_Krieg: 2d6
Fortuna: Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [2, 4, 4, 4, 5]
Mordecai_Krieg: SEE 2 4 4 Fallout 4
Fortuna: Mordecai_Krieg, please specify the Fallout dice received when you Take the Blow
Mordecai_Krieg: Oh whoops.
Igfig: capitalize fallout I guess
Mordecai_Krieg: SEE 2 4 4 FALLOUT 4
Fortuna: Took the Blow for 10. Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [4, 5]
Alphonse: I applaud mordecai's courage even when he's a total dork
Igfig: and then raise
Mordecai_Krieg: Oh, I can take my love for reading into this too.
Alphonse: b-b-b-b-b-boooommmm
Mordecai_Krieg: "If you tell me the related passages I can read up on it quick."
Mordecai_Krieg: 1d10
Fortuna: Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [4, 5, 9]
Mordecai_Krieg: RAISE 4 5
Fortuna: Raised 9. Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [9]
Alphonse: raising that 9 and 5 would have been fun
Mordecai_Krieg: Well, yar I should have thought some more again.
Igfig: oh yeah, I would have had to take the blow so hard
Mordecai_Krieg: With the 14 he would have had to take the blow, this way he can block it.
Alphonse: althought also with next round
Igfig: I really need that undo command
Alphonse: its unlikely ig can raise over a 9
Alphonse: so he can see with the 9
Alphonse: and then turn the blow and raise with the 9 again
Mordecai_Krieg: And bring in some more stuff possibly.
Mordecai_Krieg: Depending on what the thing is about.
Jacob_Quinn: You're a good cook, you could always awkwardly change the subject to the food.
Jacob_Quinn: Or your "wait for the proper time" die, if you can convince IG.
Igfig: "Hah, really? Sure, it's (chapter, verse)"
Igfig: SEE 2 2 5 FALLOUT 4
Fortuna: Took the Blow for 9. Igfig's pool is [3, 6, 6]
Igfig: "Of course, you'd need to know about (another complex concept, though you've at least heard of this one) to really understand it, if you know what I mean."
Igfig: RAISE 6 6
Fortuna: Raised 12. Igfig's pool is [3]
Igfig: no blow-reversing for you
Alphonse: haw
Mordecai_Krieg: Now I'm going to need a bit of info I think relating to the concepts.
Alphonse: make a history check
Mordecai_Krieg: Hmm..
Mordecai_Krieg: I begin reading the verses they gave to me, and wait for a bit listening to what they are saying in their discussion of the subject.
Mordecai_Krieg: Bringing in that waiting thing.
Mordecai_Krieg: 1d10
Fortuna: Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [7, 9]
Alphonse: oh snap
Jacob_Quinn: DAYUMN.
Mordecai_Krieg: SEE 7 9
Fortuna: Blocked for 16. Mordecai_Krieg's pool is []
Alphonse: you need at least a 4 now
Alphonse: BRING IN ONE MORE TRAIT
Alphonse: or relationship
Alphonse: you can do it mordecai
Igfig: just shoehorn the dog in
Alphonse: have you used the dogs relationship
Mordecai_Krieg: And now the question is, after listening to them and reading about it, would it be possible to compare the concepts to something related to how one raises or trains a dog?
Igfig: the Dogs relationship
Igfig: hahaha
Mordecai_Krieg: I did the Dogs relationship earlier.
Igfig: let's go with yes
Alphonse: use the dang dogs relationship
Alphonse: oh
Jacob_Quinn: OH dude.
Jacob_Quinn: You learned and enjoy reading.,
Jacob_Quinn: So you read A TON.
Jacob_Quinn: Take another d10.
Mordecai_Krieg: I did the reading one earlier as well.
Alphonse: use it to explain the behaviour of some dogs
Mordecai_Krieg: I think.
Jacob_Quinn: I don't think you did.
Alphonse: he did
Igfig: he did
Jacob_Quinn: Ah.
Mordecai_Krieg: Right.
Igfig: that's where the 9 came from
Jacob_Quinn: Well, I'm out of ideas.
Jacob_Quinn: I thought that was the patience one.
Mordecai_Krieg: That wonderful 9.
Igfig: shrug
Jacob_Quinn: Like, he didn't try to hop into the conversation half-cocked.
Mordecai_Krieg: The patience was the 7.
Igfig: either way, yes you can relate the theology to dog breeding
Alphonse: "aah yes this theological theory can explain this behaviour of some dogs"
Alphonse: BOOM
Igfig: also I was leaving you open to decide that you actually knew something about the second concept already
Alphonse: man we suck at this we have to use like all of our traits to win
Jacob_Quinn: I thought that was kind of the idea.
Igfig: aye
Jacob_Quinn: It's a test of your whole character.
Alphonse: oh
Alphonse: well alright hten
Alphonse: CARRY ON
Mordecai_Krieg: "Well, when it comes to (complex theological theory), it's kinda like when you are first training a dog to obey commands.  It takes time and understanding, and repeated actions to do so.  Just like how (other complex theological theory I've heard about) related to the patience required."
Mordecai_Krieg: 2d8
Fortuna: Mordecai_Krieg's pool is [2, 6]
Mordecai_Krieg: RAISE 2 6
Fortuna: Raised 8. Mordecai_Krieg's pool is []
Alphonse: you only roll a trait once per conflict
Mordecai_Krieg: The I raised dogs trait is 2d8.
Jacob_Quinn: He was just doing that in text.
Alphonse: oh alright
Igfig: they all laugh, and one claps you on the back. "Hey, that's not bad! You're all right, man."
Jacob_Quinn: Yeah.
Igfig: END
