This thread begins the next leg of the game, where GM (likely unsuccessfully) teaches of the wonders of rare-meat. Yes, I know Trump IRL likes his steak well-done, and to me that alone is evidence of controlled opposition. I still support the man, but dammit. Rare meat is the finest you can ever taste, satisfying immediate/basic hunger needs better than well meat, but also satisfying more primal urges and evolution. Remember, meat is only unsanitary if it is old or processed through a slaughter-house with poor quality control.
Enough about meat, lets get back to the game. Infernius is attempting to Leeroy Jenkins at the orcs, except that he has to climb a rope ladder to do so (cloven hooves = slower climbing). Tracy mulls about a very closed for business city that has cannons on the south-face, not yet realizing that unless she wants to go Nightmare (and thus ethereal but also glowing-in-the-dark) she's SOL.

>>23546>satisfying more primal urgesAh Hell no. I want her primal urges to be
unsatisfied by the time she leaves
>>23548What WILL you do if I use this as OP pic?
>>23546if liking well-done steaks makes me controlled op then call me dr.shekelstein.
Can she just transform momentarily?
Does the city have any visible ways in?
>>23553You do realize Thez eats raw faces right?
>>23546I eat my steaks well-done
>>23554You have six trillion rogue skills. Use those
>>23555okay? i dont mind how my waifu takes her steaks.
>>23557The one that walks through walls is the simplest
>Wishes she could use her power to make items to extend her Etherealness.
I'll have to ask for help on those..
>>23554Nothing readily apparent. It seems quite basic and utilitarian.
>>23556A pity you missed trips then
inb4 edit >>23559YOU CAN CLIMB WALLS AS A ROGUE. You can pick locks! Be creative for once!
>just walk through themBecause... ugh. Now you are fatigued after doing that, which reduces speed by 50%
>>23558"Good, just testing that you weren't one of those "EVERYTHING must be well done" spergs."
>>23561This. I know its not as easy as walking through the wall, but Tracy has more than enough skills and abilities to continue progress if you want.
"Trust me, I KNOW you wanna go the easy route," Thez whispers from a shadow.
>>23560I could have her jaunt through the door, but I'm too tired to deal with that tonight...
I'll just have her turn back to the tower and take her prenatal vitamins. Then she can pour the mold for that ring before she passes out on a pile of bones.
>>23560Waiting on the food to arrive, Trumpaladin smiles at Slovenia, as per usual
"Let me tell you the greatest story ever told. It's a story of trial and tribulation, of treachery and trepidation, of terror but also Triumph. It's the story of the 2016 presidential election..."
Trumpaladin tells the story as besty he can, will all essential emotions and hand gestures. I think this will take until long after the food comes in
>>23564Husbando comes in much later to pet the poor exhausted sleeping pony
\r
>>23566*pets pony... after he's back*
>>23565[Happy sleeping pony noises]
>>23564A surprisingly wise and level-headed decision for Tracy. No bully, that was simpler than I expected. She's able to determine from the surroundings that while the wall around the city is well-built, the area is not particularly well-kept; someone has been neglecting their duties, and the area around the city - while serviceale - is in need of some hard labor.
>>23565A most epic story, and one that will live on for generations.
"Did I ever tell 'ye about the time Trump was elected president?" shall be uttered for decades to come, increasingly.
>>23566'Night!
[1d20 = 12]>>23572Sense motive on Slovenia to determine how she's feeling or responding
>>23574She's fine, she's been working all day (and maybe during the night time?)
The food arrives as Trump is detailing Trump's proud stance as the Piano Guys played their rendition of Amazing Grace/Fight Song, and the overall effect it had on those who were witnessing, both live and digitally.
>>23575*Ends the story gloriously*
*Offers Ketchup bottle*
"But enough about me. Anything you want to share?"
>>23576https://youtu.be/zTzMRB9vfU0(in case ppl missed out on it live)
>>23578Dude, seeing it live was something else
So yeah, Slovenia is transfixed by the story, enjoying with rapt attention the degree of magnificence which Trump describes. Then he turns his attention and questioning on Slovenia.
"Me? I'm not much to speak of really. I have always taken to the hard, dirty jobs that no one seems to want. I've made my way putting more resolve and conviction into a task than those who have done it previously, and have both succeeded and suffered for it. Not many are want to welcome a unicorn into an "Earth-pony trade" like carpentry, and I've had my share of successes and failures. I've learned that I can't rely on anyone else to put as much conviction in their work, and tend to get,... somewhat blinded when engaged in a project. Consequently I can seem curt and unemotional, but I always get the job done."
