This thread begins the next segment of the now blatantly obvious Game threads. known to some faggots as the 'gay bath house'
3 weeks have passed in game time, and Port Barry is largely rebuilt and restructured, though evidence of previous battles are still observable in the architecture, walls, etc.
The people have grown stronger, emboldened by the party as their benefactors, and have taken to Football and the message thereof with great zeal.
Any players wishing to join need simply announce themselves and will be beaten included at the earliest ability.

>>13197Then again, Ponimaru would become a monster upon evolution, and would no longer be as easily controlled with the Handle Animal skill. Tracy should train him first, level herself up as Blackguard to make him her fiendish servant, and then transform him.
>>13200Perhaps, or just horse even, like Ponimaru. The name for the Assassin cult was going to be the Four Horses guild (as an allusion to the four horses of apocalypse, or the four mares of Diomedes; it's Coat of Arms being a blood-red clover, to symbolize the 404 mark of 4chan). It was going to be a regular guild, but I just remembered that Tracy, as an awakened horse, can speak horse: this turns every horse in The Game into a potential NPC. I could just have Tracy enslave/recruit and train other horses in the game, and transform them with her blood, and a magic ritual if need be. Ponimaru could be her first as Tracy's fiendish servant: if he resists, Tracy can just break him like a horse, Intimidate him, or just straight-up melt his brain.
>>13201Of course, Trollestia might get in her way, and that could create complications...
Challenge accepted.
>>13203that bitch won't let me fuck her, so go aheadYou know how unicorns are supposed to be tied to reality or some bullshit that makes them insanely powerful? Trump just might have a unicorn Tracy can break and train. Assuming she wouldn't rather be a fashion designer, or can do both.
>>13204Not sure if Unicorns, being magical beasts, are so easily trained, but it's an idea.
I actually intended for this to be sort-of a semi-secret project for Tracy to do herself, but sure, whatever (since Trumpaladin can't speak horse, it would just look like Tracy chatting with horses at first). It's not exactly the kind of thing a Paladin would be associated with though, but I don't think there's be any problems unless he does any needless prying.
>>13209Idk, I'm new to this. Look it up.
The thing regenerates at such a rate that nothing can do lethal damage on it. You have to bring up non-lethal damage to a massive extent, and then use some kind of spell to keep it dead.
The real issue is the faggot-nerd controlling it: better to take out the nerd first, and then redirect the rampaging beast to an unpopulated area, where it could be killed with an army and planned systemic attacks/traps.
>>13209>Modes of attackCrushing, slashing, charging, and swallowing whole, mostly.
It's a giant monster.
>>13210That's just fine, all I want to do is to soften or distract it. As for the nerd - how could you possibly get him to dismount so you're not facing both at the same time? I would think there have to be ways to trick him into a location where he can't bring the thing. Alternatively, fire enough Ballista bolts at him that he can't dodge while staying on the creature, then attack him separately.
>>13211Sounds like it may well be flank-able in the way I want
>>13212It's slow, but it can also charge at insanely high speed once every few rounds. Also, it's got a thick armored carapace that can't be pierced easily.
It's not easy to kill at all, especially not if a sorcerer buffed it.
>>13212>DismountHe might not be riding it at all, could just be controlling it. Better to try to catch him while he's in his tower reading his comic books.
>>13213I think I know how to limit its possible counter-attacks while allowing a maximum of possible ranged attacks
>>13214>Better to try to catch him while he's in his tower reading his comic booksI'm less confident about the ability to actually do this, but okay
>>13213What I mean to say is that NPCs can be spaced and protected in a such a way as to be beyond the frightful presence of the Terrasque, and force the terrasque to move and use an entire turn to attack each individual NPC, while each NPC does either 1d8 or 1d10 from Longbow or Crossbow damage. Possibly the same with the Magician himself, although he can cast spells that make him much more dangerous to the NPCs and better able to protect himself
>>13216>NPCs can be spaced...I believe you're overestimating the authority and leadership abilities of your character again...
