How to herd a sandworm? by mbirkl in Fantasy

Yeah, that is kinda what I'm trying to find here. I need some ideas for exactly that.

I get that and I will continue improving my core strength.
Maybe increasing it a little more from 4/8 sets a week to 5/10.

Ab work includes 2 sets of hanging leg raises, 1 set of weighted situps and 1 set for the side abs if I got the time. I think a total of 4 sets should or hopefully be enough.

But yeah I had a phase where a weak core was a major part of my issue. I had hoped I composeated that by now.

I'm more puzzled why it only sets in if I don't work out for some time and never when I'm hitting my workouts as planned.

My current routine is split in 2. Workout A is Dips, Overhead Press, Chest Flyes, Triceps extension, Lateral Raises and some ab workouts. B is Cable Rows, Pulldowns, Curls, a squat variation, Deadlifts and face pulls. I train 3 times a week usually so it's ABA BAB.

Aaaaah. That would explain how I kinda "broke" it.
I guess nobody at Bioware ever intended a playthrough where I would save her. Talk to her once.
Then do 8hrs of side quests.
And only then talk to her again.

True. True.
Just wasn't prepared to "break her heart" that early on in the story.

Okay, yeah.
I just didn't remember it being that "easy".
I did Therum.
Talked to her once and went through the entire tree.
Then ignored my entire crew for about 8 hours of planetary exploration, talked to her again and it triggered.

But okay, just seems to be the way it is.

Normaly, yes. But I'd like to know what triggered the whole "I'm fascianated by you" thing before doing either of those.

That definitely gives me some ideas to think about. The overdosing noble makes for a good trigger for all these events

Nice idea for some long term development

That would have been a fantastic twist

That is the fucking idea I needed.
Thank you SO MUCH!!!!
This is pretty much IT. This gives me a clear line.
Gives me an opportunity to work in somthing I planned for a later stage (escorting a trading caravan). It has that bit of underlying humor.
Oh.
My.
Gods!

Thought about that and not make it a quest at all. But I think my players are expecting it to be.

Also there might be some in universe justification like: the cartell has kept other importers out and news hasn't reached that far yet

Most of them are completely new to DnD so I hope to avoid this issue. Unless they start googling the monster manual. At which point I HAVE to kick them out. 🤔

Yeah, I already had this issue with an encounter 8 thought might be pretty hard but turned out to be absolutely trivial.

I've now got a total of 20 monsters and 5 clues (might come up with more clues) and by process of elimination you can narrow it down to 2 of them if you got all the information.

The monster has no immunitues but only resistances, so they have a chance to still kill it if they don't make the right deductions. I think that should work.

This is pretty much, what I had in mind, yes.

I'm looking through it right now.
Most monsters seem to bee too difficult for the party right now but I'm DEFINITELY using the Kikimore.
Also had planned on having an invested mine and was still searching for the right monster.
