18:21 <bookworm>: Ookook, would it be offensive to just call you "Monkey?"
18:21 <bookworm>: I feel Victor would say that instead; not to be mean, just because it comes out easier.
18:21 <bookworm>: If it's racist or something he wouldn't
18:21 <bookworm>: If he knew that
18:21 <Moontide>: I would think not.
18:22 <bookworm>: Ok
18:23 <bookworm>: I'm/he's thinking ahead to in-battle communication
18:23 <bookworm>: Need to be able to address each other clearly and efficiently
18:25 <bookworm>: I think I'm only going to journal once for each adventure this campaign. Doing one for each session is usually unnecessary, unless a ton happens.
18:27 Woody is now known as Alan
18:28 Skid is now known as Gromit
18:28 Moontide is now known as Ookook
18:28 bookworm is now known as Victor
18:29 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alright, this campaign when you want you character to do an action, please put it in the "/ me does something" form.
18:30 Gromit eats candy.
18:30 <Victor>: Hmm
18:30 Ookook play cymbals
18:31 <Victor>: I don't know if that will always fit
18:31 <Victor>: But okay
18:31 <Tikvah_GMing>: It will make it easier for me to tell when you are actually doing the thing, vs talking about doing the thing.
18:31 <Victor>: Yes
18:33 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alright, you meet up with Finn and he hands out your uniforms and other gear. "I'm taking you back to the castle today, but we've got to stop along the way and investigate a village. They've been complaining about monsters for the past few days."
18:33 Alan scoffs at everyone's foolishness in a manner worthy of royalty
18:34 Gromit gears up. "Lead on, then."
18:34 Ookook makes monkey sounds.
18:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: "When you arrive at the village you are met by the village elder, who offers to show you around the village.
18:34 <Victor>: We just enlisted?
18:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.
18:34 <Victor>: What is the nature of "these papers" we're supposed to sign?
18:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: Hmmm.
18:35 <Tikvah_GMing>: If you read them, you would know.
18:35 Victor obviously reads contacts before he signs them
18:36 <Tikvah_GMing>: The village consists of one street with houses along either side, and a sturdy stone warehouse at one end. Behind the houses are a collection of sheds and barns.
18:36 <Tikvah_GMing>: The village is surrounded by forests.
18:37 <Gromit>: Are there any obvious signs of monsters here? Blood? Screaming? People who don't look like their skin fits?
18:37 <Victor>: Oh I thought we would meet each other first for a minute
18:37 <Tikvah_GMing>: You will have time to do that after. Finn just wants to get back to the castle.
18:38 <Ookook>: Are we currently at the village or behind the castle?
18:38 <Alan>: !roll d20 specialized perception
18:38 <Dicebot>: Alan, specialized perception: 2
18:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: The village elder tells you that the monsters only come out at night, so the villagers have been staying in the warehouse at night.
18:38 <Victor>: Well I haven't signed the paper yet so I don't know if I followed...
18:38 <Gromit>: I think signing the paper was literally in the intro, so by playing it's already been signed.
18:39 <Victor>: You don't have to write the exact words, just, is it what I would find standard content?
18:39 <Tikvah_GMing>: The paper was various legal fineprint, saying you can't sue for lost limbs.
18:40 <Victor>: Nothing that seems extremely odd?
18:40 <Victor>: As someone experienced in contacts of this nature
18:40 <Tikvah_GMing>: No.
18:40 Victor signs, nods to the others, follows to the village
18:40 <Gromit>: Did you put legal knowledge on your character sheet?
18:40 <Victor>: Not legal as such, but I've been making contacts of this nature for years
18:40 <Victor>: It's my job
18:40 <Tikvah_GMing>: You are at the village. What do?
18:40 <Alan>: I go to investigate the security of the warehouse
18:40 <Alan>: Er
18:41 Alan investigates the security of the warehouse
18:41 Ookook looks around for a villager who seems willing to talk.

18:42 <Dicebot>: Gromit: 3
18:42 <Gromit>: Nice.
18:43 <Tikvah_GMing>: You see a few worried looking villagers scurrying around, but everyone is staying close to the village. One of the houses has a smashed door.
18:43 <Ookook>: "The bad guys come out at just night. In the day, we can split up to learn more."
18:43 <Ookook>: "And not die much."
18:44 Alan checks out the house with the smashed door
18:44 Victor asks them to describe the monsters
18:45 <Tikvah_GMing>: The door is was broken from the outside with heavy blows. Some clawmarks and tufts of hair line the doorframe
18:45 Alan enters the house
18:45 Gromit waits outside and tastes some of the hair.
18:46 <Tikvah_GMing>: "The first time we saw the monsters it was a dark, foggy night so I didn't get a good look. It was big and made snuffling noises. Sometimes it shrieked."
18:46 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit, roll for it.

