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!

>>37764No. You have more than enough haxxor power from that goddamn nightmare bullshit. Stop fucking trying to milk it for more
>>37763>>37766um am i allowed armor or am i gonna be banned if i ask?
>>37764>character development potentialFucking how? She's not supposed to have outsider powers in the first place
>>37766>HaxxWhat did I ask for, and how is it against the rules of the game? Tracy wants to know why and how she transformed.
Night Hags created nightmares; in mythology, they're neatly synonymous.
And most of all IT'S JUST AN IDEA. What about this idea is so terrible that it had to be deleted a dozen times to keep it from poisoning the minds of the foolish goyim?
>>37769Nightmares, in the form of equines, don't exist in mythology. They are D&D creations, made to be the dirt of equine equivalent of a hellhound
>>37772They they do. Look it up. They're the demons that the hags ride.
>>37774im tired off you being a tyrannical faggot.
>>37770I'm afraid I can't do that Mr. Fug
>>37768>>37766Tracy doesn't want more powers, she wants to learn about the one she has
>>37775I've tried looking it up. It doesn't exist
>>37776Fuck off
>>37777Bullshit. This is a way to get more freebies
>>37779Are you going to sperg out about things that happened earlier or are you going to contribute?
>>37777>quads I USE THIS POWER TO CONFIRM
>>37776See you faggots later, I'm gonna do something else https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mare_(folklore)https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_hagYou know this game is based off European mythology, right? There's a reason why Night Hags appear riding otherworldly ghost horses
>>37778Yes they do.
And who the fuck are you to judge who gets which "freebies"? It's not just your game.
>>37781Quad power is non-transferable and cannot be moved after the fact. You must make it in the post, or not at all
>>37780stop being a tyrant i was trying to help you talk it out but you deleted a shit ton of my posts.
>>37782Those aren't horses, those are demons. That's the meaning of the term "mare." That word is German for demon. It's not referring to a horse
And fuck your freebies
>>37785>aren't horsesYou obviously didn't read the whole article.
>>37786No shit, I'm phone posting from a bathtub
>>37785And regardless, I just want to try it out in game just for fun. In the lore the hags are the ones who created Nightmare by dismembering Pegasi and subjecting them to a black magic ritual, so I just threw the idea out there that she might seek out the nature of her transformation by asking one, if she ever managed to somehow have a peaceful encounter. It was an idea to develop her as a monster and as a Blackguard, but still JUST AN IDEA.
>>37786Well now I've skimmed through one of the articles, and I see shit talking about dogs and mice, but I definitely don't see anything about horses
>>37788Okay. I still hate the etherealness
Alright. Yes of course Infernius can have armor, that was a silly question. He may get banned for it, but he can have it oh what, I can't shitpost?
>>37791adamantine full plate of bovines growth hormone.
>>37792That's not s thing, and you already have enough buffs, including an epic tier buff, that give you more strength than everyone else combined
>>37793the gm can make anything.
>>37781As for Trocuil's skills:
The only class skills available are: Bluff, Concentration, Craft, Knowledge (arcana), Profession, and Spellcraft. Any other skill is available, but at twice the skill point cost. Concentration is the only one that's particularly essential desu, as it determines how readily he can concentrate (not loose his spell) if he takes damage during casting.
>>37793Actually, they're still safe in Thez' bracelet. He hasn't gotten them back yet. All he has is the bracers of armor, his flaming sword, and a ring of regeneration.
>>37789There was another article about hags on my computer which connected them to horses. The demons themselves are often depicted as horses as well. The French spirit, the Cauchemar, roughly means 'Spirit that tramples', the same way incubuses (aka "mares") and hags tread upon the bodies of the living and >rape them in their dreams.
The Norwegian version can be directly translated to "mare-ride". Under the Beliefs section, it mentions that the mares we're often depicted to "ride" horses, leaving them exhausted and covered in sweat in the mornings.
There's a reason why I've been pulling all these ancient Germanic, Nordic, and Iclandic folklore references out, like the Nithing. The story about King Vanlandi Sveigðisson, being assassinated in his sleep by a mare summoned by a sorceress who was hired by his vengeful, abandoned ex-wife was actually the reason why I chose to class her as an Assassin.
>>37797That Nightmare tactics article you linked once described the "pegasus with wings ripped off" thing as being a D&D 5th Edition creation. The wikipedia article describes the spirits of the night as appearing in the form of women, mice, dogs, cats, and I think bats but nothing about horses
>>37796Why has he not taken them back? They are so useful
>>37794I had to work hard to get a +5 bonus on strength. You have a +14 strength bonus that I'm already extremely jealous of, and you want much more?
>>37798reeeeeeeeeeee >>37798I took that into account as well.
I'm a huge mythology nut.
>>37799I guess this is probably a bad time to give you shit about not using that ion stone then?
>>37800I still think you're making stuff up or confusing recent D&D fluff with real mythology
>>37801Of course I'm using the ion stone!
>>37802>confusing recent D&D fluff with real mythologyWhy not mix them a bit? I can tell that the Hags in The Game are clearly based off of the Hags in mythology.
Also, unban my main IP so I can show paintings from the Renaissance era to show how they're depicted with horses.
>>37801I was going to use it, but I didn't want to start drama by causing someone to get butthurt over distribution of wealth.
>>37805Fuck you, my character took and is using that Ion stone, and has been since it was acquired
>>37799What's wrong with him having more Str?
>>37803Agreed, particularly the Night Hags, as mythological dream invaders. Its not an expressed correlation, but its quite intuitive.
So I'm getting the impression that players want stat hax now.
>>37808God, can we delay to any other night?
>>37809>delayUhm,... I'm still trying to piece together what happened and where everything 'is'. IDK what you mean by delay
>>37807Because why the fuck does he get twice as much damage per hit as me, and all of the same follower and attack bonuses, but also the entire damned cleric spell list?
>>37811Because nigger I've been using that stone the whole time!
>>37812If he can increase his Str through legal means, why shouldn't he? It doesn't make your character any less strong.
Stop trying to nerd other party members.
>>37807this strength is my thing.
>>37814>>37815The most he could get is gauntlets of ogre strength, which is +2. He'd have to exchange them for his gloves though
