Let's fuckin gooooo

I've been looking forward to this.

Things we were going to do but have forgotten at some point:

-Have Mike talk to Surrey about getting her potion ingredients since he has a bunch of rare animal bits.
-I swear there was another thing but I forgot.

You are in your room, writing your current objectives in your JOURNAL and taking stock of how much weaponry you carry these days. It's a lot.

You should be approaching your destination soon, so you should think about assembling a party and making sure you have everything you need.

>>4697953
Is it morning or noon? If so, let's grab some breakfast/lunch.

>>4697953
We should probably think about calling a meeting to discuss away team composition, get some folks' input on the mission at hand.

>>4697964
Joey is mandatory, Mike is pretty much essential if we want to harvest stuff from the dwarf, so... we got a limited choice to make.

>>4697965
So it's between Highball, Burstock and Richter then, which is still a pretty tough choice.

>>4697965
>>4697909
We currently have Burstock, after a bit of discussion last thread. I maintain that her ability to top off mana and HP is critical, especially considering the amount of mana that can be burned against high-threat enemies.

>>4697968
I love Highball and all, but she's probably not the right choice for this mission. As for the others... how are we doing, potion-wise? Unless can make sure we have enough healing in liquid form, we're gonna need Burstock.

>>4697953
Update with the team, yeah!

>>4697972
>>4697973
Joey, Mike and Burstock seems to be the consensus so far, then? We confident we'll be able to put down enough damage to take this dwarf out?

>>4697953
Gather all adventuring party members and Lumsden in boardroom for a briefing.
Establish where we are going and why.
Objective 1: Collect bounty.
Objective 2. Harvest potion ingredients from dwarf.
Establish emergency procedures. What to do if party members are KO'd and you are last one standing (call in an evac, etc).
Suggest that anyone who remains on the ship takes few moments to familiarize themselves with the cannon in the stern of the ship in case of an emergency.

>>4697953
Most importantly, put on your LUCKY SOCKS!

>>4697980
Hells Heart doubles damage, Mike and Joey both have stunning attacks and high-damage attacks. The only issue is sustainability, which Burstock solves.

>>4697980
>We confident we'll be able to put down enough damage to take this dwarf out?
Mike's no Richter, but he's no slouch either. Still, I hope Burstock can recreate her trick of using BODILY BETRAYAL on a dwarf once every two turns, I think combining that with KNEECAP can be very important to survive this.

I don't know if it'll matter, but I noticed in previous threads people seemed very reluctant to use bullets as they're not unlimited. However we have like 30+ of the basic bullets so I just wanna put it out there that if we get into a fight with some less dangerous enemies that we don't wanna spend mana on, we could probably use our revolver more freely than we have been.

It is late afternoon, but you don't really feel hungry after all the waffles.
>>4697964
You call into the BOSS HORN for everyone to meet you in the board room.

>>4697984
You switch out your regular thin socks for lucky bamboo socks. Once per in game day, you can re-roll any roll.

You stroll into the BOARD room where everyone is mingling and discussing things. Burstock is picking something of Mikes shoulder as they smile at each other.

Gilcrest and Highball appear to doing locker room talk while Richter pretends not to eavsdrop.

Karl is nodding thoughtfully to whatever Jones is saying.

Surrey looks pensive as ever and is fidgeting.

Lumsden raises a hand as you enter and everyone quiets down. Highball gets everyone to face you.

>>4698465
"Thanks for coming everyone. I wanted to gather everyone here so we are all on the same page."
"Firstly, we've done some renovations and now have a lounge with amenities of polite society. Feel free to go there and make use of whatever there is if you are done with work or just need to relax for a 10 or 20."
"Main topic today is bounty hunting. Nearby communities have come together to offer a bounty of a troublesome ancient dwarf and we are planning to collect. This also offers us an opportunity to advance our other endeavors by acquiring ingredients for our potion development side of business."

Explain that right now the away team will be Joey, Mike and Burstock, unless other compelling arguments are made. Does anyone in the boardroom have questions, concerns or something to add?

>>4697987
Spamming debuffs and stuns, good move.
>>4698543
Seconded

>>4698543
Sounds good. Make a mental note to check out the new rec room after this meeting, see what goodies the Baron has thrown in for us.

