Some people need to make a hard choice when deciding which two karaoke streams they want to listen to. I have no such weakness: I have two ears for a reason.

The hard part about trying to play some politically savvy mastermind is the assumption that the world operates off real world politics and not your DM’s politics.

Don't put too much stock in prophesies. At best they're full of shit, but more often than not they're one of those self-fullilling kinds. Plan for what happens afterwards instead.

A character isn't deep or compelling just because you let them get hurt a lot, are always depressed, or do morally questionable things.

Bio



If you're here either you're wondering what I'm doing cause I need to post in your RP (In which case, calm yo tits, I'll get around to it), or you want to know who I am. So let's begin.

I'm a college age asian kid who has more heart than he has senses. I'm still working out this whole "adulthood" thing, so until then I just do what I feel I must. As far as personality and traits go, I'm not one for boasting. So if there's anything redeeming about myself you'd have to figure it out in person or by word-of-mouth. Generally however I'm rather perverted, in the best and worst ways. nothing is too much until I've crossed the line, and that just means I've started.

As far as Roleplays I like, I have a thing for fantasy, though I'm also good for some types of sci-fi, supernatural, Modern, and slice-of-life. If it's open and sandbox, I'll probably join it. Never really been a romantic, I often chose to sexualize any notion of romantic encounters I come across. I generally write at Casual quality, though I have no issues with Free-Level Rp/Players and I can hold my own in Advance.

"Indeed." Pylia says simply. It seemed like Ferric and Andras were about finished up. Before they came over, Pylia put a reassuring hand on your shoulder. "If... If it makes you feel any better, as you might've read about the story of Orchid, everyone is capable of good. And so... Those who do evil... Must face the consequences of their actions. Don't let it worry you." The way Pylia said this, it seemed more like she was trying to assure herself. Either way, with the path cleared the party continued forward. By now Shortfang's wounds were patched up and he just needed time to rest, allowing Syfr to do most of the scouting. Aside from a few stray wolves which wisely avoided the carts, there wasn't much else except a long road ahead. Thanks to the chains on the wheels, the vehicles had little problem traversing the rough and muddy terrain, and by the time night began to fall the party were finally out of the mountains, though they were still quite a bit away from Gransys itself.

"I reckon that we're about five leagues away from the capital now. I think we might be able to make it if we march through the night, but we may face threats if we do. If we set up camp, we can make it nice and fortified, though no less dangerous." Shortfang chimed in as his wounds were no longer painful. "No house near. Lotta empty field. Couple ruins, maybe they nice place stay?" Ferric nodded. "Aye, I was thinking if we were to make camp, it'll be by one of the stone ruins, provide a bit of shelter that way. What do the rest of you think?" Pylia shifted around uncomfortably. "The undead are out and about at night. Not to mention sometimes goblins travel under the cover of night knowing that their innate darkvision puts them at an advantage over those who lack it. That being said, we're too big a group to try and hide. We should keep on going, and keep our lanterns and torches lit too while we're at it." It was Elena who spoke up for her family, holding Andrews at her side. "We thought the same when we went through that storm and... As much as we believe in you, we shouldn't take any more risks than necessary. If we can keep the mules safe and find somewhere for us to sleep too, we should do that. I'm willing to help watch out for danger so everyone could get some sleep."

Finally everyone turned to you to see what your opinion was.

Pylia was quiet as she applied her medicine onto your back. Cold and stingy, just like before. Once she applied those she wrapped the bandages around your wound before mending your clothes with magic. "That's... How life is out here. I'm guessing where you're from, this isn't usual for you?" Pylia asked with concern. Once she finished mending your clothes Pylia sat back at her spot. "We live in a world of monsters and magic. For us, it's a simple reality that anytime we leave our homes, we may be beset by things that want to hurt us. That's why most choose to live simple lives inside of their homes. Or to just stay away from the outside world altogether." Pylia looked back towards Ferric and Andras picking through the bodies. "Others make a living in that chaotic world though. Whether they meant to or not, they too are a part of this system, this natural habitat. I'm sure from an outside perspective this must be crazy for you. But that's just life for us. Are you... Are you okay with that?" Pylia looked very concerned now. "I'd understand if it bothers you. It's never easy it's just... Life. Something you have to accept."
Everyone took a breather as they gathered up their equipment and headed back to the others. Once there, they'd spot two dead goblins off the side of the road as Ferric waved them over. "Hey! You're alive! Great, that's great. When we found these two coming at us, we feared the worse. Fortunately me and Andras managed to take them down before they could spook the mules." Indeed, there was a bolt sticking out of each of the goblins. Seemed that they managed to kill them each with one shot. Shortfang and Pylia got back into Ferric's wagon while Buddy went back to pulling the cart. Once they came across the gruesome battlefield, Ferric took a sharp breath. "Damn. You all managed to take on this many? That's some heroic feat I gotta tell you! I mean sure, most people don't really consider goblins all that threatening, but that ogre over there alone is worth a tale, and these creatures seem to be well armed. Speaking of which, Andras, why don't we clean up this battlefield a bit? You'll need the extra coin, and we may as well make use of what's here."