18:46 <Victor>: Does it sound like anything I've experienced or heard of before?
18:47 <Tikvah_GMing>: It tastes like it belongs to some form of pig. The creature seems to have been staying a musty place.
18:48 <Ookook>: "Must be a wild boar that is threatening the town!"
18:48 <Gromit>: "Or werepigs."
18:48 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, you enter the house, everything is smashed. In one corner is a large bloodstain, and old war spear, and some sharp quills. A battle obviously happened here.
18:49 <Alan>: Can I loot?
18:49 <Tikvah_GMing>: If you want to explain to the villagers why you are stealing from an abandoned house.
18:49 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, make a wildlife knowledge check.
18:49 <Gromit>: Alan: as log as nobody is watching.
18:50 Alan asks the elder what happened here
18:50 <Gromit>: And I'm not working with you, criminal scum.
18:50 Ookook looks for hoof tracks
18:50 <Victor>: Do I have an asset for dealing with various wildlife for years?
18:50 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.
18:50 <Victor>: !roll d20
18:50 <Dicebot>: Victor: 3
18:50 <Victor>: Eh, there are a lot of different kinds of creatures out there

18:50 <Ookook>: !roll d20
18:50 <Dicebot>: Ookook: 16
18:51 <Tikvah_GMing>: Ookook, you find hoof tracks on the roads leading into the village. A lot of them.
18:51 Gromit goes inside and samples the blood.
18:51 Victor stays around Gromit, offput but intrigued by his eating everything around
18:52 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit, roll.

