I become god and bring world to its knees before eating the milky way and opening one of my one mouth and sing the song that ends the universe.

Sorry. I've been extremely busy with exams. You have my blessing to DM this quest until I'm done.

How humanoid is our appearance? Do we still speak Common in the child's voice?

Note: in keeping with this quest's tradition, I've got a dice roller going to speed it up. I'll change that if desired.

>I use my knowledge of the city to locate a laboratory or maybe a law firm... somewhere I can grow smarter.
>1d20+4=5
You know that wizards tend to be the smartest of people. You know there are some in this city, not the great sequestered archmages performing grand experiments, but the more practical sort who earn a day-to-day living applying their magic practically.

>Sorry. I've been extremely busy with exams. You have my blessing to DM this quest until I'm done.
If you have any setting info, plot plans, or the like, please drop a quick email to me and I'll use them.

Suggestion: As wizards might be limited, we might be better off munching them for their spell levels, and finding someone else intelligent to actually increase the ability score.

We'll still need a spellbook to prepare wizard spells, right? That could make things even more complicated, because we'll need a source of Spellcraft as well.

Do we know if any of those wizards work nights? Probably easier to get 'em if they're napping.

>How humanoid is our appearance? Do we still speak Common in the child's voice?

Humanoid in posture and general appearance, you'll pass under a quick inspection, in the dark, or while covered up. Closer examinations will reveal you to be something else. You still have the child's voice.

>>9277916
Civilians, animals, meager druids are one thing, but wizards... I can recall tales of wizards. I wish to see if these tales are true.

>We'll still need a spellbook to prepare wizard spells, right? That could make things even more complicated, because we'll need a source of Spellcraft as well.

You'll need the requisite Intelligence, a spellbook, spell slots, and the Spellcraft to decipher the book.

>Do we know if any of those wizards work nights? Probably easier to get 'em if they're napping.
The knowledge you devoured didn't include even the location of these wizards, let alone their schedule. You can remember a few names.

>Civilians, animals, meager druids are one thing, but wizards... I can recall tales of wizards. I wish to see if these tales are true.

How do you wish to go about this?

I suggest we roam around the dark alleys of the streets. We need detailed hiding-spot information and stuff, and personal observation is a decent way to get that. We might find some prey while learning the city layout, as well.

>>9278052
I lack knowledge of their location, maybe I can absorb someone who has this?

>>9278080
>>9278092
This. Continue to roam the streets gaining knowledge and power, eventually consume wizards

>I suggest we roam around the dark alleys of the streets. We need detailed hiding-spot information and stuff, and personal observation is a decent way to get that. We might find some prey while learning the city layout, as well.
>This. Continue to roam the streets gaining knowledge and power, eventually consume wizards
You stick to the back alleys, keeping quiet, finding hiding holes and getting a mental map of the area near the animal shelter. Most of the buildings are built out of brick, the streets made of cobblestone. There's relatively few people outside, as it's a religious holiday. You hear voices in one of the alleys, and further investigation shows it to be several unkempt individuals, who seem to be brokering a deal.

>I lack knowledge of their location, maybe I can absorb someone who has this?
That would work nicely, and increase your total knowledge of this city. Not to mention, it would take a little edge off of your persistent hunger.

>>9278165
Have they seen me yet?

>>9278165
I observe the men and wait, they will have to separate from each other eventually

>Have they seen me yet?
1d20+11=18
No, they have not.

As a reminder:
>You are now aware that you're in a small city known as Piedmont, in the kingdom of Ker. It's populated almost entirely by humans, though members of other PHB races are not unheard of.
>People generally stay the fuck out of the sewers when they can help it. Among other things, the sewers do indeed contain alligators. They've been confirmed to grow up to five feet in length, and you remember hearing tall tales about ones three times that size.
>You know of a nearby church of St. Cuthbert, and one of Pelor several blocks away.
>The family you ate attended services at the Pelorian church every Friday around noon. It's currently Wednesday morning, around 11am.
>There's also the animal shelter, the tavern, the brothel, the vinter's house, or anywhere else you can think of.

