/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

I don't care what the party does anymore. Just make a decision as a group and commit to it. Vote if you have to

Unless advised otherwise, Brie will continue to work on the torpedo, as that seems a feasible resource/asset for deployment against something that as yet the party isnt sure can even die.

Posey moves ~120 ft away from the torpedo.

Sweat beginning to bead on his forehead, Brie pulls out another cigarette, lights it, and continues working. In that it's a military explosive, it tbankfully will be insulated to not be set off by sparks or firearm damage. Still, any one of these wires could be catastrophic if disconnected at the wrong time or in the wrong order. Now because it's military that means the production level will be a standardized corporate bid, which explains why these wires ARE ALL THE SAME FUCKING COLOR... Brie rees in his head
Yes, Brie fucking with the torpedo is what Im gonna be doing until further notice

Brie thinks back to the dozens of times hes deployed a frag grenade, particularly because he's anticipating having to deploy both of the ones on his bat.
In that his player has an autistic obsession with realistic detail (in a pony game ffs) heres 2 pics and a video depicting a frag grenade in use. Notice the gas pattern (including 12 o'clock, tho I didnt do that line). The supposition then would be that a frag might not be effective against diagonally adjacent opponents, but only directly perpendicular opponents

But then he chastizes himself for thinking of little explosives while dealing with,....

Cuz I'm a dick, and I think I can get away with implying (you)re dumb, this one time
>inb4 1 day

Cavaliere asks Kira and Pipette, "Did you happen to locate the aircraft's log book? If the crew left before it crashed, they might have left it here."

>>187241
"What are you curious in the logbook for? Is there any information you seek?"

This is the fourth airplane Posey has seen in her life, she examines it curiously, giving one of the wings a soft kick, testing its durability
"It's no siege crab or driver beetle, but perhaps these new flying engines of war have something to offer..." she says, mostly to herself
>"Imagine if a ghost or other entity haunted one of these. It would make a formidable minion. I will have to note the potential for animate flying contraptions in my report to the masters."
She thinks to herself.

Somewhere over that stretch of water the party flew over you remember flies the oversized fly, atop which rides the red-maned cow, speeding toward Mended Hoof. Anyone curious as to "why dredlocks" is getting their questions answered, but even as a narrator, I digress.
But as they speed along their way, a sudden impulse occurs, and she pulls on the makeshift reins designed for the ancient fly. Sensing first the release of tension in the cow's legs, followed by the slight tug on the carapice harness, she likewise responds immediately, spinning to a halt. Addy can't get sick, its fine.
The fly hovers for a moment, waiting for some form of instruction. After a few seconds, she looks up at the cow.
Her expression hidden behind her sunglasses, and her deadpan expression BASICALLY giving her a nat 20 on "defeating sense motive checks" (you can read her easily, but its in character behavioral analysis), the fly can't tell what she's thinking. She takes a long long drag on her cigarette, 'stands' up in the stirrups and throws her cigarette away.
<No girl, it looks like everything's gonna be okay. Let's go play in the clouds!
She says, jumping up out of the stirrups and onto the saddle, her hand grabbing the reins.
Knowing that tone of voice, Uatchit wastes no time speeding off toward a big-ass cumulonimbus in the background.
As among other things, a 5e shadow monk, Addy can bamf 60' per round when fully obscured, so theres no REAL threat of dying from falls. And even magical creatures like a good game of tag.
<Fookin incorrigible ain' 'e??
Addy calls out to the audience, as she do speaking of course of yours truly.

Meanwhile, Brie's leg is beginning to cramp, so he shifts his position to be a more stable-posture.

If these posts are undesired, I can can it also

>>187242
"Information happens to be very valuable. I would also like to know what an armed naval bomber was doing all the way out here, and what happened to the crew."

>>187250
It's bizarre but not undesired. Let your creativity shine through.

He snaps a quick picture of the bomb, in case,... I dunno, forensics?

>>187241
Kira: "I hadn't, I got distracted by finding Pipette. Let me have a look around!"

Kira slithers around the plane, looking for a log book of some sort.

Ahem. Brie looks up with a slightly.less irritated expression, having just shat the bed. Again. Emphasis added.
"One assumes that if the lot of you will be doing tactical things while I am... busy here,... perhaps you can take some photos for instagram?

Oh hey, Brie wont be able to operate the camera while hes doing th torpedo

"There was a book, yes." Pipette turns to Cavaliere, with little bits of her disheveled mane dipping out from under the makeshift helmet, and the skin around her wine-red eyes sagging in sleep deprivation or possibly age.

"We put it to the side when it didn't say anything about the radio."

>>187048 →
"Yes, he was not careful to use protection. He did not sleep though, so he was not lost. He was always not trustful of Light Water. The entity never liked or trusted him. But yes... Though he does not think he can defeat it on his own, he is looking for help that can." She blinks

"Yes, they will want to speak with him."

>>187065
The warhead of the Torpedo weighs about 550 pounds. Worse, the whole torpedo is hanging in the air as it is stuck on a rail. It is inside of the bomb bay of the bomber. Concerningly, the torpedo seems to be armed, and there is fuel in the torpedo's propulsion system.

>>187257
Is that a book? No, it's an oxygen mask. Is that a book? No, it's a head set. Is that a book? No, it's a seat cushion.

Nice.
Posey levitates the book and flips through the most recent entries as she brings it over to Cavalier.

Also, I made a dialogue post in the other thread.

She paused
"How long have you and the Kostroma been here?"

"Thank you, Miss Pipette. It's understandable why you did that. As interesting as the logbook is, I strongly encourage all of us to get away from this aircraft, now." He looks around. "Any of you want any supplies from here before we leave? Any of them could be useful, from a spare firestarting kit to a machine gun."

>>187264
>>187266
"Thank you Miss Ring," he says with a nod. He first tries to find the designation of the aircraft, and then looks at the latest comments about air lanes and the War. There will be time enough to read the rest after this mission.

Absentmindedly, Brie purses his lips, and softly whistles a tune as he works. He had heard it previously in occidental encounters, but only recently had it struck his mind and awareness to the point that dammit, sometimes it just plays in head.
>>187265 →
After at least one full rendition of the song, he realizes what he is doing. If he wasn't wearing camo makeup, you could see he is blushing, and he looks angrily around at everypony/creature, as though his embarrassment is their fault.
"Don't look at me, I'm working!"

>>187165
I am going to reiterate that I am outside the blast radius of the torpedo when the rogue auto-fails the check to disarm it by trying to take 20 on it instead of taking 10.

