Problem Solving and You! - Thursday

The same tavern that students may have grown to love was there once again. The same NPCs (all voiced by the DM), the same not real ale, the same giant d20 die just looming in the corner, looking for a fight.

"I've totally had this exact nightmare before a live show," Magnus said, staring at it in horror.

There was a time Cara, who was holding an extremely large and expensive looking book, might have questioned such a statement, but now she knew better. "Today's class is about class." Don't look at her, she was too busy trying to make sense of this book. It had a lot of number tables in it.

"And probabilities!" Magnus added. "God, I hope that thing doesn't crit on you kids..."

He just damned you all.

In her efforts to read the book, Cara had managed to turn it completely around. Several times. "So class is a fancy way of saying your job."

"Like me," Magnus said. "I'm a fighter. And a little rogue. But i mostly forget about those skills because I can just punch something to death. And Cara is... I wanna say also a fighter?"

"I don't see Mord'Sith in here, so probably." That's because it was a home-brew prestige class. A really, really fucked up one.

"Huh. It should be, though." Thanks, Magnus. "So, everyone tell us what your job is. And maybe how it works!"

Then slowly, so very slowly, the d20 tilted and rolled over. You couldn't actually see the top, but if you could, you would've seen a twenty.

Thanks, Magnus!

In his defense... Here came the punching part.

"Mmm, quite the opposite of extra actions, actually!" Sidon realized after he'd taken a moment to think about it, but he didn't sound too put out about it. In fact, he chuckled a little. "The King is expected to remain at the Domain at all times, which is not particularly difficult, since, by the time he becomes king, his size is quite formitable to match the incredible weight of his position! Which is why I certainly hope there will be a good, long while before I ascend to such a title, as I very much enjoy my current ability to pursue any adventure that may be available to me!"

That, and the whole part about it meaning his father would be dead, too.

"Oh my god, I wanna fight you so bad once you become king." Magnus, no.

Well, Sidon wouldn't likely get to be king for at least a hundred years from now, so that fight would either make Magnus a very old man or possibly a zombie. But either way...

"Now there's a fight I will look forward to with relish, my good sir!"

Sidon, no.

...don't go stealing his sunshine, logic.

"Heck yeah!" Magnus said, offering him a high-five.

A...moderate-height-five, anyway, but Sidon was never one to leave someone hanging.

Yeah! Moderate-height-five!

See you in a hundred and fifty years, possible future undead skeleton teacher!