>>23582*rises from the dead like zombie Jesus*
Muh feelz.
>>23587
"Uhm,... I don't know if I really have any place saying it, but can't we just leave the GETs alone? I mean, I know there's trolls and groups who wanna shit in our cereal, but doesn't leaving Mlpol open as a target only increase traffic? At the least there's gonna be those who 'wanna see', and beyond that it might help the board's reputation if we were more accommodating/inviting to outsiders? Remember, Jordan Peterson talks about how being social is about both learning to play the games that others are playing, in addition to playing our/one's own game," Thez says, as though she's been thinking these things for a long time but hasn't had the opportune moment to say them without incredible same-faggotry.
>>23582"That's... pretty incredible.
My grandfather was a mack truck repairman. Worked his whole life on diesel engines while also owning a tobacco farm. My father, he had real skills. He was a welder for many years, until he realized he could run the businesses better than his managers could. Even after he became a white collar business man he loved doing the hard work - going out into swampy land to put up signs, renovate a building, or install a pond. I had amazing respect for him. I don't know if I can quite say the same about myself with regards to the hard work. But if you had seen me on the line...
If you need any help with your work, please just ask"
Slightly emboldened (I've got Amazing grace on repeat) she continues: "So what if Spartans, or Weebs, or Trolls, or whoever comes to try and fuck up out shit. Its not like it really hurts us, if anything the ability to say "Good game" and continue on will be a greater asset to the site. I'm all for tribalism (BRONCOS 4LYFE), but,... well its not like Mlpol is going anywhere,... not like last time anyway."
>>23588>>23590"In my experience, open war is better than letting them just take it" Trumpaladin says, remembering deleting dozens of spam posts and banning dozens of proxies from a sperging inta spammer while on his phone in a theater in Univeral Studios Orlando over the summer, watching a movie with a friend
>>23589"I shall ask you first and foremost." She extends a hoof in a bump-esque gesture, blushing cuz its far more informal than she's done since coming "here".
>>23591Careful, that latter post is Thez
>>23592Trumpaladin extends his hand out, matching his palm to the bottom of her hoof and then sort of grasping, but letting go if she withdraws the hoof. He smiles at her
"I'm not sure I fully explained who I am to you, who we are"
Trumpaladin tells her about the group, and most importantly, his roles in their adventures, ommitting details like the in-fighting and getting Tracy pregnant. A sort of set of war stories, kind of trying to impress her.
He starts talking about his larger plans, which leads right back into how he thinks Slovenia could help
Okay, I have to ask, what is the manner in which she eats steak?
I'd like to share something. Its egregiously blog-posty, but it pertains to the overall/underlying scope and direction of the Game, why I'm so on about metaphysics, what we're doing in general and specific, and what I hope(know) can come of of a little bit of resolve, even if it seems absurd or whatever.
"Objections?" Thez asks, startling Infernius (who is still mid-way up the Orc's tree), as well as everyone else.
>>23594She clasps it between hooves and rips small chunks off of it.
>>23595Um... okay....
>rips small chucks outNow where are her manners? Kek
>>23594Sorry, that was a neglectful response. The comments about ripping were simply to do with eating meat.
Thez steps forward (in a mind-sense on this one). "GM has been flittering around the background of the digital community for years. At the same time he stumbled across a set of 3.5 D&D books, and me as a consequence, he was studying the republican primaries. At the
same time, he stumbled across the original video of Amazing Grace/Fight Song (the Piano Guys). As his efforts progressed (which included the digital capacity of metaphysics, which to his knowledge an undeveloped and unexplored genre, but most effective esp wrt meme magic) he attempted to coax and inspire others in his material surroundings to participate in a collaborative effort, which no one wanted to do. Whether it was the time involved, the musical technical ability, or just the theme, participants showed interest that eventually waned. Even as Trump was elected - joy for that - there was a sadness, that people seemed unable or unwilling to excite themselves, beyond their fervor for the 'icon'.
Then the inauguration happened. When the Piano Guys first took the stage, GM was already in tears, but as the song and the procession took place, he turned into a barrel of wetworks. It was a horrible and shameful display, but he also had the last of his fucks taken away.
