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

>>21810Trump wouldn't do that..Whatever floats Iv guess...
>>21808Trumpaladin goes to the mill with Slovenia, more or less telling her he can get her more equipment and a managerial position if she wants
>>21809I actually had that planned and was egging on Tourcil for that purpose>>21812The Unicorn we rescued is a fucking beast at carpentry
>>21810>>21813GM, please tell me Tay is in the stables at the same time as Tourcil
>>21813Does tay weigh more or less than 90kg?
>>21815Good. Torc, somehow becoming the party's engineer, will need help building
>>21817NO
>>21819>90kg>198.416 poundsDefinitely less than that.
>>21819Oh this unicorn is damn near psycho. She can produce all of it herself
>>21810GM, can I do like a sense motive check or a profession check to determine if Slovenia has the skills to actually manage other people?
>>21820Wherever she wants to be. You're fast
>>21822GOOD
>>21823But, can she do the math/design/usage?
>>21811The mill.
>>21820I think Trump, Slovenia, and Tracy are headed to the mill.
I further think that Torcuil is at the stables, potentially there with Taylor (who recently saw the tailor,... HA!)
Infernius is wandering around the countryside. Still no sign of
no bully Norfilly, who's adorable-ness brightens any day, or room, or campaign.
Also, Sad Alex hasn't been seen in a while, and while I'm on about it, neither has Yak Lee (who still has 'splainin' to do)
>>21825Actually yes. She's psycho. Stay away from her, because if she rapes you, that's a three day ban
>>21826i thought we sacrificed yak lee?
>>21826Sad Alex is incredibly powerful, but the drawback to his power is that he sometimes turns into an incredibly sad-looking statue for a long time...
>>21823Excellent question, she absolutely does not.
>>21825>mathYes
>>21827Not one for rape, good lookin' out though
>>21831Alright...
Trumpaladin stops hinting that she can be in any sort of managerial position
>is in stables
So.. what's it look like in there?
>>21832Doesn't the mill already have its own manager?
>>21830Don't make him scary
>>21835Probably, and I'm not appointing this psychopath
>>21834You can go to the forest if you want. Peeling off will not be punnished
>>21837>Don't make him scaryHe's a guy possessed by an "angel" that looks like an infernal, who's always crying for some reason. Besides, he said he wanted to be spooky.
>>21829Maybe, I just remember him being revealed as a troll. I'm still open to him playing though.
>>21830His character isn't bad, just not well developed or thought out. I think he assumed having Ryuk would make him awesomer, except that there's a limit to everything. Also he picked a fight with Thez out the gate, which was a fight he couldn't win even WITH Ryuk.
>>21833For the moment, nothing has changed
>>21840Thez was an infernal. Of course a fight is picked. Also, most of that was me trolling
>>21840what else do i see on my walk?
>>21841No, I know about that
didn't at the time, but saw in the aftermath. You goaded, but he still decided that Thez was a globalist and had Ryuk stab her.
You better not have been Alex the whole time. If you were, I advise he not appear anymore >>21827>gets raped by your waifu>bannedFek u
>>21825Alright
Estimating Tay's weight at 145lb
>long arm: 25 ft>short arm: 7 ft>sling length: 13 ft>height of pivot: 17 ft>counterweight mass: 30000 lb>projectile weight: 145 lb>release angle: 30°EFECTIVE RANGE: 1400 ft roughly
Tay, I would run
>>21847Yeah I know. Scariest thing in media I think I've seen
>>21840>nothing has changedTracy decides to leave the genius to her work, and excuses herself to go off and track down Infernius to fetch the lumber.
(I she moves at more than twice his base speed, so she should catch up pretty quickly once she finds his scent, right?)
>>21848Splendid! I won't have to nerf
both of you then!
>>21849Give her at least a few hours to make these things
>>21846Heading to the mill, talking about how much resources I can help provide, and placing an arm around her
>>21851Has Tracy caught Infernius's trail yet?
>>21853Does trollestia say anything to me?
>>21856Ask her if she's seen your boyfriend
>>21853Troll never responded to Torc
>>21856>>21857>urge to shoot intensifys >>21854Upon arriving at the mill, Slovenia and Trump are greeted by Adam, who is overseeing the running of the mill. I have no idea how the mill runs, since it
certainly wouldn't be an electrical grid, let alone hydraulics, but lets just leave that alone for the time being?
Upon entering, Adam turns and says "Whoa there. You can't be here, this area is off,..."
Slovenia launches into a tirade about how the machines can probably (and can) run faster, that the workers Adam has are not working to any degree of efficiency or resolve, and that the group is doing neither themselves nor the Port a service by slacking off or working anywhere outside their 'best'.
>>21855Yeah, he's still a ways off though. She passes an arrow stuck oddly in the ground.
[3d20 = 23]>>21860Spot + Listen to detect nearby creatures
Search to scan the area for clues and speed-up the tracking.
>>21860Watermill
To Adam: "I'm Trumpaladin. I own the person who owns you."
To psycho: "It's okay Slovenia, we'll get this"
>>21859If there was a question, I must have lost it, and I backtracked 2x.
Unless it was the question about Tay's weight, which appeared sufficiently answered
>>21861Well that was a shitty roll..
*Continues down the trail*
>>21863It wasn't a question, it was the "I have something to confess"
>spahgetti begins pouring out of sporran >>21865Wait, I forgot Warponies get +5 on Spot and Listen checks.
