1st item, the dice roll was a spot check to notice Posey hiding the sword, clearly a success. Brie can be said to have observed her hiding the sword (which wouldnt fit into saddlebags, it would jut out awkwardly no matter what like trying to fit a baseball bat in a small duffel. Idgaf about any whispering, or I'd have rolled a listen check).

2 he does this to somepony every game, good luck getting him to stop, we're at 6 years and counting

>Posey is opposite direction
Awfully convenient
Brie registers as neutral evil, and seems quite unabashed, almost expectant that you would see through any attempt to try to hide who he is. In fact, his demeanor while your scanning him seems almost placating.

Amber sits up in bed, drenched in sweat and trembling. That dream was nothing short of horrible, and she tries to get that music out of her head. She feels if she has a fever, as if that is the only thing that could explain such visceral terror and that unpleasant warmth.
Those ponies had actual names, and faces, and voices, and they seemed as real as herself. She struggled to remember the name of the singular city she heard, but she wasn't sure if it was real or a figment of her imagination. Wherever it was, it was in the distant north, though she never heard of ponies living that far north. Don't penguins and polar bears live up there? No matter, it would be best for her to forget. And yet, the mere possibility of that dream being real in some distant place sets her heart to aching for those poor ponies.
She shakily climbs out of bed, as if she was learning to walk again, and immediately prays for Luna to come back so all ponies would be guarded from such nasty dreams. She washes up, puts on a dress and a few choice belongings, and sets out to go to work. She is surprised to find 100 bits in her possession, being so used to being penniless at this point. It was an advance payment after all, so she'll have to make it last extra long until next payday. If there is time, she'll stop by a cheap diner before going to High Sewn's clothing shop–the exact name escapes her.

Allow me to clarify. Posts that are in quotations are speech, in character. If theres no quotations, it probably means it is not in character.

Typically, OOC posts are more direct and conceptual, whether questions or comments.
RP posts tend to be anything from story-form dialogue where:
"He said," she said, doing a thing before continuing "With more."
When one feels comfortable, they are encouraged to write short paragraphs (and more) describing things their character is doing in detail; it is an opportunity to add color and flavor to the scene/story, making increasingly memorable/gratifying experiences for everyone. It doesn't always go this way by necessity/efficiency, but it has it's time and place.
Alternately one can be succinct and brief with their descriptions, play how you're comfortable.
Alot of the time things that players want their character to do will require skill checks, and it isn't required that the player know in advance which skill check to make, though many players do more or less. Several players may seem to be needlessly spamming skill checks - including times where they claim boredom - but there is function in doing so even if it seems disruptive. I for example have made random skill checks without saying what it was for, and will DM the GM about what that roll meant for my character. Moreover, any time ANY character (PC or NPC) makes a bluff, sleight of hand, or any sort of attempt to conceal, any other observing player can make a spot check to notice.
Assuming that spot check succeeds - as it did - I could have rolled a sense motive check, but that wasn't what my character would do, he would simply observe and take notice of everything.
It can be alot to take in, but aside from how characters present themselves, as players we all want everyone to have a good time, including the GM who is expending extraordinary levels of autism and effort to make this happen consistently/regularly. More experienced players can offer suggestions and answer some questions in thread if advice/information is needed, but it always comes down to GM's decision/discretion even in the face of canon rules.
And let's also remember we're autistic retards ourselves - who don't always get along - and try to cut each other a little slack for the benefit of the GM and the other players. This is what is known as the RP Gamer's Contract, and while it can get overlooked, it is essential to having the best time possible.

Being a GM is all things:
Laborious, time/resource consumptive, often (though not entirely) thankless, but on a more experiential level it involves lulls and extremes of frustration, aggravation, irritation, personal demand, and in some cases (for a dozen reasons), heart-break.
Being a GM often means doing things to characters/players you wish you did not have to do, who you have grown to know and love as disting universes of their own actively participating in yours.

