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.

>>12865About the time after Trumpaladin would've gotten dressed and said he was heading off to business.
She would've wished him good luck for the day, and said she was going for a trot.
>>12866Well, fuck then. In that case, it depends what Trumpaladin did. She would've left after she confirmed that he was busy and didn't need her there.
>>12867>muh flowchartsI don't believe you're investing the same magnitude of autism as me in this game!
>>12869>measuring dick autism sizes>>12868It looks like everybody is in separate places, so whenever works
>>12869Well, when Trumpaladin goes to leave, he would ask her to come with him. If she insists she wants to do her own thing, he would let her. The earliest he would dismiss her, if he saw she were restless, would be at the doors of the diamond exchange building. I don't know exactly where that would be, but my guess is it's in a second epicenter of the town a little ways to the west, about equally distant from the harbor and further away from the restaurants, which are immediately adjacent to the starting point. So maybe a 20 minute or 30 minute delay counting the time to walk back
>autismHell no I'm not putting as much in as you, but I am keeping track of my character
\r
>>12870GM, what does Tracy detect in
>>12864 outside the shop? She's listening closely, because she's suspicious of the guy running it.
>>12871>20 minute or 30 minute delayFine by me.
She'd gaze at the diamond rings for a bit, but then remember she doesn't have fingers. After that, she'd appear visibly bored for a moment, and politely excuse herself as to not disturb the businessmen in their dealings, and say she's going out for a trot.
[4d20 = 63]>>12872May as well roll for Spot (entities inside), Listen (eavesdrop on what shopkeep is doing), Search (building interior), and Sense Motive (what's this guy up to?)
Feel free to ignore this, because idk how to make proper checks...
>>12872Fingers no, but bracelets, bangles, and other shit is fair game. I did say that its night time, and the whole village is asleep, and if you're waiting until morning I'll have to finish killing Torcuil before I can say what the circumstances are in the morning.
>>12872That's many hours out
>lying to get out of the situationI was going to say that Trump himself realizes she's probably not going to get stolen if she's left alone and dismisses her himself, but okay.
If Tracy tells a man she is going out for a short walk, and then is not accounted for five hours later, Trump will task Fae and a number of police officers into investigating her whereabouts and finding her.
>>12875GM, would Fae or police investigators looking for a stolen pony find anything when investigating the pirates?
>>12873The whole village is dark, all the windows are shuttered and no apparent light or sound can be seen. The shop is locked, and some of the wares that sit on tables outside are stacked neatly a few paces inside the store. A cat sneaks about in the distance, chasing prey. It all seems quite normal and nondescript. Precisely what you would expect wait a second, there is a set of wheel-tracks that lead into the woods, away from the road.
>>12876If that is how the situation played out in the game morning, yes
>>12877The only way he would arrive at night is if he chose "leave at night," which he did not. Leaving late morning, he'd arrive presumably shortly after noon
>>12879And where is it he wants to arrive exactly? You lost me.
>>12880He wants to travel to the Wizard's city 12 or 8 hours away, and he wants to stop at that small store first, presumably at least 2 hours away from Port Barry. So he wants to separate himself from the party by a very large distance
>>12877Follow the tracks in stealth.
>>12881>hoursIf he's walking, wouldn't you use a faster travel method? There's Fae after all.
>>12883No. TRACY is going to the store hours away. Trump is staying at the exchange.
So does Tracy tell the guy she's leaving for a few minutes and then is just missing? It matters
>>12884She said she was going for a trot, which could've entailed as far as the outer-reach of the forest (based on previous "trots").
>>12882As she follows the tracks, the area becomes more wooded and thick, except for the tracks which become harder to detect, but are replaced by what is now a path cut out from the trees. Its about wide enough for a wagon to pass through. In the background, you hear jibber-jabber.
>>12884>2 postsWut
>>12884Also, the store is just a bit up the path.
>>12885>not just saying "hey can i go for the day"How long could he expect her to be gone before it gets weird?
>>12886>jibber-jabberOh god fucking dammit
Spot and Listen checks for now, to sense those things.
