The last thread got stale, so I baked anew. This bread is filled with nuts, so it might aggravate allergies or bother anons with sensitive teeth.
Seriously though this is an RP thread; you've been warned.

>>10710Noted. Also, you're good you. That was fast.
As for the leadership bit, she meant it. There IS a difference between leading and dictating however. Part of Thez' success with the ne'ers was because she wasn't TELLING them to fight, she was in the ring fighting WITH them.
"And 'cuz I paid for their whores!"
>>10711 →A noble vengeance that stays true to the clerical domain. Romantic, and suitable for a Chaotic good character.
I like it.
>>10712Then those who are not interested in following Gridiron, in fighting for the Right, or in protecting Port Barry can leave and returned to their charred homes. No matter. Only those who are motivated are fit in any event. Trumpaladin follows the holy way, the way of Good and Football and America. He calls upon all to follow him. Some will be fit for this quest, and some will not. But for those who are, they shall be organized into the Church Militant
Trumpaladin will also be offering nose jobs and legal name changes to relevant members of the upper classes. He needs all the resources available. Even bankers, lawyers, and business executives. Perhaps especially them
Tracy is still spelunking in an undisclosed location, looking for a good lair.
>>10715I get what you are saying, and I like/agree. I was being a bit catty, in the interest of presentation and measure, please pay that no mind.
Trump has full reign to do as he suggests, but he notices that every time he means to say "Follow", he curiously says "Join".
Also Infernius, "You goof", don't worry. I've already thought of 3 loopholes. ^_!
So if i've read right

TRACY IS PREGNENT?
Tracy found her cave, and is explaining to the ants how she wants it excavated.
>>10719Are you referring to the consequences of a Cleric race-mixing with an infernal monk of opposite alignment? (high-impact sexual tragedy, anyone?)>>10720>*yanks fork out of haggis*Welcome to the bread.>>10723I hadn't even thought of that, I was referring to the terms of the seal against outsiders. I WILL think about that though.

>>10725Is it wrong that I found that pic arousing? Should I even be saying this? Does it even matter anymore? smh self-depricatingly
>>10727>>10725I can't find it, but wasn't there an agreement that everything thay happened to Tracy would become board canon?
Trump, be happy for your goddamn waifu. I will go down with this ship >>10718I'm guessing your referring most to the mention of incorporation of people with specialized knowledge into the town school, and perhaps also the mandatory education of the youth. This I guess, may have to wait until the USFL has almost soveriegn power. As for the conscription of the veterans into the Church Militant, I can't imagine they'd be unwilling very often, at least where they don't have other things going on in their lives they need to attend to, and even that is allowed for under Trump's plan
>>10729You leave me no choice. Read this
>>10678 → >>10729Don't worry, I slipped it into one of the Tea times. It was dismissed as Fake News, but its still on record.
>>10730I'm saying people don't respond as well to 'compulsory' or 'mandatory'. Consider a "You'll get what you want if..." strategy perhaps?
>>10729Thanks. I still ship you with Trollestia.GM, you still haven't given Trollestia's judgement of Torq's rare Pepe collection.
Also, was I right to guess that her clerical domain was Trickery aka Trolling?
>>10733In order to judge, I'd/she'd have to see it. How does it rate compared to the Mlpol pepe collection?

>>10732When Pearl Harbor was bombed, people came in droves to sign up for the army. And almost no one was actually present for that. And now Port Barry has had its own Pearl Harbor
>"You'll get what you want if…"You want to serve God, King, and Country. Err... Football and Port Barry. It's the same motivation that caused people to give up their established lives to liberate Jerusalem. It's the same motivation as lead so many people to charge into steel and lead and danger in so many thousands of wars. Trumpaladin is interested in Patriots, and Patriots alone. He shall find them
Don't worry, he gives a rousing speech first
>>10738That sounds about right. Its kind of a splitting hairs point, but your proposal sounded a bit like you were telling people what to do, rather than giving them the means to accomplish what they already wanted to do.