Look for and eat a prostitute.

>>9278247
>It's currently Wednesday morning, around 11am.

Seems like we should get to sewers after dealing with the current situation. Besides, tasty gators!

How many people are in the back alley? Listen and observe for now.

>>9278239
Second this, we should follow the one who got paid once they split.
We can use the money, and he will also probably have more knowledge about the city's black market, etc.

>a religious holiday
>The family you ate attended services at the Pelorian church every Friday

Given this information, I assume we would know whether or not the holiday in question was Pelorite or Cuthbertite?

eat the the brothel

Two of the men are getting after the third about making his allotted payments. They seem to be a local detachment of a criminal enterprise. The third complains that business has been badly lately, and he can't get blood from a stone. He's told he gets a week, or understood punishments will follow.

>Given this information, I assume we would know whether or not the holiday in question was Pelorite or Cuthbertite?
Perlorite.

Getting to other orders, one moment.

The two men berate the single man for a short while further, and then allow him to leave, remaining where they are and talking between themselves.

>Look for and eat a prostitute.
>eat the the brothel
You suspect the prostitutes are off the street this close to the church. You know the location of a brothel.

>>9278349
>They seem to be a local detachment of a criminal enterprise.
Shouldnt we follow those instead, and eat entire thieves guild?

>>9278389
Look for and hunt down a lone prostitute and eat her when no one is looking. Making sure to be stealthy and silent. Also take her possessions.

We might as well gank the one who was bitching about lacking money. It's not as if he'll be das ubermensch, after all.

>>9278452
Second. Still, even 1d6 sneak attack would be great for our fighting style.

>>9278466

Yeah, but can we take on two of the thieves guild enforcers at once?

Eat the guy who is paying protection.

>We might as well gank the one who was bitching about lacking money. It's not as if he'll be das ubermensch, after all.
You take a route to cut him off while remaining unseen, and get behind him right as he is about to exit the alleyways. Do you have a particular way you wish to attack?

>Look for and hunt down a lone prostitute and eat her when no one is looking. Making sure to be stealthy and silent. Also take her possessions.
You make a mental note to do this at the first opportunity.

I search for another doppleganger.

>>9278547

Slit throat from behind, quieter that way.

>>9278547
I crack him in the back of the skull with my cricket bat, hoping to finish him off quickly

cover his mouth and pull him back into the alleyway

>>9278547
I go in search of said prostitute.

>>9278586
>>9278602
combine these

How to attack. Hm.

I say we eschew weapons for this one. Leap on him, clawing and biting like all fuck. Ought to maximize shock factor.

>>9278602
yes we wouldn't want people to hear him

>I crack him in the back of the skull with my cricket bat, hoping to finish him off quickly
>cover his mouth and pull him back into the alleyway

You surprise him and pull him backwards, then brain him over the head with your bat. He goes down easier than expected, being a rather large man.

Body? Oh, there's no body. Just some blood and grime left now. You were -hungry-. You have a very efficient digestive system, after all.

>>9278881
If you're the same guy who keeps whining to eat a prostitute, you're a creepy fuck. Voting no just to spite you.

Look around outside of the alley, see if there are obvious targets.

>>9278920
No, I just joined the thread and saw a bunch of replies talking about prostitutes and brothels and decided I'd go along with it. I could also go for a preist or one of those thieves if it is possible to catch up to them and take them down in our current state.

>>9278881
this lets eat it

>Look around outside of the alley, see if there are obvious targets.

There's someone walking down the street alone. A child with a dog. They're out in the open, but you don't see anyone else on the street.

You know where the brothel and two separate churches are. The Pelorite church is more likely to have numerous people there. You can catch up to the thieves; whether you can kill them or not you do not know.

Seems to be split opinion on this. Will wait for consensus.

Thieves. They might be seperable, then we can attack the one who seems least able to defend itself/notice us/flee.

