Game continuation bread, where the party gets ready to wander off into parts unknown, potentially in different directions or to different areas. More bantz to go on in the meantime, but last bread got stale so here's a fresh one.
New players welcome/encouraged.

>>20349me think your hair look beautiful ana"
>increases shitpost powers
>>20348 →Those are the spells that can be chosen from, but she's still limited by how many spells she is committed to. Meaning, if she chose feather fall and disguise self, she would not have access to the others. These choices are permanent until Assassin lvl 6.
>>20351She blushes. "Stahp," she says playfully hitting Infernius in the shoulder.
GM, should Torc ever commit to, say 2, magic schools? Or is it fine that he does what ever he wants?
Do the facilities at the tower accommodate ring-crafting?
>>20356"Me love you, me have to go into PB for something, you need me to pick anything up while me out?"
>>20357Meh, I'm coming from the school where mages didn't have to specify that kinda thing, so I'll say you're fine.
>>20358Basic ring crafting, or magic ring crafting?
>>20359"Hmmmm,... nah, I'm okay."
>>20360Okay
Can Torc find books on engineering in the library?
>>20358Just in the off chance you're talking about a wedding ring, and not a magic ring to boost its holder, then I'm going to recommend asking help from Lenos, who can craft a higher quality ring
>>20361To a limited degree of tech, yes. Trebuchets are listed, for example.
>>20362Characters can craft their own stuffs if they want, but Ben is the expert on jewelry and yes, Lenos is the resident expert on enchantments.
>>20360>Basic ring crafting, or magic ring crafting?Either.
How long can item-craft take?
>>20363As a magic creature too! Rawr!
>>20363Thats exatly what I was hoping.
Torc desides to read up on these technologies
>>20369>totally missed the significance of the ring Thez gave him, as well as the fact that she had his horn ground down to a ring that she's wearing."What can I help you with? I hope you're not some spoiled-brat special snowflake here to whine about your feelings," Ben says.
>>20365Not long, its a matter of melting down the base metal and then putting it into a mold. Maybe an hour.
>>20353Does an Assassin get any Spells per day?
Ben realizes its Infernius.
"Oh, its you, I'm finished with that belt you requested. I can't say I agree with the aesthetics, but it should fit over your existing equipment without encumbering or chafing."
>>20372Only one, and that because of bonus spell/day (for Int).
>>20373Hey ben can you size down that belt for me, it for a special friend. Also me want to know if there a rock more rarer than demonds.
By the way GM, can I get any sort of Sense motive check on Slovenia? Presumably they were in contact for long enough to get a sense of her.
Torc finishes writing down the things he needs to know and goes to the tower
>>20373Can I cast that bonus spell without committing to it? For now, more importantly, can they be used for crafts? I want to start mass-producing moar items.
>>20378Mass produce adamant weapons.
For those who may be joining us, let me briefly detail the purpose of these threads, so they don't all have to be read-through (there's alot).
The whole point to these threads is 1st - to provide a venue of entertainment, interaction, and what-the-hell else ever (read shit/fun-posting, bants, and general social interaction over a board which by its nature doesn't allow for literal interaction). ITT we play characters based on classic table-top roleplaying rules and systems, where players can express whatever degree of creativity they are inclined to express, in a world that is far more lax about what is 'possible' than the real world.
The practice of expressing and experiencing one's creativity is cathartic in a number of ways, as it allows the player to either explicitly or implicitly take steps against many of the obstacles that they may experience in real life, surrounded by friends and allies who are generally willing to be there for one another, even if they don't agree (which is often).
In between working with/beating-on one another, the group is presented with a variety of contexts and problems through which they are encouraged to creatively work around or circumvent, and ultimately defeat.
Individual players - GM most especially - come from a variety of real-world shitholes (as far as personal experiences and troubling pasts) and this allows the player to work through, processes, sort, and come to terms with said experiences in a more permissive environment than the real world provides. Most players spend a great deal of time on the site for varying reasons, and this gives them something to occupy themselves with while they're doing it. It is - in short - the best answer I can offer to continue to help mitigate the Black-pills which can result of both shitty life experiences and the disposition of consuming too many Red-pills.
So, if you're reading this "that one particular anon", feel free to lurk, read/back-read (again, there's lots) and get lost in this constantly progressing and developing world - a playground if you will - and if you ever feel inclined to participate I will be here several hours of every day to respond and accommodate to the best of my ability. ^_^
>>20379You help too: you're a spellcaster.
