Extension (Conan 2D20 V3.6 09302018) loaded.
Slumbara: What deception are you up to Meltam?
Meltam Perandus: I wasn't up to anything bad!
Slumbara: Slumbara does not believe you
Meltam Perandus: In fact, I am trying to get us out of this crazy-land
Delia: Volmalric, have you noticed that Slumbara and Meltalm seem to have some sort of long-running pent-up frustration with each other? For instance, while we are collecting these rare and valuable herbs, they are wrestling with each other on the ground?
Slumbara: But we haven't killed the server yet
GM: It's behind a load-balancer.
Meltam Perandus: But I suppose I'll speak in your language, Slumbara
Volmalric: Slumbara has intimate relations with many people, and Meltam is a magnet for strange and interesting things. Though typically things that are bad for long-term health.
Meltam Perandus rips his shirt off and lets out a batttle cry.
Meltam Perandus: No holds barred lets' go!
Volmalric prepares some bandages and a few sticks to use as a brace for when Meltam gets his twiggy limbs snapped
Slumbara: If you insist
Slumbara wrassles Meltam to the ground
Meltam Perandus: Agility - 11 Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 18]
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 8]
Meltam Perandus: Okay okay you win. But honestly, I wasn't up to anything.
Meltam Perandus: Id shrug empathetically if I wasn't pinned
Slumbara: Then why did you fight Slumbara?
Delia: I have noticed this, by the way, would you like one of these pancakes I've been holding on to?
Slumbara: Why would any sane man fight Slumbara if he didn't have to?
Delia offers Volmalric a pancake.
Volmalric: I'm pretty sure those pancakes are cursed, Delia
Meltam Perandus: Is there a reason I should not want to spar with Slumbara: Champion of Kush?
Delia: They taste delicious though.
Volmalric: How many do you have, and where are you keeping them all?
Delia: Don't ask a woman where she stores objects she wishes to keep toasty warm.
Slumbara: Besides, why are you trying to escape from here before we are done
Slumbara: We didn't come here just so we could escape
Volmalric does a double take at Delia
Volmalric: Those are pancakes, though. They're food! That can't be sanitary
Delia reaches into backpack and takes out a double-wrapped pancake.
Delia: You filthy minded man!
Meltam Perandus: If the old gods are so good, benevolent and powerful, how did they let the world collapse, and only steward a strange cleft of reality as this?
Meltam Perandus: Hrm?
Meltam Perandus: Perhaps we should have an exit available, no?
Delia slaps Volmlaric.
Slumbara: We need to make the special soup that the school master told us about so we can stab it into the server's heart
Volmalric: Parry 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Volmalric ducks back just in time to dodge the incoming slap
Meltam Perandus: Anyway, you have proved your prowess, lead on.
Slumbara: Yes, Slumbara is a wise leader
Slumbara: Once we have the magic soup, we can use it to dispell the server's shield of inedibility
Slumbara: Then we can eat the server
Slumbara: Or maybe the server will bring us food, they are a server after all
Slumbara: I wasn't really paying attention to the school master
Volmalric: Hm, do you think we can lure the demon bat to attack the crocodile king?
Meltam Perandus: I think there's something to that, since we can't seem to quite figure out this puzzle
Meltam Perandus: or at least go for the bat first
Slumbara: Insight Successes = 1 Complications = 1 [2d20 = 27]
Delia: Are you two done venting your pent-up frsutration?
Slumbara: Well Slumbara is the strongest leader, so naturally in the other loops we must have followed Slumbara
Meltam Perandus: Sure. Let's get to making the vorpal crocospear of destiny mk 2.0.
Slumbara: So.... That means... If Slumbara leads us, we will definitely not die, because we aren't already dead from before
Delia: Because we need to get these tasks done and get this book to my employer in Messantia.
