ooc thread too

IC thread >>219131 →

What happens in the ooh thread?

are you sure you wanna know

Imagining would be more fun anyway.

>>219143
I do, yes!

>>219156
Unfortunately, I can't reveal that information.
You'll have to discover in // it in character.

bleeeeeegghhhhhh

What does that mean?

Ive been sleeping for a bit and stuff and regret cheesecake and am tired and blargh

Oh and here I thought you were just late because of connectivity problems.

i need to carry uo a dresser with pan and enhasnt teplied yet because of work

Is that going to interfere with the game?

And are you comfortable navigating between threads?
Will you be able to post alright?

It will interfere in the way of i need to do that when its possible

I can navigate threads provably

When do you think that might happen?

Apparebtly pan is now gree so we can retrieve him so soonish i suppose

freee too

I'm asking you for timeframes.

I'm trying to figure out how long I should expect you to not be playing and when to expect that to begin and end.

shit fude uh i guess not this second and gove me like around half an hour?
Ill tell you when im done clearly

You'll need to go in half an hour or it'll take half an hour?

well it doesnt matter now since im not the one going to pick him up.
i can start now and just tell you when i need to bail for a few to get the dresser up

So like //
Uh
Felicity had just adorned snake buddy with feathers or was that about to happen

She was showing the feathers that Thomas had been conveniently keeping in his sack.\

So we're ready to get started?

Should be?
>>219198
Even Thomas is nt entirely sure what those feathers were doing there or where he got them

Looks like Kirara is away for a moment. We'll get started soon, I think!

Aaahhh, how far away, the ideal world

Hold your horses, kiddo.
Next thing you know you'll be writing poetry.

Its a granblue thing donr worry about it

So like when you two email is it like as fast as texting or instant messaging? Ive always wondered about using email as casual communication, it just feels so unusual or foreign to me since ive never done it

It's a bit of an uncommon thing for me too.
Emails in conversation have always been a sort of "send once every day or two, at most" for me.
If I need to get in contact with someone I usually have a more immediate method of contacting them.

Even when I'm travelling and sending back emails to let my parents know I haven't been eaten by cannibals it's only ever a mail a day.
Which usually doubles as a sort of journal of my travels too.
The ones I sent when I was in Japan were really long and elaborate.

I hope kirara isnt too sour with me, Ive just been tired and have a mild stomachache from eating unhealthy food today I assume

He's back now so let's get underway!

This giant snake god thing, was its head leaned close to us or is Felicity gonna have to get a-climbing up here.

Id think it leaned down for you or at least would rsther do that than have you grapple its body to climb up
Unless Kirara wants you to do some kind of skill challenge

Its head was on the ground, level to you.

did felicity have some cute ribbons to tie the feathers on with

Maybe you shouldn't have given your feathers away, Tony.

We are a team
It would be unfit for snakey poo to be pissy with ToN and VV just because we didnt also tie stuff
And if we had to have anyone be friends with them it might as well be out dancho-san

I guess native american deities are kind of particular about things

did you know that according to legend if you eat a hiintcabiit you become a hiintcabiit

also it's not quiet a deity
it's literally a water serpent

>>219233
yeah i can't believe this

Would you be surprised if I said no.

Im sure somebody would worship a mythical water snek

you're worshipping one right now

Yeah
all you meed to be a god is to be worshipped, right?

if it looks like a duck, acts like a duck, and people treat it like its a duck, it might as well be a duck at that point. Maybe it could even forget that its not truly a dick, and heaven forbid if that happens.

Can thiomas roll to white knight that shit and push vv out of the way

are you going to take the damage for her

Let's see, I'm wearing armor so I have -1 to athletics but a higher hit threshold, right?

