There is no contest.
You can cast Animate Dead.
Posey can't, and might never at this rate.
Clerics are stronger.
>Probably not, unless she asks nicely.
"uwu sear me, daddy~"

This would be a good time to cast Lay Of The Land
Or Commune With Nature, if you considered that spiritual ACF.

It's rather still in the fog, with the smells and sounds of waves and that tinnitus.
The newest annoyance is the radio picking static and thus causing constant noise.

Now that she is no longer above water, Rosey Ring looks less like a corpse and more like a cruel angel.
Rosey Ring appears as a youthful mare with soft and elegant features. Her coat is a pristine snow white, and exceptionally fluffy. Her mane is a sanguine red-pink, and is soft, fine and silky, almost glowing with its vibrant. Her mane is exceptionally long, and usually done up in a braid or a war bun. Her body is slender and dainty, with generous feminine endowments. She has a calm and professional demeanor, and she comes off as mature, despite her apparent youth. When she moves, she seems to glide over the ground, with grace that seems almost supernatural. The spring in her step betrays a deceptively strong body. She trots with a regal confidence, puffing her fluffy chest out and holding her head high, and making eye contact with anyone within eyesight. She always seems alert and engaged, her ears swiveling like tiny satellite dishes. Overall, she is strikingly beautiful. She seems to radiate youth and vitality, but something about her supernatural appearance is... Unsettling. She seems almost more like an exquisite painting of a mare than a living thing, almost uncanny in her beauty.
Rosey Ring's eyes are like pools of gold, with radial concentric rings. They glow with authority and give off a mesmerizing aura that demands submission. Staring into them too long gives feelings of unease and terror, but their commanding presence makes it difficult for any unfortunate souls who've caught her attention to look away.
Posey's Cutie Mark is a dark sun surrounded by a red flare. It also resemble a buboe from the black plague. It fills out her soft and rotund flank very well.
When dressed for war, Rosey Ring looks like something from another era. She wears archaic chain shirt barding, adorned with the bones and teeth of various monsters. Throwing needles hold her hair into a tactical bun, and she affixes a blade to the end of her braid. An elegant longsword lays at her flank, alongside a longbow and quiver. She brandishes an archaic polearm that crackles with electricity. Spines bracers are fastened to her hooves. It's clear from her fashion that she is a warrior.
She puts on a pirate bandana, and affixes a dead canary (I was going to use this later, but fuck it) to her should, and gives a pirate-like scowl.

Survival: Kira uses her keen survival senses, combined with her actual senses, to discern what creatures and wildlife call this island home, through clues left behind by wildlife such as feathers or droppings, her flicking her tongue to pick up scents in the air, and the knowledge she's already picked up on the geography and history of the island.

Kira can discern that this environment is most home to creatures that live in the water, or prey on creatures that live in the water. Immediately Kira can already find the feathers of a seagull, clam shells, more seagull feathers and... did something just rip apart a fresh seagull here?
As for other things on the island, it could probably sustain at least a small population of herbivores. Whatever other terrestrial animals could live there is hard to say.

Hey, just sayin'.
Kira really hopes that's just the remains of a seagull that got mulched by the seaplane's propellers, and not the result of a hereto-unknown predator stalking the island or nearby oceans. Anyways, once Brie gets the one end of the rope secured to the top of the cliff, it's time for the party to enact Posey's plan on how to get everyone up it (unless there are any objections to her plan).

They're all equally autistic. It's a spectrum.

Dust decides to take the realtive moment of peace to get equipped, he's definitely not only doing it now because I completely forgot to do this, oh no.
The beige and dark brown zeeb undoes the roll on his back that his has been carrying thus far. The roll itself is revealed to be a well crafted, of not rugged looking, suit of splint-mail with an accompanying overcloak that looks as if it was originally designed to block sun and sand. Hopefully, it can prove to block rain and cold for this mission.
Sitting inside the unrolled roll are two weapons. A heavy flail, slightly ornate with tribal markings and highlights of bone and gold and a single roughly cut gem at the bottom of the handle. Next to it is a humble sling and saddlebag. Dust spends a moment to situate himself into his armor. Once settled, he checks his saddlebag, with anypony close enough to see noticing an assortment of some colored stones and small vials inside, befoee throwing it on. He drapes his sling over his neck, like a stole, before picking up his flail and waiting on the others.

