Turn 10Equip my emergency crucifix and charge at Goatsby, and stab him.
4-1 vs 5ENEMY POST
ALWAYS ALL CAPS. IS THE MINIMALIST WAY.
---------------------------------------------------
"REALLY? UGH. NOW THIS IS JUST DRAGGING ON AND ON AND... I'M A BUSY GOAT MAN, YOU KNOW!"
DISINTEGRATE THE PRIEST. FAILING THAT, TELEPORT MYSELF AND MY TWO SNEKS TO A SAFE LOCATION.
4 vs 2-2,4(Fighting)
4 vs 4(Init:Zultan.)
The properly prepared priest always carries a backup crucifix. Harold flicks his wrist and his backup sacramental drops down and folds out into position. The tiny sharpened point slides from its sheath and glimmers at one end. Harold charges Goatsby, but the
goat actual human casually sidesteps due to Harold's earlier injury. Goatsby then unleashes a final wave of Entropy Milk. This is finally too much for Harold, knocking him back into a wall. He doesn't disintegrate, but doesn't seem to be moving. Victorious, Goatsby waves his serpents away from their stalemate against the arm and teleports away.
Goatsby:You appear in the catacombs of your secret society. Skulls of men and goats line the walls as torches flicker. The serpents glance about and flick their tongues in curiosity.
Harold:You awake a bit later as Adam's arm pokes you. Goatsby seems to have left. At least the potentially world-ending milk is gone.
throw the gargoyle into the moat. let's see if stone can swim.
6 vs 2-1Arg.
1-2 vs 2(Init:Ziizo)
While the gargoyle is off balance, you drop kick it in the gut. The monster tips over and crashes into the moat with a resounding splash. The creature looks up at you with a cold resignation as it sinks into the moat. You have defeated the gargoyle and the way into the castle is now unguarded.
Anna thanks the blacksmith for letting her work as an apprentice. She notices that the blacksmith is suspicious of her, so Anna explains him her (fake) story: "I've came here from a continent to the West, across the Atlantic Ocean. I'm a citizen of an extremely advanced country called Republic of Nevada, where technology is advanced enough to be almost indistinguishable from the most complex magic. We have mechanical limbs and organs, advanced medicine, weaponry which can shoot scorching beams or green globs, capable of melting everything that moves..." Anna keeps talking about technology, and when she finally stops, she says, "...Unfortunately, our great republic almost got destroyed by a 5 years long civil war, and we only started the repopulation and surrounding exploration program a month ago. As for how I came here," says Anna while rubbing her forehead, "Uh... Looks like I suffer from a slight memory loss. That's one of the negative symptoms of using the teleport technology I've mentioned."
Anna tells the blacksmith that her name is 'Adelina Moffscrut' before finally leaving him to buy the cow.
Buy a cow and personally apologize to the farmer.
Since people consider me a foreigner, ask questions like, "Who's the local ruler?", "What country I'm in?", "Where's the capital of this country?".
Ask the villagers if they need help with bandits or any other threats.
5 to placate blacksmith, 3 for quest-searching. 2+1 to buy cow.You successfully convince the blacksmith to leave you alone. Then you purchase the cow with your earnings. It takes all your money, but you have the cow. You ask around to see if anyone needs your assistance against raiders or monsters. Nobody has anything particularly interesting at the moment. A shopkeeper asks you to collect 50
foxglove flowers. You also ask about where you are in the world. You gather that this is England. The official current ruler is
King Richard, but he is away on the
Third Crusade. Local power is divided between several factions, notably
Prince John.At about this time, a band of adventurers enters the village. Along with some human mercenaries, there's what looks a bit like a human-deathclaw hybrid, a well-dressed human with a sword, and oddly enough an animated mug. They seek you out specifically.
Alright, let’s get going to that Neighboring Village and see about some lady with a sign who probably came from some desert or volcanic location.
5As Glass said collect up the adventurers and the grail and go find Anna.
5Roll and try to guide everyone to the Neighboring Village. Try to find the foreign woman from dust and fire.
6Say that I don't know how I'm related to all these 'Holy Grails' and 'Unholy Pails' of yours. I'm simply a foreigner from an advanced nation.
Unless the village elder will say that the village has no threats, I shall refuse to come along with the party until I destroy the threat.
(Action prevented by circumstance, so no roll needed.)
The trip goes perfectly. Through possible divine intervention or just very good luck, you have an easy journey to the other village and find a woman who seems to fit your description. She seems generally confused about the situation.
Remember whether or not I prepared Suggestion.
6You did in fact prepare Suggestion. However, you accidentally cast it earlier while thinking "I should prepare sufficient castings of Suggestion." All of your third and fourth level spells for today are Suggestion.
It'll heal, attack with the frenzy of an angry injured insect!
5 to go into angry frenzy, 5+1 vs 4Roar!
2-1 vs 5+1(Init:Stormslayer)
The troll to revel in its strength, and says something suitably taunting. You are unaffected by the taunting because you're a bug. You pounce at him in a brief frenzy. There is shouting, there is blood, and then there is quiet. You rise up to find yourself standing over a dead troll.
"This will be harder than I thought."
>Grab
a crossbow and skewer the guards before stealthily extr[/sub]acting the [/color]milk. If the alarm is raised, give the reinforcements hell.
(Well, at least that style is easy to notice. The office of G.M.F.P.E.P approves.)
5 for stealth, 5+2 vs 2You slip by like a ninja, picking off guards with your crossbow. You then climb a tree and deftly scale the remainder of the wall with crossbow bolts as improvised pitons. On the other side, you're standing on the roof of a storehouse. This seems to be a likely place for storing milk.
The perfect weapon for me... something lightweight and precise. A rapier is more my style, but if they don't have those, a shortsword will do.
5They do in fact have a rapier. It's a fine sword, with a gilded hilt and a slightly reinforced blade. It will serve your purposes well. (+1 on fighting spiders with this sword.)
LET OUT A YELP OF DISMAY
RESIST PANIC
THEN BEGIN INSPECTING THE VEHICLE'S DAMAGED PARTS. MAKE PLANS TO REPAIR IT... BETTER THAN EVER! WITH SPIKES! MUAHAHA.
6You begin rebuilding and weaponizing the wagon. You rebuild the thing in accordance with your own mad designs. The wagon now randomly gives -2 to +2 on any action taken while riding it. It also has spikes.
OOC:Sorry for the late update, the forum was down last afternoon.
Goatsby won the fight against Harold because Harold was on -3 on combat checks.
