D&D Meta Thread

[Alice]

Ashley approaches Sandra, reaching to pat her on the nose and the mule attempts to bite her hand.
"Oh really? You wanna go there bub?" She leans in the disinterested mule, peering at her right in the eye... and pulls out a candy.
The mule's disposition changes immediately as she gingerly and gently tries to take the candy from Ashley's hand, leaving her fingers intact.
"So you are smarter than you look. Be nice to your auntie Ashley and there's more where this came from, got it?" Ashley lets her have the sweet sugary treat and Sandra looks happier for it. Sandra then nuzzles Ashley and allows her nose to be pet.
Sophia notices the interaction and immediately clops over, demanding attention. She bows her head to Ashley and bumps Sandra out of the way. If a mule could smile and try to act cute, Sophia was the expert.
"Oh so you're just happy to see me right Sophia?" Ashley reaches to pet her nose and Sophia eyes her pack. Ashley pulls out another candy and Sophia stomps her hoof in excitement. The exchange is made and a lifetime of love from a molly mule named Sophia is granted.

Alice nimbly moves between Sophia and Ashley, bows her head and tries to act cute as well, pointing at her open mouth with a smile
Hey, for a candy you can pet my nose too!

No candy?

[Alice]

So the candy is just for mules?
You didn't react to me laughing at Miss Toadbottom's name either!

Regarding the story, where do Cat and me separate? After the Alchemist's shop? I assumed this but I'll correct it if wrong
We gotta make some exchanges because Cat is carrying some things that need to be sold. Are Yulya and Ashley buying something? You need money? Yulya is currently almost broke with 2sp, only Cat and me have more money.

[Wofl]

Alice, bruh, I don't make fun of people.

You want candy that bad? Are you going to bite my hand otherwise? Are you that easy? Can you pull a cart?

[Joy the DM] the post was modified to capture this interaction,  if you see anything else I miss, please continue to point it out.

[Alice]

Alice, bruh, I don't make fun of people.

No problem, I can teach you how to stop being woke- for a candy!
But I'm not an addict like Yulya, I won't beg or do tricks! Host tried to do that with me - without success. No wait, I did tricks but did not beg.

Technically you and Yulya would have to sell items first so you have money and space to make the purchases. Like this Yulya won't need money either.
And I'm not too keen to pick a fight now, remember Cat is towing the cart and if we leave this unsupervised, things will get stolen faster than in a supermarket in a majority black neighborhood.

[Wofl]

The order is not necessarily linear.

[Wofl]

Yulya doesn't necessarily have to say how much she needs, I'll presume she knew. I'll give you a final tally of how much you have left in the end.

Cat doesn't know how many there are hidden, only that there's at least one.

Patience my friend, we are thinking hard about what to do. Alice is right, the situation is unfavorable. The potential enemy knows the environment and with the cart Cat cannot move freely. I doubt anyone would straight on attack a huge Barbarian like Cat carrying a Greatsword but a distraction might be enough to steal something from the cart Or it may be someone without any hostile intentions at all. We are playing to have fun so I'm with Alice, a stink bomb is the best non-lethal option. We have not caused trouble for Freya today so go with it!

[Alice]

Haa, if I can't throw a stink bomb, I'm gonna get naked. There's no sign outlawing this, right?

[Alice]

Alice carefully crafts a brilliant plan of surprise and counter-attack, by becoming a golden translucent slime, in broad daylight, in front of dozens of witnesses, and sneaking around in plain sight.

In the resulting commotion, four thuggish men do step out of the shadows to see the oddity of a wild slime-like creature snaking about the market as women scream and guards are called.

Aw come on, it was a dark lonely alley in your picture.


So your pics aren't to be taken literally but mine will?
Yes yes we should have asked about the surroundings but if we go that way each round will take a week.
Anyway, it's a success, ambush averted.

[Wofl]

I sometimes wonder about Joy's sense of humor. It was funny though.

[Joy] Clearly you can't expect much privacy in a marketplace in Neverwinter on a nice day on Monday around lunch.

[Joy] I would at least expect some better explanation. There was no roll to make.

[Joy] Even lightly obscured areas need a skill to hide effectively, this wasn't that. The archway was, but once you're in the archway, they already know you're there.

[Joy] you hid behind the cart, you are hidden. You slime around the cart, you are no longer hidden.

[Alice]

Haa, if only I was in better shape I could have mimicked the wall or cobblestones. Or just water. Being yellow was a bit of an oversight.
Whatever, let's have some fun with the guards (hopefully).

[Kashtan]

lmao censored naked Alice?better than killing 4 'innocent' men at a market with dozens of witnesses i guess

[Alice]

We can't have woflo swatted now, we need this place. So we gotta censor a few things.

>don't steal the book, Ashley
>Ashley steals the book
Ashley's the 'friend' who incites you to steal, then runs with the loot while you get caught
Don't let this slide, Yulya!

>summon the Winged Creature
Great idea, what could possibly go wrong?
You should read the fine print though, summoning a Greater Demon requires a sacrifice an that's usually the Summoner.