>>187269
>>187266
>>187257
Anyone who wants to talk to Posey should meet her outside the plane, in fact, she specifically insists so:
"I would prefer to speak about these matters outside this cramped plane. Let us ALL go outside, RIGHT NOW."
One of her Dreads pick up her bags, and the other gingerly leads Pipette by the hoof as she bolts out the door.

Technically speaking, if its a. Auto fail, then Brie already auto-faiked, so everyone died as soon as Brie started.

Thats seriously what youre advocating for

>>187266
>>187040 →
My last response. ^^

>>187266
"You know, I am something of a scientist myself." Posey says to Pipette
"But, research grants are so hard to come by these days, so piracy it is."

Its been a long time since she's been able to let go, she thinks as she free-falls, gingerly intercepted by a very happy Uatchit.
Their game, for visualization purposes, is kind of like Marco Polo. Anyway, in REAL time it's been probably only 6 months, but as time dilation fucks you, its been close to a decade. Theres alot that she hasnt had the time to process.
And so, as she swirls into the clouds with her flyfren, a few tears drop

Meanwhile Brie is STILL ON THIS FUCKING TORPEDO
Not a criticism, just,... ready.

>>187269
>Any of you want any supplies from here before we leave? Any of them could be useful, from a spare firestarting kit to a machine gun
"Take whatever you need quickly! I am not confident in how much longer that plane will be here!"" Posey shouts from outside the plane

>>187333
Still and otherwise entirely focused on the Torpedo Brie chimes in, "No need to be alarmed Miss Ring. If this were the Kirian Type 91 torpedo, your concerns would be warranted, they are notoriously easy to set off, to compliment their kamikaze tactics. This however, is a...."

I take 10 on Knowledge (Engineering) to recognize a torpedo as a bomb. This meets a DC of 13, with 10 being common knowledge.

Posey cannot hear anything inside the plane anymore because she's a distance outside of it.

>>187344
You cannot take 10 on knowledge checks. She should however be cognizant from the other characters speaking.

>>187351
>You cannot take 10 on knowledge checks
Where is that written? I can't find a rule saying that, under the description of the knowledge skill or the description of taking 10.
I know you can't take 10 on the Knowledge (Religion/Nature) check to sacrifice a creature, but I am unaware of any other restrictions.

I don't really care either way. I just made the check because others requested it.

If you wanna get technical, the only rule that really matters is the DMG final note (page 4) which reads
<The power of creating worlds, controlling deities and dragons, and leading entire nations is in your hands. You are the master of the game-the rules, the setting, the action, and ultimately, the fun.
Oh wait. Thats addressed to GM

I don’t believe a disarm device check can or should be a “take a 20.” That’s a skill where a critical failure is very much undesirable, and technically taking a 20 is doing it continuously until you succeed.

The torpedo weighs about a ton, and the warhead is about 550 pounds. The warheads is percussion detonated. The remaining portion includes a tank of compressed air, fuel (either gasoline or methanol, I’m not sure), an engine and depth measurement equipment. The torpedo is hanging on the rails suspended above the ground, stuck, I kind of think a use rope check may be advisable.

>>187354
>Canada
Day of the rake when?

>>187354
Cavaliere takes 10, for a modified 17, to tie a rope around the torpedo and secure it to the fuselage of the plane.

>>187356
Posey assists him, using her unseen servant and horn to help with the ropes.

>>187354
What is the plan for this thing, btw? It's too big for any of us to carry.

>>187355
Hiss!!!

>>187359
I thought Posey was staying what she thinks is a safe distance away?

>>187360
Making an improvised explosive out of the warhead and using the plane's radio to make a remote detonator, then when we get to the Traveler we force him to swallow the explosive before we detonate it. To assist with making it more likely that the explosive will kill him, Posey can use her freaky touch powers to weaken him.

>>187362
He doesnt have to swallow it, his butthole will suffice

>>187365
Or his butthole, whichever orifice is most accessible and open.

>>187366
Whichever one we dont stuff it in, I have grenades for anything unoccupied. And theres the shape charges

>>187362
Who is going to carry it? The warhead weighs 550 pounds.

If only we had a huge flying whale skeleton....

This would be a great context to suggest such a thing while.remaining explainably not creepy ...

>>187368
>>187369
It would absolutely be a great time to suggest it. We also don't need the whole warhead, just the explosive bits. Like, I imagine removing the percussion detonator and outer shell would shave off quite a bit of weight.

>>187370
"We should keep moving. We need to locate the airponies."

What’s with all the focus on buttholes?

>>187268
“The night, besides micro sleep… The ship arrived before dawn.”

>>187296
>>187303
When she hears Posey call herself a “pirate,” she has serious concern. Then when she sees a floating, severed diamond dog arm, she screams and runs.

>>187236
Why do you have a random post of an oekaki of a ticktacktoe with the word “nape” in the center? What does a nape have to do with anything?

>>187372
Kira rushes after the fleeing Pipette, carrying an oxygen mask, a headset, and a book. "Wait! I know she's a little weird and scary at times, but she's actually not! Come back!"

>>187371
Silver: "Are you sure there is nothing you or that scroll could do to help us at all? Anything at all, no matter how small?"

>>187372
>What’s with all the focus on buttholes?
You GM for ponut-obsessed bronies.
>>187372
>she screams and runs
Where does she run to?
Posey stifles a giggle. She does enjoy a caring ponies.

>>187374
And yet, none of the character have done any butthole stuff with either mares or stallions.

Yet.

>>187375
draws sword
Bend over

>>187376
Nah, Silver's butt-virginity isn't for Posey

>>187373
>>187374
“Ah!” she look backwards at the pursuing 20 foot constrictor snake, which for some reason she’s not comforted by.

She runs out and away from the plane. But as she’s looking backwards towards Kira, she runs into a rut, and trips over it.

>>187375
>>187374
So you want to start with The Traveller. I see….

>>187372
It says nade. As in grenade. As in the subject of that post and the previous post. Why do I bother?

>>187378
Admittedly we wouldn't be the first D&D party looking to kill a large creature via it's anus.

Kira slithers over to the tripped over and helpless mare. "Oh no! Are you okay? You took a nasty fall there." The helpful noodle helps Pipette back up to her hooves.