...but my name isn't Joey Donuts...

>"Firstly, we've done some renovations and now have a lounge with amenities of polite society. Feel free to go there and make use of whatever there is if you are done with work or just need to relax for a 10 or 20."

Richter clasps her hands together, joyfully.

Karl looks at Highball and gestures to himself, Highball nods at him.

>"Main topic today is bounty hunting. Nearby communities have come together to offer a bounty of a troublesome ancient dwarf and we are planning to collect. This also offers us an opportunity to advance our other endeavours by acquiring ingredients for our potion development side of business."

Surrey stops fidgeting, she looks like she want to say something but stops herself.

>Explain that right now the away team will be Joey, Mike and Burstock, unless other compelling arguments are made. Does anyone in the boardroom have questions, concerns or something to add?

Surrey starts again but stops.
Lumsden pats her on the back.

Surrey speaks up
"Please. Just...be careful."

Mike steps forward.
"It'll be nice to get myself a little more straight combat experience. I feel like I let you guys down last time"

Burstock does one of her dangerous stretches.
"I'll keep you boys safe regardless. Let's bag us a beard with feet."

Lumsden nods to your party

"If you get in a real fix, just holler at me via the mutterbottle, I'll drop down the rope ladder and we can bug out."

>>4698670
"Hey, Surrey. I value our lives more than some cash and ingredients. If things start to go south we'll call for an extraction. We're not going to be reckless about this." Show her the speed loaders filled with Dwarfstopper rounds. "We've been spending time getting ready for this, we're not going in half-cocked."

>>4698670
>>4698676
This comes off too callous and overconfident to my liking, but I agree we should impress our commitment to safety over monetary gain.

Nod to everyone. "I've invested great deal in means to keep us safe on this outing. Everything else is secondary to our well being. We can extract and come back some other time if we have to. Nothing will be gained by needles rushing."

>>4698683
Was meant to be reassuring, that we weren't being overconfident and have actually been planning this out.

>>4698797
That's fair enough.

>>4698836
Text is terrible for getting across tone, I shoulda been more descriptive to show what I was going for.

Surrey finds your youthful, straightforward confidence to be reassuring.

Lumsden says she will bring the ship around to the clearest ingress that the forest has.

Ranger, Healer, Wizard you descend the ladder and step into the clearing of Jarka.

Burstock smiles.
"This place is a LOT bigger than I thought..."

MIke nods.

You have the forest floor.
You're not gonna need your famous charm for this one.

>>4699300
>>4699300
I suggest like we did Kiani Forest, we explore the edges and then move further in. Ask what Mike can hear to each direction around us if he uses LISTEN UP ability?

How often do we want to use Grink before moving between clearings? Any opinions on that fromm Anons

Mike listens in all directions.

'Low hissing to the north...clicking to the east..nothing to the west. No signs of a dwarf. Not in the immediate vicinity."

Mike crumbles some soil in his hands.

"But he's been here."

Mike looks around, pensive. Mike flicks out a telescoping skewer and plunges it into the ground. He draws it back up and studies the samples on it.

"He's probably been all over this forest. Theres a good chance he's got tunnels, entries and exits wound all through this place. It's going to be tough to corner him while he has that."

Burstock sucks her teeth and shrugs.

>>4699408
May as well take a path of less resistance - go west, maybe?

>>4699408
We have dynamite. Can we use it to collapse the tunnels and leave him vulnerable? He'd have to dig new tunnels and that takes time.

>>4699413
West is fine, but no sound at all can be a sign of trouble in itself. We mustn't become complacent.

>>4699408
>Theres a good chance he's got tunnels, entries and exits wound all through this place. It's going to be tough to corner him while he has that.

I seem to remember the Blooch, Dr. Ash, mentioned that dropping some dynamite down a dwarf hole would be a good way to collapse it. If we find an entrance to those tunnels we might be able to seal them off that way. And if we're lucky we might even be able to drop it down the bastard's throat.

>>4699413
Seconded.

You begin to walk west, you turn to Mike.

>"We have dynamite. Can we use it to collapse the tunnels and leave him vulnerable? He'd have to dig new tunnels and that takes time."

Mike nods and smiles a little.

