[OOC] 🦄 Duplicity - D&D Style Fantasy Rp Adventure (Completed)

[Experiment 249]

GAH! I forgot to post for a few days, sorry guys. I'll work up a post tomorrow for Thelin. I was focusing on binge watching the entirety of Avatar the Last Airbender in 3 days, but that's all done now so I'll get some rest and post tomorrow!

[Lady Absinthia]

Okay, we have a bit of a meta gaming problem. The undead part of this rp is NOT known yet. The story at the beginning of the ooc is just set up, none of your characters know this. The only thing even hinting at anything being off is the dug up graves. Where the necromancer is, that there is one, that there could or would be undead, none of that is in game yet.

I expect edits to references of such, this is not debatable, this is a huge violation of anti metagaming protocol. All any one knows is what you character has seen or heard in game thus far. Nothing about undead has come up in rp as of yet.


Any pm's I get from this will be ignored. This is not debatable. This is against the rules.

Any post referencing such should be ignored by rpers until it is edited out.

Your Gm - aka Goddess,

Lady A

[Experiment 249]

I live!

I need to read up on what happened and then post
(also someone just bought me undertale on steam, so I need to make sure everything is done before I beat the whole game in one sitting because I'm a monster with no self control)

EDIT:
Did not beat it in one sitting, only got to muffet

[lostdreamer]

The undead part of this rp is NOT known yet.

@Lady Amalthea

Sorry, my bad. Apologies for getting overly eager and excited and running off in random directions.
Now fixed.

I'd assumed that the fact the tower surrounded by undead and disturbed graveyard were signposted in the first post ment that they were common knowledge or the subject of enough rumours that someone who was interested could figure it out.

I'll wait for it to come up in play.

[Lady Absinthia]

@lostdreamer You'll have to forgive me, still waking up and having kids under foot while Christmas prepping but I don't recall saying the tower was surrounded by undead. O.o - I mentioned the necromancer was in the tower protected by undead, that doesn't mean any of them are outside the tower. For clarification, they are inside and this is unknown in the village.

[Lady Absinthia]

Merry Christmas everyone from East Coast U.S.A. where's is raining and we have the a.c. running, lol

[Sigil]

@Experiment 249

"Orcish War Horn"? That's an apt descriptor I hadn't thought of. Mind if I borrow in the future?

[Experiment 249]

Go for it man, haha

Still questing for his holy sword
Still questing for his "War horse"

Armour:
Ankheg Platemail he earned after getting swallowed whole by the beast. His mother had sent him out to protect some farmers from loosing cattle and bit off more than he could chew. His saving grace was that it had spit up its stomach acid earlier in the fight so when he was swallowed, he wasn't bathing in its juices as he cut his way free with his throwing axe.

His heavy wooden shield is little more than a stacked pair of barrel lids, a keepsake from his first tavern brawl he had since put fittings to to protect himself in the future. He most often uses the shield with his throwing ax when his scythe is of no use to him. People joke that since it came from a gnomish brewer, the wood must be potion-proof, he hasn't tested this theory.

Weapons:
His primary weapon is a Scythe that once belonged to a cleric of Chauntea who fell in battle beside him. The scythe lets him use his full body with each swing while keeping an ionic look for his future fame. They fought beside one another dealing with a goblinoid threat and the cleric fell to a lucky javelin throw.

A throwing ax is his primary offhand and ranged weapon, allowing him to put his strength on a ranged targets. It was a piece given to him from a dwarf bard for having the courage to stand against a tree with an apple on his head.
Items:

Gold: 100 GP in forms of various smaller treasure, such as silver goblets, jeweled dagger and other trinkets.
Biography:
His story starts with his ancestors. His great grandmother was a paragon of elven ways and life, a paladin to Mielikki who rode a unicorn into battle. But it seems her pride was his doom, a moments weakness with a human ranger whom she had thought was a blessing of the elven gods resulted in a half-elven child.