>>187381
Oh lord no, anal destruction is a classic ^_^

>>187374
>a caring
*Scaring

>>187378
So what is the status? Brie seems to not be facefirst with the bomb (yet :3), and since his previous listen checks related to the contemporaneous firearm usage was over a mile away, he will be on scene for the investigation of the torpedo, specifically related to any familiarity.

>>187373
>there is nothing you or that scroll could do to help us at all?
"I did not say that. This scroll contains the powers of my master. The secrets hidden in it are more than helpful."

>>187388
Silver: "Well, we will soon be facing off against eldritch deity from another dimension. If there was ever time to tap into your master's power, it would be now."

>>187390
"Perhaps. I want to ensure that the Marines are found first though. Besides, it would be of no use without... Materials..."

>>187384
It’ll take a while to deconstruct the torpedo, especially with it hanging in air. I want to see what, if anything, other players will do in that time.

>>187392
Silver: "And what are those materials? Could we acquire them for you on island?"

>>187375
No one will be informed of the buttstuff between Lacey and Brie. But oh yes, there will be buttstuff :3 (butt-stuff?)

>>187393
Noted, on standby (fucking lurking)

>>187394
"I believe I could make some use out of those leviathan bones. It was such a magical creature; it's body should have some magic left in it."

>>187393
Well, the Commissar is just nearby. The rest of us could go and meet up with him, save him if necessary, hear him out and recruit him and the soldiers with him to the growing party. If I can convince Posey to reanimate the leviathan whale skeleton after, it would be a huge help across many different areas, such as combat, disabling the GRU ship, and helping carry the improvised explosive. Then we would go to the marines/airponies, then finally the last and most distant group of soldiers. Somewhere along that path, Brie can rejoin with us with the explosive.

>>187395
Based. Silver will get in on the buttstuff action eventually, just you wait.

>>187397
Silver: "I think that can be managed. It should be on way to marines, same with Commissar. More we can do to make ourselves stronger, better we will do when we face off against Traveler."

>>187399
>Silver will
Try and fail. No

>>187400
Oh, not with Brie and Lacey; with other characters, don't worry.

>>187401
As you will

So, are we going to the commissar next?

>>187403
I believe so. We just need to hear from at least one other person first. Same with actually sitting down to play.

>>187404
I thought we decided on seeing the commissar last week.

>>187404
Im skeptical that even with another player that theres much likelihood of any gaming. Im here for it. Just being real (no offense)

>>187393
Without committing anyone to anything Brie,... is still on the table about the torpedo, ngl. I was committed to motion before, but wow did THAT get awkward. Kinda over the torpedo unless somepony makes a compelling caseYes, one more time, after all the shit, or we can fuck off after the commossar as a big happy family ^_^

Also, while Im gonna be lurking, consider me a currently non viable character, cuz Im not trying to stay up

>>187409
The frag grenades we have are nice, but I wouldn't bet my life on their ability to kill a god. The infantry demolition kits we have are primarily intended for the airship's engines, if it's in a state where we're unable to reasonably fix it. The harpoon head you found is kind of in the same boat as the frag grenades, especially only having the one of them. Having something like the explosive power of the torpedo, which is designed to sink sturdy metal-hulled ships, would be very useful for trying to kill the Traveler.

>cuz yes this is also.my life
>no crying
Am active again

>>187412
If it was able to survive impact from the upper stratosphere, I don't believe any kind of explosive will kill it. It is demonstrably resistant to extreme heat and physical trauma. It probably has some form of damage reduction and/or regeneration that would make it impervious to mundane damage.

>>187415
That's where you come in. Posey, with all respect to the scope of her powers, doesn't have the magical ability to kill the Traveler outright using her freaky necromantic touch, but I believe it will be enough to weaken the Traveler which, combined with him being subject to the laws of this universe, will make him more than vulnerable enough to the explosive force of a torpedo, and a few hoof grenades just to make sure. Especially as the explosion will be from inside the Traveler's body, bypassing the extreme damage resistance his hide has shown.

>>187414
Silver: "I did not say that demolition kits will be insufficient, I said that hoof grenades will be insufficient on their own and that demolition kits will be needed for airship if it can not be fixed as you hope."

>>187415
>>187417
Would it kill you to have these conversations in character?

>>187409
Is he messing with the torpedo or not?

>>187418
Sorry, GM pone

>>187417
I agree with Silver's plan. If Cavaliere has finished tying up the torpedo, he debates to himself about going to comfort Patient Pipette, but he will have to rely on his eclectic fellows. Instead, he removes one of the .50 cal machine guns from a mount, and attempts to find a more mobile mount that could hold it.

I did it again...

>>187420
Silver goes to help Cavalier out with the MGs. "We can give these to others we have rescued along way. Their high rate of fire will let them cover us, preventing Traveler from swarming us with summoned monsters while we face him."

>>187418
I thought we already discussed this in-character. Maybe I am mistaken.
>>187417
"What would a torpedo do against an organism that survived impact from beyond the firmament? It has already demonstrated resistance to extreme heat and physical trauma. It must have a form of supernatural damage reduction or regeneration to survive such extreme circumstances. Mundane weaponry is unlikely to be useful against it." Posey says

>>187424
Silver: "That is where you come in. Your ability to wither and rot things through touch, with all respect to your power I do not think it is enough to kill Traveler on its own...but it might be enough to weaken him. Then we follow it up with forcing explosives inside his body, bypassing his unusually resistant hide and damaging him internally, where he is likely less resistant. Doubly so with your magic affecting him."

>>187425
Silver: "That as well, of course. Especially against stronger summoned monsters, like that Abomination."

Kira comes back, holding a trembling Pipette in her coils.

Kira: "Uh...sort of? She tripped and took a big spill and...uh...I don't think she likes being held in my coils very much. Sorry, Ms. Pipette."

>>187426
"I believe you are misunderstanding the metaphysics of supernatural damage resistance, but I guess it would not hurt to try..." She replies

>>187418
>is he not
Well that depends. Are you as a GM adviso g me that there might be consequences to this decision?

>>187428
Yes, hes messing with the torpedo, where did you think this was going

Taking a 10 tho, not trying to blow anyone up (my bad)

>>187427
Silver nods at Posey. "I appreciate your agreement, and I also understand your reluctance."

>>187429
Breaking this down as an ostensible explosives expert.
1. Make sure no boom
2. **make sure no boom**
3. Fucking 1 and 2, yall swear Im an amateur

Yep, Im gonna. Not trying to stop the flow, but lets stop pretending qe're playing credible versions of the characters we're trying.

Meds

>>187434
Oh, this again.

