I spoke with Mooshy. This game is officially called off.

So I die and she chooses the goblin?! I'm glad I didn't live to see this!
Hegh's exit may or may not involve taking 17 tabs of MDMA and soaring through the streets of Estr raining icy death upon singing and dancing mushroom men below.
Gentlemen, with changed work duties I've found that I've over-extended myself in my eagerness to GM and play PbP dungeon world. Unfortunately, the campaign that I'm running is suffering for it. I need to step back from a game and this campaign has a healthy number of players and is in no danger of closing down from lack of participation. I think this is the best game to step away from. Moosh, I've thoroughly enjoyed your GMing here and am looking forward to continuing on in your Skaven campaign. Best of luck guys. Perhaps Hegh will return if things settle down a bit for me.
Hegh nonchalantly picks through the pieces of exploded human, as Retzack's beast feeds.
Unless stopped by one of his party, Hegh sprints towards the humans at full speed. What do I need to roll to close to frost breath range before they can escape?
Hegh keeps a close eye on the surroundings as the kobolds travel deeper into the sewers, wary for traps or ambushes.
Hegh looks around for Shieldbearer and Tanard to ensure both are with the group, and then follows Smoog.
Hegh approaches Sees and Smoog as Retzack works and helps to fill in their map. He taps on the map. Humans spotted us here. Oadir and I engaged while Thunk led the others in this direction in pursuit of the Deathclaw. There was a large explosion and the Deathclaw was injured. Still, I worry about them. We also heard reports that the townsfolk are in awe of a soaring white dragon ridden by a shadow demon that spread gold throughout the streets. He puffs up with obvious pride. Further aerial recon should be considered. It appears you were about to leave before we arrived. What is your plan Bloodmother?
That cloth I gave you has your eye, if you've grown attached to it over the years.
Hegh listens patiently to the rest of Sees and Smoog's exchange, all the while staring at Eats Bugs new arm. Their story may be more interesting than ours. When Oadir stops speaking, Hegh delivers his report. In common: Oadir and I have returned from scouting. Thunk, Krish, and Greas are in pursuit of the Deathclaw.
Hegh continues to fly low until he loses immediate pursuit, then lands in an alley. Hegh then shrinks down to normal size and leads Oadir back into the sewer through a hopefully unattended sewer grate. He gets his bearings and they race back to the original campsite. What do we find there?
If the DM would allow rags to riches:
Hegh's claws close over the strands of the net and he focuses himself. The net begins melting and coins drop to the streets below. He flaps his wings furiously to attempt to gain altitude in time to avoid crashing.
Otherwise: Teleport us out of this net, Tiefling! Hegh let's a puff of ice out, hoping that additional frost in the air might help the Tiefling's magic.
Hegh and Oadir fly low and fast. When he sees kobolds below, Hegh will shout in draconic, Tanard is arisen. Freedom is near. When he sees groups of humans he will blast ice at them and twist slightly to give Oadir an opportunity to rain down destruction.
Hegh regains his composure after his blood rage is satisfied. We must trust in our friends. It is time to return to our queen. On the rooftop Hegh suddenly grows much larger and his scales elongate and thicken. Hop on my back Oadir, unless you mean to walk.
Shieldbearer is still with Tanard I imagine.
The human shouting for help about the kobolds goes pale and his mouth widens in horror when he sees Thunk's ecstatic expression and the corpse of the fat boy. He turns around and tries to flee down the stairs, but Thunk's too fast. The barbarian chases him until the kobold is standing at the top of the stairwell leading down, and the man is halfway down the stairs. Then, Thunk hurls the pig-boy's body down at the shouter. The man has time to say "No-!" before the corpse, which was thrown very hard, smashes into him. The two bodies collapse in a fallen heap at the bottom of the stairs.
Anywhere is better than here! Get going! Hegh unleashes another blast of ice at the hapless guards as they begin to rise.
Hegh begins laughing maniacally at the guards.
Hegh moves to take Thunk's central position at the top of the stairs and extends his wings for effect. Frosty wisps begin to emanate from between his fangs and he blasts ice down the stairwell, attempting to coat the stairway.
Hegh sighs heavily and turns to Thunk. Thumpbrother, we are not out here today to kill the pigskins. Soon but not today. Sees asked you to protect Krish. Please get him and the rest out of here. The Tiefling and I will cover the strategic withdrawal.
Hegh turns to Oadir. This is not a glorious last stand. You must go quickly. I will not be able to carry both of you when we make our escape. He quickly places a small wrapped cloth in Oadir's hand. Go.
Lose them on the rooftops. Go. Thunk and I can hold them for a minute to cover your retreat. We will meet you at the sewers. Hegh moves to take a defensive position next to Thunk. We will be fine. Trust me Greas.
Hegh turns to Krish. I don't see any Deathclaw bits here. Can you tell which way it went?
Sorry Oadir. Smoog has no way of knowing about your missing eye and this is just how he would be using his free time to inspect his new gadget. If you are still without an eye when you return, Smoog will do everything he can to try and help you. Hegh will bring snacks.
Hegh follows Kibra with his wings held close to his body.
#1 problem with PBP: cautious and brash characters act simultaneously unless beaten/shamed into holding their actions. Heghroy Jenkins is deeply offended.
We do not need guarding against the monster! The monster is a bit too unconscious at the MINIMUM to be a threat! We don't know that. Personally I don't understand why we would split the party again. The "scout" party and the "Deathclaw" party can accomplish their goals together.
Krish, you say you can tame the Deathclaw. How close must you get and how long will it take?
Clearly Sees is Leia in this scenario. Poor Hegh Solo
Hegh joins Greas silently as the black kobold contemplates. The prisoner pits had a similar mechanism, I think ...
Thunk is the best!
I'm digging this rivalry between Hegh and Oadir.
Hegh regards Oadir with an icy glare. He spits blood onto the ground, which quickly freezes, forming a dark patch of ice. I will slit all their throats for Gorlaug's memory and Tanard's glory. Will you chain every pig skin we find? Build yourself an army perhaps? If you must have a pet, there are a hundred more out there. He points towards the door exiting the circular room. Take your pick when our mission is through. We have bigger game.
After relaying what he saw through the windows, Hegh approaches the body lying across Thunk's shoulders. We will not be slowed. Hegh draws his sword across the pig skin's throat. We move.
Science is such a buzzkill.
Hegh stands sullenly near the door.
Hegh stretches his wings and grins. Once his fellow kobolds move on the pig skin, Hegh will fly just high enough to peek his head out the windows. He will flit from window to window until he sees as much as possible from his vantage points.
I have the winter Mage, but we already effectively have two winter mages in the party, fair warning.
I think that the Mage is a superior alternative class for the wizard ... Unless you are a big fan of vancian casting.
Can we name the Yellowjacket female "New-Hotness"? She was the fire tender of the tribe. |
