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!

The 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

Ponimaru 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).

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?

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.

Idk 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.

Stop 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.

Ask 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

I 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.

Well, 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...

That's going to be extremely difficult... It may be difficult enough even to keep Trumpaladin from being obligated to fight on behalf of Tracy
The 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

Reeeeeee! 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 dime
Transfer 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

Under special qualities.
Of course, he doesn't know that. It'd just seem like stabbing a skeleton wouldn't be making very much progress.

Slashing should land when coming from a magic sword. Especially since Vanderiem is Epic level magic against Evil foes, (+7).

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

I 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.
