Trump soldiers forth, casting OFFENSE upon the entire group

[1d20 = 4]
infernuis heal party when we get wounded. can i help thez with reform faster with healing?

[1d20 = 1]
push forward, blasting flames to stun ants before slashing

>>5494
FUCK!!!

[1d20 = 12]
Trumpaladin slashes!

Tracy lights her mane on fire

[1d20 = 13]
>>5497
I think that means another slash

[1d20 = 16]
>>5498
And another

[1d20 = 17]
>>5499
Another

[1d20 = 12]

infernuis jump and cut one in half.

>>5503
Stumped

Douse self with slime from severed head.
*push through the ants with pony-rogue maneuverability and see what's on the other side of the hallway*

[1d20 = 4]
roll

>>5492
>everyone goes (without the hair) super-saiyan
Before the party stands the Queen in an expansive chamber lined with,... the same crystalline structure as the pyramid. In fact, it almost looks like a lower section of the Pyramid (cuz it is).

[1d20 = 5]
>>5508
ANNND I can't do that..
*slash ant in front of me*

>>5509
queen their has been misunderstanding.

>>5509
How big is she?

>>5509
Trump levels Vanderium at the Queen
"Alright everyone, looks like we found ourselves the Queen. Tracy and inferius, hold off these drones, while I attack!"
>>5511
"Diplomacy has been attempted and failed. The only misunderstanding was the belief we could negotiate with these insects."

>>5511
"Impudent fool, what dare have you to even SPEAK to me!" She commands. And with it, a wave of weakness whooshes upon the party, negating the Offense.

[1d20 = 12]
>>5514
"DIE INFERNAL BEAST!"
Trump charges at her with Vanderiem to deliver a slashing blow

>>5512
About 18' tall, and about 30' long.
Also, she's squatted in the middle of a ridiculous pile of opulence. Piles of gold and gems litter the room, atop one pile of which is a very large and heavily bound book. Atop another pile is a glittering scroll, which Thez is immediately transfixed by.
"It... it is! I had... I thought,...." she begins to stammer.

[1d20 = 19]
>>5516
*offers soccer ball*

[1d20 = 9]
"TRACY, GET THE BOOK AND THE SCROLL, AND WE CAN RUN THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"
Slashes at the queen again

>>5515
Noted, but there's a distance you must close first unfortunately she casts a spell, and an almost impreceivable sphere appears around her.

>>5519
Trump ignores the queen then, and goes straight towards the book

[3d8 = 18]
>>5517
She fires a lightning bolt at you, just cuz why would she want a soccer ball?

>>5520
The book is well within her protective magic sphere

[1d20 = 16]
>>5521
>it has magic
*block shot with soccer ball, causing it to explode*
*dive for the scroll (do I have a maneuverability/theft boost for my class)*

Thez is now going apeshit. Not at the queen or any perceived threat, but at the sphere around the scroll. She clearly has little else on her mind.

[1d20 = 2]
>>5522
Beat the sphere then, with mighty Vanderiem!

[1d20 = 20]
>>5514
infernuis taze queen
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/Tazer_Beam_(3.5e_Spell)

>>5524
"Ping pong, even if you did land a good roll"
"Hahahaha! You fools, did you think you could upset the Law!?"
>>5527
Ooooh, that would've been an excellent move, except,...
"Enough! AS ABOVE SO BELOW!!" As she intones these words, several effects occur. All the party's hearing is nulled, replaced by a shrill ringing. Each member is now deafened. In addition, each member is having difficulty moving (slowed).
"Did you think you could venture into MY realm and have YOUR way with things? Repent!"
She says, preparing another spell.

>>5527
Taze, in spite of that magnificent die roll, is ineffective against a wall of force ~_~

[1d20 = 5]
>>5528
Trump pulls out his copy of Super Bowl XXXII, and casts FOOTBALL with it

>>5529
O-oh okay.

[1d20 = 11]
>>5528
Aren't paladins immune to such effects?

*retreat behind corner and enact stealth, to recover briefly*

Thez continues to rail against the wall, with increasing force (including a particular technique which beams a 4' diameter tube of blackened-purplesque hatred-murder) to no effect.

[4d8 = 16]
>>5530
"Ahhahahah! Impressive that you know the word of Football, but you are not strong enough to exert its force upon me! Despair that you have come here this night!
She unleashes a bolt of lighting that forks from player to player.
>>5532
No just diseases and poisons. Slow still works.

>>5534
Did that hit me? I thought I retreated and was in stealth.

