>>12563
Tracy would've also figured this out with a Sense motive check.
Also, she can recognize another rapist when she sees one.

>>12564
Uh... Did you do a sense motive check?

>>12557
"Well, I suppose from what Sechs is tellin me that we'll probably hear from him before too long. He doesn't take kindly to disrespect. Port Barry has (otherwise) always been on time and prompt with its tributes, but lacking sufficient resources it,..." he trails off as the jeweler runs up and whispers in his ear. "That'll do pig. Well, it seems that we're covered on the tribute, but he'll still be wantin' to hear from him. That leaves us with a few options. The first is to wait and let him come to us. I don't like that idea, cuz he usually likes to kill scores of people when he comes. The other options is to venture to him, which is equally risky.
>>12559
"A pleasure to meet you Ms. Tracy. And may I ask who the lucky benefactor of your engagement might be? Ye're quite the 'lady', if ye don't mind me sayin'"
>>12561
"Ye can see her, sure. She's in the stables outside the port. As for purchase, we'll table that 'till later."
Motive = money and survival

*hear from us

>>12566
*mood lifts at the mention of her engagement*
"Why, this handsome hunk right here." She says, gesturing to the Paladin carrying her

I'm gonna just call the Jeweler Ben. Get it? Ben, as in Ben Shapiro? He's a Jew-eler? Its funny!

>>12568
"Well now, that explains why he'd be carryin' ye. It doesn't explain all that Trixie nonsense, but I've pulled a few cons in the past so I get what ye were goin' with. I certainly wouldn't go around parading "This Pony will be my wife", I mean who knows what people would say. Pretty though,...."

>>12571
*blushes, rubbing her cheek against the Paladin's abdomen*

i gotta go for about an hour ill be lurking on mobile.

[1d20 = 11]
>>12566
"Payment? That's s funny way of looking at it... Ah never mind, I'll deal with that later. I don't want him to have home field advantage and I'd like to set up an ambush. But I also don't want collateral damage. I guess we'll evacuate the town..."
>>12568
*fear at this suggestion*
Check to see if man would refuse to allow Trump to marry the unicorn if he things he is engaged already

>>12574
He's a slave-rapist. He does not care about such disinctions, but also (weirdly) has a sense of honor when it comes to righteous folk.
"Speaking of home field - on two levels - if ye're wantin to lay a trap for him, that there stadium ye made is perfect, since he'd readily port there cuz the Terrasque would fit. Also, I'm wantin' to hear more about this here Football ye keep mentioning. Its got the whole town fixated, and I'm wantin' to know more"
Also aside, the city has gained ~10k in gold and resources from the pirates. This is not 'take as you need', but is available.

[1d20 = 3]
>>12572
I can't understand that statement
Roll to find out "does he believe her"

>>12576
>What did she mean by this?
[happy engaged pony noises]

Yeah, I need clarification too

>>12578
Clarification for what?

>>12579
The 'doesn't believe' followed by 'what did she mean'

[1d20 = 9]
>>12575
Go on hour long spiel about football, and take him to USFL headquarters if he can be taken. Show him the super bowl video if possible

Also, when possible, begin whatever contract negotiation is necessary to acquire a portion of that 10,000 (or is in the public treasury?) Trump wants it to but the unicorn, which he thinks is a dowry

>>12580
I misinterpreted his comment
Idk what he was trying to roll though.

>>12580
Does the pirate believe Tracy when she claims Trump is engaged to her

>>12582
Uh, insight? I guess

>>12583
It hasn't been further established, but he's never seen a pony take a direct sneak attack, shrug it off, and then warp through the pier. His mind is not made up as to 'what is', but he's not discounting anything atm.
>>12581
"Oh now lad, ye're pretty green ta think ye can buy me own pony with me own monies," he laughs at the thought.

>>12585
Does Trump have any private funds all to himself? I want to figure out if he can buy the unicorn without selling Tracy's bitch or any of the buildings in Port Barry/ships in the harbor

>>12585
>He still hasn't answered the question
"... So, where does this 'Emerpor' nerd live?"

