Now that the con is over, is there any plan to continue the story soon, GM?
I think we had some coherent plans for what to do next, buried somewhere in this thread.

Yes, I misspelled 'out' in my agitation, I do that when agitated. But no, you don't get to be petulent about things (that's my role, fight me for it) and yes, you will be patient and respectful.

Yes, I’ll try to reply soon
Ne aware that while I’ve heard something about taking at least some portion of the party back to the crash site, I’m not actually sure what the plan is

Posey, Garv, and the griffons are taking Monstro the Bone Lurker to the plane crash, and strapping the explosive and guns to him to carry. The rest of us are heading directly for the airship. After the plane group is done, they'll meet us and rejoin the group along our route to the airship.

Basically this. Posey is picking up the bomb and the guns. She will have monstro carry the bomb, and use her Dreads to mare the guns and defend monstro.
Then we will meet with the party at the blimp site. I can roll any necessary charisma checks with the airponies there.
Idk if GM noticed my intent to animate a second, smaller bone lurker, but that's fine. I got more than I needed out of this scroll.

Oh, since it looks like I am now responsible for handling the bomb, can ponies explain to me what we intend to do with the bomb? I am a bit confused as to what the long term plan is with this thing.

Well, you will need an explosives expert to RE-arm it, so at the moment it will suffice for the good whale to transport it. I said it in character, but the explosive is ready to go, just a few turns on 3 bolts and it will pop right out.

I'm quite serious about this. When the time comes, I have a wall of emotive and dsriptive text of my own.
Lest I be deemed "not serious".
Carry on! ^_^

Okay, but what are we actually doing with it?
>you will need an explosives expert to RE-arm it
Alright. That way it won't explode if Monstro is destroyed.
>>189819
>We're gonna force it inside the Traveler's body and detonate it.
I am skeptical that a creature that survived orbital impact would be destroyed with mortal explosives, but that's an option. Perhaps it's only immune to exterior damage. I intended to rot The Traveller with my Necromancy magic.
Exploding the Traveller while it's still on the Kostroma would risk destroying the Kostroma and everypony inside it, so that plan would first require transporting The Traveller.
If we end up not using it, we could always use monstro as a kamikaze to sink the GRU ship (bone lurkers using aerial charging tactics by default). I think that is a much better use of explosives, but that's just me.

On a meta level, I'm totally there with you. I have a crazy idea to that end, but I'm hoping it won't come to that.

Imo, based on RPG logic, I anticipate that the Traveller will show is it's "true form" and grotesquely polymorph into a more dangerous form in the "boss fight" where it will be destructible, in which case we may be able to kill it with bullets. If it anticipates us blowing it up or rotting it inside out, it will not simply sit and wait to be destroyed: it will lash out and fight like a cornered animal. We should be prepared to fight an aberrant monster as deadly as an Aboleth mage.
But we should plan ways to destroy it otherwise, just in case it stays dormant.

Well, anyway, I have my hooves crossed that it will hatch into an alien boss fight, because boss fights are fun, and that would save us the bomb to kamikaze into the GRU ship.
If possible, I could roll Bluff to provoke it into showing its true form, or Intimidate to get it to panic and lash out.

>Perhaps it's only immune to exterior damage. I intended to rot The Traveller with my Necromancy magic.
That's the plan! It's clear that its hide is resistant to damage and has the ability to disintegrate weapons, but no indication has been made that the same is true throughout its entire body. By using your magic to rot out the insides of the Traveler, then detonating the explosive inside of it, it's hoped that it will be enough to overcome any supernatural abilities it has and kill or at least mortally wound it.
>Exploding the Traveller while it's still on the Kostroma would risk destroying the Kostroma and everypony inside it
That's a benefit of detonating the explosive inside the Traveler. Its body will absorb the force of the explosion, rather than the ship.

If my magic could rot a hole in it, could I just rot the whole thing?
>That's a benefit of detonating the explosive inside the Traveler. Its body will absorb the force of the explosion, rather than the ship.
I don't believe that would work, tbh.
If push comes to shove, we can try to blow it up, but I would prefer to exhaust other means to destroy it first, even if I need to enter dialogue with it to destroy it.
The Traveller has already entered my mind once today, and I got a nat 20 to shake off it's influence: it should not be able to dominate me again today, so I could try to psychically coax it out of dormancy, so we can kill it the old fashioned way.