Advance furtively and cautiously in utmost stealth. Search around the path and take note of the area.
>>12888A day or so.
[2d20 = 15]>>12889forgot to roll
>>12889Its night time, what did you expect
>>12891It was to be expected.
Proceed cautiously, all senses peaked.
Continue to look for tracks and follow them.
[2d20 = 29]
The cleared-out section is pretty blatant, and the area outside it is thick with trees about 6-8" in diameter. The ground is thick with leaves, and the jibber-jabbering comes from two sources on the right and one to the left.
Alright
I'm stuck on a ship with a unicorn and some elves, and the owners want to kill me.
Hmmmmmmmmmm
Thoughts anyone?
I mean you guys must love to tell me what to do since you do it all the time
>>12889I don't think a short walk would take a full day
Why would she lie about this? What could she possibly stand to benefit from being deceptive as to the amount of time she'll be out. The discrepancy in time WILL be noticed. All she has to do is say "hey flashy there's a chore I need to run" "are you sure the Pirates won't steal you if you are alone" "I have my knives" and bam, she's free. Whereas if she says she'll be gone for a walk, but she's unaccounted for by evening, when Trump is paranoid that the Pirates will try to steal Tracy again, it's going to be noticed
>>12895>Why would she lie about this?I didn't really take it to be lying, when I wrote it. I was writing that while juggling work, and I attributed "going for a trot" as a pony way to excuse oneself in "taking some time for myself to do whateverthefuck". I didn't consider temporal restrictions, because I inferred that it would be clear that Trumpaladin would be busy with business/diplomacy for the whole day if not more, with all of the merchants showing up, or at least from her perspective. I wasn't specific, because she isn't actually sure what she's doing, except that she's curious.>are you sure the Pirates won't steal you if you are aloneI, personally, simply didn't consider the danger. If she felt he was under any potential threat, she would've been glued to him.
>>12896kek dayum
>>12894Tracy left the port, and Trump went back to sleep. Technically they are unaware of your situation, and neither is in a position to be notified. YOYO unless Infernius comes back to life.
Tracy is still walking down the path cautiously, doing best to be fully aware of her surroundings.
What does she find/encounter?
>>12894Take hold of the ship and figure out a way to make it disappear and/or divert attention from it.
Also, figure out where the elves came from.
>>12901I mean the pirates
The path is pretty straight forward and while its too dark to see anything yet, she can tell that the jibbers aren't far off. One of the ones on the right seems to be steadily approaching. In the distance there is a small break in the trees and a slightly familiar large tree.
>>12903Move up the path quickly and silently.
Do the jibberniggers show any signs of noticing her?
[1d20 = 15]>>12901poor kitten ._.
A cone of cold fires forth, freezing a pair of pirates adjacent to where the ramp used to be. Other pirates, approaching the area start to shout and call to one another. Two are dead, but you've just gotten even more attention. Some have torches and weapons, while others are doling out the line on grappeling hooks. Quickly the whole ship side of the dock is lined with pirates.
>>12904Yes, that one that seemed to be approaching is definitely approaching.
>>12903He left at mid-morning
He left at mid morning
He did not leave at night
He left at mid morning
>>12906Correct. And I also clearly stated that I have to resolve Torcuil getting killed before that can happen. Until Torcuil's situation is resolved, Tracy and Trump are idle unless they want to join in.
>>12905Uhhhhh
Wind in me sails?
>>12908An arrow bounces off the shield. You want to set sail?
[2d20 = 13]>>12905Speed up and deck it down the path.
Hide + Move Silently checks to throw those fuckers off her trail.
>>12897The day before, a level six gorrillion thief tried to steal and enslave Tracy. It's pretty clear that she would have lost and become a sex slave if the party weren't there for that. He is still in town. He has clearly indicated he is still interested in Tracy. And while Trump may not care as much for Tracy as she allegedly does for him, he is NOT willing to part with her, especially when she is pregnant with his child. So he's going to check on her location every now and then. If she's going to be gone for the day, but she says she's only gone for a shorter period of time, Trump is going to assume the worst, and assume she has been taken. Remember Trump is paranoid. He'd let her go if she asked, but if she indicates she's taking a twenty minute walk around the block and six hours later she's still gone, there's a missing persons report filed on her
>>12910All three are in pursuit, and you won't lose them before making it to the tree. The leaves prevent moving silently, making hiding veritably impossible.
