Persona Quest, True Reincarnation Mode>Threads: http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive.html?tags=Persona%20Quest%20Golden>Thread 24 (Lost to pruning)http://archive.foolz.us/tg/thread/28536030/#28536030>Twitter: https://twitter.com/P4GoldenOP>Character Sheet: http://pastebin.com/txQXezA5>Rolls and Persona QuestWhen I call for a roll, I'll select the highest of the first three rolls made in response to the post calling for it. Natural 1's and natural 20's within the first five rolls count as critical failures or successes, and override the first three roll rule. Natural 1's and 20's negate each other. Only rolls linked to the post asking for them count, unless they are acting as corrections to misrolls that are linked to the proper post.
>Interlude: The Hanged Man"Mahaques." You say, crushing the blue card in your hand, keeping your load steady with your other arm... You can feel the... Being form behind you, swinging its spear and sending forth a wave of water to annihilate the monsters you staggered into while trying to move again. ...How long has it even been since you came into this place? Hours? Days? Weeks?...It's all blurred together, you realize as you take a step forwards....You managed to find your way to another 'safe' looking building in this twisted version of your hometown...Setting her down on a twisted looking couch, you check her for injuries again... Whatever that mockery of her did, she's been out since then... She's fine, aside from the unconsciousness. A glance around the room you're hiding in shows that it's fairly barren... The couch she's on, a few battered looking small tables, and a broken desk are all that's in it. ....A few hours pass as you get some sleep.Everything in the room seems fine, but... The crunching noise you hear from outside can't be good. And when you look out the window, you feel dread form in your gut. A huge one of those THINGS is trying to pull its leg out of some... Black sludge, going off balance in it. The huge monster is trying to run from whatever's in the sludge, but... Unsuccessfully. Within a minute, the b-martial-arts movie escapee is completely subsumed, and you can see the sludge shrink back into the 'hole' is sprang from, pulling its victim with it and sealing shut....Time to move again. Quickly. And carefully. >Interlude, end
>CurrentlyYou arrived at the Dojima residence about half an hour ago, bringing Minako with you to have dinner. After telling Nanako that there'd be an extra person for dinner, you set to work on a meal, and have most of it going as you listen in on the conversation, that seems to be going towards a kids' show called "Magical Detective Loveline"... You shrug and continue cooking......After about fifteen minutes, Dojima arrived and took a seat in the living room, looking somewhat tired, but giving you a curious look. As you set the food on the small table in the living room, you can see that it's obviously good smelling. ....Dinner is eaten in relative peace, with idle conversations about work and school being the subjects.......You glance over your shoulder as you take a seat at the table, across from Dojima and next to Minako. Nanako's watching some TV show happily, and doesn't seem to be paying attention to you. "So, Narukami, you mentioned something I should talk to Dojima about. What was it?" Minako asks, catching your attention. >Write in
WHERE'VE YOU BEEN?!
>>29412580In a slump. Running a different Quest to get over it. Dealing with dental issues. Take your pick.
>>29412580he was on the tv world dood!>>29412608hope you are better
>>29412489So... What WAS it? I don't remember at all
>>29412639>Something about Kubo and investigating him with the others who are in on Persona-ing, I believe.
>>29412660We didn't go over that previously? I thought everyone in our group knows Mitsuo is suspect
>>29412689>More about the "How to", I think. From the archive, it seems that you wanted to get Funky to text either you or Dojima if anyone saw Kubo moving around.
>>29412723Oh, discuss "How should we track observe Kubo"? Okay then, let's discuss thatAlso am I da only one here?
>>29412762I'm still here dood!but I have no idea how to start this
>Ideas on tracking KuboYou double check on Nanako,making sure she's not paying attention, before lowering your voice. "Well... I think I may be able to start keeping an eye on our biggest suspect." You say, shrugging. "Turns out that there's a few people at my school who are in on a rumor mill, so..."Both Dojima and Minako nod. "Yeah, those are have been scarily accurate, in my experience." Minako says, as Dojima rubs his chin. "I was thinking I'd ask one of them t keep an ear out for any news on Kubo, and go check on him with a couple of the others who can use Persona in our world." You continue. "That way, we can see if he's 'in' on the whole Shadow and TV World thing.""Yu..." Dojima pauses for a moment, then sighs. "Alright, fine. Just be careful.">What were you about to say?>I will>Write in
>>29413185>What were you about to say?
>>29413185>What were you about to say?I'm curious!
>What were you about to say?You look at Dojima curiously, and he sighs again."I was going to point out how, if he's the person who summoned the JOKER a few weeks ago, he's already tried to kill you once." He says, looking at you tiredly. "But you already know that, and think you can take him, don't you?"...You nod at that. "Yeah. Since that night, I feel like I've gotten a lot stronger. I should be able to take the JOKER on alone, and even if I couldn't, I have a few friends who can help, too." You say, cracking your knuckles briefly. "It should be no problem."...You can feel Minako looking at you oddly as Dojima stands up. "Well if you've set your mind to it, I suppose I can't actually stop you. Just... be careful. I really don't want to have to explain this to Aoi." He says, shaking his head and heading to the living room.>Write in
