I'm not feeling Draka anymore and it's not fair to everyone else when I'm absent. I think it might be best if I bowed out. I really appreciate GM Tyranius letting me be at the table and everyone else for accepting Draka into the party. I had some good laughs. I'll probably still ghost now and then. Thanks again. <3
I haven't felt inspired to play Draka recently, that's why I've been mysteriously missing. I'm totally alive tho (and back)
"Well, he was unpleasant." The vesk seems to agree, even though she tends to find other large, green creatures attractive. "Draka not so sure about them." She points a claw at the corpses, "like pain? No, should like Draka." Her large, muscled arms flex as one perfectly red-painted claw clicks away on her com screen. She cuts out the enemy speech from her combat vid, which she re-watches and clips for upload.
Checking in! I prefer sweet alcoholic drinks. I like the way beer smells, but I haven't been able to get behind the taste. The closest I've gotten is cider. Like Angry Orchard (which I'm sure has lots of sugar)
Round 3: Draka bares her teeth, takes a step to the right, and swings at the purple enemy. "Why move around?" The vesk is aware the cultists are trying to flank her Blood and Fury companion, but she needs a certain amount of space to swing her hammer. She brings the blunt end down, hoping to crush the last of the purple cultist's morale.
Round 2: Draka snarls and swings at the orange cultist. "RAAAAUGH!"
How was the beer festival btw? :D Do they have kegs with free samples? Or is it a bunch of home and small company brews?
Round 1: Draka stomps through the doorway and turns to swing her hammer on the red enemy. "RAAAAUGH!" Her yellow reptilian eyes shine with the anticipation of battle as her Swoop Hammer cuts through the air.
It's been raining like crazy here. There was a thunder clap so loud I thought it hit a tree! Woke me up last night. The temperature has been cooler though (humid, but in the 80s.) Typical Virginia
Surprise Round: Draka, seeing that her companions are going in, moves her full 35 feet speed towards the room. "RAAAAAAUGH!" She is not quiet.
Draka only approaches but not too close because she's not the most stealthy of adventurers. She narrows her yellow, reptilian eyes at the yoski as he promises "just goblins" will die. Draka wasn't very familiar with the anatomy of other species, but she gets the feeling the creatures on the other side aren't goblins.
The vesk stands politely to the side listening and nodding. "Draka and Draka friends help."
"I think it's a ..." The vesk props her sunglasses on her sunhat and finishes Abe's sentence. "...call center for Blood and Fury fans?" She seats herself in one of the chairs, which groans from under the weight of her vesk form. "Honestly, Draka like look of place. Draka earlier comment still stand: Draka vacation here."
Draka fearlessly steps into the hallway. "Draka open first door?" The vesk motions to the door across from the entrance.
Draka immediately recognizes the golemforged plating III, as she is already wearing a suit - her's with one upgrade already: jump jets. "Draka take pretty BBQ sticker." The vesk reaches out to claim one of the sintered longswords. "No good for smashing, but perfect for campfires. Never know when have s'mores." On her com unit, the vesk takes time to sticky or comment on a handful of messages. Her red painted claw scrolls down the list of comments. She pins one of the comments about her conquering in a sunhat and shades at the top of the feed.
Round 4: Draka steps to her right to get enough space to wield her weapon. She tightens her grip the handle of her Swoop Hammer and lifts the weapon up to swing. "RAAAAAUGH!"
He holds his mangled hand out. "Wait a minute...We was jest looking to have a bit of fun." The cultist draws another grenade, cooking it off in his own, mangled hand in front of Draka as he drops it at his feet. -
The vesk's hulking form catches the full brunt of the damage. "RAAAAAU! It's hard to tell if Draka is surprised or hurt. She snarls and lifts up her Swoop Hammer again.
Round 2:
Draka swivels in her sunhat and shades to look at the scene and she opens her lipstick-framed mouth wide in disbelief. "NooOOOOooo! Draka vacation spot!" The vesk seems more concerned about the lush vegetation, the perfect backdrop for selfies, than herself. Draka roars and storms towards the cultists, Swoop Hammer lifted. "RAAAAAUGH!" Her pointy teeth glisten with saliva as she brings the hammer down on the green cultist. "Put fire out!" She commands, attempting to bonk the cultist over the head.
