What are some deals that went badly for you, /tg/?
>>47006269
What? A Fae that outright violated the contract? How'd that happen? Twisting the wording I can see, but they don't just change the deal.
>>47006269
I had to suck on some nipples.
>>47006321

It doesn't sound like the fey actually disregarded the contract. They could still kill him, then give him the sword: just bury the body with it and you've fulfilled the letter of the agreement. The stupid thing was to not write in a "do not harm or kill" clause in the contract.

Like, sure, no all races have to work the same, but at that point he might as well call then Zoopa-Zoops if he doesnt want to use fey as they are usually presented. Avoid mixed messages and failing to live to expectations
don't be a pussy, become a fairy
they are immortal, have powerful magic and spend all their time hunting, having feasts and parties, and fucking with mortals. and you are worried about losing out on a sword?
>>47007539
Oh, so the DM's Fae don't behave as Fae do in every other setting/campaign/legend/myth/real world mythos? Then do all of what he said since the DM didn't bother to take the time to properly explain the difference, a difference that should be common fucking knowledge. It's not on the player to know that in your super special setting the sun doesn't kill vampires, it just stop them from getting erections.
>>47006269
Change your last name to Fae and say that you've become a fae and so you should get your sword.
>>47007414
Hey, you saved the world.
Still had a reason to go after him without being motivated by some hyper-altruistic self-righteous bullshit.
I like that.
>>47007663
He said he gets the sword if he becomes a fairy.
Only down side is that he'd be forced into the service of the fae he made the deal with.
>>47007860
>Hey, you saved the world.
Uhm... yeah. About that.
We've actually probably doomed the world through our own incompetence. Maybe.
We haven't actually had the final showdown yet.
>>47007663
The Fae in this instant aren't that...generous. I would be more like a servant than a partner.
>>47007796
Would such a trick work? It would be hilarious, though.
>>47007931
Stab harder.
Gods of Destruction are normally huge pussies that are upset they don't get to do shit.
Remind him that if he smashes your realm to bits, there is nowhere else he can go without making the other Gods take notice.
Then have your stealthy motherfucker steal whatever he needs to complete his ritual.
>>47007943
To me it fits with the sort of trickery and fairy tale logic of the fae so I think it should work.
>>47006523
No need to be so elaborate.
>I'll give you the sword. Point first. Into your soft bits.
>>47007984
>Stab harder.
Oh believe me. We've tried that.
>Remind him that if he smashes your realm to bits, there is nowhere else he can go without making the other Gods take notice.
He's actively doing this to spite them. I'm fuzzy on the DM's lore, but this whole thing is basically a middle finger to the other two deities.
>Then have your stealthy motherfucker steal whatever he needs to complete his ritual.
We're actively working on that bit, but he's already very far along. We just succeeded in throwing the mage kingdom into total war mode to back us up (they're outfitting anyone who can lift a weapon in magic gear from head to toe), but we weren't able to salvage the elf kingdom before the BBEG ate the whole thing with a swarm of wurms and now we're trying to keep the orcs and dwarfs from killing each other before we can turn them around at the BBEG. Progress is being made, but we have a lot of screwups to make up for.
>>47008131
>We've tried that.
Have you tried getting him to stab himself? That normally works.
>Actively trying to piss off the other Gods.
Well. He's confident then, or are the other Gods pussies, if there are only three Gods he could be trying to get the upper hand by eliminating their worship.
Celestial politics is fucked up like that.
>Ate the whole thing.
Got any creator-type magic?
A God of destruction, especially yours, seems extremely petty. If you can distract him with new creations he might take it as a matter of pride to destroy them.
>>47007043
>A rando mage hires me to go after an artifact in a nearby tomb. Sounds a bit sketchy but whatever he's paying good money.
Somehow I immediately got mental image of Sandro.
>Roll the lid off, find our artifact (something called the 'Shroud of Life') on top of an old armored mummy
The feeling intensified.
>>47006269
This was part of my background story and is not really a contract but I went and had a dancing party with korrigans and a guy that was probably the devil. Since I brought booze, they didn't make me dans to death by exhaustion and were so kind as to give me a gold coin that would always find it's way back to my pocket when nobody looked at it. However the dance also made me time ward forward and when I got home I found my fiancee married to my brother, both of them with white hair and a wrinkly face.
>>47006355
A deal is a deal.
>>47008252
>Have you tried getting him to stab himself?
He's extremely petty, but he's also very intelligent. We've never had an opportunity to turn his magic back around on him and he favors direct attacks anyway.
>Got any creator-type magic?
Negative. The caster's we've got are an arcane wizard, a paladin (who only knows a couple of spells because he put all his points into homebrew feats and fucked up his build), an ice wizard, and a druid. And even if we did, we'd have to be insanely powerful to attract his attention at all. He's basically trying to unmake creation atm so adding anything new inside it doesn't really matter to him.
We're mostly trying to martial up enough artifacts just so he doesn't BTFO us right as we walk up to him, but like I said, there have been some screwups.
>>47008252
I dunno who Sandro is.
>>47008561
>>47008277
That second reply is meant to be to this guy.
>>47008561
Well if he is truly trying to unmake reality and the other two deities are doing jack shit then he really is the most powerful god.
>>47008561
I have no idea how you're going to pull this off.
Are the other Gods just not offering assistance, they'd want to protect their followers if he's trying to unmake everything.
Hell, unmaking creation means them too, so he's going the complete omnicide route.
Could you userp one of the other Gods?
I mean, the combined effort of Gods should be able to put a third to rest.