Mala pretty clearly finds the smell of Posey to be interesting
He looks up towards Posey, then turns his nose up and sniffs the air, with multiple sniffs
"No, the wind is going the wrong way. It's coming from the sea" He sniffs in again, and then moves his hoof one step forward and to his left. "Wait." He continues sniffing, and then stares down the beach to the left.
"It could be..." Then he looks back to Posey "No. I do not smell ponies, I think..."
>>179689
Brie I assumed flew right over the cliff. Everyone else is on the beach and is there for the moment.

Silver steps forward to be one of the first this mystery pony will encounter, not only as he's pretty beefy and can take a hit, but as he can also attempt to communicate with the pony whether they're a Navy pony survivor or a Stalliongrader on patrol.

The approaching creature is recognizable as a pony. An earth pony. Yellow mane and tan coat, with a white uniform and blue and white striped undershirt beneath. It has a saddlebag and a revolver. It is speaking under its breath. It is trotting towards them. It almost seems to not notice them

Dust decides he doesn't like where this is going. To run like that you're either running from something, or to hunt something.
He taps his flail to the earth, and mutters something obscured by the waves and his flail, but the gem in the end glows. Ponies paying attention can see a small ripple travel in the ground from Dust to the runner, before the runner seems to sink a little in the ground.
Soften Earth and Stone on wet ground, making it basically worse quicksand. Reflex save [DC 16] or stuck for 1d2 rounds.

Those eyes are odd. However, many other details would imply that he is a live pony, such as his breathing (which is irregular and like he is out of breath) his visible shaking and body tremors, and especially, a small cut on his nose, which appears to have recently bled and then clotted.
Most likely, this is Equus Amicus, more specifically Equus Amicus Cthonous - An Earth Pony
There are no imperfections immediately revealing it to be an avatar. If this is a disguised changeling, dragon, or other creature, it's a decent immitation.
Except in behavior. It's terrible in acting like a pony.

If it isnt clear:
Brie's ascendant spot check was pertaining to looking for significant landmarks, points of interest and - didnt think I had to spell this one out - potential threats.
Unknown ponies,... well golly, those classify as potential threats. So why Brie didnt notice the pony from his elevated position, let alone have the chance to signal the party is probably a lapse in judgement we can iron out.
Having said, I am already in bed, I made a point of expressly and emphatically asking for advance notice before official gameplaybwas starting, I THOUGHT this was just ro and socializing, goodnight

Yes. He took a look at the beach. And then left the beach and everyone else. Then while everyone else was still at the beach a minute later, it came into field of view, explicitly stated as first being seen at the 300 foot end range of field of view. Brie probably could have seen it after that, but did not roll.

