Any other details needed right now? Name? Other Stuff?

>>5442541
Name and details of your characters are also necessary yes. A picture will do if you want. You must also roll up your stats as well.
To make it easier on everyone, role 6d20 and apply each result to one of your stats.

>>5442528
Wait...like one post every Tuesday or one hours long session every Tuesday or what? 'Cause the former means this is essentially dead on arrival. Also, is this a multiplayer RP of some sort instead of a normal quest?

Gonna be an all day thing if I can.
But yeah I'm just experimenting with this.
I already got a campaign made for you guys.

Rolled 8, 6, 19, 13, 20, 10 = 76 (6d20)

>>5442591
I guess I'll try and think of a character by noon tomorrow, I don't have time tonight.

What level are we starting at? Is multi-classing allowed? Should we worry about selecting feats now? Are we just using the main book or the other books as well?

Rolling my stats now to help me decide what sort of character would fit with said stats. Can we put any of the numbers into the stat we want, or is it just straight down the line?

>>5442528
bun bun!

Rolled 13, 2, 1, 8, 19, 11 = 54 (6d20)

>>5442591
>>5442774
So 2 questions
Do we have to fill the full 5E sheet with all the text fields or just stats+class+background with races+traits from OP(s)?
Should we start rolling/making characters now?

>>5442860
You asked a good question.

>Do we have to fill the full 5E sheet with all the text fields or just stats+class+background with races+traits from OP(s)?
You don't have to fill the whole sheet. Just do the later.

>Should we start rolling/making characters now?
Yes. I am now going to use this post as an anchor. Just type up your character, roll the stats then place them on your sheet.

Rolled 6 (1d6)

>>5442891
Should've put that in OP desu. Gotta always assume that players are clueless and explain every thing.

Wait, are we each creating a character for ourselves, or are we all roleplaying as a single character?

>>5442891
See? >>5442989 didn't even notice it's multiplayer yet.

>>5442989
You are each creating a character for yourselves.

>>5442993
So um, the OP is unclear in regards to paws a little bit.
>Can use paws for everything except attacking.
This means we can't hold weapons, but what about using paws for unarmed combat if I wanted to go for Monk?

>>5443002
You can in fact use unarmed strikes with your paws.

>>5442993
>>5442992
My bad, somehow I skipped over that fact in this post >>5442591

>>5442891
Here are my rolls >>5442732

I am El-Reed, the Deer Druid.

My mother Bambi was assaulted by a pack of druids in deer form, resulting in her pregnancy with me. As a strange result, I was imbued with magical druidic powers of my own, even from within the womb. My mother died during childbirth, before I was fully born. I had to... Eat my way out. I don't fully understand why this happened to me, but above all, I long to track those monsters down and make an example of them.

Stats

8 Con
1 Str
13 Dex (+1)
19 Wis (+2)
11 Int

We're going to need at least three players.

So for the subspecies of dog, do we use only the modifiers listed for the subspecies or both the modifiers from the Dogs and the subspecies. Like, would a Wolf apply both the plus 3 Cha and minus 3 stat and the plus 2 strength?

Any prohibited feats aside from the fact that they have to be from the PHB?

Anyways, here's my character sheet, not sure I did it right since it has been a while since I played 5e. I didn't add any AC, among other things (like backstory), since I'm not sure if we start with armour or equipment or what the circumstances of our party are starting out. May have to edit things depending on what answers I get.

'Crunch, crunch, crunch'.

This was a mistake. Mog wasn't sure who first suggested it - one of Mog's companions perhaps, or any number of passing acquaintances met along their travels, the host certainly - but here he was munching on an imported pomegranate. 'I'm gonna get the shits. Whoever heard of a wolf eating fancy foreign fruits. Should've just stuck to meat', Mog groused silently.

Pushing himself up as he did his best to correct his sullen demeanor, Mog spat the remaining fruit flesh back into the bowl before saying "I'm gonna try and get us some work".

The scarred wolf marched over to the walking tubs of lard while motioning to the host for another drink and some more familiar cuisine. "Evenin' fellas, sorry to interrupt but I couldn't help but hear you were lookin' to hire some help? My friends and I just so happen to be available at the moment, for the right price of course." Mog grinned wolfishly - heh - as his inquiry left his lips, this was a nice place, but it was time to move on to better hunting grounds. They may as well get paid before setting on their way.

>Inquire about work.

>>5443543
"Ah, I see you have a bad habit of overhearing people. Thought that was more of a feline thing than a canine thing."
>The group then laugh amongst themselves.
"But yes. We could use some good help from a strong animal such as yourself. Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Boaris Tweed. Me and my compatriots were looking for some animals of average intelligence to do us a quick burglary. For a good price."
>The pigs then show you a contract.
>It states the reward for your buglary is 30,000 silver.
>It's a good price.
"It'll be a heavily guarded area. Tell me, what do you know about the old village leader's barn?"
>Roll history.

Rolled 1 (1d20)

>>5443563

>>5443565
>Being someone who constantly travels you barely know anything about where you are.
>Boaris then sighs.
"Listen hear young pup. We're not going to explain this more than once. The old barn belongs to the leader of the village. He doesn't allow any animal inside the thing. To make sure no one steps one foot on that property, he hired four wolf guards. Now it's normal for anyone to ask what could be so important inside that barn? We believe he might be hiding something that could be worth millions, maybe billions of silver. And that's where you come in. You can barge in there, take the rare item and bring it to us. Then you get the reward. What do you say traveler? Want to reveal the mystery of the barn?"

Rolled 8 (1d20)

>>5443599
Mog listened in silence, suppressing a yawn. When Tweed was done talking Mog spoke up with an undercurrent of disdain, "First off, you're gonna have to be a little more clear on what this item even looks like and how much it weighs, is it volatile, magic, dangerous, and whatever else because nothing you just said gives me any idea about what me and my pack are even supposed to be looking for."

This time when the urge to yawn came Mog gave in. "Second of all, we're gonna need a lot more than thirty thousand silver if we're gonna be retrieving something potentially worth thousands of times more than what you're paying us."

Mog leaned over the table and went nose to snout with Tweed, show him his teeth before continuing, "If not for that reason alone so much as I don't believe for a second that a village leader in possession of a relic worth billions on the high end couldn't afford to hire some more security that you wouldn't know about. There's probably a bunch more guards in the building itself, four guards alone can't guard the building day and night after all."

The arrival of his drink caused Mog to break eye contact for a moment. A few moments were spent as silence as Mog drained his drink before Mog went on, "Plus, if this is so important I'm sure this village elder has got some of the village watch helpin' him out. All in all, I'd say that's probably worth more than thirty thousand, wouldn't you say?"

>Inquire about the details of the relic.
>Try and Persuade Tweed to pay us more.

>>5443654
So 8 plus my persuasion or intimidation depending on how they take my body language. It is another 8 on top of that either way.

>>5443654
>Boaris gave out a huge huff and grunt but was willing to listen to your concerns.
"As we said, we have no idea about what the relic or whatever it is that the village elder is in fact hiding. We all know that he said whatever it was it was important. We even saw him enter the area a couple of times. Strangely it got colder after a few minutes or so. He always shouted, "Dammit! It didn't work again!", frustratingly after he left. That means it has to be something powerful right?"
>The group of pigs nodded in agreement.
"We've never seen the item, but if it made the elder of this village of all animals swear for it not working, then you got a good chance it will be worth good money. You know pigs are smart animals. We could fix it up better than a dumb old bunny could.
>The pigs laugh and scoff at the village elder as they continue to make fun of him.
"As for your offer to increase the price... we'll go up to 900,000 Silver. We do need to make a profit you know. Especially if the Apes or Lizards are going to make a high price for it."

>>5443664
Mog raised his head and let out a laugh more suited to a hyena than a wolf.

