>>189176Cavaliere will accompany Posey to the skeletal remains and assist with gathering bones for whatever this plan might be. May I roll a search to find that "leviathan" skull?
[1d20+2 = (15+2) = 17] >>189189Don't use me as a cope for your arguments
>>189176Dust does NOT follow to the bones, as I am hoping to keep the poor zeeb's sanity intact a little longer.
I'm assuming Silver and Kira aren't going that way (I think) so he sticks with them.
>>189219Then play, or have the good sense to not leave other players waiting on you.
>>189219No seriously, I will bend over backwards if you actually engaged the thread/site
>>189219Silver and Kira are in fact, going towards the bones
>>189216Cavaliere thinks that there is...
something... In the water north of the pier, and near the main set of bones
>>189223I don't want you to bend over backwards, I want you to leave me alone. 2025 has sucked and I'd just like to pretend I don't exist.
>>189224Of course they are. I guess Dust has no other choice at this point... He follows. This should end poorly
>>189246
*deep breath*
Anon, I don't want to make things harder for you. I'm an asshole, but I think the world of you and what you have accomplished. I know a bit (I wont say) but I'm one of your biggest fans, even if that doesn't come across.
>>189249
>anon
You know who I am Xp
>still waiting on GM
Lads, this mission started in October. The dialogue to just actually get to the island lasted weeks. For fucks sake. Look back at the logs, and then pretend to care about efficiency.
>>189255>>189256>>189258Your character is not even present: you have nothing to roleplay. Stop shitting up the thread.
>>189259That has yet to be affirmed by GM. Are you GM? Maybe stfu
>>189215>>189213>>189191>>189188A cursory glance at Posey's OOC posts
As they say, what's good for the goose is good for the gander, innit?
>>189259Do I have to resort to handles? Are you seriously begrudging me for trying to at least apologize to "anon with the snek"? No, not you Silver, I mean anon who made the snek. Its complicated.
But yes, I'm not gonna apologize for taking the opportunity to make peace with him, even if it's only tenative. I would do the same with/for you if I thought there was receptivity. I have been trying for half a year to try and mend all the bridges, but if you want them sundered, good to know
Go on, quote my posts and bitch about >ooc
>>189225Cavaliere whistles.
"Look over there, in the water."Let's be nice to each other.
Everyone:
Tries to do questBrie:
“I’m leaving!”
Everyone:
“Okay”
continues questBrie:
Storms back into room “Hey everyone I’m leaving! Why won’t you see me leaving?”
>>189258>>189260See
>>189197>>189266Posey prances after Cavalier
"Did you find it?"
>>189267You couild LET him leave. You know, acknowledge what I posted. You've had months
>>189268Cavaliere points to the gloomy waves.
"Not sure, but I would wager there is something of interest in the water over there." >>189225>>189266>>189270Kira comes over to investigate the whale skull after depositing the bones she collected over near the ribcage. "I feel kinda bad for the poor thing. I know it's long dead, and carnivores both on land and in water still need to eat, but whales are very intelligent and peaceful animals. It's sad to see one that perished like this. It never asked for this..."
>>189264For what it's worth, I do think it's commendable that you're making sure everything between you and Dust's player is good. I'm a little confused though, he actually didn't have anything to do with Kira's creation. I came up with the idea for Kira, and GM pone and I worked together to come up with the lore about how lamias work and what their civilization and society is like. >>189271I betrayed Dust's player's confidence once. He drew a line, and I crossed it. And fwiw, it was retarded, cuz I didnt know what I was talking about at the time. Kind of like now, except at the time I wastrying to blow shit up, whereas now I'm trying to mend the damage. I dont expect reception or acceptance, I just want it not left unsaid, especially if I'm to leave y'all to play without interference
>>189272Bro, shut the fuck up. We have a separate thread for this.
>>189270"Oh... Seawater..." Posey says, stopping just at the edge of the waves, prancing hesitantly
>>189271Kira still has Endure Elements up, right? Can she swim to it?
"Kira, can you go see if the skull is there?"
>>189252Oi, one of those posts does declare an action for Dust, but yes yes I've gotten to wishy washy, whatever. Come put me in the ground yourself.
Also is everyone really going to the bones? I'm trying to postpone Dust seeing necromancy for as long as possible since we didn't come to another satisfactory truce.
>>189274I thought we were going to go pick up the airponies first, but Silver wanted to do this instead and I am not going to spend another month arguing about it.
Sorry.
>>189274Yes apparently.
I can see absolutely no justification for it besides “We’re doing necromancy now.”
If Dust wants to take a few NPCs and run off though, he can.
>>189273>bro shut the fuck up110% no you
If theres a problem with the tone you have painstakingly cultivated, check the mirror. Meanwhile, I appreciate that my character is a cause of friction, and rather than insisting on being the main character like SOME people, Im trying to relegate him so you can do your 'thing'
>>189273>>189274Kira looks at Posey surprised, offering her an "Oh, okay" before wading into the water to get to the skull.
Silver meanwhile, takes Posey on the shoulder. "You should really talk with Dust about what we are about to do, see if you can soothe some of his fears and work something out with him."