"Yeah,that would definitely work. He'll be like antlion; dangerous but too used to one form of hunting, we collapse his tunnels and keep him above ground he'll be slower AND out of practice. Five sticks per entrance should do it. We just have to find them before he finds us too often."

Burstock stops suddenly and pulls on both your and Mikes arms.

"Watch your step."

That hole looks big enough.

>>4699486
Ah, bingo! How much dynamite we got? And can you tell if he's moving around down there?

>>4699486
Speak of the devil.

>>4699486
"Thanks for the catch, Burstock. We need to find these, but not by falling in them."

These holes are pretty big. Can we mutterbottle Silver Lining and ask if they can be on a lookout for approximate locations for any holes like this. They should have pretty good view from the air even if they can't give completely accurate estimations.

>>4699504
QM: I could have this wrong, but I reckon you have 20 sticks on you.

>>4699518
Let's hope there are no more than four holes to fill or we'll have come up with other means to collapse the tunnels.

>>4699486
Well, let's seal 'er up.

>>4699550
One thing is that dynamite, er... tends to be noisy. If we're going to do a demolition, I'd prefer a safe distance.

>>4699603
We could use a long fuse. Or just drop it straight down, enough dirt'll muffle anything.

>>4699603
Ain't nothing noisy about dynamite. Now explosions, those're pretty loud.

>"Thanks for the catch, Burstock. We need to find these, but not by falling in them."

Burstock nods as Mike crouches by the hole.

"Yep. Can't even see the bottom. At least that'll muffle the explosions. Should cave in nicely."

>These holes are pretty big. Can we mutterbottle Silver Lining and ask if they can be on a lookout for approximate locations for any holes like this. They should have pretty good view from the air even if they can't give completely accurate estimations.

You call into the mutterbottle. Lumsden responds that the forrest is too dense from the air and she can't see anything from up here.


>"One thing is that dynamite, er... tends to be noisy. If we're going to do a demolition, I'd prefer a safe distance."

Mike nods thoughtfully.

"It might be okay. This forest isn't really known for having any real ternion presence. Mostly beasts. Not the sort of things that investigate an explosion."

Burstock nods

"I heard that it's also a dumping ground of sorts. Dead bodies. Failed experiments."

Mike rubs his chin and sighs

"That follows."

You lob in five well placed lit stick of dynamite.
There is a distant, resonant thud and the hole closes over.

>>4699735
1/?? tunnels collapsed. Time to move east.
>"I heard that it's also a dumping ground of sorts. Dead bodies. Failed experiments."

>"Sorry, dumping ground for who?"

Burstock glances to the side
"Any one who needs it, I guess. But I mean - even before this place was an elder dwarfs new roost it was known to be full of horrible things. Harpies. Kaprosuchuses. Dissolver Beetles."

Mike winces and shakes his head.
"Leave a body here and their won't even be bones left. Everyone from goblins to pollies could be getting read of evidence here."

Burstock takes a small pull from a hipflask.
"And its kind of an ongoing belief that any time the scientists and alchemists at the Totenzaster Institute invent something that's meant to benefit the GTU but is instead an abomination - they ditch it out in the free lands. Someone elses problem."

Mike gets a rueful grin
"Didn't they try to invent a trainable creatures to eat corpses to clean up after the war? And then they couldn't tell the difference between a corpse and a living person? And then they escaped? And bred?"

Burstock does enormous finger quotes and affects an official sounding accent
"Obviously, we would never do something so incredibly irresponsible. This is merely a rumour spread to discredit us."

Mike and Burstock share a small laugh.

You head back east. You are back at the entrance

>>4699852
Not sure why Anon wanted to go east when we could have kept going west. What was the plan?

I guess we'll keep heading east. I assume we emptied our Grink machine in preparation for this so I suggest we down some Grink Rak now. The +5 to initiative and attack twice once per combat effect lasts thee combat encounters and not just three rounds, right?

Question for QM: Could we HELLS HEART the dynamite so we can get same effect with less sticks used? We don't know how many holes there are after all.

>>4699918
QM: you would only be able to hells heart one of the five sticks, and as dynamite is not intended for combat it would not to a huge amount.

I will let you know now. There are only 3 tunnels to collapse.

SO you've done 1/3 tunnels.

>>4699950
That does clear things up. Thanks!

