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.
"Oh. If I'm to be making this into something we can use," Brie actually looks up from the circuitry and hardware, "Somepony will need to take this," he says, unwinding the camera from his neck.
"Since everypony is still standing around, I'll suggest that looking into the commissar might be fruitful," Brie says, wondering just how long this "20 minutes" will turn out to be
" While we're here, lets lay some ground rules. I will try to help you if I think I can, thats just what you do in a party. Havind said, if anyone is inclined to heroics," Brie's eyes dart to Silver, " They occurr at one's own risk,"
"Thats wise,... Im confident in my abilities, but one never knows if I might make a... lasting mistake."
and just to reephasize that I am that 1 nigger in 10000
"Unless you're all trying to buy me some time - good of you if the case - Ms. Kiraifiki seems particularly suited to tracking either the Commissar or the marines, either of which seem to be of benefit to us. So!" He glances up, while prying off a piece of metal and flinging it over his shoulder "I know we're all tired, but lets muster up a bit of good, old-fashioned gumption and (in this little universe) save fucking Equestria, unironically?"

I do hope the audience intuits all the expressive gestures, the artificical pleasantness, and fake charisma written into Brie, he's literally the worst
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,....

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

"Not to be a nuisance, but the camera?" Brie says, still fixated on the bomb, but holding up the camera with one hoof, waving it slightly so the motion draws the eye
He snaps a quick picture of the bomb, in case,... I dunno, forensics?

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.

"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.

"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."

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.

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.

"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.

"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.

the one I fell asleep during and Brie was on autopilot for?
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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."

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.

"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.

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.

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

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.
>>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]

"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."

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.:

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

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."

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

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

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."

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

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

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.

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
