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.

"Even if they plan to fight the Traveler, there's no telling whether they will have any success. And if they get the whammie, we 'll likely have to fight them at some point anyway. The military ponies don't seem aware of our presence, but the Traveler most assuredly does. I hate to say it, but I think our best bet - if we're to survive and NOT eventually fall under the hell of an un-Equestrian abomination - is to take advantage of the military ponies' movements, and take the Traveler by surprise. Worst-case scenario, we still have to fight off the military, but we MIGHT garner the aid of "suddenly freed from crazy-mind-bondage" ponies on the freighter."

I'm really not set to any particular outcome; we could do either or split and do both. Brie in CHARACTER thinks we should kill the traveler now, but now it comes down to what everyone wants to do including GM, who I could imagine BOTH wanting and not wanting to split the party in this way.

Let's just go to the ship. If we travel again, we'll practically be guaranteeing more encounters with the summons, and we don't benefit from fighting summons at all. The marines can wait an extra hour for us to storm the ship.

I don't want to really spoil things, but since GM pone is having trouble finding a way to say it in the game: going to deal with the Traveler first will result in a full or at least partial failure of the primary mission objectives.

Anyways, Kira knows how important stopping the Traveler is, that's why she wants to go off on her own to find the missing marines and complete the objective. She's not the best suited for combat, but she's perfectly suited both for tracking down the marines and avoiding encounters using survival and stealth.

Equally, then let's go marines first. The intention isnt to derail or unravel any plans. The Traveler freaks Brie out and he wants to kill it cuz thats what he knows; when all you have is a hammer,.... but as a player, I want it to play out as best as possible, and I dont mind a little railroading if it will help.

The debate is more along the lines of whether we split the party or not, because the urgency has increased. Cavaliere is reluctant to do so but is the best suited (aside from Dust) to help Kira locate and protect the ponies. He would not want her to be alone because he knows how dangerous it is.
I also don't think they're at the lighthouse.

The urgency has increased, yes, but that may be as much a thematic thing of 'mounting tension' and uncertainty of the 'best' course of action, weighed versus obligation and morality of completing the mission and THEN handling business.
Its a tough call cuz its well designed.

GM pone is deciding whether or not he should say something, he doesn't like saying stuff out of character usually or railroading so sometimes he needs a little extra nudge to give us the direction we need not only to complete our mission but also make the game more fun for us as well as for him.

It's nice of him but there has been plenty of indication that all aspects of this quest have urgency. If we collectively ignore that then we deserve to reap the consequences. Take the encounter outside of the village. We delayed ourselves so the monsters were on top of us by the time we noticed.

Appreciated. When gaming in person or even over voice chat, you can use your body language or voice to pffer subtle cues and indications, which arent possible online in the standard form. This is why a little railroading is okay in this context. More than anything, I dont want any effort to go to waste if possible, especially over mixed signals (ffs, that fucking goat).
I was of the impression that the Traveler was being made increasingly significant as an incentive designed to steer us toward the freighter.
>>186148
>the village
As said, the village was a very understandable but very odd/nuanced situation where I had reason to believe that there was something to the goat. It was stupid, but in context my conclusion was logical, given some DMs with GM prior and leading up to.
Which is also why Im okay with a little railroading.

I was thinking that Kira would use her survival skill to track down the marines specifically, rather than going to a specific landmark. We don't know that the marines are there or somewhere else, and while I do have a plan for how to keep the Defense Intelligence Agency busy, I don't think the planned distraction would work forever.

The faintest of ringing starts to emit from Brie, who visibly jerks at the sound, quickly reaching a hoof into a chest pocket. The ringing immediately subsides. Oulling out a fancy pocket watch, he opos it open and peers at it.
"Huh. It's New Years eve? I completely lost track of the date!" He looks up from the watch, his body language initially very affable, saying "Haaa..." before his gesture diminishes. He looks around at the grim scene before shrugging.

Kira, unfortunately, is limited in her ability to smell, given a relatively strong wind from the south that makes it difficult, perhaps even impossible, to smell anything from the northern part of the island.

And yet, she can smell Equines, on the hill that's up in front of where the party first landed.

