Varus: excellent Igfig: LAST TIME ON EBERRON Varus: fortuna are we all going to die today? Fortuna: Ha. No. Varus: excellent! Varus: Fortuna are we all going to die next session? Fortuna: Probably not. Varus: wow Arryn: Fortuna will Varus die today Varus: forgot the ? Igfig: Fortuna was trying to hold back her laughter there, she was totally lying Varus: Fortuna will Varus die today? Fortuna: Um. Arryn: Fortuna will Varus die today? Fortuna: I have no idea. Igfig: ANYWAY Varus: everythings moving too quick for her lately Igfig: LAST TIME Varus: too much stuff happenin Blaze: She is being extra sassy right now. Varus: on butt fart Igfig: You worked out a plan to intercept Mobile Fortress Chydris as it approached Flamekeep over the water Igfig: with the help of part of the Thrannish Navy Igfig: but the fortress didn't show! Arryn: :/ Orrin: Fortress is a real dick. Igfig: You realized that it might be heading in the direction ofThronehold instead Igfig: and headed off to intercept it! Blaze: Also Jaela said hi. Arryn: :) Igfig: oh yeah, what was that Divination she got? Igfig: "The tower seeks a city in strife, spoils of war, a shattered star." Igfig: which sounds like Thronehold Igfig: so anyway, the Thrannish Navy attacked, creating a distraction Igfig: did not do very much damage, and took a beating in return Igfig: but it was sufficient to get you to the scrap bay entrance Arryn: ;) Igfig: after some trouble with a sturdy door, you found that scrap furnace again, disabled some of its stabilizers, and started a meltdown that would resolve itself in about ten minutes' time Igfig: but the noise attracted a patrol of warforged and warforged chargers Igfig: who are coming to investigate Igfig: Roll initiative! Varus: wait Arryn: good thing im more invisible than waffle's wit Varus: we're all super stealthed remember Varus: like super hella Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRTTCVC1469AA897A6&jb=1 Orrin: Yeah we should have a surprise round for suuure. Varus: super hella ultra stealthed Blaze: Also music for this fight. Varus: we def get a surprise round Varus: as they walk past us Igfig: definitely Varus: 1d20+1 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+1: [1] = 2 Arryn: hahahha Blaze: 1d20 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20: [3] = 3 Varus: ugh Igfig: you guys are all super stealthed, Arryn is basically invisible Varus: UGH Blaze: Whooo. Arryn: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+3: [14] = 17 Blaze: Glad those are out of the way. Igfig: so in addition to getting a surprise round, you have time to arrange yourselves as you like Varus: can we get a rough map Igfig: also, could someone who's not me handle the initiative? Orrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20: [13] = 13 Orrin: ORRIN IS SWIFT. Arryn: Arryn Orrin Blaze Varus Arryn: is order Igfig: Ah, sure, we can do it at http://champion.uwaterloo.ca/~igfich/pwotdnd/ Blaze: We haven't used that in a while, yar. Varus: itd be useful Igfig: I'm just going to delete everything, ok? Blaze: Sounds fine to me. Igfig: uhm Igfig: why don't I have the controls Igfig: dammit, we've had this problem before Varus: hey its delf's church thing Arryn: log? Blaze: Have you signed into it? Igfig: oh, that'd be it Varus: how do i log in Igfig: https://realtimeboard.com/login/ Blaze: click the create board thing in the top left, you'll get a little spot for it there. Igfig: I totally lost my password, this'll take a moment Blaze: I think I deleted everything. Blaze: Yup. Blaze: And put in our initiatives. Varus: ok how do i do stuff Varus: im logged in Blaze: Well I already deleted everything and made a text thing for our initiatives, yar. Varus: all i can do is drag around Varus: yeah Arryn: this password recovery email is taking forreevvveer Varus: sign in with facebook Varus: like i did Igfig: oh I wonder if that's how I did it before Blaze: Also this song I went with, doesn't loop so well but the poor loops actually sound kinda good, so that is fun. Igfig: okay I'm in finally Varus: ok i srtill cant do anything except drag around Blaze: Do you not see the tool button things at the bottom left? Varus: nope Varus: just zoom in and zoom out Blaze: Maybe you aren't actually logged in yet? Or maybe try refreshing, yar. Varus: im def logged in Varus: why cant we use what we used to use way back in pwot dnd Blaze: I think because it doesn't exist anymore, maybe. Varus: maybe Varus: is the tool thing a pinatbrush? Igfig: either that or it became subscription-only Varus: ok we're only using this for our placements right Blaze: There are a couple of tools, a pencil thing, a shape thing, a textbox thing. Varus: since 5e works so well without a map Varus: then no i dont see any of those Igfig: I am having trouble figuring out how I would want the map to actually work even Blaze: I'm thinking of just a general starting position thing, yar, just put the enemies on it in whatever set up they are marching with and yar. Blaze: We don't even necessarily have to put ourselves on it, just need to know where they are for the start. Varus: i think theyre just coming in that door Varus: yeah Blaze: Yar but marching order stuff, are they all the same looking kind of warforged or is there one that looks different, ie magical or scarier or both. Blaze: Scarier is a weird looking word. Varus: ya Igfig: well as I mentioned, four of them are normal warforged, two of them are Warforged Chargers Igfig: http://gyazo.com/71373d9ac1ef2d3d2bed030f97eaca79 Blaze: So yeah those are scarier. Varus: its an APE Varus: man thats scary Igfig: Varus saw one of those earlier, loading scrap into carts Varus: ok Varus: so which room did we come out of Varus: where we blew shit up Igfig: the one with the circle in it Varus: ok Varus: so they will be coming into there Varus: i thinkkk Varus: we should pincer them Varus: orrin on one side Varus: all of us on the other Igfig: hasn't blown up yet though, the wall of fire is still melting through the furnace Varus: yeah Varus: does anyone object to that Varus: they come in and we ambush them Varus: when they try to turn arround Varus: SURPRISE ORRIN Igfig: There can be other stuff in here if you want Varus: you said it was cleaned Varus: they burned all the scrap Varus: so tbh i think its just a blankish scrappy furnace room Varus: lots of bolts and stuff right Blaze: There are probably a bunch of piles along the walls and ceilings, don't know what use they would be but that'd be fun and make some sense for the location I think. Varus: maybe we can hang on the walls around the door Igfig: like, if you think it would be cool to have some steam pipes or something to hide behind, you can bring those up and I'll say yeah, it'd make sense for those to be here Igfig: I did say there were no scrap piles left though, yeah Igfig: could be little bits in the corners I guess Varus: steam pipes sound fine but id imagine thered be fuel pipes instead? Varus: well Varus: thats steam Varus: congrats waffle you understand steam power Varus: ok so steam pipes around Varus: we can burst those open to explode hot melty steam on them Varus: ooh how about that Varus: a steam pipe right over the door Varus: so we can break it open as they enter Blaze: How are we breaking it? Igfig: And since this furnace is for melting down scrap, I guess there're channels or sluices or something to transport the molten scrap into the room north of here to be separated or something Arryn: uh if we are by it when it breaks we get scalded too Varus: no we break it so it explodes onto them Varus: like Varus: L Varus: its like that but upside down Varus: well Varus: C Varus: backwards C Varus: and we smash the bottom Varus: or maybe we just stay back a bit Varus: so like mine carts around the room a bit ig? Igfig: I think the carts might have been stored away now that the scrap has been finished off... Igfig: but you know what, sure Varus: then maybe all in a corner like a grocery store Igfig: they were in a hurry to get moving, they forgot one in the bottom-right corner Arryn: we are super stealthed, pipe banging makes hella noise Varus: ok Varus: lets just explode them then Varus: but so Varus: lets hide right around the entrance to the room? Varus: i still think orrin should be at the other Varus: so they cant retreat Orrin: I can do that. Blaze: Yeah, trying to pin them in a tight place with little maneuverability would be good. Varus: excelent Varus: and then Varus: we can fucking explode them Varus: with Varus: FIRE Varus: so orrin place yourself on the entrance to the room opposite of the circle room Varus: rest of usjust around the door? Blaze: Oh, also if I want to keep this pass without trace spell up and not have to cast it again, though I'd say we've already gotten good use out of it, I'll have to avoid using any of my concentration spells, so yar. Varus: ok Varus: ok i dont think we need the map anymore Blaze: Though, looking at it most of my spells are concentration based, so, yar. Varus: arryn goes first Varus: where is she ben Igfig: I don't think we really needed the map at all, I could probably have described this Varus: god the initiative is like a kaiju over the map Varus: well its useful to have Varus: but yeah Varus: basically Igfig: okay wait stop movign things Varus: so LETS GO Varus: to make up for lost time Varus: ben you have the A just in front of the entrance Varus: is that your plot Varus: hiding right in the entrance Varus: like crouched down on the ground so they dont notice you Arryn: i cant move the a Blaze: Oh wait, one question, how big is this area? Blaze: This is a very important question. Varus: tru Varus: the hallway looks like Varus: like Varus: 7 feet wide Varus: maybe 10 Igfig: hallway is probably at least 10, maybe wider Varus: ok Blaze: Sweet. Igfig: I was thinking the furnace would be... yeah, around 10 feet, so the hlway is too Igfig: the room is about 30x30 then Igfig: the loading bay was I guess 20x40? Igfig: or maybe a bit longer Blaze: So is Orrin blocking the hallway or that other room? Igfig: probably wider actually Varus: the other room Varus: gunna come in behind them Varus: maybe hes hiding on the room at the entrance to the hallway Varus: to TRAP them Blaze: Right, I'll move to block the hallway behind them then. Igfig: put yourselves on the map just so I can see where you'd be Varus: i cant Varus: ben no the circle room Varus: orrin is over there Arryn: no i was here first Varus: then orrin needs to be on this side Varus: the point is that a train could hit that guy and he wouldnt move Varus: thats a good spot for my blaze thanks Blaze: That good for everyone then? Igfig: is blaze in the middle of the hallway then? Orrin: Fine by me. Varus: blaze you're in the hall? Blaze: Preferably after they have passed, but yar. Varus: like hiding on the roof?? Blaze: I want to be behind them. Varus: howd you get there Varus: without them noticeing Blaze: A 27 in stealth? Varus: i mean like Varus: realistically Igfig: you still have to have some cover Igfig: or concealment or something Blaze: Yar, um. Guess I won't start there, yar. Arryn: lol 27 in stealth noob Varus: just saying you clambered over the roof Blaze: That'd be a rough athletics check for a guy with no strength modifier. Varus: tru Varus: ok then Igfig: all right Varus: but we should get someone behind them Blaze: Though I do have proficiency, but yar. Varus: lets have orrin bullrush to get there Varus: or arryn slip through them Varus: however Varus: SHALL WE BEGIN THE ENCOUNTER Arryn ghooooost Igfig: acrobatics can let you move right through people's spaces, yeah Orrin: Why don't we just let them come in this room