Ah sorry, I always assumed crits are headshots. You can go ahead and narrate how it’s done.

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.

Fortunately, the trip to Gransys was uneventful. Within an hour you started to see more trees, not quite dense enough to make a forest, but a lot more in general. You also spotted lumberjacks and foresters in the distance chopping trees, collecting tinder, and generally doing forestry stuff. The group also got onto stone-paved roads, making their travel faster and more efficient. No more bumpy rides, no more awkward detours. And finally, after Ferric says there is about an hour before they reach the city, you go over one more hill and you could see the city.
There was a lot for your to digest here. The massive lake that lead out into the ocean, how quickly the landscape changed from a largely open plains to a forested area, the frankly huge castle town, and of course, the stupidly colossal ruined sword that looked taller than the mountains behind the city. Just about everyone was in awe of the sight. Even Shortfang, who was looking through the eyes of Syfr, couldn't contain his excitement. "WOW WOW WOW! SUPER HUGE! GIANT SWORD WHAT!?"

Just about everyone was in awe of the sight. Even Shortfang, who was looking through the eyes of Syfr, couldn't contain his excitement. "WOW WOW WOW! SUPER HUGE! GIANT SWORD WHAT!?"
The axe cleaved cleanly across Orchid's chest, sundering flesh and bone. A deadly blow for sure, causing Orchid to fall. Against lesser men such an attack would cleave bodies apart, tear through armor plates, and even make demons hesitant to go through such an experience. But for Orchid? Twas merely a scratch. As the axeman retorted to Parum the bloody, nearly dying barbarian warrior regained his footing and just smiled at the warrior before him. 'THAT'S A NICE HEAD YOU HAVE ON YOUR SHOULDERS!" He roared as Orchid slashed both his swords across the man's neck, aiming aftering his original target and chop this man's head off once and for all.
"Haha! This calls for something special then!" Ferric went to his wagon and took out a red bottle. "Fire Wine! A dwarven specialty. Only one cup now, it's far more powerful than my travel beer!" Ferric passed around the drinks, though Pylia politely declined. She wanted to be sober while they traveled. You were offered a cup as well, and you'd be allowed a second cup if you so desired. Once everyone had their plate, they happily ate the fish.
"Mhmm... Salty, but sweet!" Elena commented as she took a forkful of the fish.
"I don't really like carrots... But these are tasty." Andrews said as he munched on his vegetables, having already eaten the fish quickly.
"Ah butter, is there anything it can't make taste good?" Pylia said blissfully.
After everyone ate, Elena and Andrews would volunteer to clean up. It was time to go. Once the dishes were cleaned everyone piled back onto their respective vehicles and continued towards Gransys. As they moved along, Pylia looked over to you. "By the way, didn't you have some books? Let me read one. It'll be something to pass the time with."

Using the recipe from the book, you looked for the quickest and most portable food, in case you have to leave early. And nothing was quicker than a pan fry fish. Using some salted salmon from Andras's cart, you also find some vinegar and some spices. Considering that nearly everything you've eaten here had only been salted, if even that, it would be a treat to actually add some much needed flavor to this simple dish. You make a simple marinade with the vinegar, allowing the salted salmon to soak and get a bit tender. It'll take only a few minutes before the fish was ready, so you'd prepare the other things for this meal. You peeled and chopped up some carrots and onions into very thin slices, as well as washing and breaking apart a few thin mushrooms.
You easily do this before the fish is ready, so you take out the pan that you got from Cassari and prep it for frying. Using some butter from Andras's cart you butter down the pan and give it some heat. By now the time the pan would almost be warm enough, you take your fish out from the vinegar marinade, patting it dry with a clean cloth. Even without the extra moisture, it was soft and tender. You put down a mixed bed of mushrooms, carrots, and onions onto the buttered pan, stirring it up until the onions were lightly brown. Once that was done you put the salmon on top, then sealed the pan with the lid. It'd take a few more minutes before the fish would be cooked thoroughly, but fortunately you'd have time as the others were still busy.
Of course it also wouldn't be long before the smell of your food would attract the others as well. Elena came over smelling the delicious butter and salmon. "Mhmm. Butter, fish... Onions, and is that a hint of vinegar?" She seemed quite excited. Shortfang and Andrews came along too. "Wow wow! Boss make good smelly food! Shortfang want half!" He was practically salivating, and Andrews seemed pretty hungry too. Ferric, Mica, Andras, and Pylia would also soon join as the food was almost ready. Seemed like you cooked a very good meal!

