New guy joining, might ask to use standard array or point buy if this goes poorly...

>>5584053
What level do I start at?

>>5584128
We are at level 2, so you probably start off there unless the QM decides you have to start at lower level.

>>5584143
What does the party need? I'm used to playing classes like Rogue and Warlock.

>>5584149
I'm a paladin, Kinny is a rogue, we have literally 4 spare NPC thieves in our party, and Maggie is an overstatted level 1 human sorcerer, though she doesn't seem to know how to use magic yet.

I think we either need a dedicated healer, so a cleric, or a druid if you want a balance between offensive and healing potential. We nearly died in the last fight despite our massive damage potential with Kinny's overpowered lightning daggers and my divine smite because of our low total HP and the boss having burst damage. Otherwise our AC is pretty good. In general we could use more spell caster since Maggie does seem to know spells and I'm not the best for that as a paladin.

However I say just play what you want, the QM and us will adapt accordingly. I will note that there is some unique potential if you play a racoon. As the only animal with human-like hands it is the only creature that can utilize guns or dual wield, all of us are stuck with holding our weapons in our mouths. I mention the racoon and guns because we recently heard of a gun shop and were planning on stopping by sometime to loot the place for guns, which is a unique capability that most of us don't possess.

But, yeah, just play what you want.

>>5584156
*since Maggie doesn't seem to know spells

Correction.

>>5584156
I'll do a Raccoon Warlock. Hopefully me not being a healer isn't too shit.

>>5584162
Sure.

A dog (sub species has to be picked too) would probably be better for warlock because of the charisma and because going for the guns may not be great if the racoon or human that wields them isn't a martial class that eventually gets multiple attacks. But a racoon warlock could still be good, we'd get the benefits of someone with actual real hands and an actual spellcaster.

By the way, what's your timezone, if you don't mind me asking? We run on Tuesdays starting around 7ish AM my time (PST) though I usually am not available until 2 or 3 hours later, the QMs timezone is CST, I think, so 2 hours ahead of me and Kinny is 9 hours ahead of my timezone, I think.

>>5584176
I'm one hour ahead of you.

Finished building character. Will work tomorrow with DM on actual RP elements and backstory. May also be late.

I think this should be good. Transferred it from Sheets to a pdf. Will make tweaks tomm. Probably will have a 2 hour delay.

>>5584227
Okay, see you then. I will say that most of the worldbuilding has actually been done by Kinny and I in regards to our own species and language, beliefs, and stuff. The QM mostly focuses on the individual towns, the three main factions mentioned at the top, the backstory involving the Old Ones (humans) and the main plot. So a lot of the actual RP stuff will probably be up to you to decide, rather than you conforming to setting elements that have already been laid out.

The basics are that we are seemingly in the former United States - though you wouldn't know that - a 100 years after the disappearance of the 'Old Ones' and the rise of the Awakened animals. In character the party knows that it is probably 2155, but most animals wouldn't know that, as it was knowledge we acquired during the previous thread. There are the 3 factions mentioned at the top which are the preeminent factions that coerce everyone else, but there are a number of smaller independent towns and factions as well it seems. The main plot revolves around Maggie, the human we abducted and befriended during a heist in the first thread, and also the Xenarus corporation that created Liquid Nihm, a substance that created the Awakened and wiped out all humans, though most animals including you would know nothing about that.

Aside from that there is backstory stuff about the humans getting advanced technology from aliens called 'Draconians' before the aliens started eating humans and doing horrible shit, Mog through misinterpreting this information and engaging in conspiracy brainrot with Kinny has come to the conclusion that 'Draconians' are actually Lizard Elders or Dragons and are actually the demons from the mythological cosmology of Mog's religion, though again you wouldn't know that in character.

Most weapon technology is medieval but augmented with technology, it is too early to tell but it seems we can get the equivalent of magic weapons just by having weapons made of higher quality metals or by electrifying weapon, just as some examples. Real actually magic weapons may or may not exist. Magic spells and shit also exist, a random street vendor was selling magic healing potions, I can cast spells, robots can also cast spells, humans seem to understand magic as well, presumably from interacting with the Draconians. Otherwise the technology is kinda-sorta a post-apocalyptic modern, so we have cars and stuff but the infrastructure is so decayed and the political factions so anarchic, fragmented and decentralized that we have yet to encounter any indication that the majority of society lives like a modern person would rather than a pre-modern society. No mention of factories or the internet, most animals don't seem to worship modern IRL religions, etc.

So, yeah, there's your basic primer of the setting from what I can remember.

>>5584273
lmao, you'll fit right in, practically the entire party - NPCs included - are specialized in dex/charisma. The only exception is me, I'm STR/CHA instead.

You can also pick a feat as well, but we are only using the main 5E player handbook for class/feat stuff and there's no multi-classing, just as a heads up.

>You all soon start looting the bank vault.
>Gathering all the money you need.
>Not that paper stuff though, it's useless.
>Just the copper, silver, and gold.
>Along with the other various jewels you find.
>Meanwhile Maggie was just busy just trying to regulate her volume and hearing after that Thunderwave they all took.
"I'm not sure if you can hear me Mog... but I'm going to get the rest of the humans so they can recieve a proper burial."
>She soon walks off to gather more bodies.
>Meanwhile Mog was busy just scrapping the robot they just fought.
>Soon then Bobby joined in to loot the room.

My Patron is an Old One, specifically a Great Old one. Before I go interact with them I want to try to quickly decipher these texts to see if they're useful.

>>5584494
Slowly the battered old wolf uncovered his poor ears, just barely mustering up the will to risk his damaged hearing and brave Maggie's warbling voice. He glanced at the vault, then turned to the cats and still shouting human to give his excuses on why he should no longer be in the presence of the gang of deranged deafs.

