>>184280>We don't have Fluffernoodle. I don't really want to do combat without himUnderstood. I wouldn't want to leave him out of it either. I like his characters and am curious to see how they will respond to the next scenario.
Maybe we should call it for the night. I have work tomorrow.
>>184276Rolling to rub Dusty M's belly using magic
[1d20+6 = (10+6) = 16] >>184280"What did you do in Mareway?"
>>184282Oi! That beats my touch AC!
Dust's ears flick about wildly at the feeling of magic on his belly. He turns and shoots a glare at Posey.
I'm down to stop for the night. I've got a possibly very shitty day tomorrow and would like some good sleep.
>>184281There are
Brie outright killed one
One got critted by a single shot by Garv, but technically should have been in the "dying" or "unconscious" stage
One was outed by Dust's flail
One was Stabbed by Posey's arm thing, then knocked flat the fuck out by Silver with an amount of damage that would have killed him outright if it were "lethal"
One was shot by Mala and then knocked out by Garv
Technically two went over by non-lethal damage, and two by lethal damage
>>184282Also I wanted him to read from the notebook...>>184281>Tries to rub his belly>misses slightly and rubs the wrong thing by accident>>184284Uh huh. Keep telling yourself that. It won't improve your luck
>>184283"I had a roll as a cook, briefly, in Mareaway. At a diner." She answers
Tricky
"I was a clerk for a little while.. Not very dignified, but, there was work."
>>184285Agreed.
Cavalier and Brie can still get eaten by monsters again if they would like to continue playing without us.
>>184286>Also I wanted him to read from the notebook...Well, if he shows up, he can read from it, and we can pick up on that tomorrow.
I must slumber soon.
>>184286Dust rolls his neck and gets to stabilizing.
This guy's dead
[1d20+13 = (14+13) = 27][1d20+13 = (10+13) = 23][1d20+13 = (10+13) = 23][1d20+13 = (12+13) = 25]>the wrong thingREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>184282I'm tired too and staying up so late last night was a mistake. I don't want to do that next Saturday night.
>>184284No, it is.
>>184285Dust can't stop being molested.
>>184286I 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).
>>184286"Oh thats the bee's knees, i cant cook at all"
He laughs
"A clerk huh? it might not be dignified, but its honest work."
>>184290Tricky looks away
"I suppose... we couldn't stay there long, anyways. We're here now..."
>>184289The 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.
>>184292I 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.
>>184289>no it isWe can adjudicate this now. Or we can avoid doing so. I advocate the latter
>>184286>keep telling yourself thatIs this a sign of things to come? GM, this is YOUR danger sign
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.
>>184341>Brie 86What happened to Brie 1, Brie 2, Brie 3, Brie 4, Brie 5, Brie 6, Brie 7, Brie 8, Brie 9, Brie 10, Brie 11, Brie 12, Brie 13-
>>184342We 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
>oc rolls over while petted>doesn't know>boom^^
>>184194At 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.
>>184343^^
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.
>>184346If I know who this is, that is. ^^
>>184341Kubana Kirafiki, don't wear it out!
Is all this ooc?
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?
>>184292"Good, I'm sure Baltimare will treat you both better."
>>184345Uh... What do we not know?
poke pokeFlowercup smiles as she sits next to Vir and poke's at Vir's belly. She starts to rub in a clockwise, and then counterclockwise fashion.
>>184355Tricky
"Well... I can't say it's been great. We still don't have jobs. Say, do you live here?" She tilts her head. "Or around here." And paws the floor. "I don't know, I can't say I know many ponies here."
>>184351These 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.
>>184356>The magical ammunition is an entirely different typeOkay... I guess I'll just sell it.
Can we get Silver's reading of the journals?
>>184356>>184357Oh right, Silver was going to do that just before Brie and Cavaliere got ambushed.
>I guess I'll just sell it.Or...you could look into getting a magic rifle for your ammunition. Could be it would fit a Luna Nova rifle.
>>184358>Or...you could look into getting a magic rifle for your ammunition.Posey isn't proficient in guns. She prefers her bow.
Besides, +1 bullets wouldn't stack with a +1 weapon.
>>184360>+1 bullets wouldn't stack with a +1 weapon.They kinda should, only for the atk roll
>>184362Enhancement bonuses never stack.
+1 ammo is good for nonmagical guns.
>>184363Contested.
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
>>184360>>184363Okay, 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)
>>184356>Uh... What do we not know?Pic related
"Yea i do live around here, i stay at the The Grand Baltimare Hotel"
>>184367Tricky lights up, smiling, and Sorrel likewise moves a step closer.
"Oh, that sounds
fancy."
>>184368"Yea i guess it is pretty fancy, I Stopped paying attention to the décor inside awhile ago."
>>184364What type of bonus is it then?
>>184368Can we hear what the journals said tonight?
>>184369She 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..."
>>184371Ostensibly, the rifle in question would have the precision bonus, and the ammo would have an enhancement bonus, if having to make the rules up on the fly
>>184373"Yea i did, the princess seized it before the war."
He nods
"I was thinking about seeing if i could get you both a job there in the cafeteria."
>>184382Tricky:
"A cafeteria, or a restaurant in a fancy hotel?" She asks, tilting her head
Sorrel:
"It's better than Factory work, or... well..." She sits down. "Begging."
>>184391"They're the same to me. Its a lot better than factory work i would assume yea."
>>184343Cool backstory and reference!
>>184363>Enhancement bonuses never stack.>+1 ammo is good for nonmagical guns.Good to know. That's by 3.5e rules, though, and this game is becoming more homebrewed by the session.
>>184376>Ostensibly, the rifle in question would have the precision bonus, and the ammo would have an enhancement bonus, if having to make the rules up on the flyI 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?
>>184435>this game is becoming more homebrewed by the sessionHonestly 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.
>>184435At first, Brie thinks the hog tying may be a bit excessive. But then he thinks of that weird sheep, the possessed ponies, the (cry) random pokemon,....
He says and does nothing.
>>184409"Well, I would say there is a difference between a restaurant and a cafeteria, but... Sure." She smiles
"You should show us some time." She says