"Now we're talkin! Let me confer with my companions, then if all is well I'll be back in a minute so you can point us in the right direction and tell us where to meet up." said Mog before heading back to his party.

>I give my confirmation of acceptance of this job. Just gotta confirm with the other players, if they ever show up.

I've gotta sleep. If this doesn't die and some more people show up then I guess I'll see you next Tuesday, or maybe the players will RP between themselves in between sessions since I'm bringing this back to discuss with them anyways.

>>5443664
>>5443701
I think it's impossible to create a shitpost character I'd like with the retarded restrictive D&D class backgrounds and my social anxiety apparently also applies to RP, sorry to disappoint anons.

>>5443891
The Druid of the group drunkenly shambles towards Mog and the group of Pigs. El-Reed sticks a hoof in between Mog to create some space so that he, too, can get in Boaris's snout.

"You're on, Tweed. Have the silver ready for us when we get back. We prefer small satchels of 1,000 pieces each."

>>5444099

A black hooded cat approached the group of animals and listened. Nobody noticed him at first, because Kinny had nothing to add to the conversation. Instead, he closely studied the pigs' behavior, trying to get an insight into their true intentions. An artifact worth "maybe billions of silver"? Surely, they wouldn't give such an absurd job offer to a random group of no-name vagabonds.
>Rolling Insight to observe Boaris' behavior to figure out whether he's being genuine about this whole ordeal or if he's being dodgy
>>5443701
When asked whether he accepts the job, rogue cat reluctantly nodded his head in agreement. Even if this whole thing was a trap, he was almost... morbidly curious.
>>5444099
>>5443664
"Cat can't wait to carry 300 pouches of silver around," Kinny interjected, and turning to pig he said, "Why don't we get paid in platinum and jewels? Surely you have a way to get some shiny items if you're hoping to peddle some kind of... magical fridge?" Cat swished his tail ever so slightly. He didn't intend to get another Bag of Holding after what happened with the last one.

Unable to find his contact, Kinny returned to his group. "The pigs are fishy, can't be trusted" the cat whispered his observations to the team. "We're either a bait, or to be disposed after the job. As such, we should take the artifact and sell it ourselves. My colleagues can help with that."
Having said that, the smuggler checked his silver pouch, turned around and hurried towards the exit, tail swishing.

A black cat suddenly pops up behind Mog. "Sup, killer. Now that we know everything, what is the plan?" He casually asks as he pockets a white card and swings his specialized backpack over the shoulder(?).

Mog stayed silent while Kinny and El-Reed hashed out some details with...whatever the pig's name was, it was already long forgotten.

When Kinny returned with his assessment of the pigs Mog nodded in agreement. "Haven't met a trustworthy pig yet. All they want to do is eat, which to be fair, I can empathize with to a degree." Mog muttered back before adding, "They likely don't even intend to give us the nine hundred thousand, that's what, tens of thousands of pounds of silver they'd have to lug around in order to pay us? How would we carry it ourselves? Not to mention if they have that kinda cash you can sure bet that they could afford to hire a lot more than us to make sure this job goes off well. Either they are a lot poorer than they want us to think or they always intended to use us as a disposable group of pawns to keep the heat off of them."

Following Kinny outside Mog scanned the selection of the injured fork-tongue. "This hammer...it magical or something, lizard?" He bent down and fished out some silver to hand to the lizard before taking a jar of the red liquid and handing it off to El-Reed. "Check if this is the real deal" Mog muttered quietly to the deer.

>Inquire about the hammer
>Buy a healing potion for El-Reed to check out.
>If I don't start with my starting gear then I buy it from the blacksmith.

Sorry for the wait fellas.

>>5449493
I already told the pigs to pay us in jewels or pricier coins and they agreed: >>5449334
You can start with regular D&D equipment, including backpack and weapon, the shops are for upgrades apparently... but for that we have to see the Blacksmith.

>>5449493
Also, can we agree to reply to each post that our characters directly interact with? I think it will keep us all better informed and the threads will be easier to follow.

>>5449493
"That hammah? Found it in the woods as well. Well more like found in an old ruins covered in fine. Looked like a decent looking sledgehammer. The brand is called "John Henry: The Mighty Man". You want it. It costs about seventy silver. I think that sounds about fair. Especially since it is not made of magic. Still good for breaking and building shit."

>>5449494
"Aye the blacksmith is a good hound. Heard he is selling a good broadsword. Not sure if you guys want it, but I heard he was giving it away half-price the usual. I'd hurry along if you want to get it."
>>5449495
I can definitely agree to this. Sorry for the confusion.

>>5449490
Startled at Kinny popping up behind him all of a sudden the moment he left his field of view Mog took a few steps back from the lizard.

Recovering quickly, he pulled Kinny a bit further away and he laid out the initial plan, "We need to prepare our exit from town before we do the job. You need to find your smuggler buddies and make an arrangement to move the object in case it is too heavy for us to lift. For all we know it might not even be movable from the building without an extra team of lifters. Either way they need to make an arrangement to get us and the object outta town before the pigs figure out we reneged on the deal."

The wolf paused and licked his scarred leg and thought for a while. After a moment he said "If that can't be arranged then we need to get a cart just in case we need it to transport the artifact ourselves. After that you'll scout the place out, nothing fancy, just see if anyone is on watch outside and if there are any bystanders nearby that will make a fuss. I have a feeling this isn't gonna be a quiet job and we shouldn't pretend like it will be. Folks can hear me a mile away with my chainmail, and I'm not quite as quiet as I used to be ever since my leg got fucked up. So, just get numbers, maybe check out the entrances if you have a chance to get close, then meet back up with us."

>>5449495
Sure, while I don't really like the way it looks when we are replying to a bunch of different people I can understand that it makes things easier to follow.

>>5449496
"No thanks slick, I already got this maul here. Got a bigger head of metal here than that sledgehammer already."

>From what I understand, mauls are basically IRL versions of big stupid fantasy warhammers anyways. Basically sledgehammers already.

>>5449494
I saw the agreement, but I think my point stands either way. The point is that they originally mention silver which brings up the idea of how they or we are supposed to transport that much money. It's suspicious, so I was using that as a point on which I thought it supported your assessment. Though to be fair, it seems like silver coins are the money-of-account in this world.

>>5449498
"Fair enough good boy. Have fun doing... whatever it is you guys are doing."

>You both head towards the blacksmith's cart.
>A weird steel machine from the old world.
>The owner then pops his head out of the strange carriage.
"Top of the morning to ye lads."
>The Irish sounding husky sled dog greets.
"What can I get for ya? I got knives, daggers, swords, anything you can wrap your jaw on to pierce someone with. I also got these sets of armor. Some might have a bit of holes in them, but the shields do work well."
>You can see the following inside the shop.
>Daggers that seem to have an electric property to them.
>A broadsword as mentioned earlier.
>A nice large shield made of copper.
>And what looks to be a very long spear.

>>5449503
Mog stuck his head into the weird metal carriage and peered over the husky's shoulder into the depths of the cabin. "Sup dawg, how much for the sword and shield? Oh, and you got anything better than this here chainmail?" he asked.

We can use shields with our paws while still using weapons with our mouths, yeah?

>>5449509
>We can use shields with our paws while still using weapons with our mouths, yeah?
More like how Young Link uses his Hyrule Shield. It's just on your back.

"Anything better than that chainmail? Sonny, your chainmail is top-notch already. Selling you something from here would be considered a heinous crime in my opinion. However.... I do have this nice shield. It is made from some nice metal and covers up the whole body. A bit tricky to wear during storms though. Wouldn't really recommend it unless you plan on being cooked alive by the lightning. But other than that I am selling it for a good price of three hundred silver. Want to buy it?"

