Claire (human wizard novice)

Sweet, I decided to slack off from my homework at PRECISELY the right time.

I KEEP MISSING THESE

I AM ONLY EVER IN THE ODD NUMBERED THREADS

It's bright outside, I suggest we hit the sewers for a bit.

>Sweet, I decided to slack off from my homework at PRECISELY the right time.
Good timing, sir!

>I KEEP MISSING THESE

Won't be the longest session tonight, but this week should be pretty not busy for me.

>>9428451

Agreed. Eat some stuff on the way too

>>9428451
I don't really want to smell like shit when we meet Claire.

>It's bright outside, I suggest we hit the sewers for a bit.
>Agreed. Eat some stuff on the way too

Getting out of bed and your gear on, you smell food from the kitchen. There are some scrambled eggs--and no shit, waffles--kept heated on the stove with a note by them. Claire seems to have already left for her courier duties.

For food that isn't fresh meat, this is pretty good.

Enter the sewers through an alleyway grate, or any other means?

>I don't really want to smell like shit when we meet Claire.

Or, you don't have to enter the sewers. Short-term suggestions from last thread included hitting up a stable again or doing reconnaissance on high-value targets.

>>9428540
Feel a twinge of affection.
Wonder about it.

>>9428540
Read note.

I say we go for a stable. We could use a faster move speed both in general and before attempting to show Claire our courier-ness.

>Read note.
"Help yourself! I hope you got a good night's sleep, I tried to be quiet this morning. I'll be out until the post-noon delivery lull, but I'll see you then!
--Claire"

>I say we go for a stable. We could use a faster move speed both in general and before attempting to show Claire our courier-ness.
First two votes after this for either sewers or stable wins.

>>9428704
Holy shit, we didn't hear her leave? Can we grind for hearing points? Let's eat a fucking rabbit or something.

>>9428762
We do appear to have terrible Spot and Listen scores. That's probably worth correcting at some point.

Why don't we go spend some of our 125 gold on some ammunition for our crossbow, and maybe a dagger or two.

Can we buy Alchemist's Fire?

Stables. Lots of easy benies there.

>Holy shit, we didn't hear her leave? Can we grind for hearing points? Let's eat a fucking rabbit or something.
To be fair, you were asleep, and she was trying to be quiet. You can certainly eat something for a boost to your perception skills.

>Why don't we go spend some of our 125 gold on some ammunition for our crossbow, and maybe a dagger or two.
There's plenty of shops open now, can I get a second?

>Can we buy Alchemist's Fire?
If you find a place selling it, sure. Claire also has been working on alchemy, although her equipment is pretty basic.

>>9428865
I'd like us to go shopping for equipment. While we're at it we can figure out where we could steal Claire some new alchemy equipment.

Crossbow bolts, then sewer rats.

Yeah, lets go get a rabbit, and then to the stables for a horse. Just be careful guys, its daylight outside, so there will be more people outside who are more observant.

>>9428923
Sure. Street rats would be better. Less sewer stink, same Hitpoint recovery.

>>9428932
Bolts, rabbit/rat (Can we still get useful stuff from them?), then stable.

>I'd like us to go shopping for equipment
>Crossbow bolts

You head to the commercial district, and find numerous shops, as well as open-air vendors hawking wares. One of them is selling smell domesticated animals. Nearby is a shop selling legal arms, and you think that's an alchemist down the road a ways.

Action?

Check out what animals are for sale, and their prices

rolled 12 = 12

animal vendor

DM...

Would Natural Armor compromise our human appearance?

>>9428979
Definately! +8 Racial bonus to Balance, Climb, and Swim. Rats can also always take 10 on climb, which could be useful.

>>9429017
Yes, indeed. What animals do they sell and how much?

>>9429045
He owes us a bunch of choices then for "Rats eaten on the way"

>Would Natural Armor compromise our human appearance?
Depends on the source.

>Check out what animals are for sale, and their prices
Rabbits: 7 gold
Kittens: 1 gold
Ducklings: 6 gold
Chicks: 6 gold
Puppies: 9 gold

I'm just wondering...

Is it possible to eat someone who can give us a diverse range of voices? Like you eat a guy that can mimic different voices and we can make up our own unique voice?

>>9429091

Get a pet for Claire as a gift then something as a snack for us? I think a kitten since we ahem might have eaten her cat.

>>9429091
Eat rabbits, acquire better hearing.

>>9429112
I second this. We must get on her good side, just in case she becomes REALLY useful.

>>9429045
we already got climb speed

>He owes us a bunch of choices then for "Rats eaten on the way"
Would you like to have been seen chasing down rats in the streets? Unlike the day before, there's a decent number of people out and about. If you want to, then by all means.

>Is it possible to eat someone who can give us a diverse range of voices? Like you eat a guy that can mimic different voices and we can make up our own unique voice?
Would probably fall under someone with a very high Bluff score, but it's possible. You can eat a bunch of different voices and attempt to gestalt them, too.

