/vx/ - Videogames and Paranormal

Can I get a quick rundown on the positions of the characters, to start this off?

>>4912
Trumpaladin is technically in the bar in Port Barry with Inferius (and Thez?), but he's ready to assume his former position standing at the entrance of the ant hive

>>4913
Are the rat-folk still active there?

>>4912
As I understand, Infernius and Trump were engaged in a discussion at the bar of the Sticky Wicket, while Thez was passed out on the floor. Tracy is somewhere at the not-pyramid along with Torcuil, but only because I wanted everyone here for the visit to the Ants. Lenos is also about the base, chugging from a tankard about the size of him, as usual.

>>4914
I think they are all dead/statues of gold now. The pirates seem to have disappeared as well when the rats were defeated

>>4915
I guess it's time for Trumpaladin to return, since he was only in Port Barry waiting for Tourcil to enter the ant colony

>>4916
The pirates stopped showing up cuz they didn't care to get jewed. The townspeople have acquired and resourced one of the statues in order to purchase building supplies for a church/temple in the party's honor, and Infernius has all-but sanctified it in the name of Rockwell.
A second of the statues is now situated near the front door of the Base, and the last still remains upstairs in the Sticky Wicket (them things r heavy!).

>>4916
Alright, guess I won't leave then...
Also, what base are you using for the character-class abilities?

>>4919
Uhm,... you mean like spells and such?

>>4920
Spells, attacks, class abilities and quirks.
Up until this point I haven't done anything but stab.

>>4918
>No Elway Cathedral
This grievous injustice must be rectified!

>>4922
Oh please, there's a shrine to Elway IN the base! Besides, the sanctifying is just an excuse for Infernius to develop his clerical abilities.
>>4921
You can't do much more with daggers THAN stab. Spells so far have been per player input (either a 'on the spot' spell effect or one that most closely resembles what the player indicates). Abilities are pretty straight-forward die rolls (depending on class, Trump won't be sneaking anywhere for example), and I'll come back to quirks.
I have admittedly been using a simplified format for attributes, proficiencies, and feats thus far, but I plan on fleshing that aspect out in the next session as we play. There will be plenty of opportunity, as I now have a much better understanding of each character's personality and predilections. As for quirks, that's largely player-initiated. Tracy is obviously batshit, as is Thez (different, but similar), Torcuil is dignified and squishy, Trump is (except with the Jews) upright and honorable, and Infernius is big, strong, and speaks not so good (not unintelligent though).

Moreover, this world does not know Football, so it would be odd for there to be an Elway Cathedral. You'll have the chance to build one though, don't doubt.

>>4923
Alright
*re-keens edges*

>>4925
Also, can I upgrade those saddle scaps I stole into permanent saddlebags?

>>4918
Sanctus Spirtis Fhurer, rockwellium ominus meme'em!
>inb4 the football hooligans take my church.

>>4927
>finally has place to hold shit other than knives
Great. Now I can actually make some use of the thief quirks.

*Leave pyramid and scout around the path between Port Barry and the Pryramid*

>>4928
>casts Hallow
Here's a perfect example. He didn't SAY 'cast hallow', but thats how I interpreted it.

>>4929
You're already headed off into left field? Bags take time to make you know, though the equipment is there.

[1d20 = 17]
>>4929
Can I get a clear image of the area surrounding the pyramid?
roll for increased detection

>>4923
>In the base
>Not in the town
>>4924
>This world does not know of Football
THIS. MUST. BE. RECTIFIED!!!!

>>4933
Aside from the anthill, there's nothing to say. The place had been sealed off and uninhabited (except by really old zombies) for lit centuries. Its overgrown to the point that anything that might have been there is buried. You know, like the building is.

Now technically, Holy Word and or the Word of Chaos are well beyond either Trump's or Infernius' ability, but I DGAF. Please note though, the strength of either spell is determined by your character's level, and you can only use it once.