Ferric and Andras would stop their vehiciles to loot the bodies. Buddy would assist them, mainly by piling the corpses off to the side to be burned. Andrews and Elena would take care of Shortfang's injuries, who regaled them of their epic battle. With a lot of embellishment; he made the goblins seem much more fearsome instead of telling them that they essentially took out half of them with that fire bomb. Meanwhile, Pylia turned to you. "How are you holding up? Turn around, you're still bleeding. I can patch that up, and mend your outfit."

As you charge down the hill Buddy glances over at you before twisting his axe in his hand, torquing the ogre's great club sharply downward. He resisted against the attempt at a disarm, but this was simply a distraction as you leap into the air and smashed your staff right into it's skull. Your staff cracked from the sheer force of the blow that shattered the ogre's skull in twain, causing the giant to finally fall. Stepping back from the carnage Buddy nodded at you before climbing up the hill to assist Shortfang. He chopped his blade down onto the goblin's shield, trying to follow it with a stab from the spear end of his urgrosh however the goblin was more nimble than that. But Shortfang was even swifter.

In that moment where the goblin hopped back, Shortfang lunged out and impaled his shortsword right through the goblin's throat. With a vicious twist he decapitated the goblin, grabbing the monster's scimitar out for his hand as Shortfang twisted on his heel and sliced the sword right through the neck of the last goblin. It wasn't a full decapitation, but it sliced right through his throat and caused the final enemy to fall. Shortfang stood tall, pulling his shortsword out from the goblin before cleaning the blade off. Pylia huffed as her magic began to fade, her silver sword vanishing as well as the magical influence fading from herself and her allies. "Whew... I think that's all of them. We did it!"

You staff cracked the goblin across the face, causing him to lower his guard enough to let you kick him in the ribs and down the hill, where he broke his neck during the tumble. Buddy looked at the ogre and pointed at him, running off the cliff to attack the ogre from above. The combination of Buddy’s weight as he brought the blade down onto the shoulder of the ogre allowed him to cleave a giant gash right through the beast’s shoulder to hip, causing a torrent of blood to splash onto Buddy. However the ogre, despite being so brutally maimed, was still very much alive. Buddy tried to get a stab at him and finish the monster off, however the ogre intercepted the attack with his great club and tried to smash Buddy. But the robot wasn’t going down that easily, catching the blow with the steel head of his weapon and getting into a weaponlock with the ogre.

Meanwhile Shortfang spat out some blood as he snarled and drew his shortsword. “Come on! Shortfang take you on! RAAAAAWR!” He stabbed one goblin through the leg, then used his crossbow to block the goblin’s retaliatory slash. Another managed to get a slice into Shortfang’s leg but he remained steady. “Shortfang not like other kobolds! SHORTFANG MIGHTIEST WARRIOR! KOBOLD HERO!” The little guy continued to roar and shout as he fought off the goblins.

Pylia ran up next to you, giving you a thumbs up. “Good job, let’s finish this battle!” Summoning forth a ball of fire into her hand she tossed it right into the ogre’s face, scorching his already burnt body even further as her blade sliced through the back of the ogre, causing him to fall onto his knees. “He’s almost done for! Let’s finish this Sylvia!”

Whew. Lot more stuff than I'd thought I'd write but whatever. I'm gunna go to bed now, have fun with that!
Within the madness of battle, it was bedlam to grab that oil barrel. Whoever manages to grab it would have a distinctive advantage over the other party in the form of a weapon of mass destruction. Before the party had it, but then that hobgoblin took it away. When he went down, it was a free for all. And you were the first one to grab it. The other goblins, seeing you leave to go get it, swung their swords at you. However your swift saytr-like movements allowed you to easily avoid their quick slices like a leaf in the wind. When you reached the barrel it was heavy, at least fifty pounds. Normally not too much for you to carry, however in these stressful conditions it was a heavy burden indeed. But a burden you would bare as you hefted the barrel and hurled it towards the ogre.

