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.

>>24748"Oh you're too kind! I'd LOVE some, and I'm not just saying that to avoid insulting my host's taste either! Extra sweet if you please?"
I've only got a bit before I have to go fore a while.
"Stick knife in spinal cord to make him quadriplegic, because why not? Then slice the lenses out of his eye.
>>24750>>24751Hmmmm....
"How would you like to hear about our lord and savior Hitler?
*pulls out pocket Mein Kampf*
>>24752Jesus. Holy shit.
>>24752And now he's dead.
"Don't un tie him,...." Thez sing-song mentions.
>>24753He dioesn't respond to pain, so what's the use in him having nerves?
>>24754REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>24755Cure serious doesn't heal THAT much damage,....
>>24754RIP
Can I loot his shit now? Just tell us what he has and I promise I'll save most of it for Inferius and Torcuil
>>24755I guess he needed it to stay alive. Want to revive him so we can starve him? He'll be screaming the whole time after we do it
>>24756Um... RESSURECT? He's been dead not long
>>24757She said not to untie him.
>>24759You didn't leave us a choice
>>24757Can I try again at paralyzing him? There has to be a spinal section Tracy can stab him in that'll only leave him paralyzed from the the neck down.
"... Oops..."
*cuts head off*
>>24761Damn it let me resurrect him!
>>24757In order to loot his shit, you'll have to untie him. In order to take him to the entertron, you'll have to untie him OR wait for Torcuil to come out of a coma OR wait for Infernius to present himself.
>>24758I think you mean Raise Dead, which again requires Infernius. "Unless you want to ask Lenos,... which I also don't recommend doing."
>>24762He doesn't need his head for that.
Nevermind, Raise dead won't work now. Its Resurrect, or Entertron.
Next time he dies without being useful, I'm taking his soul.
>>24763Alrighty then....
*waits for Inferius*
"Thez... you sure you don't own a horse"
*looks at her*
"damn it I am not going to try to fuck it"
>>24764For the spell of ressurection or raise dead, yes he does
>>24766Have you not been listening to anything? It was clearly stated that the one way to wear down his will is to let him starve. He needs to be alive for that, and it will take a while
>>24767>head is the baseThen could we resurrect him from his head and leave his body and gear separate?
>>24768Only through the Entertron, although that might result in the original body disappearing. I'd prefer Inferius to Raise Dead so we never have to untie him.
>>24768I really hope that if he is resurrected, he'll be too hysterical to teleport out before we can shackle him
>>24767Only way that Thez knows of*
>>24767Raise dead, yes; Resurrection/Entertron, no.
>>24767"I'm sure there's probably a basic riding horse in town. Why," she says adopting a slightly sarcastic but otherwise cute demeanor, "You don't want a ride?"
>>24768Meta - its technically possible, but no. It would take far longer to research, set up, and produce the environment and tools necessary to do that.
Non-meta - No
>>24769>might result in the original body disappearingSo? What's the problem with that?
We could put his head in a barrel or steel keg, and resurrect him inside of it.
>>24772"That,... that might actually work," Thez says, surprised.
>>24773~Yay! I found an idea autistic enough to be plausible.
>>24772I never said there was a problem, I just assumed you wanted a head because head
>>24774"Resurrection? Only Infernius and Torcuil. BUT, if we cast his body in iron and
then throw him in the Entertron, that might keep him from whatever tricks he might have up his sleeves."
>>24777Thez blushes with a wink. "Shall we fit him for a body-cast first?"
>>24774"What if we just do it with his head only? Then we can loot his clothes as the rest of the body turns to dust."
*holds out severed head*
>>24779Better yet, fit him for a body cast. Remove the body, only leave the head inside, and then let him grow a new body that fits to the cast.
Ah, shoot.. I g2g for 30 minutes to an hour now..
>>24780"Well, the Entertron will simply re-grow his body, but there would be nothing detaining him at that point. If he's anchored to a barrel of heavy metal, we can be sure he doesn't go anywhere upon being revived."
>>24781This
>>24778I did not know that was possible. Is the sample what is used as the base for the new body?
>>24779"Sure, and put the dimensional shackles on him, since I found a different kind of shackle for the person I originally wanted to use those on"
>>24780"Nah, let's keep him shackled and tied up. Don't let his new body be free"
>>24781Or that, but you'd need to mold out a cast and that will take forever
>>24783Um... Trumpaladin does the thing
>>24784Yes "Yes"
>>24784"Good idea, though how does one shackle a head?"
>>24784"I never said make it comfortable, it can be as small a hole as we wish to cram him in."