That half elven boy still had the spark of nature and became a ranger like his father. A good and noble position, the best a human could achieve in elven eyes, but his every breath was a reminder to his mother of a moment when she was less than the ideal elf. That stain spread when he in turn fell in love with a human, just as his mother had before him. This child was almost considered illegitimate as a full human if not for the druidic magic that flowed in her veins and the almond eyes.

The final insult came twenty years ago when the druid human made peace with the orcs trying to deforest the trees on the edge of the wood. A bargain was truck to lead the orcs to naturally fallen trees within the forest for their use or to hew diseased wood to prevent infecting others. This bargain was consummated with the shaman of the orcs and a half-orc child was born of the union.

He was nearly killed on the spot if not for divine intervention, a birthmark of a unicorn rests atop his breast showing him to be gifted by Mielikki, just as his great grandmother. She watches and waits while showering him with back-handed praise as she begrudgingly trains him with nearly suicidal missions, If he dies, she wins, if he lives, she corrects him on everything he did wrong.
***

Miscellaneous

Items
He wears a holy symbol of Heironeous rather than Mielikki, as a tournament of arms was fought to a draw against another paladin. He offered to exchange holy symbols as a gesture of brothers in arms and was received with zeal.

He prefers to wear simple homespun fabrics under his armor, burlaps or stiff leathers as an act of humbleness and simplicity.

[Lady Absinthia]

@knighthawk What, no Lob? Wanted to see what he did with his bone ;p lol But seriously, character concept is solid, talked over the previous Rp you and Sigil were in together. Transfer over to the CS for this Rp and keep it even keel and you shouldn't have a problem. Well other than a half orc in an area being attacked by orcs, mwahahah.

[knighthawk]

Do you want Lob? I can bring Lob in with NO PROBLEM!

Psychological Attributes

Hypnotic susceptibility * Aggressiveness * Compliance * Risk taking

Sexuality: Pansexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality:
It is easy to say he is retarded and write him off, many do. But truly between the simplemindedness of a child or a dog are the greatest qualities ever sought by any other. He gives without thinking and acts with no regard for his own safety. He believes himself invincible only because he hasn't died yet. He remembers those lost to him, he treasures animals almost above people. He will do almost anything asked of him without hesitation.
But for all of this childlike innocence with utter canine loyalty is the temper tantrums with the strength of a giant and the ferocity of Feral rage unleashed. He is still the barbarian and the animal all claim him to be by the way he eats and bullies his way upon others when he can tell they are 'in season'.
Habits: Sniffing others and licking hands to greet, rubbing things on himself for scent and texture.
Hobbies: Foraging
Fears:
Not a fear, but a rage trigger for him are gnolls, those that killed his pack.
He fears dragons. Not because of their common fear power, but the fact that he has seen its breath weapon melt a man to death over several moments of screaming.
Truly, he fears being alone. He has always had someone else to guide him and keep him by their side. But without a packmate he will sycophantly cling to the nearest person simply to not be alone.
Likes: food, warm, friends, dogs/wolves, anything new, Dwarfs
Dislikes: sleeping on stone, cold/snow, Hyenas, Scale-folk, underground, Hellhound meat.

