How would your last character handle this situation?
>>47194239
The woman every time
>>47194239
Grab maiden, swing her round and tell her to grab the chest or I'm using her as a meat tobaggon to reach it myself.
Princess.
Seriously, from an in character perspective, rule of paladin trumps most other concerns. Even if I didn't play paladins, I just don't think I could honestly play the kind of character that'd chose money over a life.
And to add to that last point, treasure isn't really worth much. I know it has a worth, but it's fairly easy to get more. I don't care about having a large amount of it, since there's rarely anything I want or even need to buy.
Also she's qt.
>>47194239
What did Conan do?
>>47194239
Wait, both are within arm's length. I've got two arms. I can have it all!
>>47194314
>47194314
I'mma guess treasure, he's got a bad track record with wimmens.
>>47194239
The chick
he's gay but a person is worth more than treasure.
>>47194239
>Both within arms length
Unless your last character only had one arm, this isn't even a problem
>girl is qt but has shit personality
drop her, grab chest
>girl is ugly but has nice personality
I save her
>girl is qt and has nice personality
I save her
>girl is ugly and has shit personality
drop her, grab chest
if my character had arms like conan, they would grab both
Neither. I wait for both to fall to their ground and scavange the remains.
>>47194314
>What did Conan do?
Didn't he grab both, since they were both in arm's reach and he was strong enough to carry both due to being Conan and not just some dudebro?
>woman is treated like an object
wow, ok
>>47194239
Save the girl, then go collect the gold from the smashed chest the bottom of the cliff.
The gold will still just as precious after it's hit the ground. The girl, not so much.
>>47194327
This. She doesn't look that heavy, you can one-hand that.
>>47194239
the woman
>>47194239
>hand on the ledge
The gold. She can hold on for 6 seconds.
>>47194239
Money, wait a while to create tension and then rescue the maiden since he could Fly.
>>47194405
You can at least catch her reasonably. But are you fast enough to both grab her and grab the chest?
The chest, you can just throw on the ground behind you easily once you got enough of a grip on it to throw it back. But the woman, you have to at least grab a limb, maaaybe the braid, and physically pull her up.
>>47194239
I'm going to presume distance you want is actually extensive enough to prevent grabbing both, otherwise there is no game.
In which case: the girl. Always the girl. Some cash is going to get me some wine and some whores, but this one is better.
>>47194469
Being fucking Conan, he can just pull her up by one hand I expect.
>>47194394
Isn't a body, living or not, an object in motion?
a treasure can be replaced or retrieved, but a life cannot
>>47194239
The girl, obviously.
Besides, from the pic alone, I have no idea if there's even anything in the box.
Even if there's treasure in there, it will survive the fall. The girl won't.
>>47194239
My last character can save both, because he controls gravity.
But if he couldn't, he'd save the woman over the treasure.
My party would all save the girl except the Druid who'd go for the chest and the Fighter who'd be more then capable to grabbing both considering he can, and does, literally, carry half the party a fair amount.
>>47194239
You can sell whatever is in that box once, but you can sell the girl every night.
>>47194239
They laughed when I min-maxed arm length.
>>47194364
underrated post
>>47194239
He'd save the lady. He's not even into humans (Vargr in Traveller) but he is already pretty rich (as are the other characters in the party) so unless his boss tells him to grab the box he will save the lady.
>>47194340
Especially if said person can becomea prostitute and earn you more than that pesky little treasure.
Either that or you could ransom her (if she is royalty) or sell her to slavers.
Plus, you can have fun with her prior to that.
>>47195704
A life is replaced with snu-snu. Didn't teach you about bees and flowers? The ancient treasure of the lost people of awesomia cannot be replaced.
gold. play a dwarf rogue/ranger who gets rather ridiculously complex contracts for literally every minor job... and has forgery for... well... some people die and end up holding out on us... this makes sure we are well compensated regardless.
>>47196180
kek
>>47194239
My exalted character would save the person, but immediately regret it. Threaten her life if she mentions this to anyone. Then jump after the gold, being an air caste with a sister that gets really pissy unless we make a profit.
My PF would go for the gold, find her corpse and use speak with dead to ask if she's good enough money for a raise dead spell.
>>47194239
Woman.
Chests are sturdy.
>>47194239
My character would get the girl but would be very sad for the next couple of days.
>>47194394
>woman
It's a game asset, not a woman. I bet you're one of those fucks that complains when a bunch of pixels come together to make an image resembling an attractive womam
She'd save the woman. Chaotic neutral lesbian always goes for poon before mysterious boxes, unless she wants to find out what's in the box, then she'll have to hope the woman is good at the "tuck and roll" technique.
>>47194239
Grab the woman, and probably get her to help find all the gold? I mean, it's got to stop somewhere.
The woman. She'll save her, treat her with respect, offer her clothing, food and comfort and even escort her home.
Playing an exiled Drow who still considers herself a true citizen of Menzoberranzan and wants to go home, living in the horrifically sunlit world above full of Drow hating peoplenot without good reason, mind youshe'd take a perverse joy from the simple fact that this lady now owes her life to a Drow.
