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!

>>37169Trollestia caused Tracy to kill Ponimaru through her trick
>>37170Why did you think Ponimaru was some kind of "lover"?
She's not a colt-cuddler
anymore >>37171Ponimaru is the colt that Tracy bullies in her spare time. It is by no means a romantic thing.
>>37171The only things Trumpaladin knows about Ponimaru is that he's male, he's of approximately the same species as Tracy, and Tracy once ditched him for an opportunity to go see Ponimaru. He's only seen him like once before, but that's all he needs to know.
When I was looking back through older threads I saw there was this entire session full of a battle between Lenos and Thez, an exploration of the Dias, and an interaction between Tracy and Ponimaru that I never read (and still haven't) that explains a lot of things like the fear of Lenos. All of this information should be as unknown to Trumpaladin as it is to his faggot
>>37172And Slovenia is just Trumpaladin's artillery-mare.
>>37173Tracy and Ponimaru haven't actually interacted very much at all, desu... Two of the ~6 times they met in session, she 1-shotted him...
>>37174Well Tracy's made it pretty clear that if she ever catches him doing with her as one does with a waifu, then she'll coerce him into killing and then eating the poor mare. Which he obviously does not want to do or have happen to her.
\r
>>37176>she'll coerce him into killing and then eating the poor mareShe never said anything about eating.
And she could kill her herself, so don't sweat it
(actually, do. Sweat hard). Slovenia is her friend though, so she wouldn't want to kill her unless she stepped over the line.
>>37168Why's ponimaru have to die? Also the beyotch was cuz I was drinking last night and it looked like you wanted to run and hide.
>>37177So would Tracy
not eat Trollestia then? Seems uncharacteristic desu.
>>37168>>37178Ponimaru shouldn't have to die at all; he wasn't meant to. Tracy put his body in her bag so she could resurrect him later (and give him a thorough whipping for tricking her).
She
meta intends to keep Troll dead though.
>>37178>So would Tracy not eat Trollestia then?Well, probably parts of her; I hadn't planned that far, because I'd be tempted to spoil shit through meta. Although I
meta had originally intended to have her make another Nithing and feed part of her to her birds, because muh symbolism.
Also, why haven't the Devourers begun to attack the living yet? They can freely access the material plane can't they?
Devourers are creepiest pasta.. If they get you, you can't even be revived...
>>37179Nah, keep that bitch dead. Fuck him
>>37178Cause the bastard is going after his waifu. Unlike Trollestia, he's not a party asset, but rather only interacts tangentially with the party. He has no value alive. And why not hide from danger? They want to do harm, they can come to him and his personal army
>>37181>Fuck himY U h8 Ponimaru?
>going after his waifuNo he isn't. He's afraid of her, if anything. Tracy just chases after him because she finds it hilarious to torment him.
>he's not a party asset>has no value aliveThat's not how you quantify life, Anon...
>>37182>Why hate ponimaruBecause Tracy ditched Trumpaladin for him! I tried to have him kill Ponimaru in that encounter, but Infernius got in the way. Now he's dead, so keep him dead
>Hilarious to tormentI know how she shows love
>Feeling pity for a fictional horseThen why no pity for Trollestia, who has actually been helpful at times?
>>37181>why not hide from danger?Paladins don't run from danger; they fight it, especially when said danger is undead. Your character literally radiates courage and is immune to fear as a class feature; keep up with the character.
>>37184Are Infernius, Thez and Torcuil undead?
>>37184Question, how many remains is Tracy carrying at the moment?
>>37185Of course not, why would you ask?
>>37183>Tracy ditched Trumpaladin for himNo she didn't.
>I tried to have him kill Ponimaru in that encounter*disappointed stare*
>>37185They weren't going to kill him, and if so, not permanently.
>>37183>who has actually been helpful at times?Ponimaru has been delivering messages from Ben and Thez for months now. And it's not like I, Tracy's faggot, personally hate Troll; it's just that it wouldn't be in character to let her off.
>>37186>how many remains is Tracy carrying at the moment?Whole? Just Ponimaru. She's got a few other parts, but they're only in bits and pieces.
>>37186It was a rhetorical question to signify to Tracy's faggot that he was not afraid of the undead
>>37186Have any of those Devourers made a move on the living yet?
>>37190Not yet, but the fight with the Giant Skeltal hasn't happened yet either.
>>37189My bad
It's going to be a pain and a half to load all of these undead parts into the Entertron..
Also, could we make another body-cast made out of Dimerterium, for the sake of reviving mages?
>>37193A non-stabby iron maiden then, with an open face?
>>37192Just what are you intending?
>>37194>what are you intending?Saving all the souls who were enslaved by the necromancers of the capital, of course.
