>Feels fine, having already made a peace-offering to the ants.
>>5014*brushes across leg, like a cat
>>5016*trump shakes his head*
"damn 'sovereign citizens'"
>>5017>>5015It would please me to bring more peace offerings\r
>>5018*gives up*
So, where is our merry crew of 3 going
also gm, when you get back can I please have that list of staff powers?Gm, you okay?
>>5019The long term goal, besides converting all of the inhabitants of this world to the one true football, is to kill the Terrasque. But before that, we need to uncover all of the powers of the Pyramid, and all of the secrets of the past party. To do that, we need the manual contained in the boiler room (or whatever) near the treasury at the bottom of the pyramid. For some reason the entrance is blocked off through the pyramid itself, and the only way to it is through the ant colony, hence why we are there. As for how we get through the ant colony, I think we just pay them off and see if they let us pass
>>5020So, when ya gonna put me down?
>>5021I don't know, when are you going to commit to going inside the ant colony?
>>5022>dubs*sigh*
I am at the will of the meme magic
I'll go
>>5020>[cuddling intensifies]"Well, those bugs *huff* did invite us to come visit them. It could be a trick though.."
>>5020they arent all gonna worship football. not while infenuis here.
>>5024*Trump takes notice of the Blue One*
"You find those horses already?"
Be prepared to purge heretics if necessary >>5028>*snuggles*"~Nnnh.. Yeah, that shoundn't be a problem anymore."
>>5029"Well it's a problem for me if I don't have either a quick means of transportation or the money I spent on the horses"
>>5030>relaxed"Don't worry, Flashy. All the mount positions are filled."
>>5033*looks at the blue one puzzled*
"What?"
>>5035What ever happened to the unicorn?
>>5034>pic>>5035"I found new horses. There shouldn't be any problems now."
>snuggle>>5036Still in the stables (but you don't know that). GM said she was there to keep me from murdering the hoers again.......
>>5036So apparently your horse was never a unicorn. As for the ghost/god/demon thing, I am not sure. It probably disappeared>>5037"what? New horses? Where?"
>>5037>>5038No no no, I know my horse wasnt one, I mean the one tracy fought
>>5040>foughtUnicorn was too OP to call that a fight. She teleported into the stables, and is still there.
>>5039"what?"
Trump heads on to the stables
>>5045How about we let the unicorn decide?
>>5047>Giving women the right to chooseYou know, I'm automatically attracted to beautiful mares - I just start riding them them. It's like a magnet. Just ride. Don't even wait. And when you're a Paladin, they let you do it. You can do anything.
>>5049I tried: it doesn't work.
>>5026half worship football, half worship hitler(through many denominations, sound good?
>>5050Try taking her out furniture shopping
>>5053If that'll let me stab that cunt, I'll give it a shot.
>>5052All worship Football, All worship Hitler
>>5056I'm going to hit the hay too.....
>>5059>still not sure what habbened, cuz no news reports or w/eSorry if it turns out to be a nothing-burger. Friggin' exhausted though. Off next three days so I'll be all up innit. Sorry, but 'night.
>>5060Apparently a fire broke out in the hills (dense forest) and the parade of emergency vehicles was rapid response to see that it didn't turn into something serious.
>>5011No, Thez is entirely female and lacking anything resembling a benis. She does get kinky w/ her tail tho.
Okay, there is now 2 hoers in the stable, one a majestic and regal unicorn that could theoretically be grabbed by the horn, though Tracy tried to cut it OFF, which it would have none of. The other is the previously murdered yet somehow present and very disposed against Tracy ninja-hoers. I'm sure that will be explained in time.
>>5063Oh? I don't recommend attempting to cut it off if that's what you're thinking.
If you like, I can go into exquisite detail about Thez and her accoutrements (many of which are magical and relate to her evolution as a player/villain, yes she has performed as a villain on several occasions) but suffice to say that if successful, cutting her tail off would result in a specific turn of events that would be adverse in the least.
>>5066Nah... And it wasn't her tail.
>>5062>She does get kinky w/ her tail tho.Infernuis get tail pegged?
Ouch.
>>5061im glad you're alright gm anon
>>5071I'm surrounded by a town, I'm the last to be in danger. I appreciate your concern though, the sudden cacophony of sirens was a little alarming.
>peggedI never described what happened.
>>5072You said my asshole hurt, i can only ASSume.
>>5073I'm sure it was the tacos.
>>5072It was pretty heavily implied.
Also, stop fapping to >no hooves futa porn.
>>5075Great advice, but thanks to horsepussy I've been nofap for months now.
Can I be a Wizard with a level 1 Cloistered Cleric dip?
>>5078I won't say no, but I would like to know how you might explain that working? I mean, clerical magic is submissive, while wizardry (do you mean wizard or sorcerer, cuz they're different; sorcerer is inherent magic, wizard is songs, dances, diagrams, components) is dominant.
>>5080I hope not, that wasn't my intention. I don't know if he intended to, but he touched on a philosophical point that is often overlooked, gaming or otherwise. Again, I haven't said no, but its not a "Sure go ahead" type of scenario.
