>>34249There is no pillar of honor, tradition and faith more sacred than a man's dedication to his waifu.
>>34258then why is he promoting degeneracy?
>>34258Luxury yes, but he's not for aesceticism, and he makes numerous mentions that what upholds the Prince and thus the Province is best.
>>34259There is a sacred rule in contract making more sacred than any other
GET IT IN WRITINGtl;dr get a legal marriage
>>34260Ask GM. I'm putting this under CITATION NEEDED. Although I guess it is a plausible interpretation of Mandrake
>>34261He casually mentions "abstain from their women" (I think in reference to the son of the last king of Rome raping Lucretia and causing the overthrow of the monarchy...) as a requirement for an established monarchy to continue
>>34262>abstainYes, but in general, his position can easily and conclusively be read that "If getting his dick wet prevents tyranny, then let his dick be whet"
>>34258You didn't answer my question
>>34263I mean... sure, if there is some super bizare circumstance where having sex with someone saves the kingdom. But like, when does that ever happen outside of the context of a political marriage, which is not philandery?
>>34265You asked a question?
>>34267a degenerate philosopher.
>>34266Congratulations, you just proved the opposition's point
>>34266oh that was my next point,Danke.
I don't understand any of this
>>34268His name sounds italin
For reference, I wasn't advocating that Machiavelli was entirely correct, I was citing him as a resource that would be largely (though defeatably) accepting to Trump's actions.
>>34271You,... don't know who Niccolo Machiavelli was?
>>34273I probally do, but the name isn't ringing a bell
>>34275He is famous for coining the adage (bastardized) "The ends justify the means"
>>34244How long will it take Tracy to learn, Dodge, Mobility, and Spring Attack, in that order?
>>34276the means justify the end though...
>>34262>legal marriageWho has the authority to notorize marriages? Clergy?
>>34267Niccolo Machiavelli was a Florentine Statesman and General who lead the Florentines in war and who was instrumental in the creation and operation of the brief lived Florentine Republic, circa late 1400s and early 1500s
He is best known for being a political philosopher and historian, writing
The Prince in 1515 and
Disocurses on the First Ten Books of Livy in 1517. He, more than anyone, could be credited with bringing about Modernity in Philosophy with an entirely new way of looking at epistemology and morality, at least since the Greek Classical era
>>34272He is a very good model, yes, although I don't think he would appreciate Trump's aversion to lying
>>34279Fae is a priest, and we're building a courthouse. I would say the State, if you meant that as a philosophical question
\r
Anyway, Tracy returns to the stables to nurture her birds, after synthesizing a bag full of elephant meat.
How many severed heads are in the mess hall?
"I've returned, my Angels." Tracy declares softly, before hugging her birds and feeding them.
What gender are these birds? I can tell a chick's gender by their down arrangements, but I can't see these.
>>34281>Fae is a priestIs she?
>The stateWhat state?
>>34283Just no damned severed heads, and definitely not in the mess hall
>>34283>Is Fae a priestI made her a priest very early on
>What stateThat was a general answer. It would be the relevant state
>>34286Actually, Tracy's faggot what birds are legal to own?
Also, have you raised pigeons?
>>34286Idk.. A fiendish raven is a lawful-aligned creature.
You're character is chaotic anyway.
>>34287Several of the previous characters have their heads in the mess hall, including the last Paladin who owned Vadereim.
>>34289>>34286Oh, irl.
It depends on the state you live in, plus zoning bullshit.
I have handled pigeons.
>>34292>>34290is a Choatic raven a thing?
>>34294In game?
Idk. Fiendish Raven, from the summon monster table, is a Lawful Evil creature: it counts as casting a Lawful and Evil spell.
>>34292>>34293What are pigeons like?
GM does anything happen in the town?
>>34296>pigeons like?Well, what about them? They're pigeons.
They're harder to handle than you'd expect.
>>34298>'........... I'm fine...'>>34296Nothing happened while Tracy was there..
so are infernuis and thez still 69ing?
>>34299>harder to handle than you expect Thats what I was looking for
>>34277I'd say 1 wk per feat
>>34279That depends on who one is appealing to. Marriage typically involves submitting to an authority outside of ones self or their partnership, making those to be married supplicants. You will note that the vows Thez and Infernius exchanged did not require such, only a witness who could be observed as independently sovereign.
>>34286Sure
>>34287There's already a few, just to let you know,....
>>34289There's legaities for bird ownership? In Port Barry?
