Well, the party has gotten some things in order and has made some arrangements and plans to attack Court City in full and not as a half-assed rescue mission because of a brain worm. Speaking of brain worms, the party just kinda shrugged their shoulders and forgot about that whole "Infernius going insane and running off" bit. Hmmm. Oh well. But anyway, everyone's got some ideas and plans to put in motion. Its too bad that Port Barry is currently surrounded one 4 fronts,... that's going to complicate things.
Welcome back to the Game thread, there's over 3 dozen of 'em by now, so pardon me if I skip the introductory formalities. If you want to join, or perhaps just join in on the shitposting cuz bored, feel free. I'm working on a metric to allow new players to get in without having to go through the process of full-on mapping out a character.

>>39325"Infernius my pal, you smell like ass. Glad youre okay."
>>39327"Look at w...
Oh..."
>>39331*accommodates him, patting the back of his head*
[comforting pony noises]
>>39332"Shhh!"
*gestures towards corpses*
>>39332*points to devourers*
"Sechs is gone. As are several of my men. And your men. And Thez's. And others..."
>>39337Thez, face tear-stained and still flowing. "Its... its all," she clears her throat and says in the meekest voice ever heard (from her), "Is all my fault."
She gazes into Infernius' eyes for a moment, and he can see that there is much to be said, but for the moment, she hangs her head, collapses to her knees, and her shoulders start to quiver.
>>39338In a whisper, in the hopes that only Thez will hear her
"I knew they were likely to simply jaunt into the town, yet we stayed at the gate..."
>>39337*places other hand on Minotaur*
>>39334*holds pony tightly*
>>39338*picks up thez*
"it not your fault thez it gonna be okay theres no time to be sad we go straight to genocide for this transgression."
>>39339"I knew too, but I didn't think they'd be able to IN the town. I thought the churches to Rockwell and Hitler and Football would be enough to repel them. But," she crumbles as she says it "It was me."
"From the very beginning, I unhallowed the whorehouse when I was infernal, and they found it. They sensed it and they used that to their advantage."
Torc stands to the side akwardly looking at his stuff.
She looks at Trump first, "This is not my doing," then at Infernius "but it is my fault," then at Sechs-Devourer. "and not theirs."
>>39343Trumpaladin says absolutely nothing to Thez
>>39346"Look before you. The Devourers are already dead. It won't bring our men back"
As the dialogue continues, a shambling sound occurs from an adjacent alley. It sounds like something scraping a large mass across the ground.
>>39347"it is said the man takes on the wives sins. so me will kill who sent these me kill all faction leaders in court city after i kill this fucker
>>39350"
>>39350charges!
>>39352"Calm down Infernius. You don't know what it is..."
Don't kill off a possible source of exposition >>39351>>39352As Infernius charges, and Torcuil draws attention, a blood-splattered Slovenia shambles out from the alleyway, with a very decrepid moan issuing from her mouth.
>>39354"fuck! slav horse its gonna be okay!"
cures critical wounds!
>>39354Trumpaladin runs to her, and feeds her a heal serious wounds potion from the flask from Korak
>>39354"Oh fuck! It's Woody!"
*runs over to check condition*
>>39355>>39356"Oh wat? Oh thank goodness! Dispel!" she calls, and the images of blood spatter and decay on her person (hoerson?) vanish. "I didn't know what to do, the terbuchets worked marvelously, but we were overwhelmed from behind."
"Yeah guys listen, I hate to break you all up and intrude, but there is you all really need to see at the docks."
>>39358*Hugs pony*
"You did marvelously. Our defenses held the line. There was a vulnerability deep in town, known about before but never closed because of
political reasons which the enemy exploited."
>>39358"Let me have a look at it."
*slinks off into stealth*
>>39366i was asking thez if she was hurt.
[1d20+19 = 27]
Rolling to Move Silently
>>39369>>39368Slovenia had disguised herself as an equine Zombie, and then dispelled the disguise when she saw the party. She was not injured
And while GM is want to make jokes about being overwhelmed from behind,....
>>39360Um, this
>>39359"This was ages ago, before you arrived. She," indicating Thez "Drove them off, but not before they had wreaked havoc on those assembled."
>>39369"I... I've had worse," she says, holding back sobs. She's completely demoralized.
>>39371i know slovenia is alright, i was inquireing about thez health in particular.
>>39360"Guys? You realy need head to the docks. Some really weird shit is happening."
>>39370Don't think you can fool me on why you are going to the docks
>>39375Oh. Fucking really? Now? She's still useful you know
>>39373>>39377Alrighty then. Trumpaladin goes to the docks
>>39377"what kind of weird shit?"
>>39375Aside from the obvious? The citizens and the party?
>>39380"We should probably go see for ourselves"
