That's right random anon who happens to read this post, it's /vx/'s third DnD campaign!
>What's this one about?
Chaos Ascending is an epic level campaign for DnD 3.5e. It takes place roughly 10,000 years before Celestia and Luna assume rule over Equestria. Technology is at a medieval level plus magic of course.
Equus during this era was a land of peace, the ponies and few other creatures inhabiting Equus living in harmony. The gods of this realm, know to the ponies only as The Unknown Ones, decided that nothing would disturb their harmony and moved on; only granting their power to the most dedicated of ponies. Soon, the ponies' society expanded across the planes. A Utopia was built on its own plane, serving as a hub of travel, politics, and trade. Ponies lived in happiness, nothing to disturb them. It was a land of peace and harmony, but rumors existed. Rumors that there were ponies who thought that harmony was worthless. Ponies who wished to disturb the order of the planes. Ponies who wished to ascend the agenda of...
Chaos...
>How long will it last?
Until I can progress through the entire story, which should take at the most three months of weekend play and about two months at the least, or until Atlas personally smites me. Whichever comes first.
>When does it start?
This is an advance notice so players have time to build characters, ask questions, and seek GM approval. The campaign will start in 2-3 weeks.
>When will we play?
Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. And then only if all players are available.
Here are the guidelines for building a character:
Level: 25
Sources for classes, feats, spells, etc.: Any as long as they are approved. No breaking my game
Wealth: 35,000,000 GP
Stats: Point buy with 34 points at your disposal. Buy your stats then apply racial stats. Here's the calculator I use: http://www.propelled.de/extern/chargen
Races:
Evil characters are not explicitly banned, but chaotic and neutral evil are HEAVILY discouraged against.
Earth Ponies:
+2 Str +2 Con
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark.
Earth Ponies receive Toughness as a bonus feat.
Earth Ponies can hold a two-handed weapon with their maw. Light weapons can be held with hooves.
Pegasi:
+2 Dex -2 Con
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Glide: A pegasus of any level can glide when falling at a speed of 40ft, negating all fall damage. This ability takes affect even when unconscious, though the user takes 1d6 falling damage.
Flight: A pegasus can use their wings for flight with a speed of 40ft (good maneuverability) beginning at lvl 5.
Pegasi can use two-handed weapons by holding it with their maw and using a wing to help maneuver the weapon, sacrificing flight. Light weapons can also be held with a wing, sacrificing flight.
Unicorns:
+2 Int -2 Str
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Unicorns receive Eschew Materials as a bonus feat.
Unicorns have two "handslots" using the magic of their horn, these extend to 10ft of reach. Two-handed weapons can be used with a unicorn's maw and a handslot or both handslots, either way rendering them unable to focus their magic on other tasks. Light weapons can be held in each handslot.
Crystal Ponies:
+2 Con -2 Dex
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Crystal Composition: Crystal ponies can turn their bodies crystalline, invoking different sets of bonuses and penalties. In this form they receive a +3 bonus to AC, and +3 to fortitude saves. As a tradeoff they take a -2 penalty to the following checks: Reflex, Swim, Tumble, Hide, Move Silently. This ability can only be activated 1/day.
Crystal Ponies use two-handed weapons by employing their maw and one hoof to control the weapon. This reduces their speed by 5ft.
Kirin:
+1 Wis +1 Cha
Nirik: A kirin's temper can ignite, making them rash and fierce. 1/day a Kirin can fly into a fury of emotion, turning into a Nirik for 1 round per level. This form grants the Kirin a +4 bonus to attacks, +1d4 fire damage to melee attacks, but invokes a -3 penalty to any wisdom related check or save.
Kirins have two "handslots" using the magic of their horn, these extend to 10ft of reach. Two-handed weapons can be used with a kirin's maw and a handslot or both handslots, either way rendering them unable to focus their magic on other tasks. Light weapons can be held in each handslot.
Bat Ponies:
+2 Wis -2 Cha
One maxed out skill related to cutie mark
Glide: A bat pony of any level can glide when falling at a speed of 40ft, negating all fall damage. This ability takes affect even when unconscious, though the user takes 1d6 falling damage.
Flight: A bat pony can use their wings for flight with a speed of 40ft (average maneuverability) beginning at lvl 5.
Dark vision to 60ft
+2 racial bonus to listen
Bat Ponies can use two-handed weapons by holding it with their maw and using a wing to help maneuver the weapon, sacrificing flight. Light weapons can also be held with a wing, sacrificing flight.
For those looking at the divine classes here's the pantheon:
The Unknown One Above All Earth Ponies
The Unknown One Above All Pegasi
The Unknown One Above All Unicorns
The Unknown One Above All Crystal Ponies
The Unknown One Above All Kirin
The Unknown One Above All Bat Ponies
The Unknown One Above All Dragons
The Unknown One Above All Evil
After the gods of old moved on, their names fell out of common use and slipped from memory. Now known only as The Unknown Ones, their clerics and paladins are often of the same race. Though there are always exceptions to the rules. Domains are not set, except the domains of Death and Evil, which are restricted to The Unknown One Above All Evil.

