I’m not against two spell slingers.

I’ll make a thread today.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I could run MotW if there was an interest.

Otherwise I’d play in Masks or Urban Shadows.

They have a ton of YouTube videos online. I bought it to play with my wife, but I haven’t played yet.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I would be cool with starting a new game.

This is a curve ball...but would anyone be interested in Good Society? It’s a GMless regency era storytelling game. It’s super well suited for PbB.

Btw: Sprawl was fine. Heist games are HARD to run in a satisfying way.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Yeah, I can’t imagine this game without Ron...


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Confession time. I’ve been embarrassed to post because I’m hopelessly lost in this plot and I’m not sure what we’re doing here. Can we get a recap?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I vote for facing the Gorilla God! We ARE godslayers after all


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

God, it's been like a million years. Can you quickly remind me why we're here?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

They BOTH have libraries! They're both books

The idea of a library is abhorrent to me, but I choose the one that seems less...stuffy.

To the obelisk!


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I’d be in!


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Ehhhhhh. I don’t know if I’m in to another fantasy game. I’m sad that Masks is petering out. Want to try to revive Monsterhearts? That was fun!


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I laugh warmly. Oh no, this was still the clear choice. The elves want to kill me, you, Ron, everyone we've spoken to. Belym's likely the only one they wouldn't execute on sight. I'm just ribbing Ron for waiting until we've arrived to bring that up.

What a hilarious omission. So when I said "We can't go to the Great Forrest, the leaders want me dead" you didn't think it was a good time to point out that the same holds true for Eolen?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Conwall takes in the sights. Where to, bossman?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Sorry, I spaced. Yes, I'm ready!


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Wow!


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Any...all of that, really. I feel my world has turned upside down. I was raised to eliminate all traces of Asmodean corruption. “It’s better to extinguish a thousand lives than permit a single sliver of demon to thrive.” Discovering a trusted ally is a demon is one thing. But yo learn that my whole race decends from demon-kind? I can barely fathom the fallout if this becomes known.

I get quiet. There are those in power who are such fanatics that they’d end our race forever if they knew.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Sounds like a plan. In the meantime, imma clear some bonds.

As the group prepares to leave, I approach Roshan hesitantly.
We should talk...

I snicker. The last thing you want to do is fight one Conwall, but the point stands. None of us would survive a visit to the Great Forest.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Conwall nods. Yeah, I'm not sure about that. I'm not exactly...welcome in the Elven lands. Do you remember those elves I killed a few days ago? They were here to hunt me.

Ron, I do! Go ahead and resolve.

+3 from the questions described.

Alignment: "Defend those weaker than you." None of the party is really weaker than I am...but those old dudes in the doorway sure needed rescuing. I'll take it!

I didn't touch any of my bonds. I really need to work on that.

+4 XP!


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I can think of a few, but they’d be equally likely to advise the council to destroy this area.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I shrug It could go either way, I’m afraid. If we made an impassioned plea that this is not a foe one can just nuke there might be a chance. But by “we” I mean “not me” because I’m currently Elfsonoa non grata among my people. And by “we” I mean “not you” because they’d never listen to a non-elf.

That's when you multiclass. Something from the cleric playbook maybe?

Nope. I decided to not get Blacksmith back in...uhhh...July 2016. Digging back into the thread reminded me that next level up I do want to take "Improved Weapon" and make Catastrophe huge. Then we'll REALLY have some fun.

Speaking of Spires, I'm running a game of Spire, the Drow freedom fighter game from Grant Howlett. If anyone is interested in checking it out, we could use one or two more Ministers of Our Dark Mistress to free Spire from the shackles of the foul Aelfir.

The Tears of Annalise would have been super useful when we thought that Ron was dead.

I turn the boots over in my hands. "Yes, these should do nicely. I've been smelling like livestock for far too long. I think it's been years since any of us took the time to bathe."

Listen, I recognize that it’s suspicious to get six “12” results in a row. I must be stealing RNG luck from the players in my Sprawl game...

I laugh with what little mirth I have left after such a brutal fight. That “one” was mine? I indicate the assorted limbs and heads hewn from the cultossus. Count the legs, the arms and heads, and then divide by five. That’s my score for today.

Abolith? More like aboless!: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 = 12


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Nah, that checks out. I went through a similar binge.

'Roshan, you can do youtube if nothing else: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCAfn5ahWLpQmCIN7D0E1YQg/

I HIGHLY recommend Overcast. The volume levels for the first season are pretty whack and Overcast helps out a lot for that.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

MA is avaliable everywhere good podcasts are downloaded. I prefer Overcast but you can find it on itunes etc.

