Scummer D&D

[ConManMick]

So what you're saying is we're being paid 33% upfront

[FakeGod]

better luck next time

[Who]

Is Millie's scroll each or total?

[FakeGod]

She's offering just one.

[Who]

GIF should attempt to replicate Benedict's findings. He's sketchy so like why not.

[FakeGod]

Benedict's findings are a number of differences in writing style between Dr. Mozack's papers from before and after 6 months ago, and the fact that Dr. Mozack has not demonstrated any ability to craft wondrous items or magical arms/armor in the past, when craft construct feat needed for homunculus creation requires them.

What's there to replicate?

[Who]

Differences in writing style. Do they actually exist or is he lying?

[FakeGod]

To detect the writing style differences, you would have to get the publications and roll either forgery, or profession (any writing profession).

To check whether Dr. Mozack has actually not demonstrated any ability to craft in the past, and whether his homunculus creation process is legit, you need to roll knowledge (arcana).

[Who]

Knowledge arcana should be easy. Forgery on the other hand, I don't think anyone has. Even I don't because I couldn't take it at level 1 because illiteracy.

[GuyInFreezer]

Vert is the master of crafting wondrous items and will love to have a discussion with the dude.

[FakeGod]

Reminder that we're playing tomorrow usual time.

[ConManMick]

If im not too hungover will be there so probably will be there

Summary

PCs get on the train, but not before fighting off bunch of hooded men dressed as guards. They beat them and find the real guards. PCs meet NPCs. Vincent Harif, Mehani Harif, and Finlay Harif, the artisan family. Corinne, the red haired woman who has something on her mind. Elizabeth Roseweave and Christopher Cierci, two nobles who know Millie. Sanki Fuller, a rude banker. Butler Argyle, the butler. Conductor Ross, the conductor. Harpy lady named Maetra. Gnoll captain named Yaksol. Maetra gives Finlay a flying ride outside.

They arrive in the redberry fields owned by goatmen. With some listen checks and see invisibility, Brian Skies detect Christopher sneak into the fields and stealing some berries. Chris trips over a trap and gets powder dumped all over him, as well as ring alarm bells. Goatmen come after them. Elizabeth draws her sword and goes to save Chris, so the PCs rush in as well. Eliza almost dies, but PCs manage to wipe out the goatmen and run away. They make it back to the train. PCs yell at Chris, but Chris simply counts the berries he stole and tell them to leave his room. Thog beats the shit out of him before getting stopped by the guards. Maetra yells at the gnoll captain for not saving the passengers.

They are at the bridge leading to Thundercrag, but there is a giant boulder in the way. Gnoll captain drinks a potion of enlarge potion and goes to remove it off the track, but the ground under him suddenly becomes slippery and he falls down to the depths below. Illusion fades away and more goatmen arrives. PCs kill the goatmen and the ogre shotgunmen but by the time Maetra arrives with a healer the gnoll captain is dead. Conductor Ross remarks that his throat has been cut, and suspects foul play.

[FakeGod]

You notice something funny about these guards.

Their armor seems a bit too big for them.

Some of them are wearing their swords backwards.

lmao

wat

totally professional

best rainrobbers ever

Ugh, Amateurs.

[FakeGod]

I hope those berries were worth it. What kind of man leaves the woman who fought to protect him?

Hey man, I didn't ask for any protection. I was in no danger.

...

If it werent for us, your head would have been removed from your shoulders.

We should have let him die.

You would be good to remember that. And you owe Elizabeth one hell of an apology for leaving her for dead.

Nah, I was about to kung fu my way out of there. I didn't need any help. Now get out of my room.

Noble prick.

Rolls 25 on grapple.

Rolls a 2.

Yeah, I pick him up and beat him against the walls.

holy shit

[FakeGod]

I guess he lays there pulverized. Guards arrive and move to stop you. Do you resist?

Nah, it's cool. I let Chris know that I know where he sleeps.

Take his berries, too.

I take them.

Hey, those are mine. What the hell.

Those are stolen.

I took them. I EARNED THEM.

And now we're taking them from you! We're earning them!

You can't have any.

You earned them unlawfully.

And endangered the entire train.

And you risked the lives of others to do so.

If you could have 'kung-fued' your way out, kung fu your berries back.

LOL

[FakeGod]

Some highlights from today's session.

[Hanasawa]

That's great. The kung-fu line always gets me every time. I shouldn't laugh in a tram.

[ConManMick]

Yeah sorry I flaked out. I'd been awake ~40 hours at that poibt and totally fell asleep almost immediately after we fought the guards on the platform, my bad

[FakeGod]

No worries, ConMan. I rather you get some sleep than to try and force yourself to play.

[Who]

Question about unseen seer: It gives a bonus to SA/Skirmish/Sudden Strike/Whatever damage, but it doesn't have SA as a prereq and it only says it adds to a pre-existing extra damage, it doesn't say what happens if you go into unseen seer without having SA/any damage bonus. What happens if you go into unseen seer without having sneak attack? What happens if you go into unseen seer without sneak attack then later obtain sneak attack?

[FakeGod]

If you have no SA, then you do not benefit from USeer damage boost.

If you later gain SA, you then benefit from the USeer damage boost.

[FakeGod]