>>13217How so? He's got a 17 in Charisma and a hell of a lot of lead up
>>13218Forgot I flagged this IP.
What I mean is that it is established he has some respect as a leader, even if he is not an actual civilian authority figure.
But in any case, if NPCs need persuading, it's not like I'm unwilling to do the coaxing
>>13218Good point.
Could work if he took some epic leadership feats.
>>13219Try to focus on the immediate situation at hand first though. Things will change.
>>13190dude we are no were close to being able to beat the terrasque.
>>13201i actually like this idea.
>>13220Aww, did that epic speech I wrote after defeating Soros the first time not count? What can I do?
Also, REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! Tarrasques are immune to piercing damage. I'll find a way around that - enchanted projectiles? Explosive projectiles? GM fiat for mixed Nuts? Something.
Besides that, Tarrasques have such an insane Armor Class that it would take a modifier of I think +6 in order for even a 20 to land, although a 20 automatically lands. I think if we can say that the trained crusaders, for instance, started out with level 1 fighter status and ten dexterity points (they should receive these stats by virtue of nothing else than being human) then leveled up to 2 from the fight with the demons, could perhaps be said to have gained enough experience from intense training over three weeks (It'll be 4 by then at least, perhaps more) to have leveled up a class 3 fighter, AND they have Archery as their fighting style, then they should have a +8 modifier, meaning they beat the Tarrasque's Armour class if an 17 or higher is rolled. So if we have 40 level three fighters who are within range, not dead, and not frightened (that may be optimistic) we can expect on average 8 to hit per turn with 1d8 damage, so something like 32 damage per turn on average. I don't know how many pirates there are or their levels, but they must have higher levels
>>13221Oh I'm sure as hell not done with the pirates. I have an offer planned for them.
>>13222Oh I know, but if he's planning for it, so am I
\r
>>13223Good. Although I do regret announcing it before hand...
>>13209a bard could buff a large group of npcs.
>>13213it can also jump real good.
>>13214we could deceive the nerd somehow.
>>13226We don't have a bard though...
>>13230we could buy ones servervices.
>>13190Well if you want it to occur there, you may need to lure him. He'll be looking for you anyway, so that shouldn't be too hard.
>>1319210
>>13201Please don't, Ponimaru is semi-necessary
>>13213U can't buff it, its carapace renders it almost immune to magic.
>>13224>thinking damage reduction is per roundTry again, you'd have to do more than 20 points of damage
per hit, on top of its crazy regeneration.
>>13233Yep. That's why getting eated is the best strategy, but you have to be able to survive that shit.
Also, I do not recommend involving civilians. Just no. Also realize that before worrying about the T, there's a very angry pirate who will need merc'd, as well as his cadre.
>>13232B-b-but I wanted to make him part of my assassin cult..!
>>13236Thats fine, just don't go trying to mind control him or anything, I need him to perform errands for Ben.
>>13237Can I still train him and/or intimidate him?
>>13238Both. He's only level 3 monk, but he's also got Thez' belt so he hits like a 8lvl.
>>13239How big of a roll do I need to pickpocket the belt?
>lightning hits summer house irl right after I fucking typed that
Okay, time to stop being a Jew....
>>13243>picAre there other horses I can turn into monsters?
>>13243your control of your psionics impresses me.
>>13246Maybe, I'll have to do some reading
>doesn't dare make an arbitrary decision like that around Tracy, not again >>13249If they're already here, they're in the clear!
>>13250What we're not going to do is reverse assimilate natives, that I can tell you
>>13249Trick on you; They're not outsiders if they're
born here.
I just want to state for the record, that these are the two funniest posts in this thread for me
>>12849 >>12708>>13254That's her cutie mark, but yes.
>>13257IK, but every time I look at it I feel like Nic Cage is trying to control my mind.
>>12422>l, "Defended it,"I misread this as "I built this town, now you defend it," a challenge to battle, when I read this from my phone
>>12559>"It's Tracy"I wish I had him silently say "oh, so that's her name"
>"I'm engaged."I really wish I had my charcter respond with shock "To who??"