>>10735top fukkin kek

It seemed like precisely the sort of thing you might be interested in. I was wondering if you would put forth the time to teach them combat skills, and teach them of what they'll be up against. Who knows, they may be willing to learn about Rockwell and the Jews"

"And it also makes for a wicked sled!"
>>10758Wait, wat? Is that a weapon?
>>10763It was discretely put in play, but yes. Its a composite longbow, and it floats of its own accord. There's an arrow attached by a thin strand of rope, but it floats along and follows you. There's a shadowy essence that seems attached to it.
Did any of those infernal leave any weapons behind when they vanished?
>>10765Nope, their equipment and trappings vanished with them. No swag, sorry
>>10767No, it maintains its distance
>>10764>non-edged, ranged weaponI'll have to do some character gymnastics to get her to even touch it...
Can it be concealed?
>>10767You could use it all you want if you were on her back. >>10768Distance from Tracy. Can I get close enough
>>10769kek. Probably not (concealment)
>>10770>distanceDepends on environment, but its usually no less than 60' if allowed, and its deliberately moving to avoid both scrutiny and notoriety.
"His name is Bob! Balthazar Ozymandius Bestimus!"
You be quiet.
>>10775Don't worry, he's good at that, I only thought I'd mention so I don't have to roll for spot checks every so often
>>10776Look on my works, ye mighty?
>>10777She's not a Paladin.*teleports behind you (literally: she jumped planes) and hugs your back affectionately*
*hums* "~Hhhmmm, hello, ~Flashy."
>>10779You named him Balthazar Ozymandius Bestimus. Balthazar is a real name and I'm not sure if it's a reference to something, but Balthazar was the name of a character (the poison seller?) in Romeo and Juliet, and I think of the traitor in the Battlestar Galactica remake series. Ozymandias, an alternative name for Pharaoh Ramses II of Egypt, is the name of Percy Shelly's famous poem. It includes the lines "My name is Ozymandius. King of Kings. Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair"
>>10780"Gah!"
>>10780*became momentarily ethereal
>>10782[affectionate hoers noises]
>>10782You're correct, but Balthazar is also one of the 3 wise men in the nativity legend. Bestimus was a bit of a phone-in, so that (WAAAAY earlier) he could
call himself "The Best Man". Its part of Thez' history.
>>10781Not talk, but he can thump the bowstring. One means yes, two means no, and "Swift defeat to mine enemies" means something is up (cuz he's shooting at something).
>>10785Trumpaladin makes a mental note of why he had marked down "jump scare" in his journal entry for the blue one
>>10757of course trump and i have founded a pantheon remember.
>>10782ozzymanas is bad guy in movie me see once.
>>10788"Um... hi?" Trump says scared
"I see the parts of the machines that were missing have turned up"
>>10790Ozymandius was also a historical king noted for his fairness and rigid adherence to common law.
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert... near them, on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away
This is the second set of Making Port Barry Great Again. Whereas most of what was said in the previous post involved Trumpaladin’s independent Football League/religious organization, this will mostly involve the civilian government of Port Barry. These changes will be very expensive, and could not possibly be expected to be completed even halfway by the conclusion of the three week period. They will be financed as logic dictates by the party’s finances, by the public treasury, by private investment, or by sheer borrowing where there is no other money available.
Trumpaladin shall have to look for anyone who could find the missing Jew gold AND could be relied upon to hand it over to the city treasury.
>If only there were a level 15 rogue who could find the missing Jew gold and then actually return it to the city
A man can dream, a man can dream
First, the town declares a corvée to clean up the streets and other mess from the destruction wrought by the demon attack. (not rebuilding, just cleaning up). Then, begins an assessment by adjustors and surveyors of the damage to the city. They shall determine the extent of the damage, and what areas should be destroyed altogether.