>>12911Cuz they were just going to leave the ship full sails, not tied to the dock, for anyone to just take?
>>12910>nopeFull gallop then (What's my speed? 40 Squares?). Fucking run.
>>12907If it's still very late at night, Trump is going to have to assume a couple dock workers thought they could lift two crates labeled "high explosive, handle with care" on the same pallet and crane load, when the crane is rated for one
>>12913>implying Torc didn't cut ropes when he destroyed the rampPlus he has a dagger can a rod that allows him to move metal.
Honestly
Do I even have to say how he cuts the sail ropes?
>>1291450, hoers get running as a bonus proficiency.
You quickly make the large tree. Stop, change direction, or continue past?
>>12917Touch flaming hoof to tree to set it alight. Empty spray can onto the tree bark to makes sure it's not being extinguished any time soon.
If that's any distraction, run away.
>>12916Considering he'll be under fire from several positions on one side, yes.
>>12919*sigh*
He takes cover and manuver the dagger towards the ropes, cuts them
[3d20 = 48]>>12920That would involve several climbing checks with penalties, in addition to the incoming fire. Please note, because of the nature of the shield you can't use it for cover, you can only direct it to a particular direction. Its distance is fixed with respect to distance from you.
By the way, if Korak's ship is missing in the morning, Trump is willing to track it down and recover it, for a fee
[3d10 = 7]
Those were not the climbing checks, that was from incoming fire. Torcuil takes 3 heavy crossbow bolts, two of which stick (shoulder and leg) while the other skims part of his other arm.
>>12918... D-did it work? Is the tree on fire?
lso, fuck this halfling disguise. Readjust mask to look like a deer.
[1d20 = 15]>>12924A small part of the tree has caught fire, but there's enough moisture in the tree that its not just gonna go up in flames. You've a better chance of lighting the leaves on fire by accident.
>>12925Even with the spray can?
Light leaves beneath hooves while she's at it.
Now what?
>>12921I meant behind barrels or something
>i just relized Torc is pirating from pirates
>Tourcil is getting his ass kicked when he went out alone
>Tracy is getting her ass kicked when she went out alone
So is Ben willing to give a loan in shekels for 5000 with real estate as collateral?
>>12928>Tracy is getting her ass kicked Not
yet she isn't.
>>12929Reading, determining.
>>12927You can take actual cover, but that leaves your ability to move rather limited.
>>12929Okay, a couple things happen. Tracy can't just set her hooves on fire and have it go out. The flaming aspect only occurs during an agitated state, and is not something she can consciously or deliberately control. It started when she broke into a run. Setting the leaves on fire (as well as catching fire) is a good way to not distract but discourage the jibbers, but Tracy isn't immune to regular fire, just her own.
>>12932... okay...
And as for the escape?
>>12933You're going to hide while on fire? The jibbers keep their distance a bit, but losing them is impossible.
>>12934Can't she become undetectable by turning ethereal?
>>12931Uhh
Can trollestia teleport the elves away one by one?
>>12936Nope. She could carry as many as three people and airwalk remove them from the scene, but that would leave plenty of others and/or Torcuil.
T> Casts Obscuring Mist
A thick mist springs up around the ship, granting concealment to the entire deck.
>>12935Yes, but that won't get rid of the jibbers, they're still gonna occupy the area.
>>12939>cast FlyYou can now fly, though you can't carry any more than a medium load.
>>12940Well that didn't work
>>12938Well fug... This is a tight spot.
