Brogre Strife

[20:00] <Vampsquirrel> Alright, you had just launched rubble at the ogre, knocking him to the ground and dealing 9 damage

[20:00] <Vampsquirrel> roll for initiative
[20:00] <Lyra[Strategist14]> roll 1d20+1

[20:01] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20 [ 1d20=3 ]{3}
[20:01] <Vampsquirrel> Alright, your turn.
[20:01] <Lyra[Strategist14]> The ground is still covered in rubble from all the other times Lyra ejected her Sylladex, right?
[20:01] <Vampsquirrel> Yes
[20:01] <Lyra[Strategist14]> While it's down, Lyra darts into the room to captchalogue whatever refuse she can find on the ground
[20:02] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((Six cards, right?  3 from minor, 3 from standard, and move to enter))
[20:03] <Vampsquirrel> ((Yes, but you're already in the room with the iron door in it, correct?
[20:03] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((Right, yeah))
[20:04] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Okay, downgrade MOVE to Minor, and use standard to try and threaten it.
[20:04] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Move and it's coming again."
[20:04] <Vampsquirrel> Roll for intimidate
[20:04] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled for intimidate error: malformed expression

[20:04] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20 [ 1d20=16 ]{16}
[20:05] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre stays on the ground looking at you worriedly.
[20:06] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra fills up her seventh and final captchalogue card, and starts edging towards the third and final dais
[20:06] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Standard action is to ready an attack if it moves
[20:06] <Lyra[Strategist14]> End turn
[20:07] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre shifts a bit to get more comfortable but otherwise remains still.
[20:07] <Vampsquirrel> y]Your turn again.
[20:08] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra enters the last room and places the eye on the dais, keeping an ear out for anything that sounds like an ogre standing up
[20:08] <Vampsquirrel> Nothing happens.
[20:08] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Bluh."
[20:08] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra returns to the centre room.  Ogre still there?
[20:09] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre has backed up some, but its in more or less the same place.
[20:10] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Keeping a respectable distance, Lyra circles around the ogre, approaching the crown it wears
[20:11] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre scurries back a bit.
[20:11] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Stop moving."
[20:11] <Vampsquirrel> Roll for second intimidate.

[20:12] <Vampsquirrel> roll 1d20
[20:12] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20 [ 1d20=8 ]{8}
[20:12] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre whimpers a bit, but otherwise remains still
[20:13] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra takes the crown from its head, still fully prepared to launch everything she's got if it moves
[20:13] <Vampsquirrel> A light of intelligence fades out of the ogre's eyes, it seems confused.
[20:14] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra absconds to the edge of the room.
[20:15] <Lyra[Strategist14]> End turn
[20:15] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre gets up and lumbers down the hallway away from Lyra.
[20:15] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Nope."  Lyra launches everything into its back
[20:16] <Vampsquirrel> <such cruelty>
[20:16] <Vampsquirrel> Roll 7 WIS checks and 7 1d4s
[20:17] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((Leaving one alive ended up costing her grist.  The ogre was gonna get blasted one way or another))

[20:17] <Tarane> <7#d20>

[20:17] <Lyra[Strategist14]> roll 1d20-1
[20:17] <`DICE> Lyra[Strategist14] rolled 1d20-1 [ 1d20=5 ]{4}

