Torcuil has spent the last spent the last hour at a fever pitch of activity, grabbing books, discarding them, shuffling papers, analyzing diagrams,... he knows he's on the verge of something, and something big. Tracy continues to try and vie for Trump's attention with a variety of methods. Let's not forget that Trump is a 6'2" human, and Tracy is,... what, 3'6" standing upright? Thez has fallen asleep in her zombie-bath, and dusk approaches.
Oh yeah, this is the Tabletop Gaming continuation thread from

AAAAAND... There goes my wifi
Anyway, diregard that "point where he landed" part.
Just go for the sinews.
[1d20 = 7]>>1684I pull out beans and try to infuse them with magic
Sadly I dont have acsess to my meme statch right now
[1d20 = 2]>>1685Crouched down with one hand on the shoulder for stability, Trump trusts with all of his effort again at the giant's neck
Taking a stab in the ankle and still barely fending off the guy at his throat, the giant decides he's had enough of this and runs off, releasing the mechanism restraining the hydra... and taking Trump with him.
>>1687The memes are inside you, Anon.
[1d20 = 18]>>1689REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
*gallops off after husbando-stealing giant at breakneck speed*
>>1690Thanks for the encouragement
But theyre actually in my hard drive
ANYONE GOT A SLING?
[1d20 = 12]
Having had enough himself, Trump tries to find a way to jump down off of the giant
>>1693Trump makes steady progress, climbing down along the giant's back to avoid getting hit by passing vegetation.
>>1691Is able to keep pace but not quite catch the giant
>>1692Pepe:. . .
>>1694Stupid frog
Whats the status of that hurricane?
The hydra, loosed from its bonds begins to thrash its various necs around before orienting eerily simulatneously at Torcuil. It charges at him.
Remember, it's just a snek.
>>1697If I were you, and I were trying to summon Irma, I might start with this one, taken from one of the main page threads. Xp
[2d20 = 32]
Having run a decent distance away, the giant w/ Trump comes screeching to a halt, grabbing at Trump with both hands.
>>1701Did not mean to post that...
[1d20 = 12]>>1702Aww Hell no. I was going to let the fucker go but now it's STAB SLASH AND STAB at the giant's hands
[1d20 = 1]>>1702*Catches up to giant, and searches for a weak point, knife in maw*
[1d100 = 44]>>1704Uhm,... he miss with one hand but critted with the other
>>1706Fuck!
Didn't even mean to roll..
Trump is not doing so well. He's still holding on, and he still has his sword (his shield was lost somewhere along the way) but he's still fighting, he's still in it to win it, and he's gonna make wherever the hell this is great again.
He makes his way to the ground as Tracy positions herself for a strike.
[1d20 = 3]>>1711Stabs the fucker in the ankle. Right, dead center of the bone so it kind of bounces off and into the surrounding tendons, and once it is buried, positions himself on top of the foot and slice through the rest of the ankle like through a watermelon
>>1705>"No U" anon!The Hydra is almost upon Torcuil, its many heads eagerly ready to snap down
[1d20 = 12]
*takes out two more knives to triple wield*
*Lunges for the sinew in left leg*
"DON'T. TOUCH. MY. FLASHY!!!"
"NO U!!"
Like a bolt from the sky, Thez streaks down punching through and into the giant's skull cavity. The giant stumbles to the side for a moment, and then collapses in a heap.
[1d20 = 17]>>1714Trump says "fuck it," and walks away from the giant and going towards the building, with vegetation and Tracy allowing his exit
[1d20 = 11]>>1713I cast teleportation
I move the giant so it will step on big snek
If the foot is detached Ill just take that
At the same time Tracy circumstantially learns a 3-hit combo on the giant's leg
>>1717Plz note, most of the rolls I'm making are for things that are going to happen, not what is happening.
[7d20 = 59]Thez crawls out of the giant's fractured skull as the Hydra bears down on Torc.
>>1721You step on snek.
[1d20 = 19]>>1719>>1717Disappointed at seeing someone else take her kill, Tracy merely glares at Thez, before continuing after her husbando, before he gets himself killed. She thinks to inquire Thez about wtf is going on, but she's got bigger fish to fry.
"You're not going without me, buster!"
She yells, as she pursues him, covered in blood."
[1d100 = 30]
Okay wait a second. Nah, that doesn't happen.
>sigh
Okkay. In its anticipation of eating the tasty morsel that has presented itself, somehow it failed. I'm not even sure how to describe how it failed so we'll just go with the dice
>>1722I book it while multi snek
Yells "I SPECIFICLY REQUESTED THE OPPISITE OF THIS"
>>1725You increase from 6ish feet tall to 25ish feet tall (proportionately)
Okay, so the Hydra bites its self, and then gets in an argument with its self about who's fault it was and loses all actions for the round
[1d20 = 8]>>1723Rolling to tackle (hug) Flashy, to the ground, as he runs like a cowering faggot.
[1d20 = 2]>>1728You succeed in attaching yourself to him, but he is still quite upright and stable.
The Hydra looks at Torcuil as a threat rather than prey and adopts a more cautious posture lashing out only with a couple of its heads.
>>1726UH GUYS, A LITTLE HELP OVER HERE?
[1d20 = 1]
>in reference to Torcuil..
*panting*
"H-he's a big guy..!"
>>1733DISREGARD THAT MEANINGLESS ROLL!!!
[1d20 = 1]>>1731Uh... Okay
Trump readies his shield and pony shield
[2d100 = 157]
Not a floodpost
[1d20 = 8]>>1735Trump sees the hydra, and immediately recognizes what it is.
"I've seen these before."
