>>3162Don't thank me, you can thank the good citizens of (what nation is Trumpaladin from exactly?). It is they, not I, who have paid for this assistance to the great merchant people.
>>3163Sensing that it is not quite the proper time for this, Trump mentions over to the merchant "Excuse men, can I get the sheath for Vandereim?" takes, the sheath, and tries to sheath Vandereim until the time is right
>>3160"Very nice by the way, but I'm afraid not quite of the quality we prefer at the Belligerent Gnome. Have you tried Previously Owned?"
>>3167>Trumpire"Wait! No! You, aw ye pansy," V laments. "You haven't heard the last of me wench!"
>>3166"They wouldn't even let me see 'em! They told me I had to pay to walk in the damn door!"
>>3165I'm not sure which one is Cain's demon-slaying one (though there is a demon-slaying one) is, but sure.
>>3168"No, but I might try it out. It's nice to know who last used a tool..." Tracy say nonchalantly, as she gathers up all the knives in the store and places them into her little sack.
The assistant walks up to the shopkeep and whispers in his ear. He whispers back, they start slap-fighting each-other, and the shopkeep turns back to face you.
"With all that, I simply need a guarantee of payment and our transactions are concluded." ^_^
Trump notices the shopkeep cast the assistant a sidelong glance.
>>3171>leans toward TrumpCan i turn them into silver?
The assistant proclaims. "Due to the immense load of,... business you have brought our fine shop, I have been assured that your lodging and food are gratis at the Sticky Wicket. Their able staff will be waiting to serve you free of charge, whenever you should desire to patronize their establishment."
>>3169"Don't you worry, your time *will* come," Trump says to Vandereim as he sheaths him
>>3171Trump tenders a check with special insignia to the merchant. "This is basically a treasury bond. Credit of the highest order. All the banks in the world will fail, and the sun will fail to rise, before the government skips out on an interest payment. But I'm sure your fine people already know that from decades' experience"
>>3174Thankfully that is unnecessary
>>3175Huzzah! To the Sticky Wicket!
>>3177The merchant doesn't recognize the markings of the document, but given that Trump coughed up 10000 shekels (thats enough to buy a Keep BTW) he's not parsing hairs. He smacks his assistant and directs him to direct the party.
>>3177"Its not ME time that's a comin' lad! That one's not ta be trusted! Say the word, and we can reign not-hell down upon 'er!"
So the assistant leads the way to the Sticky Wicket, a 2-story Inn, bar, and grill situated conveniently in a convenient place. Its convenient.
At the door you are greeted by a large-nosed fellow.
"Good afternoon!" says the door-man as you (?) make your way inside.
>>3178>Trump whispers to Vandereim - "Oh I know. That's why I bought you">>3178*Trump is disturbed by the possibility the credit was not recognized*
Meanwhile, Yak Lee and Infernius are still drooling on themselves.
>>3180Its multi-dimensionality, don't read into it.
>>3179>I leave the group to go get my book I ordered
>>3179Trump is reassured by the appearance of the man, who looks similar to many fine individuals Trumpaladin worked with in his former life
The Sticky Wicket offers an ample buffet of deluxe-priced foods, as well as a bar and grill for more specialty entrees. There's a fireplace, a winding staircase (leading to the rooms) and seating pretty much wherever you could want to sit.
Thez says "Now we're talking," and wanders to the bar.
Another jew (oh lets not kid ourselves) wanders over and asks "Do you have any baggage you need assistance with? Your reservation was called ahead."
>>3183The book was agreed to be delivered.
>>3185"Oh, no thank you. I only have a few items on me"
>>3186Oh, i thought I was going to pick it up
>>3185"No baggage for me
Torcuil runs to the buffet, stuffing a plate
>>3187"Very well sir. Here is your key (no 33), second hall on the left, upstairs. Would you like something prepared for you, perhaps there's a dish you'd like prepared?"
>>3188I stand corrected, that WAS the arrangement. You venture off to the booth, but find it unoccupied for the moment, with a "Will Return" sign.
Thez walks back with a frustrated look on her face. "10 shekels for a drink? What kinda operation is this?!" she crosses her arms impatiently. "Ya'll are lucky I'm lawful,...."
>>3190Trump takes the key,
"Great! I'll take a Taco bowl as an appetizer, an angus steak - well done - and for desert I'll have a chocolate cream pie with not one, but two scoops of vanilla ice cream"
>>3192"Ready in 10min sir! DO you take Ketchup?"
>>3192>>3193Kek
>>3190Eh, I go back and eat
>>3192"I'll have what he's having! Make that rare though."
So basically, the stage is set for everyone to settle in. Torcuil has a pair of staves, one the worn oaken one and the other a weathered-green copper shaft (transmutation). Trump has an ever-talkative bastard (sword) on his back, and Tracy has sooooooo many new knives,.... <3
The food is decent quality, Trump's steak being suitably well-done per his taste, while Tracy's steak is so rare its bluish (the best way to eat a steak FYI). Torcuil fills up on Argentine Joint, potatoes and greens, when the cook appeared from behind the scenes,... sorry, and proffers cakes, pies and pastries. Thez finds herself a vacant spot on one of the couches surrounding the fireplace, and sits in irritated contemplation.