Copper Shield
Properties: +3 AC
Special: Attracts Lightning based attacks and takes half damage.

"Also have this broadsword. It's a bit rusty but hey it works. Wouldn't really use it myself unless you want to taste metal for a few days. Really recommend gurgling some water and spitting it out after use. Selling this baby for a hundred silver if you are interested."

Broadsword
Properties: (none)
Damage: 3d4 Piercing Damage + Str
Interested?

>>5449497
Kinny looked at the wolf unamusedly. "If I'm being honest, I don't like the fact we're being rushed into this mess at all, this is no way to safely conduct business. I'll try to arrange something, but no promises. It's best we assume we'll be doing it with minimal help from outside, I'm afraid." The cat replied, thinking back to the overcrowded tavern.
>>5449503
Kinny looked at the blacksmith's cart with appreciation. "That's a nice machinecart you've got there, sir. These beasts sure are hard to come by nowadays," the feline smuggler said as he looked at the items put up for sale. "Now, what can you tell me about these daggers?"

Can I get a description of the city/village where we are exactly? Do I know where the barn is? And can I try to look for one of my contacts again?
I'd also like to roll to find secret signs around the area where we are now (Thieves' Cant)
>>5449498
You can just spam all the >>s at the start. Just so that we know when someone refers to us.

>>5449516
"I'll take them both." Mog said while handing over the silver. "Pleasure doing business with you."

>>5449518
>Can I get a description of the city/village where we are exactly?
>The village is mostly a old refuge of the old ones.
>Mostly now covered in green by the foilage and forest of the plants.
>Other than that it mostly looks like a parking lot with grass now taking over what used to be tar roads.
>The buildings are mostly broken old buildings, but hey it is home to some.
>As for the cart, it is clearly a minuature car that the children of the old ones rode in.
>As you mentioned, it's a rare find.
>You would have to pay good money to ride in a working one.
>Could work for Mog's suggestion of finding a cart you can use.

>Do I know where the barn is?
>You can easily see it just South of you.
>A bit out in the open but very well guarded.
>You can see the group of wolves guarding it well.
>All of them wearing no armor but still carrying some strong looking swords.

>Now, what can you tell me about these daggers?
>The husky laughs cheerfully and excited.
"Allow me to show you. You see when stab somebody with these bad boys you can instantly shock them. But... once thrown..."
>The husky then grabs a dagger and chucks it at a tree.
>As it glides across the air, you can hear some strong crackiling noises filling the air.
>As soon as the dagger hits the tree, a huge bolt of lightning bursts from the dagger.
>Destroying both it and the tree.
"So I am selling these babies for forty silver a knife. Are you interested?"

Lightning Daggers
Properties: Finesse, Thrown (20/60 Ft)
Damage: 1d4 Piercing Damage and 1d4 Lightning Damage (No stat boosts)
Special: If these daggers are thrown they explode upon contact doing 1d4 Piercing Damage and 4d4 Lightning Damage. The Dagger will be destroyed in the process.

And can I try to look for one of my contacts again?
You may try.

Before the husky could even finish his sentence, 480 silver was on the counter in front of him. "I'll be taking 12 of these babies," Kinny nodded enthusiastically, despite the fact his ears were still recoiled back from the thunder.
>Buy 12 Lightning Daggers for 480 silver (300 left)
"Pleasure doing business with you". The cat carefully replaced his old daggers in the bandolier with the new ones and put the rest into his backpack and left. He decided to try and find one of contact people around here once again, but this time for a different purpose.
Since it's not a crowded tavern, do I roll for something?

>>5449582
>She glances over to you, with a fake but convincing looking seduction.
>Trying to make any onlookers think that this conversation is not as it seems.
"That depends. How many performers do you need to help move the audience? I assume about three professionals maybe? And where are we performing tonight?"

>>5449588
"We don't know how many animals will show to the performance exactly," Kinny shrugged, doing his best to fake interest in the cat lady. "Could be just one lost viewer... or it could be the whole theater. Always a problem when you pick gigs in the dark. Three performers should do it, if not, well, we'll have to improvise. The performance is at the village elder's barn, in two hours. As I said, it's really high-profile and all."

With Kinny deciding his purchases Mog decided it was best to work on their back-up exit strategy. First, while the husky was giving his explanation of the lightning daggers to Kinny, Mog peered around for a way to start and operate the metal carriage. (Perception Check roll)

With all he could observe taken in Mog decided to wander around town while Kinny was going off to try and find his contacts. If the smugglers betrayed them to the pigs or were just unreliable or too pricey then the gang would have to arrange their own transport outta town until they could find a good fence. Either way, they certainly could not sell it off here while the heat was still on them. The metal carriage was one way out of here but Mog wasn't too confident about operating it in a hurry given how unfamiliar it was. What they needed was a good coach pulled by some strong, willing animals, maybe a stout mule or horse that wouldn't ask too many questions. Should worst come to worst, Mog would just buy or take some hand cart so they would have something to carry the artifact if it was heavy and then they'd just walk out of town.

>Roll to observe how to start the metal-carriage and to see how it works
>Wander around town looking for coach services, or failing that, some sort of general store that sells hand carts.
>Try and find a good map of the region. We need to know where we are going next.
>Carouse around town looking for locals who know the area between this town and the surrounding towns, people who have relatives that live along the roadsides and such. (2nd roll for persuasion to chat up some folks)

"Likewissse," Kinny hissed back at the female. These cats were feral! With the shady part of business done, it wass time for the even shadier part. He circled around and made his way towards the back of the barn. From safe distance, he observed the building and surrounding it animals.

Drat, Mog was hoping the shop-keep was too busy with Kinny to notice him staring. Waving goodbye to Kinny as he went off to make his contact Mog turned back to the blacksmith.

"Really?!", Mog tried to pass off his interest in the husky's ride as enthusiasm for Old Ones tech. He wagged his tail and he did his best to make his eyes beam. Then, to both sell the act and give voice to his real feelings on the matter he gave the old Oi-rish husky a suspicious look.

"For free, just like that? Awfully nice of you, what's the catch? And when would you be available? I gotta get moving onto the next town soon.", Mog inquired.

Gawd dayum, that cat has a goatee and looks like the TV series version of Geralt or something. Perfect rogue cosplay, 10/10 cat.

Also no worries about the slowness. I'm not exactly writing as fast as I potentially could myself, because I'm not refreshing and catching the new posts as soon as they come.

"Well I do leave here at 10:00 PM but for you I will wait til 12:00 PM. Just meet me at the entrance of the forest and I will give you and your friends a ride. No catches. I'm just here to help peo-, I mean animals out that's all. Just be sure to be quiet tonight."

>>5449679
>How many guards did I see?
Kinny realized it was getting late and decided that any further observation was pointless. The feline rogue silently walked back the way he came and then darted back towards the Blacksmith's cart, where he parted ways with Mog.
>>5449668
Kinny had arrived just as his charismatic companion was striking some kind of deal with Blacksmith, if he's ever seen one. The cat waited for them to finish and pulled wolf to the side. "I got us some support from local... performers, but they can only help us as long as we manage to get the item. Moreso, they will be *very* disappointed if we can't deliver. I've also scouted the barn and it seems to have no extra exits, which complicates things. Guards look tough and have their weapons at thr ready, but seem to be tired already." Suddenly Kinny looked around as he remembered something. "Don't tell me the drood is too shitfaced to come with us...."
>>5449675
I just looked at our deception stats and we could probably just walk inside that barn through the front door and be like "we're here to appraise the artifact, please show us the way, yes we have to take it to the capital, no there is no other way, thank you and have a nice night" kek

More suspicious than ever, Mog feigned ignorance while try to get a read on the strange dog. (Insight Check)

"Seems kinda odd to leave in the dead of night. While I do have somewhere to be, I can get there when I get there. Really, I was just admiring your carriage, seems like a beautifully preserved piece of Old One's tech. Kinda defeats the purpose of taking a ride in the thing if we go at night, not much to see with no sun out and nothing to do but sleep for the night. What I wanna know is how it feels to drive the thing. How does it move with nobody to pull it?" Mog said, stalling while his thoughts raced.