But it didn't explode. The barrel landed against the rocks, but neither the alchemist fire nor the barrel would break and cause that fiery explosion you were looking for. The goblin shaman was mocking you for your foolishness as he commanded the ogre to go grab the barrel. Buddy saw this and would try his best to get to the barrel, however the goblins stood in his path. Small as they were, they were preventing him from moving forward. He hacked and stabbed his urgrosh at the goblins, however they were able to stay fast, dodging and deflecting even his considerable strength. Things had just gotten bad to worse.

"Don't worry boss! Shortfang show you PUN-PUN POWER!" Shortfang got out from the rock he was using as cover, allowing the kobold the high ground for once. Standing tall over his enemies he squinted down to the barrel near the ogre. The sunlight shone brightly in this canyon making it almost impossible for his sensitive kobold eyes to see. But he didn't need a clear shot; just a target. "PEW PEW PEW!" Shortfang shouted at the top of his lungs. It would've seemed childishly comical where it not for the fact that as he said those words and aimed his crossbow simulating the recoil of his bow snapping, three magical blue darts flew out from his weapon. Two struck a goblin next to Buddy, killing him instantly. The last bolt flew right past the goblins and struck the alchemist fire, shattering the clay jug and setting the barrel aflame. Unlike before you at the front rows seat of seeing the oil barrel practically glow from the heat before expanding and exploding in a huge ball of fire, one big enough to even cause you an uncomfortable amount of pain from the heat.

Just as fast as it came the flames were gone, and the goblin shaman was reduced to a crispy slag on the ground. The ogre on the otherhand, while severely burnt, was still standing. He roared in fury as the goblins, who were now in a panic, continued to fight furiously in confusion and in a last-ditch effort to kill the party. Two of the goblins went after Shortfang, seeing him now as the biggest threat. They hacked at his body with their swords, one slicing right across his eye while another sliced his chest. This just earned a cocky laugh from the kobold. "SHORTFANG SHOW YOU DRAGON MIGHT! BE GLAD YOU DIE FOR SHORTFANG EPIC!"

The other goblins continued to focus on you and Pylia. Right after you managed to toss the barrel and it exploded, one of the goblins managed to slice their blade down your back and drawing a considerable amount of blood. Another tried the same however now back in action you were able to knock their blade aside and got ready to fight back. But from the corner of your eye you saw the ogre draw another javelin from his smoking and burnt pack and hurl it right at you. Time seemed to slow down as you saw that spear fly towards your face. It was within that moment you remembered Buddy's lesson with you about arrow interception. For example to others when they saw Buddy knock the javelin out from the air, they might've thought his blade struck the javelin head on. But that was not the case.

"Remember this well: a projectile's most dangerous location is directly in front of it. All their power is focused onto a single point. This is their greatest strength, but also their greatest weakness. With all of their power focused on that point, everywhere else is weak. To foil their attacks, you must deflect at an angle, strike them where they are weak. Hit from the sides, from behind, anywhere but where they are strongest. Defeat their force with your finesse."

Extending your hand out as the javelin flew faster and faster towards you, it would look like it was going to pierce your right through your arm. Indeed when you touched the javelin, you could feel it pulling against your skin, threatening to tear your flesh right off your fingertips. But you remember Buddy's lesson and don't let the pain stop you. You weren't hurt; you were just scared. And that was alright. Because that fear meant that you wanted to live, and that fear is what will allow you to survive. With barely a tap, you push your hand against the javelin a bit more. Further, again and again, until you've practically swung around with the javelin lightly in your hand. Scanning the battlefield you reacted before you could think as your then redirected that ogre's powerful javelin right into the goblin Pylia was fighting, just as she parried his blade. The massive spear impaled the goblin to the ground, much to the shock and surprise of yourself, Pylia, and the goblins around you. They couldn't believe what you just did.

Alas, there was no time to celebrate. Pylia smiled at you and charged towards the goblin who was gawking at the sight of his dead ally. Pylia herself had an awesome blow of her own as she slammed her warclub right into the jaw of the goblin, sending him flying through the air pass you, down the ravine where the ogre was approaching. "Look alive Sylvia! That ogre is coming for you!" Commanding her silver sword to attack, the blade sliced into the ogre's shoulder and gave him a nasty cut along the burns on his body. Syfr was also helping, cawing and flying in front of the ogre's face to keep him distracted and allowing his ally's attacks to find purchase on the ogre. "We got this Sylvia! Let's end this!"

Awesome, post up soonish.
Oh, I should've mentioned that, but Shaman Gob died. We can redirect that attack to a different gob if you'd like.
I edited my previous responses, but go ahead and roll your attack. As I said, rereading it there's nothing preventing you from throwing the javelin at another enemy within range, so regardless just roll and tell me who you're aiming for. Don't forget the 1d4 from Bless.
