Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant (Chapter 2)

[VashTheStampede]

It's always a good rule of thumb to just leave things completely open for the other players to respond how they will.

Unless you're the DM. YOU'RE IN MY WORLD, SUCKA

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I don’t feel like rehashing everything we discussed outside of the campaign and finding a way to make it in character

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’m talking about now with my most recent post. Imagine the appropriate response to get to the bromance moment Raine mentioned and you agreed with

 

[VashTheStampede]

If kut doesn't want to rehash everything in character I think a good compromise might be for Dude to realize that while Kutshort might do things that rub him the wrong way (justified or not) that Kutshort does care for him and wants to be friends. The fact that your characters have an unwritten history of being friends for a while can play nicely into that.

I know I've had relationships where I've had to remind myself that the other person, when it's all said and done, is on my side. No matter how much they may infuriate me in the moment.

Also Im hoping Dude explains exactly why he was upset about the sword thing at some point, but that's mainly because I think it's good content.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Can you please explain what your gif meant if it was not agreement that this is the time for a bromance moment? My post was based around that.

Can you also let me know whether you are okay with Vash’s compromise or if Dude and Kutshort will never be the same

 

[Kutshort Yes]

You posted a gif stating “what she said” with a person nodding while quoting her post. It’s a reasonable assumption that you were agreeing with her post

I’ll wait for the story to advance

 

[Kutshort Yes]

It is my fault for assuming, when you post something that means “i agree” you meant “i agree” instead of something else that you still have not shared.

I just want to finally move past this issue, both in game (either they decide they will be friends again or not. I don’t want a will they won’t they) and here.

Going forward I will not mention what another character does, no matter how minor or insignificant I believe the action is. I will stop making assumptions in game about anyone except for Kutshort and Hopper. Even then, I will defer to Vash for Hopper’s actions

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Dragmire does not have to be curled up on the bar napping

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Today on "I just keep making it worse".

Read man. Fucking. Read.

I’m waiting for the next story update

 

[Kutshort Yes]

There's stuff going on right in front of your face.

And I said, I don’t care how our characters get to their resolution, I just want them to get there. If the only way for Dude to forgive Kutshort is for Kutshort to grovel, then Kutshort grovels. If Kutshort sharing the contents of Klarg’s chest is what it takes, then he does that. I honestly do not care how it happens. Kutshort will do what it takes. I’m ready to put that part of the story behind us. If you want to type it out for both sides or work with Vash so he posts the update with Kutshort’s actions, I’m okay with either

Shortkut feels similarly. Neither one is trying to drag this out or make it into a bigger deal. Both just want to continue DnD’ing

 

[VashTheStampede]

This isn't how I'm going to be spending my day off.

 

[VashTheStampede]

It is very clear to me that shortkut doesn't want there to be any animosity. He is learning how to do this and doesn't mean any harm.

He wants to move past this because having friction among the team is not appealing to him.

Forcing him to play a game where that friction exists is on the same level as him posting the actions of another player's character.

shortkut: please don't make assumptions as to what other characters do or feel

TD: please keep in mind that kut doesn't mean any harm and is trying to cater his play to other's styles and that's not an easy thing to do

We all have boundaries that have to be respected.

One of my boundaries is that we all remain kind and respectful to each other as we try and work shit out. This is a cooperative game.

If we cannot do that, this game is untenable and I've been wasting my time.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Vash said it very eloquently

I was never trying to force you to write a story about Dude and Kutshort. I would have been happy if we did the equivalent a fade to black with their audio being unintelligible. I also didnt want to rob you of the chance for your character development. If there were things you wanted Dude to say out loud, then I was going to let you.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Not an always agree to be frolicking.

I want you to have the freedom to play your character how you want. I’m very flexible with how I’m playing Kutshort, so if you want to take Dude in a particular direction, do it. Kutshort’s responses don’t matter too much. You can ask me some questions here to gauge which way Kutshort would lean if you’re hesitant to make decisions for me.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Oh gosh I would love to be totally hands off of that shit.