What he learned that day is that there are metaphysicists in the world - outside one's particular interaction - that are powerful, deliberate, and who seek maybe not the
exact same thing, but an acceptable compromise. He didn't get to lead a group to sing Amazing Grace/Fight Song (he literally planned/tried to) but he
did see the impossibly-yet emergent president have that
same exact song played at said president's inauguration.
In a manner of speaking, Trump himself (cuz its not like Trump had no say in the music for the inauguration) said to GM that day: "Thats a good idea. Lets do it on a grander scale"
"Thats what this thread is all about. Its the butterfly effect, except at the level of the butterfly."
Thez smiles
>>23598>>23599you guys can thank one 4cuck mod that banned me for shit posting for me being here right now. i like butterflies.
>>23599>>23598I had a friend in law school who messaged me on April 1 and said that the /pol/ and /mlp/ boards were merged...
>>23600It was/will (one of my 'proxies' is gone for the next 4 days e\\_/e) be relayed and thanked. Though I am most critical of 4chan, I will never stop thanking them for the blessings that have come of 4/mlpol/ and everything thereafter.
>>23601IKR? When I first saw it I was like "Oh hell no!",... funny ol' world 'aint it?
>>23598D'aww
Trumpaladin continues trying to impress Slovenia and also flatter her
>>23602I thought it was the most wonderful idea I had ever heard of at that point. I had never even looked at a chan board before then
>>23604"Yes. It was 10-thousand things, unleashed and given form. I think Mlpol.net has begun to forget, not to their detriment or laziness, but simply from familiarity. A reminder is due desu," Thez says smilingly.
>>23606So, I guess Trumpaladin and Slovenia are finished eating by now. So Trumpaladin will have to get the check... Just kidding! He owns the place, he can eat for free. Or at least has an indefinite tab open
Is she too tired to go sight seeing in the town?
>>23607"Not at all, I haven't had the chance to explore yet, I've been too involved. Please lead the way," she replies, offering her hoof.
>>23608hows that rope climbing coming along?
>>23608Hell yes
"The city has changed quite a bit since I arrived here, in no small part thanks to us.
Over here is the rusty spoon, at least I think it's called. Another restaurant. Survived the fire. Favored by our party member's senior player, Thez. Favored by much of the townsfolk as well. I personally don't think it's as clean.
This building here is... Also loved by Thez, and that is all I will say about it.
Here we have Luxury apartments. I had these built to try and bring some class in. One of the two largest buildings in the town. The view from the top penthouse is beautiful" Trumpaladin smiles deviously "the view of the interior is even better. I could show you our current deign and you could tell me where you could make it even better. But I think I'll show you the rest of the town first
Here is the harbor itself. When I first got here, the galleys were empty, and not much moved. Now, even late at night, big, beautiful sailing ships move from across the ocean
Over there, is the coastal fortress, which served as the citadel in the great demon attack on the city."
>>23610You miffed that one, the Rusty Duck IS favored by the townsfolk, but is NOT favored by Thez (she still likes the Sticky Wicket) for the same reason.
No further corrections or side-notes.
>>23609Infernius ... pant pant ... is almost ... to the top ... pant
>>23610"Look at the streets themselves. They used to be meander around haphazardly, evidently developed as the city grew organically. When the fire took out much of the city we changed the plan. I formulated it on the layout of Paris, a city I visited an became enamoured with in a different life. The street pattern proceeds from a central point and radiates outward, sort of like bicycle spokes. The apartments form one center, with a plaza in the exact center. We intend a statue here latter on.
Here is the Town Hall. Sechs is the leader of the city. I figured we needed a strong building to project local government power, so I had one built. In the Neo-classical design, since that is how government buildings always appeared in my realm.
Here is the library. Filled with many books and great wisdom. Several floors to give a presence.
Over here we have the bazaar, closed at the moment, but offers all sorts of interesting items from all across the planet for sale.
You can't really see them well from here, but before you, near the western waterfront, are several factories. See the smoke stacks? A tannery, a paper mill, a weaver's shop, and others we shall soon add. These were my idea. I wanted to expand the city's production from just being agriculture and selling pirate loot, to being a serious center of entrepot, commerce, and manufacturing. To give the people real jobs. Give them something to buy. I own these buildings in part. We also expanded the forges greatly, I think you can see them when we pass by that part of the city.
