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!

>>3742660 feet is one third of her charge speed. She gets that close, unless there are too many undead to make a charge, she really ought to charge
>>37428How many squares away is she?
[1d20 = 2]
As Tracy dashes forward, often leaving a ruined opponent in her wake, a shrivelled voice calls out from the darkened cloud with the stupid broom puppet-head sticking out. "Hold," it shrieks
>>37431How high-up is Tracy? It'll fucking suck if she drops Trump...
Tracy shrugs off, was that a compulsion attempt? Oh well, that dark cloud clearly needs to die cuz it sounds like spoopy talking.
>>37429She was more than one round away, but her dice roll side-stepped the efficacy of her action.
So Tracy hovers-ish across from Ruth Bader Ginsberg along(?) with,....
Thez and the Fight club secured aspects of the town, while Infernius observed the giant pile or poo divide and segment into a few dozen piles of poo, which quickly and angrily look at him.
>>37433>along(?) withTrump has been riding her the whole time.
>>37433>her dice roll side-stepped the efficacy of her actionDoes that mean she still has more rounds until she can attack with her chain?
>>37431The Horse Shoes of the Peerless steed, combined with the already high bonus from being a Paladin's mount or Cauchemar, make Tracy basically immune to compulsion spells even from God-tier spell casters.
>>37433All personel with ranged attacks - spartan, generals, and cute sex horse - who are not essential to hold the line, are to target undead between RBG and Trumpacy, as well as around them. Fae is to engage undead on the bridge, as reasonable to hold the line
>>37434Charge if possible. If not possible, I guess do ranged attacks, but you're in range of her spells, so you're basically waiting for her to kill us while we can't attack her with melee
"Get me closer. I want to hit her with my sword.
No really, almost all of our ways of harming her require us to get within ten feet. I could probably kill her in a single round with a buffed enough Paladin's lay of hands, but
I need to touch her"
>>37436Spirited Charge. Attempt to knock her off of her broom with the dancing chain once she gets within 60 ft.
>>37433Ready Attack with Vanderiem and Smite Evil when in range
>>37439
That might require a Concentration check, while riding at this rate point..
>>37440True. I went through a set of threads last night and discovered GM did not apply my Int modifier when calculating my Skill points, so I have more than realized that I can put into Ride and Concentration>>37441It's being visited by friendly undead senator Nancy Pelosi. See
>>37403\r
>>37442Can Torc drain the swamp?
>>37446More like get rid of these fuck ass zombie senators, but on a scale of 1 to "orbit of pluto" how far would draining the ocean launch my sides?
>>37449Uh... Target the senators if possible
>>37450Oh wait, why did I think you where GM?
I'm gonna wait and see what he says
>>37442Also, Don't use-up Death Ward. Cast Eagle's Splendor. You have high Char and Divine Grace. Save that Spell slot for Holy Sword to finish off the biggest boss.
>>37452Merry Christmas. >>37452easy now, I insisted on those buffs long ago
>>37453Good point on Death ward. Be advised it lasts 16 minutes though, so probably more than one encounter
I want to use eagle's splendor to buff a lay of hands attack though. How many more waves do you think are comming?
>>37453Tracy also has an odd numbered Dexterity score, meaning she gains +1 to her AC, +1 to her ranged attack score, and +1 to her chain attack score/rapier attack score if she gets the weapon finesse feat, if just one more point is allotted there
>>37452>Torc's charisma isn't odd>can't get a bonus to make fucking random things easierSad
>>37454What would drain the swamp do against the zombie senators?
>>37456I thought she had Finess by now? She was training to finess her chain this week in the holodeck.
>>37456Why did you want a Spell Resistance Cloak instead of a Cloak of Charisma? It would've been better for saves against spells.
>>37458It's been less than a day in game time since they came back from the hunting trip. And a lot of that has been spent talking or feeding birds or killing ponimaru [-]but not having sex reeeee and all the other things Tracy does in a day
>>37460Handling those huge birds should count towards Dodge training...
>>37459Because a cloak of charisma adds from +2 to +6 to a Cha score, whereas a Cloak of resistance adds from +1 to +6 to savings throws. Basically he could get the same bonus from a +3 resistance cloak as an epic tier cloak of charisma
>>37461Maybe. It's one solid week of training per feat though. Doesn't come cheap. I do know a few feats I want to give my Fae though...
>>37462>Basically he could get the same bonus from a +3 resistance cloak as an epic tier cloak of charismaYeah, so why not just go for higher Char, and use that bonus to also count towards Lay On Hands, Diplomacy, Leadership, etc? Tracy made one for him, but she just dyed it black and used it on herself after she saw he got another one.
>>37462>give my Fae thoughCan we just give feats to our animals? I thought it takes a year to train a magical beast to do one thing?
Can Tracy give feats to her birds?
>>37463Aww. That's sweetCan he's still use it for the Paladin's Lay of Hands attack? A +2 cloak would do 16 HP damage.
I think I asked for both a Cloak of Charisma and a Cloak of Resistance, so maybe both?
