OOC: It's probably (definitely) not a good idea to waste all of our spell slots on things that are absolute non-issues before we even get to Manehattan, much less Mended Horn.

To clarify, Zone of Truth would bind every player speaking (who wilfully fails their saving throw) to not go against anythingbthey said during the spell (cuz otherwise it would be false).
There are exceptions for people pushing their will save, but I argue that a willful save could be detected by a spot and/or sense motive check.
The point is, ooc, Im not gonna try to kill anyone, Im not gonna try and double cross anyone. Brie's backstory is BUILT off surviving a double cross.

Zone of Truth, plz

We already established that the Cleric has already prepared all of his spell slots without leaving them open, which means that he would need to wait until next dawn to prepare that spell, by then the Marines would have already frozen to death. We don't have that magic on hand, and even if we did that would make it one less spell slot to heal and buff the party. If you want it that bad, go buy a scroll of it with your own gold, and then ask the Cleric to cast it for you.
This is unnecessary. You could just make your character pretend to be trustworthy and not act suspicious and weird.

"Magic isnt my forte, but truth spells (can speak from experience) are very unforgiving in many cases. You can avoid resisting the spell and be observed NOT resisting.
Lets go with that one.
Additionally there are contract spells, the latter of which would be to complicated to procure at such an odd time.

Dust looks between the unicorn, the cheese bat, and back and forth a few times. He sighs
"Since I have arrived you have been at each other's throats
And had the attitude of a bloated goat
Over your problems I shall not dote
You cannot seem to get along,
And your disagreements ring a clanging gong.
If it is not that you two cannot find peace
Like kirin I will make you until your bickers seize."
With that, he picks up his equipment, slings it over his back, and slowly plods to the truck.

Seriously dude? Seriously.
I did everything in my power to be part of the party, in spite of the nature of my character.
I buffed party members with my limited resources, to show them Rosey was supporting them.

Rosey Ring draws her fancy +2 alchemical silver longsword
"I've been looking to see this, to find my research. It's served me well to slay monsters: the kind that refuse to die. They're not so common in these lands though." She says, wistfully
"If you would be interested in buying it, I would allow you to use it for today, as a trial test. I think you might find it very reliable."

She says, levitating the only handheld weapon that could reliably kill her, hilt first.

Silver takes the sword in his magic by the hilt and looks over the offered weapon. He sees how it handles, gives it a couple of light swings (not in Posey's direction), and examines it in detail. "Hmm...good craftsponyship, superb balance. Alchemical silver is difficult to make and even more difficult to work. Not many smiths know how to forge even simple dagger out of material, let alone entire longsword. I must say it does not...exactly, go with your current ensemble, if that is why you are selling it. Though I am curious if you are asking if I wish to rent this sword, or if you are asking if I want to try it out before I commit to buying it?"

Hey, it's been a while since Silver got the sword. I can't remember every detail of every item in the game.

I suppose though this means Posey has more incentive to keep Silver on her good side. Silver has arguably an even better weapon than her longsword for killing undead.

The striped fellow raises an eyebrow at necrologist, and the implication of having using necromancy. It almost looks as if he might reach for a weapon for a fleeting moment, but he decides against it before continuing to slowly plod to the truck. He mutters to himself.
Posey has definitely marked herself in Dust's eyes though, she might want to watch herself.

Second, your character is affected by mind-affecting spells. If you want to say she isn't, we can set your character's Intelligence to 0 and adjust her skills and character sheet accordingly.

Second, rolls are not secret from the GM

Now that we can get to business...

All of the creatures get into the truck. Shoal Water gets into the front. Mala gets in and sits near Silver, but is less averse to Kira now. He examines the short sword.

The truck drives through town and to the edge. At some point, it comes to a fenced off area that has a guard booth. The truck is allowed through, and onto a field with pavement. There are a few buildings adjacent to it, but it's not a big facility.

They are let out of the truck.

There are about three single prop planes with blue paint. Posey may recognize them as of the same variety, and likely including the same plane, as the trainer she saw in the swamps further south.