Here is the other great radial pattern in the city. At its center is a plaza where we shall eventually locate a statue of a hydra with Soro's (and others') heads being cut off. The main building is the Diamond exchange. It is the highest building in the city. That's operated by Ben. His gold and silver smithing is the dominant industry in town for now. He also helps work finance like banking.
To the immediate south is the church of Rockwell. Kind of ironic its placed there. Inferius is the main cleric of that faith."
>>23617"Psst, he's doing a better job of converting the otherwise undetermined layfolk than you. Don't take it personally."
Thez whispers from under a random branch (she has crazy shadow-hax btw).
>>23619>gets shadow-groped"Everyone has their skills and weaknesses."
>>23620*soothed minotuar noises*
"As we travel north, you can see the city walls. They were rather impressive when I got here, but I had them built ten feet taller as a precaution, given the danger to the city from occasional does. What you see before you used to be cattle pasture. Now, well, you see it
That's the Stadium. The Cathedral of the Great Church of Football. You probably haven't heard of it, or of the great God Elway whom we serve. But you will, you will. You must see now that it's probably among the biggest structures you've ever seen. Well, I can't speak to your experience, but I think only the larger palaces and castles even come close to the size of this thing on this planet. It's big enough for the entire city and then some. Let us go in
Here you can see ticket booths, refreshment stands, seating areas, let's go forwards shall we
Here is the lower seating area. Look through. Look at the field. Look at all of the seat areas. Yes, that would take a while to walk around. You can see there are seats close to the ground, and seat further up. But all of them have a great view of the field. And the field... Let's go on it shall we?
Here is where the teams play the ball. 100 yards end zone to end zone. Just imagine it, if you can. It's truly great. I'll have show you the recordings of the super bowls. Actually, I'll need to show you a game some day. Look up there you can see the luxury suits. They are great on the inside. You'll be able to experience it I am sure.
Speaking of palaces, when evil tries to attack, they tend to flock for this field. They too are impressed by it, hard to blame them. This is where Soros came the second time, the third time, and where we killed Kefka and his Tarrasque. In that way, the field is not just a metaphorical site of liberation, but a literal one.
Across the field, we have where the players enter. Exiting through this other area takes us into the reliquary. The tarasque itself should be here, formed as a Football.
*beat*
That's strange. Fae seems to have removed it from its display case. I'll have to ask her about that later."
\r
>>23621While we're on the subject, can I get a ruling on Minotaur penis? Is it like a tentacle (re: bulls) or is it more like a cylinder (re: hoers)?
>>23623>>23624horse like benis, due to mutation.
>>23625"Gald you said it," Thez smiles.
>>23626"glad you like it" *infernuis winks*
>>23622As we circle back around towards the East, appreciate that all that is around you was grass land just a few months ago. We've added to the city. Okay, so it's still underdeveloped, but there are buildings now. We've added some lower income housing, which is used thanks to the new increase in the population, and some warehouses, although these are not connected with the more profitable Entrepot trade, but rather the domestic manufacturing at the forge...
Speaking of which, here it is. Vastly expanded. All sorts of metal crafting. An Arsenal as well, at least the beginnings of one.
Here is a monestary where monks of the Broncos meditate on Football. We've attached a school. It's the biggest school in the city. The monks teach most everything there - the Trivium, liberal arts, but also vocations. We have taken an illiterate peasantry, and we are making them ready to conquer the world. Metaphorically, by economic competition and cultivation of skills. Perhaps at one point you might decide you want to teach carpentry to others. Or be a priest, like Noble Fae. No pressure or anything, just to make you aware of the universe of possibilities.
Here we have an additional monastic building - the headquarters of the Davisian Mendicant order. They shall spread the faith to every corner. Which reminds me, I need to get some ships loaded.
Here is the Militant Order of the Broncos. A little less metaphorical, these are those who have determined that they shall not stand idly by as the city is threatened, but will take the fight to the enemy. I think I will take them on expedition tomorrow. You can see there also the Training field.
Look South, towards the first radial, you can see the headquarters of the United States Football League in the distance. We're going to establish new franchises, merchandising... what you've seen is but the beginning
As we approach the North gate of the city, well, I think that's everything. Or much of it anyways"
>>23628Trumpaladin holds the forward hooves and looks into her eyes
>>23628Her eyes are alight with the ideas presented, but her brow furrows a few times.
