Derenyanai, The Journey @derenyanai - Tumblr Blog

Now that Magic and Masterminds is finished, I can share some of my favorite pogs that I made for the session! In order…

- Countess Pugguie Mary; the humanoid form of the “pug of death”. A Vampire/Werewolf hybrid who preferred remaining in her dog form.

- Aetius’ true shape; a dullahan who watched over the Sleepy Hollow. Very rarely in his true shape.

- Atticus Maruska; or Nevan Dehime’s dead body being piloted by the soul of the man who killed his mentor. Atticus had no magic to speak of- instead relying on weaponry to fight his battles.

- The Big Bad, Steven; a lich who sought to take over Araquu for the ley-line it rested atop. In the end, he was defeated by the power of friendship, and also being hit really really hard.

- Azurite’s true shape; a dragon from Eiriol’s home world, and one of her friends. Works at the Sleepy Hollow.

- Cadwgan; a fearsome dragon who also hailed from Eiriol’s home world, and was in fact the cause of their migrating to Earth. He worked for Steven largely for the chance to cause chaos, though wasn’t happy about being his literal dragon, and was defeated and then imprisoned.

If you want to watch/listen to Magic and Masterminds, you can do so here.

Ashes of the Old World Session Branch 13-B Part 6

Time: Sometime after Session 12 Characters: Zealous Terminator

This is a continuation from Part 5

If you would like to start from the beginning here is Part 1

"Well, that happened." Zealous, I, said.

"I have a night hag in a basement i didn't know i had, fucking dammit" Daniels groans loudly

"Well... we can try to seal the crack up, but she'll come back around. Thought you said you didn't have a cellar?"

"that i just said, just now, that i didn't know i had"

"Hm, this is very worrisome."

"NO SHIT" Daniels flails his arms up "Still we need to deal with this, we don't know what shes doing or when shes comign back up, we might not have time to unbarrel the door" Legs doing a talk

"I was worried you'd say that." I muttered quietly, "Alright, let's just... let just find a way to get down to the basement and see what we can find."

"Give Me a Momment...Now its vodka." Daniels gives up spinning his wheel and stands up from the crease "Think a good whack'll open it?"

"I suppose so? Anyone got a hammer?"

"I got this hammer!" Legs does a kick it, oh hey it...it did an open!

"Oh.... well... good job Legs! I knew it was a good idea to bring you along!" I cheered and I charged into the hole.

your allies come in shortly after, there is this nice slide all the way down before you land, in this lair, with the glowing table the rack of random misc things the cauldron, and a bed

"Okay, but can you please not?"

"Nyeeehehehehehehe, Not wishing to dance with granny?, thats fine, I'll let you go on one condition" The night hag cackles

"And that is?"

"Slap that pretty little potion seller on my table and end his life" The granny cackles "The fuck, no, Fuck you, fuck off" Daniels having a standard reaction

"Okay but why? I am curious, does it benefit you in any way?"

>roll persuasion "Wouldn't wanna spoil the surprise~nyeeehehehehehehe"

"Well alright then... anyone know how to beat a ghost?"

"Magic mostly, and sliver, No, but shes not one of those, Shes slipping in and out of the etheral plane using magic." Daniels explains >Roll initiative, HERE WE GOOOOO

screm noises

i charge forward toward her, screaming at her to intimidate.

SO Despite using the same exact tactic used at the start of the last fight, You does a spook her, And she a frighten, bumping her ac down -2

Nice.

>daniels turn

Daniels moves in to swing the whip!

Well that was hilarious at the very least, as the hag swats daniels whip away >her turn

she casting a spell pew pew, The sleep spell!!! causing Legs to fall asleep >Legs turn but he asleep >Zealous Turn

I START PUMMELING SHIT INTO HER WITH MY OWN HANDS.

Landing some mean hits on her, Granny body >Daniels Turn

So, I am going to try to have Daniels dispell the ward in the middle of the room, if that's possible?

>Roll his Arcana Magic is alot like math, it hard to understand to some people, like daniels for example

Granny turn Granny uses more spell shenanigans, casting magic missle at Daniels with all 3 darts causing 12 force damage >Legs still sleep, >Zelaous Turn

I CONTINUE TO PUMMEL FISTS IN HER FACE.

Grannies snoot got booped by that first hit, but the second she swayed away from, If it hadn't become abundtly clear, Shes "resisting' this kind of damage quite well >Daniels turn

"GRAH! I CAN'T DO SHIT. I DON'T KNOW MAGIC. DANIELS, I NEED SOME ADVICE HERE!”

Daniels continue to figure the ward thingy.

In Daniels attempt he's somehow made it worse, and its glowing brighter "ummm...WELL FUCK" >her turn

She casts sleep again and Daniels is doing a sleep now too....Or he would be, but his elf ancestry prevents doing a sleep from magic >Legs turn...Oh wait >Zealous

ALRIGHT THEN. I RUN TOWARD THE WOODEN PIECE OF THE FLOOR THING AND START RIPPING IT UP.

