There's a few things you'll need to specify before I give my answer. I know in a meta sense, you want(ed) Tracy to be able to rank in Assassin, but what - that aside - is the purpose of the Assassin's guild? Does it have a name other than "Assassin's Guild"? Does it have a market, patrons, and clients? I know that those are largely questions for ME to answer, but I'd like you to put some thought into it, as it will better enable you to interact around and shape dialogue, agenda, and pursuit. Additionally, are you seriously planning on filling the ranks of the Assassins exclusively with hoers?

Sorry, that was a lazy answer. The reason is several-fold. For one, the citizens were already cheering Trump's name and cheering for Football. They watched Trump stand against the Dog and endure a brutal onslaught, and there was no question in their minds that Trump was a/the hero. This is WHY they cheered for him. At the same time, Tracy was the one who emerged from the Dog, covered in blood and carrying one of her comrades, and it was Thez after all who made the declaration. Thez was out cold at the time, so she couldn't have rightly known. Furthermore, I had offered that killing the Nerd (and Dog) would allow Tracy to establish an Assassin's guild, and I also said for it to be a spectacle. Since Thez saw that Tracy is not much of a talker, she decided to nudge Tracy in that direction to ensure that her (Tracy's) designs came to fruition. Stories will be told, and sung, and cheered about the magnificent Trump and how he grew to enormous size to fight the beast, and also whispers and rumors will grow about the vicious pony who claimed the head of the nerd and ultimately felled the Dog literally from the inside. There is still a subtle concept (perhaps 'lesson' was a bit pretentious, it was a wake-up, roll over, check phone reply) I am alluding to, and since I spent the previous day wall-of-texting a dialogue that was SUPPOSED to occur after the Dog died (and with/from an entirely different entity, the whole encounter with which was scrapped) I am rewriting the opportunity to express.

In Thez' case, she was 1/2 devil and fully integrated as such. In Tracy's case, it is more of a latent thing that flares up from time to time. I plan to make that a regrettable consequence in future entanglements.
>>19091
Understood, and I am not simply throwing out the rules, but I was trying to be accommodating especially to Tay and Norf, who I didn't want to be burdened with consequences 'cuz they haven't had the time or the opportunity to bathe in the massive amount of rules and designs.

You said that you wrote but lost the Kefka's speech, and should substitute the final fantasy or whatever that was speech it's stead. So am I to take it that Kefka issues a philosophical challenge against the concept of good itself with his final words, talking about how "destruction" is the only thing of meaning?

>Incoming autistic splerge for GM:
I thought of it sort of like an underground, cult-ish, equine-supremacist society, made largely of awakened horses mutated by monster blood. Tracy wouldn't consciously start it out as an organization, but more of as a latent circle of fear in horse society centered around the looming terror of the mysterious pale horse. Horses closet to her could be mutated into creatures capable of performing basic missions. The purpose of the "herd" itself would mostly be for Tracy's enjoyment, and the looming thought that her foal could be growing up in a world without other sapient ponies. I was hoping to gradually mutate and augment normal horses into potential allies with the Awakened Horse template I based Tracy's design off of, gradually growing more sapient and more monstrous through dark magic and consumption of monster essence. Only equines that Tracy considers to be useful would be augmented. The deal with Tracy is that she can speak to horses while most other characters can't, meaning that she could be semi-well-known among equines as a symbol of fear, but still keep her operations secret: because of this, she could extract basic information from horses or even exploit then into doing simple tasks. Since horses are essentially slaves in this society, Tracy could use her money from bounties to buy other horses and """"free"""" them, potentially indoctrinating and/or mutating them as her lackeys.
As for the actual assassins guild, it would mostly be centered around Tracy's personal bounties, and later around those who came to respect/fear her. NPCs of any variety could be hired if a venue were opened, but I'd rather the venue itself be a secret hide-out a way's distance from Port Barry. It could even start out as just a horse's skull on a stake, that hateful "clients" would leave descriptions of targets that they want killed, along with an "offering" of sorts, to be smited by the Ghost Horse.
>tl;dr I want to keep having Tracy killing both assassination targets and monsters to gain both new powers, wealth ,and lackeys by mutating other horses into monsters, until she herself becomes a supernatural symbol of terror among all races, but especially equines. The lackeys themselves wouldn't necessarily be Assassins, but they'd all be her bitches.

Precisely. The spiel was going to be a paraphrasing of that dialogue, except involving references to Kefka and Thez' past interactions. I'll fill those bits in before too long

Good to know, but as far as mutating other hoers, request denied. I can however integrate more awakened hoers, as an element to the story that hoomans are unaware of cuz they don't speak hoers. Hoers are highly intelligent animals, so it stands to reason that there could be hoers of exceptional intelligence that hoomans (especially basic hoomans) are oblivious to. "This one's a rowdy one that don't take to riders" as an example.

Ben would be the guy to speak to, since mirrors were more commonly made of a sheet of polished silver or other metal, sometimes with a sheet of glass overlaid.