This guy was super suspicious, was he secretly a slave trader looking to abduct them? Was he a fellow looking to skip town, like them, and he just happened to want companions? He seemed awfully eager to offer Mog this ride, almost like he knew they had this job, it did seem strange to only mention later tonight as when he'd be available to take them, a normal person would leave during the day instead of the night if they were just a nice person who wanted to show off their ride to someone who was admiring their new toy. Was this a trap, some preemptive measure by the pigs in anticipation of Mog's band taking the artifact for themselves, trying to offer an easy exit outta town thus narrowing down where and when the gang would attempt to escape Xana?

Welp, I'm sorry to say this, but I can't stay much longer tonight. It's almost 1AM here and as much as I don't wanna, I have to sleep.

I also have to sleep.
I hope you guys are enjoying the sessions on Tuesday.
Here's hoping Session 3 is just as good as this as well.

>>5449709
(I assume I fail the insight check, I'm moving on because I am going to tell the husky that I'll be there in the forest regardless of whether or not I succeed or fail the check. The only change would be if I succeeded the check and found him suspicious, then I'd still say the same thing but try and find a different exit plan)

Catching the eye of his companion as he returned Mog turned back to the blacksmith and said "Hey, you know what? I can ask you all this once we start going. I'll be there near the forest entrance with some buddies of mine by midnight at the latest. I can see the sights on the return trip."

"I'll see ya later dawg, and thanks again for the gear." Mog said as he exited the conversation and walked over to Kinny.

>>5449715
Mog listened after Kinny pulled him aside and laid out the situation. "Shit, I think your right. Of all the nights for the deer to get drunk off their ass, they choose this night. It'll be trouble coming to get El-Reed from the tavern when we are making our escape too." Mog paused to think for a moment before continuing, "We'll take the drunkard with us and leave him laid outside nearby, that way we won't have to come back to the tavern and risk running into the pigs or delaying our escape." Mog concluded.

(I'd have to go back and check, but I think the artifact is privately owned by the village leader or something, he's not gonna accept an order from on high from the government, nor are his mercenaries presumably. It could still work, we'd just have to change the bluff to us working for the dude that hired the guards. Alternatively we could just kill them, they have no armour.)

Sleep well guys. I had fun. Hopefully El-Reed can show up to next session and we get some more players. Remember that I am PST, so it is earlier for me than it is for you guys, it was part of the reason why I was late to this session. You guys will probably get here and start a few hours earlier than I'll be available. Just a heads up since we'll be doing the robbery next session.

>>5449731
It would be nicer if someone didn't kidnap our fucking drood.
>>5449733
Ah, I kind of assumed that barn was a barn and not his home, so he'd be not there (and it was a joke to begin with). I'd rather try to avoid killing anyone without a reason... especially since the faggots who hired us are obviously the bad ones and for all we know this elder is a nice guy and those guards chill too. Still wondering how can we use the lightning daggers to our advantage btw.
>>5449739
Dw about posting, your posts are the best to read, lol. I'm up for rp/filler during the week, we could drag the deer out n stuff.

Goodnight everyone

>>5449745
I mean...we are animals, the barn could very well be his actual home, lol.

I'm kinda mixed on killing anyone myself. Was kinda surprised that QM went with a robbery as our first adventure given that he saw that I chose a paladin as a character, but I guess QM has a plan for this campaign and the artifact is probably central to it or at least this robbery is an inciting incident.

Still, I think this can still work with my character depending on how gods and divinity works in this setting - namely whether we are going with standard DnD gods and morality or whether a class is just a skill/power set for combat purposes - since while I didn't mention my character's backstory in or out of character yet, I intended to take either a muddier take on Oath of the Ancients or Oath of Vengeance when I reach level 3. The idea being that Mog isn't actually a 'raised in a monastery' kind of paladin, but a soldier who just started getting feelings of a higher power blessing him one day after a particularly desperate bout of prayer, hence why I deliberately didn't take the religion skill and why Mog doesn't exactly sound like a typical do-gooder.

I think with how 5e works you can just declare non-lethal damage and magically avoid killing anyone without any severe penalties to hit or damage, at least as far as I remember. If the worst comes to pass, well, they are mercenaries at least, we wouldn't be killing the town guard. But, yes, I do think we should try deceit or stealth first before fighting.

I think we could use the dagger to set fire to something in a pinch to distract someone. Or maybe to power some device since we seem to be in a post-apocalyptic world after all the humans died and the animals became sentient and took over.

>>5449772
>I mean...we are animals, the barn could very well be his actual home, lol.
I have poor imagination (legit aphantasia) and as such keep forgetting we are actual honest to god animals in a world suited for animals unless something makes me realize it. Shame QM doesn't write much.
>I'm kinda mixed on killing anyone myself.
I went from trying to be mary sue or having a self-insert to trying and constrain my urge to shoot every problem and focus on the character background. Altho the thunder daggers were simply too good to pass by them.
>campaign structure
I have never played D&D before in my life, this is the first time. Just trying to do thing even if I'm overwhelmed cause I dunno how to do it (like finding help from the smugglers).
>Paladinstuff
gawh don't tell me. The very season I swapped from monk to rogue was that I couldn't roleplay as a monk and didn't want the gay monastery shit near my le unique oc and I was told it was crucial part for the monk by someone. So I just changed to someone closer to my own random attitude and who would be helpful.
>non-lethal damage
Well my schtick was/is supposed to be a transporter type of deal. Someone like one of the smugglers I hired to disappear the relic. Get in, get out, do everything to move thing from point A to point B, avoid conflict rather than fight + plus an eye for various items. More organized than them.
>deceit or stealth first before fighting
I imagined this whole heist differently and expected to just go first, lockpicking the way, but now see it's not possible without distraction and a way to communicate if I'm in distress. However, a thunder dagger could be used as a signal...
>I think we could use the dagger to set fire to something in a pinch to distract someone
Yeah I've had this idea come into my mind thrice and I still don't think it's a good lol.
>post-apocalyptic world after all the humans died and the animals became sentient and took over

Good night. We can talk another day, I'll let you sleep.

>>5449833
I wouldn't stay longer anyway, anon. Was half-asleep at that point.

>>5449833
So do we drag the deer out and prep him for the escape?

>>5450432
Yeah, we can't leave him in the tavern. Once the heat is on us we have to start moving immediately. From QM's description of the three major animal factions it seems like the pigs will be a problem for us beyond this one town, so betraying them is gonna put us in hot water, plus we are stealing from the local leader in the first place, so we gotta skip town.

I think we have to bring the deer to the heist even if his player doesn't attend, we won't have time to go back to the bar or elsewhere to pick him up otherwise. Just be semi-honest if we go the deception route with the guards and say our deer friend (heh) is drunk.

>>5450744
What do you propose for the potential deception route? What would obvious adventurers look for in a heavily-guarded barn belonging to the elder? Work? Should we just pretend we're there to see him, hoping to be let inside?
Also here's another idea (that won't work due to guard patrols): Mog could dig a back entrance.
I've been also toying with with the concept of setting barn on fire to smoke the dogs out, so you can break the planks on the back with your hammer and we can enter in the chaos, but that won't work cause we has no oxygen tank.

>>5456518
No worries, I'm good for tomorrow but owing to my timezone and stuff I have to do in the morning I'll be 'late'. It seems you are like 9-ish hours ahead of me.