The only reason creation is still around is because they've been smacking down his bitchass for the last however many thousand years. He used to be the god of Order, I think, but somehow he became twisted and started trying to destroy everything (he sought perfect order in nonexistence) so the God of Life and the God of Creation locked him up.
Every few thousand years he'd try and break out of his containment and the other two would smack him down again, and thus everything was right with the world.
Until he finally won. The other two gods are essentially out of the game for the time being after having been BTFO'd for the first time ever. Right now the God of Destruction is gathering up the power he spent escaping to finally unmake the world. Looking for artifacts, obliterating possible threats, that sort of thing. We've gotten in touch with a few demigod tier beings who are in charge of staying his advance should he ever escape, but I'm not certain how much they've been able to accomplish.
We... also might have accidentally killed the 'god' (more of an angel) of reincarnation. So we kinda sorta took out one of our biggest power players ourselves. That one wasn't my fault.
Just sayin'.
We'd honestly have a shot if our group took notes more often, but a lot of the time we just sort of get caught up in the adventure and forget to warn people. Other times people act like complete boneheads (resulting in amusing, if usually detrimental outcomes) and screw something up royally.

Depends, the Fae exchange favors but everything a demon or Devil does normally pushes its plans forward.
Even if you somehow managed to dick over a Devil it's probably because it's still beneficial to it in the long run.
A Fae on the other hand will probably throw a fit.
>>47006411
>If I became a Fae then I'll get the sword. Tricky bastard or I was too stupid to trust the Fae. Maybe both.
That's an outright breaking of the contract. Literally not allowed by classical Fae. No where did they stipulate that you have to become a Fae. If they said you didn't say they couldn't then remind them that not stating something in the contract isn't part of the contract.
And if they continue to be a dick, get a Cold Iron blade and beat them to death.
>>47008849
>We... also might have accidentally killed the 'god' (more of an angel) of reincarnation
Why doesn't he just reincarnate?
>>47008825
Well, later on the party was rolling with Not!Alexander the Great, and the city was in the way of his army. They were trying to negotiate, and they sent the Guildmaster to do it.He was crucified, the Lord of the City was crucified, most of the court was crucified, anyone in the guild who profited from the building of the casino thing was crucified, anyone else in the guild was fined heavily, if they couldn't pay, they went to debtors prison or were bound into service in the navy as rowers, the palace and guildhouse were destroyed and a church was built in their place. We thought it was excessive, but we didn't argue.
>>47008916

But anon what happened to the good name of deals?
>>47008857
>entwined fingers
fucking hot
>>47009016
See, he's normally supposed to.
But our paladin, who up until a year ago was the epitome of Lawful Stupid, DUN FUCKED UP.
It turned out that our paladin was actually a distant relative of this angel (he's half Aasimar), so the angel gifted him a pendant. See, what the pendant is *normally* supposed to do is allow the angel to reincarnate using the wearer as a conduit or something. He pops out of their chest and they both go on their merry way.
But our paladin had a wonderful idea.
Instead of just letting the reincarnation thing happen normally, he got the idea to supercharge the process by drinking a foul potion we'd concocted some time prior, which the group referred to as 'Purple Drank.'
What this stuff was was the result of our druid calling rain while we were fighting our way up some sort of 5th dimensional demon tower. Instead of water we got some sort of viscous purple stuff falling from the infinite void above us. My group, in their limitless wisdom, bottled it, added drops of their own blood to the vials, and then cast random spells on it. It's normal effect was when you drank it you rolled a d12 and then wrote that number next to your character name. Turns out this number was a multiplier, the next incoming or outgoing spell would be multiplied by that number and then the effect would wear off (this effectively turned a Ray of Frost into a Ray of Glacier once, that was neat).
You know what it did to Mr. Angel? He got stuck. In the paladin. We could evoke him for short periods of time, but doing so would reduce the Paladin's HP permanently each time, so it was a rare thing to use (though maybe not as rare as it should've been because he got us into trouble a lot). While he's like this he's maybe at a fraction of his normal power and he can't get better until we find a way to fucking fix the problem.
And then we meet Sven.
>>47008857
That's a really cute picture.
Sounds legit.
The fae could "give you the sword" point first through your vital organs repeatedly until you died and still uphold the letter of his agreement.
Always read the fine print man
>>47009543
>foul potion we'd concocted some time prior, which the group referred to as 'Purple Drank.'
>>47006269
Those clearly aren't fae. You better use a spell that breaks illusions, because fae don't operate that way.Or your GM is a fucking idiot
>>47006523
>The stupid thing was to not write in a "do not harm or kill" clause in the contract.
This is just a variant of "lol you didn't ask." It's a bullshit asspull twist that invites players to become lawyers arguing over contract wording.
>>47009864
Anyone have that screenshot of the GM who would have every part of an item bought from merchants fall apart if the players did not specifically inspect the item.

