leave look for smaller form

wait what are the limits to size and form?

wait wats the guy doing as of now? still talking?

>>14221552
>>14221492
read the lat stuff but need to know these

>>14221552
Yeah, thread ended more or less mid-conversation.
>>14221492
Off the top of my head, here's your limits that you folks've discovered to shape so far:
Humanoid shape.
Nothing smaller than Small.
Have to eat something to take it's shape, shape is slowly warped by other things you eat.

I don't want to have to resort to begging.

Doppelganger bootleg, fuck yeah!

>>14221984
leave, what does the house look like? a roof? something to ambush off of maybe? and whats in the street when im out

Well lets leave for now, make a mental note to come back here tomorrow (He can lead us to stables? All you can eat horse buffet). For now, lets see if we can't go find a pet store/a pound. We could also look for an orphanage, and check ourself in. Though I'm not sure how valuable a bunch of kids and their caretakers will be.

>>14222036
>>14222012
do both, thyre both mostly mental things. no need to pick one. do look for orphanage though

>>14222012
>>14222036
>Feeling suddenly weary, you decide to take your leave. You mutter something about tomorrow and vacate the elf's hut, stepping out into the cold night air. Some instinct bids you to do a bit of reconnaissance around the hut. It's small and square, made of cheap deteriorating reddish-brown mud bricks. The moon above is just a sliver, yielding barely enough light even for your eyes. You feel tired.

What do you do?

>>14222116
Pet store/pound. Also look for an orphanage on the way. Could be a good place to hide afterward.

>>14222116

We hunt. We consume. We grow.

hmm any other forms available, if not find shelter. preferably roof if i can do it stealthily

Why do we want to go to an orphanage? There are plenty of bums and animals on the street that we can gain more from than children.

>>14222157

Hmm, nighttime seems like the preferable timeto hunt, but if we're tired, it would be a good idea to find a place to sleep.

>>14222165
tired but not too hungry so i like this, but only if it looks doable and quiet

>>14222214
meant this
>>14222157

>>14222165
Because killing hordes of children is more interesting than killing ANOTHER hobo.

>The hunger in your belly overrides the exhaustion. Time to hunt. You skulk through the streets, looking for easy prey. You see light coming from around a streetcorner.

Investigate?

>>14222252
yes

>>14222252
Investigate stealthily.

also, fuck yeah doppleganger bootleg

:icemou caribou

>>14222252
Investigate with all the stealth that a child predator can muster.

>>14222252
investigate stealthily, hand on knife underneath rags

>>14222233

Well instead of killing hobos at all, we could just go outside the city and hunt for animals to build up our strength more. Once we get better stats, feats, and maybe some nifty attacks or something, we'll be better equipped to actually take on done adventurers and get even stronger.

Out of the city, we also don't have to worry about being stealthy and getting caught or someone noticing the sharp decline in the homeless population suddenly.

>>14222252

Metal Gear it up and investigate stealthily.

Quietly peeking around the corner, you see a group of men and dwarves escorting a pig-drawn wagon down the street towards you. The men are armed with swords, meanwhile the dwarves carry fearsome looking halberds. On the cart, another pair stand carrying crossbows on either side of a small chest. All of them are wearing scale mail.
Follow or avoid?

Shoot, forgot to greentext it. Herp.

>>14222341
avoid and then stalk

>>14222341
Follow

Didn't we see something like this in the first thread?

>>14222341
Avoid, leave town for forest outside. Keep your eyes open for snacks on the way there.

>>14222372

Voting for this. This cart is too heavily armed for us to risk attacking. There's easier prey outside the city's walls.

>>14222372
wait, werent we in a deserty area

>>14222341

Carefully follow. Whatever they're escorting looks important.

>>14222372
>>14222434

Ah, we're in a desert you guys. I'm sure their might be something outside the walls of the city we could eat. But it'd probably be dangerous.

>>14222352
>>14222372
>>14222434
>The halberds remind you of the guard's spears from earlier. It's not worth dealing with those again.
>You sneak away, leaving them unaware of your presence. You get the urge to see what lies outside the city gates.
>While en route, you smell something delicious.
Investigate or continue?