Sorry if my post yesterday confused you guys. It was meant to explain why I didn't have time yesterday to plan our deception, but because of how late I posted it probably looked like I meant I wouldn't be available on Tuesday or would be super late.

To make it up to you I will try DMing tomorrow, this coming Tuesday, and next Wednesday.
Again sorry for the sudden absence.

"It's about time you showed up. We were wonder if you were going to arrive on time. But no two minutes late. Luckily we still have all night to do this. The stupid rabbit got done with checking whatever is in there. Now then onto business. I have a plan for this sort of occasion."
>Tweed then pulls out a map from his satchel.
>It's poorly drawn over by his hoofmanship but it's still legible to read...
>I think?
"Alright here's the plan. You two are going to sneak in there and dispose of the guards anyway you can think of. After the wolves are down, you will then enter the barn and find whatever it is we are looking for. Whether it be fine treasure or technology from the Old Ones. We are sure whatever the old coot of a rabbit is hiding, it will be consider a high payment for all of us. Once you get the item you will meet us over at the thrown of the Old Ones, give us the item, and you will recieve your reward. Once that is done we can all make our escape in the forest. Now any questions about the plan?"

>>5457363
Kinny scratched his nose at this. "Dispose any way we can think of? That means we can just talk our way through them, right?" He then looked at the state-of-the-art map. "I see. Honestly, you better wait in the forest, that way nobody will see you with us."
>>5456662
The cat turned to the wolf. "What do you say we spin a fantastic tale about being artifact experts their rabbit boss hired? Can say we're late cause our carriage broke on the way here and we have to leave tomorrow for business, so we either get to work now or he has to pay another 50k and wait another couple weeks for us to return?," he offered a peaceful alternative.

>>5457394
>"Dispose any way we can think of? That means we can just talk our way through them, right?"
"If you can. Those bitches are going to be hard to talk to though. So your plan of being "engineers" or "artifact experts" better be a convincing one to them. Don't want to see you becoming wolf chow. Heard it was a hard way to go when it comes to being eaten."
>"Honestly, you better wait in the forest, that way nobody will see you with us."
"Hmm... smart plan kitty cat. Smart plan indeed. We won't go too deep in the forest but we will meet you there. Just hope that the artifact is not too heavy for your pwetty wittle claws and your wolf friend's spine."

>>5457409
I'll wait for mog before continuing since approach is still up to him and the heist will require both players.

>>5457233
Just so you know, the SP down at the bottom of your sheet stands for "silver pieces", just like CP stands for "copper pieces" and GP for "gold pieces" and EP for "electrum pieces" and so on.

Anyways, I'm here now. Just for reference, this is about as early as I can make it most days.

>>5457394
Mog's nose flared as he took a sharp intake of breath and glanced heavensward to think. After a moment he said "That could work, really claiming to be anything from additional guards to giant rat exterminators, or tax auditors looking to make sure the square footage of the barn and land plot line up with their records could all work. It is the execution of the lie that is the problem.

He glanced back down at Kinny and motioned towards the barn after taking a few steps away from the pigs. After a moment he added "Say they believe us and let us inside, how are we gonna move the object or let inside your smuggler contacts to move it if it is heavy? We seem to have stumbled onto a problem of logistics, I thought we were gonna meet your contacts before proceeding with the plan and scurrying into the night. The guards may believe us to let us in, but they aren't gonna let us take anything."

The limping wolf waved off the pigs and motioned for Kinny to set off towards the barn slowly with him. "We'll talk on the way, I don't want those pigs overhearing too much," he muttered before continuing after they were further away "We should harden our hearts and be prepared to fight just in case our lies don't work out or we can't figure a way to bluff our way back out with the object. Maybe if we go with the idea of us being government officials we can say that it is an illegal possession or against regulations or something. One idea I hand is that when we get close, we could crawl stealthily in the grass and have you throw one of your fancy new daggers into a patch of dry grass away from us instead of the barn itself, since there is no other nearby buildings to set ablaze for a distraction. Hopefully the guards would be distracted long enough putting out the fire so the barn isn't in danger that we could slip in and out without trouble. Wha'dya think, partner?"

>>5457549
"Guards could maybe work, but government officials don't come knocking at your door at night I recon, they're too lazy. The best shot we've got are private contractors who're in a hurry for personal reasons. That's why I thought artifact experts would fit, that... and the fact I'm kind of an artifact "enthusiast" myself." Kinny responded as they moved closer to the barn.

"My friends should be around here somewhere, we just need to find them and tell them where we'll meet. They might not be keen on entering with us, however." The cat stopped to set his backpack on the ground and started rummaging through it.
"As for starting a fire..," he said as he pulled out a dark candle and a flask full of oil, "I thought we could set up a timer before we get inside and use the chaos created by the fire to make our exit." Kinny stopped talking to think for a moment. "Or alternatively, I could try to climb up the roof, spill the oil there and later set it off with a dagger..."

My sheet file is fucked and apparently can't be fixed so I'll have to rewrite it all anyway.
>>5457409
Can we get a map of the barn area and/or inside of barn or nah?
When I observed the barn, were there places close by not patrolled by the guards where we could spill oil and leave the candle? I want to set the barn on fire, just not near the entrance. That way they will be under panic to put the fire out.

>>5457580
"I think going with the simplest idea is best, especially with how rushed this plan is. Pretending to be guards is the most believable idea, though I think trying to present ourselves as anything else could work depending on how well we sell it, we'd need some excuse to get inside or take the interior watch if we went with the guards story." The skunk-striped wolf whispered back.

After a moments contemplation he added "I think combining your ideas regarding the fire works best. Set up the timer, but do it on the roof, it'll be more effective if what they are trying to protect is in danger from the fire rather than just setting some grassland on fire. That way we can bluff our way in and have a distraction on the way out. We'll use the fire as an excuse to take the artifact out, preserving the bosses goods, y'know. That way we have an excuse to go in as well as out if we go with the simplest lie of us being additional hired muscle. If you get caught sneaking up on the roof then we'll just fight, you from the roof with your daggers, me on the ground. If you go down for whatever reason, I have the ability to bring you back up with my...newfound abilities."

Mog smirked, they seemed to have worked out most of the kinks in their plan, things were looking up. With the planning mostly done he picked up the pace for a bit before stopping and lying down behind some tall grass out of sight from the barn. "You go on ahead and plant the timer before coming back and meeting me here. Then we'll work out any last details and approach them." he said with a note of finality. It was time, the heist had begun.

>>5457592
Do we start this shit without contacting the smugglers first? Once I get up on that roof there's no going back. Also mind you that your shield will attract my lightning, iirc it was stated when you bought it.

>>5457580
Don't worry about your sheet now, we shouldn't have to worry about edits until something major like a level up or something. Just make sure to keep track of your HP, ammunition, any lost items you use up in a fight, etc, somewhere. No need to post the updated sheet constantly, I just did that because I was still adding details to the sheet from the barely completed version I first posted.

>>5457409
You there QM? I think Kinny just needs one more post, plus a roll and then it should be over to you. We're ready to begin the heist now I think.

Ask and ye shall receive. Sorry for taking so long.
Just pretend wolves are surrounding the area.

>The two soon arrive near the barn.
>There they see the old barn door closed and guarded by four wolves.
>All female and clearly tired.
>Must be near the time they switch guards soon.
>You could probably use their tired state of mind to your advantage.
>They haven't noticed you yet so you still have time to come up with a nice lie.
>Looking around you can see the barn is surrounded by dry grass.
>Perfect for starting a fire.
>One lightning dagger could do the trick and you can start a nice blaze with it.
>The only real problem you probably have... is opening that door.
>That might take a bit of brute strength to get open.

>>5457594
I think it should only attract it if you throw a lightning dagger at an enemy near to me, but we'd have to actually test it to find out. For now just throw your regular daggers if you are worried about the lightning attraction one-shotting me, later you should buy a bow as a ranged option. The candle timer should do away with the need for throwing a lightning dagger onto the roof.