>>9429091

Rabbit and kitten. Rabbit for us, kitten for Claire.

DM...

When you get the opportunity, and there's no rush presently, could you break down our skill modifiers to show us our racial bonuses/skill ranks? It would make deciding what to eat later on easier.

>>9429067
If we've eaten four of them recently, and haven't picked, we could just grab all the racials. It would be beneficial.

>>9429091
Wow those are expensive. So much for a copper-based economy. We could buy a couple bunnies. Maybe we should find a livestock vendor and buy an old sow. Pigs should have some Natural Armor (boars have 6) but have skin enough like human skin that it won't make us look like leatherface.

>>9429151
Climb speed never precludes making climb checks.

>>9429165
Let's not have been hunting rats. Not until it's darker out. I'd rather not be seen being a freak.

>>9429165
Let's gestalt the voices into something that we can accept sometime soon, if that is alright. Someone might recognize one of our voices.

>>9429091
a kitten, buy 10 crossbow bolts and a hunting knife from the legal arms guy, fuck the alchemist's fire, go out to some stables, quietly nom a horse, go inna woods, hunt some rabbits with the crossbow for a few hours, when we get them, skin them, then nom them, go into town to sell fresh hides and cover the cost of the kitten and bolts.

>>9429252

This man is a gentleman and a scholar.

>>9429125
If we want better senses, bats have Blindsense and +4 racials to Listen and Spot. They're likely to be catchable at night, especially now that we have darkvision.

>When you get the opportunity, and there's no rush presently, could you break down our skill modifiers to show us our racial bonuses/skill ranks? It would make deciding what to eat later on easier.
Next post, sure thing.

>Wow those are expensive. So much for a copper-based economy.
The child who is the main source of your local knowledge heard stuff about "massive inflation" from his parents, but didn't know much about it.

>Rabbit and kitten. Rabbit for us, kitten for Claire.
"Sure thing, guy. Hope your kid enjoys them." You now have 117 gold and change, and two squirming balls of fur.

>>9429308
Let's be careful not to eat the animals in front of Claire, if that is okay.

>>9429321
Cowards, if we eat Claire, we can get Magic!

>>9429293
Alright, let's go get a knife or something from the arms dealer along with some bolts, go inna inn and ask the hunters how shit's going along.
Deer are faster than horses AND they'll draw less attention than a suddenly missing horse, plus we can sell the hides to cover the cost of everything we've bought AAANNNNDDD when we're in the woods looking for deer we can nom the rabbits free from prying eyes.
Also drop the kitten off at claire's before we go inna inn.

>>9429299

Ignore females, acquire crossbow bolts.

>>9429340
then acquire deer and deerhide

>>9429293
Thanks, DM. You rock!
>>9429321
Agreed.
>>9429336
Yeah, one spell, which we won't be able to cast. Or casting ability, with no spells. Not worth it.

Go get some bolts, then check out that shady booth you saw over there. Might be some good stuff, but keep alert for any people attempting to hide themselves near it. Don't want to walk into an ambush or anything of that nature.

>>9429336

No no Claire is too valuable as a scapegoat later if shit hits the fan. If anyone figures out whats going on blame her for summoning a demon that eats people!

>>9429336
She's a novice, which means not much boom. IF we want magic, aim for a stronger target.

>>9429338
Do we possess the skills necessary to do this? We have no crossbow proficiency, and no ranks in Survival. We'd be running with a straight Wis mod.

So...Buy some bolts for crossbow? Find something that has proficiency with the crossbow and eat it?

>>9429391
Well, we ARE very fast, and we DO have some pretty good senses, if the crossbow really really is ineffective, we could always just chase down and beat deer to death.

I agree with the aforementioned purchases. Kitteh, Bunneh, Knife, and bolts, SOLD!

>CROSSBOW BOLT TIME

The nearest arms shop sells street-legal weaponry to those without license for "unduly dangerous" weaponry. They've got a mix, including crossbow bolts by the 10 (3 gold), and a nice selection of daggers.

Decide on purchases, I'm getting rabbit choices for you (because I'm sure you're going to find a spot to eat it shortly).

>>9429420
We make a better ambush predator than endurance runner. Pity deer can't be lured. But carnivores can...

>>9429430
Buy a ton of bolts, since we are probably gonna miss a LOT until we eat something that can use the crossbow. Also, get a really good knife. And I mean a DAMN good one. One that will sever men for less. Whatever that means.

>>9429430

20 crossbow bolts, maybe? Seems pretty inexpensive, and we can definitely use them.

>>9429444
Agreed, hunt for something dangerous. Get dangerous skills.

>>9429430
get ten bolts, a knife suitable for skinning wild game (It will both be useful and draw less attention to ourselves)
then look around shiftily and ask the shopkeeper to "see what's in the back room"

Since the economy doesn't seem to be DnD standard, might a Masterwork dagger be within our price range, Mr. DM, sir?

