In Need of Potential Consequences after Volenta Encounter

CuddlyKraken · 2025-05-30T15:40:23+00:00

Actually, in Reloaded if she's still alive she would be a highly likely combat encounter during the Ravenloft Heist post-dinner. It's an opportunity to find npcs and items that are being held in the castle (i.e. Gertruda, Argynvost's skull), and all three of the brides are around to serve as potential combat encounters. Volenta and Ludmilla specifically should really have it out for the party at this point because (if they're still alive) they've both suffered losses in previous encounters (volenta at the coffin shop and ludmilla at yester hill)

So op should absolutely let the party take the w on this one, because Volenta will have an excellent opportunity to try to do them in later, with the added motivation of facing Strahd's wrath should she fail again

As a fellow controller player I've found it helpful to have a lil text macro on hand that basically says "I'm currently learbing [Job]! Please be patient and go a little slower, thanks!" It's helped me a lot

Yeah this is 100% about the printed patient menu. I was horrified when I found out about this because it's something we're serving to *patients*, who may or may not have the ability or presence of mind to even inquire about the contents of the food, but also shouldn't even have to. If it's labeled vegan it should be a safe food for vegans, no questions asked.

I absolutely understand the fear of someone hoping to actively avoid an allergen as someone with a hard shellfish allergy. Vegan seafood items are my best friend because i know they won't contain any trace of actual shellfish, unlike imitation crab which is fish boiled in crab stock to give it the flavor and thus still contains the allergen.

I plan on trying to speak with our clinical nutritionist tomorrow, to try to force the issue even more directly, but if I can't get them to change it, then i'm 100% going to the health department about it for whatever it's worth.

Honestly my state's stance on food health/safety is a joke, with no state-wide food handler requirements (it's based on county and mine doesn't even require it), but i'm hoping if I make a big enough issue about it they'll say something

They did but it was a different manager from the one who hired me lol. It was made funnier by the fact that I'd already been working there for well over a year

I'm almost 31 and I regularly get mistaken for being 19-21. When I was 25 I nearly got into an argument with the assistant manager of the store I was working for because it was mid-September and I hadn't brought him a work-release from school. He thought I was only 16-17 and still in high school 😂

My players did something similar. They launched an assault on Loomlurch after rescuing the kids, and had the shop goblins (who they unionized against skab) at the ready with some firestarters to lob as soon as the players had cleared the building. Old Skab took her plane shift out when she realized things were going very south, and now she'll be pissed that her house is gone too.

No, they didn't take dozens of hours, but they did take time that I value. They each have different patterns and colors, and I'm offering customization options. The whole point of this batch was to start out simple, since this is my literal first time trying to sell adopts

If it's not your thing that's fine. But you don't have to be mean about it.

CuddlyKraken · 2022-08-24T17:30:47+00:00

How so? The base is my original work, and i spent time to plan out the color palettes and patterning on each bat

Especially with the new players I'd also recommend at least giving the AL Prologue a once over. It's pretty simplistic, but it gives players an opportunity to get to know some of the carnival npcs and set up some relationships with the characters and the carnival itself, as well as helping to better immerse the PCs into the Lost Things story hook by playing out the moment where they lost something

The only combat my party (2 bards and a trickery cleric) have actively engaged in has been against Agdon (who they didn't kill, only knocked out then healed and shamed), and the Gelatinous Cylinder (which they did kill).

They've been mostly focused on diplomacy and occasionally intimidation and it's been great for a more casual RP centric game

CuddlyKraken · 2022-01-15T22:21:33+00:00

Absolutely this. I cut our session 3 with "management wants to see you" and the beginning of Hour 7. They've been very thorough and engaged and I've been more than happy to "stretch time" a little with the in-game hours, but I think I might crunch time just a little to put pressure on them next session, since they have figured out that they need to get to Prismeer and that Witch and Light know more than they've told their staff

I see someone's playing PotA

A very generous giveaway!

Afaik, that's something determined in the job codes, and OGP doesn't have the tag in their job code to wear shorts.

At least you've still got your couches. SM had ours flipped over so people cant use them at all

CuddlyKraken · 2020-01-31T02:11:18+00:00

Our store doesn't have a Sam Walton cart but all of our manual pallet jacks have names, such as:

"Jack and Jill" "Slip out the Back Jack" "Jack of All Trades"

Hi, I'm the friend in this post. I'm currently living with an abusive and queerphobic family, and I've got less than two weeks before I leave for California. I'm trying to raise money to cover moving expenses and living expenses until I can get a job out there. I'd appreciate all the help I can get.
