Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[TD]

Klarg and 17 goblins.

Spoiler

 

[Nac McWeeble]

Dudezilla!

 

[T'anks]

...Wait there's a chance the Goblin actually have lettuce?!

If they have lettuce, will Dude hate them marginally less?

 

[TD]

 

[T'anks]

...Nevermind.

Could be worse, could've rolled a 1 and found Goblin Dung instead.

 

[TD]

could be worse she says

Dude takes his next action

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Dude drops to his knees, clawing through the cave moss. No, there's no lettuce. Dude hears T'anks' voice ringing in his ears that she has a plan, now what. Dude really thought there might've been lettuce this time. He walks over to the corpse of Gobbo.

Dude lets out a sharp whistle to get the attention of T'anks.

Dude hoists his sword into the air and brings it crashing down onto Gobbo's neck, decapitating him in a single swing. Dude bends over, picks up Gobbo's head, still dripping with blood. He stares the dead goblin in the eyes, what is going through Dude's head? He turns his gaze to T'anks.

Dude lobs Gobbo's head toward T'anks, waiting to see what she'll do with a goblin head floating through the air at her...

(( @Raine ))

I'm sorry how is this not a villian origin story?

 

[TD]

 

[Kutshort Yes]

My plan has lots of chaos

 

[TD]

My plan has lots of chaos

...why not both?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

...why not both?

My plan first then you and T’anks can go into Klarg’s chamber

 

[TD]

Unlikely you can convince Dude of that with the current situation between him and T'anks.

...besides, hypothetically, there's value in keeping it in tact... for now.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

so Dude is voting for less chaos?

 

[TD]

Who says it's less chaos?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Who says it's less chaos?

Her method looks like drama, but not chaos.

Think of how badass it would be to stroll in after setting off his traps

 

[TD]

Or y'know, we lure Klarg out to you two into the trap.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Since when do bosses move out of the area if the boss fight?

 

[TD]

Have we ever tried?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Have we ever tried?

@VashTheStampede how video gamey is this and is the next room like a load screen?

 

[T'anks]

...So.

Gentlemen.

Are there any more jokes you'd like to make about poor T'anks so I can go and make them canon?

Fuckin' minor Gobbie Queen o'er 'ere.

I'm - me, not T'anks lol - under the distinct impression the trap is designed to flush the cave? Theoretically should apply to Klarg and whatever Goblin are in his chamber, the same way it would have presumably applied to the party.

If it just makes it harder to move (like there isn't a swift deluge of water), well... that's less helpful. But also less harmful for most of the party. Maybe, possibly. inb4 Klarg knows Lightning Magic or something.

Decisions, decisions!

I'll be back in like ~2 hours, standard Saturday evening grocery trip. Have fun~

 

[VashTheStampede]

@VashTheStampede how video gamey is this and is the next room like a load screen?

It's not a load screen.

Also there is no mist door indicating a "boss room".

 

[TD]

Fuckin' minor Gobbie Queen o'er 'ere.

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[TD]

...I know my eyes should be drawn to the nodding guy but they weren't.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’m ready, don’t care what happens

 

[VashTheStampede]

 

[TD]

Well we now got a cliffhanger waiting on T'anks to respond.

I suspect with Jump saying earlier he's not a big rper, he'll be fine with whatever.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

he'll be fine with whatever.

As long as he can eldritch blast someone or something, he’ll be fine

 

[T'anks]

Just pretend she nodded or something!

And out the door I go for real this time (finally, look this is a two-woman household shit happens!)

 

[TD]

But if T'anks nods then we still gotta wait her to try to talk to Klarg.

The only question is - is everyone else going to wait just outside of the chamber for possibilities* or are we all piling in?

Can't speak to what other characters would do.

That depends on what T’anks is hoping will happen. It sounds like Klarg has 2 ways out, the chimney and the room we're in.

@VashTheStampede if I rub one out, would it be easier for me to climb the chimney? Could we time it so I climb up the chimney when T’anks and Dude walk in from our current chamber?

 

[TD]

That depends on what T’anks is hoping will happen.

My interpretation is that T'anks is hoping to talk down Klarg so it doesn't turn to violence.

...or she might be about to turn on us.

Dude as a character is considering it as option 1 because of what T'anks has said.

Kutshort is thinking of a contingency plan

 

[TD]

Protect Dragmire at all costs.

I think a Kutshort/Dragmire convo makes a lot of sense what with Dude standing an inch from T'anks waiting for a response. lol

 

[T'anks]

My Lore Rolls have truly been on point, lemme tell ya.

 

[TD]

Dude: sings a song about making a deal with the devil to bring back someone who looks like a devil

Dude after a long sleep: makes a deal with someone who looks a devil

 

[Kutshort Yes]

[T'anks]

Looking at that map... uh. UHHH.

Depending on how much water is flowing from the waterfall (the bit on the right), and where the break is... you could conceivably flood the main tunnel where the stream is or Klarg's chamber. But... in the latter, would not the rope bridge also have a decent amount of water running towards it?

We're going to watch a movie, so um... you've got time to make up your minds.

 

[TD]

 

[TD]

We just somehow arrived at Klarg in really good shape and there's a chance we might drown ourselves first.

I'm not sure if Vash would laugh or cry.
...or maybe both at the same time.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’m hoping it floods Klarg’s chamber, but I think you’re underestimating how high 20ft is and how much water could fit under it

 

[TD]

You think Klarg built a water trap to flood out unwanted people... aimed at his own chamber?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Anyway, my preferred plan now is for me to use my groot chant to scale the chimney so I can get behind Klarg while you and T’anks enter from the north

 

[TD]

I mean.. given it would've taken ten minutes to climb up that chimney itself and we're now basically there - I'd think it's too far away to be viable, but I could be wrong.

 

[TD]

Should've gotten teleportation powers instead of Groot legs lol

 

[Kutshort Yes]

That’s why I’m waiting for @VashTheStampede to respond if my groot powers will make it faster to climb. I figure by the time T’anks is done monologuing, I will be up the chimney

 

[TD]

Dude & Dragmire at the same time:
LET'S LURE HIM INTO A TRAP

It's the love of wolf meat that connects us.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Great plan

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Anyway, I think I should prevent his means of retreat if I can climb the chimney easily

 

[T'anks]

I'm back! ...And I feel like we might be further away from a consensus now? Or closer? Maybe both? At the same time??

I'm confused!