Allow me to elaborate.
What I would advise would be for some foolishbat bastard to engage the Traveler in direct dialogue.
Said bastard would be aware of the Traveler's ability to affect mind, so would be "Playing pazaaak" (kotor 2 reference) or 'listening to "It's a Small World" in his head' so to be harder to "read". Its a not uncommon tactic in card games, where one occupies their thoughts with menial thoughs so to assist in attempts to diminish their actual intentions

Reiterating, I'm quite serious about all of this. If you choose to say "Brie makes foolish decisions and dies", then sure. But otherwise, Brie would have PREMIUM position on any encounters wrt the Traveler and their consortium (as well as any hold-outs).
Since he has a radio however, he might observe details that could possibly aid the party in their advance, which he might relay.

As a /mlp/ refugee could someone give me a tldr on what's the Occupied Equestria? Is it a fic quest inspired by the Equestria At War, it's own thing or what?
>>189849
It's a 3.5e D&D (or d20 Modern) play-by-post campaign, inspired by Equestria at war.
But on most days, it's closer to what you described, being largely casual, dialogue-driven RP.
I play a Dread Necromancer spy from the Dread League, and I shall raise an army to reconquer equestria from the changelings.

I want to reiterate that this sounds like a bad idea, and that we should explore other options.
Nevertheless, I will have Monstro carry the bomb there.

Hey Sven, are you still alive? Wanna continue Virgin Flame?
>>189849
Yes, it is based on Equestria at War. In this world, a Fascist aligned New Mareland invaded Equestria across the Ocean during the Great War, splitting Equestria in two. The main area of action takes place around Baltimare. We have been using D&D 3.5 for combat, but there's also lots of just roleplay and slice of life, in addition to horror and adventure.

Is there anything else I need to clarify before heading off to the plane to collect the items?
When I said I was going to the airship, I meant the plane. I intend to follow the plan we agreed to.

All these descriptions about cold fog has made me wonder if trying to bring back a vestige of Little Leto could be worth the try. He was a vampire who died in a swamp with his body destroyed, so he fits the criteria of a character that might become a Crimson Death, with some help, although he can never become a proper vampire again. The swamp has demonstrable necromantic resonance and has sporadically produced that's and ghosts, which makes it prime ground for a crimson death; and the death trees and savage wolves seemed to imply that Leto's presence was still poisoning the land. Posey also just learned Kelgore's Grave Mist, so she's been studying cold fog and its necromantic properties.
I'll put it on the shelf as an idea to consider talking about with with Baka later. I don't really benefit from having an uncontrolled intelligent bloodsucking gaseous dollar-store ghost around, but it would be fun for research reasons (a "friendship lesson" as a discovery about the nature of undeath).
I keep thinking of new sidequests... I should probably focus on setting up my research lair before anything else. I did promise to mail the ghost's anchors to their respective addresses too.

I just want a wounded-ass, possibly permanently-disfigured Brie to be able to go back to Lacey's family with evidence of having harrowingly survived an encounter with killing/banishing/wtfe-ing whatever the Traveler is, so I can open up her as a character and begin whatever process is necessary for the establishment of her establishment. Her primary function as a character is negotiations and diplomacy, but also fine with Everybody was Kung Fu fighting.

