Carrying on with the ongoing RP Game, since the last bread got extra-stale (GM really should get a bread-box). Characters are in development and progress, with a variety of tasks and agendas. Nothing is trying to eat anyone for the moment, so there's no pressure to GET IN, but who am I kidding? Stuff is always more or less happening.
Come on in, the water's fine.
No homo, can't forget that bit

>>22418"They have Trollestia. She's a damned fine tracker. We need to split our resources to be effective.
I will need your tracking skills"
\r
>>22419Unicorn has no Track feat.
And I demand that mudponies have at least some aspect of abilities to make them on par with unicorns >>22421She found Slovenia. Besides, they know where this is, and Orcs will go right up to Inferius. They don't need heavy tracking. The other group, MIGHT. Wait to hear what it is
I'll wait for GM's response before the characters go anywhere.
>>22421>not wanting to go with your waifuThis is why Tracy hasn't been proposed to
>>22425This. Pretty much perfectly explains it.
>>22379Sorry, it was business
"I had all the gold, the jewels, the priceless art pieces sealed in a vault! I went to make a deposit and the vault was empty! I don't know how this could have happened! My lock is impenetrable!" Ben says
>>22382He's also not that fluent in common
>>22428"If only we had an expert tracker in the party,"
Trumpaladin says sarcastically
Thez narrows her eyes. "Wut?" her eye twitches. "You LOST the money?? THAT is going to cost you," she says giving Ben the evil eye.
"I'm going for the lumberjack team. I on't know the location but I can anyone interested there,... quickly."
>>22428Actually, a Tracy-Torcuil pairing to find the jewels and a Trump-Inferius pairing to kill the trolls might work pretty well
>>22430"me torc and unicorn go find jack"
She continues to glare at Ben, "This is your mess, you knew the risks... that is,... um. We'll sort this out later, I'm sure we cam figure out a way to resolve the situation without resorting to violence."
I want to go find Ponimaru and fight trolls.
>>22435Finding Ponimaru is fighting the trolls
>>22434Alrighty then. I guess the entire team goes to fight the trolls
>>22435You have learned nothing and shall receive no proposal
>>22437The entire team goes for the Trolls now
>>22434>the party can't decide on this shitTorc is going to find the money
"Grab hold then," she says holding out her arms.
>>22441"Ummm.." *reaches out hoof*
>>22444"You have learned nothing about putting aside minor personal interests for the well functioning of the team."
>post>>22440>then see>>22438CAN WE DECIDE SOMETHING FOR ONCE
>>22441"No thanks, I'll stay with ben and find out the money problem."
And I mean Trump doesn't think Torc would be usefu so why go? Learn the hard way >>22448Tracy already told Ponimaru she would be his Nee-san. She can't let him get killed by someone else.
>>22449You'd be pretty useful in either location.
>>22450Yeah, bullshit. Strike 1
>>22449"Alright." she says, and everybody goes <whooof>
And finds themself falling from about 4000'.
"Oh shit! Not again,...." she can be heard to say as you all fall, seq quickly trails aftter.
>>22454Jesus, the motivation is that the Party is helping the townsfolk>>22452Um... Is Thez going to stop us?
>>22452"What the fu-!"
What's beneath them? How far is the fall?
*momentarily assumes monstrous shape, involuntarily*
>>22456She doesn't care about the town. She cares about creatures close to her. >>22452Glad I didn't have Torc go
>turns to Ben"Meet me out front, I'll be ready in a minute."
Torc goes to the stable, deciding he needs a Watson if he's going to play Shelock for this
>>22455"Whoops," Thez embarrassedly says as she whizzes past.
In between panic and the wind bustling by, players notice several large fires well into the distance of the forest, bonfires essentially.
>>22457A shiny-brass twinkle can be seen in the distance.
>>22458Um, you're out of range for that. In fact, Thez is the only one who isn't falling including you.
>>22458Rather, Thez is in a controlled dive/descent, there's a difference.
>>22461i summoned uatchit though.
>>22466Right, my bad. Ignore I said
>>22461Grapples nearby black horse thing and awaits
Fae's arrival
>>22467*surf boards towards bonfires*
>>22468"~Unf!"
*slows descent, with best of ability, stabilizing herself to allow her husband to get onto her saddle.*
>>22469*also carefully moves towards bonfire, making sure her husband is well-seated*
Alright! Everyone involved in the falling has successfully defeated instantaneous falling. That's a useful skill. Thez is now the one speeding toward the ground saying
"Well shit."
But she Whoofs back to party level, standing in mid-air. "Sorry about that, force of habit. But hey! There's where the trolls probably are!"
>>22471Troll is there waiting. "Ar we gonna make someone cry?"
>>22473>>22475Trumpaladin transfers over to his mount, so he can fight while mounted, when safe to do so
Infernius speeds of on Uatchit (the Egyptian goddess, btw). Thez speeds of close behind. Trump jumps over to Fae "I would have made it you know," and quickly follows behind.
>>22476>40 flight speedlol, You're right Tracy for at least a few minutes. Get comfy until the kitty finally shows up.