>>5457594
As for the smugglers, I think we might as well start, no point wasting more posts and time finding them before coming back here. We'll take the object and just haul it a little ways to the forest where the smugglers instead of the pigs presumably are. I assume you have preset a rally point in-fiction or something. I think there was a little bit of confusion, because I'm surprised we even met up with the pigs to confirm the heist, since we already learned about the artifact and have no intention of honouring our agreement with the pigs I thought we'd have gone straight to the heist.

Anyways, I think you'll just need a post describing you sneaking up to the barn, it'll probably be two rolls, a stealth check and acrobatics check probably.

Rolled 18 + 6 (1d20 + 6)

>>5457609
"Yeah I guess you're right, there isn't much time if we want to bag the artifact and outrun those porkchops." Kinny throws his backpack over the shoulder and looks at Mog. "What a peculiar guard this rabbit has picked. Good thing we've got an alpha wolf to *mis*lead their pack, no?" He says before departing.
>>5457601
Kinny attempts to avoid the patrols and sneak up to a wall like a furry shadow.
>Rolling stealth
Are the walls metal or wooden?

>All female
*sigh* I roll seduction. Guarantee you if this was mentioned in the OP we'd be playing with 10 anons rn.

>>5457618
Mog suppressed a laugh with some difficulty after hearing Kinny's jape. "Good luck buddy." he muttered into the wind.

Yeah, we'd have 10 players, but they'd all be furries. Is that a cost that is worth it? kek

>>5457618
>24 on female avoidance
maidenless once again, huh

>>5457618
Good thing it wasn't. Aldo going to assume your roll was for climbing.
>Kinny tries climbing the barn to reach the roof.
>Luckily the barn is made of wood painted to look like metal.
>It takes some time but you reach the top with none of the wolves noticing you.
>No need to celebrate yet though.
>You only completed the first part of your plan.
>What will Kinny do now?

>>5457626
>Mog is still not seen by the wolves either.
>What will the dog do?

>>5457634
>Mog lays down, hidden by the grass, waiting for Kinny.

The plan is for Kinny to plant his timed fire using the candle as a timer and his oil as accelerant. I'm just waiting for him to come back to me, then we'll both approach approach the guards and pretend to be the shift change or additional hired guards. The fire will go off, which we'll use as an excuse to get inside to "protect the bosses stuff" and then skadaddle with the loot.

I'll brb in 40 minutes, just gotta get some groceries.

Rolled 7 + 4 (1d20 + 4)

>>5457634
First thing Kinny does once he's up on the roof is scanning the nearby area using his advantageous position, trying to locate the smugglers for one last time.
Once that's done, the black cat takes out a flask of oil and carefully pours its contents out on the roof, covering as big of an area as he can and making sure his paws don't get dirty in the process. He then pockets the empty flask and sets one of his slow burning candles in the oil puddle and ignites it using the tinderbox. With timer being set, the cat scutters to the edge of the roof and prepares to get down.

>>5457655
>As Kinny is setting up he spots nothing from the smugglers.
>As he safely travel down from the barn, still he sees nothing.
>It's amazing how they haven't shown up yet.
>Either they have played you, plan on stabbing you on the back, or they simply didn't care enough to help you.
>Either way you got your fire started you might as well leave the rooftops while they are still safe.
>But you do see something approaching Mog as soon as you get down.

>>5457652
>As Mog soon waits and lies low on the grass he soon heard something approaching.
>He suddenly feels something next to him.
>It's the feline Kinny talked to earlier.
"Seems your friend here is taking a big gamble. Personally I would not have burned the barn. Especially if it is carrying precious cargo."
>The cat continued to observe Kinny as her troop soon arrives in the grass quietly.
>Their leader soon puts her eyes on the door.
"So after you have set the barn roof on fire, how do you plan on opening that huge fucking door? That things looks to be made of metal. Must be a strong door if anything. It'll probably take more of us to open it. There are also those bitches. What is your plan to get past them?"

>>5457669
Kinny quietly joined the two and ploped his butt firmly in the grass before adressing the female cat. "That candle won't melt for several minutes so we have time. We don't plan on cooking ourselves in there. As for the bitches... well, let's just say we often hear we can be very... convincing."
if this bitch fucks me over ill neuter her ass and feed her lemons istg

>>5457672
"Convincing? Be convincing how? Do you plan on telling them you are taking their place as night guards? They probably know everyone who is a part of guard duty. You're going to have to do a good job convincing them that you are just another soldier here to guard their precious treasure."
>The bobtailed feline told you.
"Listen I can tell neither of you want to fight them, but they honestly look weak enough that you can take them. Best strategy. You don't even have to kill them. Just knock them out."
>Bobtail then examines the area again just to be safe.
"If you want, we can take care of the guards and you can just enter the building once we get their attention."

I dunno, a dawgs gotta eat.

To be fair, even if we assume cats have infravision like they do in the book most 'low-light' vision stuff only goes 120 feet max, sometimes only 60. So it makes sense you wouldn't be able to see the smugglers unless they were ultra close.

>>5457669
>>5457672
Mog's head turned suddenly as he felt the silent feline next to him, just barely avoiding jolting up in surprise and rattling his chainmail. Root's below, were all cat's this quiet? His nerves sufficiently fired up he slowly let the tension in his body go before replying "It's simple, we're all gonna go up there and pretend to be the relief shift of guards. If there is resistance, then Kinny and I will fast-talk them, if there is trouble still, Kinny and I will show that rabbit why he should've hired us for guards instead of these she-wolves."

A confident smirk wormed its way up Mog's face, and he added with a touch of bravado "Then, when the fire starts, we'll take control and convince the guards we need to save the bosses prized goods if we still wanna get payed, they'll basically open the door for us. If we have to put them down then that is still no problem, I'm pretty sure Kinny has a crowbar and there's all of us to work it open. Should all that fail, then it is still nothing to worry about, I'm plenty strong, I'll just take my hammer and make a hole in the side of the wooden walls. Why try and force your way through a metal door when the wall is weaker? Defeats the point of havin' a metal door to begin with, that rabbit should've thought about that before wasting his money."

He watched as Kinny worked his way back to them, quieter than a still night. That cat could walk between the rain drops in a thunderstorm, a reliable sort. Mog mused about his strange band of animal companions, now not much of a band anymore with recent losses and the deer drunk off his ass. That's just the rules, you fuck around and you get left behind.

When Kinny rejoined them Mog stood up. "It's time, lets go, act natural, loosen up, we belong here." The wolf ordered. With the order given he stepped out from behind the grass and made his way over to the guards, acting casual.

>Rolling turns for Born Leader advantage for Kinny and the smugglers.

Was gonna make a longer, fancier speech before I realised my post was getting rather long and you guys might be wondering if I died in traffic or something.

"Halt!"
>The leader of the wolves shouts at you.
"Who are all of you and why do you come here? This area is forbidden for any animal to enter. Taking a step here univited will have you put into public execution.

I'm back, sorry had trouble with Windows Update slowing down my PC. I'll start writing now.

Also, I'd like to have Kinny take the Assist action to give me Advantage on my roll instead of us all separately making our own Deception rolls. The way I imagine the scene taking place is Kinny and I each making our own posts fast-talking the wolves with ̶m̶e̶ nevermind, just checked our comparative Deception scores, yours is one higher than mine, ahem, with you taking the lead. I'll take the Assist action to give Kinny advantage. (means you take the best of 2 rolls)

>>5457767
So are you gonna do an assist write-in now or can I post+roll with advantage already?

>>5457772
I think the latter.

