Assimilate (Appearance, special abilities, attributes, skill ranks, and feats are taken from devoured kills. You may only take 1/4 of a person's learned skill ranks through a kill, and only from people with more ranks than you; skill ranks stack.)
Shape Memory (The current form you possess can be imprinted into your memory, allowing you to shift back to it after gaining a new form. This shapeshifting takes one minute.

Can we save more than one form to revert to? Or is it just one at a time?

Picture is what you sort of look like right now: Take away the hat and wrap the scarf around the head and it'd be perfect.

Also, if people could post good picture of middle-eastern cities for me to point out as examples of the city you're in, that'd be awesome.


Finally, Tolly's General Rules:
First choice of action to receive 3 votes, no matter how stupid or suicidal, will be undertaken. Especially retarded choices may receive a "Are you sure?", first.
Addendum: If there just aren't enough posts after about 10 minutes, first to two (or just plain first) decides.

All things are decided by my dice. If something attacks you, and the dice say it crits and nearly kills you, you better get ready to run.

Joke options may be given when I am tired and think they are hilarious. See: Death Blossom. These options are not actually on the table.

Do please enjoy yourselves.

"Well, don't let me get in your way. Of course, I would've made damn sure the guys who worked for me didn't run off with something valuable... but then again, that's just the tracker in me. I'm not some big-time boss who'd rather wait for that kinda news."

>>14243140
I've really got to fix that. Yes, it's one extra form at a time only right now.

>>14243168

>>14243169
>You slide off of the extra stool in the room, and move to slide past the broad man. "Guess I'll be leaving, then."
>The man looks down at you, then back to Gave. "Keeping company with gnomes, eh Gave? Can't find anybody else willing to stand your company?"
>Gave shrugs. "Better than you folks. Can you get this over with? I need to get some sleep."
>You brush by the man into the outside air. From inside the hut, you hear a crashing noise. Sounds like the club smashing into a stool.

What do you do: Leave and hunt? Assist Gave? Other?

>>14243336
Let them fuck each other up, then come in to clean house and eat them both.

rolled 87 = 87

>>14243416
Gonna have to go with this. Pop in when the thug almost done beating him, and sneak attack. Gauge our response to elf guy based on his reaction.

>>14243416
>>14243450
And naturally, we'd go for a sneak attack, presuming the situation was a good one for us. As in, good for us to sneak in and kill fools and eat.

>>14243416
>You wait for a moment. You hear the club smash into multiple objects, a couple yelps of pain, and then silence, punctuated by a gurgle.
>You peer inside. Gave has the man in some sort of lock, cutting off him off from air. The guy's face is livid purple. Just as his eyes start to flutter shut, Gave drops him on the floor.
Stealth check 32
Perception check 16
>Gave, unaware of your continued presence, kneels down next to the man. "Don't worry, I won't tell anybody you were beaten by an elf. Just don't try pull that shit again."
What do you do?

>>14243535
What are the conditions of the two of them? Is the thug unconscious? Or at least unresponsive for the time being? Is Gave's back to us?

If so, sneak attack and slit Gave's throat, then finish off the thug.

Otherwise "rush" in and stab the thug, and when Gave is all, "WHY'D YOU DO THAT!?" Be all, "I thought he was gonna hurt you, lololol."

>>14243535
Go in and see what's up. Offer to take the guy out back or something, and om out of sight. If he asks where you took the body, just tell him that he woke up faster than expected, and he took off.

This has two things going for it-

1) We get to nom a thug

2) Hijinks ensue as Gave gets in trouble for killing a thug

oh shit, he's an adventurer!

>>14243576
Agreed. We shouldnt burn bridges yet, especially since he can bring us to horses to eat.

>>14243576
>>14243602
>You decide to step back in. Gave's head snaps up as you pass through the beads. "I thought you'd left."

"thought I'd stick around, see how thing's went. how did you do that?"

>>14243790
This, then ask if he wants us to help him dispose of the body after he responds.

>>14243790
>>14243815
>You look at the man on the dirt floor, then back to Gave. He seems to be fine. "I thought I'd stick around, you know. See how things went. How did you do that? Is he dead?"

>>14243815
This, dont hurt gave, we need to try and make some friends and gain contacts im thinking.

>He looks down, then says "I've had training. I don't want to talk about it though, only brings more trouble. Can you help me dump this clown outside?"