>>9429463
>>9429482
Just make sure it looks like a game-huntin' dagger and not something ded killy
that will probably set off some alarms

>>9429469
Seconded. At least 20 bolts would be good at this price. They're Very useful in hunting man and beast.

>>9429511
>>9429469
Thirded. Do they come with a quiver of some sort?

>20 crossbow bolts
"Here you go. That'll be 6 gold."

>Masterwork dagger

Iron gets my vote.

As does +8 Listen. The others are acquirable elsewhere.

>>9429524
>+8 racial to Listen
>silver masterwork

>>9429524
+8 to listen

I think iron seems more suitable for huntin' than silver and it's probably cheaper so let's grab that one.

>>9429524
+8 racial to Listen
That was the point of the Rabbit, plus our perception will need to be higher to find hiding prey.

>>9429524
HEY! LISTEN!

Oh, and Iron. Silver is overpriced and flashy

>Do they come with a quiver of some sort?
You've got one.

>then look around shiftily and ask the shopkeeper to "see what's in the back room"
"I don't believe I know what you're talking about, son."

>Hunting
Would be helpful to have some Survival skill first if you want to be efficient. Your call.

>>9429546
Silver, as far as I recall, gives -1 damage. Iron has no such penalty, even if it can't bypass DR.

>>9429524

>+8
>Iron

And we haven't actually eaten the rabbit yet, have we? Might attract unnecessary attention.

>>9429524
Is it 'Regular' iron, or Cold Iron?

>"I don't believe I know what you're talking about, son."
"Sorry, forget I said anything. Thanks for the bolts. I'll take that dagger."
Pay and leave.

>>9429577
May as well try, I don't really want to go for the horses in the stables because of the attention it would draw, and we could always leave some fresh meat out and wait to ambush a bear.
Then we could be part bear.

Go after hunting skill
Fine bigger birds for flight

Go to the stables before going to hunt

>>9429643
We should go drop off the kitten at the house before we forget. Write her a note saying its a gift, in case we're not there when she comes back.

>>9429643
No we're not eating a goddamn horse
we'd spook all of the other horses, get trampled, and if we somehow don't die, we'd be found out.

+8 racial to Listen acquired!

>Regular Iron
"No worries about shapeshifters then, I take it, ha ha. Sure thing. Since you're a first-time customer, I'll drop the price to a very respectable 109 gold. Sound good?"

>And we haven't actually eaten the rabbit yet, have we?
I figure you can find a nook and try to eat it as cleanly as possible, without too much difficulty. If you'd sooner not, then say so, this just gets bookkeeping out of the way.

>>9429625
>>9429630
I think we should grab some survival skill if we want to get hunting done before noon. Maybe we should put hunting off for a little while and focus on other things.

Where could we get survival ranks? An expert woodsman?

ANOTHER RABBIT
PLUS 6 JUMP

ALSO THRI-KREEN FOR PLUS 30 JUMP

>>9429663

At least we won't eat a horse in the middle of the day. Too much noise.

>>9429653
I propose we name it Horus, because we might end up betraying her. It'll be our little joke.

>>9429663
We already ate one. And we might be able to find one which is alone. We should at least scope out the possibilities. Farm animals still have much to offer us.

>>9429667
Go ahead and buy it, we can always replenish our funds with a few cat burglaries.

>>9429663
We ate a horse last session, no problem. Think we picked up endurance.

> 109 gold.

That's nearly all our cash. Oww. I'm in favor, but we'll need to get some more cash later today.

>>9429692
Agreed fully.

>>9429700
He's a lowly street vendor.Could we roll bluff to get him to drop it? Tell him we know of a better deal or something.

>>9429690
>>9429696

Yeah but it was also in the middle of the night and unguarded (Mostly). We can't exactly just waltz into a stables after last nights fiasco. Too risky, not enough gain.

>>9429700

Yeah. Maybe we should look into that courier job after we pick up another speed boost somewhere.

I doubt we'll be buying much anyways.

>>9429721
Agreed, let's buy something from a butcher and go catch us a bear.

>We ate a horse last session, no problem. Think we picked up endurance.
2 sessions ago, nabbed Run.

>Where could we get survival ranks? An expert woodsman?
That's a possibility.

>Buy MASTERWORK KNIFE
"I hope I'll see you in here again." You now have 2 gold and change.

As you leave, your now slightly longer (and much superior) ears catch him muttering, "Man, that fellow looked a bit odd. Not sure what it was about him. Ah, whatever."

>>9429720
I don't feel the need. And haggling is Diplomacy, usually. Money isn't too important to us at this point. This was bonus.

>>9429736
We likely don't have time if we're not going to blow Claire off. We should stay in the city until after noon. We can hunt in the evening.

>>9429755
Alright, alright.
We'll become a flying part bear part human later.

>>9429763
Indeed and agreed!

