With Nuts of course.
Happy Holidays to everyone! Whether you celebrate Christmas, Yule, Hearths Warming, or some other degenerate (Kwanza) or (((unspoken))) tradition, I hope you have a safe and 'as happy as possible' holiday season as you no doubt maneuver in and out of the world of normies and others!
I have no idea if any crucial gaming will occur weekend, but its about to get funky-fresh on several fronts. We last left Torcuil trying to navigate through Krenshal for someone skilled and crazy enough to build a Robo-ponk. Trumpaladin and Tracy were getting their things together to hunt a Unicorn with Elway's blessing and direction. Thez is being a little bit emo (its the hormones) while Infernius continues being a dutiful and upstanding guy.
What will happen next, and in what order? Will the players defy GM's careful designs for the umpteenth time? You can bet on that!

>>36860Ah, I understand. Go ahead and say it can't be done, idc"That'sunderstandable,canIcheckbackinabout, ohsayanhour?"
>>36862And where is Tracy positioned?
Consider the area around the stables looking ish like so. To converse, Trump would have to be in the open to her, and I'm assuming he's approaching.
>>36867Trump has positioned himself as between troll and the exit as possible
>>36867She's hidden just around the corner, in range for a Sneak Attack, her alignment magically concealed.
Thez comes out of ethereal in the center of the hallway, drawing Trollestia's attention, as well as Trump and Tracy's.
"Fuck."
>>36870"OH COME ON! You decide to show up finally and it's now and here!"
>>36870Tracy ignores Thez, and Makes her triple Sneak Attack while Troll's attention is divered with two Been-edged bane daggers and her sword.
>>36872Thez has a weird look in her eye. "You've got assassins, yes? You should call them.
>>36874Well, you guys wanted to get up out of the Court City, Thez said "they'll be back", and its far easier for me to wage an epic-scale conflict when all the party's general and human resources are on hand. ^_^
>>36864Incase you didn't pick up, I wanna get Torc to the tower
>>36875Roll the dice or it doesn't count
>"No! Abandon plan!" >>36876Can I'z mount Troll?
Trumpaladin backs away and slips out of the room
>>36880What was that? The fortitude for the Death attacks or the Reflex for the Sneak Attacks?
>>36876I TRIED to bring her last time, but SOMEONE said something about her being unsubtle
Remember, those aren't attack rolls, those are saving throws. Trollestia takes a long-swipe up the side of her neck, while getting stabbed through the chest-plate (not ALL the way through her but most of the way) while another dagger disembowels her in sudoku-like efficiency.
I don't even need to roll the dice on that one. Trollestia is kill. And then, Trollestia changes shape and form, and a very-murdered and partially dissected Ponimaru lies on the ground in front of Tracy.
>>36887Goddamn it. Fuck you Thez. Fuck you.
>>36887REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I used Detect Good for exactly this reason. Does Ponimaru have an aura?
"Faust almighty! Where is she?!"
*assumes monstrous shape*
>>36889"I can't be here right now. Stand aside"
[3d20 = 40]>>36887"oh no ponimaru!"
*draws sword pushes trump out of the way.*
"tracy what have you done?!"
slash slash slash
>>36892>>36891>>36887Nevermind. I misread that scene. Trumpaladin says "clever girl" and leaves the room
>>36891Oh relax, its far more complicated than you think.
>>36892Yes, Ponimaru is good, and in this case was polymorphed to appear as Trollestia in exchange for a previous favor she did for him. Meta, so no immediate responses, just shock and awe.
>>36894Already? You're attacking?
[4d20 = 51]>>36894"LEAVE TRACY ALONE!"
Quick draw Vanderien. draw ring shield.
Slash Infernious
>>36894Pushing Trump should require its own action, shouldn't it?
Does she get an Attack of opportunity?
>>36887"What did I tell you about being a white-knight?!"
*shoves body in the bag and disappears into the Ethereal plane*
>>36898"I don't know lad, I dunna like this situation a tall!" Vandereim says.
So Infernius has first declared action. In this sense, he is
taking initiative (decisive first move). Everyone else rolls for initiative, behind his stated move.
"I'llbebacksoon,Iwanttogocheckonmyfriends."
Torc teleports to the Tower after grabbing some food.
Hearing noises in the stable he heads that way and walks in.
"I got....
Food..."

>>36900You can get the body or you can jaunt. You cannot do both in the same round. Pick one
>>36902Gif didn't attach, and won't fucking attach
>>36903Did she take that hit, or did Infernius fail to push Trump to the side?
If she's not wounded, she puts the body in the bag, if she 's hurt, she jaunts.
"What the fuck are you wankstains doing?"
>>36900Tracy is greeted by a looming ring of very tall and very evil undead. Some with cages for torsos, inside which lie little grasping forms with hollowed-out glowing eyes, faces seeming to shriek with no words coming out, others seem a slender representation of the night its self, with sinister eyes being the only apparent distinction about them. Myriad forms swirl about, of a variety of forms and shapes and appearances, all held back meekly by a silly hat with a charm attached that Tracy gave Thez one time, with a piece of string about 60'diameter chalked out. The circle represents a position on a sphere which though not represented can be observed by all sorts of ghoulish nastiness piling on top of and along an invisible barrier.
>>36906He has insane strength. That round of attacks would kill her I think
[1d20 = 13]
Rolling initiative.
[1d20 = 3]Ah fucking hell, why did Torc teleport back?
>>36908"WHAT THE ACTUAL EVER LIVING FUCK?!"
I guess initiative
>>36912>3>fucking 3Torc is going last, isn't he?
>>36911She says that out loud.
>>36908>barrierI'm confused. Is it keeping them out or holding her in?
>>36914Keeping them out. Now go to a nearby room, enter the material plane, go to Flashy so he can heal you, mount you, and the two can flee to Mexico
>>36915She does this.
