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?

>>28317i mean i was going to do it to gain us some favor with it but since we are gonna kill it
>>28310i dont do this infact delet this trump.
>>28307#winning
Okay. The scenario is this (described through latent dialogue). The Trolls had inhabited the particular section of forest, but in doing so had drawn the attention of the resident dragon. In exchange for not-murder, the trolls would offer meat. To help assuage the dragon during lean times (such as this) they woul prey on less-wild animals (read, Port Barry loggers). Neither the Dragon, nor the Trolls ever wanted to start a fuss, but it was a matter of individual and group survival.
The dragon its self doesn't really care where its meal comes from, it just likes them 'pickled' (seeded in bog-water for a duration).
Ultimately, by sending out a logging party, the party caused this whole debacle by upsetting the delicate balance of power and existential circumstance by inserting a human presence in an otheriwise homeostatic dynamic, resulting in potential catastrophe to the hoomans, which was mitigated by the party.
Congrats, the party are the bad guys. ^_^
>>28322And now we correct the Homostasis
My actions are the same
Also, communicate to Fae to lead the Generals put by an alternative path
>>28322This dragon is only a level 9 encounter, it'd be cruel to kill it now...
>>28324Yes, but now the party has killed off the Troll hunting party (rightly in that case, though it WAS due to encroachment) and now both the Trolls (cuz the wimmins and chillins haven't just died) as well as the Dragon are without a source of food.
>>28326this i need xp for psion levels. or we could keep it as a pet.
>>28322"The trolls aren't coming back. What are you going to do from now on? You can't keep attacking travelers if you wanna' stay here without problems."
>>28327If it goes for the Food, I want an attack of opportunity. Otherwise, I'm satisfied with all of them dying of starvation
>>28328Please try to poison
GM, I have Torc morph into a black dragon.
I'm gonna relocate the poor thing
>>28310
Sorry, was typing outcome before this happened. Most noble tho.
>>28331The thing killed five people
>>28334Alright
"Torc, what are you doing?"
>>28333Idk.. We did violate the NAP by treading through its swamp.
>>28336We were just passing through
>>28336>>28335>>28334Just withdraw the meat and we can leave the dragon alone
>>28337>>28336Still trespassing
>>28335"Getting it out of here, I would recommend standing back"
>>28331While I want to say "Success, it is so",... you don't know where it COULD go at the moment. I mean, it could stay here, but the Trolls (which are largely dead) had killed offf much of the local fauna. You could leave it there and hope that said fauna returned,... its a gamble either way.
>>28332thanks.
>>28336yea you are right i guess we did.
>>28337That's still technocally trespassing. You could even consider the trolls her property/cohorts, so intentions weren't exactly non-aggro.
The lawful thing to do would be st make a peace-deal.
Who knew fighting dragons could be so complicated?
>>28343>>28342It killed five of Trumpaladin's men, it is going to die
>>28345We can revive the men. We gotta remain Lawful.
>>28345tell me in character somehow.
>>28347>>28347"Both of you, come to me for a second. Away from the bog side"
>>28350"A little further away."
"Torcuil, can you cast a noise deafening zone?
>>28348Or dragon is a man (woman).
"The sea is full of fish and wildlife. You can eat your fill there," Thez says dropping to the ground.
>>28351"Hold up"
>>28352"Thez, could you lead me to the ocean if possible?"
>>28340"Hey, Skullface! What's your name?!"
>>28358"he want some fuck with the dragon."
>>28358"I'm talking to Thez about something, now hold up."
>>28358>>28356>>28359>Operation: MantisTorc is going to use his >rape-able body as bait to lead the dragon to a place where it won't cause any problems.
>>28359>>28361I hate you all so damn much
>>28359>>28359"Inferius, this dragon killed five of
my men"
>>28361>"tracy, This is mine" >>28361this is actually a good plan, itll be at an advantage here in the bog
twins.
>>28361It'll be a danger there. It can attack fishermen.