I'll be at the beach starting this weekend for a week. My phone can't handle Roll20 and Google Slides so moving Draka on the map will be spoty.
Draka straightens her sunhat, which had gone askew from the Jubsnuth's trample. "This not vacation hotspot Draka expecting, but Draka like. Draka give three stars. Green like Draka, clash with scales." She snaps a picture with the dead creature then hacks off a crab-like leg using her swoop hammer. She wondered if there would be succulent meat inside like a crab or vine-like tendons.
lol, I'd forgotten about Waneda! I hope we get to see her again
Round 3:
"RAAAU-OOF" Draka stumbles a bit but quickly straightens. She turns her head left, then right, spots the behemoth, and follows after the creature. Lifting up her swoop hammer, she swings it in an arc on the large creature again.
Round 2: Draka tries to boop it on the snoot again, aiming for the closest head. Swinging her swoop hammer with gusto and bellowing her war cry. "RAAAUGH!"
Round 1: "Drop it. Bad." Draka snarls and swings her swoop hammer at the over-sized creature, trying to flick it on what would be its nose if it had one.
Checking in <3
"Draka not follower, Draka followed. But Draka make exception." The vesk flicks a clawed hand at the charred landscape, ready to progress.
Draka returns to the ship's bridge and exits the ship with the others, dressed to impress. She rests her Swoop Hammer on her shoulder and does a duck face, snapping several pics on her com.
Draka doesn't seem bothered by what may or may not be a trap waiting for them down below. The prospect of landing on an oxygen-rich atmosphere has her excited. "Draka say ship land." The vesk points a red-painted claw at the deteriorating slab of an ancient concrete-like material in the distance. "Draka grab sunglasses." Draka's large tail knocks over an empty tissue box from off her com station as she turns to leave the bridge but she doesn't seem to notice. There's a whooshing noise of the automatic door as Draka disappears down the ship hallway into her room to prepare for disembark. Inside her room, Draka rummages though piles of objects strewn all over her quarters to find a fashionable pair of sunglasses and a wide brimmed sunhat (both fitted for a vesk's head.) It isn't a secret that Draka's a bit of a slob, but the objects in her room are fabulously fashionable and trendy, befitting the rising vidstar. Her bedside table still has the autographed picture of The Zane holding a damsel in a fireman's carry.
Checking in! :D I have high hopes for Nintendo. They didn't sell as many Switches as they projected, but I've been impressed with the games so far.
"Aren't ships expensive?" Draka lifts a single claw to her mouth as if pondering. "Sell ship for credits? Yes? No?" The vesk tilts her scaly head.
Draka pretends to swoon with fatigue, but her large vesk form doesn't have the same effect as lashunta or human would have. She straightens, "Just kidding. Draka strong woman, who only need man to hold purse." She flexes for her com unit, then pulls out a tube of hot rod red lipstick. Draka will take five minutes to rest. After resting, Draka begins to explore. "This new Draka friends' ship?" The vesk seems interesting in the upgrade. "Draka get own bathroom?" The vesk keenly follows after the others, although she isn't nearly as perceptive.
Round 9: Draka snarls and lifts up her swoop hammer, staring town her target. She arcs the weapon down on Mr. Jangles.
Draka tries to turn the combat into an inquisition. "Why Draka get acid? Why not gentle caress?" The vesk doesn't seem to understand what Mr. Jangles is doing to Abe, but it looks better than getting a pistol shot at her. Draka swings her Swoop Hammer again, first moving if needed.
