[1d20-1 = (14-1) = 13] rolling again to.calm down
>>183622With +
23 circumstance bonus cuz dubs and hugs
>>183622>>1836242x 15 gang gang, Brie isnt freaked.
However, Brie still thinks killing the sheep is a good n idea
>>183614How far are we from the village?
>>183616The zeeb is indeed pat. While his expression doesn't change, his tail does swish a bit and his ears do flick a little.
>>183613Dust lets out a deep sigh, he plods up to Posey and taps her on the shoulder. His expression can only read as... Umbrage as he gestures towards the arms.
>>183629"Yes?" she replies, feeling the tap on the wither
She notices the gesture
"Oh, are you wondering where I got these? They were gifts from a friend of mine, in as a reward for some religious services. I am glad I brought them along."
>>183614>Brie has the fortune of Posey sitting down, meaning that his biggest distraction is not so visibleuwu
Brie begins most jovially and ALMOST charismatically, but gradually deepening in intensity, speed, and harmonic pitch.
"I appreciate the wont to be generous to the small sheep. It certainly seems otherwise innocuous, only needing a prestidigitation spell and a meal to make right as rain, but I'll also suggest - crazy that this may sound - this particular sheep spoke to me in a language Ive only ever heard a couple times that 'Im not supposed to admit to being able to recognize."
Mended Horn group - please assume a formation and communicate that formation to me. Clearly.
>>183617poofThe filly is fluffed up now, and comes closer towards equaling Vir's great size advantage over her
"Well uh, you said I'm 'cute'. You know what? I think
you're cute."
She scrunchy stares at the mare.
>>183618The ewe turns to look back towards Brie
>>183619It's not like he's trying to fuck them.
Reveal your Power Level. Dark Star needs training trying to convince normies of his grand plan, anyways. These are displacies; they should be easier to convince than the average mare.
Sorrel:
"That seems a little strong to say that they hold contempt for us. Like... are we really superior? I know we ponies have a long history but... surely they have some too, right?"
Tricky:
"Although if somepony is going to be receiving hoof outs, shouldn't it be other ponies? We can't even get jobs here."
Roll Diplomacy or Charisma to try to persuade them further.
>in conclusion zebrica should be burned and saltedAbsolutely fucking based.
>>183623Now you've infected Kira with the bad luck! And she was the luckiest member of the party!
>>183624>+23I'm sorry. If it were with both Kira and Mala I could accept a +23, but as it is with only Kira I'm going to have to cut that to a +14
>>183628It's still a trek
>>183631Dust's eyes narrow as an eyebrow cocks
"You and me both know
That's not what I mean
These are not your arms
And that causes alarm
To necromancy I am not green
So please my dear, cut the crow"
>>183638Kira takes point again. Silver gets in behind her because they'll need a pony who can speak Cyrillic/Severyanan when they encounter the Stalliongraders.
>>183638Its a crossed out 2, +3 cus argued circumstance, so 16
>>183638>please assume a formation and communicate that formation to me. Clearly.I think the same formation as last time is appropriate.
Posey's Dreads fly remain on either side of her.
Silver has the most HP, so maybe he should be in the front.
>>183638>>183642Dust will be in the middle near Posey, mainly to keep an eye on the mare. And hopefully to get some answers
Are we getting ready to do combat? I need to know like now cause I was just asked if I could go do something >>183643>mainly to keep an eye on the marePosey gives a bit of a smug grin
"Do you see something that you like?"
>>183638I had put Brie in a flanking position wrt Kira before the sheep. He would revert there, assuming this gets reaolved, but emhe still has the sheep at 25' gunpoint
>>183647Atm he
And consider it a ready action to shoot if the sheep runs
do it >>183649It doesn't have to run. We're walking away from it.
>>183651I hope you and all appreciate, Im not trying to be cruel. i am starting with 'business as usual' for Brie, increasingly as he goes down tbe rabbit hole, both morally and existentially. Having said,...