>>22477Aaaand it's gone...
Tracy, feeling lighter, but somehow heavier, slowly gallops towards the area of the bonfire.
>>22475"Maybe, someone took all of prt barry's money. Wanna help get it back?"
>>22477"I am sorry for doubting you even momentarily" Trumpaladin says to Fae, and takes out both ring shield and Vanderiem, ready to attack
>>22479Slowly? Not hardly. Thez is fastest 111, followed by Infernius 100 (Uatchit), followed by Tracy 90, followed by 30
Essentially what I just did there was allowed player reaction and accoutrements to determine initiative. Trump goes last.
T> Etherealness (monk ability) - And Thez vanishes
Infernius, you're up. You're about 3 rounds out at current speed.
>>22483+10 FOR PALADIN'S MOUNT, DAMN IT!
We need Sad Alex to give her a boost
>>22480"If there is any way I can help, I will do so. Shall I show you the crime scene?"
>>22483Tracy bottles up her frustration, and holds herself back from snorting out a cloud of smoke into the Dragonne (she
really wants to do it)
>>22489Well then she should have been more cooperative earlier now shouldn't she?
[1d20 = 20]>>22486activate burn then go in for a melee attack.
[2d20 = 20]>>22486Tracy observes the bonfire area from a distance
Rolling Spot + Search
>>22492Does she still get her Spot bonus in this form?
Trumpaladin sits back patiently waiting, wishing he had gone with Torcuil
I think I'll go to bed then...
Might check in later, if I'm awake...
im gonna go play oblivion.
>>22500>sighsSorry, I left you hanging. Again. I didn't mean/plan to, but I did step away. I neglected to mention, and that is also something that will emergently addressed. With a 20 roll, Infernius lead a grand charge, decimating the Trolls who spout all sorts of reddit-nonsense (seriously, they're
trolls. Unfortunately, despite the cheers of the lumberjacks, and the minimal experience that was gained, the trolls were a red herring.
What Torcuil discovers from trace but inspecific magic residue is that a coordinated effort was exerted on the vault, of a type unknown to him.
>>22500if i eat one of there hearts will i gain some degree of fast healing?
>>22501HE LIVES
>the trolls were a red herringAs in a distraction for the people who ran off with Port Barry's gold and possibly ours while we were here?
*Kills Ponimaru for giving bad information/letting his pidgeon be captured, and also because fuck Tracy*
Seriously, the trolls were literally going to say stupid troll-phrases; low-energy, stupid, and base insult not worth hearing. I was literally going to troll you with the trolls to see if anyone followed the money. Torquil did, so the party has a disadvantaged advantage.
Also note, the money in the treasury (the jew hoard) is untouched, whats missing pertains onlt to Ben'a/Thez' contract
>>22504My intent was to have half the party go for the trolls and half go for the money with the division based upon complementary skills, but (((someone))) refused this.
My action is to kill Ponimaru
>>22502Try it
>>22505Ponimaru gave good intel, it wasn't his fault that the situation wasn't as pressing as others. Not to be a dick, but I did allow the party the opportunity to escort the lumberjacks to site and thereby avoid this outcome,....
>>22505Torcuil fulfilled the requirement to determine that it was a group effort, orchestrated and deliberate. These were pros.
>>22506>I did allow the party the opportunity to escort the lumberjacks to site and thereby avoid this outcomeNo shit, I noticed.
>Ponimaru gave good intelI want to kill him out of salt over Tracy
>>22502If GM says "Try it" that means YOU BETTER NOT FUCKING TRY IT or you'll be turned into a newt
>>22506they are dnd trolls right?
>>22508Whatever do you mean? I would put it to a dice roll. No takebacks anymore.
Don't ask the dice anything you can't determine yourself, through combined effort, skill, patience, strategy, etc. Always stack the deck. Whether crafting magic shoes, or murdering useless shit. Otherwise, the dice can make your day/wreck your shop. Its stupid the degree of variance the dice allow for.
Each party member excels at something, let them do that first. Thez excels at murder, so if she says "I' gonna" then she's gonna. Good freefall practice tho.
>>22511>Dice rollThen Inferius DEFINITELY shouldn't do it
The only things that should be eaten are weeaboo horse flesh by Fae and Unicorn pussy by me
>>22512I've been saying this forever!
>>22510I collect all the troll hearts.
By the way GM, I never gave you proper credit for this line
>>20858 →>I am pleased to see you weren't eaten by the Blue oneFae has picked up on Trumpaladin's contempt for/way of speaking about Tracy. It's like a dog picking up on the master's emotions. It's adorable. I need to make more use of Fae
>>22515>>22510Um... I guess free the lumberjacks, shake their hands and try to take as much credit as possible, then set the wagons to take the wood back, ten go inform Adam that the lumberjacks are safe and inform Slovenia that I have secured the wood she needs (okay... with help)
>>22512after i get all the hearts i go to ben to see if he needs help.
>>22516Appreciated, but thats the
least of the double-entendres, refrences, and ironic jokes,
\\
>>22517As Infernius arrives, he hears Torcuil exclam:
"A team did this, this was coordinated."
