As we join the party for this round of tomfoolery, Infernius is residing comfortably in the Tower. Tay is also, despite a rebuke from Thez, and likewise Torcuil is resting comfortably.
On other fronts, several of Trump's Generals have been burned alive by acid, while others feebly attempt to fend off a dragon with their bows. Trump and Tracy speed in to aid the scenario, while Fae attempts to direct combat and help PCs and NPCs alike to live another day.
Welcome back to the Game, we're in the middle of murder so please don't mind my lack of descriptions/invitations, lets continue shall we?

Tracy's faggot: the plan is to kill all of the trolls, burn their encampment, and then look for a way to lure out the dragon or go back into its lair.
Hopefully all bodies were recovered at least in part
>>28014nigger what did i just say?
The only way I can think to involve Inferius is to send out a pigeon to the tower requesting help to kill a Black Dragon in the swamps southwest of Port Barry
\r
>>28012Spooder!
>>28013*flammenwerfers
At least it isn't a cockroach
>>28017man i fuggin hate roaches.
>>28018She's useful in tracking. I'm pretty sure I'm going to have to switch over to riding her in a minute
>>28014Where do you wanna put the bodies while you're burning down the troll camp?
>>28020send a pigeon this way then i guess.
>>28021Tracy loves taking human remains and putting them in her bag, except when there's actually a reason to do it?
If that won't work, set them down on the ground away from the dragon's bog and get them after the trolls are kill
>>28017Creepy black spooders r bad
Dun tho
Also I warn, 'my' movie won movie night, so I'll be distracted during
>>28023Trumpaladin needs to make up for the embarrassment or die in the process. Tracy values nothing above not dying. This conflict of interests makes the necessary cooperation impossible
>>28022Sends pigeon
Extra words
"Prepare many acid resistance potions. Bring gold coins. Be careful not to scare dragon as it hides well"
>>28026howard the duck was supposed to win!
>>28024You want to put the hummans in the bag covered in acid with all those sharp objects?
Sure.. She'll do it.
>>28027Oh well shit. If the whole party is invited, it won't be but a thing. Its only a young-adult
>>28030Get fucked you heathenous bastard Xp
>>28029Don't make me regret this
>>28028"torculi what this note say?"
>>28032>Its only a young-adultCould try to make a deal, desu. He'll probably back down at a major threat.
No, I don't want the whole party
Tracy, just go attack the dragon
>make a deal with the dragon
The deal is we kill it, and take its corpse and treasure
[1d20+5 = 21]>>28037>doesn't know where it isTracy furtively and carefully wanders around the bog, looking for signs of the Dragon.
"Hey, Skullface! Get out here!"
Rolling to Spot
[1d20+5 = 10]
Rolling Listen too
Swallows acid resistance potion
>>28037At current, the Generals have fallen back to the Troll-camp position, while the Trolls themselves have fled the hoomans.
The dragon is still in the bog, either waiting or biding its time, while Tracy/Trump and Fae swoop around gathering visual intel (which isn't really anything, cuz black dragons breathe water).
>>28043Why do I get the impression that that preceeds
something foolish a significant action?
>>28045See
>>28040Tracy is looking for it, taunting it to show itself/talk. while Trumpaladin tracks down the Trolls on Fae.
>>28044"Damn it, we need to make some acid resistance potions"
>>28045I wasn't, buys that's a good idea
>>28047Too right, it was a resistance spell (same as potion) that allowed Thez to survive Lenos' breath weapon, otherwise she'd have been goo (which, she still would have reconstituted from, but it would have taken months,... ask me how I know that)
>>28046I had intended Trumpaladin to still be onTracy in the big while Fae is tracking down and killing Troll children, but... I don't know
If Trumpaladin is riding Tracy:
>"Go ethereal and go inside of the bog, or I will jump off of you and go in the bog myself to find him" >>28046Did Skullface respond at all?
>>28049>ask me howWill that sidetrack the gameplay?
>>28049golly gee gm how would you ever know that?
>>28051>skullface responseNo. Have you ever been under water while ppl were talking outside? You can hear that. Dragons have 10x hearing (per the book). It knows you're there (though not who or what you are).
>>28051>>28052Because I've crunched the numbers, more than once.
>>28047"torc how long the potions take?"
>>28056"trump and tracy might be in trouble."
[1d20+1 = 9]>>28053*stomps hooves*
>SHOUT"HEY, SKULLFACE!!! I know you're down there, bitch! Let's have a word!"
Roll for Diplomacy
>>28054>'I don't have any bits on me. Give me a bit to get him to come out..." >>280551 day per spell and caster level (I.e. 4 days for a 4th level spell at 4th caster level, or 4 days for a 2nd level spell at 6th caster level; spell level can't exceed required caster level for spell, etc.)
*considers swallowing the alcohol flask now*
>>28063>acid shieldUhm, which one now? I'm not finding that spell
>>28065a spell that protects from acid damage.
[1d20 = 14]
Trumpaladin now tries diplomacy
"Mr. Dragon, we were just looking to pass through around this bog, we meant no harm. Surely we can work out an arrangement"
>>28067There's Protection from Energy, and Resist Energy.
The one provides 12 points/caster-lever of damage resistance for a single strike, and the other provides 10dmg/round resistance (up to 20 at 7th level and 30 at 11th) for 10 min/level
I once unironically stopped a gator from catching me by booping it on the nose. This'll be fun if it works.