>Str check fucking destroyed

"HAH! HAH! HAAAAAAAAAAAH!" I shouted at top of my lungs as I rip it board BY BOARD!

Christ, >Daniels Turn

Daniels should try to check and see if the ward has been dispelled through physical means.

Well >Roll arcana then "Shits Broken" Daniels says "How dare you pretties, now its going to take me months to make another ward, grrrr" >her turn

"All of the effort goes to foiling your plan, Granny!"

She does cast another magic missle, at zealous this time for 11 force damage >Legs lies there undisturbed unable to wake on his own >Zealous turn

"OUCH." I yelped out in pain from the magic missiles, "I'LL MAKE YOU REGRET THAT!" I ran toward the shelves on the right of the room, What do I see?

>Roll investigation There is a series of frogs on the shelf, A strange horn, A jar with actual fire in it somehow still on despite the lack of air, Wierd packets with dust inside, a whole tube full of actual glitter, 3 bottles full of various liquids, and just, so many potion components, presumably stolen from daniels

And a whole cauldron beside that

Can I pull the shelf down, maybe?

The whole shelf full of potentially unstable materials and magic items? shit fam okay

I PULL IT DOWN.

...........

But real question tho. Did she regret it?

Stacking a shelf full of unstable materials, yeah shes had about a moment to regret it before being obliterated

NICE Now second question, did Zealous survive that?

You can possibly, if you can roll stupid high on your dex save

And so ends the story of Zealous Terminator, Obliterating a dangerous Night Hag Along with himself, saving Possibly alot of people at the cost of exploding, You meet up with the diety Dé in the afterlife she looks down upon you and "Welcome, Zealous Terminator, I'm surprised you didn't end up here sooner, but we're glad you came when you did"

"Wait, where am I? What is this? The fuck is you?"

"I am the god of death, You're dead"

"No, I am Zealous Terminator."

THE END

Ashes of the Old World Session Branch 13-B Part 5

Time: Sometime after Session 12 Characters: Zealous Terminator

This is a continuation from Part 4

If you would like to start from the beginning here is Part 1

Alright, I head on over toward the crease and then turned to Daniels, "Hey, was that there when you bought the store?"

"What was the-..... i actually hadn't noticed that the hell?!"

"Welp, looks like we can set a trap in here and see if the thieves comes through here."

"You are dangerously more clever than i gave you credit for...." Daniels sounding surprised so imma allow short rest untill they arrive, so you can roll some hit die if you wish

Ye! Just 1 die

for the Duration of this quest you will have access to both Daniels and Legs sheets in the allies folder, Are you going to do anything before thier arrival?

Hm..... I don't think so.

Just gonna stand out in the open, or try and hide?

Ah! In that case, yeah, I'll first make a trap if possible. Then hide.

Neat, what kind of trap are you setting up?

Some sort of.... thumbtacks traps. They enter certain spot- they get pointy things in their feet.

>Roll survival to set this up, there not much materials around to make em, but you may make do

These caltrops are terribly made but they'll do the job

>roll stealth to hide Well, it might be hard for them Not to notice the birghtly dress wrestling gnome Anyway, Shortly around when the night falls, A noise starts crackling around the stone crease

I wait it out until they step into the trap!

A silky black smoke starts spilling out from the Crease, It looks thin at first but it grows and thickens, untill it starts forming a figure which takes solid form soon after, A strange humanoid figure stretches thier arms and cackles softly, their feet kicking against the caltrops to which they look down at them

"Oh great, it's a weird ghost. Man, I should've brought a white sheet like I said I was gonna."

"Got yourself curious whose takin your stuff, you fools did, a poor old lady such as myself wouldn't hurt a fly....you however~ Nyeehehehehehehe" >Roll initiative, she doin a hostile, and by that i mean roll all the initiatives Legs first

I shall have Legs run toward the ghosty thingy and kick twice!

He flailing his kickies, but each hit misses, what noticable is that this opponenet is dodging, not just staning there >daniels turn

In that case... I shall have Daniels do Entangle!

The roots spring forth from the ground, though there effort valiant, can't seem to cling to the Lady, as she tugs pretty hard away from them >Zealous Turn

I run toward the ghastly woman in a barbaric rage! I trigger Rage once more! And I am going to try to intimidate her.

"Ooh little sweetie look at you trying to act big, Grannie'll have to give you a cookie, a cookie of death! nyeehehehehehehe" She doesn't seems very phased unfortunatly >her turn

She castin Magic Missles at ya'll three, a dart for each of you, dealing force damage, 2 to daniels, 4 to legs, and 3 to Zealous, this damage is uneffected by rage >Legs turn

I shall have Legs resume the kicking!

Only the second kick hits! with a small "ouf" followed by a giggle, the attack isn't dealing much to her >Daniels turn

I shall need time to look through the book of spells Daniels moves to Entangle the granny witch once more!

