Discussion Tavern: Sleeping Giant

[T'anks]

But then we would need a new Worf, and it's only the first act!

 

[TD]

A new dead Tortle every chapter.

 

[TD]

If Dude actually dies to Klarg it'll be tragic for reasons no one will ever fully understand.

 

[T'anks]

It'll be fiiine.

We might all be moderately competent at best, but Sildar and Hopper are professionals.

[T'anks]

Fuuuck that, Dude! If you gotta go that high for the thirst, the thirst ain't worth it.

 

[TD]

He's hanging off the edge of a cliff.

 

[T'anks]

With water below, yes! Silver linings and all that. Nevermind the fact that hitting the water from a fraction of that height would already make it be like hitting concrete.

Got to point them toes! Or be Link from Tears of the Kingdom.

 

[TD]

I'm sad I've never gotten to play BotW or TotK and likely never will.

For you:

 

[VashTheStampede]

or maybe I should wait until morning

that would likely be prudent

Coward!

 

[VashTheStampede]

Coward!

 

[TD]

I love that it was Christina.

 

[VashTheStampede]

I really should have made him roll an acrobatics check but its too late now, I'm all a-typin

 

[TD]

oh shit wtf does that mean

 

[Kutshort Yes]

I really should have made him roll an acrobatics check but its too late now, I'm all a-typin

 

[TD]

 

[VashTheStampede]

thank you @Christina for helping me edit that over the top nonsense

 

[VashTheStampede]

I'm going to bed we can clean things up in the morning

 

[TD]

That was a beautiful fucking finish.

Also.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

 

[VashTheStampede]

all told the editing process went pretty well

she left in most of my flowery crap and we just did some minor edits to wording and removed one reference to communism

 

[T'anks]

Somebody that isn't T'anks should probably help poor Dude up before he rolls a Nat1 and dies anyway.

He has to do a 1d4 to determine how many hours he's recuperating for since we don't have magic available, right? I'm like 3% sure I read something like that somewhere at some point over the last couple of weeks.

 

[T'anks]

Also, uh... how do I go about getting this chick a goddamn Rapier? Or I guess a second dagger, but like not sure how well Two-Weapon Fighting and Bardic Inspiration/Healing Word get along.

Or Gold with which to pretend to purchase one? She still has 0 Gold 'cause, uh, I like to make characters suffer. Obviously.

 

[TD]

It's okay Dude could use this nap.

 

[TD]

Oh yeah how dare Dude mangle goblins and throw one of their heads at T'anks!

She sets upon him again in the corner of the room; the bestial creature assaulting him, tearing his flesh to ribbons with fang and claw, is a far cry from the Tiefling girl he knew previously.

Minutes later she returns to the chamber with the others, covered in the blood and tissue of the felled enemy.

Spoiler

Perhaps Dude will be nice enough to purchase one or get one forged for her.

Are blacksmiths a thing?

 

[TD]

Also - I'm acting under the assumption Dude can't do anything until someone does something about his unconscious ass, so I won't post... yet.

I was not in a proper headspace last night and totally fucked this up.

I should not have ended the combat encounter with the removal of all enemies because we still have a character making death saves.

It's a TTRPG not a JRPG. End of active combat does not make everyone fine. The damage has still been done.

Very sorry about dropping the ball there.

 

[TD]

Oh no need to apologize man.

I kind of assumed as much myself which is why I've done nothing.

Meanwhile everyone running around looting and shit while Dude is still out cold.

 

[VashTheStampede]

Thats why I feel bad. They obviously wouldn't have done that if I was clear about the situation. And we could have squeezed more narrative drama out of the situation.

 

[TD]

Maybe Dragmire will do a (Medicine?) check with that left over Inspiration and they can get closer now too.

 

[TD]

It kind of fits their characters anyhow...

T'anks focuses on Klarg.
Kutshort runs around looting again.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

T'anks focuses on Klarg.
Kutshort runs around looting again.

Also, he did shout at Dude to get up. After looting, if he sees Dude is still down on the ground, he’ll come over and do a medicine check

 

[TD]

Dude spins into the underappreciated and forgotten protector character arc.

 

[Kutshort Yes]

Dude spins into the underappreciated and forgotten protector character arc.

Kutshort just killed Klarg for knocking Dude unconscious. He’d never forget Dude. He just got distracted by having the time to loot in peace and didn’t realize how injured Dude still was

Used Dude's own sword to do it for some poetic revenge

That was kut's idea btw

 

[TD]

Dude draws all Klarg's focuses, gets brutally beaten up, gets knocked out twice.

 

[TD]

Vash forgot T'anks' name.

 

[T'anks]

In his defense, he's probably still recovering from last night and reading the name in the quote sounds a little bit like a Bond reference.

Name's Raine, T'anks(ki) Raine.


I tell you what though you got me fucked up if you think I'm approaching Klarg, dead or alive.

 

[TD]

Pft - Klarg is  weak, ain't nothing to be scared of.

 

[T'anks]

Also,

Oh yeah how dare Dude mangle goblins and throw one of their heads at T'anks!