>>20374"Size,... down?" he grabs a sketch-pad. "Let me think."
>>20376She's jaded about/by humans (that would have been detailed in conversation), but responds well to sincerity and open-ness.
>>20378The more elusive you are with your questions, the more elusive I will be with my answers. Xp
>>20383What about artifact items, like the Rogue's Dice? Some other items don't show any prerequisites, but are still magical.
>>20380>TL;DRWe are a bunch of fucking nerds who use our imagination instead of playing video games together.
>>20381What do you want me to do?
>>20386Also there's voodoo-esque shit
>>20383Is there rock more rarer than diemonds?
>>20386Although i would love to vidya with you guys.
>>20389Lenos, Thez, maybe Tracy,... AFAIK only Trump is absent. Taylor may be lurking, as well as Nordfilly,
>>20383She keeps getting more and more adorable!
Definitely doing something with this when I don't have a paper to write
you've been warnedUm... What does she like?
>>20393>likesHugs, general (though not absolute) quiet, manners, and chamomile tea.
>>20387There are a lot of items that'd be useful to other party members, but require high-level divine spells. With the facilities of the tower, everyone could be buffed.
>>20395Get me a list of what the party wants and ill do my thing.
>>20395That's precisely what they're for. ^_~
>>20393Also, strong individuals who aren't looking to profit off her existence, or engaged in duplicitly ulterior motives.
Can Tracy still fly wearing heavy armor? She is Proficient in it.
Can anyone do wood work or does Torc have to go to port first?
>>20373When a spell is committed, how many times per day can it be used?
Infernuis's faggot is going to sleep
>no rape unless your name is ana
>>20396Tombs and Manuals are an incredible asset.
>>20394>Hugshttps://youtu.be/SNLJDR-XbVY>general quietThis is harder to work with (I need music)
>mannersVery good fit
>camomile teaInteresting
>>20397>strong individualsCheck
>who aren't looking to profit off of her existenceUnder usual definitions of "profit," I should be good
>duplicity in ulterior motivesBe upfront about ulterior motives, got it
By the way, GM, what is the biggest baddest monster in the forest and where can I kill one?
>>20398Encumbrance rules apply, but yes.
>>20399You'll find plenty of skilled wood-workers in port who will be happy to help, if you're looking for something masterwork.
>>20400At current level, 1/day
>>20401And I thought MY schedule was weird.
Like it'd be >rape. Besides, there are more reasons than combat that she wanted you to keep the str-buffs Xp Maybe taking a third prestige class wasn't such a good idea..
>>20407You'll want to check with the mill.
>>20408AFAIK, Tracy is l13 Rogue, l2 Blackguard, l1 Assassin, yes?
>>20412That's what was said last round.
>>20413K, just checking. I've been back-reading, but I wanted to make sure. Encumbrance has more to do with speed than anything, and with the quiver your equipment (stored) doesn't affect weight allowance. Heavy armor would diminish speed is all.
>>20405I'll get right on it. I should point out that there will be more random encounters moving forward.
>>20402I will limit those, otherwise that's hax.
>>20416Very importantly, it must be a creature that leaves behind bones, hide, scales, or some non-perishable part of the corpse as a trophy, and it must be killed and faced specifically by me
>>20418e_e Really? After all that? Convince me, 'cuz my gut says "Oh HELL no"
>>20409Okay.
I gtg for a while, see you faggots later
>>20417... Like a dragon? A dragon would be impressive; or better, a dracolich.
To put things in perspective (this would have been ascertainable by simple conversation and/or eavesdropping) upon the party's liberation from the rats, the city had new purpose and direction. With something to do other than fish and squander resources on the rats' inflated economic structure, the people took to the new initiatives with great zeal and interest. Craftsmen and technicians suddenly had worthwhile projects to direct their attention and skills toward, which only increased after the 2nd Soros fight (rebuilding and renovating). Additionally, they had an opportunity to see that in addition to community development, there was a need for individual development, which they also took to under the guidance and leadership of much of the party. The city now operates as something of an ancap nationalist community, both supporting and assisting one another and working for the betterment of the whole. Through these developments, trade and traffic increased, as the port had become viable and competitive once again, which brought more business, information, and travelers en route to other places. Additionally, the increasing wealth and prosperity brought people from outside the area who wished to take part in the developing community, rather than try and stake it out on their own. This will/is becoming more significant as the absence of the Nerd/Dog made it less risky for random monsters and things to venture out and not get eated by circumstantial exposure, which meant greater threat to outliers. So while the city develops and grows, so do the forces that would confront them, causing a greater unification of the city which only strengthens the community cohesive-ness.