I love doing it as a player but never as a DM.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Most characters will start with some amount of gold. Less so if they outfitted their character with weapons and armor that didn't come as part of their class selection.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’ve been maintaining the currency I have accurately in Beyond. I haven’t read Vash’s post in the campaign, but I can do the math for the copper and silver to divide it evenly, especially since I never used any of that, if that’s what’s required

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

 

[Kutshort Yes]

More like this:

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Also, I updated my currency with the silver/copper split. If I need to update it again, let me know

 

[VashTheStampede]

We should probably tag @GwJumpman then

That would truly be one hell of a gif.

Not one that I'm sure I would actually want to see, but... maybe you can take one for the team and locate all the same.

I am happy to find the strangest things, but alas, even the internet doesn't have anything like that... So I'm sad.

Closest thing I found was a cat peeing on a camera... which is amusing.

Spoiler: Cat peeing on camera, you've been warned.

I am:

- Saddened
- Horrified
- Amused
- Repulsed
- Eager to see more ill-advised internet scouring



And no that hidden message wasn't intentional, but boy is it fucking on point so I'mma leave it. Some things are just meant to be.

I think it best I leave it to someone else. I find... some very inappropriate things.

Oh shit, sorry! Sorry! T'anks is supposed to be the drunk one, not me. I didn't realize Jumpy snuck in on me.

And we just...

 

[Zesty Zapcrackle]

TD brain and what I found but will not share because I cannot share it in good conscience.

You have been warned. Read at your own peril.

Spoiler

So it started by looking for a cat chasing it's own pee...
No dice. Results gave some other terms.

So I started looking for a cat spraying and running in circles...
No dice. Again, found more terms.

So I started looking for a cat... squirting and running in circles.

Sifting through nonsense, I come across page 17 or so of the search results and find...

Second layer. You've been warned.

Spoiler

An obscure forum with a post titled "Man makes pussy squirt all over". Me being the thirsty bitch I am was like, sure, why not?

I'LL TELL YOU WHY NOT.
THE PUSSY WAS A CAT.

I cannot ever clean my brain and there is not enough weed in the world to forget this.

yes...

 

[T'anks]

Absolutely!

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Which hopefully in no way involves Klarg's head flying through the air.

Now Kutshort will be disappointed if Dude doesn’t use it as a prop if he sings about Klarg’s demise, or juggles with it if he sings about something else

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I can't comment on posts beyond my next one.

But anyhow...

TD is typing...
On mobile...
While high...

aka bear with me

Hope you see my post here before you finish posting

[Kutshort Yes]

I already know what I'm doing and if you think that's it then... just, no not at all.

I know, just having fun. Dude has given no indication he uses props, let alone a severed head, or even knows how to juggle

 

[VashTheStampede]

I was hoping for a Gallagher routine with the head

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Fuck, Vash. Wow.

[T'anks]

I'm fine with @VashTheStampede starting us off with the audience and such doing their thing.

Thankfully Dude made sure T'anks was nice and sober before singing in riddles and rhymes.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Kutshort out here already jumping on one of the parts he figured out and resolving it.



I'll respond later when Vash and party have added whatever they wanted.

Unless you were too subtle, I didn’t catch any references to needing to wait for Sildar to help you after Klarg’s defeat. Are we just chalking that up to new playeritis? I thought with the battle over, you just auto-regained consciousness with 1 hp and was wondering why you didn’t take any actions other for a bit. During the battle I was prepared for a medicine check on you, until Klarg was described as near defeated, so I went for the killing blow so you wouldn’t need to keep doing death save rolls

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I know Kutshort did things, but I'll wait to see if @GwJumpman or @Raine want to do anything before I post again.

Yeah, Kutshort’s action takes place whenever it fits best in the sacred timelines

 

[T'anks]

Well at least it wasn't a nat1 and she hallucinates that there's a bear inside the building, I suppose.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Nat1: she missed the entire performance and Dude is hurt

 

[T'anks]

Nat1: she missed the entire performance and Dude is hurt

In her effort to watch the show, she fell off the chair and knocked herself out! And so ends the night of debauchery before it even starts.

 

[T'anks]

Hmm, I felt a brief disturbance in the force there. I couldn't possibly imagine what happened.

We're not even playing wolf today!
