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.

>>26225I'm guessing you're also in the stables?
*puts away potion*
>>26226I know that but Trumpaladin will always express an aversion to keeping human body parts
>>26223all that glitters is goldsteel.
>>26229"You were going to use it on me for nefarious purposes. No. Besides, I failed to take your other two bottles."
>>26214Rogue here: ranger is actually just as good, if not better at stealth. They also get more survival stull.
Rogue's biggest pluses are Trap sense and Sneak Attack.
>>26224"... I don't think Lenos is going to buy that.. I've got other things to work on first. I'd like to at least get working on the mace though."
>the hell is your intent"I want them to look badass"
>What the fuck?"I know, right. Dead bodies aren't normally useful like this, but that cosplaying freak had so much magic in him that it had a little bit left over. I don't think he was even hoo-man."
>>26231"Be ready to sic this nerd here if he tries something"
>>26230>ebilBy fixing your relationship?
Gm, if Tracy levels up as a Blackguard, can she make one of these birds her fiendish servant, instead of summoning one?
>>26235That wasn't your intent the entire time?
>fiendishWe'll have to work on that
>>26231"Why would Lenos care if the gold cores were taken? I raided the treasury a couple months ago and he was indifferent"
>>26238hes our ally so he didnt mind you taking from it. but dragons really REALLY hate being stolen from.
>>26240True. The question now is if he would care if Tracy took the cores to make gold-steel. Of course what she is really concerned about is that he might afterwards wonder into the vault if those are removed, but Trumpaladin doesn't know that.
>>26239>>26235"Tracy..."
Also, I just realized that ponies can wear boots.
>>26236It's literally just a bit of damage resistance.
>>26238"Well, if you think of it, the only reason Lenos hasn't found out about the burglary yet is because he has a sufficient stack of metal in the forge to allow him to keep sitting on his ass and never come out. The moment he runs out of metal in there and finally comes out for more, is the same moment this whole tower goes up in flames."
>>26242"I see. But Torcuil is getting hostile."
>>26242"this unfortunately, tracy what happend to the drows head?"
>>26244Are you in the Stables?
"Inferius, Torcuil is threatening me. He wants that potion back we took from him when he tried to use it on you"
>>26241>if he would careHe wouldn't mind at all, but that dragon is functionally a timebomb, with his supply of metal as the timer. I don't know what kind of character he is, but I get the vague notion that he could potentially be the kind that would burn down half the map to find the dirty sandniggers who stole his treasure.
>>26244"Its in a bucket," Thez says, feeling better after eating a face.
>>26243>wants stolen potion back>hostile"Ive changed my mind. Tracy I know make magical sex toys. Wanna test the strap-on with your husband over there?"
>>26245"I wasn't going to use it on you. Just trump and Tracy"
>>26245yea i came in awhile ago.
>>26248"for what purpose?"
>>26247can i use talk with dead on it?
[1d20 = 7]>>26246He wasn't using the Jew Gold to begin with. He uses metal imported through the Port and through Ben
>>26248"That's not what you said at the time
Quick Draw Vanderiem, with ten ranks in Intimidate
INTIMIDATE Torcuil
Draw BEES ring shield
>>26244"Oh hey, Infernius, would you mind cursing this sword hilt?"
>>26252"Cursing? The hell are you cursing?"
>>26249"To try and fix their relationship. But you didn't need any help with thez"
>>26251>implying he cares >>26250Yes actually. "We were gonna stick it in the Entertron, but the spell is much less risk."
[1d20 = 15]>>26251grapple
"hold on let him finish."
>>26251The Jew Gold was in the vault with the rest of the metal, wasn't it?
>>26253"I wan't to make a Berserk Sword, so I can use a Barbarian's Rage when things get sticky."
>>26251You could have 19 ranks if you were a Blackguard.
>>26257"The hell does that need a curse for? And why is the wind in Korak's sword not good enough?"
>>26256"The fuck Inferius, he's about to attack me!"
>>26257Oh gee. A shame you nerfed being a barbarian then isn't it? e_e
>>26260"I never fucking said I was gonna attack you, I just want my potion"
>>26260"shh shh you just paranoid, no one wants to hurt you we all friends here this safe space."
