The latest segment of our little adventure begins with the party frozen stiff,... because we ended it on a still-frame. Trump is bleeding and bruised, with an almost unnoticeable limp, while Tracy is still shuddering from Trump's ill placed hand earlier. Thez is nearby flicking giant-brain from her shoulder, while Giga-Torcuil - essentially a giant bearded scotsman in a plaid robe - wrestles with a 7-headed hydra (and losing I might add).
By the way, had I remembered that there was a hydra in MLP, I'd have used imagery much sooner.
Crap, wrong image.
There. So that, except with 7 heads, and most of them have a grip on Torcuil's 'not suited for wrestling with hydras' forearms. He's a bit of a bleeder it looks like.
For those not in the know, this is the continuation of a hybrid Dungeons and Dragons campaign which has been modified to suit anonymous image-boards. New players are always welcome, please just announce your interest in playing and we'll figure it out as we go.
Lurkers are welcome, please don't be disruptive. ^_^

>>2255No, I meant it how I said it. We get alot of french-canadians where I'm at, and I want to make it clear I have no fucking clue what they just said, so don't even try. ^_^
>>2256"Technically yes, though my faggot can kinda sorta nudge characters in a direction that would make sense for their personality, to the degree that such personality is known. Take you for example, my faggot knows that you would be planning in your faggot's absence, and would assume you are doing such things in such cases." ^_~
>A rubber chicken appears in the air for a moment and then disappears"Technically, anything is possible."
>>2260Oh *joke flys over head*
>>22595/7
Would shag the burd again
>>2256By the way, may I suggest that you so inquired from cover? You rolled a 20 on your hide check and I'd hate to waste it.
>>2262>hide checkJust wear leather if you want stealth
>>2263>hide checkYou're trolling right? Plz tell me that was a pun.
>>2264Nope
You should wear leather armor if you want stealth
Cause its made of Hide "By the way, I'm surprised you guys didn't make anything while we were back at 'base'. I'd have thought you might wanna beef ur stuff, rather than just hoarding some of it," Thez says while staring up into the trees.
Oh yeah, the trees. The area you're passing through is very obviously overgrown with no human interaction for an indeterminably long time. Birds flitter through the trees and deer can be seen running and foraging in the distance. It is as though this place has been forgotten.
>>2265>>2263Can I equip that Hydra leather? I don't mind Tracy's lack of ability to craft decent clothing: it just has to look trashy.
>>2271Poncho, hood, and the trashiest leggings you can imagine.
>>2273I was thinking more goth-ish, but sure.
>>2272All good, though note that hydra-hide doesn't improve armor class, though it does give a 5-point damage reduction (for that degree of layering)
>>2280888 8 888 8 88 88888 888?
>>2279As long as it looks awful, that's fine.
>>2282"Except you of course, I like the look," Thez comments sidelong as the gate begins to be apparent in the distance.
>>2269My apologies, I had overlooked that. That is something he would have been doing while he was definitely not getting raped. If you'd like, you can have a bow, though a war axe would take more time to fabricate.
>>2283I walk towards the gate too
Also be bacm in a min
Does anyone want BGM, or are you all good?
>>2286Nah, let's just get this shit started. I got work tomorrow.
The party approaches an enormous archway made out of stone, at the center of which is a thick, heavy, iron door long rusted over.
>>2284Huzzah, I'll take a bow. Let's go with English Longbow, since it's quality, but would take less time to fabricate than the technically superior Asiatic composite bow.
also it makes a good melee weapon to smack little ponies with, when they are out of line >>2290>that spoiler>>2289I hit the door with my staff
>>2290careful, they might like itThe archway shades the area, so it is pretty bare soil around the gate. The door that is exposed is about 20' tall, though the remainder that lies under the dirt can't be determined. There doesn't appear to be a mechanism to operate it (buried?).
>>2291The door feels solid to the strike.
[1d20 = 1][inspect stones around the edge of the door]
>>2295>not referencing your mixtape >>2296Eh my mixtape is shit
But I mean ya know whatcha gonna do
Trump checks to make sure that there is in fact an unscalable wall around the enclosure, to be sure he can't just walk around the gate
>>2298Oui, sorry I wont have memes for awhile cause mobile posting
>>2300Nah, this wall is like, easily 100' up.
[1d20 = 5]
[Inspect crease of door/knob for clues]
>>2301Very well. Fireball explodes in a burst, with no apparent effects.
