Thankfully for Silver, he's in enough pain from the harpoon having been shoved into his shoulder and pulled back out again that he hardly notices the ringing in his ears and the trickles of blood running down the sides of his head.

Ah, Heather was the filly. I thought it was the mare. ^^

Do you need something? The filly's voice repeats in her head, bouncing around.

She shakes her head.

"Yeah, maybe a towel. But I intend to train a bit before any potential sermons. Are there any sermons today? Maybe, I'll just dry off after training so that we don't need several towels."

Silver switches targets, targeting the yeth hound with first an overhead strike then a thrust with his greatsword.

Overhead: [1d20+12 = (5+12) = 17]
Thrust: [1d20+7 = (4+7) = 11]

Kira, meanwhile, makes a beeline for the red griffon wearing the crown, and makes a touch attack to attempt a grapple.

Red is in the middle, physically surrounded by Kira. Silver is in front of red. Posey is to the right of Silver. Yellow is to Red's side, kind of near Brie, but in perfect stabbing distance all the same from Posey, evidently

Black is in the stairwell on the far side of the cabin from Brie. He is stunned this round and not able to move. Because both Brie and Black are kind of "behind" Red, Posey, and the like, he kind of does have an unobstructed line of approach, save for the edge of the stairwell and the almost 15 feet of distance.

Ponies with a familiarity in History: Martial Arts will recognize the technique Brie just performed as being the "Himeru Kyuu", or "Cloaker Coffin", a traditional technique of Kyushin-Ryu jiu jitsju. If going for the kill, he would instead opt for the lesser known "Himeru Ansatsu", or "Cloaker Assassination".
The Himeru technique is specific to bats, involving the wings to mimic the grasping capacity of the indigenous subterranean creature.

It depends if it's summoned (in which case it should disappear if it's summoner is incapacitated)
Or called (in which case it would actually die when killed).
If it's a called creature, it could be helpful to use on our adventure, if we treat it well.

Vir smiles back.

Vir walks over to the place where Heather indicates and lowers herself slowly down on her belly. She then extends her right front hoof and right hind leg away from her body to the right. She leans downwards on her right side so the head is tipped off but then she rolls over onto her left side and catches the head smoothly with her hooves like shellfish clam. She then stands up and lets the head lay there.

Vir pouts as she sees the head is still grimy, she tries to clean it a bit more as rubs it off with her hoof. Getting some of the grim on the fur of her hoof instead.

She blinks as she remember.

"By the way, I found it on the bottom of the Delabear River near one of its bridge's pillars. There was a saddlebag next to it... And a pair of glasses bu-but I doubt... Could that been related to, somehow or..?" Vir trails off.

"If like a filly you will act
Like a yearling we will treat
Your strategies require more tact
You need to know when to retreat
And that into combat you cannot just leap
Unless you want us all to fall into eternal sleep."
>>180774
Dust plods on over to Silver and carefully sniffs at his shoulder wound, he then looks up at Silver
"Reservations?
Misgiving?
I apologize for my actions
But with your permission
As we continue this mission
I'd like to keep you among the living."
Dust gently raises a hoof that begins to dully glow, he seems to be asking for permission to heal

Silver smiles at the zeeb. "I saw what you were trying to do. My hearing is not so happy with it, but it could have worked." He grunts in pain and exertion, looking down at the terrible wound left behind from the harpoon being shoved into his shoulder and then yanked out again, staining his flak jacket. "Normally I would turn you down, saying that others need help more than me...but I can not lie...this really hurts..."

Vir's clenched teeth relaxes as another memory displays itself before her. This one painted in a warm orange-yellow color entering from a nearby window during dawn. A unicorn mare with a blue coat and purple fluffy mane with silvery tips, lets her blue magic crochets tablecloth with two big metal needles. She smiles down at her from her seat as she notices her arrival.

"Did you want something, Virgin..."~

Vir looks over at Heather. She forces back feelings as she blinks a few times. She licks lips again.