>>29413450"don't worry Uncle I'll be careful"then talk with Minako
>>29413450ask Minako if she wants Yu to walk her home or if she's planning on staying the night jokingly
>>29413532good idea!
>Just about escorting her home, or anything specific?
>>29413687also how was the food. we're proud of our cooking after all
>>29413687Say we were just kidding about fighting JOKER alone, not unless we have to. We aren't commiting suicide by hubris.
>>29413869sounds like something we should probably bring up. we dont want her to think we're too confident for our own good
did GoldenOP really leave the thread like this?I know that the are not that many people but he could at lest tell us that he is pausing for a bit
>>29417238It's almost as if it's your first time here
>>29417321I know that but he at lest used to say that he was out and ask us to keep the thread alive until he returnedalso good field name
>>29417433He up and vanishes all the damn time too
>>29417238I did not, intentionally. Seems I was tired and needed to sleep, and my body was enforcing that on me.>Hurrying to finish writing
>>29419202welcomo back dood!
>Talk"You're sure about that?" Minako asks, glancing at you. "I've fought things that improve every once in a while, myself, and you never know...."You shrug. "I wasn't planning on fighting it alone, anyway." You say, shaking your head. "Just saying that, as I am now, I could take the one we fought weeks ago. Hell, I don't even plan on fighting it."She nods. "Yeah, with the sort of stuff we're dealing with, it's best to minimize risks. No sense biting off more than you can chew when it could lead to an early grave."There's a pause for a moment."Sorry, but this is getting too morbid for my tastes." You say, shaking your head. "How was dinner?""Really good, actually." Minako smiles, and nods. "I keep being surprised at that, honestly. You don't really strike me as the cooking sort."You shrug. "It seems to come naturally to me." You say, glancing back to the living room. Dojima is sitting on the couch, either half-asleep or watching whatever it is Nanako's watching... "Every time I start on something, it just seems to come together, you know?""Yeah, I've had that experience with a few things myself." She nods again. ...>Talk some more? [Write in]>Offer to take her home
>>29420364>Offer to take her home
>>29420364>>Talk some more? [Write in]Don't think anyone's been to our room yet? Bring her up abit, show off our needlework. Maybe she knows some of it and can give some pointers.
>>29420364>Offer to take her home>>29420520it might be a bit early for bringing her to our room Puchi
>>29420364I've forgotten nearly everything about Persona Quest. There's just so many mysteries happening at the same time that I feel like I need the case tab in Professor Layton.>>29420364learn Persona summoning from her
>>29420520invite her to our room sounds cool
>>29420727Nothing untoward though, just to come up for abit, look around.
>>29421616That would be up to her wouldn't it
>>29421690what
>>29421755if she wanted to do something inappropriate that's her choice.
>>29422141oh. still way too early for that
>>29422141>Are you getting that "I feel our relationship will grow a lot closer" vibe from our social link?>Not really->Do you want it to?>Yuu and Minako spend the night sewing.
>>29422329make it happen Golden
>>29422329roll for success>critfail: nothing happens>fail: fall for Minako>success: Minako falls for Yuu, finish Nanako's present>crit: all of the above, plusPersonas can now wear stuff you make!
>>29422657I'd be happy just finishing Nanako's present
And here I thought you dropped this quest.Nice to see it back
>Offer to take her homeAs you mull over asking her to look over your work in your room, you have a gut feeling Dojima wouldn't take that very well. Better than if it was just the two of you, but... Still not that well"Want me to walk you home again?" You ask after a minute, glancing over at Minako."I mean, when you're wanting to head back."She seems to think for a minute, then nods. "Yeah, that'd be nice."She says. ...The two of you spend some time talking about various things, then get ready to head out. ...As you near the shopping district, Minako seems to be thinking about something..."So." She finally says. "Did you want to talk about something?">Write in
>>29423774I dunno, I forgot. Brainfarts 'n shit
>>29423774"Not really"I don't think there is anything to talk about, is there?
>>29423774Does she want to talk about anything?
>>29423774"Honestly, no. I just thought you could use a break with all thats been happening.Why, whats on your mind?"
>>29423774>you know...I've only seen you use jack frost, what happened to your first persona?
>So "Nothing, really"?
>>29424556Nothing really, then ask her if she has anything she'd like to talk about.
>>29424556sounds good. maybe add in that we just wanted to enjoy her company. ask if theres anything she wants to talk about
>>29423774>What's your favorite color and Gundam show?
>>29424936We should make her something too, after we finish Nanakos gift we can make her a scarf or something
>>29424964Eh. Not unless we have a real reason. Otherwise we'd just be weird.
>>29423774>So....S or M?Ask that while glancing away.
>Hey, uh. Could I get a d20, please?