Just barely managed to wrap her, advantage on attack rolls for as long as shes stuck >Zealous turn

"ALRIGHT DANIELS. NOW IT'S TIME FOR.... ZEALOUS TERMINATOOOOOOOOR" I proceed to do 3x attack, spending a ki How does advantage roll apply?

A wild barrage, against her each hit landing perfectly, they don't seem like they're doing as much as they could though..... > her turn

She rips through the vines very shortly after the attack, her cackling growing, because an action was needed to do this > legs turn

LEGS SHALL CONTINUE THE KICKING!

Legs gets a foot up in his attacks! landing both strikes >daniels turn

Daniels does the entangling thing! Because that worked before and it worked so well.

With what spell slots?

[ you may have to explain that rule to me, I am new to spell slots ]

spell slots determine how much you can cast things a day, Daniels is out of these cause hes only got one level in a spellcaster class druid, so hes only got 2 1st level slots, and can only cast cantrips now

[ oh in that case, erm.... I also assume he cannot cast cure wounds further in the game too? ]

Yeah, he fresh out, going to have to rely on cantrips or his, rouge and fighter multi-classes

[ alright, just checking ] In that case, I shall have Daniels somehow sneak away out of sight.

>Sleath, this is the Hide action LOOK IT THIS SNEAKY BITCH

[ doubt I can attack with Daniels? ]

you still have movement otherwise >zealous Turn

AS FOR ZEALOUS TERMINATOR. I SHALL DO A ROAR AND BEAT HER UP

You manage to boop her with the first hit, however she is cackling loudly >Lady turn

She doin a claw at Legs with her lengthly old lady nails, Dealing 13 slashing damage >Legs turn

Ouch... well... Legs continue do his thing with kickings?

did he star in footloose? cause...fuck where was i going with this? nevermind, he can't seem to land a solid hit on this old lady >Daniels turn

Daniels does the thing with net?

Daniels toses his net and it lands cleany on the old lady tanglign her up, This does about the same thing the entangle did, until she can free her self >zealous turn

I shall have my fists fly at her once more!

The net makes it awfully hard for her to dodge, however cackling with each hit you land >Her Turn

She suprisingly has a hard time escaping the net >Legs turn

Legs shall resume kicking the granny down!

A whirlwind of kicks knock against this granny, looking like its discomforting her greatly >daniels turn

Daniels shall move forward and attack with a whip!

Daniels is having a solid time hitting the granny wit his whip >zealous turn

I SHALL DO THE DOUBLE WHAMMY

The whammy is mostly certianly doubled, dealing her some boops on her snoot >Her turn

She suddenly tears apart the net with her lentghly nails, cackling loudly >legs turn

"Well, this isn't working out quite well, anyone have any ideas!?"

" I mean we could try fla-" Legs about to suggest but Daniels shouts out

"I HAVE A BRILLIANT IDEA" turning to his wheel

"Oh boy, I wonder what this idea is!" Zealous said.

going to have to wait until his turn untill then, Legs

Aight then. I shall have Legs continue kicking the shit out of her

shes actually blocking now, with her hands, cackling loudly >Daniels turn

And Daniels was gonna do...

He runs to his wheel and spins it...water comes out "...wait shit, dammit" >zealous turn

I am going to try to grapple her!

>roll athelitics you got her gripped tightly "little sweetie giving granny a hug, how sweet, so sweet you might die nyeehehehehehehehehe" >her turn

Your arms start going right through her as she turns back into the mysterious fog, and slips back into the crease

Ashes of the Old World Session Branch 13-B Part 4

Time: Sometime after Session 12 Characters: Zealous Terminator

This is a continuation from Part 3

If you would like to start from the beginning here is Part 1

You wake up sometime later, head hurting somefin fierce, good thing this wasn't a death match or...well you get the idea

I check around my belt to see if this fukr stole my money pouch!

He's actually sitting right to you happyly humming a turn, your belt of money is still with you, you're currently on one of the tables tha used to have people cheering, actually....the building looks empty now"

I looked at him and then rubbed my own face. Man, that guy sure had given me a beating. I should have thought about the consequences... but it was a worth a shot. "Alright, alright... you got me good, fair and square."

"Heck yeah i did, Thanks for the Pr, Makin my potions look impressive, should have seen the crowd reaction, I mean you were unconcious at the time, but whatever" he laughs, Daniels hands zealous a bottle of red looking liquid

I look at the bottle of red, "I take it this is the same potion? What is that called?"

"What? No, Its healing, not gonna just hand out strentgh potions, those are expensive" Daniels Scoffs

"Alright, alright... well... thanks." I said as I pulled out my bag and gave him 300 gp in return as I retrieve the potion, "Here's your reward as promised."

"Gotta another deal for you actually, You can keep that gold And I'll help you out with Sexy Fred, i'll even throw in 300 myself, if you do a little something for me"

"Hm? And that is?" I ask.