[20:18] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((You have got to be kidding me))
[20:18] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre escapes from the barrage of rubble unharmed, it is enraged however.
[20:18] <Vampsquirrel> It turns around and roars before charging at Lyra.
[20:19] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((There's some chunks of metal on the ground near her, right?  From the door?))
[20:20] <Vampsquirrel> ((The door predominantly remained in one piece, but there are a few pieces around))
[20:21] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra tries to duck through the door to avoid the charging ogre
[20:22] <Vampsquirrel> roll 1d20+3
[20:22] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20+3 [ 1d20=12 ]{15}
[20:22] <Vampsquirrel> roll 1d4+3
[20:22] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d4+3 [ 1d4=3 ]{6}
[20:23] <Vampsquirrel> Lyra fails to avoid the charging ogre, which slams its fist into her as it runs forward, dealing 6 damage.
[20:24] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra cries out in pain, and absconds to the room with the crystal throne
[20:25] <Vampsquirrel> roll 1d20-2
[20:25] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20-2 [ 1d20=7 ]{5}
[20:26] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre has difficulties cornering, allowing Lyra to reach the throne while it's still in the first hallway.
[20:26] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra jumps onto the throne and puts the crown on her head
[20:27] <Vampsquirrel> Lyra hears a disembodied voice in her head.
[20:27] <Vampsquirrel> "Brooooo!"
[20:29] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "So," Lyra gasps, "I guess you're controlling the imps?"
[20:29] <Vampsquirrel> "Woah, woah, woah there babe, you got me all wrong!"
[20:30] <Vampsquirrel> "I ain't controlling none of these dudes!"
[20:31] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Is there anything you CAN do?  I'm kinda hurting here."
[20:32] <Vampsquirrel> "I almost had that bitch of an ogre back there, but you took the damn crown off its head!"
[20:32] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "You were trying to kill me with it."
[20:32] <Vampsquirrel> "Nah babe, that was the ogre!"
[20:33] <Vampsquirrel> "I said almost, he was still in control!"
[20:33] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Fine.  If I get it back in the throne and crown, you can deal with it then?"
[20:33] <Vampsquirrel> "Sure thing babe!"
[20:34] <Vampsquirrel> "Just the crown really, I've been so subtle it thinks the crown gives it super powers so it'll take it back!"
[20:34] <Vampsquirrel> "I'll even give you some hella sweet swag!"
[20:35] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra snorts.  "Grist?"
[20:35] <Vampsquirrel> "Sorry babe, I ain't got that!"
[20:35] <Vampsquirrel> "But I do have something else that I think'll float that pretty little boat of yours!"
[20:36] <Vampsquirrel> "I wouldn't wanna ruin the surprise, but let's just say you'll love it!"
[20:36] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Close enough."  Lyra stands up, and hangs the crown around her wrist
[20:37] <Vampsquirrel> While Lyra conversed with the crown, the ogre has charged through the intervening hallways and is about to enter the throne room.
[20:40] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra cups the hand that isn't holding the crown, and uses her other hand to fill it with blood from the crystal throne
[20:40] <Lyra[Strategist14]> She then hides behind the throne, and ends her turn.
[20:41] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre barges into the room and looks around in confusion.
[20:41] <Vampsquirrel> roll 1d20-3
[20:41] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20-3 [ 1d20=7 ]{4}
[20:42] <Vampsquirrel> It doesn't notice Lyra, instead it stands and looks around dumbly.
[20:42] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra stays as still and quiet as she can, and readies an action to throw the blood in its eyes if it finds her
[20:43] <Vampsquirrel> roll 1d20-3
[20:43] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 1d20-3 [ 1d20=6 ]{3}
[20:43] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre seems to forget about Lyra, and goes to sit back on the throne.
[20:44] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((What are the chances Lyra is tall enough to reach the ogre's head while it's seated?))
[20:45] <Vampsquirrel> ((Very low, unless she tries to jump up to it in which case I'd say that she could probably do it))
[20:45] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra rises to her feet, then jumps up to place the crown on the ogre's head
[20:47] <Vampsquirrel> roll acrobatics check
[20:47] <Lyra[Strategist14]> roll 1d20+1
[20:47] <`DICE> Lyra[Strategist14] rolled 1d20+1 [ 1d20=17 ]{18}
[20:48] <Vampsquirrel> Lyra successfully jumps up and places the crown on top of the ogre's head.
[20:48] <Vampsquirrel> The ogre convulses for a brief moment, before adopting a relaxed position on its crystal throne.
[20:49] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "You got it, then?"
[20:49] <Vampsquirrel> "Damn right I got it!" the brogre booms.
[20:50] <Lyra[Strategist14]> ((Oh gog))
[20:50] <Vampsquirrel> "Alright babe, lets get you that swag I promised!"