>>4699918
>I guess we'll keep heading east. I assume we emptied our Grink machine in preparation for this so I suggest we down some Grink Rak now. The +5 to initiative and attack twice once per combat effect lasts thee combat encounters and not just three rounds, right?

You and your team head east. You pop the cap of some Grink Rak and chug it down. That's actually one of the less disgusting grinks. For three separate combats you will get one double attack and +5 to your initiative.

Good thing too, as you have just stumbled upon

2 Goblin Cutpurses
and
1 Goblin Yegg

They don't seem to like you.

Roll initiative, and don't forget to add 5. Highest wins! First in best dre

The goblins prove too spry, the cutpurses stab at you and Mike respectively. Your armour absorbs a lot of the damage, but it doesn't feel good.

The Yegg cackles and chucks an enormous bomb , doing damage to all 3 of you.

The grink rak does 3d6 damage to you.

Your move.

>>4700020
Things have gone tit's up, so I'd say we go Hammertime, put two bullets in each of them and then use our second attack for the combat to cast blast.

>>4699986

So if Highball were in the party would an attack have been less likely or talking it out an option?

>>4700028
>>4700028
I'd be ok with this so long as our current load doesn't have any dwarf or trollstopper rounds in it. CF can we get a look at what rounds we currently have loaded?

>>4700039
According to the journal in the wiki we currently have normal bullets loaded in all the chambers of the revolver.

Thanks RNjesus

I was waiting for CF to call for a roll, but I guess this is what we are going with.

QM: You're welcome to use your lucky socks re -roll if you like. But this day is just getting started.

>>4700548
If you like, from now on, I will make a post that people must anchor to with their special attack rolls, so we can formalise it.

But if I do that then that would mean anyone who enthusiastically declares an attack and doesn't wait for the post can't be counted even if they succeed. Up to the people.

QM: Also, whether you re-roll or not, do you want to declare actions for your team members?

They will act without you, but if you have ideas, now's the time.

You (joey) also have 2 attacks once per the next three combats, so if you simply want to attempt hammertime again without using your socks, now is the time for that also.

>>4700636
I'm down with that. And I think we should save our socks for now.

>>4700643
As for teammate actions, for now let's say Burstock goes with Healing Burst and Mike Arrow the Yegg. And might as well use our one-per-battle-for-three-battles double action to try Hammertime again. End it early if we can.

Anchor post for a second attempt at Hammertime.

First in, best dressed.

Here we go! Redemption!!

Rolled 42 (1d100)

>>4700655

>>4700636
I don't think it'll make a huge difference what dice is counted. As long as no one starts pulling triggers before next action is agreed on it should be fine.

>>4700643

Can Mike choose not to reload KARUBIN until end of combat if he uses it? That's 80 points of damage once per combat if he doesn't need to keep reloading.

Next round if all of the party is still standing and we are still on the back foot we should have Mike use cloudjar so we can book it. Running away is better part of survival.

Initially forgetting to take the safety of your revolver, you then fan the hammer , delivering two shots to head and heart of each goblin. Cut down before they can even react.

You find yourself pulling the trigger even though you're empty, your breathing is ragged.

Mike eases the gun down and puts an arm around you.
"Whoa whoa....eeeasy there. You did great."

You nod.

Burstock heals the party and drinks a mana potion.


You loot 8 gold, 4 dagges and a knock off zippo lighter from the corpses

>>4700663
>Can Mike choose not to reload KARUBIN until end of combat if he uses it? That's 80 points of damage once per combat if he doesn't need to keep reloading?

QM: Mike would find it against his beliefs and very distressing to not keep his rifle loaded in a combat situation but if you insist, he will do this.

>>4700727
Have Joey grimace.
"I admit I panicked. They beat us to a draw."
Eject brass casings and reload 6 normal bullets.

>>4700727
Reload our bullets.
Can we also do some cool tricks reloading to look cool?

>>4700745
I think cool tricks could be useful in social encounters when we need to charm and intimidate. If we don't know any now, maybe we could learn later.

While you don't do anything truly spectacular, you manage to just grab a hand full of bullets, click your revolver open and have the cartridges almost fall into the chamber while you don't look and manage to maintain conversation. You make it look very cool and casual.