>He's a lowly street vendor.Could we roll bluff to get him to drop it? Tell him we know of a better deal or something.
The animal vendor was in the street, this guy owns a shop of his own. He's already dropped the price to a sizeable discount from market value. You can try though, or use Diplomacy or Intimidate.

Action? You have a cat, and a nice knife, and not much gold.

DM, any input on the pig/natural armor issue? A better AC would be nice, and we could sneak into a stye at night and nab a sow pretty easily.

Nor worth it if it gives us a pigface, though. Not that we can really KNOW until we try, but...

How much time do we have left?

Just go back and drop the cat off. Wait there and actually eat the food she set out for us, because I'm pretty sure we didn't. We don't want to hurt her feelings or anything, amirite?

>>9429775

Anything around that looks promising?

>>9429775
Drop the cat off at claire's place, go inna woods and catch some birds or something for an hour, then get back and wait for claire.
Then, in the night, we strike.
We strike against the bear menace.

>>9429796
Agreed. We could kill some time by walking the back alleys looking for some simple prey, like rats, who aren't within sight of townsfolk. We should try getting in some target practice. Bolts are cheap and replenishable .

>>9429803
What, specifically, are you hoping to get form a bear? A bear would fuck us up royally, man, unless we shot it with sleepy poison.

>How much time do we have left?
A few hours.

>DM, any input on the pig/natural armor issue? A better AC would be nice, and we could sneak into a stye at night and nab a sow pretty easily. Nor worth it if it gives us a pigface, though. Not that we can really KNOW until we try, but...
As you said, you don't know how a given mutation will affect your appearance until you try. It's probably doable though.

>Wait there and actually eat the food she set out for us, because I'm pretty sure we didn't.
Leave good food uneaten? With your metabolism? I think not!

>Anything around that looks promising?
Clarify?

>>9429663
>I have no Idea what I'm talking about

>>9429831
...
What would you NOT want from a bear?
Besides don't we still have one of those poisoned bolts from a few sessions back?

>>9429855

Are there any bums or anything around that we can "help" away and nom somewhere secluded-like?

If we have any drawfags in here, images would be appreciated. IIRC, we get a bonus to anything we do if a drawfag draws an image to go along with our actions.

>>9429885
more than one horse is in a stable
stable stalls are small
horses are noisy and strong
a horse might knock us down
and then we'd get trampled
or it might make noise when we go to kill it and eat it
and then the other horses might make noise too
and then the cycle will repeat
until someone comes in and either finds our dead trampled body on the ground
or finds us trying to eat an entire horse

>>9429896

We nearly got our ass handed to us by an EXPERT. A bear would eat us long before we ate it.

Drop kitteh off at Claire's.
>Clarify?
Head to the poorer part of town and walk the narrow alleys looking for victims we can shoot the hell out of for target practice. I'm thinking rats and such, but if we find any sleeping homeless folks...

This city is going to have a distinct lack of poor people if we don't change our eating habits.

>Are we capable of learning things on our own, or only by eating? Can we pick up class levels? Rogue would be useful as hell.
>>9429896
Two of them.

We need to pick up some disguise skills, if things we eat keep changing our appearance.

>Agreed. We could kill some time by walking the back alleys looking for some simple prey, like rats, who aren't within sight of townsfolk. We should try getting in some target practice. Bolts are cheap and replenishable.
>Drop the cat off at Claire's place, go inna woods and catch some birds or something for an hour, then get back and wait for Claire.
>Just go back and drop the cat off. Wait for Claire.
Will do one of these if seconded. Or you can wait for other options to be presented, like the one below.

>Are there any bums or anything around that we can "help" away and nom somewhere secluded-like?
There are, although you won't find a lot of them in this area of town.

>If we have any drawfags in here, images would be appreciated. IIRC, we get a bonus to anything we do if a drawfag draws an image to go along with our actions.
Yes you do.

>>9429928
We have SOME, but more would be very useful, I agree.

>Just go back and drop the cat off. Wait for Claire.

>>9429937
Drop the kitty off, then go to the woods to try and get a deer.

>>9429831
A bear would be awesome. The Strength might help in smishing people later on, but it should wait until after Claire. Doing the running for her will get in the way.

Besides strength, Scent, and Imp. Grab are also useful.

>Agreed. We could kill some time by walking the back alleys looking for some simple prey, like rats, who aren't within sight of townsfolk. We should try getting in some target practice. Bolts are cheap and replenishable.

We need to practice the crossbow some just in case we can't always just jump down and bite peoples heads off.

>>9429951
agreed. I want to get the story moving cause the DM said this was a short round.

>>9429937
I know I'm the one who suggested eat birds inna woods then come back and wait for claire but I'm seconding it

>>9429937

Drop off cat. Wait for Claire.

>>9429965
Ok, I'm game for waiting.

That bear you wanna eat has 6 HD, a fort save of 9, and would eat US.