Slumbara: Slumbara will go back to the Crocodile king and ask for his fang
Volmalric: Who is your employer? In case there is an untimely incident, we should probably arrange to deliver it eventually anyways
Kazemi (Volmalric): I trust Meltam to miscast a spell, but not to cast a spell
GM: That seems appropriate.
Volmalric: Okay, so, our tasks to get: Blood of the bat demon, tears of the dragon, and fang of the crocodile king
Slumbara: Didn't you say the fangs were fake?
Volmalric: The bat demon should be easiest, because we just have to slash it and gather the blood. This is complicated by its instant death scream
Delia: Right, that sounds correct. Things are a bit fuzzy at times.
Slumbara: Slumbara is confident that his one-act play will bring the undead dragon to tears
Delia: But I find these pancakes are pretty awesome.
Delia nibbles on pancake.
Delia ignores question about who her employer is.
Volmalric: The crocodile is tricky, because he has two sets of teeth. I guarantee that the Scholar King meant the interior teeth, but the gator will try to give us the exterior teeth
Meltam Perandus: Can't we fill our ears with wax and avoid the scream?
Volmalric: Dragon we know nothing about, except the death fog surrounding it
Volmalric: Probably, it's better than punching out our ear drums at least
Delia: If we convince the Bat Demon to marry Slumbara, then Slumbara can just use his spousal selective hearing to ignore it.
Volmalric: Actually
Volmalric: I think I know exactly how we can handle this
Meltam Perandus is confused at Delia.
Volmalric: I can concoct something to help with the bat scream
Volmalric: Then, we can make a bit and harness for Slumbara to wield
Volmalric: We lure the bat demon down, and then we have Slumbara leap onto its back
Volmalric: And attach the harness, steering the bat towards the crocodile king
Volmalric: Pitting the two against one another will get us both the blood and probably the tooth
Meltam Perandus: Volmalric: you are a skilled alchemist - don't you have a needle or something, or a hollow dart, so we can just, clandestinely, get some blood?
Volmalric: Unfortunately, there is also a non-negligible chance that the two fuse together into a demonbatcrocodileking
Delia: Are you sure you are okay Volmalric, that sounds a bit like a Slumbara plan?
Slumbara: Insight Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 28]
Volmalric: It is a Slumbara plan. I just wondered what could get the tooth, and that Demon Bat is probably one of those things. Slumbara is good with animals, and thus can probably befriend or at least control it for a short period
Slumbara: How many of Slumbara's business cards did you see in the cave?
Meltam Perandus: It's a demon.
Volmalric: Also, Meltam, I am not sure I can make anything mechanical that will pierce a "demon bat's" skin
Volmalric: It was a big pile
Volmalric: I'm pretty sure the Crocodile King had more cards than you currently have
Slumbara: Then you probably also noticed it last time
Slumbara: and the time before
Slumbara: and the time before
Meltam Perandus: What if you just gave it horrible indigestion so it...has a very very bad case of indigestion?
Slumbara: Can either of you read and write?
Meltam Perandus: YES
Delia: Depends on the language
Volmalric: Meltam can probably do it in any language
Slumbara: Ok, if you were going to hide a note for yourself to find in the future around here, where would you hide it?
Volmalric: Probably somewhere on the path down the cliff, because this would be the first opportunity for us to talk about the Crocodile King
Meltam Perandus: Id have given it to that strange gentleman who was peacefully living off lizards near the cave.
Slumbara: If you had to hide a note right here, where would you hide it?
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 9]
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 26]
Meltam Perandus: [1d20 = 15]
Volmalric glances at the thickest picket of plants, then thinks again and checks at the thinnest picket of plants that he would already have theoretically cleared out on previous runs
Slumbara sees a large rock balanced over a hollow and looks under it
Slumbara: Aha! Volmalric, are these words?
Slumbara hands Volmalric a note
Volmalric takes the note and looks it over
Volmalric: Huh
Volmalric: This explains how I can read ancient Atlantean
Meltam Perandus is most intrigued.
Meltam Perandus: May I see that note?