Does my helmet come with a hit threshold?

will i die

probably not

>>219241
you have -2 athletics but +1 HT

and also >>219244

youre also wearing METAL

oh fuck now i have to try because if i fail ill just dlam into a suit of metal like an idiot

I don't like either of these options. Can I shoot lighting at the lightning?

you know what
yeah
i'll let you do a preparedness roll to preemptively shoot him before he shoots the lightning

if you pass preparedness, you'll have to pass firearms after that

Oh.
Maybe thomas should not shove vv at this point-
Vv you are not our caster

I meant like shoot my own lighting at his lightning.
If I can make a gun, I can make lightning, right?

you don't have lightning
that's a spell
you'd have to learn it

item creation in a dream is different from conjuring lightning

Lightning isn't an item anyway.

athletics for my roll kirara?

>>219256
assuming VV doesn't try >>219251, yeah

Can I make a rubber shield?

>>219258
not fast enough to avoid lightning

>>219257hai hai

you can also let ToN try to save you

That feels pretty cutthroat. I guess I'll just shoot him.

you do not pass preparedness

ton can still save you
maybe

gimme one more d6 ton

ok

Im the best

AROUND

difficulty 6 athletics roll to get back up since you have heavy armor on tika
rika*


just kidding

I was goong to have thimas crack his knuckles hit now thatd look like im copying you, boss

;_;
It finally betrayed me after all these times.

nice shotting tex

If i keep just using "thomas swats" or something everybody woll just think hes a stinky bot
boy

Of fucking course.

Wow he's really good at chanting.

I think ill go next boss, if youre down
Might as well make use of my pineapple

Maybe.
I've been a little hesitant about killing him since this is his whole dream city we're stuck in.

oh that is pretty fair.
If you want me to hold off i can

i have my mcgueens and two small bombs so i could try to choking gas his chanting

He's shooting lightning at us so you should blow him up.

I'll let you know OOC that killing him won't affect the city.

It also won't kill him IRL although it will weaken him IRL.

I see.

So would that have gone the same way for us if we had died in this dream world.

Hah , so he WAS lying about that being the way of getting out for us.
Or well not quite lying but definitely being deceptive.

No, if your team dies in the dreamworld, you'll die IRL, too.

If you die in the game you die for real

I cant velieve i trusted him about us not dying!

Using the giant snake as cover probably isn't very respectful.

Yeah.
On the other hand it would trigger its condition about not tolerating violence towards itself.
But at the same time that no longer tolerating would probably involve destroying us along with Singing Beer.

We're really not rolling well tonight.

Im getting the dresser so ill be out for a few, please continue

All these bullets are kind of half-assed.

SEE.\

Do we want to do a brief time freeze in-game until Tony gets back.
I assume you're counting down some kind of time or turn value until Seeding Boar is done chanting and it might be a bit unfair to not let him get a say in.
Unless you're already taking that into account .

tadaima

Speak of the devil.

aight imma throw some uh smokey gas with a small bomb

We've landed in a bizzarro game night it seems.
Rika and I are whiffing all our throws and Tony's getting the ones he needs.

Doesn't this smoke also, y'know.
Conceal Sleeping Bean.

Yeah, what kind of smoke is this?

I had considered the possibility of it concealing him, it is basically a smoke grenade.
But i figure him chanting is less than ideal

Doesn't that mean you just concealed him from bullets?

That's kind of what I was checking in on.

you can't really hit him easily now and also you don't know what he's doing

spoiler he's still chanting

I guess there's always the option of running away.

If we can't see into the smoke, he can't see out of it.

Yeah thats another option

Can I fire my GUN in the direction of the grunt as he retreats?

for a firearms difficulty of 6 you can shoot him with the GUN

Could Felicity make a similar shot?

While he isnt dream dead at this point this is probably win unless he messes with the dream to kill us

Oh well, I was close.

>>219391
no, rika can only do it because her axe connected with him

Fair 'nuff.

i will however let someone use a shadowing or stealth roll to try and catch him as he exits the smoke

Oh I see I didn't know he was out.
Is he running away or in the fight still.
Also yeah that should have been a wasn't.

He's not yet, but he's retreating.
Felicity is circling the smoke looking for him, so she could potentially see him.

He's planning on continuing to fight.

