Thread #37981

doot

I'm going to go clean my glasses while the avengers assemble.

Present.

>>37985
Hibikiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

we'll all float on alright

toot

I'd figured we were on the same "day" as we have been all the time in Florida.
Driving to and from Orangetown, interrogating a numbero -number of people, getting chased by a mob boss, piloting a boat out into the swamp, all seems like it would have taken up a lot more time.

Yeah. You guys managed to get on with everything pretty quickly this time, all in one day!
But it is probably going to get dark soon.

did you guys figure out what you were doing with eddie?
since you brought him along

I have no idea.

He's a meat shield.

So you're taking him with you off the airboat towards the smoke?

I hadn't thought that far ahead, to be honest.

daijobu

Why did we bring him along, anyway?

I hope it's not too late to retroactively say Felicity took the eyes -took the keys to the boat with her when she got out.

>>38012
Felicity's mindset was that he's a murderer and not trustworthy enough to let out of sight.
No one had any complaints to bringing him along so he kind of just got stuck with the crazy party.

yeah you turned it off so you have the keys

But now that he's kind of out in the middle of a swamp with a bunch of crazy things he's less likely to run away.
Plus it does always help to have some one watch the boat in situations like this.

Does he think we're going to find a different boat home or something.

He's pretty crazy

who knows what kind of things he's seen in the future
nobody ever asked him!

He probably means that he'll die if we leave him there overnight.

damn

Brutal.

I may have forgotten // the monkey thing with guards got it

ape

the only difference between a monkey and an ape is whether or not it has a tail

Which in itself is the product of many degrees of biological diversity.

Was any one of us smart enough to take the photo that Archibald had at the briefing.
I don't think so, but just in case.

Everyone can roll preparedness to see if they took it.

Four or higher?

Difficulty 4, yeah.
Looks like VV has the photo.

Well I guess Victoria had it.
As expected of the crazy people to take the crazy photos.

hmm
Do we have anything with us that we can use to prove that we can hang with the eldritch?
I think that book is back at the mansion.

We did, for a while.
But then you threw it into a propeller.

That thing was trying to snatch our stability away, it had to be done.

More importantly, it was trying to snatch Thomas' body away!

yeah but my stability

VV is sending the scrawny nerd to go fight an ape monster

Kirara what was Archibald's full name again.

Oh yeah, Hamlin, wasn't it.

Archie the QT Patootie

Yeah, Hamlin.

I can't fight a honkie

Hilly Honka and the Eldritch Factory.

I'm spending a language section on my character sheet, Kirara.

you can't learn Muscogee, it's pretty much a dead language and there aren't resources to learn it outside of the seminole tribe
it's only spoken by like 2000 people in the entire world these days
around 4000 back then

I feel Victoria is only making the Aboriginal matron think she is the crazy one here.

I had a feeling that would be the case!
Ignore that post!

nice try though

They can't be in a swamp full of eldridtch monsters and be unaware of it!

maybe they don't know that it's eldritch
maybe it's all normal to them!

I bet some of her own dudes are TAKEN

There's only one way to find out

Poor Eddie.
Out all alone in the dark, Florida swamp.

I can't believe Eddie's fucking dead

vv and eddie sitting in a tree

[vomiting intensifies]

Being C R A Z Y

He can't pay rent if he's dead.

rent for what

Being owned by VV

Victoria was trying to buy his "studio" if I remember correctly.

VV offered to help him with his mob problems so he owes her now.

I should have asked for directions before this happened.

your one mistake was allowing those two to speak

The one mistake that happens in numerous quantity.

Thomas did nothing wrong.

He was content to accept that this elder and her people were unaccepting of his party and accepted what kindness she offered!
VV ruined everything!@

NOT THE STINKY KNEES

What DO we have to offer.
Felicity has a handgun, camera, and notetaking tools.

>>38140
I know!
But all the bargain skill in the world isn't worth much without something to work with!

I believe the handgun is both important and also not something they'd want at the least.

>>38137
and 6 bargain

But as a just in case, Conceal is a roll, right?

i'll let you spend 2 bargain to negotiate it so you can give her something later if you don't have anything now
or say you'll give her something from the boat

>>38141
Yes,

I'm struggling to come up with anything better.
Do you two have any ideas?

I mean this is kind of meta-gaming but this IS the meta-game thread.
But I'm trying to look ahead into the flow of things and I'm not liking my odds with a deal like that.

yeah it's fine
this is the kind of game where you have to do stuff like this
it's a mystery game!

I'm sure VV has some expensive knick knacks on her.
What do savages who live in huts even like?

You could always trade first aid supplies or something like that.

You could also choose to go without the guide or just not go.

Would Victoria need to roll preparedness to have first aid supplies on her, or is that just a given considering her high skill.

She has 8 first aid so I think it's reasonable to assume she's got supplies on her,

Wow, Nurse Rika banzai.

First Aid is usually a GA but I'll let you spend one of your points to trade first aid supplies for the warrior - with a 1 point spend in bargaining

so that'd be -1 bargaining for tilde and -1 first aid for rika

All right.
Are you fine with that, Rika?

yeah, that's fine

All right.

Should we be rolling for very silent walk?

No, that's fine haha

vv is pretty good at being silent

surprisingly

Talk shit lose intestines.

funny you should mention losing intestines

Maybe Eddie has struck up a friendly conversation with the Stikini."