>>28366"Yes, it killed five of my men without warning"
>>28362"Remember when you were angry at Korak for being a slaver? This is the same thing here with me. We obliged you there, oblige me here"
>>28367"i want the heart as atrophy."
>>28340"Thez, you raped me. You owe me one"
To ceremonialize the situation, and to assuage any doubt, Thez walks forward and offers her hand. "Eat it, it will rejuvenate." to which the hungry dragon does eat. Her arm is quite meaty, and though not enough to sate a dragon of her size, the gesture is not dismissed.
"If there are lands beyond this that I may hunt and prey on that do not cause harm, I will do so. I'm sure you have differing standards of propriety, but you have been kinder and more considering than any I've encountered (realize, no one is nice to black dragons, in general).
Also, Thez passes out from blood-loss, cuz her regen stone isn't working for her anymore.
>>28362It's so funny though... I get your point..I like your plan though. Let's see where it goes.
>>28370*eyes twitch at the mention*
>>28372"You killed five of my men. Do you have any treasure here?"
>>28370She'll pay you back in >rape dollars.
>>28372"FUCK!" cure critical wounds
>>28368"Just.... no.
There is a difference between an animal lashing out in fear, and a man actively hunting down people to abuse. Now if you'll exuse me."
>>28372Torc cautiously approaches the dragon.
"Hey, its okay. I don't wanna hurt you. I wanna help you."
>>28372*Tracy drags Thez onto land before she drowns*
"Got a name, skullface?"
>>28377>>28379"This dragon killed five of
my men Torcuil"
>>28379It's a level 9 encounter. It really wouldn't be a battle, so much as it'd just be a slaughter...
>>28382Can't we revive them? I'm saying the Lawful thing would be to retreat. It's unlawful to attack during a parley, especially when you've already gained the advantage of reinforcements. >>28383The dragon has done harm, it must pay in blood or money
>>28376"If it means exchanging what I have for a stable environment, I will consider doing so. Your men died because they were in my land, and were therefore my prey. If I can have prey without trouble, I will do so at cost."
>>28378Thez wakes up, dazed.
>>28380"I,... it has been a long time. I was once called Kiynen. No one has ever asked me my name."
>>28385Can everyone hear its name?
>>28385"you scared me there gilly."
Wait, wasn't Trump the one pushing for diplomacy a few minutes ago?
>>28385"Those were
my men. I cannot go home empty handed. I will happily leave you alone if you part with it"
>>28389>>28385"It's... It's an embarrassing situation for me...
I am sorry. But I cannot go home empty handed"
>>28388Idk, but we got the treasure, and we finished off the trolls, so why kill her?
>>28393If she gives us the treasure and fucks off from this location, then sure she can live
>>28391"If you know of a place, where I can sustain myself without preying upon bipeds and homonids, then I will readily offer my treasure."
>>28386>>28385I'll assume yes.
>>28395"Hi Kiynen, my name is Torcuil. I am willing to help you find a new area to settle. Will you be willing to let me help you?"
>>28391>'You didn't come home empty handed'*offers troll-heads, tied together by their hair*
>>28395"Thez was suggesting the ocean just a minute ago. That'd be due east, over mountains. Plenty of fish, maybe whales. Please do not attack fisherman though."
\r
Let me state for the record, I had absolutely no intention or predisposition that things turn out this way, it was entirely a matter of momentary inspiration, serendipity, and identification with a dragon that is evil (yes) but really just wants to survive, and is operating in a context that it didn't initially plan for but was making the best of.
>>28401Blood or blood money, it's paying one way or the other for what it did
>>28387"What... the... FUCK!"
She's not happy that she doesn't regenerate anymore.
>>28403"Calm down or you'll scare Kiynen"
>>28395>bipeds and homonids"... How many bipeds per day are you talking about?"
>>28402Y U no just convert to Blackguard? I can tell you want to play it.
Uber-merciful white-knights are gay.
