In the far-off, northern island of Mended Horn, the party there has learned that they face an enemy they have dubbed "The Traveller." They have decided to go to an old, abandoned village there in hopes of rescuing some communist sailors.
In Baltimare, Dark Star tries to get things in order, while Virgin Flame looks for her old friend.

See, now I'm sad because Captain Waters didn't give me the flammenwerfer I asked for. I wouldn't have missed with that.

Screw it, I've decided that Brie will be forfeiting his surprise round, attacking from the air in a flyby, and is using the 19 he rolled on initiative last night. This is the best I can discern his intent
Mala shoots at the starfish that is closest to him - the one on the left on top of the house wall.

If I was unavailable for any reason I'd be fine with letting somepony else "puppet" Cavaliere or Amber, like how I gave Brie control of Cavaliere on the boat. I understand this however and I think if we're not unanimous we should wait.
>>185004
He should have listened to his instincts.

…or I guess not. Hopefully Brie shows up before combat ends.

Posey's turn
She does a repeat of her previous turn, cursing herself for squandering the benefit of surprise. Luckily, the enemy is still flat-footed.
Posey attacks with her bone now:
[1d20+6 = (12+6) = 18]
Damage
[1d10+3 = (8+3) = 11] (iajutsu needs to be rolled separately)
Iajutsu Focus

Damage
[2d8 = 10]
Dread 2:
[1d20+5 = (1+5) = 6]
damage
[2d8 = 11]
She attacks the Starfish, hoping to eliminate it before it can take its turn. If the starfish is already dead before the third attack, redirect the next attack at the abomination.

I'm going to assume that you're talking about the Starfish that's very close to Posey and has already suffered buckshot to the face.
With a hit from Posey's bow, it screeches, trembles, and then with something like a rupture, evaporates into black mist
The first dread does not pierce the hide of the abomination, while the second goes wide.
The surviving Starfish fades, as if out of existence
Silver's turn

Not very close. Presumably with the group, which means basically only the starfish and perhaps the Petrushkas are close

I'm honestly worried about Brie's player's reaction to us going on ahead without him in combat. I haven't heard his thoughts on us controlling his character for him in combat when he's gone, and without hearing it from him something tells me he'd be very upset.
>>185023
That's true, but we scheduled this combat well in advance and it's just one of those DnD moments. I might not be available tomorrow night myself. GM Pone put the onus of responsibility on himself. We will have more fights this mission too if Brie feels like he missed out.

Chances are this fight will only last two rounds anyway. Let's finish it.
I really don't like this, but fine

Okay, so, Mala is informed that the possessed ponies are not to be killed if it can be helped.
Silver takes aim at the abomination, working the bolt on his rifle and firing.
[1d20+11 = (15+11) = 26]
[2d8 = 8]
Once again, Silver works the bolt, and fires a second shot.

>>185026
The first hits, the second bounces off
Mala can't shoot at the abomination because it's too far away, he can't shoot at the starfish because one is dead and the other has vanished, he can't shoot at the Petrushkas because Silver doesn't want him to, and he can't melee attack the Petrushka's because the wall is in the wall to prevent a close attack. Narrowing the distance between him and the Abomination just means he's more likely to get hit, and the same is true with the Petrushkas. So Mala just assumes a ready position for if and when the second Starfish shows up.
Brie will fly over the Abomination and shoot it with a pistol right on the Spinal Column

Garv's turn

Garv's turn
The ambushing griffon notices the grotesquely thick hide of the beast in front of him and how his bullet buffeted it but failed to penetrate. He came equipped for a stealth mission, not a big game hunt and he wishes he had some heavier weaponry available. Now with an opportunity for a second shot, he takes aim at one of its horrific but vulnerable pony heads and fires once more from the blind before attempting to hide behind his concealment once again.

The Abomination looks over towards the Party with one of its four eyes. The other three go wide, although Dust may believe that one of the two eyes from the more vestigial head is looking back towards him.
It picks up another stone, and tosses it at Kira

Kira dodges out of the way of the stone, and uses the opportunity to taunt the Traveler and Abomination as a free action.

