Hah, smart Benji! Guess that’s where being a regular role player helps!
The games master moves unseen,
sneak attacking with a seventeen;
a stunning change in their fate;
the protector taken, at the gate.
Now, how is our Kai’s fitness?
(Without Rex to be a witness)
Has he been working on his laps
Or has he been crafty, sneaking naps?
The race is on, up in the store,
hunting around the old shop floor
She knows this layout, that’s for sure –
will he find her, behind the door?
She might not have stayed in the shop, remember Amy’s dad warned her to look both ways before crossing the street. Implies that she might be taking the chase outside. Might be a park nearby where a kid her size and with her luck could have some good hiding places.
A saving roll by Benji. Sir Haggis allows the adventurers to pass.
What trial awaits them next?
They seem to be having a bit too much fun with this; the bunny might be joining them for the bigger party later.
Wouldn’t it be funny if the cake for the twins was two very large cakes that were modeled on a European dragon? Or, since twins are still not officially adults yet, and given Jin is a friend of theirs, it might be fun to lean more into Asiatic dragon lore. In Korean mythology, there is a creature called an Imoogi, a Celestial Serpent that becomes a dragon after obtaining a heavenly treasure that emerges every few centuries; Cleo might approve of this, and find it amusing that a Snake turns into a Dragon as part of its lifecycle. So, maybe things leading up to the cake could reference this mythology as well.
I have wondered on occasion if Kai & Kaya might have at leat one Asian ancestor back there somewhere. It might account for their not having even vestigial wings, and it has already been confirmed that they will never get wings. Notice they also have a furry mane instead of spikes down their backs; also an Asian dragon hint. Now if they could only fly without wings…
P.S. Yes, I know of their Italian (European) heritage.
Kai can already jump good, maybe if he really worked out on his legs he could set some records.
The dragons look rather European to me.
Why yes, i also always carry an emergency d20 for unexpected situations
You get it :p
This is why I have Dice by PCalc on my warch.
Doesn’t everybody?
Personally I think benji is secretly in on it
I wonder what else Benji keeps on him at all times along with the 20 sided die…
Sir Haggis is graceful in this defeat, a skill likely honed from having a daughter with incredible luck at games of chance. How Amy takes loss in games of her element has yet to be seen, apart from Liar’s Dice which she was happy her crush touched her paw. Lady Blackpaw has nowhere to run now, she has no athletic stamina and Kai’s part of a sports team on top of his super strength.
They were just playing. He could have used the one they were gaming with.
They were using regular six sided dice for their game. This one is a twenty sided die.
They are still in the Dungeon, and since Benji regularly runs their version of D&D there, he’d be fully aware of where they were kept. All he’d need to do is grab a D20 from the stash and make his action…
As a gamer and roleplayer, I definitely got some good laughs and smiles from this one. I love it! 😄
I must say, Benji’s execution plays like one of those super genius strategists where the long-spun trap has been sprung. Even though he’s in a situation where that can’t be the case.
And I love it.
Question? How old did they turn I’m not sure if it’s 13 14 or 15?
It’s a comic strip. You -assume- they turned at all. Might have gone straight from 14 to… 14! 🙂
But, in reality, I’m not sure if Kai ever said… 😉
This chapter is Kai and Kaya’s 15th birthday, Benji and Cleo are still 14 (to our knowledge) while Rex and Nate are 16.
But if this is LARP, shouldn’t Benji use a bunch of d4’s as caltrops?