Second, retrieve all books on engineering, architexture, and city planning from the Trump Tower library, and begin planning the reconstruction of the relevant sections. Private property will be seized by the city via eminent domain. The exact specifications of the reconstruction shall have to wait for a report on the damage to the city, but in general, Trump would like to see the following changes
First, a street pattern that is arranged in a grid pattern rather than at random, In the alternative, streets radiate out from a central point Parisian style, the center point being either a plaza or a public building. But the big changes are these
A grand new city hall to be the center of city government, unless of course the existing one is sufficient for this purpose, and is sufficiently undamaged (paid for by the public)
A tower to use as the headquarters of the United States Football League. Obviously the Church needs its Vatican (party funded)
A new Diamond exchange. This will involve the relevant jeweler and the jewel industry in Port Barry that Thez helped set up (private funder)
A new tower hotel (Trump?)
Upscale Housing (Trump/borrowed money. It will pay for itself
A new shopping complex
A church for Inferius’s religion
>The brother survived unscathed somehow
It shall be burned to the ground. Tracy is welcome to help, but it’s coming down one way or another. It shall be replaced with the Port Barry Courthouse.
As mentioned in the previous section, the monestary and the raining grounds, like the stadium, are to the north of the city outside the walls. It seems that it will be wise to expand the walls up North to enclose this new section. Trumpaladin loves building walls, so this should be fun. The new enclosed area should include space for a few farms and probably also low income housing.
I believe a citadel should be built, should another assault fall upon Port Barry
As for rebuilding industry, the following things should occur. Please note that they would be financed by private funds and contracts, foreign investment, or borrowing with the expectation of future returns
Expand the already yuge forge to include a full-scale rolling mill and blast furnace. Build a warehouse as well, if there isn’t already one
Build an Armory, probably as an expansion of what exists already at the forge
Build a tannery
Build a textile mile
Build a paper mill
Build a printing press
Build a shipyard, or expand the existing one
These will be built near the water, preferably by the harbor, and to the west of the city (or perhaps the east) outside of the walls if necessary
Of course, three large ocean going vessels should be purchased, commissioned, or commandeered, for the Mendicant Order. These shall spread the word of Football across all continents and to all corners of the world
Naturally, Trumpaladin will give a speech, probably several, to the citizenry. He will speak of the fighting against the evil forces of globalism and Soccer that tried to attack the town, and that really were lurking and waiting to attack for just the right time, seizing upon an opportunity when the group was away. But thanks to the brave men and wo men of the Port Barry defense force, casualties were minimized. Thanks to the power of Football and the devotion of the party, they were able to distract the demons from the city, then fight through them, slaying hordes of them, killing the lieutenants, and leading right into Soros, the one armed-bastard. Thez, having seen the light of Football, placed a permanent travel ban on all outsiders except spooky horse apparently, and in the process, deported herself. Now Trump asks all citizens of Port Barry to display the same devotion and willingness to sacrifice in rebuilding the city, and in helping to spread the word of Football, which delivered the city from evil. He also tells them to be on the look out for Soccer – that most evil of “sports” – as it is a demonic plot, existing to pervert national love. He tells them of his plans for Port Barry and for the USFL, and asks them to join, He tells of the Football powered miracle of the resurrection booth, and how he is using it to revive casualties
>>10794Only if I get to stick a sword in some stone
>>10794>burn the brothel"YOU SHALL DO NO SUCH THING! Oooooh, this motherfucker! You're lucky that me escaping means that Soros escapes! Wait a second,...."
A disembodied purple fist appears in the air above Trump and <WHONK> he has another lump on his head.
"It was business."
>>10795Is that a metaphor, or am I not following?
>Is reading Guardian Paramount abilitiesFug! She's indestructible. It's great to play a class that can defend other characters too.
Can Tracy also get a good armor upgrade somewhere? She has good reason to protect her body now. Maybe some of those gold-steel plates?
>>10791>Paladin not being immune to fear*is still nuzzling you*
"~Hmmmh..! Oh, yes, it seems the pirates who looted them fled when the infernals attacked and left their treasure behind. I picked the parts up while I was looking for infernal weapons.. ~hhmm." Tracy says nonchalantly, clearly glad to see you.