Olay fine, Brie does does notjing, cuz in absence of his careful choices, haphazard idiots make haphazard choices.

>>187434
What endgoal do you have?

>>187432
>>187433
I appreciate the criticism, but being ex-military is only one part of his character, and honestly not even that big a part. There's also more ways to portray someone who's ex-military other than "ultra-disciplined hardass" or "jaded PTSD burnout". So far I've received no other criticism from other people besides you. I apologize if you're ex-military yourself and it's something you hold dear to your heart, but I've liked how I've played Silver and it's how I'd like to continue to play him.

>>187438
Fine.
But at the moment Brie - who I assure is a hairtrigger if anyone is thinking - especially in that hes contemplating dissectibg a warhead

FOR FUCKS SAKE LET THE BAT WORK

Gm, I think we're ready

>>187438
I think your character is great.

>>187440
D'awwwww, thanks. I personally hope we get to see more of your character and get to see the deeper sides to her in the near future. I think Posey is pretty cool.

I won a Posey with the help of John Elway. Your argument is invalid.

>>187442
You lie. John Elway is a myth. Speak of who can testify to John Elway

>>187442
Based Posey Bloom enjoyer

Brie fucks back off to unavaillable until GM is available , cuz y'all

Brie contemplates cutting the wrong wire on the torpedo
Just saying, and not intended as a threat (though how do you intuit it otherwise?) I figured out how to kill Brie off outright and still make Lacey work. So Im good with killing him pff now if it means not getting cucked by absentee players
And yes, I would be okay with waiting until Mended horn is over to actually do things. I'll still be in the comments tho :3

Id still like to get his CM, but I'm more interested in not wasting my weekends hoping for something that just doesnt happen, but theres no way to know until its already wasted. I know, dnd and player being available, thats expressly why I was leery about going on a 5 player and 1 gm mission.

>>187430
"Yes, now let us go find the commissar."

>>187451
>>187458
We don’t need everyone else there’s combat, and at the moment, there is no combat nor on the immediate horizon.

>>187478
Could we get to the commissar this weekend?

>find the marines
It does sound like a plan. The torpedo might be useful in the long run, but better to put first things first maybe

>>187475
>>187478
It takes a moment, but eventually Silver and Garv (who is currently absent) arrive carrying the plane's MGs and their ammunition. "I think we are ready to go find Commissar Black Heel, now."

Kira, meanwhile, still has her head set and seat cushion, and is currently wearing the oxygen mask with its dangling, trunk-shaped breathing apparatus. Kira giggles to herself as she shakes her head from side to side, causing the apparatus to swing around. "Hehe, I look like an elephant!"

>>187481
Grootslang encounter, when?

>>187483
I forgot the comics already has a Grootslang

I want it. I want its corpse.

>>187483
When it’s appropriate to the story and world such that its appearance feels natural and not contrived. The Grootslang is an African myth. There’s a reason it showed up in Season 10 in Zebrica

>>187485
Would Kira know what a Grootslang is, then?

Whelp, let’s see. It’s a legend from South Africa specifically. In fact, “Grootslang” is a Dutch phrase, and it’s a creation of the Afrikaans people. “Grootslang” literally means “big snake,” and the legend is basically of the Afrikaans people imagining a giant snake inhabiting a cave full of diamonds. So basically no, I don’t think Kira would know what a “Grootslang” is.

>>187486
The Grootslang is a magical beast, so roll Arcana, or Nature at GM's discretion.
It's a rather obscure and powerful one though, being a creature that was able to evade the wrath of the gods, so the DC might be pretty high.

Let's see if Posey knows:
[1d20+11 = (4+11) = 15]

>>187488
Nah, 15 isn't cutting it...

>>187487
>big snake,” and the legend is basically of the Afrikaans people imagining a giant snake
Kira has not heard of a grootslang cause Kira IS the grootslang

How far is the commissar? Does it take us long to get there?

>>187490
>>187487
It could be the local griffon colonists have made up the Grootslang legend based off of seeing lamias.

>>187492
There are far more impressive snake creatures in d&d than lamias

>>187493
I know, but taking into account the universe that this game takes place in, lamias are pretty impressive, probably impressive enough to inspire such legends.

Is there any other prep we need before we meet the commissar?

>commissar before marines
Yes, not trying to prioritize, just expressing interest to continue

rot intensifies
"How far is it to the commissar? I do not wish to delay finding the airponies for very long."

>>187500
>>187502
Silver: "It sounds as if it is not far. Gunfire seems to be in direction of GRU landing party, so I imagine that Traveler has sent welcome party."

OOC: GM pone is wanting to reply to some posts before we proceed, give him some time.

"It is also plausible that The Traveller regressed into a state of dormancy in anticipation of or in response to its impact in our world. I believe that its current, immobile form is only a transitory stage in its metamorphosis. Once it discovers that supernatural attacks are still able to damage it in its dormant state, it is unlikely that it will simply surrender to being destroyed: at that stage, it may reveal its true form, much more dangerous, but also physically destructible." Posey say
"Time will tell."

For those trying to take a machine gun, please understand that these are decidedly heavy machine guns, purpose built to kill small aircraft like fighters, and not to fight against infantry. The bullets are .50 cal, which is to say, several times the size of standard .30 cal bullet. 250 rounds weighs about 75 pounds. The gun itself is 84 pounds. But please understand that the rate of fire of this, the aircraft version, is twice the rate of fire of an infantry or vehicle mount version. That is to say, its rate of fire is just under that of an MG 42. It is physically impossible to hip fire. And further more, it and its ammo feed is screwed into the turret. It can be removed to be sure, but that would take time.

“Ahhh!!!” Puppets waves her hooves around, and tries to get back up and continue running. She’s trembling, but in fairness, she’s been doing that continuously.

>>187508
>>187502
To get the torpedo warhead, Brie would probably need to be continuously working on it while the others are trying to meet with the commissar, or what have you.

>>187500
>>187508
The party members should have a vague idea of where the commissar is supposed to be, but Pipette knows more.

>>187511
Relevant image

>>187512
>>187511
"Pipette, you know where the Commissar is, right? Lead us to him."
>She’s trembling
"And if you do it quickly, you could have us all out of your mane soon enough."

>>187511
Hmm...how much time?

Kira, with Pipette in her grasp, gives the mare some headpats, hoping it will calm her down.

>>187515
"Kira, let the poor mare go. We need her on her hooves to lead us to the Commissar."

