oh wow

Daaaaamn.

That's a lot of good stuff.

Lure with child's voice then eat, do it

hmm, i'm torn between sense motive, diplomacy and bluff.

>>9843130
Jesus dude you couldn't read the first post?

Bluff

I'm going to say Sense Motive or Bluff

>>9843086
I'm thinking Skill Focus: Diplomacy. Boosts our social skills, and it's going to be much rarer than simple ranks.

I choose Appearance.

Let's take the diplomacy and head back toward the bar.

>>9843152

Hmm, with the Appraise I suspect his a trader but the proficiencies are throwing me off. I half suspect we just killed a noble but the lack of Knowledge(Royalty) is my only solace. I really like the SF: Sense Motive or Diplomacy over the Appearance at this point.

You note that in addition to the nice clothing he was wearing there's a signet ring, and a fairly heavy coin pouch. He was carrying a rapier, but it's more stylish than functional.

>>9843173
*the skill focus I mean

>>9843185
Take the coins, the other items may be traced. Sift through the bag to ensure there isn't anything else in there.

>>9843185
Take ring and coin purse, discard the rapier.

Appearance. Lets make ourselves look a bit nicer (for Claire as well) so we can keep people off guard.

>>9843152
Sounds good.

>>9843185
Bloody hell, he was a noble. We'll catch hell for this. We have to grab a bunch of people for social skills and then change our appearance, tonight. Memorize the symbol on the ring, and throw it into the river. Pocket the cash, though.

+5 ranks in Diplomacy

>Skill focus: Diplomacy
>Appearance
Seem to have the consensus. First to three, as usual.

Something about his appearance is nagging you, but it's on the edge of your memory. The sign on the signet isn't wholly unknown either. You're hardly pulling any residual memories from this guy--he must have been a real scatterbrain.

You pocket the coins, and toss the rapier aside. Wear the nice clothing?

Skill focus: Diplomacy

>>9843300
Diplomacy

>>9843304

>>9843300
Diplomacy.

Don't wear the clothing yet. We're too close to the crime scene.

>>9843300
How distinctive is the "Nice" clothing?

Skill Focus: Diplomancy. We don't want to look like a recently missing noble.

Ok that was a ton of simultaneous posts. Who else is F5ing this thing every 2 seconds?

Diplomacy. Take a couple articles of clothing ditch or burn the rest. We don't want to be walking around in the whole set.

>>9843300
Did we deliver anything to this guy/someone bearing his sigil? That might be something tough to remember.

One would think that with Wis 17, we'd recall things clearly.

>>9843335
Yo.

I say find a mirror or window and see how we look. If we don't look too inhuman, this is good enough for now and lets go sleep. Keep the clothes that aren't too flashy/rich looking/distinctive.

SKILL FOCUS: DIPLOMACY ACQUIRED. You feel your tongue literally becoming smoother in your mouth, and your facial appearance changes a little more than normal.

>How distinctive is the "Nice" clothing?
You're not sure, but it's definitely not the kind that you've seen the average person wearing.

>>9843300
Wear the clothes then go sleep.

>>9843378
let's save it then, until we can figure out more about it.

Wear the pants and undershirt, hide the more distinctive outer clothing and head back to Claire's.

>One would think that with Wis 17, we'd recall things clearly.
Much of your knowledge of the city comes from the memories of a child, filled in with small amounts of memories from other humans you've eaten. Your own memories you can recall distinctly, but if the child didn't know it well it can prove difficult.

>I say find a mirror or window and see how we look. If we don't look too inhuman, this is good enough for now and lets go sleep.
Other than the eyes, you could pass as human at first glance.

You bundle up the clothing. Head back and sleep, or find another target?

Sleep time is now.

Head back and sleep. What's our HP at?

>Sleep time is now.
>Head back and sleep. What's our HP at?
Current HP: 9/22

You head back to Claire's place, and stow the clothing before she can spot them. Turns out to be unneeded, as she left a note that she went to bed early but left dinner out for you.

>>9843471
consume meal, sleep.

>>9843471
uh-oh, that's not a good thing.

>consume meal, sleep.
You eat the food and crash on the couch. Morsel walk over and curls up on your chest as you nod off.

You wake up, and with a vote or two I'll skip right past breakfast and courier running and move straight to the afternoon.

>>9843471
Could be a trap. Search the house.

>>9843471
Aww, how nice.

I propose that tomorrow after we courier, we go to the woods. We've been causing too much trouble in the city and I suspect that Mr. Diplomacy will cause us some grief if it gets tied in with our other killings.

>>9843524
skip

>>9843524
Skip, and let's go check out nature.

>>9843527
I agree, might be able to find some rangers/wild animals.

Play with nature, might find something worthwhile

TempDM. I just want you to know I get a lot of enjoyment out of these threads, even if I don't contribute.

Do we still have that crossbow?
Let's go kill a bear or a deer or something and get REALLY REALLY FUCKING FAST

>>9843593
We're already really fucking fast.

>>9843593
Speaking of crossbow, let's pick up a few more bolts for it; we're running low.

>>9843609
Definitely.

>>9843596
Tough shit, we have to go get even faster.

>>9843637
I concur

>LOOK STATS
and
>LOOK INVENTORY
please.

