Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[Kutshort Yes]

Judging from reactions, you guys seem confused by my actions. Remember, Kutshort is chaotic neutral. Dude is my friend, T’anks has not yet earned that spot

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm slow! Working on iiit

(but yes lol)

Cool cool I'll slow my role on a Long Rest post until you get your last word in

And Dude is clearly not handling this well.

So what happens with long rest? Are we radio silent... or?

Oh I'm just throwing reactions out all willy-nilly, pay mine little heed.

T'anks is also Chaotic Neutral, and has the Haunted One (trait? flaw? IDK) for good measure. CHAOS!!

 

[TD]

*had the Haunted one.

 

[TD]

and I literally just finished FFIV.

Spoiler: Story spoilers

Betrayal betrayal betrayal betrayal death betrayal sacrifice death betrayal, etc.

 

[VashTheStampede]

4 is a fuckin banger

Palom and Porom 4ever

 

[TD]

Speaking of moments that get me in the feels - yup.

 

[T'anks]

The worst part about IV is that they almost all come back!

Some of those scenes are pretty great! Not a huge fan of Kain even though I love me some Dragoon.

 

[TD]

@Raine
T'anks is still showing dead.

Kain is literally why I like dragoons lol

he's the real Highwind, Cid7 can suck it

I haven't actually refreshed that tab in like a month, I just look at it and push buttons sometimes to see what actions do.

Maybe I should uh... look into refreshing that.

 

[VashTheStampede]

@Raine

I fixed it

 

[T'anks]

I fixed it

I just pushed a bunch of buttons!

...So something probably got broke somewhere but #yolo.

 

[TD]

Did you do your long rest lol

 

[VashTheStampede]

I do think that's a solid place for me to call it a night on the DMing. Long work day tomorrow to prep for inventory so I'll be on a little later in the afternoon/evening than usual to pick things back up.

 

[T'anks]

I did, I diiid do my long rest!

...Man being tied to a stalagmite for 8 hours has got to suck ass. Especially with a tail involved.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Good stuff today y'all

 

[TD]

we are never getting out of this cave are we

 

[Kutshort Yes]

we are never getting out of this cave are we

If the cave starts to flood, hopper, Dragmire, and I are going to ride you out of the cave

 

[Kutshort Yes]

 

[TD]

Kutshort has now chosen to leave Sildar for dead too.

 

[T'anks]

Gets new power to talk on walls, free of flooding

Decides to sewer cave surf on his turtle friend instead

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Kutshort has now chosen to leave Sildar for dead too.

Sildar can swim

 

[VashTheStampede]

we are never getting out of this cave are we

once you're in there long enough watching the shadows projected on the wall, even if you could leave you won't want to

 

[TD]

So if I understood right, the long rest is over and anything we put is just waiting for when you're ready, yeah?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Look at that, no ambush…

Wouldn’t it be funny if T’anks was really Klarg

 

[T'anks]

And suddenly, we're back to playing wolf.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Klargus the T’anks Tiefling

 

[TD]

Look at that, no ambush…

Wouldn’t it be funny if T’anks was really Klarg

...remember the T'anks and Klarg had a baby theory?

 

[T'anks]

I would assume the party has taken T'anks's inventory at this point, yes?

Also TD's totally over here feeding into my madness.

It's a good thing that you're the only one with a tendency for madness, eh?

 

[TD]

Also just gotta say...

Trying to embrace D&D concepts and truly play a Chaotic Good character is such an interesting balancing act to maintain and I'm loving it.

 

[TD]

I would assume the party has taken T'anks's inventory at this point, yes?

I missed this.

Well, Dude already did a thing.

 

[TD]

I looooove that you reacted "This is Fine" without even reading it.

Lmfao.

 

[T'anks]

I've always found the Alignment Grid to be fascinating, since it works as-is and changes significantly depending on your exact, personal interpretation of what Law-Chaos and Good-Evil are.

Law is an easy one - that can be literally the letter of the authority's rule (or, uh, y'know, laws). Or, it can be a personal code. Or, it can become "Order" in either a hard or a soft sense; authoritarian, perhaps, or more of a "adhere to these societal rules or be exiled."

...I basically always adhere to Chaotic Neutral, since that tends to be the most "personal" freedom. Sometimes it veers a little more towards Chaotic Good, with the Good in the sense of "what is right to create the most favorable outcome for the largest number of people possible." Others, well... we'll see on that one.

Chaotic Evil itself is pretty boring though. Largely comic book villain stuff with no shades of gray present, in my experience with non-D&D stuff.

My backup is Chaotic Evil. From what I've read in most places, they pretty much all devolve into murderhobos. That's why Tortle Danger is Chaotic Evil, because I would challenge myself to find a way to embrace it but also have a reason and yes, murder is in the playbook, but it's so much bigger. If I ever get to use him.

 

[TD]

I don't remember who actually has the drawing, I thought it was T'anks.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Haha, someone just show it

 

[TD]

From a character development perspective - it wouldn't make sense for it to be Dude right now.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’m going to assume the picture is easily accessible, regardless who had it. Sorry @GwJumpman if I’m raiding Dragmire’s stuff

 

[Dragmire]

Dragmire welcomes an excuse to exercise his right to bear Eldritch Blasts

Hey, my artificer has caught wind of Dragmire's exploits and is starting to create a way for him to ELDRICH BLAST like the Dragmire.

Live shot of Dude sleeping in the cave:

 

[TD]

Also pictured: Dude ready to lead the way with his moonlit sword.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Dude means business

 

[T'anks]

Contender for the world's worst opportunity for a "But actually" moment right there, methinks?

Dude means business

I see what you did there.

Man's so ready for business he won't even take off his suit jacket for bed.