>>20427To rephrase my questions earlier, did the townsfolk ever actually get a clear shot of Tracy in her Nightmare form, or did the Nightmare's smoke grant enough concealment to obscure her form?
>>20427Don't worry, I'm taking full advantage of this when I can get the time to write a speech
By the way... Uh... Anything else on Slovenia?
I'm just going to have her craft a Shatterspike for now, as a practice.
>>20426That can do. It needs to be something a single level 16 Paladin would have difficulty taking down, but would also not be killed by.
>lichToo powerful
>>20431>would also not be killed byWhere's the fun in that, Anon? Tension is part of the fun.
>>20432>funOh I'm not going off slaying monsters for fun, but the point is taken. It looks to me like pretty much any adult dragon is a match, perhaps more
>>20428They saw enough of Tracy to know it was Tracy. It will add to the rumors surrounding her as an assassin (too late to stop that shit) and/or force to be reckoned with.
>>20429Not at this time, I'll think of what I can
on top of everything else >_<>>20430Uh,... that's not an easy prospect by my estimation. To my understanding, a shatter-spike (which Sugoito is BTW) is particularly resource consumptive (adamantite particularly)
>>20432Kek
>>20433You do realize that encounters aren't supposed to be "to order"?
>>20433This ain't an encounter, this is a "damn it, I'm going to find something hard to kill and I'm going to kill it" sort of thing. I guess there's not really a way to guarantee that a dragon is an adult, for instance, versus a great wyrn or a wyrmling. (The difference is fatal I know). But there's got to be a way to go into a locale and yell "come out and fight!" Or at least see if there are any monsters (maybe human bandits) rumored to be operating anywhere.
GM, the mountains immediately to west of Port Barry, what climate classification are they?
>>20438The way I see it, a shatterspike is not a conventional magical item, in fact I have them (mind-canon) as a non-magical item of a specific composition (high-level metal-fabrication)
>>20440Wut? R u kidding? I know he's "Trump Good", but that's really pushing it.
>>20442I thought of it because it seemed to require the least magic to make..
>>20443Its listed as a magic weapon, but I'm taking creative license and have it as an exceptional type of masterwork weapon, requiring exceptional crafting skill rather than enchantment.
>>20444What kind of items could a mudpony learn to excel in making?
Also, idk if it was mentioned earlier, but can Korak's quickened sword allow for multiple sneak attacks in the same turn?
I've been asking a lot of questions today.. take your time...
>>20445Literally, not a whole lot. That whole lack of fingers puts a damper on one's crafting ability. Still, this is mixed nuts, so I'll concoct some parameters.
>>20446No. Double, simultaneous sneak attacks is the limit (both pistols for example).
>>20447Its fine. I encourage more questions, as one of the things I've been getting from those "Betterer GM videos" is on how to be more accomodating, involving, compelling, etc. Asking questions during the week is precisely what I prefer, cuz anytime I get a bunch of questions - especially those I can't answer right away - allows me to allot time during my vocational time (which, though labor-intensive is remarkably mentally permissive). I've got a white-board and everything so I can develop ideas and process/progress the desired elements.
In closing (literally, about to walk out the door) keep them coming. If I don't get to them more or less immediately that doesn't mean I won't, though a timely reminder is both appreciated and encouraged.
Any last thoughts, questions, requests, etc.? My main focus for today is "Crafts, monsters, City infrastructure (trade, development, economy), Citizen armies, Side-quests, NPC (Slovenia, +) development, Magic Item potentials, Inter-nation-state aspects (rumors, information), Evolving faction agendas, and Hugs.
That last one is more for me Xp >>20448>I encourage more questionsThat makes me feel better
>this is mixed nuts, so I'll concoct some parameters.If I get a perfect meme-tier ingredient, can I craft some limited magic items, like with Kefka's hands?
Or the Bull's Strength potions*Hugs* >>20442Tracy is an insanely difficult person to get gifts for. She's not going to be impressed by gold or gems
>>20449Got it. BTW, you kept Kefka's corpse yes?
>>20450I know just the thing,... but no spoilers