>>37463Well, Fae is a magical beast, which should help her. I'm going to try to advance her as much as GM will let me. There are Feats specific to monsters that Fae can take that I want for her
>>37463I believed and continue to believe that that Rapier of Puncture is perfect for Tracy. With the weapons Finesse feat, as well as the 5e version of the shape shifter's armor or a skillful placing of ability points, Tracy could have a +5 dexterity bonus to attack as well as the sword's +2 bonus for +7, besides the sword's special attack.
Apparently Infernius already promised the sword to someone else. But Tracy is a neutral evil thief. She doesn't give a shit about any promises to anyone, with the
possible exception of her betrothal, and she certainly wouldn't care for an agreement she wasn't party to.
>>37464>which should help herShouldn't it be the opposite? It takes a whole year to train a magical beast, while it only takes one week to train an animal. Animals may have low Int, but they're trained to exploit those slots much more easily than magical beasts; that's really the only excuse for giving them such low Int in the first place.
>>37466Fuck if I know. I just know I'm putting Fae in the holodeck and having her train towards a monster feat until GM tells me not to
>>37465>that Rapier of Puncture is perfect for TracyYeah, but it belongs to Darkie.
>She doesn't give a shit about any promises to anyoneTrue, but I'm not about to take my chance with stealing from the higher-level thief. I'll just murder other NPCs for their shit.
>>37467It also requires an Epic Check in Handle Animal. How many ranks did you put into that? Paladin's (and Blackguards) have that skill for the sake of training their horses, which only require a 15-20 DC to train.
>>37468Oh fuck off. Do you want to tell me how you're keeping animals exactly? You don't get an animal companion, you don't get a familiar, and it's only GM haxxor that's letting you get not one but
two animals that are not mere animals
But giant fucking animals that should eat Tracy, not listen to herNow let me advance my NPC mount the way you normally advance an NPC
>It belongs to DarkieAre you playing a lawful Good character? If yes, then please cut the "kill the unicorn" bullshit. If no, then please stop being a hypocrite and moralizing
>Not taking a chance with a higher level thiefThen will you please make Tracy not take her chances against a higher level Wizard, a Higher level Cleric, and possibly a god-level monk while trying to kill a demi-god unicorn?
\r
>>37469>higher level wizardTechinacally Torc is lvl 16 too.
>>37470The point is that the odds of success of Tracy against the entire party at once is much lower than Tracy versus Darkemeter
>>37469>You don't get an animal companionAnimal Companions are special NPCs, like Paladins's mounts.
You can own/train as many creatures as you have time to Handle, although it takes time to manage them. Rearing them from birth makes it easier.
I'm not trying to give you a hard time, I'm just wondering if that'll work, since I'll gladly jump on that opportunity if it's allowed.
>tfw Rocs count as AnimalsIf I can give these birdies feats, I'll buff them into gods.
>>37471When did she say she was fighting the entire party?
>>37472I call SamWell, the Holodeck I think requires an intelligent creature. Birds could be trained, but probably can't train themselves
>Entire Party at onceInfernius always white knights, always, and now Torcuil is joining the mix
Thank you Torcuil, she deserves someone to fight for her. I'll believe that Tracy can fight Torcuil, snek, and Trollestia all at once and win if Trumpaladin and Fae are fighting on her side, but throw in Infernius and it's no longer a fair fight.
She'd be much smarter to give it up, to delay a week, or to make a deal
>>37472Well, I have been
sadly, and unintntionally projecting myself a bit on the Troll/Torc relations.
I didn't really understand the point at first, so I blew it off. In reality, Troll has shown
if a somewhat strange and perverted affection for Torc. This would lead the hermity old Torc to fall head over heels for Troll, because of his solitary background.
>>37474TLDR, I've been fucking up my RPing
>>37474>HolodeckCan feats be acquired outside the Holodeck? Some feats feel better off being acquired on the road.
>make a dealThat's literal cuckoldry. Also, didn't I say she was irrationally angry in character?
I don't like spoiling character intentions through meta.. Let her get there first.
>>37475Torc doesn't know that Troll cheated on him too though.We'll get to that point later. Discussing it now just spoils shit. Let's kill these liches first.
Is GM here?
>>37476>Outside of the holodeckI would say yes, but the point is that it takes a literal 40 to 100 hours of doing something in order to get the feat. It's not super cheap, it's just obtainable
>Literal cuckholdryHow is that literal Cuckholdry? As I understand the meaning of the term, it means "a person whose partner has had sex with someone else besides the person while in the relationship." No one is having sex in most possible deals, so where is the cukholdry?
>Let her get there firstYou know he'll try to talk her down long before she gets there, right?
>>37475Nevermind the romantic aspect. If a demi-god unicorn agrees to be your "steed and ally," you say yes
>>37477Yes he does. The character talked to Tracy after Tracy found out. Also, Torcuil cheated on Trollestia
>>37478>where is the cukholdry?Cuckoldry involves consent or inaction of the other partner, otherwise it's NTR.
