"I'll make you a deal. I promise to try to curtail some of my more,... enthusiastic proclivities, but I'm going to need a bit more of an explanation. When you all say "mind control", what is it you mean? Are we talking like, drug-addled tweakers?"

Kira: "So, it's like...hunting instincts for you?"

Silver: "No, not quite like they are on drugs. This Traveler seems to be dominating their minds, controlling them like puppets, forcing them to do its bidding. These ponies seem to lack any agency of their own. This one might even have been commanded to retreat just to lure some of us into trap."

Cavaliere sits crossed-legged and cups the tea in his talons. He sips it, appreciating its dark, bitter flavor.
"Ms. Ring suggested it was a type of magical entity that has total control of these ponies and can see and hear through them. I think they have no control over themselves, yet I can't say whether this one fled because of command or out of overpowering fear."
"I have no sympathy for these communists, but they are still ponies who are not responsible for their actions.
We should avoid killing them unless if we have no choice."

Brie does a think [1d20+2 = (12+2) = 14]
So it's one,... pony we'll assume. If theyre looking through the eyes of these ponies, leaving aside how that even works, then the element of surprise is long gone. That certainly agrees with Silver's suggestion that this was a trap.
Fuck, this means theyve seen my technique. Well, perhaps my reputation precedes me?
I sure hope "They" felt it when I stabbed that one pony in the face. I wonder if they feel all the sensations of their thralls.
Eh, commies were thralls to begin with. Its less satisfying killing them for the wrong reason.

"If we're to avoid killing, what are our options? I only have the one pair of hoofcuffs, can we risk collecting mind-controllable ponies to maybe turn on us when theres an overwhelming mass? Do we tie their hoofs and make a daisy chain? Can anything be done to stop the mind control we can be confident of?"

Brie is going to spend the rest of the dialogue from here on out more or less listening, and taking a 10 on his listen check specifically listening to hear if there may be lurkers or shenanigens watching then right now.
So thats a modified 20

"You can have mine," Cavaliere replies, retrieving from his bag a two-pound set of manacles and giving them to Brie. "If we come across any more, we have rope to tie them with, and yes a daisy chain would be helpful. We simply need to incapacitate them until we get to the source controlling them. It is easier said than done, but maybe the communists on the hill will have something on their hooves to help us with it."

Silver: "There is one plan, simple as it is. When we meet with what communists have survived and escaped, we join forces and make assault upon Kostroma. That Traveler is on board, and if we kill or at least banish it from this realm, then he will not be able to summon more monsters or control minds of these ponies anymore. I imagine it will be far more satisfying for you, anyhow, to stab extradimensional being than it will be its puppets."

"From whats been said so far, if I were some sort of cartoon villain, I would use 'our reticence to kill' against us, forcing us to fight through every bystander along the way. Classic attrition and demoralization. I can sleep with blood on my hooves, I'm not sure about some of you."

"If we can help it," Cavaliere stresses, with visible displeasure at Brie's bloodlust. "There have been many times when I have been forced to take the life of a pony or griffon, today being no exception. We must find those airponies and we must stop this 'Traveler' even if more Stalliongraders will die in the process. Nevertheless, if you have one of his thralls pinned, refrain from any sort of coup de grace. There is no glory in slaughter."

I will be away for nine hours so just assume that Cavaliere has dusted himself off, is receptive to any healing that might be provided, and will provide support whenever it's needed.
GM Pone, have you made a map of the Kostroma yet? Now is the time to do it before we go there.