Isn't that the righteous thing to do?
>>37195The entertron doesn't work on souls. It needs matter
>>37197Undead turn back into living when Ressurection is used on them.
We could revive every corpse in the Port.
>>37191Can we give the Cloud Giant skeleton a red hat and suit?
>>37199Uhm,... that's not how it works. Resurrection destroys undead utterly. Bringing the person back is a no go at that point.
>>37199Those undead could be the villains of yesteryear, always chaotic evil races, criminals, communists - who the hell knows
>>37201I read on the wiki that Resurrection and True Resurrection work on undead.
>Resurrection and true resurrection can affect undead creatures. These spells turn undead creatures back into the living creatures they were before becoming undead. >>37202Why not give them a chance? That's what we call Bliss, isn't it?
Everyone could be revived for Christmas.
>>37204I guess I just get all preachy during the holidays...
I g2g for a bit to wash the dog.
>>37203My listing shows that undead expressly can't be resurrected via
either resurrection spells, as the last line of the spell description.
>>37207Oh, I guess I'm reading a separate edition, although another site says it's 3.5e.
Too bad then...
Does that also mean PCs are done for if Animate Dead is cast on them?
>>37208Idk how the rules work, but I thought that meant undead creatures couldn't be brought back as undead creatures. Meaning zombies and vampires go back to being alive; monsters like and Nightshades, who were never among the living, stay kill.
>You can resurrect someone killed by a death effect or someone who has been turned into an undead creature and then destroyed. You cannot resurrect someone who has died of old age. Constructs, elementals, outsiders, and undead creatures can’t be resurrected.Idk though. I just want to figure out how it works.
I g2g again.
>>37184Stop with this >Paladin shit.
First off, if you want to be a white knight moralist who knows everything about what makes a great Paladin, then you should have played a Paladin. In fact, you still can play as a white knight Paladin. Just have Tracy put on the cursed hat and POOF, she's a white knight moralist just like her faggot, so you can do your moralizing in the game as well as in Meta.
Second, and more importantly,
I am keeping up with the character. This is a character who is dutiful to his protectorates and will fight for them regardless of the danger to himself. That's why he attacked Infernius after he started slashing at his fiance. That's why he charges headlong into legions of undead that are threatening the city that sees him as a protector. But I have zero intent of playing a
stupid character. He's not going to get himself killed over a damned murder plot that was questionable to begin with. Some things are worth dying for, but not everything is.
\r
>>37209What if you used the Undead to Death spell? That turns undead into regular corpses, doesn't it?
>>37208>>37209No, you're right. It was the line about undead creatures that threw me, but yes if a creature has been made into undead it can be returned to life
>>37212Hooray! It's a Christmas Miracle.
Gotta smash all the zombies before we can save them though.
>>37213Tracy helps in the task before doing whatever else she had planned
>>37213Thez is way ahead of her, lamenting all the while that she can't rebuke undead anymore.
"Oh wait! There's the words! Kek!" and all the undead around her in a 65' diameter r squish.
>>37213>>37215If you want to kill a Cloud giant before Christmas Eve...
Afternoon, whats happening?
>>37217Chillin, reading, arranging. Making sure I've got the right tables and shit.
Tracy is still cleaving her way through hordes of shambling flesh towards the Giant skeleton, still cursing on about the unicorn she ought to be killing instead.
>>37220Oh just get to the Giant already
Trumpaladin has commanded the Generals and the cute sex horse to target the giant with ranged weapons, while he readies an attack against the Giant. Or he kills shit on the way to the giant, if the demon horse is taking the scenic route
>>37221Oh and Fae. Fae is ordered to attack, the cloud giant or whatever targets of opportunity
>>37221Are they there yet? Can we start the combat?
>>37226She could just leap over them all.
I just thought we were still preparing.
>>37226Ask GM.
No ride bys. A ride by attack means that every time we attack we are "charging" and therefor only get one attack. Even with trippling the dice roll that means I only get less than half as much damage as I could if I slashed with my magic great sword four times (unless the entire damage set is multiplied by three, then maybe it might be worth it). Tracy has an AC of 26 or maybe higher, and Trumpaladin has an AC of like ~33, Tracy has 155 HP and Trumpaladin has ~104. That damned giant is a CR 11, has 200 HP and 24 AC. Don't be a pussy. After the first charge, stay in range, and kill it. It could hit us with a rock if we rode by anyways
>>37227D'aww, thanks\r
>>37228So for simplicity, what is Tracy's line of attack, as that determines for her and Trump.
>>37227Torcuil and Trollestia have only faced aquatic zombies and ghouls so far, which she can easily dispense of in waves from her undead turning, let alone Torcuil's magic.