Oh also get 1000 exp for beating Legs

"Someones been breaking into my shop after dark and stealing my stuff, my really expensive stuff, Every night for the past three days, Guards can't seem to help because, of course they can't, so perhaps you can....wait for them and teach them a lesson?"

"What sort of lessons? I need to know so I can carry proper equipments! I kinda need to, I told Legs that he should, and I should represent that very example."

"Just....Kick them out of my store, spook them off, Try not to kill them, key word being try" Daniels frowns

"Okay, I'll need to bring some ghost costumes then."

"........" Daniels just looks at zealous "Sure...I...Whatever man, you do you" giving you the adress to his shop and the time to come by

[you gonna drink the health potion or....?]

[ yeah of course ]

its a juicy good health potion giving you 31 hp

Whenever Zealous inevitably exits the building, the arena fighty punchy building known as Richards Butter Slam, on the way to [insert location here] he doth percieving sounds of a rough and loud banging nature within an alleyway nearby, this shrouded space between two adajecent structures, holding a mystery of vaguely mysterious description, like what in my bag of cereal, does get toy? and then you realize it 2017 and they dont do that anymore and you do a cry in your soul

In that case! I shall inspect the sounds! Off I go! TROTTING MY WAY OVER THERE!

Looks like one of the opponents you've had in the arena previously, Legs, is having a rough house with some angry looking fellows "I lost 100 credits on you, so i'mma show you what happens to losers in this city" is said by atleast one of them peoples with the moustaches an hat, Legs dosen't look like he's recovered very much from his last fight

I wasn't liking what I was seeing. After the first second at glancing this, immediately afterwards, without thinking.... I ran toward them with my arms flailing and I am screaming at top of my lungs in order to scare them away.

>Roll intimidate Well you've certainly startled them, an amount of them actually step back with concern

"I AM ZEALOUS TERMINATOR AND THIS IS MY SIDEPUNCH, LEGS!" I shout at top of my lungs. I hope they get the pun.

...Omfg, Well they don't appear to get it, Legs seems to laugh under his breath "You just git outta here this dosen't concern you" One of them says with their mouth words

"THIS CONCERNS ME! You are attacking a man who fights in the ring! You attack him, you attack me as well! He fought well, you punks! I'll show you why he lost to me if you dare!" I pound my chest with my fists, "Unless you are scared!?"

Three have come up to you pulling out sords >roll initiative

wow 20

I activate the RAGE. And then punch the man on my right.

>roll away A narrow miss, the Bandit just barely shifts out of the way of the punch >Bandit turn

Somehow all three of them fucking miss, as they just can't seem to land a single swing onto your supple gnome flesh >your turn

AH YES! IT'S TIME! I TURN TO THE SAME BANDIT AND THEN SWING MY PUNCHES AWAY LIKE MACHINE GUN

Knocked across and into a stray barrel, this bandits be two, remain and it is their turn

Despite thier attempt at flanking they somehow keep rolling stupid low, you can partially see when they miss thier own sords hitting against each other >your turn

I flip backwards behind the bandit and start pummeling away on this man's spine! Acrobatics first?

acrobatics then the opposite bandit aquires an attack of oppurtunity which bandit?

The one behind me. In this instance, the one on the left.(edited) I MEAN RIGHT. Right.

oppurtunity attack hits,Take 3 slashing damage, reduced to 2 becuase rage, and you flip over him like a majestic fuckign eagle

AND NOW THEN, I WAIL AWAY ON THIS BANDIT!

You bap him about once in the back with a resounding yelp from him afterward .bandit turn

One manages to clip your shoulder while the other is a fucking dissapointment, take 7 damage reduced to 4 because rage. >your turn

EXCELLENT! I continue to pummel into the same bandit!

And he's out sliding along the ground like a sack of potatoes, one remains, and he's looking mighty concerned turning to the rest for help but they've fled, and so will he

I'll let him flee to tell the stories to his friends about the fearsome Zealous Terminator!!! But my mind is elsewhere, I turn to Legs and walked toward him, "You alright?"

"I will recover, thank you for the aid, Hopefully i can repay the favor somehow"

"Actually.... there's one way you can do that... I am kind of in a jam. I need to scare off some goons at a guy's house. An extra pair of hands will be nice."

"Oh, well I can certainly lend a hand, or a foot" legs nods Ally aquire: LEGS the half-elf

"Excellent! We should be on our way to collect things. The guy would like to get that sorta thing done asap." I said.

Alright so Legs is going to be following you, any preperations you're going to make before going to the potion dudes place?

I should probably find some health potions for Legs! And some to take to the guy's house.

alright, given how populated this city is, isn't to hard to find several potion stores, and alchemists and what have you, but the consistent price for your standard health potion is 50gp

Alright, I'll buy 5. So that's 250 gp.

Indeed, Alright good stuff you now have 5 health potions

Alright, so I hand two potions over to Legs and three to keep myself. "Alright Legs, I am going to go ahead and give you two. If you don't need the other one, you can hand it back to me after this is done?"