>>26262"You said you were going to use it on Inferius. Fuck off. You have two bottles anyways"
>>26263"What are you doing?"
>>26264>>26265"calming the situation. im a doctor jim."
>>26266>>26265*Gives look*
"Just keep him away from me"
>>26258Are you even Proficient in it? Clerics are only Proficient in the Martial weapons of their Favored Deity.
>>26268Are you proficient in great swords?
>>26268"Tracy! Don't let him get the potion!"
>>26260"Koraks sword is good, but it's a little small for some of the bigger targets we might face. It's cursed because it's edgy."
"torc go get another potion."
>>26273"TRACY, IN THE NAME OF ELWAY, CHRIST, HITLER, HER MAJESTY AND THE CONTINENTAL CONGRESS PAY ATTENTION TO THE THREAT TO YOUR HUSBAND FROM TROLLESTIA'S BITCH RIGHT HERE"
>>26271*hops down and sprays both of the offending players with the Rod of Sneezes*
Thez looks around at the group and wonders who to nerf. "Torcuil is chaotic, Infernius is chaotic, Tracy is chaotic,...."
"Kek," she says holding the night-blue stone.
>>26277Which players? Me and torcuil or Inferius and Torcuil?
>>26276>>26262"would you be happy if torculi accepted a geas that said he cant harm you? and would torc accept such a thing?"
>>26271Can Tracy use Potions of Rage as substitute for the Rage spell, or will she have to get Taylor or someone else to help her every day?
>>26281"Geas is harsh. I just want to keep the potion and be left alone"
>>26280>Inferius and TorcuilIs what she would've done.
"I still have the other stone,...."
>>26283Did the Rod do anything? I promised not to stab players..
>>26301
Was, but just for kicks. She undid it, she just wanted the satisfaction. She's been in a weird mood for days now.
>>26303Oh no, she better not be...
>>26304I don't follow
>>26305You're really not helping
>>26305I'm just going to assume that Trumpaladin sees this.
He's left wondering why it wasn't Thez
>>26307But Trump did say it
>>26308She just disappeared during the danger. She has to do this
>>26279She's not Chaotic (yet).
>>26308She just realized it was a bad idea..
>>26312Also, I'm an idiot and didn't realize Thez was there.
>>26312So... you attack her husband, who was not the one who just incapacitated
your husband?
>>26313Uh... I'll accept that explaination
>>26313"Tracy, did you just vanish while I was incapacitated?"
Thez yawns. "Sorry, its been a while since I've had a good "good" excuse to floor anyone. Don't let me stop you, just make sure that there's some kind of residue or there'll be TWO absent traces of residue! in the morning."
She hops over to Infernius. "Thanks again for the face," she kisses him.
>>26317"I.. I was just trying to.. get a clean shot.."
*drops blackjack and hangs her head, ashamed of her faggot's incompetance*
>>26320you said Thez was actimg weird, so I assumed pregnancy
>>26318*DEATH GLARE at Thez*
>>26319"Tracy, if I am incapacitated like that, I, by definition, cannot defend myself. And if you flee from danger after that happens..."
sadness with anger
>>26322Now
that would be terrifying.
Good thing they used protection.
>>26323"I, I wasn't fleeing! I was just waiting for the right moment..."
I think it's a good time now to explain
Ah, I can wait 12 minutes
>>26322Thats a bit of a leap o_O
>>26323"What?"
>>26326"Speaking of the right moment... Tracy, can you leave the eggs and the stable for a minute?"
>>26329"Who the hell uses protection? I certainly don't"
>>26334Kek!
>>26336*returns high five, with enthusiasm*
"What do you guys mean 'protection'? You mean like, weapons?"
>>26323My brain works weird
>>26332>>26334>>26336>>26337Kek
Torc gets tired of this bullshit and heads to town
>>26339"Sex with females. They can get pregnant otherwise. Even if they are entirely different species apparently"
>>26334Shit, I wish I had turned trips on for that
>>26337Oh dear.
>>26339Good lord...
>tfw have to play diligently"Yeah, what is this 'protection' you guys talk about? Is it like a knife? Can I have it?"
>>26341"That's absurd, I'd have to be... non... infernal... for,...." her voice trails off, as she suddenly realizes,... things.