and kill them here? Orrin: If we're killing them anyway. Varus: because having them stuck in the 10 foot hallway Varus: lets us wreck them Varus: in like 2 turns Blaze: Less maneuvering room for them? Arryn: they cant charge Blaze: And we can always back up into the furnace room. Igfig: let's begin then! Igfig: The patrol has one charger at the front and one at the back, and the four warforged in the middle Varus: arryn get 'em Igfig: they come to the t intersection and pause Arryn: .... Igfig: one of the warforged squeezes around the front charger, who's taking up much of the intersection, and peers down the hallway into the furnace room Igfig: 1d20 perception Fortuna: Igfig, perception: [15] = 15 Igfig: seeing nothing, of cours Arryn: hehehe Varus: not without a 20 he aint Arryn: we all above 20 Varus: a natural 20 would still succeed i think Blaze: I'm a little fuzzy on that ruling, yar. Blaze: Still. Igfig: natural 20 is not automatic success on a check, but he'd get some kind of indication that something was up Igfig: partial success Igfig: there are some pretty neat rules for partial and enhanced success in the DMG actually Igfig: but nevermind Blaze: I look forwards to obtaining it. Igfig: he beckons the charger to come up behind him, and begins to move into the room. Varus: arryn plz do ur thing Igfig: The others are standing in the intersection, with the charger behind them Arryn: uh if i attacl the first in line the back can go back Orrin: We have a surprise round. Varus: cant you just stab him in the warforged kidney Arryn: ah ok thanks ig Igfig: For the final battle, probably next session, I'll draw a nice map in Inkscape maybe Varus: yay Varus: thatll be our christmas present Varus: a huge dnd bonanza explosive fnial battle Arryn: so i hit that closest one into the next closest one Igfig: woo Varus: like shove him?? Varus: are you trying to cartoon these guys to kill each other Igfig: Using Shoving attack? Arryn: oh right we are being sneaky Varus: well Varus: not anymore Varus: lets just explode them Arryn: ok then Varus: do as much damage as you can in six seconds Varus: blaze has a plan Varus: i think Varus: and im gunna blight some mother fucker Blaze: It is a fun idea at the least. Arryn: with the hammer, i still have a hammer from trying to up Orrin on the door Arryn: and we both failed :( Varus: c; Igfig: is this a one or two-handed hammer? Igfig: If it's one-handed you can make an off-hand attack with a shortsword Arryn: oh right yeh Arryn: i also do that Arryn: uh i stab him then hammer him i think? Igfig: Sounds good Arryn: if i remember right Varus: you have morphing weapon Varus: why not morph that into a hammer Arryn: it is Varus: aah ok Varus: go for it then Arryn: keep up Igfig: make your attack rolls! Igfig: Each is +6 Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [5] = 11 Varus: with advantage! Varus: because stealth Igfig: that's right Arryn: 1d20+6 stealyh Fortuna: Arryn, stealyh: [5] = 11 Arryn: hahaha Igfig: well Igfig: I guess you miss with the shortsword Arryn: i miss with the Arryn: ok Varus: now hammer time Arryn: hammertime Arryn: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [18] = 24; 1d20+6: [12] = 18 Arryn: boom Varus: dats the stuff i do like Igfig: my, my, my Igfig: are you making that a Shoving Attack then? Arryn: no its hammertime Varus: blaze Igfig: I mean, are you using a Combat Superiority die Blaze: Si? Varus: im gunna need your quiet spell to really work in a sec Varus: cause im gunna thunderwave Arryn: ahh yes Blaze: It isn't a quiet spell Varus, it's a no one can track us and we are sneaky spell. Varus: dang Igfig: so that's +1d8 damage and they have to make a Str save or suffer an effect, either push, trip, or disarm Arryn: (whats a hammer damage??) Igfig: also you have your Sneak Attack, which applies here Varus: 1d10i think? Igfig: hammer deals 1d8 bludgeoning Arryn: 1d10+1d8 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d10+1d8: [4, 8] = 12 Arryn: oh Igfig: and sneak attack is 2d6 Varus: so 1d8+2d6+1d8 Varus: niiiceee Igfig: and don't forget to add your Dex mod, which is +3 Arryn: 1d8 instead of d10 Fortuna: Arryn, instead of d10: [1] = 1 Arryn: ha Arryn: 1+8+2d6+3 Fortuna: Arryn, 1+8+2d6+3: [5, 3] = 20 Igfig: nice Arryn: ughh so many numbers Varus: man thats actually pretty crappy Arryn: strentch save! Blaze: I dunno, that's over half my life. Varus: yeah but youre a nerd Varus: me too Varus: these are warriors Varus: stench save! Igfig: 1d20+2 Str save Fortuna: Igfig, Str save: [18] = 20 Varus: roll to not stink Varus: dANG Igfig: aw, was lucky Varus: :( Arryn: hang on i hit with a 24 Varus: that has nothing to do with the DC Arryn: o Igfig: your dc is just a flat 14 Arryn: ahh Varus: thats something ive had to explain to my dnd group EVERY GOD DAMN TIME the enemies make a save Igfig: hehe Varus: so is that arryns turn? Igfig: I think so! Unless you want to move some more Varus: maybe back up so orrin can get int Igfig: you won't provoke OAs because they're still surprised Varus: in* Arryn: uh can i go back into the room? Varus: oh wait its 10 feet Varus: maybe just block 1/2 of the exit Arryn: make them be like 'wtf' Blaze: Also new music cause that last song has been playing a while now. Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRGPQIX13EF88A87F6 Varus: i didnt even notice the last song : Varus: :( Varus: so did you move into the room ben Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRTTCVC1469AA897A6&jb=1 Blaze: There is the prior song then. Arryn: yes Igfig: Back into the room you were in before, or into the furnace room? Arryn: same room Igfig: ok Arryn: like in Arryn: BAM Arryn: out Varus quit. Igfig: gotcha Igfig: they don't know what hit them Arryn: :DDD Igfig: who was up next? Arryn: Orrin Igfig: Orrin! Varus2 joined #pwot_dnd. Varus2: crashed Orrin: Hello! Gimme one sec. Varus2: whats happenin Igfig: The lead warforged has walked right into your reach Igfig: (orrin's reach) Orrin: I guess for now I'll just whack him. Orrin: Save the big stuff for later. Igfig: all right Orrin: 2#1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [14] = 21; 1d20+7: [8] = 15 Varus2: dangit orrin Varus2: lets just obliterate them Igfig: That is indeed a hit Orrin: 2d6 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6: [1, 6] = 7 Orrin: 2#1d20 and again! Fortuna: Orrin, and again!: [10] = 10; and again!: [16] = 16 Igfig: just barely hits Orrin: 2d6 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6: [1, 3] = 4 Varus2: :I Arryn: always 1s Arryn: ^5 Orrin Igfig: Did you forget the Str bonus? Orrin: I always do! Orrin: So 19 total. Igfig: aright Igfig: Next up? Orrin: and I guess I'll throw a Divine Smite on that last one at level 1. Varus2: thatd be blaze Varus2: GET EM Varus2: plz Blaze: Okey dokey. Varus2: our get em sstatus has been low so far Igfig: oh wait, smite? Igfig: how much for smite Orrin: 2d8 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d8: [6, 7] = 13 Orrin: There we go. Arryn: haha Arryn: finally Blaze: Nice. Igfig: aha Blaze: 32 total then, yar. Varus2: yipee Igfig: Very smote, close to dead Varus2: is it THUNDER WAVE time? Blaze: Nope it is me time. Varus2: we're vgunna get bombarded with enemies guys Varus2: aw Igfig: It's Blaze's turn Blaze: Alright I think I have the movement to get behind that Charger in back right? Igfig: yeah, but there are some warforged in the way Blaze: What would happen if I turned into an allosaurus while getting there? Igfig: they don't get OAs this turn, but you still have to get through their spaces Igfig: oh, hmm Varus2: like in the middle fo them? Varus2: thatd be AWESOME Blaze: Like on top of them, yar. Arryn: wall crush them all Igfig: I think if you don't have space to transform, you can't... but they aren't exactly immovable walls Blaze: So maybe an athletics check to shove them around while transforming? Igfig: I guess I'll have them make Dex saves, and if they fail they'll take some damage and/or fall prone Blaze: Maybe an opposed check vs. my athletics? Blaze: Or just strength I suppose, yar. Blaze: Or something. Igfig: Yeah, I guess that'd be Overbearing. Sure, make an Athletics check Blaze: Right, so that is with the allosaurus strength cause otherwise this would be a terrible idea. Blaze: 1d20+7 athletics check. Fortuna: Blaze, athletics check.: [12] = 19 Igfig: 3#1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [8] = 8; 1d20: [3] = 3; 1d20: [8] = 8 Igfig: welp Varus2: AYYYYYY Varus2: blaze has achieved "gettin 'em" status Blaze: Suddenly, dinosaur. Igfig: all three of the middle warforged are knocked over Varus2: literally Igfig: question: are you doing the pounce attack on the charger? Igfig: Oh wait I don't think you have the distance for that Blaze_Allosaurus: I'm not sure if I'm moving far enough, yar, so I don't think I can. Igfig: yeah Blaze_Allosaurus: So I'll just skip straight for the biting. Igfig: aright Blaze_Allosaurus: Do I still have the advantage from stealth? Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+6: [5] = 11 Igfig: uh, let's say you do Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+6: [19] = 25 Arryn: hahah Blaze_Allosaurus: Much better. Igfig: oho Arryn: stealthiest allosaur ever Blaze_Allosaurus: 2d10+4+1d4 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 2d10+4+1d4: [10, 8, 4] = 26 Igfig: Even without stealth, they're still surprised Blaze_Allosaurus: So 22 piercing damage and 4 fire damage. Igfig: and whoa Blaze_Allosaurus: Also as per usual, my scales are emblazoned with flame motifs. Varus2: lame Varus2: dork Varus2: nerd Igfig: the charger is quite surprised, and your teeth crack its plating Orrin: Varus is a man of many monikers. Blaze_Allosaurus: I'm just happy that emblazoned is the word for that. Igfig: hah Arryn: em#blazoned Igfig: All right, anything else you're doing? Igfig: If not it's Varus' turn! Varus: aww yis Varus: awWWWWWWWWWW YIS Varus: so like Arryn: put a dino on the map Blaze_Allosaurus: I believe that is all, yar. Varus: if i launch out thunderwave Varus: can blaze roll to expand his we cant be heard spell to my thunderwave Varus: or use a fate point so we are not discovered Varus: cause dats hits louds Blaze_Allosaurus: I don't have any aspects relating to noise. Varus: well Blaze_Allosaurus: Also everyone is already on the ground. Varus: noise is just vibrations in the air Blaze_Allosaurus: Beneath my feet. Igfig: I think it's pretty hard to prevent a thunderwave from making noise Arryn: it is the name Orrin: Yeah, you're not gonna get that one. Varus: yeh ok Varus: so Varus: hm Varus: ok Varus: I go right up to the entrance of the hallway Varus: reach my cute lil hands in Arryn: i am using my "doesnt take none of your bullshit" aspect on that Varus: and SHOCKING GRASP the closest guy to me Blaze_Allosaurus: Oooh, actually now I'm thinking some killer instinct may be fun for music. Varus: which because they are made of metal Varus: gives them disadvantage on the dex save! Igfig: that'd be the front warforged I think Igfig: nice Varus: wait but they already have disadvantage from me being stealthy Varus: so what happens there Igfig: very disadvantaged Igfig: 2#1d20 dex save Fortuna: Igfig, dex save: [5] = 5; dex save: [4] = 4 Varus: does that exist Igfig: no Varus: doesnt matter! Varus: so thats Igfig: they failed regardless! Varus: 2d8 lightning Fortuna: Varus, lightning: [1, 8] = 9 Varus: noicew Varus: and Varus: THEN Varus: SONG OF THE SORCELATOR Igfig: awright Igfig: oh wait Igfig: uh Varus: yeah there should be a thing on that first i just remembered Varus: its a -2 to my hit Varus: buutttt Varus: itd be +2 to his save Varus: but thats still a failure by a