18:53 <Ookook>: !roll d20
18:53 <Dicebot>: Ookook: 8
18:53 <Tikvah_GMing>: You taste a mix of human blood, and the creature at the door.
18:53 <Tikvah_GMing>: Also a strange musky taste you can't identify.
18:53 <Gromit>: Roughly how old is this crime scene?
18:53 <Tikvah_GMing>: It looks a couple days old.
18:53 <Alan>: Do I get an answer from the elder?
18:55 <Tikvah_GMing>: "The first night we saw the monsters, everyone agreed to come and stay in the warehouse for safety. But not Aakon. He didn't believe there was anything out there. In the morning we came to his house and found this. No body anywhere."
18:55 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn looks bored.
18:56 <Gromit>: Does the village keep pigs?
18:56 <Ookook>: Or any kind of hoofed critter?
18:56 <Tikvah_GMing>: No. This is a woodcutting village.
18:57 <Gromit>: So any tracks we find should lead us to the culprit.
18:57 <Victor>: "There's just one creature?"
18:57 <Ookook>: "There were many many tracks at the edges of the village."
18:57 <Victor>: "Ah."
18:57 <Tikvah_GMing>: Many horseback riding travellers would frequent the roads.
18:57 <Gromit>: Horse feet typically look a little different, unless we're deating with centaurs.
18:58 <Ookook>: "So a whole army of wild boars killed Aakon"
18:58 <Gromit>: And I have a taste for the creature(s) now.
18:58 <Tikvah_GMing>: "We once saw the monster ones, but at night we hear them scratching at the door and shrieking around the warehouse."
18:59 <Gromit>: "Every night?"
18:59 <Tikvah_GMing>: "Every night since we first saw them."
18:59 <Ookook>: "Could Gromit taste the tracks to see if they are monster?"
18:59 Alan checks the warehouse
18:59 <Gromit>: "What else is a detective for?"
18:59 <Ookook>: "Then again, pig tracks might just taste like toenail."
19:00 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, do you go inside the warehouse, or look at the outside?
19:00 <Victor>: Can we get a sense from the prints and fight scene how large or not these are?
19:00 <Ookook>: "Weird feeding pattern for boars."
19:00 <Gromit>: "Toenails have a distinct aroma if you know what to look for."
19:00 <Alan>: I want to look at the outside first
19:00 <Gromit>: Did someone bring construction skill?
19:01 <Tikvah_GMing>: Judging by the claw marks in Aakon's house, the creature is at least as tall as a human.
19:02 <Ookook>: "Orcs maybe?"
19:02 <Ookook>: "Orcs are man-pigs basicly."
19:02 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, the warehouse is a sturdy building made of stone. The door is heavy oak, but you can see scratch marks on it.
19:02 <Tikvah_GMing>: The roof is shingled.
19:02 <Ookook>: "Maybe we should wait in the trees outside the warehouse until nightfall, then the fight the baddies."
19:02 <Victor>: "Are we here to fight?"
19:02 <Gromit>: "Are you not?"
19:04 <Victor>: "I'm not opposed to it, but it's not my call."
19:04 <Victor>: I look to Finn
19:04 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn yawns. "So if we want to catch these creatures, we have to stay here till nightfall, or treck through the woods to find their hideout. I don't know about you guys, but I'm staying here."
19:04 <Gromit>: Does Finn look like much of a fighter?
19:04 <Ookook>: "Even if we were not here to fight, knowing the plight that these poor villagers are in, we must save them. Also, FIGHTING. Two times better than cooking."
19:05 <Alan>: "I think staying here would be wise. We have the advantage of an open area"
19:05 <Tikvah_GMing>: "We have to clear the village of monsters, but I'm leaving the methods up to you guys."
19:05 Victor nods
19:06 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn carries duel swords on his back, and has a collection of dueling scars on his face. He looks like an able fighter.
19:06 <Gromit>: "Well, we could try negotiating with the giant bloodthirsty pigs."
19:06 <Ookook>: "Then we could arrange an even bigger fight."
19:06 <Gromit>: "I volunteer Alan, due to the similarity and all."
19:07 <Ookook>: "I possess training in persuasion."
19:07 <Ookook>: "and diplomacy"
19:08 <Gromit>: "...Okay, the tiny monkey can talk to the giant pig creatures."
19:08 <Victor>: I was going to wait for introductions, if we're playing them out, to see about this, but in light of what this first assignment entails it actually comes into play now
19:08 <Victor>: Your characters might already know me, by reputation. You can decide based on how aware they are of ongoings in the generally surrounding areas.
19:08 <Victor>: If they're not majorly disconnected from the community they'd likely have heard at least in passing of a "resident monster hunter" that kind of thing probably gets around I imagine.
19:09 <Victor>: That may go for the villagers as well