>>187511
This is why Cavaliere was hesitant about grabbing the gun. He simply cannot carry that much weight. Does anypony volunteer to carry either the gun or the ammunition, and does anypony object to waiting for the gun to be dismounted?

"Miss Pipette, none of us intend to hurt you. Lack of sleep has made you jumpy, but please get a hold of yourself. We need your help," he says gently.

>>187517
I don't care either way.
I have space on my floating disk.

>>187518
You have four caster levels, correct? That's 400 pounds we can carry in the air.

Let’s say that the warhead of the torpedo has 255 pounds of Amatol explosive

>>187511
Brie has zero interest in the torpedo. I envisioned something smaller, like standard missile size, except for air-water

>>187521
That is a lot of potential god-killing power there. Hopefully.

>>187519
We should have asked Captain Waters for a Talisman of The Disk. It's only 500 gp for at-will Floating Disk.
I think I'll buy one after this adventure.
>>187525
Let's find the commissar and the Marines first.

>>187528
No, I mean it would be a huge help to smooth over Brie's IC concerns about the plan if Posey explained (again, in character) in a bit more detail about the scroll. She's explained she would need the leviathan whale skeleton, but not what she would need it for or what it would do.
>inb4 "Posey wouldn't so willingly divulge this kind of information"
The party is in a life or death situation against a god with the ability to summon monsters seemingly without limit and control an unknown number of creatures at any given time. For Posey it's especially a case of life or death because she has 0 Constitution, so if she goes down that's it, no bleedout period or anything like that where the rest of the party can save her. Information isn't at a premium here, we need to communicate with each other if we wish to survive and succeed.

>>187530
This. Ill be happy to have Brie do whatever, but it has to make sense

>>187531
Kira: "Is there an aire of intimidation to headpats," the noodle asks, as she continues to give the scared science mare comforting headpats. "I like giving pets and headpats to friend-shaped creatures."

>>187535
Brie does for a moment contemplate giving 'special headpats'to the science mare, but is pretty sure that would not be approved.

I don’t believe Kira ever actually ran Pipette down, lunged at her, and constricted her. I mean… caught up to her, whumped, and hugged her.

>>187538
Did Pipette run? Cuz Kira's hunter insticts would have kicked in.

Can we pretend that the ladt few hours of dialogue isnt wasted on a tiny bit of oversight? :3

>>187539
Yes.

Running from a massive predator whose normal prey is medium sized ungulates, like ponies, may have been a mistake.

>>187538
Well, that was the intention. The friend-shaped creature must not be allowed to run off on her own, she must be given friendly snek hugs.

>>187534
>>187535
Kira: "Awwwwwww..."

>>187530
>it would be a huge help to smooth over Brie's IC concerns about the plan
I missed the part where that's my problem.
>She's explained she would need the leviathan whale skeleton, but not what she would need it for or what it would do.
The nature of the magic in the scroll is purview to her master's practices: it is as much of a military secret as the sensitive systems that Captain Waters is having us destroy. Adhering to the privacy of her masters is part of her code of conduct, which is why she cannot reveal it to outsiders so easily, even at the expense of her own safety. Until her apprenticeship/enslavement is over (level requirement), death is preferable to slighting the masters.
>if we wish to survive and succeed
You say that, but Posey also have my secrets to keep.
She did request to break off and perform the magic in privacy. I guess it wouldn't hurt to witness the results of the spell if you didn't witness its casting.

I'll consider it. Let's talk about it again after we find the Marines and Commissar.
>>187541
"Stop chasing her. This is counterproductive."

>>187544
>>187543
Kira: "Okay..." Kira loosens her grip on the science mare.

>>187541
As Brie approaches, Kira first, he pauses. "Ms. Kubana, our guest will need to be able to move to be able to sip her tea. If she runs, she won't get far," And Brie deli erately makes eye contact with Pipette, "but for now let's just take a moment." His head tilts as a thought occurrs. But he finishes his motion, holding out a small cup of calming tea to the frightened science mare.

>>187540
Pipette is less grappled and being offered tea by a crazy bat in a camo murdersuit that yes, has blood on it.
"Go on Miss, youve been through alot. It isnt poison, and we're not here to hurt you. I brought biscuits as well.:
"

>>187493
RUDE

>>187543
So Brie is taking the time to boil water?

>>187544
>I missed the part where that's my problem.
Also rude

>>187545
>>187544
>>187541
Sure, we’ll assume that Kira, despite never rolling for it an only stating the action as kind of post hoc fait accompli, has grappled and coiled Pipette after she tripped.

When Kira loosens her grip, Pipette jumps out of Kira’s coils. She fails to clear Kira’s body and trips over it, falling on her belly with an “yumph!” squeal, eyes closed forelegs spread in a y shape forward, and chin against the ground. Her tin-hat slumps down, though the horn stops it from covering her eyes, and she looks upwards towards whomever approaches, presumably Brie

>>187544
Silver: "We have time at moment because of distraction to be able to go to Commissar, whale skeleton, and airponies without worrying about GRU or Traveler. I highly doubt, however, that distraction will hold long enough for us to backtrack all way across island multiple times to go to airponies, come back for skeleton, come back for torpedo, then go to Kostroma. Whatever secrets your masters have bid you to hold, they would surely understand that needs and circumstances of current moment outweigh need for secrecy. I also doubt any of our original party members will divulge any secrets we discover."

>>187551
Did you want a roll for it? I didn't know if you did or not.

>>187551
Posey approaches her
"If you would be so kind as to lead of to this commissar you spoke of, that would be very much appreciated." she says

>>187551
"Ms. Pipette, are you alright? No harm will come to you here," he assures her.

Without waiting for a response, Brie simply shrugs and starts laying out teacups and biscuits. First to Pipette, then Kira, Silver, Dust (hes the lankier), and finally Garv. Somehow, Brie intuits that Rosey would decline tea and biscuits. All the same, he only has a dozen and with those six he can only offer 2 per pony without breaking them.
"Ms. Pipette, please be at ease. In spite of our colorful and outlandish nature and appearance, we are here to be of service to you. And not just to you, but the good locals of stalliongrad, and whoever else has been caught up in this messy little scenario," he's quite upbeat at this point, wriggling his nose and shaking his head a bit at 'messy little scenario'. "Its quite absurd, and not what the lot of us were expecing when we took this mission. You're a mare of science, I assumed you would benefit from a more detailed and HONEST level of disclosure," he smiles, finally bringing his own tea to his lips. "The tea it's self.is wonderful, but consider dipping the biscuits in for a moment, not too long or they'll crumble. Anyhow, where I was going with that is to say that we are a privately contracted, paramilitary group tasked with recovering Equestrian personnel and either sabotaging or running off with military vehicles.
However, as you are no doubt aware," he gestures to the bags under her eyes, "There is more going on here than a simple territory dispute between rival militaries." His voice grows deeper and more deliberate. "Something foul is going on here, and it is not implausible to say that the few here, offering you tea,... may be the kast kine of defense that Equestria has." His voice jumps back up in pitch. "Life is so erratic and unpredictable isn't it?
So, while appreciate what given the circumstance a slight disinclination to trust us, it would behoove our survival if you would help aid us in locating the commissar."

