Friendship and Stabbing: an Adventurer's Guide, Thursday 2nd Period

[wrongkindofsith]

It took a little while to make in the danger shop, but there was very large gashapon machine at the head of the class and one super excited teacher. At least one. Magnus couldn't speak for Cara, that would be rude.

"Equipment day, equipment day!" he said, totally trying to make that a thing. Would it catch on? Eh.

If Cara was ever visibly excited, the class should probably be worried. She did looked vaguely pleased though. Which meant they should probably worry a little anyway. "While ideally you should be able to fight naked with whatever come to hand, there's no denying that good equipment makes it a lot easier. Of course, that requires getting good equipment."

"Which you can buy, loot, or steal," Magnus said. "Ooooor you can try the wheel of fate, Istus herself! Well. Kinda. I'm an emissary of her and I helped with this, so it might have some divine stuff on it."

And that was good, right? Right.

"Right," Cara said slowly. "Though the downside of trying your luck is you might get worse gear than the person next to you with no way to remedy that." Well, no way that she could get away with suggesting.

Because they were adults who were setting a good example for the class. And not people who gleefully looted shit.

"So, step right up and let's see what you get! If you don't like it, you can always try selling it at the Fantasy Costco," Magnus suggested. Because they were safe from creepy warlocks asking for blood there. Also because they couldn't flat out suggest other methods.

Because it would be wrong to steal your classmates' sweet, sweet loot.

Uma was looking at that hat, dubiously. It seemed too full of feathers and lace and--was that an entire dead bird?--to do much of anything.

"What's a plus two to performance?" she asked.

"You know. On ability checks."

Magnus, no.

Uma just looked at him.

Of course, she'd been besting by a Capri sun pouch last week, so her confusion might not carry the weight it really should.

"For your proficiencies?" He tried again. "Like how I have proficiency in animal handling and vehicles. I'm, like, super good at them. Sometimes."

When he was unobserved in his dice rolls.

"So it's just what we're good at?" Uma asked. "If we're already good at them, why do we need bonuses?"

Uma's proficiencies would in intimidation, performance, and, eventually, arcana.

"To do them even better."

What if you rolled super shitty? Take the boost.

"Still not seein' how an ugly hat's gonna make me sing better or whatever."

As opposed to her own, very clearly awesome hat.

"Well, you can always see about trading with one of your classmates?" He suggested. But clearly she was gonna miss out on some awesome performance rolls.

She was a Disney property, Magnus. Performance rolls were what defined her.

"I'm still trying to figure out how this works," Uma said. "Magic?" Her hand crept up to the seashell necklace resting on her collarbone.

"Probably," he replied with a little squint. He made that perception check, thank you. "I mean. I'm not one of the magic guys, but yeah... that's totally magic."