In that event, I would suggest Dust's initial healing check (a 30 something) go to Garv. Up to GM how effective a healer's kit is, and they o ly have 10 uses (but we have 4)

How are you alive.
Okay so
Bat cheese: 16/30 (53.3%)
Grif: 15/29 (51.7%) why is your max so low, what class are you?
Fluff: 41/55 (74.5%)
Snej: 32/34 (94.1%)
Posey: Will probably rape me again if I attempt to heal
Zoob: 34/42 (80.9%)
Priority is the two squishers over there at half, and then floof cause we REALLY need him to be tank. I can pop a cantrip (I know they aren't cantrips on clerics sue me) on Kira because Dust would feel bad for her if this is her first real battle. Dust will make due without healing for now.
The rest of the party finds Dust poking at one of his medical kits, laying open on the ground to take assessment of what he has. Seriously, what do these things do? Heal check bonus? Can I heal HP with 'em?

Cheonic insomnia
Healker's kits can be said to affect fresh qounds, though how effective depends on the healing check and the determination of GM.
I prefer to allow them to 1-time heal half the sustained damage with a decent skill check, but its not my rodeo

>why is your max so low, what class are you?
Ranger/monk, but I also have only average constitution (10) and had unlucky HD rolls.
40 healing kit uses looks like a lot but don't forget the ponies we injured along the way, and the ones we will injure in the future. Party comes first as always, and then the airponies whose state is unknown.

With limited player availability, one assumes that any play would be in the evening. I'll be around to banter/converse, but I've gotten Brie to figure out enough of what he should know that I do 't NEED anything else to compel his behavior in 'the right' direction. Last night was a fucking blast
Okay, so until I learn what healing kits do, the current plan is
>Cure Moderate Wounds x2 on Bat and Grif
>Cure Light Wounds on Fluff
>Cure Minor Wounds on Snej
That exhausts all my level two spells, leaves me with on level 1 slot, and all my level 3 slots.

You have all day to find out. Healing kits will probably take more time to use than using a spell or potion, and we're not in combat. Spells will be invaluable in combat and what we've faced has only been a prelude.

We have a few potions of Cure Moderate Wounds
Now would be a good time to use them. Spell slots are precious.

I'm against it because it's very late in the day, in January, in a northerly altitude. GM Pone hasn't told us what the light level is or how fast it's changing, but we can assume that night is coming quickly. The only thing worse than fighting eldritch abominations is fighting eldritch abominations at night, so we need to move. We were in a hurry in the first place because the cold weather could be lethal for the ponies we have to rescue.
Let's apply first aid for all who need it, meet with the commissar quickly (and leave the captured possessed ponies with that camp), and either clear the Kostroma or find the airponies first. By the time we finish either it will be nightfall (at GM Pone's discretion of course).

I recommend taking out the Traveler first. The possessed ponies and summoned monsters will continue to be a threat as long as it remains. There's also the risk that some of the Navy ponies have become or will end up possessed if the Traveler isn't dealt with.

>we may want to consider resting to recover spells and abilities
As the party Sorceress who benefits from this most, I still firmly disagree.
We are on a time-sensitive quest, and the captain told us we need to locate the Marines before they freeze, heck, before all of us freeze (except Posey, lol). Even if nobody freezes, delaying the mission by a day could compromise our extraction.
This is only our third party-level encounter today: we are supposed to be able to handle 1-3 more encounters of this strength or more before resting.
Then again, nobody else seems to have proper equipment for this level, so idk, maybe we're out of resources... Wealth By Level is really, really, reall important in 3.5e, especially for martials.
Then again, if we could confirm that the Marines are cozy in the light house, we may be able to afford to rest.
Hey, did Kira prepare Animal Messenger? If we send a bird to the lighthouse with a message to fire a flare if the Marines are there, we could know that they are okay.