>Just go back and drop the cat off. Wait for Claire.
You go back to Claire's and drop the cat off, and make sure there's no rabbit remains on you. You wait, and see Claire show up after a couple hours. She looks tired, but perks up a bit at seeing you.

>Are we capable of learning things on our own, or only by eating? Can we pick up class levels? Rogue would be useful as hell.
You're capable of learning, but eating can give you in minutes what it took years of practice for the victim to learn.

>>9429951
Agreed. Let's go back to her house and wait. Maybe we can train the cat to do tricks.

>>9430002
If it ate us, would it gain our ability to steal abilities? Because I would be down for dying just for the lulz of a superbear appearing out of the forest 3 years later, having absorbed the best qualities of every single animal and hunter in the forest.

>TALK CLAIRE

>>9430027

Pet Kitten.

QUICK, SOME ONE DRAW A HUMANOID GREY HANDING A KITTEN TO A CUTE MAGE. OUR RELATIONSHIP POINTS WILL GO THROUGH THE ROOF!

...Just eat something someone else killed. Steal a duck from a dinning farmer. Now you can fly. Eat some bread. Photosynthesis. Eat corpses in a cemetary at night for speech and skills. Eat some snake for some poison. Poison a horse and eat it. Now you should be strong enough to ripp someone's head off their body, but you still don't have the armor of a rhino...you gotta work up a bit more for that.

Don't most spell component pouches have bits of dragon, unicorn, phoenix, etc... in them? Devour a compenent pouch and become a demigod...

>>9430098

Let's go inna woods and catch some poisonous snakes.
Then we'll never need to make poison
and we can slowly kill people without them knowing

>>9430098
The kills have to be fresh, or we get nothing. Good try, though.

>scream KILL MAIM BURN at it for a half hour as soon as we get back
You try this before Claire arrives. The kitten runs and hides when you start shouting. You don't think the neighbors noticed though.

>Tell her we bought her a friend. Give kitten to Claire. Pet Kitten.
"He's so cute! Thank you! What's his name?"

>If it ate us, would it gain our ability to steal abilities?
No. It would have a nice dinner though.

Where's our relationship points DM?

You've tried eating raw ham before and gotten no abilities. You're not sure if the kills need to be fresh, killed by your hand, or be the entire animal if they're to give you an ability. Probably the former, but you haven't experimented.

Also, HP is 15/19 (+1 from rabbit and +1 from rest).

>>9430177
>FUCKING SAVED
>Seriously? Wow.
You've already got a +1 you can add to any d20 roll; now it's a +2, or two +1s.

>Where's our relationship points DM?
If you really want it in a point system, I can make one for the next session. Or I can make it more complex and not boiled down to raw numbers.

>>9430202
Morsel is such a cute name, and we really don't know better. I like it.

>>9430272
I'd go for no arbitrary point system. I like trying to judge how favored we are people's actions. It also leaves more room for you (The DM) to have people betray and surprise.

>>9430272
You can't boil a relationship down to something simple like points. Unless you're a woman and points mean dollars.

I vote for keeping it in-story, no points.

>>9430322

MashedPotamac is right. I also add my vote to Morsel.

"Yes, I did. Also he is so cute I could practically eat him."

Careful. If, by chance she talks to the storekeep, she'll detect our lie. It's minor, though.

>>9430390
Third'd.

>>9430399
Do we even HAVE junk? I don't think a doppleganger would be interested in kissing unless it lead to "love bites."

>>9430443
presumably we have a combination of rat, horse, and human dick down there.

>>9430443
According to the picture, she has nice tits. So that should be a factor in this.

>>9430443
I was thinking about that the other night. Odds are, we'd have to acquire it the same way as voices. It's best not to think about that to much.

>>9430466
So if we had sex with her, would it be beastiality?

>"He'd have been a goner. I thought you could help him, like you're helping me."
"Well, I'm sure Chomski will love having a new little friend, and having another little bundle of fur around the place is never bad. I wonder where Chomski has been off to, anyways..."

>"It's French. They have a special kind of kissing there. I could show you, if you'd like." Bluff/diplomacy roll GO!
Will need a second vote.

>>9430470
You're funny, but I'd rather earn an R rating for gratuitous violence, not tits.
>>9430466
If we have a pic of that, do we get bonus? *blech*

>>9430485
Seconded for great justice

>>9430485
I vote we don't go with the French line. It;s out of setting and will just make us weird/creepy.

>>9430485
I vote against seeing as it would require a time machine to do OR it would make us look mentally unstable.

>Do we even HAVE junk?
Not sure if I want to touch this, so to speak.

Since you're a humanoid, and have been eating primarily human males, we can just say that you picked that up along the way.

>>9430485
NONONONONONO! No Kissing. Too early, don't want to kill our mealplan and free rent!

>>9430703
I third it.

>>9430834

Also, are we assimilating human emotions?

>>9430857
Seems likely we'll begin to, but our diet is varied enough that I doubt it will be much of an issue unless we eat someone for their empathy.

