I effectively retired from doing conventions some years back, but ConnectiCon in Hartford, Connecticut was the first one I ever attended as a guest, way back in 2003, and it has always held a special place in my heart.
Ctrl+Alt+Del is now in its twentieth year, so I am thrilled to return to celebrate ConnectiCon #20. I’ll have a table with some STUFF, and will also be doing a some panels.
If you’re in the area that weekend and want to come out and say hi, you can use this link to get 10% off your registration!
I’m not sure if this party is good or evil, but they are definitely chaotic.
they’re very frugal and cheap. that’s what they are lol
They’re non-cooperative. And evil aligned party that regarded each other this way would have killed one another.
Roll for persuasion ?
On whom? The merchant, the corpse or the DM? 😛
Yes
I rolled a nat18 with +3 to persuasion
With friends like these, who needs enemas? LOL sorry old Mel Brooks joke, couldn’t resist, dad joker here :p
Enema is when your behind is deep-cleaned.
I heard jokes get funnier when you explain them.
Yeah it wasn’t a typo, that’s actually the Mel Brooks joke.
Language barrier … I guess I won’t dig deeper here.
Oh no, by all means, really
probethe issueGuess all they would need now is an arms dealer …. ?
I know someone out there will use this as an excuse to put an arm cannon prosthesis…
You might want to read the Berserk Manga 😉
I love the campaign so much. However I can’t help but express a little sadness at the timing, since Tim can’t do a strip on Zelda: Geneva Violations
I mean, if someone has to give their hand it makes sense for the one benefiting from the spell to pay.
I never realized that 3 has yellow eyes.
It’s kinda creepy, and I don’t know why.
Because it means he has a liver disease. ?
OR! that he can talk to wolves and walk tel’aran’rhiod
Weren’t Perrin’s eyes more golden-brown than yellow? You know, like the eyes of an actual wolf.
Then again, it’s been a while since I read any of Wheel of Time. Never managed to find any of them past book 2/3. Whichever one has the mind-controlled Aes Sedai.
Am I the only one noticing the condition that the body needs to be fresh???
I wonder if 2 can cast gentle repose. I’m guessing no…?
Not gonna lie. The schtick was funny to start but it wore out its welcome quickly. Hope we move on from it soon
But that wouldn’t be mint condition, that’d be refurbished!
Ehhhh, I dunno. Depends what the magic is doing, I guess. A full resurrection can restore a lost limb. Some even create a whole new body from just a finger. So is the magic repairing what’s there, or creating a new body? Is it repairing the broken bones, or replacing them with new bones?
Could very well be mint condition 😉
?
“Some even create a whole new body from just a finger.”
I read a story about a patchwork teddy bear that would love to have that power
It is at this point that you might as well reroll a new character.
That’s going to be like the Roy bone golem arc in OotS, isn’t it?
That’s actually an underhanded way of ensuring success as his payment rides on him handling the actual doing of the thing to the best of his ability. Bravo! *Applauds.
Under handed, nice.
I am more curious than I should be about what ‘living hand bones’ means, exactly.
Are the bones to remain animated after extraction? Is the adventurer allowed to keep the rest of their (now boneless, presumably floppy) hand? Could they use rocks or something like that as a makeshift prosthetic bone replacement?
Oh, I can imagine players trying to replace the bones with whatever they think will grant them a bonus.
They’ll try to make silly claims, like “now that the bones are replaced with stone, bare-handed attacks shoud deal more damage.”
Me, I’d be more interested in watching how the character deals with the excruciating, crippling, constant pain of having several foreign objects inside one of the body’s most sensitive parts. It’s not like we’re talking precision surgery with properly designed replacements here.
It’s all fun and games until somebody stalls you long enough for them to use your arm as the material component in casting Galder’s Tower. ?
This is going to be one of those cases where they cheap out and then have to pay more to get it fixed.
Hartford, Truly a hive of scum and villainy?
the “shhh no metagaming”
I wouldn’t be surprised if 3 decides to have the NPC deny the deal and that one of the living group has to do the sacrifice, not the person being ressurected.
Yeah, c’mon 3! You’re the DM, you should know better than to try and metagame! ?
3 made a decent offer, 10000 gold isn’t too much. A side quest would not be too bad. The group is trying to find worse and worse options and they should know it. Correction, everyone else but them and Ethan would know it.
Oh I agree the party is being dumb–which I imagine is the point–but as the DM, 3 knows damn well the dead guy doesn’t get a say in the matter! He’s just gonna have to bite his tongue and watch quietly as the party sells off his character piece by piece for the rest of the adventure until they end up only resurrecting like…his ear or something. ?
I agree.
I like your idea to resurrect his ear … but not the mouth.-)
Actually, as the DM, he could be very vindictive and make it so his character’s god gets upset with the party for disrespecting his follower and curse them or something.