>>14222498

Investigate, stealthily again.

>>14222498
investi-fucking-gate

>>14222493

I'd rather take my chances with some scorpions than a city guard.

>>14222521
I wasn't suggesting we hunt them, just that we see what the fuck they were doing.

>>14222556

Sorry, I was referring to the dangers of continuing to hunt in the city, not necessarily to that specific encounter.

investigate smell

>>14222512
>>14222515

>You follow your nose down a sidestreet, and up to a shuttered window. You hear something snoring within.

What do you do?

does the widow have glass?

>>14222595
Climb up and take a look.

Smash in the window and jump in

>>14222595

Open window as quietly as possible, see who's sleeping.

Also look around to see if anyone else is around, just to be cautious.

>>14222624
realy need to know this

>>14222639
this

>>14222625
>>14222639

>You glance up and down the sidestreet. Everything seems quiet. You carefully ease the shutters open. You see what appears to be a small child, wrapped in several layers of clothing that obscure their features, lying on a mat in an otherwise empty room. They let out another snore as you watch.

>>14222728

Something about this seems suspicious... Can we Use Scent to see if this checks out? Make sure that's an actual child, or if we can detect anything that would compromise us around.

scent plox

smell, if safe sneak inside and look around. if safe again its killing time

>>14222781
Put our nose to good use. Scent.

>>14222774
>>14222781
>You sniff the air. The smell is overpoweringly strong, and definitely comes from the small bundled person on the mat. You can't detect any other fresh smells in the small room, nor anything seeping out from under the closed door. The bundle at your feet coughs.

>>14222897
this take form and sleep in its bed

>>14222876

I don't like this, it's too easy. I suspect a trap personally, but in-character...

In character we have 19 goddamn Wisdom, if it's a trap, we should be suspicious right now, right?

>>14222897

This, but minus the whisper. Silently kill it.

>>14222978
we were and we didnt see a damn thing wrong so eat sleep and be merry

>>14222999

Fine then. Guess I'm just paranoid tonight. Kill it and consume.

>>14222995
but it adds character, and if it wakes up the knife is already coming for its throat. no screams

I think it may be diseased. We should unwrap it after killling it but before eating it

>>14223023
sure just do it already

>>14223023

Would something diseased smell this delicious?

Besides, I believe we have a super-metabolism or something that lets us chow down on a whole person with no ill effects. It'd have to be one hell of a disease to get to us.

Saving Throw see text; Spell Resistance no
Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for
practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell enables you to perform
simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have
severe limitations. A prestidigitation can slowly lift 1 pound of
material. It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each
round. It can chill, warm, or flavor 1 pound of nonliving material.
It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters.
Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude
and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are
extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as tools, weapons,
or spell components. Finally, prestidigitation lacks the power to
duplicate any other spell effects. Any actual change to an object
(beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.

Darkvision. I fail to see the usefulness of simple parlor tricks in helping us get our grub on.

>>14223275
Look around the room, is it a one room apartment. Can the door be locked from the inside?

>>14223275

Find someplace safe to get some sleep.

Also, out of curiosity, what do we look like now? Are we still ratboy, or did our latest meal change any of that appearance?

>>14223282
we did just get our grub on. whos up for becomming the dead baby thing and sleeping in its bed?

>>14223282

Nuts, a little too slow.

>>14223313

We can't take their appearance if we've assumed a different trait from them.

And not all of these kills will be so easy. We need to look for stuff that will a. kill things better, or b. help us be sneakier

should we sleep? we already killed the person living here, so we cant sneak in and kill ourselves.... unless its a paradox. close window SLEEP

Just a Bite - you can take a creature's ability or appearance with by ingesting 1 pound of it's flesh or blood. This can only be done once per creature, prevents assimilate, and it takes ten minutes for the stolen quality to manifest.

