The bulk of Du'Zul'Un's prohesies, repost'd:

"First, pri'ya your fist. Not lil'fist. Mo'fist. . . Family? They does have two swords, of the Zul. 2 Mo'mo'sul'swords. You get this one. You both have big wyrd, but your wyrd I know. You will fight with a lil'gon. On or against the small'gon is hojo, messy. But if you fight aganst the lil'gon you will get glory, but die young. Young and famous. If you ride the lil'gon, you will get mo'fame. Much fame. Will be mo'eep, much feared. And might die very young, morr'juvie. Or might might live long, mo'rich. Goo'ani. Good life. Now did you bring gift for Zul'dan?"
"You bring goo'gift for Zul'dan. Zul'un tell you of something special. Down below, where the clawed shadows lurk, there is a tresure of mo'value to you. If you go now, you get it, mo' much valor, but treasure remain a hojo'wyrd, messy unknown forever. Return in two moons, and the treasure will show it's Wyrd to you. But the lil'glory will be less.”
“Ma'gon big. With skin of snake but hard as stone. Mo'Wings, big wings. No fire. Ma'gon and lil'gon both goo'gon, not mon'gon. Mon'gon blow fire, you call dra'gon. goo'gon hunt mon'gon are mo'lil smaller then mon'gon. Goo'hojo to see ma'gon. Goo'mo'wyrd to kill ma'gon, much danger, many mo'morr.”

Does anybody here speak nigger?

>>8832494
No one can speak much troll, Aegon can pick up a little more then you can, but that's it. Ma'Gon, Lil'Gon and Goo'Gon are wyverns as best as he can tell.

reposting the other prophesies you've been exposed to:

The original prophesy from the Sheff ancestor ghosts: “The forest that walks shall be bound to the giant, and the giant to the forest. Dark blood will strike, but pure sanguine repel and prevail. Give much thought to steel and fire, for it's time is coming. As old steel is laid to rest, new steel will be wrought, and thirstily quenched. Old signs will return. "
From the shamans in the west:
“The walking sapling must ride the beast, he will need the strength of both brothers of blood, brothers of raising, and those who's only kin is blood itself. Tame the beast, and the fruit shall flourish, fight it, and the victory will wither.”

Doesn't look like there are many people around today.

>>8832552
I started late, and these things usually take a while to kick off. I usually post up the new month to get things rolling, but today there's not a new month, because you're on an ADVENTURE. So we'll see how this goes. . .

>>8832552
>>8832494
Care t make a start anyhow?

How many and who guards up top (if any) and who comes down to say hi to Du'Zul'Un?

Awesome, Lord Quest. Leave the two most injured, Cohen and Leold up top with the Men-at-Arms and Yeomen.

-Last bump-

Maybe tonight is not the night for Quest Lord. . . :(

>>8832749

I'm up to play tonight, but you'd probably have better luck tomorrow night if you start earlier like you sometimes do. If you keep going tonight though, things will probably pick up in an hour or two when most of the US is up.

You still here Quest Lord?

I believe it would be better to do this some other time. I'd love to stay but I have to be up early tomorrow. I'm sure it's the same with a few others. Good to see you're still doing this however.

>>8832744
Done.

Aegon, Doobs, Shorty, Clint, Stark (your fuckoff huge hound, is almost face to face with a virman now, and is still a puppy) and yourself wonder down the stairs, returning to see Du'Zul'Un.

"Back to Mo'Blu fight with the shadow claws? I hope you brought Mo'Buff strong fist. I see much Mo'Wyrd in this fist, Mo'goo. This map will help you find your Wyrd."

>>8832791
>>8832826
>>8832856
Great, come back, see I got a reply. Post again, see this. Huzzah timing. :/

>>8832877
So, tomorrow night then?

>>8832877
When can we expect you back?

>>8832910
Tomorrow night won't be an option. Its now or next month sometime. . .

>>8832973
With uni, I can basically only do it on weekend nights, around social life, college events, study, etc. So I'm likely to get a couple of sessions a month in for the next while. . . I try to start between 6 and 6:30 +10GMT (Queensland time) when I can.

>>8832973

Well that's unfortunate. I'll keep playing though, head up and around the corner into the old great hall. From what the prophecy says that's where our treasure is.

>>8832973
Lets wait until next month.

That way we've all lost interest by then.

>>8833051
To be fair next month isn't that far off, it's the 28th. I don't think Lord Quest really recovered from the last month long absence though, so we might as well keep chugging along tonight.

>>8833079
>>8833039
>>8833051
Sorry got distracted. Keep going tonight, ok.

Lets finally get this going.

Du'Zul'Un advises that you can enter be the stairs by either the stairs or the hole, but the hole will take some getting to, and is infested by rockworms. "Not that rockworms should worry you much, not with the shadow-claws around, no. . . "

>>8833134
Let's take the path of least resistance then and go with the stairs.

>>8833134
Stairs seems like a much better tactical option - we can go down, strongest first, and fight on them if need be. Down the hole might land us smack bang in the middle of a mess we can't deal with.

>>8833168
Ok. You walk down the stairs, into the darkness. Do you light a torch?

Also, roll a d10 and a d15. Both want high.

rolled 1 = 1

>>8833179
Let's light a torch, chances are whatever lives down here can see pretty well in a dark and it's not like the sound of several heavily armored men running down a staircase will attract more attention than a torch. Rolling the d15

>>8833208
Great, just fudged the first roll.

>>8833179
I run from the darkness squealing like a little girl.

SOMETHING TOUCHED MY HAIR!!!!

>>8833208
Ouch. Critical fail.

Roll on the critical fail table, d10.

Remember you have a +1 luck ring you can use on any roll, and a +2 ring for inspiring courage, etc.

rolled 8 = 8

>>8833221
Trying to redeem myself, using the luck ring for a bonus to this roll.

>>8833237
9/10. Ok, mostly safe. Redeem'd, avoided total party wipe or any named deaths.

The roof caves in as you walk into the cavern, in an act of unlucky timing or potentially a malicious trap. However your party mostly escapes harm, a few small cuts from rock shards not withstanding.

rolled 6 = 6

>>8833262
Alright, so I take it the path to the stairs is now blocked, leaving the hole as the only way down? Making second d10 roll requested previously.

>>8833276
It's a moot point if you go by the hole. The path has been blocked off, so the hole it is. Or give up and go home.

For the hole, roll another d15.

rolled 2 = 2

ROLLING FOR LORDLY MIGHT

>>8833330
We are not a lucky lord.

>>8833330
Nice work. . . You're poisoning the rolls today.

You walk into the chamber, the torches illuminating a hole in the centre of the room. Something seems wrong about the centre of the room, around the hole. You approach to see what it is, but as you walk up the floor collapses beneath you. However the roof above you stays where it is mostly, and you find yourself in a hallway, wihtt he rest of your party around you. Doobs has twisted an ankle, and you've hurt your off wrist, but everyone is mostly ok. No serious injuries.

