Well how about that,... air pirates. And they call their ship a derivative of "Cunt" too. I wonder if there's a connection, GM says dryly.
This leg of the game has the players either onboard or somewhere in the vicinity of the 'random' pirate airship that has taken to firing upon Trump Tower, as well as several of the characters. Unfortunately, a spell-caster onboard has placed a spell of Peace on the ship, and now there's a shimmering wall of force surrounding the captain.
Thez is hovering about 45deg from the front, ready to attack. Lenos is preparing for a Meteor Swarm, Infernius is speeding toward the ship, and Torcuil said "Fuck the Bullshit" and just teleported to it.
Trump wants to engage in diplomacy, but he rolled a 1 so he has to wait, and Tracy can't stab at ALL, which is an entirely new sensation for her.

I'll ask because it still bothers me. Why did you get so bent out of shape when you failed that fast-mounting check last night? You know, I didn't have her keep going because I didn't want him there, I just didn't want the Captain to get away. I looked at the rules and figured "if I ignore armor check penalty, he's got a 50/50 chance to get on her back in time to catch this guy", so I left it to the roll. Normally, you wouldn't be able to fast-mount a Yuge creature at all, but I simply ignored that because it hasn't been a problem yet.

It's mostly because I am still jealous of and hate the fact that you haxxed your way into super powers. Being able to fly, being able to fly magically, and being able to fly at a speed that is three times (unarmored) human speed and three times my flying mount's speed. That's really the main reason, although that was a necessary but not sufficient cause.

But then you were saying "do a ride check," which seemed like weird rule cucking for a number of reasons. First of all, why not just mount normally? It's not like Tracy's dive speed isn't faster than infernius's dive speed. She could catch up, and I figured since Trump had initiative anyways he could mount and then she speeds off without losing a round.

But it just seemed like rules lawyerring against my character in a way that made little sense and was extremely hypocritical. Yeah I know you're supposed to have a 10 on a ride check to ride a large horse into battle. No one cares, and we haven't used ride checks the whole campaign, so for you to insist on it then seemed like bringing up an obscure and unused rule for no reason.

You said "he has to roll a 20 to fast mount." When I checked later I realize that means a dice roll plus modifiers, but at the time you said that I thought you meant "he has to roll a natural 20" which just seemed like a smug and cocky as fuck statement.

So it was me being upset with the Tracy character being able to fly at 90ft, combined with annoyance at being rule cucked, and more than anything, it was extreme hypocrisy of the two at the same time. Just think about it for a moment "he haxxs his way into making his character be able to fly, and fly at three times the speed I could walk (without armor) or my special mount could fly but he wants me to have a 50% chance of failing to sit on a damned horse when ride checks haven't been enforced in this entire campaign? Fuck your haxx, fuck your attempts at rule cucking, fuck your hypocrisy, and fuck you." And that was the feeling

That was a shitpost. But if we're being more serious, like a mare.

In the end, the captain got away anyway, so I guess that calculating was pointless, but Tracy might've caught him if I were present...

I didn't ask for the ride check because I suddenly found it necessary, I just considered that the mounting action might factor into how long it took for her to reach the captain.

I mean like a light horse, pony (d&d pony, not an mlp pony), heavy horse, light warhorse, heavy warhorse, or warpony. But female. What's the handle animal DC on that? I've noticed virtually none of the handle animal DCs are higher than 20. So "get the mare to be okay with being sexxed" can't be that high, right?

I'd assume having sex with an entirely wild animal is much more difficult. My question assumed a horse than was of an entirely domestic breed and had been trained already to let humans ride her