"Wait, please, I don't understand these 'Broncos'. Who are they?"
>>23630"They are those who love their country and their home. Who understand the true value of teamwork, of authority and tradition. To translate it into Equestrian religious terms, they are those who have mastered the understanding of Harmony, and Friendship.
They are the citizens of Port Barry who play for Port Barry, represent it, and when needed, fight it's battles. They are those members of the Church Militant nearest sainthood"
>>23630>>23631"I think I misunderstood your question. Our Broncos are named after the True Broncos, those disciples of Elway, who played with him, were managed by him, at Mile High. They are among the greatest saints. They are Football, in a real sense. They are America"
Trumpaladin seems overcome with awe as he speaks these words
>>23631>>23633"It sounds,... nice. I'm not sure I understand Port Barry, its lengths and breadths, nor do I conclusively understand the Broncos or the grandness of John Elway (I'm assuming that if one talks about the Broncos and Football, that John Elway would have been mentioned) but I very much agree with the tenor you have described thus far."
>>23634"That's quite alright. I did not understand Port Barry at first, and even as I have come to shape it, there are still aspects of it I do not quite understand. But I do know that it is mine and I am its, that I would fight and bleed to protect it and that I have in fact fought and bled to protect it. That it loves me almost as much as I love it. And that I have made its good my own, its prosperity and its glory my goal.
I think you'll be here a while. You'll become more acquainted with this town. Perhaps you too shall help shape it.
Elway's greatness and grandeur is too great for mortal understanding. We can only appreciate fragments of the true divine beauty. I shall help teach you, and help to understand, though I too do not and cannot fully understand nor grasp the glory. The finite cannot grasp what is infinite.
But I shall be here, by your side, to help you."
\r
>>23635"Its all so much,... let me consider, will you? In the meantime, I shall work at driving excellence from the mill?" she says, a bit starry-eyed, but maintaining a degree of dignity and poise.
>>23636Laughing
"hehe, but of course! I have full faith in you. From what I've seen already today, you do indeed place full conviction into your work. You will get the job done. And you will do well here"
>>23637They proceed through the North gate and are on their way to the Tower
Alright. From tonight, we can conclude that
- The orcs have been minimally/moderately observed and determined as an operative faction. They are entirely native, and,... well,... "based on sjws".
- The cannon-city is well built and well defended,... but not well-maintained, or responsibly tended to.
- Slovenia likes hard work and autism
>>23640I never said you were, nor was trying to overshadow or diminish, just summarizing (both for my own benefit, as well as whomever else,... remember there's an implicit audience).
>>23641Trumpaladin and Slovenia walk their way back to the tower and enter. He takes her up to the door of her room.
"It's been a wonderful night, and great getting to know you. I hope we can do this again. I won't keep you if you must go, but one last thing"
Trumpaladin, with one hand, grasps onto Slovenia's foreleg, and with another, gently caresses her muzzle. He leans in, and attempts a kiss
>>23642Being not an overly equestrian gesture (though not unheard of) she awkwardly looks about for a moment, before finally relinquishing to and abandoning herself to the kiss. And for a moment, even the thought of wood-working vanishes amidst fireworks and lights and sounds (all mental) that fire off and flare within her head.
You're welcome >>23643thabj youTrumpaladin increases passion to the degree she will accept, hugging and embracing the pony
Only one question, will she take him into her room for you exactly what, or does she wish him a goodnight?
>>23644That depends. Is Trump intending to seduce er body or her mind? There IS a difference,.....
"Its been a lovely evening, I look forward to learning more and doing my part to, what was the phrase, "Make Port Barry Great Again?" she says with a smile.
>>23645>Is Trump intending to seduce er body or her mind?Yes
Seeming entranced by her, he responds
"I look forward to getting to know you as well. You truly are beautiful. Indeed, Make Port Barry Great Again!"
He embraces her once more, and then departs, unless she has something else to to say
>>23646If yes, then work on the mind first the body second. Thats just a suggestion tho, not a prescription.
>more to sayPerhaps, but leaving now is the best move. Always leave them in a state of uncertainty/disbelief, either literally or figuratively wanting more.
>>23647Leaving was more or less what I had in mind. She doesn't seem like the type to screw on a first date. So long as she accepts a kiss it's good enough.