Knowledge of the city and it's people and some knowledge of a portion of the underworld

wait, quick search through house for clothes, money, food, etc. before we meet with elf

>You check the many pockets of the small creature's clothing. You find another key, a few silvers and coppers, and a strange lens. Hey, these clothes are about your size, really. Too bad they're bloody. Inside the room, there's a small locked casket next to the mat you didn't notice before and a puzzle box on top of it.

try keys

>>14223839

examine the puzzle-box curiously.

>>14223902
and try keys. smash open if keys fail miserably

>>14223919
What if it's trapped?

>>14223930
then itll be a smashed trap i suppose. and would a man who sleeps with an open window trap a casket? actually what kind of lock?

>>14223919

I concur. Loot the building for all it's worth.

>>14223878
>>14223919
>The second key opens the casket easily. Inside is a pair of darkened eyeglasses and some more silver. Strange.

I'd like to take a moment to remind you you're currently wearing rags.

>>14223986
i remember thats why i added clothes when i said what to look for in loot. could use prestidigitation or fountain outside to clean the bloodied clothes. but looking poor can have its advantages at times. still examine glasses and also the strange lens. ill leave the clothes up to someone else

>>14223986

examine the furnishings of the room, are there any curtains or simple bedsheets that can be used to cover the body and head?

Anything will do to draw attention away from our appearance.

Are there more cloths?

We need to acquire a adult form to keep in backup.
Plus more we need more kills and maybe some weapon prof. We could find some poor elf. Infact look for demihumans for dark vision and maybe see if there is any way we could get flight.

guys the clothes are the simple thing. just wash the bloody clothes in the fountain. focus on what we have already. i say was clothes in fountain. then pocket items. last try to solve puzzle box on way to elfs house, but Only if its small enough to fit in the pocket

>>14224047
Current Gear:
Butcher Knife
Gear:
Street-Walker's Rags

25 pieces of copper
12 pieces of silver

>>14224099
Shoot, forgot puzzle box.

>>14224098
wow i like this

>>14224098

I would have thought it would be harder than that to get the blood out.

I think we should look at the puzzle box before we leave - whatever is inside it may be quite valuable if it's stored in such a device.

>>14224109
and the strange lens

>>14224068
He's right, We should find some weak elf or dwarf and gain the elven proficiencies. We should also wash the clothes.

>>14224068
>>14224139
we already have plans to meet up with an elf this morning. take a crack at the puzzle box then to the elf i say

>>14224139
3rding this.
We should also try to get a animal with natural armor that could save us in a pinch.

>>14221427
WAAAAAAAAAAAGH DA QUEST ORK IS HERE!
Someone give me a tl;dr

>>14224170

Can't assume the form of beasts unfortunately.

Second these and then see the elf
>>14224068
>>14224098
what about the weird lens on the body the glasses were in the chest right?

>>14224190
Killed someone who was asleep. Currently deciding what to do with his stuff.

>>14224191
Eat the animal, you dumbass

>>14224213
>>14223581

so A)was collar B) try puzzle box C) examine glasses and lens on way to ELF, WHO IS WAITING FOR US

>>14224236
>>14224236
do this

What limits are there on stored forms do we only have the one, can we make more, if we make a now one do we lose the old, do we need to take the ability again for another form?

>>14224098
>>14224132
>>14224159
>You surreptitiously wash the bloodied clothes in the atrium fountain, then put on the outfit. You then grab the puzzle box, and set out to the slums. The atrium is open to the street, with a sleeping guard at the entrance. The midmorning sun is hot but not yet unbearable, and the streets are alive. Children run past, their mother's watching them while doing household tasks. As you get into the slums, the buildings begin to look almost wardamaged. Hmm. The hut is empty when you get there. The elf probably lit out at sunrise. His stuff is still there though.

>>14224236

I just thought - if we wander into the elf's home with a fresh set of clothes and a flashy pair of new glasses won't that look kinda suspicious?

What if this elf decides we are a threat after all?

we have the lens and glasses to right!

go inside, try puzzle box

Lets go for a walk about town, from what I can tell our clothing and slightly new form will let us blend in.
GO GO GGO WAAGH

>>14224291

This.

If we can't figure it out and the elf doesn't return we'll do what the quest ork said.