"Hey, Kinny, Bobby, I'm gonna go back up top real quick to tell Jenkins and the others what happened and reassure them that we are alright so they don't freak out and skip town on us. The hellbot tearing up the street probably scared them all half to death. I'll be back in a few minutes to help with the gold since I know you probably can't lift it all." Mog said, starting off strong before trailing off into a mutter as he turned to head above ground.

>I head above ground to wrangle up Bobby's cowardly subordinates and Jenkins and reassure them we are alright.

>>5584494
I forgot to ask, is the gold and silver and copper that Kinny is rolling for separate from the 10 gold bars and silver necklaces you previously mentioned? Because those were already established as existing, so it be weird for the value of our haul to magically increase or decrease drastically.

>>5584515
>You are able to read a few of the books.
>You do what look to be old folk tales the Old Ones used to share to their little ones.
>Such classics as The Tale of Peter Rabbit, King Arthur, Robin Hood, and the oh so classic, If You Give A Mouse A Cookie.
>Among the others you see what look to be travel guides all leading from the many nations of the Old Ones' maps that you studied.
>You know you are in the land they dubbed as "America".
>But you also see that there are other lands.
>Seperated by the giant lakes.
>Other books tell of you of old recipes the old ones cooked, some strange tactics on how to better yourself, and some that make you question how open the old ones were when it comes to their mating practices.
>Still it was something interesting.
Take some of the books stranger.

"So... what was that loud sound. I assumed it came from underground because of how muffled it was. Also you look like shit, you okay?"
>Jenkins asks as he checks on Mog.
Mog how do you respond?

"Huh... I thought I there were only two of us."

"Come on, this always happens guys. I keep telling you not to do a headcount when someone goes to go use the bathroom."

>>5584519
Mog pantomimed being deaf, holding his paw up to his ear for effect.

"Speak up, I can barely hear you! And no, I'm not okay. That hellbot that nearly strangled you to death literally burrowed through meters of concrete, dirt, and steel to come kill all of us because Kinny got overeager and set off an alarm. I'm surprised you didn't see it from where you were." He surveyed the progress on the graves as he said this, sweeping his paw across his point of view in the direction of the street to illustrate his point.

"The sound was it casting a spell on us, it nearly killed Maggie and I, if it weren't for Kinny it would've. We're all still half deaf, so your gonna have to bear with us for awhile. I just came up to reassure you all that we're alright and the robot is dead. We're gonna need you all to come down and help us carry the loot, but first we gotta count it all so we know how to split it fairly. Those of us that fought that hellspawn will be getting most of it, so don't get your hopes up. It's only fair given we nearly died to get the gold, but you guys will get a small cut for helping us lug it around and just for being part of the crew." The wolf concluded, shrugging in the direction of the elevator to indicate they should come along.

Shit, I didn't refresh before posting. Though to be fair, while you did say there were two subordinates starting in the second thread, I think there were initially four and you just changed that, but I may be wrong. I'll have to go back and check.

To be fair would your character be focusing on the grunts after almost dieing with a fucked up ear?

>>5584542
Nevermind, there were four NPC smugglers including Bobby, but there were 3 NPC no-name smugglers with her originally. You changed this to 2 for whatever reason starting in the 2nd thread, maybe because you forgot or something

>>5584539
>>5584540
>Mog has turned around to head back inside, so he doesn't notice the mysterious third cat initially.

>>5584547
I didn't refresh again and missed this, but no he wouldn't hence why I'm going with just ordering Jenkins to wrangle all of you up to come help us. I'll make a check or something later when it is likely that I would notice, but to be fair there is a decent excuse in that there were originally 3 NPC subordinate no-names around originally before the QM mysteriously reduced that number in the 2nd thread as I've already mentioned.

"This is Simon, apparently. Honestly I thought we lost one of the cats in the forests on the way to town, but apparently he was here the whole time and we-" Mog paused. Wait a second, was this really the same cat as the one on their heist? He barely paid any attention to the subordinate cats and they all sorta looked alike...

>Making an intelligence save to see if I notice that this isn't one of our cats. Flat d20 roll. Everyone here should probably get a save too since we've all seen Bobby's smugglers, Bobby especially should probably roll with some sort of bonus because they are her subordinates.

>>5584567
>>5584572
"Y-yeah, anyways, this is Simon and I think he just fell behind and either no one commented on it or I was outta the loop and everyone knew we still had all our cats and didn't tell me this whole time. Anyways, he's back now. I told the others we are safe, they'll be down here in a moment to help out. We oughta catalogue the spoils so we know how to divvy it up, how goes the progress on that?" Mog finished after skipping a beat to recall Simon's face and coming up with nothing.

>>5584574

>She then turns to Mog.
"Kinny is still getting his "first pick" that Bobby offered him. Not sure when he'll be done. Anyways I'll let you divy up, I'm going back to the surface to burry the dead I have with me."
>With that she then began to go back up to the surface with some corpses to give them a proper burial.

I go to move my head. Will I need to roll a dex save or will she back off?

>>5584584
Let's just say she stopped as soon as you rolled your head.
But what do you do now?

>>5584586
"Sorry, I usually like to give consent before anyone touch my body." Simon mumbles some profanities in Cat. "But if you really want to pet me you can give me stuff for it."

>>5584580
"Put them in the graves, but don't pile the dirt upon them yet, I've gotta give them their rites or they might rise again as undead." Mog said mildly as she passed.

>Maggie took Mog's advice to heart.

Most likely wait for Mog to make the first move since I'm an underling.

>>5584600
>>5584601
This is a little awkward since Kinny isn't here yet despite him normally being here before me. I would check up on him and see how he is inventorying the loot right about now but he isn't here. Maybe he forgot the session was today or he got up late or he had the same issue as before where this thread wasn't tagged in the app he uses or whatever.