>>8833414
Examine the room around us, where are the exits and entrances, and if it is possible to climb back up. Look around for any dangerous worms that were mentioned as well.

>>8833414
(that'll be a -2 on all combat rolls btw, and a -1 on running or rushing about in any kind of way)

>>8833468
Anything we can do to remedy it?

>>8833465
You see a few of the worms, they range between earthworm sized and the size of maggots. The earthworm sized ones are on the floor, eating large holes though the stone, the maggots are on the walls and you suspect in the roof. The roof here is low, you're in a passageway, with one end caved in, and the other leading outwards. >>8832874 Is the map of *this* floor.

The roof is low enough that shorty could reach up and touch the roof, but not so low as that anyone else could do this. Pic related.

>>8833485
Aegon could bind the leg with a splint if you could find anything for that. It'd still slow you down but not by as much (lose ties as opposed to a flat -1 mod, and only -1 on fighting). As for the wrist, you can't do much about that.

>>8833528
Alright then, we'll hobble onward towards the Nightstalkers then. Keep an eye out for any tree roots or stray bits of wood to form that splint.

>>8833544
ok, roll a d11 for spot check.

rolled 7 = 7

>>8833559

>>8833579
Aegon moves to your shoulder and murmurs in your ear. "Don't look now, we're being followed. And not just on the ground either. . . I wouldn't be surprised if there is more of them up ahead lying in wait."

rolled 5 = 5

Have one of the Manhunters lead, and one bring up the rear, if they are with us. They probably have the best senses, and their also expendible in the case of deadly traps/velociraptor ambush.

>>8833597
Make sure the rest of the group is aware of the situation as well. Then get ready to fight, we should take the ones following us now, rather then wait until we wander into a clutch of them and get swarmed. See if we can get a good look at these things.

>>8833617
I second this, but keep at least one fighter at our rear (the direction we were moving in before we turned around to fight the ones following us) in case the others come into it.

>>8833611
Manhunters are dead. Only named characters down here, the manhunters and yeomen are guarding up top.

You have Aegon, Doobs, Shorty, Clint and Stark with you.

You notice that stark is on edge too, sniffing about and ears pricked up.

>>8833646
Oh man, named character death incoming.

>>8833516
>>8832874
Could we get an X to show where we are on that map please?

>>8833617
You murmur back to Aegon to let everyone know, but to make sure everyone remains casual for the moment until you give the sign.

>>8833643
Who?

>>8833646
Than I suggest we proceed slowly and make as little noise as possible. Also get a few rockworms for alchemy experiments. ( Yay Lord Quest, didn't expect it today.)

>>8833669
Aegon in the middle, Clint in the back, Shorty, Doobs, Stark and Us in the front.

This is assuming Aegon is as squishy as I think a bard is.

BTW, we still have't gotten Aegon's name easter egg.

>>8833667
Pic related

>>8833682
You make a note to grab some rock-worms when you wonder back that way. You're not sure how you'll store them yet, but that's a bridge to cross when you get to it.

"The character who speaks second always wins the agon, since the last word is always hers or his. The meaning of the term has escaped the circumscriptions of its classical origins to signify, more generally, the conflict on which a literary work turns."

???

>>8833699
Only Aegon I know is from ASOIAF.

>>8833722
Said at least 5 times and not it.

>>8833715
Seconding this >>8833699 as our set up. Roll for combat?

>>8833719
>>8833722
No and no.

>>8833699
Aegon's from up north, wonders around the wilderness by himself form town to town/city to city. He spent some time with the norsemen, and is downright handy with a blade.

Bards/etc. aren't squishy in this setting. A court bard might be, but Aegon makes his own way around the world, and he's seen more of it then most his age, let alone people much older then him. He's hardly squishy.

In combat ability he'd be behind Doobs and close to you. Shorty is the least skilled by far, but is HUEG, and Clint can take care of himself. You left all the squishy characters at home.

>>8833802
Does Aegon have a surname?

>>8833815
Syracuse

>>8833802
Ok then, Swap Aegon to the front and put Shorty in the back with Clint - he'll be less crowded there, and thus more able to take advantage of his size and reach.
And damn, I was sure I had it right with the greek drama thing.

>>8833854
It's got to be The Comedy of Errors.

>>8833797
or
>>8833862
?

And If it helps any, it's written with that funny AE one letter type deal thing.

>>8833888
It DEFINITELY has to be The Comedy of Errors.

>>8833888
this >>8833862

>>8833888
Seconding >>8833862

And then let's get this party started.

>>8833888
Æ?

>>8833898
Thirding.

>>8833896
Dingdingding! We have a winner!

Aegon is the son of a Norse Cheif-Daughter and a Southern trader. The trader was infamous for his willingness to adapt to the local culture he traded with. He settled down with his wife in a Norse village, until the village was burnt to the ground by raiders from a rival village. Aegon was learning to become a shaman, but was still learning the lore of his tribe. He gathered his things and went south to find his fortune. At a northern bar he sung for his supper, for some years, until he was picked up by a wondering bard. Some years later he left to persue his own life, touring the Norse villages' learning the songs of his people. He found you on his way south to meet the people of his father.

>>8833914
Yes.

>>8833897
>>8833898
Ok.

Roll a d20 for combat.

rolled 17 = 17

>>8833973
Syracuse gave it away, but that was pretty obscure. Nice reference, though. Any benefits from that?

Plan on using our ring of courage if this is low. Maybe Aegon will Inspire some Courage too?

Lets go shadow dinosaurs.

>>8833980
That is an excellent roll. I am expecting us to fart Hadokens and to shoot laser beams from our eyes.

>>8833991
it's 'dice' not 'Dice'

f5

Maybe QL should just pick it up from here later.

rolled 13 = 13

Rolling to pass the time.

>>8833980
The normal +1 to attitude with the person.

The courage ring is a use or not, you can't say IF x. you did well, so I'll let you save it, this time. And bards here don't do much singing in the fight, they're often more busy fighting. Aegons singing while fighting is more a norse thing, they sing stories of their heroes to bring the attention of their heroes and try to channel their greatness. And as a way of saying "I'm still able to sing, I'm still going strong, intimidation." That said, AEgon gives a bonus to all who fight with him in general anyway, becuase of this. Like Cohen's Showing off balls of iron tactics do.

You hear a soft paf-paf, only because you've been listening for it, and AEgon yells out NOW! As you turn, you see doobs drawing his sword and charging down the wall, using the wall to protect his flank as he slashes one of the dark heared beasts. Stark turns and follows you down the other wall, biting the entire side out of one as you slice off its outstretched arm.Shorty and clint deal with a flanking attack, Shorty ripping one in two with his bare hands. They retreat and you inspect the corpses. Lean and wiry, their black skin is covered in fine black hair. Their claws extend out from their hands, and they have no fingers to speak of, just these long curved claws of what seems to be ivory. Their heads are sleek, with two rows of serrated fangs that fold back. They are almost entirelydappled black and grey, their teeth and claws are the exception to this, being a creamy colour - however the claws are stained to be much darker.

