Brie sighs, and then lifts his mask enough to expose his mouth before placing a cigarette in it, lighting it, and taking a long drag. a 10 or higher on an insight check will reveal he is losing patience
"Fine then, then the two of you be on your way. We rendesvous back at the airplane when we finish our respective tasks. Satisfactory?"

"Fine then, then the two of you be on your way. We rendesvous back at the airplane when we finish our respective tasks. Satisfactory?"
Silver lets out a sigh. "Look, there is impetus for us to split up into different teams and complete our objectives at same time before converging on Kostroma. But there is much danger on this island, and now not just from Traveler. After meeting resistance, GRU is going to be traveling in large, singular group, sweeping this island slowly yet methodically for threats. They will outnumber us, they will outgun us, but together we at least have chance of escaping if they notice us. If we split up, and they discover one of our groups, they are dead, and that group will be sorely missed when it comes time to fight Traveler. They are also dead if they do not have means of communication with rest of party." Silver clears his throat to emphasize that particular point to certain members of the party. "We travel together, for most part. As long as we do not dilly dally, we will be able to get to all of our objectives before GRU does. We go to Posey's leviathan bones first, do that, then Posey, Garv, and griffons will take that creature to crashed plane and load explosive and guns onto it while rest of us head towards airship. You will also take one of our radios so you can stay in touch. You will rejoin us along our route, as you will likely be traveling faster than us. Make sure to stay along south side of central hill. GRU will be coming from north side, and they will shoot you if they see you."

Brie let's Silver finish, uninterrupted. "You have a fascinating admiration for what the GRU is capable of, I wonder where this confidence stems from," Brie knocks the cherry off his now-smoked cigarette and stashes the butt in a back pocket, "No, the GRU are likely to treat this as a 'By the book' mission and run standard tactics, walking head-first into a meat-grinder. You heard the success that the Commissar had in trying to communicate, far better than I do because you speak the bloody language. Failure ISN'T an option. Having said, that's an inefficient plan; if we are to split up, it should be now, not later. Once this leviathan thingy is operational, that's when we should be converging, not separating. Sorry Silver, but while I'm amenable to either splitting up or sticking together, I can't agree with your proposed plan.
IMO, our two options are to stick it out as a group for the duration, or split up NOW and meet back at the airplane when we're 'done'; Ms. Ring and Mr. Cavaliere upon acquiring the... and us having investigated the airship, and having operated on it as we shall ascertain."

Silver raises an eyebrow at Brie apparently saving a lit cigarette for later. "GRU goes by another name that might be more familiar to you: Spetsnaz. These are not your average grunts, these are special forces. What training I went through as soldier and what training I gave to other ponies to turn them into soldiers cannot compare to what these commandos have gone through. If we are having this debate about whether to split up or stick together, then you can be certain they have already come up with answer of their own, and are executing it as we speak." He furrows his eyebrows at Brie. "This is not proposed plan. This is our plan. I am using executive decision here, there will be no more debates on what we will do."

"The good captain seems to have a better understanding than even you do. What makes you think that you are so worldy that you alone know what Spetznaz is? Ive killed spetznaz on several occasions. Theyre good at one thing and one thing only, killing quickly. But their tactics are designed against flesh and blood ponies who die quickly to sustained firepower. They don't HAVE a playbook or a 'plan B' "In case of eldritch abominations" tactics manual; like commies their strategy will be to keep trying what they know until it works. Now then are WE going to go find the airship and the wayward marines, or do you want to try and assert authority over Ms. Ring who like me who seems to also think that your "the plan" is not even worth considering?"

Posey is walking because she already decided that she is going to the whale bones and is not interested in discussing it further.
It is recommended that the party follows.
If no pony follows her, she will return in about ~20 minutes, and I will describe the results of her magic then.

Brie looks at Rosie, then to Kubana. "Our ability to track the marines is based on your nose, so really it's your call where we go next, unless we're simply to follow Ms. Ring," he turns back to Silver. "You are correct that this isn't a discussion; there would be nothing to gain by splitting up later UNLESS we plan to strike from different fronts, but that will be a strategic decision we decide on AFTER we have a better idea what resources we have and a closer look at the line of scrimmage. So unless Ms. Kirafiki wishes to lead in a different direction, I will assume to follow the 'Dread Pirate Rosey Ring'," he raises his voice for the benefit of the Commissar and crew, but his tone of voice suggests he is very much going to enjoy 'playing pirates'.

I know it's rude, but are we going to spend a seventh week in a row debating what direction to walk in? We need to make a decision and advance the plot.
I would prefer it if the party follows me, but I'm going to move on regardless.