>>28069ok good since torculi is afk i grab him and call
out uatchit "thez our family is in trouble."
>>28071"For real? Not just bullshit drama?"
>>28070For real? That's fukkin awesome!
>>28071*when he says this thez can sense some of old infernuis*
Is there any response to either Tracy's attempt at diplomacy or mine?
>>28075"You're discarded my gifts. Why?"
>>28076Of course not, its a native dragon. Do you expect to be invited for tea? Its looking to survive and eat.
>>28078What about opportunities to make a load of money?
>>28077"thez i want to have a long conversation but we do not have the time. ill give you the quick version i was angry sad and hurt that you didnt want my child, and i wish i hadent been that way please forgive me i love you."
>>28079Try it. Try it. Try it. TRY IT!
>>28079Yes, try it, dragons love money
Think of it this way, he's a young dragon, of a species that loves metal coins, his only assets are his estate and whatever treasure lies beneath the bog. Since he's young, he probably wants nothing more than to have his own, personal hoard of metal coins. What if, just what if, he were taught a lesson on how to make money off of his equity, in the developing world?
>>28080>glares"Oh so now you wanna talk? Well that's good, 'cuz I've got plenty to say you,... fuck it, lets just handle business for now."
>>28084Jesus Christ. Just tell the dragon you want to pay it 40,000 shekels for safe passage back
So here's the thing. He's a young adult, who semi-recently inherited a somewhat large estate, but he hasn't really used it for anything except hunting, because he lives in medieval times. Black dragons aren't ambitious as Reds or Blues, but they're incredibly opportunistic, they're known to ask hoomans for hidden treasure hoards before killing them; so we could have some fun here if he's willing to listen.
Since he's not that old and not that big, his treasure hoard is mediocre at best. He probably dreams of having his own underwater cavern full of gold, but it'll take him a century to acquire that much through theft alone.
What if, just what if, he could be convinced to fully exploit his property and develop his swamp into a local range/resort? It only stinks because he's been corrupting the water with his magic, but could be very attractive to travelers who visit the port from afar if developed properly, being so close to the local Football field. With modern knowledge or real-estate practice, he could potentially make more money than he could ever dream of through medieval means.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mar-a-LagoIt'd require a good Diplomacy check though, with an exceptionally professional deal-maker.
>>28086If all else fails, we could just sneak the wounded soldiers out while he's distracted thinking about modern business practices.>>28087(not for the obvious reason either, Lenos is part Black Dragon)
>>28089"okay lets go gilly <3"
*lovey dovey eyes*
"have i ever said that your cute when you are mad."
>>28091"Well I guess you know,... nevermind, lets just go," arms crossed, angry-face.
To Tracy, through the empathic link. He seems hysterical, like about to break down
>"Jesus tap dancing Christ. You had no difficulty lying to me about the horses. You had no difficulty lying to me about the cores. You're a fucking rogue with "bluff" as a special talent. But now, NOW, the first time in the several months here that lying is a useful skill, you refuse to do it. What the hell is wrong with you? Do it, or I will
>"And the ethereal ness. What the hell? For months you've been like "oh I can go ethereal inside of an enemy's body and shit." Now we ask you to go ethereal into water - water! - to try to find the dragon and let us attack it underwater, and you refuse? What the hell
>"Either this dragon dies tonight or I do. I'm jumping into the water if you don't do anything to go after that dragon"
>>28091>>28092Well, its better than the whore being gone and Darth Infernius trying to kill Torc...
Anyway, sorry bout disappearing
>>28095you better not saying anything like that in char m8. lets you piss off darth infernuis again.
>>28094Se's already done all of that. She's watching the water for signs from the dragons movements atm.
That stuff was just a meme-tier, non-canon idea about a business proposal that would be hilarious if it actually worked. The objective is to distract the dragon long enough to sneak the wounded through, and buy time for the others to arrive.
>>28092"okay. we taking your ride or mine?"
>>28095Tay didn't die. Thez just scarred her off for a bit, and her player got tired.
>>28097i mean that business idea was pretty good.
>>28099Well I know that.
Can Torc cast Acid Resistance?
I have a terrible idea...
>>28094>oh I can go ethereal inside of an enemy's body and shitShe never said that; those were my ideas. I put all character dialogue in quotes.
Trumpaladin Jumps off of Tracy and into the water
Empathic link
>"fuck you"
>>28102That doesn't change the fact that you could go ethereal and sneak attack the dragon underwater with your dark vision. I do not understand why you refuse to do it
>>28099"I let her have
some fun, but she got too close to
mine."
>>28104>dark vision in magically-corrupted bog-water>Ethereal movement underwaterHer powers aren't that hax, m8.
>>28108>'He hasn't responded to anything yet. Why don't you try and taunt him out yourself then?'*gets behind in preparation to drag husband out of bog, at the sight of a lunging dragon*
>>28107GM, can Torc talk to Troll?
I have a plane that will fail
"LET ME MAKE YOU A DEAL NIGGER DRAGON! I GOT 50,000 SHEKELS RECOVERED LOOT WAITING FOR YOU, AND ITS ALL YOURS IF YOU KILL ME FIRST!"
>>28111Plan* damnit
Also, torc needs two plain rings for enchanting