>>28403"Is your rock-thingy broken?"
>>28405>"The fuck is wrong with you Tracy?">>28405I just want something to make up for the fact that I killed 5 of my followers on an unnecessary expedition
>>28403"hey its okay baby. well find a way to get you regenerating again."
>>28405Trumpaladin is visibly disgusted at Tracy
And why you delete >>28399
>>28409>>28407*shrugs*
>something to make upYou got the dead trolls and the treasure.
>>28409>why you delete >>28399I misinterpreted what the dragon said.
>>28401Fair, and it will be paid in due course. Who (except Darkie) really
wants to die anyhow?
>>28406>>28408"I'd not have offered my arm if I thought this,..." to Infernius, "Please, get me to the Entertron, I don't know what is happening," she sounds worried, for the first time he's ever heard it.
>>28385"Well Kiynen. I am a sheepdog, and you attacked my sheep. We can help you. but you won't be able to take your treasure with you anyways"
>>28412"dont worry ive got you."
"guys ill see you back at the tower"
*uatchit*
If she dies, can't we revive her too along with the Generals?
>>28410If I get the treasure, then sure, I'll say this trip was not a perfect disaster.
We're using the treasure as drow bait, by the way
>>28416make sure they dont steal it.
>>28416>drow bait.. Sure. I'll go with that..
>>28417I'm going to be watching it
>>28416Wouldn't they all be just like Darkie though?
>>28420some could be more radical than him.
>>28420Maybe. We're killing some, and we're tracking them back to where they came from
>>28419>Invisibility>Dimensional door>Obscuring MistAssassin Spells, m8. It'll vanish in four seconds.
>>28422>Pass Without TraceAssassins can't be tracked..
>>28423Then you figure out a way
"Thanks, u big oaf."
"Don't get in the habit of bullying Ponimaru though, I wasn't going to forgive you for that until now."
>>28423Mordenkainen's Faithful Watchdog.
>noobs >>28427"Torcuil, do your thing, but we really do need the Drow bait"
>>28425"i love you, we need to have a talk after your better."
"he told you?" >>28429this. i would also like to know if i can.
>>28396Sorry, I had to reset browser again, I work backwards when do, please continue to remind if happens"Yes I will. You smell sexy by the way."
>>28430"No, Ben escaped while you were fighting Ponimaru, and per my instructions (if something happens) he went to the Fight Club and spoke to the regulars. The regulars then got word to me."
>>28433I also have dialogue to the dragon in
>>28413>>28398 Infernius Meta - no, there was NOT mention of Soros and such, just that you attacked Ponimaru
>>28433Okay, I understand
"Okay, thank you for trusting me"
Torc uses polymorph to turn into a black dragon
"Follow me if oou would."
He the addresses the party "I'll be back later"
Torc then takes off due east, towards the ocean
>smell sexyNot again...
>>28433>It worked"Don't eat him (yet). He's everyone's to share."
>>28435"My treasure is simply a collection of what my prey has left behind (and what didn't digest). Pretty though some of it may be, I have no attachment to it."
>>28439What does that even mean?
Forget I said that, forgot the map is upside down
>>28443Damnit, makeup your mind east, west, or weast?
>>28440"Alright, produce it for us, and follow that fine rapable fellow. And no more attacking humans, because
that is how you get people trying to kill you. There will be plenty of fish whales, and dolphins"
>>28444Oh fug it all. Does anyone object if what 'was' south is now north, and vice versa? I inverted the map so it made sense with existing maps, but its damn confusing.
Lets make the Compass Rose Great Again!
>>28447>produce"Its at the bottom of the bog of course"
>>28440"Oh and... Before you leave him, be sure to, well, unleash all of your pent up energy and desire on him. He's shy, but he likes it when you are agressive"
>>28449"Can you bring it to shore please?"
>>28445He somehow went from "30 year old cave virgin" to "fucking stud"
HOW!?
>>28447>>28450Does Trump want to die?