>>12587
Also this

After a bit more banter, revelry, and general to-do Korak says to Trump (assuming its mentioned). "Well lad, I can see ye're not a bunch of chumps. Maybe ye CAN upend the emperor, and there are scores of cities that'd be glad to see him gone, this one notwithstanding. I'll lend ye the help and support I can, but I also have to tend to my people. I'll not tolerate any misfortune befallin' them, as they're the main source of me finances!" he laughs boisterously at is.
"Tell ye what. If you can figure a way to trap and bind the emperor, and ye can find a way to fight off his beast, I'll deliver what I can to your aid. Its been a very long time since I've seen the likes of you, and I like what I'm seein'," he concludes, emptying his flagon.
"Now, which one of ye lovelies wants te escort me to the whorehouse!" and s small number of cheers, as well as a couple right bitches take his sides in an elbowed escort position.

>>12589
Go to the whorehouse, and get a woman to try to figure out how to get money - better, get the unicorn out if him.

>>12587
"But me did, weren't ye listening? Ah said he lives to the north, miles past Cardashil, in a wrecked city of wealthies who spend all FRIIGGIN' day worshippin' his lanky arse. A pity what happened to Thez, she'd have been a right thorn in HIS ass. Oh well, life goes on right?"

>>12590
"Make it worth his while, but don't give on that you're interested. The more he knows the merch is valuable, the higher the price."

>>12590
*follows, with an unchanging, static expression*

>>12592
Oh fuck, that's a good point

*shames self for forgetting something that obvious*

Also, why is that bastard avoiding watching the Super Bowl recording. Reeeee!

>>12594
Cuz u showed him. It was most impressive. He likes this idea of "Broncos"

>>12593
>follows
"Tracy, I'm not asking you to swindle this guy, but should this guy be made to part with his pistols, the unicorn, or whatever other items of great value he has, for the cost of the horses we have in the stables, or a few sheckles, my love for and appreciation of you could only grow"

>>12595
Praise American

Also GM, seriously, did he come in with more than one ship? Does he want to purchase a ship? What other valuable things does he have or want?

>>12596
>trying to rob a thief of exceptional level
Good luck with THAT, you saw how quick he spotted Tracy!

>>12596
*eerie static expression glitches like a television screen before returning to normal*
"........... Yes, Flashy."

>>12597
From the conversations he seems concerned about only a few things. 1. The ability to convert ill-gotten gains into wealth. 2. The port (which is its self a reflection of #1). 3. Wealth and luxury, which is attainable only (currently) through the 1st two.

>>12600
>Typical dwarf
Fucking subterranean kikes.

>>12601
Actually, this dwarf is not enthusiastic about caverns and dungeons.

>>12598
Watch Tracy lose Ponimaru without gaining anything, Kek
>>12599
For the first time ever, Trump looks jealous.
"Just don't let him actually touch you in that way, however much you have to tease him"

>>12600
>this guy is basically Trump
He simply must see the high class housing, the high class diving, the high class everything at Trump Tower

>>12602
Still a dwarf.
I get it though. Figured he was one of those above-ground types.

>>12602
What about apartments in Towers?

"So!" at one point Korak abbreviates the conversation. "If ye want to lure the emperor, the stadium is the place to do it. If ye're wanting to invade his home turf, I can provide the means (especially since the tribute is overdue). If YE lot can take him out, I'll owe ye, and I'll pay it back however ye want. He's the only one who was standing in the way of the development of the port, and with him gone the people can help the sailors, the sailors help the people, everybody wins. That is the idea that Port Barry was founded on, "Everybody wins"

>>12606
*ears perk*
"...What means do you speak of?"

>>12603
He would be most impressed, and yes, he's dark-side Trump

>>12606
"Can you tell me more about this "means" to invade his territory?

to ask a different question
"You travel by sea often? Any chance you like to look at our clippers? Copper hulled, immune to seaworms and barnacles that infect both tropical and temperate waters. The fastest ships in the sea"

>>12607
Gets a glint in his eye as Tracy addresses him.
"Well now, I've got a mighty ship that can take ye where ye need to go. I see ye've got the tower up and running, but 2 flanks are better than 1 amirite?" he guffaws.
"But yeh, since he'll be lookin to hear from the Port, its possible we might sneak you lot in. Its MUCH more dangerous than bating him here, but he might lower his guard. Its been hundreds of years since anyone challenged him, so I reckon he's probably gotten a wee bit lazy"

>>12609
Clippers? Thats news to GM

>>12610
*returns glint with glint so edgy it blinds him momentarily*
"... You have my interest"