Cool.
Aside from world domination, my fringe ideas often include creating various kinds of undead, especially through means other than spells. Posey is interested in researching Necromancy and undeath, so simply raising creatures as undead is a rewarad in itself because it counts towards a discovery of Necromancy that Posey can write home about as a "Friendship lesson". Reanimating previously slain villains also has been a fun motif that I would like to consider continuing. Undead creation related quests could include:
>Rue Dumare (Juju/Intelligent zombie)
Posey has already brought Rue Dumare back as a zombie. Although she has brought back the zebra sorceress's body, she has not been able to bring back her mind, as well as her sorcerous knowledge. One way or another, Posey intends to properly restore Rue Dumare, through regular status updates and experiments. If Posey gets to the proper level, she may use spells such as Create Undead (Juju Zombie), Awaken Undead, or Unling Identity to bring Rue Dumare back as an intelligent zombie. Posey also hears that certain fungi can sporadically cause creatures to become Juju zombies, so she will research blightspawned creatures.
>Agire
Posey raised Agire as a ghoul (hopefully a grave touched ghoul) as consolation to fulfill the "favor" that she promised to his family. That aside, Posey has ulterior motives for her ghastly funeral service: corrupting and subverting the kaftar temple. Posey will monitor Agire's progress to see to it that he regains his powers and properly inherits the leadership position within the kaftar temple, so that he may preach the gospel of the demon Yeenhoghu and sow extremism within the community that she intends to mobilize when she takes over the city.
I was also working on a statblock for Agire, if GM was interested.
>Umoya
Just like Posey raised Agire, Posey seeks the same for the Crocutta shaman Umoya, but not by her own means. Posey intends to have Agire do it, as a test of his skills to see if he has become a suitable priest of evil.
If Agire succeeds on a sacrifice to reanimate Umoya, the two spiritual leaders in the gnoll community may join forces, setting aside their ethnic hatred in solidarity as they prepare to fight in the coming Armageddon.
>Baka
Through some means, Posey intends to help Baka become a proper vampire. I've read too many stories about vampire familiars who served the entirety of their lives only to get shafted in the end, so I want to help him out. The easiest way I can think of would be to use Flesh Of Orcus (a 6k magic item) that he could consume to become a vampire (this only works if a "Bloodbound" is similar to a blood ghoul, and still counts as humanoid for vampire transformation); but I don't think such an item is on sale in Baltimare. Perhaps I could try to gradually progress him in the vampire class instead.
In life, Posey once dreamed of becoming a proper sister of the Coven herself, but her mother has other ideas. Now her binding to her master forbids her from intentionally seeking out means to turn herself into vampire that would subvert the authority of the Coven, but she can still help a friend.
>Leto
As described above. There's no guanteed mechanical process for creating a crimson death, so I would have to just try to be creative.
>Curwhinny
Lich or not, Curwhinny was a powerful Necromancer. Posey intends to find his remains and extract knowledge ingrained in his bones ala Speak With Dead, so that he may inherit his research. This does not necessarily require raising him, just learning about his studies.
>Licorice Lament
He is a Black Horse, and he has a taste for wine, so he may be able to be my Famine harbinger, so I would like to help him see the benefits of being dead later on. Perhaps his marefriend could help motivate him; they are running into some family troubles.
>Dark Star
Dark Star is a Red Horse, a warrior, and has a strong capacity for hatred, so he may be able to bear the mantle of War. With his player's cooperation, I would like to make him a Death Knight some day, if he is interested in becoming Darth Stellaris. The method I would like to use involves a ritual suicide while Posey magic-jar's into his body, so it would require Posey to be at least level 8.
>The Horde
Posey is serious about taking over the world, and for that she will need an army, and a place to store them. She intends to gradually build up undead forces and store them in safehouses, preferably underground, some even buried. The Horde would involve various undead monsters, some controlled and some uncontrolled. Posey intends to create as many undead soldiers as possible, and command the ones in excess of her control pool to bury themselves and await the war.
>Gloomy
Posey intends to make Gloomy her apprentice, which means eventually crucifying him to make him a Necropolitan like herself. Gloomy is the last horse, so this comes much later.
.
I'll post my other sidequest ideas separately. The other ones are more immediately important and feasible.