>this shit again>Oh wait, this should be enough to trigger herTracy closes her eyes and remembers the day she had a taste of Soros's blood: how her brain felt like it was on fire, the intense pain, how she ran out into the forest and got gangfucked by
these little faggots, the intense anger and bloodlust she felt. As she focuses on her anger, she grows visibly larger, and smoke seeps out of her pores, and her chest tightens with a deep, insidious rage...
>transformation = completeShe leaps into the air and bounds above the ground, legs shaking in mid air as she hovers 20-30 feet above the ground, glaring down at the jibberniggers with intense loathing.
Also, fuck the mask disguise. We Cauchemar nao.
td;dr: get angry; fly up to gain distance and get a good view, survey area for targets.
Do I still have that level in Pyro?
>>12942You STILL haven't told me what her levels are
Okay you're on fire, you're big again, and you're in the air over the jibbers. There's the 3, and from around the tree on both sides come another 2 respectively.
[1d20 = 13]>>12943So, 5 masses?
Last thing I knew she had two in Pyro and two in Blackguard. forget about Psionic Fist. Pyro isn't really important to me though, so one level is fine, or even none, desu. I want to save the most points I can for Assassin.Pull out lightning javelin and cast it at nearest mass to fry all of their tiny jibbernigger hearts at once (they're touching, so they should conduct)
>>12944Can I add a cone of smoke to that attack? I read it's useful once per round.
[1d20 = 5]>>12945The cone of smoke is automatic, but it surrounds Tracy and can't be used as anything of an attack. You can attack with the javelin though
[5d6 = 15]
The targeted jibber takes a direct hit of lightning
Unfortunately its still moving. Tracy is in the air so they can't attack, she's on fire and smoking so they would keep their distance anyhow, and aside from avoiding the leaves that are on fire, are fixated on Tracy.
Its a pity Tracy doesn't have a 60' spiked chain.
>>12941After a few moments to ponder the situation
K> Gust
The mist is suddenly blown away by a directed wind from Korak, who has joined the pirates on the dock.
"What have we here? Peter Pan?" causing laughter from the pirates.
[2d20 = 17]>>12948Sure then, lash and bludgeon with the chain, with a fiery vigor.
On the return, roar "Get over here", and fling a single one back towards her.
>>12949Torc tells Trollestia to get back and protect the elves
"What do you want?"
>>12950Okay so you missed with the attack. Adopting the strategy of flailing/spiking/stabbing them from the air enables Tracy to pick enough of them off without consequence though, so you can tear into them to your hearts content and ultimately defeat them. As individual jibbers are knocked away from each mass, the masses eventually flee into the forest. The area is, after a brief murder session, now clear except for scattered jibber bodies.
>>12952K> I should like to know why ye're killing me men, and tryin' to steal me cargo.
>>12953>didn't manage to get one to talkOh well. She was ready to kill them all anyway.
Inspect jibbernigger bodies, then inspect tree.
>>12955They don't talk, they just jibber.
After searching the tree, Tracy discovers a trap door activated by a switch.
I'd like to point out that I've been trying to lead Tracy to this since before Trollestia became a character.
>>12954T> Because yer a fuckwad?
>>12956Yeah, but what do they
look like?
Take a couple bodies for alchemy or whatever.
Search for traps, and then head through door.
>>12959The bodies look like pale, hunchbacked humanoids, with pointed ears, black manes and grinning faces. Their eyes are black, and shine with a maniacal gleam, even in death.
>>12958K> Oooh, lad. Now ye've gone and hurt me feelings. But look! Ye've brought me me second unicorn! And ah had only just acquired me first!
>>12960Take a body and go through trap door.
>>12961Oh I don't think so
>signals to Trollestia to cover her ears...>some howTorc releases a unidirectional sonic blast.
Bystanders hear a loud "doot doot"
>>12963[rattles internally]
[1d8 = 8]>>12962Alright. So Tracy wanders through the trapdoor onto a staircase leading into the ground. The tunnel doesn't stretch far, and it isn't long before it opens into a larger cavern, with rows and rows and rows and rows and rows of precisely stacked coin of countless types, stacked together by size and make when possible, with a few smaller piles of mismatched coin. There are dozens of large and small piles of large and small gem, also sorted quite neatly. Many stones have matching piles of raw and cut varieties.