You hurry to catch up to the thieves, snagging an alleycat on the way. You've absorbed all you can fro cats, but it's still yummy. The two are entering a doorway, and one of them jerks his head at your approach. "Thought I heard something over there, Bjorn. Do you think we got followed?" The two look at each other, hesitant.

Follow thieves.

How much do we weigh?
I'm thinking we could use -ourselves- as a weapon, jump from great height, holding the knife in such a way as our body weight pushes it into whatever we land on.

Meow.

Nobody gives a shit about Cats.

>>9279340
This. Let out a cat-like meow.

>>9279308
Make a cat noise, while getting out of visible range.
I assume that's a Disguise check, but I'm not sure.

>>9279322
Either jump or climb up the building near them, then jump down with the bat or knife ready to bring down right on one of their heads or backs. The image I have of this in my mind is epic.

>is there a way to remove traits?
You do not know the full extent of your capabilities. When you eat things, you take what makes them special and make yourself even more so. Can you make yourself less special?

>Do we have the skill to use scrolls?
Not yet.

Wear the armor, clothes on whatever parts of the body are left unclothed. Might as well wear raincoat to disguise claws unless the raincoat gives a DEX penalty.

Well we certainly have the Dex to try something like that. But do we have the proficiency with such acrobatics? I doubt it.

>>9279371
how about hiding traits to blend in better?

>>9279340
>>9279351

Seconding

>Meow.
>Bluff: 1d20+2=21

You let out your best meow, and the first thief relaxes visibly. The other one still looks suspicious.
"I'm going to go check it out just to be sure, Bjorn."
"Just one of those damn alleycats."
"Probably. I'll be inside in a moment."

Bjorn goes inside. The suspicious thief begins walking your way. Action?

>>9279486
Suggest: Jump to any spot up a wall that is still clearly in the Alleyway and not visible from the street outside.
Pounce on 2nd thief and slit his throat real quick-like. They never look up.

Hide behind a corner and ready an action to hit him in the head with the cricket bat when he comes in range.

>>9279486
That is, pounce on the suspicious one. From an elevated position so as to maximise surprise and hopefully get in a good surprise Slash with the knife up against his throat.

>>9279527

>Drop useless items.
Done.

>Suggest: Jump to any spot up a wall that is still clearly in the Alleyway and not visible from the street outside.
>Pounce on 2nd thief and slit his throat real quick-like. They never look up.
Knife equipped. +5 melee, 1d4+4.
You leap up, and climb to the third story, and wait for the thief to walk underneath. He never sees you coming. The surprise lets you strike once, twice! before he can hope to respond, and by then it's far too late. All he manages is a scream of pain, which you quickly cut short.

Hey, I just wanted to see a very cool, well run quest not fall by the wayside like so many others. I'll be happy when Prime Mover takes it back over, though; I've got enough on my plate between work, and running an IRL game + Terminator Quest.

>if we eat a rank 3 something then a rank 4 of the same thing do we have rank 4 or 7?
Rank 4.

3 ranks in Disguise acquired. The thief was too skinny to be a real meal. You suspect his scream may have attracted attention. What do you wish to do?

You leap and climb back into position, as the first thief pops out the door. "Orm? Was that you? Orm? ...Shit." He darts back inside for a moment, then comes back out with a loaded crossbow, very tense. He doesn't seem to have spotted you just yet, but he's very alert.

>>9279941

Hide until he walks close enough to jump on, then jump and nom nom nom.

Thank you. I'll try to get it moving faster in future threads; a certain amount of the slowness is all the stuff I'm keeping track of (there's a number of tables I wrote up for it, besides the numbers--I really should be using a spreadsheet), but some of it is just waiting for /tg/ to respond and agree. Still, it's a fun change after running Dreamscape Quest.

The way I see it, we'll eat a crossbow shot if we run and we'll eat one if we stay in melee, given that we can 2-round this guy.

>>9280320
Whatever he's got it lets him shoot twice per round.
I want that.