"How are our resources looking?" you ask, very cool.

Mike LISTENS UP

"Low hissing and heavy tread to the east. To the north..."

Mike looks confused then listens again

"Conversation. They're speaking ternion standard, I think. But I can't make out what they're saying."

>>4700844
>Low hissing and heavy tread
That sounds like a dwarf. You said we should avoid it until we'd collapsed more of it's tunnels, so I guess north it is.

>>4700844
Any chance we can try and sneak north, or at least close enough so we can hear what they're saying without being spotted?

>>4700856
Gonna second that.

Hey CF, are goblins a ternion race? For the purpose of Burstock's bodily betrayal spell?

>>4700860
Ternion = Human, Orc, Elf, Grel or Elk

>>4700860
>>4700870
Bodily Betrayal worked on dwarves in Kiani forest. Make of that what you will.

>>4700870
Ah, okay. I saw that under the ability but wasn't sure if it was a complete list or just a list of the most common. Y'know, like, how Hold Person works on pretty much any non-undead humanoid in D&D. Guess it's a lot more restricted than that.

Mike gently grabs your upper arm

"That's not a dwarf, Joonda. That's some kind of beast. Sad fact of the matter is, until we get those tunnels closed...we're never getting the drop on this dwarf."

Mike taps his ear

"Even with these bad boys."

>>4700896
We've already established that anyone comes to this forest to rid evidence, or to hunt the bounty like us. Whoever is in the north and either of these options will not be thrilled to see us, but they could offer us intel on those tunnel locations.

>>4700860
>>4700876
It would work, yes, but it might cost her more mana. Or she could only do it once every two turns.

so when will the novel adaptation come around? and then the manga adaptation and then the anime?

>>4700896
I'm still down with checking north first.

>>4700908
This is a good point. Worst comes to worst we end up in a fight, which is kinda what we came here to do anyway. Bring on the XP and loot!

>>4700859
You have an insufficiently stealthy team to sneak as a group, but we will head North if there is no disagreement

Burstock shrugs
" I have a feeling that's not a good thing."

As you walk into a clearing, the three people who were talking stop their conversation and turn to you. The two in tank suits raise their hammers and step towards you but the, what you assume to be a grel wizard, stays them.

The grell wizard surveys your team for a moment, unsure. Not upset.

He eventually talks:

"I know there is a place for everyone..."

>>4700932

Is that the Old Guard slogan? Shit, what's the correct response?

>>4700932
Oh boy. That sounds like the first half of a passphrase to see if we're someone he's supposed to meet, or otherwise determine if we're cool. Uhhhh I think maybe that's the Old Guard's phrase?

If what Dirtbag said was true, then Old Guard is bunch of minmaxing zealots. If we can bullshit some advantage over them then I'd take the opportunity.

Getting intel out of them was my idea. We can always stab em in the back later.

>>4700950
Doesn't hurt to try and find out more about their plans before we enact any more violence on them. This is an opportunity to fish for some information, which we can then later use to our advantage. We can always murder them after/if we end up blowing our cover.

As a wise man once said, information is ammunition.

The wizard grimaces slightly and has to calm the two soldiers again.

"Right. Not one of us."

He glances at Burstock
"Obvious in retrospect."

Burstock blows him a sarcastic kiss and he bristles.

"But - assuming you meant what you said you still have a good worldview."

The wizard gives a pursed, diplomatic smile.
"No need for unnecessary trouble then, yes? Not what we are here for. You go about your business and we will go on with ours."

One of the soldiers seems to be staring at Mike. Mike is staring back.

The wizard clicks his fingers getting the soldier to pay attention again.

The wizard beam at you.
"Off you go, then."

>>4700978
I guess we are doing this. Let's go.

>>4700982
It's alright, we've got a lot of potions. We can afford some fights. At least from my perspective we came here to generally fight and dungeon delve, not just kill the bounty specifically.

>>4700984
I suppose that's true. My worry is if Dirtbag got it right, then Old Guard is optimized either for combat or utility and these guys look like the former.

>>4700984
Alright anon! Time for your attack plan! remember if you're gonna kneecap, you gotta roll for it! Under 55 from memory.

>>4700982
In hindsight, it's a very well known phrase and incredibly obvious for the Old Guard, so it'd be really stupid as a passphrase.