"Somepony, at my monastery. My... A nun, mother Justeney. I thought she was the smartest pony. She used to say, 'It's the small kindness that you do, not the big that you promise that matters.' I feel, like these ponies probably tell themselves that their goal is good so that they do these hurtful things to others is then also good," Vir almost whispers.

And yet, with her chest fluff exposed in an attempt to sexually harass Dust, her body seems mostly unharmed, with only two small creases in her fur where the knife pierced her chest.

Posey's ears droop, and she steps away, still holding the sea crown.

Silver: "Thank you very much, Dust."

Kira: "Ooooooooooooooooo!" Now it's Silver's turn to be poke poked by the noodle.

Thankfully, Silver already knows that Posey is cursed, and as such is less worried about this revelation than perhaps Posey is worried about. Kira, for her part, is more amazed by Posey's resiliency than anything else, and would continue to poke poke Posey's chest if it wasn't for her currently poke poking Silver's shoulder.

Then he can tell that there's something deeply fucked up and evil about Posey's physiology and that she's keeping a horrible secret.
In hindsight, it might have something to do with the blood vomit and convulsions from earlier.
And now that he looks at it, her chest doesn't appear to be beating like a heart, but more like it's throbbing erratically.
I think at this point you're entitled to a spot check.

Vir undresses and places the bundle of cloth that is her worn cloak on the floor before stepping into the open area.

She starts to run in place. Then she courches down before jumping higha few times. Feeling her breath now and some warmth in her joints. It wasn't hard to fan the engine since she'd already exerted herself while during the dip in Delamare river. She cringes a little, remembering that she called it the Delabear river during her talk with Heather.

Soon she's on the ground again. Doing some muscle exercises like push-ups and sit-ups but a pony version of that.

After really pushing herself to the limit with those exercises, she pants in tempo with any rock song, feel the sweat pour out across her body. Do ponies sweat? Searches. Apparently, so.It washes away the amoebas on her forehead, darken her vanilla-coffee-like fur in random huge patches, and makes her the immense volume of her vine-gummy red mane stick to her neck and flatten out.

Next up is the main course. Practicing her: Protective stances against imaginary opponents, punches and kicks, flips and rolls, and heavy attacks (full body swing kicks).

This takes about an hour and a half, and after this she finds herself laying on her side panting on repeat as stomach expands and collapses.

She can channel the flashes of pain that her visions of the past brings into her training to push her slightly more, however, she doesn't do this willingly, since it increases her desire for a drink. That too can be used to further push her in her training but again, the fallout of doing so is that now whatever pride she had about not asking for is all but gone.

>You all figure out what you want to have happened.
I think it's fair to seduce that Silver knocked the crown off of Posey's head as it was going to possess her.
>>180878
I really, really, really do want to keep the crown. I believed this could have been a pivotal moment in Posey's character development. She wouldn't put it on again, but instead keep it for study in the hopes that she could truly wear it some day.

Blowing it up with the airship components was my original plan for what Silver would want done with it, as I don't think there's a Curse Purge Plus or anything like that that can remove the cursed aspect of the crown. I know you really want Posey to have it, but there will be more opportunities to get safer, better loot, and the crown really is just too dangerous for anyone to have. Besides, this can be a pivotal moment in Posey's development as well, realizing when to let go.

Luckily, at the least the crown can no longer be said to be on Rosey's head, if not outright in Silver's hands (which honestly is the best place right now)

Of course, when you’re invulnerable, you don’t need to care about cursed items. They are just a joke. Like the poison flower Posey rubbed on herself only after he knew what it was.

If Posey is placing it in her head, the NPCs will cumulatively either destroy the crown, or die in the attempt. It isn’t being taken as a prize in that event.

It's simple, actually: become the crown's friend. A pony who spends time with the crown could bond with it and turn it into an intelligent legacy item, with a disposition friendly to that pony.

I promise not to put it on again. It'll be safe in Posey's bag and nobody in the party will ever have to worry about it.

