Wrath of the Righteous

Game Master Vinsomner

One of these days, one of these enemies will actually run away on the prompt to do so.

One did.

Nobody chased her.

So I provoke once, and I'm pretty sure this is going to hurt.

I missed. Lucky for you, I've been having lousy die rolls all day.

Ever played carnival of tears?
Our cavalier had so many rolls not in his favor we felt bad for him.

Well, it was either blind her or pull her pants down to entngle her. I don't think we'd have ever heard the end of it from Verim... or others.

I generally use the deafen choice against people that are confirmed casters, lol.

That said, I'm surprised Verim didn't go into a verbose bit of contempt for all those things I just said. Generally our entire group gets along rather well, and there are some neat little niches popping up.

I'm just trying to make Maxwell take on that grudging leader aspect but no one would want that on account of him not being a "Good" person, but frankly that's all the more reason for him to take a quasi-leadership role.

Though he's more for giving advice, and making tough decisions when everyone else is in conversation about it. I kind of like his no-nonsense attitude.

Also I don't want anyone to confuse Maxwell's "You guys should leave this place" as his method of redeeming people. He honestly just doesn't want to deal with them and figures that just separating them from the source is all they need. It's basically lazy rehab.

One has to wonder how many status debuffs you can inflict on a single person... I don't even know how you can be dazzled and asleep at the same time.

If something were to wake her, she would still be Dazzled.

Oh don't worry Verim didnt forget, he picks his times. This is where that Wis and Cha comes in..

Verim is going the opposite route, If we were using tropes he would be the Lancer to Maxwell, a more laid-back but no less leadery guy, much kinder, a fair bit more emotional and obviously with different motives.

Also.. has anyone noticed that recently these dice... have come up with 4 and 7 almost every time he has swung them?

In a PFS i threw pretty much every debuff evil eye hex can pull on the same enemy. The GM felt sorry for it.

In PFS, My earth school wizard is mostly buffs and debuffs. Stinking Cloud, Glitterdust and Grease are all school spells. Acid Cloud, the school power, is a damaging AoE that can sicken.

My Monk-like character (Monk/Alchemist/Fighter/Magus) can inflict 5 statuses upon a creature on his own. possibly all in one round. Dragon Style Stun> Shaken> Sickened From Cruel> Staggered from hamastulu Strike> Fatigued from Stunning Fist/Frostbite. If he's really mean he will also Trip and Dirty Trick you all which way as well.

I personally like blinding because any spell that requires LoS automatically fails. So nothing like murderous command, scorching ray, bull's str (if you target an ally), dominate, charm person, hold person etc.It also tanks their AC into the dirt. That will never work again... ever.

Funny story. Maxwell's only reason for not killing everything he's seen with vengeful rage is only because he still believes Mia is a child, and doesn't want to subject her to the horrors of a person actually dieing in front of him.

It makes sense if you check his backstory. :3

The little one's the lighting anchor in the darkness.
Should we let the security measure stay in effect?

Nobody's spoken up about it....if someone spoke up it'd be putting the scissors to the thread.

I rank up perception at every level.

It's kind of a ticking bomb. I mean, he would have to get used to the fact that you're not a child, but the moment he comes to terms with the fact that you're an adult halfling he's going to be a little more rough.

That said, he's not going to plunge into pure evil all of a sudden because you're suddenly not a child, lol. No, more than likely he'll be capable of handling his own inner demons, but he's certainly the most likely to be targeted out of all of us, if only because he's smack dab in the middle of chaotic neutral and could go either way.

A few years short of adulthood actually. Fluffwise that's what adds to the original deception.
Like with Verim, he's onto something, but if her halfling-thing is spoken out, he'd just have an adoptive sibling instead of a little kid.

We'll keep you on the balanced axis some way or another.

I think Tallina has basically had it up to here *holds hand to neck level* with cultists and their games. She's taking the cannibalism thing a bit hard because she's used to being able to scavenge for all her own food and feed off the land. The thought of people eating their own disgusts her.

Oh and for now I'll be Aravashnials guide.

On one hand I'm waiting for the people with social skills to post, on the other it's kind of fun to go back and reread how we all started this little journey.

1 week from today I'm going to be flying to Florida for a little over a week. I'll have internet it just might be sketchy.

