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

>>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
>>22425*cough* this.*cough*
>>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
>>22431>>22435whats the battleplan?
>>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
>>22438>>22434"lets go save jack!!"
>>22434>the party can't decide on this shitTorc is going to find the money
"Grab hold then," she says holding out her arms.
>>22440I like your initiative
>>22441Holds?
>>22441"Ummm.." *reaches out hoof*
>>22444ill kill you one day
>>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.
>>22451It's true though. It's in the charts.She needs some kind of ulterior motivation to get her to look for shekels: she doesn't care about money.
>>22452*sobs because falling*
*summons uatchit*
>>22454Jesus, the motivation is that the Party is helping the townsfolk>>22452Um... Is Thez going to stop us?
>>22456>>22452Yeah... CALL FAE
>>22455casts airwalk on thez
>>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.
>>22459Why is she not willing to pair off with Flashy then?
>>22463Get on her back before you die.
>>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!"
>>22473[excited hoers noises]
Pls make the trolls stark white, like 9gag memes.
>>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
>>22480By the way, I think you made a good choice. thank you and good job
>>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
>>22482Uuhhh, thanks you too?
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.

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?
>>22509Yes, not LOTR trolls
>>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."
>>22517>>22512I should probably go help with the stolen goods, but damn it if Tracy runs off with that stallion after the battle, I'm running off with a mare
>>22518i ask ben what hes on about
>>22520"Oy, it wasn't me freunlewen!" Ben blurts. "I dunno, I didn't do anything wrong!"
>>22521JA WIRKLICH? why so tense ben?
>>22522Because he's a jew who just lost all the money. Roll a sense motive if you're in doubt.
>>22522GM, can I confirm that 1. Charm potions exist and 2. That I slipped one off of Torcuil during a fight? Is the one who consumes it the one who is charmed?
>>22525he did. i remember the fight.
[1d20 = 3]>>22523I have a +23 on sense motive, so I'm going to roll on Ben just because I can
SENSE MOTIVE
>>22525"Charm Person" re the potion/spell, yes. Also yes, they who drink potion r spelled toward the "1st influemce"
>>22527He's for real. He thought the cash was safe,"
"It was a team," Torcuil says.
>>22529By the way, I do all of the stuff in
>>22516I guess that means tell Adam the loggers are safe, and tell Slovenia I can give her wood if she wants it
>>22531I want to hold at this moment, see what Tracy does before deciding how to proceed
>>22531>>22532See if she chooses to go to the vault with me or if she ignores me and runs off after that stallion. Again
Its to the point where if I sleep now I'll get 5 hrs, so I'm gonna sleep now.
The trolls were am opportunity to creatively and visually murder some shit. Also I was gonna throw weak memes (and maybe some board-specific though not explicit trolling. The party strategized in a waythat was effective neypnd the dice. Victory was assured. At the same time Port Barry was getting jacked, in a way that was unavoidable given the existing securty measures of the vault The only place that might have been safe is the tower treasury.
The method of theft is unknown, but did involve magic.
The party is still well-paid, but the port is broke.
>>22534GM, if Fae is sent alone after Ponimaru, what is the chance of success? She has Track as a feat and +4 racial modifier on search and listen checks. She eats those kinds of things right?
Also, does her Command work on horses or just Dragonnes and perhaps dragon like creatures?
>>22535Tl;dr
https://youtu.be/dYZq_DlRBHQThe trolls r kill. Ponimaru played a notable job in the death of the trolls and Tracy learns that he can throw 8 kunai per round (she only gets 4!) but his accuracy sucls.
>>22535Yes, she has a favorable (75%) chance of tracking Ponimaru.
Locating him however is <50%
>>22536You have very good taste in Music
>That rat bastard has the audacity to show himself in the openATTACK! ATTACK! ATTACK! And now a fourth attack, because I'm level 16, so ATTACK! Plus Dragonne pounce
>>22537>He can hideHis cover is flammable, damn it!
>>22539Wait, ur seriously attacking him?
>>22540Tracy was asked to accompany her Flashy on a mission where her skills would be useful. And she agreed. But then she reneged and ignored him. Why? She decided she'd rather go see a certain Stallion. Well she needs to learn her lesson somehow.
Why not? Is murdering possible romantic competitors in front of witnesses not within the Paladin code of conduct or something?
>>22540>>22541I can just go after the Unicorn instead
[1d20 = 6]>>22539GRAPPLE trump
>>22543Why you betray me too Inferius? Can't you see I've been betrayed enough today?