Unrelated, but for the purpose of ambiguously (again, not lewd) concluding last night's interactions, I was assuming that Trump would wake up at the base of the tree with Slovenia sleeping peacefully beside him, her head on his leg like a pillow (and his leg probably numb from it, for comedic purposes).

Not that anyone other than Tracy can determine for the time being. Think of it as a scavenger hunt for 'proper' hoerses.

Oh just you wait. The slaying of the Emperor and his pet will embolden and excite all KINDS of differing personalities and interests. ^_^

The way I see the story developing, specifically centered around the dichotomy of Trump and Tracy is parallel to that which develops in the later/ending part of the Naruto franchise, where Naruto is the upstanding righteous and exalted hero, while Sasuke becomes the fearsome, semi-reclusive, and generally vengeful figure.
That's the idea anyway.

Actually, for that purpose. Tracy takes both Ponimaru and Copper's skulls and mounts two Nithings (a vengeful, Germanic pagan curse that cause serious illness or even death upon a household) in both the forest around Port Barry and the crossroads north of Pip village.

I still want to keep operations as secretive as possible. Could disguise herself and spread a rumor around the area that the Nithing Poles are cursed by a wicked spirit to reign death upon whoever's name is left with an offering?

>And she's lonely. Her friend has not come to see her in days.
Wait, wat?
I thought it was only like ~20-ish hours since the fight with Korak. My intention was to have her go visit her as soon as The Game accommodated (I was planning on doing that today, actually) and then meet her on a regular basis.
How much time has actually passed in-game?

I'm confused on this point also. On the one hand, it seems like the fight took place one day after the incident with Korak, but there was also that catastrophic pair of dates and another fight between party members, besides the night where Tay and Nordfilly were introduced, so... Maybe three nights have elapsed around like 52 hours? I don't know, time is weird

... because you never said otherwise iirc, and you compared him to Merlin, and also agreed to the comparison with Dionysus.
As far as the timeframe is concerned, realize that doing anything takes time. Just venturing from the tower to talk to Ben realistically takes a couple hours round-trip, or going to restock potions, or filling a broom-closet with knives, or venturing to sekret lairs,.... Just moving the tower from the big tree back to the stadium would have taken some time.

Tracy rinses the blood off of herself and immediately trots off to visit the new friend that she so graciously abandoned in the forest.

The timeline I think makes most sense is:
4:00 PM (Saturday?): Korak arrives, captures Tracy, group fights him
5:00 PM: Tracy and Trumpaladin go with Korak into town for Revelry
11:00 PM, revelry ends, Trump and Tracy go fuck
11:00 PM - 1 AM, Tourcil shows up, breaks into the ship, and kills people
1 AM - 5:00 AM: Tracy goes to find the treasure, and returns
5:00 AM to 7ish: Trump talks down the pirates then goes to try to get the unicorn or a sufficient sample, fails.
7 AM until 1 PM: Party spends retrieving maps, hiding in the etheral plane, waiting for a break in pirates, or trying to search stables. Tracy eventually catches a break, retrieves the unicorn.
1 PM to 2 PM: Tourcil finally comes out of hiding. A conversation erupts about how to handle Korak's more evil tendencies. Tracy talks to the Unicorn
2 PM to 5ish: Entire party retrieves Jew Treasure
5 PM to like 7 PM: Party fights Korak. Sad Alex arrives and saves the day. Extended fight with Korak. Wrestling between Trump and Tracy over the body
7 PM to 8: Kefka has arrived. Party goes to investigate
8-11 PM: Party says "lol no, I don't want to die right now," and leaves Kefka alone. Tourcil decides to take Troll on a date, and Trump does the same with Tracy. This ends catastrophically with Tourcil forcibly raped and Tracy hanging from a chain.
11 PM -12AM Thez shows up and chews out the party
8 AM to like 5 PM: Party divides spoils of the Korak fight amongst themselves. Tourcil goes into town to retrieve charm potions. Tracy tries to make potions. Hopefully Trumpaladin retrieves DNA from pirates. Then the whole party gets in a massive fight amongst themselves with everyone participating. After that, Thez, Inferius, and Trumpaladin attempt some sort of "how do we fix this damned pony" session while Tourcil is salty. Kittens are spread everywhere.
5:00 PM: Tay and Nordfilly arrive upon a kitten and salt filled tower to find a party more or less tearing itself apart.
6:00 PM to 1 AM: Extended conversation with the new party members, while Nordfilly falls asleep, and Tracy eventually does the same. Bath of Blood.
7AM to 11AM: Party makes whatever preparations are necessary for the fight against Kefka, who has been playing fetch with his companion in the stadium for like 36 hours by now
11 AM to like 4PM: Party fights and kills Kefka, then the Tarrasque
4 PM to 5 or 6: Soros, and then the Golden Lady show up. That whole seen happens
6 PM: Party is freaking exhausted but welcomes back Thez. Most go to thegay bathhouse while Trumpaladin goes and talks to the Unicorn
Now is the start of the new day?