Thez crosses her arms and thinks for a moment.
[1d20 = 11]
[Looks up at the top of the door]
Roll for detection.
>>2304Unknown at this point, you would have to inspect the outside of the wall.
>>2306You notice a small birds nest occupied by an even smaller bird.
Thez starts walking around, grabbing sections of wall and tapping at others.
"Well, I could climb it, but I have no idea how to get you guys past. Let me see,..." she begins digging in her crossbow quiver.
>>2313>>2312"What? Did you all expect an original idea?"
>>2314YYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHH
>>2317Anyone bring an ice pick?
Ohhh TRUMP HIT IT WITH SOMETHING
"Whoa, now you're onto something! If we hit it right, we may be able to shatter it," looks around for something to hit it with.
>Friendly reminder, Tea is in 30 minutes
[1d20 = 17]
Trump considers hitting it with his sword, but realizes that would damage his sword, and the same with his bow, while the shield can't focus the impact well enough.
Check for a rock?
[1d20 = 15]>>2321Obviously I thought about using Tracy, but she's just too soft for it
Fuck it. Trump picks up Tracy and beats the door with her
>>2323But this one has a think skull
5/7 for getting my refernce
>>2324THE MADMAN ACTUALLT DID IT
>>2322"Aha! Coming right up!" Thez grips her broom and twists the handle. Jerking the handle apart, she reveals two curved blades of a damascus pattern, in the shape of a particular japanese sword that's name escapes me for the moment.
She walks toward the outer section of the wall and buries both blades into the stone. With an exerted twist, she spins the blades inside the stone, until a conical chunk of stone about the size of a medicine ball pops out.
>>2324R u serious? I mean, in order to do that you would need to land an attack roll (which you have), land an additional grapple check, and then land another attack roll. So, 2 more 20's
>>2328This is Tracy we're talking about here. She's not going to resist being grabbed bodily, so it's really like just picking up a rock, except the rock gets sexually aroused
>>2329*hooves forward in battering-ram position*
>>2332That hurts, and doesn't seem effective.
[6d6 = 20]
[1d20 = 11]
Thez picks up the rock and tosses it to Infernius.
"You, the barbecue sauce mascot, make yourself useful."
Infernius, who was standing there with drool coming out of his mouth, suddenly comes to awareness as though having been asleep. He looks curiously at the rock, then the gate, comprehends the situation and then heaves the rock at the frozen gate.
[2d4 = 6]
Cracks appear on the surface of the door, but it remains. Infernius stands there for a moment, wondering what to do until Thez kicks him in the ass toward the rock. He gets it, and proceeds to pund the door another that many times until it crumbles apart, causing the entire arch to collapse, crushing everyone.
I'm just kidding, the gate is clear.
>>2332But if Tracy's front hooves are used to batter the door, rather than say the rear, the hand Trump would have to have the firmest grip with is the one that transfers force into the pelvic bone. And that's an awkward grip
The other side of the gate is like this one, a clear section leading up to massive overgrowth, however beyond that can be seen gradually descending hills overlooking a valley, including several rivers of varying size leading to a large (though not as large as the ones you just passed) walled city.
"Huh, this whole scene is different. Last time we were at the base of two mountains, this time it looks like we're on one," Thez comments as the party clears the archway.
"I really don't know what to expect," she says, re-sheathing her blades. "In any case, at least there are actual people we can talk to now." As she says this, she puts her mask back on and twitches it by the chin. Her appearance shifts, and she reverts back to the form of Urri, the cowardly hippy who first greeted the party upon their entrance.
"Oh, so it was you the whole time..." Tracy grumbles.. still shaking on her hooves from the force of the impact.
"Maud made it look so easy..."
>>2343"Well, Urri was an old friend of mine, he's the one who made this metal," she says, tapping the handle of her broom with her claw which 'tink tinks'. "If I walk around looking like I normally do I either get doors shut in my face, or someone decides they want to die
tries to have their way with. This allows me to stay below the radar."
Thez wipes her hands in a satisfaction.
"You're welcome," she smiled to Tracy.
Are we going to play again?
>>2353Nothing too involved, but I could go a bit
>shameless blogpost
>mfw girlfriend is 3/4 thru season one of MLP and is watching in the background
>>2356Ok...
I'm getting pretty tired though..
>>2357We can wait, I don't even know if anyone else is still around