As you did your courier duties, much of the city was abuzz with the news that an aristocrat's son disappeared the night before, and that only his rapier and a pool of blood were found.

Notably, one of your courier clients told you conspiratorially that it was probably revenge from the shapeshifters--that the victim had ridden with the group that had left a werebear grievously wounded in the woods only the day before. Since it had somehow escaped, it must have sent its allies to attack those who had hunted it. With a couple deft questions, you find that the city is apparently having skirmishes with an effective alliance of were-creatures. And that there's already a possible war with a major kingdom to the north just waiting to get touched off.

>Speaking of crossbow, let's pick up a few more bolts for it; we're running low.
Second for doing this before heading into the woods?

>TempDM. I just want you to know I get a lot of enjoyment out of these threads, even if I don't contribute.
This makes me glad, because that's why I'm running them.

Dangerous, but we may want to kill a mountain lion or something similar.

Pounce!

P.S. sup Adam.

We should try to get ourselves some spells sometime.

>>9843706
If you mean me, I'm not Adam.

>Try find some but let's not dally around
You head back to the same arms dealer you found before. He's happy have you there, though it takes a moment for him to recognize you with the changed features. He's a little bothered, but not enough to stop him from selling his wares.

"Crossbow bolts by the 10 are a mere 3 gold! If you want them silvered up, then we're talking only 24 per bundle, as you're a valued customer!"

>>9843769
Let's get one silvered and two bundles of regular.

>>9843769
Take the ten for three gold, and get a bundle of silver ones, stuff em' somewhere where they won't touch us while we's inna woods.
Don't know if we're vulnerable to silver yet.

>>9843769
No, don't mean you. He's anon, but mentioned he liked this particular quest so I decided to jump in and see what it's all about. Likin' it so far, keep up the good work.

>>9843769
Get 5 silvered, 5 normal? 13.50gp i believe.

>We haven't regained any health?
That's the part of the stat block I always forget to update, since I usually do it in thread. 10/22 is where you're at now.

>Ask Claire about the war when we met her.
"I don't pay a lot of attention to politics, BUT... we're staring across each other's borders and waiting for the other side to make the first move, as I understand it. So this thing with the shapeshifters comes at a bad time, since we don't want to look weak and have a horde of undead pouring in."

>>9843814
Undead? What's happening there.

Also, do undead have any cool feats?

>>9843814
Ah right, well I suggest we find a priest to get healed and possibly eat?

Notice how people are talking about shapeshifterS in plural, we may be not alone.

>>9843769
We currently have no lack of funds, and there are weres in them thar woods. Get two bundles of silvered bolts, and two standard.

>>9843824
our abilities seem to stem from our miraculous biology, so I for one would like to hold off on becoming skeletal.

>>9843824
http://www.dandwiki.com/wiki/SRD:Undead_Type

This, I guess?

>Averaged purchase request = 2 bundles of 10 of each
You hand over 54 gold (160 left), and get a pair of bundles of each type of crossbow bolt, taking care to avoid the silver tips.

32 regular bolts (2 poison tipped)
20 silvered bolts

Action?

>>9843853
Well skeletal, would give us a more human like structure surely...

>>9843867
We need to get healed first, go to a cleric.

>>9843894
Err, is that supposed to be Claire bungling the phrase, or did you mix up coup d'état?

>woods
>TALLY HO TO THE FOREST FOR SOME FINE EVENING SPORT!

You head out the gates and walk until you reach the forest. Wander around and hope to run into something? Your natural survival skills aren't exactly anything to be proud of.

>>9843904
I second this, let's find a lonely cleric.

>>9843877


A bear there was, a bear, a bear!
All black and brown, and covered with hair!
The bear! The bear!
Oh, come, they said, oh come to the fair!
The fair? Said he, but I'm a bear!
All black, and brown, and covered with hair!

>>9843928
Go back to town.

>>9843928
get a bit of distance from the city, and climb a tree.

We're going to get one-shotted at this rate...

>>9843928
Run down and devour a squirrel or two. We're faster than they are, and we could use the healing and stats.

>Err, is that supposed to be Claire bungling the phrase, or did you mix up coup d'état?
Intentional. She's smart with a lot of subjects, but she doesn't follow politics more than she has to (more than she has to listen to when doing courier runs), and her information on the subject isn't always 100% accurate.

>Town & Cleric
You realize you may have been a bit hasty, and head back into town. The guards laugh to see you again so shortly. The two main churches in town are of Pelor and St Cuthbert.

to the great smashy gods abode

>>9843982
The lower standard one

Let's see if they offer anything along the lines of repenting. Would be nice to have a way out of our murder spree.

Go to Pelor. Fuck Cuthbert.

>to the great smashy gods abode

At St Cuthbert's church, a grizzled man meets you at the front door. "You're not one of my regulars. An out of towner? Or has someone wronged you?"

>>9844005
This.

>>9844055
>>9844053
hahaha

>>9844055
Are we alone?

Get healed, then let's hunt down that werebear while it's still injured. That would be a HUGE boost to us.

This may have already been touched on already, but is there a reason we don't just dig a hole, eat an earthworm, and gain tremorsense?