Tracy seems to have found the jew hoard. It seems that they had been counting on no one being able to deal with the jibberlings, and have left the area entirely unguarded.
>Cast sonic blastThe pirates closer to the ship are effected, and of those effected only Korak seems unstunned.
>>12965Well, first check to see if the coast is clear, then check out the loot for the best items.
This won't all fit in Thez's quiver, will it?
As she inspects the loot, Tracy ponders frumiously of the whereabouts of the seemingly-friendly shopkeep who misled her about the trail (she did not enjoy waiting in line for hours).
"That fucking goon misled me..!" she growls
>>12966Rofl no. Its comparable to the size of the treasure from the tower. There's no traps or anything, and the area has been absent any activity for several days, by the thin layer of dust.
>>12967???
[1d50 = 44]>>12969I summon an army of skeletons by the pirates
Rolling 1-50 for size
>>12969Are there any items of interest around the loot? Weapons? Magic items?
Gather up most interesting items, and cautiously make for the door. (Can rogues set traps on doors).
As she leaves, she looks a bit more closely at the giant tree, and then searches for more tracks or other signs of activity.
>>12971No items or weapons, this is pure and neatly categorized loot.
>>12972Alright, take note of it and leave the den.
>>12970Please clarify, was the sonic blast an attempt to summon skeletons, or are you now attempting to summon skeletons?
>>12975kek
Okay. Well in response to the sound blast, Korak swabs his ear with his pinky, places his sword against a post on the dock, and flaps his cape producing a scintillating spiral of colors across its surface giving his body below the neck concealment.
>>12973What does Tracy see when she leaves the stash?
Also, g2g for about an hour.
>>12976T> I gues you should quit while.......
You're ahead
>>12978I'm having difficulty with your request. By my estimation, summoning skeletons would be comparable to summoning a monster, and I'm breaking down the number that would result. It wouldn't be 44. I'm thinking more like 18
>>12979That works too
How does he respond to my pun?
>>12980Went right over his/my head tbh
>>12981>concealment below the neck
[2d20 = 27]>>12982Oh. Right, my bad.
So Torcuil summons 1.5 dozen skeletons into the midst of the pirates, and a chaotic melee breaks out. As Torcuil does this <BANG, BANG> Korak fires two shots, blowing his cape open.
[14d6+4 = 59]
Oooh, that hurt. Torcuil takes both shots to the chest.
>>12985SHOT THROUGH THE HEART AN YOURE TO BLAME BABY YOU GAVE LOVE
A BAD NAME
Spams:
>I need healing
[2d20 = 20]
May as well do a Spot and Listen check to detect nearby entities upon leaving the door.
Torcuil slumps a bit from the strike, and Trollestia moves to support.
T> Cast Divine Power
T> He will not kill the elves, they are his merchandise. Get on or fly, we must escape.
Korak easily makes short work out of several skeletons immediately around him.
K> What's the matter lad? Having second thoughts?
>>12989"Tell them that we'll come back
Then go to the stables.
I'll meet you there"
>>12991T> No, you are wounded. I'll cover your retreat. When you are clear, I will join you.
>>12992Torc turns an edge growing in voice
"Go...
NOW"
>>12987Nope, the jibbers are successfully btfo, and the rats are in a totally different area right now.
[8d20 = 66]>>12993T> I will go, but I'm not leaving. She charges through the air and barrels into the pirates.
T> Charging Overrun
As she charges through, she sends 4 pirates falling into the water. As she does, Korak turns his attention to her and away from Torcuil.
>>12994What about the shop-keeping faggot who misled her?
*Covers trapdoor with earth and leafs*
*pees all over it so that she can Track the Scent of anyone who tampers with it*
*returns back down the path she came, in stealth*
>>12997>peeGood idea!
There is no evidence that the shopkeeper has gone anywhere, though his store is closed for the night.
