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.

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."

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?)

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?"

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

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.

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.

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."

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?”