>>8834102
>however the claws are stained to be much darker

Poison?

>>8834102
We've got a satchel or something? Ivory claws are worth taking.

>>8834102
Friendly casualties: None
Injuries: some scratches, nothing major. Clint is sporting a new gash down his face, largely superficial, but binding it now will block his vision, so he says he'll deal with it.
Killcount:
Doobs:2
You and Stark: 1
Shorty: 1, and one badly wounded that escaped
Clint: 1
Aegon: 1

Aegon thinks the bulk of them escaped, not wanting to stick around after a half dozen of their comrades were butchered is seconds.

>>8834118
They could also be stained from gore, though I don't know which of the two options I prefer. Let's keep moving forward now that we've shaken off the scout group.

Let's search for treasure!

>>8834120
You have bags that were full of food, but are now half empty.

>>8834118
Possibly. Aegon suspects it may be like the bite of the Lion or Troll, not poisonous as such, but very liable to become infected.

>>8834246
Shift the food around to make room for the trophies, and make sure to disinfect all wounds. Then onwards.

>>8834246
Take the food out of one bag and put a couple of claws and teeth into it, we don't want to chance keeping our food in the same bag with it. The food we take out should move to another half full bag and leave us with a full one.

>>8834246
Just cut them off at the hands for now, we don't want to risk more cuts than necessary. Try to disinfect wounds.

>>8834268
Done. Thanking Byron that you grabbed Zeek's salves you make sure all the wounds are treated as best you can, saw off the ivory claws, and continue onwards. You see a split in the tunnel, one path to your left, another to your right. Which do you take?

>>8834309
Let's take the left hand path.

>>8834309
right

>>8834309

Is there any apparent difference to the paths? If not, seconding left hand path choice.

>>8834302
Ok, retcon. Cutting the hands off so as to preserve the ivory you pack the claws away-

>>8834294
-in a seperate bag to the foods.

>>8834349
I just thought it would help avoid accidental scratches when removing the claws. Take hands first, if we have room for a head or two take them too.

How big are they? Could we cut out a leg bone or something to use as a splint?

>>8834347
The passage to the right is a much sharper turn. The path you're on merges into the main passage so that going right will be almost turning completely around.

>>8834373
Good call!

>>8834386
Part of me wants to split up, but...

>>8834399
Let's not split up, if don't find the treasure at the end of one path we can turn back.

>>8834399
just pick one, we can explore later, consensus seems left

Right seems like a good place to get ambushed, anyway.

>>8834432
Second not spliting up. They already outnumber us, and the quest would slow to a snails pace if we had two seperate groups.

>>8834373
You could. Clint gets to this, and quickly rigs up a crude bone splint. It's still somewhat gorey, but it's functional, and that's what matters.

>>8834440
Exactly. However, we could always check the corner carefully instead of blindly rushing in if we choose to go that way.

>>8834465
Going right they couldn't use their number as against us...but depending on how big the passage is it could disadvantage us too.

Go go go to the left!

HOLLLEEEEEY SHEEEEEEEEEEEET
LORD QUEST!
And I'm in time to participate !!!

Btw, this is the theme for Jungle trek
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pa72V4j2geE

>>8834510
Both ways are larger then the passage you came from, and are about the same size.

>>8834568
Listening to.

Let's just go left.

>>8834643
second

Why did we go here anyway? And don't quote the troll's prophecy, I can't understand anything he says.

>>8834665
We're after some sort of valuable treasure that will reveal it's purpose/destiny to use when we find it.

>>8834705
Do we know where it supposed to be in the cave ? Or are we just walking around hoping to stumble upon it?

>>8834735
Not really, it's just "where the clawed shadows lurk" which is down here. With our luck though, the alpha nightstalker is probably using it as a scratching post or something.

>>8834755
I hope it's not in the Old Great Hall where stalkers live (it is probably there, isn't it?)

>>8834665
Magic artefact
And the troll is basically saying that our family has two swords of the old gods, to activate the poers of ours we have to kill a wyvern and take one of its' young to train and ride into battle (specifically the third of three while letting the others go) we also have to secure the allegiance of all the lords of the region (even the jerky one) against a future threat.

>>8834776
I'd wager that too, but you never know.

>>8834781
oh, thanks.

Where did Quest Lord go?

>>8834806
Probably having internet issues,which sucks considering we're probably picking up people now that it's a reasonable hour.

we really should warn our brother. haveing a sword of the old gods and a Destany is pretty dangerous.

>>8834843
Sent him a letter last time if I remember correctly.

Back!

Sorry, internet issues.

>>8834643
>>8834664
>>8834543
>>8834436
Left it is.

Roll a d25.

>>8834843
>>8834858
Indeed you did.

rolled 10 = 10

>>8834913

OH, BOY

My rolls are always bad

rolled 9 = 9

>>8834927
I guess reverse psychology doesn't work with dices

>>8834821
Yeah Sunday is a bit inconvenient.
When the thread was first posted people in Europe were still sleeping off the beers they had Saturday. While in the US, depending on the time zone, were either just returning home from having them or still having them.

rolled 2 = 2

Go go 25.

>>8834927
Managed to avoid >>8834958 getting it.

>>8834952
Yeah, weekend sessoins are all I can do atm, and sat is my night out generally. Friday seems to be my night drinking in with mates, so. . .

Anyhow, the passage left ends in a pile of rubble. Looking closely the rubble here is veined with little passageways, like a termite mound. The rubble is freshly fallen and dust still lingers in the air. . .

rolled 16 = 16

>>8834998
Is the Great Hall littered with stalkers?

>>8834998
And that people is why you look a the map and I said to go right.

>>8834998
>>8835007

We should at least see if it's safe there...

>>8835007
You're not at the great hall. See
>>8835047
Yeah, I was surprised more people didn't notice that.

>>8834998
Examine the rubble a bit more closely and then return to the fork and go right.

>>8835052
It's the only way left to go unless we have something suitable to reopen the collapsed tunnel that goes around the hall.

>>8835066
Well, it's not like the hall is 3 miles away. just turn around take few steps.
Of course, do this as cautiously and stealthy as possible

>>8835070
If we return to the fork and go right we will just be going back the way we came from.

trollface.jpg

>>8835070
You notice that the rockworms have infected this stone too. Apparently they've spread some.

>>8835096
>>8835111
>>8835070

You head down the tunnel to the right. Roll a d10 on the Temple Depths Encounter Chart.

rolled 8 = 8

>>8835136

rolled 4 = 4

>>8835136
I'm due for a good roll, probably won't get one though.

>>8835147
Great, a good roll for once!

>>8835147
You find the bodies of what appear to be a piar of virmen. They have been stripped clean, and the bones broken and sucked dry. However their weapons have been left here.

Also, are your torches lit?

Yes. Are we about to be pin cushioned?

rolled 8 = 8

>>8835184
yes
>>8833208

>>8835200
Just checking. You're approaching the main hall. The passageway has been littered with bodies and bones, but nothing of note or value. Is there any special preperations you make before wlaking into the main hall where your map assures you these Nightstalkers lurk?