>>34296There are increasing decorations and planning, but nothing is particularly popping at the moment
>>34299Insufferable bastards you mean,....
>>34301I hadn't realized that they were, last I heard they were discussing the prospect of a wedding. She's not opposed to 69, but she'd much rather he tied her hands with her braid and had his way with her.
what? its true,... >>34303>The Vows Infernius and Thez did required no outside authorityThat's why it is not a valid marriage. The essence of marriage is that the relationship is placed outside of the caprice of the participants by making it no longer belong to them
>Thez's sexual preferencesShe has better tastes
>>34306True, except that Thez (Gilana) is a standing member of the House of Thez, having and maintaining the authority to engage in contractual and binding agreements so long as witnessed by a sovereign party.
>>34303i was gonna interrogate darkie but sex is a better prospect.
*binds hands*
*smiles fiendishly*
"im going in dry."
>>34308Like binding her hands won't provide sufficient moisture,....
>>34309I think he's referring to a different hole
And while things get lewd, GM departs for 5-10 minutes to acquire take-out
>>34303>1 wk per featAlright. Tracy Trains towards the Great Dexterity Feat, in her free time.
Also
>>34283What gender are her birds and how many heads are in the mess hall?
>>34313i'd like some peach rings
>>34310I doubt it, Infernius doesn't strike me as the type who would abide stink-dick
>>34316he would be if thez wanted it.
>>34316Please tell me the gender of the birds.
>>34319>three months agoKek. I think she should only just barely be showing any bulge at this state of pregnancy
>"Silly pony, you've got nine months until he's born. No need to rush. We probably have a war coming up. That will get in the way of things. We can perhaps have a celebration once we have crushed our enemies">>34322REEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! I wanted a Sam Eagle
>>34321*continues aggressive fugging*
>>34322GM, I want an assessment of the Artilery situation. Like what essential numbers do I need to know and so forth. Both wooden weapons are tested, and the Cannons are taken to the Industrial forge for refitting, or scrapping if necessary. Does Slovenia know Ironworking to any degree?
>>34323Blame the dice
>>34324Thez continues liking it, though displaying a diminishingly astonished expression of false-opposition
>>34325>ironworkingNo
>Artillery/machine essential numbersUh,,.. I'll get back to you
>>34327Kek, I'll try to do that
>>34326>DiceREEEEE! I'll have to go with a Samantha Eagle or something
>No Iron workingAww... We can assume Port Barry has Ironsmiths, especially since it was mentioned in the two city-improvement posts, right? Also, is Slovenia super adorable when the Trebuchets are fired?
>>34322If I were to go with how I normally name mythological creatures, I'd give them Arabic names, but I've got better sources for this case.>>34329>moments laterFine, whatever will make you happy. Sam it is then. I'll name the other one Bunny then... because fug mythology..
>>34329why not Colombia the eagle?
>>34330Better than a 9/11 Hijacker's nameI'll go with that. How does Tracy feel about Trumpaladins's suggestion in
>>34323>>34331I did think about that. It's because Columbia is a place name, not really a person's name. But I cam go with it
>>34333And I got the fucking trips.
HOW
>>34329>ironsmithsYes
>Super cuteIf by that you mean, a face of grim satisfaction, yes
>>34333Trips confirm
I g2g for a couple hours..
>>34335>>34336She ain't Torc's waifu. You guys just said it so much so I stoped denying it
He reconsidered after the "date"
>>34337>Slovrnia is in fact being adorable, as per usualD'aww!
HUGS PONY!
Now let's test out the equipment with targets, preferably structures or walls. And with exotic ammunition as well
>>34341>*Sharp pain in the back of the brain*Okay, now I actually have to go.
Tracy decides to g check on her Nithing pole on the road to Cardishore and then makes her way towards the city.
>>34342Let GM have just one weekend off after three months. Or at least consider taking another character
>>34345Fair, but you know they're not just going to keep a pile of knives out at the security area "In case they come back",... odds are they've been rid of by now.
>>34345like why are the knives suddenly critical now?
>>34348>odds are they've been rid of by nowReeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!Muh meme knives!
I'll take the liver of the customs managing directer. instead if that's the case.
>>34349I always wanted them, I just finally got sick of waiting to go get them...
>>34350They actually
say dark and edgy? That's pretty,... nevermind.
>will REALLY have to go soon
Can the Entertron repair magical status affects, like energy drain and curses?
>>34353Like I don't know what you're thinking
>>34355Energy drain fucking sucks, so I want to know before I roll a 1 with those claws.