She'll go home, collapse into her families arms and cry her heart out for hours knowing the only reason she still lives at all is all at the grace of one of those spider-buggering monsters that all but decimated the world not even a handful of years ago.
It may even work out assuming the rest of the party will stay back and not ruin the allusion. Because one look at their pale skin and she'd instantly assume, half correctly, that I'm their slave or captive, kept on a short leash and forced to help people out as a type of penance.
>>47195260
Living beings are called subjects instead of objects. To call one otherwise is to imply it is non-living.
>>47196603
Wow nice 3rd world understanding of English there, hon.
>>47196603
No.
>>47194239
Depends, do I know her? Do I like her?
>>47194239
Probably by fleeing while Conan was distracted
>>47194239
Both or neither, depending on the context. As a vampire, she's fast and strong enough to do both, but also has little fucks to give without good reason.
>>47194301
Meat tobaggon
>>47196603
I am referring to you as an object in this sentence.
>>47194239
Depends whats in the chest. Is it something new I can learn that will bring me closer to my goals? The chest.
Does the person know something or is someone that can help me achieve my goals? Then the person.
If both can do that, which ever is more valuable or unattainable from somewhere else.
If either of them put me in any kind of harmful or compromising position that would get me killed, than neither.
Self preservation comes first, followed very very closely on anything that can expand my magical knowledge.
There's always more gold to be had.
Grab the girl.
>>47196215
>lol le edge XD is sooo cool!
This is why we don't let you play in our campaigns, Carl.
>Both within arm's range
spread arms, grab both
alternatively, grab the girl,i know my GM and the chest is probably a mimic anyway
>Cast feather fall on the woman
>Grab the treasure>Immediately regret both decisions, as they can't spend that treasure on a deserted island and the woman is going to cost them yet more of their dwindling food supply
>>47194239
The Astartes are sworn to protect humanity. A box of baubles is nothing compared to a human life.
Of course, if the box was full of mission critical materials/holy relics/Mcguffins....
He'd still probably save the chick. He's not on the Salamander level of trying to protect civilians, but he's getting there.
>>47197978
Ya know trolls feed on (You)s, right?
"Why the fuck should I care about a random falling box/person? It's not like they're my problem."
>>47197954
There's always more girls tofuck.
Grab the chest.
Also women cost a lot of money.
Last character was a necromancer. Grab chest, animate woman to carry chest.
>>47194239
>Both within arm's length
Go prone. Grab both.
>>47194301

>>47194239
What would my character do? Save the girl and then make her my bitch (along with the other 5 girls i saved before)
>>47194314
Pretty sure I've read this one and he goes for the treasure because there was a real problem with the girl. Like she was a real asshole or something.
>>47194239
Chaotic evil mind: Save the girl. Then push her
>>47194239
Save the person. As a robot programmed to keep people safe, going for the loot wouldn't even occur to it as a real choice.
>>47198778
Consider: the chest could actually contain two small peopler.
>>47196215
>Either that or you could ransom her (if she is royalty) or sell her to slavers.
>Plus, you can have fun with her prior to that.
>Trying to ransom a wench who has lost her virtue
I can't secure my right to my neighbor's throne with that shit. Here's 10 shekels, take it or leave it.
>>47198862
If she is a princess and her male relatives actually like and love her they may pay. Of course they'll be after your dick and try and castrate you later for raping their sister/daughter.
>>47194239
"both within arms length"
reach out with both arms
Do I get the xp for dropping her to her death and, if so, how close am I to leveling?
Probably save the woman if it's someone I know, but if I'm dungeon crawling a place that's been unlooted for ages and I know I wasn't followed... Let that doppleganger bitch drop Imma get dat gold. I can rez her ass anyways if she's human, dgaf if she ends up something else.
Reach for nothing, transcend Maya.
She'd be really torn.
Not because of the chest and it's pretty baubles but because of the girl.
Without time to divine the ladies fate she is now stuck with saving her and potentially altering her tapestry of fate or leaving her to die and and achieve much the same.
Since she has started to walk among the mortals again she has been afraid of upsetting their tapestries to much, failing to realise that since becoming one of the Disir, her very nature is to weave, the warp and weft of their life manipulated at her finger-tips.
She'd likely save her regardless. Her morals and outlook still shaped by her prior mortal life.
>>47194239
In the mindset of my last character, save the woman. She is wearing nice jewelry, which means she is worth something to someone. Find out who that someone is, and ransom her off.
>>47200259

My summoner's kind of a jerk.
The gold. He's already got a family AND a band of thieves, he can't afford another mouth to feed.
>>47200811
>chide treasure chest in case it's a mimic
Woman, then fly to bottom to get chest.
>>47200573
>the family fortune is just some outdated savings bonds
Seriously, we have no idea if what's in the chest is of any worth.
>>47194239
1) Wait for both to fall
2) Raise the corpse of the woman
3) Command her to fetch me the treasure.
4) Consume the soul, dispel undead.
>>47200899
It would be in character.