19:09 <Gromit>: I know a few monster hunters. Different ones are still alive every week.
19:09 <Ookook>: "Tiny monkey is master of talking to giant pig creatures."
19:10 <Victor>: "You've done it before?"
19:10 <Ookook>: "I persuaded the court to hire me, pigs must be easier."
19:10 Alan looks inside the warehouse
19:11 <Tikvah_GMing>: The warehouse is dark, but you can see that about half of it is stacked full of wood. The other half has blankets, lamps and valuables scattered around the floor.
19:11 <Gromit>: "Okay, as the resident genius, I propose that the monkey tries to talk to the pig monsters, and while they're eating him we stab them in the back."
19:12 <Victor>: "That plan has merit."
19:12 <Victor>: "If we equal or outnumber them."
19:12 <Victor>: "But we don't know that we do."
19:12 Alan is slightly tempted by the valuables
19:12 <Tikvah_GMing>: Do you want to wait at the village until nightfall?
19:13 <Victor>: How long is that?
19:13 <Tikvah_GMing>: About three hours.
19:13 <Ookook>: I want to wait until night fall.
19:13 <Alan>: Can we arm the villagers?
19:13 <Victor>: "We should try tracking them to their lair. If they attack at night they likely sleep by day."
19:13 <Gromit>: "You're a monster hunter. I'm sure you can handle two or three pigs all by yourself."
19:14 <Victor>: I read if that was mockery/disdain/etc or just teasing
19:15 <Ookook>: "Besides, the pigs may leave without a fight."
19:15 <Gromit>: Equal parts of distain and genuine expectation of performance.
19:15 <Victor>: I don't respond
19:15 <Gromit>: Okay.
19:15 Gromit looks around for cover near the warehouse.
19:16 <Tikvah_GMing>: While you are talking, Finn goes to sleep on a pile of hay.
19:16 <Tikvah_GMing>: It is about 200 feet from the warehouse to the woods, and 20 feet to the nearest house.
19:16 Victor tries to track the tracks back
19:17 Ookook waits outside near a tree that is easy to climb
19:17 <Tikvah_GMing>: The road between the houses is 10 feet wide.
19:17 <Gromit>: How slanty/high are the roofs?
19:17 <Tikvah_GMing>: The roofs are mildly slanted, but can be stood on without trouble.
19:18 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, roll a tracking check.
19:18 <Victor>: How tall?
19:18 <Tikvah_GMing>: About 6 feet from the edge of the roof to the ground.
19:18 <Ookook>: Are there any trees inside the village?
19:18 <Victor>: !roll d20
19:18 <Dicebot>: Victor: 9
19:18 <Tikvah_GMing>: No, there are not.
19:19 <Ookook>: If I wait by a tree could the monster miss me?
19:19 Alan climbs onto the warehouse roof
19:19 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, the horse tracks continue down the road as far as you can see.
19:19 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, roll a climbing check.
19:19 <Ookook>: Or will I be clearly visible?
19:19 <Victor>: We didn't find monster tracks?
19:20 <Tikvah_GMing>: No.
19:20 <Alan>: Is that a speed check?
19:20 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.
19:20 Gromit gets a ladder and climbs the sane way.
19:20 <Alan>: !roll d20 1 effort
19:20 <Dicebot>: Alan, 1 effort: 14
19:20 <Gromit>: And to be clear, warehouse roof.
19:20 <Ookook>: Wait does that mean that the monsters might not be pigs?
19:20 <Gromit>: I rolled really high on that fur test.
19:20 <Ookook>: Good point
19:21 <Gromit>: "The sooner we meet them the sooner we'll know for sure."
19:21 <Victor>: Is there a barn or something with a lot of hay in it?
19:21 <Ookook>: Anyhow, our plan is species independent.
19:22 <Ookook>: (I'm ready to time skip to night, personally.)
19:22 <Tikvah_GMing>: The warehouse roof is a bit higher than the others, but you barely manage to scramble up.
19:22 <Alan>: We might ought to give some thought to setting a trap
19:22 <Tikvah_GMing>: There are barns with hay in them.
19:22 <Gromit>: Okay, make sure the plan is clear, where is everyone positioned, Victor are your teleport points set up?
19:22 <Victor>: Working on it
19:22 <Victor>: Does it have a closing door?
19:23 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes, but the door has large crack that you can stick your hand through.
19:23 Victor goes in there and sticks a marked bolt in the far wall
19:23 Victor tosses a bolt up to Gromit to stick in the roof
19:23 <Ookook>: plan as I understand it. "I try to convince the monsters to leave though diplomacy. If that fails, I climb the tree, while the monsters try to eat me, you kill the monsters."
19:24 <Tikvah_GMing>: Ookook, if you want to find a tree, you must go to the forest.
19:24 <Ookook>: I should be standing near to the warehouse shouldn't I.
19:24 <Alan>: Depending on their numbers
19:24 <Ookook>: Otherwise you can't swing in and save me.
19:24 <Alan>: Again, can we arm the Villagers?
19:24 <Ookook>: Do we have arms?
