For posterity:

 

[TD]

I stand by this:

Dragmire is... shit I don't know, Yuffie - the fun one that you just want around.

[VashTheStampede]

I ordered a 4k steelbook of Army of Darkness and it finally shipped!

 

[T'anks]

DON'T WORRY GUYS I HAVE MY EMERGENCY SNAKESKINTONGUE COMFORT QUILT

 

[T'anks]

Oh hey I rolled something nice.

Boy that would have been good on the whole being stealthy part huh?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Next time I go first

 

[T'anks]

@VashTheStampede rules of engagement for us rookie plebs, Cap'n'. Traditionally does D&D have, like, rescue and escort missions? I.e., will the two bosses attack the captive before they're untied?

Exactly how many eggs must be broken here.

(And all the more reason my beautiful, Wonderful Idea™ may have been more awesome if it worked. )

 

[VashTheStampede]

Rescue and escort situations are definitely possible in D&D. The plus side is that you're not typically grappling with horrendous AI. NPCs (good and bad) are legitimate characters in their own right and will act in ways that make sense for their situation.

In this particular situation the NPC is bound and the goblins seem like they've been torturing him...possibly for fun or possibly for other reasons.

There's no big glaring OBJECTIVE that you're trying to complete, not really a binary situation like a video game.

I'm not sure I'm making a lot of sense but I'm trying to answer the question without ruining the story, if that makes sense.

Perfectly understood!

You want me to take the whole crate of eggs and throw them into the campfire.

I. Can. Do. That!

...Maybe. I need to consult Google so Kutshort can steal my thunder again.

 

[TD]

What the fuck did I just come back to?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Maybe you rescue the hostage and Hopper and I start taking out some gobbies

 

[Kutshort Yes]

What the fuck did I just come back to?

We let @Raine take the lead

 

[TD]

Yeah and it was Kutshort's wise idea to take the snake path to start - we are a collective failure that is about to get massacred.

 

[T'anks]

Technically you didn't let T'anks do anything she just waltzed off because there was too much talking about walking instead of walking and talking.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Yeah and it was Kutshort's wise idea to take the snake path to start - we are a collective failure that is about to get massacred.

Not me!

 

[T'anks]

Anyway there are like 7 enemies trained on T'anks so the logical thing to do...

 

[TD]

Lmfao.

Roll a nat100 in the stupid 69 game.
Roll a 2 for Iniative. It begins again.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Lmfao.

Roll a nat100 in the stupid 69 game.
Roll a 2 for Iniative. It begins again.

Next time roll d100 for initiative

 

[TD]

If I did this is what would happen.

 

[TD]

Well there it is, everyone is going to be dead before it's my turn.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I wonder if we should cast bardic inspiration on hopper

 

[Short Order]

Well there it is, everyone is going to be dead before it's my turn.

 

[T'anks]

It'll be fiiine.

Unless Vash decides he wants me to get a badge.

Or I roll really, really low again.

Or both! Why not both.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I wonder if we should cast bardic inspiration on hopper

@VashTheStampede what actions is Hopper capable of? What is his damage or utility potential?

 

[VashTheStampede]

Sitting down for movie night right now but I'll post his stat block before combat begins.

 

[TD]

It'll be fiiine.

Tortle Dude has a Healing Word left...
Just sayin'.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Tortle Dude has a Healing Word left...
Just sayin'.

Might be good to use on the captive human if he can assist in the fighting

 

[TD]

Might be good to use on the captive human if he can assist in the fighting

Might also be good for Dude to save himself.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Might also be good for Dude to save himself.

Just hide in your shell

 

[T'anks]

Maybe some enemies rolled lower than 4!

"Who needs Constitution in a game full of combat, anyway?" - Me, apparently.

 

[TD]

Also,

Dude and Dragmire just sitting romantically together in the darkness only lit by Dude's sword. Kinda cute.

 

[TD]

Just hide in your shell

Dude will do what Dude is gonna do when there's goblins involved.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Dude will do what Dude is gonna do when there's goblins involved.

Take a lot of damage?

 

[T'anks]

I mean this is more of a Tiefling thing...

Unfortunately I don't think I can do that and also the other things (S! Plural!) that need doing all at the same time.

NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG

 

[TD]

Oh I'm sorry but did you miss when the one goblin literally ran away in fear from Tortle Dude because his boss couldn't do a damn thing to Dude?

Dude doesn't take damage.


...or deal it usually.

T'anks is gonna do what she's gonna do and I'm intrigued.

 

[T'anks]

22!
20!
19!
...a horde of angry monsters!

Dude: I rolled a 4. Deuces!

 

[TD]

...and Dude is already just chilling wayyyy back there.

7 goblins, the three of you, and the wolf will all likely act before Dude.

 

[TD]

It's also important to realize I shouted TPK while rolling said 4.

 

[T'anks]

You know what sucks?

If my beefy turtle tank was closer this entire encounter would be trivial.

Alas.

I am the tank now!

 

[TD]

Is that flattery of Dude?

And weren't you always...
T'anks?

 

[TD]

...but let's not forget Dude's foresight healing T'anks to full HP because he expected something like this to happen.

 

[T'anks]

And weren't you always...
T'anks?

Oh that's right, you probably wouldn't know!

Her name is a cheeky play on something. I'll give you a little while to figure it out!

 

[TD]

Oh no do I need to go google things.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Thanks Raine?

 

[T'anks]

Oh no do I need to go google things.

Hmm... it might help. But you'd have to search in a very, very specific way.

Thanks Raine?

Sorta, but the ki is... uh, key.

Yes I'm going to drag this out for a little while, while taking care of a late dinner lol