large margin Igfig: the shocking grasp is enough to take down the lead warforged Varus: neato Blaze_Allosaurus: Time to sorcellate that charger. Igfig: they fall to the ground, sparks crackling across their body Varus: ill sorcelate the fuck out of him Varus: with my FROST BLAST RAY THING Igfig: and I think we said that Sorcelator doesn't actually impose a penalty any more? Varus: oh Varus: well sure then Igfig: I might be wrong Varus: 2#1d20+6 ray of frost on the charger Fortuna: Varus, ray of frost on the charger: [19] = 25; ray of frost on the charger: [3] = 9 Varus: YAS Varus: yassss bitch Varus: yasssss Igfig: good times Varus: 2d8 cold on the charger and hes slowed until my next turn Fortuna: Varus, cold on the charger and hes slowed until my next turn: [6, 2] = 8 Igfig: righto Blaze_Allosaurus: I can only think of that cat whenever anyone says yasss. Varus: and that would be my turn Varus: same Varus: i love that cat Igfig: righto! Igfig: Okay, the forged get to roll initiative now Igfig: 1d20 soldiers, 1d20 chargers Fortuna: Igfig, soldiers, 1d20 chargers: [11] = 11 Igfig: oops Igfig: that was for the soldiers I guess Igfig: 1d20 chargers Fortuna: Igfig, chargers: [10] = 10 Blaze_Allosaurus: so 11 for soldiers then, ayr. Varus: only ne soldier Igfig: also, a tip for keeping combat moving along well: write out what you're doing beforehand in a separate text file and then paste it in when your time comes Varus: SINCE THE OTHERS DEADDDDD Varus: ok Igfig: there are three soldiers left Igfig: and I think we're back to Arryn's turn! Blaze_Allosaurus: Si. Arryn: the frozen dude is brittle from being frozen and metal? Igfig: sure? Blaze_Allosaurus: Theres, also multiple prone warforged and an allosaurus between you and him. Igfig: Bit of an allosaurus and some warforged in the way Varus: well Igfig: yeah Varus: hes not brittle at all Varus: just slowed Arryn: i mean science here makes no sense so i see it either way Igfig: you'll need to Acrobatics your way over them if you want to get to the charger Arryn: where is the dinosaur Blaze_Allosaurus: Or the prone warforged means more advantage attacks. Varus: thats Varus: quite the question to ask Arryn: it didnt post on the map Blaze_Allosaurus: On top of the prone warforged. Varus: its in the middle of the hallway Arryn: ill just hit the first dude i hit again then Arryn: with a knife first right Igfig: all right Arryn: yes Igfig: way to miss the opportunity to ride a dinosaur Igfig: short sword, but yeah Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [13] = 19 Igfig: you have advantage becaue they're prone Arryn: shhh ig youll spoil it Igfig: also because they're adjacent to an ally Igfig: but yeah, that's a hit Varus: id have thought the dino was right up to the roof Varus: no room to ride there Igfig: damage is 1d6+3, plus 2d6 sneak attack Igfig: well, the dinosaur's tail maybe Arryn: 1d6+3+2d6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d6+3+2d6: [2, 5, 6] = 16 Igfig: word Arryn: so now! i will hammer him into something Igfig: you pierce that one's stomach joints; they arch in pain and then falls limp Igfig: dead Arryn: oh Arryn: aww Varus: hhaaaaaa fuckin TAKE THAT nerd Arryn: ok then, can i do a sick flip over the tail and onto the charger Igfig: sure! Acrobatics check Arryn: and land hammer first Arryn: 1d20+9 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+9: [17] = 26 Arryn: BOOOOM Igfig: Sickest flip Igfig: right onto the charger's back Blaze_Allosaurus: I was about to offer to assist if necessary since it is my tail, but that was clearly not necessary, yar. Igfig: nobody can even consider OAing Arryn: and 1d20+6 the warforged i am riding Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [1] = 7 Arryn: hahaha Igfig: advantage! Arryn: oh! Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [19] = 25 Blaze_Allosaurus: Sweet. Arryn: BOOOOOOOOOOM Igfig: You have advantage against anyone adjacent to an ally Arryn: cool cool Igfig: yEAH Blaze_Allosaurus: And boy oh boy are these guys adjacent to an ally. Varus: so who of the enemies are still alive Igfig: two soldiers, two chargers Arryn: i smash the warforged charger i am riding in the gut with my hammer Arryn: 2d8+3 Fortuna: Arryn, 2d8+3: [6, 4] = 13 Varus: i thought there was only 2 and 2 to start Arryn: 4 and 2 Blaze_Allosaurus: Plus sneak attack again. Igfig: nah, 4 and 2 Varus: ok Igfig: nope, jsut one sneak attack per turn Igfig: pretty sure Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh right. Arryn: yes Blaze_Allosaurus: Yar it is just once per turn. Blaze_Allosaurus: I was silly. Arryn: so now i am done Igfig: all right Igfig: Also, so you're on its back, but you smash it in the gut? Arryn: yeah Arryn: swinging around Arryn: max arc Igfig: it would look like you're giving it a hug around the neckalmost Arryn: kinda Igfig: hehe Igfig: anyway Arryn: :D Igfig: 29 damage, good round Igfig: okay, who's next? Blaze_Allosaurus: Orrin. Arryn: Orrin? Varus: Orrin! Orrin: HELLO Orrin: Alright, should I just kill this Charger? Orrin: We're still undetected, right? Varus: uh Varus: no Varus: i wouldnt think so Arryn: uhhh Orrin: I mean by the base. Igfig: uh no they know you're here now Arryn: i am riding it Orrin: Just these guys. Blaze_Allosaurus: These guys definitely know we are here. Igfig: oh, yes Igfig: the base at large does not know Orrin: I'll just attack the charger quietly then. Orrin: No advantage now, right? Arryn: i am adacent to it Igfig: well, Arryn is kinda flanking it for you I think Varus: thats only you Orrin: Nice1 Varus: arryn gets advantage on enemies next to allies Varus: we do not if they are next to you Igfig: it's distracted by her on its back, though Arryn: ohhhh Igfig: it's going to be pretty focused on her, so you'll have some better chances to hit Orrin: Coolio. Arryn: ;) Orrin: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [20] = 27 Orrin: DING Orrin: So 12. Orrin: And I could throw another Smite on there. Blaze_Allosaurus: And also strength again, so 16. Varus: thats max damage Igfig: no Varus: isnt your hammer 1d12 Varus: o Igfig: crits are roll twice for damage Orrin: Oh. Orrin: 2d6 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6: [1, 4] = 5 Orrin: 2d6 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6: [5, 2] = 7 Orrin: So 12. Blaze_Allosaurus: So 16 still cause of strength bonus. Igfig: yep Arryn: haha Igfig: if you smote you would also roll the smite dice twice Orrin: 2d8 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d8: [2, 2] = 4 Orrin: 2d8 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d8: [2, 3] = 5 Orrin: God dammit. Blaze_Allosaurus: 25 total, yar. Orrin: Well, 25 total. Igfig: you can roll it all at once, by the way. 4d6+4+4d8 Igfig: but nice Orrin: IS HE DEAD. Igfig: Bloodied! Arryn: do they have blood Blaze_Allosaurus: The chargers as as tough as they are scarier then soldiers. Igfig: Rears up in pain from Arryn's blow, and then you hit it again right in the same spot Arryn: ^5 Igfig: warforged don't have blood, but they do have this clear fluid that flows around in them Arryn: dont leave me hanging here Orrin Orrin: There is a comical DING sound. Igfig: I think it has to do with hydraulics Igfig: anyhoo Orrin: Did I make his clear fluid leak? Orrin: 1d20 High five Arryn Fortuna: Orrin, High five Arryn: [20] = 20 Orrin: It is the sickest high five. Arryn: made him piss himself Arryn: AWWW YEAHHH Arryn: the highest of 5s Igfig: with that mighty of a high five, yeah for sure Igfig: okay, I think the soldiers are next? Igfig: Or is it Blaze Arryn: yes Arryn: sold Blaze_Allosaurus: Soldiers. Igfig: The remaining soldiers struggle under Blaze's feet Arryn: chargeres Arryn: then blazes Igfig: one tries to get out from underneath Igfig: 1d20+2 Str check Fortuna: Igfig, Str check: [8] = 10 Igfig: Blaze, your Athletics? Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+7: [16] = 23 Blaze_Allosaurus: Yeah no. Igfig: haha Igfig: the other swings wildly at Blaze's underbelly, twice Igfig: 2#1d20+4 vs Blaze AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs Blaze AC: [15] = 19; vs Blaze AC: [12] = 16 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 vs Blaze AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs Blaze AC: [14] = 18; vs Blaze AC: [10] = 14 Igfig: 16 and 14 to hit Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh drats, they both managed to hit. Igfig: (disadvantage because prone) Igfig: ouch Igfig: 2#1d10+2 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d10+2: [6] = 8; 1d10+2: [7] = 9 Blaze_Allosaurus: Allosaurus don't have great ac, yar. Blaze_Allosaurus: So 17 damage then, alrighty. Igfig: damn Igfig: The first charger reaches onto its back to try and pull Arryn off Igfig: 1d20+4 Str check Fortuna: Igfig, Str check: [5] = 9 Arryn: (what to counter) Igfig: Athletics if you're going to try and hold on, Acrobatics if you're scrambling away from its hand Arryn: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+4: [6] = 10 Igfig: I guess it makes two attack though, it's got two grabby fists Igfig: 1d20+4 Str check Fortuna: Igfig, Str check: [12] = 16 Arryn: barely on Arryn: oh do i try to dodge both at same time? Igfig: I think you can make a check against each Arryn: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+4: [18] = 22 Igfig: haha Arryn: i am stuck like glue Arryn: i own this charger Igfig: you have mighty legs Arryn: its ass is mine Igfig: the other charger balls its fists and starts in on Blaze Blaze_Allosaurus: This reminds me of fun times with Thorn. Igfig: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+6: [2] = 8; 1d20+6: [11] = 17 Igfig: 2d6+4 damage Fortuna: Igfig, damage: [1, 5] = 10 Blaze_Allosaurus: Alrighty. Igfig: and that's all for them! Arryn: Blaze_Allosaurus! Blaze_Allosaurus: Now I get to do stuff, yar. Blaze_Allosaurus: I am going to snack down on that guy who swiped at my undersides. Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+6: [8] = 14 Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+6: [11] = 17 Igfig: that's a hit! Blaze_Allosaurus: 2d10+4+1d4 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 2d10+4+1d4: [9, 5, 1] = 19 Blaze_Allosaurus: So 18 piercing and 1 fire damage. Igfig: aaand bloodied Igfig: teeth marks all up their shoulders Blaze_Allosaurus: And I'm taking a beating on top of these guys, so but if I move they get attacks of opportunity even though they are prone, yar. Igfig: hopefully the others will be able to move in soon Igfig: So unless there's a bonus action you want to take, I think it's Varus now? Blaze_Allosaurus: Or maybe another fun idea, what if I jump on top of the other charger? Arryn: Varus get one under blaze i got this dude covered Varus: what do you mean Varus: throw one under his legs?? Varus: bodyish?? Blaze_Allosaurus: No I mean I jump as an allosaurus on top of the other charger, yar. Varus: ok Blaze_Allosaurus: That'd probably have been more of an action then a move action, yar. Varus: so what does ben want me todo Blaze_Allosaurus: Probably finish off the warforged I bloodied under my feet. Varus: cause my plan was just to launch magic missile at the dude under your feet Varus: yeah Arryn: yeah Varus: is it my turn? Arryn: yeah Varus: then that isss Blaze_Allosaurus: Igfig hasn't responded to my jumping idea yet. Varus: 3#1d4+1 damage on the guy under your feet from magic missile Fortuna: Varus, damage on the guy under your feet from magic missile: [3] = 4; damage on the guy under your feet from magic missile: [3] = 4; damage on the guy under your feet from magic missile: [1] = 2 Varus: get wrecked son Varus: so 10 total Igfig: aye, your missiles slam into their exposed legs