ReplyDeleteAnd don't forget to start out your turn with a song worthy of the Court of Stars!
Just wanted to quickly mention that, although it may seem trivial, the comment at the end of each round linking to the next is very handy.
ReplyDelete@Dean: I hope you choke and die in quicksand.
ReplyDelete@Hank: COME AT ME BRO!
Oh, just to give everyone a heads up, my posting may slow down a bit over the weekend. I'll be traveling, and won't always have access to a computer or the internet, so my post response time (which I've tried to keep very low) may stretch out a bit. I figured I'd apologize in advance.
ReplyDeleteSo...yes, just wanted to warn everyone.
Before Hank can reappear, two minions appear and begin to bust a dope sound. As they finish, Hank appears in his Batman regalia.
ReplyDeletehttp://youtu.be/_4LlA_yunVY?t=1m21s
"I am the bat."
He turns to Adam West pointing his hands and makes a series of non-sensical gestures instructing him to go walk next to that Diakka and attack his friend, Christian Bale.
"The night is mine!"
Tech
Standard Action: Charm of Misplaced Wrath on Adam West, +5 vs. Will (use Memory of a Thousand Lives adding d6 to roll if needed and would work), on hit slide to square D2 and he makes basic attack against Christian Bale with +2 to damage roll.
ACTION POINT: Beguiling Strands upward against Adam West and Diakka next to him, +5 vs Will (+2 against Adam if he is a dazed target). On hit, 5 damage (diakka makes attack if hit) and then push Adam West to square D14 into quicksand.
On hit, trigger Essence of Death, I take d6 necrotic damage (which I resist 5 necrotic) and Adam takes d12 necrotic damage
Move Action: walk to E6
Minor Action: Pick up Necklace.
Free Action: Spread cape like bat and stand in awkward, awkward silence.
The Court of Stars, while initially dismissive of Hank Venture's song, were unable to keep a straight face through the whole thing.

George clooney pops out of the dancing hut in clothes he was not wearing upon entering, and a banjo. Landing firmly on the ground in his dirty overalls and banjo, he looks about the field, paying witness to the bloodshed of the battlefield. He begins laying into his banjo a southern riff that tugs at your soul and belts out:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTgDiE4btvg
"I am a man of constant sorrow
I've seen trouble all my day.
I bid farewell to old Kentucky
The place where I was born and raised...."
He turns towards Dean Venture and continues his song of sorrow, the notes causing Dean's soul to share in his pain:
"Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
My face you'll never see no more.
But there is one promise that is given
I'll meet you on God's golden shore...."
After finishing with Dean, George Clooney hops back on the leg of the Baba-Yaga Hut, riding it away with the finishing lines:
"It's fare thee well my old lover
I never expect to see you again
For I'm bound to ride that northern railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon this train...."
(out of order verses I know, but it fits better with my actions!)
Tech:

The Court of Stars look at one another as the banjo starts playing. "It's kind of catchy..." Oran began saying, but the Prince of Frost simply rolled his eyes. "It was a bit catchy a decade ago. I wanted something more original..."
ReplyDeleteGeorge Clooney takes 15 damage!
George Clooney is unconscious at -4hp!
If you would like to self-gib and take your turn, you'll spawn in location 4. Else you can remain unconscious and get booted out of the Hut. Whichever you prefer

Note: For the charge, I'll have to cut the corner from B12 to C13. If this is a problem, I'll jump the corner as a part of the charge (+9). With a running start I should succeed, unless a 1 is an automatic failure.
If the court finds me in favour, can I use my action point this round?
Generally you can use Action Points in the same round that they are granted by crazy FTDM terrain effects, but you probably want to wait for Jon's die rolls before declaring how you want to use it anyways.
ReplyDeleteBy the way! You probably didn't know this, but at every live FTDM Tournament I wear thsi shirt: http://hamamori.com/sale_20386_470732085-What-Is-Best-In-Life-Conan-The-Barbarian-T-Shirt.htm
That might be a good FTDM Dungeon Master's turn action, ask each dungeoneer: What is best in life?
Most convincing War Face wins.
That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'll wait for the die rolls, and move the hut NW.
Sorry, I was looking where the hut is on the map now. I'll move it towards K3.
ReplyDeleteSaving Throw vs Petrification: 1d20(1) HUMILIATION!

So much unprofessionalism. Whatever. On with the scene. No, let's not take a fucking break, on with the fucking scene! Bale hulks up, looks his manliest, then quickly changes into an orange and white minidress with a Sailor collar and a blonde wig. He was going to have to shoot his agent after this, wasn't he? Whatever. Spotlight. Perfect. Sing!
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0d8G_whbLe8
(Never ask me to sing. I WILL.)
Come to think of it, why wait for his damn agent? Those fucking kids are STILL ON HIS SET.
[tech]
Move: Shift to J2
Minor: Curse Dean
Standard: Diabolic Grasp on Dr. Venture
+7 vs Fort (I should be an equal distance from him as one of my allies after the shift, so Prime Shot should work. If not, it's +6.) If it misses, Heroic Effort
On hit: 2d8+5 damage, and slide him to H10
Send the hut towards H5
Did Clooney teleport to D14?
ReplyDeleteAssuming Clooney did teleport, and I can use my action point, I'd like to target Clooney and West with the Wand of Senaliesse (NE corner of my square to SE corner of West's).
ReplyDelete+10 vs Ref,+15 vs Clooney (juggernaut + unconscious), +12 vs West (juggernaut + dazed)
4d6 radiant dmg (+5 vs Clooney)
miss for half.
George Clooney makes a saving throw against teleportation into hazardous terrain.
ReplyDelete1d20(15) [SUCCESS]
I'll assume that Brock will not be using the wand against just one person, and will be saving his AP
----
The Archfey of the Court of Stars look at each other curiously as Christian transforms. "Does anyone know what that was?"
...
"Does anyone understand what was sung?"
...
"Is anyone else slightly disturbed?"
*hands raise*
"On the other hand, that took guts. WE APPROVE!"
Christian Bale gets an Action Point!