>>187551
If we can dialogue without your adjudication, and if the dialogue takes far longer than boiling water for tea, yes Brie made tea

>>187557
Idk what check that counts as
[1d20-1 = (18-1) = 17]
Bluff and intimidate are a +5, but this is sorta more diplomacy? Total newb

>>187552
>>187553
>>187554
>>187555
Pipette lies collapsed on the ground on her belly. Her hind legs are propped up against Kira’s body, slightly raising her hindquarters, even as her chin presses against the grass. Her wine-red eyes look up at the creatures around her. She moves her hooves closer to herself and tries to push herself upwards. She manages to pull herself off of Kira, and is only just able to stand up, still trembling and dirt on her white coat jacket.

She looks over to the biscuits (I’m unsure if the biscuits are actual biscuits or if these are cookies), and sniffs one. Then she uses her magic to take it, and starts eating it. She eats it rather quickly and not exactly in the manner befitting what is presumably a professional. She takes the tea with an aura of red purple magic, sips it, then drinks it quickly, with the only limit being an aversion to having her mouth burned by hot liquid.

>>187559
"....Take your time to recover, but we are in a hurry, so be ready to leave soon." Posey says, coldly

>>187555
Cavaliere takes a cup of tea, but stares at Brie as he gives away information that is not his to give.

Or maybe I should retcon this, as if we're taking the machine guns he will be taking precious time to dismount them?

>>187559
Kira gives Pipette a friendly smile. "Sorry about all of that..."

Silver likewise smiles at the mare. "I know they are weird bunch, but they are good creatures."

>>187562
Brie acknowledges Garv's glance, and tips his head to suggest he has a plan, but acknowledges we cant discuss it now, wat matters is getting this cunt to.gove us the next waypoint

Pipette speaks:

“I can take you to him.”

Tentatively, I don’t think a character can both try to take a machine gun or disassemble the torpedo, and go to find the commissar, unless some other measure is taken.

>>187565
Agreed, and without the aid of a sufficient load-besring device, it simply isnt feasible. If only it were someone else's problem. But anyway, since Pipette is gratefully obliging "Splendid. You'll be in fine care. Lead from the middle, let us protect you.:

>>187565
Then let us nix the machine gun retrieval. Unless if we seriously split the party, losing time in the process, Cavaliere cannot have it moved which makes the whole effort worthless. If Brie is going to stay behind and work on the torpedo, the party will have to come back for them anyway which would make the machine gun worth it. It's dependent on Brie's decision.

>>187568
Brie is not going to stay behind, because as said he would be unable to move the extracted explosives and no option for moving them is forthcoming

Mala:

*looks up at u*

>>187570
Oh how Ive waited,....

But now would be a good time for Rosey to maybe say something vague like "If I can come up with a load-bearing,... device, can these weapons be utilized?"
Just a suggestion

>>187565
"Excellent. Lead the way, Miss."

>>187571
Nevermind, allon zee as they say

Please, for the love of god, can you two come to an agreement for the good of the game, the party, and the GM?

>>187577
I think that everyone has agreed they are not going to try to salvage the warhead, or the machine guns, and they aren’t going for the leviathan skeleton.

>>187578
No, I am so fucking pissed off at this bullshit. For fuck's sake, I never had a problem with OOC posts until now. You two are aware we are going to fight a fucking god, right?

>>187580
Oh, Im aware, I laid the groundwork. He doesnt have to llay mice with me even, he just has to pretend his character is

>>187579
Wha? I thought I could go to the skeleton after the commissar and the airponies. Was I mistaken?
Oh well.
>>187577
I'm confused. What agreement?

>>187582
Yes, but Brie and Garv wont assume to be able to.move heavy equipment unless Rosie offers that she can make that happen. Digging in your heels is still fighting

>>187580
Yes. While you suggested the warhead plan and the GM forcefully hinted at the machine guns, the actual logistics of bringing them, and the opportunity cost of the time spent, raises a lot of challenges. If we all stay at the plane we risk losing the Commissar and the airponies. Splitting the party can accomplish both objectives, but at greater risk. The GM suggested that maybe there could be a workaround but I don't know what that could be.

>>187580
You have not one, but two player characters. You are the only one to have two. And neither of them give a shit enough about the bomb, the machine gun, or the scroll to put a hoof down and refuse to progress until this concern is addressed.

If your characters don’t care, just play your respective characters. If playing your characters true means they sleep walk into oblivion, as you seem to think they are, then let them do so.

>>187583
No, but no one knows what anyone’s plans are after going to the commissar. Actually, based off of statements from you and or Posey, it seems like that’s abandoned and you all are going to the airship.

>>187586
Unless something is said, Brie will be staying with the party, Ive just been illustrating the possibilities

>>187586
I was under the impression that GM didn't want me to reanimate a giant flying skeleton, so I decided not to talk about it until there was an actual opportunity.
I was also under the impression that people didn't want to handle the skeleton stuff until we found the airponies, so I was waiting until after that.

I do want to do the skeleton thing though.

I don't actually need to do it with a whale skeleton, btw. I just need a sufficient amount of bones, maybe from ~6-9 medium sized creatures.
>>187585
I wanted to split off to reanimate the monster while the party handled other matters, but I was told that wasn't desirable.

Silver: "We are not being stupid about this. There are MGs that those we have rescued can use to fend off Abominations, there is torpedo that can be turned into explosive device to try to kill Traveler, and you have scroll you still have not explained what it even does. We are not going to march straight to our deaths unprepared."

>>187589
It wasnt desirable for you to run off not saying anything but "trust me".
Be as vague as you want, but pretend Rpsie is a LITTLE bit of a team.player, given the open discussion of extracting the 1/4 ton explosive, and the heavy machine gun(s?)
Unless you WANT brie tagging along ;3

>>187590
>you still have not explained
"I already told you that I intended to use it to conjure an ally that could help us with the battle."

