It is actually pretty galling that the 'NPC advantage' extends to being able to derail our end of the conversation at will when we cannot possibly do the same, but I can't see DP writing this fae as sitting there taking that. You are correct that it's happened before with other characters, and it'll happen again.
Edit: more honest phrasing.
Not being able to to control when we interject is a thing yeah...

Personally I don't mind DP handling stuff.
 
If it happens yet again, I will at least feel vindicated that DP is almost deliberately telling us that the only factually correct action that we can take is Murder.

Which makes sense for a Game of Thrones quest... and a D&D quest.

...and a Sufficient Velocity quest.
Thats overly paranoid. It's just the nature of the beast. DP has a write in as a 'script' from us, but in writing he tries to write conversation as being somewhat realistic and character driven, so when we start laying in with the real whammies there's no real way for him to stay true to Dusk Dummy's character without having her try to interrupt us to deflect or make us seem like the bad guy.
Once we're interrupted, it throws the 'script' off and we lose the write in bonus, so we are actually suddenly worse than if we weren't interrupted and don't usually recover well.
The only rules change I could suggest is that DP keep the 'write in' Bonus active when an NPC interjects and throws us off, because otherwise it gives off the weird impression that Viserys doesn't actually think on his feet that well without us doing it for him.
I mean the interruption is still lamentable because we don't get the satisfaction of properly roasting her, but it's something?

Y'all want to require a change of pants?

I checked out our accounts for last month out of curiosity and from non-adventuring economic activities, we profited over 1.1 million IM.

Our expenses were very nearly 800,000 IM alone.

The only thing to pass out of Fey Bint's lips of any real substance in an entire extended conversation is the assertion that we are rich as sin.

It wasn't factually correct, however.

We are now officially TARGARYEN RICH $$$

We make Lannisters look like paupers in comparison.

Aren't our economic schemes going to crash the economy in a few centuries?

So really. Well have all the money?
 
I just want to wish you all a Merry Christmas, a Happy Holidays, or just a pleasant evening.

Whichever is most offensive to your sensibilities. Season's beatings!

This place has its ups and downs, but they are mostly ups. Next weekend me and @Duesal D&D together!

I will post AAR of each session. Be prepared for dramatization.

Do a live stream so that we can properly heckle!
 
All in all, sometimes stuff just works. In one reality, we'd have dismantled her arguments. In this, she presented things just so that she managed to play the audience.

When a Mythic Fey is arguing with you out-and-out in bad faith, one could argue that, yeah,

Oh baby.

Merry Chirstmas to you all.

I leave Duesal in charge of that, if he's so inclined.

I've got to say, it was odd using a physical copy of a D&D book rather than looking up everything online.

We do plenty of that, too. SRD on the internet is just too convenient. But yeah, we have access to stuff like Magic Item Compendium (one of my favorite books for obvious reasons, and I imagine it will be one of yours too) and Planar Handbook.

All that obscure nonsense you have to root around for at your fingertips.

I guess I could set up a livestream. It'll be awkward as hell and you guys would be witness to all my fuckups. I tend to panic if I'm rushed. :p

I love the Magic Item Compendium. I read through it last night and spotted the inspiration for quite a few of our own in-quest magic items.
 
Man, all the table lore I want to share with you guys.

From the previous group of the guys I play with, there was another guy, let's call him 'D'. You see, D GM'd multiple games for them, because I guess this table just didn't have a dedicated DM and I am fairly sure everyone has put on the DM hat at least once. I actually think cumulatively D's games tended to last longer just because he wouldn't lose interest in story telling.

I digress, D had a Plot. You see, in this Plot, which kept rearing its head in his campaigns, the party would have to go to a place. We're going to call it Magic Island.

And on Magic Island, a certain number of riffs and keys were hit.

But it all boils down to this, there'd be a young heroine, there would be a contrivance that forces you down a certain path, and some weird ass encounters would happen basically centered around being a mindfuck.

One day, when being told a D story, I blurted out the following realization: "Star Wars: The Last Jedi made this entire fucking plot."

Picture the entire first half of that movie. Old man. Island with mysterious stuff on it. Janky ass acid trip quasi-mystic shenanigans.

They never did finish that Star Wars campaign of theirs, and one has to wonder...

"WE HAVE TO GO BACK!"

Tis the Season and whatnot.

How does the thread feel about recreating Santa Claus as a sworn-to-us Troupe that distributes gifts across the Empire during government approved festivals/holidays/celebrations/events? Basically a pure goodwill money sink and a way to build up Good or Lawful Fey with HD.

Only if we can call them Santargaryen Clause.
 
Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to people and of course @DragonParadox, thanks for all hard work to make this quest fun.

On another note as someone who has never had a proper DnD with friends, on account of having none, being a part of this even if not a whole lot is still lots of fun, despite the times when we argue we don't mean it out of harm but just cause we care.

We should encourage Glyra to start this tradition. Her and her Troupe can give gifts to children and prank adults who deserve it.

She can be the Giving Gremlin.
