Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[Kutshort Yes]

Hm. I'm not near my books right now so this is all from memory so it may not be accurate.

I don't think Arcane Trickster rogues get access to Speak With Animals, but I could be wrong.

If you take the Magic Initiate feat, I think you can choose it from the Bard or Druid's spell list.

There's a high level Druid/Bard spell called Awaken that would give a wolf the ability to speak 1 language of your choosing. But that's a 5th level spell (not the same as being level 5) and costs something like 500-1000g to cast.

Is g the currency or does it mean something else?

If so, wow there's spells that cost currency?

It requires a gem worth that much as a focus for the spell.

Personally I'm cool with just deducting that much money from your character and saying that you obviously purchased one at some point, rather than make spell casters spend so much time scavenging and purchasing spell materials.

 

[VashTheStampede]

(Though if you want to do that kind of shopping/scavenging in person I'm 100% cool with that too)

 

[TD]

I'm assuming by the time we get to level 5, 500g isn't as daunting as it sounds in the current state.

...right?

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Some spells need materials to cast. Example below. A lot of spells its something simple and Vash will just let you take the cost out of your money pile to keep from having to shop or look for the stuff all the time. Spells like revive that bring people back from the dead. Are expensive. Like you need a big diamond expensive.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Again, level 5 != 5th level spell

I can go into more detail later

 

[TD]

I'm trying to keep as much "in character" as I feasibly can. I'm enjoying immersing myself in this character.

You have no spells right now that need materials. Yours are all verbal and/or semantic (hand movements).

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

And if you guys didn't realize you can add a customized text to your spells to help describe what they look like. This one is my favorite I did for Cookie.

 

[TD]

Yay! One thing to not keep an eye on..

For now.

I did not!

I know what I'm doing when I get some down time.

There's a whole thing about a lot of wizards being broke or being thieves because of the material costs.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

@VashTheStampede is this the spell you were thinking of?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Yeah thats the low level way

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Yeah thats the low level way

Damn… I was hoping for something more permanent even if it could only be used with Hopper

 

[T'anks]

There's going to be so much artistic license tonight, I can feel it.

There's a whole thing about a lot of wizards being broke or being thieves because of the material costs.

That whole thing about Bard scrolls in FFXI from before?

Yeah that's this. Every mage (or job that could use spells, period) had huge costs or time sinks required to gain the scrolls and learn their spells. My best friend sold her pants to afford the scroll for Cure, so her White Mage could... actually do anything.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’m fine waiting for the quest to progress, but what I’m not fine waiting for, is confirmation that I’m getting a wolf friend.

I’m already getting things ready for him, and I don’t want my heart to break

 

[VashTheStampede]

Better get them dice warmed up and ready then

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Better get them dice warmed up and ready then

But i….

Roll for animal handling +1


Edit: woah, nat 20!

 

[Kutshort Yes]

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Can I take all the wolves or just hopper?

 

[VashTheStampede]

would make my life a lot simpler to only have to account for one...

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Kutshort going to walk into every town with a pack of wolves. This will go over well.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

would make my life a lot simpler to only have to account for one...

How about hopper stays with me and the other 2 stay back unless we need them… or the other two just help us clear this cave of goblins?

 

[VashTheStampede]

I mean...you can try and do whatever you wish, and we'll let fate and the dice decide how things play out.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

If I have to roll again, I’ll pass. I used all my luck to get Hopper

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

((@Ben need a new image of me and the pupper))

Of the wolf chewing on his wooden leg!

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Of the wolf chewing on his wooden leg!

This works

 

[Kutshort Yes]

@VashTheStampede can the tremors @Raine can create with Thaumaturgy help to clear the rubble? How localized are they or would they be felt by that other goblin

 

[TD]

Perhaps there's a chance T'anks would approach the problem differently.

 

[TD]

Dear dice gods,

 

[VashTheStampede]

Climbing the chimney would be an Athletics check anyway

 

[TD]

 

[T'anks]

With a determined look in her glowing eyes, T'anks begins her ascent, carefully choosing her grips and steadily making her way up the shaft. I should choose my words more carefully. Her companions watch anxiously from below, ready to assist if needed.

Perhaps there's a chance T'anks would approach the problem differently.

 

[TD]

Well hopefully the chimney needs a 9.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

((Yes but Vash gave you the "you're right you know" to it's rubble, already confirming that part, I'm going to go back to the OOC tavern for OOC chat, just wanted to throw it out there))

I said that because my perception check was so low, and I thought he was just agreeing that it was not high enough to get actual information

 

[TD]

I interpreted that as him just telling you that you were correct and that the perception check was likely not needed for something visibly in front of you. I believe he's using reactions to answer "simpler" questions or statements.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I guess we just need to wait and see if Dragmire can get through and what he sees once in the other side

 

[TD]

And what T'anks and Dude are up to.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

And what T'anks and Dude are up to.

T’anks is chilling with me, ready to snipe the goblin if I need to go with Dragmire

Dude is busy training for the Olympics

 

[TD]

 

[Kutshort Yes]

@VashTheStampede is what I just did okay for pacing or should I wait for the result of @GwJumpman ’s roll first? I’m not trying to overstep, just trying to help it flow on the forums

 

[TD]

I'm gonna go with: you jinxed Dragmire and Kutshort by assuming Dragmire may fail before he rolled.

Dice gods are vengeful. I would know.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I thought they would give him a good roll just to spite my preparedness

 

[Kutshort Yes]

In retrospect, I cannot be mad at the dice gods. Because of them, I have a wolf buddy

@VashTheStampede can I instruct Hopper to stealthily approach the goblin and bite off his head?

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

So stealth isn't always just about the person being stealthy. It is a factor against other creatures perceptions. I believe perseption is based on wisdom.

 

[TD]

@VashTheStampede

Can you help me understand more what ten minutes of D&D roughly translates to?

 

[VashTheStampede]

They say the average combat encounter lasts 3-4 rounds, though in my experience its closer to 6-7 rounds. Each round of combat lasts roughly 6 seconds of in-game time.

So a combat encounter lasts just under a minute, typically.

You could be in that shaft while the rest of the team has a few combat encounters.
