What it is? Its an ongoing thread-based fantasy RPG
What it do? Players do their thing based off dice scripts and 3.5e D&D as a rules baseline.
Throughout the week we shitpost at one another and on weekends we kill shit or surmount some form of obstacle. New players always welcome.
The party currently has a trebuchet, a series of cannons, and an airship with another series of cannons aimed at a floating black pyramid just out from the docks of Port Barry. Its not actually a pyramid, its an octahedron, but its half submerged. Some quick thinking from the resident Mage kept it from teleporting away and escaping, and now the party is looking to crack that bitch open and see what sorta toys are inside. And kill shit.

>tfw trying to sleep but "elves" keep stepping on you
GM, could Torc possibly craft those orbs that Temptest uses at the begining at the movie?

Either them or something along those lines. It depends on exactly the effect you're going for. They appear to encase the victim in crystal or stone, and there's a number of spells that use that type of effect or something similar.

>Don't see her as stuck up
That's probably the wrong word. Maybe more like "judgemental." In her limited dialogue she expressed disgust at Trumpaladin's sex with Tracy (she went back on this when she figured there was a religious purpose to it), disgust at the suggestion of keeping the sloppy remnants of the Tarasque Football, and my favorite line from her - the condescension expressed in saying "I'm surprised to see the blue one didn't eat you" to Slovenia when they first met. It's like GM's idea of Lawful Good is "condescending and self-righteous." I love it.
>Mythril is expensive and time consuming
Pfft! Even with a large sized non-humanoid it's only like 4800 for Fae and 5600 for Trachemar. And if Lenos can't make it quickly, I bet the gnomes can. Besides, I've been trying to set up a metallurgical industry in Port Barry. Surely they can do mythril smithing
>it should at least be able to negate touch-range attacks
Can it? I mean, it's kind of intuitive that Mounted Combat represents a rider moving the mount out of the line of Attack, so maybe it increases the Touch Attack AC
>Trumpaladin can train for it
I'm not sure what his next feat should be, but I really want Weapon Finesse for him and Vanderiem. I am not sure if GM will let me take that as his racial feat. Fae should train for Hover, Fly-by attack, or Improved Grapple

So, is the party ready for the crawl yet?

Its not so much that thats my impression of Lawful Good, its how I imagine Fae might respond to such,... diverse behavior from a paladin and the party he interacts with.

>Weapon Finesse for him and Vanderiem
A Bastard sword is nowhere close to a light weapon. It's too heavy to be finessable.
You'd want something like Weapon Focus in bastard swords if you want moar damage with it (he's already gained proficiency, right?)

Bring the ship down right next to it, then fire with the canons.

>These fuckers are proceeding anyways before I can get my tendies
At least 1. target an area at the precise center of the area between the two far ends where it should be weakest 2. Order attacks with mundane artillery at similar points on other sides of the pyramid so it isn't immediately obvious which side has the breach and 3. Order the General, Ghestapo, Slovenia and whoever to be ready to attack anything that comes out of the breach, and after the party go in, to attack anything that isn't the party coming out

YOU HAVE A WAIfU. FUCK HER. YOU ARE IN AN RPG. THERE IS NO REASON TO FAP.
When I want my character to masturbate to Slovenia or some other cute but untouchable pony, I just have him have sex with or sleep-rape Tracy as a proxy. Your character can do the same - except, you know, with Thez

