Let’s say you’ve been given horses alongside the caravan.

Even better!!
well, a pony for the short one :)
The party sets out, riding down the dusty road for a short spell. Sure enough, a large insectoid creature trundles down the road. Though somewhat resembling a beetle it has large clawed forelimbs and large, wickedly sharp mandibles. It hasn't quite noticed the party.
Zyrel's preference is to start pinging it at range, but I do not want to preempt anything.
Lanatir has gone up front to block the critter's path to our ranged combatants. We'll see if that works.
Merry Christmas everyone
Merry Christmas to you as well, Elsa, and the rest of you!
Merry Christmas everyone!
Howdy folks, starting tomorrow I'll be in a little beach town in Oaxaca for some serious chillin' out time, returning on the 9th of January. I may be able to squeeze a post in here and there, but signal/wifi is likely to be spotty at best.
Please bot me as necessary.

Oh wow, all this time I was unaware we’re in the same game as players. I play Alice Pleasance Liddell.
Enjoy your trip!

We can bot the GM?? Anybody have any cool ideas?
Well, I don’t want to cheat by defeating the monster. How about we find 6,000,000 GP?
Oops, forgot to take out that line for this game…
Also, I had no idea we were in the game together either! Coincidences!
So we can't have the monster fall over and burst like a pinata with treasure and magic items?
So disappointed
:D
Oh! I didn’t see a “new” sign for some reason. Will post!
Posted! 20 damage miss, 50 damage hit!
I assume I only roll the Mercy d6 once, even with a crit.
Is Aakif still with us? Kind of want his priestly input so we don't violate his code or anything.
Lanatir is just fine with shooting first in this case. Unlike the factory, it seems a clearer-cut case to him.
Not sure, hope so though.
Hey, yes I can say all is well. I've got a lot of good stuff happening, but I'm unbelievably overwhelmed. I don't know if I'll be able to continue on. If you find someone to replace me, go for it, otherwise I'll get to the game eventually. I do have to say that 50+ new messages is daunting
I got in touch with the player recently on discord, and this was his reply. He’s been gradually reactivating a game that he GM’s, to my knowledge. But of the two games I’m in as a player with him, no posts since December.
I’m good with the current plan. I had PS sneaking into position, so she can shoot an ambusher in the back. (No need to be honorable with a sniper.)
That's a bit harsh :)
It’s a mercy pistol. Sure, it still explodes heads with the 4x Crit, but when PS doesn’t Crit, her targets tend to live!
I meant the bit about snipers
Hello gang, I'm slowly bringing each of my games up to speed (sorry, you're #4 out of 5). If I'm still welcome to play, I'd love to continue. Basically I got government support for my mental illnesses, got on new medication, got caught up in a new relationship, and became overwhelmed as everything else piled up. So good things, but I am sorry for disappearing for a very long time. Would anyone be willing to fill me in as to what we've been up to?
We are sneaking up on some mutants or something, as well as using a player as bait to distract them (well a dancing lights spell)
You're more than welcome, Aakif!
Currently the party is heading to the Spellscar League, a federation of mutants in the Spellscar Desert, the find a specialist on wild magic to understand and possibly repair the damage at the magical factory, the damage having been caused by a sort of wild magic bomb that was planted there by the Conclave of Niln, a rival to the Tetrad that's been behind the various problems the party has investigated (namely the Slag trade and the kidnapping of Suradesh).
As Elsa says, they're travelling through the edges of the desert and are being stalked by a group of mutants that they're currently trying to sneak up on.
I’m happy with said plan.
Another crit. Even more damage than when I shot the giant beetle!
Maybe you should shoot to kill. Less damage that way
:D
Damn. I have a vigilante that I’ve been playing since 2018, and very rarely does she get her x3 Crit from stiletto heels and arrows.
Three battles in a row for PS. And a readied action after giving the warning. Trigger is whoever shoots first!
I’m loving this, @Lanatir! How cool would it be if one head explodes and you slice the other five bullets?
That would be pretty cool!
Sometimes the RNG is in our favor.
Anyone have diplomacy? I’d love to get a surrender if our lucky start results in a decapitation and five halved bullets.
It’s right after the “we’re that good” talk.
(That said, I’m good with battling in our OR sparing NPCs. Either way!)
She was attacking, right? I meant to trigger on an attack.
(Not that I’m complaining…! Got a kick out of that GM post!)
Aww! I don't even get to use those really good Cut from the Air rolls!
That's a good suggestion from Elsa in the gameplay chat. I think I need some time to get my mental health a bit more in order. I'll have a post moving us into the city on Friday the 15th at the latest.
Cool. Take your time, we will be here
I hope you feel better! Echoing Elsa, we'll be here when you get back.
I contacted Coyote via discord, so we can just go ahead and self-manage a bathhouse and/or lake scene. He’s good with that.
Any preference?
• Bathhouse
• Lake
• Gals in bathhouse, guy(s) in lake?
Definitely a bathhouse. The lake may be their water source
Welcome back, Coyote!
You could always move forward and we backpost (in spoilers, if that’s less confusing).
Apologies for quoting Buster Scruggs.
I have Bluff, but imagine Dimplomacy is needed to recruit.
But if Bluff/Pass Secret Message can be used this way, it would be +14 (my 10 with the additional +4 from the GM post). I’ll roll if I can. Otherwise, I’ll roll sense mo while another player handles the Diplo check.
lol, Dimplomacy is a great way to say it.
Well……… P.S. did her thing again.
lol
Woah!
Hey - Zyrel has Eagle Eyes, Eagle Eyed, and lipreading. Is he okay to read lips, or are the sounds amplified somehow?
I rolled two nat.20s and two nat.1s in 24 hours. (Four different campaigns.)
Sheesh, not much I can do about a nat 20.
At level 11, Lanatir would get an ability to potentially negate crits, but that is quite a ways away.
At least he had the HP to tank the hit, which might impress the crowd and/or demoralize the opponent.
Hey folks, I’ll be out of town til Monday on a camping trip.
