Read "Corny Nuts"
Which brings us into the next edition of the Game thread! For newcomers, this is an RP thread thats been ongoing for,... shit, 3 months now. How time flies.
Anywhow, its based on a very loose and permissive rendition of classic D&D 3.5 edition as a baseline, and includes whatever additions can be effectively (and not too ludicrously) included; basically whatever players want that also makes some sense.
The party has just made some character and story developments. Trump and Tracy discover that when their powers combine they form Captain Planet,... or rather, Tracy gets uber-sized and most ferocious.
Infernius and Thez have successfully tracked down and captured a Dark Elf who had been masquerading as the proprietor of the Bazaar (there is no proprietor) who were responsible for jacking all their shit.
What happens next? I have some idea, which probably means its not going to go anywhere near how I expect.

>>24847*holds on to Thez's waist*
>>24849"I can call you when you're done"
>>24846Actually for that matter, just hollow out the body from the outside in. Start pulling organs out of the neck. Look for items in his body.
>>24851Leave the rib-cage intact, so the ropes don't come loose.
>>24849"Fine, stay behind, I just didn't want to leave you if you wanted to go too."
>>24850"Alright then!"
<whoof>They both appear several thousand feet above the Port at a 45deg north diagonal. Her wing-contraption immediately extends, but seems heavily weighted by his armor and everything.
"Dammit, we won't crash, but"
<whooof>"Remind me to have you"
<whooof>"Stow that shit for next time."
After a brief and sarcastic bit of banter, the two touch-down a good number of yards outside Cardashil, its central spires reaching up past the domed wall surrounding it. The line is just as long as ever, and is progressing equally slowly. Thez re-bundles her glider-wings.
>>24852Tracy finds a set of fine lockpicks taped to his ass.
>>24856Shit... You arrived just 5 minutes too late
>>24855*pockets lockpicks*
Dig deeper into his corpse, scraping out any and all tissue.
>>24854Sorry, yes. Sparintenar. My bad
Video re-winds and plays back in a similar manner, except Sparintenar.
Sparintenar is a very precise and deliberate looking city-state. A great deal of care has been placed to replicate throughout what embellishments can be seen (gargoyles, ramparts, windows, etc.). It is very uniform and precise.
>>24859Neat! Is there a building that clearly seems to dominate from the skyline?
Approaches city more closely
>>24860Not particularly, the outer wall has been constructed to as to prevent outsiders from looking in at all. Its very pragmatic and strategic in its design, though not lacking in a simple (almost Dwarven) aesthetic.
>>24862I recall Krenshall was a dwarven city. Is Sparintenar as well?
[1d20 = 9]>>24861The suit has a myriad of tiny little dots on it,... which curiously run to and fro. Tracy feels a slight sting in her hand.
>>24864>Oh shitInfernius is sitting in the vault, right?
>>24863>KrenshallGnomish, I think you mean to say
>SparintenarNot apparently, there are humans at the gate.
>>24864Is.. is that a fortitude save?
Tracy saves,... barely. In response to the pain and a warm sensation at the site, her attention is directed to a number of tiny spots that are spreading out along her forearm.
>>24868Yes
>>24868If it is I think you just lost
>>24870>>24869Can't Tracy share Trumpaladin's saving throw? His is 10.
>>24872In mounted form, yes. In non-mounted form... I don't know
>>24872Plus the Charisma modifier.
>>24873No, not unmounted. Besides, Tracy's fort is +9 for rogue levels, and +2 for BG levels (maybe even an additional +1 depending on where that last level lands, I have 13 in Rogue, 1 in BG, 1 in Assasin, with 1 remaining)
>>24857What did i miss quick rundown while im reading through.
>>24867As Trump approaches the gate (and Thez close behind) he is greeted by the guards. "That's a fancy entrance you made there. A trick like that would wow some people. Can I get your name?"
>>24873Does a Paldin's mount normally need to be near/mounted on the Paladin to share the save? It's not in the description.
Fiendish servants share saves too, and a common servant is a common toad.
>>24876Tracy killed the Elf thing.
Trumpaladin mounted Tracy
Trumpaladin goes to Sparintenar
>>24876Players were noobs, got triggered by the Dark Elf, killed him, put his head in a metal bucket, and then Trump/Thez took off to make contacts in Sparintenar. Tracy did a variety of torturing/killing the Dark Elf until he died, which is why his head is now seated, partially submerged, in now-cool iron).
>>24877"Why Thank you. That was thanks to Thez, another member of my party. I am Trumpaladin"
>>24881Thez is wide-eyed, but otherwise non-responsive.