"Thank you very much" he downs both of them, looking significantly better than before

"Alright, I guess not!" He shrugs and then makes his way toward the place with Legs!

When you near your destination you notice its a building with the sign [Potion Roulette] above the door, and next to another building with a similiar sign that says [Shop of many things], it seems this is his store and not his actual home that he need people spooked out of

"Alright, we are here Mr. Legs! Let let's see if this guy's home so we can let him know we'll patrol the place out."

Upon entering The dude is inside, he waves at you, The majority of this building just seems to consist of this massive roullete wheel and a series of barrel on the wall, "Ah! good you came, Its rather difficult to run this business with the thieves having thier way with my things" Legs is squinting at this gentleman

"Ah! I brought a friend, I hope you don't mind." I guesture toward Legs and then to the man, "This is the man I was telling you about."

"Oh,you....." Your employer groans "Well i can bare helping this cheater i guess" Legs Sighes "Its not cheating if the rules allow me to do it" They apparantly already know each other

"Hey, hey... I got beaten by this guy fair and square. It's our fault for not establishing rules when it comes to potions or spells either." I said, "Anyway, let bygones be bygones. We have important things to do."

"........" "Yes of course, either way, Some time during the night someone manages to keep entering my shop and steal the potion components I use for my wheel, its becoming....expensive to replace each time, I locked up my doors at night, they get in, I've even bricked up my windows and they still get in, I don't know how, its frustrating" Daniels explains "So i figure if i have someone here when it happens, Bam, spooked the thieves, or atleast give them second thoughts"

"Hm.... do you have a cellar somewhere?" I ask.

"....Not that im aware of, When i had purchased the space, it was merely a cube space with a door and some windows, admitly it use to be apart of the shop next door but there has been renovations since then"

"We should probably check out if there's any tunnels in this place that leads to this store. It's worth checking.... hey Legs? Mind helping me move these barrels to block the doors and windows in case we spook them? I don't want them running out of the houses that way."

"Sure thing Zealous my man" "I was gonna leave while you two....nevermind guess i'm staying" " :D " So you barrel that door up real good

"Sorry mate. If you happened to see them enter a particular way, you'd know how to bar them from entering the place next time too." I say as I look around.

"....Fair enough" Daniels lil unhappy but dealing wit it >roll perception There is this straneg crease in between a couple bricks where you moved the barrels from

Time: Sometime after Session 12 Characters: Zealous Terminator

This is a continuation from Part 2

If you would like to start from the beginning here is Part 1

"Erm, can I earn five minutes of rest? I am kind of.... well... hurt from my last fight." I gestured to myself, "Wallopings from feet hitting my face is very taxing on my health, y'know."

"Well that a shame then, I have to be off shortly, I certianly can't wait that long" The mans muscles seem to be growing exponentially after drinking the potion, It looks like hes both drinking performance enhancing potions and trying to get you to fight you while you weakened from the last fight

I look at him for few moments, pondering the possible consequences if I agree to thi- "DEAL. LET'S DO IT."

>rolllll initiative again

[ I got 17 ]

Baron Dan Daniels is cracking his knuckles, Your turn

I screamed as I head toward the man with my hands flailing about! I swing and swing! (Using a Ki point to send this man flying back.)

Open hand technique? Gotta use flurry of blows when doing that

You manage to just hail this elf man, this danny elf man with furious and repeated attacks for a total of 12 dmg, but cant manage to knock him back it seem the potion is makign him real stronk, "Hmm hmmm.." He winds up real good and, wait did this fuck just cast a magic??? Entagling roots just spurt from the ground

Oh boy.

You've become stuck in these magic vines, your turn

Well... it seems like I am in a spot of a trouble! In this case... I suppose I'll have to go Captain America style on this boyo! I grip the giant door from my back and fling it like a frisbee!

while suffering the restrained condition this is going to be at a disadvantage

The shield swings past the baron and gets caught in the fish net walls, then falls landing behind him, his turn

Daniels baps is fists together and hits you in the entagled snoot for 7 dmg, your turn

I am going to start ripping the roots out!

Str Check You are still stuck, Daniels turn

He's just wailing away at you while you're stuck, this fukr take 7 dmg, your turn again

I inhale and let out a roar as I start to grapple with this man's hands as an attempt to buy myself some time.

Athletics at disadvantage this fights going south really quickly, as his turn rides around the corner

One last punch and everything goes black

Ashes of the Old World Session Branch 13-B Part 2

Time: Sometime after Session 12 Characters: Zealous Terminator

This is a continuation from Part 1

The tackling dosen't seem to hit, as he does a ballet spin around it but the wailing there after does hit his floor leg, he takes 8 dmg and its, his turn

"Get me where my name sake is eh? well guess i'll have to break your zealous!!!" Legs chops down with both his hands, you've easyly moved out the way of one but the other hits your shoulder take 7 dmg, however the first attempt has him off balance next attack against him gets advantage, Your turn

At this moment, I felt rage boil in my stomach. I ACTIVATE MY BARBARIAN'S RAGE. I claw at my face as I yell an inhuman scream. I gripped the man's wrist and flip him over my back. (On my second attack, I attempt to force him into submission by pulling on his arm. Grapple first?)