Rolled 9>>29425343
Rolled 6>>29425343
Rolled 14>>29425343Can we use Fortune 1 to add 7?
Rolled 8>>29425343Why am I so great
>>29425455>Yes, you can
Rolled 11>>29425471I'm fine with adding that
Rolled 6, 1, 17, 13 = 37>>29425471>Also, an unrelated person's roll.
Rolled 9>>29425471add it? why not.
>Fortune 1 used. Result is 15.
Rolled 1>>29425591Wait, is this not a social roll?Wouldn't it be 22 on the 15?
>>29425621>This...>Is Perception.
>>29425591Wait, you added 7 to what roll? Shouldn't it be at least 16?
Rolled 12>>29425681>>29425621Wouldnt it be 16 or 21?>>29425455>>29425432
>>29425875>...Wow, I'm an idiot. Sorry about that. >Yeah, the check result should be 16.
>>29425951Does it even make a difference
>Nothing, really"No, not really. I mostly figured I'd keep you company on the walk back." You say, getting a somewhat surprised look from her. "Though... I suppose if you had anything to talk about, I wouldn't mind."Minako shrugs as you continue through the shopping district. "Not really, either. We covered the stuff you wanted to talk about already, right?" She asks, before continuing. "Not much else to really say, unless you want to just to talk."...The two of you continue in relative silence, ignoring the clattering of something in the alley behind Aiya. Probably some animal getting into a trash can, or something."So, favorite Gundam series?" You ask, glancing over to Minako as you pass the gate to the shrine. "G, I guess?" She shrugs. "I really prefer Macross to Gundam, though.">Write in
>>29426136>So, do you live alone now? Plan to go to college?
>>29426136>"That's nice, but that clattering sounded really important since I was just rolling Perception."The go check it out
>>29426232Bit meta. Would you go out of your way to check up on some alley cat when you're out with a girl? No.>>29426136>S or M?If she doesnt react well:>...By that, I mean do you think Saimei or Mommu did a better job as Emperor?
>>29426288>S or M?Nah
>>29426136>she like G Gundamthats awesone!but i'll go with wath this anon said>>29426223 and talk about the future>>29426232anon the fourth wall! you re going to break it!
>>29426288>Bit meta. Would you go out of your way to check up on some alley cat when you're out with a girl? No.It's very meta, so I guess I'll just play stupid>>29426136>"So, what's your opinion on awkward silences?"
>>29426136>Are you really the rare, highly sought-after otaku girl who isn't an obese, ugly fujoshi or are you just working there as a cover?
>>29412261>...How long has it even been since you came into this place? Hours? Days? Weeks?Who is the woman that died first?
>>29426431I don't think there was any. Mayumi went missing but she didn't dieUnless my memory shitted on me and diedAlso I heard Namatame's arcana is Hanged man in this quest
>>29426345This
>>29426431>See>>29426522>Who DID you think got that natural 20 in a three die pool in the second thread? Someone who wasn't being somewhat self-sacrificing?>So, >>29426345?
>>29426697Personally, I'd rather ask about her plans for the future
>>29426738Can do both. Its not like she lives down the block
>>29426796That question just seems filled with desperation.I mean, maybe if you phrase it another way but still
>>29426822Can be phrased better, but it is true when you think about the typical image of an otaku.
>>29426697I support >>29426223 since there wasn't anything better
>>29426899It is, but it's not something you just come out and say like that.But if you guys want to do it then whatever. As long as you can do it in a more tasteful way
>>29426697I'm with>>29426738>>29426937
I'm for both and OP writing
>Future?"So, are you planning to go to college?" You ask, getting a shrug from Minako as you continue on. "Maybe, maybe not." She says. "I mean, I've already got a government job of killing Shadows when they pop up."...That's right. She's working for the Security Department, and is here on a 'vacation'."Then again, I might need something to fall back on if we wind up getting disbanded like the last group did." Minako continues. "So it's all up in the air.""What about you? College plans, or anything?""Probably. Dad wanted me to go into something like programming, but after I, uh..." You start, stretching for the right word for it... "I guess 'messed up' that program he tried to get me started with, he gave up."She nods at that. "So, no real goal, then?" Minako asks as the two of you turn a corner. Looks like you're almost to her place...>Write in
>>29427666>I can cook, clean and sew.Shrug>Maybe I"ll become a house-husband.Wait..OP, doesnt Yu have a disturbing gap of memory? I just remembered that
>>29427786>One hour is missing, the day he was saying goodbyes as he was getting ready to go to Inaba. >Of course, it could just be tiredness....
OP, is casually dating/getting together with a girl from the Investigation Team out of the question? Do we need a high SL to do it?
>>29427666Well, I'm glad you enjoyed dinner, you should come over again sometime alright?Have a nice night, be sure not to work yourself sick again.
>>29427666>"I guess 'messed up' that program he tried to get me started with, he gave up.">>29427786>doesnt Yu have a disturbing gap of memory?I get it! Yu accidentaly summoned demons that went on a killing spree, then he either got selective amnesia due to trauma, or got memory-wiped, then sent to Inaba till it all calms downMaybe>>29427666>"Well maybe I could join you guys. Looks like something I'd be good at. Or marry into money and become a house-husband."
>>29427666"Well, I like cooking. Maybe I'll do something with that?">666>So we meet again, Satan.
>>29427666>My dream is to gain lifetime employment as a Salaryman in a dead-end position until, when I'm old enough, they harass me so I"ll quit.
>>29427891voting this
>House-husband, Shadow Ops?"Well, my skillset basically sets me up to be an ideal house-husband..." You start, grinning. "Maybe I'll marry into money and start wearing a frilly apron to cook."Minako pauses, seemingly forming a mental picture, before starting to chuckle."Or I might see if your boss is hiring still, since your line of work seems right up my alley....There's muffled chuckling for a few moments as you continue on, before Minako speaks again."Yeah, she'd probably love to have you. You're a good enough leader and have a way with people she lacks. " She says, glancing over to you again. "Not to mention having the Wild Card and access to the Velvet Room."There's a pause."In fact, if she tried your cooking..." Minako seems to mutter, shaking her head....Looks like you've made it to her apartment building. Saying goodbye, you start back towards the Dojima residence...>Long way>Through the shopping district>Short way
>Alright, it's getting late and I'm getting tired. >I'm gonna go crash, and continue this when I wake up. >In the meantime, decide which route to take, and give me a d20 roll, please.

