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.

>>11341That's what GM has been getting at.
The Jewelry shop was supposed to be the money farm. He hinted at that a couple weeks ago.
>>11342Idk, people living in his tower, asking him to make shit, and depending on his abilities, without caring to give him a cut of the treasure to work with.
>>11345The only mention of the jewelry shop came last week. And while Tourcil may be at risk from explosion, no one else asks Lenos to craft things
>>11345he loves making shit, the gm said thats what he oes without wanting something in return.
>>11347Yeah, I got that much. He wants materials to tinker with.
>>11346It was hinted weeks earlier. At the same time the Jews' shekel stash was hinted at.
>>113491. What are you talking about?
2. You could have spoken at any time
3. Literally anyone could have said something at some point
>>11348but he dosent charge for an item though.
>>11350Its true, Thez was excited at the prospect of the Football stadium,... but not the Casino, or the Steakhouse, or,... and as time went on and Trump immediately got jewy-eyed anytime a resource was even hinted at or suggested, her enthusiasm diminished. So, at THAT time, she took possession of what ducats she could, literally coughed up some of her own, and made a deal with the artisan (who shall remain nameless to avoid REEEEing), as well as the jeweler. Nothing was mentioned 'cuz Trump had proven that he could not be trusted with resources.
>>11346>Thinking the Crystal converted into a Trump Tower by itself>>11351Yeah, brownies normally work without pay. They don't take kindly to being treated as unappreciated NPCs though.
>>11350>What are you talking about?I'm talking about the Time Infernius went to the out-of-stock jewelry shop, and Tracy sniffed around while she was looking for hints to where the Jews were hiding their treasure.
The guy was going to change the shop, but then Thez came in with a bag of amazing items, talking about a certain artisan who wanted to have his crafts gain recognition in the trade.
>>11352This, desu.
That eminent domain this wasn't exactly the coolest move either... >>11352>CasinoThe casino was nothing more than a pretext to try to stop Inferius from gebociding part of the town's population. It was never built not mentioned outside of one occasion
>steakhouseA pretext to thoroughly search the old Jew buildings for the missing treasure, cheap because of existing buildings, finance was never mentioned, and also could have brought profits (which, you know, could cover loans made to buy it. As in never using the party's funds). It was also never completed
>>11353>I'm talking about the Time Infernius went to the out-of-stock jewelry shop, and Tracy sniffed around while she was looking for hints to where the Jews were hiding their treasure.>The guy was going to change the shop, but then Thez came in with a bag of amazing items, talking about a certain artisan who wanted to have his crafts gain recognition in the trade.what the actual fuck are you talking about? I don't remember this at all. I cannot read every single one of the literally 10,000+ RP posts that are made as a part of this game, and I cannot know everything that happens while I am in school, at work, driving halfway across the state, or flying to fucking Washington DC and New York for interviews. More to the point, why the hell would my character know everything that happened to people miles away and that he was never told about. He cannot be omniscient and should not be
>eminent domainFirst off, that's a joke. Second, it didn't happen because the buildings were abandoned. Thirdly, it was against Jew buildings that were unused. Forgive me for making use of available resources
\r
Alright, I'm done Trump's brow-beating. He can have all the money he needs for whatever project,... but he has to go through the Jeweler. ^_^
How many levels does Tracy have as Wilder?
>>11355I have the character levels for contracting building renovation. And that's all that is needed
>>11356Well, I was going to have Tracy tell you about it, but I had to account for the fact that she was still salty from getting cucked that morning. My plan was to have her walk up the road alone to sort herself out, find the treasure, come back, and then tell you about everything
(I figured you would've read it by then though).
>>11360Well, I'm not responsible for your saltiness, I am not sure if I am the one who cucked you, and I certainly can't know what isn't told to my character and didn't happen near him
>>11361>your saltinessHer saltiness*
I didn't expect it to take this long though.
>>11360I really don't know when in the story this is supposed to have happened
>>11363Some time right before you converted that shop into a steak house, while Tracy only just started looking for clues.
>>11361She's talking about you riding the Copper mare home that one time.
So to summarize, a bunch of faggots just had a shit-fit, while nothing worth mentioning happened between the characters.