>>14243855
No we don't. All we need to do is eat everything and everyone until we've gained enough knowledge and power to ascend to godhood.

>>14243880
He's just a means to an end. If he can lead us to more plentiful bounties, why would we kill him now? Especially after seeing what he can do.

>>14243869
Nod, and help him take the guy wherever, Make an excuse to stay there a bit longer as he walks out of sight (Something like "I have to pee"). Then nom. Though it depends a bit on where he dumps the guy.

>>14243904
There's not exactly a run on people to eat. We are in a city after all, and there are bound to be hundreds more just like it all over. And the sooner we eat him, the more powerful we become, and the quicker and easier we can eat others.

Did you forget what we are?

>>14243933
Remember, if we have an ally we have access to all of his abilities, plus an extra possible fighter. If we eat him we have one of his abilities.

>>14243933
Did you forget that he can get us to STABLES? Do you know how much more useful eating five horses that are near-guaranteed kills are than fighting a completely unknown guy who could very well wipe us (And nearly did last time we tried)?

I'm not saying that we should NEVER kill him, but killing him now is just shortsighted.

>>14243965
>>14244012
Did you two forget that you're faggots?

>>14243904
>You look away. "Right then. Want some help dragging him outside?"
>Gave nods at a boot. "Sure. I'll grab his other leg." Between the two of you, you manage to drag the semi-conscious man into a shadowy area where he won't get immediately found and mugged. Gave drops a small coinpurse on the man's body, and sneers. "Here's your interest, asshole." Before you step back inside, you make an excuse about having to relieve yourself. Gave points at another building. "Have at it kid. I'll be inside." A few minutes later, you walk back in. Gave narrow his eyes. "Put the money back."

Choose one:
Knowledge: Local 3 ranks
Intimidate: 2 ranks
Perception: 1 rank
Enforcer


>>14244012
I love how you assume I mean horses.

>>14244034
Dammit, I always forget that.

Yeah, completely disregard what we've said OP. The man voting to kill a friend that easily could've killed us last time around is irrefutably right.

>>14244075
Shit, forgot me tripcode.

>>14244075
I'm assuming that whatever it is, we can assimilate and grow from.

But since you mention it, casually steer the conversation over to legitimate work, bringing up the stables. If he seems receptive, ask to tag along one day. If not just to get some recon on the place.

>>14244140
Are you retarded? It's full of slave children used in the sex trade.

>>14244223
Well excuuuse me for not associating "Shoveling manure" with underage harems. Besides, I already have an idea of what to do:

1) Go there
2) Eat kid, take appearance
3) Wait for some rich looking guy to come
4) Get him in a room alone
5) Eat, take appearance and knowledge
6) ????
7) Doppelganger Madness

>>14244140
Is it me or is the thread a bit slow tonight?
>You make a big show of heading outside, and drop the money in the shadows. Heading back in, you try to change the conversation. "So... you work in the stables?"
>Gave grimaces. "Some of the more honest work I do, yeah. Sometimes I can't pay with money, so I do a few jobs for the crimebosses. Breaking and entering, beatings, such as that. I won't kill an innocent though."

>>14244256
It is. On the bright side, we're getting shit done. Ask him what's in the stables

>>14244223
>>14244250
The fuck? All I did was drop the subtle suggestion one of the mob bosses is a pedophile a couple threads back. Where the fuck did you get that from?

>>14244277
I got it from him, and I just made a plan based off that. No clue where he got it from, though.

>>14244075
Perception.

We need it.

>>14244335
Apparently...

>>14244075
I'd say Perception, just because we'll get a +4 bonus once it's trained from our 19 Wis.

>>14244075
Knowledge. Perception doesn't seem high enough to be worth it (Though I'm not exactly familiar with DnD), and local knowledge could lead to better yums

>>14244380
We can either get:
1 Rank Perception, and a FREE +4 BONUS, now that it's a trained skill.

Or we can get

3 Ranks Knowledge, and no bonus, because it's already a trained skill.

>>14244407
A +4 Bonus? Well hot dog!

I'll change my vote to Perception then.

>>14244407
Actually, my interpretation of PF rules has been that ability bonuses are innate, and don't require ranks. Is that correct?

