"Don't think me rude, but what do you want?"

>>11217
>>11220
Vous est un putain
Hitler est moi seigneur et sauveur

>>11216
slow down its almost like you are speaking a different language.

Dummkopf

>>11225
I FINALLY GOT TRIPS

>>11221
"Hey, ~buddy." Tracy says, putting a casual hoof over Ponimaru's shoulder just firm enough so that he couldn't get away
"Sorry we got off on the wrong hoof, earlier. We're cool now, right?"
*produces spherical object from beneath cloak*
"I made you this ball as a consolation gift. Colts in this kingdom don't seem to have very many toys, so I thought I'd make you one. This one is very special, so don't lose it *stares* Alright?"

does Hitler send us a sign?

>>11227
"Uhm,... its a ball," he says layered with suspicion.

>>11229
"Yeah, a futbol. Do you know how to play?"

[1d20 = 6]
>>11230
"I don't have time for games."

His discretely thrown kunai stabs the ground next to the ball.
"Perhaps I could use practice though." he concedes, blushing.

>>11231
>6
*gives futbol*
"Why don't you take this, and I'll give you some lessons when I get back? It's a great exercise in dexterity."

>>11233
"Thank you. Considering you killed me last time, I'm surprised."

>>11234
"Well, kiddo, let me teach you a lesson *stern look*: consider the risks before you decide to be the first one to pull a knife in a fight, especially against a lady."

>>11235
He raises his eyebrow.
"As I recall, you were the one who sought to attack unarmed combatants."

>>11236
>forgetting that Tracy drew her blade on the same turn she attacked
"Well, I'm sorry if I didn't make my intentions clear at the beginning, but the hoers dialect is slightly different here than it is in my realm. I didn't expect you to spring forward so suddenly though."

>>11228
Seconded.
Will Hitler give us a sign, to point us towards which path leads towards the reclamation of the Jews' treasure?

>>11228
Only if my french trips where a sign

>>11239
Tracy suddenly realizes that the only person she has not been skeptical of so far is the shopkeeper with a carrot.

You're welcome ~_o

>>11241
so hitler dosent answer me is what youre saying?

>>11241
>not suspicious
I made two successful sense motive checks on him, and got nothing.

>>11237
"You lie. You made your intentions obvious, which were to kill."

[3d20 = 40]
>>11245
"Oh, did I? I don't remember saying that. I just wanted a piece of that cocky mare for riding off with my husband." I unironically intended to have her bite an apple-sized chunk out of Copper's ass and leave, like I saw in a documentary about horses
Perform (acting): feign innocence

Bluff: Flatter
"Anyway, your little heroic deed wasn't in vain. That two-toned mare totally appreciated it, and it took quite a bit to calm her down."
Bluff again: Fabricate a story.
"After that scene, she didn't want to stay in the stables anymore. She went to a farm up state, where she's could run around freely with all the other Clydesdales."

Torcuil decides to talk to Lenos

>>11246
"Oh, you're saying it was a misunderstanding then? That your brandished blades were merely intended to intimidate?"

>>11247
"What timing! Here, hold this," he says, putting precise amounts of liquid in a larger flask with another amount of liquid.

>>11249
Eh, am I holding a bomb?

>>11250
"Yes."
It explodes. Its not life-threatening, but he's been wanting to blow something/someone up ever since players got wise to the firebombs.
After he stops laughing he says, "Okkay, okkay, what's up?"

>she hadn't drawn her knife until he attacked
>I did this specifically, because I accounted for the fact that she wouldn't be able to talk easily with a knife in her mouth (wasn't sure if she could use her hooves in full-sized form)
"Well, a mare's gotta defend herself in this world, you know. Especially when there are edgy bois out there ready to spring at her throat without warning. I can't say they don't intimidate though; most attackers get confused when they see a horse with a knife.
Anyway, what's a colt like you doing with kunai knives? Where'd you get them?"

>>11251
Thez told me to talk to oou about arcane and divine magic.
What do oou have to say?

>>11253
He mutters "Bitch" under his breath.
"Yeah, what about it. I told her that in confidence you know, its not something to go singing to the winds if you catch my meaning,... but yeah. Magic is magic, and there are ways - if you do it right - to do any kind of magic. Its what is known (to the very few) as they Way of the Mystic Theurge.
>>11252
"Kunai are not difficult to acquire. They're sharpened pieces of steel. I have more on me than you know," he says pulling another 2 from hidden compartments/areas.

>>11254
Tell me more

i pray for a sign from hitler. gm why you no gibe answer?