Skills

• Darkvision/infravision: able to see at night/in the dark for 60 feet
• Climbing: up the wall, up the tree, up the giant. (95% success)
• Back detection: Savage instincts to foul attacks from behind. (40% chance of detecting an attack from behind, made by any character or creature. If the barbarian successfully detects the attack, he avoids it. Additionally, the barbarian is entitled to counter-attack the attacker immediately, even if the barbarian already attacked that turn.
• Leaping(forward) and springing(up): Running Leap: 3d6+6 Ft. Running Spring: ld6+3 Ft. Standing Leap: 2d4+3 Ft. Standing Spring: ld4+3 Ft.
• Wild Brawl: When fighting without weapons, the Brute can propel himself into a berserk frenzy. Bites, punches and kicks are all directed at a single opponent. A single attack roll is used to determine if these attacks finds their mark. Damage is ld6.
• Enhanced Sense of Smell: A Brute can trail a human, animal, or demi-human by scent, presuming the quarry made the trail within the previous 24 hours. The Brute must be familiar with the quarry, or must have a sample of the scent (a scrap of hide, a lock of hair, a piece of clothing). A Brute has the same chance to follow the trail as if he had the tracking proficiency. Use the Brute’s Wisdom score to make tracking checks. If the Brute has the tracking proficiency, he receives a +2 bonus to his checks.
  A Brute can also identify a particular character or creature by its lingering aroma, presuming the character or creature was in the area within the past 24 hours. The Brute must be familiar with the creature or have a sample of the scent. The Brute identifies the scent with a successful Wisdom check.
• Surprise Bonus: Because of the Brute's sharp senses, he receives a +2 bonus to his surprise rolls.
• Weapon specialization: Great club, (+1 hit +2 damage)
• Weapon proficiency: Dagger, Throwing Axe, Battle axe, Spear, Net
• Armor proficiency: Padded, Leather
• Stealth: The Feralan receives a +10% chance to hide in natural surroundings and a +10% chance to move silently. These total to 20% hide and 25% move silently
• Feral Rage: During melee combat, the initial wounding of an opponent may impel the Feralan into a frenzy of blood lust, increasing his fighting effectiveness. A Feralan can make one attempt to become enraged at any particular opponent. After the first round in which a Feralan inflicts damage on an opponent, the Feralan has the option of making a saving throw vs. death magic. If the roll succeeds, the Feralan goes into a feral rage for the next 2d6 rounds. During that time, the rage gives the Feralan a +2 bonus to all attack and damage rolls, and his base Armor Class improves by 2 (an unarmored Feralan's AC is temporarily raised to 8). However, all attacks must be made against the designated opponent and the Feralan must attack in every round he's able; he can't voluntarily break off an attack, or choose to attack a different opponent.
  