Do minotaurs come in different bovine breeds?
>>5082Probably is the best answer. I mean, are we talking MLP canon, mythological, etc? There's only been 1 minotaur in MLP so there's nothing to derive from there, and mythologically speaking there's only one particular example I can think of. This begs the question of whether minotaurs are a chimera of sorts, or whether they are an evolutionary species. I'm inclined to say "Yes", but they're so few and far between that I would instead table the question with a "I'll answer that when the next minotaur shows up.
You asked >>5078Come back. Its not that scary i promise.
>>5083Infernius should be a Nazi cow, in respect to all of the ones who got shoahed into sausages a couple years back.

Stop being racist!>You have to shoah almost every one of these Nazi cows, because they're irrationally violent and one of them killed a Jew! >>5085Scary no, disturbing,...? ^_~
Seriously though, the cleric/wizard question is one I often get when I am inviting new players so I'll expound a bit. Wizardry is its own field of specialty that requires rigorous hours and intensity to be able to effectively work/master. It involves countless hours of study, experimentation, and ingenuity. Conversely, Sorcery involves reaching within one's self to determine one's full capacity, in spite of differing potential (and prescription) from the society the character inhabits. Simply, wiz/soc's are entirely sovereign in their practices and disposition. Clerics on the other hand spend the majority of their time and effort seeking to be closer to a God/ideal, which is largely prescribed. Many examples exist of clerics and priests who slough off the established doctrines, but all in favor of determining the mindset/desires of the chosen/sponsoring deity. Again, this is submissive (not being derisive with that) and runs contrary to the alternative.
In my experience, peeps who want to play both are often trying to have the best of both worlds without really getting into what makes a cleric, wizard, or sorcerer so the standard answer is no (excepting a damn good reason).
K, so since everyone is somewhere in the vicinity I'm going to state at the outset that I'm NOT going to exhaustively map the anthill, pic related (inverted for proper perspective). The amount of area the players will actually venture vs. the whole of the anthill is minute. There will be basic "You're here, there's these exits", and depending on choices you may find yourself winding back and forth (not excessively, that's just boring). Having said, I am going to attempt to authentically portray the environment while making it enjoyable for the players.
>>5087>tfw my paint program sucks and i cant recolor a cow.I like the breed.
>>5084Do you care if im a heck gm?
>>5089Am i at the dais yet or no?
>>5058 >>5092Yep. AFAIK everyone (except maybe Tracy) has made their way to the pyramid. Players are welcome to decline,... but that's the best place to be unless I'm gonna have to do more frantic mapping and deciding that will probably be inconsistent or non-compelling.
>>5090They really are beautiful, even if they have genocidal tendencies:
>Some of Derek Gow's cows terrified him. "If I was standing here and some of the more aggressive ones were in this field, and they could see me, then they would come right across now and try and kill you," he told the BBC. Those cows would charge "with every intention of wiping you off the face of this Earth," he said from his farm.Coming from the guy who owned them.
It's actually quite the interesting article. They were wild cows with ancient roots, coming from a project to breed-back the extinct Auroach cows.
>>5094It makes perfect sense too, given that Minotaurs are predisposed to chaos (usually evil, but exceptions) and are particularly large and often brutal.
>>5095Yeah. A minotaur, just by default, is already imbued with quirks from the "beast" archetype; having massive, non-human bodies and charging into their enemies.
I never imagined a Minotaur cleric before, but Nazi cleric really does work in this case.
>>5096It goes great with Kord, a chaos god of war and battle, not dissimilar to Thor (or Odin for that matter).
>>5099Technically, I mean every archetypal icon which represents the same thing, but yes Rockwell.
Is there any other way I can enhance my equipment or whatnot to increase my stats or range of abilities?
>>5101Of course, but I only know for certain of one person in the mix who can craft objects like you describe, and you'll have to make it worth his while.
>>5103I'll try that later then.
>>5104Don't worry, I've already worked out a more 'reasonable' alternative. He'll be along shortly.
>>5103Ifernuis want magic cock ring.
>>5106Funny enough, its not the first time. Can do, but you don't get any more rings just 'cuz (only 2 magic rings can be active at any time).
>>5108Beware of overly friendly whores, that's all I'm gonna say.
>>5081He was an orphan raised in a monastery, but he sucked at the combat stuff and only really wanted greater knowledge and greater power. Sure, he'd be Good, but he didn't see the point in being super religious about it. He ended up becoming a Cloistered Cleric. But it still wasn't for him, and he made the leader of a monastery he used to study at hate him with all the questions and logical thought and stuff, so he spent years studying in secret, pretending to be focused on holy studied. He eventually dropped out and became a Wizard as soon as he was old enough.
Now, if anyone asks, he tells people he's a wizard, and makes up some bullshit about studying alone in some farm's attic in return for aiding with the crops if anyone presses him on a backstory. If anyone questions his occasional Cleric spell or how he can do things normally only possible for Cloistered Clerics of Time and Animals, he says, in his own words, "I'm a very good Wizard".
>>5110Sounds good. Got a name? ^_^
