Also FUCK YEAR DOPPLEGANGER DAMACY

where have you been?

>What does the smell to the left smell like?
It's reminiscent of the snake you've eaten, with a side of decay added.

>where have you been?
Life, busy, etc. Thought I'd be able to run sooner, sorry about that.

>>10369384
Hmm. Hard choice here. I'm going to say, go left and sidle against the nearest wall in the tunnel while constantly keeping an eye on anything that might approach from the path we didn't travel through.

>>10369384
Right. Find chirps.

>>10369384

>Hmm. Hard choice here. I'm going to say, go left and sidle against the nearest wall in the tunnel while constantly keeping an eye on anything that might approach from the path we didn't travel through.
>Right. Find chirps.
Consensus, please?

>move towards it all stealthy reedy the poisoned cross bow bolts
You gave the crossbow to Claire. You've got a longbow now with greater range and damage--but you forgot to keep the string dry, so it's not going to be shooting well. Also, you can't see past 60 feet in this pitch-blackness. Well-wait. You couldn't. Off to the right, a faint burst of blue light appears a ways out, but it was either around a corner or you couldn't adjust to it enough to see what caused it before it was gone.

>>10369619
duck it then we got plenty of hp lets be snekker with the bow find the cherp/light

>>10369687
Is English a second language for you?

I agree with you though, let's go right after the light.

>duck it then we got plenty of hp lets be snekker with the bow find the cherp/light
>I agree with you though, let's go right after the light.

You head off to the right, following the occasional chirp. After a minute and a turn in the tunnel, you spot a large lizard walking on its hind legs. It bolts immediately into a large crack in the wall at your approach. On closer look, the crack must go pretty deep in--you don't see the lizard inside. You might be able to wedge yourself in after it though.

Action?

>>10369619
sneak up on the source of light/chirping. along the wall if possible.

>>10369619
Go right and shield them eyes at the first hint of movement.

>>10369773
can we identify the lizard?

>sneak up on the source of light/chirping. along the wall if possible.
>Go right and shield them eyes at the first hint of movement.

Already done! What now? The crack is high enough up that it's above the chest deep water.

>>10369824
hmm, baaad idea following a creature into its lair, a possibly magical one at that. will only end in suffering.

>>10369773
fire a few arrows into the crack then go in

this is not going to end well

>>10369773
didnt we know what our potions were now?

>>10369773
it's a Shocker Lizard isn't it

>>10369932
if so its multiple shocker lizards

>>10369824
how much would we have to squeeze to get into the crack.

>>10369824
Hightail it to that left tunnel, I don't wanna fuck with no giant lizards, chirping, or blue lights.

>can we identify the lizard?
You haven't seen it before, and your knowledge of creatures is decidedly lacking.

>fire a few arrows into the crack then go in
You fire a few arrows into the crack. Despite the sopping bowstring, they fly straight enough, but you hear them snapping off rock inside. From the sound of it, it must get larger within the crack--but there wasn't anything in the way of the arrows.

>didnt we know what our potions were now?
You do, that slipped by me on the sheet. You have 2 potions, one of strength and one of speed. You gave the other to Claire, but she didn't mention what it was.

>how much would we have to squeeze to get into the crack.
Tight fit at first, but it should get easier, from the sound of the arrows, as you get inside.

In, or not?

>>10369982
I say we go in, arrow knocked.

>>10369982

lets go in but try to be sneaky

>>10370038

It was about a foot tall; not exactly giant.

>lets go in but try to be sneaky
>1d20+5=15 Escape Artist
>1d20+13-2=12 Move Silently
You barely are able to wedge yourself into the crack, but manage somehow. Unfortunately, as you squeeze inside you find the entrance is loose stones in a pile near it--and they slide down in a light clatter when your weight is on them. You slide with them before gaining your feet, and then see what's living inside this narrow cave.

Lizards. At least one is flashing bright blue at any given time. And there are over a dozen of them, all looking at you.

Action?

>>10370152
fuck me i knew it

>>10370152
fuck a dozen Shocker Lizards

>>10370152
Oh dear god, meta-knowledge tells me to run. in game knowledge says SHOOTING LIGHTNING/LIGHTNING AURA , I WANT THAT.

>>10370152
how far away are those lizards?

>>10370228
Lethal Shock (Su)

Whenever two or more shocker lizards are within 20 feet of each other, they can work together to create a lethal shock. This effect has a radius of 20 feet, centered on any one contributing lizard. The shock deals 2d8 points of electricity damage for each lizard contributing to it, to a maximum of 12d8. A Reflex save (DC 10 + number of lizards contributing) reduces the damage by half.

> wait, maybe we can lure one away eat it, then skitter off.
First we have to get out. If a lure doesn't work, I say we use the alcohol flasks on them and watch them fry themselves.

>how far away are those lizards?
The closest is twenty feet, more or less; the farthest is forty feet away--this cave is too narrow for bunching up. The one nearest you is hopping nervously, so that amount changes with each passing moment.