>>26342"No little pony, you cannot"
And see
>>26331>>26343*blows a kiss at Thez as she leaves*
>>26345"if you ever do that again i will end you!"
>>26345She's not leaving, she's standing there silently, her mouth agape and a stunned expression.
>>26331"I'd
really rather not... (she doesn't want to leave them with Troll) What's it about?"
>>26348"Alrighty then... I really think I should tell you this somewhere more private. It's something you really ought to know"
Remember how we said there was story that took place off-board that you were not privy to? >>26346*In a baby voice*
"I love you so much too, Inferius"
>relationship bullshit
Good, I don't nee to be here
Night guys
I've got <4 minutes so I'll wrap up my part for the night. You all can smite/kill/w/e.
Thez glares daggers at Infernius "I had better not be,...."
Tracy, now that she thinks about it, can definitely detect a shift in Thez' aroma/pheramones.
Torcuil gets a gold star for being the first to deduce,....
Yes. There have been a number of dice rolls that I've been keeping under wraps for meta,... but that IS one of them.
"Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu,...."
Well, apparently the more dramatic of conclusions 'never happened', which means no one gets the dramatic and exhaustively thorough explanation I was working on. I'd be remiss if I didn't say I was disappointed.
>>26484Please save it somewhere. I'll need it at some point.
>>26482Damage is already done.
>>26485I haven't written it yet. I'll think about it.
In the meantime, I will offer a video (watch at 1.25x speed).
https://youtu.be/4cbWfUtrRsQI don't recommend the channel, but this video was decent and the topic directly pertains to the situation.
When the books say a Paladin's mount's Command ability is treated as the Command Spell, which spell are they referring to? I can't find any spell with that name.
>plan didn't work
Well, it was worth a try
GM, can my next moves be in PM? These fuckers want to come after me, they'll have to find me first
>>26485I spent a month working on this fucking relationship
>>26492I'll fix it somehow.. it's no fun for me either if everything is fucked. I can make new charts; I was just salty and tired last night: there won't be a Punishment Game.
Idk what's going to happen next though.
>>26484Looks like Tracy's not playing that way, but Thez is going to have to give the speech separately to separate people, because they are all seperated. Tracy is on the eggs in the stable, Torcuil is approaching the tower, Inferius is restrained in Torcuil's cave, and Trumpaladin is somewhere else, but where she can find him
[1d100 = 46]
Imma' roll to hatch the eggs, since it'd be late afternoon in game time.
I still have to work though..
>>26497Nope
I guess it's unwise to hatch creatures prematurely anyway. I want these birds to be superior creatures.
>>26498You're still planning for the future?
There is no future anymore
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClQcUyhoxTg Trumpaladin will be waiting out in his hiding hole. Maybe just barely in range for empathic link. He'll probably call Tracy as Cauchemar if he feels it is right
Has Slovenia had the chance to renovate the stables yet? Does she sleep in there?
>>26509She's been assigned to work on siege engines, which would take her a few days, so I'm guessing she has not. She sleeps in an extra room.
>>26511How many extra rooms does this tower have?
On another note, I'd like to have Tracy set a few snare-traps for small animals in the forest. She'll need them later on.
>>26512Well, I'd assume the Tower has enough rooms for a full set of players, which is substantially more than the six or seven here. Also, Tracy and Torcuil never use their rooms. Slovenia is also entirely welcome to share a bed with Trumpaladin.
>Tracy lets Trollestia watch over the eggs while she goes out for several hours to trap animalsShouldn't we resolve the pony-nuclear meltdown issue first?
\r
>>26511Also:
>French hat; French CMIt'd be okay to use fleur for the base of her design, but it'd also be better to recolor her mane and give her an original cutie mark; why not one that matches her name?
>>26513Tracy keeps most of her bones in her room, but the stables are more comfortale for a pony.
>>26513I have all the charts on freeze until I figure out wtf happened, but I still want to do shit.
Also, setting several simple traps would take an hour or two at best.
>>26514Because "Slovenia" is not her actual name...
>>26515>Trollestia will only be watching over the eggs for an hourThat may be all it takes
>stables are more comfortable for a ponyBut Slovenia is an Equestrian, and they live in houses. Also, Tracy needs to sleep with Trumpaladin. She keeps claiming they are "legally married," but they don't even live together. They can't even begin the process of being common law married
>>26515Actually, I think an arrangement can be made, pretty easy. If Tracy is up for it, she can sleep in the stables and have dungeons and things, while a different pony is Trumpaladin's queen who sleeps with him at night
\r
>>26517I didn't say she did it now. I'm just preparing stuff.