Also, this will give Brie an opportunity to finish the appraisals, but this is what Im thinking/hoping, that the lighthouse pans out. Brie's suit is insulated, but hes not immune to cold environs

Admitting, I dont know whats 'best', Brie wants to approach this Traveller like a chess opponent, so hes a little more wont to.be cautious/methodical, even if now isnt the time
For HP roll call, reminder that the second cone of fire is not to be applied. That is retconned as actually the Hell Hound should have been dead prior to doing that

I don't know what you expect. I brought everything I thought Cavaliere would need. If anything I overprepared him, because he's at the upper end of medium encumbrance and he will need to shed that weight if it becomes a burden.
>>184114
>Brie's suit is insulated, but hes not immune to cold environs
All furred, warmblooded creatures are better suited to dealing with the cold than an equivalent human character. On top of that Cavaliere is fully clothed and has a leather jacket on to better insulate him. Nevertheless, have you ever been to Newfoundland in January? Night would not be easily survivable. We don't even know if the Gulf Stream is a thing in this setting and place.

Appraisal only takes 1 minute per item. You could finish it in the time Dust is healing.
>>184115
The Traveller is guaranteed to be more intelligent than anyone in this party, and considering that he's already aware of us, I don't know what kind of tactics could surprise him, but if you can think of something that would be good.
He seems to be attacking us with summons instead of his actual powers, so he may be unable/unwilling to attack us directly: in that case, guns-blazing brute force might be the best tactic.
Conversely, he may be attacking us with summons to expend our resources and soften us up to make us easier to kill later. Resting could be tactical, but if he can summon this many entities, what is to stop him from Summoning more to interrupt our rest 4 hours in and prevent us from recovering our rest resources?

Technically, the manacles puts Brie into the low-medium encumbrance, limiting some of his skill checks. He will want to be not carrying the rope and manacles soon, especially if we're to incorporate the camera into the context

Hubris in the form that as a powerful magic user, Posey and Dust are probably the only two he considers a real threat to be concerned about, specifically Posey for her apparent familiarity, and Dust for his anti ebil dispositon.

IC yes but OOC said tactics are limited by the GM Pone's abilities. Hopefully his two million hours into HOI4 make this interesting
"These have had the hallmarks of probing attacks. He's sent just enough forces to test us and force us to show our capabilities. Now that he knows our strengths…and some of our weaknesses…" he stretches his left foreleg painfully "He will not hold back next time."

I think drinking potions takes less time in combat than using a healing kit. Let's save them for when we need some sort of healing and are out of spells.

Wait, it's only an hour? I hate DnD, why can't things be consistent. But I can life with that if we can spare an hour. I can pop the rest of my spells to heal, we spend an hour to rest, and then we pop off. Cause I'm down heavily on slots to begin with.
>>184124
How do I use my kits, someone else took the potions. I didn't take them cause in a party split it'd be better for the other group to have them

Sorry Dust but I don't think we have even an hour to spare. It has to be after four o'clock at this point, if not later (didn't the party set off at noon, on a propeller airplane, and with a transfer?) and the sun will have fully set in an hour. You are still viable without those slots, and do you really want to fighting those things at night?

You can only prepare once per day, but it takes you one hour to prepare.
As a Divine spellcaster, you don't actually need rest to recover spells, but you pray at a specific time each day, and cannot do so again until the same time the next day.
Also, when you prepare spells, consider leaving some slots open, to prepare them later in 10 minutes. Clerics who leave slots open can save all of life's problems in 10 minutes flat.

Okay, I have to be honest. I am extremely lost. I don't even know what's up with the lighthouse. I just know we're looking for lost ponies and there appears to be a griffon cult. Also do I heal on heal checks with a med kit? Help.
>>184136
Wouldn't really help at this point. I'm pretty much done on slots after healing. I can pop some level 3s and 0s and that's it.
>>184135
I can cast light, but I'm basically a worse Silver if I don't have slots.

The griffons and that cursed crown seems like it's unrelated to what's going on with the Traveler. Originally we were going to check the lighthouse to see if the Navy ponies we're looking for a holed up there, but we heard the spooky broadcast from the Stalliongraders and it sounded like they were under attack, so we changed direction to see what's what with them. As it turns out they brought some kind of interdimensional entity with them on that boat and it's taken over the minds of most everyone on that ship, save for a few survivors who made it off. Said entity is also responsible for summoning the demons we're fighting.