Also, shouldn't we have the tracking abilities/sense of smell of a feline? If so, we could possibly use that to track down some wilderness prey

>>9844055
Say we're out of town, just come to pray? Then talk to priest heal, if he's alone eat, if not see if we can convince to talk to us in private (repenting or something I guess) then eat.

>>9844100
Eating things smaller than a rat don't seem to affect us.

>>9844116
I wonder if a handful of worms would do the trick... though we're sure to look ugly after that.

>>9844102
Let's see about confessing our crimes

What's this cleric's patron deity?

>>9844099
Maybe we can find out where it went and then do that.

>>9844131
Screw dat.

>>9844144
I meant as a way to get him alone.

>>9844157
I don't think we should be looking to devour the old man yet. He's likely a match for us under good conditions.

See if we can make a tithe for healing.

Here's a radical thought, lets see if we can pay for a healing? I'd rather not have the entire church after us, what with clerics having divination.

>>9844210
Seconded.

>>9844209
>>9844210
Pussies...

>Are we alone?
As far as you know, though you're in public view of the street. The priest looks like the sort who's been personally doing some of the smashing and vengeance for Cuthbert.

"Healing? Don't let the Pelorians tell you otherwise, we're more than capable of assisting you there. In fact, I can help you here and send you on your way, although the church would appreciate a donation to help us continue providing our services."

>>9844216
Also, Diplomacy check to make him more friendly and possibly an ally?

give a 20 gold donation.

"I've had a rough day or so and am rather banged up, do you have a healer available that accepts tithes?" We might as well use our new found diplomacy.

>>9844226
Alright, get healed, pay standard rate, haul ass to the woods and let's get crackin'

>>9844242
MADNESS

>>9844242
20 Gold is pretty substantial.

>>9844272
>>9844286
god damned misers

>>9844318
We eat people. I'm fine being stingy.

20gp might mean that the doorman/priest remembers us fondly and we might have an avenue of healing that doesn't require blowing our cover.

>>9844318
Why would we want to give this guy 20gp, we're basically the opposite end of the spectrum alignment wise and our goals are unlikely to be similar in anyway.

>>9844328
Come on, man, minimize our vices here. Besides, it's never a bad thing to keep the ones healing you happy.

ok, ok I suppose It's a bit out of character to donate alot. Give a little for healing though.

>>9844365
Screw dat. We'll find someone who can heal to eat soon anyway! Waste of gp.

>Pay, heal, go

You pay 20 gold to avoid questions or talking, and the priest heals you until you're at full readiness. You've got bigger concerns, like hunting--and that werebear sounds like a fine target.

Do not forget to make a Diplomacy check.

Not really too far out of character. I mean we bought Morsel to make Claire more friendly with us. I'd rather be too generous than too stingy with a potential ally.

>>9844404
That werebear doesn't sound like a fine target, actually. We could probably kill it successfully, yes, because we move faster, jump like nobody's business, and have a climb speed, but that doesn't mean that it would be easy. We might even run out of silvered bolts before it died, and then we'd be screwed because we can't get through its DR.

Let's start out slow.

>>9844404
Gimme my 20gp back!

Lets go out a different gate so Mr Laughing Gate Guard doesn't recognize us.

>>9844229
>>9844418
Diplomacy check.

Let's see if we can't get a little repertoire going with the old man.

>>9844478
>>9844470

Those.

>>9844404
Ok, so, stalk the woods stealthily, using the cat sense to help track any tasty foes.

>>9844519
No, don't demand it back. Sure, we could be cheap bastards, but why? It's not like we have some incredible need for cash.

>>9844457
It's WEAK. They almost killed it already, we just need to finish it off. And we have 20 bolts, if you think we'll need more then we can buy them.

We can't pass this up.

The money is gone and it was well spent. We'll get more money, just think of the 20gp as an investment in getting traits sooner.

>>9844519
No reason to demand it back. Reasonable price for healing.
Yeah, we need to get back to our hunting. Just think of all those new tasty animals living in the forest. We need to work on our combat skills. We've been making do with good stats and stealth, but we could be much better with some real combat focus.

Werebear

>>9844680
Well, whatever we come across first I guess, but for the moment try general hunting and finding some rangers.

I too would like to eat the werebear

I personally don't think we're yet a match for a ranger or a werebear, I'd prefer the general hunting to hopefully find a dumber bear or something that we can beat by outsmarting.

>>9844680
General hunting first; we'll want at least a few wilderness tricks picked up from animals before hunting the werebear. We can go after the werebear immediately after killing a couple small animals.

>>9844762
Animals don't have bonuses to Survival though.

>>9844755
We won't be its match for a long time if it gets the opportunity to heal. We have silver bolts, let's not lose the chance.

Eh, screw it, you only live once. Changing my general hunting vote to Werebear.

>>9844798
>>9844731
>>9844709
We don't know where to find it. We don't know where it WAS, let alone where it IS. We don't have any Survival skills to help us with that. And it could very well kill us.

General hunting.

I don't see the hang up on killing the werebear, surely we should save it and take it to the other shapechangers. One we'll know where they are, two they might be able to give us more information about ourself etc.

lets hunt

>>9844845
>Save it

When we could EAT IT and gain its powers? It's not even the same kind of shapeshifter we are. We're nothing alike.