>>14244424
Also, due to lack of action:
>"So... you mind if I tag along behind you tomorrow?"
>Gave looks thoughtful. "Long as you don't get in the way, I'm fine with it. Just come back here early. That or you can stay the night, you got a place to sleep?"

>>14244424
I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure you only get ability score bonuses when you have at least one rank i the skill the bonus is adding to.

But if you want to go with the current system, that might be good too.

I vote for sleep over, fading to black, and starting up at the stables (or wherever the hell he takes us).

Perception

Ok, let's just go with Perception, then time-skip to the next morning, like >>14244488

>>14244448
Maybe you're thinking of the class skill +3 bonus? BTW, the doppelvourer doesn't get those; not unless you decide to actually take a class. Right now it's a racial class sort of thing.

>>14244375
>>14244407
>>14244502
Perception it is then.

>>14244488
>"Yeah, I'll stay in tonight if you don't mind." You spend the rest of the evening in a fairly interesting conversation about life, the city, and such before turning in.

Choose one:
Knowledge: Local 1 rank
Knowledge: Religion 1 rank
Knowledge: Geography 1 rank
Knowledge: History 1 rank

>>14244586
Local, I guess. If not local, then geography.

>>14244586
History, we don't have that yet.

Also, the class skill +3 thing=Pathfinder. If that's what we're playing, no problem.

Now, let's get ready to feed on some thugs.

>>14244586

Knowledge Local. Can't hurt to get more.

>>14244448
Corebook, P. 87

Table 4–2: Skill Check Bonuses
Untrained: 1d20 + ability modifier + racial
modifier
Trained: 1d20 + skill ranks + ability modifier +
racial modifier
Trained Class Skill: 1d20 + skill ranks + ability modifier +
racial modifier + 3

So ability modifiers always add. In Pathfinder, at least.

Knowledge: Geography sounds good to me.

>>14244634
Yes, Pathfinder. I didn't know that's what we were doing.

>>14244653
Now you know.
And knowing...is half the battle.

Ok, let's go with geography, that seems to be what the people want.

>>14244603
>>14244631
Knowledge: Local, I suppose.

Infodump: The city's three main crimebosses are Veni, Suga, and Kallos. Veni's a bit of a sketch; he likes to use children in his operations. Suga's from up north; he's said to have a twisted sense of honor. Kallos is the one to really be afraid of: he's brutal, short-tempered, and imaginative. Gave's in debt to all of them, and hates their guts; but he's not stupid enough to antagonize them needlessly.

Cont.

>>14244743
We need to meet with Kallos.

Offer our services as an assassin, in exchange for getting rid of Gave's debt.

Then, we frame Kallos for a failed assassination attempt on Veni.

Wile they're busy fighting, we eat Suga, and take over his operation.

>>14244715
Shit. Didn't catch that. Oh well,

>Early the next morning, Gave shakes you awake. "Let's get going, kid. I don't want to miss any meals." He grabs a couple pieces of hardtack from his chest and tosses you one. "And take off some of the crazy getup while you're at it."
>About an hour later, you're mucking out a stall. Behind you, its occupant scratches it's back against a post. Took you twenty minutes to coax that thing out of the stall, and now it stands behind you, seeming oblivious to your presence. Fucking pigs. At midday, the owner of the stable gives you and the other hands a holler. "'ere you go, 10 coppers as agreed." >You look to Gave. "Follow me, kid. I know where we can get some food cheap."

Follow or find your own food?

>>14244821
Are we done for the day or do we have more work to do with him? Go hunting if not, stick around with him and chat to learn more if we do.

>>14244821
Stay behind, say you'll meet up with him to eat, but you just remembered you've gotta do something first.

Then, when we leaves, eat some of the animals in the stables in a DIFFERENT FORM, then turn back and escape, and meet with the elf.

>>14244821
Stay behind, eat some animals from the stables, then meet the elf for some 'real' food.

>>14244933
>>14244871
Works for me. Feels like we'd get caught easily, but what the fuck.

>>14244821
Go with Gave, after having a bite to eat at the Stable Buffet. Disguised, of course.

>>14244977
We've got a +23 to Stealth. Fuck no we're not getting caught.

>>14244871
>>14244933
>You walk with Gave for a minute, then you stop. "I think I left my coinpurse in there!" >He nods, and steps under an awning. "Right then, kid. Hurry up."
>You run back to the stable, and slide under the closed gate. Nobody seems to be watching. There's 4 pigs in the stable right now.
Go for the biggest/littlest/hairiest/other?

