I just finished the 26 hour drive home! Drafting up the next update now. Should be up before too long, given that it's probably not going to be terribly lengthy.

Ugh, am confused. I guess he was warning us about not releasing Talor. Maybe.

Of course, we still don't know what side, if any, to support. For a bunch of amoral mercenaries, I'd have thought choosing our side would be easier! Too bad no one pays us in advance...

Oh well, moving on.

Edit: By my count, we now have twelve sides to choose from, btw.

Seven lords of Aretrian (Summoning the worst demon, and each scheming their own schemes)
The 'rebels'? (Summoning a bad demon to fight a worse demon)
The city guard (Maybe allied with some of the lords? None?)
The 'good' kobolds (Not really)
The 'bad' kobolds (maybe allied with some of the lords/none?)
The innocent people of aretrian and/or greater good

Oh, thank god...I thought I was making this a little too easy to unravel. And sorry about the slow in updates. Been catching up on schoolwork and looking into D&D 5e. I meant to update on Friday, but the whole Kal incident left me a bit too freaked out to right anything coherent.

The only problem is I'm the only one doing any unraveling. :P

Did you actually roll for that attack? If not, shame. It would have been hilarious to crit and unclimatically batter down one of the Lords, who I'm guessing is a high level devil.

I think it was a cinematic attack! I approve of those. It's also a nice way for a GM to warn you not to assault someone way over your CR without choosing someone to modkill.

Dwarmin would be correct; I didn't roll for it. Even if I did, you'd have had to roll a nat 20 to hit him. And even then it wouldn't have done that much to him.

Note that it is still entirely possible to fight and kill a Lord; you just need to do something to weaken them first. Which, of course, will remain undisclosed.

My Bardic Knowledge check is +6, not 4!!

Don't worry though, I'm still glowing with being referred to as reasonably intelligent and sentient.


Anyway, as for unravelling. Isn't he suggesting we can carry on exploring the place if we wish, but if we find anything demony-related we should leave well alone or he'll be annoyed at us?

We're evil, right? So we could either thoughtlessly do what our "employers" (?) want, and get this worst demon, that presumably they will control, and that will probably eat us and stuff.

Or, if we believe the other one, we could summon the less worst demon, and in doing so/before doing so hope to attain a position at the head of the rebels and therefore gain the power of this demon, which to me seems to be the only way we can actually gain power without servitude. The Lords can promise us this that and the other but will still be their servants if we work for them.


But anyway - are both sides telling  the truth? Because it's a bit odd to find the Lord down there where his enemy was leading us, no?


So if a demon has to be summoned and destroy much of the world, it would be better that it be us that does the summoning. So we should do what we can to defy the Lords without getting killed, for now.

Whoops, sorry. Doesn't really matter, though; there's not that much to say about mines.

No, I didn't think it'd make a difference, I just wanted to enjoy feeling oppressed for a bit. And flattered, of course.

I've only posted what I have because I, being notoriously lazy, don't actually have the map for the barracks finished 0\\\0
However, it seems like I've gone too long without posting *something*, so I've put up the results of the looting while I finish up things for the next room.

1200 gold? Is it Ermine hide or something? Shoddily made weapons of gold bars?

Various amounts of unlisted low quality jewelery and some bits of money they had on them. Looking back, that was really weirdly worded. Fixing it now.
