Bay 12 Games Forum

I've actually been considering two possibilities. Firstly, a conjurer, and secondly, an illusionist multiclassing into rogue. I've put more thought into the rogue one, I'd probably use a buckler and leather armor with the still spell feat. That would probably require all my stats to be at least decent though. The conjurer could have a lot more specialized stats. Might not be the best possibilities gameplay-wise, but hell, I think they're cool ideas. That's way more important in my opinion. So long as I don't completely screw up the character, that is.

EDIT: Or perhaps going sorcerer/rogue?

What, as in "permanently destroyed, no afterlife" kind, or in the "sent to the afterlife" kind?

Giving up the staring contest as a bad deal, I decide to collect the best armor I can find.

2: You stare at the two piles. And simply can't decide which you'd rather have.

I, as per intention, command the spiders to weave a robe around my body. Considering entrusting my life to a horde of spiders better than any possible alternatives, I then resume meditation on the intricate arts of conjuration.

4: You have learned much from your endeavors, but you are still not a match for a truly powerful summoner, nor will you ever be unless you dedicate years upon years to studying it. Still, you can probably summon something on the order of a minor elemental.
5: Your spiders weave some beautiful white robes(+1 charisma). They feel incredibly soft and slightly magical to the touch. Admittedly, it's also impossible to be badass in these robes unless you're Jesus or something. After doing this, they disappear.

I put on my armour, looking rather miffed at the wall I just ran into.

3: You put your armor on. You fail to scare the wall though with your angry look though. Also, your nosebleed finally dries up. Your nose is stifled.

being out of luck, I decide to sit and channel the destructive force of chuck norris.

2: All you manage is to channel some annoyance.

I smash the cobblestone floor with my flail, using all my strenght.

5: KYSELINA SMASH! Several cobblestones go flying upwards.

COBBLESTONE ROLL!
3: The cobblestone flies a bit, then falls.
2: The cobblestone fall back down at you!
--BLOCK ROLL:
--3: Although you manage to block in time, it hurts a bit when it strikes your shield.
3: The cobblestone hurtles for some distance and hits a wall without grace.
5: The cobblestone flies high and in an arc.(Hit is executed in NPC ACTIONS)
2: The cobblestone falls towards the person with the lowest roll!(executed in NPC ACTIONS)

You've killed a bunch of cobblestones. Meanie.

I practice using my battle axe

4: You swing it around a bit. you find that it's heavy enough to break armor.

I look at the cobblestones and give them my best attempt at a reassuring glance, trying to get rid of my status as a meanie.

3: It's not very reassuring and comes off as somewhat awkward and forced, although it's not a complete failure. You're still considered a meanie.

I wear my armor, looking for a way to wear it that'll protect me but not restrict my movement.

1: You put on your armor all wrong, the chainmail is uncomfortable and the leather chaps seem to have been used. And their owner had little bladder control. You negate your dodge bonus!

I go over to the light armor pile, looking specifically for a ninja costume that will allow me to blend with my surroundings, or, failing that, some armor that looks flexible and durable.

3: You find a ninja suit. It is bright pink.

Alright...I jump onto the pile of weapons in hopes to kill myself. >:] hopefully i'll get a 1 and jump into the pile, jump into the armor and have the weapons fall into my hands.

5: You jump on the pile. You skewer yourself on six different types of weapons and your momentum keeps you rolling. You die, but at least your corpse looks like you were either really tough or really hated. You wait a little, then pick yourself off the floor. Your body remains there; you are an ethereal spirit known as a ghost.

Frustrated with my repeated failure at any sort of physical activity I concentrate again on my life magic and try to learn how to create/summon living beings to assist me.

3: You can summon celestial kittens now.

I check the room for exits.

5: After a detailed search using your amazing analytical skills, you conclude the only actual exit possible is the steel gate. However, you find a small trapdoor concealed as more cobblestones. Opening it, however, reveals only a bunch of clothes. You surmise they're for magic users, because there are a lot of pointy hats in there. There might be other kinds of clothes there as well.

I start stomping on the stones sending a morse code signal of YYZ.

5: You stomp hard enough for it to be heard for kilometers. The IATA code for Toronto Pearson International Airport, am I right?

I go over to the heavy armor pile and grab and equip pants (only pants) and a double bladed axe.

4: You can't find any pants, but you do find a nice-looking axe(+1 damage). You notice there is a fur loincloth there as well.

I meditate on weapon techniques.

5: You discover the secrets of Dragoons. The FF type dragoons. In case you don't know how they work, they wear heavy armor and a spear(your glaive-guisarme should work as a polearm), and they jump high into the air then land on their opponents, spearhead first.

NPC ACTIONS:

The cobblestones shift for a final time!

YOU-SHOULD-KNOW-WHAT-TO-EXPECT-BY-NOW ROLL!

sjmarshy
1:You fall on your face. Again. Your nosebleed starts again as well.

lambskin
2: You fall down

Devath
1: You fall and struggle quite a bit trying to get up before finally making it.

PTTG
6: You stare evilly at a single cobblestone. It's so scared that when you tell it to turn into a dagger, it does. The surrounding cobblestones are also scared of you. Meanie.

Zako
1: You stare evilly at the cobblestones as well. they are not amused and send you hurtling down flat on your face.
MASSIVE DAMAGE AVOIDANCE ROLL:
5: Your skull is thick enough that you don't suffer any real damage.