They continue to eye you nervously, the nearest one continuing to hop. You dart forward suddenly, teeth and claws poised to strike. You're speeding toward your prey when a massive blue flash filling the small tunnel nearly blinds you, and you feel a terrible numbing sensation through your very bones. The smell of burning hair fills the air of the cramped space.

How are they positioned? Any we could melee (read:NOM) without being flanked?

IF they move to us, scramble to the mouth of the cave, pick 'em off one at a time if they persue. We can't afford to be flanked

They could still kill us if they swarm and bite, you guys know. Yeah, +3 to hit and 1d4 damage isn't that impressive, but I doubt we'll get more than another round or two while they figure out that we're immune now.

Seeing the lack of a shocking success, the lizards try to flee to the back of the cave. You grab another one, who bites you in the process. Ow, little fucker. His flesh just about heals the damage. His brother finishes the job, with you grabbing more carefully. Then the rest of his family starts healing what they caused, and giving you all sorts of goodies in the process. Your skin is getting a bit bluer in color, judging from the bit of light you can see it in. You feel a faint spark behind your eyes--in fact, you've got a lot of static on you, and there's a faint pop every so often as you discharge a bit of extra electricity.

Too much of a hassle.

Lethal shock is not something we'll likely ever use anyway. We'll do more damage with our bite than with a shock, even if partnered up with a stupid lizard.

>1d20+0=15
Lots of lizard crap. Now that you have a chance to breathe... it stinks in here. It's a small, tight crack of a cave that was used by the lizards as a home because it was safe and dry. It doesn't go very far in.

>Eat

You feel bad about wasting arrows, as it takes 3 before the lizard stops moving, and only one is reusable afterward. Damn lizards.

You quietly scoot along the ceiling toward that smell, faster than you did before, but with a bit more noise. Noise caused by the occasional snap, crackle, and pop that you seem unable to avoid making.

You pass the spot you entered the second level and go down a tunnel for several hundred more feet, the water level constantly rising as the tunnel lowers, and the smell growing worse and worse. The water is now right below you, and--
>1d20+0=3 Search
You're flung forward as a concealed net gets released and falls down, catching your upper body and pulling it under, before pulling tight against the underwater bottom of the tunnel.

climb the wall and shock the water to hopefully stun them while we get height.

>>10371949
Listen check to see if anyone is coming to check on the nettrap.

If yes,
Hide and wait to unleash a surprise leap+bite+dagger combo.

If no,
Jump back on the ceiling and inspect how the net trap was tripped. You might be able to watch for further traps easier if you watch where you put your hands/feet.

>>10372005
We're not hiding after falling, though, we're hiding after rising from the bottom of the water. They probably lost track of us.

Hide on the ceiling, if we can.. The ceiling is shadowy, right?

Wait... are the shapes IN the water or UNDER it?

Hey TempDM, do you have the special doppelganger rules/stats etc posted somewhere like 1d4chan or something?

>does that mean he's dead or looks like the pic?
You don't know. You could try to find out, at a moment when you're not in peril.

>can we ''Zap MOTHAFUCKA" at will?
Yes.

>I approve of gang leader cat and wish to follow his adventures as well good silver tongued bard
"The Adventures of Morsel, Baddest Cat in 4d6 Blocks."

>stun shock then get ready for combat.
You zap the water, but you doubt you've hit anything--it's close range and you've got to focus it to do more than joybuzz everyone nearby. You've still got your knife in hand.

>Try to hide on ceiling
Confirm? There really isn't anywhere to hide behind, and the approaching shapes seem to indicate you've been noticed, but you can try.

If we've been seen, it's too late to hide. Do we fight better in water or on land?

>>10372188

juice them harder this time, then ready for combat

>Hey TempDM, do you have the special doppelganger rules/stats etc posted somewhere like 1d4chan or something?
Nope. Someone's been badgering me to post a cleaned up version of the quest though, I suppose I could get around to it and include the rules there. I check this email every so often, if you're wanting to run a game of it shoot me an email and I'll set you up.

>>10372188
lets stab at things

>>10372188
get away from the deep water and fight them.

Also, thanks for another round of Doppelganger, TempDM. This shit be awesome.

"The Adventures of Morsel, Baddest Cat in 4d6 Blocks."

this needs to be our next quest

>>10372188
We can get on the ceiling, then use it as a boost to jump off and onto the approaching faggot that caught us in his trap.


Save lightening shock as a trump card. No one suspects you have it.

Get on ceiling, then when the person(s) appear, do the leap+bite+dagger combo on him. If there's another person, quickly leap to him as soon as you bite the first guy. Aim for the neck(s).

>>10371949
drop into the water, grab opponents limbs/whatever, use that to focus for the electric shocks. and then ZAP MOTHERFUCKER.

also, we should create something that could harness our energy. perhaps, if we have a thin wire of tungsten encased in a sealed glass container...
nah, that's a crazy idea.

>>10372258
KittenQuest?

Retreat. The shapes were underwater and the ceiling we're on is just above the water line. Very bad position for a fight against several gators.

>>10372276
approved

>>10372286

These prob'ly aint gators, son...

