I would be all for it. We're not likely to return to this island so getting the most out of this eerie setting would be perfect.

>Is this going to be very badly received, or what?
Unless it results in some kind of permanent unavoidable debuffs (as in, the kind we can't avoid by fighting/evading), Idk anything that I would dislike.
My only requests/suggestions:
>additional encounters/traps/puzzles/tasks that add to the XP budget of the adventure be rewarded with some appropriate treasure and/or levels, or otherwise contribute to character wealth/advancement/development (i.e. any kind of reward for winning, even if it's just a few coins or a random treasure roll)
>be mindful of the other PCs who are low on healing resources, because their confidence will be affected by their health (this can be amended by adding a Healing Belt, Wand of Vigor, or potions to any loot rolls)
But even if those requests aren't met, I'm fine with whatever. I trust that whatever you throw at us will be fun. Posey is adventuring to expand her personal powers, so she sees any kind of challenge as an opportunity to level up and practice her craft so that she can become a master and complete her apprenticeship.
We could be swallowed by a leviathan, warped into the far realm, or get abducted by aliens for all I care.
>>185684
Also this. I have a completionist mindset, so I want to exhaust every avenue of adventure on this island.
Assuming the Marines don't freeze, but tbh they're marines and they should be able to take care of themselves.

It's what I gathered from the backlogs I read.

There are places to take shelter on the island, and Kira's Survival modifier is high enough that she realistically would have zero problems making a fire, so once the Traveler is dealt with we can stash the Navy ponies in a safe location with a cozy fire while we explore.

>>185687
Hmm...Silver could probably do so, then. I should have him display his flexibility more.

Clarification: in EaW for HoI4, the everfree bar society still is steuctured largely around Nightmare Moon and her ideals.
So, Brie knows that mentality. But, this is more evil even than Nightmare Moon, who was at least lawful in her evil. She didn't mind control ponies certainly, and aside from permanent night time never warped reality

Mystic Wanderer is probably the best class for Zebra alchemists.

So, question. As everyone is figuring out these last few things, like talking to mice and searching, will these occupations take an hour or so? An hour that Dust can sneak off on his own a little?

Celcius is better, but I can't have caffiene anyways now. Sad! Many such cases! Ghost is pretty good though, never tried the cherry limeade.

How are you suppose to calculate BAB? So I did the math and it turns out I gotta a work eighty hours per day. Also, I think my original calculation is correct. Based on these picture, pretty based wouldn't you say, getit? ;P
Anyway, so from picture I get BAB=9 and then from the first level of Barbarian I get +1. I mean, I convinced that I did a mistake but I'm not sure where. Do you see it?

>What do you want?
I want to fulfill the mission, advance my story, flex my powers, find treasure, and level up.
>listing numbers
Not sure what you mean here.
>Then your character deliberately provoked the Traveller into hostility when he wasn't initially hostile, and then furthermore you've provoked multiple new summons within combat.
Well, I know that "it's what my character would do" is not an excuse for poor behavior, but I was just roleplaying Posey as Posey, asserting dominance against invading ayys, and encouraging it to expend resources on her own terms instead of during the fight against it.
>Then you asked if your character could be in more danger.
I was considering that because I felt like I wasn't contributing to the group enough lately, so I offered up myself as a pincushion, even with my reduced HP.
>And now you complain
Not complaining, bro.
>too many encounters and they are too pointless.
Combat is part of the fun, but I was thinking tactically with the mission in mind, since the rest of the party benefits from not expending their HP/healing resources when they can avoid it.
>You complain the combat is too easy.
No...?
>You complain the combat is too hard
Also no.
>You complain it is too easy immediately after saying it is too hard immediately after saying it is too easy.
Literally no. I am not complaining. You are misinterpreting my posts.
>You want combat that has no relevance to the story
I like random encounters that yield treasure and XP to level up, but yes, I am fond of tactical combat.
>but as soon as there are less than a handful of fights that serve the story it's too much combat and the story needs to be shorter
I didn't ask for that. You suggested it, and I said that would be fine.
>Likewise on the loot, you say that the magic items belonging to the party are suited for level 12
I was expressing surprise, not complaining.
>Then you say that too many enemies are not dropping loot.
Well, treasure is always welcome.
It's not a huge deal though.
>Then you don't care much when enemies that have pockets and wallets to raid have money and various items on them.
I've been looting them this whole time, haven't I?
>What do you want?
I want to continue the adventure without arguments.
>Would you rather we eliminated that damned cursed crown, we eliminated the agreed upon pay out, we eliminated any possibility of magic items in safes on the ship or artifacts in the research bay, or of rescued NPCs or their families paying out rewards, or of taking pictures of the Traveller and leveraging them for more money - basically if we took every single reward
Of course not.
>You're like a cat that wants to be let outside. Then come back inside. Then let back outside. Then come back inside. Then outside then inside then outside then inside.
Well, sometimes my posts contradict eachother, but they're also made weeks or even months apart, so idk if the cat comparison is appropriate...
>Do you want combat or not?
Sure I want combat.
>Do you want a complete overhaul of the way in which loot works or not?
Idk what you mean by overhaul, but loot is always fun.
>What do you want?
Well, mostly, to level up, but otherwise I just want to play. I'm fine with how things are going.
>It's driving me insane. Fucking pick something.
GM, I appreciate your concern for my enjoyment, but you really don't have to think that hard about it. I have said time and time again that I am fine with the way things are going. The only evidence you need for that is that I am still playing it. I wouldn't still be playing if I didn't like it. I don't play games I don't like, so you don't need to worry about it.
Sure, I had reservations about the rate the story was progressing, or some of the toxic arguments that pop up every month, but I'm still here, aren't I? It's fine. I fine. Your game is fine.
I haven't been meaning to complain, but if my posts come off as complaints, then that is on me. I will be more considerate to prevent showing ingratitude.

A grapple attack consists of:
A touch attack (grabbing/touching the armor)
A grape check (to hold on)
And an anti grape check, to try to fling u off.
Grapple checks are usually strength-based, involve an attack of opportunity (unless u have improved grapple), and the grapple CHECK DOES involve the BAB, it isnt an am attack roll

It suddenly occurs that maybe we will need the marines to survive this,....
So, without getting a consensus, it would SEEM that OOC we're all good with going after the marines next.
If that is the case, my suggestion for both ease and process, that a rousing speech from the coot noodle and doggo would probably sway any in-character motivations.
It would also be a cute way to kick off the next 'round' of full-on gameplay

Another question, are we still leading a daisy-chain of formerly mind-controlled ponies and others? I dont recall getting a clear idea of how we were handling that. Not pressing, Brie probably won't want to release them until trying to board the freighter anyway. Might be useful depending on the mass of forces in thrall.
>>186185
An extension to that question is what do we do with the commies that aren't possessed? Because something tells me they've been marked for death by their own comrades.

I agree, thats important too, but my question is WHERE are they? I had thought we had them in an unfortunate-but-necessary prison chain gang. I recall it being said a while ago that they were staying behind, but who's in charge? Is it the griffons from the whalers ship?
Again, these are informational questions. Nothing is to change.

That was an idea I floated to the commies, but the commies aren't in a position to protect themselves let alone half a dozen of their possessed comrades. Probably we'll end up taking them with us. The non-possessed commies could be potentially convinced to defect, if it seems like this is a kill squad sent to ensure there are no witnesses.
