(heard). I HAVE SEEN.
She reaches out her hands, and arcs of energy strike Thez' immobile body (for the record, that whole unconscious bit wasn't planned, Thez just failed a progressive saving throw).
Thez gasps to life, panting furiously.
CHILD, AGAIN YOU DEFY ME. FOR THESE. TELL ME WHY.
As she regains her breath, Thez takes on a defiant stare. "I love them. They are mine, and I am theirs. there is no reason to it."
The woman's eyes narrow again.

The woman reaches out her hand, and allparty members, feel a crushing sensation.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" Thez <whoofs> and unleashes a barrage of attacks which are easily and quickly blocked and diverted.
SO I THOUGHT. YOU HAVE LASTINGLY BROKEN THE LAW.

Thez turns back at the party. "I guess this is goodbye, again. Maybe for the last time."
YOU MISUNDERSTAND MY MEANING CHILD.
Though harsh and oppressive, the voice has a hint of softness to it.
To the party it speaks.
SINCE I HAVE KNOWN HER, THIS CHILD HAS THOUGHT OF NOTHING BUT REVENGE. HER SOLE PURPOSE HAS BEEN THAT OF DESTRUCTION FOR TO THOSE WHO HAVE WRONGED HER OF THAT WHICH WAS PRECIOUS AND DEAR. AND YET. NOW. SHE HAS GIVEN UP POWER, FORTUNE, FAME, AND STATUS, SIMPLY TO STAND AMONG YOU.
THE TRAVEL BAN IS REINSTATED, AND SHALL REMAIN.
"But no!" Thez says
HOWEVER, YOU CHILD, ARE NOT WHOLLY INFERNAL, NOR WERE YOU. I GAVE YOU MY NATURE BECAUSE IT SERVED MY PURPOSE, AND BECAUSE IT WOULD SERVE YOURS. IT IS OF NO USE TO YOU NOW, NOR IS IT OF USE TO ME.

And with a turbulent swirl, the last of anything outside is again banished, removed and gone.
I did say Thez would regress in experience yesterday didn't I?
Soros is again banished (BTFO), outsiders are again verboten except by direct summon, and where stood a purple and maroon devil-girl lies a gray-skinned elf-dwarf, who's only desire is to be amongst her friends.
"Are,... are you ready for some Football?" she days weakly.

As the scene calms, and as invaders are forcibly removed, the scene descends in silence.
"Three cheers for Trump! Three cheers for FOOTBALL!!" Sechs cries out.
The whole stadium erupts in elation. The sound of cheers is deafening. Thez, held aloft by Infernius, and surrounded by her dear friends - old and new - cries the first tears of joy she has ever known.
Game, set, and match.
Norfilly gains 4 levels, Tay gains 2 levels, and everyone else gains one. Also the armed and mobilized citizens gain three. All prosper on this glorious field of Football, most expressly Thez, who gains nothing,... except the leave to be amongst her friends.

Trumpaladin, still holding the pony (if pony accepted. If not, then not holding the pony) addresses the crowds:
"What happened here to tonight has impact far greater than any before. Probably far greater than any of us standing here can imagine. We have - all of us here - freed ourselves from a great evil, one that has for long oppressed this and many lands. In the closing hours of this great struggle, the fight was lead not by the party members, but by the citizens themselves, who could stand idly by no longer, but took control of their destiny. In that, they learned the true meaning of Football - to be not just a lone individual, but a part of a team. To be a part of something greater than yourself, and to make its fortunes and glories your own. When you do this, you become more powerful than any individual, capable of greater glories. You are immortal, as you can never die so long as your comrades live on.
I will return to aid in where we go for here, but for now, our team must rest. Continue in the revelry. You deserve it"

Thez, (assuming Infernius releases her) walks up to Tracy, and grabs her hand firmly (but not aggressively). Addressing the crowd (she hasn't lost ALL her magic) her amplified voice resounds.
"Citizens of Port Barry. Behold, she who slew the Terrasque. Behold, she who bears the head of Kefka. Look on her and tremble!"
She smiles sidelong at Tracy.
More cheers erupt from the surrounding people.
"They will sing songs of you now," Thez winks.
>>18953
I was gonna have Kefka wink out in wisps of magic, but go for it. ^_^

Trollestia saunters up next to Torcuil.
"Good scotsman, I have done you a disservice. I thought my actions best, given that I have never known a hooman who had noble intentions. I admit to having wronged you. If you ever have need of an ally, or a companion, I am yours to call upon."

Yes, but Torcuil is Merlin in a sense (and in a different life so to speak). He's never been about recognition, only about doing and being proper. And he is most proper.

Thez runs up to Tay.
"He... hey. I just wanted to say that,... I'm a big fan. I still want to,... y'know,... sing some time. Also,... oh nevermind," she blushes. "Let me know if there's anything I can do for you," smiles meekly but still wide-eyed.

Coldly, almost as if not talking to Inferius, but past him. To no one:

"Inferius, I have much to explain to you later, when we are alone and have time. I experienced a revelation during the fight"
Thez smiles, first at Trump, then at Infernius.
To the latter, she says. "I'll only be 32 seconds, precisely," and to the former she says "Shhh, don't fight it." <whoof>
Both Thez and Trump appear at a meadow with a small creek/river running through it.
"She's just beyond these waters. And she's lonely. Her friend has not come to see her in days. The way back is to the south, follow the path past the large tree. Don't tell Tracy I told you. ^_~"
And exactly 32 seconds after appearing, Thez <whooofs> back to Infernius.
"Sorry, it was business," she smiles at him. Leading the way to the new bath house (not my idea, but) it becomes apparent that there are two main tubs, one filled with blood, the other filled with purified water.