It's better to get on the ceiling since they'll probably be looking down into the water at what they caught, not up.

>>10372318
>You saw several large shapes heading this way quickly.
Anything _in numbers_ that either set the trap or is used by 3rd party to attack trapped creatures is a problem for us.

Is there any way that we can improve our hit die type? d6 is pretty terrible, but apparently eating things can't do it- those shocker lizards were running on d10's.

Retreat back to Lizard Den, it will create a bottleneck so we only have to fight them one at a time.

>>10372286
Water is 5 feet deep. Cave is 10 feet above that.

>"The Adventures of Morsel, Baddest Cat in 4d6 Blocks."

Go ahead. Not going to be running it myself though.

Thanks for playing, this quest has awesome players who make things good.

>If we've been seen, it's too late to hide. Do we fight better in water or on land?
Land, but better when not clinging to the ceiling.

>We can get on the ceiling, then use it as a boost to jump off and onto the approaching faggot that caught us in his trap.
>Retreat.
>Shock advised, charging.
>Stay hidden
Vote.

All righto, the ceiling isn't very high, we don't know what we're facing, cept they're big and there's several of them. How fast are they moving? Can we make it back to a dry-ish surface? I have a feeling we'll be at a disadvantage in the water...

Retreat. We can't make things worse by trying to even out the odds in our favor, right?

>>10372405
How many are coming by the looks/sound of it?

If it's one,
>We can get on the ceiling, then use it as a boost to jump off and onto the approaching faggot that caught us in his trap.
If it's two,
>do the leap+bite+dagger combo on him. If there's another person, quickly leap to him as soon as you bite the first guy. Aim for the neck(s).
If it's three+,
>Shock advised, charging
while on the ceiling, then do the first choice, using a poison bite one one person if necessary.

>Water is 5 feet deep. Cave is 10 feet above that.
Not right here. The water is much higher here, maybe 3-4 feet below the ceiling. Also, the area stinks of shit and salt.

>Is there any way that we can improve our hit die type? d6 is pretty terrible, but apparently eating things can't do it- those shocker lizards were running on d10's.
Stay tuned...

>>10372421
Yes, retreat to favorable terrain

hm. wait for a moment until they're still and then dive in. death from the skies!

use it as a boost to jump off and onto the approaching faggot that caught us in his trap.

>How many are coming by the looks/sound of it?
3+, but it's hard to tell. The water is really murky here.

>How fast are they moving? Can we make it back to a dry-ish surface?
Very fast, twice as fast as a man walks. You're on the dry ceiling now.

>>10372518
>3+, but it's hard to tell. The water is really murky here.

Well, fuck.
Retreat then.
If we can outrun them by scurrying away on the ceiling.
Avoid the water, though.

Retreat to Lizard Den

>FLEE
You scurry away quick as you can, back the way you came. The shapes are faster, cruising underwater as fast as you do on land. Before the ceiling can start to rise and get you to a safe height, you see a pair of tridents thrust out of the water from behind you.

Do you really think that we have the accuracy to be able to hit a moving target that precisely? And what makes you think that those tridents are even metal? They might be a non-conductive material, like coral or such, which would make sense if they're constantly used under water in a world without stainless steel.

As you break away, the tridents stab at you once more, but you take only a glancing hit from one, and then you are GONE, scuttling almost as fast as you can go normally on a nice flat surface.

As you make your way toward the lizard cave, you notice the shapes stop following abruptly. The smell is getting a lot better here.

>>10372904
GTFO back to the surface if possible.

Request clarification:
With the 2d8 (reflex halves) lightning attack, can we use that alongside the longsword + bite + claw combo?
Longsword does 1d8+4 with double damage 10% of the time.
Bite does 1d6+4
Claw does ... well it does pissweak damage but it's something.

>>10372950

I think they're also trying to avoid getting discovered, and we've gotten too fast for them to even have a chance of catching us, so they decided to cut losses. We just sort of stumbled onto their village/outpost.

>>10372937
+1.

>>10372950
See
>>10372468
>>10369165
>>10369384

>>10372988
I think our standard attack should be Lightning (2d8 with reflex halves) or Longsword (1d8+4 with double damage 10% of the time, vs. AC).
A full attack ... I dunno. Bite, Sword, and Lightning shock?

>>10372931
We could try going after gators again, but I wouldn't risk it down here.
I think a better idea is to go back to the surface, enter the woods, kill some things and get our HP back, then come back down here and kill every single one of those fuckers. No one hurts us and gets away with it.

>>10369384
>It's reminiscent of the snake you've eaten, with a side of decay added.
Naga. If we were healthier, we could take 'em.

I thought we were leaving town with Claire after this quick foray into the sewers...

>>10373040
FULL NATURAL ATTACKS COCKHEAD.
THAT MEANS LIGHTNING, 2 CLAWS AND A BITE. EVERY TIME. ALL THE TIME.
Now let's go find something with big claws and find one of those goddamn pounce+rake cats. Anyone seen any bears around here?