>>47009543
Actually Sven is unrelated to this bit. I got him mixed up with another traitor NPC whom I can't remember the name of. Who also isn't the guy I'm thinking about.
It's complicated, but eventually we have to stop the resurrection of this guy named Sol. Sol was a right cocksucker back in the day. Lead the Sun Elves to glory and conquest and shit, and also had a penchant for burning everything ever for fun. Then the world got sick of his shit and drove them all to extinction. He's a nasty dude (the last Sun Elf is actually trying to help us stop his resurrection).
Now, to properly explain how powerful Sol is: He's only one of two people to have a spell in the ability compendium named after them and his spell is one of the most powerful in the game. It allows you to become fire for a short period of time, turning you invulnerable to everything but a few damage types and allowing you to fly around and shit. And it's a pale imitation of of what he's actually capable of.
Sol is like this permanently. He's just a ball of fire that kills things unless he chooses to take a physical form (which he does because he's vain as hell and likes the look of his own face).
Well, during the battle with Sol, he straight rips Mr. Angel out of the paladin and begins sucking the power out of him like he's a holy fire flavored Slurpee.
It takes the combined efforts of the entire party and the two very powerful NPCs to get Sol the fuck off him so that another NPC we were escorting can do his damn job and banish the fucker.
With his last breath, Mr. Angel gives the paladin what little remains of his power before fading from existence.
And that's the story of how we accidentally killed a friendly god. And none of it was my fault.

You said they will kill you because they know where you live... so just ambush them or those they send. If you ambush them, cold iron to the face, perhaps hold them to giving you the sword for their life (In which case you have someone else kill them, as karmatic punishment) or ambush comes and you convince them to help against lich.
Either that or trick the lich into sleeping in your bed so the Fae tries to kill you but fights the lich for you, one way or another a problem is solved.

Your party sounds like lots of fun.

If that's any consolation, just about every single Russian who ever played video games and isn't underage knows, played and probably loved the game. Personally, I've always wanted to set a roleplaying game in one of the HoMM worlds. Wanted to do that since before I knew that DnD is a thing.

Yeah, I'm with >>47006321 >>47006523 >>47008951 >>47014379 in agreeing that your DM is playing Fey wrong. Admittedly, there are lots of ways that the contract COULD have been twisted to achieve fey-fuckery, or even the same end result, but what your DM did was not one of them. For example
>Fey hands you the sword, and your hand starts to slowly disentigrate
>"What's happening to me?"
>"Didn't you know? Only a Fey can wield or even touch that particular blade without being unwritten."
>"YOU DID THIS TO ME!"
>"I did exactly what we agreed upon. If you want me to save you from the sword, we can make yet another agreement. It just so happens I have a vacancy in my court for a squire."
Now THAT would have been a fey deal turnaround.

Homm 3 based campaign would be pretty fucking awesome. One problem that needs solving is army management. Yes or no?
>>47007043
>Not paying your mercenaries
Oh no, oh no, oh no oh no, he didn't.

Either abstract to the max, approximate via the videogame itself or find a system with workable mass combat rules.

It's not cheating if you keep thinking of your waifu the whole timeand kill them immediately afterwards
>>47017071
>Turn to fey squire
>Still level 12 barbarian with epic sword
>Kill dude because rage powers make me immune to magic
Can the Fae feel love?
>>47017296
Thanks for that nostalgia, Anon.

Dark Messiah takes place in the HoMM world and its a first person rpg so just the setting and all that can be used and the army management dropped unless you are doing that specifically
>>47006269
>>Make a deal with the Fae
>Doing this ever.
There was a character briefly in a movie called the Last Leprechaun.
Old farmer had a bag of gold his family had kept from generations of leprechauns "paying" for stolen milk by hiding a gold coin on their property.
The old man's family never spent a coin or told anyone.
When the kids in the story need the gold for the leprechaun for reasons, the old man gives it back to them without a thought.
>"That's his gold, take it. He doesn't owe me anything. I won't be beholden to one of the fay and I won't have one beholden to me!"
God, that was a great character in a terrible movie.
>>47024824
Well, what happened next?
>>47024824
A good lesson in deed.
>>47006269
>fae breaking deals instead of fucking you over with exact wording
Your GM is doing it 500% wrong.
>>47011810
Cultural norms dictate certain overarching behaviors for races, one of which being that the fae uphold their contracts.
>>47024888
Bah, the kids save the leprechaun from exploding due to lack of gold, wicked stepmom banshee is defeated, old man gets maybe one more forgettable line.
Actor that played the leprechaun was good too, though.
I want that leprechaun and the reluctant not-Darby to go on curmudgeon adventures together dammit.>>47024888
>>47021041
Now you're thinking like a fairy, anonymous!
>>47025012
Well, he wouldn't exactly break his deal. He would just stab me with the sword and leave me to rot with it in me. In his twisted Fae logic, he completed his promise.