/tg/ is so freaking slow right now.

>>14245020
Smallest two, they will be missed less, and we can eat they quickly.

Change our form first.

Make sure nobody's watching.

>>14245020
Go for the quickest to kill that won't make too much noise.

>>14245020
smallest/ whatever we can down fastest with least amount of mess.

>>14245020
Eat the smallest one, and then GTFO.

Sorry for the delay, connection's crapping itself.

rolled 100 = 100

>>14245084

This. Make certain no one is watching first.

Sorry for the delay, connection's crapping itself and I think 4chan's being DDoSed.

>You go for the smallest pig. It's a young boar, not yet fully grown, but it still massively outweighs you. You walk up to it carefully, and place the dagger nervously against its throat. You're probably only going to get one chance to get this right...
12 damage
Fort save 10 = fail
The pig squeals loudly in pain as you open it's jugular, but it bleeds out in seconds.
What do you do?

Hell, this may be my last post tonight. If it is, DBQ will most likely be back Friday night. Go ahead and keep an eye out until then, though.

>>14245166
Eat it quickly, before anyone comes to see why it was squealing.

>>14245166

Eat it fast before anyone can see us then GTFO.

>>14245166
Quickly check to see if anyone has noticed then nom it and get out. Should check to see if we have blood on us before going back to elf.

Bump

>>14245210
But I thought we did evrything naked.

Eat it carefully enough to avoid getting blood on us, but quickly enough so Gave doesn't get suspicious.
How big was that pig, anyway?

Right, then.
>You look both ways down the stable corridor. Nobody is in sight yet, but you hear shouting...
What do you do?

>>14245341
NOM

>>14245351
Oi, ya git, when's da next Kommando quest?

Also, pull the pig out of there into somewhere more secluded so we can eat it.

WITHOUT BEING SEEN.

>>14245370
When I am at home with my PC and random notes book. Technically I am procrastinting at uni.

>>14245341
how long does it take to eat something that size? If it's more than 10-15 sec then just get out of there, but try to not let anyone see you in kid form or it will ruin everything. Better to have them think some weird creature did it than be held responsible as the kid and ruin things for the elf.

>>14245341
On the side of caution I would say get out of there, but it depends on how close the yells sound and how fast we could ea the hog.

I HAVE WANTED TO EAT A PIG SINCE SESSION 3
EAT
THE
PIG
NOOOOOOW

>>14245351
>>14245370
Right, then.
>You close the stall door and mow in. You get a little over halfway through when the door behind you slams open. You spin around to see the stable manager standing in the row, face gone gone pale white. He turns to run.
What do you do?

Eat Pig. Take it's form. Guy comes and thinks all is right so goes away. Then eat rest or flee in kid form.

rolled 2 = 2

>>14245484
With leet skill, precision and power we spit the pig back out at him and smash him to the floor.
HARDCORE MODE ENGAGE

Shits hit the fan. Run up, bite out his throat, and drag him in. Mmm, food.

>>14245484
Pounce on him, and drag him into the stall.

>>14245495
Dicks

>>14245484
Aw damn well we could always take the pigs form, wait and hope for the best. When he comes back he'll find all the pigs there safe and sound. He'll think he's going crazy and might forget the whole thing. Then kill him when his back is turned.

rolled 15 = 15

>>14245484
GRAB HIM.

Drag him back to the stall, after ripping out his throat, so nobody hears him scream.

Question: How easily can we manipulate out forms? Can we get an upgrade later that gives us the ability to manifest other mutations such as being able to have pointy piranha teeth in any form if we choose?

Also, what form are we in?

>>14245495
>>14245499
>>14245532
You don't need to use the dice roller, it's a consensus chooses deal.
>You pounce after him and knock him into the floor. You manage to get on top of him and stab him in the chest a couple times, then rip out his throat with your teeth.
What next?

>>14245485
This, this hard. Make sure to lap up any blood around so its more convincing and fucks with his head.

>>14245577
Drag him back to the stall, and eat him and the pig.

Then use Prestidigitation to clean ourselves off and leave, to see the elf.

Return to the form of the child once we're clear.