Does she sense anything?
>>21867Yes. She senses that she and others might just get struck by a random bolt of lightning if they don't stop being so vague about what they're doing and what their intentions are, such that the GM can actually make a reasonable response that fits both their intentions and the 'developing' plotline.
>>21868*trots forward through the forest, diligently, continuing towards the scent of the red bull*
>>21869You're right, I missed your comment about having something to say, please continue. Trollestia is listening.
>>21868Alright then
Trumpaladin puts his arm in front of Slovenia, if that is still possible, to prevent her from destroying something or whipping someone. He says to her "hold on, you'll get this"
He looks at Adam and says "I am Trumpaladin. Perhaps you heard of me. Part of the Party that killed Kefka and the Tarrasque. I severed Soros's arm. Anyways, we want to order Trebuchets for our party. I believe another member of our party was here earlier. I have here an expert craftsmare who you
are going to accept onto your team, although we should probably teach her how to work with others a bit better first."
>>21862"Owns? Heh, good luck with that," he turns back to his crew.
Slovenia however, doesn't seem too bothered by the scene. "I expected worse, but this will do fine."
>>21868im walking because i sad im not vauge.
>>21871>spagehtti is shooting out of sporran at the speed of light"Well, um. You s-see, I went to the b-bathouse. I was invited by Tay. I got in my plain kilt, got in and t-then......"
Torc begins mumbling like a madman, which I guess he is in a way.
>>21873Alrighty then, say what is in
>>21872\r
>>21874Tracy is still looking for this guy, finding every one of his deep, heavy hoofprints, and easily picking up his potent musk and trail of broken branches and dropped copies of Mein Kampf.
>>21878>>21879I assumed he always carried enough for the whole continent.
>>21875Just spit it yo.
>>21877Now we're getting somewhere.
>>21874Saying you're walking cuz sad without referencing or indicating why or what's the issue
IS vague
>>21881i get supply drops of them from the inter-dieminsion lufftewaffe.
>>21882because tracy basicly said "im not your friend infernuis"
>>21887infernuis takes everything to heart
>>21885"Blah blah, I don't care what you're doing. Give me measurements and dimensions and I'll make it happen."
Slovenia seems pleased with the mill.
"This is acceptable. Shall we venture back to the tower then?"
>>21888SHHH, you're ruining it! I saw it too! Also you should have booped! >>21883Wait, wut? You wanna run THAT by me again?
Aww shart. I have to attend to something that seriously can't wait until later.
In the mean time, Tracy continues stealthily following the bull's trail.
>>21894Infernius twists his ankle on a rock. Movement rate is halved.
>>21892Adam: "Excellent. We'll return with the details, I assume. And maybe more timber as well"
To Slovenia "Then we shall. Are you sure you don't want to make it on your own, to ensure quality? We might have a set of elves who can do lifting"
Starts to walk back to the tower. Wraps an arm around Slovenia as he goes
I know >>21897As he finishes healing himself, Tracy runs up on him, clearly having tracked him down at great length.
>>21896"Um... Slovenia? What do you know about Trebuchets exactly?"
>>21900"No idea, but they sound both exciting and challenging (trebuchets)."
>>21902"Well..."
Trumpaladin is out of words, and is heading back to the tower
>>21901Well, if I was in YOUR position, I might consider taking the opportunity to express why Infernius is salty at Tracy. Aside, I might consider the opportunity to throw MORE salt and bail. I might FURTHER describe the lanky-green fellows and belay the issue entirely. I might also,....
Sky's the limit.
>>21905i didnt know if you wanted me to interact with her while hes gone but okay
"tracy what you do hear?"
Waiting for Troll's responce on
>>21886>>21905While walking towards the Tower, Trumpaladin starts staring at Slovenia and physically touching her at more or less random to see if she responds to anything, and generally if this psycho-bitch ever breaks her trance
>>21908>goes with an interactive question, knowing that interaction is going to be delayed>>21909Troll sighs. "I can see this is important to you. It appears that this is a matter of great significance to you, and that it took a measure of courage and fortitude to even admit this to me," she says with a conciliatory sigh.
"What has that got to do with me?" she asks bluntly.
>>21908>>21911"tracy me sad because you act like you no want to be friends"
>>21910Are you TRYING to get attacked? I've relegated her responses to being 'fixated/occupied' so far 'cuz I don't want to have to deal with NPCs engaging in mutiny.
>>21911>Trump has been setting me up this whole time>eye twitchTorc turns about 20 differrnt shades of red, and fails to say anything (though not for lack of trying)
Then he teleports away in a puff of smoke, leaving behind a note
"I'm sorry. I was trying to salavge a boat that never made it to port in the first place. -Torcuil"
Torc, now in his cave, breaks out the scotch
>>21915Does Trumpaladin know where Torc's cave is?
>>21912THAT is a question/assertion which necessitates a response. I can't give it, cuz last time I attempted to emote Tracy it was declined, but still.
>>21916If you're testing the boundaries re: sexual intimacy, I have a hard time legitimately sanctioning a hoers who would be open to a sexual relationship with a human.