>>189278Darling. Bro. Brie’s already left the group. This is a settled issue. You’ve said this already. I said “everyone declare an action.” You said “Brie leaves.” I said “K” and moved on with everyone else. It’s done. What do you want?
poofBrie has left apparently.
Okay. There. It’s a done a second time. Everyone, look and see how not there Brie is.
Now we’re moving on.
>>189279>>189266No, you can’t really see it. It’s just water.
But then the trough of a wave moves over the shallow water near the pier, and a massive yet of yellow-tinged bone can be seen.
>>189280"Ooh! That will do..."
Posey grips the bone with her magic and begins to drag it towards the beat
>>189280>I said KDid you now? Lets look.
>>189267If this was your "k" then it domes across as contempt. Small wonder I want out of this game.
Is there another post that I'm missing, or are you as inconsistent as I have come to recognize you as?
>>189281It’s not exactly the size of a basket of apples.
>>189283Posey can drag up to 1950 pounds, or half as much under poor circumstances.
"Hrrrrhk..! A little help here." she groans as she exerts herself
We'll say Dust is still a decent ways off to the side, checking on Pipette, making sure she doesn't have a fever and her pupils are dialating normally. Typical medical stuff.
>>189284Kira continues to wade out into the water, wrapping her tail around the skull and pulling with all of her might towards the shore. Silver helps using his magic to try to lighten the load, as he again speaks to Posey. "I am serious though, you should talk with Dust about what you are about to do. I am not sure he will be most pleased with this plan."
>>189280>>189282Cavaliere ties some rope into a lasso and tries to hook onto part of the whale skull.
[1d20+9 = (15+9) = 24] >>189284>Can lift a car with telekinesis magicNo.
And that’s not what the word “drag” means.
>>189285She’s… She’s right there. Actually she’d probably scare Dust a little, standing only a few feet away and looking at Dust. Her tail wags twice when he makes eye contact.
She’s obviously tired, and her eyes are… well they could be worse, but her pupils are more narrow than normal.
>>189286A Blue whale skull is 18 feet in length. I don’t think you understand how big it is.
>>189287Now we’re getting somewhere
>>189288Hmmm...perhaps a Strength roll then from Kira and Silver?
Kira:
[1d20+3 = (20+3) = 23]Silver:
[1d20+3 = (9+3) = 12] >>189289And the griffon helps with pulling the old bone.
[1d20 = 5] >>189288He feels her forehead with the back of his hoof. Is she hot? Cold? Normal?
>>189288What if I used a rope? Could I drag it then?
>>189292As a single little pony, no.
But though a single stick may snap in two, sticks in a bundle hold strong. Together as one mighty faggot, you all may overcome.
>>189291Dust quickly notices a major problem. There’s a decent sized, cone-shaped, velvet-covered protrusion growing directly out of her forehead. Is that caused by the Traveller mutating ponies?
Wait. That’s just a thing that ponies have. Or some of them. Why don’t all of them have it? Anyways it doesn’t matter. But touching that part of the forehead is a no-go. So… above that is covered in tin foil. Can’t move that, she’ll freak out. Maybe place the hoof on her cheek? No, she might get the wrong idea. So… touch immediately above the eyes? Maybe the top of the muzzle? Uh… sure.
She feels… normal? Maybe a little warm? She isn’t dead, anyways.
>>189289Kira is able to move the thing out of the sand.
>>189292That would work better
>>189295>>189292While Kira is able to move the heavy skull, she would definitely appreciate some help.
Also, Posey, please give me any indication at all that you actually saw Silver telling her she should go speak to Dust, preferably before she actually raises the Bone Lurker? Pardon, I fell asleep
>>189296Posey helps Kira
I am willing to speak to Dust. Is Dust present at the moment?
>>189274"Dust, a moment, if you will." Posey says
>>189301It's fine poner, only one player gets punished for falling asleep, and it isnt you
>>189296>>189274Posey approaches Dust and pulls him aside to speak to him privately
"Dust... I have a feeling that you know what I am about to do with this scroll." She says, brandishing the black, bone-decorated scroll, the onyx gems inside it rattling inside the bone centerpiece.
"I can fool around with the other ponies by dressing it up with fancy Arcane buzzwords like 'conjuring a spiritual ally' or 'waking the beast to combat the forces of Dagon, but I know that a Zegro of faith like you would not be fooled by such language. While Silver has grown quite enthusiastic by the way I delivered it, I suspect you might be less than comfortable with your suspicions, so I will be frank with you. This scroll, that my old master bestowed upon me, is a scroll to animate the dead, and I intend to use it on the bones of that leviathan over there." she says, pointing in the directions of the bones
"Perhaps you might be familiar with the concept of a Bone Lurker: a mindless, flying amalgam of shambling bones; that will be the product of this spell. I intend to use it as a minion to counter the monsters that the Traveller conjures, to carry that explosive, and potentially use it as a mount to flee this island should things turn sour." she continues
"It is likely that what I am about to may conflict your spiritual beliefs. Silver seems convinced with this maneuver is essential, but we could be persuaded to reconsider... Knowing this information, what do you intend to do?"