>>14245577
Eat the guy and take his form. Use the gnome skill to clean blood off, and then diplomancy our way out when the guards come. Then, when no one is looking, eat the other three pigs.

EAT EAT EAT NOMNOMNOM Also eat the other pigs and leave something of the managers behind. Make it look like he stole the pigs.

>>14245577
Consume him and all the pigs. Kick dirt an straw around to conceal the blood. Steal his closes and coin purse. When Elfdude comes back from Lunch, tell him you sold the pigs and don't need his help anymore. Give him a tip for his problems so he won't care.

>>14245577
Eat and take his form, telling anyone else who comes in that some rabid beast ran into the stables and killed a pig then bit a child (us) and ran off with it when he arrived.

>>14245577
Eat him and the pig, take his form, and then eat the other pigs.

Then clean up and get the fuck out.

>>14245577
Anyone else coming?
No?
Then chow down motherfucker, finish that pig and drag the manager inside, then eat him too!
Yes?
HAUL ASS
back to gave

>>14245592
>>14245590
These

>>14245577
Where is the elf? Don't want him catching us in the act. If he askes where we've been we can just say it took a while to find the coin purse.

>>14245598
voting on this. it'd be handy to have another disguise that doesn't make us look like a gray. Need to keep the kid form though.

>>14245607
We tell the Elf that someone was murdered in the stables so we hid from the killer.

>>14245637
We don't need his form, we have the form of the kid and of a merchant we ate earlier

WE NEED IT MORE

we need the extra hp, faggots. We're like glass right now.

>>14245658
Leave the other pigs alone. We can come back tonight now that we know where this place is. We should have done this at night too.

17 Str looks good.

So does Ferocity.

Ferocity (Ex)

A boar is such a tenacious combatant that it continues to fight without penalty even while disabled or dying.

>>14245694
No we're not, we have 19 HP

>>14245658
Is toughness the same as normal DnD toughness?

>>14245707

Okay then, compromise?
STR 17 and Toughness?

17 Str and Toughness

We had ferocity in Doppelganger Damacy too. It was really useful as I recall. let us keep fighting when we were in negative HP. We would have died at least twice without it.

>>14245722
Fine then, str 17 and toughness

Shit. Formatted it wrong. Well, whatever.
>In the aftermath, you feel your muscles grow noticeably and more powerful. A red haze momentarily fills your vision, but fades quickly.
What do you want to do now?

>>14245745
Guys.

Guys.

Toughness can be taken more than once.

So we can take Ferocity, AND get three toughness, for 9 HP, if we just eat all the other pigs.

>>14245763
Did we find anything on the body?
Let's go meet with Gave after cleaning ourselves up a bit.

>>14245763

Ok then, have three more little piggies for lunch. Take two toughness and a Ferocity.

>>14245780
No time for that now, what with all the noise that was made. We can come back tonight.

>>14245794
Fine, but if the pigs are gone we'll have to find another stable with pigs.

Clean up and get to the elf.

>>14245923
YES.

>>14245923
Hastur.

That sounds strangely appropriate, though I don't know why.

>>14245874
"Lithuain." Add a couple random elfy syllables, too. Knowledge: Local and whatnot.

Ham, Nom, or other. First to three.

If you choose Hastur, and it gets repeated thrice, the king in yellow will appear, setting coherency be damned. Do not push me.

HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR

>>14245955
Don't think knowledge local is going to tell us about elf stuff seeing as Gave indicated that the elves live out of the desert and across a mountain range lol

Hastur!

>>14245959
I said ham, but I change it to Nom

>>14245959
>>14245955
I vote Lithuain

>>14245972
OOC doesn't count, jackass.

>>14245841

shouldnt the cleaning of the blood be permanent? i thought only effects beyond simple moving/cleaning/soiling were only 1 hour, unless that changed or there was something i missed of course

>>14245959
I'm still gonna go with Hastur.

Our name is Legion.

>>14245990
Predestination is a sort of levitation spell right? Why would the blood come back on our clothes later if we "moved" it off of it?

>>14245981
>>14245980
>>14245992
What is it with you jokers? This crap never got us anything but trouble in Doppelganger Damacy, why you got to bring it here too?

Vote for Nom.

You know what, nevermind. Let's go with Lithuain. Sounds kind of elvish, right?