I am replying late but please know that no matter what happens, someone out there loves you and wants you to keep fighting. Never lose hope. Be prepared but don't give up; think of how Jim (Mister Metokur) has an unknown disease putting him in extreme agony, with many of his audience assuming at times he had died, and how he keeps coming back to bring joy to his viewers.
I know you're probably sick of people going "I'm sorry," but if we had known about this situation I'm sure things would have been more accommodating. Like DM mentioned, there's a tacit assumption that the campaign and its world will just keep going indefinitely, though that runs into the risk of author (in this case player) existence failure. With the direction the world is going, and our youth giving way to a stronger understanding of our mortality, I agree that the campaign should be at least a little bit faster than its overall average. It's very hard to build up progression when the average in-game day takes more than an irl month, with eating, working, traveling, socializing, trysts, not to mention long dream sequences, all being extremely detailed. I personally have enjoyed the casual pace, but I do agree it needs to pick up and some things will have to be compromised.
I should give my two cents regarding Posey's place within the campaign, but don't assume my opinion is worth any more than that. There are two extremes players have taken regarding their characters' roles in the campaign. (You), Posey's player, occupy one extreme, where Posey is the single plot driver that makes things happen, has goals she subordinates the world toward and who is designed to be powerful. My character Amber is on the complete opposite end. I saw the world the DM came up with and wanted to create a character that typified an everymare, even one with many disadvantages. She is experiencing the multiple tumultuous trends society is undergoing in this society: she is forced to give up farming for urban life to sustain herself, she is forced to either overwork herself or sacrifice her innocence in order to have mere subsistence, she is deracinated from community and is trying to find it again, she is experiencing all the positives and negatives of the dissolution of social life, she has to navigate all the pitfalls of love, etc. My philosophy when playing Amber is to "go with the flow" and have her react realistically toward changing surroundings rather than trying to change the surroundings herself.
She is definitely overleveled for such a passive archetype (despite having a low perform skill and a glut of skill points in less useful skills), and she'll soon be properly ready for real adventure but I am quite happy with her story and I think others are too. All the other PCs are somewhere in the middle; they aren't quite as passive as Amber is and their choices have had far-reaching effects on the city of Baltimare, but neither are they gearing towards becoming an all-dominating physical goddess like Posey. (You) brought up E6 and other low-level campaign house rules, and how it would be incompatible with Posey's concept, and that was a perfect point. I cannot speak for the DM, but if he created the campaign today with his current vision, it probably would have that sort of level cap with PCs starting at level 1 or at most level 3. As it is, all PCs have started at level 5 (a typical start for a fantasy adventure) but leveling too far past that would lose the campaign's groundedness and would induce power creep, which he explicitly wanted to avoid. He simply arbitrarily froze leveling and we all would be level 5 even now if you hadn't repeatedly insisted on progression. I'm grateful that you kept leveling from being delayed forever.
Given the DM's liking towards dialectics, maybe he can figure out a solution to this. I rambled on for a bit but to tell you the truth I don't think that Posey in her current state fits conventional DnD party dynamics, not because of evil goals but because she overpowers every specialized class despite being a generalist at technically level 3. Her design is incredible and most players here are in awe of the in-depth knowledge needed to create her, but she breaks the party system. She's not the first character to do this, since I veto'd Amber's involvement in this quest as she'd realistically be useless with no combat experience. A solution for Posey would be to have her own faster-paced and higher-stakes quests, just as Amber's activities are slower-paced with "boring" (but not for me) conversations, with occasional interactions with the main party in either a cooperative or adversarial role. The main downside is that it splits the DM's attention and slows down the campaign overall.

Cavaliere moves to assist Silver. Assuming the party is in a relatively close cluster (a map would be helpful), he is able to close the distance. He attempts to grapple and restrain the Stalliongradian pony to prevent him from attacking the others.. He incurs an attack of opportunity while doing so.

Alright, who is here?
The scene is on the rocky beach 30 feet wide in front of the cliff. An intruder was noticed trotting along the beach approaching from the left.
We have a pony approaching and physically crashing into Silver
It seems that Silver has resisted the charge and has presumably knocked the intruder down prone
Posey has attacked (or declared an attack) with her Halberd
And Garv is trying to grapple it... with not great odds

raises hoof
Silver can hardly believe he managed to resist the pony's charge, he feels likely stronger than even he is. Pushing back with all his might, he throws the mystery pony to the ground and steps on him, using his body weight to keep him from moving. "Cyrillic, friend, do you speak it? Or are you just babbling madly to yourself?"
>>179737
>>179713
Silver looks over at Posey and Dust, and speaks Ponish to them. "Can either of you tell if he is communicating with some other entity using magic? Or is he just speaking nonsense to himself? He has mentioned 'commissar' more than once."

If Brie's intent is to hide, his best bet is probably the top of the sea stack. The sea stack is basically a giant column of rock that protrudes outwards from the ocean just a few feet beyond the beach. It's located to the left of the party and actually closer to where the intruder is coming from. Brie could sit atop it. He could also just hide on top of the cliff, but because it angles upwards, he could be visible. He could also just hide behind Silver, Mala, Posey, or whomever
Pic related isn't quite what the beach looks like, but it's far from completely inaccurate either.

I know we might want to question this guy, but Posey has a different outlook on warfare..
And also, she really wants to test her new polearm.

This is assuming a +1 enhancement bonus (like all magic weapons do). I haven't used this polearm before, so idk what else it does.