I think we should use our second combat action right off the bat too. No point in saving it since we lose it at the end of combat anyway otherwise.

Rolled 2, 6, 6, 6, 1, 4 + 20 = 45 (6d6 + 20)

>>4700987
That's fair. I'm not saying I think this fight will be easy, just that I think we should accept the inevitability of fights before we find the Dwarf. I don't think we'd be getting to him without other combat, unless we very specifically kitted out for stealth, which we did not do.

>>4700990
Uhhhh let's try to Hell's Heart Blast the group. Blast ignores armor and those two guys have pretty heavy armor. Mike Karubin the mage, since he might resist magic and doesn't seem to have high armor to resist boolet. Burstock Bodily Betrayal one of the guards.

>>4700990
Kneecap sounds fine. Second attack should probably be to cast Blast on the tanks since Blast ignores armor and we've been told what tank armor can do.

>>4701003
I think we need to kneecap the wizard first in case he has FIZZLE at the ready.

>>4701007
Ah fuck me, sorry 'bout that. CF quoted my post and I kinda felt pressured to come up with a plan all of a sudden. That's entirely my bad.

I was thinking double action kneecap+bodily betrayal to stunlock all three of them.

>>4701003

The roll for kneecap is a 1d100, I'm afraid

Just to confirm, and sorry for the confusion, your plan is to use two attacks to kneecap the wizard and one of the soldiers and get Burstock to cast BODY BETRYAL on the third?

Just making sure.

You will have to roll for kneecap twice if that is the case.

As you were.

You nod thoughtfully and rub your chin, smiling back at the wizard.

>"Of course, sorry to..."

You quick draw your revolver and fire two smart shots into the wizard and one of the soldiers, catching them by surprise.

The wizard lets out a scream that would make Daniel Stern proud.

Burstock casts BODILY BETRYAL on the remaining soldier and Mike, thinking for himself uses his FIND A GAP move on the immobilised soldier. Poisoning them.

All the enemies miss their next turn, so you have the floor.

>>4701031
Hell's Heart Blast time, folks?

>>4701034
Sounds good to me, but I'd also suggest we first let Mike shoot the Wizard with BREAKER and if he drops dead, then we can be sure he can't counter spell our blast.

>>4701041
I'm fine with that.

>>4701041
Seems a tad overkill, but there is no kill like it.

>>4701047
If we really eant to overkill it, if wizard is still somehow alive after Mike does his thing, Burstock could cast smite on him to force him use his fizzle early, leaving him vunerable for the Hells Heart Blast.

Mike runs up to the wizard, pressing both barrels into his midsection and pulling the trigger. The wizard is basically cut in half, and can only watch in confused fury as his organs leave home.

Mike tumbles backwards

"Let 'em have it!!"

HELLS HEART BLAST!!

You unleash a truly excellent hells heart blast, all but disintegrating the soldiers and the remains of the wizard.

A howling echo from your attack rumbles through the forest and your ears ring a little.

Combat is over.

Surrey asks you what they smell like. You confirm they smell like rotten wood, ozone and skunk.

Surrey pauses.

"Transmogs. Please get rid of them."

Mike digs a small grave for the bag of meat and the six vials of blood.
He makes a gesture above the grave.

Mike LISTENS UP
"SIlence to the east. Silence to the south. Clicking to the north. Hissing and heavy treads to the west. Multiples."

Aw shit!

>>4702123
QM: Okay anon, you have the floor. No rush

>>4702116
What even hurts slimes? Blast?

>>4702116
>>4702137
Right, so I seem to recall Highball saying that Slimes are nasty since normal attacks from slashing and bashing are not good and it can smother out fire. Burstock mentioned that Magic is not much better, but can slow a slime down. Their advice for dealing with a slime was to run away.

>>4702141
I mean, fuck, do we just cheese it? Would a cloudjar work on a slime? Do they 'see' in the traditional sense?

>>4702157
>>4702141
It can't be that fast, it doesn't have limbs. So we can either leave, or maybe try dynamiting it. It might just eat the dynamite though.

>>4702157
I mean there has to be something that actually works.
Later we might end up in a situation where we can't run away from a slime. Figuring out how to deal with them now could make a difference later.