  An enraged Feralan must continue to attack the designated opponent until the feral rage wears off, or the opponent dies or escapes. If the rage wears off, the Feralan may continue to attack normally, or take any other action; however, the Feralan can't attempt to become enraged again against the same opponent. If the opponent dies, the feral rage automatically ends. If the opponent flees, the Feralan will pursue for the duration of the rage.
• Familial Rapport: The familial followers of a Feralan will generally do what they're asked, assuming they're physically capable of doing so, when the Feralan speaks to them in their own language. Mistreated familial followers may still abandon a Feralan.
• Animal Training: The Feralan may train non-familial followers.
• Call of the Wild: When in the plains, the Feralan may attempt to summon familial species animals by howling at the top of his lungs for 1-6 rounds. The DM then secretly rolls percentile dice. If the result is less than or equal to the Feralan's Wisdom score plus his level (a 1st level Feralan with Wisdom 15 has a base chance of 16%), 1-4 familial animals show up within the next hour. Once they arrive, these animals act as followers for the next 1-4 hours. During this time, the Feralan may command them with his Speak with Animals ability. At the end of the 1-4 hour period, the summoned animals disappear into the wilderness. A Feralan can attempt call of the wild once per day.
• Forager: By using this proficiency, a character can search a wilderness area to locate a small amount of a desired material, such as a branch suitable for carving into a bow, enough kindling to start a fire, a medicinal herb, or a component required for a spell. The character must spend 2-8 (2d4) hours searching, and the material must theoretically be available in the area being searched (for instance an icicle isn't available in the desert, nor dry kindling on the ocean floor). The DM doesn't confirm if the material sought is actually available until after the character has searched for the designated period. If the DM decides the material isn't in the area, no proficiency check is necessary; he merely reveals that the search was in vain.
• Danger sense: This proficiency provides a humanoid character with a sixth sense which warns of impending danger. On a successful check, the character avoids a trap at the last second or realizes that opponents wait to ambush him due to a sudden warning tingle that cannot be ignored. Characters who make successful checks spot traps before blundering into them and receive initiative against hidden opponents.
  This proficiency does not work against opponents who are out in the open and making no attempt to hide their actions. Failure indicates that the character senses nothing out of the ordinary and play continues normally.
• Hunting: When in wilderness settings, the character can attempt to stalk and bring down game. A proficiency check must be made with a -1 penalty to the ability score for every nonproficient
  hunter in the party. If the die roll is successful, the hunter (and those with him) have come within 101 to 200 yards (100+1d100) of an animal. The group can attempt to close the range, but a proficiency check must be made for each 20 yards closed. If the stalking is successful, the hunter automatically surprises the game. The type of animal stalked depends on the nature of the terrain and the whim of the DM.
• Tracking: The ability to follow an intended person for lengths of distance even without seeing the target.
• Trail Signs: A character with this proficiency can read symbolic messages indicated by an arrangement of stones or other physical objects. The character must designate the method of leaving messages preferred by his family, tribe, or culture. Typical methods include piling rocks, stacking branches, or building snow sculptures. When the character encounters such a message, he understands the meaning if he makes a successful proficiency check. ("A dragon dwells in these woods." "Eat the green berries for restored health.") The message is meaningless to characters without the trail signs proficiency. A character with the trail signs proficiency who uses methods other than the one encountered can try to read it at half the normal chance for success. This proficiency can also be used to identify the cultural group or tribe that has left a specific trail sign.
• Rope Use: This proficiency enables a character to accomplish amazing feats with rope. A character with rope use proficiency is familiar with all sorts of knots and can tie knots that slip, hold tightly, slide slowly, or loosen with a quick tug. If the character's hands are bound and held with a knot, he can roll a proficiency check (with a -6 penalty) to escape the bonds.
  This character gains a +2 bonus to all attacks made with a lasso. The character also receives a +10% bonus to all climbing checks made while he is using a rope, including attempts to belay (secure the end of a climbing rope) companions.
• Running: The character can move at twice his normal movement rate for a day. At the end of the day he must sleep for eight hours. After the first day's movement, the character must roll a proficiency check for success. If the die roll succeeds, the character can continue his running movement the next day. If the die roll fails, the character cannot use his running ability the next day. If involved in a battle during a day he spent running, he suffers a -1 penalty to his attack rolls.
• Endurance: A character with endurance proficiency is able to perform continual strenuous physical activity for twice as long as a normal character before becoming subject to the effects of fatigue and exhaustion. In those cases where extreme endurance is required, a successful proficiency check must be made. Note that this proficiency does not enable a character to extend the length of time that he can remain unaffected by a lack of food or water.

History

Parents: Both dead
Siblings: All dead
Childhood:
About one in ten half-orcs can pass for human, he could not. Left out in the woods and the wilds, he was taken up by a tribe of halfling plains-riders who thought him to be a curiosity. He grew in the tribe and grew some more, easily keeping pace with the 8 meal metabolism of the others and foraging for his own when extra hungry. His phenomenal strength lent him a place in the tribe, but his simpler than most mind meant he had no desires for chiefdom.

One day, the plains-riders came upon a Gnoll tribe and their overconfidence was their doom. It was a glorious battle and now the halflings ride across the black plains as stars in the sky, but Lob was not one of those. He awoke some days later with a great gash across his forehead but alive all the same. He burned his people as they were to do and wandered on his own, breaking from the circuit of his people to see the rest of the realm.

He came into sight of an adventuring party low on their luck and he brought them a whole elk that even the ranger hadn't been able to take down (to which the bard joked that he was the new animal companion for the ranger's lost wolf). They began to keep him like a pet and gave him his new name from the skull scar which he found good as his old name died with his people.

Adulthood:
The new family took him from woods to still water swamp where they sought out a black dragon and its treasure. The brackish trees were too thick to fly but not to climb as he made his way by branches when the dragon attacked. First it cunningly weakened the party with many animals of the swamp before striking. The party was doing well until the wizard was bitten by a snake and down for the count so Lob took the staff and swung it like a club across the dragons face.

The reverberation of the shattered staff loosing all of its stored energy was enough to end the fight as the beast collapsed. But, when it came time to divide the treasures, the in-fighting broke the party in two with Lob merely claiming a trophy of the dragon as his reward. The party split up in town after all was said and sold, enough for some to retire.