"Greetings Trumpaladin. Ordinarily I would give you a lengthy detailing about how non-citizens are under strict orders to engage in no shenanigens while inside, I suppose I can skip that bit for a paladin right? Sparintenar is open for you to enter, please take in all that our fine city-state can offer." He looks again at Thez (dark skin, oddity, still no bother).
>>24883"But of course, I have nothing but the best of intentions, and thank you"
Enters city
Looks at structures
>>24878Is Tracy kill or not?
Also, If a Blackguard uses a toad or raven as their servant, how do they share saves when one can't ride the other?
>>24882Whoops, you're rightTracy, I apologize for the mistake, but you fall flat on the ground, losing consciousness. A warm sensation drifts up your arm and,....
[3d20 = 23]>>24879>>24880*BLIND FUCKING RAGE!!!!!!!!!!!*
*attack anyone who had anything to do with the drows death.*
Infernius is in the vault, right?
[desperate hoers noises]
>>24885Not kill, but not well either. Blackguard servants work differently than Paladin mounts who happen to be Blackguards because the GM doesn't know how to maintain boundaries with players, but who has the chance to make things difficult so now he's going to.
>>24891Not entirely, but upon Infernius entering the room he sees a torn-apart torso, (formerly the dark elf) next to a crucible bucket with the elf's head cemented in iron. Tracy is passed out on the ground and is burning up.
>>24895Pls halp... I don't want the fetus to get brain damage..
>>24897*heals bitch hores so the bab dont die*
>>24897Oh, the fetus got brain damage from the parents by my reckoning. Xp
>>24900*cuts off ear*
"dont fuck with me hores."
>>24899I'll refute that when I come up with a reasonable response.
>>24898>>24900Healing Tracy results in her gaining consciousness, but she's still stricken with poison and delirious.
>>24899Do you mean genetic or the other thing they've been doing?
>>24901[pained pony noises]
"H-hello..." she says weakly
GM suspects he's going to enjoy this
>>24907*cures poision*
*punches face multiple times*
"NOT YOU OBJECT TO KILLLLLLL REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
>>24905Surely only the things that they've been doing, I wouldn't dare suggest otherwise.
[3d20 = 21]>>24909Infernius feels several sharp pricks along the hands that are holding Tracy
>>24911Are those things crawling along Tracy now? Is she going to get bitten again?
>>24909".. I.. I d-didn't
mean to kill him! I tried to paralyze him so that he couldn't slip away, but then I popped the wrong disk! Ouch!"
He saves (this time for sure, barely) but he notices several little spots running around along his hands.
>>24917She's not a threat at the moment, she hasn't even regained her feet. Though, she can see without looking too hard that there are several on her person, assuming more haven't hidden themselves amongst her armor and clothes.
>>24918Yes, spooder. You have JUST a moment to decide what to do.
>>24919Kek, you have your priorities straight
>>24920[delerious pony noises]
"... They're kind of cute..."
>>24921*i rip out tracys right eye*
Crawl towards Entertron as soon as she can.
>>24927Pay attention. You might learn something about how to torture non-lethally
>>24928He didn't respond to pain. Idk if he could even feel pain. That's why I thought it would be a swell idea to paralyze him.
>>24927"me anger sated"* heals pony fully except for ear* "me keeping this so you no forget"
>>24930*doesn't bother trying to get ear back*
*Moves towards Entertron*
>>24932Isn't she still covered in adorable spooders though?
>>24931Let your husbando heal your ear
I hate to say this but.... bottle a spider
>>24934I gotta try to get this webbing off first, or at least glamour it..
If Tracy survives this, we could use her blood to make an antidote. Antivenom is made by injecting horses with poison to create antibodies, after all.
[1d20 = 8][3d20 = 34]>>24924Okkay,....
>>24925Good choice. Tracy crawls out of the room "Oh no you don't!" a squeaky voice can be heard.
Thats what I would have said, dice included, but I had to restart my computer so I'll start from the entertron
Oh snap, its a good thing too!
>>24939>is spookedFucking gallop at full speed, use momentum to land in Entertron
>>24933Yes, she is, and he's got a fair number on him now as well.
"Hey bub, listen up," comes a squeaky squirrel-voice from next to Infernius' ear.
>>24943Don't kill yourself with it
>>24946Some spider bites do that...
>should've known that the suit could only be worn by an assassin with poison immunity
>>24912Meanwhile, the City-state of Sparintenar is a sprawling and successful city full of,... embellished but less so amenities. There is plenty of places to eat and shop, all sporting nice-ish merchandise of a uniform variety. The food smells a little bland, but perfectly acceptable (as far as sustenance), and aside from a few tattered posters that can be seen along the corners of streets, there doesn't seem to be anything of note beyond the general 'basics'.
