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."

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."

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.

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

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!"

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.

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:

"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."

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.

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.

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?

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."

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.

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.:

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.

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

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
