View Full Version : You fight and Loot [OOC]
Hello!
This will be our out-of-character thread for the "You fight and Loot" game.
Before we begin, there's a mini game we need to play here in the OOC.
It goes like this:
I'm going to name a player.
Said player needs to choose one of the options bellow:
1 - Do nothing and earn 10xp.
2 - Tell an interesting story about their character and earn 100xp.
3 - Tell an interesting story about someone else's character, then both characters earn 60xp each.
The stories can be short and simple, a single sentence even. As long as they are something interesting.
example: "One time, I fell into a portal and spent a week lost in another dimension."

One time, Hoppington and Pew were out scouting a route to ambush a caravan when we fell into a pit trap. Luckily Pew is small enough that they could hold on like a backpack and hoppington was able to jump them both out.
I throw the mini game to PEW

The goblin cousins used to love to play Hide and Seek in the caves and forest near their home. Lilith always won, and Pew finally figured out that she was cheating by using the forest creatures as her spies. That day was the first day Pew won, and the family had a very meaty, very delicious stew that evening.
Passing the game to Trazz!

Trazz has always been the big sister of the group, keeping the others safe and patrolling for danger, but one day she tracked a particularly violent beast and got in a little over her head. Had it not been for Miik and their magic she may not be alive today. Since then she has secretly been trying to figure out how to use magic herself, although she hasn't had any success so far.
I will pass onto to... Gobbert!
Talivan

Miik And I used to hide and compete on who can get the ugliest face reaction by changing the flavor of food or candys from other goblins with prestidigitation, then run the fastest possible to avoid punishment while laughing to death!
I will pass onto to... Miik!
The stories are great! Keep 'em coming.
Meanwhile, the IC is live, right here (https://forums.giantitp.com/showthread.php?664236-You-fight-and-Loot-5e&p=25958015#post25958015). Whenever you want to join there. It can work in tandem with the mini game.

Many a night there's been when Miik and Hoppington get a touch tipsy and start swapping stories of weird stuff they've seen out on the water, each trying to sell they other on an even bigger more amazing more perplexing thing. It's all hogwash of course, but it's all in good fun.
Passing the buck to...Lilith!

Lilith made moonshine once, and told Pew about it. Pew, being a Cleric of Light and hearing "shine", thought it was something more magical and less drunken, and decided to bless the liquids, thinking they were part of some lunar ritual.
When the hooch was fermenting, the combination of potent liquors and holy magic was too much for the ramshackle still to handle, and the whole thing exploded on Lilith.
It was her strangest drunken experience ever.
Passing it to... THE DM! Earn your XP! :P
A lot of people are talking about bringing the donkey over, but maybe it's best if he stays put?
The Castle is likely to have small rooms, narrow passages.. stairs..
Besides, what if you want to be sneaky?
agignac
2024-02-04, 10:00 AM
I assumed there'd be some place for the donkey on the other side of the moat? A ruined stable or something?
Darius Vibrtrar
2024-02-04, 10:14 AM
Yea, just looking for a place to keep the donkey so it wont wander away on us

Besides, Miik has a way to transport our treasure just fine.

I'm imagining our ranger using the donkey and cart to jump the gap dukes of Hazzard style
lol ok.
Question: Do Harengon have dark-vision?

This first room still has plenty natural light! But further down Commodore will need either a torch or maybe someone can cast Light?

Will clarify a bit on something from earlier: Miik has essentially an enormous extradimensional space...that he can go into 1/day. Really good for transporting loot, as long as we don't need on-the-fly access to it. We'll collect stuff for a bit and then he can store as much as he can carry, if that's alright.

Wow! that's really cool!
Talivan: I think Gobbert is missing a language granted by the background. Can you check it?
Infernally Clay: I think Trazz is missing two languages. One from the background, and another from the favorite enemy. Which leads us to another question.. What is your favorite enemy?

Behold the Kobold ancestoral weapon!
Initiative order:
Gobbert and Commodore can act in any order.
This room is well lit with a couple torches on the wall, because the kobolds needed to see the color of the suits of their cards.

Just to move things along, I’m going to take the action of the first enemy in the initiative order.
After that, both Trazz and Gobbert can act in any order!
Max damage on the firebolt! Poor skank... :smalleek:
Infernally Clay:
What source material are you using for your Ranger features?
I understand it's not the PHB, but this class has been revised more than once.
Also, do you have to pick a favoured foe?
If anybody else has insight on which version of the ranger Trazz is, please raise your hand!
I just want to understand the class features.
Infernally Clay
2024-02-07, 04:22 PM
It's the Tasha's version of Ranger. You don't pick a Favoured Foe with it, you instead mark an enemy for additional damage once per turn.
Also that ranged attack on Trazz was a crit so you actually get to roll another 2d6 damage. If it's 5 or more she is down. :P
It's not a weapon attack. I rule it doesn't crit.
Keep fighting Trazz!
Darius Vibrtrar
2024-02-07, 04:30 PM
Gah! Traditional kobold weapons!
Chubby dex save: [roll0]
Surprisingly, Chubby is not dead! Even taking max damage.
I'm very tired now, will make a better post tomorrow, in the IC.
Nice Boots dex save: [roll0]

Should we, if we know how many saves are being provoked, roll them in our post and let you add modifiers?
I did it for Frostbite, which is just single-target.
It’s good either way!
It is a bit quicker if the player rolls the monster’s saving throw. But it doesn’t bother me if I have to do it.
Infernally Clay
2024-02-09, 05:04 PM
Posting the roll here. [roll0]
Friends, at the kitchen there is also a set of stairs spiraling down to another room.
Sorry I failed to mention it before, I thought Commodore was just peeking.
In summary: There are two ways to go:
1 - The large blue door from the mess hall
2 - Stairs going down from the kitchen
Well, to be honest, there is a third way – jumping down the trash shoot… but I mean... are you sure you want to do that?
Also, I need to explain about the jars of yellow gooey stuff.
But I’m feeling ill. I might not be able to post tomorrow, sorry.
Wait, Darius.. Is "Commodore" a title? I thought it was a first name :smallbiggrin:
No traps, and no locks. But let's just see if anybody else wants to do other stuff before we move on to the fancy room.