Mog peered into the vault to see if the gold has been organized yet and seeing that it hadn't he awkwardly stood beside the cat.

"So, Simon, I haven't really gotten to know you or the other members of Bobby's crew despite us spending all that time together in the forests. Got any big plans on what to do with your cut of the loot? A family to support back in Xana perhaps?" he began tentatively, probing to see if the cat was interested in opening up after all the time they had spent and were likely to continue spending together.

"Really? Good for you, we can't all be like Kinny," Mog laughed at his own joke before continuing, "So, you all know my ambitions, I certainly talk about it enough. What d'ya think? I'll make it worth your while if you stick around and move on up from lugging around our loot to actually fighting. I know you cats don't like fighting an' all that and you'd rather everyone left you alone, but you know as well as I do that the greedy pigs, and power hungry apes won't leave anyone well enough alone, and of course those heathen lizard...well, we all know those heretics just want to burn every trace of the Old One's remnant majesty, and us along with it. They all have to die before any of will be safe. So, what do ya say, wanna join our fledgling warband and fight for our freedom? You get an equal cut of the loot if you do, present situation not included of course."

Not to speak ill of your friends, but I wish your buddies shared your temperament. Anyways, can you go fetch Maggie for me? I need her to come with me to the vehicle bay so we can bring a forklift over here to move the gold, she's the only one who knows how to operate the damn things."

With his orders given he walked into the vault to help count the loot. When he saw Bobby he waved her over with some enthusiasm and said "Hey, you'll never guess what just happened. Simon showed up out of the blue. I thought we lost him back in the woods but there he is!" He then motioned back out into the hallway for emphasis.

Rolled 11, 16 + 5 = 32 (2d20 + 5)

>>5584696
"NO! THE SPELL THEY'RE UNDER! THEY'LL KILL ME."

>>5584700
Do ties go to 'attackers' or defenders in this case?

>>5584706
Since it's a saving throw I win.

>>5584696
>>5584700
We both match. We both match in roll, in modifier, and we both match in number (21 Strength, 21 Dexterity). Never had that happen. But since "Lyman" has disadvantage I say he loses.

>The human soon carried the disguised racoon to the elevator and they soon went back down.
>Listening to that classic elevator music once again.
>Soon the forced duo return underground.
>>5584699
>Right in front of Mog and Bobby.
"I'm here! Where's... the other robot...... did you guys already take care of it.

>>5584710
I won't argue against it this time but in the future, ties go to the one making a saving throw. If it was an ability check then I would understand.

>>5584707
I think you are right since it makes sense that the defender would win ties on saving throws, but I can't find where it actually says that defenders win ties, it isn't on page 179 where saving throws are. Where are you looking in the book?

>>5584717
Page 7.

>>5584710
"Oh, good you found him," Mog breathed out a sigh of relief, then turning serious he said "Listen, I don't know what 'Simon' has told you, but there was no other robot, and that isn't Simon. I was chatting with this fake Simon, trying to recruit him for the fight against the Draconians and all the others, then Bobby came out of the vault and she didn't recognize him. He ran off right away when she questioned his identity and Bobby thinks he could be a spy working for one of the factions, for all we know he could be a Draconian spy! We have to interrogate him."

Technically I think 'Simon' is actually entitled to keep rolling Acrobatics every turn to escape even if he fails his roll, no?

>>5584724
Yes. But it's out of combat so it's kinda hard to tell when I can attempt again.

"See? It's the spell! They're trying to hurt their friends! Poor Kinny is gone!"

>>5584710
>>5584726
Should we roll Persuasion versus Deception? I personally don't believe Maggie would really need to think this through that hard given that we aren't attempting to kill Simon and we said that we collect Kinny before going after 'Simon' but it is up to you QM.

Mog scoffed and breathed out an annoyed sigh of exasperation. "You really think she's gonna believe that? We're not trying to kill you, we just want answers."

Rolled 1 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5584724
He is. He can actually roll out now if he wants but I must roll my strength save to see if I keep hold of him.

>>5584724
>>5584726
>Maggie looks down at "Simon"
>She then kept a bit of a hold on him as she took him away from her chest.
"Wait.... so he isn't with us? So who exactly is he then? Like some sort of stowaway?"
>Bobby chimed in.
"I personally believe he's a spy. Though if that were the case wouldn't Jenkins recognize him. He was part of the Apes."
>Bobby continued to ponder for a bit.
>Meanwhile Maggie was keeping a good eye on him.
"I mean he doesn't seem like he would want me like you said the other factions would. Maybe he's not part of a faction. Maybe he's just a stupid young cat or something who just needs money."
>The group continue to stare at "Simon".
Simon how do you respond.
Roll Dex Save if you want Simon. No advantage or disadvantage.

>>5584738
Well that's going to be easy for him to break.

>>5584734
"Sure, throw big accusations like I'm a Draconian spy. Threaten that you'll tie a bag of bricks to me and throw me in a river! That for sure screams you just want answers! Stop trying to kill me! Maggie! We need to snap them out of it and save Kinny!"

Rolled 13 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

Rolled 8 + 8 (1d20 + 8)

>>5584744
"Listen buddy, this would go easier if you just told us why you are here and what you want. And if you are the reason the why the real Simon is missing then you'd better fess up to what you did to him as well!" Mog bit out, the venom in his voice evident as he was tired of pussyfooting around.

>Roll to intimidate, will use lucky if roll is bad.

>>5584749
*Shrug* Good enough, though 'Simon' probably runs off.

"Listen buddy I think it's just better if you come clean. Trust me they are harsh on everyone. I was literally restrained in a wheelchair for days by them but then they warmed up to me a bit. Trust me, they'll get used to you."
Rolling Persuasion on "Simon".

Rolled 20 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

Using my intimidate to try not to be scared.