>>5457736
Mog snarled, a line of thick, hot saliva working its way down his jawline as his hairs stood up on end and he bared his teeth at the 'general', taking care to mirror her posture. "We're your relief shift, 'general', or have your eyes gone soft?" he barked back.

That's just how you had to act with another who thought themselves your equal, there could only be one alpha. It was a dog eat dog world.

The armour-clad wolf nodded back over his shoulder towards his companions, saying "Freshly hired meat, the old bun bun was extra paranoid what with the pigs in town slobbering over every rumour of what's inside here, wants us to the day into three shifts so we're each fresh for a fight in case the hogs make a move."

Looking pointedly at Kinny, he waited for the cat to say his piece and work his magic. They both had silver tongues, this is what they were good at...most of the time.

Kinny swished his tail lightly and took a step back. "Woah there! Don't tell me the rabbit was so occupied with his toy, that he forgot to tell you about us coming to replace you all tonight? Or are you so sleepy that you forgot?" The cat responded and gave the shewolf an annoyed look. "Either way, we're the new night shift, general Atreyu. Nice to finally meet you."

No worries, your post is generic enough that it would've fit well enough with whatever I wrote even if I went crazy and tried to roll to seduce or something. If you are hung up about it you can always delete your post and rewrite it. Or just write a new post and say to take that instead, since we want to keep the evidence of the good roll.

"Fresh blood to guard the barn? I know the old hare is crazy but I never to put up some young pup and kittens."

"Fair enough. Come on ladies, it's time for a well deserved break."
>The other wolves soon weakly left their posts.
>Thankful that they could finally rest for the night.
"Kind of a good thing you came. The girls were complaining that they needed a drink."
>Atreyu went up to Kinny.
"I'm going to assume you are the leader of this group. If that's the case you are going to need this."
>Atreyu then reached into her satchel and gave you an important item.

>The same one the group already has.
"It's to open the door but it's used for emergencies only. If someone were to wake up. They are going to need help getting out."
>Before you could ask her anything Atreyu soon starts leaving the premises.
"If you don't mind I'm going to take a bath in the lake. That way I can still relax and keep a good eye at the barn. Don't screw this up kid. They are going to need you to be ready for anything."
>Atreyu then heads for the lake.
>You now have a way to enter.
>The fire won't start for a while.

>>5457798
As soon as Atreyu and the she-wolves were out of ear-shot Mog slapped Kinny on the back before reaching an arm over both Kinny's shoulder and that of his smuggler buddy. "Nice goin' kits, told ya there was nothin' to worry about. We're smooth talkers."

With some urgency he ran over to the door. "We gotta hurry, we over complicated things by setting the fire, when it goes off Atreyu and the sigma-bitches are gonna be back to see what the fuck is going on. Luckily we can use it to explain why we are moving the merchandise outta the barn when they catch us in the act. Hurry, lets go, open this door up!" he urged.

I have a feeling that there are humans kept in cyro-stasis or something in here, based on what she said about someone waking up.

>>5457798
Kinny looked at the card dumbfounded before being slapped by the wolf. "Ow, yeah. Looks like these kittens still have a thing or two to learn," the cat said and gave the smuggler a smug grin before following Mog.
>>5457814
Kinny approached the door with white card in his paw and handed it to the nervous wolf. "I got a spare key to this door earlier, you can have this one in case things go south," cat said as he patted his backpack, "let's see what it's all about, then."

Im going away for 30-60 mins, passin the torch to Mog until then.

>>5457798
>>5457840
"Thanks, I was wonderin' what you picked up from that old lizard anyhow. Strange, what was he doin' with one of these anyways?" Mog's musings turned into incomprehensible mutterings as he took the keycard.

He looked around for a place to slot the keycard into to open the door.

>I open the door, assuming I don't have to roll to find the key slot and understand how technology works.

Uh, does your phone still work while plugged in for charging? I dunno if this is a dumb question, every electronic I own still works when I plug it in for charging. Or maybe you can let it charge for like 30 minutes before checking if you need to post? I imagine we don't have long to go before QM calls it a night as well.

Also, move the trash aside and check the floors, maybe there is an entrance going underground or something on the ceiling, keep a look out, leave no stone unturned." Mog belted out orders.

Mog turned and quietly murmured over his shoulder "Come with me Kinny, we'll go left to right."

>Assisting Kinny with a Perception Check.
>Going along the left wall to the back wall, then right. Checking in and around the beds, moving them and checking the floors underneath them, moving the various junk and checking the floor underneath them as well in addition to examining the objects themselves. I also move the paintings and check behind them and examine the sign against the back wall before finally moving the junk in the back right corner.

I see that hidden stairwell in the back right corner, no hiding from me.

Kinny ignored the annoying bobtail and followed Mog. "Yeah that's probably a good idea." As the two walked through the room, cat checked every nook and cranny, looking for stuff that could help them, things out of ordinary or just coldness.

Kinny tugged on mog's paw, pointed at the entrance and whispered "There's the passage! We should get down and check out the room to stay ahead of those amateurs." The cat jogged in place nervously, ready to dash through the hole like there was a mouse kingdom underneath.

There are totally humans in tubes down below, why else would there be beds and anime body pillows up here. Also, damn, if only we had an extra player to play a bear and make carrying heavy objects plausible, though going strictly by 5e rules as written I should have no trouble carrying the fire extinguisher and a body pillow, though volume may be a problem.

"Wait, just a minute, I want to prep the loot up here for a quick escape, it'll only take a minute. I haven't forgotten about the fire, don't worry. Cover the hole, I'll alert the others when I'm done. I don't want them bolting off ahead of us because they are antsy about the fire or the guards." Mog reassured the tremulous cat the best way he knew how; with a glimpse into his intent and instructions on what to do next.

With that done, he quickly sprinted over to one of the strange wheeled chairs. 'Strange, why is the seat so high up and shaped so weird? How are you supposed to move it while sitting down? Is it like one of those metal carriages?' he thought to himself as he grabbed the lip of the seat and tugged it over to the red cylinder.

"Grab the linens and the pillow, that shit is expensive! Bring at least one of each of the stuffed things too, and the liquid thing. Take the info placards from the wall and stack them against the back of the seat of this...wheel...chair...yeah, wheelchair, that's what I'll call it. Hurry, we don't have time to waste!" barked Mog to the bobtail smuggler cat. He had to bring order to chaos, there was no point in missing out on this junk because the smugglers panicked about the timetable. This wasn't what they were looking for, but everything was valuable to someone.

With his orders given he leapt into the seat then leaned over to clutch the flexible black part hanging from the top of the red cylinder and lifted it up into the seat. After that was done he took the female smuggler aside while the others loaded the stuff into the wheelchair. "Kinny found a passage underground, we think the the artifact is down there. We'll take one of the wheelchairs down there to carry the loot and leave this one up here to carry this stuff off when we bolt. I'll have Kinny scout ahead." he explained, hoping his aura of calm, firm leadership would overcome the lack of familiarity between him and this femme fatale. Kinny was the link that brought them together and was the bond of trust between the two groups, but while they were working together Mog needed the smugglers to understand he lead the group.

With a final glance at the rune on the plaque and the skeleton he moved over to Kinny after memorizing what he could. "We're loaded up. Scout ahead, quietly. I want to bring one of the wheelchairs down there to carry loot, but it'll be noisy so I want you to look around quietly for us before we go banging around down there." he ordered. The cat had been shaking earlier, Mog hid his excitement better, but now it was time. This was it.

>The order of the rolls is Athletics check to lift the fire extinguisher on my own, the next is Persuasion check for leadership over the smugglers during this operation without them fussing over the timetable, the last is an intelligence check to memorize the skeleton anatomy and the rune on the large placard so I can run a history check on it later from memory without wasting time here thinking about it.

My Athletics is +6, my Persuasion is +8, my Intelligence is +0. I imagine I succeed on the first two, probably not the third.