>>11255
He sighs.
"Its lucky you got a cross-axial palindrome," he mutters. "Alright,, let's head up to the dais then." Lenos leads Torcuil grabs a couple books from the Library before making his way up to the top.
I gotta pass out, but I'll elaborate in the morning

>>11257
Night GM

>>11256
A benevolently square-'stached voice echoes in your head.
"What were you expecting? These things take time. More on Thursday."

Trumpaladin's plane lands

>>11254
>My lies aren't working on this kid
"Well, you certainly have good taste in edges, kiddo. *tassels mane* I'll be on my way now, but don't forget to practice with that ball.*icy gaze*"
"Well, goodbye then." *trots off*

>>11261
Not much happened aside from some special letter from The. GM said he was turning in for the night.

>>11263
From Thez*

>gibs futbul

*sighs*
You know it doesn't have to be this way. It's not too late

>>11265
I made that futbol several weeks ago out of the skin on his own ass, with all intention to give it to him as a "Sorry I 1-shoted you" gift the next time Tracy met him. It would've been a waste to throw it away after all this time.

>>11266
GM, please take note that any and all characters found to be possessing that Judeo-Bolshevik instrument are to be ripped apart limb from limb, burned, and their ashes placed in stone filled barrels dropped in deep water.

>>11267
Sounds hawt.

>>11268
>she could have been a Bolshevik slayer all of these years, but chose to go down the part of wickedness instead
\r

>>11209
So she'd rather let go of the child than the child die?

>>11246
I swear to God can your character go a single interaction without lying to someone? It's perfectly unnecessary in this scene.

She's a perfect replica of my ex-girlfriend, especially post-break up. Are you actively trying to make me hate her?
\r

>>11267
Relax, next time its seen it'll be hanging in the stable, the black parts being used as individual targets for kunai.
>>11272
Would you like me write her in so you can beat the piss out of her?

>>11272
tbqh, I was only doing it because I felt like playing around with the bluff skill. I'm not even looking at the character flowcharts.

>>11275
>*reads thread while fully awake and sober*
>'wtf am I doing? This isn't Tracy'
>*Reads flow-chart development summary*
>'wtf do I even use this godawful horrific system?'
Actually, on second thought, this really is a load of horseshit at this point. I've been abusing Tracy's simple, unoriginal character with these goddamn convoluted mathematic flowcharts. Tracy, as a meme, is an unapologetic murderer, but by no means a liar. Ponies don't lie to this destructive magnitude
Fug, in retrospect. These flowcharts were a mistake: in my endeavor to make the game more interesting, I let Hell freeze over and made a Tracy into something *shudders* original. Right now, she's closer to an actual hysterical woman than an edgy magical pony. The best part about ponies is that they're not like real hoo-man women. Fuck! What have I done? This isn't waifu material.
Yandere Calculus was a creative writing theory that I made years ago when I was a edgy weeb faggot; it was largely based on dramatic horror anime and Greek tragedy, and worst of all my ex-girlfriend. This shit isn't suitable for simple-minded magical ponies: it was developed to maximize the most horrific possible dramatic plotlines possible from hysterical women. If i followed the development summary in sincerity (which I never do), Tracy would've been a genuinely evil, poisonous creature by now.
I'm going to take a different approach from now on. I'm going to burn most, if not all of these infernal flowcharts. Expect leg-humping when I'm not sure what to do: it'll keep things Unoriginal.
Only you can make her into waifu material, but I'm not going to allow this fucked-up system I created to actively campaign against it too much anymore. I'll cut the lying bullshit and try to make her a bit more transparent.

>>11278
Well, back then, I was going to have her be smug and condescending to him, but that was before GM made him into a Colt (there's nothing to be smug about after killing a kid, regardless of how edgy you are). I just got bored and felt to condition him so I could casually bully him later, just for some much-needed comic relief, since Tracy is the only one who can actually talk to him.
She has nothing to gain, and no reason to care. I was just in a shitty mood, and set aside character development for a while to larp as the Rogue for a bit, and felt like seeing if he'd fall for the 'farm up state' thing. it wasn't really supposed to be a representation of her character; i just got lazy and bored and did something unnecessarily evil.....
I haven't been sleeping very much lately, and I get weird ideas when I write at midnight. I'll try to be a better larger in the future, because Tracy's character isn't going in the direction I wanted her to.

>>11243
>>11241
So, I guess the message is that she gets the intuitive thought to turn back to box town?

>>11285
It's not that far from the crossroads, right?
*walks back up the path towards Pip*

GM, where are we in the game? I would like Trumpaladin to try out his new Subaru or however the hell you spell it, and figure out how it plays out in a fight, and to also see if the resurrection tool is transportable. After that is accomplished, I would like him to rejoin the group riding Fae

Another question: are we using a permutation with "smite evil," can it be cast while mounted, and would casting it consume an attack space in a turn?