>>14224291
this then try on glasses before our stroll around town

Sorry for the delay, I need to wake myself up a bit.
>You decide to take a crack at opening the puzzle box while you're alone.
Disable Device cannot be used as an untrained skill.
>You unfortunately fail to do much over the course of an hour. You pull out the lens and toy around with it for a bit. Glancing through it, things look... odd. And headachey. Ouch. Maybe mess with that later.
What do you do?

I think we need to get ahold of some sort of weapons, maybe some form of paralyzing poison if we can get in touch with the right people - that'll make taking on a new form much easier.

Go for a walk about town. See if we can glean rumors or find employment to earn coin and perhaps find a way to get someone to eat. Gaining skills is well and good guys but we need a finer disguise soon else we wont get any better quality meals.

>>14224343
we have a knife, but poison is deffinetly good. i have an idea about the glasses. how about a stroll? see whats around town

>>14224362

Maybe one of the local guards?

We recall a guard was sleeping rather peacefully back at the atrium, though that was an hour ago.

We need to see the elf

>>14224293
>>14224304
>>14224320
>You decide to leave; you can always come back later. Why not find a meal or two now? After a few minutes wandering back into the city center, you find yourself in the marketplace. It's starting to really heat up again, and people are closing up their stalls.
Anybody wants to buy shit?

>>14224381

I actually agree. Didn't the elf supposedly say he could put us in touch with the underworld element of the city?

If anyone knows how to obtain some poison, they will...

>>14224396
leather armor, and maybe a cat?

>>14224381
>>14224401
we missed the opprotunity for now but we can always visit him at his house in a bit when hes home. maybe catch him tired after a long day of work?

>>14224414

> armour.

We're not strong enough for that kind of combat at the minute, we should probably wait until we have a new, more powerful form before thinking about armour.

>>14224396

> EXAMINE THE STALLS.

>>14224396
Find a DIFFERENT animal dealer from the one we used last session and purchase a pig. Cmon guys I can't be the only one interested in what pigs will give us. Also ask some shopkeepers if they need us (we are still a scruffy looking kid right?) to run errands for them for pittance.

>>14224449

Sure, but we should at least check out what's on offer before we miss our chance.

>>14224449
>Pig out
DO EET

>>14224444
Aside from a few food vendors, there's a clothing merchant, a man selling lucky jewelry, and a woman selling odd ends.

>>14224464
We can do that too. Then buy the pig. (MOSTLY I WANT PIG)

>>14224436
idk we have decent stats for a rouge or monk. i still say we eat a cat. possible bonus to climb and stealth. ok examin stalls

>>14224467

Approach the jeweler and ask him about the strange lens we found.

wait lets go befriend a kid and "get invited to diner" im sure we could attempt a good ambush on the mother or father and kill the family. better form, and im not feeling the stalls

>>14224470

I have a funny feeling the pig will increase our intelligence...

>>14224491
ive had bad experiences doing this, but this

Eat pig or see elf.
We do not want armor yet stuf's expensive and we would stand way out plus that money is better spent on food.
we should also by a whole corps from a butcher to test how that works something small like a chicken.

>>14224494

> stage a good ambush.

Which is precisely what we need the poison for.

:3

>>14224414
>>14224449
>>14224465
>You see no animal vendors out. Perhaps they leave for shade sooner to avoid losses?

>>14224491
>You sidle up to the vendor and hand him the lens. He shudders as your hand grazes his. "What does this do?"
>He looks at you, slightly confused. "How should I know? I don't mess with the affairs of your people."

>>14224513
no real food problem yet, kinda just eat someone. but yea no need to spend money yet to the elf after playing with kids?

>>14224520

He knows.

>>14224520
Never mind then good sir, we thank thee for your time. Can you please direct me to the nearest tavern where I may find a meal or a job? Perhaps a cheep room where I can find a equally cheep buxom wench for the night.

>>14224534

Lol. Maybe i over-reacted a little bit.

Time to go hunting pig or chicken or cat or w/e i guess.

Or maybe we could try stealing some gems from his stall... we DO have a high dex...