>>10371305
>Climb +6 (plus climb speed) (can use Dex, +5)
I don't think so tim.
>A shocker lizard has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always choose to take 10 on a Climb check, even if rushed or threatened.

>>10373085
yeah, we're pissing off.
Hiring a hunter to find us some cats and bears, murdering the hunter, then leaving.

>With the 2d8 (reflex halves) lightning attack, can we use that alongside the longsword + bite + claw combo?
No. Standard action, and it has a special note of once per round maximum.

>Longsword does 1d8+4 with double damage 10% of the time.
>Bite does 1d6+4
>Claw does ... well it does pissweak damage but it's something.
Bite/Claw/Claw routine is pretty standard fare. Multiple attacks mean multiple chances to hit. Claw alone gets full strength bonus to hit--it's halved as part of attack routine. Longsword can also be used two handedly.
I'm sure you've noticed I don't bother with crit confirming because it slows things down, is less fun to see unconfirmed crits, and I tend to forget about crit confirmation anyways. So yeah, 10% double damage is correct.

>Get out of the sewers?
You leap up to the first level of the sewers again, mindful of gators, and--HEY. AWESOME. It's a body! Dead and floating along, looks like you were the first to find it. Some guy, nothing special about him by the looks of it. Couple stab wounds, looks to be what killed him. Eat up?

>>10373154
I thought we have ta kill it ourselves?

>>10373154
How long has he been dead? Body bloated?
Listen check to see if what stabbed him is still around.
Check his clothes too.

Then eat.

>>10373154
Remember the guy's appearance first.
Then eat him.

>I don't think so tim.
+8 racial bonus to climb is part of having a Climb speed. Hence: (plus climb speed) in the stat block.

>>10373154

Dead body? SCORE!

Look around (listen, spot), and eat up on an all clear.

>>10373154
fuck yea eat him

>>10373154
Hey, this is a chance for us to see if we have to kill our prey ourselves, or if it'll work as long as their essence isn't sucked out.

>>10373154
Move closer to the entrance while eating, not so close as to expose yourself to wandering strangers, but distanced enough so dem tridents are far from our behinds.

>>10373154
What are the differences between a two-handed longsword attack, and a 1h longsword + 1h claw attack?

Search him. The folks who dumped his body probably got everything valuable/useful, but still...

>>10373222
The dopple devours a medium-size creature in 6 seconds (!)

>I thought we have to kill it ourselves?
Actually, you still aren't sure if you need to kill it personally, eat it quickly after it dies, or if there's something else at work.

>How long has he been dead? Body bloated?
Recent, from the looks of it. A few hours, perhaps.
>Listen check to see if what stabbed him is still around.
>1d20+13=28
Seems clear.
>Check his clothes too.
Cheap, a bit ratty.
>Remember the guy's appearance first.
You note it duly.

>Then eat him.
Current HP: 9/24, surely something someone else killed within a few hours might do it...

...

...or maybe not. Still a decent snack.

Continue out of the sewers?

>>10373236
I lol when I think about the bodies the doppleganger hasn't eaten yet.
"Did we search the guy for jewelry?"
"FUCK NO EAT EVERYTHING OM NOM NOM"
The doppleganger must have half a jewelry store in his stomach by now.

>>10373271
Did he have anything of value on him?

>>10373271
Where was he stabbed?

>>10373271
Aye. A gator could still put the hurting on us, and maybe kill us if the gator gets a surprise round.
Let's derp on over to the Temple of whatever to grab some heals.

>>10373299
Do note that we'll have to Bullshit up some reason why Derrin (the guard whose appearance we ate) can't talk.
Maybe write a note like
"Defended town from shocker lizards."
"Got hit in the throat. Hurts to talk."
"Please heal me."

>>10373278
Eh, prob'ly helps ta grind what goes in.
>>10373299

>>10373330
we seem to be hit in the throat a lot.

didn't we use that as an excuse last time?

>Search him. The folks who dumped his body probably got everything valuable/useful, but still...
>Did he have anything of value on him?
Nothing really of value. A few copper and a silver piece, a building key, a garrote and a cheap club. Take it?

>Where was he stabbed?
Stomach and kidney, one stab each.

Where to first once out of sewers?

>>10373350
Yes.

Just leave with Claire.
We can eat some rats.

>>10373337

>>10373368
This.
>>10373375
I kinda doubt that'd cut it...

>>10373362
Yeah, why not? we can dump the useless junk later.
Maybe next session your first post should be asking the players what loot to dump. ;)

>>10373362

Take all of it, the garrote should be particularly useful.

>>10373409
So, how do we raise our HP, then?

>>10373362
Take the key.

Is the club somehow better than the cricket bat?

Leaving the city means we will have to get pass near some guards.
I don't like it.
Not with this appearence...

>>10373421
Dopple doesn't have proficiency and it doesn't hurt as much as a longsword does. 'sides, we can get Improved Grab from a gator in here, meaning that the Garrote's automatic pinning attack isn't useful.

>>10373454
Good point.
We should go to the church to get healed, then go kill some guy and take his appearance.