>>8835216
pray for help
Use inspiration ring to boost morale (have a pep talk or something)

>>8835216
we should wait by the entrance not just enter, the passage behind us is clean so thus preventing flanking or rear attacks.

>>8835226
You offer a prayer to Byron, hoping that this ADVENTUING will go well. You then rouse the spirits of everyone around, saying something about destiny, being to darn good looking to die, etc. Except Clint, but even Morrs Reapers would be ashamed to take someone that hideous anywhere.

>>883521
Tell everyone that the claws of the Nightstlakers may be poisonous. Be prepared for a swarm attack at moment and be vigilant against any of them lurking in the shadows.

>>8835238
You walk to the entrance. nothing happens. you can't see any nightstalkers within the area lit by your torch.
How long do you intend to wait for?

>>8835253
You remind everyone to watch their claws and be prepared to be swarmed at any moment.

>>8835273
if we have a extra torch, light it and throw it into the darkness

>>8835282
You currently have 1 torch lit, and 2 more unlit in the packs. Light one and throw it into the darkness? How far/hard?

>>8835273
Wait for a minute or two, then walk in and keep eyes peeled for them as we walk slowly inside.

>>8835304
And don't forget to check the rafters .

>>8835296
Yes, throw them both: one closer, one further away... we'll pick them up as we walk

>>8835296
light both torches, wedge one into a crack or hole so we dont have to wory about dropping it. the other we throw into the middle of the darkened chamber

>>8835296
As best as we can into the middle of the hall.

>>8835304
You wait for a while, and the tension builds. Aegon tells a quick norse "fable" about a man who decided to create a bonfire so mighty that it would blot out the night. After 10 years of building the bonfire he lit it, and there was no night for 3 days. Then it went out. When he was asked what he would do next he said: "I obviously need a bigger fire. "

>>8835337
Okay let's do this, go into the hall, don't forget to throw torches. have someone to look behind lest they try to sneak attack

>>8835316
The great hall extends upwards some way, it seems to extend to ground level as best you can tell. Your torch doesn't quite show the roof, but you know that if it was higher then ground level you might have noticed it there.

>>8835324
>>8835325
Which one?

Note: This hall is biiig. you can't see any walls from where you're standing.

>>8835325
throw torch, wait and watch for a reaction. if the room seems empty, enter but keeep close to the walls

>>8835374
hmm, its not like we are a long way in...get out and poke holes into the roof?

>>8835374
>Note: This hall is biiig. you can't see any walls from where you're standing.

This sucks, the walls might be crawling with those spawn. Do this >>8835324

>>8835324
this, but keep close to the walls. we dont want to be surrounded

>>8835394
or better yet tell the people we left topside do it

>>8835387
>>8835397
I'll wait for a bit more of a consensus.
>>8835394
Interesting idea. Clint is confidedent that he could find above ground for here well enough, he spent a time hunting SandDevils in the NorthEast of Erondia. The technique relies on finding their nest by crawling through the tunnels, then backing out and stabbing into it with a large number of long spears.

>>8835415
How? Go back and tell them?

>>8835437
go outside and poke holes in roof

>>8835448
send Clint and wait for him to return

>>8835394
Holes to let sunlight get in, yeah?

>>8835468
>>8835394
Ok, 1 more and We'll go with this.

Hey.

Hey, guys.

Let's poke holes in the ceiling of the building where we've already seen one cave-in already.

Not that rockworms should worry you much, not with the shadow-claws around, no. . . "

---

i think this may mean the worms avoid the shadowclaws. so it should be safe to poke a hole or two in the roof

>>8835477

I don't understand why we are poking the holes but yeah go for it

>>8835531
sun light is far better than torches. also we can soout bows and throw rocks at the shadow claws.

>>8835483
Someone had to say it. I was waiting for this. . . Hoping no-one would a little bit.

>>8835517
>>8835531
Oh, is that some consensus? I think that is.

*EvilDMFace*

You turn back, watching the hall as you head back up for the surface with a nefarious plan in mind. Roll a d10 on the Temple Depths encounter chart.

rolled 7 = 7

>>8835553


You know, someone could stealth roll 1d1 to fuck thing up

rolled 8 = 8

>>8835553
>>8835483

since the Hall is HUGE, I think the roof will fall in but the walls will keep standing, then we have an open roof will all the sunlight and any stalkers in the room might be crushed.... I think it will work well for us

>>8835576
I check the rolls each time. But yeah, its a problem with most quests.

You see a pack of virmen, running towards you, frightened and nervous. They see you and raise weapons, backing off slowly.

>>8835612
ask whats chaseing them

rolled 1 = 1

>>8835612
How do you check stealth rolls ?

They are obviously running from something, we need to help them and get them in our group. Cannon fodder will be useful

>>8835636
they could do the digging for the hole. also check behind us we dont want those dark claws to sneak up on us

>>8835631
Acting all releived at the sound of your voice they relax their weapons slightly. They say that they're worried about the RipClaws. The entrance to their warren was blocked off ahead by a rockfall, and the only other passage is back through, past the RipClaw WarrenDen. They don't know the way to their warren from here overland, and decided the RipClaws were safer then getting lost in the AboveUp.

>>8835636
Oh, I see. I noticed a few of these earlier. Meant to mention for people to not use these ones. I've asked in previous threads.

>>8835682
Ask them to join our group, after our quest we'll help them find their warren as a reward (it would be easy for Clint I presume)

>>8835715
SwapTrade? Help you what for help back to Warren entrance? How can we trust you to help us? How do TallMen know where BroodDen is?

WE KNOW EVERYTHING!

Tell them that they could try their luck with Night stalkers, tell them that they wouldn't be as sympathetic. Also add that we have walked the surface for all our lives and can find anyway there (bluff but we do have awesome Druid/rogue character with us)

>>8835769
"TallMen know where BroodDen Warrens are?" The virman's voice expresses disbelief. "And before we even thinktalk, whatyou want swaphelp for?

>>8835736
Ask them to help you find what you are looking for, ask the to help you to archive you DESTINY. Mention that the troll shaman put you up with this (I'm sure they respect him)

>>8835736
we have a map. it shows us many things. we want to make a hole aboveground so we can kill the ripclaws in a tricky way. if you help us make hole we will help you go back to your warren

>>8835801
Yes we know *cough*roughly*cough* where it is, and anyway they will have more chance to not get eaten with us than alone

Intertube issues again?

>>8835962
probably

>>8836067
aww

>>8835962
Yeah, IS BACK NOW.

>>8836248
Just remembered that Australia has horribad internet

>>8835831
Collapse the roof on the RipClaws? This is goodlike. Muchlike Goodplan.

>>8835817
We come here to visit shaman, he is wisesmart and has much goodwill with the spiritgods. We must take his advicethinks to the Broodden.

We help you if you help us get to the Warren entrance past the RipClaws. Is outside on ledgecliff, and from there we can make our way safely without fearing the RipClaws once lightday comes.

