Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[TD]

Dude personally can't wait to fight the lover of T'anks who is bigger and stronger.

 

[T'anks Kiraine]

It's all relative! I was thinking more:



And less "What if it was Gregor Clegane but meaner and with more hair?!"

 

[TD]

Dude may or may not be trying so hard not to smirk at this moment - his ability to bite his tongue at being called "man turtle" twice is impressive.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I didn’t know you had a type

Shoe's definitely on the other foot with that one, methinks!

Man, girl's outta her goddamn mind.

 

[TD]

...maybe, maybe not.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Dude, trying his hardest not to cringe, smirk, laugh, or comment continues to observe the situation to see where he heads... ready to step in if needed.

Dude prepares to step in front of T'anks should Klarg threaten her with violence.

@Christina maybe is not a villain origin story, maybe it’s a blossoming love story

 

[TD]

It's a good thing I have a knack for simplicity, eh?

 

[T'anks Kiraine]

I'm a big fan of tortured, broken characters.


I assume this module doesn't end until at least after Cragmaw Castle gets cleared, however far away that is. But I'm super curious how much we've fucked this up and gone off the rails from where it should've gone - with or without the mid-campaign T'anks swap.

I’m sure we’re hitting the checkpoints, we’re just off-roading instead of staying on the track

 

[TD]

I'd say it's going swimmingly.

...can't close out this chapter without learning something about Dude, though.

I’ve learned he loves wolves… when they are grilled

I’ve also learned that Kutshort means enough to him that he will not try to eat Hopper out of respect for Kutshort

 

[TD]

These two statements would be accurate.

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

Just a reminder. Cookie is available for weddings.

 

[TD]

We'll see how T'anks feels about Dude should he get his monologue...

 

[T'anks Kiraine]

"Get?"

Bish please, we take detours and sometimes ask for forgiveness after 'round these parts!

Besides if this is a villain origin story it's obligatory to stop at least once a battle, in the middle of the battle, and monologue. It is known.

If this doesn't end in tragedy I will be very disappointed!

 

[TD]

It's a good thing Dude hasn't stopped any battles.

 

[T'anks Kiraine]

Does he get a half point for that since it wasn't a full monologue?

Are there points?? Who's keeping the score? This is crucial information for future chapters, I can feel it in my bones!

 

[Cookie Sweetmead]

 

[T'anks Kiraine]

...

I have legitimately never thought about or considered this before.

I am now deeply, utterly disturbed and do not know what to do with this information.

maybe that was going to be a monologue ..

that was postponed

Someone who gets the Tortle way.

 

[TD]

...or maybe there will be no monologue.

 

[TD]

The dice have spoken.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

The dice have spoken.

It’s a good thing Dude and T’anks go before me, because if Klarg doesn’t follow you into the trap you laid, I’m going to attack something

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Kutshort steals a FROG statue...

Dude: My people...

In my mind it looks like Frog from Chrono Trigger and one of its magical abilities we will discover later, is the ability to play the frog theme

[TD]

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Maybe I’ll roll a stealth role high enough to check the boxes behind the goblins while you distract them. Kutshort gets antsy waiting while other people are talking

Dude remembers when Kutshort interrupted his upcoming monologue...

The dice gods have answered Dude's prayers.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I had a thought: @VashTheStampede how high are the ceilings and how tall are the goblins?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Just wondering aloud how much pilfering I can do before any action starts.

Does anyone know if goblins are more perceptive than snakes?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

 

[TD]

Everyone: Ready to start fighting!
Kutshort: Hold on can I loot everything BEFORE we fight?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Everyone: Ready to start fighting!
Kutshort: Hold on can I loot everything BEFORE we fight?

Just while you’re monologuing. Once you finish, I’ll join in the fracas

 

[TD]

Looks like we'll have to wait for tomorrow*.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Looks like we'll have to wait for tomorrow*.

Do some quick math… what would I have to roll, assuming the ceiling is high enough, to just groot my way along the ceiling and down the wall south of the boxes while you talk?

 

[TD]

I don't know how your Groot fuckery works. That's for you and our DM to figure out lol

 

[TD]

...so...

Do y'all think Dude is more a villain.. or a hero?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

...so...

Do y'all think Dude is more a villain.. or a hero?

 

[T'anks Kiraine]

Hypothetically before or after he lobbed off the Goblin head and threw it at T'anks?

 

[TD]

Well THAT'S already happened..

Had to get creative to test her loyalties, y'know.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Throwing the goblin head was the DnD equivalent of pulling her braids and then pushing her in the mud

Dude figured one of two things would happen:

Either:

a) She would be disgusted and let it fall to the ground
b) She would catch it and ???

That one was answered.

[Kutshort Yes]

Maybe I should multi class as a bard

Tortle Dude and T’anks
Walking in a cave
T-A-L-K-I-N-G
First comes gobby
Then comes Klarg
Then comes Kutshort stealing precious frogs

 

[TD]

It's starting to feel like there's a group rooting for a Dude/T'anks lovestory amongst us.

No clue how I came to that conclusion.