>>10373454
Hey, can we blend appearances? Like, eat somebody and sorta "halfway change" our appearance? Sort of like slowly changing appearance based on the animals we eat?

>>10373454
We could so totally just go over the walls.
And people will be like "dude did Derrin just climb up a sheer wall then take a running jump into the darkness"

>>10373407

>The dopple devours a medium-size creature in 6 seconds (!)
Someone's got a good memory.

I still think, however, that we're not entirely done with this city - we could at least get some Hunters to track us down some large predatory animals or get Bite and Imp Grab from gators before we piss off completely.

We've really overstayed our welcome in this town. People have been disappearing, a group of adventurers got wiped out, 2 stables and a menagerie got hit.

We don't want any other companions. The only reason we're with Claire is 1. she knows our secret and 2. is okay with it, due to her sudden shift in alignment.

>Get Claire right away, eat rats to heal
Heading back to the temple is just too suspicious so soon; you head to the inn Claire said she'd be at. You find her taking a catnap over her spellbook near the front, with a large female innkeeper keeping an eye on her. She tenses up when you wake her with a little jolt of residual static, but relaxes when she realizes it's you. "Guess what happened on the way. Actually, don't. I'll tell you in the room." She waves to the innkeeper as you head to the room.

I have the best players. The BEST. You're awesome and that's hilarious.

(cont)
"Oh, first, here's these," Claire says, handing you a bundle of arrows. "You don't want to know how much they cost."

"Okay. Whew... okay. So here's what happened while you were down in the sewers--by the way, I can take the stench for a night if need be, but please tell me that's not going to be a regular occurrence now. Anyways, I'm cutting through an alley on my way back from buying the arrows, and some sleazeball tries to mug me. Before I'd cast a spell and run faster than he could ever hope to catch me, but I won't have anything prepared until tomorrow. So I'm reaching for money in the purse, and I feel the dagger, and, well... I guess he didn't expect that at all. Probably what saved me, because he just stood there in shock the first time I stabbed him, and I followed it up and--ohjeez,ohjeez. I shouldn't have, I just got so angry, and he shouldn't have grabbed my arm, that was HIS FAULT--

I didn't know what to do, so I shoved his body in the sewers and ran back here. Oh damn, I'd better not go to jail for this...

Ask her if she knew who it was.

alright
Calm her down, tell her that no one will find the body because you disposed of it on her behalf.
Tell her that she did what she had to do, and it's not her fault, self-defense is not a crime.

2 Turn her to the dark side

>Let's see if we can get it to +10 before Tempdm leaves for the night. That way we'll get more bloodquest faster!
Bloodquest wrapped up last night, excellent ending too. (Also, not me running it.) I appreciate the votes, guys. I won't lie, it does get me pumped to run another session when I see that.

>I'm guessing that she knifed a mugger
Oh, you're good.

>TempDM + connection = DD tomorrow?
Maybe. Tomorrow or Thursday if I can manage it, and I think I can.

>>10374012

Tell her "thanks for the meal, I caught it downstream."
Naw, just kidding. Alignment shift seems to have took, though. This the end of the session?

>Oh damn, I'd better not go to jail for this...
Don't worry, you're not going to jail...

>>10374101
we just ate that body

>>10374054

Give her a high five, also tell her that we ate that guy and we found out that we have to kill our prey personally to get traits.

>>10374012
The evidence has been disposed of!
*burp*
Hug claire. Or, at the very least, nod in claire's direction.

>>10374128
Yeah, but she doesn't need to know.

HA! Found it! Last session, someone had a comment quite pertinent to this:

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/10212117/#10213611

>>10374109
Well. Let's get it written, get it done, and wait for the next session in 1-3 days.

>>10374109
DM, if you would be so kind as to autopilot the doppleganger eating birds and rats and such, it would be much bueno.
And that's all for today.

DO NOT tell Claire you ate him. She's obviously in shock, do not make her feel worse. Just tell her that she did what she had to, he could have been a rapist or something.

>>10374292
Why not?
Dude, she knows we eat people, and it'd take a load off her mind to know that the body is gone.

>>10374314
even if it was dead, we ate another human.

>>10374314
She knows we do, but telling her we ate him won't make her feel any better. Corrupting good people is a subtle process...

>>10374341
Well yes but it was a dead human.
It's not like we killed it.
We were just like "oh hey food nom nom nom"

>Give her a high 5
>Calm her down
>Tell her that she did what she had to do, and it's not her fault, self-defense is not a crime. She did what she had to do. The man deserved it.
>Tell her we dealt with the body
>"I'd hug you reassuringly, but you probably wouldn't appreciate the smell. But you did well, Claire. And you're not going to go to jail. Actually, I've been thinking that we might want to leave town soon."

A high five and some reassuring words later, Claire is much more calm. "Leave town? Sure, it's not like I have anything holding me down here. Any plans on where to go? Not like those money sucking jerks at the library need my money. I'd like if we found a place I could copy these scroll spells into my spellbook soon, though, this will help me out a lot.

"Also, um, do you have any idea what happened to Morsel?"