>>8836301
I have the best internets in Australia atm, is usually good. I think the issues are more a local one. Going to get a techie to look at my box tomorrow.

>>8836313
Okay

Now continue with our plan.

>>8836371
a 2nd to make the deal?

>>8836344
>best internets in Australia
You poor poor man :(

How many virmen are there anyway?

>>8836384
2nd

I shouted in triumph to see a Lord Quest thread here, instead of in the archive.

Then I saw that I'd missed 196 posts and now I can only hope to read fast enough to post an action before it's over. I'm a fast reader, but how do I always miss these?

>>8836400
It's actually pretty great. . . relatively. It's better then anything you can buy normally without stupid amounts of cash. And at this time of night I have most of our stupidly high bandwidth to myself. If BitTorrent wasn't capped I could to so much piracy. That said, loading times are not something I have most of the time.

>>8836446
We're in a tunnel, heading out about to collapse it on some NightStalkers. (tm)
>>8836426
About half a dozen
>>8836437
Ok, you head up to the hole, and help yourselves out, using shorty as a boost. You then throw him a rope or 3, and tie it to some more solid stone outside.The floor shatters as the rope takes his weight, until it reaches a point where the stone can take the weight. Helping him out, carefully, you manage to lave without too much hassle. You then head up to the top, and clint locates where he thinks the roof of the main hall is. Rolla d15 for tracking check (wanting low).

rolled 2 = 2

>>8836512

I'm gonna get a high roll now, aint I?

>>8836451
>If BitTorrent wasn't capped I could to so much piracy

DC++

>>8836528
Finally got your good roll
gratz

rolled 14 = 14

>>8836555

:D

>>8836536
BCDC+++
Yeah, already got that here.

>>8836528
You find the area with precious little digging, and the roof seems mostly safe. However after a few moments, one of the Virmen finds a patch where some rockworms have built a small nest. A little rough work later you've opened a small hole in the roof, but not enough to cause a cave it. Search for more weak patches? Or try and enlargen this one?

>>8836647
how much can we see below?

also make sure to check our keep for rock worms whan we get back

>>8836647
Enlarge this one. Make sure we have an exit route.

Why are we doing this again? Seems hazardous.

Read through the thread, disappointed how little progress we've made, but maybe myself and anyone else joining can change that.

rolled 4 = 4

>>8836647

Search for more patches I guess. Be sure to take every precaution to not fall down ourselves

look first be fore makeing more holes

>>8836667
Not much. It's pitch blackness down there. You can see a small segment of floor the light reaches, when you don't block it with your head trying to look down. It's not bright, but it's good enough to see by, and after torchlight it seems to be well lit.

>>8836693
search for more, make sure the virmen do the dangerous work :P

>>8836679
>Read through the thread, disappointed how little progress we've made, but maybe myself and anyone else joining can change that.

Yeah, me too. DM, don't take too long with updates

>>8836736
Ok, Roll roll a d20 for how many more holes you find.
>>8836766
Ok, will try.

>>8836794
See
>>8836693

rolled 10 = 10

hole hunting

>>8836766
Well it's been a mix of not having the interested crowd around, bad internets, sometimes slow updates, and the players unsure what to do.

we are digging holes to make the chamber better lit so we are not swarmed in the dark by swamp monsters. we could also throw rocks and shoot arrows through the holes and the night claws would be unable to attack us.

plan b is to collapse the roof crushing our potential enimes

>>8836806
that's a d15.

And since we've found what we're confident is the roof to the hall, it's not a search cheack any more, we know they're here. Just a matter of finding some.

DAMMIT JUST DON'T LET US ROLL TO SEE IF WE GO DOWN WITH THE GROUND!

>>8836826
Also, the crushed roof might kill some crawlies

>>8836843
We have virmen for that

>>8836843
im assuming you;'ve learned your lesson and are being VERY careful.

>>8836811
10 holes are found. Some of them are large enough to cause a cave in of decent size. How do you go about this?

>>8836886
Make small explosive with our ALCHEMY! skill

>>8836886
We could have Shorty chuck rocks at them.

>>8836886
the cave in is plan B. how many holes can we safely make for light?

for all we know there may only be 3 or 4 nightclaws

>>8836908
You're lacking alchemy stuff.

>>8836912
By rocks you mean small boulders. If I wsn't so lazy I'd google Andre the Giant throwing rocks at the Man in Black.

>>8836924
The whole roof won't collapse, at most it looks like you'll be able to make several middlish sized cave ins near the middle of the room and make some smaller light holes around the edges. There will be huge gaps in the middle of the roof around here, but it won't be anything massive.

>>8837005
By not massive I do mean the whole roof won't fall in. THe floor will be covered in chunks of rubble, but the stone is oddly all of one piece. Thusly the cave ins will be limited.

>>8837005
make the small holes on the side first ž, hopefully herding the stalkers to the middle, then have the virmen collapse the center

>>8837005
Andre, boulder chuck, go. Also, if he spots a clawed beast about, chuck one at them too.

>>8837005
Well, do at least that, some natural light would be good, and also one follow the suggestion made earlier to place man-hunters around the hole so that they can support us / be on look out

>>8837005
make light holes. then check for nightclaws. if we still cant spot any we souuld go back underground and look our selfs. dont forget to theank the rat men.

if the room is filled withth 20 or more night claws then we collapse it

>>8837030
>>8837042
2nd both

the reason i am reluctant to colapse the roof is that the treasure were looking for might be destroyed

>>8837049
forgot to say i am seconding this

>>8837074
As the map clearly states that particular room was already looted thus no treasure there.

>>8837100
didnt the the troll say that the treasure was whare the nightclaws were?

>>8837121
There is still a whole cave system beyond this room.

>>8837042
Manhunters are dead.

Andre starts lobbing rocks first at the smaller holes to the sides, but then he starts lobbing boulders at the middle. One segment falls though, then another, then after a hegu boulder hits the edge of one hole a colossal segment falls from the roof with a crash like thunder. After the noise you hear some squeeking and noise from below, but it quietens down quickly.

>>8837139
so? the map could be wrong.

>>8837169
look in hole, throw rocks at night claws

>>8837169
back down we go

>>8837171
it was made by the troll

>>8837169
>squeeking and noise from below, but it quietens down quickly.

GREAT SUCCESS!

>>8837188
this

>>8837188
You look down the holes, carefully from their edges. You can't see any movement, but Shoty lobs a few rocks into what's left of the shadows anyways.

>>8837190
You head back down the hole, this time more carefully down the ropes you left yourself. Head towards the great hall (now with sunroof)?

>>8837247
check side tunnels for nightclaws fleing the sun filled room

>>8837247
yes, but be careful of anything that might have retreated to this tunnels

>>8837263
>>8837278

Ok. Roll a d10 on the Temple Depths encounter chart.

rolled 8 = 8

>>8837289

We should get on with this journey and get back to city management

>>8837308
Another band of NightStalkers. This time you're watching for them, and they're running from the light in their caves. They;re disoriented and blinded. D20 for combat.

rolled 14 = 14

>>8837452
May the dice be with us.

rolled 11 = 11

>>8837452

Don't fail me now

>>8837459
YES.