I did a recolor for woodpone.
>>26520Some drafts to distract myself from DoomPauling...
How does Sad Alex's class work? He asked for "Angel Summoner", but idk how that's executed. Other than that, he asked for all of the item-creation feats when we were taking about Feats, so I think Loremaster (Sorcerer/Wizard as base) would be the most appropriate class for him, given the real Alex's career in revealing "secrets" to the world. I figured he'd be Chaotic Good as well, but again that's all up to him.
>let's talk about anything but what happened last night
>>26523Yeah, a Divination-specialized wizard would work very well for him as his base (give up Illusion School to Break Conditioning).
>>26524Or a Bard for that matter.
FUCK YES!
I do get a charisma bonus to my saving throws!
I'm gonna need it
>>26522What program are you using?
>autism intensifys>>26484I wanna read it
>>26526I can't be bothered to look through ID's
Who are you and why do you need it?
>>26526Through which class-ability (curious)?
>>26527I am Trumpaladin
I need the +4 modifier on saving throws because reasons.
>>26528Ah, Divine Grace. Didn't see that earlier.
>>26528Divine Grace, which appears at level 2. Unfortunately the modifiers are not shared with the mount, only the base saving throw...
>>26529>+4Damn, is it cause of class?
>>26532Well, one of the Paladin class features allows the charisma modifier to apply to saves. I do think that is unique to Paladins. The +4 is because I have 18 charisma. I think Eagles Slendor could add another +2 to the modifier
>>26533He has 15 Char, doesn't he? That should be a +3 modifier.
>>26535I recall it being 16, then I added two more to it to make it 18
>>26538It should be at a 14 now, although I think it's only that high because of SUPER. MALE. VITALITY! RAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!
Actually, what are Tracy's stats (in pony form)?
>>26539Those worked, seriously? Tracy received three bottles of Brain Force from him, that I never bothered to use on her.>>26540GM accepted it for the Kefka fight... I'm less sure about outside of that contextI remember her having 19 dexterity
>>26541Yeah, due to my poor allocation...
I'm more interested in Wis and Int though.
This is going to sound stupid, but can the Tower's synthesizer generate live (extra blue) creatures? As in, chickens?
>>26542Which multi class did you decide on? Blackguard or assassin?
Also, just go to the market and buy some chickens
>>26543She has two levels in BG and One in Assassin.
>>26545But... But but I identified some Russian spam on a different board (even if a different mod is the one who banned him...)
>>26546you get some gbp for that.
but seriously though why did you delete the posts?
>>26549My post
>>26507 more or less captures my line of reasoning at 2:00 AM last night...
>>26507>>26550you know the games not over if pcs die right they can roll new characters.
Tracy casts Darkness on another one of her kunai.
She then gets to work on one more True Strike scroll.
>>26550Can't you bring it back then?
>>26551Yeah but that negates like two months of work
>just noticed that the posts are gone
Oh...
>>26556No. We have two forms of deletion, "permanent deletion" and "shadow deletion." The latter is really a thread and post hiding action that makes the posts visible only to mods, and are automatically deleted after 24 hours (formerly 6). This is the only form of deletion available to janitors, although mods, SysOps, and Admins can permanently delete posts, which is actual deletion. User deleted posts generally permanently delete, although very recently code was added that allows user deleted posts to be shadow deleted instead, changed on a per board basis in config. Back ups allegedly occur every now and then, but I've never seen anything out of them
I permanently deleted the posts
>>26559dude please stop deleting post itt.
>>26560>>26561>>26562I've spent like two months on this. I don't want to lose it all from speaking a single sentence in one off-campaign night. What else could I do?
>>26563We can collectively decide on what to and what not to keep/accept later, but deleting the posts doesn't really make anyone more secure in what happened.
Whatever. I'll be in my fortress, should anyone need to find me
>>26565i would but im restrained in a cave.
>>26566If you want, Torc will free you
>>26568you dont want to do that.
>>26571Because he's in an extreme state of emotional distress