Special Moments:
* Mating with a battlerager, it left scars in ways he didn't know that could happen
* He has, questionably, gotten past his barbaric brute and taken up the ranger's path. He might be a Feralen, but still a ranger all the same.

Current Events:
The city was no place for Lob and so he had one of the fighters help him get his bone made into a serviceable weapon before he left with the groups Healer who chose to go on a pilgrimage to renew her faith and could use his strength. After a few temples, he pilgrimage has been made to pause with this new sickness rising. Since Lob is 'ever so good at finding things', the healer asked lob to help the children while she stays at this village to tend to the sick.

He gathered together with the rest of the ten who had sworn to the sick by finding rare ingredients for the cure. Their first act was to defend the village from raiders then take the attack to them in their camp, that nights celebration was interrupted by a black knight upon a hellhound. He took the hounds skin to add to his armor and a potion to enhance his club.

Leaving town they came upon a strange fog that scattered them to the winds where he found himself in an eyebite cavern. He slew one and took the body with him as he tracked his way back to the returning remainders of the group to find many had never made it back. The ten were now merely five as they made there way to the largest of port towns where they managed to barter and trade for the remaining items at robbery prices, but the children came first before their own rewards and only three returned back to the village as heroes for the children.

With the children saved, Lob traveled to look for some more like him, more orcs. Little did he know what fate has in store for him.

Psychological Attributes

Trait * Trait * Trait * Trait

Sexuality: Bisexual-male preference
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Minimal 2 paragraphs
Habits: Minimal 2
Hobbies: Heraldry, he like the etymology of the symbol choices used to define one self and thinks there is something to be learned of an a enemy in advance by knowing what they feel best represents them.
Fears:
Wizards (he has seen good people killed over the whims of a reckless wizard)
Claustrophobia (having been swallowed whole by a monster, he never wants to experience that again)
While not a fear, he has been conditioned to follow the orders of superiors under pain of punishment which can lead to unreasonable responses.
sight,sound,smell,touch,taste,
Likes: Simple farmers food, a bushel from the garden and a loaf of black bread leaves him happy. He likes earthtones of green and brown more than any other, where other knights have bright contrasts, he is the subtle upon the field. As expressed earlier, he favors men and muscular women to bed because of the physical ideals of what he was raised as 'good' in physical perfection, so he seeks it in his lovers. He loves the smell of gathered herbs and will often anoint himself in lavender or rosemary oil when forced to courtly presentation. His favorite sound is either the sound of a storm in full swing with sheets of rain and crashing thunder or the pounding of a drum circle also in full swing. lastly, the empherical umami, he savors the presence of holy sites, even if it is not his god. Just the proof of the gods puts him at great ease.
Dislikes: While by no means a vegetarian, he dislikes overly seasoned and complex foods. Alongside his sensitive vision for being able to see in low light and darkness, he prefers to avoid bright and stark colors, a contrast to his interests in heraldry but a suffered dislike otherwise avoided all the same. Feminine men and overly 'wench-like' women hold no appeal to him, they spend too much time preening and unwilling to do great things with their opportunity. Between the fear of wizards and a dislike of complex foods, he finds himself almost willing to suffer to avoid alchemist labs for the acrid stench of their experiments. It is worth to note he makes a distinction between 'alchemists' and 'herbalists'. Utter quiet is quite is damning to him, he would rather listen to the sounds of someone being tortured than forced to suffer silence. With great reiteration, places of great arcane power make his skin crawl like wizard towers and summoning circles put his teeth on edge.

Possessions Generally On Person: Clothing, coin purse, money, etc

• Money: 100 GP in assorted jewelry, feastware, copper pot, and other trading trinkets more than cold coins.
• Clothes: Brown burlap brothers robe over woodland 'leathers' of goatskin.
• Drum: Small instrument used to pass the time
• Sickle: Decent functional blade for polite reasons and gathering plants
• Book and charcoal: as much a diary or journal as it is a doodle pad
• Black iron tankard: For drinking.