I love you, diceroller! Even if you screwed us over and hard in Tau Quest and Frost Giant Quest!

>>8837468
It' actually pretty benevolent here, unless it's stealth rolls.

>>8837459
14. With modifiers for them bieng blinded, disoriented, out of place, and unable to realise you're there until too late, you cut thought them in moments, leaving their bodies on the floor in moments. Doobs, who has the lead deals with the first six before one even stubles past him, and he's quickly dealt with, decapitated smoothly by thorn.

>>8837492
Take their claws, proceed. Treasure awaits, and after it citybuilding!

>>8837489
Or rolls involving stone. You're not good at not making shit break everywhere at all.

>>8837492
1.Gather trophies
2.Note to self, since currently we aren't doing anything but train alchemy spar with Doobs to improve combat skills.
3.Go on

>>8837492
>>Doobs, who has the lead deals with the first six before one even stumbles past him

Holy shit, fuck yes DOOOOOOBS

rolled 11 = 11

>>8837512
This
But still don't let guard down

>>8837543
You note to train more with Doobs, he's byfar the most accomplished swordsman you've ever seen after your own brother. You feel like there's a lot you could learn from him.

You continue into the main room after gathering more ivory claws. You see a few NightStalkers in the shadows at the edges of the rooms, climbing up the walls to get away from the hated light at all costs, and slipping into nooks and crannies, waiting for nightfall to shield them from their torment. You continue on, but see nothing of interest, just rubble strewn unevenly across the hall floor.

>>8837644
Dispatch the incapacitated stalkers, who knows when we will be returning.

rolled 14 = 14

>>8837644
Search for damn treasure!

>>8837572
You're on guard as you stalk thuogh the rubble, a huge segment of roof jagging out of the rubble like a giant sword blade in the stone. Blood smears the bottom of it, like it landed on some unfortunate Nightstalker. However what is left of the corpse has been pulled away. To the back of the great hall there is a cave, going into darkness again. Continue y/n?

>>8837713
given your internet problems I'd vote to postpone

>>8837713
throw a lit torch as far as we can into the darkness.

rolled 15 = 15

>>8837713
Continue!

>>8837713
Torches lit, toss one in, then follow.

If we can knock aside rubble to get more light in, do so.

rolled 3 = 3

Light all of our torches and throw one in! Keeping the other two lit with us!

>>8837676
Givving the order, you spread out, and dispatch the nightcrawlers you can. Some are too high, others are hiding in nooks and crannies you couldn't hope to get into, let alone fight in.

>>8837824
fill the holes their hideing in with rubble from the ceiling

>>8837824
Is their cave the only other exit other than the one we came in?

>>8837844
see >>8832874

>>8837840
you block off some holes as best you can, and fill other holes with rubble. Where possible Shorty hurls the rubble about, hitting any nightcrawlers, he can and pouring it down holes.

>>8837844
Only one you can fit in, roof excepted.

rolled 10 = 10

>>8837919
Lord, where the hell is the treasure we came for ?

>>8837937
The map the troll got someone to write for him only has so many places marked. And there's 1 instruction on the entire thing. . . Did you really need me to spell this out for you any more?

>>8837937
at the far end of the dark menacing tunnel i expect

rolled 20 = 20

>>8837976
Let's go there Dammit, I'm sick of these ruins

>>8837995
>>8837976
Ok, roll 2d10 on the table this time.

I'll remember to keep these ADVENTURE segments shorter in future if people aren't enjoying them as much.

rolled 1 = 1

>>8838019
>I'll remember to keep these ADVENTURE segments shorter in future if people aren't enjoying them as much.

No, it's not this.... Previous ones were awesome but this feels kind of tedious... They should be fast paced

rolled 1, 2 = 3

>>8838019

rolled 5 = 5

>>8838038
>>8838043

>2 natural ones

BEST ROLLS EVAH

>>8838052
I think you're right.

I HOPE you're right, because otherwise we're FUCKED.

And I agree that this portion of Lord Quest is a bit too tedious. The travels are good to keep quick-paced, because it seems like people love the citybuilding, diplomacy, and shopping the best.

By the way, this is probably my favorite quest period. You do a stellar job, QL.

>>8838019
>>8838038
The problem is not the length, but the fact, that your schedule is pretty random and prone to rather long hiatuses, as such ADVENTURE! segments while one of the high points of LQ tend to feel dragged out compared to the town management since even if you are gone for a month we usually get at least 3 months worth of progress in one session, while here time passes with little reward or progress.

>>8838043
>>8838052
>>8838038

1 and 1 were the first two. Oh shit. I was hoping you might roll this one. The cave walk itself is uneventful, until you reach the other end, and see why none of the Nightstalkers ran this way. You exit the tunnel into a a sheer cliffside, the mornign light glaring in your eyes. On the cliffiside, climbing up towards you you see. . .no. . .it can't be. You see a dragon. It appears to be 15 foot long, from head to tail, you can't see how high, seeing as it is pressed close to the clifside as it scales the cliff. It's thin, like a snake, but there's no denying the power in those wings or the strength in those claws. And there's a gleam in its eyes as it sees you, and starts snaking it's way upwards towards you.

You think: "Shit. Where is Cohen when I need the serious monsterkilling done." You say, "FUCK!" in a moment of less then lordly language.

>>8838085
Cheers. But no, you're fucked. You, your half dozen ratmen who have just run for the cover of the cave, and your small but loyal band of named heroes, have a fucking dragon to handle.

>>8838129
Yeah, I get that. The ADVENTURE bits are you moving along the plot I have set aside though. You're a lord in Heroic Fantasy, not a pennycounting real lord. You're expected to yell at giants and slay dragons from time to time. Or at least lie about it to the peasantry like the other lords.

rolled 9 = 9

>>8838141
retreat into the cave, it will no undoubtedly stick it's head inside and we'll stick our swords in it's skull!

>>8838141
does this setting have smart dragons? if so very politely greet it and appoligise for disturbing it.

if not run like fuck. while screaming at the others to run.

Force summary:

Aegon in the middle, Clint in the back, Shorty, Doobs, Stark, A half dozen vrimen who have already started to leg it back into the cave and You.
Vs.
A Dragon.

Cohen (your prestiged monster killier) is up top with splintered ribs, and Leold is with him, sporting a leg (? Correct me if I'm recalling incorrectly) injury . With them are 2 men at arms, and 2 yeomen.

>>8838141
Retreat to the caves, and press yourselves to the side of the entrance, if the dragon sticks it's head in hit him with the swords.

Send the fastest runner to alert our soldiers and retreat to the old hall. lure dragon there have soldiers throw spears from above.

>>8838218
This is of utmost importance.

>>8838234
Use virmen to cover our retreat.