>Ohai thar. Sorry about not coming back until now- a trip promising food turned into a monster of a shopping trip, requiring heavy lifting. >Writing
>Long wayYou crack your neck and set off towards home, taking the long way around the shopping district....The road is mostly quiet as you walk through one of the neighborhoods on the way home. Most of the houses you pass seem to still have people awake in them, though at least a couple are dark and quiet. ...Reaching the street you usually walk past on the way to the shopping district, you pause. You swear you could have heard a loud 'crack' noise coming from that way...>Continue home?

>InvestigateYou shrug, making your way back to the shopping district carefully. As you look around the corner across from the gas station, you see a humanoid shape running towards you, a stick of some kind in its right hand, looking back and obviously in a rush. >What do you do?
>>29443493Bump into him. Like we didnt get out of the way fast enough.We'll get a look at his face and stall him if hes running away from a crime scene or something. And if hes/shes just caught up in shit, we can deal with it.
>>29444010Anyone have any reason we shouldn't go with this plan?
Shit man. Does anyone have a link to the Persona 4 translation with Larry and Brotag in it?
>Bump into himYou step out from around the corner, forcing an expression of shock onto your face as the running man slams into you and forces you both into a stumble. "Gah!" He says. Now that you have a better look at him... It's Adachi, and he's panicked. "Kid, get outta here!" He says, glancing back, obviously scared. "There's something nasty behind me!""Adachi? What is it?" You ask, looking down the road as he seems to . "Just run! I'm trying to get it away from here!" He grabs you and pulls, as you can see something further down the road starting to ooze towards you. >What do you do?
Sorry about vanishing. Several things popped up, and I've been feeling kinda distracted most of the day, on top of that...Still.I'm pretty much ready to run right now.
>>29449368Good to have you back.>>29449318Start running along with him."What the hell is that?!" Play along for a minute. If it starts to go south or we get cornered, we can summon Izanagi.
>>29449318As we run, PERSONA.Buff both of us, then electrocute to stun it as we run away.
>>29449368Does Yukiko know Marin Karin yet?
>>29427666>Programming>Demon Summoning ProgramSHIT. OUR FATHER IS PREPARING US FOR THE APOCOLYPSE IF IT HAPPENS!!!