>>187592
Silver looks over at Posey. She notices that his face has become rather stern. "Good, what kind of ally? Describe him."

Last chance. You get ur skeleton, we get bombs and guns.
Brie looks back at the plane, reservations forming in his mind. "While ordinarily not one to out too much stock in such extreme levels of ordinance, I have a sinking feeling we might benefit from both the torpedo and the machine guns. It seems a shame to let them go to waste, if only we had a way to move them,...."

>>187589
In-character, no it's not desirable. You can split off at any point (you are not compelled to stay with the party) but it will raise even more questions. I think GM's objections were regarding the stats of the giant flying skeleton, but I don't recall these objections being resolved. Transporting the warhead is a perfectly fine way of using that creature, and otherwise we would need a harness and a team to move it.

>>187590
"I agree, but let's get the logistics of these weapons squared away. How will we move them, and can we ensure our charges will survive by the time we reach them?"

>>187592
"It's a conjuration scroll? That's useful. Why didn't you explain what it did sooner?"

Mala sits back and watches like a child whose parents are fighting.

>>187593
"You can never really be sure what it is until it appears, but I had in mind something large and durable, that also flies." Posey replies
"I was looking to use my masters scroll for something to carry me to the top of that mountain, where I could make an appeal to the spirits of the north to send us something to fight alongside us."
>>187595
>You can split off at any point (you are not compelled to stay with the party) but it will raise even more questions.
That's what I was originally going to do, but people got mad so I didn't.
>I think GM's objections were regarding the stats of the giant flying skeleton, but I don't recall these objections being resolved.
Yeah. I want to know if it's allowed before I go there to do it.
>onjuration scroll
"Not quite..."
>Why didn't you explain what it did sooner?
"I did explain it though."

>>187598
Silver: "Large, durable, flies, okay. How strong is it? Could it carry explosive, MGs, and ammunition?"

>>187600
"I would not know. I have never tried it before. It is my master's magic, not my own. But...."
Posey unfurls her scroll and squints at the spooky glowing sigils running across it
"...I think so?"
She pauses
".... It would probably expend my entire scroll to produce a minion that huge though..." she adds, slightly disappointed
"I will just bill Captain Waters for it."

>>187589
>>187598
You can split off any time. What you can’t do is find the party again.

I asked “how will posey find the party again?” Twice. The first time the question was dismissed as irrelevant, and the second time I was just outright ignored. I thought that she could do some extremely basic shit like saying “hey, can we meet at this place or time?” Or taking one of the two-way radios so that they can keep in communication… But no, you didn’t want to do this. This did not please me and I wasn’t going to allow a party split when players refuse to acknowledge very obvious, basic, serious, and ultimately easily resolved logistical problems.

>>187601
>>187599
Silver then turns to Brie. "Would that be enough to satisfy your logistical requirements?"

>>187596
Kira slithers over to the poor boy, and gives him some ear scritches.

>>187602
>how will posey find the party again?” Twice. The first time the question was dismissed as
If she were at the top of Mended Horn, wouldn't she be able to see the Kostroma from there? That's what I said last time.
>“hey, can we meet at this place or time?”
I mentioned meeting at the Kostroma
>Or taking one of the two-way radios so that they can keep in communication…
Oh wait, I forgot we had those. That's a good idea.
>But no, you didn’t want to do this. This did not please me and I wasn’t going to allow
I thought you just didn't want me to make a flying whale monster, so I low-key just gave up on it and stopped thinking about the logistics.

>>187604
>>187595
Silver: "If it flies, you will be able to attach explosive, MGs, and ammunition and fly with alongside it back to us. We will give you two-way radio so you can maintain communication, and agree to meeting point, likely near Airship. Perhaps Cavaliere can be convinced to stay with you as well, both to provide backup and to work on MGs while you work on explosive." Silver turns to Cavaliere, expecting an answer.

>>187601
Mala raises a paw.

“Uh… I can carry things…”

>>187609
Silver: "That would require Cavaliere to speak to them. As far as I know, none of them speak Ponish. It is good idea however."

>>187610
Kira: "Hehe, I know you can! Just look at all of those muscles under your fur!"

>>187610
"Good. Carry those guns then."

>>187605
Hey, if the bone lurker flies above the fog, I could use the stars above to tell which direction is which.

>>187611
"Ahhhhhhhhhh. You are correct, Griffonian and Severanyan sound so similar when youre unfamiliar. Then yes, it seems that this might work out after all. The 5 of you," Brie casts a squinty eye at Mala, "... maybe 4,... we'll see what Cavaliere thinks, may be able to depart post haste, as he can do the translating and we can do the dissection. I'm far less familiar with large-calibur weaponry, but I'm confident that I can dissect the torpedo in as long as it takes him to extract one of the guns, after which I could then assist if at all on the second. With the walkie, we can status when we are finished, and decide where to recconnoiter."

>>187615
Silver: "Good. We will first go to Commissar as it is closest, see if he needs rescuing and recruit him to our growing army. Then we will go to leviathan whale skeleton so Posey can summon her ally."

Mala smiles, and his tail moves side to side

“I can also make the prisoners do things if you need them to, and to watch over them.” He holds up his shot gun with evident pride. “I have experience as… as a - as a jailer.”

>>187617
Brie raises his hooves in a shrugging gesture to the party, as if to ask "Did somepony else know this?"

>>187617
>“I can also make the prisoners do things if you need them to, and to watch over them.” He holds up his shot gun with evident pride. “I have experience as… as a - as a jailer.”
"Oh, really? So do I. Enhanced Interrogation is one of my specialties. I do not think that is necessary yet though."
>>187616
"I would prefer to go to the skeleton alone, or at least use my master's scroll with some degree of privacy."

>>187619
Silver: "We will not split up any further than this, but we can provide you with privacy if it is necessary when we get there."

>>187619
Mala’s tail stops moving side to side, but stops midway, and then slowly moves down. His lips, likewise, slowly move down at the edges as his smile fades.

“Oh…” his head sinks down. “Okay…”

>>187620
Posey groans slightly,
>>187621
Pats

"Are we ready to see the commissar yet? What are we still here for?"

Brie turns to Garv and with a respectful nod to Mala who all this time he thought was a valet or some sort. "Gentlecreatures (none of them ponies, technically), shall we to business then?"