As Trump continues north, he sees a large and serene tree, not like the one that hid the jew hoard. As he approaches he notices the grass is long and undisturbed, flowing in the breeze. As he glances at it, a voice calls from behind the tree. "Who,... who goes there?"

Sorry, I mistook your meaning. I thought that you interpreted my 'leaving the proceedings open to the imagination' (not in a lewd sense, but in an endearing and sincere-but-otherwise candid sense) as something that might parallel what happened with Trollestia and Torcuil, or you for that matter.

Kek, I'll fill in what would have happened for you: Trumpaladin asks Slovenia much about herself, but really, tries to spend the night talking to her the way girls talk to other girls. That is to say, he uses her mostly as a wall against which to throw his negative emotions and his dis-contentedness, maybe trying to seek sympathy or company with her in that regard. Basically, he tries to make her a confidant, possibly taking advantage of how she's sort of a captive audience.
He eventually falls asleep there in the meadow, partly because he doesn't want to go back, partly because he's too tired, and mostly because he doesn't know the way back.
I was eaking at the implication that she gave him her real name

Kek, I'll fill in what would have happened for you: Trumpaladin asks Slovenia much about herself, but really, tries to spend the night talking to her the way girls talk to other girls. That is to say, he uses her mostly as a wall against which to throw his negative emotions and his dis-contentedness, maybe trying to seek sympathy or company with her in that regard. Basically, he tries to make her a confidant, possibly taking advantage of how she's sort of a captive audience.
He eventually falls asleep there in the meadow, partly because he doesn't want to go back, partly because he's too tired, and mostly because he doesn't know the way back.
I was eaking at the implication that she gave him her real name

Okay seriously, why is Tracy creditted as killing the Tarrasque? Under the order she had already gone that round, when she threw the grenades and blew her hoof up. When Nordfilly cast determination, it was the last move of that round. The next move would have been mine and the Tarrrasque's, with Thez and Trollestia moving before Tracy

Here's the thing. Binging on those "how to be a great PC/GM" has brought a few things to mind, and while I appreciate MUCH of the insight that is presented in those videos, it also highlights one of my issues with tabletop games in general, and why I set out to craft this Game in the first place.
For one, while the rules are most useful in maintaining a degree of cohesion to the "game engine", outside of having a computer to verify that each and every rule is followed, including every modifier and attribute, there are points where it all becomes 'too much', especially with regard to the flow of the game. There are all sorts of (too many?) little tweaks that can be applied that change the gameplay dramatically, but without improving the quality.
Take this example, if anyone had taken the Improved Initiative feat (and I had applied it) that could have changed the order of activity for the whole fight. This would have lead to an entirely different process, but in order to appreciably allow for that I would have to make certain that every player knew about "Improved Initiative", as well as the whole slough of feats and modifiers, and skills, and what have you. That level of investigation or dissemination might be fun or viable to players who have little or nothing to do with their free time than read through the books countless times (which I've done and I STILL miss shit all over the place), but since everyone here has better things to do (mostly Xp), I prefer to just play the frickin' game and creatively ad-lib when in doubt. I mean, I didn't even bother to precisely calculate most character's modified AC, simply because the dice are more than able to indicate the rough probability of success, within a reasonable margin of error.

This is really the most fun way. Rulecucking The Game too rigidly might also discourage other players from joining. As long as I can still keep doing cool stuff, I'm satisfied.

Likewise. Any time I've joined a new group, the GM has insisted I spend 2-3 hours spelling out every detail of a character, when the gross majority of those details never even come into play (including HP, skills, etc.). Fuck that shit. I mean yesterday I was particular about setup and preparation (both cuz I was multi-tasking and cuz otherwise it would have been a slaughter; imagine if the party had walked in in a group and just attacked the Dog!) but that was an exceptional case.

Yeah. New players don't normally have an Archmage and a Tarrasque as their very first enemies.

Can I advance the augmentation of Tracy's alternate form? She ate like 1/4
of Soros last night.

Certainly not, but that gives me reason (not that I needed it) to open up all sorts of inter-city/inter-state commerce which was being stifled by the Emperor's presence.
>>19082
No, in fact, I was going to have Sothelehren (the gold-lady) remove the existing Soros-essence from Tracy upon their departure. I didn't, but I'm still strongly considering it. Xp

I had intended it to become the official game-ball of the Denver Bronco's, with the lingering threat of it being used by nefarious forces to bring back the Dog at some point.
Whoops, I've said too much!

I kind of wanted to make some cool armor out of its carapace and scrape the body for mutagens, but an official ball is good too.
Before she loses her Ebil powers, can Tracy begin mutating other horses for her Assassin cult?

For sake of progress and narrative, I will say this:
Since the game world existed before the PCs began their participation, there was naturally a variety of agendas and factions operating entirely independent of the PCs activities. NOW, the PCs have become among the most critical aspect of the entire world, having slain the grand tyrant and the horrible and oppressive regime he had enacted on the world. There are still factions and all, but suddenly (from the outside perspective) there is a new "game" in "town", and the existing story/narrative is vastly less significant and central to the story. Simply put, I apologize that the story has been so linear from this point, and my efforts will now be focused on allowing the PCs the ability to entirely direct the focus and direction of both the party, the Port (as well as the communities they interact with), whether through individual or group exploration.

I didn't say I'm going to yet, I'm just holding it over your head should she use her abilities to malign the party further. Xp

Can she start the indoctrination/mutations though? Maybe add some Fiendish templates to some local equines?
It's also nice to get some individual exploration. Now I don't need to be as sneaky with her edginess.

That's why I asked if the removal of any and all outsider presence meant any and all. It seemed to me that, well, all traces of outsider would be removed if Thez lost the demonic elements that in part defined her