>Run!You nod, joining Adachi in his fleeing"What the hell is it?" You ask, as you run past a stop sign as you hear whatever's behind you picking up steam.Quietly, you summon Izanagi and enhance your own body. "I don't know!" Adachi is clearly disturbed- whatever it was has shaken him, big time. "I was on my way home when this slime-thing attacked me from an alley." He continues, as the two of you slow down on a relatively-house-free part of the road. "I figured I'd, y'know, hit it but the stick broke."He pants, looking back."I think we're far enough away, and it's catching up. Keep running, and I'll try and fight it." He says after a pause. >What do you do?
Rolled 7>>29453805"Like hell, I'm leaving you behind.Don't you have a gun? Can't you use it?"I suppose we don't have our sword? Find something suitable like a pipe to make do.
>>29453805"Wait a sec." Cast Rakuja on Adachi, look for an improvised weapon and/or speed dial our dad.
>>29453903Oops. Meant uncle.After this (after school) I think we:1. See Igor about trying to get the others to summon their Personae in the real world.2. With or without them, we go demon-hunting.

>>29453994Electricity and speed dial our uncle, then. As we talk, look for a weapon.
Rolled 19>>29454033Lets hide our persona for abit longer. I want to see if Adachi has any cards up his sleeve before we draw ours.
>Nope.>Speeddial, look for weaponYou shake your head and take out your phone as you look around. "Sorry." You say, catching sight of a suitable stick and hurrying over to it. "But I'm gonna stick with you. Maybe I can help take whatever this is down."Adachi just sighs and pats his side, obviously looking for something."Well, I got that 'hero' vibe from you when we met. Who're you calling?" He asks, shaking his head in disappointment. "Uncle Ryo. He should be able to come help us, or get us some information, or something." You reply, hefting your new branch and feeling its weight as the phone rings."Dojima here." You hear after a second. "What is it, Yu?">Trouble>Supernatural stuff>Write in
Rolled 10, 3, 13, 14, 8 = 48>Also, making you a pair unrelated rolls.