>>14246024
>>14245981
>>14245934
>You feel an odd wrenching feeling in the pit of your stomach, as though something were horribly wrong with the universe. Gave and Vel share a sickened expression for a moment, then the feeling passes. "W-well, that was strange..." Vel stammers.
>You finally come up with an adequate-sounding name. "I-I'm Nom."
>Gave still looks slightly ill, but he smiles. "Right then, Nom. Let's get something to eat."

Cont.

>>14246031
To fucking late!

>Inside the door is a kitchen. Gave pulls a couple stools away from the wall, and kisses Vel. "What's left over for today, dearie?"
>A decent, if somewhat stale meal later, the two of you leave. Gave looks down at you, and asks. "So, hard work still look good to you? Or would you rather go beg or cut purses or whatever it is you do instead?"

Well?

Prestidigitation
Casting Time 1 standard action
Components V, S
Range 10 ft.
Target, Effect, or Area see text
Duration 1 hour
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.

i wasnt saying it should be removed, tolly mentioned the effects only lasted an hour i was just clarifying

>>14246080
Duly noted.

>>14246078
"hard work isn't bad but cutting purses is easier"

>>14246078
I leave the girl a few extra coins, as you never know when you'll need a good place to hide. "Hard work is fine, but I find myself suited for more subtle trades."

>>14246078
"Whatever it is I do? Are you implying that I ever do anything even remotely illegal?

But yeah, I steal stuff and sell it. What's it to ya?"

I heard the name 'Hastur.'

Please clarify.

>>14246113
We wanted to be named Hastur, but the GM said no.

>>14246078
Let's go work. Though I wouldn't suggest killing everyone we work for. Wouldn't want to leave an obvious trail or make the elf suspicious and put two and two together if the news of the stable-master's disappearance gets to his ears.

>>14246110
Guys, we need to become a THIEF.

Our Stealth Skill is fuck-high, why not?

>>14246093
>>14246104
>>14246110
>You frown, and say "I think I've done enough work for one day."
>Gave looks mildly disappointed. "Well, go do... whatever it is you do. Try to stay out of trouble. If you ever need some help, stop by." He scowls, and walks off, muttering "Chances are he will..."

What next, folks?

>>14246164
Climb up on the roof, and jump from rooftop to rooftop, looking for places to rob.

>>14246135
Stealth is pretty good. But... we kind of suck at mechanical devices and sleight of hand.

Go scout out some houses in the wealthier part of town, and then steal stuff from them.

>>14246113
Ever hear of the Cthulhu mythos? Look it up, if ya got time. Long story short, Hastur is not a very nice guy to be around, which you usually won't have to worry about, unless you're his enemy and say his name three times in a row. That being said, the "enemy" part might be optional.

>>14246118
TPK's don't come until at least session 10, of course he didn't let us call ourselves that. Unless any of you's secretly Old Man Jenkins?

>>14246078
What type of hard work?

>>14246164
I like what someone said earlier about meeting with the bosses. I suggest we take the night to feed some more. Maybe try to find a morgue or something nearby, then try to arrange a meeting with one of the gang heads.

>>14246183
Damn, timing. Eh.

What's our alternate form, again? I'm temporarily disremembering.

>>14246175
Hmm.

Can we get in touch with some Thieves? And then eat them for their knowledge.

>>14246164
Let's sneak back to the pigs and see what's happening there

DAMMIT TOLLY, I JUST GOT HOME

WHY

why ;_;

Don't nobody do anything cool until I catch up.

>>14246199
or... as a memory of older threads... lets go find some rats!

>>14246199
Fuck no. NEVER return to the scene.

Let's go find some thieves, and eat them, so we can learn lockpicking.

Didn't we leave a cat at that gnome house we were using as a base

>>14246173
>>14246182
>You decide it'd be easier to try climb in an open window somewhere and steal things than to muck out some more stalls or some other boring shit. You decide to take a bit of a wander about town. It's still the blazing midday, so people are staying inside to avoid the heat. You spot a good-looking prospect after about twenty minutes. Open window, rough stone wall with large gaps between the stones, everything.
Take a closer look?

>>14246239
now that you mention that... weren't we supposed to be telling fortunes or something? specifically to the guy who SOLD us the cat?

>>14246246
After all that shit we heard about gnomes I'd be happy to never see that place again. But on the other hand we did leave a bunch of stuff there.