Volmalric: Yes, one second
Delia is looking over Volmalric's shoulder.
Volmalric is unsure if that last piece is literal or figurative
Delia: Wow, future you is a really bitter jackass.
Volmalric: Meltam, you're not allowed to talk to the bat demon
Meltam Perandus: Yes I know Delia, we eventually figured out the recipie for magic pancakes.
Slumbara: The bat demon can talk?
Meltam Perandus: It's gotta be on that note!
Volmalric: Yeah, apparently he's a complete dick, though
Slumbara: Slumbara knows how to handle a dick
Meltam Perandus: How could I talk to such a thing anyway? I can't speak Bat or Demon?
Volmalric: This is the kind you handle with a giant axe or sword or gilloutine
Slumbara: Slumbara also knows how to handle a giant sword
Volmalric: It can probably speak our languages as well, but it's evil and possesses you or something along those lines
Volmalric: So, you're not allowed to talk to it
Meltam Perandus: I doubt this future history. I am not predictable enough to fall for such an obvious ruse!
Delia: Actually, it does not mention the pancake recipe at all, I'm a bit disappointed.
Volmalric: No, but it does mention your edibility
Volmalric: No doubt because of all the pancakes you eat
Volmalric: So, clues I've left myself
Slumbara: I thought you were anti-canibalism
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 3]
Volmalric: Crocodile King wants to eat Delia, and is a coldblooded liar
Volmalric: Bat demon talk will always go bad in the same way, with Meltam dying in the worst sort of way
Slumbara: But how would it go bad?
Volmalric: And Slumbara's play for the dragon always turns out well
Kazemi (Volmalric): Volmaric does have paper
Slumbara: Slumbara has a plan, but I do not think you're going to like it
Slumbara: Volmalric, can you make something that will make a crocodile throw up?
Volmalric: Indigestion? Probably not
Volmalric: High explosives? Probably
Meltam Perandus: Now, this plan works amazingly, unless the beast's stomach actually is extra-planar. It may not be possible to fill it.
Volmalric: Do we have magic that would allow Slumbara look like Delia?
Delia: You could probably do it without magic.
Volmalric: Lore 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Slumbara: Animal Handling 4EXP/4FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Meltam Perandus: Survival Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 13]
Kazemi (Volmalric): Checking to see what sort of vision a demon possessing a Gator might possess, so as to figure out whether we want to do this after dark or just during the day. Day would be better if his vision is bad anyways, but if he has poor nightvision then we can go with that
Slumbara can tell you that Crocodiles probably cannot differentiate very well between different humans. It is not like they would necessarily care enough to learn the differences in food sources. Volmalric suspects that demons ignore normal rules and probably do not care what the vision of normal Crocodiles are.
Meltam Perandus: Hey guys, can we go East for a bit? I think we can source some wax to fight the Bat-Demon
Delia: I like the idea of bees.
Kazemi (Volmalric): Whiteface powder
Delia: Some honey would be nice on these pancakes.
Volmalric: Alchemy 2EXP/2FOC Successes = 3 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 7]
Kazemi (Volmalric): Expanding waves of vomit solution instead!
Volmalric: So, main thing here, Slumbara
Meltam Perandus: Looks like we only get honey pancakes if we live past this plan.
Slumbara: I am sure you will live, Slumbara is the one diving into a giant crocodile mouth
Delia: Honey pancakes would be pretty awesome. I'm off to find some bees.
Volmalric: You just have to shake this rapidly, then break the vials inside its mouth. Don't do it before you get in the mouth
Delia heads East in the direction of the bees.
Volmalric: Also, hold your breath and do NOT open your mouth while you're in there
Slumbara accepts the solution from Volmalric and nods knowingly
Volmalric grabs the back of Delia's shirt, holding her steady as she walks in place in the direction of the bees
Volmalric: Also, good news
Slumbara walks to the edge of the cliff and peers over
Volmalric: This is the first time that I've found this particular card
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 14]
Volmalric: So this is the first time we'll be heading down with this knowledge
Volmalric: Unless there are many other cards up here
Slumbara spots a large Crocodile sunning itself.