Alright, so the main reason I did not want the egg crapped open without my being there was because I figured it would be done wrong. So here's how I would do it.
First off, before we go in, get Torcuil to reactivate the magic shield on the airship. It's kind of obvious to do so. I have no idea it would stop those flying undead things from flying in, but it would prevent an ethereal sneak attack, and maybe it would stupify and confuse the enemy the way it did us, just long enough to allow multiple rounds with ranged weapons. That's important because the airship is going to have to be left guarded only with low level NPCs. Also, and this is very important, familiarize at least one NPC with use of the airship controls, so it can be maneuvered while the party is away
Now, how to bombard the pyramid. The Party now has three sets of cannons. Seven from Durpistan, an unknown number in the Jolly Cunt, and the 14 bigger and better ones in the slipper cunt. This allows for three separate sides of the pyramid to be shot at once from different angles. One by the Ghestapo operating the Jolly Cunt, One by the Spartans operating the captured cannons on the docks, and one operated by the generals on the airship. The reason three sides should be shot at once is so that the persons inside the pyramid are confused and unable to tell immediately which side has been penetrated, or perhaps may even believe that the newer shots with the airship cannons are the same as the earlier shots from the older cannons, and thus may not realize the hull has been breached at all. When this is accomplished, the Jolly cunt should be maneuvered around so that its cannons can be focused on the breach, or perhaps the Ghestapo should exit and return to the docks.
As soon as the pyramid is breached, the party should enter. However, once the party has entered, the breech may be used by the occupants of the pyramid to exit and attack the city. To this end, slovenia should keep the trebuchet focused on the breech, and the spartans should focus cannons on it, being prepared for Melee combat if anything comes to the docks. Likewise, the ghestapo should return to prepare for melee combat
The generals will remain in the airship to provide ranged support. They should have masterwork composite longbows, with those who can handle them having higher strength ratings, the far shot feat for a range increment of 165 feet, weapon focus for a better attack, weapon specialization for better damage, and that one feat that eliminates the penalty for shooting at an opponent engaged in melee combat with an ally. I was unfortunately not able to buff them up much for melee combat should the enemy get too close, but they have point blank shot, which gives a slight boost at danger close range. In the alternative, if there are any shots left in the Slippery Cunt's cannons, the Spartans can stay on the Slippery cunt to operate those, and then provide melee support in the Slippery Cunt is boarded.

Yeah, but you ignore the fact that the characters still have freedom of movement independent from the group.
It's not your game alone. Let other faggots decide what they want to do with their roles/characters.

How much time does your character have? When you do something with your character that takes an hour, then time in the game has advanced an entire hour. When the rest of us come back and see that time has still advanced an hour, we often can't respond to an event that has already happened, and may even lose an hour
For instance, if you just "crack open" the pyramid without doing any of the preparations described above, you run several risks that could be prevented simply by following the preparations.
Look, I like this game too. And one of the things I like most about it is preparing strategies like I did in >>44960. When you say "just crack it open" cuz' impatient, then I lose my ability to play the game

Well, since >>44960 >>44961 >>44962 is the preparations I want to do, and because Infernius agrees in >>44978, let's say that Trumpaladin makes the preparations to execute this plan in the lead up to the breech. Because the Infernius character is busy railing Thez, let's say that he gives Trumpaladin authority to use his forces for this purpose
Also, I should have specified this, but the side that the Airship breechs has to be one that can be shot at from the docks and from water, although I guess at an angle. Because of the shape of the harbor, I do think this will be possible, but the forces targeting the other sides will need to be moved to face the breech as the party enters. Since the party will be there to respond to any immediate threats at first, and because the generals will be providing ranged support on the airship, there should be time to do this appropriately
Also, prior to to breech shot, at least one salvo should be shot at the Pyramid from the false sides, so that way the enemy is under impression that the real breaching salvo is as ineffective as the salvos that preceded it, effectively "crying wolf" in cannon shots

Why wouldn't they? Especially if Infernius hands Trumpaladin the Fasces, which I'm sure is his standard
Why wouldn't they? Especially if Infernius hands Trumpaladin the Fasces, which I'm sure is his standard
In Ancient Rome, roman cohorts were lead by officers who carried the Fasces. The Fasces is a symbol of Collective Authority rested in and excercised by a single individual. This symbolism is recognized by Infernius.
One of Infernius's Feats is "Standard Bearer." Since it's homebrew, we may as well have a bit more fun with it and say that he is a literal standard bearer. That is, he literally carries around a Fasces that symbolizes his leadership. If it were given to another individual, it would be a clear sign of "I am authorized to lead you on behalf of your true leader while he is absent." So why not do that, and we can have savvy preparations while Infernius fucks his waifu

I would bet on later morning, like 11 AM or maybe as early as 10
