OOC: Chat, Natter, Gossip, and Kvetch

[Zhym]

Zhym and Captain Kinkajou: What circumstances lead to Thunk and Tarka lying in a operating room in a Local Franchise Temple of Nul, The Mindless God? Were you captured, or did you willingly submit to join Nul is a state of Blessed Decapitation, free from worry, regret, and thought?

The church preyed on Thunk's vanity by offering him free hairdressing services. When you have a luxurious full-body mane like Thunk's, that's something you don't turn down lightly. So when the Hairdresser of Nul said they'd to take "a little off the top," he didn't realize what they meant until it was too late. Maybe he doesn't even realize it yet. He just thinks this is a very strange spa. Though he's still not sure why they strap you down for your treatment.

...or perhaps a story that's more plausible?

The real challenge is figuring out why anyone would be interested in what's in Thunk's head!

Oh, btw, I was thinking of adding hair product to Thunk's inventory. It could even have some function other than just flavor, maybe, although I'm not sure what. Maybe it's like a flask of oil?

[Pulpatoon]

Maybe a skin full of mastadon grease? It makes a strong all-body pomade.

[Zhym]

Of course. You've got to use all parts of the mammoth, after all.

[rossik]

just didnt get if Gori is awaken. also, what about...*cries a little* lil'Karas?

[Pulpatoon]

Gori is presently asleep. We don't yet know about your little friend!

[Zhym]

Is Thunk still sedated?

[Pulpatoon]

I really should have said "asleep" rather than sedated. I don't think Wither is going to bust out of this place with 4 unconscious bodies over his shoulder. I'll go make that edit, now.

[Zhym]

But no need for me to post yet, unless Thunk is having interesting dreams.

[mjulius]

My understanding is that Wither is in pieces in a sack.

[Pulpatoon]

Wither was in pieces in a sack, but has now re-incorporated.

[mjulius]

Oh. I assumed he was dismembered:

Wither himself had been collected in a sack and dumped ceremoniously in a corner of the room, ext to a bin labeled in Undercommon: "DISCARD HEADS."

So Wither can get up and move about? Does the urethra know this? Are we alone in the room, still? If yes then I think Wither might sneak towards the scrolls.

[Pulpatoon]

You're alone in the room. One might presume that Urethria did not realize that Wither would be able to revive himself. But then again, she has proven to be a wily one.

[Zhym]

His interest piqued, and no one about (it seems), Wither quickly steals away, low to the floor like an undead commando, snatches the scrolls and gets back in the sack where he reviews them furtively.

Never rely on a lich for rescue.

[mjulius]

Hooboy. Is there anything in the room that might allow waking these PC's up? Reversal agents, etc.? Wither is fairly learned so he might know if he sees anything.

Do the doors look like they lock from this side?

[Pulpatoon]

There are lots of jabby-pokey things. I bet those would get them on their feet!

I changed their description from "sedated" to "asleep" so all you'll have to do is wake them. Otherwise, you'll have to explore the room IC to learn more.

[Pulpatoon]

Nice!
about the priest and the others, do they seem to me like enemies? I just woke here, so i may have little clue about it

(i was first level, so now that im second, i roll 2d8, is that it?)

For hit points: yes, roll 2d8, and the result is your new hp total/maximum. If the result is smaller than your level one hp max, then ignore the roll and increase your level one hp-max by one point. In Dr. Gori's case, that means that if you roll a 4 or less on 2d8, then your new hp maximum is 5.

You also get to add 1 to three abilities. This applies equally to the bonus and the defense scores (Your Defense Score is always just the Bonus +10). You can choose which abilities, or roll to see what goes up.

As far as the priest and his acolytes, you don't know. At the moment, they just look shocked. You haven't had much time to get used to the situation, and now you must make a choice with potentially dire consequences! Drama!

[mjulius]

[2d4] = 5

STR [1d20] = 17
DEX [1d20] = 10
CON [1d20] = 17
WIS [1d20] = 14
INT [1d20] = 11
CHA [1d20] = 10

I'll come back to this..

So, looks like I got a bit of a bump to my dexterity, intelligence, and charisma.
Also, no longer 1 hit point...

[mjulius]

Comprehension slowly dawns on Thunk's furry face. Something isn't right. Why is this man yelling an alarm? Thunk takes another look at the bare tables, the array of strange tools, the distinct lack of ferns and cucumber water. Then it finally hits him.

"This spa not licensed!" he declares triumphantly. He tightens his grip on the robed man and tries to cover the man's mouth to keep him from screaming any more.

Hilarious! I laughed out loud.

[rossik]

sorry guys, im lost here. is Doctor Gori in episode 3?

edit: doh! as i had not written a single word, i didnt got the notifications, so i forgot about the game. sorry, busy week and other games going on. no offense, Pulpatoon, as a im loving this game. now im back on!

[Captain Kinkajou]

Pulpa suggested we try and figure out a strategy but I'm a bit lost for ideas. If anyone has got a spark of genius that might get us out of this predicament, then speak up now!
