00:06:54 Devastator: yeah, the classic drive-by jaguar.
00:07:14 Devastator: Think Tric's gonna be around in Revenant?
00:07:21 Devastator:
MJ was always a fan of doing that.
00:07:24 ER: he's up on discord, I think he may have just not noticed DCing
00:07:44 ER: Tric had better be around, otherwise I have no idea what to do :v
00:08:04 Devastator: Submit it to some rando on the bay12 discord?
00:08:19 Devastator: not going to be around much longer.
00:09:00 Devastator: no, I mean his character.
00:09:28 Devastator: or it'll be an escape sorta situation, and then you have a NPC villain.
00:09:37 Devastator: you okay with that?
00:09:49 ER: yeah, she makes a fine villain
00:10:50 Devastator: should be good then.
00:11:01 Devastator: rip and tear or recurring villain.. after maybe a couple turns.
00:11:28 Devastator: Or the dice will be utterly against the PCs and it'll be a quick end. ;-p
00:13:02 Devastator: said Trence, who is now teamed up with an exotic monster zookeeper.
00:13:11 ER: would be sad for the hot skeleton lamia to die in such a way
00:13:13 Devastator: while being a creature out of myth and legend. ;-p
00:13:21 Devastator: and bird didnt' get to eat any brains yet!
00:13:53 ER: hmm, it's been like, a minute :P
00:14:21 ER: bird probably won't get much from zombies. more from living things.
00:14:35 ER: or did you specify it only works on living things?
00:14:45 Devastator: "brains of deceased creatures"
00:14:55 Devastator: so no living creatures.
00:15:02 Devastator: I'm okay with zombies being basically worthless.
00:15:07 Devastator: other than like special zombies.
00:15:17 Devastator: and I put 'thinking organ' not brains, because I'm a powergamer. ;-p
00:15:29 Devastator: so brains of zombies might be worthless.
00:15:32 ER: brains, then? well I guess you get nothing from these zombies then, they're too decayed
00:15:41 Devastator: if they don't use brains to think.
00:15:52 Devastator: so probably anything recently dead.
00:15:58 ER: they don't use much to think, really
00:16:18 Devastator: although there's enough slack in it that if you want to give something, you could.
00:16:43 Devastator: hmm, what to do after.
00:16:48 Devastator: maybe find a place with a book in it.
00:16:52 Devastator: because smart now. ;-p
00:17:37 Devastator: like "I'm a big and strong crow! I weigh two whole pounds!"
00:17:42 ER: I'm not sure if crow should even count as a revenant. maybe it's a mutant beast with a soul?
00:18:12 Devastator: Determination to live seems like a revenant.
00:18:16 Devastator: or is it the lack of revenge?
00:18:21 Devastator: could write some backstory.
00:18:36 ER: I mean because it's an animal rather than a person
00:19:03 ER: and the metaphysics here are mostly cribbed from dnd because I don't care too strongly about them :v
00:19:38 ER: ...I guess beasts in DnD do have souls, actually? they can be ressurected, I think
00:19:55 Devastator: The basic distinction in D&D is between creatures and objects.
00:19:59 Devastator: everything else is setting dependant.
00:20:59 Devastator: but if it's like a mutant zombie of some other kind, that's fine too.
00:21:05 Devastator: all the same to me, really.
00:21:13 ER: I have no idea to be honest
00:21:24 ER: it's basically a fleshhorror too
00:22:17 Devastator: well, if bird's a fleshorror, than maybe I should level up physical stats.
00:23:04 Devastator: or maybe like magic from the brain thing.
00:23:09 Devastator: I'll just let it go.
00:24:26 Devastator: whatever turns up or looks good, I'll go with that.
00:24:38 Devastator: maybe like a Resident Evil zombie.
00:24:42 Devastator: those are basically fleshhorrors.
00:25:56 Devastator: yeah, there any bird monsters in Resident Evil?
00:26:25 ER: there are a lot of different things in resi, I think the normal zombies are just stumbling lads, no fleshhorrness
00:26:53 ER: there are crows which attack you I think, in the first few
00:27:11 ER: might be infected crows, might just be assholes as usual
00:28:31 Devastator: looks like 'giant crow'
00:28:38 Devastator: could be my character, really.
00:35:40 Devastator: although 15 pounds is like bigger than an eagle, so someone there doesn't know how much birds weigh. ;-p
00:36:01 Devastator: anyway, RE crow seems good enough.
00:36:10 Devastator: about two and a half pounds.
00:37:46 Devastator: could rename Semblance of Life into something RE-style like "T-virus infection" or something.
00:38:49 ER: mm, well, whatever prompted your transformation wasn't biological in nature
00:39:09 Devastator: Semblance of Life, then.
00:39:16 Devastator: I'll just go RE-style if it levels up.
00:39:52 ER: also the t-virus would make you really buff and give you arm blades ;p
00:40:18 Devastator: Maybe they come later.
00:40:28 ER: or turn you into a dinosaur, I guess. dinosaurs were the OG tyrants.