>>183638Pop pop I'll roll an attCk roll, but Brie would kinda yeah
>how to get cursed by Orcus 101
>>183655
Rosey makes an attack of opportunity to disarm with her halberd Brie bas he fires
[1d20+5 = (18+5) = 23]
With a free action Demoralize check
Intimidate
[1d20+17 = (3+17) = 20]
Also DC 21 Frightful Presence
Both of her Dreads make disarm AoOs
Sword
[1d20+7 = (9+7) = 16]
Bow (Claw)
[1d20+3 = (20+3) = 23]
Sprry. I forgor.boundaries. has screenshot, wanting to shoot
>>183657Disarm:
1. Provokes AoO
2. Assumes more.or less ready
3. Profit
>>183659So. Attack roll in opposition of disarm
[1d20+9 = (16+9) = 25] >>183660Trip attack [provoking attack of opportunity]
>>183660Your're holding a ranged weapon, so you don't have anything to AoO.
>>183650Sorrel
"Yeah, I don't really know zebras very well, but I do think it would have been better if the princesses had focused on, you know, killing changelings."
Tricky:
"Are zebras really that bad though?"
>>183654>>183652So there's two ways to look at this.
Either Brie is so horribly cursed that he absolutely cannot afford another curse, or
Maybe this is the best chance to break the curse.
>>183638Size advantage is now nullified. Rolling
[1d20+99 = (18+99) = 117] opposed
cutenessVir smirks.
"Well what should we do with a cute filly like me then?" Vir says gets low like a predator while closing the gap between them. "Does she deserve to be pet?"
>>183661>>183660You didn't specify a target: who takes the AoO? Posey, or her two minions?
Also, Will saves for the Demoralize and Frightful Presence.
>>183666Hold up. Theres necessary clarity here Satan
Brie did shoot the sheep 2x, with 24 on both attack rolls (arguably both 22, but w/e)
>>183667AoO is resolved before the action.
One of the Dreads rolled a Nat 20 to disarm you, do you were not able to shoot, unless you roll another nat 20 to oppose the disarm.
>>183645"I am prepared to cut you a deal
In your place I would consider it a steal
So please hear of my mission
And ponder carefully my conditions
Necromancers of the north
And the terrors they give birth
Leagues of the undead
Have yet to turn a pony's head
Connections you seem to own
Connection that I wish I would have known
In my quest for the information
You could provide me with some revelations
I must kill undead this is true
But I may yet strike a deal with you
For a time you I can spare
If information you will bear
If you do not antagonize
I can turn a few blind eyes
But in return I ask
More info after our task"
Y'all interrupted, thanks Xp
The thing about a fluid trap supression system is that it ISNT quiet, its just not unbearably loud. Instead of a gunshot, a loud clapping of the hooves
>>183665terrified squeakyAs if hit by a direct solar flare, blown away by by Vir's cuteness
She cowers in fear
squeaky>>183668>>183667>>183666Why are you engaging in PvP over a stupid sheep?
Why does Posey have these bullshit "hey I get two extra free attacks with free hands at full attack bonus while I can use my
hands hooves to cast spells just because hehe"?
Why is Brie within Posey's AoE radius when he can literally fly and there are no physical impediments to him moving away?
I mean I guess if you're having fun, then sure, it's fine. But it's mind boggling to me.
Also to reiterate, Brie would be operating on a ready action to operate a firearm. There is no way Rpsey can position themselves to intercept without intercepting now (which will be bad, I warned you about this)
>>183671Im trying to be nice, should I nt? Xp
So, does anyone have any REAL reason Brie ISNT about to shoot the sheep?
Flowercup being blown away by Vir's cuteness, colorized
>>183664"They're even worse than I made them out to be, they're loathsome, detestable, hate able, Nature's mistake. Look at zebrica, they didn't even have the wheel there, before We found them on the Worst continent to ever exist."
>>183669"Umm, I don't know what you are talking about..."
Bluff
[1d20+14 = (20+14) = 34]"Is this about my helpers here?" She says, referring to her
I can assure you that they are harmless."
>>183671>Why are you engaging in PvP over a stupid sheep?Because I like the sheep, and Posey believes it is a sign of fate.