>>4937
*per day

>>4937
Is holy word what is required for mass conversions?
\r

Now then, starting with Tracy.
You get 3 atks/round on a full attack, and you save at +4/+8/+4 (fortitude, reflex, and will). Your backstab does an additional 6d6 points of damage. You're also immune to flanking, have a hightened sense for traps, and I'm pretty much assuming you're 'really skilled' at stealth, intimidate, spot, survival, and open locks. You're also fairly skilled at crafting items, searching, and escape artist. Any objections?

>>4939
If by that you mean smiting enemies, then yes.

>>4932
I have no fucking clue what the Word of Chaos is BTW, so I leave that up to you (make it fitting though).

[1d20 = 13]
*continue down path towards Port Barry*
>>4940
Looks like the full package I wanted.
>>4942
Crikit

>>4942
Kek?

Next is Infernius, who probably knows what I'm about to post.
You get 2 atks/round on a full attack and save at +8/+4/+8. Also you can turn undead. You get bunches of spells, and you can be as descript or indescript as you like, but the book shows 6, 5, 5, 4, 4, 3 (spell level respective). I'm basing "Rockwell" off of Kord, if you're familiar. Also, I'm eliminating the "pray for spells" thing, cuz thats homo. Ur god likes you, and will grant u spells.

>>4944
Dubs confirm, how did I not see it?

>>4943
I'm smacking you with a hat repeatedly
WOULD YOU COOL YOUR JETS FOR ONE SECOND?

>>4947
*jets cool*

K, Trump then.
You get 3 atks/round, save at +8/+4/+4, can turn undead at -2 your level. In addition you radiate an aura of good, you can lay on hands (give footballs), are immune to fear/disease, and can cast 3 spells/day in addition to Football (such as defense, offense, etc.).

Lastly Torcuil. You specified your character as a Wizard, and not a Sorceror. While I agree your aesthetics are Wizard, you role-play like a sorceror. Wizards get more spells, sorcerors get more spells/day. I'm assuming you'd want the latter so unless you veto,....
You get 2 atks/round, save at +4/+4/+8, and get 6, 6, 6, 6, 6, 4 spells/day respective to spell level.

K. I did that as much for you as for me. Its a bitch having to re-reference shit on the fly.
Now then, Tracy you are welcome to explore. The area between the wall (perimeter around the pyramid) and Port Barry is mostly clear hills strewn with rocks and occasional shrubbery (ni) and by day you can see all manner of woodland creature (mostly small).

>>4951
Continue down path, this time going right (in stealth)
Is it still night time.

>>4952
No, dawn has broken, and it will take you some time to reach there by stealth (light and all). In the distance you can see another sort of civilization nestled between the forest leading to the grove and another smaller patch of forest.

Meanwhile, Thez awakes with a start shouting, "Chincillas!" before realizing her surroundings, and her pounding headache.

Another side note which I'd like players to consider is "RP items", which mean items which can/will never be used for combat purposes, but can/will be used for storyline or character development. An example would be "A simple trinket the character finds dear" or whatever; can be magic or non-magic. As long as is not used in combat, its probably okay.

>>4955
A more specific example being that Thez (who lacks the ability to scribe scrolls or do anything productive with) has a self-inking pen for doodling on ppls' faces.

>>4955
What's available in the crafting room?

>>4957
Anything except forging at this time (between the Library/Alchemy station and the Workshop).

>>4958
Even archanist materials?
*returns to pyramid*

>>4959
Can you be more specific (probably)?

>>4960
Can I make weapons on fire?

>>4962
Meaning, embue existing weapons with fire? Yes,... except you (as a rogue) lack the necessary skills to do so. There ARE characters in your purview who can though.

>>4961
Want me to change that?

>>4945
yea im familiar with him, i think it its well.