00:40:30 Devastator: but I might end up going with like brainy skills instead.
00:40:58 Devastator: lamia might be better at the whacking peeps thing.
00:41:24 Devastator: but who knows what'll happen.
00:42:04 Devastator: There are zombie dogs too, right?
00:42:17 ER: yeah. so far I'm thinking that levels will be 1 stat point and 2 skill points, and ther possibility of getting skill ups from training or whatever
00:42:30 ER: in resi? yeah, zombie dogs are a thing
00:42:42 Devastator: yeah, so like that but bird, maybe.
00:48:40 Devastator: Isn't that what 'dinosaur' means, anyway?
00:48:44 Devastator: something like tyrant lizard?
00:49:11 ER: tyrannosaurus rex is pretty obvious though :P
01:00:31 Devastator: "Strong theropod role model"
01:23:25 Devastator: not sure how many ranks needed to be the allosaurus, but eh. ;-p
01:26:12 ER: well, you can just be one inside of a mind palace if you manifest enough determination :P
01:32:03 Devastator: although remaining mr snarky is funnier for a crow than an allosaurus.
01:32:24 ER: I guess having the ambition to become a real life dinosaur could be enough to keep you going for a while
01:40:11 Devastator: mmm, there's a goal needed?
01:40:26 Devastator: 1: Show off brains.
01:41:28 Devastator: 1: Know all the things and show the evil monkeys they are morons.
01:43:32 Devastator: dunno which is more appealing.
01:46:37 Devastator: Maybe a stupid wizard blasted a crow for fun.
01:53:02 Devastator: maybe some party camped out near there, and the wizard was reading, and the crow was curious and tried to steal a look.
01:53:10 Devastator: so the stupid monkey wizard zapped it.
01:53:32 Devastator: so now the goal is to show the monkey wizard how stupid it is by besting it in a contest of wits.
02:05:16 Devastator: what are retcons for if you can't use them to declare revenge against random dick wizards?
02:09:14 ER: hrm. why is it that I haven't gone to bed yet,
dev?
02:10:48 Devastator: random chatter about bird zombies.
02:14:21 ER: hmm, burd probably needs to kill people to get much binefit from the brain eating thing, but isn't good at killing folks. Could team up with another character, but the only one who seems much into slaying the living is the one you're currently attacking
02:15:13 ER: hm, might be able to bargain for recent corpses?
02:17:16 Devastator: And if the bird is that bad at killing folk, maybe try to learn magic or something.
02:17:34 Devastator: or get people to fight each other. ;-p
02:23:21 Devastator: teaming up seems most likely, really.
02:30:10 Devastator: or maybe should murder kids or something. ;-p
02:33:54 Devastator: +2 to attack skill and a +1 strength or +2 agility might be enough.
02:37:33 Devastator: or just the right timing.
02:37:38 Devastator: bird in the open might be easy to kill.
02:37:43 Devastator: but bird in the bathroom?
02:38:07 Devastator: bird hiding in the bedroom, sneaking out to slit throats and eat brains?

04:07:34 MidJag: Sorry about the drive by earlier, just didn't notice I'd DC'd and then got dragged off to do things with the family.
04:23:17 MidJag: not bad. For once in my life I'm not crazy busy honestlly. Just been doing stuff with family a lot.
04:23:55 MidJag: Still waiting on med schools to get back to but eh, with covid it's going to take forever
04:24:01 Devastator: so crazy busy, but doing something different.
04:24:07 Devastator: well, the vaccinations should help.
04:24:36 MidJag: My dad actually got his first set from the pfizer today.
04:25:52 Devastator: We'll be getting it up here a bit of a ways behind the states.
04:26:01 Devastator: not long, but not first.
04:27:16 Devastator: dunno what kind of timeframe for me personally. God, I miss local papers.
04:28:00 Devastator: oh, wait, never mind, ours is still barely hanging on.
04:28:03 Devastator: first batch this week.
04:28:47 Devastator: looks like 3900 people immediately.
04:29:20 Devastator: heathcare workers, long term care workers, long term care recipients.
04:29:23 Devastator: then probably the oldest people.
04:30:20 MidJag: I think that's the same as the US is doing it.
04:30:56 MidJag: Though I think they're lumping vulnerable pre exsisting health conditions in with the oldest people cataogry.
04:33:28 Devastator: sent you something.
04:48:00 MidJag has quit [Remote host closed the connection]
05:12:23 Devastator: Those are some orders there, Wyrd
05:13:42 Devastator: thoughts,
ER? If you're still around?
06:28:48 Devastator: Rest of the turn is up.
09:08:38 Devastator has quit [Quit: ChatZilla 0.9.93 [Firefox 42.0/20151029151421]]
11:45:29 Devastator has joined #einsteinianroulette
22:43:52 ER: oh yeah, I remember reading that in the logs as I was waking up?
22:44:05 ER: what were you asking for thoughts about,
dev? revenant?
22:44:31 ER: wyrd's action is pretty vague, but that works fine in this context