>>5534
Trumpaladin signals to the other players "follow me" with a motion of his hands, and runs back towards the door from whence they came

>>5536
Already there

>>5537
Trump mouths out "fall back, fall back," and continues again towards the door

>>5536
charges towards the door

>>5535
Magic is irrespective of stealth, but duly noted.
"NO! I won't leave without my,... rahhhahhaahhahhhh!" Thez screams.
"Don't make me say it!"

[6d8 = 29]
The queen casts another bolt, this one striking Thez only.

>>5542
Trumpaladin signals over to Thez, "leave"

[1d20 = 1]
>>5544
oh shit i run over to thez, and grab her.

"Curse you all! I won't leave! No matter what it takes! That's MY property! Sod it all! Get out while you can! " she screams.

>>5540
>>5541
Trumpaladin runs out of the field of effect of the queen, and addresses the other party members
"Looks like we're not getting her shields down. Not at our current power levels, at least not with out Tourcil, though I'm not sure he could have made a difference. We need to set up shop in Port Barry before we return. But there may still be another way to reveal the secrets of the past. Not every link is in the form of an inanimate paper bundle. And I know how to make her talk"

>>5546
You trip in the process

>>5547
no infernuis not leave you behind!!

[1d20 = 1]
>>5547
Trumpaladin reenters to remove Thez

[1d20 = 11]
>this would be a great time for the building to come down
Roll for enhanced trap detection

>>5553
>Destroying our means to kill the Terraesque later
Hell no!

The queen laughs at your failures and fires off another lightning bolt.
"This is MY domain! Despair!" she cries triumphantly.

>>5555
STOP FUCKING AROUND AND HELP THE PARTY! Retrieve Thez!

gets up, continues over to thez

>>5553
What did I detect?!

>>5555
Nice gets, I was hoping to steal that myself, but oh well.
Thez, smouldering from several lightning bolts slumps in defeat. "Its come to this then has it? Very well. I'm not leaving without my contract."
She checks to see that the party is sufficiently out of range before addressing the queen.
"So you know the Dictum. Good for you, but there is something you DON'T know. Let me tell you!" She is veritably steaming energy and rage.
"Starlight Glimmer is best Pone!"
As Thez speaks these words, the party (just out of range, thankfully) is spared from the blackness that fills the room.
The blackness is a mix of undeath and perversion. It is a tangible madness mixed with suffering and rage. The whole gamut of negative and dissociative energies, the lot of which eliminates the Queen with a resounding <sphleugh>.

>>5562
THAT, was Blasphemy

>>5562
Oh God, I hope you didn't just summon greater evils!

>>5563
holy shit!! THEZ NO!!!!!!

>>5562
>was going to bait her into leaving with severed tail
Is she dead?

As glops of Queen slowly trickle down from the ceiling, Thez stands in the middle, completely exhausted. She slowly walks to the scroll and takes possession.
"At last," she says, taking possession of the scroll, before falling unconscious.

>>5567
*Steals scroll from unconscious Thez*

The scroll is after all, her erstwhile record-contract. She lies on the floor, completely wasted and immobile, though clutchting the scroll as though her life depended on it.
The room is clear, the Owner's Manual (not to mention the PILE of gold and jewels) lay about, ready to be claimed.

>>5567
*throws thez over shoulder*

>>5568
Oh no. Cut her hands off if you want to take THAT.

>>5563
"You fool! You did not merely utter blasphemy, nor did you simply speak evil. You uttered BAIT, evil not merely for what it is, but for what it brings"
Trumpaladin rushes forth to take the owners manual, and leaves in haste

>>5571
Should I?

>>5569
But not before grabbing some gold and jewels... Cathedral not going to pay for itself

>>5572
You have no idea, this sets in motion a series of events you'll have to wait to see.

[1d20 = 3]
perception for anything interesting.

*pockets as many shekels and special items as her saddlebags can carry*
"This'll make for a great wedding ceremony!"

WIth the Queen's death, her lock on teleportation ceases, and Lenos pops in unceremoniously. "Good, now we can get this bitch off the ground (talking about the building).
Hold onto your hats"

>>5573
This was an unironic question

Tweaking some present circuitry, the whole place begins to shudder.
>>5579
I won't say no, but its REAAAAAAALLLLLY not a good idea.
The building continues to quake, slowly lifting its self out of the ground.

>>5580
im protecting thez currently

>>5579
If this utterance is anything at all like the last time I heard those words spoken - from a distance - an entire pantheon of good and evil is about to converge on this location to do battle. GET OUT WHILE YOU CAN"

Trump runs like hell out of the area

>>5580
>I won't say no, but its REAAAAAAALLLLLY not a good idea.
I what way?
*pocketing of shekels ceases*

After several minutes of quaking and shaking, with dirt and debris filtering out of the building, the entirety of the pyramid - its self but the pinnacle of a larger crystalline structure - slowly rises out of the ground, coming to rest hovering over the ground at about 100'.

