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.

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?

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

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.

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.

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

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,...."

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?"

"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."

That's what I was originally going to do, but people got mad so I didn't.

Yeah. I want to know if it's allowed before I go there to do it.

"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."

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.

"I mean, theres the question of meeting back. I MIGHT be able to drag it some distance, but nothing effective; Garv seems a bit stronger but even so, this is heavy and awkward equipment. Can you find your way back in time?"

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.

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.

"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."

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.

"This is more in lone with what I am thinking. The Commissar and the Marines are probably much closer to danger than we will be. The traveler doesn't know the first thing about this technology I'll wager, and we will probably be able to work relatively unmolested. Whereas with the marines - and I'm hoping likewise the downed airship - there is strategic value of both to the traveler. Oh, it's not likely to specifically comprehend an airship, but flying transport isn't much of a stretch. We still know so little,... in any case, I suspect that Silver will need the muscle more than we do. We don't have to necessarily be striding casually when we're innbound with the payloads, just as long as we can move them in a reasonably timely manner. The only question then is the prisoners."

[Read more] “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.

“And what is the alternative?”

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?"

"I must confess the plan I have not heard

Dust takes a seat as he waits to be filled in on the details.

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."

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."

Oh, I found out a way for the party to meet up again if they split up: if you cast Light on a pebble, and sling it 250 ft in the air, it's a bootleg flare. This way the party can reveal their location to characters across the island.
Also works with an arrow, which can be shot 500 ft in the air.
Dust has Light prepared, iirc.

Well, first off, no, Brie can't just deft hands the radio away. Second:
Silver: "Radio is for calling for extraction. Entire point of us being here is to avoid starting war. That all goes out window if we call for troops, planes, warships, or whatever."

"We could inform Captain Waters about the Eldritch demigod and the mind controlled thralls and the summons and whatnot, and ask him to confirm that he would be willing to compensate us for all of the extra efforts. I believe it could make or break our team's morale to know if we found out whether or not we are doing this for free."

Okay, this is actually a decent point made by someone in character rather than just stealing a radio they already have and only saying "Let's call Captain Waters".
Silver: "That is good point. Let me see if I can contact him."

Silver takes the radio he already has, adjusts the frequency for Captain Water and/or the plane, and calls in. "Island team reporting in, over."

She speaks with a think accent that by now, Dust is probably learning to recognize as Severyanan. But she may have a speech impediment, or other peculiarity that causes her voice to sound off as well.
It’s a set of symptoms are too familiar in the Kostroma survivors. She is shaking. Her mane is disheveled. Her pupils are shrunken. Her eyes are bloodshot and tired.

Dust moves slowly, very slowly, and places a hoof atop Pipette's head.
And begins to pet.

Dust quickly discovers that she isn't averse to touch per se, just specifically to her tin foil hat being pushed off, as she is almost unreactive to Dust's hug.
While I don't want to say that she is "chubby," her build is closer to that of a true barrel, rather than a recessed belly, and she is stocky rather than thin or lanky. She is reasonably fluffy, although the clothing she is wearing prevents Dust from feeling the full extant. Individual ribs are not easy to feel, but the hug doesn't seem to cause her pain

So since Garv already succeeded on his rope use, thanks for that prompt, its just a disable device, correct? On second thought, better to take a 10. At +12

And then he returns to working on getting a machine gun ready for transport.

Tentative no (I guess no one wants to role anything or announce any actions but just wants to walk into something...). However, I will be available all of tomorrow and Wednesday

I readied an attack (charm gaze) and made perception checks. Is there anything else I can/should roll?
The Dreads have higher perception than Posey, but they have no mouths or any ability to communicate verbally, so Posey instructs them to make Elon salutes in the event that they spot anything from their elevated position.
They should be able to see over the crest of the hill, and are on the lookout for ambushes, since we all know monsters love to hide behind hills.

I had declared that Brie would start by taking a 10 on disarming/extracting the payload. It wouldn't (I hope) be a low enough roll to set anything off, in that it was a military contract for industrial production, and would inform him if he will have to try harder.
See what my younger brother did to my car?
Point of authenticity, Brie's disable check will only make sure the explosive doesnt go off in extraction and transport, until reenabled later. He may not have the mechanical skill (different check?) To remove it

Sorry, but serious side-question. Is the explosive composition of the torpedo going to be something that can be factored into a/the plan?
A common composition for bombs and ordinanced explosives was an explosive detonator and a big bucket of aluminum shavings.
Might that be the case here, and is there a possibility of utilizing that knowledge in some capacity other than shoving bomb up butthole, set off bomb, profit?