>>14246245
Take a quick look, find something to steal, and then get back to the fortune telling house.

>>14246246
You have a VERY short attention-span.

>>14246245
Also, shit. Lost my tripcode again.

>>14246258
>>14246245
Not Tolly

>>14246245
Have a look see.

But we do have to meet that guy who gave us the cat.

>>14246245
Let's go for it, after we do the usual checking to see if anyone is around.

>>14246246
We weren't sure if he would come or not. He's not going to wait on us all day so he's probably long gone if he even showed up.

>>14246245
so.. no breaking windows? no having to open doors or anything? easy climb up the wall? maybe a little too easy? im not 100% sure how much of a bastard you are tolly but i know for sure that if it were me that setup is just bait. prolly that salt-pepper haired guy from earlier threads people were yelling "adventurer" about. then again whats the fun in not looking. check it out but try to approach from a side that isn't easily viewed from main streets if possible

Is our spare form still default Grey, or have we internalized something else? If we have, let's at least make sure to switch forms before doing any breaking and entering. This child's body has served us well, so we should take care of it.

>>14246290
Our spare is some merchant guy

>>14246258
>>14246266
>>14246273
>You look around you, but don't spot anything or anybody. You hoist yourself up the walls, scaling the stones easily. 30 feet up, you peer inside the window. A large table stands in the center of a spacious room. Trophies taken from exotic creatures and ornate weapons line the walls. A large woven carpet covers most of the floor. A single large stone and wood door stands ajar on the other side of the room. You don't spy anybody around.
What do?

>>14246290
Last i checked our two forms were the Rat-Boy and the trinket merchant could be wrong though

>>14246302
Curious scents?

>>14246302
Do we smell anyone? Check the window sill for anything suspicious

Swap out to merchant form, and take a sniff to see if there's anything tasty or dangerous around here. If we don't smell anything, use our amazing stealth to move to the door and take a peek.

>>14246311
>>14246334
>You cautiously sniff the air. You smell preserved dead animals, dust, and... a woman recently was here.

>>14246345
We can't swap while hanging off a wall in full view of anyone in the street or looking out a window.

>>14246350
Check the window for wires or odd looking plates and the climb in. Maximum stealth.

>>14246302
Keep listening for anyone inside while raiding the drawers for any valuables. We don't want to lug those weapons down 30 ft.

>>14246372
>>14246378
>You take a look around for any sorts of traps. You don't see anything... You haul yourself inside. Nothing happens. You loosen your clothing, and morph yourself into the merchant's form. Owww. Well, if nothing else you can pretend you're a confused and lost male prostitute.
>Steal shit or explore?

>>14246427
Steal shit and explore.

>>14246435
Why are those two options exclusive?

>>14246435
>>14246444

I concur. Also, we need to start carrying around a set of size M clothes.

MISSION GET: Aquire Bag of Holding!

>>14246427
>You grab the gaudiest weapon you can find in the room and venture through the door. You stand at the top of a broad white stone staircase. Doors line a balcony that wraps around a massive atrium below. A maid walks into view down below.

>>14246475
Stay out of sight if possible, but watch what she's doing.

>>14246475

Whisper to ourselves, "Hello, Lunch."

>free nommunts

Captcha has spoken!

>>14246475
What kind of weapon did we grab?

>>14246475
We could do an aerial attack she won't know what hit her. If we rummage through shit upstairs she'll either investigate or call the guards.

>>14246499
It's a warhammer with intricate inlaid gold and silver designs. It doesn't appear to have been designed for actual combat.

>>14246490
>>14246512
>>14246496
>You creep along the balcony, getting into position above where the woman will be in a moment. Wait for it... You jump, aiming for the maid 20 feet down. You miss, slamming into the floor in a very painful fashion. She screams and runs, fleeing from the atrium into another room. You hear shouting.
HP: 18/22

I'm getting tired. I think I'm going to finish this in about half an hour.

>>14246475
make a small sound to attempt to lure the maid to the upper room and when she is in there kill her as quickly and quietly as possible. consume slowly, use prestidigitation to remove blood from surroundings if possible, dont remember if we got the actual 0 level spell which would be unlim in PF or if we just got a once per day spell-like ability. if the spell like ability then kill her over something like a rug if possible so you can remove said rug to hide the blood. then loot at a fairly quickened pace before the master of the house notices his little fetish, er, housemaid is missing

>>14246580
damn posted too late XD

>>14246577
Pursue and feed. A maid and some noble can't be too much trouble...but if we sense the guard getting involved we should high-tail it out of there.