>>12612
"Sooo pretty,..." he says.
"Ye sure this one's not for sale?" he says to Trump

>>12611
I expressed in Make Port Barry Great Again Part 2 that trump aquired three ships. okay, no, I did not say they were Clippers, which would probably be more expensive than regular ships, but they are faster, so it's not insane that Trump would get them. Also it's not inconceivable that Trump doesn't own one, and is doing a contractual slight of hand to sell a ship he doesn't own, then buy or trade for one and deliver it

>>12613
>this kike thinks he has a crack at her
He's going to regret trying.... poor fella'

>>12613
*still dazzled by his suits, his reception to Football, and the unicorn*
"Huh"

>>12614
>selling a ship he doesn't own
UNLAWFUL
>>12615
Probably, but thats his character
>>12616
"Nevermind. I'll leave you to your,... what was the term?,... wifooo?"

"Meanwhile, since ye like horses (no bully, he's an equal opportunist) let me show ye MINE"
Slovakia (easy name) is very much as you would expect from the pics. White coat, pink mane, fleur-de-lis'es for the CM, and a look of utter disdain and contempt on her face. She has nothing to say if and when you approach.

>>12618
REEEEEE!!! Are there ANY likable horses in this dimension. Goddamn it
Okay, is Slovakia the Slovenien unicorn in question, or is this a different unicorn?
>>12617
No no, it's just the precise enough timing of the exchange of contracts okay yeah, it's probably illegal

>>12618
Puts arms around any nearby pony

At the same time, Ben runs up to Infernius.
"I was instructed to tell you that these pirates may have resources and abilities that might fit with your developin defense force."
A moment later, Ben prods Torcuil.
"My instructions suggest that you might find value in interacting with the pirates."
A moment later still, Ben sneaks up to Tracy.
"The message I've been given say that 'while 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 pirates. He WILL sacrifice characters if its in his best interes"

>>12619
She's recently been slaved. Don't expect a warm reception.

>>12620
[affectionate pony noises]
*hugs back*

>>12620
>nearby
Trump puts his arms around Tracy, who experiences a rare and brief moment of warmth and bliss,

>>12625
No, Slovakia and Troll are entirely different poners

>>12618
looks at the pictures quickly, permanently burns the images in his mind, and then dismisses the images in s couple seconds

"that's great that you have a loving family like that. Hey, would you like to look at these pictures of the *unsold* penthouse if the luxury apartment building we just constructed. Easy access for wenches"

>>12627
I mean his waifu and the one he talked about selling. Slovenia and Slovakia

>>12626
Trump isn't letting go of her anytime soon

>>12630
[sensual pony noises]
*romantic nuzzling*

>>12628
"I set aside the penthouse when I had it constructed. I figured someone important might come along and I'd want it for him. I had no idea the founder himself would show"

>>12629
They're the same.
>>12628
>loving family
That's a captured slave, m8. She doesn't look like she wants to be here.

>>12628
"Ah do like me wenches," he says, looking fully on pics.
>>12631
I do love seeing Tracy like this. Just sayin'.
>>12629
IDK there was a difference between slovakia and slovenia. Can I get a contrast?
>>12632
"Yes! Good, butter him up! His weakness is vanity!" says an <ahem> voice who technically no one hears.

>>12631
Trump runs one hand through her mane, and another hand along her body. As Tracy nuzzles, eyes closed, Trump starts to give a genuinely passionate kiss. After some seconds, Trump breaks away and looks back at his guest. "Sorry about that" and he seems to pull away, but keeps a hand in her hair and the other on her body when possible

>>12635
*passionate shuddering*
[genuinely-happy pony noises]

>>12636
Not what I meant, I was referring to poners. Is there a difference in poners. Also
>>12635
>urge to cuddle intensifies
>>12638
Yeah, that

>>12634
>>12633
>they are the same
Okay, I wasn't sure, since trump asked earlier about the unicorn, if she was his waifu, and he responded as if she was not. So I was wondering if this waifu unicorn was a different one. I was confused
>that's a captured space mate
Trump's desire to make allies wherever he can dampers his ability to discern this, and the pirate's sense of fashion has almost stupefied him. He doesn't realize he is keeping her as chattel