Igfig: still alive, but only barely Varus: argh Igfig: and with that we're back to the top of the order Arryn: okay i am just gonna apeshit on this dude i am monkeybacking Igfig: Okay Arryn: 1d20+6 sword Fortuna: Arryn, sword: [9] = 15 Igfig: by the way, do note that you only have four superiority dice per rest Igfig: that's a hit, but roll again for advantage Arryn: oh i have to roll advantage? Arryn: aight Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [17] = 23 Igfig: aright Arryn: SORD Igfig: You should always roll both dice when you have advantage, because you might get a crit on the second Arryn: ok Arryn: 2d8+3+2d6 Fortuna: Arryn, 2d8+3+2d6: [8, 4, 2, 2] = 19 Igfig: But yeah, you've already used two superiority dice, and you'll need an hour's rest to get them back Arryn: two? Igfig: and now a third I guess Arryn: ????? Varus: save the other two Arryn: i thougt that was the push? Varus: for lord of blades Igfig: yeah, superiority die does +1d8 and an effect Arryn: OHHHHH Igfig: I guess we forgot to do the effect last turn Arryn: ok then can i take that one back this time? Igfig: sure Arryn: this turns not last on Igfig: so just 15 damage then Arryn: so only 15 Arryn: hang on now Arryn: d8 is hammer Igfig: oh, well this could have been your hammer attack instead Arryn: aight sure Igfig: In any case, you guys have about an hour and a half until Chydris reaches Thronehold Arryn: lets do that Igfig: so you'll have time for one short rest somewhere in here Arryn: and now sord Arryn: 2#1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [14] = 20; 1d20+6: [2] = 8 Igfig: (I'll give you another free rest just before you face the Lord of Blades) Arryn: 1d6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d6: [1] = 1 Igfig: that is another hit! Arryn: poke Igfig: and it'd be 1d6+3 Igfig: so 4 Arryn: 19 total! Igfig: ohh, it's on its last legs Arryn: wheeee Arryn: eeeee Igfig: Orrin I guess? Orrin: I guess I'll just uh... attack the charger again. Orrin: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [16] = 23 Orrin: 2d6 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6: [6, 2] = 8 Igfig: And with one last solid swing into its head and a distinctive CLUNK, the charger is felled Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh hey Igfig, reading the pounce thing, it says if the target is prone you can do a bite attack as a bonus action, would that only be if I had knocked it down with the charge prior, or would that be just prone in general? Igfig: Anything else doing? Arryn strike pose on dead body Orrin: I guess I'll just attack a soldier too Igfig: that's only with the pounce attack Orrin: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [4] = 11 Blaze_Allosaurus: Drats, alrighty. Igfig: they're prone Igfig: so advantage Orrin: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [3] = 10 Igfig: :( Blaze_Allosaurus: Ouch. Orrin: SAD Igfig: they're wriggling so hard! Igfig: The soldiers have seen that just attacking Blaze is fairly effective, so they continue to hack at him from prone Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [14] = 18; 1d20+4: [4] = 8 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [16] = 20; 1d20+4: [18] = 22 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [15] = 19; 1d20+4: [15] = 19 Igfig: 2#1d20+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20+4: [3] = 7; 1d20+4: [20] = 24 Igfig: two hits Blaze_Allosaurus: Well that is two hits again then. Igfig: luckily the potential crit missed Igfig: 2#1d10+2 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d10+2: [9] = 11; 1d10+2: [10] = 12 Blaze_Allosaurus: Yar, phew. Igfig: wow Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh man that was close. Igfig: right in the nether parts Orrin: I'll lay my hands on you next turn if you need. Blaze_Allosaurus: That was really really close. Blaze_Allosaurus: I'm still an allosaurus though. Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh right, I could have expended a spell slot as a bonus action to regen health last turn. Igfig: As your head rears back in pain, the charger reaches in with one hand to grab you around the neck... Igfig: 1d20+6 grab Fortuna: Igfig, grab: [15] = 21 Igfig: that hits you Blaze_Allosaurus: Yup. Igfig: and the other hand smashes into your chin Blaze_Allosaurus: Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaybe. Igfig: 1d20+6 atack Fortuna: Igfig, atack: [11] = 17 Igfig: 2d6+4 Fortuna: Igfig, 2d6+4: [6, 6] = 16 Igfig: gah Blaze_Allosaurus: Welp. Arryn: daaaaang Igfig: and the allosaurus is punched right out of you Blaze_Allosaurus: I don't think expending a spell slot last turn would have prevented that yar. Blaze_Allosaurus: I only had 1 allosaurus point left. Blaze_Allosaurus: So that i 15 to me, which is not fun. Igfig: you are left hanging in the charger's grip Orrin: I'll heal you. Orrin: Also, I'm gonna swear my Vow of Emnity against that Charger. Orrin: I now have advantage on attack rolls against it for one minute, or until it dies. Igfig: cool Igfig: it is Blaze's turn, I believe Varus: man it sure is great to be back here not being attacked Orrin: "YOU BASTARD. THAT DINOSAUR IS MY FRIEND." Blaze_Allosaurus: Yup, in the grip of the beast. Blaze_Allosaurus: Well maybe if you're magic missiles had finished the guy off Varrus! But yar. Igfig: note however Igfig: that the warforged are no longer being stood on Blaze_Allosaurus: ? Igfig: still prone though Blaze_Allosaurus: Yar. Orrin: Melt them, if you could, Varus. Igfig: they'll get OAs against whoever comes through there, unless they acrobat it Igfig: or they're dead Blaze_Allosaurus: So yar. Igfig: what are you doing Blaze Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh wait, I should probably roll a bunch of concentration checks for all those attacks. Blaze_Allosaurus: Since I was concentrating on pass without trace still. Igfig: oh Varus: do we really need that going Igfig: yeah I guess so Varus: since we're in the middle of this fight Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+3: [13] = 16 Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+3: [7] = 10 Varus: welp Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+3: [17] = 20 Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+3: [9] = 12 Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20: [11] = 11 Varus: wow Blaze_Allosaurus: Four for dino mode, and then one without dino mode. Igfig: just this turn's attacks, so... four checks I guess? Varus: they all pass Igfig: yeah, good there Igfig: good concentration bro Blaze_Allosaurus: So yar, being a dinosaur is good for focus apparently. Varus: so concentrated its ridiculous Blaze_Allosaurus: And I really don't want to be in this guy's grasp right now so athletics check to get out. Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20+3: [12] = 15 Igfig: dinosaurs are all about the hunt, they're good at foucsing Igfig: have you ever heard of a dinosaur with ADD Igfig: 1d20+4 athletics Fortuna: Igfig, athletics: [8] = 12 Blaze_Allosaurus: Whooo! Igfig: yay Blaze_Allosaurus: So I force my way out of his hand and this still isn't a good spot to be standing but I can't disengage. Igfig: you have your move and bonus action left Blaze_Allosaurus: Well I've been doing good so far, let's just go for it. Blaze_Allosaurus: Acrobatics to escape ahoy! Blaze_Allosaurus: 1d20 Fortuna: Blaze_Allosaurus, 1d20: [13] = 13 Blaze_Allosaurus: And by escape I mean avoid attacks of opportunity, yar. Blaze_Allosaurus: As I wish to retreat back to that side room. Igfig: let me check the tumbling rules Igfig: oh hmm Igfig: it looks like technically tumbling just lets you get through the enemies' space normally, it doesn't prevent OAs normally Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh dear. Igfig: I think it still should, but that roll shouldn't do it automatically Blaze_Allosaurus: I may just be stuck here then, yar. Igfig: the ones you're tumbling past will make acrobatics checks to try and make OAs Igfig: well, Dex checks Blaze_Allosaurus: Though actually I'm only standing next to the charger currently, maybe him and one of the warforged, so could be a worse spot to stand. Igfig: yeah Igfig: 1d20 charger Dex, 1d20 soldier dex Fortuna: Igfig, charger Dex, 1d20 soldier dex: [20] = 20 Varus: oh Igfig: whoops Blaze_Allosaurus: Yeah... Varus: HAHA GUESS THAT DOESNT COUNT HUH Igfig: also I have to stop using commas there Igfig: 1d20 soldier dex Fortuna: Igfig, soldier dex: [3] = 3 Igfig: well, the charger gets to try and make an OA Igfig: 1d20+6 vs Blaze AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs Blaze AC: [17] = 23 Blaze_Allosaurus: Yeah. Igfig: just going to grab you again I think Blaze_Allosaurus: I still am foolishly not wearing any armor, so yar. Igfig: it looks like you're right back where you started Igfig: sorry :( Blaze_Allosaurus: *shrug* Igfig: Varus turn, then? Varus: hmm Varus: whose left Varus: think im gunna do more than a baby magic missile this turn Arryn: (pssssst how long till this place explodes??) Varus: 1 round = six seconds Igfig: it's only been a few rounds Igfig: I like to think of rounds as being a bit longer than 6 seconds, but yeah you've still got lots of time Arryn: this charger is dead can i delete him Igfig: oh, yeah Varus: ok but whose left Varus: i dont got the map since i crashed Igfig: two soldiers, one charger Varus: ok Varus: how beat up is teh charger Igfig: only slightly it looks like Varus: hum Varus: ok Varus: can I reasonably reach him with a walk action Igfig: yes but you'd have to go through the warforged on the floor Varus: dang Varus: how beat up is the warforged Arryn: pretty Varus: so no blight on him Varus: i think im gunna go song of the sorcelator again Varus: first shocking grasp on the poor idiot on the floor Varus: dex save by him Varus: with dis Igfig: 1d20 des save Fortuna: Igfig, des save: [9] = 9 Igfig: fails Varus: ok Varus: so thats 2d8 and he cant take reactions Varus: 2d8 Fortuna: Varus, 2d8: [5, 4] = 9 Varus: noice Varus: then Igfig: well also just dead Varus: ray of frost at the charger to slow him Varus: yeah so he also cant take reactions Varus: gawd Varus: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+6: [3] = 9 Varus: aruuuugah Varus: is it a free action to kick the dead ones head Igfig: you miss the charger Igfig: freeze a light in the ceiling Varus: hm Igfig: sure Varus: how close am i to the leg Varus: of dino Igfig: there is no dino any more Varus: oh Varus: whered it go Varus: ok can someone link me the map Igfig: https://realtimeboard.com/app/28374467/D&D/ Igfig: dino turned back into blaze Varus: blaze shoudl CHECK HIS NAME THEN Blaze_Allosaurus: Oh whoops. Varus: ok Varus: hmm Varus: hes in the arms of his lover Blaze_In_The_Arms_of_a_Charger: This is one hell of an abusive relationship then. Varus: well im outa moves so ill end here Varus: beside W Igfig: you walked into the reach of the warforged? Igfig: oh, the dead one Varus: yeah Igfig: all right, Arryn's turn! Arryn: :) Arryn: alright i guess i should get the thing vader-ing Blaze_In_The_Arms_of_a_Charger Blaze_In_The_Arms_of_a_Charger: Also yar, no concentration checks for being grabbed, only damage. Arryn: can i reach it in my turn?? Igfig: easily Arryn: ok then! Igfig: you'll pass through the last prone soldier's threatened area Arryn: i does that then Igfig: but you can probably tumble right through that Arryn: probly Igfig: (acrobatics check) Arryn: oh was waitig for the attack Arryn: 1d20+9 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+9: [3] = 12 Orrin: Fortuna plz Arryn: :/ Arryn: ah Igfig: aw Igfig: 1d20 acrobatics Fortuna: Igfig, acrobatics: [8] = 8 Orrin: Fate it?