Rolled 15 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

>>5584751

>Nat 20. Completely Unafraid.
>Beat persuasion. Lymon is not convinced to trust them yet.

>>5584753
>>5584754
Jesus Christ those rolls, guess Fake!Simon is a stone cold motherfucker. Though I think you'd probably roll a wisdom or charisma saving throw to resist intimidation, not intimidation back.

>>5584754
"Well when you have not seen a human for 100 years, I kind of assume that's the appropriate response."
>Maggie tells "Simon"

>>5584751
>>5584756
Seeing this was going nowhere Mog decided to take action to at least get this cat out of the bunker. Moving quickly he stepped into the elevator with Maggie and 'Simon' and slammed the top floor button while barking out "Don't let him out!"

>I move into the elevator and slam the button to move us to above ground, hoping to trap him in the elevator. If I succeed then I wanna then press the button to stop the elevator from moving so we get trapped in between floors and so the doors don't open. Tell me if I need to make reflex or initiative roll to beat 'Simon'.

Rolled 7 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

>>5584759
Cha saving throw is the same luckily.

"That vicious tone Mr. Wolf! I knew you were trying to kill me! Maggie if you don't start saving Kinny he'll die, I'm not gonna die either!"

Lymon goes to escape.

(Also try to convince Maggie to help Lymon.)

Rolled 3 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5584762
Rolling acrobatics for reflexes.

Rolled 17 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

Rolling Athletics for grapple.

Rolled 12 - 2 (1d20 - 2)

>>5584764
>Rolling dex ability roll, which is garbage.

Rolled 15 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5584766
Roll Across to get out of grapple.

Rolled 19 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5584764
Actually will use luck for this.

So end result is you grapple me in the elevator?

So I think that means 'Simon' is grappled and I succeed in locking us in the elevator? I think Maggie should also get another check to see through his disguise self spell since she is now touching him. At the very least I think she can automatically tell that he feels different than a cat should if she feels his hands or touches a part of the illusion that isn't real.

Rolled 3 + 3 (1d20 + 3)

>>5584763
Also rolling insight on that persuasion, to see if you convinced Maggie on something.

>>5584773
>>5584775
Missed this. I think this means you escape grapple but I succeed in locking us in the elevator.

>>5584780
I won the reflexes but lost the grapple so it would mean we're in the elevator but you grabbed me.

>>5584781
?

You rolled a 14 to convince Maggie, an 8 to beat me in regards to the elevator trap and a 20, then a 24 to beat-oh I see, nevermind. Yes, we're still in the elevator then because Maggie succeeded in grappling you, the result is the same either way. Also, I don't think you can use Lucky on a roll that has already 'passed' if that makes sense. Like, you are rolling to beat me out of the elevator and then escape grapple, I don't think you can do that after you've already moved on to rolling for something else.

"Soft furred bastard is also slippery."
>Though Maggie was unable to keep a hold on him, they were able to be locked in the elevator.
>The music seeming to calm the situation down.
>It was then Maggie did notice something.
"Simon... I'm sorry but I can't help but notice something. Why are you trusting me. I already told you that I am a human and that it's been a long time since we have seen a human... and yet you are treating me as if you have seen one before. Even telling me it was not normal for them to tie me in a chair. I know this is sounding crazy and you might be an enemy but... I'm willing to trust you a bit... if you tell me why you are so calm around me."
"Simon" what do you do, you convinced the human to trust you a bit.

>>5584787
You rolled the 8 I rolled the 20. I think it's because we were going so fast so it was hard to see which rolls go with what. We'll slow down next time but I'm pretty sure it's just mano on mano hugging and tugging locked in an elevator together.

>>5584791
Oh, I see. I thought you were grappling not Maggie. My bad.

Rolled 7 + 7 (1d20 + 7)

>>5584790
"Because I have nerves of steel. Everyday I wonder when I'll see my wife again. IF I'll see my wife again. Giant Robots? Old ones? That's just another day in my life. You may find it hard to believe that I had another life outside Bobby's gang. I'd tell you about it but I'm trying to do the same thing I do every day, live."

Rolled 11 + 6 (1d20 + 6)

>>5584790
>>5584763
Not the least bit concerned with Maggie's sudden neutrality regarding the cat Mog kept trying to pin the spy in order to dispel what he assumed was an illusion, he was out of spells for the day, so detect magic or a hypothetical use of the much famed but unavailable zone of truth spell wasn't an option.

>Rolling Athletics to temporarily grapple the cat in order to remove any physical disguise or dispel any illusions.

Rolled 17 + 3 (1d20 + 3)

>>5584795
Rolling an Insight check.

Rolled 10 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5584797
You won't dispell it but you might notice some parts are thinner then they actually are. You can feel the form but it won't get rid of it.

>>5584800
I know, but Mog doesn't know how most magic actually works, his magical and religious education is incomplete. He just knows enough to know dispelling is a thing. I read the disguise self spell, if I feel you up enough I may notice the differences in apparel or your racoon hands among other things.

>>5584802
True, you'll feel everything wrong but it won't get rid of the disguise.

So Lymon's firmly grappled and Maggie knows something's up.

"Hmm, he seems to be a cat at the very least." Mog admitted sullenly.

"Still, the jig is up, might as well tell us what you are doing here and who you work for. Let me guess, the cult of Bastet? Here to pursue Kinny and Bobby for their crimes of idol theft or something? Typical cat Goddess business? Or are you some bootlicker who works for one of the tyrants or those blasphemous lizards? Might as well fess up, I don't intend to murder you in cold blood, but I can still make your stay with us awfully unpleasant. Just answer our questions and we'll let you go, though of course you'll have to leave the bunker."

"Raccoon.... you're actually a raccoon not a cat!"