>"You had wanted to test our Running speed. I think I'm ready, if you can be apart from Morsel for a bit."

"Sure." She makes a quick lunch, and then heads outside. "We'll go to the other side of town. I'll see you at the docks." She incants a quick set of words, and then sprints away toward the docks at a speed you've not seen before.

>>9430857
Maybe all we really wanted to be was loved

>>9430907
Err.. She's.. Fast.. Maybe we should have taken speed from that Rabbit ;(
RUN TO DOCK

>>9430907

To the docks! We gotta get there before her!

>>9430907
Devour the lunch, then follow her. This might be part of the test.

>>9430907
We give chase. We may be able to make better time if we're willing to make our way onto a rooftop and leap from roof to roof.

It may draw too much attention, though, so it's merely an option.

Sticking to mail roads, we'll likely be able to run most of the way at 40' x 5.

>>9430950
take the plates with you, run AS FAST AS SHAPESHIFTERLY POSSIBLE, catch up to her, get in front of her, being running backwards in front of her while eating.

>>9430950
Skip the lunch. We're fast eaters, but we need SPEED here. Run Run Run!

>>9430098
0/10

>>9430969
>>9430966
just eat on the go goddamn

>RUN TO DOCK
>To the docks! We gotta get there before her!

You run full brisk after her, but less than a minute into it and it's clear that your current base speed isn't going to suffice. She's pulling away fast, covering about one and a half times the distance you are.

>We give chase. We may be able to make better time if we're willing to make our way onto a rooftop and leap from roof to roof.
It's an option, if you want to try it.

>Lunch
I meant that she made a light lunch for the two of you to eat before heading outside.

>>9430952
Climbing up there would take up too much time, and your Jump speed isn't better than the Run speed.

The only reason to do this would be if route is particularly circuitous, so we could be faster "as the crow jumps".

>>9431029
climb nearest building, jump off and glide while doing your best to make it look like you're actually just falling like a badass courier

ITS ROOFTOP TIME

>>9430907
>>9430917
WHY DOES EVERYTHING WE LOVE RUN AWAY FROM US D:

>>9431034
>"as the crow jumps".
That was my intention.

So we need more speed, huh? After the race, we could focus on that. Horses seem the easiest way to hit 60, and they have Endurance, too, which would be useful. If we could find one sleeping at night we could coup de grace it with the crossbow then chew and screw before help arrived.

>>9431057
Can we glide while wearing leather armor? I doubt it. Plus, this is even MORE suspicious than jumping.

>>9431059
OK, I'm convinced. What we're doing now isn't working anyway ;(

>>9431095
>chew and screw


Anyway I TOLD YOU THAT WE SHOULD HAVE GONE HUNTING SOME FUCKIN' DEER FOR SPEED BUT NOOOOOO
YOU WANTED TO PLAY WITH A KITTY

>>9431127
At least we got a publishing deal out of it

>>9431059
I think impressing her is worth the risk, and I doubt there are local ordinances about free running. Roof tiem.

>>9431127
Sleeping horses are a lot easier to catch than deer, and we were on a time budget. We made a better choice by not hunting yet.

>>9431127
Would have taken too long, and a deer can outrun us.

Plus, how hard is finding a deer? I would assume very.

>>9431179
Finding deer is easy with the Survival skill- which we lack. With a tree stand and days to kill we would be all but guaranteed a free shot. Then again, horsies sleep indoors, and are much easier to find.

>>9431164
>chew and screw
>and screw
>screw
>I want to fuck a dead horse in the night with my rathorsemanpenis and eat it at the same time

now that that's done with CLIMB CLIMB CLIMB

>>9431179
I've gone hunting before. Took all day just to find the fuckers.

>As the crow jumps!
You've been down to the docks before, and now that knowledge comes in handy. You know a faster way than just the roads can take you. It might be cheating and you might get spotted, but it could let you win.

>1d20+17=36
Making a near-perfect running leap onto a building, you start leaping from rooftop to rooftop in a shorter route to the docks.

>So we need more speed, huh?
Pic related.

>>9431164
Can we do le parkour?

>>9431242
Cheat as fast as our legs will carry us! This isn't about Running per-se, it's about delivering a package from point A to point B.

If we can do that faster by going rooftop to rooftop, then we're achieving the REAL objective of the test anyway.

Skip to us reaching the finish line

>>9431220
d00d, it's an expression. To eat and leave. Non-sexual. Mind out of the gutter, buddy. Let's keep this kosher.
>>9431287
Agreed entirely. Cheat as fast as our legs will cheat!

>>9431242
I have the odd feeling that claire is about to go into a flat spin and break her neck against some glass

>>9431242
wait... so we need to eat an F-22?

>Skip to us reaching the finish line
Can do.