19:24 <Gromit>: "How about you climb the warehouse instead, so we all fit and can jump down or shoot down at them?"
19:24 <Alan>: Ooo
19:25 <Tikvah_GMing>: The villagers do not look to be in fighting shape.
19:25 <Tikvah_GMing>: None of them want to talk to you either.
19:25 <Alan>: All the same, ookook should make an attempt to convince them to help
19:25 <Ookook>: How about I wait at the back of the warehouse.
19:25 Victor climbs onto a house on either side of the road and puts a bolt in each roof
19:26 <Victor>: Not across from each other, one further down the road
19:26 <Tikvah_GMing>: Noted.
19:27 <Victor>: How far to the forest?
19:27 <Tikvah_GMing>: 200 feet
19:27 <Victor>: From every house?
19:28 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.
19:28 <Ookook>: It would be hard to convince the villagers to attack at the right time.
19:28 <Victor>: Is there a wrong time?
19:28 <Ookook>: Because we would need them to wait until after the diplomacy failed.
19:28 <Gromit>: "I don't want to deal with civilian casualties."
19:28 <Ookook>: Otherwise, we would be committing a grave crime.
19:29 Victor puts a marked bolt in the closest tree at the edge of the forest
19:29 <Alan>: Love how no one is willing to fight for their own village
19:29 <Victor>: I was just thinking that as well
19:29 <Gromit>: They're villagers, they'll be level two or three at best.
19:30 <Ookook>: We don't want to ruin the reputation of the great Drindall.
19:30 <Victor>: Is the Drindall great?
19:31 <Gromit>: "He's paying us. His greatness is subjectively important."
19:31 <Ookook>: I think I will wait as far as possible from the door of the warehouse, but still near the road.
19:31 <Alan>: But Victor and I are on the roof of the warehouse
19:31 <Victor>: I'm not yet
19:31 <Ookook>: That is why I want to be near the warehouse.
19:31 <Gromit>: Victor can be anywhere though.
19:32 <Ookook>: But I want to be far from the warehouse door, so that we could use it in an emergency.
19:32 <Gromit>: Ah.
19:32 <Tikvah_GMing>: The road runs north to south, with the warehouse on the northern end. What side do you want the forest arrow on?
19:33 <Victor>: I want it on the west side, looking along the road toward the warehouse
19:33 <Victor>: Across from the house I marked on that side of the road
19:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: So on the nearest tree, but by the road?
19:34 <Victor>: A tree that would be in range to go to from that roof
19:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: OK, I have it marked.
19:34 <Victor>: Wait
19:35 <Victor>: Are all trees not part of the forest?
19:35 <Ookook>: Aren't all trees part of the forest?
19:35 <Ookook>: Because there are no tree inside the village.
19:35 <Victor>: That's what I'm making sure
19:35 <Tikvah_GMing>: There are no trees besides the forest.
19:35 <Gromit>: It's a logging village, my impression is that they've murdered every tree outwards in a circular pattern.
19:36 <Alan>: Fast forward to nightfall?
19:36 <Ookook>: I'm ready
19:36 <Gromit>: Okay. Let's do this.
19:37 Gromit makes sure Finn is caught up on the plan and awake.
19:37 <Victor>: I was just confused by her asking for clarification of "nearest"
19:38 <Victor>: If it's just the forest out there, they should all be the same distance away
19:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: The sun is setting. The villagers lock themselves into the warehouse.
19:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: Where do you station yourselves?
19:39 <Ookook>: If I cast a tripping spell, will I have to skip a turn before talking to the monsters?
19:39 <Ookook>: The tripping would be so that I could hear them coming.
19:39 <Alan>: Still on the warehouse roof
19:39 <Gromit>: Warehouse roof.
19:39 <Tikvah_GMing>: You want to lower their stealth?
19:39 <Ookook>: Yes.
19:39 <Gromit>: You're smiting the enemy stealth?
19:40 <Tikvah_GMing>: If you care to remember, the villagers describe them as "Shrieking"
19:40 <Ookook>: oh.
19:40 <Ookook>: That doesn't sound like orcs to me.
19:40 <Gromit>: Beiber Fangirls.
19:40 <Tikvah_GMing>: Also, if you want to wait until they are within 50 feet.
19:40 <Ookook>: Nevermind then
19:40 <Victor>: I need to know what is in range of what
19:40 <Victor>: If they aren't all of each other
19:40 <Victor>: I wanted the houses along the road in range of the warehouse
19:41 <Tikvah_GMing>: OK.
19:41 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn decides to join you guys on the roof.
19:41 <Gromit>: Woo. Roof party.
19:41 <Victor>: Where is that barn?
19:41 <Tikvah_GMing>: North east corner of the village.
19:42 <Victor>: Warehouse side?
19:42 <Gromit>: That would be...rear left?
19:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: The warehouse is in the north.
19:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.