It is not aluminum shavings. There is insufficient oxidizer for aluminum. It's amatol. Amatol is a mixture of 60% TNT and 40% ammonium nitrate, which is significant in that it works well in aneorbic environments, like underwater. I could not figure out exactly what state of matter it is, but I believe it is a soft solid and likely start to collapse under its own weight. The most significant detail to know is that it will absorb moisture out of the air. Also, don't hit it too hard.

>>187824
I'm skeptical but good enough.
Brie quickly discerns that the only serious danger, aside from maybe accidentally turning the engine on, is the warhead falling onto its end and activating the detonator. Thus Brie inserts a makeshift pin that disarms the warhead, and then removes the detonator. After that, it's a matter of removing the warhead. Of course, all of this assumes that the warhead and the remainder of the torpedo have been secured separately before hoof. Once the warhead is removed, it may be lowered to the ground and then taken apart, Eventually, the active materials may be taken out separately.

The griffins speak amongst themselves in their own language. Bøkli answers for the lot:
"We don't like to travel in the fog, and this plane is the only cover we've seen in a while. We'd prefer to stay here."

“There’s explosives here?!”

I don’t think it’s possible to do much for that group without most of the players…

Cavaliere nods slowly and motions with one of his claws for them to settle down. "I won't hide this information from you. This plane was a torpedo bomber that was still loaded when it crash-landed. We've secured a torpedo and are disarming it, and we'll use its warhead to destroy the source of those monsters. It's our best bet at getting off this island safely."

Cavaliere is presumably looking down at them as he's up in a turret, unscrewing various mounts. He looks briefly at his busy ally before replying. "Considering we're still here, experienced enough. If we're interrupted we'll have to fight. Once I get this gun off, would you mind helping to carry it?"

>>187845
Hmmm…
Cavaliere should either make a diplomacy roll, or make a persuasive argument for why they should stay. That is, if he wants them to stay. Considering that they have experience that could have some applicability to working on the plane, torpedo, and turrets, they could be useful. Certainly they are several rather large males who could help with the manual parts.

"Bøkli, you have a griffon waiting for you in Trottingham. The main obstacle to seeing her are the landing communists and the creature they're after. My group will do any fighting we need to do, but we need heavy weaponry and this plane is an Arcturius-sent gift for that purpose. With your knowledge of ship maintenance, could you help me get this job done?"
"Sorvik, jij hebt een verantwoordelijkheid naar je bemanning om ze van dit eiland te krijgen waar je ze hebt geland. Mijn groep zal de moeilijke delen verzorgen, maar we hebben jouw bemanning nodig om ons te helpen, want tijd is van essentieel belang. Kun je helpen om dit kanon hier weg te krijgen? Ziet u nog iets anders dat we van dit vliegtuig kunnen gebruiken?"

"Very well, I will help.

Het is een onvermijdelijk gevolg van het feit dat je in de buurt van dat wezen bent. En wat de communisten betreft die van plan zijn dat wezen te gebruiken, die staan er niet om bekend dat ze griffioenen uit hun klauwen laten.

Vir's hoof slapped Sea Breeze's cheek.
"Heh heh heh," she laughed evilly. "What a cute lil' colt. You come to this office often?"
Sea Breeze had tears welling up in his eyes he tried to cross his legs as one of Vir's hooves snaked down between them.
"Please," he sobbed out. "I'm saving myself for the right mare."
"Not for long. Wlegh. Heeh. Ooogh. Heh."
She let out a croaking chuckle that made her sound as if she had relatives straight out of Innsmouth.

>Politely, get fucked.
Seems a bit harsh, or mean. Perhaps, not the best way to present critique but I don't really know what this is about either, maybe it's earned and you did say it in a kinda playful manner as well.I guess one shouldn't worry about who take offence and such and only the degree of truth in statement but idk. And it's not like GM doesn't butt heads himself.
I guess, I'm not really in the mood for more conflict despite it might be accurate criticism, due to the fact that the group has almost turn toxic at this point. But we also need to be honest with our problems or they become niggling issues in the back of our minds. Hmm, imo idk.

Maybe, you're right. It's just that this thread, I feel, is hanging on a thread. ^^ It's just constant fighting. I don't get to play. And it's not fun (in general to be here) which is the main goal of the thread after all.
Yes, you might be right and it might be warranted for all I know but I'm just afraid that this will start up another dozens of posts with arguing. And while we need to air our problems with each other, I feel that there is a constructive way of doing this and more destructive manner.
