And the Game must?! go on!
Tonight we find the party split. Trump, Tracy, and Taylor find themselves in a grand banquet hall with a gradually increasing number of stiff-backed military personnel, along with a variety of less-but-still disciplined civilians. The whole place reeks of rigidity and efficiency. All boots are shiny, all suits and uniforms are crisp and clean.
Meanwhile, Torcuil - who didn't die - prepares to venture forth with Infernius and Thez who just last night got engaged, no homo to wreck shop on an entire city of commies. "Isn't wanton killing evil" you might ask, to which I say "Not when its commies".
So then, let us begin,... again.

>>26124But its the communist banker
>>26127Communists don't have money, because they have nothing to spend it on. They only trade rations.
>>26122100
>>26120The expedition is cut off short, as you and crew come across a cave-in with a partially buried cart laden with gems. There's also an arm sticking out of the rubble, but it looks like its dead.
>>26128Bread dristrubitor = communist banker
>>26129"get back men me clear the way."
*grabs the biggest rock in the way and pulls*
>>26131Aaaaaand Infernius is buried in a pile of rocks
>>26132What I would say if I were there
"has anyone ever told you you'd make a good communist?"
>>26132I
knew that gas going to happen.
>>26133Before too long, (suffocation) the Gestapo is able to pull Infernius out of the rubble.
"Careful sir, this area seems dangerous. Its almost like it was built by commies. We can probably make progress and renovate the tunnels, but it will take time. More time than one measly day after your marriage certainly
congratulations btw"
So wait, where is everyone?
He continues, "Still, for there to be a cart laden with gems means that we should be able to extract a decent amount of resources from this mine, and that's assuming there aren't other ores, metals, and such.
>>26137Near the mess area, thats where the comfy chairs are.
Trollestia> "Banana?"
>>26137I'm frozen in time from last night.
Which is just fine, I need questions answered. But don't have fun without me
>>26136"thanks for pulling me out men tell the bartender drinks are on me tonight. and thanks for the congratz.
>>26138can i still see the cart?
>>26140Nope, that was a dangled carrot to indicate A. yes there's gems and B. lookit the shiny!
>>26138"Thanks, I'll take one"
Torc takes the offered banana.
"Infernius, can I talk to you a minute?"
>>26137Tracy is still sitting on her eggs, reading a book on Rocs and other monsters.
>>26142Infernius is being un-buried at the moment.
"Yeah, sure." Thez has a wicked headache.
>>26142im not at the tower right now. but im on the way back. but before i go back i go to the mining guild(do we have one of those?)
>>26145"Take your time"
Torc munches on the banana
peel included >>26146No actually, that's the only thing I can think of that a Port would NOT have.
>>26147"Uhhhh, any luck finding a Ranger-trainer?"
>>26148well im go to the police station and send 10 more guys over to durpistan(infernuisville)
>>26149We're gonna have to have a talk Inferius
Tracy, covered in sweat, walks into the dining area for a bit to fill her bag with meat.
[1d100 = 25]>>26152Trollestia lies in wait like a predator for the eggs to hatch in the 2 minute interlude
>>26149Infernius would be better off as a Lawful Evil conqueror, imo.
>>26155You think that about literally everyone
Except me
The person who it makes the most sense to be a lawful evil conquerer
>>26155if stuff keeps continuing to rob infernuis of his innocence he might end up that way.
>>26153You can tell that Thez knows something
>>26157>Except meI do all the time; like, every session. I just don't want to start any augments.
You should become a Blackguard. A Level 16 Fallen Paladin is a force to be reckoned with; seeing as how they that character would get all the bonus abilities for Fallen Paladins and then be able to trade in its levels to become an Epic Blackguard. (you could also summon that lawyer as your undead companion).
I only said it to Infernius just then, because I thought he'd listen. He's been slowly but surely assimilating the habits of his waifu.
>>26158You married her,.... Wha'd you THINK was gonna happen?
>>26164I really hate to say it, but This.
Still I am obligated to prevent further decline
>>26162There's also that benefit of Dark Blessing, to add the Charisma bonus to all saving throws...
>>26163"Uhhhh, I know that my head feels like there's a spike sticking out of it. I need a banana," she says, meandering toward the stables.
>>26166Legit temptingWe need to talk about Inferius
>>26167I would ask her this if my character were there:
"Thez, you said you were Geased. What was your Geas?"
>>26169Also since it's morning can I be there but also still in Sparintenar the previous night?
>>26167"Okay, there are plenty at the tower."
>>26169>>26170Fine, but I may throw in some things which 'would have and did happen, go with it cuz you were there'. Deal?
>>26164i didnt mean thez when i said this
>>26158 >>26172So long as I can also finish my conversation with Baz. I would have last night but I had to drive from home back to university
>>26164This.
He made a deal with the (former) devil, and even sacrificed a whole village to ratify it...
Then again, as long as he stays Lawful, he'd probably still be one step within Hitler's Alignment, so that he wouldn't lose his clerical powers so long as he followed Hitler's code.. The drawback to that would be that we wouldn't have anyone to cast Atonement if someone fucked up and lost their class-related powers, but a Helm of OA isn't hard to craft..
>>26172*i go back to the tower*
"hey ana heres that face you wanted!"
>>26173Oh. Well still.
>>26174That's okay. We'll flesh out the rest later.
>>26175This. Thez (and house) is (are) lawful in that they follow the Laws of Power
Oh, don't act surprised>>26176"Oh thank Hitler," taken and noms noms with salt.
