I CAN’T GO BACK. But I can create and I can play with my marionettes. Though I sleep, I can dream. And in my dreams, I can mold. And if you ponies do not like what I can create, I can try to make this world like what I knew.

From behind, Amber can hear a muffled voice. It’s Father
“Kultainen, come back. And don’t breathe the air. I should have gone directly to the Inspector. I was unwilling to own up to my mistakes. No more. I am going straight to the Inspector at Kaukainen Piste, and then we are going to Everfrost for somepony who can fix this. May the Central Council forgive our transgressions. We are going to go get Pakkasen. And, Kultainen, when this is all done, we are leaving to the city. Let’s go. The air is dangerous. It’s bad enough we need to be worried about bears.”

Well, I really shouldn't be telling people about my soy mission, but...
"I've been staying with some contacts I have in the city. I'm aiming to purchase a place for my son and I to stay in while I work at the university, and maybe a new magic cape and research equipment as well. I prefer to stay independent."

What's her racial bonus? I wasn't aware that unicorns get a charisma bonus, unless if I'm wrong.
>tfw charisma penalty as griffon

Cavaliere turns to Kira with a serious expression. "I really do believe you are a gentle creature. On this mission we will be fighting actual ponies, not too different from the ones you are befriending now. There is a very high likelihood that you will have to take one's life. I can tell you have never done so before, but will you be ready for it?"

I’ve been watching you constantly roll for… pretty much everything, and not always for some actual gameplay benefit but “because you are bored.” And certainly half the dice rolls were not asked for. Why does another player rolling for bluff in conversation annoy you?

I am considering making you reroll for stats in full view if everyone.

"They're not yours to play with! Already because of you I won't be able to stay here, and you will ruin all our lives this way! You are…you are a fiend! An evil spirit! Horrible!"

Silver: "Contacts huh? Would you or they mind if I visited sometime? It is not very often I come across creature as interesting as you just by happenstance, I would like to learn more about you and your story. Not to say rest of creatures in this room are not also interesting, but I met you before meeting anyone else here. Gloomy may like having visitor as well, I am quite good with foals."

Kira looks at Cavaliere for a moment, before looking away bashfully. She takes the end of her tail between her hooves, and rubs it between them. Her tongue flicks out, her snout scrunching at a weird smell it seems to pick up. "I...I know. But it's something I must do. I have to, I have to be ready. My tribe depends on me getting an audience with the governor, and this mission will get me the needed reputation to meet with him. Don't worry, if it does come to combat...I'll fight with you all."

If Rosey is concerned about the reasons for Silver requesting a visit, or is concerned about what he would do if he knew the truth about her, you can make a Sense Motive check if you wished. Alternatively, if you desired that Silver makes a Diplomacy check, all you need to do is say so.

Cavaliere gives that subtle smile that griffons are capable of, and he nods with appreciation. "I am sure we can count on you. I usually prefer working alone, but in this case going as a group, or in two groups, might be our best option."

>>178540
>>178546
I'm in the camp of secret rolls for when they're appropriate, like bluff rolls. But that requires coordination with the DM to pull off. Otherwise, if you fail a sense motive check your character will believe a bluff but you, the player, will know the opposite is true. That creates a kind of disconnect between IC and OOC which gets annoying.

Also, I'm pretty sure the rulebook says that crazy claims like "bat AIDS" would require an almost unattainable roll to convince another, like 35 or something.

Opponents get bonuses to their Sense Motive checks if the lie is absurd:
>The bluff is hard to believe or puts the target at significant risk: +10
>The bluff is way out there, almost too incredible to consider: +20
It depends how absurd you determine the "horoscopes cause low sperm-count" rumor to be.
>I'm in the camp of secret rolls for when they're appropriate, like bluff rolls.
I am of the camp as well. It's how I DM. Other systems enforce it more strictly.

We already clarified that Diplomacy doesn't work on PCs. I'm not going to make you roll for stuff. Let's just roleplay.
>If Rosey is concerned about the reasons for Silver requesting a visit
OOC, she's concerned with compromising her mission and/or endangering/inconveniencing/upsetting her shelter contact, because she's a spy.
>"If that is what you wish, but I feel like you have me at disadvantage here. You got to see where I live today, and got to meet with some of creatures in my household. Your son is even being foalsat there."

Awww. I was kinda hoping Silver would get to meet with Lament and all of them. I imagine they could have had some interesting conversations. Admittedly Day Low Rain would probably not be super thrilled to see him, but still...

Silver: "Alright then, keep your secrets." He adds a chuckle at the end of it, showing that he's not super stressed about it.

Idk, I just expected the paladin to try to cast Detect Evil at some point which could lead to party conflict, so I wanted to avoid that by sorting it out now.

Wait, that was you? Oh yeah, she would probably have a bone to pick.
I'm still trying to level up so I can cast Unliving Identity or Create Undead to make her Sister into a Living Zombie or Juju Zombie, so maybe he can apologize to her afterwards.

Yeah, wasn't Rosey paying attention when Silver gave his introduction? He mentioned that his latest mission was Hoebuck, and that he helped lead the team that was responsible for the raid. I figured Rosey would take that nugget of information and file it along with Silver under "ponies of interest".

Amber glares at the two of them and berates them. "Your 'Seraph' spoke to me and I know now that he's lying to you. He admitted he doesn't understand our world, yet he wants to change it and destroy our way of life. Do you know what he called you? 'Marionettes.' He doesn't even regard you as ponies."

You're a new arrival but it's obvious to all players that she's undead and evil aligned. Also, we don't need drama in our DnD group so please leave that at the door. It just stresses you out, the DM for having to wrangle everypony, and everypony else for having to read through it while waiting for something interesting. I know this happened several posts ago, but I don't want it to happen again because it just makes things unpleasant.

I get you, and I'll act accordingly. I'm going to try to avoid gumming up the thread with posts until the mission actually starts. I'll still participate in roleplay when my character is addressed, but I'm going to turn my attention elsewhere for the time being.