>Adachi can explain"I honestly don't know, but Adachi was running from something in the shopping district, and dragged me along. He can explain more." You say, verbally shrugging. "Something supernatural, I think. We're at that patch of trees on the way to the shopping district."You turn to Adachi and hold out the phone, getting a surprised expression from him as you hear Dojima... Not quite yelling, but certainly having a raised voice, through the earpiece."W-wait! Does he actually believe that?!" He asks. Looks like he doubts Dojima knows anything about what's going on.You nod, and he takes the phone."Uh... Hey? Listen, you aren't gonna believe this, but there's some sort of slime-monster running around." He says. Sounds like Dojima hasn't calmed down yet, either."No, I was walking home from getting some food there.""I told him! He just said 'Maybe I can help take whatever this is down'. and-""Alright, alright, I'll keep an eye on him. See you when you get here." Adachi clicks your phone shut, and hands it back to you. "He's hurrying out. I'm supposed to keep an eye on you.">Perception 20!...You can feel something nearby. It's not human, and it- The shape reappears down the road, still lurching forwards. >What do you do?
>>29460554Wait and prepare for counteractions
>>29460554Well, it's hostile, right? So maybe we should try throwing magic at it.

>MagicYou pause,glancing over to Adachi. ...Since he's already seen whatever this is, he should be fine with magic happening, you suppose....You crush the tarot card, summoning Izanagi behind you and charging a ball of electricity to throw at whatever approaches. Adachi looks up in surprise- evidently, he can see the ball of lightning forming above your head, and-"Wh-what is that?!" He yells. "How is there-""It's a Stand. I'll explain later." You say, finally gesturing to launch it at the approaching thing.>17!...It hits, and you can see the current running through whatever it is that's approaching, while also illuminating it-It looks like someone took a large canine skeleton, and poured some blue goo over it, then animated it. Slime drips off it as it moves closer, and you can see an evil glow in its eyes as it roars at you....!You can feel energy being drained from you, and whatever this is looks a bit healthier!>What do you do?

>BURN ITYou shift mental gears, bringing Hotei to the front, and form a sphere of fire as Adachi watches on in awe. The slime seems to pause as it catches sight of the flame, before rushing closer to you.>20!It hits solidly, engulfing the beast in flames and causing it to let out a loud roar as you turn around with a grin on your face. "H-how?" Adachi asks, looking at you, then back at the smoldering flame behind you. "I couldn't even dent that thing! And you just set it on fire!""Want to wait for my uncle for that explanation?"He nods, and the two of you start to relax as the flames are still burning behind you.

Do you think the police/govt would be able to BS an excuse for us to skip school? It seems neglecting the demon thing is a bad idea.Either way, we should go to Igor (the expert) to get the others sorted, so they can summon their Personae.
>>2946289819 is good, go with that
>Dodge! 19! No! Something isn't right, you realize, and MOVE as you can feel something flying towards you. Adachi seems to notice it too, and the ball of fire, larger than the one you launched, barely singes you before hitting the road. A glance back shows the slime-like creature to have changed, patches of fur appearing over its slime and bones, and a long, boney tail now writhing in the air behind it. Steam is seeping from its now more menacing looking mouth, and its eyes glow brighter. >Write in

You say, a blast of cold flying from Jack Frost.>18!It slams into the slime-dog-beast, causing it to let out a roar of pain as it starts to steam. It lunges forwards, and you can see some sort of green energy fly from its mouth towards you- you aren't sure what it is, but it can't be good.>Dodge >Parry>Counter>Write in>Roll me 1d20, regardless of your choice

I'll be there to help in a minute!"]"Past the shopping district from you." You reply, glancing around and stepping back to avoid another of those green energy shots. The thing roars again, and you have a gut feeling something is going to happen that you won't like- the smoke coming from its maw isn't helping that feeling.>Dodge>Counter>Parry>Write in>Regardless of choice, please roll 1d20
Sorry about vanishing. Got an offer to go get food that, once again, turned into a several hour wandering. I swear, I have to learn to not fall for that...