I'll see if I can come in for something
>>12996"She listens worse than my wife"
>Torc flys back to the tower
[2d20 = 13]>>13000Splendid, she won't have to fly in circles keeping them distracted.
Well behind him, Torcuil sees Troll in pursuit.
Korak fires of another two shots
Well, since Trumpaladin's faggot isn't here to accommodate Tracy reporting back, Tracy continues to look for clues about the shopkeep and the-
>>12999Aaaannd there he is.
Tracy dligently hurries back to whereverthefuck Trumpaladin is.
>>13000>30+ virgin wizard>wife
One shot grazes Troll's side, but neither scores a direct hit and both of you are quickly out of range, returning to the tower.
>>13002Did....
Did you not read the autistic backstory?
>>13004I thought I did. Sorry.
Tracy hurries back to Port Barry to find Trumpaladin.
>>13002Regardless of what Tracy told Trump earlier, and regardless of whether that guy would have given him money, I'm going to say that Trump discovered he could not, as a matter of fact, cancel the appointments he had for the day, and was consumed for three hours.
>>12999After a brief sleep, Trump awakes to find that there is a large crowd with torches gathered outside the pirate ship. In fact, he wakes just in time to see two figures fly off, one unmistakably being Trollestia.
>>13001>assuming we are back at the towerYou okay?
>>13009T>I'm merely scratched. You, get in the entertron, those shots almost killed you
They seriously almost killed you.
>>13008Use all diplomacy and ask what the hell is going on
>>13010>these shots almost killed youI dint know who the hell these people are, but I am finding them, and I am recruiting them into my army
>>13010>my autistic rpg-ing could have endedGlad it d...
>>13008Fuck
Whats an entertron?
>>13007*returns*
>*humps leg*"~Flashy?
>>13013T> Its the booth down in the infirmary, next to the forges. Go make a phone call!
I wish I didn't have so much fucking work to do...>>13015*leg-humping intensifies* (she's waiting for a response)
>>13011So, are you leaving the apartment then?
>>13018GM, please tell me the timeline. As I understood it, Trump and Tracy did their thing, then went to the apartment. Both slept while tourcil and trollestia did their thing. Trump would not leave on his own nor would Tracy without some city official or so one contacting them. Then, the next morning, Trump and Tracy do their thing. Tracy finds treasure, and Trump is busy, but Tracy comes back
>>13016"Okay...."
Torc goes, wondering whtt the fuck he will find
>>13019Since Tracy wanted to go and was okay with it being night time, she took off while Trump went back to sleep. At the same time Torc was getting BTFO by pirates. Tracy followed clues, BTFOd some jibbers, and located the jew treasure, which has literally been right friggin there the whole friggin time.
At the same time, Torcuil was still getting BTFO, such that he and Troll escaped to the tower. Its almost morning now, and there's still a commotion as the pirates finish off the last of the skeletons.
>>13017If she wants me to jump her back, then not in public. Fine
"Hello... Tracy"
>>13020In the corner of the medic area, Torcuil finds a booth that literally says "Entertron. Get inside!"
I'm gonna go for about an hour or soTorc enters the booth
>>13024Roll cinematic shit
>>13022But he said he would leave in the morning
reeeeeeeeeeee we established she didn't leave until after he woke up in the morning
>>13023"Hello, ~Flashy." *excited pony leg-humping sounds* "On my trot through the forest, I found something you might ~like."
*is humping leg and a speed too fast to see*
>>13027>>13026*Reeeeees in symphonic tandem tandem*I know it's fucked, but it's better to just roll with it at this point.
>>13026Mrrr mrrr mrrrrrr!
I explained that if Tracy wanted to leave in the morning, she would have to wait so I could resolve the situation with Torcuil, as the outcome/conclusion would affect the circumstances Tracy would find upon leaving. Would Torcuil be dead and some angry pirates want answers? Would the pirates be dead and the party now has a phatty ship? As it turns out, neither happened. While all this was happening, Tracy seemed quite keen to proceed, so under numerous indications that "Its still night time", with scenery and description, Tracy continued on and ultimately found the hidden jew hoarde.
