[Kutshort Yes]

(Birds of Prey is my favorite DCU movie)

Good choice

 

[VashTheStampede]

OUATIH is my favorite Tarantino movie

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

That movie does not get enough love

 

[VashTheStampede]

That movie does not get enough love

I know you mean Birds of Prey but it goes for both

 

[TD]

(Birds of Prey is my favorite DCU movie)

Agreed, pretty easy choice for me too actually

 

[VashTheStampede]

The James Gunn Suicide Squad is the only other one in the running for me I think

 

[Kutshort Yes]

The James Gunn Suicide Squad is the only other one in the running for me I think

I was thinking the same thing. Those are the only two movies to have character

 

[VashTheStampede]

The first Shazam has some flashes but fell short

 

[Kutshort Yes]

The first Shazam has some flashes but fell short

Yeah.

The DCAMU is really good and obviously the dcau/Timmverse is great

 

[TD]

I watched that shit high as a kite when I saw it...

What a ride.

Also I actually love the Peacemaker series and I'm not even really a Cena fan.

 

[Dragmire]

He’s the duck tape guy. He hangs back and when need a solution, he can fix anything

Hey look, buddy. I'm a Warlock, that means I solve problems. Not problems like "How could I escape the Astral Plane?", 'cause that would fall within the purview of your conundrums of philosophy. I solve practical problems! For instance, how am I gonna stop some big mean Hobgoblin from tearin' me a structurally superfluous new behind?

The answer? Use Eldritch Blast.

And if that don't work, use more Eldritch Blast.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Need to finish Peacemaker. Was really enjoying it.

 

[TD]

I was skeptical through the first couple episodes but then binged it in one day because boy does it pick up.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I stopped about halfway through season 1 because @Cole talked me into watching supernatural. I just finished the series, so I’ll need another show to watch. I can either go back to Peacemaker or watch MacGyver

 

[TD]

I couldn't get into Supernatural but admittedly I'm not a big tv guy. I love movies though.

 

[TD]

Well now I think I'm going to rewatch Birds of Prey because a) we talked about it, b) I'm high, and c) Margot fucking Robbie

 

[TD]

Dude at a young age working on that bootylicious state.

 

[T'anks]

Yup. This is my life now.

Roll high against the party, roll absolute garbo in world building.

Praying to RNGesus battles go quickly so I ain't gotta roll much!

 

[TD]

Another way to look at it is if you just trusted the party, those high rolls may have still existed for this situation.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

 

[TD]

This ain't our first goblin battle.

Yeah, we entered it with 4 adventurers and left with 3 but that's not even the point.

Besides, Dragmire will clean up after us.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Is it wrong that I’m expecting @GwJumpman to use eldritch blast like yondu’s yaka arrow and kill the goblins before we even enter the cave?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Besides, Dragmire will clean up after us.

Get out of my head!

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Testing

 

[T'anks]

I mean let's be honest here.

If we were proper villains we would just close off the mouth of the cave for a couple days. Eldritch Blast back in, merrily loot all the goods, and be back on our way within the week!

...What? If you're gonna META, then META dammit.

 

[TD]

Well you're not Dragmire.

I meta'd without really thinking of that, cursed everything, and Tubby vanished. Also my dice rolls are always trash and I keep falling into traps.

D&D will curse meta gamers.

I actually thought about that, but we need to save those guys so we can get the map and start the real adventure…. Also we don’t know the results of your check for other avenues of ingress and egress, so collapsing the mouth of the cave might work if we want to sneak in elsewhere and back them into a corner… legit suggestion here I think

 

[TD]

Another suggestion:

Tortle Dude can just walk right in and all the goblin swings will bounce right off his shell again.

 

[T'anks]

So what are the odds of my 1 being the opposite of Jedi Mind Control... and just summoning a Goblin boss from nothing?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

That might make things easier . We have Dragmire waiting in the wings with Eldritch Blast

right next to dude as he bathes

He can be your rubber ducky!

 

[Nac McWeeble]

Why am I imagining Tortle Dude singing with the voice of Johnny Cash?

I always pictured more like Waylon Jennings

Vash giving me eyes on my initiative roll.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Vash giving me eyes on my initiative roll.

Nah, just letting you know that I received your result

 

[TD]

 

[TD]

although I was last to act after all goblins in our first fight so I might be in danger

 

[T'anks]

I mean proximity-wise I think the character with the lowest HP and tied for lowest armor is probably closest. So you'll probably be fiiine~

Just remember, it's not about being the fastest. It's about tripping someone else so you're not the slowest.

 

[TD]

Are you the closest?

I realize I have no idea where anyone is proximity wise.

And stupid Dude has to run back to get the shit he left for his little bath.

Also it's clear who the weakest roller here is...

Also, not sure if he gets notifications but...

@GwJumpman
We're moving again.

 

[T'anks]

Are you the closest?

I realize I have no idea where anyone is proximity wise.

Assuming I'm not being too directionally challenged, I believe so. You should be reasonably far off to the west, in the stream. shortkut should be some distance north coming down from the mouth of the cave. And Jumpy should be somewhat um... somewhere. Little bit of leeway on that one depending on how far from the cave we were when we paused and started doing checks.

Either way some rolls are probably gonna need doing Soon™. Possibly of the saving variety.

 

[T'anks]

Well, that does assume the map here doesn't work on the same scale as the map in the ambush battle. If it does then I definitely dunno where anything or anyone is.

Goblin Boss

 

[TD]

They count as difficult terrain for movement, and provide three-quarters cover to creatures being attacked through them.

Where can I find out what both of these things mean?