TUNE IN NEXT TIME:
DOPPLEGANGER DAMACY: THE SEARCH FOR MORSEL
>Okay maybe not, probably not
>You could though
>It's entirely up to you guys
>But it would distract you from the omming and nomming

>Implying that claire is a good person

>DO NOT tell Claire you ate him. She's obviously in shock, do not make her feel worse. Just tell her that she did what she had to, he could have been a rapist or something.
You just said you "dealt with it." She didn't ask.

>DM, if you would be so kind as to autopilot the doppleganger eating birds and rats and such, it would be much bueno.
You want me also autopiloting going to the river and scrubbing off the sewer filth? I think your odds of running into a certain something you haven't encountered yet (and to be fair, don't know about just yet) are quite low, after all.

As always, thanks for running TempDM.

>>10374363
We've redefined "good" as "beneficial to us".

>>10374360
Didn't eat morsel.
Didn't see morsel's body.
Didn't hear morsel when we checked the apartment on the night you were kidnapped (my memory is maximum)
Morsel is most likely living as a stray somewhere.
However, I don't like Morsel's prospects of staying alive much longer. All the Rats and Birds that morsel could eat seem to have ... disappeared mysteriously *burp*.

>>10374426
>Inb4 angry Pelorites figured you out with divination spells.

>>10374426
Immediately stop Autopilot if the Doppleganger encounters something beyond the generic "eat bird, eat rat, wash clothes".

>>10374360
Isn't there a spell for finding lost objects? Would it work on a small animal?

>>10374426
Thanks TempDM!!!

>>10374465
There's always divination for that, would either need a moderately powerful cleric or a wizard.

Well, good night. Thanks TempDM. As always, you're an awesome sumbitch. Now I just need to be on tomorrow/thursday evening.

>>10374426
I wonder what it is.
Borat's wife?
Morsel is a shapeshifting were-kitten?
A Town guard patrol?
Bluffy the Shapeshifter hunter?
A pelorite or cuthbert thingy?
An envoy of undead from the lich kingdom?
Wonder what it could be.

>>10374513
Billy-Bob the half-orc farmer.
He wants you off his land.
Billy-Bob is a level 12 barbarian.

>>10374513
If it's Borat's wife, we're fucked.

>>10374360
I'll damn well lend my votes to finding him...

I liked that cat

>As always, thanks for running TempDM.
>Thanks TempDM!!!
>Well, good night. Thanks TempDM. As always, you're an awesome sumbitch. Now I just need to be on tomorrow/thursday evening.
As always, thanks for playing. You guys rock and make it a lot of fun on my end.

>Inb4 angry Pelorites figured you out with divination spells.
>inb4 worse

>Immediately stop Autopilot if the Doppleganger encounters something beyond the generic "eat bird, eat rat, wash clothes".
Your luck holds out. You manage all these things with no interference of any sort, and in a timely manner too. Current HP: 24/24. Current odor: minimal.

>>10374513
Morsel is a shapeshifter that is working for the town guard in her human form.
She is also borat's wife.

>>10374437
>>my memory is maximum

We need you with us always.

>>10374579
And yes that does mean we bought borat's wife.
Why do you think he was selling all those ducklings?
They were his CHILDREN.

>>10374599
I lol'd

>>10374553
>24/24
isn't our max 28? :S

I wanna go back to the sewers. LOOK at all that good stuff!

http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/sahuagin.htm

>>10374643
You mean the organized and intelligent foes that out-maneuver us?

>>10374643
>speak with sharks... FUCK YEAH!!!

>isn't our max 28? :S
I knew there was something fishy going on, but was getting too tired to quickly spot it. Duly fixed, and thank you.

Current HP: 28/28

we should go trolling for muggers.

>>10374579
with his sidekick Tidbit?

>>10374704
Time for little boy voice?

>>10374673
That's for another day. This day is over, isn't it?
Well, that's for Tempdm to decide, next thread.
Bye team! ^_^

>>10374673
Doesn't mean they will every time.
Multiattack, FAST swim speed... SPEAK WITH SHARKS

>>10374704
In the next city rite?

I'd say the doppleganger was about 9/10 fucked there.
If we had avoided the shock lizards, maybe 2/10 or 3/10 fucked. But we were so close to dying it's not friggin' funny.

>>10374744
4 arms bro.
Imagine.
4 arms.
Rake (from a cat)
Pounce (from a cat)
And really damaging claws (from something with really damaging claws).
That's what, 8 claws (and 2 bites) in one round, from a charge?

can we get claire to identify that feather?

>>10374790
But noooo, off to a new town unless people see the light.

>>10374643

>>10374802
why leave town?

>>10374753
We've come close a few times now. We live life on the edge.

>>10374809
i don't know if we are using non-SRD sources for this quest

>>10374821
Several people are pushing for it because we've made a big enough presence to get noticed. Sewers won out, but it was more of a "sewers first, THEN we leave."

>>10374849
I think we are but it's not frequent that we do.

>>10374698
So, about that changing HD type...?

>>10374849
point...

