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.

>>24951Has she made it to the Entertron.
>>24950Fascinating
Approach citizen, preferably anyone who looks like a business man
But first: what do the posters say? Inspect poster
>>24952Does the Entertron kill spiders?
>>24955No, but it'll keep her alive long enough to figure out the next step
or produce home-made antivenom. >>24956Could make her hysterical...
>>24957She's already hysterical.
To Infernius> Yeah you, we've got you guys by the balls. If you don't want to end up sprawled on the ground, bleeding from every orifice and pore, you'll do EXACTLY as We say.
>>24952Sure
>>24954The posters are faded and worn, and clearly allude to a festival/performance that is long since past, but show a purplish figure that seems a little familiar. By the way, Thez has wandered off.
*considers eatng hoers eyeball*
>>24959"ME EAT YOU ALL ALIVE!!!!!!!!"
INTIMIDATION CHECK
>>24959Talk to citizen, looking for one who looks like a businessman
>>24962It finally happened... Inferius rolled a 20
>>24959>healedWhat are the spiders doing?
>>24964He didn't say "healed"...
[5d20 = 51]>>24960Eat it, it grew back in the entertron.
>>24961"Have it your way bub," the squeak replies. (bite bite bite bite bite)
>>24964The ones on you? They're biting, successfully but unsuccessfully.
Aaaaaand Infernius loses consciousness.
>>24968Doesn't necessarily stop enemies from attacking...
>>24966*Transforms*
*kills spookers with fire*
>>24968Intimidation, yes. But you're not dealing with "your average" bunch of spooders.
>>24954Meanwhile
>>24954The posters depict a purple female with wings and a tail, bespeckled with gilt and monies, in a slightly suggestive pose. The writing seems to indicate a long since event.
>>24970Oh dear, it's worse than I feared. First, look into the skyline for any buildings that seem more prominent than the others
>>24969Okay, NOW Tracy can be said to be safe from getting knocked the fuck out. Imagine how difficult this would be if Thez HADN'T insisted on not untying him
*makes sure spooders are kill*
Walks back into room, and lights bull on fire with super-heated hoof*
>>24975*away quickly to avoid any spooders, and watches bull burn*
>>24974Shush, you're unconscious and dying
>>24977I'm SURE I've explained that at LEAST once
>>24975As Tracy emerges from the infirmary and into the main area, Thez flies into the entry like a bolt, and rolls off the momentum, before springing to her feet.
"HOOOORAYY!" she exclaims, before seeing Tracy (a little pale,... even for Tracy) "Uhm,... something happened didn't it?"
>>24981Look for important appearing building
>>24980I gotta gert rid of the spooders somehow
>>24981>*is standing next to burning bull*".... There was a spider... I think it's gone now though..."
>>24983Infernius is in the vault. This is interjected before Tracy is able to return to him, and takes place in the main hall area.
>spooder"I warned you about those, didn't I? (checks log) Yes! I specifically did!"
she storms off toward the vault, careful to walk on air and not the ground.
>>24987Meta spoilers - So far, assuming no spooders escaped while the vault door was (is) open.
>>24985Tracy follows, levitating with her shoes and flaming hooves
>>24987Unicorns are immune to poison.
>>24982There are several buildings that seem more important than others, but they all seem to pertain to guild halls, churches, and other civic congregational points. Nothing administrative or discretionary appears.
>>24990Walk towards a guild hall, try to find a person to engage
>>24989Thez storms into the vault, slamming the door behind Tracy. "SPOODER! I REALLY don't want to have to,... oh to hell with it. Tracy, set I'nis on fire."
>>24992*gladly obliges, leaving a hoof-shaped brand on his ass*
>>24991"Greetings good sir. You look unfamiliar. Is this your first visit to Sparintenar? Welcome! Can I be of service?" says a smiling fellow, just outside one of the civic centers.
>>24992flowcharts keep going down the current path.
Infernius burns for a minute, Thez picks him up (while burning) and then walks back to the door. She pauses at the entrance, and waits for Tracy to get position behind her. "Ready?"
>>24996"Nope, but just fuck it."
*follows*
>>24994"Hello! I am indeed a stranger to this town. I love the appearance so far. I come from Port Barry, and I believe I might have something to offer this town. Could you tell me about your trade, who runs it, how things have been working, and who I can talk to to make trade deals?"
>>24997The two quickly jump through the door, Thez intent on preventing any spooders from escaping, before stopping on the other side of the closed door. She's agitated and has a little trouble controlling herself. "Don't open the door! At least all his bits are inside the vault, which is warded against any dimensional/transportational interference. There's probably a spooder or two that escaped, so keep on your guard (keep the shoes on). I'll be back," <whooof>
>>25000Waifu thief boops one of his new waifus
Xp Upon <whooof> Thez drops Infernius in the Entertron, careful to smack any spots that have attached themselves. "Sorry spooder,..." before <whoof>
>>24998"You'd want to check with the Center of Commerce! I'm sure they'll be more than happy to discuss terms of any trade arrangement you wish to look over. That building is right over there," he points.
"Thez. Why U no say anything when I stayed behind and and explicitly said: 'but I wanna try on his suit'?"
>>25006She didn't know the suit was how he did anything, she just knew that there were spooders. She did say watch out for spooders.