>chide mimic for not joining the party
>>47196180
>>47196603
Not in English, they're not
they're not usually referred to as "objects," admittedly, but people aren't "subjects" unless you're talking about their being ruled by a king or something
Well, it depends on the value of whatever is in the box.
If the box is anywhere over 750g in value, I'd go for the box, spend a resurrection spell on the woman for 500g and keep the rest
>>47194239
>Implying my dwarf barbarian didn't get himself stuck in the box and is currently hurdling off a cliff while another party member has to choose between him and the party slut-charisma,
>>47194239
>Both within arms length
Reach out both arms?
>>47194239
Fortunately, my current character has a way of being in two places at once.
Putting tat aside though, she would rescue the woman every time, because saving a life over gaining wealth is just the right thing to do.
>>47194239
Getting pretty tired of damsels in distress, so she can just keep falling if that one hand on the ledge doesn't work out for her.
Using both my hands for treasure, which will make me infinitely more desirable to all women, including the falling damsel in the event she manages to not die.
>>47194239
Good heavens the MYSTERY CHEST is going DIE if it falls to the ground!!!
Save the mystery chest!
>both fall
>both within arm's reach
>wat do
Use both arms?
How is this even a question?
>90 replies
Welp ...
>>47203613
/thread
>subtly calling the woman an object
Heh.
the woman is a woman but the MYSTERY CHEST could be anything... even a WOMAN!
>>47194239
Move so fast that he can grab the girl in one hand and rush over to the chest and also grab it
>>47194239
>Both are within arm's reach
Grab both, if both are within my reach I can obviously grab both of them at once.
>>47194239
>one object on one side, one on the other
UM
EX
CUSE
ME
SHITLORD
>>47194398
This. Treasure is still treasure, even when smashed a little.
Hot bitches just turn into low quality meat.
>>47194239
Grab box, Fly on Girl, Feather Fall.
My fighter would grab the girl, cop a feel, and then try and see if he could find where the chest landed so he could loot what was inside.
He's a pervert and would do damn near anything for gold, but he's not a cunt.
>>47194364
Fucking necromancers.
Is the woman a high priest, cleric, or paladin of a certain religious group?
I grab the chest if yes.
>>47194239
Think of all the girls you can buy with treasure.
easy
And innocent life is worth more than any treasure.
>>47194239
Whichever one has the higher GP value.
Girl looks like she could be worth a lot.
>>47194239
With magic.
>wizard!
>>47194239
3.5 (don't judge) Wizard. I get the fighter to grab both, I'm doing more important shit here.
>>47194239
Grab conan.
Depends on the content of the box
If it's just money/valuables then save the girl as I do have morals
If it's unknown then probably save the girl
If it's unknown knowledge or a rare magic artifact that will be destroyed by the drop then save the artifact
Morales are one thing but Knowledge is on a whole other league
Well, since the only reason Conan wants gold is so he can get pussy, I think hes better off just saving the hot chick in the first place.
>>47194239
So you're asking me if I want the chest or the chest?
>>47194239
Grab both, they're at arms length
>>47213527
But how much can he get with what's in the chest?
>>47196180
pffffttthh
>>47196603
look at that faggot and laugh.
>>47194347
>saving uggos
>>47194239
What's in the chest?
What's below the cliff?
Assuming coins an gems and other things that don't really lose much value from falling a few hundred feet onto jagged rocks, versus a human which DOES lose value from that.
>>47196603
>being this ESL

>>47196215
Virgin princesses are generally worth a lot more than non-virgin ones.
>Rescue girl
>Fly
>Retrieve chest or contents there-of
>Give party chest and claim girl as my own pleasure slave
>Teach her singing, dancing and to play several instruments
>Reading & writing, gift her my collection of epics
>Best pleasure slave
Depends on what the current mission is. If the chest is irrelevant to what we're here for, then the girl; if the chest contains some bullshit macguffin we need to save then there would probably be a grappling hook and some bullshit mantis shenanigans involved in trying to save both.
>>47194239
He's got shit strength, so he'd probably grab both if only to use the chest as a counterweight to be able to pull the woman onto safety and avoid being pulled off himself.
If there was a chance to save the chest, great. If not, he'd let it go and focus on the woman.
With a getup like that, there's a really good chance there's some money to be made from her, and if not, doing a good dead often has a very tangible, if eventual, value.Besides, his upbringing left him with a soft spot for whores in trouble.
It's probably the safer option given she clearly has a self preservation instinct that a chest of gold sorely lacks, so it's easier to pull her to safety instead of being dragged down.
>>47194314
If this is the same story I'm remembering, he goes for the chick. "More treasures can always be won" and all that. Wrong fuckin choice, tho. That shit was priceless demon treasure or something and more pussy can always be won
He'd go right for the box, even though he has a long robo arm in his back, even though he can hover. He needs the money for his big AI project.
3D women disgust him anyway...
>>47194394
u 'avin a trigger m8?
>>47196180
My last character was a barbarian and pretty much a Confucian conan, so he would save the woman.
>>47213395
The correct answer
