Amaryn: STRIFE!

[21:42] <Strategist14> As per Daemus' guess, a pair of imps is in the process of sneaking up behind you
[21:43] <Strategist14>  Roll initiative
[21:43] <Amaryn> 1d20+1
[21:43] <Amaryn> roll d20+1
[21:43] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled d20+1 [ 1d20=16 ]{17}
[21:43] <Strategist14> Roll 2#1d20-1
[21:43] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 2#1d20-1 [ 1d20=18 ]{17}, [ 1d20=5 ]{4}
[21:43] <Strategist14> Your turn first, followed by the two imps
[21:44] <Amaryn> You whip out your cutlass and slash at the first imp
[21:44] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3
[21:44] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=20 ]{23}
[21:44] <[Daemus]> ((:O))
[21:44] <[Daemus]> ((CRIT))
[21:44] <Strategist14> A direct hit!
[21:45] <Amaryn> (what's the damage on crit? double dice?)
[21:45] <Strategist14> ((Crits do twice as many dice of damage, yes))
[21:45] <Amaryn> roll 2d6+3
[21:45] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 2d6+3 [ 2d6=7 ]{10}
[21:46] <Strategist14> With one swift motion, you behead the first imp
[21:46] <Amaryn> FATALITY
[21:46] <Strategist14> Its companion watches in horror
[21:46] <Strategist14> Then, fueled by revenge, comes after you
[21:46] <Strategist14> Roll 1d20-1 to hit
[21:46] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 1d20-1 to hit [ 1d20=16 ]{15}
[21:46] <Strategist14> Roll 1d4-1 damage
[21:46] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 1d4-1 damage [ 1d4=1 ]{0}
[21:47] <Strategist14> It pats your head
[21:47] <Strategist14> Your turn
[21:47] <Amaryn> "That's...actually kindof adarrable."
[21:47] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3
[21:47] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=14 ]{17}
[21:47] <Amaryn> "Too bad you're the antagonists"
[21:47] <Strategist14> Another hit
[21:47] <Amaryn> roll 1d6+3
[21:47] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d6+3 [ 1d6=2 ]{5}
[21:48] <Strategist14> Yet another solid blow.  The imp, clinging to life, does its best to take you down with it
[21:48] <Strategist14> Roll 1d20-1 to hit
[21:48] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 1d20-1 to hit [ 1d20=10 ]{9}
[21:48] <Amaryn> The attack is ineffectual
[21:48] <Strategist14> The imp uses its minor action to pray
[21:48] <Strategist14> Your turn
[21:48] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3
[21:48] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=11 ]{14}
[21:48] <Strategist14> Hit
[21:49] <Amaryn> roll 1d6+3
[21:49] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d6+3 [ 1d6=4 ]{7}
[21:49] <Strategist14> The imp is cleaved into two halves, which then erupt into more crystalline grist
[21:49] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+1 victory pose
[21:49] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+1 victory pose [ 1d20=13 ]{14}
[21:50] <Strategist14> Turtlesprite applauds
[21:50] <Amaryn> "Thank you tarrtlesprite." You gather up the spoils of victory
[21:50] <Strategist14> You obtain a total of 16 T1 grist and a whopping 40 Build Grist
[21:51] <Strategist14> You also gain 20 XP

[22:01] <Amaryn> sS: Did you catch all that, swabbie?
[22:01] <Amaryn> Man this little portable computer is useful for you!
[22:02] <[Daemus]> rG: I did! Vell done captain! If only they all ven't down so quickly.
[22:03] <Amaryn> sS: You'll be fine! Just be carreful. We both know you're not as resilient as I am.
[22:04] <[Daemus]> rG: Indeed. Speaking ov vich, could you send me the code for that shellbeast shell from earlier? I have an idea.
[22:04] <Amaryn> sS: Of coarrse! And in exchange...
[22:05] <Amaryn> You look up towards the gate above your hive
[22:05] <Amaryn> sS: I need you to startt building. I think its time we got this expedition undarr way."
[22:05] <[Daemus]> rG: Right. Just let me mess vith the controls for a minute...
[22:05] <[Daemus]> You try to figure out how to "build" with this thing
[22:06] <Strategist14> The system seems intuitive enough
[22:06] <[Daemus]> (I mean, Amaryn's hive is a shell that then goes over the side of a cliff)
[22:07] <[Daemus]> (I guess that means that, from the top of her end-game hive... it'll be turtles all the way down)
[22:07] <Amaryn> (use the part that goes over the side to make a mast of sorts)
[22:08] <[Daemus]> You try to copy a somewhat self-contained section of the side, so as to include a ladder or staircase or something convenient that loops onto itself, and paste it up to build towards the first Gate
[22:08] <Strategist14> How much of Amaryn's grist are you willing to spend building?
[22:08] <[Daemus]> (Enough to reach the Gate)
[22:09] <[Daemus]> (She has enough now, right?)
[22:09] <Strategist14> You make it about halfway before the pool runs dry
[22:09] <Amaryn> (46 isn't enough?)
[22:09] <Amaryn> (DAMMIT)
[22:09] <[Daemus]> rG: Huh.
[22:09] <Strategist14> ((Sorry.  Forgot you burned up a bunch making computers))
[22:10] <[Daemus]> ((oops))
[22:10] <Strategist14> ((Still though.  Halfway))
[22:10] <[Daemus]> rG: Vell, it's a start.
[22:10] <Amaryn> sS: Carrses!
[22:10] <Amaryn> sS: Guess I need to not-look farr some marre imps.
[22:11] <Strategist14>  Roll Perception
[22:11] <[Daemus]> rG: Lets hope your luck keeps up in that regard. Seems to be doing vell thus far!
[22:11] <Amaryn> roll 2#1d20+3 advantage
[22:11] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 2#1d20+3 advantage [ 1d20=15 ]{18}, [ 1d20=14 ]{17}
[22:11] <Amaryn> sS: Hopefully...
[22:12] <Strategist14> You hear an ominous thump come from outside
[22:12] <Amaryn> You jump a bit, then smile
[22:12] <Amaryn> sS: Harre's the code you wanted: <insert code for lobster shell here>
[22:12] <Amaryn> sS: I think I have a visitarr...
[22:13] <Amaryn> You poke your head out the window to see who has come knocking
[22:13] <Strategist14> Well, it's not an imp
[22:13] <Strategist14> This thing is quite a lot bigger
[22:14] <Amaryn> "...Tarrtlesprite? Would this happen to be the Ogre you warre talking about earrliarr?"
[22:14] <Strategist14> "Yup!"
[22:14] <Strategist14> "Next are Basilisks!"
[22:15] <Amaryn> You spit on your hands and roll up your sleeves. "Batten down the hatches, mateys! We be sailin' into true uncharrted watarrs!" And with that you take your cutlass and jump out the window swinging at the ogre
[22:16] <Strategist14>  Roll to hit
[22:16] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3
[22:16] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=18 ]{21}
[22:16] <Strategist14> And also Athletics to land the jump without hurting yourself
[22:16] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3