And you're supposed to hate Prentice. The whole idea of her...it's body horror in the worst way.

How far are you?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

YESSS. I <3 the Magnus Archives so much. Stay away from the subreddit until you're totally caught up, but when you're done, I'm the one who wrote the Google Spreadsheet that catalogs all of the different monsters and what they're all about.

What podcast?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Weird. It's working for me on Chrome for MacOS


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I squint. It's not attacking me (it's DELIBERATELY NOT ATTACKING ME) which means it's afraid. If it was able to strike me along with the rest, it would.

I press the advantage and bring Catastrophe down for a final strike. hack and slash: 2d6 + 3 ⇒ (4, 5) + 3 = 12

He's already afraid. It's time for him to be dismayed.

My blows rain down on the monster fast and furious. Even if this monster survives my assault, it's now clear that it has two choices: Abandon its plan and flee completely or stay here and be utterly destroyed.

daaaaaamn-age: 1d10 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (10) + (1) + 1 = 12

Sorry, I didn’t get the “new post” numbers on this one

With my sword hand still free, I slash my trapped hand free and keep hacking away at the beasty.

Slash and hack: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (6, 4) + 2 = 12

To paraphrase Nemo in League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Vol. 2 “We... We cannot know what feelings our enemies have... But we may be certain at least, that Conwall. taught them terror.

For many humans living far from the great woods, Elves are something of a boogie man, monsterous killing machines, single soldiers destroying entire settlements. While much of that is exaggeration (for example it takes dozens of powerful spellcasters to convert even the smallest hamlet into a medium size hole in the ground) my unrelenting and precise slashes confirm the most horrifying tales of Elven prowess. If Uxfaris still has a bladder, he’s emptied it.

Damage: 1d10 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + (2) + 1 = 12


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Oh, ok. I thought I didn't hurt it and it was reforming.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Is Catastrophe not a slashing weapon?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

So, to be clear, the I'm not hitting the core itself? Also, it's seemingly immune to magical weapons?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I look to the merged cultist monster in the middle of the room. I'm going to rush him.

Do I need to do anything before I can trigger H&S?

If not...

hack and slash: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 6) + 2 = 11

I bring Catastrophe down on the monster, hard. I have an opening to make an extra brutal slash, but remembering what it did to Ron (do we know he got out ok?) I instead take a more cautious approach.

damage: 1d10 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (9) + (2) + 1 = 12

My first time at the Lake of the Petals. A crystal clear lake in the heart of Stag's Leap's land, ringed by weeping willows, drooping so low that they scatter their leaves onto the lake's surface. In the fall, the whole lake is covered in the petals and children swim in the water one last time before it becomes too cold. It was a particularly peaceful time for me, before my uncle was killed by Ravagers and the relationship between the Stags and the D'Aroniques became strained. Before my sister journeyed into the Blightfields to avenge her dear friend, never to return. Before I set out on my own mission of vengeance, before my climb of purification, before forging my sword.

It was a simple memory, but a treasured one. If I could notice its absence, I'd be bereft.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Sorry, I misunderstood. I thought I was killing baddies THEN doing defy danger, THEN killing more baddies. I'll let my 12 stand.

I reach into my deepest reserves to fortify myself from the assault. Defy Danger Wisdom: 2d6 + 1 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 = 6
OK then.


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I do just that, diving forward and sweeping my sword in an arc that catches them both.
H&S+DR bonus: 2d6 + 2 + 1 ⇒ (5, 1) + 2 + 1 = 9


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I watch as the bottles grow near, time slowing and Percival’s insight feeding me vital information. Discern realities+seeing red+Perceval: 2d6 + 1 + 1 + 2 ⇒ (2, 3) + 1 + 1 + 2 = 9
What here is useful or valuable to me?


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

Oh, I thought the cultists were blocking the door

I slide under the swinging blade to give Roshan her ramp.

Defy danger: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (3, 2) + 2 = 7


Male Elf Level 6 Fighter (Armor 3, HP 25/25, xp 9/13 load 6/12) |STR 0|DEX 2|CON 1|INT 1|WIS 1|CHA 1

I clear a path through some cultists, jabbing Catastrophe through a cultist’s chest.
Hack and slash: 2d6 + 2 ⇒ (5, 5) + 2 = 12
Damage: 1d10 + 1d4 + 1 ⇒ (3) + (1) + 1 = 5
My brutal strike inflicts fear upon my foes. An elf has joined the fight, and any ambition the cultists have for the rest of their lives has changed to “die painlessly.”

When you hack and slash on a 12+ you deal your damage, avoid their attack, and impress, dismay, or frighten your enemy.