SO not done yet, if that's what ur thinking, unless u have-to go
Except for Lee and Inf, who have collapsed, but are still drooling
>>3196>doesn't know wtf it even is>no sense of taste anyway"I'll take that too."
>>3198Past midnight for me. Like usual...
>>3200I suspected. Shall we wind then?
>>3200same and I want sleep, so see yall laterTorcuil finds his way to his room and retires for the night
>>3195>>3200Aren't you like a pony though? Should you be eating steak at all?>>3202After the meal, Trumpaladin enters the room pr rooms, and is careful to check all possible entrances and exits, and whether the group is split apart across several rooms
>>3203>Questioning what Tracy Cage is eating
Alright! <session-terminating cinematic incoming>
As the evening progresses, the various pirates, er sailors, make their way to their rooms (being on strict schedules of rape and murder). Torcuil retires first, followed by Trump, and then (presumably) Tracy, while Thez contemplates from the fireplace.
Stillness permeates through the building, nothing untoward occurring or registering from inside the party's spacious (you got a good room) accommodations. Everything seems peaceful and calm,... until suddenly one of those big-nosed fellows (though now his face has fur and big whiskers) punches through the floor. The fellow is clearly incapacitated, but also clearly bestial. From below you can hear Thez chastize herself: "I knew it. I FUCKING knew it! Come on then motherfuckers! Let's get MeSsY!!"
>>3206>punches through the floorJust his face mind you.
From inside the room, the presence of several stomping feet can be detected from the lower floor, and an increase in ambient speech suggests that several people have decided to enter the Inn for 'an unknown reason' and are engaged in a heated exchange. Some thumping and shuddering can be felt through the building, and a feeling of uneasiness slowly creeps over the party. Except for Lee and Infernius that is.
[1d20 = 11]>>3203>*door creaks ever so softly*
>>3208ROFLMAO
Nice. We'll leave it at that. ^_^
Afterthoughts:
>>3203You're surprised that Tracy Cage is eating meat? Also, Vandereim proceeds to proclaim that whatever is going on downstairs is clearly a result of you not killing that wench.
>>3202>gave money to a JewGood luck with that. No spoilers but,....
>>3209I see. It's the same as happens in "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" by H.P. Lovecraft. Thankfully, Trumpaladin has prepared for precisely this situation. Since I was kind of expecting it. But not furry jews. That was a total surprise. See
>>3203commence blatant plagiarism the plot of that bookTrumpaladin kicks the rat-jew-whatever back down in its hole and alerts his party (which apparently is in the same room as him), and goes through the door between rooms into the vacant room adjacent, but not before barricading the door to the main room. There, he barricades both doors while looking for a way from the second or third or so floor to ground level. After climbing down to the ground level, Trumpaladin goes through the less well lit and silent alleys to the edge of town, and hides in the river bed under a bridge
Okay, I don't know how much of that my character can do, but that's more or less what I would have him do outside of cinematic mode
>>3212>>tfw when you wake up just as the game ends
>>3214You find yourself in the field you last spoke to the party in. There is a Yak here. You seem to have zoned out for a while. Its night time. In the distance (from the city) you hear a commotion.
>>3214I don't mind, you can work your way into the city if you'd like, but I'll avoid it getting to hairy until next time.
>>3215As i recover from the weed i smoked i charge towards the commotion.
>>3213>tfw I'm plagiarizing HP Lovecraft and I haven't even read himIt happens. As for Trump,... we'll say that he gets to the adjacent room and barricades both doors. We'll work on the rest in due course.
>>3217With a mighty cry of "REEEEEEEEEE", Infernius charges toward the town, his mighty sword in hand, wondering WTF happened while he was stoned. As you enter the city, most of the buildings are closed and darkened, but there are a couple buildings still light, one in particular surrounded by individuals with characteristically large noses.
Cinematics aside, if you guys want to modify the schedule (earlier? later? time-travel?) so to be more accommodating, I'm open to input.
[1d20 = 13]>>3219I perception to see if they are jews
>>3222Don't get me started. Thez could have had her way with you, but she was still pissed about Barry. Speaking of which, I forgot to kill him again.
>>3223There's not a small-nose to be seen.
>>3224I walk over to them, giant swastika on my chest clearly visible.
>>3225As you approach, the trailing one turns and looks at you. "Oy vey!" he exclaims, which alerts another couple, who then turn and "Oy vey!", leading to a cascading domino-effect of "Oy vey!, Oy Vey!, Oy vey!" that travels through the group. There's about 30 that you can see in front of you, as well as more inside the building.
Combat from here on, so probably better to stop
>Like a fucking bull in a china shop
>>3228Sorry about that. Don't worry though, as soon as next session starts, its gonna be killing.
>>3229Ah no worries, its my fault for sleeping so long.