>>23569When he is done elsewhere, Trumpaladin looks around to find Tracy. He finds her having fallen asleep in the forge. He pets her, then cradles her and carries her into his bedroom. He then strips down from his now complete full plate mail armor, magical underarmour, and everything else.
He then mounts Tracy, intensely having sex with her, probably enough to wake her into full consciousness, but she maintains at least the appearance of remaining asleep. He lies down next to her, and it occurs to him that this is the first time she's been in his room in the tower. He falls asleep with her in his arm.
Did anything happen while I was out cold?
>>23651ITT? Not much. Trump had a successful heart to heart with Slovenia, who is eager to put her abilities and talents to work on behalf of the party and the port. Some bants went this way and that, some feels were had/exchanged, and everyone (Tracy included) had a good (and not stressful) time.
By the way,... are we going to hear from Norfilly and Taylor anytime soon? I'm starting to worry.
>>23652I'm sure they'll show up Saturday.
>>23653This weekend tends to be very taxing/demanding (time, effort, stress, etc.), so no fault if they don't. I'm just emphasizing that they are not forgotten.
Nor is Sad Alex, or Yak Lee for that matter.
Would Lenos be willing to teach Tracy how to set traps?
Also, if Tracy acquired Aura of Despair through Blackguard levels, would that mess-up her stealth?
>>23654I say, for the sake of comfort and casual player accommodations characters should have a default/grinding modes during the week, instead of just freezing like zombies:
>Whenever Queen Taylor can't show, assume it's because she's busy having awesome concerts and spreading her fame.>Norfilly is still collecting sticks and discovering fascism through it., and makes everyone very happy just by being alive.>Sad Alex goes in and out of petrification as his mood swings, but he manages to strike a different Jojo pose every time; he's getting pretty good at it.>Trumpaladin tweets on his phone whenever he can despite the lack of electricity/internet, but has faith that his tweets will reach other universes and have influence over destiny.>Torquil studies his meme tombs and draws rare Pepes and the like in his books for future use.>Infernius prays to his lord aand rereads Mein Kampf every week, so that he doesn't forget how to read; after that, he works on the Confederate Monuments around Port Barry.>Thez hauls ass at her Fight Club, visiting daily to remind them that they're all her bitches.>Tracy sharpens her various knives, practices her stabbing, and imagines what it will be like to be a motherPlayers could set their own default modes too, or put basic, simple tasks, like crafting, on the backburner between weekend sessions.
Thoughts?
pic unrelated >>23651Tracy was raped in her sleep, see
>>23648>>23656I think she'd be detectable through the detect evil spell, although it would take a couple rounds, and they'd only know her direction, but not her precise location. I'm not sure, but I think that spell might only be used by good slighted clerics and Paladins, which you are hopefully unlikely to have hunting you.
Another question: can buff spells of the same type stack? i.e If two spellcasters cast Bull's Strength on the same creature, does it get +8 Str?
>>23658>detect evil spellDoesn't that work on other evil creatures too?
With the Fiendish template, Tracy already counts as an Evil Outsider with fairly high hit dice, so that's already a strong aura.. I'm not sure how to calculate it though.
>>23660She only counts as a fiendish outsider with fairly high hit dice in cauchemar form, which is already a pretty clearly unsubtle form. Otherwise, I think her only issue when not transformed is the 3 or 4 levels in Blackguard.
But really, what sort of enemies are you worried about casting Detect Evil?
>>23661Holy hell Thats the best class ever
>>23662Cauchemar isn't fiendish. Fiendish is a template applied to normal animals. I thought it was stated that she became fiendish after transforming for the first time, with the horns and all.
>>23664Uh... Let's say she was cured of her fiendishness or something through the Golden Lady's order or sufficient application of Paladin semen
>>23655Firetrap is a magical spell, he's not using physical traps.
>>23656Yes and no. She would be sensed but not seen.
>>23657Hmm, you pretty much nailed everyone.
>>23659Nope
>>23669Ah, I see.
Is setting traps a skill rogues normally have, or is that limited to just disarming them? A snare-trap is simple enough to make, but idk how to set them tactically.
>>23671I specifically set up
>>23648 so that way she'd wake up with an arm over her.
*sleeping and spooning Paladin noises*
>>23670Traps are devices. They consist of a trigger, a reset, and a function. Anyone can make them but only rogues can make or disarm traps higher than DC 15
>>23665The first part didn't happen though.
Also, what about the lingering spines in her mane?
