[TD]

[T'anks]

inb4 Klarg throws a javelin at him anyway.

 

[TD]

Gooblin also exists.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

 

[TD]

How it started: Elaborate draw out and trap plan
How it ended: Everybody rush in!

 

[TD]

@VashTheStampede
Can I get a map update?

 

[TD]

So I should do Heroism again?

Right?

jk

I am torn on two ideas but I'll figure it out as I write.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I gotta say, no matter how this last bit shakes out, I think this has been one of the most fun and most memorable first chapters of a campaign I've been involved in.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I’m having a blast

I love to hear that! I hoped as our DM you've been having fun.

I gotta say, I am absolutely loving this and it's also been an amazing/fun distraction from "real life".

 

[Kutshort Yes]

It’s like a tv show that releases weekly. When we’re playing, I want to binge more and not stop, but needing to wait, increases the excitement and anticipation.

 

[TD]

 

[TD]

Yessss Faerie Fire worked.

...now Dude just needs to stay concentrated... what could go wrong?

 

[TD]

I just thought of something that might happen and I wish I could unthink it lmao.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

@VashTheStampede have I mentioned how much I absolutely love that each time Hopper has a turn, you mention his connection with Kutshort?

 

[TD]

Vash's storytelling as a whole is pretty impeccable, you can tell he's really paying attention to what matters to our respective characters.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

definitely. I honestly cannot tell if any of the history between T’anks and Klarg and the goblins in general was discussed between @Raine and @VashTheStampede because of how seamlessly he weaves it into his world building

 

[TD]

I sure hope my theory is wrong.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I sure hope my theory is wrong.

As long as Hopper survives, it will all be okay

 

[TD]

My theory would mean...

Spoiler

It’s unlikely anyone survives.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

It’s unlikely anyone survives.

 

[TD]

I hope I am. I have a tendency to read things carefully and I have a propensity to look for foreshadowing although it could be misdirection...

 

[Kutshort Yes]

We control our destiny (technically the dice do, but that’s besides the point) so share the details of your ominous foreboding so we can prevent it

(in before it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy)

 

[TD]

Fine.

Spoiler: My theory

The goblins we safely let leave the cavern are going to come back, assuming Klarg is taken care of and ambush us while we've depleted our spells and inspirations. We won't be ready and we'll all die.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

We can flush them out with the trap we had for Klarg, if we decide to kill him instead of giving him a bath

I spent three minutes doings this, which was two minutes too long lol

...better than what I've been spending far too long doing.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Wash your hands

 

[TD]

Wash your hands

Maybe I prefer to be dirty.

 

[Nac McWeeble]

Meanwhile in our campaign my character just full-on kissed a Merrow on the lips. due to a double nat1 headbutt attempt.

 

[TD]

What the heck is a Merrow.
Do I want to know?

 

[Kutshort Yes]

What the heck is a Merrow.
Do I want to know?

You haven’t been reading the other campaigns? They’re good too and give some ideas on things we can do

That merrow is a fish man named Carl

I was prior to this week but haven't been keeping up with them recently. I'll take a peek at some point.

 

[Nac McWeeble]

A Merrow is like a fishman creature.
And Carl is a fucking asshole.

 

[T'anks]

That's what the thing @Ben posted was:

 

[Dungeon Master]

That's what the thing @Ben posted was:

Those two were concepts. Merrow shouldn't have any legs, but that's hard to get AI to do at times.

But yes, they're merfolk who millenia ago found a relic of Demogorgon and began worshipping it, eventually preforming a ritual through merfolk murder, mermurder.

They opened a portal to The Prince of Demons realm and went through. Then over time, fighting for their lives in a demon realm turned them into monsters with more reptilian features.

But yeah Carl is an asshole. A misunderstood asshole.

 

[TD]

But yeah Carl is an asshole. A misunderstood asshole.

Hey look - Carl and I have something in common.

 

[VashTheStampede]

That's what the thing @Ben posted was:

Serious "the name of the space messiah 10000 years in the future is Paul" vibes in this dude being Carl

I dig it a lot

 

[Dungeon Master]

This is basically how my Merrow fell out as looking.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Dragmire, emboldened by the Gambler's Fallacy, is convinced that he has accumulated enough positive luck in reserve through all his failed attempts at landing an Eldritch Blast.

I live my life by the Gambler's Fallacy. 50% of the time it works out pretty good for me.

It always comes out in my favor if I keep gambling till I win >:]

 

[TD]

Faerie Fire already paying off?

 

[Dragmire]

Faerie Fire already paying off?

I had no idea Faerie Fire even interacted with giving Advantage. I dunno if I've ever voluntarily taken that spell, that's not a bad effect

 

[TD]

Picking my spells as a newcomer to D&D when you're not familiar with terminology was challenging, overwhelming, but also fun.

There really is such a diverse selection.

Luckily a lot of D&D spells were absorbed into other RPG games, so you're probably familiar with a lot of them by osmosis.

Faerie Fire is a spell in WoW, for instance. Does the same thing basically, and stops rogues/druids being able to enter stealth.
