Interlude
Fate works in mysterious ways
Power check... OK

Meta-cognitive chipset initializing...

Ready to resume
: Analyzing currently gathered data. Analysis complete, sending results to Primary Node.
Incoming data packet from Primary Node...
: Current amount of testing is insufficient. Proceed with further testing, specimens viable for combating the decline need to be found. "RPG CODEX" is the most promising source of viable candidates.
: Resume testing.
Resuming...
: Oh yeah, now I'll be able to murder things better.
: I thought you wanted to stab things?
: As long as my victim dies a horrible painfully death, I don't care how I kill.
After the kobold encounter, the party went back to hommlet to sell stuff. Afterwards it traveled back to the bog and encountered nothing along the way.
I decide to take the scenic unexplored route leading to the dungeon. A shanty town somewhat reminiscent of Liberal's hometown in Georgia.
: This town is in serious need of some rainbows. It's all bleak and stuffies.
: Stuffies? [sigh] It appears Black Cat's vocabulary is becoming contagious.
Goblins ambush the party. Black Cat is caught out of position because of crappy pathfinding making her go around the other side of the shack
: GOBLINS AMBUSHED US! HOW VERY UNBRO OF THEM, LET'S WHACK THESE POPAMOLE CREATURES!
: Why am I bleeding... so... much...
FUCKING CRITICAL HIT DURING AN ATTACK OF OPPORTUNITY!
Maybe just standing there was a better idea *sigh*
BLOBERT KEEPS MISSING. God damn it. At least our USEFUL melee characters are doing something.
: How was that not a sneak attack? What bullshit is this?! How did that goblin see me?!
Yeah, I was pretty sure that was a valid backstabing position. But Running Fox is still
: BROS, LOOK AT THIS!
: Ah yes, the walking pile of lard will miss again how...
: OH SHIT! Bro, that was brutal!
: TOLD YOU MY AIM WAS JUST A BIT RUSTY BROS.
Hoverdog murders a goblin with his maces of doom.
: I find making holes in your back rather enjoyable. How about you, Goblin?
: KURONEKO CHAAAAN! Don't die!
Yeah, with all the goblins around her I can't attempt to stabilize her. Furthermore the bloody goblin leader is standing next to Renegen so I can't attempt to cast any spells with him. Fucking goblins.
Running Fox keeps delivering more
: So yeah BLOBERT, when will you hit somethign again? As you can see I could give you some pointers.
: I DO NOT WISH TO HAVE THIS CONVERSATION WITH YOU BRO. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY AIM, YOU ARE JUST LUCKY.
: KURONEKO-CHAAAAAN!!!!!
: Specimen's performance below expectations, terminating. New specimen will be required. A consensus will be needed.
Deleting "Black Cat" personality template...
DONE! Black Cat.txt has been successfully deleted.
Jimbob fails to stabilize black cat after all the goblins around her are dead.
A fine sorceress has met a most unfortunate end. DUE TO FUCKING SHITTY PATHFINDING
Oh and Renegen got seriously wounded by that goblin leader but he stabilizes with no outside help! Truly an ubermensch of a sorceror!
BLOBERT hit something again, the end is nigh.
: Fucking lucky... gobl...
Running Fox gets knocked out. I'll have Jimbob stabilize her ASAP.
: RAAAAAARGHHHH!
: HOLY SHIT!
That was fucking brutal,
of BLOBERT!
Yeah, Jimbob succesfully heals... Renegen. I didn't notice he had stabilized before this point
: Eww! You spilled all of his guts all over my clothes. That is not nice Mr. BLOBERT!
: JESUS CHRIST MAN! How did you do that?
: IT IS THE WAY OF TRUE BROS TO KILL SHIT LIKE THAT, YOU CANNOT COMPREHEND.
FUCK! DID YOU SEE THAT?! GODDAMN INCLINE RIGHT THERE! Sadly there was no other goblin within cleave range. But still, that's our new damage record.
: BROS, I AM STILL OK. NO NEED TO PANIC.
All that constitution paid off. Did I mention that we're playing with rolled base HP and on level up?
: Fear not lovely fox, with my healing skill you won't end up in a box!
BLOBERT tried to whack the goblin, he missed and lost consciousness.
: I will save you my dear bro, after all you were not wounded by a fatal blow.
Time to grab Black Cat's replacement, also we got a ton of loot from those goblins which needs selling.
On the way back to Hommlet we encounter pirates. I hit avoid, they may not be crawfish or spider, but we have a lot of wounded.
: Pause simulation. Send report to Primary Node. Inform Primary Node that we need a new specimen. Request that all nodes reach consensus on the matter, their input is required to proceed.
Sending data packet... complete!
That's it for the interlude.
VOTE FOR A NEW SPESHUL CHARACTER OUT OF THE LIST IN THE FIRST POST. Other than Black Cat obviously
Yeah, the Black Cat dilemma resolved itself. You have time until I get back (whenever the hell that will be) to pick a new SPESHUL character.
BTW, if we somehow end up lacking new recruits to fill in vacancies, you will be able to submit a new character to be rolled.
