>>13070Trump is now worried and forces Tracy to look directly at him, with his hands if necessary
"What are you implying by 'before someone else finds it'?"
GM, is Trumpaladin seeing people with torches coming to the apartment building? What does he see out the window exactly?
>>13072"Well, it's a giant hoard of gold just sitting out there in the forest. If anyone else knew about it, they'd probably help themselves to it, wouldn't they?"
>>13073Pirates with torches, headed toward the apartment building.
>>13068>>13076i try and intercept them to see what they want.
>>13077Where are you? Last I checked, you passed out at the Rusty Duck party
>>13079they enslaved eleves not niggers(who arent human btw)
>>13080Well, knife-ears aren't human either, but I get your point.
>>13074Trump is briefly curious as to why Tracy did not immediately produce a coin or something other to prove it, but he figured that if she was lying, he could just get pissed at her later
"Very good little pony!"
Starts petting her and reciprocates any affection she shows him - he nuzzles back, rubs back, kisses back, or humps back
Trump figures he should buy her something. What would Tracy even want? Uh, a dead bird? She likes cutlery. Maybe give her s knife from the kitchen. No, she knows knives. That would just insult her. She wears a dog collar. Maybe she wants a new dog collar? Gold and platinum studded in jewels? Then she'd look like some rich guys trophy wife. Is that what she wants? I'm sure she likes her black, maybe she's sentiminel, maybe something something jewels are too reflective, mess up my stealth something something. Eh, she seems to like him, so maybe she'd like a collar that creams TRUMPALADIN. Anyways, a note to gift her something
>>13082I'd have you waking up at the Rusty Duck, finding the place empty with a few pirates passed out around you. It wouldn't take but a few questions to the servers cleaning up to find that one of ur folk looks like he attacked the pirate ship and tried to steal precious cargo from Korak and co. You might have a fight on your hands.
>>13076Well fuck. Happy moment is over. Get dressed, and head off Pirates.
>>13084i rush to the tower fearing the worst.
So what happens in the booth?
>>13086you're alive!
>>13087you pissed off the pirates i see.
>>13083>What would Tracy even want?>implying materialistic desiresRIDE HER. She didn't have that golden-silk saddle made for no reason.
Collar could work, I guess. >>13091i thought it was be me honestly, thanks for picking up the slack.
>kill all slavers
If you people gotta make yourself feel good and free all slaves, why can't you just do it the way the British did? The British paid slave owners and freed the spaces. No four year civil war. No violent revolution where the entire white population was exterminated. They just paid to have them freed and no violence.
These Pirates were and still could be useful allies. We can negotiate freedom or free the elves some other way than by killing everyone
>>13093They're chaotic aligned: They wouldn't go through that papery stuff.
>>13095There's one guy who knows much about the wizard guy and that's Korak, and we're not going to fuck it up because of some fucking non-human elves
>>13093But killing them means they can't take Tracy
>>13095Oh, and that
>>13093dude these arent "Caribbean pirates" theyre real pirates thyre brutal they dont negotiate usally.
>>13083>>13090I'd recommend a not-shiny blackened "Trump tag" (or perhaps just a T) to attach TO her collar,... but that's just a random suggestion.
>>13091>>13092One or the other, it was kinda inevitable given the character's proclivities.
>>13094Trollestia is near the entrance, narrow-eyed and scanning for information.
T> Your friends are soon to bear the consequences of your(our) actions. You saw how easily Korak took ownership of the last scene, do you think your friends will fare better?
>>13097Meta, but you underestimate Tracy. Even if they did capture her, she has plenty of skills by which to make like the A team
>>13097Oh they are not taking Tracy
>>13098They were negotiating last night. They just wanted money and we needed leverage. Now we have possession of their wares, so let's drive a hard bargain
>>13097>take TracyBy the time she was done with them, they'd be begging her to let them free.
>>13099Do Tracy and Trump have a moment or fo they need to go try to calm down Korak and the like?
and hand over the goddamn unicorn >>13099T> I'm not losing anyone else
I'mooing down there to help
>>13104*I'm going
Torc gets his shit ready to leave
>>13103A couple responses. They still have a moment or two before the mob reaches their door. Also, aside from Trollestia the party hasn't taken Slovenia, and the elves are still being held (resecured) on the ship. Technically (aside from several individual pirates who, for all intents and purposes are real and friends/allies with other living pirates so there is bad blood) there has been no loss of merch for them and no gain for the party.
>>13105Troll> May I ask why you care?