"Captain, are we to understand that the possible areas of conflict will be onboard the ship with the potential for wilderness engagement, depending on the response from Stalliongrad,... as well as any unexpected guests if we should come the ship was sabotaged, boarded, or otherwise attacked?" Brie says, raising an eyebrow and watching very carefully for any sign from the captain that he may know of a possible threat/problem he isn't letting on about.
Spot Check [1d20+8 = (4+8) = 12]
The spot check is based on the idea that if Brie's suspicions are true, there is a chance that the Captain's face will betray recognition of something, discernable to a sharp eye. Whether there is something or not, he's looking for it.
The captain - if there IS something he wants to keep concealed - will roll a bluff check to not reveal any recognition, as well as to deny/divert-from the question.
Having said, the GM won't want me to know if the captain is being honest or not, so will likey roll a bluff check regardless.

Also, a correction: GM will likely roll in person or elsewhere, so as to avoid my knowing whether the captain is being honest or not, as even if he succeeds on his spot check, only a follow up sense motive would give a better idea why anything might have been observed.

During active gaming including most/all players I tend to agree, once the mission gets going there will be a greater need to not disrupt gameplay and activity, but thats also why it seems positive to outline these things before we start, to potentially avoid having to do so as we go.

Moreover, it's fair to say that ooc is unwarranted when [i]anyone]/i] is playing, and it wasn't my intention to suggest otherwise. There is a case to be made that ooc could occurr during lulls and periods of inactivity, and I would appreciate a clarification as to what GM/everyone prefers, though this will be my last such post unless specifically warranted.
Brie continues: "The only disqualifier I'm aware of with using a boat token - at least exclusively - is that such things tend to be rather identifyingly distinct and easy to target by a suitably competent Unicorn spell-caster. Our priimary mission being rescue, it would put us in quite the predicament if halfway through our escape the ship was dispelled and we found ourselves suddenly struggling against a current, potentially with guns drawn on our position. I maintain the use of a Bird token rather than or alongside a boat token - assuming either/both are available - so that at the very least we can extract all personnel, absolving us of the liability of baby-sitting - no offense Captain - until we can ourselves extract.
Yes, I realize I mixed up the 3.5e bird token with the 5e bird token, and if pressed in convo I can make a 4th wall break comedy bit about it
>>178652
I forgot about the bird feather token. It's probably a safer bet than the divine scroll of animal messenger, if only because it's still usable if Kira is killed.
The combined cost of the swan boat and the bird tokens is 750 gp: the cost of a single lvl 1 wand. If we take it out of the reward, we can split the cost evenly. Let's do that.
Gosh, I love feather tokens.
>>178622
Rosey Ring approaches Shoal Waters and proposes her intent to buy the items mentioned above, to improve the chance of success for the mission. She requests to take the money for the items out of the reward for the quest. To ensure that she doesn't just run off with the money, she offers to leave him her special vampire-slaying sword (which, for the record, is worth more than a grand house), as collateral.
"I believe that these items would strongly improve our chance of success, and more importantly our chance of returning home alive. If we find we don't need them, we may simply return them."

Perhaps it might also be worthwhile explaining to Kira why it would be useful to have one of her spells be Animal Messenger.

She has yet to prepare them, as she didn't know what spells would be needed and I forgot until recently that Ragners do indeed have magic. She already has a couple ideas in her mind for what spells to use, and having input from another creature may prove useful.