>>8838218
Dragons aren't known for being intelligent like men. They're smart, there's no doubting that. But they can't talk, at least no tongue a human can understand. The elves claim to speak to some, but they claim to speak to birds and boars and even bushes. Dragons are known as the lord of the beasts. The smartest, most cunning beast there is, but an animal none the less.

rolled 6 = 6

>>8838202
>>8838234

This, if I learned anything from action fantasy movies is that dragons will act like that, it's their nature

Fuck I was about to go out and grab something to eat then this happens.

So yeah, looks like the best choice is to lure it back into the cave and ambush it as best we can.

so... run like hell. shout at our comrads to do the same and if we reach the chamber with a hole in the roof shout a warning to our men at arms and spearmen. try to get somewhare it cant follow

>>8838202
>>8838234
>>8838277
Retreating into the caves sounds like a sound move, so you back off and follow the Virmen into the caves. It is clear that the fastest amongst you are the virmen, then clint. You hear a roar and lok back over your shoulder as the dragon (a Green and gold pattern on it's scales for any who care) enters tunnel. It's small enough that it can fit in here, but it's cramped and can't raise on it's hind legs. In the great hall it will have plenty of room and could even fly. The tunnels behind there would be a tight fit, but it could fit.

GODDAMMIT RIGHT WHEN I HAVE TO LEAVE FOR WORK

>>8838378
HRMM

SHORTY, TOSS A FUCKING BOULDER RIGHT INTO IT'S FUCKING FACE WHILE IT'S TRAPPED IN THAT CAVE

EVERYONE ELSE, PICK UP ANY KIND OF SPEAR OR WHATEVER WE CAN FIND, TOSS IT THE SAME, TRY TO BLIND THAT FUCKER

>>8838358
The great hall is far enough away from the enterence where your men are waiting, yelling won't help any.

rolled 16 = 16

>>8838378

Don't let it get inside the hall!
Fight it in the tunnels!
Can we somehow send someone behind it?

>>8838378
turn and fight at the entrance to the large chamber, shout a warning to our men above. they could throw stones or rush down in an attempt to support us

>>8838378
>>Green and gold

HOLD ON GUYS

I think this is important.

>>8838378
Then we fight it here while it is disadvantaged and can't escape as easily. In the hall it would be much to dangerous.

>>8838411
there should be some waiting at the hole. they should be close enough

rolled 14 = 14

>>8838404
THROW EVERYTHING
EVEN THE CLAWS WE PICKED UP

KEEP DISTANCE TOO.
But seriously, don't let that fucker get to the hall!

>>8838404
It's not trapped here. It could turn, leaving itself vulnerable, or just back out. It s forlegs are long enough and placed so that in this cave at least they are a danger, and that is to say notihing of it's jaws. This dragon has rows of snakelike teeth, hinged into its jaw, so that when it roars and hisses they display prominently. They drip with some unknown substance.

rolled 20 = 20

TRY TO COLLAPSE THE TUNNEL SO WE CAN TRAP IT!

>>8838464

i support this. if it fails run. dont stop.

>>8838464

HOLY SHIT NATURAL TWENTY!

(I wish we could choose our rolls)

DRAGONS CAN BREATHE FIRE, I THINK, IN THIS SETTING, ACCORDING TO THE TROLL

TAKE THIS INTO CONSIDERATION

>>8838489
FFFFFFFFFFFF

We've hit autosage. Just fyi.

>>8838430
Not particularly. It just happens to be the colouration for this species of dragon in my setting. I wanted to show off how fleshed out it is is all.

>>8838442
Why should there be. I told you that your manhunters couldn't shoot down, as they were dead, you left it at that.

>>8838450
>>8838431
>>8838422

You throw rubble at the monster, and try and drive it back as best you can.
Throw the claws (still on the hands) at the dragon (y/n)?

Roll a d20 for round 1 of combat. And no hidden rolls, please.

rolled 6 = 6

>>8838532

WE HAVE TO GET COHEN SOMEHOW!

I don't care he's injured, when he hears there's a battle against a dragon he's not participating he'll magically heal!

>>8838459
Hmmm, send Clint (ahead) and go with >>8838234
At least we will have manoeuvrability too and will be able to evade if it spits fire.
Send Shorty too, so we can have heavy support from above if it starts flying.

>>8838464
>>8838479
You can't think of how to collapse the cave here on the dragon, it seems sturdy enough, and there's no sign of rockworm. What's more, it's a cave, not a built tunnel, there is roots showing though the roof in some places, it's not all stone.

>>8838487
Hidden roll, and what's more it's connected to an unfeasable idea. I'd have used it if I could see it.

>>8838522
Cheers. I think we;'ll stay here, after this fight, I'm going to bed. It's 4:51 AM here.

rolled 11 = 11

>>8838532
YES THROW CLAWS (if that might help, lol)

>>8838532
i would have at least one or two stay near the hole to throw rocks incase we were attacked and driven back. like whats happening right now. only rocks wont do anything to it they would of been helpfull against a swarm of nightclaws

rolled 18 = 18

>>8838546
GOTDOMMOT FRONK!

>>8838532
Avoid the dragon's teeth especially. That sounds like poison.

Speaking of poison, if we get those claws into the dragon's mouth, that might work. Also, AIM FOR THE EYES in general.

>>8838585
>Hidden roll, and what's more it's connected to an unfeasable idea. I'd have used it if I could see it.

Oh well, rules state that we use rolls only when you specify to roll, I just forgot to remove dices

>>8838576
You send clint to fetch the rest at surfaceside, the remainders of you stick around to hold the dragon back. You beat a slow retreat as it moves forward, keeping to projectile weapons.

>>8838546
The dragon Arches up a little and hisses, spraying clear liquid all over the cave. The brunt of it hits shorty in the face, and he stumbles back hands at his face. He yells in pain, and backs off against the wall.

>>8838589
You drop your pack ot the ground and grab for the claws, carefully avoiding the points. You throw them, the first one missing by a good distance. You throw a few more as you slowly back off, your aim improving, but you're unable to hit any weak points yet.

CAUSTIC POWDER IN EYES NAO!

>>8838659
Indeed.

Someone roll a d20 for the second round of combat?

>>8838678
GO FOR THE EYES, GO FOR THE EYES!

Damn, don't tell me that Shorty is blind now. Get someone to guide him so that he doesn't get eaten by the dragon

rolled 6 = 6

This! And/or in the nostrils.

rolled 5 = 5

>>8838710

BAD ROLLS HERE I COME!

Shout to shorty to clean out his eyes with water (unless it's acid).

rolled 10 = 10

>>8838727
>>8838710

FUCK, forgot to unstealth

>>8838699
You remember your caustic bags, and decide to toss them at the dragons eyes. Roll a d20 for this too please. Label if you;'re rolling for this or round 2 of combat, if unlabled I'll assume R2.

>>8838722
SONOFA-

Btw, don't delete rolls, people. Haven't seen people doing that yet, but this fight is going bad enough without us rolling on the critical cheating table.

rolled 16 = 16

>>8838742
Damn, rolling for combat

>>8838742
My 6 was for throwing, hence mentioning it in my post. I'll be more clear next time.

