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.

>>21161In what circumstances is the skill useful/necessary?
>>21161Uh, survival situations. Building rudimentary shelters, filtering water, etc.
https://mlpol.net/mlpol/res/88384.html#q88384 >>21164Survival is an untrained skill, so one's ingenuity, intelligence, and other factors can allow one to survive without ranking in it, but then there's dudes like the Navy Seals,....
>>21165Right, well Thez eventually realized that the fellow she is beating on will probably die if she continues, so she stops. The other folks at the Fight Club seem a little bit taken aback by the scene, and as she drops the guy she turns her head toward Infernius.
That is what I was typing when I was called away for a moment.
>>21168i walk over to thez with the belt visible in my left hand and raise her left hand with my right and say "thez champion of fight club!"
then i help put on the belt. then i whisper "you like my surprise?"
>>21169She looks down. "Its very shiny,... but everyone knows I'm the champion. I don't need a belt to make
that official," she says fishing the stick out of her bracelet. "What's the occasion?" she says, poking the poor sap on the floor, her face erupting in bruises and swelling, almost comically.
It takes a check of 20 to pickpocket a "small object" with Sleight of Hand, but what counts as a small object in that this case?
Also, Thez did take back Bob, right?
>>21171"no occasion me just like giving gifts to my waifu."
*heals moderate wounds on the guy she was fighting*
>>21172Yes on the d20 (rolled against the target's spot check), and Bob has been milling about the Tower since the Kefka fight.
>>21174So, anything smaller than a sword?
>>21176Depends on one's skill. A highly skilled thief could lift a sword off someone without them noticing, but in general, hand-sized objects are the norm.
Would it be beyond Tracy's abilities to craft and use a hand crossbow? I've intentionally only been allowing her to use knives to avoid bringing up her lack of thumbs; but I think some range would be beneficial, since I already spent all those points on Dex.
>>21178That's actually a pretty good idea. Are you sure a hand crossbow is better than a light crossbow?
Also, question about Tracy. Does she have any uncertainty as to the existence of the betrothal? What about Trumpaladin's commitment? (Just how delusional is she?)
>>21180could she fire it with her tounge?
>>21180Slovenia could operate a crossbow with telekinetics right?
>>21181Don't YOU be worried about calling OTHER players out for foolish decisions now
>>21182Theoretically, yes
>>21180But she could operate a two handed crossbow right? If there is no trigger-guard, it's just a matter of holding it up with one hoof, and squeezing the lever by applying pressure with the other hoof
>>21179>Does she have any uncertainty as to the existence of the betrothal?She believes they're already married, but "only legally", due to the lack of a ceremony.
>Trumpaladin's commitment?Short answer, yes. I've been crunching numbers to keep her from losing her cookies.
>>21183Could she operate one with Kefka's mummified Mage Hand?
>>21185That's kind of a big weapon though...
>>21186You're welcome to try it
>>21184Please understand, all these "Can I", "Should I" questions are way to meta for my taste. As a GM, I really shouldn't be giving "Yes, no" answers. If players want to test their ability to do things, they should try doing the things and see the results.
>>21187its all good man no worries.
>>21188Case in point. If Tracy's faggot wants to explore the possibility of using a crossbow, the correct course is to acquire a crossbow and test it on any of the readily available dummies, one of which has a decaying Korak strapped to it, rather than just 'asking'.
As for the dialogue:
She looks down at the belt. "You had Ben make a custom belt for me for no particular occasion?" she raises her eyebrow, but doesn't press the issue. "Thank you."
>>21190"it cause me love you and me think it go good with eyes"
>>21191"My eyes? Oh? And have you noticed that they changed as well as my appearance?" Upon her mention, Infernius notices that they're no longer red, they're a deep jasper color
>>21187Okay then. No problem with that. Thanks for making that clear; I was operating under the impression that asking about meta first was the go-to, and that the opposite was annoying. I'm fine by just trying stuff.
Tracy, still in Lenos's workshop, assembles the materials she needs to craft herself a pony-sized crossbow, and sets herself on constructing it (I imagine this would take a while with hooves, but I'll just skip forward, if possible).
Upon making a weapon similar to the ones she saw in the Library's books, minus the trigger guard, she decides to test it by taking as 20-30 steps back (idk how big the room is), and attempts to fire fiddle with the trigger and fire a shot at Korak's dried-out carcass.
>>21195>>21193I was going to rape Tracy after
>>21175, but if this is what she's doing now, okay
[1d100 = 74]
The crossbow seems serviceable enough, at least per the diagrams. Upon levelling it and firing, Tracy discovers that it is an awkward weapon for hooves, and as it fires it flies out of her hands
... and shoots her in the leg.
Its almost as though, despite comprehending how a crossbow works, Tracy has no experience with a dangerous object such as a crossbow, and could very easily hurt herself if she is not careful,... like so. And this under calm and collected circumstances.
>>21196You can't >rape the willing.
>>21198>Ouch![shrieking pony noises]
>>21200>>21198Actually, fuck it.
Approach Tracy.
Remove arrow.
Cure moderate wounds on Tracy's leg.