Idk, but I we've decided to save the marines, and it's easier for everyone if the party is not split up, so let's just go there as a group. We've been wondering for too long.
Besides, I want Posey to be there to charm/persuade the Marines in case they're suspicious of us.

Heh, I guess this is who woman feel, you get attention cause you can gift them with sex.

Though to set the record straight, the thing with the bap made me remember who Vir is and isn't. What she isn't, is a pony who basically molests a bap for their wings and what she is, is somepony who is quite sheltered from sex and such things.

She's definitely saving herself for marriage if she even considered that any stallion would find a bulky warthog of a mare like her appealing. She hates the blackhooves and probably wouldn't hook-up with one.

It's also a bit awkward to have sex with another pc, especially if you play as the girl. Or maybe not. Idk, I haven't done it.

Bottom line: While I'm a pervert and could see Vir having sex with every single pc in the entire game, Vir isn't. She's quite far from it.

For future reference:
1. Is there a limit to the number of pictures in the camera? Not gonna go nuts, just gonna describe documenting things
2. Is it too late for Brie to have documented some of Silver's conversation with the Thrall?
While traveling, Brie will take some good photos of the thrall chain-gang

At an available moment, Brie would catch Silver,' attention. "Excellent thinking with the Traveler, I had something quite similar in mind, though I'll admit it only occurred to me after you began speaking to the thrall yourself. To that end, while we don't have a recording device, we might be able to coax a/that thrall to speak over the radio. Not sure what use it might be, but at this stage we have to consider every possible move at our disposal, and as you so aptly appreciate in your own right, control of information is one of those things that can be used to our advantage."

That is all anyone can hope for, so long as no one is victimizing another, and thats why I was willing to be transparent about it.

Hehe, hope you don't feel objectified but here's a picture of my character doing an esoteric form of medical check up on yours. Sadly, the oekaki system has its quirks so I didn't get to finish it.

While the sentiment is appreciable,... no thank you. If it seemed you were being inconsiderate, my reaction would be... less than favorable. If we are to continue this exchange, perhaps we should move to the OOC thread

If players are available, we could discuss a plan of action, and if anyone is interested, I could OOC about some of Brie's more nuanced multi-round combat maneuvers. GM is conceivably and understandably unavailable, unless he otherwise emerges (which hopefully this will reverse psychology him into doing so, so long as he doesnt figure out my clever ruse)

Let's go over it before the actual session so we can work together more effectively. What do you have planned?

"Wait," Brie swoops in, slips one of his grenades from hits molly-web. "Just in case," he offers the grenade (not a shitpost or anything, totally serious).

"~You will thank me later!" Posey shouts, evasively, as she gallops away

Wow, that mare can gallop
With her tireless body, she runs continuously, allowing her to double-hustle, effectively moving at 12 MPH (2x the party's regular travel speed, or 1.5x their speed if they're hustling), which means all said and done she should be able to easily accomplish her short task(s) and meet up with the party when all is said and done.
(Ponies should have 40-50 ft movement speed.)

>Because of him your whereabouts will be always visible
That's probably a good thing then, because it removes the spotlight from the rest of the party.

It’s a hell of a lot easier to get lost in wilderness than you may appreciate, or even to find a specific person in a building once you’re separated. I have not the slightest hint of an idea how Posey is supposed to find the party again once they’ve been separated given that the party is going to be on the move, but sure, Posey can separate from the group, for what I suspect will be until they meet again in Trottingham… except they haven’t agreed on what city they are going to after this, so…

Sure, play the game of “let’s see if this set of gunshots and explosions is the party versus any of the other groups on the island.”

Do it.

Im not the one that ran off half-cocked. My support of the idea of her running off was precipitated on the idea that they would in some way partner with you to make it go smoothly. I know, I should know better. Anyway, it isn't hppeless yet

How big is this island?
I'll roll for it if I have to, but we haven't been rolling all this time so I didn't think it was necessary.
>I have not the slightest hint of an idea how Posey is supposed to find the party again once they’ve been separated given that the party is going to be on the move
She just said she intended to meet them back at the Kostroma to fight The Traveller.
> Posey can separate from the group, for what I suspect will be until they meet again in Trottingham…
That was not my intent. The whole point of this operation was to help fight The Traveller.
