[OOC] The Wild Beyond Witchlight

[Dark Cloud]

@Guardian Angel Haruki Alrighty

[Dark Cloud]

@Dark Cloud that’s because the Flaming Fist are too good at being the biggest gang in town, they’re extremely efficient at bullying people.

@Fading Memory

Indeed, no time for politics when you can punch people.

@Dark Cloud

I'm already looking forward to this chapter, and this just added onto that excitement. XD

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

Awesome!

OK. Let's end this encounter then! XD

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Let's not be too hasty now.

@Guardian Angel Haruki I feel like I'm playing my characters alignment well, Neutral Good is sometimes a balancing act but I like it. You aren't necessarily a paragon of justice but you just try to do well by others as you would yourself.

[Dark Cloud]

@rush99999 Can I roll persuasion to get Brut to stand down? If that's okay with you ofc.

@Dark Cloud

Yeah, I'd say you are. ^_^

@rush99999

Oh no...O_O

[rush99999]

@Dark Cloud

I'm afraid not. Brutrumukk smells blood in the proverbial water. Words alone won't be enough to stop him now.

[Dark Cloud]

Then I pray to Corellon it doesn't come to a point where Brut does something truly atrocious in the party.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

Would Brutrumukk have enough time to try and discourage Bunny Brigand E from helping the wounded? If there is enough time, would an Intimidation roll of 18 be a high enough roll to do so?

@rush99999

I'm going to have to say 'No' on that one. I don't think Intimidation can be done as a reaction. ^^"

On Alignment; 5e doesn’t do hard and fast, I chose lawful good because if she has a choice she’ll follow rules and do the ‘right thing’ by her perception, there’s no point in digging more specifically as far as 5e really needs. It becomes an argument for most people.

All I need from alignment personally is a general indicator; I expect Brut to be cruel and selfish, I expect Jub to just be selfish (whether to the point of ruin or otherwise; I don’t have a stigma against Chaotic Neutral like a lot of folks do), neutral good I see as the ‘normal adventurer’; go with your gut, etc.

It’s just a vague indicator rather than the oldschool cosmic war that I know and love.

Zavakri is truly not for gunning down fleeing people, it’s not her vibe; if Boss said I could non-lethal a spell it’d be different, but if they’re fleeing beyond my range/I can’t do nonlethal then my only choice left is to let them go from my charrie’s PoV.

@rush99999 all my memery aside, our folks may truly butt heads sooner or later; I’m just clearing the air and saying I’m quite alright with whatever needing to happen happening. I didn’t want to butt heads IC more than we have without saying my boundary/asking what yours was for cohesive gameplay.

[Guardian Angel Haruki]

@Fading Memory Oh shoot! Sorry I missed your question about the spell!

I will allow non-lethal damage by spell (unless that spell is something like Fireball or Finger of Death, Disintegrate, etc. We'll go case by case on this).

However, Jebbek and the two other brigands are now shrouded in mists, so Zavakri can't really see them now.

@Guardian Angel Haruki

If you want the official, then any skill check takes an action by all technicality; even doing an ‘insight’, for example, in combat takes it up without a friendly GM. Not advocating for a particular call at any point, just trying to be a little helpful. It’s why people doing active perception checks to find hidden rogues is so punishing, etc.

Edit: Loud and Clear on their Escape, Boss

@Fading Memory

Arguing is fine by me. Coming to blows is also good with me so long as it doesn't get too out of hand. I'd rather it not get to the point where one of us actually kills the other though.

[Fading Memory]

Sounds good to me. The farthest I’ll take it is if Brut’s karma ever catches up to him, she miiight just let it catch up.

[XxFellsingxX]

On the topic of alignments, part of me suspects that Jub might - if he spends enough time around the likes of Gabriel and Aurora, who he already has positive feelings towards and thus likely have more sway on him than the other 'good' aligned members of the party - start to tip towards Chaotic Good.

... though he's definitely got some things he's got to work through first xD

[rush99999]

@XxFellsingxX

Do you also suspect that Jub might tip the other way if he spends enough time riding on Brutrumukk's shoulder?