>>4964
>OOC/OOG/OOWE moment
TBH, yes. I have reached out on several occasions with my concern that when the game is 'on' that there is almost literally nothing more to see on the home than what is going on in this thread. I am both pleased and disconcerted, as I feel seeing a flood of game-stuff might detract from newer users and/or present an inaccurate depiction of what Mlpol "is" to new blood. Desu, I would prefer that it remain on the overboard, but not rape on the homepage. That's just my personal opinion, I really don't know what is 'best', but I wouldn't want increasingly new participants to get a false impression about what goes on on Mlpol colored by shenanigens and such in thread. I yield, but I also know I'm right. Xp

>>4967
this tbqh.

>>4969
You're welcome

Sorry for that, thanks to the glorious bastard(s), and last I left Tracy was inquiring about setting her weapons on fire. ^_^

*Craft whip*
*Upgrade stolen mask to have skull pattern on it and increase edge stat*

>>4972
Stolen mask; did I miss something? You have plenty of hide to craft, thats no issue, but I'm confused by the 'stolen' and the 'increase edge stat' (unless you mean "I cut myself on your edge" edge).

>>4973
Ponimaru's mask.
I looted his corpse to take his mask and kunai knives, remember?
"Edge stat" is just a joke.

>>4974
>mask
I may not have adequately depicted that, but it was basic tape/wrapping. Nothing fancy or particular. You can't make that into a skull mask, but you CAN make one out of the hide you have. (I'll just assume you did).

>>4975
I want to wear the wrapings as a hijab or some shit around my neck, to remind him that he's still my bitch.

>>4976
>hijab
How about a fore-arm wrap, with a blade sequestered?

>>4977
*hoof

>>4977
>for lack of a better term
I meant to have it dangle on my neck, but foreleg is just as good: it'll make a good cozy for MY kunai knives.

>>4979
U can do that too, I'm just offering suggestions. Still, forearm is more easily accessed than neck desu. Also, no hijabs.

>>4980
can infernuis have turban?

>>4981
Sure. All you have to do is explain how to wrap a turban around minotaur horns.

>>4982
nah fuck that gay shit.

>>4982
(or a swank die roll)

>>4984
how are the town folk reacting to the church?

>>4971
... So..?

>>4985
The reception is mixed, depending on impact. The farmers are not so impressed, as they were not terribly impacted by (((them))). The commercial interests however are most impressed, both by the REMoval, and by the result. To wit, a significant minority seems pleased/impressed and appreciative. Even if not denominationally consistent, there is a recognition that the presence of a shrine has overall benefitted the town's inhabitants.

>>4987
see
>>4986

I'm contemplating a "Default NPC screen" where player can immediately get NPC reception to ideas or innovations. Also:
>>4990
o_O I don't know how to respond in a non-adversarial manner. I was rdy to do the ants hours ago.

[1d20 = 6]
*goes into coridoor where rooms are, and inspects doorways *without passing through*
roll to detect traps on first doorway

>>4993
You explode. Apparently, the traps have been placed on the corridor as well. You detect traps on all the rooms.

>>4991
Do we need Tourcil?

[1d20 = 15]
>>4993
B-but I was just looking...
Ok... no grenades for me...

>>4996
Lenos is a bit of a shit. I'm playing him per request.

>>4995
infernuis run through traps?

[1d20 = 7]
Turn around and leave pyramid, go down the right path in stealth

>>5000
Was that a gets, or was that a deliberate intention?

>>5001
Idk... maybe..

>maybe rape
There is no 'maybe' rape.

>>5003
Offscreen, ambiguous >rape

>MFW approx 30 emergency vehicles are literally audible in the background.
Sorry fam, I gotta check on this. I wish I was exaggerating.

>>5005
Nice pali
Report back faggot, I didn't get on for nuthin

>>5005
you good famalam?

>>5005
Be safe, m8.
If you don't come back, I'll cut off Thez's feminine penis.

>Assuming GM isn't caught up in a happening
Trumpaladin returns from booking a flight, and is ready to enter the ant colony

>>5009
No denial, OP hinted at it in earlier threads though.