[20:50] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra grins.  "Any chance it's some vitality gel?"
[20:51] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Like... a LOT of vitality gel?"
[20:51] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre stands up and begins walking down the hallway.
[20:51] <Vampsquirrel> "Naw, you don't need that stuff!"
[20:51] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra follows, letting her handful of blood splash to the ground
[20:51] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Well that's... ominous."
[20:52] <Vampsquirrel> "Nah babe, your just a woman so you shouldn't be getting all rough and tumble with us bros anyways!"
[20:52] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre pauses for a moment to flex.
[20:52] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra tries to hold in a laugh
[20:52] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra fails to hold in a laugh
[20:53] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Y'know what?  Just get me some vitality gel."
[20:54] <Vampsquirrel> "No can do babe, I haven't seen the stuff in a few centuries!"
[20:54] <Vampsquirrel> "Trust me you'll love this!"
[20:54] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Any means of healing whatsoever?  I kinda killed a whole bunch of stuff."
[20:55] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre has reached the room between the center room and the throne room.
[20:55] <Vampsquirrel> It walks up to the hunk of crystal in the center and slams its fist down on it, breaking it in half.
[20:55] <Vampsquirrel> "Nah babe, like I said you don't need healing!"
[20:56] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra captchalogues as much rubble as she can scavenge from the floor, as discretely as she can manage
[20:56] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre picks up a pen made from a dark maroon crystal.
[20:56] <Vampsquirrel> "Here ya go babe!"
[20:56] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Um.  What."
[20:57] <Vampsquirrel> He hands the pen to you.
[20:57] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra puts the pen into her strife deck.
[20:57] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "What is it?"
[20:57] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Why... why is there a PEN?"
[20:58] <Vampsquirrel> "Don't worry about it babe, leave that up to us strong-minded men!"
[20:58] <Vampsquirrel> "Anyways, I gotta go check out how shit is in my abrode, so you can let yourself out!"
[20:58] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "This place is supposed to be a fantasy dungeon crawl.  Why is the reward a PEN?"
[20:59] <Vampsquirrel> "Like I said babe, don't think about it too hard!"
[20:59] <Vampsquirrel> "You'll strain that sweet little feminine mind of yours."
[20:59] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Handwaving?  Or is it just supposed to be specific to the player's deck?"
[21:00] <Vampsquirrel> "Babe, calm down!"
[21:00] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Stop dodging the question."
[21:00] <Vampsquirrel> "The answer is, that there isn't one!"
[21:00] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Tailored to the player, then."
[21:01] <Vampsquirrel> "I don't know who made that crystal, but when I found it there was a pen!"
[21:01] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "So what's the pen DO, then?"
[21:01] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "What makes this such great 'swag'?"
[21:02] <Vampsquirrel> "I wouldn't want to spoil your fun experimenting with it, but let's just say it'll be of use to your... 'situation'!"
[21:02] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Oh great."  Lyra rolls her eyes.  "You're another vague NPC guide, huh?"
[21:02] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Does it let me fly?  Teleport, maybe?"
[21:02] <Vampsquirrel> "NPC? Nah babe, I'm a helluva player!"
[21:03] <Vampsquirrel> "Anyways, I've got important brosiness to get done, so would you mind heading out?"
[21:04] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "That was the goal, yes.  Where's the exit?"
[21:04] <Vampsquirrel> "Beats me babe, how'd you get in here?"
[21:05] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Y'know, died horribly.  Nothing particularly interesting."
[21:05] <Vampsquirrel> "Heh, that's not how people usually end up in here!"
[21:06] <Vampsquirrel> "Anyways, think I can figure a way out for you!"
[21:06] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Then how do people usually show up?"
[21:06] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre walks back to the central room.
[21:06] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra follows
[21:06] <Vampsquirrel> "They usually stumble in, rambling about some statue riddler!"
[21:07] <Vampsquirrel> "The imps came in through here though!"
[21:07] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Statue riddler."  Lyra vaguely recalls something Alex said at one point
[21:07] <Vampsquirrel> As he says this the brogre moves the rubble away from the wall in the center room, revealing a dirt passageway.
[21:07] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "That'll do it."  Lyra nods.  "What's through it?"