As it turns out they brought some kind of interdimensional entity with them on that boat and it's taken over the minds of most everyone on that ship, save for a few survivors who made it off. Said entity is also responsible for summoning the demons we're fighting.

Our MISSION is 10 marines tescued and some equipment destruction. Our increasingly obvious moral imperitive is to kill Zuul before it gets free.
We are on our way to a larger village, and theres something to do with a lighthouse. Not sure if thats "our best vantage to see the Kostromo" or what. Take heart that other characters know and will.guide us along cuz Im missing details too. ^_^

Also, we don't know where the navy ponies are at. It looks like the crash site may have been towards the center of the island, but the ponies could be at the lighthouse, at the old village (unlikely since the surviving communists are there) or at the new village on the east coast. They might be still be at the crash site but they would be sitting ducks there.

If you've read through Amber's last dream sequence, he seems to be the entity that was revealed at the very end. It would mean that the events in that dream are canonized which makes me very sad.
>Do I need to move forward with >>184098 or do we have other means?
Hold your horses (heh) because I will be leaving soon and won't be back for the next leg of the adventure. The consensus seems to be that you should save your spell slots, and it's my personal opinion that we need to quickly talk with the surviving communists before starting the next leg of the adventure before night comes.

Zero. Rosey's mentor is a Dread Necromancer from the league.
Also, she spoke to the traveller, and it didn't seem to recognize her.
Also, it apparently isn't sure what Death is yet, so it cannot be a Necromancer.

Welcome to Dust's Clinic. Unfortunately he doesn't have any lolipops to give out after the checkup. Brie is excluded, only because he already healed himself with a use. Only works once a day. So Dust makes his way along the injured party, looking over their wounds and treating what he can. Dust will take 10 on all the heal checks.

You don't need to prepare Cure Minor Wounds. You can turn any orison into cure minor wounds.
These spells will be useful in combat. You should keep them.
Stone Shape is the only one I don't think will be helpful in combat, but that could be useful in unforseen ways, so you should keep the slot.

So we have 4 potions? Here's what I vote for our final spread.
Brie and Caviar get 1 potion each. That gives them a chance to help themselves if it gets bad. In addition, since both can fly they're in a good position to retreat and take a minute to heal.
Dust, Silver, and Kira can stick together so Dust can easily heal either of them if something goes wrong.
We can put Posey in the back of an ambulance to take her to the horse-pital for her tum tum woes. Deal?

I don't see that one marine surviving being shot through the brain, at least as anything other than as a vegetable. The only reason I don't want double-crits insta-killing is because getting a years-old character killed randomly would suck. The 3x damage modifier is a good homebrew rule (assuming it would be 4x with a 3x weapon).

The Marine Garv shot had 19 HP, which is the same as a level 3 fighter with statistically average hit die. This is kind of high for an NPC enemy, but I think it fits for what I am trying to do. I figured the revolver would crit on a 20 and do 3x damage, which is the same as a Longbow. Please note that Crossbows crit on 19s and 20s, and do 2x damage. Garv's 2d6 damage did 7 damage, which is the exact statistical average of a 2d6 and I think the modal outcome. 3x7 is 21 damage, placing the marine at -2 HP. Death occurs at -10, giving the marine 6 rounds/1 minute to stabilize or die. It won a secret death saving throw the first round after, which would mean it stabilized and did not die, and in any case I think Dust or Silver would have gotten to him before the minute mark.
Is that unrealistic? Is that undesirable, considering that Garv not merely critted, but basically double critted? I don't know. Maybe the marine should be considered dead.

I wish I was aware of the rules for Cavaliere's own weapon. His revolver is lifted from the D20 Modern ruleset, which provides a x2 critical. A x3 critical is very nice and of course I want to keep that statistic, but I don't know why it's lifted from the longbow. I don't want the marine to die, but a double-crit is special and rare enough to deserve a bonus (which is why exploding crits are such a popular house rule). I think a x4 critical would have led to the marine stabilizing at -9 HP, just barely clinging onto life.
It's up to you. None of this was communicated to me.