Trump Challenges the Hydra on its positions on open borders, and demands to know if it truly loves Equestria
>>1738Kek
Torc decides to step on sneks tail to try and slightly immobilize it
>>1735Without deliberately intending to, Trump grabs Tracy by the pussy. The two are momentarily stunned by what has just occurred,... but neither moves away (meaning, still haz by pussy).
Meanwhile, two of the hydra's heads latch onto giga-Torcuil
That was for those 1s u rolled. Otherwise yes, Trump is bombastically posturing toward the Hydra
Trump moves his hand away quickly and wipes it on Tracy's coat
[1d20 = 15]*shudders unconrollably*
>>1743If 20, I clamp down so you can't escape.
>Tracy's like: Flashy k-kun?
Giga-Torc wrestles with the Hydra, failing to pin it down. Its remaining heads join into the grappel, and Torc is now bleeding alarmingly.
[2d20 = 11]>>1746You are unable to successfully strike the hydra with either hand. It is basically trying to hold you still until you bleed out, which you're doing.
[1d20 = 8]
>legs shaky from "surprise"
*Looks over at fight*
"sh-should I cut them?"
"Alright chums, lets do this"
Thez says streaking back into the fray after a moment.
In a spinning double-kick, she whonks 2 of the heads off of Torcuil. Also, she doesn't fall to the ground, she's just kinda standing there,... in the air,.... O_o
>>1749I gtg so lets just say I go into a coma
Peace dellas see ya latter
>>1745You may go ahead and consider Tracy as stuck in this pose
>>1755>>1754What a nice place to end for the week.
Good night, fellas!
>>1752For illiteration purposes, here's where I went with it.
When you summoned crusader pepe, it worked. He was an awkward-looking frog in crusader attire, clearly not fitting the context, so that is what was summoned.
When you attempted to step on snek, it worked cuz snek was the hydra though it did no damage. When you said "this is expressly... " was when the meme magic started to spark. In that moment Torcuil (who was attempting to meme) was about to get eated by a much larger creature. He was, in a word, about to get stepped on by snek. Having successfully stepped previously, and to be stepped on, was expressly not what he asked for. So then, the Game decided that if he was the same size as snek, then neither he could step on nor could he be stepped upon.
>>1743>>1745>>1752I thank you three for the first and now the second time. Running something like this over an imageboard is an experiment in ingenuity and creativity, and I have had more fun doing so than I could ever have anticipated or planned. I'll throw out details and descriptive factoids throughout the week, but I look forward to doing this again next week.
Warning though, the mobs r gonna get harder.
Continuing wrt Torcuil
When contemplating memes, consider the complexity of the meme. An epic pepe meme might work in a specified context, but something more basic works equally well. "No u" for example, is what I'm pretty much going with for "magic missile". Similarly, I'm running with Pence as being the icon of electricity.
Lets say you wanted to cast fireball.
>This dude is on fiiirrrreeeeee
Or you wanted to freeze your opponent
>Let it go, let it go, can't
Or you wanted to confuse or befuddle your opponent
>Im gender non-binary, my pronous r Hibbity and Hooblah
Create with the meme the idea you're looking to create in the Game.
'No step on snek' doesn't work well when squaring off with snek. Xp
>OP wanders in to review the thread. Thez is still dangling in midair.
T"So like, can I come down now?"
O"Yes, but you have to go back there before gaming begins again."
T"K!"
>Thez whoofs over to where he is. He reviews the posts in reverse-order.
T"I think you could do a better job," she criticizes.
O"Thats the idea. Its difficult translating lit. volumes of game mechanics and stuffing them through an anonboard. Its forcing me to refine my thinking. I'm getting better though and with each passing session I eliminate more unnecessary minutia," he sips his coffee. "On the plus side I spoke to Nathan, and he's given me permission to use Slag for a while."
T"SLAG is gonna play?" claps her hands excitedly, and then turns toward the camera. "Don't worry, you'll like him! He kills things, and sometimes he revives them just to kill them again. So what's that mean for the giants?"
O"Well, they're dead already and the Hydra is about to get gang-raped anyway. Besides, don't act like you're not going to make oversized chess pieces out of their teeth."
>Thez smiles a big toothy grin and giggles.
>OP continues to click away, comparing notes, stats, etc.
T"Um, since the Game reset, do I still have my record contract?"
O"No."
T"... But I might still get it back?"
O<sigh>
Basically, just me reviewing the thread and finding I can't literally advance the story because of where it ended, but working all the while to advance and develop the story in whatever way possible. Also, Thez was getting stiff.
>she's stretching right now.
>>1780Greetings, fellow gator.
Was the power out for that long?
>>17815 am Monday till 10 am Today.
Luckily the house is fine and so is my family so I really cant complain
>>1783Well fuck. That must've been uncomfortable.
>>1784Any amount of time without AC is very uncomfortable
>>1785Did you just type:
https://mlpol.net/mlpol/res/74327.html#74363Or is someone fucking with the system?
>>1786Mmmmaaaaaaaaayyyybbbbeeee
Why you askin?
>>1788Nah, just a friendly phonetic alphabet war
Also chekd'
Are we gonna have another cinematic period?
>>1790Of course, but I won't be available until after 10:30pst, I hope that's ok.
>>1792If it's just comfy cinematic mode, it can be any time.
>>1793Well, comfy in the sense that you won't die and the apparent threat is not really or lastingly a threat and can be illustrated in almost a dice-dependent green-text, yes. It will be spectacular though. ^_~
Alright, I'm a saucin' and I'm a writin'
>>1795Even with the very high temporary bump limit it's almost hit
Last I checked, bump limit was 450. I could be wrong, but I baked nu bread anyway (sorry if I ejaculated prematurely)
