[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;40864949]It's probably worth noting that the collapsing hotel critically damaged the Masjid al-Haram at the height of the Haiji season, which put the total bodycount at something like two million. Because if you're going to collapse the second tallest building in the world onto something it might as well be one of the largest annual gatherings in the world on top of that. I might be mistaken but at maximum capacity the Masjid al-Haram can take four million people. So the Spycraft campaign kicked off with the single worst terrorist attack in the history of the world in terms of cost (the Abraj Al Bait Hotel alone cost approximately fifteen billion dollars), loss of life (two million, give or take) and loss in terms of cultural significance (the Masjid al-Haram being possibly the most important single location in Islam; pilgrimage there is a core pillar of Islam and something every able-bodied muslim is expected to do at least once in their lifetime, not to mention the immense historical value as the place is almost two thousand years old.)[/QUOTE] Basically what happened in my head was I saw the building and I thought "When that thing collapses in a thousand or so years, that mosque is going to be ruined..." So I just sped up the process a little bit.

[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;40865983]I can't help but think we're at least slightly responsible even if we had no idea they were planning to blow the place up.[/QUOTE] "Hyena" don't give a fuck anyway.

It's also worth mentioning that without coordinating it at all we all gave ourselves animal-based code names. Faceman is Hare, Driver is Mustang, Soldier is Werewolf, Intruder is Hyena, and iirc Explorer was Fireant.

[thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/jonasmichelokos.png[/thumb] this is a really poor rendition of fireant. i drew him at school, but i screwed up his face and had to draw it again and shop it in.

[editline]2nd June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=DiscoInferno;40861480] [sp]I could have done the whole operation myself, I just didn't feel like it[/sp][/QUOTE] I would like to point out that that any of you could've. It was super easy.

Today's Pathfinder session story time: I recapped what they'd done previous since it's been like 3 weeks since our last session, then they started making their way out of the dungeon they were in. All exits were blocked by walls, but the monk found a button that lifted them. Then they killed a ranger in 1 round before he even knew they existed, and left the dungeon. They delivered a message to the headmaster of a magic academy, who I pretty much just made an homage to Big Hat Logan from Dark Souls, and then out of nowhere lightning exploded out of the sky and a nearby cave and began to strike the academy. All Logan could tell them is it [i]may[/i] have been related to an Undine student that got exspelled a few months previously. They went to the cave, and inside the Cavalier and Monk both got hit by a filthy slicer trap, the monk catching tetanus and the cavalier taking a lot of damage. Then they killed a barbarian in 1 round, and climbed down to the next floor. Down there, they found a large purple portal, and in a room nearby, encountered this: [t]http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-8djZ2fqtbjA/Tlbnd1ecxmI/AAAAAAAAARs/6QQ20BJzshk/s1600/DemonHala01_02.jpg[/t] It nearly killed the Cavalier, but he got a lucky crit on it and chopped its head off. They thought about exploring the cave some more, but then the monk straight up jumped right in to the portal, the rest of the party following behind him, and ended up in a small valley in the Abyss. They quickly backtracked the fuck out. Then they found and killed a rogue, then left to tell Logan about the hala demon and the portal. When they got back, the portal was closed. The Undine was nowhere to be found, but they learned that her name is Muira. It felt like a lot more got done when we were actually playing.

[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;40871671]Two words. [IMG]http://www.lomion.de/cmm/img/snail.gif[/IMG] Flail. Snail.[/QUOTE] I nearly killed some of my party members with one of these in Pathfinder. They underestimated its flailiness pretty badly.

[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;40871671]Two words. [img]http://www.lomion.de/cmm/img/snail.gif[/img] Flail. Snail.[/QUOTE] If I ever encounter this or something like this, my character shall legitimately just walk away and say No.

It's speed is ten feet by the way... you can just walk around it.

Yeah that's a perfectly legitimate strategy. They won't even chase you that far.

[QUOTE=Funktastic Dog;40872640]It's speed is ten feet by the way... you can just walk around it.[/QUOTE] what if it's standing in front of the only door and refuses to move?

[QUOTE=elowin;40873417]what if it's standing in front of the only door and refuses to move?[/QUOTE] They shy away from light. Large amounts of salt will also work for a couple of rounds, but then they ramp up slime production to compensate, like the Borg

Hmm, if they don't like light, lasers must be super effective.

[QUOTE=elowin;40873864]Hmm, if they don't like light, lasers must be super effective.[/QUOTE] That would probably cause overpenetration.

[QUOTE=DiscoInferno;40873927]That would probably cause overpenetration.[/QUOTE] I think that's a good thing

I would consider lasers fire damage. They're immune to that. The flail snail seems agitated from the laser fire. Its flails begin waving back and forth more violently, but it does not yet leave the door to pursue you.

fatespin flail snail is a potato

how can something that hates light be immune to fire? jesus christ next we're gonna have vampires that heal themselves by bathing in lava

[QUOTE=elowin;40874471]how can something that hates light be immune to fire? jesus christ next we're gonna have vampires that heal themselves by bathing in lava[/QUOTE] what if it's like really good fire so efficient it wastes none of it's energy for generating light and only emits heat

[QUOTE=Mastahamma;40874532]what if it's like really good fire so efficient it wastes none of it's energy for generating light and only emits heat[/QUOTE] that would be boring the day such fires become the norm is the day i will no longer be pyromanic and each and every hour i shall pray to our lord and savior Nerts that he makes fires fun again

[QUOTE=elowin;40874471]how can something that hates light be immune to fire? jesus christ next we're gonna have vampires that heal themselves by bathing in lava[/QUOTE] They're afraid of light because they don't wanna get dried out in the sun.

[QUOTE=DarkMonkey;40874602]They're afraid of light because they don't wanna get dried out in the sun.[/QUOTE] but but fire dries things and then burns them and emits light

[QUOTE=elowin;40874607]but but fire dries things and then burns them and emits light[/QUOTE] Long-term, sure. But until their mucus is dried out they're just peachy.

Reading all this lore and fluff on Exalted is actually pretty awesome. It's even better considering they purposely wanted to avoid the usual Tolkien-inspired fantasy worlds.

I don't feel like I'd do it justice, but CoC's first session was great. "I fuckin hate bears"

I think it's a pity that the "Protection from energy" spell doesn't protect you from kinetic energy.

You guys are aware of the kickstarter campaign for CoC v7 right? It's pretty cool and they have already received three times more dosh than they asked for. Im gonna pledge 100 bucks so I can get the hardcover books. Edit: Damn, just found out I can't afford to do a pledge right now, and I probably won't get enough dosh before the kickstarter ends.