They'll get mad at me if I start yelling.

We'll be very dead if you start yelling.

We have to deal with the thing eventually.
At night, in the dark, in the swamp seems like just as good a time as any.
We even have cannon fodder!

do you think you can fight a stikini
it's not even the thing you came to deal with

Of // if it can be killed by explosions and I can find them in this bag then I guess but I'm not PLANNING on it

it can be killed with a sharp stick even
if you do it right

tl/n: lightbox is flashlight

Yeah figured so.
Preparedness roll?

nah you guys can get one from the airboat which has a light on it

well VV also has one

She can just "remember" it was on the boat.

By the way Kirara I did my Googling and I know what you're doing here.

do you

I have an inkling.
Felicity doesn't though.

Finally our kuso mage can cast EXPUROSHION

EXPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOSION

I have a floridian in my ear, Owl, and he's a big nerd.

We came to save Eddie, don't blow him up

RIP Night-Seer

I can't believe Eddie's fucking dead

are you a bad enough dude to take on a stikini
>>38247
who said eddie was dead you didn't even find him

me

Who has the handgun?

Felicity

How does gun firing mechanics work again?

You use the second stick and press R2

>>38254
say you want to fire and roll a d6

Well I'll give it a shot, hoh hoh hoh.
#d6 (5)

alright roll another d6

#d6 (3)

;_;

daijobu that's the damage roll

You can fire again if you want to
Anyone else can also attack if they want to

I was waiting for felicity to cripple it so if she's done then I'll go

Pft.

What a kuso mage.

critical failure thomas kills everyone

Rest in peaces everyone.

I'm kinda far away and in the water surely I'll be fine.

I was planning on having Felicity fire off another shot if there was no sign of Eddie but I guess the absolute terror of having an explosion possibly go off so near would have distracted her from that.

An explosion might spook the birds though.

OTL

everyone should roll stability by the way
diff 4

#d6 (3)
RIP.

I can never catch a break on stability.

>Rika
>Worrying about stability

at least you aren't ton
who has 3 stability

Is Stability the one that repl-oh.
Hah hah hah.

Stability is game over at -12 or so, but once you go below 0 shit starts getting bad for you

Stability can be returned to you
But yeah losing too much fucks you up

Was Sanity the one that is temporary then?

Sanity never returns once lost.
And you lose at 0.

Sanity is also downed by your cthulu stat

i think that was the first time felicity has ever lost any stability

Yup.

I wonder how this latest stability drop is going to affect Thomas

i'll allow shadowing roll to find the organs more easily if you guys want

I was just trying to find organs for two posts and nothing was happening so I rolled

>>38329
This is practically Felicity's talent.
Spending +2 for the roll.
#d6 (5) + 2
EYES LIKE A HAWK.

You got out-talented.

Yeah but I rolled first.

A cut-in? Are we doing an all-out-attack on these trees?

yes

Which of us is senpai

The only time Thomas has ever had something was so he could fail even more spectacularly afterwards.

Could you imagine if every one of his explosions had worked.

There'd be no more mob boss
There'd be no more stinky knee

Why hands.
Couldn't she have just, k'now, booted them off the branches they're presumably hanging from.

>>38353
explosions wouldn't have killed it unfortunately
>>38354
hahaha

Need ritualized weapons or the method we're using right now.

Night-Seer has a proper weapon for it

Ritualized EXPLOSIONS

thomas is being helpful

He has to make up for how often he ruins everything with poor rolls.

It keeps happening.

IT KEEPS HAPPENING.

I can't breathe

Neither can Thomas.

I'm clearly getting all the 1's out of my system so I can make Kirara and his party suffer next week.

Theoretically, if I approach a Stinky from behind, can I use riding on it?

I will allow you to spend 4 riding to ride the Stikini

just because that's super ridiculous and i like it

A golden rule from a golden GM: "If letting it happen is cooler than not letting it happen, let it happen." Or something along those lines.

It looks like they killed this one before I could ride it, though.

There will be more of them, don't worry!

I feared as much.

i'm not going to make you guys roll stability again for this time

thomas please

also it's 1:10
this might be a good place to stop

Yeah I was checking the clock and wondering how you were doing.

yeah

I can go a little bit longer if you guys want to.
Fish is doing something so we wouldn't go to bed for another 50 minutes or so anyway.

I would like to be asleep, really.

Yeah it's fine.
We can resume looking for whatever's imitating Vernon's voice in the next session.

wow why do you think something is doing that

A wendigo

I'm fine with going on but it looks like ToN is dying.

Like I would keep going for about 20 minutes at most but I'd kind of like to sleep, ahha

>>38416
I am very suspicious of disembodied voices coming out of forests in the deep of the night!

Rejoice, Kirara.
Aurelia won't have to deal with me rolling natural 1's for you guys getting hit.
Isn't that great?
Now you're sure to die.

That's fine, just go to sleep.

>>38420
I guess the truth will soon be revealed!
>>38421
doubt
goodnight ton

We still need to find Eddie.

You worry about Eddie so much!

ai yo

We took him into a dangerous situation, we have an obligation to watch out for him.
It's like you guys don't have an ounce of nobility in you.

we don't

he's a filthy white person
A TRESPASSER

Felicity was more than willing to go back for him once things got dangerous!
Plus she's the only one that's been calling out for him!