Weapons: Personal weapons, no magically enhanced items

• Scythe: His primary weapon that once belonged to a cleric of Chauntea who fell in battle beside him. The scythe lets him use his full body with each swing while keeping an ionic look for his future fame. They fought beside one another dealing with a goblinoid threat and the cleric fell to a lucky javelin throw.
• Throwing axe: His primary offhand and ranged weapon, allowing him to put his strength on a ranged targets. It was a piece given to him from a dwarf bard for having the courage to stand against a tree with an apple on his head while the stoutman did party tricks.

Armor: Base armor only, no magically enhanced items

• Ankheg Armor: Platemail he earned after getting swallowed whole by the beast. His mother had sent him out to protect some farmers from loosing cattle and bit off more than he could chew. His saving grace was that it had spit up its stomach acid earlier in the fight so when he was swallowed, he wasn't bathing in its juices as he cut his way free with his throwing axe.
• Shield: His heavy wooden shield is little more than a stacked pair of barrel lids, a keepsake from his first tavern brawl, he has since put fittings to to protect himself properly in the future. He most often uses the shield with his throwing ax when his scythe is of no use to him. People joke that since it came from a gnomish brewer, the wood must be potion-proof, he hasn't tested this theory.

Animals:

• Moose: What else could hold someone like him and not snap its spine? Draft horses are in short supply in the forest.

Magical Items: Limit 2 low level

• Holy Symbol: He wears a holy symbol of Heironeous rather than Mielikki, as a tournament of arms was fought to a draw against another paladin. He offered to exchange holy symbols as a gesture of brothers in arms and was received with zeal. This item lets him turn others as if he were a higher level cleric.
• Rings of readiness:This magical item consists of two plain iron rings, one
  suitable to be worn on a finger and one larger, some 2" in diameter. The larger ring is to be placed on some item. It can be sewn into or bolted onto a set of armor; it can be placed upon the pommel of a weapon (in which
  case it shrinks until it fits snugly); it can be attached to any item of personal gear weighing less than 100
  lbs. When the larger ring is attached to an object, and the smaller ring is worn by a character, the character needs only to utter the magical word inscribed on the inside of the smaller ring. When he does, if the other ring is within 10 miles, it will instantaneously transport that object to the character.
  If the item attached to the other ring is a weapon, it will appear in his hand. If the item is a suit of armor, it appears on the character; if he is already wearing a suit of armor, it appears next to him. If the item is something else, it appears in a fashion dictated by the DM; a crown will appear on the character's head, while a sewing machine would appear next to him, for instance. If the item attached to the larger ring is more than 10 miles away, nothing happens.
  The use of the rings must be announced before initiative in the combat turn. Use of the rings takes no time. The character calls out the magic word before initiative; then, later in the turn, when his actions come up, the item in question appears. If a character finds the smaller ring without the larger one, then he can summon whatever object the larger one is attached to, even if it is not his. These rings recognize no single owner. An
  interesting quest in a campaign might be for a character to find the smaller of a set of rings and have to wander to find the larger ring and summon it and its object to him; remember, it only works within 10 miles of the summoner. The magic only works if the item attached to the larger ring is inanimate. Living things are not transported. Once summoned, these objects may not be sent back. This is a one-way trip. The rings may be used any number of times; they do not wear out.
  Many heroes use this magical item so that they never lose their weapons. If the hero finds his sword disarmed in combat, he can call it to his hand on the next round, without wasting the time to go get it. Some con artists use it to run a scam: They'll secretly attach the larger ring to some great item of treasure, sell it to a dealer, ride out of town with their money and then summon the treasure back. This is a good tactic until the vengeful dealers catch up with them. This magical item may be used by characters of any class. Rings of readiness cannot be used on the same weapon as a bracelet of charms.
  (willing to reduce this from 0 miles to only 1 mile to reduce the cost.)

Biography:
His story starts with his ancestors. His great grandmother was a paragon of elven ways and life, a paladin to Mielikki who rode a unicorn into battle. But it seems her pride was his doom, a moments weakness with a human ranger whom she had thought was a blessing of the elven gods resulted in a half-elven child.

