Let's Play Dungeons and Dragons: Alvis edition! (Game thread

[Blackferne]

Syrics blow lands striking down Hex-b. His dying words are "When the Dark Master returns, you will all sufferrrrr.".

We are now out of combat.

Congrats on your successful first combat! Each of you get 113 XP (battle budget was 675xp/6 rounded to nearest whole integer).

[Whiteness]

Syric looks around at his teammates "Dark Master?

[Reese]

Gobo will stand in the doorway of the forge blocking the exit as best he can and roar loudly.

"Before we go any further I demand to know why I was taken out of the battle in this forge! This is a great dishonor to my clan and family and cannot stand. By Bahamut you are lucky to be standing"

Snarling and gnashing he redraws his sword.

"I would rather be struck down than allow you shashtiup nebani from claiming the glory of defeating these dirty thieves"

Intimidate - Roll 1d20+8=11+8=19

Gobo is shaking, perhaps from rage, and his breath seems to be cold smoke.

[Blackferne]

[Staris]

Stavis will look to Gobo "Master Dragon my intent was not to pull you away from battle, but merely to do some quick combat medicine in the heat of battle, to ensure your ability to continue to fight here and in the future battles for the glory of your clan. Should the need arise again I can promise I will refrain administering aid unless requested as I must confess my ability to do so up-close to an enemy is lacking."

[Whiteness]

Syric glares at the Dragonborn, "You took yourself out of the battle when you let yourself fall so quickly, I stepped past you to do what you couldn't after I provided you some assistance"

[Blackferne]

Just as a matter of course, I cannot force a player character to be intimidated, but as a matter RP I'd say that Gobo's recent roll of 19 should be interpreted as follows:

You see a large heavily breathing dragonborn, weapon drawn huffing and puffing in the doorway. Maybe he is grievously insulted, maybe his grasp on reality is slipping, maybe he's just in a bloodlust from the carnage you all just unleashed. Regardless the rational course of response would be to treat the situation carefully. The irresponsible course of action would be to do what syric just said.

[Furiel]

Tony makes calming gestures toward Syric and Gobo and starts moving toward them to put himself between them if needed.

"WHOA, let's take it easy there everyone! No one took anyone out except us taking out them. I swear to Avandra that those guys may have looked like Dwarves, but they hit like Ogres. Tony Plush hasn't been hit that hard, that consistently, in a very, VERY long time. Honestly, probably since the last time Tony Plush did face an Ogre, but that's beside the point.

Syric, you didn't get hit by them so don't presume to know how quick or hard those bastards were hitting us.

Gobo, Stavis did what he thought was right because he didn't know you and didn't understand. It's always a learning process when a new team works together. But we won, they lost, none of us are dead, so let's just take a few deep breaths, calm down and let's not let this victory turn into a loss because we can't all get along!"

[Whiteness]

Syric continues, "If you want to know who dishonored your clan, take your wineskin and go find a reflective surface to look at"

The last kill giving Syric an unfounded sense of bravado

Itimidate:
Roll(1d20)+4:

[Dood]

So, I guess after my last kill, Ham kneels with his sword as though in prayer, then plops onto his arse and pulls out his wine skin.

[Jimer Lins]

Trinal is still sustaining his lightning, so there is a crackling aura of electricity surrounding him, and watching the situation very carefully. He slowly takes several steps back, placing him on the more certain footing of the road.



Can I suggest that perhaps we should calm down? I'd rather not turn a victory into defeat by falling upon one another.

[Furiel]

Since we're out of combat I'm going to start spending healing surges to heal up, not sure how often I can spend them...but I'm doing so...

"Syric!! That's a hell of an example of that silver tongue you claim to have. You will shut your mouth and you will take a walk right now!! Go get the wagons so we can start loading the goods or I swear to Avandra not only will Tony Plush let Gobo tear you limb from limb, but Tony Plush will help!"