19:46 <Tikvah_GMing>: One of the creatures seems very large.
19:46 <Tikvah_GMing>: You see some trees swaying.
19:46 <Gromit>: Oh boy.
19:47 <Ookook>: I'm beginning to think that we may have made a mistake in our detective work...
19:47 <Ookook>: Unless they are very very big pigs.
19:47 <Ookook>: Or pigs riding on the backs of elephants.
19:48 <Gromit>: We found them. That was the plan, right?
19:48 <Ookook>: Orcs might ride on elephants.
19:48 <Ookook>: They must be meat eaters because the body is gone.
19:48 <Alan>: Zombie pigmen?
19:49 <Ookook>: Or just creepy taxidermists.
19:49 <Tikvah_GMing>: You see 4 smaller shapes emerge from the trees, followed by one the size of Aakon's house.
19:49 <Gromit>: !!!
19:49 <Tikvah_GMing>: Roll Perception.
19:49 <Gromit>: I get the big one.

19:49 <Ookook>: !roll d20
19:49 <Dicebot>: Ookook: 8
19:49 <Ookook>: Is Aakon's house still around?
19:49 <Ookook>: Or did they steal it?

19:50 <Dicebot>: Alan, specialized: 17
19:50 <Tikvah_GMing>: It was still there last time you checked.
19:50 <Ookook>: Can I see it from where I am standing?
19:51 <Tikvah_GMing>: Two of the smaller shapes are bear-sized brutes covered in long, shaggy hair. Long, gleaming tusks stick from their mouths. They shuffle slowly on all-fours, their small red eyes focused on the ground before them.
19:51 <Tikvah_GMing>: The other two are child sized creatures with a patch of porcupine quills sticking from their back. They have a monkey-like build, with sharp claws and a long, hairless tail. Every so often one of them emits a shrill shriek that is repeated by the others.
19:52 <Tikvah_GMing>: The large one is a slimy thing as tall as a house, that drags itself along by its tentacles. A colossal eyeball rests in the centre, flicking from side to side blankly. Everywhere it goes, it leaves a thick trail of slime.
19:52 <Tikvah_GMing>: And on that note, everyone roll a fear check.

19:54 <Gromit>: Victor clearly is the only one who really grasps the situation.
19:54 <Victor>: I've seen enough to know when there's a problem.
19:55 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit and Ookook manage to keep their cool. Everyone else, take defensive actions of fleeing actions.
19:55 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn is also unaffected.
19:56 <Ookook>: Are the porcupines with in yelling distance?
19:56 <Alan>: I'm on a roof. That feels defensive enough =P
19:56 <Victor>: That's what I thought too
19:56 <Victor>: What more can we do than hide on the roof?
19:56 <Gromit>: So we're in combat now? Turn order?
19:56 <Tikvah_GMing>: Roll initiative.
19:56 <Gromit>: !roll d20

19:57 <Gromit>: Well, there is the freeze in fear option.
19:57 <Ookook>: Can I use my small animal asset in initiative?
19:57 <Tikvah_GMing>: No.
19:57 <Alan>: Alright, I freeze
19:58 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, roll initiative.
19:58 <Tikvah_GMing>: The creatures reach the farthest house.
19:59 <Victor>: !roll d20
19:59 <Dicebot>: Victor: 11
19:59 <Victor>: Not can; what more would we feel the need to do I mean
19:59 <Gromit>: Teleport to the highest roof available?
19:59 <Ookook>: Flee in terror?
20:00 <Gromit>: Because I don't think a six foot drop will keep them down.
20:00 <Ookook>: I'm sure they will listen to reasoned diplomacy.
20:00 <Victor>: I thought this was the highest roof
20:01 <Victor>: That's why I'm here
20:01 <Tikvah_GMing>: Turn Order: Finn, Eyeball, Gromit, Bear-pigs, porcupines, Alan, Victor, OokOok
20:02 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn makes no move besides leaning back on the roof to get a better view.
20:02 <Tikvah_GMing>: The Eyeball pulls itself along the houses towards the warehouse.
20:02 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit, your move.
20:03 <Gromit>: I climb up the warehouse roof and lie down so that the peak covers me from the enemy.
20:03 Gromit does that.
20:05 <Tikvah_GMing>: OK.
20:06 <Tikvah_GMing>: The bear-pigs continue towards the warehouse, briefly pausing to sniff Aakon's door. The Porcupines climb the roofs, one on each side of the road.
20:07 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, your move.
20:08 <Alan>: I follow Gromit's example and hide out of sight from the creatures
20:08 <Tikvah_GMing>: OK.
20:08 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, your turn.
20:09 <Victor>: Can I do something?
20:09 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes, you can do something.
20:10 Victor whispers
20:10 <Victor>: "Are we not attacking?"
20:10 <Alan>: "What about the monkey's diplomacy?"
20:11 <Victor>: "Oh right"
20:11 <Tikvah_GMing>: Talking is a free action. Do you want to do anything else?
20:11 <Victor>: I take a bead on a porcupine but hold fire
20:11 <Victor>: Can we hold actions in this system?
20:11 <Alan>: How far apart are the roofs?
20:12 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes, and about 5 feet.
20:12 <Alan>: So easily jumpable
20:12 <Victor>: I hold my attack until we see what Ookook does
20:12 <Tikvah_GMing>: Ookook, your turn.
20:14 Ookook yells "Observe that for all your effort you have not profited very much. Only a single body in several days. You have many large creatures. Perhaps you should target an area will a larger population density and lower defences, or perhaps take up farming. Farming can raise high amounts of meat sustainably without angering the empire. Also, killing people is mean."