I'll be in DC from Friday to Monday for the annual ALA convention. I'll have my phone, but won't be able to move my characters on Google Slides or Roll20 during that time
Draka lifts up her Swoop Hammer, arcing the weapon above her head once more. Then, at it's peak height, Draka swings downward towards the Jangly Man once more. "DRAKA SMASH! RAAAUGH! "
I'm not sure if any of you watched E3 2019, but I'm really excited for the Animal Crossing game for Switch. It looks really cool
I'm on my phone atm, do you mind moving Draka above JM with one space between them? Otherwise I can do it this evening
Draka ignores the two incorporeal creatures and continues to follow the Jangley Man. Where go now?! The vesk was getting tired of the cat and mouse game. Turning the corner, she spots and approaches her target, swinging her hammer in an arc down towards his ribcage.
Round 4: The vesk calls back to her companions: "Jangley Man... scared of Draka!" Then, the vesk moves past the red shade, seemingly unconcerned about the damage, and bounds down the hallway towards the Jangly Man. She bares her teeth in a knowing smile. Their foe wasn't formidable - he was afraid of her.
Round 4: "RAAAAAUGH!" Draka snarls and snaps her toothy maw, a drip of saliva drips off one of her upper teeth and plops to the ground. The vesk takes a five foot step to position herself to attack. She lifts up her Swoop Hammer and swings again.
Round 3: Draka takes a five foot step, following Jangly Man to be within swinging distance. "First, throw acid at Draka!" Draka raises her swoop hammer above her head and her battle cry can be heard from all the way down the hall. "Then, call Draka brute?! RAAAUGH!" All her hard work to look her beautifully-stunning best - the carefully maintained manicure, the shine to her scales, the sharpness of her teeth - all devalued by this crazed human! The vesk's inner goddess rages. How dare he?! Draka channels all of her annoyance and anger into the swing, arcing the end of the weapon down towards Jangly Man.
Round 2:
"Fight Draka in real battle!" The vesk snarls her complaint at the retreating Jangly Man. She continues to tromp full speed down the hallway until she comes face-to-face with the Jangly Man himself. She squeezes the handle of her Swoop Hammer and bares her pointy teeth, "no hide from Draka."
So are you all meeting up at Paizo Con? :D Anyone else listening to Old Town Road on repeat?
Draka does the same. "Are you ready for the end? Do you wish to visit the Blood Door?" The man's dark face smiles eerily in the light. Round 1: Draka's no stranger to violence but this Jangly Man was a whole new level of crazy. Still, she double moves to the crazed Jangly Man, Swoop Hammer in claws. Crazy but look frail.
Draka sticks close to Abe. Ship wizard have mind speak with robot? Draka makes a mental note to ask The Zane about it later. Asking now would ruin the vid. She looks around with her Swoop Hammer out.
"Draka could use better closet." The vesk unstraps her swoop hammer and fiddles with her com unit for a minute while her companions discuss strategy. The crew members entrails smeared and strung up along the walls like Christmas decorations. "Oh! Draka see they know how decorate." She nods in approval at the artistic liberty that's been taken. "We sure it crew member tho? Look like novik mammoth entrails." On the upper level you watch as the Jangly Man appears in rooms, in camera, slowly executing his crew with a long spear that he carries. You watch as he gruesomely pierces skulls, lungs and throats alike as the crew of the Singularity is single-handed killed off before the Jangly Man leaves the view of the cameras. The vesk's appreciation for the 'art' immediately turns to anger. "What he do?! Kill friends? On team ship?! They friend, right? That why on ship?" Draka may be a highly-competitive vidstar, but she has plenty of integrity. She bares her pointy teeth and turns to the next set of doors, flexing and prepared to stomp through and smash. Where robot? Draka looks around for the invisible Dash. The robot, even though just a robot, seems like he always has a plan. Abe designed him well.
Round 4:
Draka shoots the ship's Twin Laser, then turns towards the ship's Light Plasma Torpedo Launcher. She snarls and her tail nocks over an empty coffee mug and the metal vessel clanks to the ground. "More explosion." She seems unhappy with her latest shot. Her shoulder brushes past the fashion throw blanket artfully placed across the back of her chair and the fabric slides to the floor, joining the metal mug. She hulks toward's the Aft weapon controls (with lashunta grace) and jabs the firing controls a bit harder than necessary. "RHAAAA!"