Fun thing to note Rage activation is a bonus action, your second monk attack is a bonus action, you only get one bonus action

Oh shit. Okay. I'll not do the rage activation then.

Roll us some Grapple, while you only use athletics, he gets the choice between acro and athletics to oppose it

Well shit man you nearly had him, but he manage to pull his hand away in time, its still your turn

Your secondary attack dosen't quite cut it either with is GOSH DANG LEGS allowing him to move back enough avoid gnome kicks, his turn

"YOU SLEAZY OLD HAG, you got some oil on your body to slip through my grip, doncha!?"

"Nothing but these battle hardened one hundred percent legs!" Legs exclaims patting his legs, seems to make him feel better as he rush force toward you does him a round house, take seven more dmg, your turn

I yelped out in pain as I took a foot to the nose. I push myself from the ground and then grunted. Now I activate the Rage. I dash toward Legs and slid in order to sweep him off of the ground!

Does him a jump over you he does, with his legs, that he has, he spins round attempting to kick you in the butt twice, BUTT only one strike lands take only 3 dmg because rage, your turn

"Gosh darn it!" I growled as I pat down my face, "Stop that! Stop your fancy leg work, you overgrown leperchaun!"

Legs look at Zealous with a deadpan "I'm Legs, its my whole shit"

"And what would you do if someone breaks them!?" "Legless?"

"I'll burn that bridge when I get to it" Legs shrugs

"I'LL BREAK YOU AND YOUR TITLE! I AM ZEALOUS TERMINATOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!" I yelled my war cry as I charged for Legs and attempted to do a flip in order to plant my legs on Legs' chest and kick him in the chin. Twice. (Using a Ki point).

Fifteen straight damage to his chin parts, to which he starts bleeding, he's look a little wobbly, but does his best to shake himself out of it and send out a flurry of leg blows, which you've manage to to weave mostly through, take only 4 dmg because rage, your turn

"NOW.... FOR YOUR LEGS..." I wiggled my fingers devilishly. (This is intimidate.)

>Give it a roll, this is goign to be an action tho

"Bring it on Zealous, My legs shall bare any storm!!!" Legs dosen't seem scared

I run towards him and attempt to grab his legs!

Unfortunatly, you've spent you action for your turn, its his move

In that case, it's his turn.

Legs attacks becoming less and less accurate, his exaustion showing with each leg flurry, Take only 2 dmg with rage, your turn

I scream as I bite my teeth, open, close, open, close. That's quite terrifying. I swing my hands at Legs' legs! I can't really punch him up there considering the size but...

Thud, he's out cold, his reserves couldn't withstand your final strikes, knocking the legs out from under legs, his face planting onto the solid wooden crate platform That crowd cheers loudly, chanting ""Zealous terminator, Zealous Terminator, Zealous Terminator!!!"

"THAT'S RIGHT! YELL OUT MY NAME! I AM ZEALOUS TERMINATORRRRRRRRRRRR!"

The crowd continues to do so as staff drag Legs out of the Platform. "Zealous Teminator, Zealous Terminator! Woooooooo!"

"Okay guys, guys, guys...." He looks over toward Legs who presumably got dragged out and then back at the audience, "Who is Sexy Fred?"

SO, let me just, track this train of events for second, You went to the librabry to find pit fight lore, you learn about sexy fred, after not getting information from a random student about him, you go to a pit fighting arena beat up a man named legs, and then ask audience....okay

....Alright so you know how its hard to hear an explination through multiple people talking all at once, now imagine a whole audience, >Roll perception

you can swear you heat at least two people talk about bees for no apparant reason, three are trying to explain, Four are noisely complaining about losing a bet while the rest are still chanting zealous terminator,

"Wow, this guy must be completely nonexistent then." I muttered to myself quietly and then shrugs. "Alright, here's a deal guys. I'll play more of these fights if one of you all can get me information on Sexy Fred!"

A new set of footprint on the Wooden Crate Platform Stage, Strolling behind him "Tell you what My man, i got an offer for you"

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeess?"

"Defeat me and i'll lay some exposition at you revolving sexy fred and give you 300 gold, Lose, and you'll give me that amount" He appears to be downing a potion after that statment, with a burp at the end

Ashes of the Old World Session Branch 13-B Part 1

Time: Sometime after Session 12 Characters: Zealous Terminator

Starting things off for the hell of it, Zealous, You're in Anxe, a city known for being really tall and built out of mostly towers, the excited comradery and celebration of the populace is fairly loud after the wierd spider invasion has been fought off recently in part thanks to your "friends" , Your "friends" are currently having to deal with tarnocks trial coming up, something about a guard going missing, as you might have been told by uncle ashara, either while he was drunk or slightly less drunk, either way you have free reign to explore, what do you do?