Arryn: 1d6+1d8+2d6+3 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d6+1d8+2d6+3: [3, 7, 3, 4] = 20 Igfig: good stuff Igfig: The charger is blooded Arryn: ur welcome Blaze_In_The_Arms_of_a_Charger Igfig: Stick the sword in a joint, then pound it in deep with the hammer Orrin: IF YOU NO WHAT IM SAYIN Arryn: uh i think im done Orrin: Can I specifically attack the Charger's arm and try to free Blaze? Igfig: Yeah, definitely Orrin: Rad. Orrin: Am I up? Arryn: yeah Igfig: maybe with disadvantage though Igfig: because this is a called shot, essentially Blaze_In_The_Arms_of_a_Charger: Well he did the thing to the guy, I forget what the thing does. Igfig: ? Orrin: Yeah I have advantages. Orrin: advantage* Igfig: oh right Orrin: So can I just roll naked? Igfig: so it cancels out Igfig: yeah Orrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20: [13] = 13 Orrin: +7 Orrin: I imagine that hits.

Igfig: 2#1d20+4 vs Orrin AC Fortuna: Igfig, vs Orrin AC: [8] = 12; vs Orrin AC: [10] = 14 Orrin: Probably, yeah. Igfig: for the OA Orrin: No luck. Igfig: well, it misses Igfig: so the OA misses you, but you smash the charger's hand Igfig: and it drops Blaze Varus: hurrah Blaze_In_The_Arms_of_a_Charger: Hurrah. Orrin: Yay Orrin: I guess I just attack it again. Igfig: and second attack? Orrin: Yeah. Orrin: With advantage now, since I'm just attacking. Orrin: 2#1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [7] = 14; 1d20+7: [14] = 21 Orrin: 2d6+4 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6+4: [3, 6] = 13 Igfig: quite Igfig: ooh, so close to dead Orrin: I'm not gonna smite again.

Igfig: Blaze is up! Igfig: you are probably going to kill it if you hit Varus: blaze Blaze: Yar, so I Produce a Flame for it. Varus: can you let me do this Igfig: (the charger, that is) Blaze: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+7: [4] = 11 Varus: blaze Varus: HAH Blaze: And I tossed the flame and the flame did not come in contact with him. Igfig: yep, I guess not Blaze: I'm still a bit whooooaaa from the pounding and grabbing earlier. Igfig: Varus? Igfig: unless you have more to do Blaze Varus: welp Varus: i guess ill finish him off Varus: with Varus: for the first time ever Arryn: Varus just hit that lone dude Varus: MY SHORTSWORD Varus: I walk forwards and slash! Igfig: what Igfig: why Arryn: yeah what Varus: because its literally the only opportunity ill ever have to use this thing Varus: its finesse so i can use dex for hit right Arryn: ...

CONSTRUCTed a one liner Igfig: yes, yes you do Igfig: okay, anything else? Or is it Arryn's turn? Arryn pushes varus out of the way as i go to hit the warforged he should have attacked Varus: nope Varus: thats it Varus: well i totally fuckin killed that enemy Varus: arryn? Arryn just sighs, shove, walk, hammertime Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [6] = 12 Igfig: that'd be a miss, but advantage! Arryn: fucking advantage man Arryn: every goddam time Igfig: being a rogue is great Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [2] = 8 Igfig: oh Arryn: FUCK YOUR ADVANTAGE Arryn: SWORDTIME? Blaze: Sword time. Arryn: 2#d1d20+6 fucking shit advantage Igfig: extra d in there Varus: u hecked up Igfig: that's what she said Igfig: wait no Arryn: 2#1d20+6 uggghhh Fortuna: Arryn, uggghhh: [3] = 9; uggghhh: [11] = 17 Igfig: that is a hit Arryn: 1d6+2d6+3 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d6+2d6+3: [6, 2, 2] = 13 Igfig: nice Igfig: unfortunately, that one was actually completely unhrmed so far somehow Igfig: so not even bloodied I'm afraid Varus: oh Varus: huh Varus: ok then Igfig: Orrin turn Arryn shakes head at Varus again Blaze: He didn't stab me so I didn't crush his head in my jaws. Varus: what Varus: i killed the one we were all surrounding Varus: now its 1v4 Blaze: But then he stabbed me later, so yar. Orrin: Orrin will, once again, attack. Varus: yeah but Varus: see Orrin: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [5] = 12 Igfig: well, he did stab you later I think Varus: i got to use my sword Igfig: miss Orrin: ALAS. Orrin: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+7: [11] = 18 Igfig: that's a hit Orrin: 2d6+4 Fortuna: Orrin, 2d6+4: [4, 4] = 12 Orrin: He has been whacked. Igfig: bloodied now! Solid whack to the chest Orrin: That's what I like to hear. Igfig: The soldier takes this as an opportunity to try and retreat Varus: literally all of us are in the way of his exit Arryn: where Igfig: making a morale check to see just how disciplinedly Blaze: He didn't say it was a good opportunity. Igfig: 1d20 wis Fortuna: Igfig, wis: [13] = 13 Igfig: okay, has enough presence of mind to at least take the Disengage action Igfig: runs through the furnace room to try and escape out the other hallway Igfig: that's their whole turn Varus: the other hallway is the cargo exit i thought Blaze: If only I was still a dinosaur, this would be a great opportunity for that pounce charge thing. Varus: oh no i see now Igfig: the south thing is the cargo bay Igfig: scrap ba rather Igfig: Blaze and Varus Varus: its blazes turn Igfig: Can you stop this fleeing fool Varus: yes i can Igfig: Yeah, but I want to wrap this up Varus: ok Igfig: so whoever rolls first can act Varus: RAY OF FROST Varus: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+6: [8] = 14 Blaze: Yar so I go and I suppose I Produce more Flame. Varus: aw Blaze: 1d20+6 also. Fortuna: Blaze, also.: [3] = 9 Igfig: Miss! Varus: HAH Igfig: Also miss! Blaze: Oh dear. Varus: GOOD THING Varus: i have song of the sorcelator! Blaze: Varus this isn't a time to laugh at misses. Blaze: We don't want him to get away, yar. Varus: i use minor illusion and conjur a sound of people running towards him from the other hallway! Blaze: Or you could just shoot him? Varus: i cant use the same spell twice from song of the sorcelator Varus: and its only cantrips Blaze: Oh dear. Varus: ray of frost is my only ranged attack cantrip Orrin: Can't you just like... us a spell? Orrin: A regular one? Varus: no Varus: this is rlly my only option since i used ray of frost Igfig: just two cantrips Varus: youve told me before it has to be different ones Varus: otherwise its just advantage on a spell Igfig: yeah, it does have to be two different ones Varus: yeah Igfig: I meant just now that it had to be two cantrips, not a cantrip and a regular spell Varus: so i used minor illusion to make him think hes running into another group of us Varus: minor illusion is a cantrip Igfig: aye Varus: cause what idiots try to invade the fortress with just 4 people Igfig: 1d20 wis Fortuna: Igfig, wis: [17] = 17 Varus: argh Varus: beats my spellsave Blaze: Do you have any aspects to give him disadvantage on that? Igfig: well, the soldier doesn't stop... must think they're reinforcements against you Varus: ermm Igfig: That's not even a Wis save or anything Varus: i do not Blaze: Or vice versa, I could fate point for more fire. Varus: unless you guys have something to reinforce my illusion? Blaze: Yeah I'm going to fate point for MORE fire. Varus: like add something Igfig: that's just a check to see how the soldier would interpret the illusion Igfig: two of you still have more actions though Blaze: I suppose they can reach him, yar. Arryn: how far away are we from it Varus: not too far Igfig: about 30' Blaze: Probably a full movement is all. Arryn: perfect Igfig: arryn, being a rogue, can run especially fast if she desires though Arryn: 30 is enough on its own tho Igfig: not like you need it, but even if the soldier were 60' ahead you could still catch up and make an attack Igfig: yes Arryn: i like this turn thing because in my mind i just stood there, watched him go 30', then now hes stopped waiting for me Igfig: heh Arryn: its all so polite Arryn: anyway yeah if waffles done i go poke him again Igfig: I think varus is done yes Varus: hea Varus: yeah Arryn: "not so fast" or somesuch Arryn: do i have advantage now so far from everyone Igfig: afraid not Arryn: FINALLY Arryn: good lord Igfig: not without an aspect invoke Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [5] = 11 Arryn: and hammer Arryn: 1d20+6 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+6: [19] = 25 Arryn: THERE Igfig: therrrre we go Arryn: dont need no advantage Arryn: 1d8+2d6+3 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d8+2d6+3: [1, 1, 2] = 7 Arryn: HAHAHA Arryn: runnnnn poke Igfig: oh for shit's sake Varus: HE EXPLODES Varus: hows that sound Igfig: the soldier is still alive Blaze: It's always these guys who run away from us that we have a hard time finishing off. Igfig: yeah let's just say the solder dies anyway Igfig: trips and falls and dies Arryn: hahaha Igfig: because it's 10:10 already and I always forget how LONG even routine fights take on IRC Arryn walks back to group, just glaring at Varus Varus: hey man Varus: other ones dead Varus: it all worked out Igfig: okay Igfig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-YCN-a0NsNk Igfig: good job Varus: yipee Varus: lets get goin Arryn: "we're trying to get this done quickly, with as few people knowing as possible" Blaze: Good news everyone, Pass Without Trace is still up. Blaze: So there is no trace of us on any of these dead guys. Igfig: so I think that at this rate we might not get to the final battle by next session Varus: excellent Varus: i blame igfig Igfig: probably Igfig: I think this might be a good time for a pee/snack break Varus: maybe if youre LAME Igfig: i'm pretty lame Varus: oh Varus: ok then Igfig: back in 5, everyone Igfig: and I am back Igfig: in exactly 5 Igfig: shall we get started again, or is everyone else still peeing Varus: wait its already been 5 minutes Varus: aw man Igfig: minutes are faster than you think Varus: gimme 1 minute i was shopping in this game Igfig: it's ok though, no rush Orrin: I'm here. Blaze: Dun dun duns. Varus: the waffle Varus: is back Varus: btw guys i thought about it Varus: you should be glad i cut its head off Varus: cause if not i would have gone for the shocking grasp Varus: and then Varus: that 20 would have been its saving throw Igfig: is that how that works Blaze: But it would have had disadvantage and had to roll a second time. Blaze: Cause it is made of metal. Varus: that is how you coded fortuna right? Varus: with rng Arryn: yo Varus: somethign like detect blank d blank and rng a number between those two Igfig: oh yeah, I suppose all the rolls are on the same Random object Varus: it creates a pool and throws out the first one Varus: yeah Igfig: so that is true Igfig: all is fated Varus: yeah Varus: thats also kinda how i manipulate fortuna sometimes Varus: sorry Igfig: that wouldn't do anything Varus: no i mean like Varus: its not really manipulation Varus: its more like Arryn: 1d20 fate????????? Fortuna: Arryn, fate?????????: [15] = 15 Varus: using what general idea of number i know is coming next Varus: FATE Varus: ok Varus: ok Varus: lets continue Igfig: you can't know what number is coming next, it's still an RNG Igfig: unless you have the seed Igfig: anyway Arryn: alright, so i just said words about stupidity at Varus Arryn: now what Varus: that isss true Varus: well Varus: we probably werent caught Blaze: Well we are good and still primed for stealth. Varus: who votes we use their corpses to disguise ourselves Igfig: you have about eightish minutes before the hole gets melted in the furnace Igfig: what do you want to do Varus: im saying corpse disguise Varus: im not hearing anyone against this idea Varus: varus begins tear the nearest corpse limb from limb to wear it Blaze: We don't need to use their corpses for disguises though? Blaze: Cause we are ridiculously stealthy still? Varus: but why Varus: we'll have to roll stealth rolls again later Varus: why leave that up to chance when we can bluff past Blaze: Pass Without Trace remains, yar. Arryn: i will not wear a corpse it will slow me down Igfig: it's hard to jut use a corpse directly as disguise, in any case Varus: i always assumed warforged were hollow Varus: like Al from fMA Igfig: no Igfig: not at all Varus: oh Varus: welp Varus: lets just stealth then Arryn: RACIST Blaze: They have muscles and fluid and stuff. Varus: yeh Varus: varus's studies were in warforged Varus: they were in doomsday devices Varus: LETS MOVE ON THEN Igfig: yes, what do you want to do Varus: just peek through the door i guess Arryn: be not here in 8 minutes Varus: i agree with that Arryn: 1d20+19 restealth Fortuna: Arryn, restealth: [4] = 23 Varus: lets charge through the door scooby doo style Varus: jesus man Arryn: ehh Igfig: typical warforged: http://dungeonsmaster.