20:16 <Victor>: Porcupine on the right
20:17 <Tikvah_GMing>: You hit it. It lets out a shriek.
20:17 <Ookook>: "So the porcupines must be the shriekers."
20:19 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn sighs. "Well that was a touching speech, but I don't think they were listening. The big one's mine!" He lets out a whoop and jumps from the roof towards the creatures.
20:19 <Tikvah_GMing>: The eye pauses in its advance and stares at you.
20:19 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit, your move.
20:20 <Victor>: At who
20:21 <Tikvah_GMing>: All of you on the roof.
20:21 Gromit waits for something to get close enough to jump directly down onto.
20:21 <Ookook>: "So the eye was listening."
20:21 <Tikvah_GMing>: The eye has ears.
20:21 <Ookook>: Hopefully, it was also listening to the message.
20:22 <Gromit>: Well, now it's going to get stabbed in the eye.
20:22 <Tikvah_GMing>: The Bear-Pigs grunt and run towards the warehouse. The Porcupines jump a roof nearer and fling some quills at you.
20:22 <Tikvah_GMing>: Everyone, Dodge.

20:26 <Gromit>: Might unless otherwise specified. Remember to apply armor if you got it.
20:26 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, your turn.
20:28 Alan jumps along the roofs toward the porcupine on the same side of the road
20:28 <Tikvah_GMing>: Are you on the Warehouse roof?
20:29 <Alan>: Yes
20:29 <Tikvah_GMing>: That's a jump of 20 feet.
20:29 <Victor>: Yeah
20:30 <Alan>: Oh?
20:30 <Tikvah_GMing>: Do you still want to attempt?
20:30 <Alan>: I thought the buildings were 5 feet apart?
20:30 <Victor>: The houses are close together - away from the warehouse
20:30 <Tikvah_GMing>: 20 feet from the warehouse to the nearest house, 5 feet between the houses.
20:30 <Alan>: Any hints on how difficult that is?
20:30 <Gromit>: "Eh, you can make it. Give it a go."
20:30 <Alan>: Keep in mind the extra height of the warehouse roof
20:31 <Gromit>: I think it's actually nigh impossible for a baseline human.
20:32 <Tikvah_GMing>: The Olympic record for long jump is 29 feet.
20:32 <Tikvah_GMing>: So unless you are an olympic athlete...
20:32 <Alan>: Alright, well
20:32 <Alan>: I have no range attacks...
20:33 <Victor>: Smart to fight from the roof then
20:33 <Ookook>: You could come join me on the ground.
20:33 <Ookook>: Though I plan to leave soon.
20:33 <Gromit>: You have the garbage standard pistol like the rest of us.
20:33 <Alan>: Can I taunt the porcupine to come to us?
20:33 <Gromit>: But yeah, if the giant eye is busy we can beat these others in a fair fight.
20:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: You could taunt it, but they are coming this way already.
20:34 <Alan>: Okay, I take a shot at it then
20:35 <Alan>: !roll d20
20:35 <Dicebot>: Alan: 14
20:35 <Tikvah_GMing>: Are you shooting at the same one Victor hit?
20:37 <Alan>: Whichever one is on the opposite side
20:37 <Tikvah_GMing>: In any case, you just graze it.
20:36 <Victor>: For curiosity, which marked house is further back from here, left or right?
20:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: Left house is farthest away.
20:38 <Victor>: And the right one is the one on the marked tree side
20:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.
20:38 <Victor>: Great
20:39 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, your turn.

20:41 <Ookook>: I think climbing would be non-combat.
20:41 <Gromit>: He is a creature of cultural dignity.
20:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn has reached the giant slime and stabs a sword into its eye.
20:42 <Victor>: Yay
20:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: It tries to grab him.
20:42 <Victor>: Boo
20:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit, your turn
20:43 <Ookook>: Does it succeed?

20:43 <Tikvah_GMing>: 75 feet.
20:44 <Gromit>: Note. Finn is fast.
20:44 <Gromit>: I run to close distance with the nearest ground opponent.
20:44 Gromit repeats that, but in the right format.

20:46 <Tikvah_GMing>: It runs towards you.
20:46 <Tikvah_GMing>: So does the other one.
20:47 <Tikvah_GMing>: The remaining porcupine flings a handfull of quills at Finn. Some of them hit.
20:47 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan's turn.
20:47 <Alan>: What's near me?
20:48 <Tikvah_GMing>: A porcupine.

20:50 Alan does that

20:51 <Tikvah_GMing>: They are startled to see you.
20:51 <Gromit>: We are overcome with confidence.
20:51 <Gromit>: And soon with bears.
20:52 <Ookook>: "Do you think that I should chase after you or shoot from here until the monsters are close enough to cast debuff dodge?"
20:52 <Gromit>: "Get your monkey powers up here and support us."
20:52 <Tikvah_GMing>: Victor, your turn.
20:52 <Victor>: Is my porcupine dead or just grounded?
20:52 <Tikvah_GMing>: Dead.