Then Grapple Tracy
Then force Tracy down and fuck her
She actually gets the chance to look into his eyes as the essence is transferred this time...
>>21199"..This is why I don't do range..!" Tracy mutters as she painfully limps over to the entertron.
Tl;dr Tracy should be careful about branching out into 'new' weapons
>>21203Kek
>>21204Poor Pony
For how many of Korak's men were samples recovered?
>>21206That depends on how many samples were recovered from. All of them?
>>21207All would have been attempted, during the fight, and the next day
Maybe just a longbow would be better.. Pony's could fire those in Marks and Recreation, and she's proficient in that as a Blackguard. I mostly just want the hand crossbow because it could be concealed, like in pic #2. Yeah, I'll go for trying out a longbow next.
But for now, she's still on the ground while I get to do more math.
>>21192"your eyes put anything else me ever see to shame with their beauty."
>>21208Then all of them. About 2 dozen, since I know what you're asking without asking the right question. Xp
>>21209There is no way a pony could operate a crossbow like that without being a unicorn. Longbow would be best.
>>21210"Hearing you say that is more precious to me than any gift you could give me," she says unabashedly and emphatically.
>>21209>Fucking her has emotional consequencesREEEEEEEE!!! You implied in >>21186 that she's already so crazy she can be treated as a possession without her inferring that Trumpaladin thinks of her as hers - because she already thinks that.Cure moderate wounds. She could probably force kisses or eye contact from her position.
>>21211Uh... yeah, the number of samples would probably be the correct question.
>>21211"hey thez uh you done here? me have something else me want to "give" to you"
*smiles a smug toothy smile*
>>21211>just a little bit works... What about the piece of the Terrasque's stomach tissue that Tracy got? I'm not about to do anything stupid, but still..
>>21212>implying implicationsI din't say any of that. The consequences aren't destructive, so chill.
>she could probably*kisses*
>>21213"Sure, if you don't mind waiting a bit. I have to deliver some supplies to my,... contact, to do with the financial situation with Ben. It shouldn't take long, just an errand or two," she smiles.
>>21214You did fukkin' what? Where did you put it
exactly?
>>21214*Kisses back, while rubbing adorable blue fur*
>the piece of the Terrasque's stomach tissue that Tracy gotHey! Putting DNA of killed enemies into the Entertron and seeing what could possibly go wrong is my idea
>>21215Um... What would the starting attitude of revived pirates be? Hostile? Unfriendly? Indifferent?
>>21215"alright me be in forge"
i go to the forge ans see if lennos can help me make a sun blade.
>>21217"Oh,... okay. I'll see you later then," she says.
>>21214*After Trumpaladin finishes in Tracy*
"Hey Tracy, you want to help intimitdate the fuck out of some people? Or kill them if they remain hostile?"
>>21218Um... do I get extra advantages from a second player doing an intimidation check after a diplomacy check? Can two separate players attempt a diplomacy check?
>>21219"come get me when you get back ill finish the sword afterwords"
*winks*
Meanwhile at the forge.
"A Sun Blade. A SUN blade? Yeah, I could help you make one, you got a week or so to work on the thing, almost exclusively? Are you willing to cough up enough experience to do it?"
>>21222"the trip is postponed until its finished."
Lenos wanders over to the entrance with his can of paint, and writes a sign above the door.
"Crafting magical anything is NOT like braiding hair. It can't be done in an instant, and should not be treated with the same degree of informality as a passing interest or hobby"
>>21215Let me backtrack a bit...
She had a couple chunks of it in her mouth, and then she would've put one of them in the bag and/or left some of the pieces to dry-out in the >rape dungeon. When I said, "tissue sample" in that thread, I guess it would've been implied that it was in a jar of some sort. That discounts the bits she swallowed in her frenzy . The same thing goes for the rest of Soros's intestines.
I thought I said this in the boss fight's thread. I just didn't bother bringing it up again since I got a no-go on monster mutagens, but I thought they might be useful for some other kind of alchemy (was pretty disappointed when the whole carcass turned into a football, desu. Would've made sweet armor).
tl;dr: scrap in a jar in the bag, other pieces turning into jerky in the dungeon.
>>21225Let me know when Tracy ventures back to her >rape dungeon. The scrap in the bag has decayed into a putrid slime.
>>21223Lenos mutters "Oh NOW the trip is postponed," then directly, "The first thing you will need is a masterwork Bastard sword. I don't suppose you happen to have one lying around?"
>>21226>The scrap in the bag has decayed into a putrid slime>mfwI guess I'd better address whatever that dungeon issue is pretty soon.. You reap what you sow.
>>21220Let me figure out whateverthefuck I have to deal with in the dungeon first.>>21227I don't have the capacity to deal with Tracy responding with Trumpaladin returning home with Slovenia in the morning, so I guess I'll just go dungeoneering and deal with what's waiting for Tracy in her hideout as soon as I can.
>>21230it not good to suppress your issues -dokter infernuis MNO
>>21227Fuck it. I'm'a do this thing.