[22:16] <[Daemus]> ((can I catch them?))
[22:16] <Amaryn> (at least i look cool!)

[22:17] <Amaryn> roll 1d6+3 damage
[22:17] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d6+3 damage [ 1d6=2 ]{5}
[22:17] <Strategist14> You turn what would have been a painful splat into an uncomfortable landing
[22:17] <Amaryn> (assuming the 21 hit :P)
[22:17] <Strategist14> The monster stumbles back in pain, then roars and charges you
[22:17] <[Daemus]> ((if the 21 didn't hit I forbid you from fighting it)
[22:17] <Strategist14> Roll 1d20+3 to body slam
[22:17] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 1d20+3 to body slam [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
[22:17] <Strategist14> Well, it tried
[22:18] <Amaryn> You duck under its swing and give it a swing of your own
[22:18] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3
[22:19] <Amaryn> (dice is too awestruck)
[22:19] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=12 ]{15}

[22:20] <Strategist14> Roll 1d4+3 damage
[22:20] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 1d4+3 damage [ 1d4=4 ]{7}
[22:21] <Amaryn> You take the brunt of the blow on your chest. A perfect strategy!
[22:21] <Amaryn> Except for the whole getting thrown back into your hive and getting hurt part
[22:22] <Amaryn> *Cough cough* "Finally. Somethin' warrth fightin'!" You give a battle cry and charge once mor
[22:22] <Amaryn> roll 1d20+3
[22:22] <`DICE> Amaryn rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=8 ]{11}
[22:22] <Strategist14> Your blade bounces off the monster's skin with a clink
[22:22] <Strategist14> Roll 1d20+3 to punch again
[22:22] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 1d20+3 to punch again [ 1d20=3 ]{6}
[22:22] <Strategist14> Its fist bounces off your face with a matching clink

[22:26] <Strategist14> Roll 2d4+3 damage
[22:26] <`DICE> Strategist14 rolled 2d4+3 damage [ 2d4=4 ]{7}
[22:26] <Amaryn> It's enough to send you spiraling and cuts the skin on your cheek, sending teal blood down your face. You wipe it away with a smirk. "Once marre into the starrm!"

[22:29] <Amaryn> You pant as you answer Daemus
[22:29] <Amaryn> sS: Thanks. Finally got a warrkout harre.
[22:29] <Amaryn> sS: That enough resoarrces farr you?
[22:30] <[Daemus]> rG: Let me check!
[22:30] <[Daemus]> You try building up further
[22:30] <Strategist14> You almost - ALMOST - make it to the gate
[22:30] <[Daemus]> rG: Nearly there.
[22:31] <Strategist14> You figure it's close enough that one good jump oughtta do it
[22:31] <[Daemus]> rG: Probably close enough.
[22:31] <Amaryn> You look up and smile.
[22:32] <Amaryn> sS: That'll do, swabbie. I can haul some crates up tharre arr something if I don't feel like jumping.
[22:32] <[Daemus]> rG: Glad to help!
[22:33] <Amaryn> sS: That gate'll take me to the farrst leg of my adventarre. I dunno if you'll be able to see me still, but I'll keep in contact
[22:33] <Amaryn> sS: Just gotta...patch myself up a bit farrst.
[22:34] <[Daemus]> rG: That sounds like a safe bet, yeah. I'm gonna try and make better gear before I get too far from my Hive.
[22:34] <Amaryn> sS: Good call.
[22:48] <Amaryn> You head back inside your recently-remodeled hive and start patching yourself up a bit,
[22:48] <Amaryn> Then you head up to your room to take a quick nap