>>10796>metaphor,He's based on Merlin, remember?
>>10797Quite literally, Lenos is the only person who's ever forged anything out of golded steel. Its a sound idea though.
>>10798I was just checking, I first thought it was a vaguely lewd joke is all.
>>10796I see the travel ban was only partly successful.
"TRACY! Want to burn something? Like a large building?"
>>10795So long as that isn't code for sex with Trollestoa, then sure
>>10797"I know you're lying"
>>10801"Ooooh, this,... okay fine, if thats how he wants to play it."
No violation of the travel ban has occurred, since no one has traveled anywhere and no goods or information was exchanged. I will suggest that you should probably leave the brothel alone.
[2d20 = 29]>>10801Bluff (dispel suspicions) + Perform (acting: appear extra innocent)
"~Hhhmmm.. Now why would I lie to you about that, ~Flashy?"
>burn[inquisitive hoers noises]
You do realize this'll bring her closer to the Chaotic Path, right? >>10805Per those rolls, Trump is unable to detect any duplicity. She seems to be telling the truth.
>>10805Y spoiler tho? Just asking
>>10807Left the spoiler on from the jumpscare in
>>10780Also, did any of those golem cores have user-viable parts? Could they be fashioned to craft a magical weapon?
>>10808>magical craftingAnd little else. Some of those sprockets, gears, and shafts are pure mythril, adamantite, and a variety of alloys. Aside from being literally gold-plated, those robots are crafting GOLD.
>>10810>Doesn't have the track skillFor that, you'd need an extraplanar bloodhound, with a powerful sense of smell, tracking skills, and an unquenchable thirst for Infernal blood
tl;dr, count me in>>10811Would Lenos craft Tracy something special for Tracy, if she offered him the cigarettes she looted from the body of your dead coworker?
>>10805*pushes away pony anyways*
\r
>>10812Are you talking about Barry?
"What do you have in mind? I'll answer afterward."
>>10812i have the detect jew spell.
>>10813Fail, and in his fail, he finds his arms unintendedly wrapped around Tracy.
[1d20 = 16]>>10805Roll anyways, because this bitch ain't right
>>10820>splitting hairsYou suspect there might be something amiss.
But then, you always think Tracy is up to something.
So, no dispositional change.
>>10819Is there any empathic bond? If there is, she can feel my suspicion and disgust
>>10821Yeah, that's pretty much exactly how that scene would have played out
>>10815>here goes nothingA wearable, extending, spiked-chain that functions as a melee saw-blade and can conduct psionic abilities
>>10822There would be if you took her as your mount.
>>10822She knows, but she doesn't seem to care for the most part.
>>10824Can you elaborate on what occurs when that happens?
>>10824Yes, yes, Ghost-rider is an abominable Chain Demon (what? its literally spelled out!). You want chain-demon skills then?
So, about tracys pregnancy...
How is tis gonna work
>>10828This tbh. is it gonna be half horse?
or was Trumpaladin secretly a pony all along... DUN DUN DUN!!!
>>10828To be determined. It was "her" idea, but it sounded like fun so I went with it. As far as raw gameplay is concerned, it allows Tracy extra bonuses if she feels life-threatened, and it gives OP the opportunity to fuck with Trump (and others) on occasion. So far, that's it.
>>10829Well, the typical gestation for a hoers is just under a year. So, you'll permit me to defer on that?
>>10826'
>Waited a while because I thought GM would take the initiative to explainShe gains the title, a few of her stats get buffed, you'll be able to summon her from anywhere within a mile through a vague empathetic link that allows for heightened communication. You'd also be able to use any item connected to her (i.e. the bow, the chain), and the same things go for spells and spell-like abilities (i.e. be able to use the Blackguard's evil magic)
Also, being able to infinitely share saving rolls with a Guardian Paramount would make you virtually invincible during mounted combat. There are other supernatural abilities a Cauchemar Nightmare can share with its rider, but those have nothing to do with the class.