>>14224520
look around anxiously. whisper "i have important news to tell you. it cant be overheard"

>>14224534
no just a racist basterd who thinks were an elf, a gnome(thats what we ate and are dressed as), or a ware rat. Probably number two can i get a knowledge check on this info and local race stuff i mean local should help. Right?

>>14224520
act like he knows we're a demon
say something guttural with apostrophes instead of vowels to scare or confuse him

>>14224556
i want to see were this is going

>>14224569

Good point.

Assuming the identity of a merchant of jewelry DOES sound like a remarkably profitable endeavour.

Beats my suggestion of simply stealing gems from him by miles.

>>14224604
persue

>>14224604

Lolwut.

Grab the gems before any of the street urchins get there first!

aww yea! we are fucking awsome guys. random message? and demon voice? and it works?
everythingwentbetterthanexpected.jpg
loot and search stall!

What do we think we just did and what about that knowledge check? Pleas.

lol wtf/ get gems and loot stall, then off to the elfs to see if hes home

>>14224616

I retract my previous suggestion and support this one.

We cannot allow our existence to become public knowledge.

>>14224643
true, chase him into back alley, and i suppose we're ready for a late lunch

knoladge is us following would cause a stir dont do it otherwise so totally follow and eat that dude

Retrive goods. Follow man discretely.

>>14224654

> not forgetting the fact the fellow escaped with most of the loot anyway of course.

If he does run down an alley btw can we have a stealth check to hide in the shadows?

knoladge if,**

sorry my bad

>>14224680

Lol.

We're going to assume his identity anyway lol.

This might make our meeting with the elf tricky - how many meals will this be that since we last met him, one, two?

>>14224673
kill the man, stealthily, in my head he looks like the cabage man from avatar. must have his body and voice

>>14224680
you still have a lot more mistakes to correct

>>14224691

All right, these posts are getting a little confusing.

>You scoop a few charms into your pockets, thinking rapidly. You have no idea what is going on. You decide to pursue the man and find out.
>He runs as fast as he can with a box in his arms and a sack over his shoulder. You gain on him quickly. When he sees you behind him, he tries to cut onto a sidestreet. Dead end.
> He turns around and begins to beg. "Please. Please, unfate me. Don't mix me in your schemes, gnome." He falls to his knees, dropping his wares. "I have a family, an honest living! For the sake of my children, let me live a peaceful life!"

>>14224707

Isn't that just for a minute though, purely to be used for emergencies?

>>14224691

we can be rat boy any time we levled up and gained shapsift memory remember?

also my 2 questions still stand what do we know about the race situation and about our new shapeshift memory?

>>14224716
no one minute to assume the shape silly
lol captcha: flesh mesup

>>14224713
kill and eat
eat and kill
you're highly suspicious
that means you have highly suspicious guts
kill and eat

>>14224713

He thinks we are a gnome after all - Or perhaps it's merely a bluff?

Hmm.

Ask him "Do you know anything about an elf that lives in the slums?".

We can decide what to do with him momentarily, perhaps we should squeeze him for some information first.

>>14224713
Kill man. Eat man.
Roll dem dice Tolly.

>>14224713
walk up to him slowly "i will have your transgressions forgiven if you kiss my feet and beg forgiveness, and as is customary you must invite me to your home for dinner" approach

>>14224713
Pump him for info first then decide whether to eat him.

>>14224785
wait, wat? i smell shenanigans

>>14224785
this i have an idea were this is going

at OP: we thoght he knew what we were so we were going to eat him now we know were posing as a gnome.

If he is reacting so strongly to the cloths were in why dont we know anything from that whore we ate race tensions like this have to be part of knowledge local.

at everyone
I think we should mumble some more "magic" and say he is free and that he should show more cortice in the future

this is cause i think we were noticed following him

>>14224818

Fair enough.

We can still get SOMETHING out of this though.

>>14224800
>>14224744

oh do these first then maybe what i said after the op responds

>>14224818
fine but if no one is following or watching us i want him dead. why not a quick glance over the shoulders?

>>14224839

it could be to our advantage to leave him alive for now. I think that other fellow might have the right idea.

First i want info on the elf, then i think we should... engratiate ourselves upon his hospitality.