I took time to shoot at him so it would probably be up to one of you guys to find him running out.

Does this mean he's between Felicity's line of sight to the Hiintcabiit or is there an angle here.

You can attack about one more time before he puts the Hiintcabiit between you and him

Well I was more worried about him being between the Hiintcabiit and Felicity, hah hah.
With how miserable these shots have been tonight.

Oh, you won't hit the Hiintcabiit if you miss
I'm not mean enough to do that without warning you that it could happen first haha

tfw you don't have enough riding points left to ride the hintabiscuit

Are you fucking kidding me.

i can't stop laugh at your rolls tonight
what's going on

I don't know.
Maybe Samu's secretly tweaked the rolls when they're cast by my IP code.

I put everything I had left into that last swing so I hope one of you guys rolls decently at some point in the night.

I used my only two points of Firearms for that shot.

what body part are you swinging at rika

>>219419
I guess just his center of mass. VV hasn't really thought about swinging axes at people until recently.

lol
that 1

Well damn.

also you don't have to keep rolling athletics
the athletics was to account for the smoke before haha

We have a lot of 1s in our system tonight.

Oh, I see.
You can swing an axe with either weapons or athletics, right?

yeah, but if you're attacking, you cant bolster an attack to get past hit threshold without using weapons in this case

Wow, we're point blank!

yeah but you have to take the time to aim and fire at him
a tommy gun is extremely heavy and takes time to lift up to someone, especially with only one hand

on the other hand, he has his hand pointed at you ready to shoot lightning

hmm
He's on the ground, can I stomp on him or something?

You're a dainty British woman, I don't think there's much behind that.
If you hadn't tossed all that heavy armor a stomp would be much more effective.

>>219434
You could kick him in the knee or something I guess but you're not gonna put him down with a kick

Thomas hasnt been doing much but thats usually how these go. Cant really grenade when VV is right there and what it
not

>>219435
Stomping on people works for girls all the time in anime!

>>219437
more importantly than VV, the snake is right there

Ones and ones and ones and ones and ones and ones and ones

i'm going to let you redo that athletics roll because all of these 1s are ridiculous

>>219437
Yeah you're kind of limited in application.

More of an initiator, getting off a big explosion before everyone gets all tussled together.

my word

tfw

>>219444
Yeah, which i am super down with

I guess it's a good thing we're all still relatively physically healthy.

Would it be feasible (after rolls) to run up to him and give him a boot to the head in one go at it.

I'm at half health and I'm stunned and he's right next to me with an axe!
Meanwhile Thomas stands there slack-jawed and Felicity can't hit the broad side of a barn. I'm carrying this team!

You technically won't die until you're at like -12 hp I think

>>219450
like, knock him out, or just kick him in the face

The latter.
Though as far as I can tell that can some times do a good job of knocking someone out.

Or at least give them a good concussion.

if you can beat an athletics roll of 5, then you can get over to him before he can do anything to VV and use scuffling to knock him in the head
4 to kick him in the face, 6 to kick him hard enough to daze him, and 8 to knock him the fuck out

provided he doesn't manage to avoid the kick

dancho-san is based as hdck

I got worried for a moment because of that six.

you can roll sense danger if you're worried

Oh okay I guess the moment has passed.

Back to the ones.

heck yeah

"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""random""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" number generators

VV is probably undazed by now, she should be fine

And probably currently quite mad.

i'm going to need about a 5 minute break so i can use the little girl's room
gomen m(_ _)m

So do we want to kill him?

The party characters wouldn't know about killing him to weaken his real life body.

VV pls

Do i have rope from that roll kirara

Let's just cut off his arms and take him back.
His legs are paralyzed so we don't have to worry about that.

I mean...okay.

are his legs really paralyzed

he was pretending
that's why he was smiling when he flipped over and shouted that he got you

That's a good question.

On the other hand, can he shoot lightning out of the bottom of his feet like he can out of the palm of his hand?

Im giving you guys rope if i have it giys if you dont want to mutilate a man

what if he can shoot lasers out of his eyes

>Something close to a doctor
I...guess.
Most doctors don't use axes as surgical tools though.