*Sad Trump noises*
>Fug @_@'
Well, I'm back on my normal schedule, so I'll be around all afternoon with no distractions, giving details to what Torcuil discovered from his investigation as well as what Ponimaru learned about the Trolls and the situation in the forest, and whatever else is in progress/development.
>>22545Trumpaladin wakes up, still heart broken, tired, and having overshot the time he intended to wake up, and wonders what the actual fuck was his state of mind earlier
"Why you do this shit sober?"
>>22545>>22546Wait, wait, got a question for Ponimaru before leaving the scene
Trumpaladin spends what seems to be an inordinate amount of time giving death glares at Ponimaru, but eventually approaches, not really breaking eye contact as he does this:
"Do not trust the Blue One. However much you want to believe that she is different from the last time she fucked you over, however much you want to tell yourself 'its not the same as it was the last time,' she's the same as she has always ever been. Do not trust her as it will only harm you... I learned this the hard way.
I have one question for you about the trolls, just one: based upon your knowledge and experience with trolls, is the incursion that occurred here out of the ordinary, as if caused by some outside force not formerly present, or is this an ordinary troll attack?"
I'm going to be at work all day. For the moment, has anything changed since last night?
>>22458Trolls are all kill and it turned out the better choice was the missing money.
My paper is turned in (late) but I still have other things I need to do
>tfw you want to die but you can't because you haven't done all of your work yet
>>22545Hi, I'm here
What did Torc find out last night? I passsed the fuck out.
>>22549>trolls are killAww.. I wanted to have some fun with them...
>Gotta get back to work
>>22546>>22544"me do right thing you no kill ponimaru"
>>22552*crying paladin noises*
"But Tracy chose him over me..."
>>22553>>22552What the hell did I miss?
>>22553"that not his fault, you should chastise tracy instead of trying to murder a horse whose only crime is helping us fight the trolls."
>>22555"What can be done about Tracy? She's unchastizable. But if she loses Ponimaru, then she'll learn"
>>22555>wastedWHO WANTS STEAK?
>>22556"theres always a way to punish someone without murdering horse."
[1d20 = 13]>>22557cupcheck
>>22558"And what is that way exactly?"
>>22560"prision."
or faking you death.
>>22559Fuck off
>>22560Chastity dvices
>>22561"That sounds... Very difficult to accomplish"
>>22562"Now that could work. Could you make a magical one?"
I think a cup could have really helped Torcuil in an important scene a few nights ago
>>22563"we have magic to help"
>>22563Go die in a holeRmember only quotes when Torc is speaking. He isn't even close to you faggots. But he could, when everyoe rejoins
>>22565Oh that's right. They are not together
>>22564"We need to do
something. Do you know of any helpful magic? We could also take some of her items"
>>22567Ponimaru is a horse obtained from Port Barry who Tracy killed when she killed all the horses in the stable. Ponimaru deserved it, but was revived because GM said do. He's supposed to be like a ninja or something, and can do some stealth things. Thez and Ben have been using him mostly as a messenger. Tracy's faggot wants him as a trick pony\r
>>22568Is aagically gelding him an option?
>>22565im at bens so i am.
>>22569My guess is yes, but would that really puss off Tracy's faggot? If he could be scared away or teleported to where Tracy couldn't get him, that would work wells]
>>22566"torc knows hold person."
>>22569>>22571im not letting you faggots do anything to ponimaru
>>22573Now why the hell not? It's a horse. Not a person. And not a horse any of us own.
Now we could swipe items from Tracy instead
>>22577Oh whatever. Help me do something to Tracy
>>22577So does Bill Clinton, would you be opposed to us cutting his balls off?
>On way home from work
>Trump's faggot is trying to steal my yandere gig
Oh stop it you. If I can figure out the math to stop her from killing Fae (who you insisted on riding instead of Tracy), you can play a rational human being. Wait until I get done before y'all start acting like idiots.
Anyway, the first thing Tracy would've done upon seeing Ponimaru would be give him brutal, "friendly" Indian sunburns, for running off by himself, and ask him if he's been practicing with his soccer ball.
Also, skin the Trolls and bottle their fluids. Their hides, bones and tissue will make for good upgrades to her spooky armor.
>>22581>I can't be YandereWrong. I can do it better than you can
>being mean to PonimaryWrong. Also my thing
>Doing bizarre shit to trollsBurning them
>Math to stop her from killing Fae (who you insistent on riding instead of Tracy)It's taken the intervention of Inferius to prevent Trumpaladin from killing Ponimaru (who you insisted on going to see instead of Trumpaladin)
>>22581>>22582You need to go investigate the crime scene, mrs. "spot check"
>>22583Trumpaladin came too, so what's the issue?
Also, I really wish we could've had that troll fight in session...