The sailor Petrushka turns around and jumps over the wall, to try to narrow the gap between it, and Kira/Silver/Mala/Posey.

Still, as Kira lets out her meep, her ears fold down and she has to wonder to herself if taunting the interdimensional being was the wisest move.
Her next action depends on the results of Posey's Arcana check, because knowing if it can be disrupted or not would be valuable information to have.

Cavaliere is out of sight of his fellows to the left, but knows they have encountered trouble if the gun shots, howling, and shouting are any indicators. He cannot know how badly their strategy is deteriorating but he again targets the abomination to weaken it while concealing his position.

Smiling at the snakepony, he answers, "Let's get this marine tied up for now. Silver, go talk to the survivors and make sure they're alright. Mala and Brie, keep watch along the perimeter."
He undertakes several actions. First, he ties up the last prisoner I do want to know how much rope it takes. I'd guess 5 feet per pony if we're generous, and of course blinds and deafens him. Second, he goes to the party's rear to bring up the veritable entourage they have now of griffons and captured ponies (who would have to be hauled since they are unconscious and/or tied up) into the village's perimeter. Finally, he returns to his hiding spot and folds up the camouflage net to pack away to be used again.

Flashback: part 1
During the walk there, the thought of potentially meeting Hope's again spikes Vir's nerves. A memory comes to mind.
She's panting and her breath has created a wet patch on the floor. Just one more, she thinks and lowers herself down to the floor on her front hooves while her back legs remain up on her bed. She stops there and feel the wetness of the patch on her cheek. Then, she slowly, on shaky hooves, push herself back up. After a snail has travel to Fillydephia and back she reaches the apex of her push, only to immidately collapse and fall down on the floor.
"Owie," her lanky filly self says as she hits her head against the floor. She rubs her snout off the pain.
She lay strewn about on the floor. Her eyes were shut as she panted away; her chest expanding and depleting over and over again.
"You know it's dangerous to leave yourself open like this," a filly voice whispered into her ear.
She glanced back and saw a brown-red filly pegasus with a mischievous grin on her face. Then she felt the barest of touches on her toned belly. Her eye darted down. A pair of wings with their feathers aimed down towards her exposed stomach like the two large hands of a boogeyman, though she wondered what a man was lmao.
She gasped and her face contorted into one of fear. Her gazed moved over to the filly. The filly's ends of her lips zigzagged away over her cheeks.
"Tickle tickle tickle," the filly said as she pounced with her feathery appendages.
Vir curled in on herself; moving her hooves to cover her abdomen but in doing so, she leaves her neck unguarded and the pegasus filly is quick to switch target.

"For example, did you know that when NOT trying to be stealthy all that is required for me to ALWAYS sneak attack is flanking, even with ranged weapons? It's true, ALL of my attacks could have been sneak attacks. I'm not gonna drag it out,... it just seems odd I wouldnt think of it."

Fair. Again to reiterate, its no one's "fault", and my frustration is with the clusterfuck of colliding circumstances.
But even getting 2(?) hits is less satisfying if its unaccompanied by a badass narration ._.