She follows Ash along with the hovering dragon as little by little, ponies start to congregrate around the vicinity. They seem terrified but have a higher sense of purpose in order to walk so bravely into the unknown. Some of the many ponies carry wagons between two ponies and most of them have light crossbows on a wooden tower shield on their backs.
All in all it seems there's more than 2000 ponies, all lined up on the street, trying to have as many ponies standing horizontally as possible along the street, all staring at Topaz riding her dragon.

Using Perinarch, Sister Ash seizes control of the plane's chaotic traits and calms the atmosphere before her, canceling the winds.

How far are the Islands?
Regardless of how far they are, Sister Ash attempts to focus her control of the plane to narrow the space time between the islands and the rift to bring the islands towards her.
Normally using Perinarch wouldn't actually require a Wisdom check, but I think that counts as a complex command.

It seems to be that a rift to the plane of chaos has opened up in our demiplane. If we're unlucky, it we be destroyed.
My PC is currently using a spell to control the plane if chaos everywhere within 90 feet of her, and is attempting Wisdom checks to gain further control past that distance.

An urn, which may or may not contain something more than an urn, which may or may not have gotten caught up in what's going on, will be supremely pissed if she it didn't wind up on the business end of the cray portal

I feel like you can't, since I assume the GM wants all PCs to enter that portal. Phospy has cowe, but the others could get separated from us.

Take advantage of the plane's varying elemental dominance and subjective dimensional gravity, and manifest winds to move objects towards me as a move action, then use my Animate Objects to bring the floating Islands to life and command them to carry the caged ponies to safety.

Alright. How far away are these Islands? Is they're close enough I could change the elemental dominance of the plane and make the clumps of earth disappear.

Alright. I only have total control of reality at a radial distance of 90 feet with Perinarch; 65 feet without Perinarch (because enormous Wisdom).

I mean it isn't the only portal, and the clouds sure aren't normal. Neither are the ponies that were screaming something about a ritual.

A rip in reality opened up to the Ever-changing plane of chaos. Then a bunch of pink clouds floated out and rained chocolate on us.
On the other side of the portal we see ponies in cages.
>>110249
If possible, I'd like to cast invisibility on myself and move forward into the portal. My fly speed is 180 feet (good) with cloud Wings, and I can increase that speed my manipulating elemental dominance into a tailwind.
Can I get to the islands in a move action?

Yeah, I know, I was there. I'm in the urn. I'm just asking for a little background. Like, why did these three(?) poners happen across the rift to chaos?

We were in a demiplane city for whatever reason we individually had (probably to buy shit from Mercanes or something), and now it seems as though something's torn a hole in the fabric of this very-small reality.

Pretty sure it'll be answered as chaos being chaos or an intricate plot to destabilize the country as we know it, based on the OP.

>chaos explains its self
Anyway, the reason I showed UP to this party in a urn was because I thought it would be expedient to be unobserved. Unsurprisingly, all this has amounted to is a funny gag.

4 poners and an Urn. Why? Cause there's an assload of them around them.
>>110260
As Candy flies through, the atmosphere grows thicker, almost as if she's swimming instead of flying. There's also a strong wing as some of the smaller islands slowly circle the largest island in sight. The largest island contains a large congregation of ponies; cages with ponies and various creatures trapped inside; and a large funnel cloud of the same pink clouds leaking into the other planes. There also seems to be a small group of ponies on a smaller island, watching the events unfold.
>>110258
Two move actions, take it or leave it. But entering the portal might be a good first move.

I'm just saying. I thought this was gonna be some sort of 'event' that all the characters were going to be called to deal with, rather than a "Oh hey, a chaos portal. Someone should do something about it".
"He's just mad because he thought that hiding in an urn would be a good idea and now he looks like an idiot."

Topaz can't help but widen her eyes as the random pony just flies into the portal on a broom without a care in the world.
(She sure seems confident about her odds.)
Phospy decides to look around for any portals at ground level in order for her many ponies to pass through the portal, as well as her grounded thrall, for Topaz's desire to try and help the caged ponies.

I mean, the height wouldn't hurt much if somepony fell from it. You can't reach the portal Topaz and Phospy are looking at without at least jumping for it, nevermind climbing along the dragon's body.

Okay.
I've got Perinarch active currently, so no other entity can take control of my stabilized zone; my Planar Adaption class feature makes me immune to the negative effects of hostile planes, so i shouldn't need to roll for Wild Magic spell failure.
What does she see upon going through the portal? Rolling Spot.

I don't think she can see them due to Dust of Disappearance effect making them have Invisibility, Greater on them for 6 rounds, but no harm done if she's the only witness.
The trio decides to gently fly over to the caged ponies if available to try and get a clear picture, mainly for Topaz's sake.