Sadly, I haven't seen that movie so that's all I take away from that.

Booze, Vir's mind screams. Usually, training eases her addiction somewhat but it also lowers her guard against it, being tired and all. Right now, she craves it.

"I could go for some te-"

Tea? Eeh, your actin' all grown-up again. I'll have soda thank you very much," Vir hears her filly-self say.

She and a two other fillies, a pale turquoise unicorn with an even paler hay-yellow for mane and a red Pegasus filly with a mane looking like it was made entirely of carrot peels sit around a small round table. The unicorn lifts the soda can with red juicy liquid with her hooves and pours some in Vir's cup.

"Well, I can try some tea, Hope's," says the red filly.

Pew Seat.


"I..."

Vir looks casts Heather a look before she curls in herself on the ground as she hugs herself.

As a former GM, I would describe a reality-warping moment, where a whole slough of undesirable consequences flashed before Rosey's eyes, almost as a premonition, before allowing her to re-think putting on the crown.

Eh...I don't think this crown works like that. Honestly, it's best that we retcon it. We've seen the fault in our actions, now we learn from them and move on. Remember, there's an entire boat full of potential loot still out there for the claiming once we save those Navy ponies. She has better uses for all of that loot than she does one lousy cursed crown.

>>180890
Honestly, not the worst idea. If we retcon it I was just going to have Silver take and pocket the crown safely away for later pyrotechnic destruction.

That's pointless though. Posey didn't put on the crown because she didn't know the consequences of putting on the crown. She put it on because Posey's player knew it was cursed and knew that it was a bad idea. This was intentional. It's like in movies or TV shows where a character can't die, so they openly defy death in a deliberate act of disrespect or daring. He built this frankenstien's monster character from a thousand third party source books and made it impossible to kill, so he'll basically just dare anything in the environment to kill him, however obvious. This isn't the first time he's done it either. He did it before with the poisoned flower.

I suppose the only proper solution is to let him lose the character, let the rest of the party kill the character, and then make him make a new character using only things that are in the SRD. But it's just so aggravating.

It could be amended along the lines of "what happened to the crown after getting slapped off", but in that Rosey's character is super-badass at magic I would encourage a reevaluation with tampering with crazy magics RIGHT NOW. That would also leave the crown in Rosey's hooves, which I have mixed feelings about,...

This is an opportunity. Posey as a player can learn a lesson, OR Posey as a player AND Rosey as a character can learn a lesson (the latter, getting nerfed or killed). The latter isn't helpful, imo

Posey doesn't have any kind of blanket immunity to curses or item-domination; just a high will save. She's just cocky, and she doesn't value her life; she's so desperate for power so that she can finally become a master. Also, she's always wanted a magical crown of her own.
Item domination isn't even a mind-affecting attack: Posey would be vulnerable to it even before she was nerfed.

Well figure out what you want to do. I am going to sleep for real this time.

I was going to do an "Are you sure" before the crown was placed on, but decided to have it happen in character. That was ignored, and when it was, I knew an out of character "Are you sure" would be as well.

We can just play it out as it happened, but that crown is getting destroyed.

>>180901

Silver is definitely taking and pocketing the crown in this case. Sorry, Posey's player, but it's best for both Posey the character and the game as a whole if we destroy the crown. We'll find some other cool loot for Posey to take some other time.

I'd also like to have Cavaliere calm the griffons down and explain to them that Silver's intention is to blow up the crown with explosives when they get to their objective.

It's not like it's any danger to anyone if nopony is wearing it.
Also, this is an artifact, and likely a major one. It shouldn't be destroyed so easily.
>We'll find some other cool loot for Posey to take some other time.
It won't be the same...
This is the first major piece of treasure I've found that I felt was fitting for Posey. It's cursed. It's evil. It fits her archetypical theme. It even has her color scheme.
If Posey is eventually going to become a lich, I want that crown to be her phylactery, even if it's 16 levels from now.