You arrive breathing hard, and see that Claire has beaten you, although it's obvious she's only just arrived. In fact, she's shocked that you've gotten here so quickly. "I suppose you want a bit of a breather before we head back? Yeah, I do too. You're fast enough by my reckoning. Not sure how you managed that without magic, but alright. I think I can get you started delivering tomorrow if you'd like."

>>9431430
"Great!"

Begin to work on our Parkour skills and speed.

>>9431430
Just nod your head, and don't say anything about your speed and magic, or lack thereof.

>>9431430
Suggest we walk back together and discuss the business of package delivery, the expectations, the procedures, hear some stories. Socialize.

>>9431468
This, plus Pick or buy her a flower, or something else nice on the way back.

>>9431509
Thanks. Dunno if we have the cash for that, though. Hopefully we can pick her up some alchemy things later on by stealing. We'll need a good cover, or to steal from someplace she's unlikely to shop from, though. Hmmm.

>>9431468
Seconded

>>9431468

Thirded. We must find LOVE.

>"Great!" Begin to work on our Parkour skills and speed.

She doesn't probe further about your running skills. On the way back, she fills you in about the job, gives a few stories about dealing with terrible customers, and gets surprised and quiet when you pick her a flower. A few people you think you recognize as being below you during the rooftop leaping point and talk between themselves as you go by; Claire doesn't seem to notice, still seemingly wrapped up in thought.


Going to end the session soon, I need sleep.

We must find our PURPOSE.

Purpose, it lights a fire, under our ass......

Forgot to include this earlier. Oops.

Get back to her place and set your biological alarm for tonight, so that next thread we can wake AND DEVOUR

>>9431468

I too add my vote we MUST FIND LUNCH!!

>Going to end the session soon, I need sleep.
This seems a good spot, unless you had more planned, DM. This is going stupendously thus far.

>A few people you think you recognize as being below you during the rooftop leaping point and talk between themselves as you go by; Claire doesn't seem to notice, still seemingly wrapped up in thought.
This is a little worrisome. It was bound to happen, though. If we're going to be known in this town as Mr. Roofjumper, we'd better keep our devouring habits to the darker hours.

Then again, with a payed job comes money we can spend on small furry noms to tide ourself over until night falls and we can eat the flesh of the sapient.

>>9431642
>What is this I don't even

>>9431725
And have every furrynom selling merchant realize that "hey this dude buys like 20 fucking rabbits every day the hell is he doing with them"?
Fuck no

>>9431725
Can't we just change our shape to something like a mix of what we ate?

>>9431747
setting them free in the wild of course. Shame on you for letting the rabbits rot in cages when they should be free

>>9431747
We don't need twenty. A chicken or two would be fine, and if we look like we're supporting a family it wouldn't even bat an eye.

>We must find our PURPOSE.
That's up to you guys. I'm game for just about anything short of a fetish quest.

>Get back to her place and set your biological alarm for tonight, so that next thread we can wake AND DEVOUR
Done.

>This seems a good spot, unless you had more planned, DM. This is going stupendously thus far.
Planned? I don't plan plot ahead of time, just setting details and timed setting events--lets me give max player freedom that way. Glad you're enjoying it. It's fun to run.

>Can't we just change our shape to something like a mix of what we ate?
This happens automatically. The more humans you eat, the more humans you'll look like--but the same goes for any other creature. You look mostly human right now, if a bit odd. You can eat someone to specifically reset your appearance to theirs in lieu of another trait.

>>9431782
Is this an idea to raise a family avec Claire?

>>9431823
No. We have no biological drive to breed, only to consume and grow more powerful. She's a means to an end, not breeding stock.

>>9431823
Hell, we probably reproduce through spores or something. Parthenogenesis for the WIN!

>>9431643
Hopefully not Claire.

Yet.

Also, I see this with BAD END, with the townspeople trying to kill us and Claire screaming about how we betrayed her trust.

>>9431852
Also, whatever large jagged spiky junk we may possess could probably kill her.

>>9431869
Yes.

It will be glorious.

>>9431869
Stop giving the DM Ideas. ;)

>>9431879
SPIKY?!

>>9431879
She's a mage. Unless we snookered her with a sneak attack (note lack of caps) she'd be able to escape. Or hurt us BADLY.

>>9431869
Nah, we could just as easily become the head of a group of paladins, and eat demons to steal their abilities and use them to kill even more demons to steal the abilities of.

Then we end the Blood War by eating the entirety of both sides.

>>9431910
She's only a 'Prentice. That said, let's wait until we're much more powerful.

If we do kill someone else though, we could take their house and appearance, and use "being them" as a home-base.

>>9431900
We've eaten so many things with teeth, it's just logic.

>>9431933
As this illustrates, we are under no compulsion to be evil. We could only eat badguys, or even restrict ourselves to non-sentient noms. We're eating people because we're jealous of class levels.

>>9431910
We aren't going to rape her. If she loves us enough, she'd put up with any amount of odd looking junk.