>>14224818
>>14224828
>"Why are you afraid, human?"
>He replies, shaking in fear: "You- your kind, you see the fates. I-I-I do not wish for an exciting life. I am n-n-no hero, no villain. P-Please, unwind me from your plots."
>"Kele'ne. Heve'rset. Gue'sa Tav'ot"
>His eyes grow wider, but he says nothing.
>"Live your life, then. Don't forget this, though."

>>14224785

i dont think we know enough about gnomes to pull this off otherwise id be all for it

>>14224713

*ahem*

"I will not travail upon you so painfully, peddler, if you to exactly as you are told."

"First, There is someone i wish to know about, an elf whom lives in the slums of this city. Answer quickly.".

>>14224887

Blast it. No meal and no information!

Time to find that elf i guess.

>>14224889
what would he have done, insult our "tradition"? no, but whatever

>>14224887
as he passes me, closest he gets, say" sir you forgot this" does he turn around?

>>14224946
Knife in the stomach?

>>14224969
was thinking head but sternum maybe

Stab him as he tries to move past us. Quick kill. Easy meal.

>>14224980
exactly. not as easy as if he is kissing our feet but still not bad

>Without even picking up his wares, he runs for the main street. You snag his kidney with the knife as he passes you. He stumbles and falls, clutching his side. He pulls the knife out of his side. His eyes full of terror, he slits his own throat.

... Audible "Huh" look around, loot and eat i guess... wtf?

>>14225032

Remove clothes. Eat.

Time for a little fast food!

look around, make sure noones watching

>>14225020
Ok we've learned to not fuck with gnomes in this world. We can use this to our advantage, but we should learn more about them unless we want to draw some unwanted attention. But we still have quite a good knickknacks out of this anyways.

>>14225045

p.s; are we gonna be assuming this guy's identity?

we want his clothes mostly intact if so.

"WTF was all that?" grab droped wares eat merchant loot, etc. visit elf

>>14225065
no keep gnome and kid for now. just eat as food

>>14225068

This lol.

>>14225068
agreed

>>14225068
do it may want to end it here or the elfs house for tonight

Choose one:
CHA 15
Knowledge: Local 1 rank
Bluff 2 ranks
Sense Motive 2 ranks
Profession: Charlatan 1 rank
Craft: Junk 2 ranks

we want the eat list before any major decision. plus i think we should take off these cloths maybe even take his form but i for one like rat boy.

so do we want knowledge or bluff
the CHA is only 1 point more and not another plus so...

scratch that i vote Knowledge

CHA 15 or Bluff 2 what ever gives us better bonus's to persuasion and misdirection at this point.

i suppose the +2 cha is tempting. keep ratboy for now so mix gnome and human? eat loot and return to elf

>>14225138

Pity there's nothing there that can help us with the puzzle box.

I think we should go for knowledge or motive.

>>14225210
yea but maybe the elf could help. and as any fighter or barbarian would say "we can always smash it"

For clarification: The EXTRA form you have right now is your ORIGINAL form, which looks like a doppelganger. Your CURRENT form looks like a ratboy. You can replace your EXTRA form with your CURRENT form so as to retain it if you take another shape.

>>14225228

Except we're not a fighter or barbarian, silly.

>>14225138
Appearance, you idiots.
Store a backup appearance for in case Guards aggro us.

then store ratboy take appearance.
ignor my other vote
this ability is now well understood.

>>14225245
well we're not not barbarians or fighters
>>14225247
kid as main flip doppleganger body for mercahnt

Appearance then now I know.

>>14225247

This.

Having a human appearance will also give us a route into the social structure of the city.

Today, the market - tomorrow, the district - by the end of the week, the city!

>You take the face and form of the man, mildy tearing your clothing before you manage to get it off.

What now?

>>14225290
can we get the stat/inventory list please.

lets go to the elves hut. switch into kid before we enter though

>>14225290
Steal his clothes and merchandise derp derp.

>>14225290
>>14225290
wear mans clothes, prestidigitation our clothes clean?