>>34356>stands thoroughly correctedA paladin or cleric can restore energy drains
\r
>>34356I'll cross that path when I get to it
>>34357This
>>34328I actually looked, and just as I was about to give up (most "Dark Elf Ahegao" involves tentacles) I found this. You're welcome. The colors are off, but do the math.
>>34358Is it harder to summon the help of a Paladin or cleric than it it is to get to the entertron?
>>34350From what we know of the story, Cardishore is a center of enemy activity, probably as more or even more than the Court City. ho knows what you could encounter. All sorts of magic barriers and other things are possible.
I kind of want my character to infiltrate by disguising himself as seeking to host a reality TV series....
>>34359>No hoovesNot as sexy as some of the other options available
GM plz gib somethin to do
>>34364Tracy's faggot isn't here
>>34365Wanna come plan out military strategy and test out trebuchets with me?
>>34361You could always go to the whorehouse, they have whores and Fight Club
>>34368Torc isn't a fan of whores but he'll take fight club
>>34368I should probably go ask some essential questions of that one pirate we revived. I imagine he wondered over to his natural habitat of the Tavern
>>34359Can it repair magick affects though.
Also, can Tracy still go check her Nithing Pole, and make her way towards Cardishore? I want her to go, even if she can't enter.
>>34360What if the Paladin and Cleric we're incapacitated? I just want to know what it's capable of.
>tfw socially obligated to sit through two-hour concert. >>34361Make us some items/scrolls.
>>34371But I need to talk to her...
>>34374I'd assume it can't cure Geas, because if it could, the Thez would have have her's removed by it by now. I'd assume curses function similarly, and so can't be removed by it. As for negative level drains, I am really not sure
>>34374Alright.
When Tracy gets back, does anyone want to help me kill and revive that Triceratops 6 gorrillion times?
>>34381Boredom will make yous do things
>>34382Torcuil needs a hobby. Like how Tracy has her birds, Infernius has Thez, and Trumpaladin has Football and Deal Making. I think Tracy's faggot had a good idea about making scrolls
>>34383Yeah, but scroll making is less of a hobby and more of a job.
>>34383Well now, there are mass-production machines down in the 'basement (the area between the top and 'bottom' pyriamid, AKA the forge) for making scrolls and potions in quantity, as well as a number of other machines that are more specialized and particular than the ones in the library
do NOT ask me "What kind of machines", rather ask "Is there a machine that does blurrrr" >>34386Is there a mchine that does blurrrr?
>>34387There are many machines that do blurrr
>>34386So if I am understanding you correctly, I can ressurrect all of the pirates, have them work at the machines producing items on commission, then sell the items at a special Trump Magical Item retail outlet that fills the void left over by the Drow being kicked out of town, trade a substantial portion of the items to Sparintenar for their manufactured items, and then sell those items in Port barry or where ever we can ship them to?
>>34387I think you're going to have to go to Krenshall for that
>>34389That's correct, though you'll need a certified magical technician to calibrate and maintain the machines. The machines are - for the most part - a hook allowing players to be creative about getting around limitations on crafting and item production. Nothing
too fancy, there'll be no mass production of uber-ness +80 swords of murder, but mass-producing masterwork swords is feasible.
>>34390Let me guess, Lenos is a magical technician.
Can he teach Torc his crafting skills?
>>34390>certified magical technicianUm... Is Torcuil fit for the role?
>>34391Technically speaking, anyone with the magical ability to craft the items in question is a "magical technician".
>>34392Yes. Trump is too for certain spells and potions (and stuffs that require pali spells)
By the way, if you think I'm not shutting all my computers down to watch the MLP movie in 20+ minutes,... I think you get where I'm going with that.
>>34395IN THE ARMS OF AN ANGEL
In the meantime I'll be practicing pyrography
GM, can the Trebuchet shoot fireballs, and does Slovenia look cuter when this occurs
>>34398Magical fireballs? No. Balls of flaming pitch? Yes. Cute,... oh ffs
>>34399I meant like how poners, which are already super cute, can look even cuter when they have certain expressions, especially happy ones. Like if Slovenia were made very happy or some other emotion by the fireball ammunition and it caused her to look more adorable
>>34400I hadn't thought about it that deeply. I will
Torc, if you haven't seen, check:
https://mlpol.net/mlpol/res/87059.html#q95867 >>34383Trumpaladin has Tracy.
If she isn't enough of a handful, I can make it so.
>>34402Speaking of which, can I go to pony now?
>>34403I thought she was on her way to Cardishore but I guess not..