Dust applies disinfectant and bandages to the purple and mulberry ponies, but his best work is on the mint pony, whom he applies makeshift, internal stitches to. All three ponies have gashes, cuts, and what seems to be bit marks, as well as bullet wounds in a few instances. All four seem to be stabilized for now.
>>185202
Silver disinfects the wound and applies bandages.
>>185188
"Uh, alright." He turns back and yells something to the other griffins
Sorry I skipped the last round. I'm sick, and Rosey doesn't have very many non-lethal attacks.
Well, she has her blackjack, but still.
>>185174
>a metalic something is on the ground 30 feet away
Ooh, a shiny.
Surely, an encounter this epic with so many fearsome monsters has at least standard treasure for its cumulative CR.
Rosey Ring commands her unseen servant and her Dreads to aid with post-encounter cleanup and any other tasks they might need. She is somewhat disappointed that there are no beautiful cadavers left over after the fight.
"In all of my studies, I have only ever heard of one creature who could summon so many monsters in a day: Zceryll, the Alienist. She was a mighty Sorceress who dabbled with the horrors from beyond the stars and was able to conjure unlimited monsters, but her greed and hubris got the better of her and since she was in the end unable to control her powers, it controlled her, and the same aliens that she summoned turned her into a monster, who to this day still seems to return to the world... My master told me of her before he cast me into the Cerebrosic, and I swore that the fate of Zceryll would not be my own... My Gloomy is fascinated in her story though..."
She looks to the spot where the abomination fell, as if trying to discern its shape
"If the Traveller is anything like the aliens that Zceryll made contact with, it is a greater threat to this world than any in the past century. It will warp the minds and bodies of every creature and even the land itself until nothing is left but its ugliness, and deformed two-headed beasts like the one we just met will be the most comely of the sort."
She looks up to the stars
"We unicorns have always looked to the stars and as our wellspring of magic, for bending fate is the basis of sorcery, but just as we control the cosmos, they control us."

Cavaliere observes the griffons' reactions as he leads them into the village.
Once he finishes with the aforementioned tasks GM, how much rope did I use? I need it for my weight calculations he approaches Dust. "You showed remarkable courage out there and that fight would have been much harder without you. I should have brought an elephant gun, because unfortunately my revolver only tickled that thing. How are we on medical supplies?"

The rope is a calculation of how many bitches we got minus one, times roughly 8' (x-1)x8'
Oh yeah, Brie takes back his hoofcuffs and offers Garv his mana les back. "So heavy, you really should invest in finer hardware."

After a moments consideration, Brie observes a similar ratio of size increase in Cavaliere's choice of firearms so he mentally acknowledges that it makes sense for a griffin compared to a bat

If you offer symptoms I could try to offer advice, but otherwise hope you recover
Brie however is VERY interested in this line of dialogue. He thinks for a moment. "Perhaps a moment could be taken to examine that strange tiara from before; Carefully. It may provide additional clues and insight perhaps? The presence of so strange an object in the vicinity of so terrible a force hardly seems a coincidence, even at face value."

Oh the potions. I thought you meant like the medkits.
Dust rummages around and hoofs over a potion. As far as I'm aware kira is the only one who's used one, so we've got 3 left. You have one, Brie has one, and I guess Dust has the last?

Ive been meaning to ask of Brie could drink HALF the 2d8 potion,....
Wait, Silver gave that one potion to the minty pony. We're down to two. If Brie has one the grif has the other.
>>185240
Okay, so now only Brie has a potion, I'm pretty sure I've used a healing kit on everyone today so I can't use it on anyone again. So we're down to my last few spells

Will DC 19
She does this as an ice-breaker for Silver to negotiate with them.

>tin foil
Is there any other treasure here?
Gonna roll arcana, to see if the tinfoil hat can actually make its bearer immune or resistant to the mind control of The Traveller.
[1d20+11 = (6+11) = 17]
Such as the cap of a lead-lined breastplate that the schizophrenic Barbarians in Dragon #348 wore.
>A thin layer of soft lead added to the interior of this breastplate (and often to a skullcap as well) helps protect the mountain ghosts from divinations and mind-affecting enchantments. This armor provides a +1 circumstance bonus on saving throws made to resist such spells.

Im gonna hope since that was an OOC dice roll it didnt count, cuz otherwise Brie is actually at 16 health AFTER the fucking potion

Actually, I think this would be a more fitting option. I know I said nothing needed redress, but that was before Brie was returned to me mostly dead

If Cavaliere overhears this, he replies, "This is a threat unlike any of the various scoundrels and murderers I have encountered. It has a hideous nature, but other than that it is finite in power and vulnerable. It can bring in only a few reinforcements every so often and because of that it hasn't been able to overwhelm us. If we strike the ship, quickly, we can kill its creatures and then deal with it directly."
>>185252
Would you like Brie to be used with the least risky tactics possible, similar to how Cavaliere was fighting?