>>9280239
Bite and Stab! Chop and Gob! Rip and Tear! Cleave and sm... Cleave and Cleave!

when we kill him we are taking his cross-bow proficiency

>Knife attack: 1d20+5=22
>Damage: 1d4+4=6
>Bite attack: 1d20+5=21
>Damage: 1d6+4=9

The crossbow bolt doesn't have time to slow you down. A knife in the gut causes Bjorn to fling his head back in a spasm of pain, and your teeth snap forward eagerly to tear out his neck.

If we kill him. He'll hit us once more in between our 2 rounds on a d8, if it's 6-7-8 we're toast, so that's a 62.5% chance to not be dead.

gouge out his eyes

>when we kill him we are taking his cross-bow proficiency
You may also take this.

You acquire his crossbow and 4 bolts.

Take balance.

point blank shot

open lock

>>9280413
This plox.

we can get crossbow proficiency from almost anyone with class levels point blank shot is harder to find take that

>>9280347
It's likely more than one thing. then again, even proficiency with this crossbow would be worth the injuries we've already sustained.

>>9280393
Point Blank Shot

>>9280278

Wait, it was him shooting us twice? I thought it was another thief. My bad.

Rush him.

>>9280393
HOLY SHIT WE CAN STAB WHILE WE BITE.
THIS IS AWESOME.

>Open Lock: 3
Yep, that'll be useful.
>Spot: 4
Also potentially useful.

I say we grab Spot. Lets us find more things to eat.

>Bah, must be one of those fast-loading ones.
>... wait, did Bjorn just make 2 shots in a row while we were aware of him? Guess he got a surprise round while we were gettin' consensus.

He reacted while you thought you were still safely hidden, and during his normal initiative turn reloaded his light crossbow (move action) and fired (standard action).

>Generally natural weapons can be mixed with manufactured weapon attacks, but the natural weapon is secondary, and a -5. RAW.
Forgot about the -5, but the hit would still have landed. Thank you for noting that. You now can apply +1 to one future d20 roll, declared before the roll takes place.

we need point blank shot

>>9280393
Umm... shouldn't there be something about getting knowlege of the local criminal element? This guy does work for some kind of organized crime.

Point blank shot, then hope for another crossbow wielding meal for the proficiency.

>>9280490
Point blank shot isn't that useful since we're quite melee-focused at the moment

its good to think ahead though

>Umm... shouldn't there be something about getting knowlege of the local criminal element? This guy does work for some kind of organized crime.

You already have 4 ranks in Knowledge: Local, which is all Bjorn has. You do get slightly more information to flesh this rank out just from eating him (circumstantial bonus). Also, you regain 1 HP from the meal. 7/14.

cross-bow proficiency

Whew, that was our most dangerous fight since the cat. Let's nom some rats and cats till we're full health.

>>9280531
Well why not? PBS is still useful. Let's grab that.

Now we are wounded. How do we fix wounds?

Kill the other thief then find food to heal.

>>9280531
Point blank shot is useful even without the crosbow, for throwing. +1 to hit and damage within 30' is boss, especially when we're dropping something heavy on someone from a rooftop. Speaking of that, we should gather some cobblestones and place them on some rooftops we could hide on, so we have weapons stashed for later hunting, and so that we have things to drop on pursuers if we're discovered later.

>>9280594
If we throw ourselves off a rooftop do we count as a ranged weapon?

>>9280594
this is a good plan

>>9280560
Ah, okay. Grab point black shot. Then go after some... softer targets to heal. Maybe by buying a whore then eating her and taking the money back. Rinse and Repeate.

>Now we are wounded. How do we fix wounds?
You regain 1 HP per creature consumed. You haven't tried it, but healing magic should work fine. Time resting will also heal wounds.

Consensus seems to be either crossbow proficiency (to remove -4 nonproficiency penalty) or Point Blank Shot. First of these two to get three votes after this post will be chosen.

raid the hideout

We must find and NOM eatable cats and eatable alone persons. That Thieves den probably has more people in it than just those two, so we better gtfo.

