Okay
>Trump
You need to put in more effort. Help Tracy with her problems, keep her from violent outbursts. Bring her along on new activities, find something you two can do together.
Be her balancing force.
>Tracy
Be honest.
Trump can't be a balancing force if the scales have been tampered with.
I believe in you both, and I think it could work
>le fin
>teleports them back
"Well, you see.. After seeing that copper-butted clydesdale riding off with my husband.. I was really beside myself. I went to the stables to get a piece of her (literally), and made a bit of a scene. One thing led to another, and things got kind of messy.
I'm REALLY tired
Lets do a quick recap.
In the all 20's period Trollestia was stolen back, a barmaid was fucked, and Trump broke Torcuil's staff.
The counseling session(?) was quite involved, and I think progress was made. IDFK
Trump, allow me to suggest that you would make an excellent Blackguard.
Everyone wakes with a start in their respective lodging situations. Everything from last night was real, tangible, and occurred. It also occurred in a dream, because breaking Torcuil's staff would have either killed everyone or sent them to a random place in the outer realms.
>The character(s) breaking the staff have a 50% chance of traveling to another plane of existence, but if they do not, the explosive release of the spell's energy destroys them.
So then, the players have a choice here. Was it a dream, or shall we get jiggy?
>>11732I think we made progress?
>>11733>sweatsI'll take one for the team
I don't steal Trollestia, but my weapons are fine
So would the consuling have still happened?
>>11735Oh I don't know, a trip to the outer planes could be exciting. I've got plenty of SRD resources for that, and its an area I've already thoroughly perused. ^_^
>>11736Trip to the outer planes sound like fun.
>>11713"I.. I can try to be a good girl for you, Flashy.. if you'll help me through it.."
>>11733>Everyone wakes with a start in their respective lodging situations.So much for the road trip....
Tracy gets up and grinds her Concentration, accuracy and Weapons Proficiency by practicing throwing her kunai.
She also goes down to the crafting room and adds some steel cord to her bag, along with some other wire and a bit of chain. In the process, she makes another rope-dart.
While we're at it, she looks up alchemy in the library and crafts some low-power, throw-able explosives. She then crafts some potent, poisonous blade oils, and sets a few ambiguous potions and elixirs on simmer.
After keening her edges for the six-gorillionth time, she heads off to the stables, taking with her a book about child care. She makes herself comfortable in the hay and tries to get a hold of the book and relax.
>>11732No Goddamn it, if Tourcil isn't fighting and Inferius isn't fighting, then the 20 goes towards re-stealing Trollestia
>>11742And... Nothing has changed
>>11743Can we still reroll those 20's?
>>11744Just maintenance.
What changes were you anticipating?
>>11741"No little pony, you do not understand. What you do, and who you are, is entirely within your out volition. It is a power that you alone possess, that no one can take from you, and that you cannot delegate onto someone else. Whether you lie, cheat, steal - that your choice and your choice alone. If everything else were taken from you, that power would still be yours. I cannot help you or harm you"
>>11745*steals pony*
You're coming to Football practice
>>11732??? The Hell??? What did I do?
>>11746"If I were honest about myself with you.. would you be able to forgive me, Flashy?"
>>11747['omc, he's carrying me' hoers noises]
"Oh, okay.. Just be careful not to hurt our foal."
(it's irrelevant, but can horses do rigorous work while pregnant?
She's only a week in.)>>11748>Gives Dixie Jew flag>'What did I do?'Also, GM, can we please get a hitman quest for Tracy? I
really want that Assasin class.
>>11748Breaking a staff of power is called a 'retributive strike'. There are only 2 staves that have this function, and Torcuil's was one of them. Congratulations! In one outcome everyone is a grease-spot, in another they're in another plane, or in a third I have provided that was all a vivid dream.
