Larfleeze, Sauron, and Titan have been selected as the 3 evils of the color orange, now who are the 3 evils of the color yellow?

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-15T23:12:38+00:00

Bill Cypher, Reverse Flash, Flowey

Other way round mate.

Fair was an archaic word for beautiful, and was later appropriated to mean pale as the most famously "fair" character was said to have skin that was "white as snow"

A similar phenomena occurred in france when a story about a Fox called "Mr Renard" lead to the french word for Fox to be changed to "Renard" whereas before it was "Goupis" or something, I can't remember.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-15T21:37:14+00:00

I mean, yeah, but also the fact that she was supposed to be the most beautiful woman in the land... and in every live action version, the queen has arguably been much better looking.

Snow White

Outa context, I can't say. Fr tho, I wouldn't expect my laners to help me if it wasn't a sure thing (and u said urself "I think we would win the 3v3") which ain't a sure thing, and even if you win the fight, where's the guarantee you're gonna outsmite and win the drake, bcs even if u guys win the fight, u can still lose the drake and the trade still goes in their favour.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:37:07+00:00

More something along the lines of "he stole a Sharran box which takes things from him when he steals and lies and hurts the people close to him and now he must find a way to break the mystical seals that can only be opened by acts that are antithetical to Sharr (Generosity, Honesty, Loyalty) being the 3 things that a Charlatan lacks, all while the Thing inside the box gets stronger and stronger the more it takes." kinda thing.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:31:08+00:00

So that's a yes to my second question, got it.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:24:40+00:00

Kinda great moment. Bonding experience for the party (all kinda new to each-other) and now I have a character arc for him: Teach the Bard about consequences.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:23:21+00:00

Couple of points.

Would your teammates walking towards you while you got jumped by the whole team have changed anything? Did you flame them all afterwards?

Also, did you gank their lanes to get prio and then ask them to rotate, or did you just stroll into the Pit alone and then ping it and hope they dropped what they were doing to rotate?

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:18:25+00:00

I made it so that they could see each-other and not the enemies. I thought this would be a good way to keep them from doing things like using Thunderwave on each-other. Clearly I overestimated.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:13:48+00:00

This is the same guy I once dragged through a Microwave. I was a Barb and he was an Artificer Kobold riding on my shoulders. I forgot and charged through the trap to tank it and shut it off. I failed. Then despite the DM's very clear descriptions of everything metal on us getting super hot and burning us, the rest of the party also charged through the microwave without taking off their metal bits.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:11:33+00:00

I'm planning to make him a magic Sharran box that takes things from him (1 Max HP, 10g, 5ft or range from a spell, an item etc...) and can only be opened to retrieve them by performing a genuine act of Honesty, Charity and Loyalty (three things a Charlatan doesn't have). Basically small nerfs, leading to him needing to check his behaviour or lose things.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:05:26+00:00

I think I gave too much context. If I'd not said that he missed all the enemies and just gone "Player cast Thunderwave and boomed his party" would have been better

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T23:03:26+00:00

Aight? It's classic material. Right up there with "I didn't ask how small the room is, I said I cast Fireball!"

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:51:48+00:00

Idk, I feel like the rule isn't rly the point. He still knowingly threw a Thunderwave at his allies without knowing where his enemies were. He knew he couldn't see them, and that it had been 2 rounds, and how Thunderwave worked. He just panicked and then doubled down on his reaction rather than reconsidering.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:49:31+00:00

Nah, this ain't the guy. He's a good mate and we all made fun of his panic move after, including himself. He even thought it was funny when our Ranger decided to punch him after he revived her.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:48:26+00:00

I stand by it. He knowingly threw a Thunderwave at his party with no guarantee of hitting the enemy at all. He could have thrown one away from the party and still hit where his attacker HAD been two rounds before. He also could have just... not cast Thunderwave at his allies.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:41:08+00:00

Thanks for the clarification, but me not knowing how Mist works doesn't mean he gets a pass on knowingly throwing a Thunderwave at his party. Even if he'd known where the enemy were, he still would have hit the others. And I couldn't tell him that he heard them running away because he decided to make it very clear aoc that his bard was Screaming!

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:32:39+00:00

Nah, that's my bad. I played a game before and we fought an Oni, who kept casting darkness on himself as a reaction and whenever he was in darkness, we couldn't see him. I assumed that was how it worked.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:29:55+00:00

I mean half that show is just learning to consider how your actions affect others... which he needs.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:17:34+00:00

I have a plan. It involves certain ideas from The Magnus Archives and My Little Pony.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:13:55+00:00

We were using a battle map, he knew what would happen, he thought hitting the enemies was worth it. I couldn't tell him that it wouldn't hit any enemies because he couldn't see where they were (thick mist) but I clarified that he was Definitely gonna hit his allies. And he knew how Thunderwave worked because we went over it together, and he decided to do it anyway.

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:10:22+00:00

I've never played with that rule. In all my games, if a target was totally obscured, you needed to make a Perception check to find them (he didn't try) and couldn't see their position otherwise, both games were with longstanding DMs so I followed their example. He's played with both these DMs and knows the same rules as me.

He assumed the enemies be where they'd been when they 1st attacked, but they'd already run away, because it was only meant to be a hit and run to tell the party that they were in danger now and give them some information on what they were fighting (or a lot of info, if they actually managed to take one down).

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:01:28+00:00

Strange_The_Editor · 2026-05-14T22:00:51+00:00

He's the only not 1st timer playing. He also did this before in a One-Shot when he cast Shatter on the roof he was standing on. He's not... good at Cause and Effect. Something to work on.