Yes! Its part of his background smuggler, he gained the title Commodore to pull off a heist, and then fled.
His name is Harrington
oh, ok, cool! Mr. The Commodore.
At this point you might be thinking I should change the game’s name from “You fight and Loot” to “You open doors and stare at Furniture”. But, please, bare with me.

Whoa!!, epic Failure, this is the end of poor Gobbert...
Hahah! Don't worry, there's a good chance Gobbert will come out of it, just fine.
This is a combat, and it is Miik's turn!
edit: Actually, Miik and Trazz can act in any order, then I'll take Gobbert's action.
For now, I'm in control of Gobbert.
Infernally Clay
2024-02-14, 09:23 AM
If disarming is allowed then that should be enough to do it. I think for extra style points Trazz will have shot the knife harmlessly out of Gobbert's hand, if that's okay. :P
Yes! Works just fine.
Let's wait for Miik's action. But yes, Gobbert drops his dagger.
He is still angry and murderous, though.
I skipped Miik's turn, just to get things moving.
It's Pew's turn, but Miik and Lilith can act now in any order!
Trazz and the Commodore already went, and Gobbert doesn't get a turn, poor guy.
edit: Pew gets an action, let's say your shout distracted the Commodore, because he missed anyways.
AvatarVecna
2024-02-15, 09:46 AM
sorry been distracted for a bit, ill skill for now and take my turn next time around
don't worry Vecna!
You take 2 actions. one delayed for round 1, and another for round 2. It's fine :)
Darius: I'll take the d6 you rolled for crit and add it as your sneak damage, because the ghost is in melee with Miik, you get sneak attacks.
However! You're under the impression that arrows are only half as effective on ghosts, compared to flesh-and-blood targets.
Darius Vibrtrar
2024-02-16, 01:31 PM
Understood! Well need some sort of magic!!!
Clay: you rolled a d6 for damage, but your character sheet says "longbow". Shouldn't it be a d8?
JNAProductions: The ghost is immune to cold damage. :smallredface:
You may choose a different second action.
By the way! The ghost is a medium-sized creature, so remember "fury of the small" applies.
JNAProductions
2024-02-16, 04:41 PM
I don't want to stab Gobbert...
Is anyone moderately injured?
Edit: Yes. Lemme do something about that.
Oh, at this point (round 2) the ghost abandoned Gobbert's body and is floating in spectral form around the room.
Gobbert is stunned on the ground, but he'll be back up on round 3.
Both Miik and Trazz are injured, you can check their HP if you click the "round 2" spoiler.
JNAProductions
2024-02-16, 04:48 PM
I did miss that.
But the HP, I saw. Gonna get Miik up to full and Traaz up a bit.
Saving throw against sacred flame: [roll0]
No need to save against toll the dead.
The ghost is immune to necrotic damage. :smalltongue:
JNAProductions: Let me know if you want to use your inspiration for this saving throw.
11 is a failure - The effect is getting the "frightened" condition for 1 minute.
Talivan: Just to get you situated with the latest developments –
Round 1 – Gobbert was possessed by the ghost, missed the turn.
Round 2 – Gobbert was stunned, missed the turn.
Round 3 – (Now) Gobbert is all better! Ready for action.
The ghost vanished! Perhaps you'll meet him again some other time...
From the dining room,
There is the brown door to the left, the gray door to the right, and the fancy door going up ahead.
Tracking back, there is the large blue door that leads to the mess hall and kitchen.
I'm under the impression that both Hoppington and Pew wanted to open the fancy door.
Darius Vibrtrar
2024-02-18, 02:14 PM
We doooo! Let's open the fancy door!
lol ok :smallbiggrin:
I'll make the IC post tomorrow.
Does everybody know what an ant-eater is? I’m only asking because it’s not that common.
I think it’s a marsupial.. not sure. But it has a funny long snout and powerful claws! That they use to dig up ant-hills.

Don't worry!
This is a game, meant for fun. It's not a job!
Take care of your life, mental health, and all that. :smallsmile:
There is a short-rest going on!
If you don't want to do anything, just say something like "I'm ready to move on".

Also, any of the books look rare or expensive?

I messaged our DM a roll, but from my end it didn't actually roll the dice. If it didn't, DM can roll for me.
Let's wait to see if Gobbert, Trazz and Miik want to do something in this room.
Then we turn our attentions to the strong-box!
edit: indeed, rolls don't work in Private Messages. I didn't know that :smallredface:
So if anybody plays backgammon with Pew, let me know if it's a honest roll or cheating.
Darius Vibrtrar

The bunny knows there's a lock box. He is going crazy to get at it. Someone pull a secret lever to slide the book shelf!!! Its probably one of the ant eaters.

Friends, I'm not feeling well today.
I'm overwhelmed with personal problems.
Even if I do find some free time, I don't think I'll make a post, because my mind is just not in the right place.
My apologies.
