Great work. Here's your experience and don't forget to take all his stuff.
Kill All EM PEOPLE, THEY DOWN WIT THE DEVIL!!!
... oh right, dragons... off I go to meet the Greybe- ooh, a butterfly...

In your defense, it was a LOT of stairs.
... with a bleeding troll on them... seriously, can't count how many characters met their ends by that thing's claws.
Preach.
Been waiting for someone with interest in Giantslayer, not often run. Will get something together for it.
I cannot count the number of thousands of hours I have spent on the Morrowind franchise, love all of the games, but The Elders Scrolls is one of my favourite games of all time having a rare distinctive fantasy setting. Plus I used to love kicking Vivec's ass :)
Fallot 4s DLC Far Harbor has a drink named VIM. As soon as I saw that, I immediately thought CHIM.
This is getting spooky again! What a great and suspenseful AP.
Oh come on now Infinity.... everyone knows that users delay updates until they are forced down their throats... even tech backwards people like Krah would probably view 'version updates' with extreme prejudice. ;)
Link to what I keep thinking of when typing the "Andro" part of Androffan...
Oh, I miss Steven, have not been watching since he switched shows, maybe I need to pick it up. Although for my money Last Week Tonight is the best of these kind of shows by a mile now.
@Krah LOL, I'm pretty much planning on Tarkov going the opposite way with Zael, coming to trust him more, and perhaps see him as a sort of mentor - although more than anything I am playing it by ear. Tarkov's sense motive is rubbish and he is impressed by technical ability. Plus I enjoy the trope of the honourable warrior duped by an evil, but charismatic leader, its not quite on the nose here but, but ballpark.
Remember we do not know what Zael is saying thinking, or his backstory in character, I don't think anything other than his being part of a party of thugs has raised alarms for Tarkov - and that wariness has probably almost gone at this point. If you are changing Krah's behaviour after reading Zael's backstory that seems like you are acting on OOC knowledge IC which I think is generally to be discouraged.
Actually I think that, given Krah's background, a bit of mistrust from him about now might be well earned in truth. The two are quite similar, though neither really know it. Perhaps if Zael's unknown daughter arrives and stirs trouble they might realize just how similar they are (well, Krah might... I doubt Zael will, given she is a stranger to him... short of her actually finding some way to defuze Zael into the two entities that made him anyway) but baring that Zael is kind of the arcitype for a bad memory to Krah, I would wager. True?
Its possible we could end up exploring Tarkov's background/lineage, in the near future, though probably only getting close enough to cause Tarkov mild anxiety. I was mighty surprised to see that we are heading into Black Horse territory if we go to resolve the Ratfolk Raiders issue.
I also know that if I were GM I would be mighty tempted to have Artrioc and Tarkov's on board nanites connected in some way, though likely in a slightly oblique way.
I was hoping to use the ooc information to get a better idea of how Zael is acting and how Krah would react to it. All the tech know-how comes off as suspicious to Krah. Unless Zael rolls a Bluff check for Krah he won't necessarily have any other reason to feel uncomfortable.
True, and it does make sense for Krah to be suspicious of tech.
@Zael His father was an archeologist who got killed by a robot, so yes, Zael's meddling causes him a good deal of anxiety
Yep, you guys all have great characters.
Any kind of knowledge check viable on Wilson? Because he appears to be a ball.
My first nat 20 and its on a knowledge check, kinda fits for Tark though :)
Just posted my Giantslayer recruitment thread BTW, trying an in character recruitment.
Thanks Tarkov. I needed to use that silly magic spell at some point. I hope you like Brin, I need to play a happy go lucky character to balance out Krah's anguished existence.
And the growing divinity of Tess's faith as she becomes engrossed in VENGENACE.... and maybe the other weird things her faith does. Like Wasps. IRL, I hate Wasps.
Alright! We finally found Zael's berserker button: hostile jello!
LoL @Zael. We need to do an inception type dive into your brain so Krah can fist fight that portion of your mind.
Lol, that would amusing... but we would need to bring Tarkov and Tess so that they could play the horns, ;)
So yeah, have to thank you for allowing this turn of events. This has been a hoot to RP. :)
Na, I'm not allowing anything, this kind of stuff is what I consider "the game".
That was pretty solid RP'ing Zael. I wonder what our next slump through Torch will bring.
What do we think about going after the Ratfolk? I am probably inclined to keep hitting the hill until we find Baine given that Val is putting us up, and there is still a small chance he is alive.
I'm definitely game for heading out to the ratfolk problem. I think we need to keep hitting these caverns though until we finally find our man. We don't want him to die on us.
I sort of wish you guys had a scout of some kind...is there any standard item that can work like one?
I could possibly take a dip in something. Maybe ranger.
We could have Jade go off as a scout, given she has effectively dropped at this point...
Well, let me take a peek through the technology guide, bet theres some kind of radar thing
While scouting is a good idea in theory, it often seems to slow the game and leave everyone else twiddling there thumbs, I am pretty happy without one. That said the best readily available none PC scout is probably the figment a stealthy figment familiar, because even if it dies it comes back the next time you rest and it can take the skilled evolution for a massive boost to stealth - I love figment familiars. Plus you can eventually just give the thing a pair of arms for legit use magic device joy, amazing.

Did we find anything else?
If we can manage to scrape together enough for Tarkov's adamantine sword, seems rather doubtful, we could probably use it to cut open the white card box and enter the gremlin door. Otherwise maybe we can find a way to boost Zael's UMD?
The spell Sift is the only thing I've got right now that could aide us in the scouting department. However, I receive a penalty of I believe -4 to Perception checks.
Don't forget the unmovable rod
True, although I think there is an understanding that we cannot sell it, at least not for anything like its usual value.
He attached a lower price and hoped we would keep it. I'd like Krah to keep the necklace.
Sure well we have a system in place, might end up "owing" a bit, but it is in all our interest to keep as much as possible that works for the party - since we get it half price effectively.
Someone should definitely keep the cloak to, Tarkov will if nobody else wants it - but I would prefer to put his share towards his adamantine sword.
Zael will probably insist on hanging onto the rod, at least until he can definitively say that it isn't a piece of some larger mystery down there.
Also pretty sure we had more than just three batteries (3 from the first room with the grippers and ePick, which you also forgot, and then the few with the flashlight).
black e-pick (assume being kept...would be wise)
grippers
If getting through gremlin door is primary reason for adamantine I highly recommend priority change, but I think you want it for other reasons.
Is it the door that you can't unlock until after the Dragon Shout Wall that leads back to the entrance?
Hah, sort of I guess. You guys are very close to finding another way through that door.
... then it fits the bill... pesky little door "barred from the other side" that if you could just OPEN it would save you from going through 3/4 of the dungeon...
Just got a super sledge last night for my fallout 4 berserker. Thought about how funny it'd be to see Krah heaving it around and being pulled by the tiny jet.
More thematic truth be told, I usually don't rate adamantine that highly - but love Golembane Scarabs. But since I am getting it I will be trying to use it as inventively as possible and thinking of most walls and doors as more suggestion than rule ;)