Sorry I took so long, it takes time to write out all that. I'm not nearly as fast a writer as I used to be 10-15 years ago.

Kinny stopped shaking and reluctantly put some debris around the hole to cover it from the bobtails. He watched Mog boss the cats around, move items and have a staring contest with the weird skeleton before returning to the hole.
After hearing the wolf explain his plan, cat gave the metal chair a judgemental look then looked up at Mog. "You might succeed to bring that thing down there, but good luck pulling it back up over these stairs," he nodded to the steps below. "But do what you think is best, friend. It's high time I evaluate the mysterious object," the impatient rogue said before pulling out a tiny hooded lantern and descending down the hole.

The female dolls, the stuffed things other than the bears look like stuffed anime characters or anime body pillows to me. I assumed the bears were for the girls and the dakimakura were for the boys if my guess about there being humans in cryosleep downstairs was true. Because of course the old rabbit would be a horny degenerate

I imagine Kinny leaping up onto the railing for no reason when he traverses down the stairs, because he's a cat, of course he would. Just my headcanon though, also to avoid pressure plate traps or ankle height laser trip wires from a DnD dungeoneering prospective. lol

Kinny experienced a milisecond of a heart-attack before forcing a relieved and curious expression onto his face and snapping into the role of some nerd. "Oh thank goodness! I thought I'd have to look for a light switch with this damn lantern! I'm Taj Majal, Dr Nicklas' new assistant! He sent me here to familiarize myself with the place," the cat showed his key-card, "b-but he didn't say he already had a helper? Who do I have the pleasure speaking with?" The cat sneaked a bit of distrust into his voice. He was only just now acknowledging the fact that he was explaining himself to a tiny squeaking rodent, but decided it was worth to go through with it if just to extract information.

The sudden flare of red, then white light startled Mog as he anxiously stared down into what was once murky darkness. He thought carefully. 'Kinny could just have found a bigger light source down there. However, I did tell him to quietly scout things out, this light coming on is bright and loud. Therefore, either Kinny deemed the area secure enough to risk lighting the worlds biggest torch or he was discovered and needs my help.' he concluded.

"Kinny may have gotten himself into trouble, finish load up and then follow me in a few minutes, I'm going to check on him." he told the cat who he still didn't know the name of. He almost left before deciding it would be prudent to ask her in case he needed to call her specifically for help. "Hey, real quick, before I go, what do you go by?"

With answer in paw he grabbed the other wheelchair and gingerly rolled it down the stairs. When he saw the mouse his heart froze. With a herculean amount of effort he pushed down his panic and rolled the last bit of the wheelchair down the steps, this time loudly so as to distract the mouse. Thinking fast and remembering what Atreyu said about 'someone waking up' or something he flashed his rank insignia in the mouse's face before yelling "WE GOTTA MOVE! THE ROOF IS ON FIRE! THE WHOLE PLACE IS GONNA BURN DOWN!" He took a moment to feign calming himself down before continuing, "I'm a new guard, we just switched out with Atreyu. We gotta move the sleepers before the building burns down. Quick, load them into the chair!"

"Dr Nicklas has been dead for a hundred years. My grandfather told me so. He would tell you himself but he just got done putting out a fire with all my brothers, sisters, aunts, and uncles. Good thing it only just started. Imagine if it got all over the roof. Everyone underneath it would have been dead."
>The mouse then stared at you a bit more.
>He sniffs your fur as if he is searching for some sort of scent.
"You wouldn't be the one who started that we just put out? If so, my father is on his way to Elder Swift and telling him on you. So tell me the truth or I'll get my mum. Did you start the fire?"

>>5464237
No, the QM is rolling for the mouse to use Perception on you to see if he smells the oil you used. He probably succeeded.

I'm hoping my bluff saves you from discovery by distracting the mouse with how urgently I'm acting and my decent roll.

It does seem odd that the mouse would somehow get on the roof to put out the fire we JUST started and back underground again when it seemed like that big atrium room upstairs takes up presumably the entire width of the inside of the barn. So the mouse must either have a small internal passageway up to the roof just for emergencies, have an exit that leads outside, whereupon he climbed up onto the roof to put out the fire, or he is talking about a different fire.

Firstly, something I should probably do is wait and see what Mog does. We need to know what the dog doing.
Secondly, I thought you were just going to run for it. You are near the basement and his little size and feet probably would not catch up with you.
Thirdly, an unarmed strike (not done by a monk) can only do one damage.
Last point, yes you would get advantage, but if you are going to punch the mouse, I would ask, lethally or nonlethally?

Basically my impression was that from Heist start with Kinny setting up the timed fire to now, only a few minutes had passed despite it being a couple weeks IRL.

Also, did I ever get the she-cat's name? I asked in my post above.

The scarred wolf glowered, a low growl emanating from deep within his throat. He turned to look at Kinny in feigned confusion. "You? Didn't I just catch you outside skirting our perimeter? I told you that you'd pay dearly if you trespassed. How'd you even get by us?" he pretended to ask while meeting Kinny's eyes, trying to convey 'just go along with this for now'.

Not waiting for his answer he turned to the mouse and said "Oh, he's not one of ours. Just some trespasser. We'll send him over, don't you worry."

He motioned up to the stairs. "Get goin' kit, before I decide to take a bite outta ya." he emphasized his threat with a snap of his jaws. Then he started up after Kinny for a couple of steps before turning around to speak to the mouse. "You're gonna have to give me a tour of the place once I hand this villain to my boys, General Atreyu didn't give me the courtesy before taking off to relax in the lake. I need to get orientated, situate my troops. It sure would've helped if I knew the way to the roof from the inside when I saw that fire. I gotta familiarize my boys with the layout so we can actually perform our procedures if we ever need to move someone that wakes up." he said, trying his best to set up the future situation so they still had a chance to have a legitimate reason to go deeper into the facility without hostilities emerging.

Once he got his answers he'd return upstairs to plan their next step with Kinny. Otherwise they'd have to do things the hard way.

>Rolling Persuasion to get the mouse to give me a tour of the entire facility and explain everything about their procedures and what is going on and any details that a guard captain should know to orientate his troops.

>>5464262
Bruh, no worries, I got a plan to get access to the rest of the facility, assuming my roll succeeds. Also, unarmed damage is trash in 5e unless you are a monk. If you wanna go non-lethal then just use your weapons and declare non-lethal intent and play it off as you striking him with the pommel of your daggers/shortsword/whatever. I know it is unintuitive to use a lethal weapon to maximize damage and still being able to get non-lethal damage, but unarmed damage is, again, absolute trash in 5e unless you are a monk. If we are fighting at all, it'll be with our weapons or spells for characters who have them.

>>5464266
>>5464262
Actually, just for the memes I'll ask; do we get the bite and claw damage that our characters would get from being animals? The animals in the manual actually has somewhat okay damage for their natural weapons. I'm imagining the memetically lethal house cats from third edition that destroyed low level parties with their multi-attacks and...I think it was d4s for damage or something crazy. lmao.

>>5464244
"You think too much, maybe my boys should just *knock you out* next time," the cat hissed at the mouse and clenched his paw, before shooting wolf a look. "FINE, I'LL GO," he declared and began slowly walking towards the stairs.
>>5464268
As Kinny walked alongside Mog, he whispered into his ear. "Take a hint and wrap this up before your cover falls apart, too." The gloomy rogue made his way upstairs to face the bobcat and her compatriots.
>>5464266
I wanted to knock the fucker out but apparently D&D didn't predict a cat vs mouse scenario.
And actually >>5464268 made a fair point. The fir wasn't started, it was a candle in a puddle of oil that would melt and set the roof ablaze... like just about now. I assumed it was put out behind the scenes, but now I'm not sure.
