No worries guys, I made sure all the girls were non related.

A real brother right here.

Lets see....
Furnace is like the little one who needs lead around, but is very determined.
Separ is like the son who is a bit naive, but is strong and moral.
Suki is like the foreign exchange student who is temporarily living with us, and trying to just seduce everyone at once.
Vis is that one son who hides in his room all day, but is really a rom-com addict- despite his rough outward appearance.
Alula is that strange, spaced out next-door neighbor girl who always somehow wanders into the house and randomly gets caught up in our vacations.
Kelvin is like a father who just wants to get done with work, and everyone safe.
Carver is the over protective mom who disaproves of the foreign exchange student.

Kronshi is the tax collector, that is all.

Also, I'm waiting to post until I can get final confirmation on the Ettin's status. At that point I will attempt to grab Furnace and piggyback carry him out.

What if one of the boys is gay, though?

@Spoopy ScaryTalk to your mother about it.

I mean that all the boys in group are brothers while all the girls are unrelated one way or another, which seems like a pretty heterosexual-tinted pair of lens aimed at pleasing our straight male demographic (derived from the "no worries guys").

If it turns out that the two girls are lesbians, I am laughing my bony ass off.

Disclaimer: not criticizing anybody, just an observation.

Its a good point, but both Vis and Separ have revealed their colors, and Furnace seems entirely disinterested in relationships at all. As for the girls, they do as they like, but Alula doesn't seem too interested either.

Carver seems to lean towards hetero, and Kelvin has shown as much interest as Furnace at this point.

You mean your pelvis, you don't really have an ass. And if you were to laugh that hard and lose your pelvis, you'd lose your legs too, so reconsider laughing that hard.

Right. Before I start hacking away at my post (lots of work on phone) I need to know what needs to go.

Kronshi did you read my explanation on page 48? What kind of challenge is the Ettin suposed to be?

I understand I may have misinterpretted the general feel of the setting. I haven't read any good arguments against the post, so I have trouble seeing your problem here.

PS: Don't threaten to kill characters like that. It's unnescesaried and unbecomming.

I guess the main problem I had with the post is that it has your character display a lot more power and skill than should really be available to a level one character, in addition to a LOT more power and skill than the rest of us had been displaying. Like, I read that and had this feeling of "Well, hell... why is my character even here?"

Like, look at everyone else's contributions to the fight. Alula goes into Super Saiyan mode, and proceeds to relentlessly annoy the Ettin. Vis swordfights a guy, gets shot, and almost bleeds to death. Suki summons some skeletons who do some admittedly good work, but then almost passes out from the effort. Separ is half dead from being stabbed the whole time. Kelvin shoots a couple goblins, then uses one of his rare, expensive, one-use sticks of dynamite to kill a whole bunch of them. Carver kills a few goblins, but then gets covered by more of them and spends the rest of the fight getting wailed on in a dog-pile.

Meanwhile, Furnace saves Carver (thanks a million for that, by the way), turns the whole battlefield into a raging lava inferno, goes full Attack on Titan on the miniboss and stabs the absolute bejeezus out of it with a melting sword. All without a scratch.

That's hilariously awesome, of course, but it makes the rest of our characters sort of look like chumps? If you know what I mean?

oooooo side plotsss

(also I agree fully with Wizardlizard's points)

We must completely derail the main plot! Fight it at ever turn! Derail to a factor of 2+ Hendersons!!!

"Kelvin shoots a couple goblins, then uses one of his rare, expensive, one-use sticks of dynamite"

Dont remind me ;-;

I updated Alula's sheets with some new pictures and relationship section

(you guys should all do relationship sections too. for funsies.)

So I reread some of your earlyer posts. I admit my 'god of war' style of rp stands in stark contrast with, for example, Vis's 'Darksouls' aproach.

Keep in mind that was my first combat post in this campaign, and I draw from other games on this site where this would be considered meek. (like one where I slung a bike at someone at 80mph. He got up and retaliated.)

My other source is various versions of dnd and pathfinder. In which I have done similar things often.

I just saw how, in dnd terms, Furnace had a significant advantage.
Then I came across that song, never seen the series but I think I got the general feel of it right?

I'm going to alter things to be a lot less favorable to the fearless little gnome. Gimme a little while.

PS: on relationships: That's still on the long list of things Furnace doesn't know about yet. Like fear, death, the sun and the moon.

Also could I recommend Journey Quest to anyone who is bored and wants to watch a youtube series about dnd?

Wouldn't really work, seeing as how Carver's opinions of people generally start at maximum until they disappoint him. You're all still pretty much tens in his book.

The natural exception being Suki, whom he trusts as far as he can throw. Probably less, actually, she seems pretty light.

@akjeI doubt anyone has real bad blood about the post, or at least I don't. What is fixed is fixed.

Kelvin has little to say about anyone but Suki

Well it's changed conciderably now.
Tell me what you think.