About the only animal with bonuses to Survival are canines and then only for tracking. I'm surprised we've not killed a dog yet for tracking and that bonus.

Were-bear hunting has consensus. How do you want to go about this? Planning is probably going to be pretty important here--just wandering out into the woods and hoping to find it isn't a likely option for success (and even in character you'd know that), even with Scent.

>General hunting

then
>Find a ranger/survivalist first

>>9844884
>>9844798
...huh, really? That seems odd. Survival being used for wilderness survival, one would think that basically all non-domesticated animals would have ranks in or racial bonuses to it.

>>9844932
Probably they just don't need it, in game designer thought. An animal needs no skill to live in the wild, its instinctual.

>>9844919
We'd need to do some sort of information-gathering in the city as to where the werebear was found, then go track it down, and... y'know, I can't help but think that this may be beyond our capabilities. Finding the damn thing, not killing it.

Can we switch to general hunting? Because that has a consensus (ish), and its a lot less suicidal.

>>9845005
and alot easier...

Well, an injured intelligent creature would look for some place to hide. Assuming it thinks sort of like a bear, shall we go toward some rocky/hilly terrain to try to find some caves and check for scents?

>>9844982
No, let's do just what you proposed. Find a source in the city who knows where they fought it, and then go there. Maybe find a dog in the meantime and get a basic Survival bonus, and then start tracking by scent.

General hunting for traits we can't pick up in the city would be nice. Maybe turn over logs and such to look for snakes or lay in ambush down wind of watering holes for bigger game?

>>9844919
We wander around the forest looking for it.

>Can we switch to general hunting? Because that has a consensus (ish), and its a lot less suicidal.
If people want to. I'm seeing plans for the were-bear already though, so I think its consensus is still valid.

>>9843935
Oh lord, Bear and the Maiden Fair

Nostalgia'd

>>9845071
You're a riot.

>>9845085

>>9844755
>>9844726
>>9844762
>>9845005
second, general hunting

One round of full attacks from a werebear and we're meat, not to mention we can't even find the damn thing

let's sneak around, see what we can scent up, and go from there

i say hunt the were-bear but keep an eye out for other types of pray.

Personally, I'm tired of going back and forth between the city. I say we check the water ways for the scent of a bear then try to find some caves. If we come across something else on the way, bonus.

>>9845093
Do you have the full lyrics?

>>9845136
Not after nearly getting raped by the adventurers last time around. I mean, they did say that we were predictable. We should be less predictable.

>>9845136
second.

>>9845112
third'd

If you're worried about us going to sources of water is too predictable, shall we just go look for caves then? We can move quite fast and still be stealthy and I figure we can out run anything meaner than us if we drop the stealth.

Well, we seem evenly split on were-bear and general hunting. Usual answer to that: first to three, and then no change.

>>9845250
I don't care, just get the game moving again. Both of them will probably involve wandering around in the wilderness anyway, let's just go. Call the werebear a target of opportunity.

Scout out caves then water, scenting for the werebear but if we smell something else worthwhile, we have the option of going after that.

>>9845250
general hunting, that fucking wearbear could eat us even if it is wounded

>>9845291
this

>>9845250
Well we're basically going to be doing general hunting if we search for the werebear anyway...

Let's hunt for the were-bear, but keep our eyes open for other prey.

I vote we hunt naturalists to get Weapon Proficiencies, then hunt the werebear.

General hunting

Is the thread autosaging?

Were-bear. Go to watering holes/streams and follow scent to possible lair/cave.

>>9845347
Not yet

General hunting it is.

Back into the woods you go, out a different gate.

>Follow scents
>Turn over rocks
>Run around and hope to run into something

Let's go find the werebear. I reckon we gather some brushwood and start a fire in it's cave and smoke it out and then sneak attack the fuck out of it with silverbolts.

>>9845372
follow scents

>>9845372

scents.

Follow scents. We're good at that, right?

move silently through the forest looking for any prey.

Follow some scents. Look for rangers/general prey and then see if we can find the werebear.

look for monstrous spiders.

DM?

>Scent
You try employing your sense of scent for one of the first times. You're not very good at differentiating the intermingling scents yet, but you try...
>1d20+3=17 Survival
...and manage to lock on to the scent of a weasel that passed not long ago.

KILL THE WEASEL! BLOOD FOR THE SHAPESHIFTING GOD!

>>9845473
Hunt the weasel and steal its cuteness.

>>9845473
CHASE THAT MOTHER DOWN

>>9845473

Track the weasel, and eat it. Hopefully it's cries of pain will alert some of the forests hunters to it's location and you can lie in wait for a larger creatures.

DEVOUR!

>>9845504
it's our final hour?

can we tell the difference between the scents of a weasel and a Dire weasel?

>>9845535
DUN NUN NUN NUN

>>9845566
I hope not.

>>9845566
I doubt it.

DM still in the thread?

shouldn't we have an AC of 19?

>1d20+3=20 Survival
Your good fortune continues, and you follow your nose, to a weasel-flavored surprise. It's bounding along, looking for mice and looking cute as it does so.

>Hopefully it's cries of pain will alert some of the forests hunters to it's location and you can lie in wait for a larger creatures.
You remember hearing at the tavern a way to utilize this, if you're not one that gets caught up with morality. It involves a cat, a hammer, a nail, and a tree.