>>5581
"GET OUT!"
>>5583
"TRACY, YOU FOOL! IF YOU VALUE YOUR LIFE, LEAVE!"

>>5585
no.

>>5582
It's a good thing Nigel didn't play tonight.
>>5585
*runs like heck, deciding no to bother taking Thez's scroll*

>>5586
*pockets shekels, as she waits for GM to respond*

>>5586
I guess it's too late for you to escape then? It's been an honor playing with you
>>5587
The fact that he chose words that unironically and literally have the value to do serious harm makes this so much better

Trumpaladin gathers items of value and places them in a wagon lead by an ox, and heads for Port Barry, snatching up Tracy if she came within arms reach in that time

>>5590
escape from what the building is rising out the ground.

>>5590
"Unf!"

"You needn't hurry. The building is now ours again, including the spoils (which were ours to begin with, but game resets and all). From here, we can go wherever we need/want. And I, I can fire up the forge!" Lenos says with a wink.
And THAT concludes the session.
The party now has access to literal piles of gold and gems, a variety of strewn about items, not to mention an entire facility (you thought the pyramid was big!) with elements that were not include-able in the upper section.
Yeah, I'll tell you all about it, but Tracy needs to sleep (and so do I). Besides, this thread is well past bump-limit.

>>5593
good game anon.

>>5590
Oh no you don't, you're still in the building! Also, you haven't explored the lower reaches, you'll like what you find there.

>>5595
Nope! Trump got the hell out. He legit thinks those words can trigger Armageddon
>>5596
I had no idea it was that bad

K, I'm out for the night, thanks for everything, its been a blast!

>>5600
Best filly

goodnight everypony

[1d20 = 7]
>Not using borax based attacks on the queen
Do you even exterminate.
Sorry passed out last night, but I should be good for tonight
Roll to detect any type of magical items in the cave

>>5603
Oh there's LOTS. Don't feel bad about not being able to play, though technically it is your fault Thez had to speak Blasphemy, as a well placed "Dispel Magic" would have removed the Queen's shield and allowed the party to gang-rape-kill her. No worries though, a wall of force does not block sonic attacks, and like I indicated, Thez wasn't going to leave without her record contract.
The contract doesn't do anything mind you, but it represents her most glowing achievement in the last reset, where she rolled a 20 on her performance check (which, when added to her perform ability, acrobatics, magical embellishments, and such came out to like a 48). It is because of that contract and performance that a good 1/3 of the piles of riches are even there.
Now for some clarification and explanation.
Thez does not think Starlight Glimmer is best pone, but in the infernal realms (where Blasphemy was first molded and crafted), the general perception is that she is. There are entire levels in the Abyss dedicated to Starlight Glimmer, so while Thez doesn't care either way, she does know Blasphemy (and has the infernal nature to make it work).
The teleport lock on the treasury didn't actually belong to the Queen, it is more of a security measure to make sure that no one poofs in and starts jacking shit. Now that the treasury is reclaimed, one can readily go to and from with ease. Atop the treasury up a winding staircase is an expansive fighting ring, designed to train, practice, spar, and whatever. There are holodeck proportions to it so players can practices spells, techniques, strategy, etc. on pseudo-enemies, but usually players use this area to beat eachother about the face and torso.
Down a similar set of stairs from the Treasury, the ordinarily somewhat translucent glass of the tower blackens and takes on a matte-texture. This leads to the Forge (which, btw, is where Lenos is). FOr the record, forging shit is Lenos' favorite thing, and the one thing that he (with exception) will do essentially for free just cuz.
The outside of the building is enspelled to allow one to walk across its surface as though wearing gravity boots or some shit,... just don't jump.
And, because the guy who designed the building - brilliant though he was - was a little off in the head, there is no actual door connecting the upper level and the lower level, one instead has to walk outside the door in the middle (formerly the section of tunnel that connected to the ant hive) and up to the pinnacle where the dais is. The dais was originally the magic user section of the building.
Don't worry, I'm gonna do up the associated maps.
And SPEAKING of maps, since the building is flying now, I'm also going to finish the world map. The building isn't THAT fast, but it allows you to be at Port Barry, or that place to the south, or any adjacent area in a matter of minutes (as opposed to hours by foot, or a half hour by mount).

