What is this, part 6? Previous thread https://mlpol.net/vx/res/2959.html

So the party is gathered around the still smouldering piles of what remains of the (((were-rats))), except for Thez who is covered in charring and burn.
"Where in hell have YOU been?" Thez asks/demands.
"Fun fact folks, magic is her weakness," Lenos smirks. "I was there the whole time, but your dumb-ass couldn't detect invisibility if the spell was tattoo'd to your body!" he begins laughing at the mental image.
Visibly agitated, Thez starts back into the Inn, making sure to step on a few skulls for the satisfaction, muttering something about "Where's Barry?"
Lenos looks at the assembled. For such a short fellow, he's got quite the attitude. He looks at Trump and says "Let me guess, paladin? Heh, lets see how long this one lasts," looks at Tracy and idly says "No words," then Infernius "Dude," then Torcuil, "Mage? Stay outta my way," and then Yak Lee "I'll let her deal with you."
He turns back to the group and sighs, while lighting a cigarette.
In the background, peasants are slowly and gradually encircling the party (non-aggressively).
"You guys owe me for this BTW," Lenos says, oblivious to the peasants. "Normally I don't intervene, but it was too good," he says pleasantly inhaling the odor of burned rat.
"So are we gonna just stand here, or are we going inside? I could use a drink..." and as he says this, a large-ish (none of them are LARGE, but of them this one is sorta) human steps forward, leaving behind an apparent wife.
"Did you do this?" he asks incredulously.
Lenos's shoulders slump at the inquiry and he whips out a fancy-looking knife.
"Yeah? And if I did?" he challenges.
The man however, is neither insistent nor aggressive, and in fact his countenance softens at the rebuke. He turns to (his wife) and they embrace. Behind him/them, several more townspeople start to cheer and clap, with some running off to other houses to rouse their neighbors.
Apparently, killing the (((rats))) consitutes a habbening.
The man explains that the (((rats))) had infiltrated the town several months back, after the progenitor of the City (some dude named Korak) set off to sea. Korak and his crew had been gone for several weeks when the first of the rats started to show up in town. Immediately they began harassing the local businesses and patrons, used all manner of shady tactics and shenanigens, and ultimately either weaseled their way into possession/ownership of the major businesses in town and either intimidated or eliminated any competition. They had established a network of spies and informants, keeping 24-hour surveillance of the city, and had even taken possession of several of the ships seen docked in the harbor. Word was, they planned to spread to the hills by way of the waterways.
"So,... it sounds like YOU guys owe me as well!" Lenos concludes with satisfaction. "Hey, lets finish this inside, I need a drink."
He leads the party (and the guy, who kisses his wife and continues with the party in case the GM needs a resident to explain something residential.
Upon re-entering the Sticky Wicket, there are several bodies strewn throughout. Some of them are contorted from various broken bones, one is a mess of gore, and of another one all that remains is a foot. Thez is seated at the bar with a 5th of something in her hand, less-than-patiently waiting for Lenos, the party, and random dude #647 to arrive.
"Did you have to wait until I was in the middle of them to do that?" she asks, less but still irritated.
"Have to? No. Consider that payment for the time you knocked me into a puddle of burning oil."
She almost retorts, thinks for a moment, and then shrugs. She then realizes that no one (except Lee) knows who 'Lenos' is and says:
"Oh right, this is Lenos Tri'Anu. He's an asshole, and if he sets you on fire, its probably deliberate. You can thank him for all the firetraps," she says with a dry expression.
Lenos, diving behind the bar, emerges with a bottle of his own while muttering something about "more than firetraps".

A machine catches your eye, as it has been recently used. On the side it says "Keen Machine", with an arrow on the top with a smiley face labelled "Put stabby in here".

As long as you don't attack anyone, or interact with anything that could be noticed (grass, for example), you're still in stealth. Fuck, you're right, where are the stables. There they are.

Actually, while you were dead you had a remarkable dream of standing beside the Fuhrer in front of over a million troops, all lockstep and pristine regimented unity. Banners waved in the breeze as all cheered in percussive unison.

Well, the moment you act against someone else, you automatically un-stealth, unless they're asleep or you can immediately kill/incapacitate/overpower them.
At the moment, you are still 5'-6' tall though.

Now Trump has spent quite a few moments inside his head. Or perhaps he has been walking around the building while time has been frozen. Maybe it was another dimension?
Whatever the case, at some point Vandereim decided to interject, and when he did so, the world stopped and became rather monochrome. Trump is free to do whatever he likes in this frozen time-ness, except all objects are fixed in stasis and cannot be moved.
During this time Vandereim talks a little bit of shit, but mostly describes about how his last master - one Ga'Ren Stavenglen, a Paladin and elven prince - was the leader of the FIRST group to play the Game. It was that group that first created the pyramid/crystal tower, and they did so intending to defeat the Game. The Game is tied to a particular magical beast, known to some as the Terrasque. During this time, the party consisted of a whole troupe of adventurers, who had their designs on terminating the Terrasque who had plagued ALL the realms since time immemorial. They developed a very calculating plan and set their plan into motion. That plan hinged on a rather new member of the party, a surly grey-skinned, red-haired elf/dwarf named Gilana. Gilana possessed an item that allowed her to create a temporal rift in time that allowed the party to heal, recuperate, and prepare to continue the fight. Upon reaching the Terrasque, several things happened. For one, there was a tremendous explosion, and everyone was separated. Additionally, Vandereim's owner (being the noble and stout fellow he was ~;_~) was at the forefront of the fight, and when Gilana's magic never occurred, he was immediately and unceremoniously ripped into many pieces. The party its self was presumably killed or fled (probably kill) and the Terrasque continued on unmolested.
What was once the most magnificent assemblage of adventurers ever was reduced in moments to grease-spots, blood spatter, and slowly digesting tissue.
The kicker is that this 'Thez' that everyone refers to is the same Gilana from 300 years ago, and she seems younger now, and worlds more dangerous, then she was then.

A white and copper clydesdale, a medium-sized white mare with silver, and another salt and pepper mare which Trump acquired when Infernius jacked the white and copper one.

Trump takes immense interest in this story. He asks Vanderiem, "how do we make this Terrasque leave us and all realms alone? Need we kill it? If so, how do we do so?"
>>4164
Wrong. Trump's horse is Inferius's Copper maned mare, which he takes from Inferius after Inferius finds the mare is too small for him

The Terrasque is tied to the Game. In the sense that the outer reaches of space are the "exterior border" of the Game, the heart of the Terrasque is the "interior border". Destroying the heart has been fabled as the only way to escape this realm. As far as how to kill it, thats difficult to say. The beast has an insane amount of vitality (it has more hit points than a castle), it regenerates constantly, its immune to most direct magic, and while it is larger than any dragon its also many times more agile. Its unintelligent, entirely feral, and always hungry.
But the general plan is(was) to kill it.

Yes, I just reviewed, again, and detected the part where you and Infernius switched cuz the copper mare didn't care for the huge. I originally described the salt-pepper as a mare, but it was intended to be a ninja-stallion. I apologize for any inaccuracy in reporting.

There can be a ninja horse in the stable (the one Inferius actually rode?) but the one Trump rode in on was the copper maned mare

Okay. It is correct that Trump ended up riding the white-copper MARE back to the pyramid. The salt and pepper hoers WAS in fact a stallion, which is the one Infernius rode.
