>>180740I don't think GM pone wants us to have a yeth hound in the party, regardless if it's summoned or called, or regardless of the rules by which it exists in this plane of existence.
>>180733>>180731Okay, Silver readies his attack, letting Kira go first. First, Kira releases the red griffon from her grasp (a free action), and turns her attention to the doggo.
Touch Attack: Kira first sees if she can get her tail into a position to attempt a grapple.
[1d20+9 = (9+9) = 18] >>180748"Well, it may be... I don't know who would throw a saddle bag off a bridge. But I have even less idea who would take a statue, cut its head off, and toss it into a river. Well, I know who... All the same, I don't know."
Just gotta go to the back
>>180740It's supposed to be summoned and it doesn't state clearly that a summoned monster disappears when the summoner is incapacitated.
>>180751Touch attack hits
>>180753Grapple: Oh, nevermind then. Kira now attempts to wrap her coils around the yeth hound.
[1d20+13 = (2+13) = 15] >>180753Oh, whatever then.
Keep attacking, everypony.
>>180758Kira is thanking her lucky stars that the doggo is distracted enough that she managed to get her coils wrapped around him. With the yeth hound wrapped up, Silver takes his prepared action, once again swing at the dog with an overhead attack, followed by a thrust.
Overhead:
[1d20+12 = (8+12) = 20]Thrust:
[1d20+7 = (9+7) = 16] >>180760The first hits, but the second doesn't
quite make it through its thick skin.
>>180760>>180762The dog is flanked and grappled, so both strikes should hit.
>>180763+2 cuz flanking, +2 cuz grappled
>>180764+2 Flanking, no dex bonus because grappled.
>>180753As if submerged in the river again, Vir disappears into herself. A mocking voice speaks, "Where's your princess now, huh? Heh heh heh."
She shakes of the vision with a shake of her head.
Then she looks ahead darkly.
"Yes, they do exist. You'd wish they at least show respect to what others care about even if they don't agree," Vir says.
>>180770Yelp!The dog goes limp in Kira's coils, and then disintegrates into a sort of ash that itself evaporates.
>>180767She sighs
"Yes... I know. I know. Many ponies disrespect the princesses. A few do it openly, and brazenly. Not to imply they'd be any more respectful to regular ponies..."
>>180772With the battle finished, Silver holds himself up by his sword. He looks around at the group, bleeding from a terrible shoulder wound, a less-terrible stab wound, and from the ears. "Is everyone okay?"
Kira: "Is...combat always going to be that hectic?"
>>180772Posey gently pets the dog one more time as it disappears, speaking to it in infernal:
"त्वं उत्तमः आह्वानः आसीः। विदाई, श्वापद।"
I'm going to have to go eat dinner in a bit.
Posey will leave it to the rest of the party to negotiate with the liberated griffins, while she turns her attention to examining the sea crown and feeling its power.
If I don't respond, carry on without me, and assume Posey is busy with the crown, following behind the party.
>>180775Dust walks over and gives Posey a light whap on the flank with his flail. Not enough to do damage or hurt, but enough to get attention. He then drops his flail
"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."
>>180774Dust 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
>>180784"~Relax, everypony is fine" she says
the stab wounds in her chest close up very quickly.She smiles
"It's cute of you to worry about me though. I'm flattered." she bats her eyelashes
"I like how you beat that gong." her chest fluff puffs out
Seduction
[1d20+8 = (6+8) = 14] >>180784Silver 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..."
Kira also looks on at Silver and Posey's injuries with concern.
>>180772Vir'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.
>>180789Posey seems miraculously unwounded. Perhaps Silver's eyes deceived him.
"I'm fine. My armor blocked the knife. It's not like he stabbed me in the heart twice or anything..."
Bluff
[1d20+14 = (2+14) = 16] >>180792Sense motive, that was not a grazing wound (not hating, just establishing "Hey,...."
[1d20+8 = (18+8) = 26] >>180793Silver raises an eyebrow at that statement. Kira, apparently in awe at how Posey somehow managed to heal already from being stabbed in the heart, gives Posey a couple
poke pokes where she got stabbed.
>>180791>"Did you want something, Virgin..."~Actually, it should be, "did you want something,
Vir"
Justeney used her nickname.
>>180788Dust turns and narrows his eyes at her
"Just me more careful
Before you get another earful"
>>180789As he says that, he lifts his hoof, and gently lays it onto Silver. He can feel a warming energy spread throughout him, despite where Dust's hoof lays, from his own hooves almost as if it is coming from the ground itself. Cure light wounds.
[1d8+6 = (7+6) = 13]>>180792Dust's head whips back around
Sense motive
[1d20+4 = (3+4) = 7] >>180794........ Fuck
Silver knows what he saw. Posey was absolutely stabbed right in the heart, and twice suffered a wound that by all measures should have instantly killed a pony like her.
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.
"Hehe... What are you all staring at? The monster is gone.."
>>180800But you don't notice anything! Lol
>>180791She sighs yet again
"Yeah, something like that. Ponies have utterly lost sight of the good, these days. Well, some of them has. But all it takes is a few to do a lot of bad."
>>180788>>180792Fast healing doesn't even kick in until 50% of HP is lost according to your character sheet>>180787The black griffin blinks multiple times, then turns his head around to look at the stallion who is on his back, and has his arms wrapped around him.
"Ooo... ooo woo?"
The griffin asks, blushing
>>180792Mala
[1d20+1 = (3+1) = 4] >>180800Brie is wearing a mask, so his facial features are indistinguishable,... but if you were to ASK him, he MIGHT have something to say about care and earfuls....
>>180802Oh gawd, Brie is gonna make a non-lethal bop
[1d20+7 = (14+7) = 21] >>180800He shrugs, figuring Posey just made a bad joke
"May I heal you as well?
I saw you wrestling that dog from hell,
I am sure it got you before its farewell"
>>180800Silver and Kira look on as the magic works its, well, magic. Silver's wounds seemingly patch themselves up before their very eyes. While Silver isn't at 100%, he's absolutely feeling a lot better without having those vicious injuries.
Silver: "Thank you very much, Dust."
Kira: "Ooooooooooooooooo!" Now it's Silver's turn to be
poke poked by the noodle.
>>180801Thankfully, 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.
>>180795You have a sense that Posey is bullshitting.
>>180803Silver was simply the priority because he had a very obvious hole in his chest. Yes everyone has minor ear damage now but you treat the dude with a punctured lung before the ruptured eardrum.
Also stop deleting your posts before I shove mangos uo Brie's ponut.
>>180807Well, he ain't beating that. So I won't even try
Dust simply shrugs, and turns towards the bat with a glowing hoof as well, eyebrows cocked in a questioning glance.
>>180809Dust also nods at Silver
>>180807The damage reduction is +2. She took 12 and then about 4 damage. She took damage, and it doesn't heal instantly
>>180810>a senseBrie beat the bluff by +10, its more than a sense. Not gonna say nothing, just taking notes.
>>180812I can hatch out the specifics later, but for now I think I need to honor the RP consequences of suffering a grievous wound that would have killed a normal pony.
>>180799^^
>>180802"Each day the princess gets out of her bed and raises the sun, turning the year beautiful. Each day, you water this Solemn Vow flower."~Vir feels something cold grip her heart. She looks away and inhales through her teeth.
Her throat aches.
"Well! I hope we all have reached a better place... except you," Brie says, somehow communicating disgust at the Black Griffon. He says this more to break the tension and allow the Red Griffon to (maybe?) regain composure.