I don't think its rude, I think its the sort of decisiveness and that we've been desperately needing. If there was a way Brie could push the party forward he'd have done so weeks ago, but without a giant skeleton to move the bomb/guns, the best he can hope for is to aid in whoever wants to A. find the marines/airship, or B. make a giant skeleton. Since Rosey is already headed for the giant skeleton - the one that directly aids Brie's part of this equation - then it stands to reason that he would follow Rosey, unless Kira wants to lead toward the marines.

Kira looks at Brie like a deer caught in headlights, not expecting to be called upon for decision making. "Um...I guess we follow Posey?" She slithers off to try to catch up to the impatient mare. "Hey, wait up!"
Silver's furrowed brow, meanwhile, turns to a frown. "I highly doubt your claim. No matter. Consider it as much or as little as you want, it is what we are doing. Join us or leave to do your own thing, it is your call." He looks over to the rest of the party and motions for them to follow him before also heading off after Posey. "Come on, people, let us not lose sight of Posey."

Okay, GM.
Posey takes one of the two-way radios with her, in the event that the party does not follow her (I would prefer it if we all went).
"We shall reconvene at this airship. Blackheel can take the time to reconsider if he wants to join us in boarding."
She draws her sword and points it off into the mist
"Onward!"

"I really thought that would go better..." Posey says, under her breath, as Silver catches up
"I guess it is the nature of sailors to be distrusting of 'pirstes'." She continues
"Oh well, we tried our best."

Wait, now I'm confused. Was it not our plan to destroy the Traveller first?
Months ago, our initial plan was to find the Marines before anything else, but then we received hooks to imply that we needed to fight The Traveller first.

Now you're willing to discuss a plan? We could have talked about this before impromptu splitting the party.
My priority has always been to find the "marines" (they're not marines, they're aviation sea-ponies) because they are very likely injured and certainly in distress. The Fellow Traveler and the GRU only intensify this urgency, because now they are under serious threat of attack as well. If we put off the rescue, the only thing we'll be able to rescue is corpses if that (not that Posey would object). As for OOC hooks, I recall GM Pony explicitly saying that if we take on the objectives one at a time we will not be able to get all of them.

>If we put off the rescue, the only thing we'll be able to rescue is corpses if that
That is a compelling point.
Worth noting, if we're looking for the Marines first, I would not need to do this skeleton thing.

No, there was willingness to discuss a plan weeks ago when players were touching their feelings about making nice with the commies. The willingness to discuss has since vacated. What you're seeing now is a bunch of players who were willing to play nice/along deciding: "Nah fuck that".
Oddly, it will work out better this way.

Let me show you what I mean.
Brie draws his silenced revolver and places it at the side of the head of the Dusty Zebra.
Small wonder if this action will be accepted by GM.

Kira, looking back at the rest of the party to make sure they're following, notices this and immediately stops in her tracks. Reacting before anyone else can, she draws her bow and aims two arrows at Brie before the others can blink. "Step. Away. From the zebra."
It should be noted, this is the first time anyone has heard Kira actually sound angry so far.

Oh hush. Just like the 'warning shot' and OVER a half-dozen things I have TRIED to do and been simmarily IGNORED, holding a gun to Dusty's head "isnt gonna be accepted". Dusty would have to be present to be held at gunpoint. Is he even still here?

Until we get confirmation that it isn't, Kira is going to continue to act as if it is. She is dead serious about shooting Brie if he doesn't put the gun away right that second and step away from Dust.

And Brie was DEAD-SET on firing a warning shot, and that didn't happen. So we wait, and you can sit and spin.

Silver "I'm gonna talk this nigger's ear off" Sword is picking a BAD time to try and assert the 'dadd-pants', which were only agreed on to appease Shoal Waters (the captain who tasked us with this mission, if you forgot).

It's a comedy of errors. Everypony has been impatient for a while (understandably) and wanted to get the quest moving again. At our one best opportunity to formulate a plan, some players jump the gun before we can collectively agree on anything. Now that we are moving, we are back to the question of "What should we do?"

I say we leave it to the spell. The spell can tell us what to do, where to go, and in what order to do it, in a way that it most favorable to us (which means, if there is a 100% win condition, we can seize it). This is the simplest and quickest way to decide on the plan.

If you shoot our Cleric, I will cut your head off.
You can't kill him in one shot, so your threat to kill him is dubious, but I can kill you with one touch. Your fortitude and Will saves are bad. Think about it carefully.

>>188991
I am with you. I could delete him with a spell if need be (ghoul touch + coup de grace); it would be more effective than an arrow. He's grappling, so his touch AC is nil.
Posey nods to Kira and steps towards the two, charging her hood with destructive energies.