Delia: We really should get some honey.
Volmalric: We'll get some honey later
Slumbara: I bet the crocodile king has eaten many pancackes
Slumbara: He has been here for many years
Delia: Then he knows how tasty they are.
Slumbara: after we make him vomit
Slumbara: you can get some
Delia: Ugh, I'm not eating pre-eaten pancakes.
Meltam Perandus: but honey is pre-eaten pollen?
Delia: Sure, and alcohol is technically yeast manure, but that doesn't stop people from consuming it.
Slumbara: I'll bet you 1 gold that if you see a half digested pancake in his vomit, you will eat it
Delia: I will take that bet.
Slumbara: Volmalric, if this plan doesn't work, add an addendum to that note
Slumbara: "Don't feed the might Slumbara to the crocodile king"
Volmalric: Will do
Slumbara takes a running start toward the edge of the cliff and dives off
Volmalric: I wonder if something specifically happens to wipe our memories sometimes?
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 28]
Delia: Quite possibly.
Slumbara dives into the water without any major issues.
Kazemi (Volmalric): That looks like a chess queen
Slumbara: I hope you had a nice snack, because it was your last meal!
Slumbara: We found a note that said... Something, I wasn't really clear on that
Crocodile King looks at Slumbara.
Slumbara: But Volmalric said you're a big fat liar
Slumbara charges at the crocodile king's mouth
Crocodile King: What are you talking about, strange man?
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 24]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): [7d6 = 18]
Slumbara: [2d6 = 8]
Slumbara's sword makes a loud "clang" noise against the Crocodile King's mouth.
Slumbara: Now give us your real tooth
Slumbara: not one of those fake teeth you gave the other Slumbaras
Slumbara: Slumbara is no fool
Meltam Perandus: Observation 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Meltam Perandus (Just watching from the cliff)
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 32]
Crocodile King: Melee Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 23]
Volmalric watches as well, but gets distracted by motion off in the distance and looks at it intently instead
Slumbara: Acrobatics Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Crocodile King attempts to smash Slumbara with a foot, but Slumbara tries to nimbly dodge and dive INTO the monster's mouth!
Crocodile King: Acrobatics, Stealth Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 10]
Crocodile King snaps mouth shut and bats Slumbara aside.
Crocodile King: What are you doing, strange silly man?
Slumbara: We know you're trying to trick us
Crocodile King does not open mouth nearly enough for Slumbara to dive in.
Slumbara: You want to give us your fake teeth and also eat the nice lady that hired us
Meltam Perandus: Hey Volmalric, do the mobs reset here? Or are all these monsters capable of contolling how they manifest here?
Slumbara: You aligators can't be trusted
Crocodile King: I don't have fake teeth. Also, I cannot tell the difference between humans, so how would I know which one hired you and what gender it is?
Meltam Perandus: Doesn't the 'King' look smaller to you Volmalric ?
Volmalric: Wait, does it?
Slumbara: If you expect Slumbara to believe you, then open your moth and Slumbara will come take the tooth as promised
Crocodile King: Also, I smell Pancakes on you, and those Pancakes give me horrible gas.
Volmalric glances down to the crocodile again
Volmalric: Observation Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Volmalric: Looks about the same size to me
Volmalric: How big was he before?
Slumbara: Slumbara fed you an entire heard of elk in exchange for the tooth
Volmalric: Wait, do you think he reproduced by budding?
Crocodile King: Oh, really?
Crocodile King: Oh wait.
Meltam Perandus: Hrm. Maybe it was just my imagination.
Crocodile King: I know what the problem is. Hold please.
Crocodile King walks into the water and disappears below the water.
Volmalric: Wait, what's the crocodile king saying?
Volmalric: Where's he going now?