Where is your character?
>>34386Is there a machine that can make rods quickly?
>>34404He's in an open field to the North sort of in the forest, but he's only about 10 minutes away on dragonne.
GOES TO PONY! I mean check the tower/use empathic link/detect evil
By the way, if you are at a laptop, COME WATCH THE PONY MOVIE IN RABBIT!
>>34407Submit a request to join the room when it shows you that screen. I'll tell anon28 to look out for new requests
>>34410*Is abducted.... I think*
>>34411*flies 80-100 ft in the air*
>>34414"I love you pony"
*attempts to nuzzle pony*
So uh,... what's been goin' on?
>>34416Um... I just got abducted
>>34419I'm truly sorry you missed it. I'm sure there'll b another stream before long.
>>34420Use it!*Wafts the scent of white-knight throughout the plane*
>>34377We could also revive it, kill it again, and make an undead Triceratops to fight.
>>34423Use detect evil, then
"Tracy... What are you doing?"
>>34422Oh, its not the first time tonight I've been robbed of seeing a movie with friends
>laughter turns to sobbing>>344258Youre b8 m8
>>34425"........ Flashy... I'm your mount, right..? I'm here to help you on your mission for football or whatever, right?"
>>34427"D'aww! Well shouldn't I get Thez's belt back, or Suiboto back. Or shouldn't we talk to darkie so we can, you know, get our stuff back and "
move the drow to a reservation'"
>>34428"..... Flashy.... I'm feeling... Frisky...
(and upset, but she doesn't say why) It's a Paladin's mission to save the world from Ebil creatures, right?
Let's do that."
>>34429"Well if you're feeling frisky... Wait. What do you have in mind?"
>>34424Oh yeah, no triceratops grinding. Reviving and then killing, lather, rinse, repeat gets no xp.
>>34426I was avoiding gushing about that. Truly sorry ;_;
>>34428"Oh yeah, I totally forgot!" BTW, the gold/black belt is different than the girdle.
Thez gives Girdle and Sugoito back.
>>34416I want to fight something...>>34430*ghostly wind blows by* (you're on the ethereal plane)
>>34431>GirdleIsn't that the kind of belt only girls wear?
>>34430Anon, have you been wearing women's undergarments for power?
>>34430You is b8 m8
Why else would she waft your scent
>>34431No, you guys are fine. I wasn't expecting to be able to get on tonight anyway
>>34432"Wouldn't you rather go fight enemies in the material realm? They have more... resources. And are actually a danger to society."
>>34433Fuck. That's exactly what that is
reeeeeeeeeFor the +2 it gives to attack and +3 to damage fuck yeah I'd wear it though
>>34436".... We're on the Ethereal plane, Flashy... The locals here aren't strangers to the material world... They're regular visitors; coming in and out looking for food.."
>>34436>fuck yeah I'd wear itmfw your standards
>>34437*ominous ethereal ghost-wind noises*
>>34436Its not like a ladies' girdle
>Torc continues being bored as fucking hell
I guess he goes to investigate the machines that do blurrrr
>Party finds Thong of Epic Charisma>Trumpaladin wears it>>34439How do I attract ghosts?
Did Trumpaladin Detect anything?
>>34437>>34438I think that's factually wrong, at least in the case of devourers, because the article suggests that they attack travelers on the Ethereal plane and there is no mention of them going to the material plane. But whatever, we'll go with your interpretation"Well then why are you standing here. Let's go looking for monsters to slay!"
SPURS MOUNT
QUICK DRAWS VANDERIEM
"Yippee kay ay!"
>>34439Oh thank goodness. Also pls bake. This thread is causing delay of at least 30 seconds because of size on my laptop
>>34441Kek. Try moving forward until you run into something. Do spot checks as well
[1d20+5 = 13]
Spot Check looking for ghosts
Detect evil, but the fucking horse should move if she wants to run into something
>>34447"Boo"
>>34449"GAH, WHAT THE"
Torc then notices his suroundings
"Oh, hi everyone"
\r
>>34454
This. Trump is chibi again. Thez gibs back the belt and the sword,... but they're too big for him.
OH fine, I can hear you thinking it,... baking
>>34449Did they Detect anything?
>>34455He makes a good Halfling.
>>34455Well fuck you too AND MAKE A NEW FUCKING THREAD ALREADY! It took a minute to load this
ITT, Trump is being a dick again
Nigga wtf was that message?
>>34462It was a "to show we care" message
I'll post screencap l8r
