>>34569So, wanna go through woods looking for monsters or talk to darkie, or go to cardishore?
>>34571Gotta figure out where we are first...
>>34572>>34571Both materialize,... alive,... on the golden X in pic relted.
For the record, you would have both died, have woken up in the entertron, with no equipment. You're welcome.
[1d20 = 7]>>34572We were not charging for very long, and movement in the Ethereal plane is half as fast as the material. We'll be fine.
Search check surroundings, as if Trumpaladin could tell one strand of trees from another
Future note, don't run off like an idiot. Strategy (which ur opponents had in spades) can defeat ANY level opponent.
>>34573Shit... I didn't realize they'd gone that far.
*chill runs down spine*
*stops*
>>34573>>34572Fuck yeah! Dragons!
>>34575I'll repeat what I said to Tracy's faggot to you
">Something about hellhounds obviously not being ethereal
Nigger I have no idea what is on the ethereal plane. I don't want to be here. I'd rather advance towards a group goal like killing off the Cardishore Globalists or interrogating Darkie, going to the Drow, murdering them all, and then taking their stuff. Or if you want to go hunt random monsters, go north or far to the east to kill dragons, which leave 3x treasure, unlike Devourers that leave none at all. If you want to kill something on the Ethereal plane, find something and kill it"
>>34574>Movement 1/2Why would you think that?
>>34576Oh calm down. We're in great hunting territory. Wish I had Fae though. Can she get here quickly?
>>34579Do you think you're in range for empathic link?
>>34578>>34578Because that's what the wiki page says
>An ethereal creature is invisible, insubstantial, and capable of moving in any direction, even up or down, albeit at half normal speed.http://www.d20srd.org/srd/spells/etherealJaunt.htm>>34580When you call a mount, they appear the next round right next to you from the celestial plane

Alright
Spot, Search and Listen
Wtf are we?
[1d20 = 16]>>34581What is the biome we are in?
Spot check
Detect Evil
>>34584What a shitty fucking roll that was.
>+5 on spot and listen >>34585Detect Good, because why not?