"Agreed, though none of this is to suggest that either resource - if available - would be undesired, and if indeed collateral is required," he shoots the captain a look as if to imply that "I really hope you arent expecting us to finance that level of resource ourselves" before continuing verbally, "then perhaps we can negotiate with the prize money; In any case, the first question is if."
*smiles in (dc 1 sense motive check) knowing his smoke grenades just became a whole lot smaller of an ask*

Alright, I can see why you recommended these two spells together. Lay of the Land would give Kira all of the knowledge of the island's geography she could need in order to make Animal Messenger work to its fullest. Of course I'm still a bit confused as to why Animal Messenger is the requested spell, unless the idea is that Kira can be sent ahead as a scout to find the opposing Stalliongrader patrol and can send a field mouse or something similar back to the party with their location, heading, strength, and equipment written down on a small piece of paper. There are also other options for spells to be considered that could be useful to the party in a combat scenario, such as Summon Nature's Ally or Entangle.
It should also be stated that while she does have 3 slots, only 2 will be available because one of the three will be taken up by Endure Elements. Kira may be warm blooded unlike regular snakes, but she is still entirely unused to freezing temperatures and she has no warm weather clothing like a nice comfy sock or what have you.

>why Animal Messenger is the requested spell
Because then we could use a seagull to call for help in case our radio fails.
It's just a suggestion though.
Lay Of The Land is just nice to have in general.
>Entangle
Always great battlefield control.
>Summon Nature's Ally
I have summoning spells. You don't need to prepare any.
Speaking of animal allies, where is your animal companion? Did you trade it for an ACF?
>Endure Elements
Fine selection, but you already have Endurance as a bonus feat, don't you? I think you'll pass most saves vs cold.

Hmm, an interesting use for the spell, though I'm not sure Kira can find a morsel easily enough that a seagull would like to eat.
>summoning spells
It's true that Posey has summoning spells, but something tells me her summoning giant demonic amoebas that have a chance of turning against the party may cause characters to get weirded out, unlike if Kira summoned a wolf or something similar.
>animal companion
It didn't seem like an appropriate feature for a lamia to have an animal companion, so I asked the GM if I could have an extra point to spend on Kira's abilities instead.
>Endurance
Yeah, it's one of the first class features Rangers get, but as I understand it she would still be exceptionally cold and miserable. Passing the saves would basically just her avoiding freezing to death. Something tells me the lamia would prefer to not have to deal with the cold at all if it can be helped, she's not like Silver who's half snowpony or Posey who's undead.
Also, since we're still waiting on the GM pone to return...once Kira is set down again by Free Rover, she slithers up to the chain-adorned mare.
Kira: "So...how do you train to resist landmines? Is it like that saying where 'what doesn't kill you makes you stronger'? Did you find a field of landmines and stepped on them one by one to build up your immunity to them? Did you ever get exploded, like bwoosh?" The lamia spreads her legs out to enhance the impact of her mouth-made sound effect. "Not like being regular blown up, like actually exploded, with body parts flying here, there, and everywhere. If you got exploded, how did you manage to get put back together? Is it possible to use unicorn magic to put someone back together after they've exploded?"

Just placing little notes on the legs of mundane pigeons and having them fly. Or using colored smoke from grenades. Or flag signals. Or flare guns. Or having Kira's deer slave serve as a runner.

Posies's Puppies are not demonic. They are just congealed blobs of metaphysical hunger and insanity.
I can also summon skeletons and zombies. That might have similar effect though.
We have a pretty big party. Idk if we'll need summons for anything other than to trigger traps.

Kira has no real reason to think Rosey is lying, and as such the lie goes uncontested. She looks at her with an intense curiosity evidenced by her big lamia eyes. Her tongue flicks out of her mouth, causing her to scrunch at another taste in the air she's apparently picking up.
"No as in you've never been exploded or no as in unicorn magic can't put someone back together after they've exploded? Also, how have you reinforced your body with magic? Is it like the thing you did with the cutie mark you gave me? I don't see any markings on you, but I guess you're wearing all of that chain armor. And how do you ignore caltrop wounds? Those have to hurt stepping on them with your hooves! It makes me glad for my snake tail, it's pretty sturdy when it comes to sharp pokey things on the ground and I can always just zig zag around stuff. Well, normally I could, I'm not sure how easily I can with this big ol' goal inside me."