Classic D&D
>>11365No, Tracy already took care of that. I'm pretty sure that happened the same day Fae appeared in the tower: Tracy was deeply upset.
>>11365That happened over a month ago, and weeks before
>>11364In any event, if hints are going to be super-duper subtle, they need to occur more than once ever, and need to actually be communicated to both players and characters.
>>11368>if hints are going to be super-duper subtle, they need to occur more than once everThis.
>need to actually be communicated to both players and charactersTry buttering up your waifu; She has all the information-gathering skills.
>>11368It shall be so. I apologize for having assumed and/or taken anything for granted.
>>11366>a bunch of faghots just had a shit fit fitIt's ongoing, and really more of two separate consecutive shit-fits, but yeah, that's what happened
>>11372I'm not saying "Its the guy at the shop!", I'm saying that he was in an awful hurry to get rid of her.
Yes, intuition.
Not that far, no. A couple miles is all.
>wilderI'm putting the limit at 3
>>11369>Try buttering up your waifu; She has all the informationIf you are talking about Tracy, she could find it, but she'd steal a large portion for private use and then lie about the total size of the find. There's not really any way to discourage her from doing this either - when I am tried to but her up by appealing to her (non-existent) sense of duty to Port Barry or love for Trumpaladin all I got was "can we leave already?" indicating it didn't do anything. There is no buttering her up. If you leave money laying out, she steals it and lies about it when confronted, and she cannot be encouraged to do otherwise. I did think about having her find it, and there after finding where she hid it and taking it, but thars difficult. So I guess having Inferius accompany her and hopefully limiting the amount she could steal was the best available option, which is basically what I went with.
>>11375It's all for a public use, and every character is aware of the money, and has the chance to say something. Taking cores for a wedding and then lying about it is different from dedicating part of a large treasure for a library in Port Barry
[5d20 = 34]>>11373>3Fine by me
Is it really worth it for me to go all the way back there? I'll just go anyway.
*returns to shop*
*approaches building in stealth*
*listens furtively by window*
Search (shop interior)+ Spot (any entity inside) + another Spot (read lips) + Listen + Scent
>>11374She's only stolen once: the golem parts as they fell to the ground.
Idk if it was clear at the time, but I implied a few times before and after that she was hiding shit out of spite, because she was jealous and wanted attention.
>>11377>1337 paliNoted, but I'm not going to launch into it at the moment
[1d20 = 4]>>11377Forgot Sense Motive (most important)
>>11382If you're going to throw out 5 skill checks in a row,... have you ever thought of establishing your skills?
>>11377Tracy's motives are unknown. She used to be more clingy and jealous, but as timr passes her actions have made less and less sense. Basically it's a case of "I do not know why she is doing any of this, but what she's doing is evil, the purpose is probably evil, and I fully believe she'd do it again."
Miscommunication and misunderstanding helps drive plot, so no need to clear anything at all up.
>>11383>>11380WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE CHARACTERS
>>11387Don't worry, everyone will be back at the tower before you know it. These are all "yet to happen" actions.
>>11386I mean I've been basing skill rolls off of a simple 20, which doesn't allow for modifiers or differences in degree of skill required.
Let me give you an example. A masterwork lock has a difficulty of 25, meaning the player would need 6 skill points in lockpicking in order to defeat it with anything more than a 20 (and in this case, a 19). Not knowing the iterated skills makes it far more difficult for me to explain the degree of how and why and what WRT situations, which is also why Tracy didn't sense anything from the shopkeeper in the first place.
>>11387Trump went back to Port Barry, leaving Tracy and Infernius at the crossroads to bring back the treasure. Then Tracy had an 'intuitive thought' (GM's hint) to track back a few miles and try to extract information from the shopkeeper on the road.
Torcuil is about to get a lecture from Lenos on how to into magic.
Sad Alex is standing frozen somewhere until his faggot returns, probably getting >raped by passing strangers.
>>11388Are you going to teleport us back when where halfway to finding the treasure? >>11388Trumpaladin stares out the window to the sea from his office in Crystal Trump Tower. He wonders if he could take a ship and a small crew, and sail far away from his problems