>>5584839
"Ow! Not the tail! Don't be racist! Okay. Fine! You imposter! Go ahead and kill me apostates." The Raccoon finally removes the disguise. Even in his true form, the black ribbon around his eyes taunts you. His hair is gray, an old gray. His muscles feeble. He is ready for death.

>>5584837
"All freedom loving folk have at least three enemies if they have any sense and can feel the oppressive boots on their necks. The pigs, the apes, the lizards. You know this to be true if you've lived in these lands for any length of time, those who work for them know this better than any other. The pigs debt trapping everyone and ruining communities with their bad faith deals and transactional relationships, the apes and their primitivism, desire to 'return to nature' with a dog eat dog world and blatant genocidal imperialism, and worst of all the lizards who just burn every fucking town made in the Old One's image! Who could love such creatures? Of course we have enemies, they strangle us from every direction!" Mog practically shouted, screaming his convictions into the ears of the seemingly ignorant cat who should know better.

>>5584842
"Racist? Apostate? Killing you?! What are you talking about?!"
>The confused human began to ask the now fully revealed raccoon.

>>5584842
"For the love of the Moon Above, we're not gonna kill you unless you try and kill us or steal from us or go where you don't belong. Just answer our questions. Who are you, what do you want, what are you doing here, who do you work for, why the deception? And watch what you say, I'm no apostate, I've renounced nothing!"

>>5584845
>>5584848
"You seem very chummy with this false depiction of the true old one. We all know you're an imposter 'Maggie.' The Great Old One gave me existence to weed out false prophets and pretenders. You steal his very likeness."

>>5584850
Mog was stunned silent. What did this babbling racoon mean? He seemed awfully familiar with humans, that was obvious.

His next words came out hoarse from all the talk and shouting and just general exertion over the course of the day. "What do you mean? Explain yourself."

>>5584850
>>5584853
>Great old one?
>This got Maggie thinking a bit.
>That thinking...
>Soon evolved into an outburst of questions.
"Wait... so you have seen another human?! Where?! Where can I meet this Great Old One? Is he over at Canada as well?!"
>She seemed more... excited and curious than enraged.
>Like a young pup about to recieve a bone.
>As if she was happy to hear that another human was around.
>Possibly close as well.
"Is he young looking like me or very very old!? Come on you have to answer one question!!"

>>5584853
"Explain myself? To Heretics!? I already told you you're pretenders and that's all you need to know. And not very good ones either judging by the lack of spectacles and pitiful lumps on your chest. Sinners do not deserve to know the likeness of Eugene! Now end me before I end you!"

>>5584854
"Never! I'd sooner slay you than guide you to the mighty one."

>>5584858
Mog sighed. Disappointing. He handed the raccoon over to Maggie before pushing the button for the top 'floor' again. When they arrived he shouted over to Jenkins and the cats. "Hey Jenkins! We got a magic using spy-racoon! He was pretending to be Simon using a disguise spell, we're gonna let him go, don't let him fool you into thinking he is one of us again. Don't let him kill any of you or steal a single thing either!"

He motioned for Maggie to bring the racoon over to the others so they could get a look at him before they let him go.

>>5584858
>The human was clearly not interested in his insults and threats.
"R- right. So this Eugene... he wouldn't have happen to wake up from a chamber of ice as well has he?"
>She curiously asked the raccoon.
>She was wanting to say cryo-chamber but was trying to say it in a way the raccoon could possibly understand it.
"Also what can I do to prove that we are all on the same side?"

>>5584868
"You could've just said Spy! You don't have to make this a race thing! And hey, watch the hands faker, you're touching my butt and tail a little too much for my liking."

"Private information about the True one is restricted to believers. The only way I could trust you is if you turned back into your original animal form or you die. Pretenders are not to be tolerated. I don't care if you were a pig or a lizard or whatever animal, but you're not his true likeness."

>>5584871
"No...no, I mean like a spy that is also a racoon, y'know, compound words? Did your master teach you those? And hey, I have to grab you somewhere from two opposite ends, I don't have thumbs like you do buddy. Check your fingers privilege, rodent." The tired old wolf exchanged sarcastic barbs with the rat-adjacent creature while he waited for the fox and cats to come closer.

>>5584878
"I'm pretty sure I can't transform into an animal. I can try but I am about one hundred percent sure I am one hundred percent human. Even if I wasn't how the fuck do I turn back into an animal. Do you have an answer for that? Or at least a spell that can dispel this so called disguise I am wearing?"

>>5584884
"Yeah thumbs are kind of useful like that."

Rolled 13 + 5 (1d20 + 5)

>>5584884
"One, me being a Raccoon isn't that important of a trait. The fact that you only identify me and label me something I can't control is detestable. And I was referring to the pretender yanking my tail. It seems both those things flew over your head."

>>5584888
>>5584888
"Usually I just kill pretenders because when I try to explain to them their blasphemous nature they attack me, so I have to explode their heads. A dispel magic spell wouldn't work because this isn't a simple polymorph. It's either you biologically transforming into this or it's a powerful curse. Maybe both."

Mog wheezed out in laughter. "Like a bird." he said in jest.

He laughed again to himself. "The fact that you can't see your own hypocrisy is astounding."

>>5584903
"No, Maggie was VERY aware of what she was doing when she casted that ritual. Your gang even tied her up didn't they? Maybe you even did yourself. Not because you were afraid of the unknown, but because your beast instincts were afraid of the sins she committed."

0, can't tell shit.

"I can't go back! I haven't cleansed the world enough. Otherwise he'd kill me. And he could definitely kill all of you. Tell you what, you tell me where enough heretics and pretenders are and I'll ask to set up a meeting?"