Other sidequests:
>Buy land
Posey intends to buy Curwhinny's farm with the funds she raised from this mission. She intends to convince Glass Horizons that the land is irreparably damaged by necromantic activity and that it is a liability unsuitable for development or resale, but also offer to buy it off of him so that she may continue her research there.
If he needs extra convincing, Posey could plant the haunted objects on the site and have the ghosts scare some ponies for a couple weeks to blockbust the area to throw the real estate value in the gutter.
By acquiring Curwhinny's farm, Posey will also be able to monopolize the archaeological research there and expel rival universities, which Ersatz Orgone would certainly be very pleased to hear about. Doing this would raise Posey's Profile within the Necromancy department, and make Ersatz Orgone more friendly towards her, and therefore less suspicious. Perhaps she could even apply for some research grants to open a lab there.
>Promises made to the ghosts
Posey promised to mail the objects haunted by the ghosts to their requested locations, and she intends to make do on that promise, although she would like the ghosts to help with her blockbusting stunt first, although they may need some "convincing" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>Auction the relic
Posey acquired a holy relic in one of her last missions, but it isn't really that useful to her because GM has elected to NOT indulge my abuse of the dysfunctional 3.5e rule where holy items can cause lvl 1 evil creatures to become undead.
However, it being a holy relic, it cannot be sold (except for its weight in silver), but it may make excellent bait for
>Meeting August Wreath again
Posey intends to meet August Wreath again, not to kill him (he's not ripe yet), but to offer him the holy relic that he was searching for in his own quest. It gives the opportunity to reopen dialogue with him, and gain more information about the ELF. Posey passively supports the ELF because the insurgency could cause chaos and bloodshed that she could take advantage of in her own military efforts. Also, I want him to level up as a Shadowbane Inquisitor, so that he can become a better Death Knight later.
To do this, Posey will use the university's archaeological and necromantic researched platform to interview those who are interested in it, advertising it as an item that demonstrates powers against the undead. She will mention in the post that interviees who demonstrate the ability to channel positive energy (Turn Undead) may be awarded the relic as a research grant. If news of the relic reaches August, I have a hunch that he would investigate even knowing that it may be a trap (because that's how paladin's roll), either to obtain the relic or to attempt to destroy Posey.
>My Precious
Posey, having acquired a cursed artifact tiara, would like to study it and learn what its powers truly are. She also intends to bond with the crown so that she may be able to use it, through various means (Item Familiar, Forging a New Legacy, Item Bonding, giving it sentience and then seducing it, etc). Posey always wanted a magical tiara of her own, and the fact that it's cursed makes her love it all the more.
>Open an arcane research center
Posey intends to open a business in service of her current guild (the University), preferably on Curwhinny's farm. This would be a Criminal enterprise using a Scholarly business as its front. This gives Posey stuff to do during downtime, and have an actual job to raise funds with.
>Gain Reputation (points?)
Posey intends to raise her Reputation, with the guise of being an honest, law-abiding citizen and upstart magical genius. Doing this involves treading a dangerous life between her criminal underground and her public profile. By making regular perform checks and gaining NPC contacts, she intends to attract distant powerful patrons who can offer her quests and resources. If possible, she may pursue formal political or military positions.
>Schooling Gloomy
Posey intends to eventually make Gloomy her apprentice, but maintaining her public profile as an upstanding citizen may require enrolling him in school... Which is conveniently close to Curwhinny's farm.
>Black Rock Castle
When Posey gains sufficient power and wealth, she will eventually want a more spectacular place of living, and what better way to do it than conjure a magical tower out of crystal with the power of friendship? Posey will at some point try to construct a stronghold on Curwhinny's farm; using her necromantic magic for wealth shenigans if GM permits it
>War on the Changelings
Posey eventually intends to lead a righteous war to rid Equestria of Changeling infestation. To accomplish this, she must amass power through magic, wealth, and reputation.
Other sidequests:
>Buy land
Posey intends to buy Curwhinny's farm with the funds she raised from this mission. She intends to convince Glass Horizons that the land is irreparably damaged by necromantic activity and that it is a liability unsuitable for development or resale, but also offer to buy it off of him so that she may continue her research there.
If he needs extra convincing, Posey could plant the haunted objects on the site and have the ghosts scare some ponies for a couple weeks to blockbust the area to throw the real estate value in the gutter.
By acquiring Curwhinny's farm, Posey will also be able to monopolize the archaeological research there and expel rival universities, which Ersatz Orgone would certainly be very pleased to hear about. Doing this would raise Posey's Profile within the Necromancy department, and make Ersatz Orgone more friendly towards her, and therefore less suspicious. Perhaps she could even apply for some research grants to open a lab there.
>Promises made to the ghosts
Posey promised to mail the objects haunted by the ghosts to their requested locations, and she intends to make do on that promise, although she would like the ghosts to help with her blockbusting stunt first, although they may need some "convincing" ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
>Auction the relic
Posey acquired a holy relic in one of her last missions, but it isn't really that useful to her because GM has elected to NOT indulge my abuse of the dysfunctional 3.5e rule where holy items can cause lvl 1 evil creatures to become undead.
However, it being a holy relic, it cannot be sold (except for its weight in silver), but it may make excellent bait for
>Meeting August Wreath again
Posey intends to meet August Wreath again, not to kill him (he's not ripe yet), but to offer him the holy relic that he was searching for in his own quest. It gives the opportunity to reopen dialogue with him, and gain more information about the ELF. Posey passively supports the ELF because the insurgency could cause chaos and bloodshed that she could take advantage of in her own military efforts. Also, I want him to level up as a Shadowbane Inquisitor, so that he can become a better Death Knight later.
To do this, Posey will use the university's archaeological and necromantic researched platform to interview those who are interested in it, advertising it as an item that demonstrates powers against the undead. She will mention in the post that interviees who demonstrate the ability to channel positive energy (Turn Undead) may be awarded the relic as a research grant. If news of the relic reaches August, I have a hunch that he would investigate even knowing that it may be a trap (because that's how paladin's roll), either to obtain the relic or to attempt to destroy Posey.
>My Precious
Posey, having acquired a cursed artifact tiara, would like to study it and learn what its powers truly are. She also intends to bond with the crown so that she may be able to use it, through various means (Item Familiar, Forging a New Legacy, Item Bonding, giving it sentience and then seducing it, etc). Posey always wanted a magical tiara of her own, and the fact that it's cursed makes her love it all the more.
>Open an arcane research center
Posey intends to open a business in service of her current guild (the University), preferably on Curwhinny's farm. This would be a Criminal enterprise using a Scholarly business as its front. This gives Posey stuff to do during downtime, and have an actual job to raise funds with.
>Gain Reputation (points?)
Posey intends to raise her Reputation, with the guise of being an honest, law-abiding citizen and upstart magical genius. Doing this involves treading a dangerous life between her criminal underground and her public profile. By making regular perform checks and gaining NPC contacts, she intends to attract distant powerful patrons who can offer her quests and resources.