My personal goal is to get at least one party member to offer a sincere prayer, of their own free will, to a demon lord.

That reminds me of a story i read once.
It concerned a surface elf facing certain death, pleas to his deity didn't serve him and at his wits end he said a prayer to the spider goddess of the drow. According to the story, she found this so amusing a host of spiders ate the monster that was to kill the elf.
He was a follower ever since :)

** spoiler omitted **

*cracks neck as it seems we've gotten a little progress and my weekend got a little busy* Man I'm old now. *Birthday is today*

Grats

Congratulations, how old is old?
I'm normally the baby in my rl group, since I'm "only" 32.

Hah , 24, Im just exaggerating.

EDIT: MIEN GOTT I JUST REALIZED I AM AS OLD AS VERIM!

24 is old?????

Those numbers are in the wrong order for me, and I refuse to be old.

Im not allowed to get OLD until 75.. THEN I can be old. with that sweet sweet +3 to all mental stats.

Edmund Blackadder, Esquire: If I don't think of something, tomorrow we die – which I have to tell you, Baldrick, I have no intention of doing! I want to be young and wild, and then I want to be middle-aged and rich, and then I want to be old and annoy people by pretending that I'm deaf!

Nice I appropriately rolled high enough on the Init this time.

Yes, but now you've got to stay alive long enough.

Well my not crappy AC should help with that along with pretty good HP

Somebody use the scroll of cause fear, that should help, aside from that happy birthday. You are as old as me... for another week and a half.

So, Maxwell and myself are to confess huh.
29...at least for a month and a half still....

I'm 21

The Old is real.

26 here.

I hope this Uziel guy doesn't have an Uziel stashed somewhere. :P

That's something a gnome should be riding in.

Oh God Mechassualt.. Or is it Warrior.. Either way, the memories..

So many things are made around that concept in comics.
There was this series in the mid 90s, hehe that's considered oldschool now.

Actually that wiki's for Battletech in its entirety - from the original tabletop game right through to Mechwarrior Online. The Uziel's first appearance outside of the tabletop game was in Mechwarrior 4 Vengeance, where it made it onto the coverart (although I wouldn't be surprised if it was in one of the travesties that were the Mech Assault games first).

50-ton 'mech with some of the most advanced tech of the era, giving it a high top speed and plenty of manoeuvrability without sacrificing too much armour. Not a fan of the default weapons setup - much prefer the UZL-2S. Very tempted to get it if they ever add it to Mechwarrior Online, but with how they're trying to follow the Battletech timeline, that could be a while if it happens at all (current year by MWO's timeline is 3050, the Uziel didn't go into production until 3065).

Also, I think I've been watching too many of the historical videos that a youtuber called the Mighty Jingles puts out for War Thunder and World of Tanks, because that last paragraph sounds a lot like an abridged version of one of his tank/plane discussions.

I played quite a bit of Battletech and Was in the Beta for Mechwarrior Online as well, I'm Trying to remember what I used to do tourneys with, Im Sure it was a Type Of Catapract with massive Cooling systems and a heavy missile bay that was replaced with tones of small lasers.. And Jump jets. I would land and basically annihilate anything that wasnt an Atlas by firing all the lasers.. and then ALMOST overheat.

That sounds almost as cheesy as this machine gun spam loadout I heard about once. Never heard the chassis but it was a lot of them and FASA actually had to release a piece of errata expressly to address that build.

Would explain why people tried it in MW3 and 4, though.

And I think I've actually seen some people trying that small laser spam with a Hunchback 4P in Mechwarrior Online - swaps out the giant ballistic mount for an equally-giant pile of energy mounts, so they fill that with six small lasers, one more in each arm and a ninth in the head. No idea how well it works, but at least it saves enough weight for plenty of armour (and the Hunchback can mount a lot of armour for a 50 tonner).

Unsure if that's so Luciana, that page was about was a series.

Oh; the link I was talking about was the one I originally made about the Uziel battlemech. I didn't even see the link you posted until just now.

;)
Only series in the genre i ever saw.
Anyway, on to topic #2

Will Verim stand the test of time(aka round 1)?

Verim is made to Last little one.. Besides WHO ELSE even has a chance against all that down there? We need an initiator and Verim is the guy for that.