[1d20 = 5]
>Denziens of a mysterious town invite an outsider to, among other things, stay at an inn on a second-or-higher floor. That, night, the entire town masses to try and capture and kill the outsider. In fact, pretty much the entire town is amassed there to the degree that the rest of the town is more or less dead. In fact, I'm betting the furry jews will call forth masses of reinforcements from the sea
>Exactly as happen's in Lovecraft's "The Shadow over Innsmouth
>Exactly as I was expecting would happen
Trumpaladin, I'm guessing now barricaded in the second room with Tourcil and maybe Tracy, says "I knew that cashier's unfamiliarity with the insignia was a red flag. Check must have bounced. And hush Vandereim, I don't trust that snake down stairs, but not everything is her fault."
Trump looks out the window and checks for any way to get from the room to the street at ground level. Roll for detection
>>3231Damn, I had no idea. Its not quite as bad as you describe, but you don't know that yet. As for the rats (were-rats, simplicity FYI),... well Trump doesn't know but Infernius can see no less than 30 of 'em. Also, friendly GM reminder that these were-rats are sentient and will not walk into extended weapons in the same sense that zombies will.
>>3232Yep, unless we notice a present quorum through the week.
[1d20 = 10]>>3233In the book, the protagonist is alone, is a college student, and has at most a revolver. He's also outnumbered with the entire town against him *and* 5 times that number coming in from the ocean. So he has to escape by stealth. In this case, Trumpaladin is well armed and has probably two well armed companions with him, but he doesn't want to engage the were-rats. Partly because he thinks they are after him for a bounced check, so they are sort of in the moral right (Remember that his background is not what you would call "red pilled"; he does not mistrust jews or jewishness); partly because he doesn't want to piss off the were-rats too much (they can burn down the inn with him in it); and partly because he is extremely outnumbered, with possibly the entire town against him, and who knows what or who is docking in the harbor. So Trump seeks to exit by stealth, and spook the were-rats with Varmereim's taunts if they break through the door
>>3235Yea thats the opposite of my plan
>>3236You're not trapped in a small room in a flammable building completely surrounded by were-rats who took your personal information down earlier. Also, your character is an anti-semite
>>3237Infernuis come and find friends, even if he have to kill everyone in town.
Something to be aware of with regard to combat. While individual scores are the rule, in cases of joined combat/maneuvers, combines scores can apply. For example, let's say Infernius had a 30 strength (he doesn't, just saying). This would make it so he can pretty much minotaur-handle any shmoe with a 10 strength unless he rolled a 1 (str check is score +1d20 vs. opponent). Having said, if 3 10-str shmoes worked together to man-handle him, they would collectively have a score of 30, on par with his. Similar bonuses can apply with regard to flanking and other coordinated efforts. Additionally, if a character is rendered 'helpless' (unconscious, bound, held {magic or physically restrained} or otherwise made unable to resist or defend against an attack, they can be automatically 'coup de grace'd by an opponent as a standard action (avoiding attack roll cuz helpless). So for example, while Trump could have essentially waded into zombies cuz they're idiots and he's in plate, if he waded into were-rats (arbitrary example) he's probably get ripped apart. ^_^
Also, this fight is going to lean a bit more on maps, positioning, range, and combat sequence.
G'night!
So who is gonna be on tonight?
or am I a faggot with no life?
>>3240Infernuis have nothing going on today.
>>3240But I had things I wanted to do...
>>3244Take care of what you need to do in meatspace, ~Flaaashy. I will make sure your avatar is well guarded and taken care of.
I'm not set on anything at this point,... but I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't be available. In the meantime,... this is just one of the maps I should have had available,... yesterday.
Blue is windows, maroon is furniture (tables, chairs, stools, and couches), and purple is the secured party area.
>>3246Can Infernuis get a map of where he is?
>>3247Grey = (((them))) but not to scale
>>3249Dank map. Also can i multi class into a witcher at some point?
>>3250>wants to add an entire vidya brand to the game mechanics>is already a MLP Minotaur, cleric, with a greatsword, for Adolph Hitlere_e I'll look into it, but I promise nothing
>3251
While we're adding video games, can I be a space marine?
>>3251Theres a class for it in 3.5 and 5th
>>3254IK, it used to be called Spelljammer.
>sigh>>3252I'll say this; IF certain resources which are/will-be available to the party are successfully utilized, WHICH is reasonably possible, THEN Trump MAY get the opportunity to cross-class as a space marine.
As for 'Witcher', I've never played so I don't even know what kinda properties a witcher has. Curiously, the space marine (getting ur ass to space aside) is the easier to incorporate.
>>3255Would a jedi be easier?
>>3257So let me clarify: are you asking to already HAVE levels in jedi/W? OR are you asking to be able to GAIN levels in jedi/W?
>>3258>>3257>involving Jedis
>>3261Posting from a phone
>>3262Jedi and space marines go hand in hand
>>3263i think you are thinking of the wrong soldiers, Anon
>>3260Well, in D&D jedi powers are called psionics, so its not much of a stretch.