Umm, Dean should be unconscious at this point...
ReplyDeleteCourt of Stars Failure:
Dean Venture takes 15 damage, and is bloodied at 12HP.
SHV for gibbing Bale:
Dean takes 10 damage from Stormhawk's Vengeance! (should be at 2HP to start)
then in that last post he takes 10 more damage. Unconscious at -8?
@BFlat: Action Points can only be used on your turn.
ReplyDeleteI asked Jon if I could use it at the end of my turn, but didn't get a response.
ReplyDeleteOh I see, in all the confusion (Jon is out of twon travelling at the moment) that must have slipped through the cracks and Christian Bale's turn came up.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking for Team S.A.G., I would think it only fair for Brock to be able to use the Action Point now, although he wouldn't be able to target Christian since Bale was not on the map at the time. As always, I bow to whatever ruling the Dungeon Master decrees.
Mayor Adam West to Brock: COME AT ME BRO!!!
yeah, you were fine to use it at the end of your turn, but Christian went ahead and posted. the AP would have triggered at the end of your turn, before Bale went; but since the teleport failed you didn't meet the criteria you had set up for your AP.
ReplyDeleteAnd correct on Dean, I'd forgotten to update the "current HP status" spreadsheet.
DEAN VENTURE IS UNCONSCIOUS!
I totally understand why it was neglected, so no worries there. Also, I will hold off after seeing that Clooney didn't teleport. Next round, West...
ReplyDeleteI also attacked a different person. ;) Dr., not dean.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, my interests and hobbies are varied and often strange. ;)
Gonna wait to declare my AP until things get figured.
ReplyDeleteok,
ReplyDeleteChristian attacks the unconscious Dr Venture:
DR VENTURE IS GIBBED!
DEAN VENTURE IS HUT-GIBBED!
I'm actually going to say that you can't use an AP this round, since you already know that the Hut is going to hit Dean Venture (who would have been the most likely target). Since there was no mention of using the AP in the original post (as opposed to Hank, who posted his intention before knowing results), I'm going to ask you to save it.
Indeed, no worries. My fault for forgetting an if clause. :)
DeleteAnd Bale's singing is beautiful, don't make him trash your lights, Val! ;)
Lol, the word verification is 'nogib'. I Disagree!
My song is a ballad of love, geeky, geeky love. Between a girl, and the shaggy dwarf who saved her from horde of golems. You should listen all the way to the end for the best part.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.toplessrobot.com/2011/03/dungeons_dragons_adorable_love_songs.php
Val, grabs his bathrobe and steps from the hut grumbling, promising to call his agent about better accommodations and more bear claws. Hearing some god-awful singing he looks around and directs his ire at the burly one.
Minor: Grab Wand of Senaliesse
Free Action: Step out of hut at H6.
Standard Clever Shot v Brock. +8 v AC, 1d10+5dmg and slid 2 squares to D13.
Move: K9
Hut to H8
..I think that's everything?
Okay, so I was typing while other stuff got posted. I step out in a place from which I can shoot Brock. Same actions otherwise.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Val Kilmer's attack bonus should be +9 (+5 Dex +2 proficiency +1 weapon talent +1 bow expertise), and Matt has emailed me telling me that if he gets an Action Point due to the Court of Stars' approval of his song, he will wait for his attacks to roll out before declaring if he's using it or not.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
The Court of stars exchanges looks. "Hmm...a simple tune, but entertaining."
ReplyDeleteVal Kilmer gains an action point!
Val Kilmer searches through the hut for the wand, unaware that Brock had already procured it earlier.
stepping out of the hut, Val takes a shot towards Brock
1d20(2)+9=11 vs AC 19 [MISS!] *something something hooche*
I'll hold off on rolling for the Hut until after Matt's action point is declared, as spelled out by Casey. I'll update the map regardless
Sorry for the lengthy delay, just got back from PA.
ReplyDeleteAs the wand was not in the hut, may I use a Minor? If so I take on the Aspect of the Dancing Serpent.
Taking a second shot at Brock with Clever Shot again, same goal to slide to D13. Casey was right it's +9vAC, 1d10+5. It would then get +1atk and dmg for my Aspect.
And of course don't forget my new bow +2atk and dmg right?
ReplyDeleteAs Val slips into a new stance that awkwardly resembles a python doing the tango, he lines another shot towards Brock:
ReplyDelete1d20(8)+9+2(enh)+1 (stance)=20 vs AC 19 [HIT]
Damage: 1d10(9)+5+1+2=17 damage
Brock is Unconscious with -12 HP!

ReplyDeleteLooks like all of my lingering conditions have been cleared off, which is nice. I don't often get my full set of actions.
ReplyDeleteMayor Adam West looks around at all the furrowed brows, all the tense countenances, all the anger, all the hate. Soon,he breaks out into song.
Fellas, fellas! We're just playing a game. The most deadly game. But we can't go through life so unhappy!
We have to keep things light.
We have to keep things happy.
We have to keep it gay."