Hm. We have untrained appraise.
Take appearance of merchant, pick up all the various junk, and sell it to whoever the General Goods vendor in this city is. If he asks, tell him we just need a bunch of money quickly and we're willing to sell our stuff cheap.

cange into his cloths take our stuff and climb up to the roofs and then another ally from there i dont know

>>14225290
Also. use Scent to track Pigs, Cats, Rats, or possibly Dogs.

>>14225306
this minus the prestidigitation. cant fix rips or tears

Yes but there's blood from where we stabbed him. Not to mention the tremendous mess we make when we eat

>>14225328
If we REALLY don't know where to go from there Tolly can follow my master plan from last session.
Upon stealing the clothing and merchandise of the man we relocate to another part of the marketplace and sell all of the junk we acquired from him for fast cash, if the vendor asks just say we are closing shop for personal reasons; if they get too suspect thank them for their time and move onto another till its all sold. Next we find a medium-sized bar/hotel with minimal security of the rooms. We spend some time there having drinks and a meal with our newly acquired money and making very good friends with a serving wench before renting a room for the night and requesting she meet us there later. Once she is in our bed lock the door we then continue to find out more about her such as what time she starts work, some personal family details ect ect; then we use a pillow to suffocate her or a cord/rope/strong fabric of some sort to quietly strangle her to death leaving no evidence. We then eat her and take her appearance. Then we then clean the room hide anything we can't carry with us for collection later and proceed to live her life for a few days while we formulate a plan/earn money/make contacts.

Since it's about to get way too hot to hang around outside, now's a good time to:
Switch to ratboy.
Head to the Elf's hut in the slums.
I'm honestly not sure where we're going to find someone with ranks in Disable Device, and someone who can ID items.
If we can't, just sell the relevant items to a merchant.

>>14225414
>I'm honestly not sure where we're going to find someone with ranks in Disable Device, and someone who can ID items.
Ask the elf. He's mixed up in the underworld.

Aagh tired.
>You consider putting on the man's clothing, but... It's just a little bit bloody. By which you mean a lot bloody. Did he really have to kill himself in such a messy way? You shift back into your small form, and take as much of the trinkets as you can fit into the sack. Time to find somebody willing or superstitious enough to buy this worthless junk. Enough memories popped through to give you that knowledge. Maybe you'll go to the elf's hut tonight, pay him a visit.

Alright people, it's been fun, if a little random tonight. I'm on break, so there may be another bootleg tomorrow night.

Questions, comments, concerns?

>>14225438
We only had 4 encounters this session.
That's not very much, don't you think?

>>14225337


>You consider putting on the man's clothing, but... It's just a little bit bloody. By which you mean a lot bloody.

Told you that stuff needed to be cleaned. prestidigitation

>>14225450
It WAS a bit of a slow start, not alot of consesus. That holds things up

DaQuestOrk >>14225391
has the right idea
As to this
>>14225414
Do not sell the magic items

DO NOT SELL THE MAGIC ITEMS

at lest tell we know what they are
also keep the gnome cloths we can so use them later
other than that the sell list is good it gets my vote.

do you guys think we should use the magic to clean now or save it for later like to impress the elf?

>>14225472
Use now. We are kind of bloody. We make a mess when we eat remember.

>>14225472
Clean 'em now.
We need civilian clothes that won't scare the shit out of everyone, AND we don't need to be carrying around bloodied clothes.

so we magic the cloths all clean.

at OP: I think were doing ok if seen better but iv seen much much worse so keep it up oh and sometimes your selecting actions "feels off" but on review seems to check out so I have no clue why so dont know how to fix it.

>>14225510
at BaiZ: I think you're doing pretty good, although I've seen better. I've seen far worse too, though, so keep on going. Your spelling and grammar seem awful, but on review it all seems to check out. So I don't know what it is you need to fix, but keep up the good work!

>>14225533
at Bladed weapons: I think you're doing pretty good, although I've seen Masterwork Broad Swords. I've seen Katanas too, though, so keep on going. Your damage per hit seems awful, but on reviewing your crit chance it all seems to check out. So I don't know what it is we need to houserule, but keep up the good slicing.