Ah I didn't realize you already rolled. Cool, I'll write up a post soonish.
Let’s roll another cooking check, best hope for the best!
“It’s a matter of perspective. For most, all they see are criminals serving their time. And don’t be mistaken; many of those people in chains are harden bandits who’re likely be serving this sentence until they’re tossed to the side. Still... Most people don’t care about the few who came there by mistake. ‘Won’t happen to me’ they’d think. ‘I don’t break the law’ they’ll say to themselves. Fair weather friends the whole lot of them. If everything is going fine they’ll stay by your side, but as soon as trouble comes along you’re on your own. That... That is what’s wrong with this country.” She says bitterly.
Soon the caravan would pass the chain gang and continue on their way. About three hours into the trip Andras called for a break, so Ferric parked off to the side. There was a tree they provided some shade as Andras allowed his mules out of their harnesses to graze and rest. Shortfang stayed under the tree with Andrews and was teaching him how to use a crossbow. Buddy was helping Ferric and Andras remove the chains off their wheels while Elena was gathering up some wood for a small campfire. Pylia took this time to look around for herbs and roots to make medicine with.
It seemed like a fairly calm and peaceful moment. There wasn’t much cover for any monsters to hide behind so no way for them to sneak up on the party unless they were invisible. “We’re about two, maybe three leagues away now. Perhaps less if we take those new roads! Eat up, handle your business, we’ll leave once we get these chains off our wheels.”

“Boss, Syfr see something. Bunch of humies near wagons. Look like... Workers?” Shortfang announced. Sure enough just after you cross the crest of a hill you could see in the distance hundreds of men in chains, carrying stones to lay onto the ground. Overseeing them were a squad of guardsmen, wearing similar uniforms to the ones you saw at the encampment. However these men didn’t look nearly as portly and sloven; they seemed fit and almost intimidating.
“Prisoners of war working a chain gang.” Ferric called out. “Looks like they’re repaving the road. Good for them, though we’ll need to detour off the road a bit to avoid them.” Sure enough the group would have to go off road a bit, but not too far from the road that you couldn’t see them. Most of the workers looked like rough and unsavory folks, similar to those brigands, though there were quite a few women, children, and elderly in the chain gang as well. Quite a few were missing limbs. When one fell or faltered they were pulled out of line and tossed off to the side.
“That’s life here.” Pylia said quietly. “It’s not kind to those who don’t follow authority. Suppose it’s not suppose to be for criminals but... An eye for an eye, you know? I wonder how many of those people are actual criminals and not simply someone who couldn’t pay a tax or stole some bread.”

You can tell that Pylia’s quick response was prepared. She seemed to have expected you to ask, knowing somehow, and were it not for how quickly and unsurprised her reaction to your question, it might’ve gone unnoticed. It would seem that Pylia had been thinking about this conversation since last night. Expecting your curiosity and preparing to tell you want you needed to hear in advance.
“That.., What?” Pylia had a wry smile on her face, like she wasn’t sure if she should be confused or amused. “You have a strange way of attracting people, Sylvia. Magic honey and a werebear? Sounds like something you tell a child before putting him to bed. Honey does have some helpful restorative qualities in alchemy though. Perhaps if we’re in that direction we should get some of that honey. I could make powerful potions with them.”