>>12599I still don't understand if she has this reaction because Trump worded the request in a wink-wink way, because he mentioned the unicorn, or because that's her normal reaction to requests by Trump
>>12610GM, is the Tower within bombardment range of ship cannons? Also, can we make cannons or late medieval bombards?
>>12621>Korak can be trusted to suit his own means - and that of the party if in mutual venture - his allegience is entirely to himself and his piratesFINALLY. A man I can trust
>>12631This actually is cute
>>12635I wonder if anyone realized what I was trying to imply. I think I was too subtle
>>12649Tourcil didn't get it
>>13261>I wish I had him silently say "oh, so that's her name">I really wish I had my charcter respond with shock "To who??"It's really much better that you didn't, for everyone really.
>>13263are we going to end up having a psionic duel?
>>13264>Duel>with a roguelol no. I'll just gut you in your sleep.
>>13266>>13264I still feel like investing in one class yields the highest rewards, but you do what you want
>>13267Yeah... The class I wanted most was Assassin, but Tracy still doesn't qualify...
>>13269
>but it seems pretty clear Tracy's faggot was operating under the assumption that the wizard was the ticket to the assassin's prestige class.
First of all, it's not a wizard; it's a sorcerer. Second of all, no. I did think investigating the town where he lived could help advance the plot though, maybe even yielding some info/loot.
>>13269
>I had Trump actually physically stop Tracy from talking. That's kind of unfair competition
>ended fucking Tracy out doing what her faggot wanted that night, which I think is hilarious.
Yeah, I noticed that too...
>>13270>He didn't enjoy it as muchAww, I was hoping for company in my feelings
>>13272Well, I could clearly see your feelings, I was just hoping to kill something that night...
What's done is done though.
>prepares to read what happened while i was gone
>>13230B-but Troc was doing some shit in being a bard
>>13275True, you have provided music and memes to boost morale.
>>13275boost my morale post le rare meme.
Were the ants supposed to be Formians? If so, that makes me wonder how their hive was established on this plane, and what the Queen said to The about The Law.
>>13279It's an interesting thought to chew on.
>>13281Well, Formians are extraplanar creatures. The Hive's residents may be native, but the queen herself may have been an outsider.
It was a while ago, so I don't remember, but I wonder just what the queen was doing with Thez's scroll again (it's been a while... Sorry). Anyway, there's clearly been an intervention theme among bosses here so far.
>>13282>intervention theme among bosses hereKorak explained that pretty much the entire population of the planet are some sort of migrants or non-indigenous
>>13284What exactly was that scroll? At the time I thought it was some sort of contract she had made
>>13285I totally forgot, desu...
Whatever it was, she was willing to get turned to paste twice to retrieve it.
I wonder whatever happened to that potato after The healed him.. he probably just died offscreen.
I'll bake this afternoon and answer these questions then
>>13264>>13265Also, the characters would have to have a motivation to do it.
>>13296>>13297But I want to know if I can have both scoops of ice cream...
I just got an idea I'm almost embarrassed I did not get before
>>13293For a murder, yes. For a duel, no, much more complicated.
>>13298Sorry, I'm working late shift tomorrow so I'll have time for baking
>>13302Aww...
By the way, Unicorns are supposed to be lawful good, right? So why was she okay with robbery and capital murder?
>>13303Fuck, I failed to specify "Trollestia"
>>13301Eh, we can make it work
>>13303According to the wiki, Unicorns are always Chaotic Good.
>>13297>>13296>>13302RIP in peace GM
I'm looking forward to some fresh out of the oven bread tomorrow
>>13306Whoops. I read the description for Celestial Charger (what she is).
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Celestial_ChargerHer motivations we're pretty clear from the beginning though.
>>13306Also that looks like a different edition from what GM is basing his off of.
>>13307>tomorrow>>13308>celestial chargerIt made sense to me, and that's the correct creature