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/warforged-02.jpg Blaze: 1d20+10 stealth Fortuna: Blaze, stealth: [17] = 27 Varus: where the dicks does that 19 come from Igfig: anyway Blaze: Natural stealth bonus +pass without trace. Arryn: 19 comes cause im the best Varus: whats pass without trace add Igfig: it's spelled dabes, Ben Igfig: +10 Varus: oh ok Varus: lets gOOOO Varus: 1d20+11 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+11: [13] = 24 Varus: c: Orrin: 1d20+10 stealth Fortuna: Orrin, stealth: [20] = 30 Varus: FUCKING Varus: ORRIN AGAIN Varus: THE 20 STEALTH Igfig: how is Arryn the least stealthy this time Blaze: Varus and orrin swapped stealth rolls from last time. Arryn: hahaha Blaze: I got the same roll as last time. Varus: so we stealthy stealth out the door Varus: and creep creep tip toe down the halls Varus: we should have some kind of direction check to angle towards the engines Arryn looks out door Igfig: there wasn't really a door, but yeah Igfig: the corridor the warforged came down? Arryn: yes Varus: yeah Igfig: you can see that the corridor goes straight for a ways, larger door on the right, smaller door on the left, and then there's a T intersection Varus: can i roll an int chck Varus: for my knowledge of automobiles Varus: for where i think the engines would be Igfig: the light is dim down here, so you can only barely make out the intersection Varus: i have dark vision Blaze: Also have dark vision, and orrin has dark vision. Blaze: Arryn doesn't though. Igfig: oh okay Arryn: i dont Varus: so its still dim for someone ig Varus: dont worry Arryn: :/ Igfig: In any case, yeah you can make that check Varus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+3: [13] = 16 Igfig: all right Varus: i once worked on a large armored tank Varus: it didnt pull through testing Igfig: yeah, you think that the engines would be up closer to the front Varus: lets head up there then gents Varus: how long is this thing total Igfig: if this place were a shoe, it would be around the toe-knuckles Varus: great Varus: fuckin ok Varus: so how long is it Igfig: that is a good question that I have been trying to answer Varus: man of ALL the Varus: comparisons you could make Igfig: argonth totally looks like a shoe Arryn: it does Varus: sure ok maybe if ur lame Varus: lord of blades lacks any sense of design Igfig: he didn't design this Varus: WHATEVER Varus: lets get goin Varus: to the toe knuckle Varus: the gross toe knuckle Varus: anything in particular happen as we go? Igfig: but let's see, at normal capacity this is a town of 1600 Igfig: how big would a town that size be Varus: ermm Varus: honestly not too big Varus: based on population density maybe like Varus: less than a mile long? Igfig: definitely less than a mile Varus: so if its 1/4th as wide as it is long Varus: im going with Igfig: here's a picture of the fortress: http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090108212855/eberron/images/e/e6/Argonth.jpg Varus: 750 meters Varus: actully 750 looks a little too much Varus: maybe more like 400 Igfig: yeah Varus: lets even it to 500 meters long Igfig: it's like the size of a battleship maybe? How many people live on a battleship? Varus: uh Varus: well traditionally zero Blaze: I am unaware. Varus: about a platoon Varus: i think Varus: no Varus: thats not the right word Varus: i forget the word im looking for here Blaze: Nah navy is very different from army I'd think. Varus: but enough to drive: maintainance is like 8 people Varus: and then people to man some guns Blaze: We could say a crew, but that is both a no duh and probably not helpful. Varus: so maybeee Varus: 50 Igfig: An Iowa-class battleship had between 1800 and 2700 in its complement Blaze: I think maintenance would be more then 8 people, yar. Arryn: last active one crewed 2700 Varus: DANG Varus: see i was basing this off of the cracked show thats on right now Varus: starship icarus Igfig: that is not a good comparison Arryn: ... Varus: shrug Varus: this has a city on top Igfig: the Iowa was about 270m long Varus: jesus Varus: so this is only like Blaze: So 300 then? Varus: 100 meters Blaze: Well, let me find a picture of the iowa. Igfig: let's say between 200 and 300 metres Igfig: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iowa-class_battleship#mediaviewer/File:BB61_USS_Iowa_BB61_broadside_USN.jpg Blaze: Yar I found a picture of the Iowa under the golden gate bridge I'm guessing. Igfig: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/e/ea/BB61_USS_Iowa_BB61_broadside_USN.jpg Blaze: I'm thinking this thing is longer then the Iowa, but more sparsely populated. Igfig: there Arryn: thats just like 3 sports fields Varus: that looks less than 3 Varus: the iowa i mean Varus: ok Varus: so Varus: 300 meters Igfig: sure Varus: less populated Igfig: that's about 1000 feet Blaze: Nice round number. Varus: mmmm Varus: slurp Varus: so its only 300 meters Varus: i thought it was like 1500 at first Arryn: bit less than a fifth a mile? Arryn: this thing is tiny Igfig: a rough measurement from the picture puts the heel part of the fortress at about 1/6 its total length Igfig: so 160 feet Arryn: 1000 feer is like two city blocks Orrin: Yeah it's really not that far. Varus: this is a sad and pathetic battle ship Arryn: christ this is small Blaze: It's pretty big by this world's scale though. Varus: i guess Varus: also lame Arryn: pfff Igfig: this is very massive by this world's scale Varus: oh well Igfig: it's one of only three that were made Varus: lets meander through these hallways Arryn: TWO BLOCKS LONG Igfig: it is about the size of an actual fortress Varus: so this would take like Varus: 3 minutes to walk across Orrin: At a slow walk. Arryn: yes Arryn: crawling Orrin: You can walk a 10-minute mile at like... a reasonably brisk pace. Varus: these are hallways though Blaze: Well we will be doing a slow walk to stay stealthy, so yar. Varus: so to get to the engine room Igfig: the hallways aren't perfectly straight, either Varus: 5 ish minutes through the halls then? Arryn: the_ghost_of_frosty crossed it in two rounds Arryn: the whole ship Igfig: it was a lot more than two rounds, Frosty Orrin: CALLED OUT. Arryn: not the way you narrated it Orrin: Give me a second I have a very sudden poop. Orrin: I vote for retreating to a safe distance from the explosion and stealing back the Frosty. Varus: yeah by the way Orrin: If we can,. Varus: do we see like Varus: scorch marks all over or anything Varus: large huge messes Arryn: yes Orrin that is a good plan Varus: from the frosty attack Arryn: we did coming in Varus: i know i mean in our journey through the hallways Varus: of rivet city Varus: HAH Igfig: The Frosty is tied to the tallest tower of the back section Igfig: by a long cable Blaze: We've come in from the bottom, yar, he was never down here. Arryn: anyway yeah i vote for plan steal back to the frosty and wait for boom Igfig: I don't know how they get up and down it Varus: sire Varus: sire Varus: sure Varus: so how are we getting through these halls Varus: they are prob swarming Igfig: it looked to be in pretty bad shape Igfig: also, no elemental in the ring Arryn: so? Arryn: its tied Igfig: it can't move under its own power without an elemental Blaze: They dont' know we are here, it might not be swarming. Igfig: these halls down here are not really swarming, no Varus: even still Igfig: most of the warforged are arraying themselves in the upstairs parts, preparing to march forth Varus: can wejust say we sneak past everything and make it to the general area of the engines? Igfig: well Igfig: you could try to do that, yes Igfig: but I'm not going to skip straight to that Igfig: because how you get there could be relevant Varus: ok Varus: so i assume theres some kind of maps down here? Igfig: and there are potentially interesting things throughout the fortress Varus: or some sort of navigation Varus: hmmm Varus: truueeee Varus: but honestly i think itd be Varus: ooh Varus: ooOOHHH Varus: guys Varus: how about Igfig: not really any maps Varus: we find the weapons depot Varus: maybe take some bombs Varus: to aid in our explosion of the engines Blaze: That would be handy, but a weapons depot would be a place swarming with warforged right now. Varus: yeah Varus: but Varus: see Varus: also Varus: bombs Igfig: also, not to be pushy or anything, but four minutes Varus: arryn could go in alone Orrin: I think we should probably hurry. Varus: and also Varus: if it explodes Varus: there will be significantly less people Varus: when the meltdown happens i mean Varus: arryn is supes stealthy Igfig: when it explodes, people will come here to investigate Orrin: She's not invisible, though. Varus: to where? Varus: ACTUALLY ORRIN Varus: SHE CAN BE Igfig: to the furnace area Blaze: Yar, we want to disable the fortress before it gets to Thronehold preferably. Varus: WITH MY INVISIBLITY SPELL Orrin: If there are people in the room I doubt she can steal any bomb of any real power. Orrin: Can she pick things up without them just... floating down the hallway? Igfig: there will be fewer people in the rest of the lower levels of the fortress though Varus: she could put them under her coat Varus: then itd join the invisibility spell Orrin: So... any bombs small enough to fit in our spy's presumably pretty tight coat. Varus: yes Varus: or any pockets really Orrin: Probably not worth the risk. Varus: how are we gunna blow the engines then Varus: gimme your idea Orrin: Bombs likely to hurt this fortress are not going to be small enough to steal. Igfig: also I'm not entirely sure bombs are super a thing in Eberron Orrin: We don't have to blow them up, we just have to break them. Igfig: just because magic tends to be more efficient Varus: even like grenades Orrin: When they turn off, the fortress sinks and floods. Varus: magical fire grenades Varus: scrolls of an explosive spell Varus: anything that could help us Arryn: Orrin and i can just