>>13029>if Tracy wanted to leave in the morning, she would have to wait so I could resolve the situation with Torcuil, as the outcome/conclusion would affect the circumstances Tracy would find upon leaving.Tracy wouldn't give a shart about what Torcuil or the pirates are doing. She'd just slip away in stealth and be off with it.
>>13029So did she leave the apartment while Trump was sleeping?
>>13030Correct, thats why her arc played out how it did.
>>13031>pali's paliYes. Since she indicated she would try and leave before he awoke, I went with that as the context for her leaving at the time she did.
Leaving before morning after having sex is very clear sign that the partner does not value the relationship and was only interested in a one night stand. If Tracy stays through in the morning and especially if she is there to comfort him in the morning, he will see this as a sign that she is devoted to him, and he will be grateful for her comforting him. Simply put, the trump/tracy ship still floats
If Trump wakes up alone, whether it's at 3 AM or 7 AM, he will think that Tracy doesn't have any real devotion to him. Worse, he's already angry and obsessing over a different pony. So he blocks Tracy out of his mind and thinks only of the different pony. The trump/tracy ship burns and eventually sinks
So if Trump meets Tracy having woken up alone, he will greet Tracy at first angry and disappointed, as if he were expecting something from her and was terribly disappointed, but then, he will resume a more cold and distant attitude. Like she's a stranger to him, and she doesn't owe him anything.
If she leaves after he wakes up, and comes back to him, he'll be reasonably happy to see her.
A third possible option is that Tracy leaves while Trump is sleeping, but comes back and wakes him up. In that case, he'll think her story is weird, but probably will not think any the worse. This option will be impossible if Trump is awoken by the consequences of Tourcil's invasion of the ship
So if he wakes up alone, and is forced up early by the fire and the ship, his reaction will be
"... Where the fuck were you? Oh nevermind. Hello Tracy"
There's no way she would've left before morning, but the timeline is already fucked.
Tracy explains that she went out into the woods to pee, to avoid a getting UTI after sex (not a lie). She went into the woods to do it, because that's what ponies do.
Afterwards, she tells Trumpaladin about the stash of six-gorillion+ shekels.
>contemplates burning flow charts
>>13035*REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES louder*>>13036Save yourself...! *coughs blood*
>>13034That's,... that description would pass a detect lies actually. There are omissions, but no outright lies.
>>13036Oh cry me a river!
>>13039What are the circumstances under with Trump is awoken from his sleep and brought to the docks. And when he's there, what does he see?
>>13040>not having more than a dozen flow charts that you can switch between if the situation changes>not designing your flowcharts to be flexible
>>13040As far as I can tell, Trump is leaving the apartment just as Tracy is arriving. Her explanation has gaps, but its still true, and hearing that she found the jew hoard would probably dismiss any butthurt that she wasn't there when he awoke, since finding the hoard was specifically one of the "prove you love me" conditions he suggested.
As he leaves the apartment, he doesn't make it down more than two streets before he sees a crowd of pirates in the increasingly less-distance, with Korak in the lead, heading his way.
>>13041>using flowcharts and not flipping frantically through books, notes, and references to determine the precise idea just so players can nerf it with a single comment
>>13034So Tracy travels from a tower in the middle of downtown several miles to the woods to pee... And not ten feet to bedroom bathroom, or 30 feet to a different bathroom in the apartment, or to any of the four bathrooms in the apartment, or to the bathroom on the first level, or to the bathroom in the restaurant on the same block. Or to a bathroom in a different block. Or any of the 1000 or so bathrooms that exist in between the forest and the apartment bed. And this whole task of going to the bathroom took three or five hours. I guess it's theoretically possible that she distrusts human designed bathrooms, but it's still weird. I'm sorry but I'm going to have to put "I was going to the bathroom and found a lot of hidden money a few miles away" in the bullshit category
>>13042Why is he leaving the apartment?
>>13041It's just different outcomes for different situations
>>13042It was a "prove I can trust you," not "prove you love me" test.