trollSorry, hate to break it to you, but it sounds bass-ackward to me.
>>21919What? She's an Equestrian pony
>>21922Who is "Not a character I'm directing"
>>21920>>21923It's an Equestrian pony. They have sexual relationships with humans
>>21924Lets assume what you say is true and objective. Even then, it wouldn't be a case of "Oh snap, there's a penis! I better,..." shoomp onto.
>>21926Hands down weirdest thing I've read all day
Sorry for being a faggot.

>>21928see
>>21912The rest are learnin' about waifus
>>21912*averts gaze*
"I.. I don't make friends very easily..."
Trumpaladin turns to Slovenia as they are walking, and says the following:
"I'm sorry Slovenia, but I think we are at an impasse. You want to build a trebuchet, but you don't know how to build one. I do not know how to build one. Adam asked at the mill what dimensions we needed, and I did not know the answer, and neither did you. There is one person who knows these things, and that is Tourcil. But I do not where to find him or how to contact him. He is like a cat, he shows up when he wants to. I would recommend going to the library in the Tower and seeing if there are any books on Trebuchets. I am not sure I have ever been to the Tower library myself, and I am also not sure that any book on Trebuchets are still in the library, and haven't been removed by Torcuil. I also don't know exactly what sized targets we'd be expecting, or what sized timber we'd need. So basically, there is nothing I can do to help you with your task further today. It will have to wait until more favorable conditions.
Unfortunately, I have other things I need to do in town and it's best I do these things before heading back, especially since I don't have anything else there I need to accomplish as of now, and without Inferius present. I must leave you now. I trust that you can find your way back to the tower on your own? Just follow the path and look to the sky. It's visible from far away. It's been great spending time with you."

>>21915I had thought that a rather final 'resolution' to the situation. Teleportation is a pretty final statement.

Torc realizes the Scotch isn't drowning his spagehtti, so he returns to the library to study somemore engineering

>>21964Tracy notices a liquid stain on the very occasional rock or stretch of grass. It smells like flesh, but bears none of the characteristics of flesh.
>>21958Wait hold up, is this at the library?
"I lived in a cave for years, and you're honestly wondering why I'm awkward?"
Torc sits down, and adopts the 1000 yard stare
"You see, even before that I had never been good with people. Honestly was suprised I got a girl to marry me."
He smiles a bit and chuckles
"I guess I thought I could change it, and be better with people. then that.... whatever you want to call it, happened between us and I don't know. I guess I really was wrong though."
>>21966*gravitates towards the area, carefully*
".. What's this supposed to be..?"
>>21967"Do you regret it? It was the first time I'd ever experienced such a thing. Many had,... presented themselves, but all did so wanting 'something' (not least of which was the obvious). You were the first I'd encountered who seemed to actually have an interest in who
I am. It wasn't a purely carnal thing, there was an innocence to it. I know you didn't ask for what happened TO have happened, and yet in the moment, I felt it would be a shame if I let the matter rest, or allowed the urge - the unspoken desire - to remain unanswered. You must understand, as a primal unicorn, I am particularly sensitive to natural impulses, to the fruition of desire and need. Though unspoken, I could sense a desire within you. I did not mean to offend, and if I did so, you have my sincerest apology," she finishes this statement, offering hoof and head in a bow of respect and supplication.
Didn't I say something about tyrants? >>21966>>21968*continues down the trail, beckoning Infernius to follow*
"I think I found something!" she shouts behind her
>>21968if tracy tells me about it i go over and taste it.
>>21970"No, you didn't offend me. So please stop bowing" Torc gestures for her to stand up "I just, I just imagined something that wasn't there. Thats all."

