Welcoming new players, and raping welcoming back the old ones, itt continuing the RP Game threads. It's largely classic D&D 3.5e, but only as a baseline of rules and details and such. With every session something gets tweaked, added, pissed on, or thrown out the fucking window. We're right now introducing a new character, so anyone interested is welcome to follow along.

>>17060"Please forgive me if your answer does not inspire confidence.
We tried two weeks ago, all of us together as a group, to make her patterns of behavior more amenable to working in a group. We asked her to stop stealing and to stop lying. I made a contract with her and had her agree to stop lying to me, stealing from me, and stop attacking my associates. Associates like Inferius. And what has she done over that two weeks? Stabbed, stolen, and probably lied to us. We've tried diplomacy before. It does not work.
Now what do you mean that Marking her will "only create resentment." No. That pony loves almost nothing, and she is afraid of losing almost nothing. But there is one thing she would miss if it were lost. Her ability to move freely. We can threaten to take that away from her - automatically - if she stabs us or steals from us again. Now, with a paladin and a cleric - and maybe a Wizard - all casting the spell on a restrained Tracy, we can cover a wide area of behavior. No more stabbing, no more stealing - you name it. She'll have a genuine reason not to do it now.
But besides Mark of Justice - we also can "quest" her. Cast a geas. Make her stop in a more forcible manner.
Now please, help, or stand aside"

>>17061>>17066"Also this. I tried to do something more than be a friend - to be a father for her foal. What did I get? Charged at, then stalked, then kicked."
If you'll all calm down, I promise that if you can JUST get through this next fight, I've developed a solution to everyone's concerns and issues.
I can also guarantee that you're probably not going to like it. ^_^
>>17070REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I'm still upset for losing muh personal army with Korak
"Tracy,... can I see that quiver for a moment?" Thez asks, oblivious to what is going on, cuz GM can't make heads or tails of it anyway.
>>17073"But of you want to see it, then you must want it because there is something of value. But if its valuable, then why would she relinquish it? So good luck getting her to give it to you"
>>17075"Oh, I could easily take it by force, and Bob knows where her sekret lair is anyway (he was tailing her the WHOLE time),... I'm just being polite!" ^_^
>>17077"Bob is the ethereal green composite bow that follows Tracy around."
>>17079>calling someone else a traitor>>17076"Any chance we can get Bob to share more info?"
>>17079"Thanks!" She pulls the garter out, keys in white, purple, purple, and 2nd purple, and a small pocket opens between the two white stones, from which she produces the Emerald Tablet and the Chaos Diamond (its a diamond btw, not an emerald). She then places the garter back in the side pocket, and produces the Disguise Mask.
If either items are not in the quiver, she'll divert to a different course of action, but assuming they are, that's what she does before giving the quiver back.
>>17080"Nope, he's my shadow-friend, one of the perks of being a Shadow Dancer. We can communicate implicitly, even though shadows can't ordinarily speak," she looks around at the inevitable lack of comprehension. "You didn't think Bob was the
bow did you? No, he's the shadowy essence that surrounds the bow."
>tfw built an entire fucking dungeon for the sole purpose of keeping tortured enemies and trophies from their bodies, but now I realize all these salty white-knights are going to get on my case all the time about something that was supposed to be sekrit
>>17065>>17067Finally
The faggots arrive
>>17073Hell, hell is going on
Torc goes to play fetch with Mr. Snek before he states the stats of snek
>>17083>white-knightsI prefer the term tartan-knight
"What else should I know?"
"The bow is a Ghost-Touch (weightless, and able to be interacted with by ethereal creatures) Oathbow I picked up while venturing through the Abyss. Apparently some elven kingdom had been cast into the Abyss, and everyone had been killed. All that remained of the kingdom was a poor retarded elf-prince who had died defending the women and children. The women and children had died to, but of suicide rather than being slaughtered by infernals. That young boy was so resolute on protecting them that he had remained as a ghost, and used his newfound abilities to confuse, distract, and infuriate the demons long enough for the last of the elves drink their kool-aid and peacefully pass from the wretched existence that had been forced upon them. It was very sad, but I played a game with him that allowed him the chance to be the hero again and to finally comprehend that his duty had been done and so he finally passed on."
"I kept the bow, and later on when,... Bob became how he is, we found that he could operate it as a shadow. The rope is the only thing he can't touch, but since he only has one arrow, I attached it to the bow so he can retrieve and reuse it."
>>17087Is Secret
>>17088"Wow... That's... That's a lot"
>>17091"Yeah,... he had an incredible spirit (no pun intended), that boy. I don't know how long he had stayed there, but the castle was long in ruins, and still he maintained his post. I was glad to help him along," she smiles, but sniffs a bit.
>tfw confused, distracted, and infuriated
[angry nightmare noises]
Nice sob-story, stick-thrower.
>>17092"So you enslaved him as a helper?"
>>17094Kek
>>17093"We will help you sleep"
[1d20 = 3]>>17094>perfect grapple"Um,... what're you doing I'nis?"
T>stunning fist
>>17096>rolled a three"Please refrain from attacking Inferius. He knows
precisely what he is doing"
>>17098You don't know Thez' base attack bonus. She's level 48.
Infernius is stunned, and releases Tracy.
>>17101"Do you have any idea what's been going on?"
>>17097*Spray bottles pony*
"Bad pony"
As Infernius regains mobility, Thez hands the quiver back to Tracy (the mas WAS in the side pocket, yes?). "Thanks, that was all I needed."
She puts the mask on but on top of her head, not over her face.
>>17102Technically,
I have no idea what's going on. I'm just making sure that Thez has back what will be needed for the fight. There is a reason she hinted to Tracy to go after the nerd, after all.
>>17103I don't remember taking it off, but she would've put it back.
>>17105Well, I remember you saying you had no interest in it at point, so I assumed. I could send her off to dig through your sekret lair if its not,....
Thez joins the grapple, and together she and Infernius easily detain Tracy.
"There. Carry on then!"
Thez <whooofs> away to talk to Lenos.
"Thez, this psycho has stabbed Inferius three times - maybe 4 - stabbed Tourcil, stolen our loot - twice. Lied to us, kicked me - twice. In general she's been nothing but malevolent to this group and corrosive to its cohesion. We find out just now that she has a sort of torture dungeon? We have reason not to trust her, and we believe we can fix her"
>>17109"Well... that was unexpected. Shackle her by the way"
>>17106I was referring to the mask: she would've put it back.
[2d20 = 29]>>17112K, then it played out as I depicted.
1st one is for Infernius, 2nd is for Tracy. Its a strength check to see if Tracy can break free.