K, so Thez acquires a reasonable amount of molten Iron from the forge, as well as one of the large crucibles. Placing the head inside, but tilted upward, she fills the crucible until the metal is just (just!) below the jaw. "There. Let that cool, and then pop him in the microwave. He'll undoubtably die if pulled out of there, but it should keep him alive and awake for whatever questions," Thez wonders for a moment, and then shrugs her shoulders.
Okay, Trump does the thing, and Thez assists.
>>24786"Pulled out of the Entertron? I might need that for pirates"
>>24787But he can remain the man in the mask indefinitely
>>24788"Well, he can be put back in of course,.... Come to think of it, putting him in, taking him back out, repeat might weaken his resolve much faster, and would avoid addressing how he's supposed to get hungry if his revived self is compressed into a very small space."
>>24789"I... Don't know why that would work, but I am also not the group expert on enhanced interrogation techniques. I'll leave the good-challenged members of the group to it. Do the thing, if you think it will work"
>>24790"You saw how the pirate responded, imagine having that happen over and over again (and over and over). Still, sounds boring to me. I think its safe to assume he's not going anywhere (head or torso) anytime soon. Did you still want to venture to Sparintenar or Cardashil? This has dragged on a bit and I wanna get some fresh air."
>>24791"But of course, to Sparintenar"
*grabs Football and Superbowl recording first*
I'll need to go a few minutes though >>24792Thats fine, I could use the opportunity/break myself
>back for a bit
So, when we resurrect him, will his original body turn to dust?
>>24794"Doubtful. He's not a magical beast, so it'd probably just keep rotting."
>>24795No poison, but she does detect the scent of gunpowder.
>>24793Back!
>>24795"Little pony, can you hand me Kefka's head"
>>24798*hits pony with rolled up newspaper* >>24799"Who knows? There's a ton of ways to cheat death in the Game. He could have a Resurrection trap-scroll on his chest that fully restores him the moment light bounces off of it, and that's just off the top of my head."
>>24800Kefka's... head?
>>24801"little pony... um... would you like to eat some leftover bird with me later?"
>>24802*fills bucket with water*
*drenches body from head to toe, dampening any explosives*
>>24803Yes, Kefka's head. The pony has it in her bag of holding in a way that preserves it
[1d20 = 6]>>24803Rolling Search to detect Traps.
Thez is triggered, "I don't suppose you guys have ever seen Futurama?"
>>24807Passes note to pony
"Do you want to go to Sparentinar with me. Check yes or no"
[1d20 = 16]>>24808>nothingAww..
I'll wait until he grows the new body first.
>>24808Where exactly are you searching? The severed leg parts, or along the still-attached leg?
>>24810"I want to hatch these chicks first.. but if that what you
really want, I guess I could accomodate.."
>>24812Everything.
>>24813Okay. The smokebombs were near the ankles of his legs. That's severed, so I can readily mention. Anything else is thoroughly doubled-over with rope.
>>24813"I can just call you if I need you"
>>24814Use keen edged letter opener to open left leg pants
>>24817The ones bound to the chair? Nothing is apparent on his legs.
The slice slowly mends its self together.
>>24817It regenerates, remember? It's some kind of creeping spooder silk.
>>24819Doe he have like a visible bag or sword sheathe?
>>24821Everything is under ropes.
>>24821"His sheathes were confiscated with his weapons (which aren't here by the way, they were taken by the Gestapo)"
>>24824You mean Kefka right? Cuz as for Darkie, Folks just call him Buckethead
Ha! >>24824I thought she gave the headdress to Taylor?
>>24828If you're going to bucket him like Darkie, you can quick-jump cut-to if you want
>>24823Make note to go pick up those Assassin tools later on.
>>24830Wait, is he resurrecting Kefka?
>>24832That's all I could imagine he intends to do, given the previous - GM
Tracy help-out Thez with whatever it is she's doing to prepare the cast, eager to speed things up.
>>24834Its not yet confirmed that thats his intention. I'm waiting for confirmation to quick-jump cut-to.
>>24836But get a bag for the head or something first
>>24835I don't think it'd be wise to do them both at the same time, or at all really..
>>24838"Oh I see, he plans to present Kefka's head to Sparintenar, so to gain easier entry," Thez says. "Not a bad strategy."
Tracy rips out the spinal cord from the severed head stump, like in mortal combat.
>>24836Thez produces a short length (about 8') of rope and ties it to her big, shiny belt that Infernius acquired for her, then offers the other end to Tracy. "When we Woooof, you'll want to start immediately flying to maintain course and speed." She approaches Trump and puts his hands around her waist.
"You'll want to hold on," she warns with a wink.
>>24847"B-but.. I wanna try on his suit..!"
>>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'.