Okay, where are you getting a +8 and "(doubled)" from?
I'm guessing that's a +5 strength bonus on double handed. Your character sheet says 17 strength. And unless she's applying a spell of some kind (which is not stated) I can't fathom why it would be doubled
>>179772
I really don't have time to read every rant by everyone. It's hard to deal with this many players and IRL matters.
>>179775
Unless you're using a spell to boost that number - No. She's not doing 24 damage on a single 6 dice roll without there being something special going on.

Enhancement bonus + Str + halberd readied against a charge.
Polearms and spears do double damage when readied vs charging enemies, because if you run into them you impaled yourself on them.

It depends on whether she's within 10 feet of Silver and stallion in front of him. She declared her action, and although I disagree with it she does get the hit if within range. Ultimately up to you.
This is why maps are important

Okay, I don't really care if I hit or not. If Posey wasn't in the right position, just ignore the attack. If not, I'll just join the grapple next round.

Garv’s (first) grapple fails. Posey has wounded it. It’s not responding to Silver’s questions given how it has been seriously cut up. It has been physically knocked prone by Silver.

I think that that line in the rules refers to someone who is doing the grappling, rather than the one being grappled. I assume the implication is that someone who is grappled can’t pull a light weapon at all. All you need to not be grappled is to succeed on a grapple check; succeeding kn a grapple check as a precondition to pull a light weapon doesn’t make much sense to me.
In any case, the pony pulling a revolver is more dramatic, although it would also make sense if, depending on where the revolver is located, he couldn’t reach it while being attacked by a constructor snake.

Brie hears the sound of a gunshot, the seaplane’s engines revving up as it flies away, the sound of waves crashing, and what sounds like a metal door swinging further down the beach on the left. He sees nothing of interest besides the obvious.

Literally Posey is asking for permission. I do not understand the issue.
Is anyone going to respond in character before the Death-worshipping madmare takes her turn?
I won't kill him if you guys want him alive.
>>179876
Then respond in-character, faggot.

Reading from the SRD, it seems like the actions apply to both characters involved in the grapple, regardless of who started it. It seems like you have the option of either attempting to break free of the grapple, which ends your turn, or you can attempt to make a grapple check to draw a light weapon and have the option of attacking with it while grappled during that turn.
I will admit though, him drawing the weapon is more dramatic.
>>179877
Silver: "Let us not kill him just yet until we know what we are dealing with."

Mala moves in, evidently position himself to stab the pony with his bayonet.

I am genuinely baffled as to what the issue is. It’s Posey’s turn. Posey uses the free action of talking to ask permission to stab the now-hostile pony before making a move or attack action. I sincerely do not understand the problem.

"B-b-but..! I was so close..!" Posey responds, the frantic desperation clear in her voice
"Aaaagh! Fine!" she snarls, dropping her weapon
Posey turns and makes two unarmed strikes with her hind legs, dealing only subdual damage
[1d20+6 = (18+6) = 24]
[1d20+6 = (3+6) = 9]
This mod might be fucked up, but idk
Also a slam attack (hip check) at a -4 penalty to do only subdual damage
[1d20-1 = (6-1) = 5]

Posey sits down on the ground and pouts, biting her lower lip slightly.
Posey's turn is over.

Dust approaches the held pony, and attempts to diagnose him for any medical issues he can while said pony is being held in a giant snej. Rolling heal.
[1d20+13 = (17+13) = 30]
Can the snej be used as a blood pressure cuff?

Mala tries to bludgeon it with his shotgun
[1d20+8 = (7+8) = 15]
>>179888
The pony has been:
Stabbed pretty brutally. This is actually a serious medical issue requiring attention.
It’s been kicked
It’s also been attacked by a giant snake.
Besides this, it’s suffering from delirium, it’s shivering for reasons unknown, and may have other issues.
>>179890
Possible enchantment. Hard to say.

Dust really wishes ponies and creatures alike would stop hitting his patient.
>>179898
Dust heaves a big sigh
"If you were going to kill him anyway
Could you at least wait until I was out of the way?"
Heal check to at least stabilize the pony so he does not die while they deside what to do

"Not only can we not interrogate him for information, but the gunshot means our position may be revealed. Once you are finished, doctor, we will need to hurry out of here."
He takes 10 with a +4 modifier to tie up the stallion with a length of rope, and gags him as well.