>>11288
yes and yes.

>>11288
According to the Wiki, Smite Evil can be applied to any normal Meelee attack, and can be use 4 times per day at level 15.
It should be usable while mounted.
I think the Paladin was also supposed to have a Bless Weapon ability, but I can't find it...

>>11291
How do spells even work in this game? I've never RP'd before...

>>11293
when you say spells do you mean spells that are used for buffing or spells for attacking?

>>11294
So... Would Smite Evil consume an attack space?

>>11295
yea spell-like abilites take up attack actions.

>>11294
Well, any, really...
Then again, it seems I've figured it out. Tracy's a mudpony, so she can't use any spells except for blackguard spells while in Nightmare form
>>11295
It's applied to a normal melee attack, so you should just be able to add it on to any attack that involves one.
Paladin can use other spells, btw.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Paladin_Spell_List

>>11297
well buff spells and attack spells both take action slots,

>>11298
Ah, idk how this works desu.
I actually avoided reading into the attack mechanics because I wanted to avoid D&D tier rigidity. My only real interest was prestige classes.

>>11160
>very slightly modifying image size to evade the one-per-thread image limit
Those were three separate versions of a shoop I modified. I was trying to see which looked the least shitty.

>>11297
Damn these are some useful spells, especially for my intended purpose

>>11302
*rolls up newspaper*

GM, what is my spell casting level? If I am not to 3, is there anyway to access specific spells in that category? There's one specifically I really want

>4th level spell casting Paladins are damned near unstoppable slayers of Evil and Outsiders
HOW DO I MAKE THIS HAPPEN

>>11304
you have 1 4th level spell.

>>11304
>>11303
how to acsess higher level spells.
>leveling up is how you gain more uses

>>11277
Apology accepted Xp
>>11283
I had thought that it would enable a more natural development. Just one more of my ideas into the can
>>11287
Tbh, I'm not exactly sure. I'm going to have to re-read the last 3-5 threads just to pick up on all the things I've forgotten, missed, or just couldn't be arsed to respond/comment on. This was just one of the many reasons for the 2-3 week jump.

... in fact, the contract which Thez arranged - and which Trump is explicitly and permanently not included in - involves taking raw gold/gems, taking them to an artisan of absurd skill, and turning them into fabulously expensive jewelry that is for sale exclusively at the Port Barry shop.

But OH no, TRUMP needed it to BUILD shit,.... XP

... it was/is essentially a money-hack also geared toward re-establishing Barry's filed pirate contracts due to the rats invasion, increasing trade and travel to the port.
But Trump HAD to have a stadium first,....
(this is mostly Thez ranting at this point)

*failed

>>11328
>selling goods to people in a city with no money when there's a port RIGHT THERE and it could have brought a positive balance of trade from export
Never accused her of having business sense

>>11329
He used eminent domain to make himself a steakhouse too.
>>11331
Not selling your exclusive jewelry all over the world FROM the port.

>>11331
No you buffoon. Don't make me rewrite the game history 'cuz you won't admit you're wrong. The goods are sold to the lingering travelers who still minimally arrive there. The quality of the items is such that even the smallest ring would fetch a hefty sum and would draw the attention of monied (read royal) interests from across the land.

And what's more, all the artisan in question wants is more materials to make shit WITH, he's not taking ANY of the profits.

>>11332
Do you go to Tel Aviv or Brussels to buy Diamonds? No? Do you go to Germany to buy cars? Shanghai to buy Televisions? Didn't think so

>>11334
>>11333
>saying all this shit long after it is irrelevant
You could have said any of this to a very receptive audience at any point earlier in the game. You could have given hints. I even asked about the business deal at the time and nothing came of it. None of this was at all foreseeable from anything in the game or outside of it. All you said about Thez and gems was that she wanted the smaller ones to wear herself, and much later, that Thez willingly gave Trump possession because she believed he was doing well with it.

>>11334
Fucking THIS!
Did you ever consider what could happen if Lenos, a dragon mind you, ever grew angry or bored with anyone living at the tower? Enjoy exploding.
>>11335
No, you have them imported, from Brussels, Germany, or Shanghai.
Port Barry is a port: Half of it's purpose is to export products.

>>11336
Tel Aviv is host to a large diamond exchange. If you buy diamonds, you just might be supporting the diamond industry of Tel Aviv

>>11339
i know that, thats while i avoid jewlry all to gather.

>>11338
Hence why it is better to sell the goods internationally