>>22585Because it fucked up the plan! Tracy would have been more useful at the crime scene, which was the real incident, and not the troll fight
>>22579yea but bill is a rapist ponimaru is not.
>>22587I think Torcuil taking Ponimaru as a sort of pet or assistant would be a neat idea
>>22588
NO! Don't be friendly to the fucker
>>22583>Burning themShe's a seasoned body-snatcher: she already hauled off the remains earlier; which is when she didn't react when Trumpaladin was attacking Ponimaru.
>>22586Troll fight sounded like a lot of fun though.. Tracy is a professional troll-slayer, and I wanted to try a Sneak-attack, ride-by, cleaving combo...
Did the trolls drop any inorganic items? Any clubs, tridents or magnets?
>>22591If flashy asks her to accompany her, she says yes. Imagine if he were raped by some mare while she was away?
>>22592Tracy became confident in his ability to not get >raped after she, the queen of >Rapists, failed to >rape him (I marked it off of the "Worries" list: it's no longer a concern factor).
Posts keep disappearing and changing order, is there a bug or something?
>>22543>>22542the only reason i did that is because murder is wrong AND illegal...
\r
>>22601Y those posts though? I don't see any wrongthink there.
>>22602hes jealous of you running of with ponimaru.
>>22603>running of withIsn't the group still together atm? Tracy only disappeared momentarily to process the troll parts (while I was at work).
Oh shit, g2g. I'll resolve this autism later.
>>22604that seems terrible.
>>22605im at bens with torc i dunno where you are.
>>22605Trump and Inferius returned to the Tower, to show off to Adam and Slovenia their work in rescuing the lumber crew (and the lumber) and to ask Ben an Torcuil about the heist. Inferius even interrogated a jew
>>22608ben and torc where in the tower?
>>22610where is port barrys money kept?
>>22611It was never explicitly stated, but I got the impression it was in Ben's building
>>22612we should construct a town hall and appoint sechs mayor. that way when we move to the capital we know port barry is in good hands.
>>22612yea that was the impression i got too.
>>22613That hasn't happened already?
>>22615not technically i don't think.
>>22615>>22613how much autonomy do we want port barry to have?
>>22613>when we move to the capitalI love that line of thinking, although we could perhaps move the capital of all lands to Port Barry
>>22616I kind of feel like I said "build a town hall" at some point, and Sechs has got to be some sort of official leader, but sure, we can do that
>>22617As much as we can give it while it still does everything we want, which is a pretty decent amount
>>22618>move capital to port barryi like this idea.
>As much as we can give it while it still does everything we wantthat"s a lot.
Wait, where are all ofd the characters atm?
I don't have much time for this...
>>22620Mine: THe Tower
Inferius: With Ben
Torcuil: with ben
Yours: Who knows
>>22618>>22619Idk, shouldn't a capital of a country be further inland, normally? It'd be better to check out surrounding areas first, and then see what territories want their own autonomy, unless the plan is to just conquer everyone.
>>22621What's he doing at the tower?
>>22619>>22619It's easy with Port Barry because they are enchanted with us. They do pretty much anything we want just by being asked. Where it will be difficult is when we expand into different cities. A lot of them will probably have civilian populations that feel they are being oppressed and so might respond to having their government overthrown as being liberated. But I don't know. In general, the less direct control we take, the easier it will be to claim we have good intentions
>>22622>Capital be further inlandWell, here's the thing. I personally believe the ability to move by ship is insanely useful, especially on a map split into multiple continents
>see what territories want autonomyI'd assume autonomy is the default and most of them want it. I'd rather conquer the Court City, and then see which territories want military protection, or at least trade relations
>Why at the towerTo tell Adam we retrieved his men and to give wood to Slovenia. That, and I assumed Ben and Torcuil were at the tower, but I honestly do not know
\r
>>22624>the Court CityIt's highly likely that the court city may not have the same centralizing function now that the nerd who bullied everyone out of their lunch money is gone. Keep that in mind.
>To tell Adam we retrieved his men and to give wood to Slovenia.Tracy would've followed back that way then.
>>22622>conquer everyone.good idea.
>>22626>Court City would not be as effectiveYeah, I think it wouldn't be either. But look at it this way. The court city used to control the entire planet. If just ten percent of the cities still want a suzerain, then that means if we take the court city, then we have the court city, those two cities, and a Casus Belli to conquer whoever is attacking the cities we take as protectorates
>Tracy would have followedIf she's being cooperative, then Trumpaladin would have cut it short with Adam, and then taken her to the Crime scene since she's obviously the best character to look for clues and he doesn't have to fuck Slovenia to get back at her for ditching
>>22627I love this idea too
