>>184117Technically, 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
>>184118His obvious weakness then will be pride/hubris. How we exploit it will likely depend on details we dont have yet
That goat was creepy as shit, btw
>>184113I mentioned giving the party at least four potions of cure moderate wounds. No one seemed to want to even take note of it
>>184122Good.
>>184121Posey's weakness is pride/hubris. I already tried taunting him in a contest of hubris. He might be too smart for that.
>>184124I mentioned those earlier. I thought other players took them.
I think we should use them now, and save spell slots.
>>184125Hubris 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.
>>184118IC 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.">>184125I 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.
"Much better. Yes, I wager it was watching us through that foul goat."
>>184110Wait, 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.
>>184124How 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
>>184132Sorry 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?
>>184132You 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.
>>184136Wouldn'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.
>>184135I can cast light, but I'm basically a worse Silver if I don't have slots.
>>184138You still do more damage in combat than me. You'll be fine, probably.
GM
How far are we from the village?
>>184138The 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.
>>184138Our 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. ^_^
>>184144W-who's the traveler?
But I think I know what's going on now? Maybe.
Do I need to move forward with
>>184098 or do we have other means?
>>184138>>184144Also, 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.
>>184146If 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.
>>184146>>>184144>W-who's the traveler?Some Cthulhu-like Aberrant entity from another realm that is controlling the communists.
It claims to be a friend, but its brutal mind control is decidedly hostile.
>>184149Meta, but I almost suspect that the crown belonged to the Traveler, and we may be returning the precious,....
(Not that we have any choice, being unable to leave it anywhere)
>>184150He can't have it. It's mine.
>>184154Zero. 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.
Are we doing stuff today?
>>183676^^ <3
>>183671Vir moves in front of the cowering filly and lays down. She waits for the filly to calm down.
Cute noses almost touching when Vir whispers, "Hey, aren't you gonna pet me?"
Vir smiles and wiggles her body like a worm.
>>184156No idea. Last night was intense, so Im okay with not getting into combat, but that doesnt exclude exploration and investigation. Garv said he wont be available for another 5 hours, and others have indicated limited availability, but I'm going to plan to be ready to play regardless of any assurances/expectations (meaning not shitfaced)
>>184158Flowercup's fur is blown back by the force of the cuteness.
"Oh-okay..."
She raises a hoof, places it on the back of Vir's head, and
pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet pet>>184156Probably? I don't want to have combat without Garv and Dust being here, and they are out at the moment.
It looks like there's some dispute over what to do in the down time, especially regarding HP and healing
>>184162>Probably?Good.
>It looks like there's some dispute over what to do in the down time, especially regarding HP and healingWe should all be at serviceable HP is everyone gets a d4 Treat Wounds, and the most wounded PCs each take one of the healing potions.
>>184162I should be able to play for a few hours after 7-8ish tonight.
>>184164Should I start up the healing kit wagon then to at least start us off?
>>184167>Should I start up the healing kit wagon then to at least start us off?You could take 10 on it to avoid unnecessary dice rolls and wasted kits. We're out of combat, and there's no reward for rolling high.
>>184169That's what I was planning. But I still gotta roll for the heals. Besides, Dust would actually have to get a 1 to fail.
>>184170This isn't relevant to Posey, so I can't be unbiased, but I think we should save our spell resources.
What spells do you have left?
Well, I guess there's no reason not to. It's not like I don't have 40 damn uses of healing kits.
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.
Silver [1d4 = 2]
Cavaliere [1d4 = 4]
Kira [1d4 = 1]
Uh... I guess that's really it. Dust will also tend to himself. I'm gonna roll for it too cause I'm quirky
[1d20+13 = (6+13) = 19]
[1d4 = 4]
3 full healing kits, 1 with 5/10 uses
>>184171Jack shit.
0 lvl: Guidance, Detect Magic, Light, Resistance, Virtue, Cure Minor Wounds
1st lvl: Nimbus of Light +(Magic Stone/Magic Weapon)
2nd lvl: Aid, Shield Other
3rd lvl: Haboob, Searing Light, Flame of Faith +(Stone Shape/Magic Vestment)
>>184162That high amount of pets on her back cause a strange sensation to occur in Vir's body. She moves into the hoof and petting. Then... She rolls over on her back and the small hoof pets her belly. It's tickilish.
She kicks her backleg and brings up a front hoof in an attempt to contain her giggles.
>>184173You 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.
>>184172Silver: "Thank you, my friend. You truly are reliable creature."
Kira elects to show her appreciation to the zeeb by giving him a great big hug.
>>184176I'm aware, it's just the other level 0s suck.
>>184177Dust nods to Silver, and returns Kira's hug
>>184187^^
>>184185^^
Vir flicks her tail one way and then the next. She kinda gives Flowercuo that smile Palpatine gives Anakin in The Revenge of The Sith.
>>184192Cautiously - ever cautious - she rubs the belly of the much larger pony
>>184194And y'all were crying at me for cursing everything,...
>>184194>is jelly"Let us finish this mission swiftly so I can go home and have my belly rubbed."
>>183717"We were both in culinary school. That's what we did. Well, what we tried to do, or wanted to do. Was to be chefs, or food preparation professionals. I would hope we could, because that's we're good at."
Sorrell:
"I do love waffles, even if my area of specialty involves more, well, vegetables. But waffles are very easy to make, and to add flourishes to."
>>184196Flowercup got blown the fuck out of the water by Vir's cuteness roll. She has no choice but to obey Vir.
>>184199Oh Posey,
No one wants to rub your belly
>>184207Beware the tempting poni belli
It seems innocent