>>9845615

Pin it to a tree by it's tail and let it scream it's little mustelid head off. And hide. And listen and spot for incoming creatures.

>>9845615
FEAST ON WEASAL! Leave a few entrails as bait for larger prey perhaps?

>>9845605
Also, we should have a Dwarven Waraxe attack, with +1 to hit and 1d10+6 damage (two handed) or 1d10+4 (one handed). If we run out of silver arrows, it's our best shot at beating the werebear's DR.

>DM still in the thread?
Sorry, things going on IRL are slowing me down a bit.

>shouldn't we have an AC of 19?
You do, and I just fixed it on the sheet.

>>9845615
attach weasel to tree via bolt, climb tree a good distance away (stay in visual range), wait for nature type to arrive.

Proceed to have ass handed to self or to nom person.

>>9845654

Seconded.

We are above morality. We have none, as we are a creature. Lets do that morally ambiguous thing.

It will chew through its tail to get free if it's that scared. I imagine you have to pin it by the nape of the neck or through its torso. Just don't hit the lungs if you are wanting the scream.

I feel awful...

>>9845652

That's alright, just caught up in the story and want to find out what will happen next.

>>9845673
That feeling is good, embrace it.

Also seconding the pinning with the recommendation about avoiding it chewing its way free.

Naaaah. Eat the thing! Look cute while doing so!

>>9845696
Set a couple more crossbow bolts across its midsection so that it can't bend around to chew at its tail.

DM, post whats going to happen with the weasel in a new thread. This has 237 replies, so its about to sage.

Weasel Jesus died for our sins.

>Also, we should have a Dwarven Waraxe attack, with +1 to hit and 1d10+6 damage (two handed) or 1d10+4 (one handed). If we run out of silver arrows, it's our best shot at beating the werebear's DR.
You hid the waraxe, along with everything you lack proficiency in.

>Make the cute weasel scream in pain to draw other animals to its poor self.
It tries to bite you, but a rap on the head stuns it long enough to attach it to the tree with several bolts hammered through its little body. You get into a different tree and wait as it begins to scream, crossbow at the ready for whatever might approach.

Man I feel fucking awful for supporting that idea.
Hope it works!

>>9845725
We've got 300+ before it will, with the new thread rules.

>>9845761
Okay, I laughed. Good one.

All a weasel has for us is a 5-foot improvement in Climb speed and the Attach ability, which isn't that great anyway. The Agile feat too, I guess. Which can't hurt.

>>9845807
that's basically nothing though.

>>9845775
We're skipping several hours or till something approaches, right?

fuck

awesome quest

or awesome vidya

what to choose

>We're skipping several hours or till something approaches, right?

It doesn't take long. That kind of scream attracts predators like moths to a flame. You hear a howl, which is soon returned by one from another location, and a possible third. The first one then gets closer.

The weasel doesn't stop screaming.

>>9845835
Are we seriously planning to sit and stare at a tortured weasel all through dusk? Man, what a dick we are.

>>9845865
;_;

....I wish we could heal. Jump down when the predators come, fend them off, and then heal the weasel and he will become our furry sidekick!

>>9845865
well, kill the weasel soon.

it's inhumane to keep it alive any longer than need be, and the predators are already on the scent.

>>9845865
nice a wolf pack

>>9845865
Poise crossbow ready for the wolf, try using scent to determine where they are? As soon as you see one, shoot it.

>>9845865
Eat the weasel, then climb a nearby tree and make a Hide check. Wait and watch for predators.

>>9845898
seconding

>>9845865
Oh FUCK.

>>9845892
Remember that bit about were-creatures? We know there's a were-bear, and were-wolves wouldn't be too much of a stretch from there.

Three of them would be kind of impossible to handle, and it's not like they're not going to think a weasel crossbow'd to a tree is somehow normal.

Odds are they're going to investigate pretty intently.

Leave the weasel there. We're already hidden and I doubt it has anything we need.

>>9845925
Well if it's multiple werewolves we can always try running like a bitch.

>>9845925
They can't climb though. So get a bit higher and more concealed in the tree, just to be safe.

>>9845954
or out-climbing them in trees

no reason for a werewolf to climb good.

>>9845954
We're good at running, and barring us getting fucking lost in the woods, we should be able to make it to safety.

If they're werewolves, we can just run away if we can't kill one with our silver bolts. We've got a higher move speed. If we do kill one, all our natural attacks will count as silvered after we take its DR X/silver.

If they're just normal wolves, we'll get Weapon Focus (Bite), Track, and their Trip ability, which makes us marginally more capable in melee combat.

>>9845954
could be a were and two normals

>sidekick!
You'll hate me for this now, but that was a perfectly valid option if people had wanted.

>Eat the weasel, then climb a nearby tree and make a Hide check. Wait and watch for predators.

CHOOSE ONE
Agile feat
20 foot climb speed
Attach
Escape Artist +4 ranks

You realize, as you reclimb the tree, that you've left a fine scent trail, and that the trees in this area are not so high...

I like our chances of fighting werewolves in the tree. We keep our dex bonus to AC in a tree, they don't.