>>10374821
because we want to go and nom a certain creature so we can fight people with our BEAR HANDS!!!

plus a bunch of stuff like killing zombies and lycanthropes.

>>10374829
truth, we should perhaps return with a careful eye to traps and surprises.

>>10374858
but we don't know that for sure. we should spend some time fishing for gossip or look at the adventure/job board

We need to get Clare a new place to brew potions, for one thing. That haste saved our asses. Also, we could seriously buff up our bite attack with another gator, and they have a number of other traits we could use. We could even take them down without much risk, plinking away from the sewer roof.

OH, also, we NEED a waterproof quiver and sheath for the bow.

Additionally, I'd like to see if we could do some stalking/nomming of adepts at the library, maybe thieves prior to that to boost our chances. We should also try to alert our badass blood bodysnatching buddy prior to skipping town - a powerful ally, and one we cannot afford to lose.

Most of all, THANKS TO TEMPDM FOR BEING AWESOME, THIS QUEST IS AWESOME, AND YOU SHOULD FEEL AWESOME

>>10374858
>>10374916
plus no one knows what we are or what we look like.

>>10374961
>Additionally, I'd like to see if we could do some stalking/nomming of adepts at the library, maybe thieves prior to that to boost our chances. We should also try to alert our badass blood bodysnatching buddy prior to skipping town - a powerful ally, and one we cannot afford to lose.

and how would you propose we do this?
assuming he's changed shapes by now?

>>10374961
also try to alert our badass blood bodysnatching buddy prior to skipping town - a powerful ally, and one we cannot afford to lose.

I vote for killing him as soon as we get strong enough

>>10374961
our so called "ally" is just waiting for our body to be powerful before he tries to take it. this is because he gets all of the skills of his Current body.

TempDM, if you're still here, and we're still on, I say we go get a waterproof quiver and bow sheath now. Also some camping/travel/survival miscellany, all in a pack. Keep it in our room in the inn, packed and ready to go the moment we need to, IF we need to.

For the record, I think we're pretty far ahead of anything that would come after us, and we've got a good chance to NOM and grow a lot more before we really need to leave.

Also, I'd like to see if we can sniff out Morsel for Clare. Clare approves +30

>>10375026
how do you suppose we do this either?

>>10375010
Use the Bodysnatcher clarion horn of course!
Failing that, scream about free ideal bodies as loudly as you can.

>>10375050
>Also, I'd like to see if we can sniff out Morsel for Clare. Clare approves +30

"since you got me that wonderful tidbit and left it in the sewer for me I found you this morsel in exchange"
(kiss on forehead, then present kitten)

>>10374858
I'm not sure what the general suspicion level of the populace towards the dopple is, but we've killed a fair few people (a noble, a baker's family, derrin the town guard, a pack of adventurers, 2 thieves, numerous hobos, borat, 3 stable workers, numerous stable animals). In one week. with the same motherfuckin' MO. I don't think anyone has conclusively ID'd -us- as the murderer, but they know a murderer is out there.

Right now, we can be tracked by 4 things:
1. Scent - doppleganger is apparently trackable by this, even if his appearance changes.
2. Abilities - the townspeople know, or at least SUSPECT, that the doppleganger is a strong, fast-moving, stealthy motherfucker. Zipping around at WARP DOPPLEGANGER will draw them onto us.
3. Missing persons - The townspeople will know that Derrin is acting very strangely lately. While they don't know that we can change appearance at-will, they WILL track down an individual appearance as it goes missing. That will lead them to us.
4. Stolen goods -
Stolen goods -
Stolen goods -
Stolen goods -
Are now FORFEIT.
You. You you violate. The law.
Seriously, we're carrying the goods of the deceased. :P

>>10375010
He seemed to be able to sense us, if I remember right. Maybe the flip side can work? Or we try to find him before he snatches a new body?

>>10375118

Excellent points, all. Even so, I want to make one more gator hunting expedition, if we can. After that maybe see if we can find some criminal element to NOM (good skills, potentially sneak attack, appearance, not to mention no one will care if some thieves vanish). Once that's done, see if we can ambush an adept or two on the way home from the library in the middle of the night.

And then we really gotta go.

>>10375118
Also, Darrin and Borat were spoted hanging out with Claire. oh shi-

>>10375036
"Claire will try to kill us if she finds out about us!"
"Claire is probably turning us in right now!"
"Claire is going to poison us!"

Sound familiar? It's the same ultra-suspicious crowd, who got proven wrong hard.

>>10375050
He reads the archived thread for stuff that happened after he left. He's said so a couple times and last thread we started with a whole bunch of stuff that people wanted to do when the session was done.

>>10375209
delicious sneak attack

questions to ask.

how does roguish sneak attack digest?

why, do we want to leave town, as in WHERE ARE WE GOING?
I vote we go to the library and take a look at a map.
that way when the villagers chase us out with pitchforks we have an idea of where to go.

>>10375257

Ah, excellent. In that case, any chance we can purchase a healing potion with some of that leftover cash? I don't know how much we'll have left after the waterproof quiver/bow sheath, but we could definitely use another panic button.