Then she flies off with him to the forest which is still on fore, frothing at the mouth.
Trumpaladin uses his dimension door helm to go to a room in the tower on a different floor, then calls Tracy as mount
>>36894Alright, so the 16 and the 19 would have hit, but drawing a sword is a move action without the requisite feat, meaning Infernius could charge
and draw his weapon, or he could attack w/ fists. Since he's unarmed, he could attempt a grapple for both without drawing an attack of opportunity, having
ahem grappled with Thez on so many occasions.
>>36904K, you got a 20 so I'll put you in second.
At the last moment, Vandereim veers off of course, causing a miss. "Lad, this doesn't seem anything like ye. and I doont know if I can be a part of it."
>>36903No, I'll allow both.
>>36912>3Kek
>>36914Them out, but its very weak and obviously improvised.
Thez takes a deep breath, while from the entrance an emerging Gestapo specialist enters and yells out in unison. "We're under attack,"/"WE'RE UNDER ATTACK!!!"
>>36918Adm. Torc yells at the specialist "By fucking WHAT MAN?"
Torc throws snek staff and wraps Mr. Snek around him, then draws both pistols.
>>36918To Vanderiem:
"No, I don't want any part of this, but Tracy expects things from me. She expects me to attack her attackers when she is attacked"
>>36916Hold on tiger, you used up your move gathering the body and going ethereal where there's the pile of undead.
Thez <shoooomp> meshes in and gestures.
"I don't know how long the seal I put up will hold them, but there they are. I don't know why they're there, but I doubt its a random occurrence, and this guy back here (meaning material) seems to have more information."
>>36918Let's say that Trumpaladin Dimension doors out of the scene, and calls Tracy in the new room
>>36921"The dead!" the man says, not fearfully but desperately. "Legions"
>>36923[angry monster noises]
>>36924Stay there faggot. Don't make her use-up a turn finding him.
>>36925"Legions?"
Torc turns to Thez looking for an explanation
"The fuck are legions?"
>>36921Too late faggot, is he beating/grappeling or is he drawing a weapon and smash?
>>36926"She made the little weeb take the hit for her. I don't believe it!"
[furious nightmare noises]
>>36926And get attacked by Infernius or Thez? No way in hell hes staying behind after being caught. Not a chance in hell. Not even for an invasion. He'd dimension door to a room, call Tracy, heal her, call Fae and ask her what is going on, and then go to the monestary to fetch his soldiers and figure out what to do from there. Also, Tracy could be killed by Infernius if she reappeared in that room. She should appear in a different room
GM, is there anyway Torc cpuld get Troll to show up?
>>36930Just move outside the stables.
>>36931Yeah fuck you he's gone before your move
>>36932[bloodthirsty nightmare noises]
>>36933Infernius would grapple. No. That's stupid
>>36936>>36936He's not going to grapple after the Gestapo show up. Stay there.
[Furious nightmare noises]
>>36927"Imagine being surrounded on all sides, on 3 dimensions instead of 2 (spherical geometry) and you've got an idea. The ethreal plane should be considered compromised,"
>>36932Oh she's outside the tower, and she's going full alicorn. She's pissed.
So with Infernius grappling, Tracy needs to roll 2 d20 saving throws.
[1d20 = 8]>>36937Grapple gives an attack of opportunity. Draw suigoto and attack of opportunity
Then fucking flash step the hell out of there
>>36940Why you attack the healer when meta reveals the undead are attacking? It doesn't stop the grapple either.
>>36939>legion"Welp, that sucks ass."
Torc heads outside to see how this is going down. What he see?
>>36939so we are surrounded on multiple planes?
>>36941BECAUSE HE NEEDS TO AVOID GETTING KILLED! THE UNDEAD CAN WAIT UNTIL HE IS SAFE
[2d20 = 18]>>36939Can she escape grapple with her escape artist check? She has 5 ranks in it.
>>36944Relax. He's not getting killed.
>>36941The attack of opportunity does. He has a +16 base, a +5 strength, +3 suigoto and rolled an 8 against Infernius's 17 AC, which means the attack landed and did damage, so the grapple fails
>The dead always act as heralds of Legion's coming. In places of great death and destruction, where the dead are not buried, burned, or respected.
Well fuck................
>>36939Wait, how did he grapple herwhile she was ethereal?
>>36946Stop attacking PCs. We've got more important shit.
>>36943"Eyyyuup."
>>36942The port is surrounded by a ring of darkness. Its not pure darkness like on the ethereal plane, its a scorched and empty decayed sort of darkness. Much is zombified, others are skeletal. Some aren't even specific creatures, they're just a collection of bones that happens to make a weird distorted bone murder shape. Its as though the collective natural deposits of the land have been animated to emerge and combine.
>>36945He's spooked. Trollestia should have known about the plan ahead of time because he told her, but Infernius and Thez should not have been there. He's running the fuck away until he's in a safe spot, then he'll figure out what the fuck to do from there
>>36948Nigger that's him fucking fleeing
>>36949>doot doot"TROLL, CAN I GET A LIFT?"
>>36949i rush outside on uatchit.
Call Fae. Ask her what the hell that guy meant by "invasion"
>>36950He's the Paladin. Paladins don't run.
>>36949Can Tracy go outside?
Where is Trollestia?
>>36955It's a tactical withdrawal
>>36957Fuck you nigger. And leave my waifu alone
>>36958fuck you this is all your fault faggot.
>>36953She <whoooof> grabs onto Uatchit's underside.
>>36955There's a radiant rainbow presence above the Tower that is shooting beams of light into the intermittent encroachment of arial undead, if thats what you're askying.
>>36956Do what you want...
>>36958>>36959Fight the zombies first, faggots.