What I mean by "the game as a whole" is that Posey keeping the crown will likely lead to a whole lot of OOC conflict between you and GM pone. No one wants that to happen, it brings down the mood in the entire thread and no one wants you to get disheartened and quit because of constant arguing.

If you really want an evil crown to be Posey's phylactery, then I would like to suggest a better alternative. Silver has basically poured all of skill points into Weaponsmithing and Armorsmithing, and I'm fairly certain that would translate into knowledge in forging a crown for Posey, one befitting her nature and her design. Posey could then, as she gains power and as she goes along, corrupt it into an evil artifact attuned specifically for her. To me that sounds like a really, really cool idea for Posey.

Cavaliere turns to Posey, his eyes brimming with anger. He speaks tersely and with a raised voice.

"Your recklessness could have gotten us or the griffons killed. It very well injured Silver Sword here, and we are all now less prepared for the main mission because of it. Crown or not, I was close to getting these souls out of this boat, and then we could gotten rid of the crown without any injury. Clearly it was a mistake to bring you along with the unnecessary danger you put us through."

I'll ignore the whole crown fiasco. Also, don't let this scolding be taken personally. You add a lot to this game which makes life so enjoyable.

Cavaliere turns to Defiant Dust, evidently still fuming but with a more leveled tone. He rubs his head painfully.

"Zebra healing magic is renowned the world over for good reason. I would much rather that you stayed with that. Thank you for your healing arts, but if you're going to make loud noises then bring aspirin next time."

And finally he turns back to the griffons, who are still injured and must look quite afraid. "Ik verontschuldig me voor deze onaangename omstandigheden. U vond een voorwerp dat u onwel maakte in uw hoofd en we konden het niet op een rustige manier van u afhalen. Ik weet niet zeker of u zich kunt herinneren wat er is gebeurd. We zullen u zo goed mogelijk helpen en u van dit eiland afhalen, maar eerst moeten we een paar airponies helpen die ook gestrand zijn."

Cavaliere would not permit Posey to keep the crown, especially after all that's happened. It doesn't matter if she's power-hungry and doesn't value her life. He knows she's not responsible enough to take the evil artifacts. He doesn't care whether it is destroyed or not.

While I attempt to affect a veil of patience waiting for everyone/anyone to become available, allow me a short interlude to describe what happened from Brie's perspective.
Brie doesn't know spoopy magic or artifacts, but he does know value, and that's a fancy tiara. And for reasons he's not sure of Silver, Rosey, and Dust seem awfully keen to remove it. Sidelong, he whispers to Cavaliere "Hey, I'll wrap that red Griffon up, you yank the crown, yeah?" to which Cavaliere nods. Bracing to spring into action,....

Dust drops his stun grenade.
"What... the... everloving...."
"I dunno... dude"

I know it wasn't intended to go that way, and there was no malice behind it. Honestly, that's one of the most classic examples of RP tomfoolery I can think of. Its in my personal top 2

There was no warning to give, it was the first round and Brie got fucked first on initiative, second on being a rogue (a whole +1 fort for 5 levels e_e), and third on his saving throw. He got +2 for his monk dip, and I gave him a +2 for earplugs (he is wearing earplugs, anticipating firearms and explosions), but even then he was doomed.

Fair enough, perhaps the party can have discussions about strats moving forward so the zeeb doesn't flashbang his comrades
I know jack all about EaW, so I'm imagining zeebs are very utilitarian "you can catch your allies in the crossfire as long as you're doing more to the enemy" style of fighting. It's not that Dust wants to hit allies, but he considers it a necessary evil, and knows he can heal them after. He's used to the same treatment. Perhaps he shall have to learn against this.

Me too. I liked the combat, personally. I liked the element that we were less fighting to kill the griffons and more to just get rid of the crown/tiara's influence. I thought it added a bit more depth, since we were making moves to try to stun, immobilize, and disarm rather than outright damage them.