>>13107Torc> Because,
I got them into this mess
And I need to finish what I started.
Besides, they're friends. can't let them die
>>13108T> I meant about the slaves. I have my own reasons, but why did you so readily jump in to help them?
>>13109T> Reminded me of my own people when the leftists took over.
I oon't wan to see anyone else suffer like that
>>13107>tourcil fucked everything up and didn't even free any cargo for all of the troublesIf Tracy is up for it, I'm going to spend that time doing what if rather be doing with Tracy. I think the pirates are more likely to believe I had nothing to do with it if I am underdressed in an apartment. Also, meeting them at the door means only needing to fight one at a time with no allies to the side, should it come to that
>>13111>with tripsThat was a most strategic an pragmatic decision. It isn't long before a very slow and methodical "Rap, Rap, Rap" comes to the door. It's loud and firm enough to be insistent and assertive, but not overly hurried.
>>13110T> In that, we may have some commonality. I shall accompany, though my magic is limited. I shall follow your lead.
>>13112*rushes to door, knife in hand*
>>13110your gonna want to find me.
>>13114*opens it and greets the faggot who interrupted*
Torcuil is aware that his Fly spell is nearing expiration, but can re-apply it for sake of efficiency
>>13112Trump gets a little dressed, so he has covered himself, but is neither armored not in formal business attire. He signals to Tracy "please don't let them see you have the knife. Do not engage unless they engage first."
Trump opens the door. He is damn sure to force whoever comes through to enter into a tiny halway that is cramped on each side, room for only one person. Trump stands at the end of it where he had more room to move, with Tracy nearby. He tries to hide Tracy's knife before opening the door
"Can I help you? I'm sorry, I was a bit indisposed"
>>13116Upon opening the door, Trump is greeted by a number of pirates, many of whom brandish weapons and torches. They seem quite embarrassed given his almost naked.
Korak weaves his way to the front.
"I hope I didn't catch ye at a bad time."
He says with a note of sincerity, but also with a note of irritation. "I'd not risk offendin' ye if it weren't important," he says tapping his cane briefly into the stone walkway to accentuate his point.
>>13113Thank you, anything should help
>>13117Okay, that works
>>13120"I belieeeeve I can flyyyyyyyyyy"
Fly spell recast
>>13119>'this faggot again'- Tracy thinks as she takes a step back.
"Ummm, yeah, it is a bad time. What is it that's so important?"
>>13121Torc flys back to town, hoping he's not to late
>>13123As Torcuil and Trollestia fly from the tower, they can see the mass of pirates (about 30 ish) gathered around the new apartments Trump had converted for public use.
Infernius, on the ground sees this in moving toward the tower and (?) redirects toward the pirates, Torcuil and Troll's apparent destination.
>>13124i try to engage in diplomacy.
>>13126>>13124"what seems to be the problem gentlemen?"
>>13124Torc stops close enought to see and hear, but not be see
>>13126>>13127You're still at the back of the group, and you haven't been noticed yet. I would suggest waiting for the right moment, unless you want to utilize your extensive range of clerical spells.
>>13125K> I was hopin' to ask ye that. It seems one of yer group, the scottish fella', stole onto my ship, killed several of my men, and attempted to steal me valuable cargo. Under other circumstances ye'd have found this pretty house on fire, but you've been a right chap thus far so I'm asking ye directly. What is the meaning of this?
>>13129That puts him in a holding position about 40' directly above the pirates. He can see and hear, but is far enough away that he isn't indicated from ambient torchlight.
>>13131i try to remain unnoticed and wait to strike.
>>13131Torc waits to hear whtt Trump says
>I swear to god I will drop an ACME brand anvil >>13131Trump is visibly angered by Korak's words
"What"
Trump thinks, and realizes that every single one of his "crew" was unaccounted for the night before. He turns to mouth to Tracy "Tracy, did you do this?"
Trump says to Korak "who did this, and how do you know it was one of ours? Aren't there other bandits around. As for your crew, we may actually have the power to bring the dead back to life. At least I believe we did, I'm not sure if it's been tampered with since then"
>>13134K> Impressive. I did say the scottish fella', but if ye can restore the dead, that would go a long way toward repairing what ah had hoped would be a mutually beneficial arrangement. I'll tell ye what, cough up the scotsman and his pretty hoers, and there'll be no more trouble.
Torc realizes the opertunity he has been blessed with
T> Tollestia, go get the elves off the ship, I'll make sure they don't leave
>>13136T> I don't know your intentions, but your strategy is sound. The ship should be less/unguarded at this moment.
