NEW FEATURE: Group inventory.Oh.
Stuff you have between you. You have to either claim it for a character, or indicate who is carrying it. This is to prevent objects magically floating along alongside the party on their adventures.
The dagger is the one you took from Moldour.
It counts everyone except freeform. And placed the wrong username with the right post.Did you forget to include yourself or Vector, or is that counting all the plusses that aren't NRDL's?+3 (Kadzar is a person)>Greet the blue bird. Ask what's wrong.+1
>Ask purple haired guy who HE is.
Only slip him one, he'll probably say a few words then claim you need to pay him for more. Just be prepared to spend 5, but only if he's got anything worthy to hear.+1
Who agrees these puns has already ran its race?+1
continue adding people to shadowdragon[4v6] Nope.
Great... time learn the old fashioned way, first make a backup of everything on the ultracomputer in case I screw something up.[1] You screw something up while performing the backup.
Strangle self. Stab self in foot. Kill self. When sucessful, Respawn as Scientist, with Force Powers. IS NOT MAGIC. IS THE FORCE.[2-1] You fail to strangle yourself, instead giving TCM a neck massage. [4-1] You poke yourself in the foot with your finger. [1-1] You give yourself some medicine.
Respawn as a tap-dancing gnome. Confuse the world with my prowess.[3] You respawn as a tap-dancer.
You flap over to Xantalos and [1] strain, strain, strain at the sword, but it's too heavy to pick up so you just stand on it.Flysort of glide at Xantalos and steal his sword.
Stab II as he goes overhead while I stab my sword upward in the air, screaming, "BY THE POWER OF GREYSKULL!"You don't have any hands, only half a metal arm.
Become He-Man.
(II = Insanity Incarnate)
Force InsanityIncarnate and Nosaneinme to fight to the death[2] No.
Kill someone.[1] You're someone! Respawn?
((Ft Brag?))It's in North Carolina, IIRC. Google/Wikipedia it. It's a bit less abandoned than this one is.
Output daemon lord loyal to me....No.

1. The gobbos quite possibly don't deal with assassination, thus the point is moot,True, but my statement was valid when I said it due to the prevailing assumptions.
however: being a 'god' doesn't preclude attack.It does, however, make it much less likely. Lynch mobs are more likely for deicide than mere homicide, for instance.
2. This is what I was trying to point out; none of us really knows how to get them to think us gods. Just showing up and hoping they don't shoot first and ask questions later might not be good for our health, and even if they don't we lack a cohesive strategy for achieving godhood.We've got a better shot with the dwarves than with humans, elves, or wandering randomly through the wilderness hoping we find something.
Also: some heads will try to eat..And they will get overruled. With our teeth, if need be.
-ps, I think it's the straight-up unliving-ethereal-ness that gets them worshipped as gods.The GM explicitly stated that hydras are sometimes worshiped as gods by goblins and dwarves.
3. I've been trying to avoid making overt suggestions, (I know, doing a shoddy job), so here it is: get some of them thieving lizard people to scout around further than 3 km. Specifically ask them about the other civs and their relations with them. Try to collect more info before waltzing into the (now thoroughly-)unknown quantity that is the local dwarven civ. In the meantime bide your time and get yourself fed.Somehow, I can't imagine this would be too effective; even if the little guys could carry out such an expedition without being captured or killed, would they and would they have a chance of bringing back useful data?
5.Huh?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Eh, well, this is after all on a subforum of DF forums, (with characters & elements reminiscent of the game's universe). That you didn't think of it doesn't mean it shouldn't have been thought of.Well excuse me for expecting basic logic and non-cruel-evil GMs.
The best I'd hope for is our heads matching the gods of their pantheon-- which we don't know and could use some scouting to learn.Or we could try a simple mutual back-scratching. There's a few things I can think of we could give them, like protection, lizardy servants, and an All-U-Can-Eat Hydra Head BBQ.
Almost-forgotten turn, record in jeopardy!Early turn, record safe!Damn it, Chrome, why did you crash, taking 2/3 of the turn with it and making me redo the turn on Firefox?But I will rebuild it!Well, dang it.This is actually on time!Even if it ruins my REM sleep!I MUST update tonight! MUST! NOT! RUIN! PERFECT! RECORD!
My record is finally gone.
get a negative 100 bonus.
[5-5+1] You get something even worse than a -100 malus...a -101 malus! Which, if I am not mistaken, makes you, quantitatively, the single most pathetic character in any RtD EVER! Congrats?get a negative 100 bonus.Aid action. This must happen.
I still have no idea what's going on but this is fun!Glad to hear it!
Chuck as many explosives as I can in a turn at whoever has the giant hat the voices told me to kill. Also laugh like a madman while doing it.[5] You hurl explosives at that guy. [1+100] He is unfazed by it, except that that hole in his belly gets slightly larger.
Earn a +130 bonus, using my current bonus.[4+4] OH NO YOU DON'T. You momentarily have a +134 bonus, but the high result on your roll activated the Overshot Detector, which caused Head Death to feed you to Cthulhu.
Respawn outside of the amalgamation because this is getting unfun.[6] You respawn about a hundred thousand miles above the amalgamation. Gravity's pretty weak out here; you've got quite a while to fall.
Observe the effects of dying in the realm of the dead.Hm. You don't seem to be dead. Shoot.
((Which friendship?))You, my friend, just tripped my That Was Freaking Obvious device. -1 malus for 1 turn get!
Training montage.[1+2-1] It's a tedious one, and since it's just a montage you don't learn anything.
GUYS CRAWL INSIDE ME YOU CAN TEAR HIM UP FROM THE INSIDE OUT.[3] You create an Aluminum Foil and Penny Golem.
Create Golem from nearby discarded metal using magical powers (oooooohhhh!!!)
Maybe so.I told you random.org cheats!I'm not going to give up, you know.Kill Self.Try again!