NOW we get all the good rolls.

FUCK.

>>8838771
we weren't told to roll yet for that and be thankful for it

>>8838792
it's allready

>>8838722
The dragon lunges doobs, his sword flicking out in a masterful stroke causing the dragon to check his lunge. However he hisses again, spraying the clear spittle at Doobs. Doobs falls back and it doesn't get in his eyes, but he grits his teeth and curses as it burns the soft skin in his face painfully.

>>8838817
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

Please don't let us die DM.

Damn virmen, we need them for cannon fodder!

>>8838817
Well in that case at least we get a 15 for powder rolling.

Also, the powder might help to neutralize the acid if we have time.

>>8838817
Cant use it on shorty since it would still blind him, but give one of the caustic bags to Doobs (acid/base)

>>8838780
>>8838783

I hope powder will blind this motherfucker!

>>8838780
You lob the powder at the dragon, hoping to give it some of it's own medicine. You manage to get a packet in one eye, and grin as it screams in agony. It thrashes around in the tunnel in it's pain. Doobs leaps to his feet as this is going on, while shorty is back far enough so as to not be in danger. Stark is by your side, growning mennicingly, wating for you to move in for the attack. D20 for r3 combat, advantage yours. Also a d6 for Shorty.

>>8838835
The Virmen are long gone now. And you'll need some bad rolling to die. That said, if you roll badly enough, it's over. Sometimes luck causes the greatest men to fail. I'll have another quest for you guys though, same setting too. Just a different viewpoint.

>>8838847
Your alchemic knowledge means you're unsure whether the clear liquid is acidic or basic. You also know that either way, water is the best option as far as nutralising it now, thuogh doobs doesn't seem to be slowing down any yet. . .

>>8838921
use a bit of water on shortys eyes, if we leave it too long he may be blinded

>>8838921

Fuck, we need to stall it before Cohen arrives with hid GUTS HUGE SWORD AND RIPS & TEARS THIS DRAGON TO HELL.

>>8838921
>>I'll have another quest for you guys though, same setting too. Just a different viewpoint.

That's a relief, at least. But I'm still hoping we don't die.

No please, use deus ex if you must.
WE HAVEN'T STILL WOOED THE CUTE NERDY GIRL YET

>>8838875
Fack, I wrote out a huge chunk for this fail, turns out it is a d6, shorty it is. He continues to rub at his eyes, blinking furously, but to no avail.

>>8838888
The dragon threashes about, and you think you spot an opening. going for a his mouth, you stab out, but glance off his jaw as his head roolls about.

The dragon begins to gather his senses, and is now furious at you. He begins to advance, faster then before, and more aggressibvely. Rolla d22 for r4.

rolled 17 = 17

To expand upon this.
It would be cool if the dragon gets into the hall and at the same time Cohen jumps through the hole on it's back

rolled 19 = 19

>>8839028
THROW MORE POUCHES AT HIS EYES!

>>8839039
HELL YEAH!

>>8838965
As you fall back you give shorty some water and help him back. Doobs continues backing off, stopping the dragon from lunging at your unprotected backs.

>>8838966
Talking of that, roll a d5.

>>8838967
So am I. But I'm not pussying out if you do.

>*REMEMBER LOVE INTEREST*

>>8839039
That's better.

Doobs finds an opening, and sliding under its outsteched claw he swings at the inside of its cheek, splitting it open, and then diving back, as you cover him form any counterlungers. However the dragon just screams and hisses. It's unused to this kind of fighting, and doesn't like it. However it's damned if it will back off now.

It snaps and bites at you, but fear of the painful fangs in your hands keep it back.

>>8839063
You have enough pouches for 2 more attempts.

Rolla d20 for pouches (and say when you're using them). A d24 for combat r5. And can someone roll that d5?

>>8839066
FUCK YEAH!

>>8839135
Why not?
If Stark manages to get behind it, he will be out of danger and the dragon will be distracted (he shouldn't bit the end of the tail but the base otherwise dragon will trash him about the place)

>>8839170
could we use the ring that gives us a bonus in romance? you cant have romance if your dead right?

NEXT TOWN PROJECT BYRON GETS A SHRINE!

I hope we deal the finishing blow

I suspect DM is writing super epic post

>>8839323
fuck yes. also make sure to sacrafice at the shrine to the old gods and the god of huns srine

>>8839323
Definitely this.

And our brush with living death (and, I hope, our success soon) is warranting a feast with the Lord of Seakay. And Serah. She gets her gift, and we show how awesome of a candidate we are to her dad.

hey guys, i know that this is probably stupid, but could we try to not kill it and just incapacitate it?

the prophecy said "You will fight with a lil'gon. On or against the small'gon is hojo, messy. But if you fight aganst the lil'gon you will get glory, but die young. Young and famous. If you ride the lil'gon, you will get mo'fame. Much fame. Will be mo'eep, much feared. And might die very young, morr'juvie. Or might might live long, mo'rich. Goo'ani. Good life"

sorry, don't know green text. or is the lil'gon something else?

He'll shit bricks when we show him our trophy dragon head

>>8839389
Meh, some swamp troll's prophecies have nothing on diceroller

>>8839389
That is not part of the prophecy, just the way to activate our sword's magic. And it talks about wyvern in any case.

>>8839389
I think we're supposed to ride a wyvern, not this dragon.

I also think that since it's a (double) critical success, QL won't screw us over here.

>>8839206
You don't have a ring of romance, just one of inspiration/courage and one of luck. Both used.

>>8839215
You throw anohter puch at the angry beast, this time aiming for its one good eye. You miss completely, the powder bursts over its back, and it seems not to notice this.

It's bad eye however continues to bubble and burn, and you thank Byron that you decided alchemy was the way to a girls heart.

>>8839249
Will happen.

>>8839247
>>8839254
Consecutive crits. MAXIMUM WIN ENGAGED.

The dragon lunges at you, and you nod to Doobs, who knows just what to do. He runs in, slashing at it's flank and as it turns to snap at him you leap forth, stark at your side. Stark bites at its claw, sinking his teeth into the softer smoother scales in the palm as you land on the dragons head spearing Thorn down thourgh its good eye and deep into its brain. pushing thorn deeper and deeper until until the hilt has sunk into its soft gooey eye, you hold on for dear life as it spasms. After moments it drops to the floor, its spasms weakened and the beast vanquished. Wiping a blade off on cloth nearby you thanky Byron for the chance to finihs wooing he girl of your dreams. You tuen back to see clint, having brought Cohen and Leold down, standing shocked and in awe. Cohen breaks the silence "You said it was serious Clint, looks like our Lord Green had it all under control. The Doobs blood flows strong in you, and the rest of your blood is flowing strongly enough as well, surprisingly all on the inside."

>>8839443
Correct. The prophecy involves wyverns. This dragon is just a random encounter.

Also, do dragons in this setting have a hoard?