Slumbara yells up the cliff to Volmalric
Volmalric: Meltam, do you see the pile of cards next to the crocodile king?
Slumbara: Slumbara is not sure, maybe he needs to pee
Slumbara: This is very anticlimactic
A much larger Crocodile emerges from the water.
Volmalric: Uh oh
Volmalric: There's more than one?
Crocodile King: Ah yes, thank you for the elk. Quite tasty.
Crocodile King: I believe I owe you a tooth, correct?
Slumbara: A real one
Slumbara: We saw the pile of dead Slumbara cards
Meltam Perandus: Perhaps the notes weren't written by you?
Slumbara: At least one of us is wise to your scam
Volmalric: They were in my handwriting
Crocodile King: Very well, you are welcome to come try and pry out a real tooth.
Crocodile King settles down, opens mouth wide, revealing both sets of teeth.
Slumbara: in that case...
Meltam Perandus: That's probably not the hardest trick though.
Delia turns away and covers ears so she can't hear what happens next.
Slumbara takes out a homemade dentist's coat made from ferns and palm fronds
Slumbara: Doctor Slumbara D.D.S is making a house call
Crocodile King: Melee Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 15]
Slumbara climbs into the crocodile king's mouth
Slumbara: Observation 1EXP/1FOC Successes = 0 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 25]
Volmalric: What do you think the DDS stands for?
The tentacles begin writhing and swirl around Slumbara. He thinks he hears the word "PANCAKE" being driven into his mind telepathically with the same force as a jackhammer to the skull.
GM: (Actually, everyone hears the word PANCAKE telepathically)
Meltam Perandus: Doctor of Dental Surgery, but in this case, maybe he got called to fix a crown.
Slumbara stabs his broadsword into the gums at the base of the tooth and pries on it with all his might
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Melee 3EXP/2FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 30]
Slumbara: Broadsword: (Reach 2-Parry 1-UNB-5D): [7d6 = 23]
Slumbara: [2d6 = 5]
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 9]
Slumbara: [1d20 = 8]
Crocodile King: Athletics + 3 Success Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Slumbara stabs his broadsword into the crocodile king's gum and drives it deep beneath the roots of his desired tooth. With a great heave on his sword, he levers the tooth with all his great might. It pops free of the gum and Slumbara reaches to take his prize...
Slumbara is using a Hero Point
Slumbara: Acrobatics Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 6]
Slumbara grabs the tooth as it pops into the air. As he does the tentacles grab his ankles and wrap around his waist. Just as one loops around his neck and begins to squeeze, he smashes the two vials together and causes the noxious chemical creation Volmalric assembled to splatter everywhere.
The Crocodile King belches and bellows, as it does Slumbara is forcefully ejected from the mouth and sent tumbling head over heels down the beach. The Crocodile King runs into the water and disappears beneath the water. Slumbara has managed to procure the demonic tooth!
Delia is continuing to not look in the direction of the water.
Delia: Is Slumbara dead yet? I can't hear anything that sounds like death screams, just lots of vomiting and big things hitting the water.
Slumbara moves some distance away from the river's edge
Slumbara (shouting): Slumbara has been victorious
Volmalric: Climb up here!
Delia is carrying some rope that was previously tied to her.
Kazemi (Volmalric): Is there a nearby tree to attach the rope to?
Slumbara climbs up the cliff
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 2 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 21]
Slumbara: Athletics 3EXP/3FOC Successes = 1 Complications = 0 [2d20 = 22]
Volmalric ties the rope to one of the nearby pine trees, throwing the rope down to aid Slumbara in his climbing
Meltam Perandus: Quite well done!
Volmalric: Bravo, Slumbara!
Slumbara: Your vomit solution was most effective
Volmalric: Fantastic to hear!
Slumbara: Slumbara was about to get raped by tentacles
Meltam Perandus is using a Hero Point
Volmalric: I'm sorry to hear about your loss