>To what though? A zombie that is as intelligent as a normal zebra?
To a type of undead that retains its personality and class levels, like a juju zombie.
>What
Yeenhoghu is the demon god of gnolls. I wasn't necessarily asserting his existence in the setting, but the point is that having an evil Cleric on my side is useful.
>I feel like I'm missing a whole story here
The two gnoll communities are enemies. Perhaps they could be friends instead. The story is yet to be told.
>I don't think you're going to get 50,000+ words out of him
I didn't expect that much. Maybe he left some research notes lying around.
>What benefits and what motivation?
I don't know yet. I still need to get to know Licorice. Perhaps he might be interested in promises of power and decadence, perhaps not.
>There actually was an idea for this
Hmmm?
Perhaps I may have use for it after all.
>This is just so blatantly wrong I don't understand where the idea comes from.
I thought it was written somewhere in the book of exalted deeds, but idk; I may have imagined it. Point is I wasn't sure who would buy such an item for it's full price. I would be glad to get some good money out of it though.
>This may be arranged
Great.
>She has connections at the university
I intend to use them. They could at least help me cast Identify.
>What?
Legitimate research for the college of arcane sciences.
>I'm imagining a call center doing scam calls.
That's an idea too. I wonder how much ponies would pay to hear the voices of their deceased loved ones.
>This should be fleshed out more
I will try.
>This is a maybe
You mentioned school a few times, so I took it that you wanted me to do that.
It could give me a few opportunities to roleplay Gloomy Sundae as well.
>Just kidding. Anything can be bought with enough money
Hopefully I can get a good deal if the land is haunted.

Perhaps some day, in the future.
>Were it so easy

>Posey needs special rewards for surviving her encounters with paladins and clerics...
Levels, please.
>Not the slightest idea on what that's supposed to be
A ghost-like, bloodsucking monster made of mist that arises when a vampire dies in a swamp. It was just a thought of ways to make Baka happy so that I could get magical favors from him.

Unrelated side-question, what was the story on the revolver in the outhouse from way earlier? Was there mention of the calibur?
>>189948
It was determined to be nonmagical and nonmasterwork, so it doesn't really matter, unless you are asking for forensic reasons.
I fished it out with my magic, but I didn't bother keeping track of it after it was determined to be nonvaluable.

>This looks to be a single-player rpg
These were plans that I made when I was solo roleplaying for more than a year before I met the party.
It doesn't all have to be solo though. I thought that I would be joining the party in exterminating Changelings when I joined.
