Mixed Nuts - 'THAT' Pen and Paper RPG Thread

Quick Rundown:
This(these) thread(s) started as an experimental attempt to determine whether a D&D type game could be possible over an anonymous imageboard. The results have exceeded my wildest expectations. During the week, these threads consist of game meta discussion, shitposting, bants, and more shitposting. On the weekend its on, and its something far more intense than standard pen and paper; I'm still trying to figure out all the aspects and elements.
New players are welcome at any time, and with that let me tie up the previous questions.
>>13269
Nevermind that, I was trying to help you get the unicorn right away, but its gone now.
>>13270 →
First off, you're BOTH wrong. Its an Archmage, but no one outside the Archmage knows that so spoilers.
>>13279 →
>>13282 →
Just because a race or species is listed as 'Outsider' doesn't mean they cannot migrate to other planes/realms.
>inb4 Trump says something about going back or w/e
Additionally, these factions (there are many, above/beyond the ants) have been written into the story, have been there the whole time. The ants were part of all previous 'boots' of the story, and have had successful and beneficial relations with several iterations of the active party.
The travel ban on outsiders limits those who's home is/remains any of the outer planes from entering willfully OR being summoned from interally.
Meaning, it is impossible to summon foreign ants from their home plane, but one can readily interact with ants 'from' this plane.
>13285
>13286
The scroll will come up in the future, its relevance has to do with a particular location which will be obvious after inspection. As for the potato, I'm sure he will never be heard from again. Ever.

And with that, the Game continues.

Unfortunately, if the party is travelling w/ the pirates, they're in for a surprise. At the border of the ship, non-pirates are barred from entry.

What Slovenia was trying (failingly) to convey was that she knows most humans are dross. Meaning, most humans are glorified chattel. Meaning, most humans don't know a hole in the ground from the thumb up their ass.

Okay, everything is meshing together. Several individual arcs are combining, and players - though divergent etymologies - are finding commonality and consistency. This will continue as the party interacts with Korak's crew, and its not a consequential/bad thing. This was planned, it is a story element, and it will lead to parties being friends.
There will be a bit where Torcuil is a 'scarecrow' and has to take 'throwing knives', but there's always the entertron.

Trumpaladin is going to have to go more or less with just Inferius, because the other two party members couldn't be fucked to answer when called. I'm sure it will be, but Trumpaladin knows literally nothing about the location of the treasure except those teeny tiny bits he remembers Tracy talking about. He's going to have to assume that he and Inferius can make it alone.

Now what CAN be done, if the time before nightfall is long enough, is to take a platoon of soldiers from the Order of Football and the Order of Hitler's Knights, to the scene under the respective commands of Trumpaladin and Inferius. After all, if the treasure is large enough, it will take many people to haul.

But Trump must be present for the date at the football game

If it's going to be a really intense battle, and with GM's blessing, I would like to do the following two things:

First, take one of the pieces of Tracy's hair that I am sure are all over Trumpaladin's suit, then take a piece of copper wire. With these, cast DEMAND on Tracy. DEMAND is a contact/compulsion Charm domain spell that he should be able to access through "Devotion to a cause."

The suggestion and contact message will be "We are getting the treasure. Please come here and help your Flashy by killing shit in an incredibly edgy manner" you unbelievable fucking faggot

This is a contact spell that allows the message to be communicated regardless of water in the ears, spell resistance or whatever, although if she is in a different plane of existence, she has a 5% chance of it not getting through. So she would need to roll a 20 to not hear the message clearly AND be on a separate plane of existence when she receives it in order to not hear it.

It's also a mind control spell at the same time as a contact spell, and she'll need to succeed on a Will-based saving throw to prevent herself from being compulsively made to carry out the suggestion. Suggestions must be worded in a manner that makes the action sound reasonable and must be 25 words or less

With my remaining Charm based spell for the day, I will also cast DEMAND, this time on Tourcil. This is assuming I can get a strand of his hair, which is less likely, so I may have to go to his room and find a hair. Trumpaladin gives up on this if it takes too long.

The message and suggestion is worded as "We found the Jew Treasure. Please join Inferius and I as we go to retrieve it." As with Tracy, it is a telepathic spell, with a 100% chance of the message reaching him if he is on the same plane of existence and a 95% chance of it reaching him if he is not. Once again, it's a compulsion spell, so he has to succeed on a will-based negation in order to not be mind-controlled into carrying out the suggestion.

Both subjects would have the option of replying to the contact with a quick response regardless of the success of the mind-compulsion aspect of the suggestion, and both will know it is Trumpaladin. Should the GM find that a suggestion is "very reasonable," the target should suffer a -2 penalty on it's saving throw to avoid the compulsion to carry out the suggestion.

It takes ten minutes to cast, so Trumpaladin will not cast it on Tourcil if he walks through the door or if it is too much of a pain in the ass to get a strand of his hair.

On an unrelated note, I think I understand now why Korak thought I might do sketchy and evil magic shit with the Unicorn's hair lock