"Oh no. Not one of those. The Skytrotter. To the right."

It's a twin prop aircraft with a slightly rounded nose, a long fuselage with quite a few windows, an open door with stairs that fold out near the tail, and a green paint scheme. It has insignia of two horseshoes opposed to each other behind the door and before the empennage. It's engines are already on.

Kira seems a bit disturbed by Cavaliere's description of an accident, but Silver helps to keep her calm and promises to sit next to her. Having a strong pony like Silver nearby seems to help keep her cool and composed. Silver looks back to Mala.

Silver: "Come on, Mala, it is time to fly."

Silver and Kira head for the plane, with Silver getting on first and helping Kira up second. They sit together towards the back of the plane.

Kira replies with "g'day!" with a giggle as she copies the pony's accent. Silver has a chuckle at this and nods his greeting at the pony. Kira looks at the netting in teh cargo area, and wonders if she can repurpose some of it as a sort of seat belt to keep her from sliding about in the passenger area. She's got a lot less friction on these sorts of hard surfaces than ponies, after all.

In addition, seeing the seating arrangements, Kira is still more than willing to lend her tail as a more comfortable bench seat for the party members.

Silver: "We are still getting our supplies, Brie, it just means we are getting them in Manehattan rather than getting them here."

Cavaliere is a bit surprised by this. "Your superiors won't come down on you for that?"

"Would you happen to be our pilot? I'm not sure how much the Captain has briefed you, but I am sure he has given us the best available."

20d6 is the maximum fall damage you can take.

The pegasus pilot says,
"Woah Woah. We've had enough planes explode in mid air to know better than to allow passengers to just carry suspicious packages onto a plane without checking them first."

>>178976

"Oh yeah, I'm pilot for this flight. We'll be going to Manehattan, offloading some cargo and refueling, then off to Trottingham Naval Base, which is our final destination."

Brie looks off into a direction. Almost a direction one would expect a camera to be positioned, except there isnt one.
"I dont want to HAVE to kill this pony," he says out loud

"We'll just have to make sure Brie doesn't rob the base armory of its claw grenades." He looks askance at Brie before turning back to the pilot.

"Trottingham is close to the Stalliongrad border, isn't it?"

"What do you say chat? Should I kill this bat? Let's set the donor goal at 1000 bits."

Pilot:
"You know as well as I do that the former Governor of Manehattan was killed when his plane exploded three months ago. It was a bomb, and it was on a plane just like this one. I ain't here to get blown up. I'm here to fly the plane."

>>178983
Cavaliere would perceive that Posey never rolled a will save throw and therefor couldn't have done that bullshit.

Pilot:
"Yeah, somewhat. Don't worry, we will keep east of it. But if you see Stalliongradian fighters out the windows, let us know."

Silver: "AHEM!" Silver clears his throat loudly at the two bickering creatures, looking at them both with a glare before looking right at Brie. "I am trying to convince Kira that air travel is just as safe as sea travel, and making mention of killing our pilot is not helping."

I believed myself to be immune. I wouldn't have done that if I had known I wasn't.

I'm going to open up Terrors Of The Deadlands and check out the "no immunity to mind affecting" undead weakness to check what its offset was. Then I'll adjust my sheet accordingly.

Magehold is scrying on her through her necrotic cyst. They seem to mostly just demand that she fucks or kills more priests.

Okay…
Though, besides the suspiciously specific denials, some of which are not even related to necromancy, she mentioned not prostituting herself for magic favors, and immediately started seducing a cleric. Quite odd, but I'll play along.

>>178991
No, he means he didn't see her struggle to lie. There's a difference.

"If their fighters crossed the border, we would have worse things to worry about than what we need to do," he replies plainly. "You've done the pre-flight checks? We need to be on our way immediately."

No. No. No. Fuck no.

Your Character is already Powergamed bullshit that I'm 90% sure you cheated on the ability scores for and which multiple players have complained about. Which I have complained about. I'm not adding "Immune to all mind affecting magic" to that list of bullshit superpowers.