"Hm, I wonder where everyone is at right now?" I wonder quietly as I step through a door, looking about himself to get an idea of what the whole place looks like at this time of the day. At this very moment, I felt like actually exploring the library for some books on famous wrestlers. Hopefully I can find some interesting lore.

The library is a dusty bastard, people with pointy hats and vaguely important looking educational based cloths filling these halls, probably from various schools and colleges, while not a large buidling its pretty sizable and presumably chock full of books on various subjects, >Roll some hot saucy Investigation check to look for your desired books

While few books you find have the term "Wrestler", You find atleast five in total revolving around arena games and pit fighting, One actually going into a specific biography about one of these participants in these games "Sexy Fred" detailing how sexy he was and the force at which he ripped opponents in two and danced beautifully after victory, two of the books have two different accounts by two seperate authors about the start of competive fighting stating there own home town as the start of it, contradicting each other atleast every respective chapter, The remaining two are ledgers holding lentghly lists of known "wrestlers" or "arena fighters"

"This sounds fun." I stated as I flipped through the pages, "This Sexy Fred sounds quite livid." After few minutes of reading into it, I had already begun to form ideas in my head. This... "arena games" and "pit fighting" sounds like something I should look into. I turn to the nearest coneheads which are also deemed as guardians of the library. "Hey, where can I find pit fights?" I ask.

The nearest conehead, A halfling with freckles all round thier face and bright orange hair almost going down to thier feet, confusidly looks to Zealous, she looks tired trying to determine if shes even awake after just glancing at him for a couple seconds, with the only immediate response being, "....what?"

"The pit fights, the arena gaming, the place where Sexy Fred fights at. Can you point the direction out to it for me, please?" I ask, growing mildly concerned for the exhausted ginger in front of me.

"...Finals coming up and I'm already hallucinating" The ginger halfing shakes her head, as if trying to disprove to herself that Zealous is even there "....And you're still there, Hello, sorry I don't....I don't know what your talking about, I don't know a fred, Is he a friend? I can check the ummmm...Lost and found....no thats....you can't put people in there, no" The tragic lack of coffee in this time becomes violently apparant

"If you are taking history finals, you are failing it terribly, my young fair madame!" I shout at the librarian as I waved at her. "Sexy Fred is somewhat of a gladiator I hear. Never mind, is your elderly one or a supervisor around?"

"No they're at the college, they make me buy books they wrote and the libraray sells them here, 50 gp is fucking bullshit, course requires it too, they only reference ONE FUCKING PAGE, I just wanted to learn astrology dammit, The fuck is an algebra" Ginger Halfling has started crying

I sigh out of exasperation. I do not know why this young lady is telling me her troubles with school and finances. I just want directions to a pit fight, or an arena. "Right... I don't know what an algebra is either, but if it's important, you might as well learn it." I stroke my orange beard out of frustration. Right then, I might be best be off to find a place that sells or gives information about maps. Wait, I am at library. I slap my forehead and began to search for maps.

Yeah don't even roll for that, they got maps, theres even a large sign saying MAPS, at the reception desk

I pick up the map and began to look through them for locations of the pit fights and arena games. I am on a mission ladies and gents! Zealous Terminator is coming!

There is actually several in and around Anxe, Roughly Thirteen competing ones in the lower city tier, Three in the mid city tier and one large one in the highest tiers

Assuming I am already on the lower city tier... I am going to go ahead and visit one of the thirteen pit fights then work my way around from there. Hm, I wonder if I should be concerned with Tarnock's trial? I should be looking for evidences to help him break free. Oh well! TO THE PIT FIGHTS!

I ran as far as my tiny little legs can take me.

The Richard Butter Slam, Is the fighting pit you come up to first, it looks a little bit in disrepair, wooden boards covering atleast two destroyed windows,

A small line out front, A bugbear with yellow spots, A father and his five children, An elf, and various more nameless npcs large bouncers standing at the door

I sure hope these bouncers don't recognize me. By their sizes, I should be able to slip by easily between their legs!

?????.....why are you worried about them reconizing zealous?

You'll never know if I need a code or password to get into the fight club.

(Look at this fuck forgeting the first rule of fight club) That has nothing to do with being reconized, but i suppose if you wanna slip in without being noticed by bouncer senpai you'll half to make a sleath check

The Bouncers notice Zealous-Kohai very shortly paying very little mind untill looks like hes doing a sneak , closing thier legs before he can walk underneath them "Hold it, where you think you're going?"

I look up and then chuckled uneasily, "Erm.... inside?" I said.

"If you watching get in back of the line, Or are you looking to get messed up?" The bouncer grunts

"Look at me and tell me what you think?" I point to my mask and my outfit, surely it is painstakingly obvious! "I am here to MESS someone up."