5: The cobblestones are scared of you. They all turn their red ones turn into red :< s

Frelock
3(2+1): you just barely avoid falling.

Sean Mirrsen
6: Buoyed by your new powers, you command the cobblestones not to turn. They do so, probably only out of shock though.

Kashyyk
4: You don't fall. I suppose.

The cobblestones now display nothing. The steel gates slam open! Behind them, there is a hallway filled with a horde of angry, confused goblins. They're all armed, too.

COBBLESTONE TIME!
The cobblestone hurtles toward one of the people who rolled a 1 in this turn!
Duke 2.0 1
sjmarshy 1
Devath 2
Zako 4

The cobblestone htis the floor, breaks into two seperate pieces, each of which strikes one of the poor sods!

MASIVE DAMAGE AVOIDANCE ROLLS!
5: The piece of cobblestone bounces off your powerful and incredibly manly pectoral muscles!
4: You duck under the cobblestone piece.

AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT!
The other cobblestone hurtles toward the goblins!

MASSIVE DAMAGE ROLL!
4: The cobblestone strikes on of the goblins in the face, killing him!

You know, the more I think about it, the more I suspect I will get a 1 on the spiders' action roll...  ah well. What's the worst thing that can happen?

Simple. The spiders tie you up, then crawl into your body and fill your lungs with webbing.

For added effect, imagine that actually happen to you. The real-life you. Imagine the slow death by asphyxiation that follows... MWAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Oh, it's one of those games. No offense to people who enjoy them, but I've tried several and I always grow bored and leave... Still, you never know. I once found a game that kept my attention for quite a while. This might be actually fun. I'll try it.

EDIT: Which server?

I have biological needs, people. Also, I don't think Zako has posted yet. I'll assume he simply wears his armor.

PLAYER ACTIONS:

I look vera, vera closely at the cobblestones.

2: You stare at the cobblestones. They stare back. You lose the staring contest.

I attempt to summon a swarm of non-poisonous web-weaving spiders in my vicinity.

6: You summon an enormous swarm of large spiders. They're the size of a natural spider, albeit rather large ones. They number in the dozens. And they're ready and willing to do whatever you command, for a while at least.

I do some yoga in order to increase my agility and balance.

6: You feel like you could dodge a bullet. And knowing this game, you very well might, especially with a +1 bonus to dodge, rapid movement and balance.

I take and wear some heavy armor.

4: You put the armor on. You are now clad in some heavy armor.

I put my armour on

2: You can't figure out how some of the more complicated pieces work.

I try to pick up some armor. Despite bleeding, I must make sure nothing else gets to me.

5: You grab some chainmail and leather chaps. +1 dodge.

I begin to panic, looking for a set of steel knuckles.

2: You don't find anything of the like.

I study the room carefully, looking for a way of escape.

1: Using your incredible, inhuman powers you attempt to perceive illusion magicks covering up any doors in the vicinity. You think you find a magical portal, but it turns out to be a trick and you charge into a wall instead. Ouch.
5: Fortunately, you don't suffer any damage from the collision.

Anyway, I go through the pile again looking for some suitable armor.

4: You find a matching set of leather armor. +1 dodge.

I wear my armor.

6: You put on your armor, looking incredibly awesome while doing it. You wear it with style.

I..Practice sneaking

2: You attempt to sneak around. You are very loud.

I attempt to pick up a torch from the wall.

1: You fail in doing so and instead set your hair on fire.

I grab a torch from the wall and wield it.

4: You are now holding a torch.

While holding my butt, I limp over to the pile and pick up some clericy equipment.

1: You stand up. Somehow you manage to launch yourself three meters into the air, and when you land you twist your ankle(-1 dodge and fast movement like Sean)(man, two failures in a row).

Zako:
I assume he just puts his armor on.



NPC ACTIONS:
The cobblestones turn again!

NOT-BEING-AN-IDIOT-ROLL!

sjmarshy:
5: You easily avoid falling when the cobblestones shift again.

Xotes:
5: Similarly, you have no problems just jumping a bit.

lambskin:
6: You fall to the ground. You furthermore start rolling and put out the fire in your hair.

devath:
5: You're too damn awesome to fall down. The cobblestones recognize this.

PTTG:
4: You might not be graceful about it, but you don't fall.

Zako:
AUTOSUCCEED. He didn't post, I don't have the heart to make him do this.

Mulch Diggums:
2: You're too busy sneaking and fall.

Ioric Kittencuddler:
5: You were in the air when the cobblestones shifted.

Duke 2.0:
3: Your swearing is surprisingly inventive as you struggle to not fall over.

yougiedeggs:
3: See above.

Emperor_Jonathan:
2: You fall over backwards. At least you don't set yourself on fire.

Kyselina:
6: You smash the cobblestones. Grrr...

Frelock:
2: You were in the middle of practicing when you are suddenly toppled by the cobblstones. It's rather funny, really.

Sean Mirrsen:
2: You fall again. you must have rather slow reactions. At least no injuries this time.

Kashyyk:
6: The cobblestones you're standing on cannot shift your weight. They're damaged.



STATUS AND HINTS:
Remember to wear your armor. It wont' do any good if you're just holding it. Also, always try to foil the DM's plans, it's more fun that way. Finally, nobody has found what I was hiding in this room yet, but only because of the bad rolls.

I don't care much for screenshots, although they help. And I don't mind the graphics at all

Ah. That's more sensible. Waiting for them to spin their webs?