If I intended PvP, I would have just attacked his body, not disarm.
>Why does Posey have these bullshit "hey I get two extra free attacks with free hands at full attack bonus while I can use my hands hooves to cast spells just because hehe"?She's not casting any spells. She did cast any last combat either (she cast chill touch before the fight).
>Why is Brie within Posey's AoE radius when he can literally fly and there are no physical impediments to him moving away?He said he was next to Kira, and Posey is right behind Kira. Posey also has a reach weapon.
>>183673Posey is right next to you.
And you said your readied action was if it ran away. It did not run away.
>>183677Hmmm... Roll another diplomacy roll to impart wisdom.
>>183678Reeeeee I was offering you an OUT for obvious displays of necromancy you horn head.
Sense motive I guess
[1d20+4 = (10+4) = 14] >>183671>free handsAre you referring to the Dreads?
The Artaaglith animated them back in the swamp. They've been folded up in Posey's bag ever since.
They are not full attack bonus.
>>183675Do not kill the sacred sheep. The sheep is Rosey's friend.
>>183680Dust is heavily suspicious of this bitch, but he's backing off.
For now
>>183681If it hasnt run, it hasnt gotten shot
>>183680On the basis that you got +20 to that check for an obvious lie, it could be a tie.
Rosey Ring humors him anyway.
"But I do know quite a bit of... Dark magic subjects. What is the knowledge that you seek?"
>>183683Kira is still insistent on not shooting the sheepy. She will be very cross if sheepy is shot.
>>183684"Knowledge on raising of the dead
To take me where my fate has lead"
>>183689>raising the dead"I do not know any such spell. My knowledge of reanimation is purely hypothetical."
(This is not a lie, unlike Clerics, who get it at lvl 5, Dread Necromancers only get animate dead at lvl 8)
"But I do know of it. In fact, I could talk about it all day." She says, with a bit of a geeky expression
"What sort of questions can I help you with?"
>>183681>>183685Appreciated, but there isnt a pony in 100mi who knows the phrase that tjis fucking sheep just said to Brie.
Im trying to be compromising, bur blat blat imo, and Inhave deuce 24's
>>183691You also got a nat 20 AoO to disarm you.
And you don't preemptively roll readied attacks. Either you shoot it or you don't.
>>183638How long would it take us to reach the village from here? I'm asking to see if I should pre-cast any spells.
>>183693Uhm, sorry, but fuck your dreads. Addy has dreds, is she in play? No. So anyway.
I would attempt to discourage you, but this is what, our 12th?
>>183695Would Brie still shoot the sheepy even if Kira looked at him with her cutest pleading face?
>>183685Kira is the only thing preventing Brie from double tapping, atm
>>183688Tricky:
"Wow... You know, I saw a zebra as a cook in a restaurant I went to see if there was help wanted. And I thought, or really, I am thinking, why does that zebra get the roll and not me? I am a better cook, surely, as is Sorrel here... I hadn't really thought of it that way until you said something about it... But yeah, you're right."
>>183681>Do not kill the sacred sheep. The sheep is Rosey's friend.Oh, but Mala can just be run off when he's in the way
>>183683Oh it's going to run. It ain't going to stick around
>>183689Mala cautiously moves up
"Another undead hunter?"
>>183695>>183697Brie gets the sense that the sheep is popular.
Perhaps his best move is to speak in person as to why the sheep should not be so popular
>>183697Kira: "Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssse?"
Kira looks at Brie with her big, pleading lamia eyes.
Okay, again:
Physically, where is everyone relative to each other?
>>183701Kira's taken point to scout for danger. Silver is just behind because the party will need him to speak with the Stalliongraders.
>>183701I assumed kira was at 12 o clock, and Brie was toward 10 or 11
>>183701Posey is somewhere behind Silver, talking to Dusty.
I have to step out to cook dinner. Brb in 30-45 mins
Brie expresses visible exasperaton. Still, the pistol is on the sheep
>>183707Kek
Hw still hasnt fired, nor relaxed
Fine time for it to bolt if so inclined
>>183709May I attempt again to see if a friendly snek hug can get him to relax?