>>11749Yes, yes, ALL will be revealed this afternoon. I haven't been ignoring ANYPONY'S requests throughout the week
>>11749"If and only if you go and sin no more"
>wants to go on a hitmans quest within a couple hours of posting*sighs*
>>11734>>11735>>11733Last night ended far too early. There should have been a full exploration of what happened with the horses and the fires and so forth, and there should have been explicit limits/guidelines placed on Tracy. Like she has to play by paladin rules or she's under threat of losing the child if she has three strikes. Some sort of probation or conditions. If that isn't accomplished, it's just a waste of time and a wasted opportunity, and we're right back to where we started
>>11750Because I was under the assumption he intended to use it against me. Then no fight happened.
>>11752Don't worry, I've structured it so she CAN complete the quest WITHOUT offending Trump's sensibilities.
So far, I have Tracy inquiring amongst the ants and building a sekret lair, while also researching/inquiring subtly of an assassin's guild.
I have Infernius learning forging from Lenos.
I have Trump building things, and learning how to use Sugoito.
I forget what Torcuil is doing at the moment ('moment" being a rhetorical use and not time specific).
Does anyone have any developments or what-not they would like to 'have happened'?
>>11756Oh yes, Torcuil is learning about Mystic Theurgy
The counseling/therapy bit still happened, I'm just figuring where to put it in the sequence of events (probably near the end). I'm still undecided whether to send everyone off into another plane at some point.
>>11758Is that in reference to last night, or is it something I missed?
>>11758Torcuil, take the language books and write your name in Draconic to prove literacy.
It'll be worth it.
No really, why the Blackguard comment?
>>11763Because in spite of their reputation, Blackguards are not bad. Steel Brightblade from the Dragon's Lance series is a perfect example, a warrior of unquestionable integrity, honor, dignity, loyalty, etc. who happens to fight for an evil goddess. They're basically nihilistic paladins, and they can trade pali levels for BG levels.
>>11765Correct.
The meme wizard is literate in Draconic.
You might be able to take a prestige class from it later on, if I'm not mistaken.
>>11766Does speaking some french give me a surrender bonus?
>>11767Also a bonus when crafting white flags
>>11764Now I know you didn't just imply the great DJT is an evil God. Although if we could, I'd like to restructure the devotion to where DJT is a sort of patron saint/taken minor god, but technically speaking the God to which he does service is the goddess Columbia. I don't know how patron gods work, so I don't know.
>nihilisticProtecting your native country from being overrun by foreign hordes is far from nihilistic
>*is cooking potions*
What are the limitations to what Tracy can cook in the tower at this point?
>>11770Pardon me, I was going for a very abbreviated qualifier. A 100% paladin would be a peacekeeper and would fight for established order, whereas Trump is asserting Football unto those who have their own order but do not have Football.
>>11771With the proper time and research, not many. You've got Lenos on hand to advise, Torcuil also, and a full shelf of top-rate books for reference.
BTW, anyone wanna give me an idea how they're distributing and/or re-distributing their experience?
>>11773Uhhh
Wisdom and dextarity
What else would be good for a mage?
>prepares scottish tea >>11772>respecting established order rather than imposing your own concept of order upon itI am spreading democracy and ideals of Liberty.
https://youtu.be/hJyhqlkaHB0 >>11771By the way GM, is there any way I can cast PATRIOT ACT on "Mrs. Sentry" so I know when she's up to no good?
>>11776>The last four digits are 1776Checked
*cries single tear of high fructose corn syrup*
>>11772Well, she did grow up around potion-mongering ziggers, and she wants to practice cooking so...
*resists the urge to say "All of them*Lets start with:
>Prenatal vitamins>Conceal alignment>Invisibility>Elixer of Love>Keen Edge Oil>Greater Magic Weapon>Good Hope>Nondetection>Rage>Neutralize poison >Heroism>Haste>Gaseous Form>Spider climb>Misdirection>Magic vestment>Remove disease>Remove Curse>Remove Kebab>Displacement>Cure Serious Wounds>Regeneration>Bull's Strength>Protection from Arrow>Undetectable alignment... This feels pretty broken, desu...
Also, couldn't it be bullshit for her to use any of these while pregnant?