>>28451Who you callin pinhead?
>>28452"Why Trump, can't you drain the swamp?"
Pun intended >>28454"Not with this set of allies"
>>28454"Just bring it to shore and you can be off on your date"
Trumpaladin casts DRAIN THE SWAMP to see if he has better luck than his patron
>>28458"I'M STILL A DRAGON YOU KNOW.
AND YOU DON'T HAVE ACID RESISTANCE"
>>28460"Yes I do. I took a potion. Now please either cast DRAIN THE SWAMP, bring the coins and such to the shore, and be on your way. We need Drow bait"
>>28460You don't get the breath weapon when you polymorph.
>>28463You don't get the Acid resistance either, so don't piss her off, lest you get melted.
>>28464>meltedKek. That's not what he needs to be worried about
Alright, as this session comes to a close (cuz I'm fugged, I've been up since 4) the party has lost: virtually nothing.
Darkie has gotten WAAAAAY more bored (which makes him more reasonable)
There's a dragon's treasure to lay claim to
There's a dragon (and a lady, DO tell Lenos)
There's some ppl to revive but that's what the Entertron is for,....
And that's just the full-party accomplishments. I haven't rolled for the dragon treasure yet - so fuck off - but its there and as for other stuff, minimal/moderate experience for some (not really anything died, but some get xp for role-playing).
I'm gonna go pass out, I'll be here bright and way-fuggin' early.
>>28466I'm going to sleep too
I'll guide the dragon in the morning
>>28466Trumpaladin collects the Treasure.
Tells Fae
>Success, Dragon made to leave, Treasure collected. All dead will be revived, and wounded healed. Trolls are kill, and danger to Port Barry and the logging industry elminated>lost - virtually nothingDoes't feel like it\r
im done for the night to guys.
oh trump can you gibe white power flag?
>>28471That doesn't exist. Post a picture and maybe those Europoor devs can upload it when they wake up
Also, my laptop charger is broke. Reeeeee
Still no wifi
Staff is going to remove all flags from the website. And I don't just mean custom flags. They will be removing geoflags as well. I protested, but got outvoted
Tracy does whatever to bring everyone and the bodies/treasure home, and then returns to her eggs.
>>28476this makes me sad, but so is life.
>>28477Huh. That's what I would have wanted her to do
>>28479I'm not
>>28481It makes me sad as well. I love geo-flags, and I love custom flags
>>28483its not gonna feel like a pol site anymore.
>>28484No it isn't. I am not sure how we will attract people who just want mlpol
>>28485im sure if enough people bitched loud enough, atlas would listen.
>>28487>>28476Wait, will we still have poster ID's?
>>28488we would have to name fag if not...
>>28486I fully agree
>>28487In my experience, that actually does work. I could perhaps persuade them to bring it to a vote, or maybe leave the geo-flags alone
I personally think that the people who hate the custom flags are actually concerned about only a single poster *cough* vril *cough* and we could just take his flag away.
>>28488On the three boards that have them, yes
Bitches, I know those feels, bur hold on a sec. I know peeps r comfy w/ flags - I for one love the derp flag - but we're (they're, the mods bue we as mlpol) trying to appeal to a greater audience. Flags r fun, but maybe flags are gay too. This doesn't mean "no more flags evar 4 all time", but for now let's try no flags?
>>28490i promise no more Israeli larping.
Oh yeah, fuck Vril AND Nigel tho. Idk why ppl keep kissing the former's ass, and Idk why the latter is so dense. Sorry, desu
>>28494vril has an interesting take on things.
>>28496Occasionally, and when he's getting attention/his way, I agree. Other times he's a right prick. Sorry, not sorry.
>>28453>HOW!?Meme Magic. Torcuil could lead the Beta Uprising.
>>28494>>28497Fucking this. Guy is an asshole and has abused the flag system
Nigel is an IP jumper, we can't do much about him
>>28497i agree sometimes he can get a little douchey but contributes a shitload.