You yell, running forwards and catching his attentionSlamming your branch into the thing, you step aside as Adachi nods and charges forwards, elbowing it in the snout.After about ten seconds of the two of you wailing on it, the thing has seemed to recovered, and it glares at you. Seems that your attacks left something of a mark as you can see a patch of its fur start to stiffen and aim at you- there's no way you can block stuff like that, is there?>Dodge>Write in

Adachi pulls himself out from behind the bush he took cover with."I-is it dead?" He asks, glancing at the scorch marks on the road, then at the 'body'. >Write in

Rolled 17>>29477083Do it
Rolled 7>>29477661thanks for running Golden OP
Just finished archive binging. I have no fucking idea what's going on in this quest, at all. It is awesome and thanks for writing it.
Rolled 10>>29483267Most of us are still winging it.Welcome, friend.
>>29483460What's up with visiting the shrine so often? I was skipping to story posts and missed the reasoning.
Rolled 2>>29483578To encounter the fox that lives at the shrine.It's an NPC that lives there and follow yuu into the TV world when the social link is initialised. It provides healing services though exactly what it might do here is still up in the air.
>>29483692That's awfully meta. Did I miss an in-character reason to do this somewhere?
>>29483811I think there was something a bit less-than-concrete that motivated us to go there, but when nothing we remember is liable to have happened, concrete reasoning is extraneous.
>>29483267Right now?This thing was a slime, but seems to have aspects of some sort of other demon. From OP's focus on "Canine" and fire.... I'd guess Cerberus, or somethingSo.... Someone fucked up a summoning and it went wild.
Rolled 18>>29483811Nothing other than noticing eyes watching us when we went to the shrine the first time. Could be written as wanting to find out what it was.
>not using all your Fortune uses every theadStep it up.
>>29484840It's one of those "too awesome to use" thingsSometimes we just think "nah, we can still save it", and it keeps going untill the end of the thread, since no one can really predict how many rolls do we still have left untill it
Rolled 8>>29484840We used Fortune 2 and we didn't get a 1 to require the use of Fortune 1.
>>29485253Fortune 1 is straight up add 7. It's useful for way more than negating critfails. Fortune 2 can also produce critical successes when used on a 19.And if I'm understanding Fortune 2.5 right, negating the first 1 every set means we should almost never critfail anyway.
>>29485323I still fail to comprehend the difference between F1 and F2, aside from F1 apparently being unable to negate critfail or produce critwins
>>29485398F1: declare before the roll, +7F2: after the roll, +/-1So, spend F1 on important rolls, such as cooking or bluff checks.
>>29485590Well that's the thingWe always use F1 after the roll, when we see that they suckSo where's the difference
>>29485590>F1: declare before the roll, +7No, its before/after.Like what we did in: >>29425455>>29425471
>>29485630>Fortune, Rank 1: Your luck knows no bounds. Once per thread, you may add +7 to one roll, before the result is declared.>before the result is declaredgolden sucks at following his own rules, then
>>29485674>Before the result is declared. Basically before he writes and posts what the roll causes in the next storyline post.Because if say we were facing a high DC, a 15 might not be good enough and we might assume it would be and thus not use Fortune 1; since after all, the DC of the roll is invisible to us.
>>29485674>before the result is declaredThat's kinda impossibleWe know the roll pool, so we already see the result as soon as four-five rolls arrive, which is nearly instantly
>>29485711>>29485708Friend of Gold's here. He asked me to post this for him because he can't load captcha"Puchi has it right. Even WITH a full pool, you don't know if you've succeeded or failed."He says he's gonna adjust the wording.
>>29486336Okay thenIn this case, when we know the result, we can use F2. Even if he's willing to rewrite the last post because of that (which is pretty doubtful), we still don't know whether just one point up is enough to succeed, which kinda makes it pointless. Not to mention that when post describing our failure is already made everyone is occupied with planning the next move instead of debating whether or not redo the last one.Unless we die. But ability to negate that would be too high ranked, I thinkWe only use F2 in the same way as F1 anyway
>>29486492but we've always used fortune 2 as our emergency crit negate.I see no reason to change that.
>>29486530So, can we or can we not use F1 for negating 1s?By the way, why would we need to decrease a roll result by 1? Just curious
Bump it
>>29486603I dont get the confusion. We've always used Fortune 1 to add 7 before/after the roll, which doesn't create or negate crits. Fortune 2 & 2.5 to negate critfails.