>>9845997
FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

>>9845997
fuuuuck why do you people always say "eat it" when we need to kill something

I just wanted to put another bolt into it to put it out of its misery, but noooo

>>9845997
20 foot climb speed

>>9845997
Attach looks coolest

>>9845997
The fuck does agile do?
I'd go with escape artist.

>>9846014
because putting it out of its misery doesn't get use any bonuses

>>9845997
Agile feat or 20 climb speed

I say we go for Climb Speed. 20 feet is a 33% improvement over 15 feet, and it lets us move more quickly than humans climbing at half normal speed.

>>9846028
Agile [General]
Benefit

You get a +2 bonus on all Balance checks and Escape Artist checks.

>>9845997
>weasel sidekick
I suspect that the weasel would not have been too happy with this arrangement after we nailed it to a tree.

I suggest that we jump/glide from this tree to a nearby tree so that we can maintain watch while not having a scent trail leading right to us.

>>9846043
In that case agile.

>>9846032
It gets us +5 feel good points. Which fails to counteract the -40 from doing it. And the other -10 from finding out that we could have had a weasel sidekick.


HEY DM. DO WE HAVE ANIMAL HANDLING AS A FEAT?

>>9845997
Attach!

>>9846060
>Handle Animal +7 (+2 Cha, +5 ranks)

>>9846060
We got Handle Animal ranks when we killed the guy guarding the two horses and the mule we ate.

>>9846048
I like this plan. We have an awesome Jump check and a good climb speed, after all. We should be able to move through the trees like some sort of hyperactive crackmonkey.

Might as well go with the Agile feat.

>>9846060
Guys, kill all but one wolf (if they're regular wolves), and then tame it. We could totally use an awesome wolfy companion.

>>9846103
I sort of doubt pack animals are going to want to play nice with us after we kill and eat its fellows in front of it...

>>9846103
I'm just not up for a wolf companion after missing the awesome weasel opportunity.

>>9846103
While we could probably pass off a weasel companion, walking around the city with a wolf following us around is gonna raise some suspicion.

>>9846116
I think of it as more showing our dominance, and telling that one wolf that we're its new alpha male, and it should now follow us.

>>9846128
Nah, this is a world with druids. Just stick some sticks in our hair and mumble something about trees when questioned, it'll be fine.

>>9846131
too gay, just eat it.

>>9846128
not if we can find a ranger or druid to eat

>Agile feat
AGILE FEAT ACQUIRED. +2 to balance and Escape Artist checks.

You glide into another tree and scurry up to where it was. The howls are coming in more slowly now. You're no woodsman, but you're pretty sure there's more than 3 of them now.

When we do eat the wolves can we learn language wolf and talk to dogs?

>>9846150
oooooooo, time to get trigger happy.

>>9846150
get our crossbow ready and get into a position where we can fire at both the weasel jesus tree and our former hiding spot tree.

Yea... I just don't see the wolf taming working. RIP Weasel Jesus.

>>9846150
We got enough arrows to take out a dozen?

>>9846150
looks like this is definitely a wolf pack

We should totally be able to eat the silver and have silver claws.

:(

protip:

to kill a wolf pack, use traps.

/r/ing a picture of Weasel Jesus, so that I may honor his memory

>>9846173
>>9846183
I know that the DM changes some things but the standard wolf pack size is 7-16 for normals and 5-8 for dire.

The howls get closer, and closer. You start getting a better feel for their number. A dozen? At least. Double that? Certainly possible.

You wait, and aim your crossbow where you expect them to appear.

Any final preparations?

Keep crossbow ready and Spot, Spot, Spot

>>9846232
7 dire wolves would be pretty hilarious.

>>9846250
See if there are any large unsecure branches on the tree we could detach and drop on the wolves.

We don't have to kill the entire pack. We just need to kill two or three and get away with the bodies. We can climb trees, they can't. We can get about five feet above however high they can jump and ready an action to grab it and bash its head in; then we eat it in the tree like a panther.

>>9846250
Wipe some sweat from your brow dramatically as they come in.

Also, does a picture of Weasel Jesus count as giving us the draw bonus?

>>9846269

This

>>9846279
BLASPHEMEY TO OUR DOPPLEGANGER GOD OF SLAUGHER!!!!

>>9846250
tie rope to a bolt, in case we have to reel the wolves in without getting mauled by a huge pack.

it's like harpoon fishing!

>>9846269
I like this plan.

Do we have any matches or something that can make a flame?

>>9846305
rope too big, bolt too small. If you want to do something like that we'd have to try and carve one from a branch.

Too bad we don't have a grappling hook. We could totally go wolf-fishing.

>>9846269
There would be no point in killing the entire pack anyway; wolves can literally give us only a few things. Trip, tracking by scent bonus, Track, Weapon Focus(bite), and... that's about it.

There! A rustling in the bushes. Out pops the first--what. WHAT. That is not a wolf. That is a runt-wolf. That thing is pathetic. A shrimpy excuse for a wolf can't weigh more than 30 pounds sopping wet!

Well, that--well. There are a LOT of these little runt-wolves coming out of the bushes.

>>9846347
Oh man we're going to get gummed to death by wolf-babies

>>9846347
DON"T KILL. I have a feeling these are baby werewolves...i REALLY don't want to piss off their parents

>>9846347
this is odd.

wait a bit. maybe there are bigger ones?