>>9280627
This,Also is it possible to use STD's as a touch attack to infect others?

Point Blank Shot

>>9280638
Point blank shot.

>>9280627
ha soft target at that brothel

>>9280638
PBS.
Move silently and peek into hideout entrance. If we hear or see anything moving inside, get the FUCK back from there and run away.

crossbow proficiency

>>9280658
like that are STD's in a world with healing magic

Point blank shot.

>>9280658
In the first quest the DM stated we didn't get the diseases from the hobo when we ate him, so I doubt we have much to worry about with STDs. That also me I doubt we can weaponize them.

Side, why would we want to? Disease is a slow killer, and we are all about quick, personal, and stealthy kills. And the noms. Remember, we do it for the noms.

>>9280718
My Mistake.
Point blank shot.
Find more easy targets.

>>9280746
Look inside thieves' den, listening and watching for any movement or sound from within.
If we see and hear none, disguise as either thief we just ate and enter.
Otherwise, if we see and hear something, gtfo.

>>9280681

Second this. Let's hope that the thieves are on a lunch break or something.

Point Blank Shot, then brothel.

Point Blank Shot Acquired. Your eyes flex slightly, as the nearby world appears to be in sharper focus. With the addition of 3 humans (and just one cat) to your diet, you begin to look more properly human.

You take the crossbow and bolts, 23 gold pieces, and a nice pair of boots. You're not sure how the crossbow is best used, but surely someone can give you that information in the future.

>raid the hideout
>Move silently and peek into hideout entrance. If we hear or see anything moving inside, get the FUCK back from there and run away.

You begin to move toward the hideout, but a sudden pain wracking your body makes you double over.
>Fort save: 1d20+4=12

(cont)

Shit! Poisoned bolts!

>>9280827
D'oh! Dude poisoned his bolts.

.>>9280827
Fuck. We should have expected this with the whole skill focus poison making.
Go find some quick noms, now. Screw the theives den. It'll be there later.

>>9280827
i knew this would happen when i saw Skill focus: Craft (Poison) on the things to acquire list

>>9280869
Agreed. We need to be better healed.

>>9280869
there might be an antidote in the hide out

>>9280895
Doubtful. It's likely just Stat damage, and our stats are great. We should take it easy and heal. No more daring do.

Look, you creepy fuck. No brothel, all right? Going to a brothel is a bad idea- First, it's likely protected, and there'll be people on hand to stop you from nomming the girls. Also, word of a guy who kills and eats whores will get round *fast*, and makes staying in the shadows so much harder.

I say we find somewhere to rest until the spasms stop- Then we feast on the weakling we find. Lowlifes, derelicts, hobos, to get a proper human guise.

>>9280827
The DC for that is 10 + Half his level + his skill with poisons. that is, 14 or so. I do believe we just took 1d10 con damage.

>>9280931
Well we don't have to Eat the girls. We can just sort of follow them and then eat them.
... okay fuck it you're right, but we can at least follow someone ELSE buying a girl.

>Shit! Poisoned bolts!
You realize this with a shudder. What was put on these bolts? Your mind begins to cloud, and it's all you can do to crawl toward a semblance of a hiding place before you can't think any further. As you black out, you have a fleeting thought: whatever these bolts do... if you live through this, you have three of them for your very own use.

END SESSION II

>No, didn't kill him, it's a knockout poison. For how long, you ask? And what happens in the meantime? Find out next session on Doppleganger Damacy!

OHHH NOOOOOO

Good thread, btw.

>>9280970

This is really why a couple fo you want to go to the brothels so bad.

>>9280964
Good thread. Very enjoyable.
Any idea when we get next thread?

>>9280999
Glad you enjoyed it. Much as I'd like to not cut it off here, it's a good hour past when I should be asleep, and I have PT before the sun gets up.

Terminator Quest should be tomorrow, usual time. Figure I can work another session of Doppleganger goodness in Tues or Wed.