>>26177Great! I'll ask Thez
"You said you were Geased, right? What was the Geas?"
>>26177"Aww... She took on her husband's religion"
Face goes from smile to a glare directed at Tracy.
>>26175 If she is in the room
>>26171You're in the tower. It was assumed that everyone returned.
"Yes I know. So what is it that you're asking about again?"
Trollestia peeks in: "Banana?"
Thez> "Yes, thank you."
>>26178"It was as I've mentioned, that I take the name of Thez rather than attributing myself to previous names of ancestry and lineage. I still
have those, but I no longer pronounce them."
>>26181"Just wondering if maybe your new surname is causing you headaches... Something seems off"
Wait. Was he told?
>>26182Yes, he and Infernius were present during that dialogue. It was over a week ago, I don't fault you for not remembering the specific convo (I forget them all the time). That was when Infernius and Trump heard her full name, from which Infernius adopted the pet-name "Ana"
>>26183No I mean was he told that they were married?
>>26182>surnameShe didn't change/take a surname, if that's your question. Its 'officially'
just Thez, though Ana et al are acceptable as being new names and those which she doesn't "go by" (but can answer to).
>>26183I think we're on "Saturday" in game when the conversation would have happened "Tuesday"... I think
I'll check my notes
What do I get for a 20 in perception check?
>>26184Probably not yet.
>>26171"Oh for fuck's sake, as the
unicorn you damn fool!"
Unicorn,... ancestral spirit of nature,...
Ranger,... servant/guardian of nature,...
>>26179Tracy is still sitting on her eggs.
>>26193"Hello little pony"
*Approaches depending on the level of steam, with no steam meaning he comes right up to her and puts his hand on her*
"So how was your night last night?"
>>26196"Depends, does that banana contain your ranger knowledge?"
>>26197"Its not that my knowledge is 'Ranger knowledge', its that the knowledge of Rangers is 'mine'."
not exclusively, but most preeminently, unless Torcuil wans to keep looking >>26190Wait, she's got seven levels in Cleric
and she's a Ranger? What's her CR?
>>26195When did he get back? Just for the record."Not very eventful.. I did manage to make some scrolls and other handicrafts though. It's been rather boring, but I just can't bring myself to get off of these things for long..."
>>26198>brain explodesDoes she have any weapons training?
I want the stealth and weapons
>>26199Morning, a bit later in the morning. After Nordfilly. Basically just now. He stayed the night in Sparintenar and left in the morning.
"Have you been on those eggs all night? You looked really eager to get back last night"
>>26200Oh, and some survival skills
>>26203*pets pony on head, and sits down next to her*
"So what have you been scrolling and crafting?"
>>26204" A True Strike scroll, a Heavy Mace, a Greatsword, a Helmet, a Cloak, a ring, a Belt and some boots (not at the same time). Most of it is nowhere near finished though. We don't even have the metals for the weapons.."
>>26205Sure
>>26199Its not that she
is a Ranger, its that she is the present authority on the aspects of being from which one
is a Ranger
>>26207Obviously my definition of ranger is different than yours
Actually that scroll should be done by now. May as well have her scribe another one.
>>26207Figured she was more of a Druid type, desu.
>>26206"Waaa... uh... Woah.
What kind of metals do you need? If what you need are metals like adamantium, well, we had some of that in the initial treasure stash. I had it set aside and stored away in the forge, so we'd have it for our crafting later.
Um... can I help with any needed divine spells?"
He now gives her a questioning look, turning hius head away, but his eyes toward her
"I would ask you what your intention with all of that was, but I'll just let you do your thing"
>>26208Oh? What is your definition?
>>26209"You can write? I didn't know you could scribe. Do you like hold the pen in a recess in a shoe, or hold it in your mouth..."
Trumpaladin realizes that he's just asked an extremely insensitive and kind of racist question, so he shuts up awkwardly
>>26211I'm imagining less of a 'nature montian man' and nature magic
And more of a person trained with a ranged weapon, a melee side arm, and stealth and basic survival skills.
>>26213you just described a rouge.
>>26213Well now you're talking about proficiencies and skills. Conan the barbarian was skilled in stealth, you don't need a Ranger to learn that.
>>26214Fucking this
I wish I had a Rogue Pony Waifu...
>>26218hey if you dont ask you never know.
>>26210>Full housewife mode>Le ebin multitasking*is stitching cloak while talking*
"Ugh, yeah. The Cloaks need Eagle's Splendor every day, and the Belts need Bulls Strength. I can only cast 1-2 spells per day, so it's hard to dovetail.
I was thinking of making the Helm out of Goldsteel for aesthetic purposes, although it'd be best to leave the rest of the Z casings in Lenos's forge, lest he come out looking for more. The Greatsword and the Mace I'm not so sure of , but they have to be something edgy. Some of these need spells from Taylor
and Infernius though, and they're always so busy..."
>>26212"I
can write, but I don't because it's tricky. Normally only unicorns write long, boring things like scrolls back in Equestria. This hand thingy makes it a lot more convenient though." *holds out Kefka's mummified hand*
>>26216.. She's a level 13 Rogue. What are you saying?
>>26219You'll never shine if you don't glow?
>>26220"Well hell, I can cast those two spells for you if you need me to.
Nah, take the casings out. I will say I think we spent all the gold... or it got stolen. But we should have steel.
I can do some charm spells as well."
Produces a bottle
"And I have this charm potion I lifted off Torcuil"
>something edgy*look that basically says "the hell is your intent?"
>Kefka hand"What the fuck?"
>>26224>Kefka handIt grants very minimal telekinesis
