If you haven't rolled your day job already, please do so now. I have looked over the information and recruitment posted in the original Murder's Mark thread, so no need to repeat a lot of information there.

As a reminder, I'm expecting 2-3 posts per day. The more engaged you are, the more engaged I am.

I will communicate absences and/or delays. I hope for you to do so as well.

I will bot your character when I feel like it is healthy for continuing the game. I will give warning when I feel like I will need to bot characters. Please provide me with tactics in this case.

Please make sure your avatars are unique - I don't want to think all tengu look alike!

profession, scribe: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (9) + 7 = 16

Just got home from a long trip. I might post tonight but probably not

That's the correct information!

I look forward to playing this wild all-Tengu adventure!

Sorry, I forgot to say that yes, that information is correct.

I was just realizing that we're almost an all-divine party. As if being all-Tengu wasn't unusual enough. :D

Information is confirmed. Sorry I did not write it immediately ;)

Yes, DTT - "Divine Tengu Team"! What could be crazier? The troupe of tengu bards? Lol. I'm glad I participate in this game! Thank you, GM! And all good fun, guys!

I ran a game of all monks once. That was pretty amusing.

I'm loving the roleplaying going on. Religious differences within the flock!

I'm sure we'll all come away from this mission with an increased appreciation for other religious viewpoints, and a respect for those who choose other gods.

...Or not.

Yeah, I doubt that'll happen for Dekarin.

I have set up the slide for this game. The information about the carnival is included in the slide, so you'll be able to wander around the carnival as you see fit.

Go ahead and put the icon you want to use on the first page and fill out the box with your initiative information.

Ummm... where's the link to the slide? It's probably somewhere really obvious, but I can't seem to find it.

Linked right above my avatar!

I....have absolutely zero idea how to do anything with that document thing.

I'm not even close to being that good with technology, so someone will have to help me out xD

It is not allowing me to edit anything as well.

Yes, the doc is locked for general editing

I knew it would be somewhere blindingly obvious! XD

I had another answer to this! Hell's Rebels, with a full-Tengu party of Vigilantes!

I fixed it. Sorry, guys!

It's a slide. When we get into combat, I use it for the map for combat - you can move your icon around pretty easily, unless you use a touchscreen (and for that just let me know what you want done). Right now, there's not a lot of info , but there is the map of the carnival and the intro. I like to put handouts, important NPCs and whatnot on this in order to keep all info in one place.

Mind if I use a different picture for my icon? I commissioned a picture for a different Tengu character a little while ago that would work for Takashi.

That'll be great!

Actually, Google Slides is the one maps tool I know of that works alright on touch screens (if you have the Google Slides app)

Should I go full out, Im with the pathfinder society on this one?

We have to explain it somehow. Not sure that's how, but as the truth-telling types I guess it makes sense

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yeah, unfortunately

I don't remember if I'd mentioned before, but Sundays are the one day I won't be around to post.

Thanks for the reminder. My posting is somewhat inconsistent on the weekends. I'm sorry about that - it just tends to be that my habits are messed up and I'm not on a computer constantly.

Today's been a mess - updating will resume tomorrow AM.

Just thought I'd post Gorum's Deific Obedience, as it is quite relevant to this situation, and Dekarin most certainly does it each morning (although not for any benefits yet).

Dress yourself in the heaviest set of metal armor you own. Shout your oath of loyalty to Gorum at the top of your lungs, punctuating each pause for breath by smashing your weapon against a shield or against your armor-clad body. After your oath is done, kneel on one knee with your weapon resting against your shoulder. Recite your victories in battle in a sonorous voice until the time for your obedience is done. If you should be attacked while conducting your obedience, slay the creature who dared test your might.

I think some of us may be overestimating the size of this zoo, too. Though I'm going to laugh if it has a petting zoo and one of us asks Dekarin if he's hunted little lambs before.

Well, there is a FEARSOME BABY DRAGON and TERRIBLE MANTICORE there, but you'll see soon enough ;)

Working on the update now. Thanks for bearing with me :)

Takashi would probably believe someone right now who told him that dragons' wings grow in later. Or that they don't have wings.

So... we have one person who attacked for non-lethal damage, and one person who attacked for lethal damage...

Tchucko should definitely just put it to sleep. :D

Nah. The lethal damage will stack with the non-lethal towards knocking it out.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Yeah, it will. I meant it would be funny for Tchucko to just put it to sleep after we've being going through all the trouble of trying to knock it out.

If it were a life-or-death fight, Takashi would do something here, but... this thing has been singularly ineffective in harming us, and he would have a -1 total to-hit if he tried to attack for nonlethal himself. And he doesn't think just handing out bits of luck is good, in case something else happens today.

There is always a chance for a "natural twenty" ;)

That's true... but this is his first battle, and it seems a safe enough one for him to be seized by indecision for one round. I'm hoping there will be a chance for a contrast when we get to a more serious battle and Takashi finds in himself a courage he didn't know he had. ;)

Yeah...not really sure Dekarin wouldn't kill it even if he did nonlethal (what are the nonlethal rules again?). Besides, nonlethal isn't really in character. So, he shall wait for someone else to take the "dragon" down safely.

what are the nonlethal rules again?

-4 penalty to attack

-4 to attack. If the creature has more (or equal to) nonlethal damage than hit points remaining, it goes unconcious but is not dying. Any nonlethal damage past the point where the two meet is converted into lethal damage.

Anyone have any Knowledge(Nature) at all? This seems like a very odd way for an animal to act... to step between two things that have hurt it to attack something that hasn't. In fact, just standing its ground against a group of attackers seems like odd behavior for it. Maybe someone should do detect magic on it? After you keep Takashi from dying horribly, of course.

I'm, ah, assuming that its current position on the battle map is inaccurate, given that it's 10' from Takashi and most likely does not have reach.

Wait, I messed up. One second - those attacks weren't against, Takashi, but instead against Pazacku, who's been next to it and hurting.

Oh, okay. That makes better sense. :D

You could also aid another.

-Posted with Wayfinder

Sorry, guys, work and family issues have kept me busy. I'm good now, and my posting rate shall be better from here on!

Oh, Pazacku, did you heal a hit point for resting the night? I thought you were already at 9 hp the day before after Takashi channeled.

oh your right thank you

In addition, if anyone had any leftover healing resources, you had time to use them before going to bed.

Ah, right, I could have done a channel and/or some Cure Light Wounds. Takashi would have done one of those for Pazacku. No one else was injured, right?

Just Pazacku. It only hit once, but when it hit, it hit hard.