He can shoot lightning out of his arms.
You can't trust rope to restrain him.

>>219549
She's kind of like a doctor without all those pesky ethical obligations.
This is a dream anyway, I can mutilate people if I want.

it begins to
it's not dissolved yet

Oh no.

If we ever play a different game out of ToC I'm gonna have to play a less serious character.
Being able to act like a lunatic would be fun but Felicity has done too good a job hanging on to her sanity.

We should have just killed him from the start!

>>219556
hahaha

>>219556
Are you saying I'm acting like a lunatic?

No I'm implying it.

Could Felicity grab on to the axe and do some sort of assist role?

Roll even.

Oh I guess nevermind.

Everyone and everything is taking my axe away from me today.

that roll

thomas is gonna have to jump on that grenade to save everyone

sorry thomas your story ends here

Sorry friendos

(that's a joke)

was that an athletics roll or an explosives roll ton

it was a toss of the grenade so i assumed athletics
>>219586
hue hue hue
you got it

ok if you can give me an additional explosives roll you might be able to salvage this

This isn't necessary criticism but more observations, but the simplification of ToC down to a strictly D6 system feels like it opens up much more space for failure than with systems that use other kinds of dice.
When you only have a range of six faces, you really only have five choices for difficulty rolls.
I guess the flipside is that it also opens up more space for success, but there's also what sort of feels like a very binary result.
You either do well or you fail.

Such a simple d6 system is probably tough for the game master.
Some nights have been easy because we keep rolling well and killing his monsters, and then there's nights like tonight where we can't do anything right.

its okay we did it?

yeah, the D6 system is a little hard
it eliminates a lot of the roleplaying and stuff too

if we ran another cthulhu game on /moe/ i'd recommend the CoC system for sure

The game I ran had a pretty stable system so it was easy to balance.

the axe got blown up by a grenade

Thankfully this is all a dream and she'll have it once she wakes up, right.

>>219609
it's a dream but it's also real!

So the axe will magically be gone?

the stuff that is happening to you is actually happening because your physical bodies are here

SB on the other hand is here while he is asleep so he's not physically here

I didn't even want to be the melee character anyway! It just kind of happened!
It makes no sense for a british lady to be the one swinging the axe at people! It just kind of happened!

We kind of lost the most ideal person for physical confrontation early on.

Its okay well buy you a new axe when we get home

you can probably get a cool axe from the injun folks

I don't even want an axe. I just want people to stop shooting me with lightning and teammates that can shoot straight.

haha

this is about the stopping point for tonight i guess

it went pretty well

Oh I guess I can probably first aid myself up a little bit.

Oh wow I completely forgot about the time.

I guess we're going to need to think about combat tactics a bit.
I have no weapons so I'm not really that good at using melee weapons.
I really am not good at combat at all, I kind of designed the character to be a dead weight kind of character assuming the group would make up for it.

Guns seem to not be working out for us at all.

And we need something for ToN to do other than throw bombs if he's just going to stand there and watch when someone is in the blast radius.

I wasn't entirely expecting a lot of combat personally.
Or well, expecting it in the frequency it exists.

And we did lose our somewhat expected combat character early on.

I've been making the combat really easy since you've got no stuff

Spells will be available soon though

I expect Felicity will probably pass on them but VV and Thomas might want them

spells
hehehhehehhehhehe

I think I'll just have to get weapons at some point since the solution to pretty much everything so far has either been riding or an axe.

maybe i will find a summon horse spell and you can be a cavalry unit

I spent a bunch of riding earlier. If I had 10, maybe I could have tried to ride the halibiscuit.
That wouldn't be very respectful though.

You would go out in a blaze of glory though.

sure would be a shame if the snake got out of the dream world and was disrespected though

we respect him at least

roll a d20 to respect snakes

I don't think he has really good manners.
Someone was not respecting women by shooting them with lightning bolts right next to him and he didn't do anything.