Negative, because the least risky tactics possible require MY understanding of how to best utilize his dodge bonuses, tumbling, feints, etc. Posey has the knowledge but (no offense) not the appreciation of Brie's current and trending-toward mindset. I wouldhave that he become a non-targrtable vegetable than risk losing him now OR later cuz he took a hit he might not have.
If I get him fucked up, Im okay with that, but thats like loaning someone your car and they rear end someone.

Do any of the survivors speak our language, or is only Silver able to communicate with them?
Are they affected by Posey's charm?

The OG description of the Grand Baltimare Hotel:
Before you stands the Grand Baltimare Hotel. 5 stories tall, the brick building is the tallest of the Baltimare City Square, and follows a model of Architecture popular in the 950's. Of course, it's not the "Grand Baltimare Hotel" anymore. The windows on the upper levels are sealed shut and closed, and the lower level has a small section of cast iron fencing around it. This is now the Headquarters of the Black Hooves in the Baltimare Autonomous District, and a new sign has (finally) been placed above the entrance to reflect that.
To the side of the steps that lead up to the entrance are two Griffons, one with a rust red feather coloration, and the other with black. They are tall and mean looking as Griffons tend to be. One is smoking, and both are wearing tan military uniforms, complete with “Brodie” metal helmets. Each carries a rifle in their claws, some sort of Karbiner of foreign manufacture. Up the steps, and by the door, are two ponies, one a lavender Earth pony and the other a white Unicorn who stand immediately by the door. They wear full black outfits that resemble police officer’s uniforms, but much darker. They wear caps that resemble officer’s caps, and while neither carries a gun, at least one can be seen to have a handgun in holster.

oh noes
Is this Vir's other fillyhood friend?

"So we can hope..." Posey replies, grimly
"Perhaps it has expenses most of its resources conjuring so many summons at once, but we do not yet know the full scope of its powers."
>If we strike the ship, quickly, we can kill its creatures and then deal with it directly.
"Indeed. Let us be swift."
She turns to Silver
>>185202
"Ask the survivors where the ship is, and how many creatures there are aboard it. In fact, tell them to lead us to it." She says
"Remember, we are playing the role of fearsome pirates, and demeanor is pivotal for our disguise. Ask them if there are any treasures aboard the ship that we could plunder it we defeat the enemy." she says, polishing her sword and rattling the bones in her armor

"I think the one I stabbed in the face, and their subsequent captivity with little explanation speaks to our guise as pirates better than anything could. They probably think we're going to sell them into slavery," he says, his mind wandering for a moment as to whether slavery is worse than communism.

Posey knows that at least sometimes, metal can impede magic, and certainly electromagnetic forces. Tin is kind of heavy and semi-magnetic. Perhaps it could.
The royal purple unicorn is visibly trembling. His grey eyes meet Posey's, and he smiles. he has a cut on his face and looks kind of stupid wearing literal kitchen wrapping on his head. He extends a hoof to her, and with a shaking voice says:
"Что такая хорошенькая маленькая кобыла, как ты, делает на таком опасном острове?"
The mulberry pony, who is lacking his hat, likewise makes eye contact, and has a smile that's just a bit more awkward
"Вас из Сталлионграда прислали?"

Yes, the filly in the flashback is Pew Seat. Hope's will show up in it as well. I thought I can have you role play her in it when she shows up. ^^
Nice, well now I really have an image in mu head to work with.
Vir snaps out of her flashback. Part of her wished the unicorn's directions were off. Seeing the four guards pumps straight ice into her heart. At first she thinks the female unicorn is Hope's for a brief second before she realizes how ridiculous that is. She doesn't feel ready to potentially meeting Hope's again nor does it feel safe to walk in to the lion's den
She walks up just before the first steps and a few feets before the griffin guards. She then, just to summon her determination and still her heart, slams her front hooves together with a loud clop. [1d20 = 16]

We may actually be able to have Vir and Dark Star meet up quickly, at least, if that is desired
Actually, there would be different griffins standing there. Still, there are griffins.
The guards look down at the mare.
Uh, what is that roll for?