20:54 <Victor>: And that's the exact same roll as before
20:54 <Tikvah_GMing>: You hit it. It stumbles and lets out a nasty groan.
20:54 <Victor>: Dead?
20:54 <Tikvah_GMing>: Almost. It won't be doing much.
20:55 <Tikvah_GMing>: Ookook, your turn.
20:55 <Ookook>: If I run to the point where the maximum number of monsters is within 50ft of me, will I be surrounded with monsters?
20:56 Alan keeps reading Ookook as Outlook
20:56 <Ookook>: And will I be near Gromit and Finn?
20:56 <Tikvah_GMing>: No. You will be near Gromit and Alan.
20:56 <Gromit>: If you come up behind us we should be between you and all the monsters thus far.

21:31 <Victor>: I exit the barn
21:31 <Victor>: No
21:31 <Victor>: I bamf back to the warehouse roof
21:32 Alan takes teeth from each of the creatures
21:32 <Alan>: Each of the types, that is
21:32 Victor shoots the other porcupine
21:32 <Tikvah_GMing>: Roll for shooting.
21:32 <Tikvah_GMing>: Gromit, the slime tastes like eyeballs.
21:33 <Gromit>: I'm glad I know this.
21:33 <Gromit>: Also, stop incompentently mangling the prisoner of war.
21:33 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alan, you don't manage to find any teeth in the slime, and if Finn got any loot he's not telling.
21:33 <Victor>: !roll d20 trained
21:33 <Dicebot>: Victor, trained: 3
21:33 <Alan>: I also want to have a closer look at the dead villager's house, see if there's anything special he was trying to protect, or some other reason he stayed behind
21:34 <Ookook>: I play a joyful song on my cymbals.
21:34 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn sheaths his swords and yawns. "Well, now we need to head back before they send a search party for us."
21:35 <Ookook>: Should we take the poisoner of war with us?
21:35 Victor gathers teeth, claws, and quills from each creature
21:35 <Tikvah_GMing>: Alright.
21:35 <Alan>: I want the eye
21:35 <Gromit>: "Why are you collecting all the bits you can't eat?"
21:35 <Victor>: "I always take trophies, son."
21:36 <Victor>: "I'll show you my vampire teeth sometime."
21:36 <Victor>: As I pass by Gromit I say "Four kills. Double what was requested."
21:36 <Gromit>: I am duly impressed.
21:36 <Tikvah_GMing>: See if you can get anyone to help you carry that eye, Alan.
21:36 <Alan>: Also, did I find anything in the dead villager's house?
21:36 <Ookook>: Would playing a song of debuff heaviness help Alan?
21:36 <Ookook>: If heaviness is a skill that is.
21:36 <Gromit>: I don't think it works on dead creatures.
21:37 <Gromit>: There's a spear, but we should probably tear up the floorboards, and then burn it down for good measure.
21:37 <Tikvah_GMing>: Finn cuts short the trophy taking, saying that he wants to get to bed.
21:37 <Gromit>: Could be contaminated. Who knows what awful diseases you could get from touching these things.
21:38 <Ookook>: Be careful not to burn down village while burning down the house.
21:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: "Count Drindall will be worried if we don't make it back tonight."
21:38 <Tikvah_GMing>: The villagers are coming out of the warehouse, and they object to you setting fire to the houses.
21:38 <Gromit>: "Are gigantic eyeball slimes /routine/ around here?"
21:39 <Ookook>: Well the villagers had a armoured house, so it would suggest that they were expecting to be attacked.
21:39 <Tikvah_GMing>: They had a warehouse to keep firewood in.
21:39 <Victor>: "Will there be some payment for this?"
21:39 <Victor>: "Were we here already on retainer?"
21:39 <Tikvah_GMing>: "Yeah, you'll get some pay."
21:39 Victor nods and collects his effects
21:39 <Ookook>: Also, there were no orcs.
21:40 <Victor>: Or pigs...
21:40 <Ookook>: But I suppose the porky pines would taste like pigs.
21:40 <Victor>: Perhaps
21:40 <Tikvah_GMing>: Or the pig-bears.
21:40 <Victor>: Ah
21:41 <Tikvah_GMing>: Well, I guess next week you get to see the castle.
21:41 <Victor>: Good job Tikvah
21:41 <Alan>: I grab a small piece of firewood on my way out
21:42 <Ookook>: Are we done for the night then?
21:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: Yes.
21:42 <Tikvah_GMing>: Everyone gets 2 XP and 1 to give away.