>>23675She banished outsiders. It had consequences. The spikes were removed sort of surgically
>>23675Meh, they're gone. They fell out like rotten teeth, cuz you didn't like 'em and I completely forgot
>>23677Fine by me (I was going to say she clipped them daily as part of her morning routine).
Just for the sake of my haphazard character sheet in the making, does she have the fiendish sub-type or not?
>>23679Not by default, its a gained trait through partial or full transformation.
>>23680So, only while she's a warhorse?
Just want to note that Slovenia is absolutely adorable. I think she could compete with Nordfilly for mascot
\r
>>23684REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENorfilly is best mascot though.
"Morning! I'm gonna go kill something!" Thez beams after a long night's (5 hour) sleep.
>>23686What'd she do with Kefka's wings, btw?
>>23687She's about to test them. She could have had them made into Wings of Flying,... but that would have taken too much time and effort. Instead, she stitched them together to make a crude hang-glider apparatus.
"I don't need to fly, I just need to be able to better direct my falling." ^_^
<whooof> In the distance, a Roc that had been maintaining a circular flight pattern suddenly crumples mid-flight, as though struck from above by a projectile.
>>23688>Wings of FlyingThat's what I thought she was going to do.
Hang glider is much more creative though.
Make it fold into a staff, like in Avatar tLA >>23689>Rocs existWell shit. How much of this world is trying to us?
>>23690Ooooh, that's a GOOD idea, Not a staff exactly, but collapse-able.
The Roc in the distance is clearly struggling against something, but unable to right its self as it descends toward the ground. At this rate,....
... yeah, it didn't make it.
BTW, if I didn't mention last night, I'm gonna do a bit more off-board dice rolling simply to increase the tempo of some activities. Combat rolls will still be done on board.
Trumpaladin wakes up with a full and long list of things he needs to do today.
He needs to confer with Inferius, on not just one but two seperate issues.
He needs to ask Fae a question, and then have her accompany him on an expedition.
He needs to deliver some Chamomile Tea to a certain someone, and make some morning bagels for her as well
He needs to ask Trollestia for her services
He needs to meet with Sechs and his Broncos
He needs to meet with leaders of the Davisian Order
He needs to recheck that market place
But first, there's someone he really wants to talk to. Someone he did not talk to last night, though he wanted to
>>23695That, you can eat>>23695A VERY good question.
A small group of humans emerge from the brothel and make their way in the direction of the fallen bird.
It takes a while, but the team of humans eventually drag the bird back in the vicinity of the Port. There they lay the bird out and begin the long and laborious task of plucking it.
Thez <whooofs> back to the tower, bearing some new scratches and gashes (nothing serious).
"I need to make an amulet, I got so used to having scales and natural armor - not to mention much more damage reduction - that I forget to guard myself against attacks. Oh well, I still nabbed us a proper bird, the whole city can has some 'turkey' tonight!" ^_^
>>23699>this is after Tracy woke up and kissed her husband good morningTracy is out for a stroll, and decides to investigate the area where the bird landed.
>>23700>the whole city can has some 'turkey' tonightYou set this whole thing up for that
>>23701But I need to talk to her first
>>23702I would NEVER
Black spot is gommie town, dark red is where the bird landed.
>>23702Please, oh please, oh please don't make me miss out on this.I'm going to have to go in a bit...
>>23703I didn't put all those ranks into Handle Animal for nothing. >>23704Tracy goes out to check out the mountains around that area.
>>23707Bah, trolls are easy if you know what to do.
>>23708Good point. I'll add it later, but the Tree-Orc village is just to the right of the circle
*investigates mountains where Roc fell*
>>23712The Roc didn't fall in the mountains, it fell in a field a way outside Port Barry, almost like it was hunting caos
>>23711"What? Just set 'em on fire," Thez says like everyone knows that.
>>23713*Investigates crater where bird fell to determine which way it was flying, and looks for mountains in either direction*
I g2g, but I wanna find that nest.
>>23713Almost as if it fell miles away from the probable location of its nest, if it was a female. If
>>23714"I see. Just like the Vietnamese..."
*removes Icon of Saint Nixon from his pocket and looks at it*
>>23717Fuck it, I'm going to do this because Tracy didn't and it's just so glaringly obvious
"Thez, what was the sex of the Roc?"