That half elven boy still had the spark of nature and became a ranger like his father. A good and noble position, the best a human could achieve in elven eyes, but his every breath was a reminder to his mother of a moment when she was less than the ideal elf. That stain spread when he in turn fell in love with a human, just as his mother had before him. This child was almost considered illegitimate as a full human if not for the druidic magic that flowed in her veins and the almond eyes.

The final insult came twenty years ago when the druid human made peace with the orcs trying to deforest the trees on the edge of the wood. A bargain was truck to lead the orcs to naturally fallen trees within the forest for their use or to hew diseased wood to prevent infecting others. This bargain was consummated with the shaman of the orcs and a half-orc child was born of the union.

He was nearly killed on the spot if not for divine intervention, a birthmark of a unicorn rests atop his breast showing him to be gifted by Mielikki, just as his great grandmother. She watches and waits while showering him with back-handed praise as she begrudgingly trains him with nearly suicidal missions, If he dies, she wins, if he lives, she corrects him on everything he did wrong.

So, umm.... yah, after reading the IC, I'm putting this out there:

Keystone's chi infused arseblast has taken on proportions not intended at time of creation. This was supposed to be, to quote the Bard, "...full of sound and fury, signifying nothing." Something to break the ice and give a little insight on my style of writing and my character's odd proclivities. A bit of flavor text to separate Keystone from the standard "Huge Guy That Hits Things" type.

Now that the musings of the other players on the matter have been made canon by the approval, and later incorporation of NPC/environmental reactions by the GM, this is out of my hands. This is out there, to be dealt in the IC, without possibility of ignoring it and carrying on.

To put it simply, I cannot un-fart it.

I am left with perilously few options. It must be dealt with, obviously, so Keystone will have to do just that. But for the future? This gaseous expulsion created a shockwave, destroyed things, and let loose "The Kraken", which according to our benevolent GM is a smell capable of inspiring a human stampede and force people who failed their saving throws to vomit uncontrollably. From one floor away.

This seems impossible without the use of magic. So, does this mean that Keystone now has access to the arcane arts, of a sort?

---

Keystone's Arseblast
Range: 0 Components: S, M
Duration: 1d4 days/level Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: Yes Saving Throw: 1/2

When cast, this produces the same effects as a Shout, Gust of Wind, and Stinking Cloud spells at listed parameters, above. If within the vicinity of an open flame, it does damage comparable to a Fireball at listed Area of Effect in a cone shape, starting at point of origin. Save vs Breath Weapon for half damage. Somatic component is the dropping of trou and flexing of abdominal muscles. Material component is Roughage. Lots of roughage.

---

Or, conversely, does this signal the beginnings of his more mystical Monk abilities coming to the forefront? That being the case, is this a technique he can teach others?

Now, I'm going to address this issue IC, with tact and civility (kinda), but if Keystone has this ability now we're going to have to establish some definitive rules. I welcome suggestions, and just for now, will be keeping his new power set aside for appropriate situations.

Like Diplomacy checks. Or coitus.

[Lady Absinthia]

I'll put it simply - You said you released the Kraken - So going off that, one does not simply release the Kraken and not expect some massive level of devastation to be left in its wake. You opened the door, as the Gm I just took it and ran with it. (Or from it, which ever way you wish to look at it.)

On a personal note, I know your "Kraken" release irl, and it has sent me running and gagging from half a room away. So.... :p I'm just going off personal experience my dear Sigil. Granted this isn't as horrific a response as say Yondar Sex Rocks concert in Subtly Inc, or that frog wanting to "make ribbit" with your svirfneblin, or even Obygns entry to "the house" but hey I work with what I've got.

As far as Keystones Arseblast goes, go talk to the monks, trust me.

[Lady Absinthia]

Oh and had you been the gm and I the one that released the Kraken you know damn good and well you would have had it cause a blast out the side of the same tavern and I would have went spilling out of the tub from a hole in the second story Cleveland style!