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Paladin%27s_Mount>>10827YES!!!
>>10832All the same. Trumpaladin will have a court declare Tracy unfit to be the mother, then take legal custody of the child. The child may be disabled from the mother's contain or demon blood use, but not all evils can be stopped. One more set back in a long life of set backs, but nothing more
*cries at the thought of being able to teach his hopefully not part demon and not cocaine addicted son how to play football, an opportunity he thought he lost forever*
>>10833K. Sorry I missed the earlier post, I'm casual-browsing.
>>10834lol Try it!
>>10835Am I safe if I support your ship?
>>10835>insists on doing everything the hard waySo let be written, so let it be done
>>10840>her*His. The foal deserves a good family
>>10840Uhhhh, do I have magic for this shit?
>>10841Kek, too bad its got this one,....
>>10842If your character could somehow detect an extraplanar predatory hoers with stealth, lunging out of another dimension and crushing your ripcage.>>10843Tracy would make sure her foal lived a better life than hers.
>>10843We'll take him away from his evil mother, don't you worry. He shall play football and learn the family business with his father
>>10848Okay, now you're just trolling. I'm sure you know Trump would get eviscerated if he tried.
>>10845>Tracy would make sure her foal lived a better life than hers.Even if that meant giving up her child to a loving and wealthy family?
>>10834trump no take baby away!!
>>10853Agreed
That makes 3v1
Have fun taking the baby Trump
>>10854*4
"Its MY seal, I'll break the shit out of it he thinks,...."
>>10851NO!!! She would make sure her family was loving and wealthy, even if she had to destroy an entire country, and melt the brain of her idiot husband, to do so.>>10852I know. I was hoping for a chance to explore the planes.
>>10856She's off to a good start
>>10850She can detect that he is thinking about his child and how to protect him and give him the best life possible
>>10849Trumpaladin has been thinking about how to put down the problem dog ever since she took the blood. He knows he can't evade it forever. It will take time and preparation, but what needs be done, needs be done
>>10858O.O I almost wish I could make you take back those words
>>10856The fact that she'd be willing to do that is precisely why she can't be his mount, she can't be his wife, and ahe can't be his child's mother
>>10858>She can detect that he is thinking about his child and how to protect him and give him the best life possibleGood.
>>10860[Genocidal Sithlord hoers noises]
>>10861This isn't D&D, it's Mixed Nuts. >>10862Fair point
Is GM even dealing with our bullshit anymore?
>>10861I've seen far worse
>>10864Are you KIDDING? I must be a McDonald's cuz I'm lovin' it
>>10862The first step to becoming w paladin's mount is to earn his trust. Why is this overlooked, little pony?
>>10866Because trust requores commitment on both sides of the isle?
>>10867She's just not willing. Wants the job, but is unwilling to do the duties
>>10867I think this is going to be an ongoing "work in progress"
Can Tracy bully Ponimaru into writing her a Ninja scroll?
>>10870No, his skill-set is WAAAAAAY below metaphysics
hey gm can i go person to person(in port barry) gathering info on the jews?
>>10873Sure, but its pretty rudimentary. "Hella stingy", "Ill mannered", "Cheap", "Non-comformative",... you know the drill
>>10873"Infectious, I have a better proposition for you"
>>10873Tracy remembers her previous endeavor on Tracking-down the Jewish caravan's treasure.
>>10874ok which direction did they ride into town,the first time?
>>10875trump insult infernuis why?
Trumpaladin goes to Levos to ask a simple question
>>10878"When the rats were banished from Port Barry, they were alleged to have had a large stock of gold. It has not been found. Should this massive stock pile be found and delivered to the city, it would go a massive way towards rebuilding the damaged city"
>>10880[interested hoers noises]
>>10877"From the north. Always to or from the north"
>>10879>Levos>>10880"Sooo, are you asking for my help? Cuz I can guarantee that it won't all make it back to the city in THAT event."
