I cast Minor Illusion, creating the image and sound of a ravenous beast behind the brigand.

Well I do believe I am going to do a running dropkick directly at the dude that's sassing us

I draw my twin longswords and enter the fray.

<The brigand rolls an Intelligence save to determine whether or not he can see through your illusion. Since he's a brigand he's very dumb, I'm going to say his Intelligence Modifier is 0 and your Intelligence modifier is 5. The base is 8. So the brigand must roll higher than 8+5=13. He needs 14+.

The brigand waves his hand through your illusion, making it disappear. "Your puny tricks won't work on my big brain, you snobby little elf!"

He looks very big and muscular and smelly and stoopid. He has a bunch of clothes but they are very revealing and they reveal his hairy muscular chest. He has a big club in one of his hands and a scimitar in the other.

<I am going to do an athletics roll. Since you were an acrobat, I'm going to say your Athletics modifier is at 6. Since the Brigand is an experienced bandit, I'm going to say his is 3. So he needs to roll higher than 8 + 3. Rolled 11>

DacMougall lunged into the stinky Highwayman, dropping him on the ground. He drops both of his weapons and is how helpless. (You will get sneak and flank attack bonuses upon attacking him)

"Does anyone else hear that?" Worryingly spoke the Tiefling.

More bandits popped out of the woods, vengeful for the death of their leader. 10 more bandits have joined the fray.

"Wait so the beast wasn't there? huh. That would of been convenient" mutters Xana.

I ignite my hands preparing to shoot dope fire balls at them, and jump to the further back of the bandits I can see to try and flank

I'm rolling an Acrobatics check for the jumping part. Your dex is 14 so I'm gonna say Acrobatics Bonus of 4. Rolled 11 + 4 = 15.

In theory all of us could be Mafia doing this ITT for the sole purpose to try to not look aligned. So all of this is part of the Mafia game, if we take it outside the Mafia thread then we are "bursting the bubble" of the game. So we definitely shouldn't!

HOWEVER

I will say that I am very interested in running a dnd-esque campaign in the near future. I have 0 experience, so perfect for other newbies like me who don't have too high expectations on proper gameplay and just looking for some fun!

After this game I will think about it, if I wanna commit, I probably will, and I will let everyone know and we can play! I want to design it so that it can have unlimited number of participants, I want everyone to be able to play!

I jump to the present page and there's an ongoing D&D campaign.

Sloonei wrote: ↑Mon Feb 08, 2021 11:46 pm This is twice already that you’ve responded to token SlooneiProds by telling me essentially to knock it off. That’s not always an unfair response. My questions can be overbearing, and sometimes that’s partially the point. It was the first time. But this time I feel like I am asking a pair of straightforward and reasonable questions as part of an early dialogue in the game. I do not think my questions are vague at all, and I am not trying to be difficult.

You said you think Mac looks different than he usually does. I don’t see it and am asking for elaboration. Maybe there’s a linguistic divide here. I am struggling with your assertion that Mac “isn’t trying to be taken seriously” as part of your accusation. I see the behavior you are pointing to but I don’t see A) why it’s unusual for him, B) why he would need to be trying to be taken seriously as town, or C) what precisely it means if he is not trying to be taken seriously. There are lots of motives for floating less-than-serious reads on Day 0/1 of a game, for instance.
yea well i responded already in small chunks of posts after this, i pinged u
And I’m addressing part of that response here. This is not me trying to grill you, it is me trying to better understand your point of view.

Also Mac, I really wanna say something. I'm really proud that I managed to kept my cool earlier when you were scumreading me. I think I've struggled alot with not being able to stay calm, and I have had many games where I just get pissy at people for scumreading me and I got towncleared due to it and that's just such abuse, it wasn't fair for the mafia team of all of those town games of mine. I feel really guilty for that.

I think I'm growing up as a person and I'm starting to be in more control of my emotions and I think (I hope) that I managed to handle your scumread adequately and I was respectful, maybe not perfect, but I think definitely an improvement compared to how I was before!

(Please don't townread this post, not meant to be as an AtE, you know I can easily write this post as Mafia etc. But yeah! I just wanted to share how happy I am for myself!)

I was really thinking Howard the Duck. Why is it that sucks solving mysteries is such a prevalant thing in media? You don't get that as much in real life.

See that's what i thought at first, but not quite sure tbh. JJJ keeps attacking me, and he's a mod. I don't think mods are supposed to be participating unless they were also given roles this game.

Maybe they're the multiball?

I don't want to consider nuts as veggies, so you'd still be #TeamAnimal in this case. Plus, the Veggies would be the mafia in this case, so there'd need to be less of them and more of us anyway.