>Also, does a picture of Weasel Jesus count as giving us the draw bonus?
Yes. Is it in MS Paint? There's the MS Paint draw bonus and the other draw bonus.

>See if there are any large unsecure branches on the tree we could detach and drop on the wolves.
There are a few.

>rope too big, bolt too small. If you want to do something like that we'd have to try and carve one from a branch.
Exactly.

>>9846347
start shooting, with which ever one is closest.

>>9846347
Could be a litter. Wait for an adult. If none show, swoop and nom.

>>9846347
LET LOOSE THE BOLTS!

>>9846382
nevermind that, wait for others.

>>9846382
Do not shoot. Wait for it. There's something funny going on.

>wait a bit. maybe there are bigger ones?
Well, a good 40-some of these little buggers have popped out of the bushes, and unless more are coming not a single one could be more than 50 pounds. They don't look like puppies, either.

>>9846408
Alrighty then, shoot some.

>>9846427
might as well grab a few snacks

Bah, if only we had something to make fire, would suggest throwing a bottle of alcohol at them and throwing a flame...get down from tree watch BBQ

Not the pygmy death wolves! Do we want to try Handle Animal from the tree?

>>9846408
this is a severe ripoff.

I mean, what abilities are we going to get? skill focus (swarming)?

>>9846446
Napoleon complex feat?

>>9846446
Well, they should still have Track, a survival bonus for tracking, and quite possibly Weapon Focus(bite) and/or Trip. It's not like we were planning to take size or stats from the wolves anyway.

If we eat too many wolves we'll become a furry.

>>9846482
We only need a couple.

>Alrighty then, shoot some.
>1d20+0=14 Crossbow
>1d20+0=8 Crossbow
>1d20+0=16 Crossbow
>1d8=6 Damage
Huh. That one went down like a chump. Keep shooting? They're starting to figure out where you're at, and wandering over to your tree.

I have a bad feeling about this. Shoot the first one to the tree, take it up with you, and get the fuck outta there.

We'd likely be able to hop down, pick up the corpse, and return to a safe location easy enough.

We couldn't possibly have anything to fear from harmless tiny wolves, keep shooting till several are dead or they run.

It isn't like the DM would trick us or something.

>>9846506
This. Then see if they give chase as we make egress through brachiation.

>>9846534
I concur, take out at least 4 say? Jump down grab wolf, climb tree, eat wolf...repeat

"forgive them DM, they know not what they do"

You leap and glide from tree to tree quick as you can. They stop following you after a short while--they can't keep up to begin with.

Lets get outta dodge before mommy and daddy show up. Once we get out of LOS, take to the trees for a bit at an angle from our original trail so the trail is harder to follow. Alternate tree for the break in scent and ground for the speed for a mile or two.

>LOOK FOR ANOTHER WEASEL

Yeah no kidding. I'm a pretty avid hunter and I found that kind of thing not only unethical beyond all doubt, but really sick too.

>Snake too
Snakes don't leave a ton of scent, easier to find them by flipping rocks.

>Any way to tell if people may be in the area? Or perhaps there's a trade route we can stalk?
You haven't smelled any recent people here. Trade routes aren't going through this area of the forest.

More sniffing around. Is that a boar you caught scent of? Perhaps. Follow it?

>>9847077
Might as well.

Yes, but be careful. Boar are tough to kill.

>>9847077
You're the one that gave us the idea! JUDAS

>>9847077
Awesome, track the boar but keep hidden

Honestly, we could have done the same thing with our child voice crying in the woods, without crucifying Weasus. Lets kill a boar to honor his nonviolence!

>>9847110
I thought the DM was god, who sent ye Weasus down to Earth, so that we may gain from the weird wolves, and cleanse us of our sins

>>9847102
i'm just praying that it isn't Razor Boar

>You're the one that gave us the idea! JUDAS
Then I really shouldn't give you the idea to jump off a bridge or something else so foolish. That sort of thing is what hunters DON'T DO unless they're sick, and I've never hunted with anyone like that. Doesn't mean you won't hear about that kind of thing as a "this guy is messed up" story. Or have players think is a good idea...

This time we don't pick a bitch tree to hide in. Climb up a good one.

>>9847354
>>9847351
these work for me.

>>9847006
Climb tree, continue firing.

>This time we don't pick a bitch tree to hide in. Climb up a good one.
You get up (move action) and you bolt to a non-bitch tree (move action).

The boar charges your ass.
>1d20+6=20
>1d8+3=6 damage
OW. You get slammed around to the other side of the tree.

Action?

>>9847006
Climb tree, reload crossbow.

>>9847429
Are we right next to the bitchless tree? If so, climb it and shoot his ass!

Also, current hp?

Cricket bat the BOAR or stun it somehow, need to get back to chasing down were-bears for dinnner

pray to weasel jesus for strength as you climb.

>Climb tree, reload crossbow.
>Are we right next to the bitchless tree? If so, climb it and shoot his ass!
You climb the tree and spend you standard action mocking the boar. He hits the tree ineffectively. You then reload and shoot his ass.
>1d20+0=20 FUCK YEAH A CRIT
>2d8=7 WELL, STILL A CRIT

>Also, current hp?
16/22

KILLLLL

>>9847510
nice, shoot again for victory. This boar will taste nice.