She fly-runs off.
>>13135"The Scottish guy? I haven't seen him since we left the docks: he was for a few hours. I do not know where he is. I can also tell you that robbery and murder does not sound like the sort of thing he'd do, at least not without good cause. I want to ask you again, are you sure it was him? Who is his horse?
But yes, we may - just may - be able to bring the dead back to life"
>>13137ok gm i have my plan. if the pirates do anything agrresive i use wall of stone to create a cage around them.
>>13137Godspeed you glorius horse
>>13139Thanks
>>13141They complain?
10
Feet
Higher
>>13141>cast Wall of Stone, ready move to release based on input trigger ("Now" or whatever).>>13138Oh, me men are quite sure it was him, he left several frozen stiff, and still others dead with burns all over. There's no mistaking it. As fer the hoers, she was quite the pretty one. A unicorn, which I think ye might also appreciate, who trampled several more of me men.
From the back of the pirates, one calls out
"She turned me into a newt!"
Heads swivel in that direction.
"I got better,...."
>>13143"Why would he do that? Well, I'm sure it was a misunderstanding, just the same as you mistook out attack pony for chattel yesterday. Please understand we are a, well, "multicultural" crew, and we come from many different background with many different understandings of good and evil. But all wounds can heal. Even death itself can now be turned back. Okay, once again I know we used to have such a machine, I assume we still do. But I tell you it isn't cheap to operate. For two to four Pirates that's going to run you about one unicorn. Speaking of unicorns, you can keep the Scot Guy's one if you can capture it. And Please join us for a football game later"
>>13148>you can keep the Scot Guy'sI will not hesitate to drop my anvil on you bitch
>>13148Should I role for diplomacy or something?
>>13150If you want to come here and defend yourself against these pissed off Pirates, then be my guest
>>13148GM keks at the Art of the Deal
K> If it meant me men coming back to life, I might be willing to forego the slight that has been imposed.
Murmurs echo throughout the pirates.
K> Now lads, I'm not suggesting that anything involving forgiveness or acceptance take place, I'm just thinkin' that if these here can totally undo the losses we have faced tonight (its barely dawn almost), maybe we might cut our losses. After all, aside from meself, these fellas are too much to handle.
Nervous laughter begins, followed by relaxed laughter.
K>Mr Trump, ye're a salty fella I don't mind sayin'. Ah came here prepared for war, but here ye've presented a scenario that we can all have peace. We'll retire to ours, but I'm thinkin' that you might just have urself a deal.
I just want to say (for the umpteenth time) I had no idea it would play out this way.
>>13151That RP was quite sufficient diplomacy.
So the pirates meander from Trump's apartments. Infernius (seeing the pirates leaving) realizes that his intervention is no longer needed. Torcuil, still flying high, sees that his actions are not required on scene. Trump closes the door to the apartment, leaving him and an irritated Tracy alone once again.
There is the whole matter of Trollestia freeing the slaves, but we'll get to that later since OP has to depart here in the next half hour.
Gameplay is still on for the next 1/2, but the danger is (momentarily) averted, and characters are free to cinema.
>>13156>closes the door to the apartment, leaving him and an irritated Tracy alone once again.[lonely pony noises]
*fiddles with doornob with tiny pony hooves until it opens and follows the group at a distance in stealth*
>>13160[affectionate pony noises]
>>13157i go back to the rusty duck and get shit faced again.
>>13155FUCKING YES. If that had gone on, I would have invited them all to sit down on the couches, while I had fine alcohol poured for them, while Tracy cut vegetables or meat in the kitchen for a minor meal (an excuse to have Tracy brandishing a giant knife on the pirate's flanks), but otherwise continued with the sane basic arguments
>>13157I have to drive, so I am unavailable. I wish I could have worded all of that more eloquently and less like a ramble
>>13157Are characters free to update their gear?
Add some caltrops to the bag, and materials for some easy-make flash-bangs.
>>13165Caltrops yes, flashbangs no.
Characters can make minimal adjustments (nothing involved, it won't take THAT long for the pirates to get back to the ship and find that the elves are gone), but otherwise gameplay is suspended. The entertron is open, and there's about 14 shoddy elves milling about in the tower. Otherwise, everything is 'normal', which is to say, SNAFU.
>>13166Okay, add some arrows to the bag.
Mount jibbernigger corpse on wall in room as trophy.
>>13166Retrieve corpses and unicorn from ship
>>13169I think the pirates are already doing that.
