Naked time!

So, is Neb going to pull down the curtain as a makeshift robe, or what?

on the bright side it often seems like being the dude in a loincloth is rarely a handicap in these kinds of situations

New rule: no spitting on baby jellysnakefrogs

Now I'm not too savvy on lovecraft lore, but in Conan when you untie a mostly nude woman from a wizard's tower it's a good thing.

So we gonna go down to the depths and murderize those dudes (and maybe awaken a dread horror in the process)?

Just waiting to let the rest catch up and post, we moved a little fast yesterday.

I'll let that sink in and give people a chance to respond.

Nothing personal, Neb.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 4:15 pm

Anybody else accompanying Velasco

Korgan0 · Post by **Korgan0** » Thu Dec 19, 2013 6:51 pm

Karlus won't be.

OgreBattle · Post by **OgreBattle** » Fri Dec 20, 2013 2:58 am

Taotie goes with Velasco

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 10:06 am

So, everybody else going to see the wizard?

OgreBattle · Post by **OgreBattle** » Mon Dec 23, 2013 2:55 pm

I hope so, my character is in a quantum state until everyone else arrives at the scene.

Sounds good to me.

new policy: Kill all women we meet, they are evil harlots made of snakes.

the lamia seems a higher priority target than the guards, perhaps you can try ganging up on her in one turn before the guards make it to you.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Dec 27, 2013 1:32 am

Not all of them.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Tue Dec 31, 2013 10:12 pm

Sorry for the delay on my part. I think we're waiting on the other two.

Korgan0 · Post by **Korgan0** » Tue Dec 31, 2013 11:05 pm

Maybe a quick map would help out w/r/t where the lamia, the guards, Catsushi, and the PC's are.

So the she-lion that's got Taotie by the throat, is she able to do like critical coup de gras bite if I continue to grapple, or is it a "regular attack vs pinned (but not helpless) opponent" so I'd be taking damage but not an instant death attack?

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Wed Jan 01, 2014 7:45 pm

Regular attack vs. pinned.

Ok, so what is going on with Kamoses? So far as I can tell, if it was hypnotism, he should have been released as soon as she was pulled into a war of souls, and supposedly it's difficult to hypnotize sorcerers anyway. If it's a war of souls...then Neb fucked me by joining in because I now have two sorcerers actually trained in hypnosis I have to beat.

What can I actually do?

Nebuchadnezzar · Post by **Nebuchadnezzar** » Fri Jan 03, 2014 10:06 am

Well, man, I figured it was the two of us versus her, at the least, and she can only drain one of us at a time. My dude isn't trained in hypnotism(it would be next, since serpent magic is basically nature/hypnotism), so if AH is using the conan bestiary the lamia is +6-8 or so on either of us. The main thing we're providing at the moment is a chance to hit the lamia while she can't move/threaten/dodge/parry/cast spells.

Ancient History · Post by **Ancient History** » Fri Jan 03, 2014 10:19 am

The lamia has an innate Dominate ability.

Prak · Post by **Prak** » Fri Jan 03, 2014 10:21 am

Unfortunately, being in a war of souls is probably the most useless thing Kamoses could be doing right now, second only to taking a piss.

Nebuchadnezzar · Post by **Nebuchadnezzar** » Fri Jan 03, 2014 10:38 am

Oh, crap, ha, she does. Well, I guess Neb is throwing points away, and Kamoses is dominated, then.

Just waiting to see if Whipstitch does anything different, I think - unless someone wants to change their action.