>>23718"Uhm,... I didn't check. Hold on." <whooof>
32 seconds later
<whooof>"Its a girl."
>>23719"One more question Thez. These Trolls. Are they the same as the "Orcs" I hear mentioned, or are we dealing with two entirely separate groups here?"
>but I just wanna fug that pone
I saw that GM
>>23722"Uh... who was encountered by Tracy and Inferius last night exactly? Living in the trees?"
>>23723Tree-orcs. The Trolls were in a separate section of the woods. I'll plot that position also.
>>23724*Reeees internally*
"Was the village of the Trolls located, or only of Orcs?"
>>23725The troll village has not been located so far, just the orcs. The orc village is in a decent enough forest, but its mostly soft woods that aren't sufficient for trebuchets, the harder woods are deeper into the forest.
>>23726"Trolls I know are dangerous and man-eaters. What is the reputation of Orcs?"
>>23727"NORMAL orcs, or THESE orcs?" Thez asks with a chuckle.
>>23728"The Tree Orcs whose village was located. As specific to this situation as possible"
>>23729"Oh they're a bunch of pansies. They first took to the trees when the zombies were a problem, and developed a strategy of raining down rocks and filth on whoever was detected in their environment. They're generally malnourished, moderately inbred, and entirely stupid. Don't tell Slag I said that."
>>23730"Who is Slag? Have you opened up diplomacy with them? Are they an amiable bunch?"
>When you almost call an airstrike on the wrong village
>>23731"Slag is the angry green-faced guy who made a cameo early on against the hydra. He's been hiding in his room since then cuz he's so SERIOUS," she says this with a mocking sort of theatrics. "At this point, I don't think the orcs are aware of us, other than the time when they shot at I'nis. I wouldn't describe them as amiable, but they might be lured into contributing to the party and the local infrastructure.
>>23733Orcs Speak common, right?
*Scratches "Genocide Troll Village" off list of things to do today, since the Troll village has not been located, and the Orcs are not suitable targets for mass murder of women and children*
"I guess we'll want to meet with her when we determine we need laborers to build a damn or highway system. In the mean time, I have a pirate and 23 potential pirates I don't know what to do with, and 14 elves we sort of have laying around. I'll try to talk Inferius out of pissing them off by trying to enslave a few of them"
\r
>>23734>commonHeavens no, why do you think all the "Hibbity Hooblah"?
Wait, Infernius was going to re-enslave the elves?
Back for a bit
Did Tracy find any clues in the Roc's territory
>>23735I mean.. the D&D wiki says they speak both Common and orc, so I figured they were talking Orc in the home.
>re-enslave the elvesThe elves, no, although if they spent much of the day searching for gems in the dungeon or helping move the larger beams for the trebuchet, it would be much appreciated
>>23736She wasn't looking in its territory, she was surveying the area around where it landed, but Rocs have a several mile-long range of operation. They're
ahem meta known for nesting in mountainous regions.
>>23738These aren't standard orcs, these are tree-orcs. No common 4 u!
>>23739*sighs*
Well if they can't speak our language and no one knows Orc, then we can't boss them around.
Just so long as Inferius doesn't start a war I'm fine
>>23739I meant looking for/into it's territory.
Did she find the mountains in which it could've roosted?
>>23741There's one mountain range. Try not to get eaten by a dragon
>>23739Trumpaladin goes to the Bazaar. Riding Fae if it's faster
>>23743
An adult dragon is a match for a high level paladin. I checked
>>23742>Mountain dragonsThat'd be Red or Silver, right?
>>23746Well, there are a number of dragons that like to live in mountains, although it's different climate zones for different kinds of mountain dragons. I think Silver are reasonably non-hostile, but red dragons, yeah. If you find a large one, you're dying
>>23740It would be a shame if there was a cleric in the party that can "Comprehend languages"
>>23741It would have been the one that is at the south side of the Circle. You know, the one Tracy and Infernius were mobbing around in last night.
>>23746Red Dragon is correct. Just looked at the stats again and you don't want to face one alone
>>23747Red dragons are bros. They know where it's at.
Fuck silver dragons though. Thinking they're so cool, and always shapeshifting for human cock.
>>23748Advance towards that area.
Also, does this universe have duct tape?
>>23750>BrosUh huh. I'm sure they feel the same way about you
>>23751I'll consider making an exception, but no.
>>23750Red dragons are legendary-tier trolls