>>183710Can't fire a ranged weapon while
grappled hugged. Do it.
>>183710Yes, but meta. Ill roll the ammended (cuz comf hugs) roll now. But Brie got some funstyle splainin to do
[1d20+12 = (19+12) = 31] >>183712Slappity slappity, dont get bappity
>>183713No Combat reflexes, which means you've spent your AoO and can't prevent Posey's Dread from disarming you.
[1d20+7 = (13+7) = 20] De-escalating.
Brie wants it dead. But doesnt want to make ponies angry
>>183714You and your silliness. I try to play fair, and almost win every time
If the disarm is successful, Posey uses her other Dread to shoo away the sheep with a Run action (it has Frightful Presence), while Brie is still disarmed.
This would resolve the situation.
>>183699Dark Star Sneers as she talks about the zebra in the kitchen cooking food
"Filth, i bet they don't even wash their filthy striped hooves degenerate scum."
He smiles at them then says
"I bet you two could, make the best waffles."
>>183712Eh, might at well try it. Snek hug!
[1d20+13 = (13+13) = 26] I'm here!
>>183506"The way you describe it implies that this 'Far Realm' you know of is larger than our own universe.", Cavaliere remarks.
>>183502He also notices Mala's remark and the cleric's response.
"I don't see any good reason to butcher and eat sapient creatures," he comments to Silver with evident disapproval.
"I am a griffon and I eat meat, while you are a pony. Where are your harmonist morals and why are you dismissing one of those most basic principles as a mere 'social norm'?">>183514>Can we identify any of them, or are they unknown, ambiguous homebrew aberrations?I would assume you need ranks in dungeoneering knowledge to even try.
>>183518>Reminder that a camera was a part of the given equipment for the missionI forgot who took it
>>183522>>183530"I am surprised any livestock has survived this long on an abandoned island," he mutters.
>>183582Calm down, Welshman
>>183638>>183701Cavaliere sticks with Silver, abetter of cannibals or not, and discusses the approach to the village with him. Mainly, that as Silver is the only one to speak Severanyan he is their sole interpreter. Stealth is useless now because of the gunshots and an open, honest approach would be best. Silver should talk with the Commissar but the party should keep an avenue open for retreat since communists cannot be trusted. Of course, he should stick with the pirates alibi and under no circumstances admit working for New Baltimare. The griffon sealers should be kept hidden and away from the village.
>>183717I think Dark Star should tone down the rhetoric if he wants to get anywhere with the average pony>>183720Are you going to oppose the disarm or not?
Also Kira has you grappled.
I'm still here for another 30 minutes, btw
<If they get dreads, I get the gatli g, right?
>>183724So no, you don't resist the disarm?
Good then.
>>183728Everyone is a zigger to me man
>>183729CAn we have this convo when Broe isnt 1000km away?
>>183726I'll be clear.
So long as you are about to shoot this sheep, I will use every method at my disposal to prevent it. My characters actions are just as valid as yours.
A ranged attacks provoke AoO, and both of Posey's minions can fly.
>>183723Go buy one then.
>>183719Glad you are here, but I am going to have to leave to serve dinner in a little bit.
>>183727No, Cavaliere is a griffon.
>>183733Not a problem, let's pick up after.
>>183719Mala
"What? No..." Mala looks away, lowers his head and ears, and his eyes dart back and forth
>>183721>>183725He's upset that you're trying to use bullshit cheese hax in PvP
Which... Yeah. he should be
>>183727Acshually, he's a black griffin
>>183731Dude, it's a fucking sheep
I don't know if this is the silliest thing to get caught up over, but it's pretty damn close
>>183731If posey is willing to make so strong a stance, they should make as strong a case
Or risk getting shot
>>183738Kira's case is that it's the fog messing with everyone's minds. Also that she's really cute and she doesn't want sheepy to be shot.
>>183736>bullshit cheeseHow is a disarm check bullshit cheese? It's basically SRD material.
>>183738>Or risk getting shotI'll take it if the sheep gets away in that time.