>Roll the better of intimidation or persuasion

"................" The bouncer is having the hardest time not laughing "You Serious??? HAHAHAHAHA" welp there he go, doing a laugh

Can I do a punch to make him change his mind?

Shit fam give a go >roll your attack

The bouncer is hit in such the right spot to spit out a whole Electrum piece, The other Bouncer is looking with concern "Lenny, We talked about this don't eat coins"

"No thats from....way back I don't.....look fucker just go in ow" Lenny bouncer grimaces

With a prideful grunt, I walk into the fight club! As upon entry, what do I see?

Zealous should be able to gaze upon, A bunch of chairs and tables filled with people, Surrounding a platform created by just having a bunch of crates pushed together, there is what looks like a fishing net at each side of the crate platform, This building clearly wasn't intended for this kind of activity but was makeshiftedly turned into it.

There is two people fighting inside the platform currently one with a club and the other punching him real hard, loud cheering from the crowd

I have urges rising inside me, warrior's blood boiling, screaming me to join in the fight. However... I think I am going to look around or hear anyone talk about this... "Sexy Fred". I walk about in the arena, also looking for something to eat. I am not just being here to revel in the fight, I am also here to eat food and pick up on the lead on the guy as well.

There is alot of Butter stands like selling whole sticks of butter, in The Richard Butter Slam arena, As well as barrels of ale, Bread stands, A stand deep frying bread using ale, wierd stuff

Hm, I think I am in mood for some Buttered toast and a glass of ale.

Costs about 12 copper in total, most of the price coming from the butter, its not very expensive down here and thats probably because everyone is poor as fuck

I SHALL TAKE THAT! Upon after purchasing them, of course.

pffft, alright the conversion rate of gold to copper is 100 Cp per Gp, so...math that out, or just pretend its pennies to dollars if that helps. The stand (user) owner happily gives you your change and hands you your food

Nice! I grabbed dem food and then walked toward the table nearby and began to eat them as I watch the fight! I am totally secretly studying my next possible fighter's fighting techniques.

I'm just realizing zealous is probably the richest fucker in the room....Anyway! Yeah the two fighters are distributing a whole wallop to each other, While the club wielder have the clear damage advantage the fist fighter is moving around to dammed fast,making it hard to land anything on him, sliding around each swing and bopping the club wielder's nose, after a couple good snoot boops Club user finally collapses onto the platform, an announcer shouting, "Ohhhh! and thats another win for Legs Leviticus, The Club Conroy is going to be mad about that when he wakes up"

"END HIM!" I shout from the chair, shaking my fist violently as I spew butter and bread from my seat.

Legs makes his way to the end of the platform looking down at Zealous "What is with this....Sassy lost child?"

"I AM ZEALOUS TERMINATOR!" I shouted from the distance.

"Well you aint gonna be shit after I'm done with you" Legs motions upward with his thumb as if to challenge Zealous, Club is being picked up and dragged away by staff

"THAT'S A CHALLENGE I SMELL. I SHALL TAKE YOUR CHALLENGE!" I shout and charged toward the clearing, entering the ring by doing some sort of acrobatics for a dramatic entry.

Take a wild guess on what you're going to >Roll

You look like your about to make a glorious amazing and majestic flip entry, Right up untill you hit into the fish nets you've apparantly completly fogotten about, Legs seems concerned motioning to where Club is being carried out, theres apparantly a small flap where in fighters enter and leave the platform

I hurriedly remove myself from the net to face the Legs more properly. I also make mental note that there's a small flap in case I should inspect it. "Alright, just... give me a second here." I muttered quietly as I attempt to get myself upright.

Task is simple enough not to require a roll, since the net is fixed to the crates and the cieling, There is very little way to get tangled, inless you break it

Nah, no need to break it. Anyway! I get into the clearing and face the Legs more properly. I size him up from the ground, assuming he probably got a huge size advantage on me?

Apparantly yes, standing 6 feet tall and having him some pointed ears, legs starts stretching his legs

I point up toward the Legs and shout out in a mighty prideful cry, "ARE YOU READY TO GO BACK TO YOUR MOMMY FOR SOME COOKIES AND MILK!?"

"SOMETIME LATER TODAY SURE, BUT NOT BEFORE I TEACH YOU SOME TABLE MANNERS" Legs exclaims stomping his legs onto the platform floor

"THEN GET SOME TABLES AND I'LL GLADLY ACCEPT YOUR LESSONS. TEACHERS NEEDS TO HAVE PROPER SUPPLIES TO TEACH THEIR STUDENTS!" I screamed at top of my lungs and proceed to grab at this man's legs.

Oh boy Combat start, Roll some crunchy Initiative, mostly just to determine who goes first

Good Shit, >roll athelics to grapple

The legs to fast to touch as they hop out the way of your grab attempt, His turn

Seeing you leaned over he reels one of his legs backward and strikes it forward, this misses, but shortly after his other legs comes trailing behind, but this has about the the same success, zealous turn

I tackle and wail on the remaining leg he has on the floor!