>>5584907
"Wrong on both accounts buddy, I'll tell you this for free. She was helpless inside a fridge when we found her being kept by a bunch of voyeuristic mice and an old rabbit. She's a hundred-something years old and shares the name of someone who left us evidence of the truth of what she has told us. We tied her up because to be blunt we were kidnapping away from the weirdos who had her locked up in a fridge and were probably planning on selling her as mystery meat in the local tavern. She can't even cast magic as far as I can tell, so not much chance of her casting the mythological polymorph spell." Mog lazily refuted. This banter was putting him to sleep, maybe he should go check on Kinny, he was always good for a laugh.

>>5584915
>>5584908
"We could tell him about Xenarus? Or the people who were keeping you in Xana? Really if he wants to purge blasphemers then he should just kill every lizard he sees, they destroy every remnant of Old One civilization they can get their grubby little mitts on." Mog opined.

Unfortunately my last post for the day. Got some stuff to do. Might possibly continue the session on Thursday but know this, Tuesday is (almost) always a garuntee to when we will do a session. I hope you guys had fun.

"As long as we cleanse enough along the way, I'm sure it will be fine."

(Hopping off for now too since there was only 1 other PC.)

>>5584923
Mog laughed out loud again. "Who do you think built all this?" he motioned to the city around them.

"Not your fake idol, that's for sure. Everyone knows the Old Ones built all this greatness, even the lizards. Now we just wallow in the pitiful remnants of their blessed age. In reality your idol was probably just a nobody in the society of the Old Ones, woken up from a fridge like Maggie here by some entrepreneurial gopher and is now pretending to be a big shot to a gullible loser like you. At least Maggie here can claim to be of an honourable profession, fighting demons from the Outer Dark as a soldier for the former rulers of this land. I doubt your fraudulent 'god' can claim such credentials." Mog rambled provocatively, chuckling to himself.

Hearing Maggie's assent he sighed.

"But sure, once we bury the dead and pack up our supplies and wealth, we'll take a detour to see your 'Great Old One', the first of many detours I'm sure. We still have to visit that store you mentioned, Maggie."

Yeah, take care. I'm also done for today, hopefully Kinny shows up next time.

Y'know, I was gonna propose that maybe 'Simon' was just Kinny pretending to be a new player for the lols, because we've technically never seen them posting at the same time. Now I'm just disappointed, it would've been funny.

Country bumpkin with police gear.... interesting combo.

I stood up to a tyrant's agents. I killed them and took their equipment and weapons

>>5586251
>Tyrant agents
From which factions?
Apes, Lizards, Pigs, or maybe say it was something else?

they had kept pushing the town until they used someone as an example to disrespecting their might an innocent child blamed for stealing a loaf of bread, the bastard Kar had dragged him into the middle of town mad with power he would have gutted the cub if I had not stepped up the tyrant I charged him shovel sharpened with all the hate and disgust i felt for the primate

>>5586262
Sorry for the late response. Still I can make some good story out of that. Anyways it's almost midnight. Gotta get some sleep. Enjoy the reward of having Police Armor. I'll try and come up with stats for it tomorrow.

You should be level 2 I think, as that is what the party is at.

>>5586308
Oh good to know

>>5586207
Yikes, that there's why DnD implemented the roll 4d6 and adding the highest 3 instead of 1d20 per stat.

I'm just a tourist, but is there a reason you guys roll stats like this? Is it to make the animals stats more wildly varied?

>>5586329
I dunno, this is just how we've done it since the 1st thread. It has resulted in some pretty high highs and low lows.

>>5586329
Not to my knowledge, there isn't. Animals have extra +1/-1 to stats depending on species already. I personally always want to see the world burn, so it doesn't bother me.
>>5586332
Oh hi Marg.

>>5586333
Heya. Sleeping now.

>>5586329
>>5586332
>>5586333
It was mostly used to make things a lot easier and faster to rolling up stats.
I personally like the 4d6 system as well but seeing it used on here once, I know it was pain to keep track of.
The other reason was the Wild varient. You are all still animals.

>>5586333
But since I am up. Kinny would you mind rolling what I proposed here.
>>5584494
You deserve your early bit of the reward.

>>5586304
I think your hit die should be 10. Hold on a second. Page 71 of the player's manuel. 1d10. Change your Hit Die box to resemble that.

>>5586304
Also since everyone else took a feat, you might want to take a feat as well.
Just letting you know everyone else took Lucky so I am not sure if you want that or not.

>>5586446
Already done

>>5586456
Good. I also see that you already set your police armor to be like chain mail. I guess that works out.

>>5586460
Are we having a session today or are we waiting to Tuesday?

>>5586460
The player sheet had preset armor so I figured I would use that as a place holder but that works to gotta love fluffing up equipment descriptions
I’m also thinking of taking the sentinel feet

Rolled 53, 68, 74 + 80 = 275 (3d100 + 80)

>>5586443
Sure and sorry for last session again. I hope that Bobby's comment wasn't you channeling your own anger for me.
Also uuuuh... lemme look up how we all left the vault to determine how Kinny split up with everyone else to count the money. Honestly, it doesn't sound that unusual at all that I could count the shekels while they buried the bodies.

>>5586470
133g, 148s, 154c
*SHOVES IT INTO POCKET*
"Aight I think we're done here for today, time to go home."

>>5586469
Sadly we are only using the player's handbook for feats, none of the splats or other books for whatever reason. Also no multi-classing.

>>5586473
Right, actually 1p, 34g, 49s, 54c

>>5584494
>And to our new friend, (...) How would you like to introduce yourself?
A kek in retrospect.

>>5586470
I went up to reassure the hirelings that we were fine and that the Rick's cashier hellbot didn't kill us. 'Simon' infiltrated the group as a cat. You stayed in the vault because you weren't here that day, we met back up in the hallway outside the vault, whereupon Bobby revealed that 'Simon' was not in fact Simon. Then I had us collectively gather up and close the vault to go chase 'Simon'.