>>28466>not really anything diedI made Fae track down Trolls. We're making sure some died and those that didn't were chased miles West. Bringing back heads too
>>28508If they actually died, sure. I think Fae and the Generals know to collect body parts - hearts though, I am less sure about
>>28509night dude, ill be back semi early.
>>28500Since we're all I'm a Faggot atm (subbing for that word filter I suggested Xp, read Meta), I'll just say this. There are a lot of anons who voice their opinions over social media, other anons lurk, and obv there are those who post on site, whether reg or intermittent (btw, cheers again for da ebins). Mlpol will not suffer for trying different approaches, even if at times it is 'slightly' less comfy. Everything comes out in the wash, and if the site gets new content creators and active anons, it's better that we give up flags or w/e desu.
As for faggots who wanna make excuses as to why they don't post or participate, they too will be counted in a manner of speaking, for as increasing efforts to accommodate go neglected and ignored, it become obvious who really gives a fuck. I don't mean to sound overly critical OR overly permissive, and I can do so cuz I'm NOT a mod/jannie/w/e. I'm just some faggot who will be here as long as there's anons posting.
>>28511>I don't mean to sound overly critical OR overly permissive, and I can do so cuz I'm NOT a mod/jannie/w/e. I'm just some faggot who will be here as long as there's anons postingWell, as I think you've all probably figured out by now, I hate being unable to shape the happenings around me. Or as you had Thez say it during the rape scene "you don't like feeling out of control, do you?"
>>28405That post you deleted was a hell of a lot better than this one (well, from my perspective anyways). What was "… How many bipeds per day are you talking about?" supposed to mean anyways?
\r
>>28466Goddamn that was a miserable session. It's been hours and I still feel it. Maybe it'll stop tomorrow
>>28498What? NO
>>28513>>28511>>28513The ride never ends anons
The ride never ends
>>28513Sorry, I should have worded that better, I wasn't being critical of or referencing you at all. Please don't misunderstand.
When it comes to Mlpol I take an assertive stance cuz reasons, and though not a mod, I'm constantly on the lookout for false, disingenuous, or otherwise harmful participants, who really just wanna fuck with people cuz reasons. So when it comes to proposed changes to the site - even though I have zero authorization or mandate - I am always quick to assess the scope and nature of those requesting/demanding the changes. In the case of flags, there is valid concerns about them, but I also have no doubt that an indeterminable (yet still existent) percentage of the anons calling for the change haven't really ever posted, and probably won't even if there are no flags. Or perhaps, they want the flags gone so they can better troll.
Tl:dr There's no doubt in my mind that some calling for no-flags are spurious. W/e the case, I have no problem making sure that opponents do not get their way, and new users get what they want out of the site.
P.S. I don't like feeling out of control either ^_~ >>28468Torc still has 2 charm potions...
I wonder what happened to the other one >>28519Noted for future reference.
When Empathetic Link says that two characters share the connection to the same item, does that also apply to affects with saves, like cursed items?
>>28521I would think so, in the sense that when one character is set upon my a cursed item the other character's support and connection would aid in their ability to combat/elude the influence of said item.
>>28523I outta make write-up the stats for a Dragon-Fucker prestige class.
>>28522What about other items, with conditions upon their affects?
For example, Vaderiem is a Holy sword: he'd temporarily bestow one negative level upon and evil wielder: that wouldn't apply to Tracy unless she actually holds him, right?
>>28523'Morning
Yeah, I seriously had no plan for last night to turn out that way. One of these days when I'm feeling less inhibitions toward, I'll go into detail about the full scope of the metaphysics I'm employing throughout the course of the Game
and then you'll really think I'm nuts, but in the moment the idea occurred to me that a dragon - even an evil skull-faced one - might well entertain a better situation if given the chance, if it got to keep its hide, even if that meant submitting to the will of others. They're not stupid after all.
>>28525Yes, and the negative level would immediately revert upon releasing him.