[21:08] <Vampsquirrel> "The surface probably!"
[21:08] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "You don't know."
[21:09] <Vampsquirrel> "Sorry babe, it caved in before I could explore it!"
[21:09] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Caved-in tunnel.  Lovely."  Lyra shakes her head.  "Alright, before I go.  What's up with the pedestals in those other rooms?"
[21:10] <Vampsquirrel> "Babe, I have no clue!"
[21:11] <Vampsquirrel> "People probably used them for some dumb important shit or something!"
[21:11] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Some cryptic guide you are.  What DO you know?"
[21:11] <Vampsquirrel> "That I'm the broiest bro you'll ever bro up with!"
[21:11] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre flexes again.
[21:12] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra bursts into laughter
[21:12] <Vampsquirrel> "Don't mock a man for getting his flex on!"
[21:13] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Sorry, you just reminded me of a thing.  Didn't mean to mock."
[21:13] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Anyway.  What're the chances you'd be willing to help a damsel in distress a bit more?"
[21:14] <Vampsquirrel> "I could help you out a bit more babe, what d'you need?"
[21:14] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Lie facedown on the ground, right here."
[21:15] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre chuckles, "Sure thing babe!"
[21:15] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre lays down.
[21:15] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra empties her Sylladex once more, directly into the back of the brogre's skull.
[21:16] <Vampsquirrel> Roll 7#d4
[21:16] <`DICE> Vampsquirrel rolled 7#d4 [ 1d4=3 ]{3}, [ 1d4=2 ]{2}, [ 1d4=1 ]{1}, [ 1d4=4 ]{4}, [ 1d4=3 ]{3}, [ 1d4=4 ]{4}, [ 1d4=4 ]{4}
[21:17] <Vampsquirrel> The sylladex's contents slam into the brogres skull so hard it dents the floor beneath it.
[21:17] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre stands up and smiles.
[21:17] <Vampsquirrel> "Rawr! Kitty got claws!"
[21:18] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Couple more times.  I just want the grist drops."
[21:18] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra re-captchalogues the rubble.
[21:18] <Vampsquirrel> "No can do sweetheart, this is the only body I got!"
[21:18] <Vampsquirrel> "YOLO, ya know?"
[21:18] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Dude.  You seriously think I won't grab you a new one?"
[21:19] <Vampsquirrel> "Any other day, sweet cheeks, but not today!"
[21:19] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Come on, bro.  It's either hang out here forever or go topside and have fun.  YOLO, right?"
[21:20] <Vampsquirrel> "I'd need way too long to take another body, and I'm not just gonna stay down here for too long!"
[21:20] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "What, you've got plans?"
[21:20] <Vampsquirrel> "Oh yeah ,babe, I've got plans!"
[21:21] <Vampsquirrel> "At least a few centuries worth!"
[21:21] <Vampsquirrel> "Now go on out, I'll catch up soon!"
[21:21] <Vampsquirrel> The brogre waves you out.
[21:22] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "In a few centuries."  Lyra stands her ground.
[21:22] <Vampsquirrel> "C'mon babe, no one likes a clingy chick!"
[21:23] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Nobody likes people who hog grist, either."
[21:23] <Lyra[Strategist14]> She scoffs.  "I thought you were supposed to be a gentleman?" ((Does this count as a Bluff check?))
[21:24] <Vampsquirrel> ((You can roll persuasion))
[21:24] <Lyra[Strategist14]> roll 1d20+4
[21:24] <`DICE> Lyra[Strategist14] rolled 1d20+5 [ 1d20=15 ]{20}
[21:25] <Vampsquirrel> "Alright babe, you've convinced me!"
[21:25] <Vampsquirrel> "I'll give you my grist on one condition!"
[21:25] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Mhmm?"
[21:26] <Vampsquirrel> "You gotta take my crown with you!"
[21:27] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Well of course.  I thought that was implied?"
[21:27] <Vampsquirrel> "Just gotta make sure babe, you wouldn't believe the kinds of people I've met!"
[21:28] <Lyra[Strategist14]> "Ugh.  People are the worst."  Lyra gestures at the ground.
[21:28] <Vampsquirrel> "Alright, fire away!" the brogre says lying back down on the floor.
[21:28] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra does so.
[21:29] <Vampsquirrel> ((Roll 7 d20s))
[21:30] <Lyra[Strategist14]> roll 7#1d20
[21:30] <`DICE> Lyra[Strategist14] rolled 7#1d20 [ 1d20=3 ]{3}, [ 1d20=17 ]{17}, [ 1d20=17 ]{17}, [ 1d20=7 ]{7}, [ 1d20=10 ]{10}, [ 1d20=12 ]{12}, [ 1d20=10 ]{10}
[21:30] <Vampsquirrel> ((Alright to expedite this process I'm just skipping all the rolling and saying the brogre dies))
[21:31] <Vampsquirrel> The rubble smashes into the brogre killing it, it explodes into a fountain of grist.
[21:31] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra collects the grist and dons the crown.  "Thanks bro, I owe you one."
[21:31] <Vampsquirrel> "No prob babe, I can work this into my sched!"
[21:32] <Lyra[Strategist14]> Lyra re-collects the three crystal eyes, then captchalogues the shovel, broom, and another three cards of rubble, before eventually making her way down the tunnel.
[21:33] <Vampsquirrel> END STRIFE