>>37231I was actually going to ask how that was going. Good to know the frog army is useful
>>37232Oh yeah, its fine. Trollestia can airwalk all around and on top of them, the frog army can pick them off from range, Torcuil can be as creative as he wants,... you guys got this. There is a weird set of torches in the distance, but the docks are solid.
>>37229How close is "in range"? She can't just spot on a dime.
>>37231>what is Tracy's line of attackI was going to make a Spirited Charge with a lance, to do triple damage on the first ride-by attack, then go ahead and try to trip it with her dancing chain, if not set on fire.
I thought once it's legs were taken out and it fell over incapacitated, it could be finished off with Lay On Hands.
>>37231Well,
I would say spirited charge with a Lance, and then stay in square and fight it with magic swords until it is dead or we are forced to withdrawal...
>>37230That's going to be extremely difficult... It may be difficult enough even to keep Trumpaladin from being obligated to fight on behalf of TracyThe easiest thing to do is just let her be killed, then resurrect her in the entertron. That way Tracy may be satisfied, Trumpaladin has fullfilled his covanent, Trollestia lives, and you keep your steed and ally. I actually had Trumpaladin go and collect blood from her so she could be resurrected if killed. And I was intending him to resurrect her anyways>>37234>>37234Reeeeeee! Let me hit it with my sword! I want to be able to do damage too. Also, I am not sure the Trip attack works in that way
>Can't spot on a dimeTransfer all of your momentum into the giant through the lance. Seriously, you think you can spot on a dime in the air in a ride by attack and charge back the opposite direction? Physics do not work that way. And if it does, then by the same logic she can stop right next to the giant
\r
>>37234A trip attack is an unarmed melee attack. Just hit the damned thing with a sword until it dies
>>37234She lands with the Spirited Charge, but distancing from the creature quickly doesn't seem possible, unless abandoning the lances.
Now, did you mean to essentially use the chain as a trip-wire?
[4d20 = 32]>>37239Trumpaladin swings in whatever way the horse will let him
>>37235Its something low to the water, as the light from the torches - there's only 3 visible at most- reflects from the water. It drifts silently toward the docks as the water zombies and ghouls feelbly maintain their occupation.
>>37239The lance isn't magick, so let it stick in its leg.
Release the chain and let it dance all over it.
I meant to make a trip attack with the chain. That's an option, right? If not, just lash at its legs, or try to stick into its carcass and pull it over.
The Giant takes several stabs and slashes, causing visible damage but not slowing it in the slightest. It swings for Tracy/Trump.
Also, activate the robe of colors and smoke every turn.
>>37251Especially if the commander's name is "Marko"
>>37248Something like that
>>37247The Giant's crude mobility is not sufficient to land a blow against either Trump or Tracy, its arm/weapon swooshing by through the air.
[3d20 = 26]>>37254We could use a Bull's Strength to pull that thing over.
>>37253Rolling to lash with sword.
Let chain attack.
Hmmmm... what could Torc cast...
Ah yes, now I know.
"Go to gulag, cyka blyats"
>>37257e_e Rly? Magic missiles fly off and strike various targets, so weak was that meme.
[3d20 = 32]>>37255>>37255I was on an iphone with a cracked screen and a shitty browser in a bar an hour away from home when I was doing this last night, that's my excuse for not casting obvious spells like "protection from evil" or what have you...>>37257The d&d spell is called "imprisonment," although I think it's one level above your caster level. It's a scary spell...
>>37253Can Fae pounce without being harmed by undead flesh? If so, Pounce!
>>37259Um... I think I calculated her bite attack to be +18 (base is +13, +6 strength, -1 size) so that bite should land against 24 AC
>>37260This thing has Damage Reduction, weak to bludgeoning. Try using Tracy's mace to crush its bones.
>>37261Are you sure? Where is it listed?
If that's true I'll hold Fae back then. Next round. I hope to get her teeth and claws enchanted eventually.
But a bite attack can be bludgeoning damage. It can be piercing, slashing, or bludgeoning
>>37261Under special qualities.
Of course, he doesn't know that. It'd just seem like stabbing a skeleton wouldn't be making very much progress.
>>37263Slashing should land when coming from a magic sword. Especially since Vanderiem is Epic level magic against Evil foes, (+7).
Can she attack again?
Also, I'll have to go soon...
Welp, I gtg.
Incase I can't find the time, Merry Christmas guys.
What kind of weapon is this Skeleton using?
>>32720 →My intuition says the Clould Giant mace
Also, this is just the front of a much larger army that has devourers and death mages, I'll bet you
>>37271I wondering why the Devourers hadn't attacked yet. They could be wreaking havoc atm, since they already got inside the tower.
It makes me question what (((their))) strategy really is. It can't be this simple.