hammer them Igfig: you'd probably have a scroll of fireball instead of a grenade Varus: otherwise our plan is my fire blasts and orrins hammer Orrin: Seriously, we just need to break them for a minute. Varus: unless blaze can morph into a dragon Orrin: Until it hits the water. Orrin: And then the water will do the rest. Blaze: Dragons are not beasts I'm afraid. Varus: the more chaos we sew the better Arryn: yeah Varus no Varus: the warforged wont all just die Igfig: Three minutes Orrin: SOW. Varus: argh Varus: whatever Orrin: Two against one, let's find the engines. Varus: sewing is a good passtime too Varus: Varus is gunna go on his own then Varus: cause in fact Varus: its Varus: FOR THE GOOD OF US ALL Orrin: It's... it's really not. Varus: Varus sneaks off ahead of everyone to find a weapons depot huffing Arryn punches Varus Arryn: for not taking bullshit Igfig: okay Varus, we had that description of the hallway form before Varus: which one Igfig: oh I guess it's scrolled offscreen now Igfig: one sec Varus: dang Igfig: "you can see that the corridor goes straight for a ways, larger door on the right, smaller door on the left, and then there's a T intersection" Blaze: Varrus I'd suggest not splitting up the party, yar. Arryn goes generally forward to engines while Varus goes gets caught Arryn: shh Blaze let him die Varus: then come with me blaze Varus: blaze think of it like this Varus: in a weapons depot Blaze: That is still splitting the party. Orrin: I think the engines will be in the back. Varus: theres gunna be something for big explosions Varus: like Varus: a Varus: fireball Varus: spell Orrin: For an army of robots. Orrin: In a giant metal fortress. Varus: we can grab all that fire and unleash it on the engines Varus: and explode it Orrin: They just happen to have a scroll of fireball that we can find in our three minutes. Blaze: I'm pretty sure the engines would go down with plenty of fire as is. Igfig: Two minutes, now Varus: argghh Varus: fine Varus: lets go to the engines Blaze: Alrighty. Varus: btw ig we havent just been sitting at the entrance to the cargo bay Varus: we moved a litttle bit im sure Orrin: I imagine these hallways don't count as "underground." Varus: well Varus: it could Igfig: well in a dungeon situation you kinda have to say specifically where you'e going Varus: orrin has stone sense right Varus: metal is sort of stoney?? Igfig: because then I will have to describe more things Orrin: I do, but this is not stone. Igfig: you are not underground Orrin: Heading to the back of the ship. Igfig: and this is mostly not stone Igfig: there is some stone Igfig: uh Arryn just goes with Orrin Igfig: you were at the back of the fortress already Orrin: Oh. Igfig: it's hard to go much further back Varus: no orrin Orrin: Then we head forward, trying to stay toward the center as much as possible. Varus: i rolled int remember Varus: i worked out the engines are nearish the front Varus: knuckle on the foot Orrin: Oh then we go there. Varus: yeah Igfig: okay, you go forward to the T intersection Arryn does that Arryn: yes Varus: lets go right right is always right Varus: or we can listen Arryn: 1d2 1=right Fortuna: Arryn, 1=right: [1] = 1 Varus: right it is! Varus: told you Igfig: the right hallway goes for about 10 feet and stops at a door; the left one goes about 30 and then turns right Arryn: fuck doors Blaze: That means when the left way turns right it is going forwards again. Arryn: lets go left Igfig: all right Varus: oh Varus: yeah Varus: left Varus: left it is Varus: we take left Varus: left hoh Blaze: Oh right, back to infiltration music. Blaze: http://labs.echonest.com/Uploader/index.html?trid=TRKAABF13EFD279E5B Igfig: after the right turn, the hallway continues on straight for quite a distance, with two doors on each side Igfig: and then there's another T intersection Varus: lets go right this time again Arryn: i am adjusting the map for accuracy Varus: im FEELIN right Varus quit. Blaze: Are we aware of how far we've traveled? Might have to roll for that. Orrin: Do we hear any sounds. mr_boo joined #pwot_dnd. Orrin: Or see more pipes coming/going from one directoin? mr_boo: whenever my audio dies and i refresh for infinite loop firefox crashes Arryn: 1d20 hear sounds Fortuna: Arryn, hear sounds: [13] = 13 Igfig: You see that both directions of the T intersection lead to doors. The one to the right is larger though Varus: SOUNDS GOOD Varus: to the right! Orrin: Bigger one it is. Igfig: mostly you hear the sound of the air systems--wait, actually why would they bother with those, they don't breathe Igfig: oh, I guess the air might get smoky down here though Blaze: it wasn't built for warforged though. Varus: that too Blaze: Was it? Varus: it was not Igfig: yeah, they would turn it off if they didn't need it Varus: hmmm Varus: then why do they need it Igfig: well, it was built for humans and warforged Varus: also hey Varus: who wants to crawl through air vents Blaze: That might be viable actually if they are large enough and aren't running. Varus: woo! Varus: varus looks to the nearest airvent Igfig: there don't seem to be much out of the ordinary, pipes-wise, in these corridors Igfig: the vents do look large enough to crawl through Arryn: has it been BOOM time yet Blaze: 1d20+7 survival to figure out how far we have traveled. Fortuna: Blaze, survival to figure out how far we have traveled.: [6] = 13 Varus: its prob only been like 20 seconds Varus: we'll know boom time Varus: wait lets Varus: not go through the vents Varus: they will pump them to max when boom happens Igfig: I said I think the air would be running, because it would get hard to see down here otherwise Varus: then we're stuck in whirling blades of death land Blaze: Yar. Varus: so normally through the ship then Arryn: :/ Igfig: you're not 100% sure, but you think you must be out of the heel section by now Varus: of the giant shoe Arryn: whew Blaze: Alright, so that right door is the more central portion of the ship, the left way keeps us on the outskirts. Igfig: uh, I should have mentioned that there was a staircase up around where the right turn was Varus: :I Igfig: anyway Igfig: I mean, it was part of the hallway Blaze: So left small door or right big door? Arryn: :\ Igfig: you turned right and went up the stairs. Still on a lower level. Igfig: just not the lowest level Arryn: small Arryn: small door Varus: engines are never at the lowest level so thats good Varus: no BIG door Varus: theyd need to cart fuel in Blaze: Do they? Arryn: fortuna small door? Fortuna: Signs point to yes. Varus: probably>? Blaze: Remember Frosty's engine? Varus: hmmm Varus: that is true Varus: ok Varus: small door Arryn: Fortuna says small Blaze: That was pure fire elemental. Igfig: okay Igfig: the small door appears to be sealed Varus: not on my watch Varus: arryn lockpick Igfig: not locked, just like there's one of those wheels int he middle Varus: ooh Varus: lets fuckin spin it then Varus: varus spins Igfig: like it's only openable from this side Blaze: Is there a window? Arryn: weels? Blaze: Oh that is sounding like not the direction then. Varus: hell naw Varus: this shit is opening so hard Varus: its gunna be a prison Igfig: no window Varus: someones gunna be in here Arryn: Fortuna said yes Varus: im FEELING this Varus: exactly Varus: VARUS SPINS Arryn readies hammer Igfig: with a chunk chunk chunk noise, the wheel turns Arryn: can you ready weapons in dnd Igfig: and the door slowly opens Igfig: (yeah but it's mostly cosmetic) Varus: and its BEN Arryn: what Igfig: Inside it's quite dark Arryn: not ben then Arryn: frosty glows Varus: maybe ben is hurt Varus: also igfig Varus: dark vision Varus: on all of us Arryn: besides ben is Arryn Igfig: the room is a fairly long one, extending off to the right Igfig: oh right Varus: but arryn Igfig: hah Orrin: Yeah we see everything. Blaze: We ate our carrots. Arryn squints Igfig: well, it looks like the walls are lined with sort of sturdy metal shelves... or not shelves so much, because the spaces are vertical instead of horizontal Igfig: slots, I guess Igfig: and in each slot Orrin: SHARDS Orrin: THE SHARDS Orrin: LET'S TAKE EM Igfig: something that looks like a suit of armour's body and head Orrin: Damn. Igfig: or no, a warforged Varus: lets take it anyways Igfig: as you take a step inside Varus: GOD IGFIG Igfig: the first one's eyes flicker on. "H. H. H. Hello." Varus: i punch it Orrin: "HI!" Orrin: No. Orrin: We might be able to use them. Blaze: Or at least not fight them. Varus: fine Varus: i punch it with my eyes Arryn: "hi" Igfig: other eyes on limbless bodies start to light up, slowly Igfig: a few heads turn to look at you Blaze: Oh these guys don't have limbs. Igfig: flickers of recognition Orrin: They are the shards! Orrin: "Thakastai, is that you?" Arryn: "who?" Blaze: Did we tell Arryn about them? Orrin: "A dream-eating terrorbeast Frosty slept with." Arryn: you told me there were quorri in shards you stole Igfig: do any of you remember this symbol Igfig: http://gyazo.com/adfb0bea924c4006999b65827be695c3 Varus: there is Varus: in some Varus: nope Blaze: I almost do. Orrin: I personally don't, but can we roll int to see if we do? Varus: 1d20+dicks Igfig: Maybe a Wis check would be more appropriate here Varus: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+2: [15] = 17 Orrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20: [5] = 5 Blaze: Any skills or other things for proficiency? Blaze: 1d20+4 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+4: [14] = 18 Varus: history Igfig: just Wis Varus: ok Arryn: 1d20+2 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+2: [8] = 10 Igfig: Yeah, you've definitely seen this symbol before Igfig: quite a lot Igfig: it was on Chain's holy symbol Varus: aah Varus: so yes Igfig: and it was on a lot of the Godforged Orrin: I thought that was it. Varus: these arethe shards Igfig: and it is on a lot of these bodies Blaze: Oh right, yar, oh man these are his buddy's then. These are the Godforged. Igfig: "What. Who are." Blaze: It looks like things maybe didn't go so well after we left for them. Varus: i dont think its godforged Blaze: For them after we left. Orrin: "Friends. We're here to stop the Lord of Blades from killing a lot of people." Arryn: "Where are the engines on this ship" Blaze: "Where is Chain?" Igfig: "Akk. Ak. Akkk." Varus: "yeah that makes sense" Igfig: "Why did." Igfig: The others echo the first Igfig: "Why did. Why did." Blaze: Guys I think things went badly for them because we didn't warn them properly during our escape. Arryn: "We need the engines to shut down the ship to stop this" Varus: i gave a message! Varus: oh shit Varus: maybe we should find chain Orrin: "I'm very sorry about whatever that monster did to you. We'll do anythign we can to help, but first we have to stop this ship." Blaze: I asked where Chain is, yar. Igfig: "Yes." Igfig: "When. T. T. T. Four." Varus: "great" Varus: i walk through the things Varus: and look for chain Igfig: perception Orrin: 1d20 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20: [9] = 9 Varus: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+5: [14] = 19 Igfig: neither of you sees him here Arryn: 1d20+5 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+5: [11] = 16 Varus: curses Varus: hes somewhere tho Varus: well these guys are useless Blaze: I'll try too, yar. Varus: who votes Varus: we pull the plug Arryn: wait i never met him Blaze: 1d20+7 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+7: [19] = 26 Blaze: Also nah no pulling the plug, they might be able to be repaired later, yar. Igfig: you are certain that Chain is not among these poor souls Varus: i srsly doubt that Orrin: Guys if we sink this boat, these guys are almost certainly going to die. Varus: theyd be better off dead Varus: what if we fail tho Varus: we also get to foil their scheem Varus: by destroying it right here at the source Arryn: "Look, if you tell us where the engines are we can put an end to this" Orrin: I'll leave that to the scientist. Igfig: "Four" Varus: orrin Varus: I Orrin: "Fourth floor?" Arryn: okay so its behind door number 4 lets go Varus: AM Varus: THE SCIENTIST Orrin: I know, I was saying it's your call. Varus: hrmm Arryn goes to big door Varus: igfig Igfig: yes? Varus: can i roll an intelligence based healing check Varus: to see if these guys can be cured Varus: or fixed Igfig: sure Varus: and i willllllll Varus: ok Varus: 1d20+3 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+3: [20] = 23 Varus: WOOP Igfig: wow Igfig: well Igfig: yes, in theory you could put new arms and legs on them, and they'd probably have to learn to walk and pick things up again Varus: what about their brains Igfig: and it would take a lot of work since warforged aren't something that are in general production any more Igfig: although I suppose any warforged might want to buy a replacement limb, so maybe those are still being made Igfig: their minds, well Igfig: prognosis is less good Arryn goes back out to the hall to stand wach while everyone else is having a sad party Igfig: some of them, maybe Igfig: probably not all Orrin: I think we pull the plug then. Varus: hmm Varus: buttttttttt Varus: if we can save even one Varus: varus decides we need to try and save them Varus: see what we can do Arryn: for the good of all Igfig: what does pulling the plug even mean in this context Varus: well just flat out destroying them Igfig: they aren't on life support or anything, they're just stacked in these racks Orrin: Well, I think if you want to try and save them we actually need to split the party. Igfig: right Orrin: Because that shit is gonna blow pretty soon. Igfig: oh yeah that's right Varus: can we prepare them to be evacuated? Igfig: BOOOOOOM Varus: can i shoot a message to the ships going away? Varus: welp Igfig: the heel is rocked by the explosion Igfig: it's... maybe not quite as big as you had hoped Varus: grr Varus: its still good Arryn: hah Igfig: you can't tell from here, but you think that, while a lot of rooms back there would be gutted, the actual structure of the place is still intact overall Igfig: people will start coming down to look any moment now Varus: ugh Varus: shit Varus: we need to shut the door Varus: but it cant be opened from this side Orrin: We are still super stealthy. Orrin: Could we uh... put dead-eyed robot torsos on ourselves? Arryn: we should go throgh big door while we can Blaze: Yeah maybe haste is more the ticket here. Blaze: This whole fortress is slowly getting closer to Thronehold too, yar. Igfig: oh, and to answer your earlier questions, you are out of Message range of the navy ships by now, and I guess you could prepare these folks for evacuation but you'll have to describe what exactly you're doing Orrin: I, too, vote that we hurry. Varus: yeah ok Varus: lets hurry Igfig: you cannot really put robot torsos on you, no Orrin: Though I understand if Varus wants to try to save the Godforged. Arryn opens big doors Igfig: all right Varus: no we've gotta go Orrin: Maybe we can salvage them after. Arryn: no shit Orrin: It's not like they'll drown. Arryn: we are going Igfig: through the big doors is a larger room JohnnyCage joined #pwot_dnd. JohnnyCage left #pwot_dnd. Igfig: stretching quite far off to the right, more of a very wide hallway Orrin: Uh... Varus: MORTAL KOMMBATTTTTTT Igfig: he was looking for the mortal kombat room Arryn: nerd Varus: says the one playing dungeons and dragons Igfig: down the middle is a big tangle of pipes and tubes and ducts Varus: lets get right the fuck into those Igfig: all wrapped around a conveyor belt Varus: cause im guessing this is a transport hallway Varus: and everyones about to come through here Orrin: we should ride the conveyor belt. Blaze: Which way is the belt going? Igfig: it's stopped currently, but looking to your right (towards the stern) you can see that it appears to be coming out of a factory-looking area Igfig: or maybe a foundry Arryn: where is it coming to?? Varus: where is it going you mean? Igfig: it stretches past the limits of your darkvision/light sources Igfig: in the forward direction Arryn: lets go Varus: hell yeahj Varus: lets ride this shit Arryn: not ride its off Arryn: but we can run Varus: lets run across it then Blaze: With all the pipes and stuff it'd probably be easier to stay hidden on it anyways. Arryn: yeah Blaze: We can't go too fast or we will have a hard time staying stealthy. Arryn: and being so dark Varus: lets move swiftly Igfig: what are you doing exactly? Getting on the conveyor belt, or the pipes above it, or what? Varus: oh the pipes are above? Varus: HELL YEAH LETS GET ON THOSE Arryn: hang on in a minute 20 im gonna go pee Orrin: On the actual belt. Arryn: belt Varus: no way Igfig: well, above and to the sides Varus: lets shimmy the pipes Varus: its more stealthy Orrin: that is even slower than just running. Orrin: I think stealth is out the window. Arryn goes on belt because fast Varus: ok Varus: yes Orrin: What with the huge explosion. Varus: stealth is mostly gone Varus: but also Igfig: stealth is definitely possible Varus: we dont want to be SEEN Igfig: also, you can hear movement from ahead Igfig: muffled, sounds like it's behind a door Orrin: I dive on the belt and start running. Arryn is already walking away on belt Igfig: but coming closer Blaze: Yeah, stealth that someone on board is out, stealth on where we are is still very viable. Blaze: They won't be able to track us. Varus: blaze agrees pipes! Varus: blaze get onto pipes with me Blaze: Pipes ahoy, wherever it is stealthy. Varus: PIPES AHOY Varus: varus and blaze choose to shimmy across the pipes Arryn: ok piss time Arryn: brb yo Igfig: So Orrin and Arryn are on the belt, and Blaze and Varus are up on the pipes Varus: yea Igfig: kay Varus: we are shimmying like no tomorrow Igfig: you hear a door being slid open Igfig: and a number of metal feet coming in, moving quickly, not in unison Arryn: back Igfig: hard to get an exact count but around a dozen Igfig: "Quickly. There may be intruders. Fleshy ones." says the juggernaut leading the group Arryn continues to stealth on treadmill Igfig: can I get a set of stealth checks from y'all Igfig: and perception from all of these Varus: do the people on pipes have advantage Arryn: 1d20+19 Fortuna: Arryn, 1d20+19: [8] = 27 Orrin: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Orrin, 1d20+10: [6] = 16 Igfig: they're distracted, so I'm giving them disadvantage Igfig: but Arryn: oof Varus: ok Igfig: oh my Varus: 1d20+11 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+11: [4] = 15 Igfig: this may get risky Varus: oh nooooo Arryn: ooooo Varus: im on the pipes tho Arryn: suckers Arryn: s m d Varus: just run ahead if they see us Varus: blow up the engines Igfig: I think you two up on the pipes get advantage just from being up above them Blaze: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+10: [13] = 23 Blaze: 1d20+10 Fortuna: Blaze, 1d20+10: [5] = 15 Varus: ok Blaze: So I'm a 23 then. Varus: so with advantage: Arryn: ^5 blaze Varus: 1d20+11 Fortuna: Varus, 1d20+11: [12] = 23 Igfig: if there's one thing I've learned from stealth games, it's that people never look up Varus: yup Varus: 23 for me Igfig: also horror movies Varus: so just orrin down at 1 Varus: 6 Varus: 16 Igfig: So I'm going to roll for all these fine floks now Arryn: they see Orrin sorry Orrin Varus: bye orrin Igfig: 6#2d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 2d20: [2, 14] = 16; 2d20: [1, 10] = 11; 2d20: [4, 19] = 23; 2d20: [7, 8] = 15; 2d20: [12, 18] = 30; 2d20: [9, 20] = 29 Arryn: hahahaha Igfig: uh oh Varus: the lower ones Orrin: It looks like they all failed to me. Blaze: The highest was a 12, yar, of teh low ones. Varus: yup Varus: YESSSSS Varus: orrin ngl Igfig: oh right Varus: i would have left you behind Orrin: No biggie. Igfig: I read that as advantage, not disad Igfig: I was scared there for a moment! Orrin: I'd make one shit his pants and then just run on the conveyor. Igfig: they all hurry past Varus: man that was lucky Arryn: one crit failed and points out we went THATAWAY Varus: yes Varus: i like that idiea Igfig: but the juggernaut has one last look around Igfig: carefully Igfig: 1d20 Fortuna: Igfig, 1d20: [11] = 11 Varus: haha fuck you igfig Igfig: not carefully enough Blaze: Hooray for Pass Without Trace, we are getting some mileage out of this. Arryn: woooo Varus: we really are Igfig: at the end they split up, half going into the factory and a quarter taking each of the side doors Arryn: it is giving +19 which is good Igfig: the one you came in by and the one that was on the opposite side Igfig: also I cannot believe that Pass Without Trace is intended to be this good Arryn: hahaha Igfig: +10 stealth to everybody is kinda crazy strong Varus: hey man Blaze: Yar, 2nd level spell. Varus: its without a trace Blaze: Well, it is technically only on me. Varus: honestly Varus: i think its balanced Varus: we just keep gtting lucky Blaze: But creatures I choose within 30 feet of me including me are affected. Arryn: we are like boyscouts Blaze: AKA they have to stay by me. Igfig: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2-IeelzgnE Orrin: Well, we may lose it up ahead. Varus quit. Arryn: haha waffle Blaze: Without a trace indeed. Varus joined #pwot_dnd. Igfig: I offended waffle Varus: im back bitch Igfig: oh ok Varus: whatd you say Arryn: even without it i still have +9 Igfig: I just posted the link to the Without A Trace them music Igfig: Arryn has great skills Varus: oh Arryn: yes Varus: yeah thats what crashed me Varus: my audio isnt working right lately Igfig: oh I'm sorry Varus: i just services > reset windows audio Varus: fuck u Varus: ok tho Varus: so we got past that Varus: whats the next trial boy Varus: s Arryn: :/ Igfig: no, that was legitimate sympathy Varus: yeah its butts Varus: cant fix it either tried everything Igfig: my audio drivers have been causing me huge trouble recently too Varus: even ben helped Varus: i dont think its the drivers Igfig: well, whatever it is Igfig: mysterious Igfig: but yes Arryn: "ben helped" thats a bit generous but ill take it Blaze: That's actually kind of weird, my speakers have been having some slight issue, though it is just one of them won't do any sound sometimes, but I've fixed it every time so far. Igfig: audio is just generally borked Igfig: at the end of the great hall of conveyance Arryn: !!! Varus: i need you all to stop for a momenet and appreciate that kirby exists Varus: and then we may continue