>>25004"Thank you! But before I go, if you don't mind telling me... Do you feel like anything is missing in life? Like there's something you and everyone want, but this city does not have?"
Make note of building to which he points
>>25005True, just solidifying claims with still more digits
>>25006Tracy finds herself booped, from a great distance
>>25003Thez gets booped, from a distance
>>25006... spooder, spooder spooder spooder, blessed by lloth,... er,... spooders,....
I don't want to have to make her explanations unrealistically over the top myah,....
>>25008Oh dear, that technically includes Thez doesn't it. We'll put that on the backburner for now.
Alright. Tracy is outside the vault, hovering over the ground cuz thats safest.
Infernius wakes up in the Entertron.
Trump is still doing his thing in Sparintenar
Thez,... will show up in a few moments.
Still hoping to hear from Sad Alex, Taylor and Norfilly, but not holding my breath on those. The latter appears to have posted but not here (no bully) and the formers are a burgers so who fuggin' knows.
>>25013I can summon Nordfilly if you need to at some point. I can tell you he is asleep right now
>>25008 "The only thing 'missing' is some fine entertainment! We don't really have any time to invest in preparing or developing aesthetics, beyond a momentary suggestion or two, so if you know any entertainers, they'd be most welcome - and profitable - here in Sparintenar!"
>>25015"I see. Thank you!"
Goes to the Chamber of Commerce
Tracy contemplates returning to her eggs, but decides to hear-out what Thez has to say first.
>>25014No worries then, just wondering if he had abandoned the Game. No bully, again, but with increasingly less 'stronk-centered' gameplay, he/she could readily participate without (most) issues.
Trollestia is booped
Slovenia is booped
>>25017Thez whoofed away, but will probably be back soon.
>>25016As Trump is nearing the Chamber of Commerce, Thez comes streaking from the heavens like a bolt to <crash> into the ground near/in-front of him. She shakes off any dazed-ness and hands him a scroll. "I don't have time to explain. Just,... give them this. Insist its genuine." <whoof>
>>25019So many boops,....
>>25020Kek. I'm'a boop you too at some point
>>25021Accepts doubtlessly satanic scroll
"Thank you Thez, but one more thing before you go." Gets close to thez Very close. "Boop"
Goes into Building
>>25023[Pops out from behind a tree near trump]
"Boop"
>>25025If you go to Sparintar there's amazing opportunities for Entertainers there. They'll love performances
"boop"
>>25024*boops Tracy yet again*
>>25023GM accepts pre-<whooof> boop
>>25025Welcome back! I thought u might be scurred. Where is she anyway? I'd assume the tower, but I'm open to suggestion.
GM steps back a moment as the thread erupts in BOOPs
>>25025>>25027She was said to be performing concerts in the area as default. Couldn't she have gone to Sparitar herself?
>>25029Yes, but those concerts would have been low-effort, local things. Nothing that would involve economic or political maneuvering, just local affairs which would have endeared her to Port Barry. Anything more involved requires player input.
>>25030Yeah, but couldn't she have traveled, is what I'm saying?
>>25023>satanicOh shush, that's the scroll she said "that phrase" to get.
>>25025Thez flies in, crashes against the entry staircase and speeds off saying "Heygoodtoseeyoubutsorrytheresspooders,..."
*goes into workshop to look for gasoline or some other flammable liquid*
>>25032"How would you like to make a damned fine splash at the half-time show of Sparinitar's first big Football Game. Get your own recording contract too. Top 40's hits"
>>25033It's a pop-music recording contract...
>>25032Its a little late for that, he's in a completely different city at this point
>>25031Last time I attempted to emote characters I was quickly rebuked, so without any particular character guidelines I am unwilling to attempt to describe/dictate what characters are doing in the meantime, so no
>>25034Go to Slovenia. I bet you that lovely pony could make a flamethrower if you asked her
\r
>>25035T- top 40 its always been my dream. Just like godess Taylor.
>>25035Yes it is. And this is the city it pertains to. It wasn't called that at the time, so there might be a tad bit of confusion, but the posters (all considered) clearly depict Thez,....
As far as the situation in the Tower. All players are ourside the vault, and are healed from spooders. Thez suggested to be wary of stray spooders, but otherwise the source of spooder is locked in the vault. Players are
mostly safe (sorry Taylor, hope ur not scared of spooders).
>>25037She's a carpenter though... Why not?
"Hey, sister. I don't have very much time to chat, but do you have any gasoline or flamethrowers around here by any chance?"
>>25012hopefully ill drown in here.
Thez speeds up to Tracy. "You didn't let any out did you? Good!" she speeds away. A moment later she speeds up to Infernius' position in the Entertron.
"You, what're you doing in there? You look sad! What's the problem? Oh, you have some spooders on you."
>>25038"Sparintenar is the city of dreams. It's the best place to do it"
>>25039*Still goes into the Chamber of Commerce Building*
>>25043K. There are a variety of different sorts and shapes and sizes operating in various groups and lines, with occasional assortments of booths. There's a large table area that says "Information" at the front.
>>25047"Greetings sir, how can I help forward your request." the clerk says slightly monotone.
>>25049"Who may I speak to about a certain... recording contract? I have a scroll in my possession"