Go to Entertron area, taking the samples. Clear the area of any weapons or armor except those on my person. Place a single sample of Pirate DNA in the Entertron and order to revive. Prepare to sense motive.
Note that I should have I think a +29 modifier on my Diplomacy checks and a +23 on sense motive checks. Sword is not drawn out.
The Bees are drawn out and would be visible.
>>21230Um... Okay. I guess I will do a test run in the meantime. You may get more prisoners for your dungeon.
Does Tracy know that he returned with Slovenia?
I had Trumpaladin say "it's been several days" as a way of him clearly alleging to her that he had not had sex with anyone since the night in the apartment.\r
>>21229"No? I thought not. Well, I DO, two of them in fact, but they're just raw blades. You can take the time to forge the hilt, pommel, grip etc. yourself, or you can take them to the Port and have them made."
>>21230The >rape dungeon has been torn asunder, with several holes burrowed this way and that. Additionally, a tunnel has been burrowed through to the ant lair, which is strewn with ant pieces, parts, and giblets.
>>21232The pirate - now reconstituted (and completely naked) - immediately looks around with a panicked expression. He doesn't comprehend his surroundings and starts banging on the glass.
>>21227She stores her stuff in some of the cambers, so it makes sense she'd go there to pick-up her materials and drop off other things. The tissue strips would've been in the processing chamber on metal hooks, surrounded by animal bones and other dried biproducts. None of the rooms have doors or windows of any kind.
Tracy fills her bag with the kinds of stuff that she would bring to her dungeon (materials, supplies, tools, groceries) and heads off.
>>21232>Does Tracy know that he returned with Slovenia?Idk about her. My original intention was to have Tracy meet with her daily, but then time passed as i didn't realize what was going on…
Like I said, dealing with whateverthefuck, is going on with thedungeon is easier than trying to figure out character-character relationships with this level of temporal inconsistency.
>it's been several daysThere's no way your character would've spent several days in the woods, without her coming after you.
>>21234"alright me guessing the second one for you? me forge them."
>>21221did thez see this?
>>21234>The >rape dungeon has been torn asunder, with several holes burrowed this way and that.REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE ANY DOORS OR HALLWAYS!
Tracy is beside herself with rage and immediately puts her nose to the ground and follows the tunnel, intent on Tracking down whatever it is that ruined her special hideout, all senses flared as the travels down the path to detect any living being.
>>21233>several daysSeveral days since sex. By my estimation it is "Wednesday" when the apartment happened on Saturday night. He was in the forest maybe 10 hours.
pls bring restraints and chains from the dungeon when you leave. Your Flashy might need you to use them
>>21235Open door. Great individual with an article of clothing or rag or something to cover himself (probably should have thought of that).
"Hello, I am Trumpaladin, defender of Port Barry, but I am sure you know that already. A few days ago, you and a others under a party lead by Korak attempted to take a load of treasure belonging to the people of Port Barry and this tower belonging to my party. You were killed in the fighting, as was Korak. You can see here I have his ring shield.
You are alive now because the great god Elway has blessed this booth with the power of Resurrection, and because I believe in second chances. I saw how well you and your comrades served Korak. I was impressed by your devotion and organization. I believe these virtues could be of great use to society. There is no need to serve evil.
If you cooperate, you will have a second -maybe third? - chance at life, one more prosperous and happy than the one you lead before."
>>21238>She won't be helpingAww...
>>21238Odd, this smells an awful lot like the Terrasque,... that crazy magical beast which requires a wish to contain and which
only a damn fool would keep a sample of and leave it alone.
ahem>>21239You succeed in getting out the words "Hello, I am Trumpal..." before he claws his way past and frantically races from the infirmary.
>>21240Before? KEK!
>>21245"Inferius! Help me grapple this guy!"
>>21244*sniff sniff*
"..Awww, fuck..!" Tracy says, as she continues down the tunnel.
>>21247>>21249I'll spare you both the lengthy process of chasing him down, cornering him, and finally wrestling him to the ground.
"Let go of me! WHERE AM I?!?" the pirate screams, in a complete state of hysteria.
Now Trump can attempt to placate the poor sod.
>>21248Whatever could go wrong?
[1d20 = 9]>>21249"Grapple!"
Roll for my own grapple if Inferius didn't catch him
Lenos rolls himself a phatty. "Yep,... noobs."
[1d20 = 1]>>21250Now, attempt something like the speech in
>>21239, with more emphasis on answering his questions
Also sense motive. Is he just afraid?
>>21254Alright, forget about the sense motive check
>>21252The ant tunnels have been likewise torn asunder, and what were tight passages have been burrowed and expanded. As you continue further, you notice that the size of the passages gradually increases the further you progress. The whole ant lair is deathly silent.
>>21254>1Nah, he just needs some coffee is all, you're sure of it.
>>21255You want to try something on the pirate?
>>21256Oh no, that's not how it works. I reiterate,
you're (Trump is) sure of it >>21257"..Aw fuck! These bugs were the only ones who could repair my dungeon.."
Continues down the path carefully, sword drawn.
While we're at it, roll in the ant parts, so it can't detect her scent.