Would Bodily Betrayal work on a slime? We could Hells Heart Blast it twice with our current combat buffs if we can just hold it in place.

>>4702157
QM:A cloud jar will allow you to flee from most enemies, slimes included. Some will follow you, but not a slime. Not one this size.

>>4702167
Bodily betrayal will do nothing to a slime.

>>4702180
Alright, how about this then. As anon pointed out, dynamite's fuse would get doused by the slime, but Boomflasks burn like napalm and don't need oxygen. Even if slime is too soft to break the flask or would absorb it, the ingredients will mix and thing will still go off, right?

>>4702167
>I mean there has to be something that actually works.
Does there? It's possible for a creature to exist that just doesn't really have any weaknesses and which it's just better to just run from than force oneself to deal with it. If you're worried about us possibly being in a situation where we *must* deal with one later, we could do some research on them after this dungeon.

>>4702188
That or we just throw it at the ground in front. Should still splash onto the slime, right?

>>4702198
>>4702188
Mike's a survivalist type, I bet he knows how to deal with these, if it's possible.

>>4702116
I say we just run for it.

>>4702116
nnnnnnope nope nope NOPE nope nope not fighting this nope nope nope NOPE

>>4702223
>>4702256
Aight. Let's make it official and take our business elsewhere. I suggest Joey uses his free combat action from Grink Rak to Cloudjar the area and main action to run away with everyone.

Any preferences which direction? I suggest south. I believe Mike heard low hissing and heavy tread from that clearing earlier when we were west of it.

>>4702198
>after this dungeon
This being the operative part. We can figure that one out when we don't have a more urgent and very dangerous enemy to fight afterwards.

>>4702263
Yup, seems to be the prevailing opinion. South works for me, if we're ready to run straight into combat again.

QM: cloud jar and run south, yes?

>>4702336
Yeah. We didn't plan on countering slimes, though in hindsight we should have picked up on the possibility from Burstock when she mentioned that Totenzaster was responsible for the Green Slime.

>>4702336
Sure. We can ask Mike how to deal with slimes once there isn't one right there.

>>4702348
If not Mike, then Doctor Ash for sure. Ash's lectures were fun to read too.

>>4702351
We should probably compile a list of shit to ask that guy next time we're there. Dude's a well of knowledge.

I think Burstock doing Smite is the best option. I suppose the truth is that she has limited offensive abilities beyond it and Bodily Betrayal.

>>4702513
That checks out. We're already covering the stunlocking option, so Smite seems like the way to go.

>>4702525
Also, Bodily Betrayal usually only works on Ternion races. Dwarves are a limited exception.

You deftly unload another shot into the creature, as does Burstock.

The creature is injured, but looks as though it can take a lot.


Mike has finished reloading.

It is your move!

>>4702559
We are out of knees to shoot, so we need to come up with a new plan. Mike did only half damage with his rifle, suggesting this thing has armor that is able to have damage.
Whatever we do, we need to punch through it's armor.

>>4702571
May be Find a Gap for Mike, then? Then we can hit it with Blast and Burstock can Smite it again. Just keep piling on damage till it drops, I guess.

>>4702574
Eh, not sure about Find A Gap. I don't know how much more this thing has in it. Maybe opening with it would have been good, but does it have another 4-5 turns in it to really make use of the poison? I think if we're gonna use his power points, Pin Down might be better, since it's another thing that will remove its ability to take a turn (well, effectively it can't take a turn since I don't think it has a ranged attack? Here's hoping.)

>>4702571
QM: Nah, you can keep on kneecapping if you like. This move works on things like ophiachans and stuff as well. It's kind of just the move name.

You were wise to assume it wouldn't work on the slime, though.

>>4702582
That's fair, I was just thinking in the direction of stuff that would ignore armour. For what it's worth I think we'd still get a good few turns out of it, this thing seems pretty beefy.

>>4702586
Fair. I still think Pin Down would be a better expenditure of a power point (assuming it lacks a ranged attack) since that gives us 2 turns of it not attacking.

>>4702583
That's tempting, but at some point that coinflip is going to come up tails.

If we do put this thing down we should ask Mike if he can harvest any of it.

I'm fine with Mike doing Pin Down, coupled with Smite and Blast.