Sorry for this character controlling, if you aren't okay with it then I'm fine if you would do something else, but otherwise if you don't have any objections then I think we should retroactively consider you to have been with us when I and Bobby confront Maggie and 'Simon' in front of the elevator lobby. I don't think there is a good reason why you wouldn't come with us when as far as we all knew there was a potentially hostile spy amongst our midst impersonating a missing hireling. (On that note, it works out well RP-wise because we actually did suspiciously lose one of three of Bobby's subordinates back in the forest in thread 1, he wasn't there in thread 2 either, so a moment of QM forgetfulness lends itself well to this particular RP thing)

>>5586474
That’s in the players handbook check 169

Who knows, maybe our new bear party member can introduce himself as having found and rescued Simon who got lost in the forest or something. Anything is fine really, but it'd kinda suck if we had another semi-adversarial PC joining the party and would be hard to manage without breaking the party dynamic or ending up in PVP or something.

>Kinny using all of his brain power to come up with a way to find what he wanted, was speninding all of his time sorting out each and every coin this back had to offer.

>>5586489
Saw it earlier. So I allowed it. Probably should have been more vocal earlier.

>>5586467
We can do a few hours today. Going to be slow though.

>>5586486
>>5586489
Ah, so it is. I'm sure there was some combo that I remember as being pretty strong that was often taken with sentinel that prompted my comment about only using the players handbook feats.

If I remember correctly it was using the alternate human version to get an extra feat, then taking sentinel and...polearm master or something like that? So you'd stop them like 10 feet away, and do your opportunity attack and...I can't remember exactly how it worked out but iirc it was pretty good. Been awhile since I've played a IRL campaign or played a 5e fighter. Anyways, completely irrelevant here, disregard what I said.

>>5586495
lmao, Kinny jumps the gun thinking that it was a simple roll+80 for the number of each type of coin, so he only takes those numbers thinking he's taking all of it, only to ending up looting a meagre portion of it as his first dibs bonus. You love to see it. I guess we are retconing it so that I didn't lock the vault with the keycard then? Since apparently Kinny just sat there counting moola while we chased a spy.

Thou senile shiba inu, we're NOT at level 2. See >>5568101

>>5586501
You're not level 3.
You guys are level 2.
You became level 2 after the first thread.

>>5586503
>who's senile now
what the what I need my meds then

>>5586503
So to be clear you all have 750 exp.

>>5586501
It is you a who are a senile old cat who also cannot read my dear friend. The very post you link says that we gain 450 XP but DO NOT LEVEL UP. Level 3 requires 900 XP, we have 750. We gained 300 in the first thread, and we gained 450 at the end of last thread, that is 750, not enough to reach 900, which is what is required to level up to level 3. You are just confused because of the level up image.

As punishment thou must bonk thyself, much like the much memed doggo horny jail bonk pics, thy must bonk thyself like the derpy cat thou art.

>>5586503
>>5586505
Ninja'd.

>>5586506
You are ancient for implying I would even know how much XP is needed to level up on any level in D&D. I have never interacted with this before and I constantly fuck up because I am violently retarded, I hate this.

I guess in the meantime..
Mog and "Simon" what do you two do?
Ursus how would you like to introduce yourself, note you are in the ruins of a modern day city.

>>5586508
It's okay, no one likes keeping track of XP. But yes, I don't exactly have the zoomer attitude.

>>5586510
It's not even XP, I somehow don't have a single .pdf with level 2 which is why I thought we're still on lv1. I have no fucking idea what happened to it.

>>5586509
I am probably looking for food exploring the ruins of the old one for tech

>>5586514
I’m scavenging right now in the city

>>5586514
So I would probably just stumble on them after finding an ancient vending machine and trying to raid it for the mummified snacks inside

>>5586509
'What was I doing before all of this nonsense happened?' Mog mused to himself. He clawed through the shallow depths of his memory to try and recall a time before the present absurdities.
It took a minute but eventually the old wolf proved he wasn't quite senile just yet and prodded Maggie to get her attention before saying "Oh, right, ahem, Maggie before all this crap happened I was going to ask you to come with me to the vehicle garage to do as you said you would and show us how to operate a forklift. We need to get a move on and back up our wealth from the vault and as much food and supplies as possible for our trip to the north, and however many detours we take along the way. You should also look through the facility for any sentimental items you want to bring, as well as any books, tools, clothes, and whatever else you can think we might need. Presumably there is an abundance of now unused Old One technology that could give us a unique advantage in traversing these fractious lands safely. I'm gonna go to the Rick's and get back our money and see if there is anything worth while there, if you don't have anything urgent you need to do right away then I'll meet you at the vehicle bay in a few minutes."

>Loot the cash register at Rick's for our money back and whatever else is in there. Loot the Rick's to see if there was any 'special selection'.
>Meet Maggie at the vehicle garage.

>>5586521
Bleh, there was supposed to be a space in between the first line and second, not sure what happened to it. Oh well.

>>5586521

Don't forget Kinny you can do something as well.

>>5586547
Did anyone return to vault/assist Kinny in carrying out the loot? If not, then are Bobby's cats around Kinny? And if that's not the case, are the lootable items from the vault possible for just Kinny to handle on his own?
Final question, is the platinum/gold/silver/copper I found in coins or in loot value?

>>5586549
Coins and bars, yes.
Paper money, probably not.
You can still take some if you want.

>>5586551
What about Bobby's cats?

>>5586556

Bobby's cats are on the surface digging graves for the dead humans you all found.