"No as in you've never been exploded or no as in unicorn magic can't put someone back together after they've exploded? Also, how have you reinforced your body with magic? Is it like the thing you did with the cutie mark you gave me? I don't see any markings on you, but I guess you're wearing all of that chain armor. And how do you ignore caltrop wounds? Those have to hurt stepping on them with your hooves! It makes me glad for my snake tail, it's pretty sturdy when it comes to sharp pokey things on the ground and I can always just zig zag around stuff. Well, normally I could, I'm not sure how easily I can with this big ol' goal inside me."

>Explain
I fucked up. It was actually called spiritual guide:
https://srd.dndtools.org/srd/classes/baseCore/ranger.html#spiritual-guide
One of the several ACFs rangers can trade their companion for.
It's not much for combat, but great utility. Commune With Nature 1/day is nice at lvl 5.
The only reason I don't take it on my Ranger builds is because I prefer Mystic Ranger, which doesn't get an animal companion and delays most features, but has much faster spell progression.
Combat-wise, Solitary Hunting is great (adds FA bonus to attack rolls), but I find it boring.
Utility Wise, Urban Companion, which gives a familiar instead of an Animal Companion, is great for skilled classes Rangers who are most likely to use their companions as scouts anyway. It's actually stronger than most familiars because it has higher HP.
An ability score boost is nice too though.
>how have you reinforced your body with magic?
"It's complicated unicorn stuff. I could explain it, but you wouldn't understand."
Rosey Ring is evasive, she's already said too much. Also the GM threatened to nerf me earlier, so I'm going to stop flexing.

Oh yeah.
Gloomy was left at Silver's house. You said there were other foals there. What are they like?
Gloomy, unless approached, would keep to himself. He's rather shy. He's also rather... Creepy. He busies himself drawing weird symbols with the crayon in his mouth.

Hmm, interdasting.
Kira's ears fold down, and she pouts. "Oh. Okay..." She sounds a bit sad and/or disappointed. Perhaps Posey could make it up to her (and move the conversation away from herself) by asking about her, her tribe, or lamias as a whole, since Posey seemed to show an interest in the knowledge that there's an entire tribe of lamias like her.
If Silver is asked about the other foals at his house, he would respond thusly:
Silver: "There are two, both orphaned. I am caring for them now, sort of like foster parent, and I would like to adopt them if state would allow it. Unfortunately state for some reason has little faith in single fathers' ability to raise foals. Anyways, those foals have...well, I will not get into it now, but they have been through lot. More than any foal should have gone through. White Orchid is bit older. He has expressed interest in camping, boating, and he seems to love being outdoors. Usually if I can not find him in house, he is outside looking out across water. Mint Marine is younger by couple of years. He likes reading, and shows much interest in marine biology. Devil whales are one of his favorite sea creatures, and he also gets along famously with Mala. Just this morning I saw Mint and Mala sharing same bed. I can tell you both like candy very much, and they are definitely looking for chance to live normal lives as part of family."

Free Rover crouches, looking at Kira
"It's okay. You can come back to me."
He extends a leg and beckons her over

"So... You are a type of naga, am I correct?"

Rosey Ring doesn't care, but I was asking ooc because I thought I might want to RP Gloomy for a bit

Kira beckons Free Rover to come over to her instead. If he does, Kira gets back on him, draped across his shoulders as she was, and continues conversing with Rosey.
Kira: "Well, I've heard my deer friend Neela call me a 'nagini', while sounds a lot like 'naga'. Maybe it's her people's name for us? She's one of those Hindi deer that live in the mountains to the north of my tribe. I forget what her specific group of deer is called, though. I'm going to say yes, but we usually just call ourselves lamias. Maybe one of the other types of lamias call themselves nagas, though."

Ahhhhhhh. This would be a good question to ask GM pone then, as he would know far more in depth about the two colts.

Hey! That's my potential bone naga! You can't just drag her away.
Counter yoink. Tug of war.
[1d20+7 = (15+7) = 22]