>>4702596
Shall we HH burstock's Smite for a guaranteed 120?

It is still your turn.

I'm starting to think speedloading a trollstoppers and firing atleast a single shot could be warranted.

>>4702655
One last turn of damage? Smite plus a bullet from us plus Mike's Karubin?

>>4702625
Also, let's learn from what we did. We spent 20mp for 6d6+20 damage, for a total of 44. The average is 41 so we actually rolled well! The maximum we could do with it is 56. We could also have cast Hell's Heart for 16mp to double up Burstock's Smite, for a guaranteed extra 60 damage. Derp.

"Large chitinous creatures, about the size of medium sized hog. They can't chew their prey so they have a special gland under them that sprays a super heated, viciously caustic chemical. Melts down anything biological into a wet slurry they can then slurp up at their leisure. Hair. Bones. You name it."

Burstock gently takes Mikes pipe from him and takes a draw from it herself.
It's why forests that are filled with them are so beloved by scumbags with bodies to hide. Can't get a thanomagus to talk to a dead body if there's nothing left to talk to. Rumour is some of the higher ups in crime families even keep them on the premises. Got themselves a special 'dissolver beetle' pit."

Burstocks hand Mikes pipe back to him.
They'll either attack us by charging at us or spraying us. It's utterly random as to which. They're not exactly tacticians. They're pretty armoured too. Their shells will do a little more than out armour does."

Burstock bumps against Mike
"Importantly, Mister Shenandoah - how do we kill these things?"

Mike blushes a little, almost spluttering as he smokes.

"Oh..ah..there's no real trick to it. Just gotta hit 'em hard and fast. Don't let them overwhelm you. The tackle won't be too bad, but the spray is a doozy. It'd ignore some of our armour."

>So if Highball were in the party would an attack have been less likely or talking it out an option?

I am once more asking this question, as murdelizing 6 of HB's folk has to be niggling our conscience just a little bit, self defence and all. Maybe she could give us a charm to wear or something? Worth asking.

QM: Sorry. I thought I had responded to this, I can only assume my post got eaten or something.

The answer is, no. These goblins are likely here for potion ingredients or to hide bodies. Unless you're a goblin from their clan you're toast no matter who you are with.

If anything, they may target her for being an obvious dust-out now aligned with white eyes.

>>4702954
Is there anything that can be harvested from these beetles? Would you even want to? Would beetles hang around the dwarfs tunnel entrance? If they do we'll have to check it out and I think we'd rather not.

>>4702972
I mean, we've been blasting through enough humans and elves and I don't sense any niggling there. We're equal-opportunity murdelizers, after all.

>Is there anything that can be harvested from these beetles? Would you even want to?

Mike takes a thoughtful draw.
"Seems like collecting the sacks might be worth it, although I've heard the stuff inside them becomes neutralised without a certain motion or reaction from inside the body. Like it only activates when they sprey it or something. Still. Might be something interesting in there. I dunno what they're like to eat."

Burstock takes a hipflask out from her dress and swigs from it.
"A little dull honestly. They're not exactly rock lobster or wichetty grubs. Also, they're a bit like rabbit. if they're all you eat you'll still end up malnourished. Not enough to them to be worth the effort."

Mike blinks at Burstock, smiling.
"Didn't take you for a connoisseur of wild meat."

Burstock kicks her legs in the dirt and winks at Mike
"It's rough out there."

Mike nods, scratching his cheek.
"That's true"

Mike has recovered two action points

You clear your throat and they both look back at you.

>Would beetles hang around the dwarfs tunnel entrance?

Mike taps out his pipe.
"No, I don't think so."

QM: I just noticed that while I have been keeping track of thing here on my end I have neglected to show the mana drain on screen.

While it is your duty to be mindful of it, I do still need to do my part and I have not.

So, just this once I will draw attention to the fact that Joey currently only has 16/85 mana.

I will remember to show the mana values on screen from now on.

>>4703004
Thanks dude! Shall we Wrack four times to get some juice back, and have Burstock Absorb and Heal Thyself? What's Burstock's mana looking like at the moment?

>>4703004
I think this one we should drink a large manapot for. We already did Wrack earlier and it might be a good idea to space those out.

>>4703001
Then perhaps we should head east. We are on a mission after all.