>>13043>ponies using bathroomsHave you ever seen even a single toilet in Equestria? There's nothing suspicious here.>>13042>oh shit!*draws knife instinctively*
>>13046Yes, when a house is damaged I believe
>>13047I must've missed that one...
>>13048Well I'll be darned...
Whatever...
>>13043It is bullshit, but technically it is true.
>>13044Didn't you say you were going to see what was going on?
>>13011 would require Trump to leave.
>>13045Okay, still. As far as Trump knows what she has said is not a lie, and while he's entitled to be suspicious about the timeframe and the potential lack of details, she IS telling the truth AND found the jew gold.
>>13042Does this happen after he wakes up in the morning according to his natural schedule or is he somehow made to wake up early? If so, who or what summons him, and to where and why?
>>13051I had thought the use diplomacy post indicated he's awake. If he plans to sleep until morning, then he would have been awoken by Tracy's return rather than her meeting him as he was leaving.
>>13052Tracy waking him up while he lays in his bed with her usual Jump scare hello Flashy would work. He could see flames or smoke in the harbor and think "who fucked this up?"
Can we please stop being nitpicky with the details now?
>wild lvl 88 Time Wizard, mad with power, flies over Port Barry
>Fucks up everyone's perception of time, teleporting around various people and objects
>Erases everyone's memory of him, while casting a spell to stop them from questioning why everything is suddenly so confusing
>>13053Splendid! That would neatly dismiss any issue of her absence, while allowing her the glory of reporting the discovery of jew gold, while allowing them a moment before pirates 'politely come knocking'.
>>13053.. Or, that could work too...
*teleports beside you*
"Good morning, Flashy."
>>13055>>13057Waking up
"Gah!"
>>13058*hugs*
"It looks like there's something weird going on in Port Barry.
~Anyway, I went for a stroll and happened upon something you might like."
>>13059Looking out the window there is smoke
"What might that be?"
>>13060"You know those rat-faced pricks who used to do (((business))) around here? They buried all of their shekels under the big tree in the forest."
>>13061"What, where? When did you find this?"
Just tell more
>>13062"I found it last night, after I got up to pee. There's a trapdoor just beneath the massive tree north from here, where those jibbery things used to swarm."
so i may have fell asleep last night, can i get a quick rundown to get caught up?
>>13063He'd be more impressed if you said you went to do it for him as a gift before he woke up"That's great, Tracy!"
*pets pony*
*line of thought changes*
"We should go get that today"
>>13064
Didn't he swoop in on Fae and get Tracy while she was being covered in them?
>>13065After the party Torcuil snuck onto the pirate ship and after summoning Trollestia, found that the pirates had over a dozen elves chained in the ship's hold. Trollestia got mad, Torcuil went Robin Hood, and they freed the slaves killing several pirates in the process.
At this time Tracy took off to look for information and found tracks leading from the Pip shop to a large tree in the forest that has been there the whole time. After dispatching the jibberlings in the area, Tracy found a trapdoor at the foot of the tree leading to <gasp> an incredible fortune (the missing jew hoarde of gold and stuffs).
Meanwhile, Korak arrived on scene and BTFO Torcuil and Trollestia, who escaped to Trump Tower.
Meanwhile, Tracy returned and told Trump the news of the treasure, while Trump realized that there was a crowd of pirates with torches headed his way.
>>13065Trump and Tracy went with the pirate guy to a banquet. They discovered that there is an evil wizard who is exacting tribute across many lands, who rides the Terrasque. We're going to have to kill that guy. Trump found a new unicorn to try to waifu, and so he spent like five hours trying to get the pirate to sell it to him - that failed. Trump and Tracy Fucked. Tracy found Treasure and may or may not fuck Trump again right now. Tourcil thought the Pirates were mistreating a few animals and immigrants, so he murdered a few people and robbed the pirate's ship, so you can probably forget about good relations with them and redpilling them
>>13066That would imply that she knew what she was doing before she found it, which she didn't*affectionate pony noises*
"~Hmmmmh.. Yes, before someone else finds it."