This Captcha sure is new.

>talks in her sleep
"... castle ... road ... forest .... candy ..."
Just wanted to let you guys know I have not forgotten, but I have a dog that is visiting me and it keeps me awake during the daytime.
>>21989Thez gently pets the mane of the most adorable of fillies.
"If you choose to wake, there will always be someone here. If you choose to sleep, there will always be someone watching over. Don't mistake me saying; having chosen a filly your player
faggot invokes ideas of protection and watchfulness, and on behalf of
ALL the other faggots I thank you for that. Whether you wish to play or wish to sleep, there will always be
someone here, adorable filly."
>>21990infernuis heads back to port barry.
loving these new board themes.
>Is a faggot
I'm still not finished sorting myself. If I offended, I ask for the means to make it right. I'm done saying "I'm sorry.". I knew what I was doing, did it deliberately, and dared consequence. Thats not who I want to be.
I want anons to feel/be welcome, but don't know how to be welcoming.
I'm gonna step back from everything. Tell me what you (players, and even lurkers) want, and I'll try to make it happen (it still has to make sense tho, and there is an adverse world outside). This isn't my show, it's yours. I forgot that, and its a mistake I won't repeat.
>>21993i know the feel its alright bro.
>>21993you've been super welcoming
>>21994Thanks, but its not alright. It will be though.
>>21996i walk back to port barry, if were still on for the night
some of it was my fault to i probbably shouldn't have wandered off like that. >>21997>thinking this is cuz he wandered off"I'nis,... sweet I'nis. No, this is not your doing, don't mind yourself over it."
She's right. GM is in a state of non plus. Players and characters have no fault in this.
I feel that I have done you - the participants (and perhaps the lurking observers) - a disservice. I did not choose to act in a way that would avoid or mitigate a disasterous or unnecessary outcome. All kidding, all maneuvers aside, I recognize and own that. Simply put, I got careless. I won't diminish my role by citing this or that. It is what it is, it is my fault, and there is little more to be said.
That I am sorry is a matter of consequence and hind-sight, which looks all fine and good after the fact but does not eliminate the choices I made nor does it explain or excuse my behavior. I will not ask for forgiveness or pardon because I don't feel they are warranted.
I hope to continue, to write and depict all sorts of outlandish stories for all to engage in, but I'm uncertain that I am adequately skilled. As a person, I have more issues than a magazine rack, and there is no doubt in my mind that such will color any future interactions.
Simply, I am a fool. I can't but be a fool. I will be less of a fool in time.
The desires of the players will entirely determine the continuity or cessation of my foolishness.
>>22001I don't really know what you're talking about, but I don't have any serious problems as is.
>>21998Don't sweat it, m8. This has all been really fun so far.
Mind that you don't need to do this every week if it's too difficult. I appreciate it any way.
>>21991Tracy wake up from a coma in the middle of the woods and follows Infernius back.
>>22004>>22005Tl;dr Last night I started acting a damn fool, and behaved inexcusably. That's really all there is to it.
>>21989Feel free to drop in whenever you can. There's no pressure. Your character brighten's up the place.
Sad Alex is still petrified, until his player decides show up again. His angel guards him though, and he makes for the most badass statue.
>>22007>behaved inexcusablyYou're excused.
Let's have more fun in the future.
>>22009Appreciated, but I don't accept that. Its one thing to bant/shitpost, another thing entirely to deliberately disregard player's equally (if not more so) valuable time and efforts.
>>22010Yeah, I sensed you were a bit stressed out at the time...
Just try a bit harder in the future. We all have bad weeks
like the time I was acting like an insufferable loot whore to the party, just to piss-off Trump's faggot. >>22011Also, I've already grown very fond of this Weeping Angel headcanon. Makes it so much cooler for Alex to just pop-in at interesting moments.
Don't tell Alex though. He doesn't actually realize it when he turns to stone.
>>22010On that note, were you planning anything tonight?
I would like to further explore those crafting options, and I'd be glad if anyone else joined.
>>22011I will, I can think of a number of "cheeky/douchy" aspects which may not have been particularly malicious, but may also not have been the best choice. Ex: referring to players as "faggots" was thought to be a way of reminding myself and others to not take themselves so seriously, but over time I saw/took it as an excuse to belittle. Another example is insisting on rules at one point and then arbitrarily throwing them out at others. Yes, I was stressed, but that's not an excuse to act petty and confrontational. I've dealt with GMs like that before, and seeing myself act that way is a bitter pill.
>>22013I have some business to attend to in an hour or so, but I will be here at length in the early afternoon (~3 PST)
>>22007>>22010>>22014>inexusablyAs long as no one died, I don't see the problem.
I'm enjoying it, besides sometimes rules need oo be ignored for fun