>>14246577
We're starting to derp around. We need some subtlety to our plans or we won't make it much farther.

>>14246577

Fuck what?! Go after her! We need to nom a sexy maid!

She...she IS a sexy maid, right? This is all a little pointless if it's another fatty :(

>>14246608
You pick yourself up off the floor and chase after the woman. You run through the door she disappeared through in time to see which room she's fleeing into. You see a movement out of the corner of your eye, and spin. A crossbow bolt catches you in the side, spinning you further and knocking you over.

Subtlety would have been a good idea, yes.

>>14246712
GOD DAMMIT, I LEAVE FOR LIKE FIVE MINUTES AND NOW WE'RE FUCKED.

Get the hell out of there, we're no match for two people at once.

>>14246712
What's our status and layout of area/enemies?

>>14246715
agreed. run like the little bitch we tried to eat.

>>14246512

This is your fault, you know. |:|

HP: 12/22
Perception check 9
>Y-you think that it's just the one guy in the other doorway off to the left side of the room, but you hear a hell of a lot of shouting.

>>14246712
We should run away. if worse comes to worse we can hide and change to kid and say a crazy naked man kidnapped us.

>>14246749
It's not my fault I have an unhealthy obsession w/ aerial attacks and do them whenever possible!

>>14246715
>>14246747
>>14246755
>You try to get to your feet, getting hit with another crossbow bolt in the process. Still, you manage to make it to the door way. Inside the atrium is another guard, this one a dwarf, charging at you with a halberd. He smashes you in the face with the butt. You see stars, then everything goes dark.

That's all, folks.

>>14246752

God damn it, I wanted to eat a sexy maid. This fucking sucks. Let's abscond before we get our stupid AERIAL DIVING ASS murdered.

>>14246818
You goddamn morons.

You idiots.

What the hell.

Fuck.

At least for tonight.

HP: -1/22

Come back Friday for another riveting installment of DBQ. You're not dead... Yet.

>>14246818

...wat

No, no no, that can't be it. I call bullshit. Bull. Shit.

So, any questions, comments, concerns? Anybody want information on the setting I have this in? Anybody want to slap me like a bitch for that small bit of trolling?

FUCK YOU OP.

>>14246865
I figure stupidity can warrant a bit of jerking around. Probably won't happen again, due to the lost element of surprise.

>>14246846

These threads are the highlight of my week, so obviously I don't have a lot to complain about, aside from that small bit of railroading at the end there. But I'm sure you're using it to lead the game in an interesting direction, so whatev.

The setting is actually pretty interesting, and I'm enjoying learning about it a little at a time from our hungry little buddy's point of view.

>>14246881
Railroading? Nah. Shit happens is all. The doppel's still alive, quest is still running. Just so happens that now you have a cliffhanger, and shit's probably going to go down some more next thread. I'm dropping off in 10, so any questions? GMing advice? Long and imaginative strings of insults?

Ugh, deus ex machina to save us?

Don't do that. Either do the hamfisted "OH BUT THEY ALL BOTCH HOW WACKY LUCKY" while we're alive, or just stick by your guns and say we're dead. This..."You're helpless, have pissed everyone off, and inexplicably left to live!" is the worst of both worlds.

To be fair, we've been pretty lucky so far. We've had some close scrapes that we just barely escaped from, by the GM's good graces.

[spoiler]We will come back and eat that maid though. This, I swear...[/spoiler]

>>14246919
It's a city in a highly lawful society ruled by a bureacracy. Maybe if you'd pissed some tribal warlord you'd be executed immediately. As it is, get ready to plead insanity in front of an apathetic court.

>>14246919

I'm happy to have us live and keep the game going, no matter how it happens.

Here's your archival, people.
http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/archive/14243127/
Fuck you again, OP

>>14246827
Wait, don't we have ferocity? doesn't that mean we can keep going even when in negative HP?

>>14247022
Nope. Everybody wanted the +3 hitpoints toughness gives, even though Ferocity is sort of like having 13 extra right now. Urggh

bumping for no real reason because I am stupid