>>9847510
Keep shooting boar until it no longer moves. Then have a snack.

Damn this quest for making me stay up so late!

>>9847510
Continue to shoot the boar while making rude inquiries about his mother.

>>9847580
postulate vocally as to the legitimacy of his birth!

>>9847510
Don't we have a calm animals scroll? Could we use this to stop the Boar from attempting to rape us or would it not work since we've already shot at it and pissed it off?

The boar looks kind of like a porcu-boar at this point. But it's dead and duly insulted, and though you might have a mild concussion from being in the tree it rammed repeatedly--you should see the tree!

CHOOSE ONE:
25 HP
+6 Natural Armor
+2 BAB
Gore Attack (1d8+4)
Ferocity
Spot 3 ranks
Toughness

This "shoot the boar" thing is kind of a bitch move. We've got some strength; let's use it.
Either that or choose "testicles" the next time we get the option.

>Don't we have a calm animals scroll? Could we use this to stop the Boar from attempting to rape us or would it not work since we've already shot at it and pissed it off?
You need either Use Magic Device or spellcasting levels to use it. Also, the latter option you presented.

>>9847660
I'd say more HP or Toughness

>>9847660
Toughness would GIVE us 25 HP at this point.

>>9847660
Extra HP is always good. We've been cutting it close a bunch lately.

Ferocity (Ex)

A boar is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.

>>9847662
+ 6 AC would be nice, but would the tough hide be really noticeable? That or Ferocity.

>>9847660
Don't we already have toughness?

either the armor or ferocity

Ferocity lets us fight at negative HP, effectively giving us +10 HP to use.

I say Ferocity.

>>9847711
No, also you can have Toughness as many times as you want.

Oh, definitely Ferocity then.

>>9847708
25hp mor healTH

cancel what I said, I didn't know what boar ferocity did

I'd say go with the additional armor

>>9847660
Ferocity. It's not a common trait, we might as well pick it up when we get the chance.

Ferocity. We would be a mean bastard.

>Ferocity (Ex): A boar is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.

>>9847759
I agree. We need to be more Ferocious

But how will it change our appearance?

I vote toughness because it grows. unlike the direct 25 hp option

ferocity
THE MOB HAS SPOKEN

Ferocity it up

ferocity, it will add basically 10 hp and is kinda rare

FEROCITY OBTAINED. YOU ARE NOW WHAT WE CALL A "HARDCORE MOTHERFUCKER." That feeling of when you should quit just goes right the fuck away--you're too badass to quit, I mean, who does that shit? You feel a little more fierce, and more mean to boot. Your bottom canines get a bit bigger, and your hair gets slightly less silky smooth.

Action? DM is getting more vodka and then some sleep shortly.

I say we sniff for one more meal before packing it in.

Maybe start turning over some rocks or looking in cubby holes for snakes and such...

>>9847816
Turn over some rocks, find snakes, take powers.

Especially poison bite if we can, our bite is already one of our best weapons; boosting it more would be delicious.

That's a good enough haul for one foray, I say we set off back to town.

Hunt down that goddamn Werebear and beat his wooly head in with the butt of the Dwarven Axe.
Like a boss.

>>9847816
run/climb/glide around flipping rocks, keeping an eye out for birds, and keeping your nose open for scents and eyes open for tracks, try to get every last bit of juice out of the forest possible!

>>9847858
Eh, we could go for snakes instead, I suppose. Since it's winding down.
(Hope for something nonpoisonous)

>>9847816
You done good DM. Get some sleep.

>>9847858
We don't have it with us remember? No proficiency.

>>9847816
ALRIGHT now that we're FEROCIOUS, we needs to get back to finding that bear; by the way what time of day is it?

>>9847879
Then why are we using the crossbow...?
Did we get a proficiency in that? I must have missed it. I had kinda given up on DD returning until I saw this thread.
Anyways
Lets grab a snake and call it a day as we stalk the werebear.

Hell, if we're riding this to 404, might as well get some more hunting out of the deal

I'd still like to try eating an earthworm for tremorsense...

>by the way what time of day is it?
Mid-dusk. HP: 17/22

>Maybe start turning over some rocks or looking in cubby holes for snakes and such...
You start flipping rocks on your way back. Nothing, nothing, nothing, OHSHITTHAT'SABIGSNAKE--
>1d20+4=24 bite
>1d4-1=1 damage
>1d20+6=10 Fort save vs Poison
>Poison DC=11
>Initial Con Damage 1d6=5

>You done good DM. Get some sleep.
Thanks. Will be soon.

>Then why are we using the crossbow...? Did we get a proficiency in that? I must have missed it.
I assume you use it because it's too useful, even without proficiency.

>I had kinda given up on DD returning until I saw this thread.
I'm not going to up and leave like that. I was sick in a bad way and couldn't DM for a week, but I hate how people just leave good quests to die, without resolution or even a warning, far too much to do the same. I'll either try and hand it off, or provide resolution, before I'd let it just fade away.

On that note Terminator Quest is going to have a hopeful continuing on Monday.