>>10880me help find gold for port barry, but trump have to put up a statue commemorating thez.
>>10876Since the pony was last near Trump, Trump makes essentially the same request of Tracy.
"Tracy Cage, little pony, do you want to prove yourself? To show you are truly someone worthy of praise and admiration - worthy of love? I can tell you how to find it. Port Barry was devastated in the demon attack. Now, it's rumored that the Rats left a large pile of money around. Maybe they did, maybe they didn't, but no one is better suited to finding it all than you. Should you return it, love and respect for you can only grow."
He flashes his eyes at her
"You are a good pony, full of pride in your service, are you not? You want to prove it?"
Looks at her more intensely
"Want to prove it to me? Retrieve the missing gold, turn it over to the public coffers, and help Port Barry"
>>10882did they smell a particular way?
>>10883"I am certian the city will be willing to commemorate those who delivered the city from evil, and suffered in the process, once the funds become available"
>>10884Yeah, sure, I can do that." Tracy says, already fitting her armor.
"Do you have any other leads aside from going to the north? I already know that much."
>>10882Asked of Lenos later, after the events with Inferius and Tracy
"Thez had stones of law and of chaos. What happened to them?"
>>10888Trumpaladin is surprised by this reaction
"The Minotaur over there claims to be able to identify persons of the same cultural background as the rat people living in port Barry. Perhaps he can help extract information from them"
>>10891"I am sure they will be willing, once the funds become available"
>>10886Thats a good question, I'll have to think of an appropriately distinctive 'smell' for (((them))).
>>10890"A tickle in my throat, pay me no mind." Lenos says entirely unconvincingly.
>>10888"Do you expect to have to leave the city by any massive distance. Actually, let me ask you flat out. Do you believe you will have to travel much more than a mile north of the northern gate?"
>>10894"Several miles, it's actually quite a bit even before the path spits." *is fitting hoers shoes*
>>10893Trumpaladin fondly remembers the smell of bagels and gently woven kippahs from his time in New York City
>>10893*makes internal note to swipe treasure to pay Lenos for the weapon*
OP is veritably cackling at the prospects
>>10895"Do you think you might want to report the spot, then have an oxen team deliver the gold to port Barry?"
pauses for a moment, then says "I am trusting you with this, and so is Port Barry. It is very important that
all of the gold is accounted for"
>>10899"Inferius, how good are you at counting?"
>>10901me can count to 6 million.
"Can we go already?!" Tracy asks annoyed, knowing how long the trip will take with the bull weighing her down.
GM, please fast forward the journey.
>>10902"Excellent. Please prepare an account of what is found."
He thinks about making another suggestion, but then declines.
"Thez had a vast horde of Gold, gems, and other valuables here in the pyramid. She allowed us to make use of it - all of it - because she knew we would help the cause of Good and the citizenry of Port Barry with it. She even forwent her use of small gems for jewelry because of it. And you know how much she loved her jewelry, not that she ever needed it. And here, the money is not ours. It rightfully belongs to the citizenry of Port Barry, whom we are trustees over. If it can be delivered in its entirety here, it would go a long way to helping. I believe, even if I am too ignorant to say for sure, that love of country is the highest form of love for Hitler and Rockwell. They are our country now. Do Rockwell proud."
>>10904"Now hold your horses. Can you repeat back to me what your mission is?"
>>10905A journey is never as important as the destination, little pony
>>10904"Actually, I must second guess myself here. Are you certain you are needed on this quest? I think the bull has it handled"
>>10906>all of itYes of course, Thez would never abscond with a portion of it and sequester it, that would be 'bad'.
>>10909"You WILL make Thez proud. Just make sure every penny makes it back here and away from wherever those Jew rats stored it. That money will go to glorifying Thez, both in the statue of her, and in the glorious new skyline of Port Barry that she always wanted to see"
>>10911"She's useful, I am certain of that. Be sure that she too, makes Thez - and Rockwell and Hitler - proud. Hell, make her make me proud, if that means anything to her"
Inferius is released