>>9431958
if you saw a horsedick with teeth on it you'd run

>>9431958
We're here to grow and consume, not fuck. Objective is how to next get more foodz.

So I guess we should aim for Neutral Good, or True Neutral?

>>9431958
>>9431949

See

>>9430527

>>9432016
We're pretty true neutral as it is. We're very, very amoral. People are food. If we were a little more malicious I'd say Neutral Evil, but, we haven't been even so much as vindictive yet, as far as I recall.

Go to a brothel, find the best looking male there. Eat him, take his appearance. Go seduce her with your now sexy self (Complete with a normal dick too!).

Also, if we specifically take the shape of someone, is it added to our repotuar (Like voices), or does it still shift around depending on what we eat?

She did get quiet after the flower. Did she look offended, or just surprised?
Maybe it'll work out. She's still OK with us staying with her?

Has anyone archived this yet?

>>9432082
Don't think so. Go ahead and archive it. I, ah, dunno how.

What did we eat to get that gliding membrane?

>Also, if we specifically take the shape of someone, is it added to our repertoire (Like voices), or does it still shift around depending on what we eat?

It's a reset. You can't normally mess around with your appearance much beyond eating things. Once the reset occurs, you'll have automatic adjustments applied as usual.

Now, if you eat something that's able to change shape and steal that trait, that's a different story.

>What did we eat to get that gliding membrane?
A bird, not large enough to give you actual wings.

Hmm, if we weild our cricket bat (read: club) with two hands, we can deal 1.5x Str damage. 1d6+6 instead of 1d6+4 is nice. Good for easy-to-hit things with lots of AC. Our dagger is better reserved for things which are harder to hit. If we throw it, we'll get +7 to hit, 1d4+5 damage. Go Point Blank Shot!

And don't forget we can bite when we make a full attack. It's at a -5 penalty, admittedly, but it's a free attack and we should make sue of it every chance we can, as long as it won't be seen by witnesses.

>>9432202
Err, lots of HP. Derp derp derp.

>>9432140
A bird. Didn't get full wings, but if we choose more wing-like traits, we'll get better stuff. At least we didn't lose our arms for it. That's probably something we should watch out for.
But it will definitely make us stick out.

>>9432170
We really need to eat a mimic guys. Were can we find one?

>>9432227
Agreed. We need to maintain a human appearance. Either that, or give up on humanity entirely, become nocturnal, and be as bestial as possible.

>>9432240
Or eat a mage who knows how to

I like the human form because magic items are a huge bonus in 3.5. They can give us a huge edge that will be hard to match for a while by just eating things.

I'm disappointed- No mention of the beautiful drawfagging in here.

>>9432202
Can we wield a one-handed club with both hands?

>>9432356
RAW, yeah. Unless DM says no.

>Archived
Thanks.

I'll be around a bit while I get things ready if people have questions, but otherwise it's been fun and I'll see you next thread. Which is likely to be Tuesday (unless you're following Terminator Quest which is planned for tomorrow).

>>9432399
Once again, thanks for DMing this man. Good luck with whatever you need luck on.

>>9432399
Thanks, DM. You rock. Looking forward to the next Terminator quest, too.

I hope next time I'll be able to participate.

Also, instead of a brothel (last time was just painful to watch), we should look up a theater or something. Maybe not OM NOM the lead, but an understudy or two wouldn't put up much trouble, especially if they were inebriated. Call it a celebration of our recent employment.

>>9432969
I'll also try my hand at drawfaggotry, once I get my scanner up and running.
I'll check up on /tg/ tomorrow night, just in case you surprise us again.

>>9432969
Well seeing as we have most of the night next thread to do some serious nomming, this might be high time to hit the sewers.

>>9433076
You rock.

>>9433085
We still need to build up power/social base. If a bear can raep us, so can a giant sewer crocodile.

>>9433114
Well if we get proficiency with a better weapon (like that dwarven waraxe we have or our crossbow), or some healing potions, we should be alright.

It was said that not just crocs live down there, and that tells me we might find some things with really juicy abilities.

If we get a high bluff - Why don't we volunteer to help the adventurers catch the beast that killed their friend? We don't want any loose ends with those bastards about. Then get one alone, take their appearance and pick off the others.

>>9433206
Because /tg/ will never agree to take someone's appearance when they have other awesome abilities. It will go like this:

"okay guys take their appearance and nab the other party members" "okay"
YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM AWESOME ABILITIES, OR TAKE APPEARANCE
"whoa, check out ability 1"
"want ability2"
"ability 1"
"ability 1"
ABILITY 1 IS CHOSEN
"wait, didn't we need his appearance? shit."

>>9433317
The problem being that he would have a rare feat/trait/power that we'd never find again regardless. So we'd basically be screwed there.

>>9433341
Yeah, that's what I was getting at.

Well, here's to hoping he has stuff we already have. That's the only way I can see it not happening stupidly.

>>9433206
Because one of them might have a high sense motive.