[Reese]

Gobo gives a slant eye to Stavis

"Stavis, you poor sjaadur ihk vi thurirl, that half apology will not suffice. But it is clear you are untrained and unskilled in battle. If you are remove me from the front lines again you will pay with your head."

Turning his full attention to Syric and ignoring Tonys pleas

"You were less of an issue besides your decision to prevent my reentry to battle. However it seems you believe yourself equal to me in battle. And you use the words of a wielgtor thurirl. By Bahamut do you have the stones to back up your dishonorable threats? If so draw your weapon and die. If not shut your lpuul mouth"

Gobo's initial rage towards Stavis seems to have shifted to offense and anger at Syric.

"I will ask you all but Syric to leave the forge. This room will either be bloody or filled with the tears of the traitorous Syric."

[Dood]

Ham will finish his skin and then lay back and nap. After a few moments, he springs up, walks over to ten dead dwarf nearest him and takes his crossbow, bolts, and anything else that may be useful.

Once done, he mumbles a short prayer, then plops back down and pulls out his wineskin again, only to remember that it's empty. He drops it on the ground and then stretches back out.

[Jimer Lins]

Gobo, if you don't stop this now, it cannot end well for you. What good is your honor if you're dead? Because I promise you, that's where this leads if you don't turn aside. Don't taint our victory here, which you helped make possible.

[Whiteness]

Syric ignores Tony, the gnat that he is, and continues to focus on Gobo.

"You're the one that ignored the plan and rushed in drawing attention after sucking down on your wineskin, you're the one that is threatening teammates with your current actions. Now you're putting words in my mouth and name me traitor as well?"

[Dood]

[ooc]Fyi I edited my previous post.[/ooc]

[Whiteness]

Hearing the other half-human speak up, Syric tries to stop pushing the situation any further.

"Gobo, I don't know what your problem is, but you started this confrontation and I ask you to let it drop. I apologize if you took my words to mean something they were not."

Diplomacy Roll(1d20)+6:
15,+6
Total:21

[Blackferne]

Ham'mon adds 1 crossbow and 10 crossbow bolts (slightly used) to his inventory.

[Reese]

Gobo grows loudly at Syric.

"You are mistaken. This began when Stavis dared to remove me from battle. I'm only here to finish it. You claim an apology while throwing offense. You also are clearly lacking strong training. Between you and Stavis this venture is filled with poor amateurs. Both apologies were weak and you should be ashamed of your behavior."

And loudly to everyone

"As for my battle strategy I was clear that I fight or I die. I do not sneak. Honor dictates I face my enemy eye to eye. If you don't care for the military strategy my clan has employed for 1,000 generations declare it vur xikin wer price persvek iejir."

Gobo swings hit fist holding the sword, punching the doorframe knocking the door off the hinges.

"Mr Plush if you would deal with the theft issue please."

He turns around and growls as he walks towards Ham'mon. He places his sword in the ground and kneels. Prayer, tears, anger, smoke, and a cold aura around him.

[Blackferne]

Okay so are we done with the Captain America vs Iron Man vs Thor moment in the Avengers?

If so, what are you guys doing?

[Staris]

Stavis will exit the forge and take a short rest using Song of Rest (+4 to surge Value for me and everyone) using to 2 Surges to fully heal up unless battle interrupts this.

[OOC I will be singing this as both instruments are still back at camp on Dragon.]

[Jimer Lins]

Trinal allows his lightning to dissipate and takes a breath.

Boy, that escalated quickly.



He then sits down to check his arrow wound. That was ouch. By the way, we seem to have a mine shaft nearby. Perhaps we should ensure that there's nothing else in it after a short rest?

[Staris]

"I will volunteer to go a short distance in to see if I see anything but will not risk full search for I would rather not get lost in there should it be like many I mine I have perchanced upon."

[Dood]

Ham opens one eye and looks queerly at Gobo.

Is your skin empty too?

He closes his eyes again.

Probably just as well. The dwarves should have some good brown ale somewhere. Wouldn't want to fill up too soon on bad wine.