Rolling to Hide
>>34590Why? Also can you outrun a dragon?
>>34591Well, she could out-maneuver one, if it didn't just breath fire at them..
>WhyWhy not?
>>34582See, here we're in a pickle. The rules listed by Ethereal Jaunt describe an individual who is otherwise non-ethereal, moving at base speed. When one considers that Tracy was spurred, she can be assumed to be moving at greater than 'base' speed. In addition, I disagree entirely with the rulebook on movement speed in the ethereal plane, with regard to self-propulsion, which Tracy has. I'm of the mind that self-propelled characters/entities - given that there are no obstructions or landscape to deter - would move at
twice their base movement rate.
>>34593>would move at twice their base movement rateWow, add a run check to that and she could move... really fast.
Don't worry, Thez and Torcuil will find themselves in equal a pickle.
>>34593There's no block on something like a road. If anything it should be the same, since there's air resistance in both apparently
>>34596But there's no air resistence in the ethereal plane, hence the accellerated (in my design) movement
>>34597You said a few posts ago that wings work. They wouldn't do anything with no air resistance. But whatever, I'll argue about this when it becomes an issue later
>>34599The kind that gives treasure
I hadn't planned it, but for now the party's biggest issue is finding their way back to Port Barry
>>34598Hmmm, you're right, thats contradictory. One moment
>>34601Well, if we encounter a dragon, and it is small enough to kill, then we can take it's treasure. I think a lot of monsters and barbarians give treasure. You wanted to grind xp, well, you're in precisely the right place to do it
>>34603>small enough to kill>in the mountainsYou mean babies/teenagers?
Sure, that's something to do.
It's getting close to 2:00AM...
>>34604You got like a 140 HP don't you? I think we could take on up to a full adult. And if we encounter something larger... you can move at 3x speed right? If nothing else, Ethereal Jaunt
K. Trump is right, wings would not work. Since however, no one is using wings (or air resistence) as a propulsion method, its a moot point. The 2x speed is still in play, and Torcuil and Thez will find themselves approximately 166% the distance Trump and Tracy crossed, except to the east rather than the north.
Also, I think now is a good time to adjourn this "casual" weekend Xp
>>34529>>34521and i thought i was bad at roiling.
Figured out the easy way out. I still think the hard way may be more fun
>>34612Are you talking about the teleporting helmet?
Is there a machine at the tower that assembles golems/constructs?
>>34611Seriously, I had to check the script to make sure that wasn't a 1d1 troll.
>>34615There might be, you'll have to wait until you're not ~150 miles away to check tho. ^_~
>tfw you move so fast you don't realize you're speeding all the way across the continent right into the jaws of doom
>>34618You wheren't the one with leprechauns spewing out your anus
>>34618It wasn't the speed that would have done you in, it was the opponents and their methods. Some opponents do and will make it a practice to kill things much bigger and badder than them
>>34619If it's any compensation, that shit was fucking hilarious.
>>34620I wonder what they were... Idk what kind of creature moves faster than Tracy and can use Ethereal juant..
Oh well, time will tell.
>>34621Not gonna lie, those rolls had be in tears
>>34621I won't spoil it, they'll be back eventually, but they didn't use ethereal jaunt. They made their way to the ethereal plane from another plane (not the material). Also it wasn't that they move faster (they don't) but they were maintaining a distanced formation. They were sizing you up.
>>34623Alright
I'm going to have to work for several hours..
Here's a rough depiction of the new locations, Tr/Tr in gold, To/Th in blue.
>>34627Neat. What is the biome, and what is the scene from Trumcy's perspective?
>>34627Are all the area-names on the map accurate?
"huh where everyone go!?"
>>34633*Bends over, and hugs horsey*
>>34630For simplicity, yes, though they may have more colloquial names when ventured to, and don't assume that the name necessarily correlates to the dynamic and local structure (though it may). Also, there are no names on the world, so technically that info is not known to characters
>>34634[affectionate pony noises]
Is he still small?
>>34635>that info is not known to charactersDid Tracy learn anything about the local geography from the atlases she read in the library?
>>34636No, much as those mini-memes made me kek
>>34638It certainly wasn't planned, but it will (hopefully) be resolved before too long (which with this lot, means next tuesday Xp)
>>34636I do not know"I know it may not seem like it at times, but I really do love you Tracy. And I cannot stop loving you. I want
you Tracy"
>>34639can i go talk to the drow?
>>34641*hugs horsey again*
"Of course. I am happy to see you, I miss you when you're away. I love the feel of your soft blue fur and I love your adorable pony noises and jump scares. I see how devoted you are. You'll make a great mother to my son, I'm glad he has you. I'm glad I have you"
>>34643[happy pony noises]
".. Tha.. th-that makes me feel better..."
>>34644*tries to look into horsey eyes, or at least eye from the angle*
*rubs horsey neck fur*
"You feel better? Well that's not enough for me.What can I do to make you feel complete?"
>>34646i walk to where he is.
"hows it going knife ear?"
>>34645>what can I doHelp her kill Trollestia.And Fae (optional)She'll love that.".... I... I'm not really sure.."
[confused pony noises]
>>34647"Oh good god. What do you want? Decided to amuse yourself at my expense ay?
he gets more cockney when he's agitated Well go on then, its not like I've got anything better to do."
>>34648kek
>>34649It's serious though.Can we get a glimpse of where we are?
>>34650You mean aside from the maps? I'm assuming you're at an elevated position, so more ground-based details depend on getting a closer look. It's at the border of a mountainous area and a plains area with some not too distant forest.
>>34648I'll help her kill Trollestia if she's not pregnant. My loyal attack football kitty is entirely off the table though"I do want you to be happy, little pony"
>>34649"ugh what that smell?"
"me came to alleviate your boredom, me a doctor me know it not good to be left alone this long."
>>34650"Take us down horsey. Let's see what's worth our while in this area"
>>34653"Oh what, you leave a man in a steel body-cast and you expect poupurri? Suddenly you're concerned about my well being is it? If you're not here to let me out, be a good lad and sod off!"
[1d20+20 = 27]>>34652Better do it before bothering to find out. It's all going down the tubes if that's the case.>>34654*descends slowly and stealthily as possible* (for a horse in mid air)

Hey, when it says that Empathetic link gives the paladin and the mount the same connection to a place or item, does that also apply to worn items? When Tracy wears her cloak of charisma, does Trump look Equally fabulous by proxy?
>>34657"Oh, you're a right prick now aren't you, all pleased with yourself. You wouldn't be smiling if we the shackles were off, I'll tell ya that!"
>>34658No
>>34656Wha..."Why stealth? The last time we used stealth we failed to activate a dragon attack we could have taken. How are we going to clear the area of monsters if they don't know we're here?"
>>34658Now what does she need that cloak for?
*sad paladin noises*
[1d20+21 = 40]>>34661She was going to give it to him, but then you asked for a Spell resistance cloak.
How does the item-synch work then?
>>34661>Why stealth"I don't want to get shot before engaging"
Listen check to sense nearby creatures.
[1d20+21 = 30]
Follow up with a Spot check
>>34661>How are we going to clear the area of monsters if they don't know we're here"We'll make noise once we're ready for combat."
They could both make mounted Sneak Attacks together, if he fell. [2d20 = 18]>>34659If you want to get back to interrogate the Drow right now, I've figured out several different ways of using the helm that I think I can argue that would get us there in one or two jumps>>34663I'd like some numbers on these cloaks. Depending on stats and the like, it may make sense to switch. What is she wearing in the robe cloak category?
>>34655Detect evil. Spot Check. Search Check for anything civilizational
>>34662"Oh a comedian now are you, here to have a laugh? If you're expecting me to beg I
won't. I just hope I get a crack at your cheeky ass at some point."
>>34663>item-synchIt means that divination, or other types of items are and can be shared (visual-empathy). Please note, the rules were not designed for
character-based-awakened-pony-cauchemar-murderer-paladin-mounts.
>>34669It would take more than that, but it would help speed your return,... except you have no compass, and the area is unfamiliar, meaning you can't be sure which way is 'back'.
[1d20+21 = 40]>>34669>1Rolling for compensation search.
>>34669Helm would never work on a Drow Assassin.