He had been pocketing the cans after the first few yielded food stuffs these must be some series tech to preserve food this long in shiny metal containers (I may want to scuff the outside with dirt and mud to help hide the food) He walks up standing upon his hind legs, raping his forpaws in cloth, he rears back and smashes down, it must have been a golden age of peace for the old ones be fore they fell to not have reinforced these conveniences against theft.
>strength check
(also if the glass breaks take the shards into pouch, if they are sharp enough they could make good tips for arrows)

Rolled 19 (1d20)

>>5586544
wtfomgbbq, those guns are broken as fuck and we haven't even gotten to the proper gun store mentioned previously

The bows were familiar to Mog, most animals couldn't use them, even racoons or bears had trouble. But a previous few of the strongest and most dexterous among them occasionally could manage to master such exotic weapons with lifelong dedication. The strange oblong rods - staves, perhaps(?) - and strange right-angle bludgeons were an oddity though.

He decided to look for a cart or something to put all of these items in. If there wasn't one then he'd wrap a length of his rope around a selection of every variety of the hunting weapons and put a bunch of the ammunition in his bag.

Then there was the cash register and the back room to check out...

>Put as many bows, crossbow, and guns of both varieties into a cart. If there isn't a cart then wrap half a dozen rifles, half a dozen bows, and half a dozen crossbow up with a rope and carry that. Put half a dozen handguns and 3 boxes of gun ammo of both types in my bag as well as 30 arrows and 30 bolts. I'm only carrying it a short distance to the hirelings, the guns I'm bringing to Maggie since I don't know what they are.

>Before I leave I loot the cash register and take any metal currency inside, there should at least be the 35 silver or so that we handed the hellbot inside the till. I also investigate the backrooms and behind the counter for secret stashes. Roll is a flat d20 for investigation.

>>5586546
Saved.

>>5586549
I was getting Maggie to go to the garage for a forklift specifically to lift our gold from the vault. And also to get our food crates I guess. We'll be back soonish.

battle axe check
hmm glass is not yielding to weight hmm my theory has been incorrect they did reinforce the glass. Hmmm maybe I should use my axe?

>>5586551
Can I try to just throw everything into my pack and haul it outside the vault on my own? I AM a smuggler and all that, after all. Note that I am working in retrospect just to make a bridge from robot defeat to raccoon being dispelled, without stumbling onto Mog/hooman/Bobby dealing with the possum on the way.

>>5586570
It isn't up to me, but personally I don't think it makes sense for you to be able to, metal is heavy, gold especially so, and you are a tiny cat with a strength score of 2. Rules as written say that you can only comfortably carry 30 pounds, and with effort lift 60 at the cost of lowering your movement speed to 5 feet per turn, except because you are Tiny your carrying capacity is halved, meaning you can only comfortably carry 15 pounds and lift, drag, or push 30 pounds.

>>5586583
>>5586569
>>5584926
Though for interactions that don't involve the NPCs we can probably just introduce each other and RP with each other freely, the city is probably clear of threats at the moment and we are just in the process of looting, so with no major story beats or necessary NPC dialogues to engage in we could smooth out the party dynamic before moving the story forward.

>>5586589
well you probably hear a massive Whang! and the shattering of glass so you would probably see and/ hear me out in the open

>>5586589
eventually ursus would notice the others rummaging around, he would probably walk up to the store they are in and knock let them make the first move as to minimize panic

Rolled 7 - 2 (1d20 - 2)

>>5586582
If it is alright with you then I think we should just assume the scene you write later tonight regarding what I find happens and that I just end up looting whatever I find before going out to see Ursus. If that isn't okay then how about we keep my roll of 19 but the scene happens later when I come back to the Rick's to finish my investigation? Not to say I don't want to know what I find, I just mean I want to move on to interact with Ursus and that we can retcon what I find into the story later.

>>5586591
The only issue is that I'm kinda caught in waiting on the QM to tell me what I found or if I found a cart. But I suppose we can retcon in what I find later and just assume I took it and then the subsequent scenes of us talking or whatever happen afterwards. The other issue is that I'm probably too busy today to do much more than sparsely post occasionally. I more meant that inter-party dialogue and interactions between PCs can occur freely without the need for the QM, even on days that aren't scheduled session days, so we can pick this up tomorrow and on the weekend. For various reasons such as there previously only being 2 PCs (Kinny and I) or us just being busy we usually didn't do this except for single late night posts to act as connective tissue for other posts happening the next day.

The sound of shattering glass startled Mog. They should be alone in the city. There was no reason for Jenkins or the cats to be breaking things. He cautiously poked his head out the storefront, mindful of the weight of his armour and wary of the loot he was laden with swaying about and potentially hitting something and making noise.

>Stealth Roll to not be noticed by the bear.
>I'm observing in Ursus's direction, what do I see?

>>5586605
ah fug I was about to catch up with you in at rick's

Rolled 1 + 3 (1d20 + 3)

>>5586605
perception check
he is a brown bear covered in clothing and armor wielding a battle axe and carrying around a backpack and some cans and loot there is also a shovel on his back

>>5586609
he is not looking at you

>>5586609
that is supposed to be a minus 3

>>5586609
>>5586611
>>5586596
That's what I get for not refreshing before posting. Also, I'm the only one in the store, Jenkins the fox and two cats are out in the outskirts of the city within sight of where we are digging graves, Kinny is in an underground bunker, 'Simon' the racoon and Maggie the Old One (human, though if you are an average animal you don't know Old Ones are called humans) are just standing out in the street, Bobby the cat is underground in the lobby. Just so you know what you see.

And immediately he bumped into a bear. For a moment he just stared. The bear was blind as a bat, looking to the side instead of into the building as he approached the front. Then he noticed the police armour. With a burst of speed only borderline panic could bring he pushed past Ursus and started screaming at the top of his lungs.

"APES! APES! The APES are here! It's the fucking military police vanguard, a ursine auxiliary! Get to the bunker!"

>>5586606
I'm still in Rick's, I'm just running outside now into the street which is right next to the elevator booth, we can still meet up, just edit whatever post you were working on to reflect that.