As the group flies closer, there is a deafening bang and a flash dissipating the funnel of clouds. The flash blinds all watching ponies temporarily, as any not standing on the island are thrown thrown back a good distance by the shock wave.
Once their sight returns, they can see a crater where the center of the island was, it's walls reaching almost to the island's edges. Any of the ponies, caged or free, that are left after the explosion are visibly injured and barely moving. At the bottom of the crater the dust clears to reveal a serpentine form with mismatched limbs.

Topaz and Co. seem quite shocked to be pushed back like that, but she doesn't try to fight it, knowing that there's reason not to rush in quite yet.
(We should still try to help the ponies there out. We must try and get closer.)
And so, they start their trek to the island again.
How many rounds have passed?

So am I correct in the assumption that somewhere beyond the portal is an island that had caged ponies on it, which has just exploded and DiSnekord has just revealed herself?

Less than 400? Yes. Turtles used surprise round in his barreling.
Discord simply looks around and speaks.
"Nothing like our chaos... But why do I feel harmony? Around me?"
He snaps his fingers, and six spots start glowing in the dirt. One next to the pegasus healing a pony.
"Hmmmm, not ideal."
Cao's turn.

In her flight, she's more easily observable by all participants. She's a female Cao, dappled with brown and white. Two little horns poke up above a feathered mask, each sporting a small ring. She wears a ridiculously finely woven shirt of glistening metal (mythril). Around her waist is a thick and wide weight belt with a cloud-shaped buckle. On either side of her thighs is a satchel of sorts. One looks like a quiver and has several handles protruding from it, the other is a squarish backpack.
Her hooves glitter with a gold metallic substance, too fine to really identify at a glance, but visible nonetheless.
A midnight blue Cowl is loosely about her head, and from her shoulders is mounted a large banner on a long pole, with a silver spiral emblazoned on a blue felt background.

Is Discord a known chaos-everything or is that hidden knowledge? I'm trying to calculate the probability that Sonata has even heard of him.

Sister Ash replies, smoke rising off of her body as the plane around her becomes fire-dominant from her visible anger
"The Churning Chaos Of Limbo.. Is not my territory; it's no mare's land.."
Then she points to the ponies in cages
"But they.. These ponies are children of the prime material plane. What business do you have to trap them here?" she demands

Ash and the turtle are by what would be the ring of injured ponies, about 100 ft from discord and the Pegasus.
The trio is about 300' feet from the island.

Phospy and its passengers start flying over to the two bad ponies getting attacked by Ash at a speed of 170 feet per turn with average maneuverability as a move action. Sadder still, the dragon can't reach with its breath weapon so it decides to keep moving until both baddies are 80 feet from him.
Shall I include Topaz's turn?

The chain lightning hits Discord and bounces to the Pegasus standing next to him.

Topaz starts using her Astral Construct Power, augmenting its construct to have Improved Grab from Menu B, Constrict from Menu C and Muscle from Menu B, using 17 power points, essentially producing a Huge Buff Construct.
She commands it to charge the pegasus as a free action, moving at a speed of 50 feet per turn and occupying 10 spaces.
Whew, that took long.
Rolling a charge attack, which should grapple if successful.

"Well Midnight, I think I'll show them how we deal with trespassers."

Gotcha
Discord begins to chuckle as he snaps his fingers, and all the party (ponies and cows) find themselves trapped in an invisible cage
"Now if you'd be so kind as to stay there a moment I would like to explain some things to you all."
I'll call this another stopping point, we'll resume next Friday.
Okay, now I'm really looking forward to this you guys. Feel free to ask questions in the thread as usual

It wouldn't require a roll. t just depends if he counts as a target of the spell.
It works like a rod of absorbtion, and he can absorb 43 levels of spells.

I think he can manage to place you in the cage along with the others if you believe your character to be bold enough to enter it.
Which you most likely should due to it being epic level.

Or I could be in one of the cages, assuming not all ponies were sacrificed in one fell swop when Discord was summoned, that imprison the ponies the chaos cult had captured or something. I will leave that up to the GM if he thinks he can handle another player and wants to throw me in to the story this late. It is your campaign i don't want to butt in.
I will return to this thread tomorrow evening.

See, the ponies inside the cages got fucked really hard by a massive explosion. However, the option is still available for you.
As for butting in, I suppose it's not a big deal for now. It's only the beginning, probably setting up motivations to stop the evil serpent dragon thing as well as fleshing out the world, maybe. Some sort of urgency injected to it, too.

There's an Epic Level Handbook you should look at too.
We're doing lvl 25, so the party are meant to represent Primordial demigod-like figures.

When I rearranged Sister Ash's stats, I took her starting int that was orignally 14 and made it 10, same for Charisma.
I was sort of panicked the day of the first session when i realized that her Constitution was inexcusably low for a character who was ideally meant to be more melee than caster. Th enhancement bonuses only get her so much, and they don't increase until 3 levels from now.