>>187621
Silver goes over to Mala, and gives him a much deserve headpat. "How about you, Mala? Are you staying with Brie and Cavaliere to help them out?"

>>187622
head is pat

>>187625
“I…” his head turns in a circular motion as he holds the syllable. “Think so?” His head and eyes move back up and lock on Silver. But he closes his eyes and smiles as Silver pats his head.

>>187627
pat pat pat

Silver: "I am sorry that I have not been giving you attention as I should. You are my friend, I should not be ignoring you so. I could say that this mission has had me distracted, but it sounds more like excuse than anything."

>>187628
Mala smiles, closes his eyes, and stretches out his neck as he moves both his head and his big, furry neck closer to Silver

>>187629
Silver moves to giving Mala some neck scritches. "I will not lie, I would appreciate having you by our side."

I'm going to go to bed soon.

>>187630
neck is scritched
Mala rivals Silver for fluffiness.

He opens his eyes and tries to look back towards Silver, with one of his big, triangular ears making its way past Silver’s foreleg and standing up. He leans towards Silver, and Silver can feel Mala’s moving tail hit his back.

“Where do you want me?”

>>187631
pets ze Posey

>>187632
Damn, that's pretty fluffy. Silver smiles as he can feel Mala's happiness. "I would like you to be with us."

>>187633
Silver feels Mala’s neck raise slightly as Mala moves a step forward. He can also feel Mala’s tail hit him again.

“I can go, if you don’t need me to watch the prisoners or… work on the torpedo.”

>>187634
Mala repeats to Brie,

“I can carry things.”

>>187635
Silver: "Heh. But if you come with us, maybe you could see what those monster starfish actually taste like."

>>187636
Mala’s head turns towards Silver, and with a more plain expression.

“We’ll be fighting more of those things as we go?!”

>>187637
Silver nods simply. "Possibly at some point, yes."

>>187302
Suddenly, Vir just straight up backhandshoofs the bap.

"Nye heh heh heh," Vir chuckles. "I know another naughty bap who could put to use a sweetie's, like yous' lil' bap wings into good money. Heh heh heh."

"...I'm not naughty," the bap says but not with much force and she doesn't look up from the floor.

Vir slaps her again, this time with her pimp cane.

"Shud up! Don't talk back, wings don't do that."

Vir puffs a cloud of smoke from her cigar.

>>187606
"I can do that. Would you like to carry the camera? Otherwise, maybe Dust knows how to use it. Bøkli speaks Ponish, but I can ask him."

He turns to the griffon followers. "Would you like to stay here and help move some heavy equipment we're getting from the plane? Zou je hier willen blijven en helpen met het verplaatsen van de zware apparatuur die we uit het vliegtuig halen?" he asks, repeating the question in Feathesian to Sørvik.

Off to side, out of sight and out of mind, Dust sneaks a quick grass tasting in between his prayers.
Hopefully the next place his missions take him has better grass.

>>187691
Kira comes over, wondering what her zeeb friend is doing so far away from the group. "Hey Dust! You're missing out on Silver talking about the group's plan." She tilts her head at his grass munching. "Are you hungry or something?"

>>187641
Silver takes the offered camera, nodding at the griffon.

>>187644
Silver: "We will take possessed ponies with us, so you do not have to worry about wrangling with them. It will also let us keep close eye on them."

>>187692
Dust's eyes open as he looks at the lamia who has caught him slacking in his prayers.
"Hello Kira my lamia friend,
My prayers have just come to an end.
I am glad to hear that our group
Is coming to plans like a troup.
As I had nothing to say
I decided to come and pray"
He looks down at the grass and back at her
"I am currently fine
I can assure this is not hunger's sign
My tendancy is to roam and graze
Rather than take set meals and laze
I hope my snacking does not faze"

>>187693
>>187695
Silver: "Do not worry, I am no so unfamiliar with camera. I appreciate concern, however."

>>187694
Kira giggles. "No need to worry, Dust! Did you want to come over and hear the plan from Silver, so you're not lost about what we're doing?"

>>187698
Breathing a sigh of relief, having picked up several coils of wasted film reel, Brie breathes a sigh of relief. In his mind, he was imagining trying to explain the Traveler to Captain Waters, with foiled evidence ;_;

“Uh, okay” Mala looks down to the right, then back up, then back down, then back up to Silver in quick succession. Presumably, Silver has stopped stitching her neck.

Bøkli:

“And what is the alternative?”

Sørvik:
“ Waar ga je heen met dit? Deze monsters zijn verschenen en deze soldaten, en we zien geen uitweg uit dit eiland - Where are you going with this? These monsters have appeared and these soldiers, and we see no way out of this island”

>>187644
Mala:

“I can make the prisoners drag each other.” He answers

>>187691
He’s had better, to be honest

>>187698
Dust smiles and nods. He stands to his hooves and follows his slithery friend over to the group.

>>187699
"Ay,..." Stern-face, even through mask, "We have a job to do. No dying until then, not without orders," Brie says, as deadpan as he can

>>187702
Intended for >>187698

>>187700
Silver resumes scritching Mala's neck. "So, how about it? Want to come with us?"

>>187701
Kira leads the zeeb back to the group, who has gathered around near the plane. Silver looks over to Dust, and smiles. "Good to see you are still with us, Dust. Did you hear plan, or do you need to be filled in?"

>>187704
Dust nods to Silver
"I must confess the plan I have not heard
However it would be nice to hear before we move forward"
Dust takes a seat as he waits to be filled in on the details.

>>187707
Silver nods at Dust. "Cavaliere and Brie will stay here at plane with rescued griffons, getting machine guns and explosive we will need for our fight against Traveler. Rest of us are going to Commissar, saving him if needed, and recruiting him and his soldiers to our growing army. After that, Posey has scroll she can use to summon ally using that leviathan whale skeleton we found at whaling village. She will use it to create or summon whatever ally she has in mind, it will fly back here to plane to pick up guns and explosives, and then we all will meet back up at airship."

Brie nods turns toward the torpedo, pulling out his thieves kit. He misses his masterwork set, but they were too hard to replace.
>>187700
I will wait for a prompt from you about what to do with the torpedo, not knowing which skill you would have me start with.

>>187710
Dust listens carefully. He betrays a small twitch at the mention of Posey summoning, but does not say a word
"Of the plan I think it sounds fair
Before we beseige the Traveler's lair.
I shall plan to travel with you
And hopefully see this mission through."