>>12639
>Is there a difference in poners.
Idk if he was referring to any actual poners, but Melania Trump is from Slovenia. Some may say she shares a few characteristics with Fleur-de-lis

>>12639
I was asking if the pony he saw on the ship was the same one as the pirate claimed as his waifu

Trump says to him
"How would you like see the Penthouse? I haven't tested its maximum wench capacity, so if you want to bring a few up... The view from the panel glass windows is amazing. You can see the whole harbor, and the sails if the ships out at sea. It's beautiful watching the Indiamen come in, hull full of goods and wares, and leaving with goods. Even the new factories are beautiful - the smoke means money"

I'm back

>pulls cultry out of haggis

>>12643
>cultry
>*phases by at light speed and inserts three different types of cutlery into haggis, for that typo*
>>12642
*affectionate nuzzling resumes*

>>12644
When he finishes saying that, he kisses Tracy directly again, then turns back to look at the dwarf

>>12644
Plz no buly
I faled spllen

>teleport to The Cunt

>>12640
>a fucking white MARE
Korak has no romantic designs for Slovenia (IIRC, Trump did say Slovenian) but in a pinch wouldn't hesitate
>>12641
That makes layers of sense, TY
So in the continuing revelry, all parties can be said to reach something of,... not an agreement per say (no conditions) but a recognition of common interest, common drive mostly (he still hasn't seen Football), and common overall benefit to Barry and its people, No one seems to like the idea of innocents suffering, nor economic environments lacking or languishing.
>>12643
Pulling cutlery out, somehow there is more cutlery. Its not damaging, but it does chafe.

>>12645
*romantic gasps*

>>12648
MY CONSULING WORKS
>writes book
How to ship an Edgelord and a Waifu-Stealer
-Torcuil

>>12645
"Ye've got a <ahem> curious relationship with them there, them there"

"Me, I just let me and me mates fug 'em. I never thought about gettin' all lovey with 'em," he says, shaking his head

Assuming Torc is at the Cunt
I decide to invesgigate the ship
>if there are pirates I use invisability

>>12652
Minimal pirates, invisibility is wise.
To what degree does Torcuil inspect the ship?

>>12653
I check the cargo holds

>>12647
After further talking, hopefully the dwarf comes to the understanding that Trump lacks confidence that his team could successfully kill the sorcerer and the Terrasque at the sane time any time soon, and is looking to delay such a battle until later when they have more experience and resources.

Trump showers the dwarf in images of his various possessions - ships, buildings, apartments - and takes him to see them where he is amenable. In every instance, every single instance, Tump says something along the lines of "would you like to buy this?"

At no point does he let go of Tracy, even if he almost never looks at her and keeps his eyes on the dwarf. Tracy's nuzzles are met with passionate kisses that have a romantic intent behind them. Trump generally cuts away from the kisses for fear of offending his guest

>>12651
"Any chance you'd like to exchange any of your horses? We have a mare in the stable. Copper. Good riding mare. Could even carry that Nazi guy from earlier"

>>12655
*is dizzy with passion, but still listens for ways to infiltrate the tower*
>>12656
Copper was never revived. GM just wanted to develop Ponimaru.

>>12657
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

what tower?

>>12658
The tower where the sorcerer lives.

>>12656
Uh, the copper mare is all kinds of dead. Not infringing on ur negotiating, but that one is an old blood-splotch.
>>12655
No bully, "there hasn't been anyone prepared to take on the emperor
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
for friggin' forever.
>>12656
As for the unicorn, I suppose I could consider a barter/purchase."
>>12654
The cargo area is mostly barren, as the goods have been transferred off ship. There is a heavy door at the end of the hold, with an extensive lock that is beyond Torcuil's abilities.

>>12660
>beyond my abilities
Oh no, fucking hell
What ever will I do?

>uses staff of transmutalation to turn it into styrofoam

>>12660
Tracy employ all of her detection abilities to try to find more info about the location and structure of the Nerd's tower.

>>12661
Well, I meant you can't pick it. You are a magician though.
>>12662
That info is readily available. The tower (more of a spire really) is surrounded by a city, and situates about 12 mi north of Cardashil. Its an extremely reclusive community of wealth and status that keeps to its self, offering no exports but importing to a great degree.

>>12661
That'll work too. The barred door turns into styrofoam