Mala, who is leaning over towards the intruder pony, still holding his shotgun, has his eyes wide open and is smiling. But when Dust complains to him, he frowns, moves away, lowers his ears, and steps back, letting his shotgun fall onto his sling.

The pony has a combination of bludgeoning and stabbing damage. The most serious issue is the stab wound, which is bleeding. Give the pony stitches, cover the wound to stop the bleeding, disinfect the wound, and give painkillers if desired/necessary.
>>179901
He is acting like he is. It isn’t cold enough for that, except in the water. His hooves and lower legs show signs of water, but his uniform doesn’t feel wet.

Don't need painkillers if you're unconscious. Oh well, to late to fix anything. Dust sighs and pats the yeen's shoulder before plodding a little ways away.
End o' my turn.

For a moment, the fog starts to clear. Above the ponies crests a grassy hill. To the left from where the pony came is a small bay and what looks like a few structures. To the right is the end of the island, and another smaller, cliff-faced island.

Kira knows she has limited resources...but she can't just leave this pony like this. She mutters a prayer in a language the rest of the party can't understand, then presses her hoof to the pony's snoot. A golden light and warmth spreads down the pony's body, starting from his nose.
Silver goes over to comfort Mala, giving him pets and telling him, "You did good, my friend. You did really good."

Combat's over so I guess initiative doesn't matter.
"That's the plan. This rope should be enough to reach the base of the cliff."
He runs to the edge of the water and jumps to take off. Not a particularly competent flier and bearing some weight, he makes a long, wide turn before he climbs at a shallow angle to the top of the cliff.

I'm glad you noticed!
Dust looks at the grass and thinks that it looks rather tasty. He might have to sample it while they wait to figure out how to get over the cliff.

He seems to be insistent that initiative carries out of combat, and thus is gonna make us wait until he takes a turn before he lets you specifically do anything else without complaining.

I'm just going to filter Brie's player, because he's having a hissy fit and I don't have the energy to deal with him right now. If he does anything relevant to my character, someone else let me know.
That aside.
What direction do we want to go in? Do we climb the cliff, go in the direction the pony came from, or over the grassy hill?
We could use some healing magic to revive and interrogate this pony, but that has a resource cost.
I'm any case, we should move quickly, because our presence has been revealed by the gunshot.
We now know that we are not alone on this island. There could be more pony enemies.

The players have four options:
Walk along the beach towards the small bay
Walk along the beach towards the edge of the wall
Go straight up the cliff and to the hill
Get on the rafts and go onto the water
But no. They don't have to scale a cliff. They can literally just walk around it. The same as that pony just did.

The island is rolling grass hills. He can see some little stone walls off in the distance, and the steel hulls of what looks like some kind of shanty down the beach in a small bay. Other than that, nothing jumps out at Cavaliere during this brief clearing of the fog

Dust would like to go munch on some grass, he hasn't had lunch yet. The real question is is there anything on the hill?
Rolling spot to see if there's anything suspicious as he slowly plods to the grass at the edge of the beach in the direction of the hill.

Silver: "Sea Stone, huh..." Silver takes the ID and note. "It looks like we can get around this cliff if we go in direction he came from. Tie him up to Kira's back and let us get out of here, then we can work on waking him up and getting answers. If you are okay with that, Kira."
Kira: "Oh, uh, sure! I'm pretty strong, I can carry him."
Silver: "Good, let us do that and get move on."

If we go in that direction, we might meet the pony's allies.
Stealthy characters should scout that direction before we decide to go there.
"Which direction should we go? We shouldn't stay here. We need to locate the Marines."
She looks at the unconscious pony
"Enemies already occupy this island. It's possible that our colts may already be detained, or worse. We should locate the rest of this pony's comrades."
Posey also pets Mala

Realizes he should probably have stuck around longer before flying away.
He attempts to locate a decent spot for the other creatures to climb up, one which is shallower and not too jagged yet offers holds. He takes 10 to drive his grappling hook into the spot and tie the rope to it before letting it down. Brie should be keeping watch during this.

Look for any signs of electric lights that the communists might be using in the fog. We need to locate the enemy.
It might be suitable to climb the cliff anyway: we want high ground advantage.

"Sure, but we should be careful. There might be more where he came from. Stay on guard." She says
"Perhaps somepony should scout ahead."