Also, consider this my formal vote for a gator nomming expedition, followed by criminal element nomming, followed by scoping out the library.

>>10375118
hard prove that the goods are stolen.
from the comments by the priest Derrin sounded proactive about targeting the criminal element so his disappearance would probably be written out as revenge.
our smell changes slowly as we eat things.
and it's hard to track missing person reports when your sewer is full of monsters.

>>10375321
and buying/stealing a map.

>>10375321
i wonder if we can eat books

>>10375303
>>10375347
One more formal request - during the shopping trip for the waterproof bow sheath/quiver and potentially a potion, let's see if we can't stop by the library and get a look at some maps and history books. If we have to pay a nominal donation for the privilege, I say do so without hesitation. The knowledge we gain is more than worth it.

I'd like to vote that we nom some random guy and take his voice, cause a deeper voice would be useful. And then we should find and nom a city guard who seems to be fairly experienced. We take his KNOWLEDGE, things like names and faces of known criminals and the places they frequent. Then we eat many thieves and gain many thief skills and maybe a new not so well known appearence.

>>10375303
Probably the same way that martial weapon proficiency does.

>>10375414
not quite the same thing though...

every other level or so a rogue gets an extra 1d6 added.
do we have to get a 1d6 to get a 2d6
or can we eat a 4d6 kind of thief and get 4d6?

>>10375498
Oh, I see. I emailed him about getting rules a while ago, and I think he's only doing that for casting, at the original quest DM's insistence.

>>10375498
i think it's the later option

>>10375532
we probably couldn't kill a 4d6 kind of thief anyway...

>>10375573
I dunno, if we strike from the shadows and get lucky...

Clearly what we need are decent /tg/ drawfag arts so we can get a real bonus instead of these +1s for Paint scribbles and photoshops.

>>10375700

Or, failing that, everyone who enjoys participating create at least a rudimentary mspaint drawing.


Bonuses soon, /tg/'er

>>10375700
perhaps. what about falling back on a the springheel jack damacy method.

whats the penalty on move silently while running?

maximum run up at the guy aiming to impale with the longsword.

>>10375776
It'd be easier for us fans to hit up a drawthread with a request or two.

>>10375832
that almost seems like cheating though...

Yeah, it's gonna be damn hard to pin -us- down as responsible for the murders. But they know a murderer exists. I second eating a guard captain or a counter-spy and obtaining their knowledge, so that we may gain the appearance of some random dumbass nobody knows. That way people won't track us from the missing person angle.
As for scent - right now the only things in the city capable of tracking us by that are guard dogs, and while guards will obviously investigate any murder, they WON'T go into dangerous areas to follow a scent trail, and we delve into those areas all the fucking time. As long as we keep moving, keep hunting, and NEVER stay in one place for too long, we can avoid being tracked by scent.
Being tracked by sold goods is easy enough - either sell them to the criminal underworld or change appearances after selling them.

Abilities - that's one of the key ones. If anyone sees us moving or killing and manages to survive, they will know what we look like at the time. We've already been seen ONCE exiting the brothel, possibly TWICE leaving the second stable, and who knows what else has seen us jumping about like commander motherfucking keen on a goddamn pogostick.
Once they realise the same set of abilities transfers from person to person, they'll know what we are, and they'll warn other towns about it.

We don't want that to happen.
So here's the plan:
Eat an experienced guard or a counter-spy. Take their knowledge.
Eat some recluse who hardly anybody knows - someone who won't be noticed. Take his appearance.
Sell all the looted shit to the criminal underworld who won't ask any questions.
Don't let anyone see us using our godly abilities and survive to tell the tale.
Go on frequent trips in places that it would be too dangerous to take a tracking dog.

>>10375856
Not if you get the drawfag interested in the quest.

The real question is, what scene/person/thing would you want drawfagged?

>>10375118
>>10375952
I like how much thought you put in.

>>10375983
a man with claws and fangs poncing on a 15 foot sewer gator.

>>10375952
now i know that TempDM has said that this isn't fetish Quest but so far we have always looked male and mostly ate men, but a female shape could be vary useful for throwing people off and a female voice would increase our deception options.

>>10375952
keep in mind that we've changed appearance a few times since the brothel

I agree with everything else though.

I only support staying in town if we can NOM all of the known criminals in the city instead.

Guys, did we ever find out what that magical feather in the sewers was?

>>10376250
nope

>>10376250

I'm hoping we can retcon to having picked up that feather, and see if Clare can get a read on it. Failing that, maybe take it over to the library for potential identification.

Oh yeah.. another final note. We could really use to consume another boar or four.

>>10376450

>>10374753
If we had attacked instead of running away we would have had a chance, I think. Our full attack now looks like +6 longsword/+1 claw/+1 bite/DC 14 Stunning Shock (since Stunning Shock doesn't use an action). Once we ate one and got multiattack, things would just keep getting better. At the very least, we'll be doing 1d8 damage every round, and if they fail their save, odds are pretty good that Sahuagin will be going down.