Please dont make the same mistake I made with Trump
Rosey Ring picks up the rifles from the communists, and gives them to her Dreads. She gives each of them one of her clips of magical rifle ammo.
She takes back her melee weapons.

Veritably, Garv Cavaliere, Silver Sword, Defiant Dust, Brie 86, and Kirafikiiirc return to the party, the latter carrying an unconscious white pony with hoof-cuffs about their 'wrists'. Brie has his hoof on his pistol, and a few fresh scuffs and scrapes to his fine armor wtf is Tenebrous, I want his suit.

We dont speak of them.
Im kidding.
For those unfamiliar, Brie ActungSechsig (86) is named after a particular episode of Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers. The crew runs afoul of mobster mice, and the team's resident pilot Monterey Jack - a notorious cheese lover - is forced to choose between "the best cheese ever" (a wheel of Brie, year '86) or save the lovely Gadget from a horrible cartoon fate. Ordinarily intoxicated by the mere smell of ANY cheese, let alone the best, Monty has to undergo a character breakthrough to save his friend.

In background/game canon, I am attributing Monty's love of cheese to Brie's foster parent, who subsequently named him thus

At first, Vir expects to enjoy the belly rub like one would a massage but she doesn't. Instead, due to Flowercup's light touch and small hoof, it feels smiliar to a feather stroking her. Vir kicks the air and start to giggle.
"Heh heh, that tickles. Stahp!" She makes very weak attempt in her tickled state to remove the tiny hooves poking into her belly made of jelly.

That's a nice little back-story for the name. Now when I think about it, you do like making intricate names that have layers of meaning to them.

Anyway, Rosey Ring takes two of the rifles and gives them to her minions. She gives them magic ammo to fire with.
How much ammo is in a clip? 8 shots?
What kind of rifles are these?

These rifles are fairly long, kind of heavy, have five round internal magazines, and attached bayonets. Wood furniture that has a groove below the action, a magazine that sticks out slightly, and of course a bolt action.
The magical ammunition is an entirely different type. It's an actual crystal modified to a hexagon shape; it will not fit an internal magazine.

Contested.
The firearm is the delivery platform. A fine olatform is entitled to a bonus.
The ammunition is the force-potential, which could also be said to be entitled to a bonus. The bonus of the firearm wouldnt apply increased damage, but aiming/accuracy? Seems plain

Okay, so, a magic rifle is actually something completely different to a magically enhanced rifle. A magic rifle uses crystal ammunition instead of bullets to fire bolts of magic at enemies. They're primarily used by mage corps because of how difficult they are to produce, but their effectiveness in combat is unparalleled.

Consider it in terms of armor-piercing (greentip) rounds from a well tuned sniper, versus plinking rounds from a casual hunting rifle (same calibur, better tool and ammo)

She sits in front of Dark Star, smiling. Sorrel does not sit, but she does not back off either.
"Oh." Tricky pulls a hoof up near her mouth. "Too well to do to notice?"
Sorrel cautiously asks
"Are you... did you lose your home, too?" She asks, looking up towards Dark Star.
Tricky leans over and attempts to whisper with clear annoyance into Sorrel's ear:
"It's not polite to ask that"
Sorrel turns to her
"Just wondering..."

Good to know. That's by 3.5e rules, though, and this game is becoming more homebrewed by the session.

I agree with this one.
Cavaliere takes 10 (+7) to hogtie all the unconscious enemies, just to be safe. He also blindfolds them and plugs their ears.
Including the ties for the captive they took on the beach, how much rope has he used up?

Honestly kinda based. I think it's a good idea to use one of the D&D systems as your base, and then homebrew rules as you see fit in order to fit the game you're trying to play.