The treasury consists of about 30,000 ounces of gold and assorted other precious metals (platinum, silver, copper, bronze, brass, titanium, adamantite, cold iron, etc. etc.), including some golden-steel (sourced from a particular type of enemy that I can personally guarantee will show up at some point) that appears to be giant armor (not of a giant mind you). There's also an assortment of gems very much like that Rarity gem-finding episode. Incidentally, the next time the party sees Thez, her 'outfit' will be much more over-the-top opulent, fashioned to almost look like a pair of jester's tights. with shiny mirrored plates accenting various spots, which themselves look like windows through which you can see cherry-blossoms shifting lazily in the wind, but for now she's still curled up around her contract sleeping most soundly.
As for magic items there are:
A Rod of Cancellation
A Rod of Metamagic - Silent Spell
A Scroll of Water Breathing
A Ring of Improved Jumping
A 30' length of Rope of Entaglement (Hang Yourself!)
2 Golden-Steel Masterwork Bastard swords
1 Golden-Steel Rapier
1 Golden-Steel Orcish Double-Axe
and 1 Golden-Steel Greatsword that's way too big for anyone to use, but also looks like its missing something (technically finished, but technically not).

The Golden-steel weapons are all masterwork, but currently non-magical (they'd been crafted but not enchanted at the time of the reset).

>>5606
What is a rod of cancellation?
I will take that Rapier and ring of jumping too

>>5608
Its a 14" rod of graphite appearance that when used (deliberately) will cancel out any magical item of non-artifact status (so it won't work on Vandereim for example).
The ring grants +10 to jump checks.
You're not proficient with rapiers (so -2 to attacks, but with the +1 its only a -1, and it can easily be further augmented).

>>5609
Only 1x use on the rod tho, it breaks when the magic is expended.

>>5606
>Thez wants to take a significant number of gems so she can look even more like a ghetto queen
Ah hell no! Every Gem and bar of metal with high exchange value goes towards the missionary effort

Trump proceeds to gather items of value

>>5611
Lets assume you can stop her for a moment, or that much of it wasn't hers to begin with. Hypothetically speaking.
Where do you plan to store it? We're talking piles here, and an ounce of metal = 4 bits. Meaning, there's about 120000 shekels present.

Furthermore, she doesn't need large gems, she prefers the tiny ones (it gives that sequin-look). Larger gems poke and chafe anyway.

>>5612
Why the treasury in Port Barry (now the property of the Universal Church of Football), of course!
>>5613
I don't think you understand just how insanely ambitious Trump's plan is

>>5614
Thats fine,... I still think you're gonna fail though, especially considering that when you guys finally end up at the city where the record contract was signed she can rake in 1k a show without rolling a skill check (and increasingly more if she does) as long as she can change her costume,... but sure knock yourself out. ^_^

>>5615
Do not mention the Shrek style references again

>>5616
Shrek? I don't follow.

>>5609
I'm assuming by META-magic you mean summoning 20 sided die to kill enemys, correct me if wrong
I'll take the Meta magic (3 staff limit)
Do any metals or gems have magical properties in D&D? Cause I have no idea

>>5618
They can, but no one has ever bothered to try yet and I haven't been want to give away juicy bits like that. None of the gems are magical at the moment.
The meta-magic ROD allows the user to cast 3 spells per day silently (either if silenced or if wanting to be sneaky).

>>5618
Actually, I should clarify. Titanium (Mythril, sorry I said it wrong, but titanium is mythril in D&D) and Adamantite have particular properties. Adamantite is heavier than steel, but twice as hard (which means damage reduction for armor, or negating damage reduction for weapons). Mythril is lighter than steel, and slightly harder (minimal damage reduction, or minimal reduction negation, but vastly less cumbersome. Think frodo's shirt in LOTR).

Well since I think time is still playing in-universe, Trump has instructed Lenos to take the pyramid to Port Barry, as well as to look out for any Eldridge Abominations summoned by the bait earlier, where he has begun the process of turning Port Barry into the source of man power for later operations. His first act is to contract a stadium-cathedral, besides recruit townsfolk to transfer wealth from the pyramid to the vault of Port Barry

>>5619
Oh shit, I'm taking the staff.
I'll take some adamantite and cold iron bars.
Okay sorry,
ROD

BTW, Adamantite is depleted uranium (no, you don't get radded by using it)

>>5622
You do realize that you don't have to take it, its called a Treasury cuz thats where you keep resources so they don't wander off until the next time you need them,....

I mean, you're welcome to do so,... but bars of metal aren't light, and don't carry well. I'm saying you could be in the Mages area and be like "I wanna make a bla-blah" and I'll be like "Sure, you grab it from the treasury and get to crafting"

>>5622
We're doing so much more with all of this than just a few staffs. We're creating an entire military-industrial-complex

>>5625
I'm
a
fucking
idiot

>>5626
Okay, that's an idea Thez would actually be down for, and upon hearing that she'll be okay with not having a new wardrobe (she will borrow stuff for concerts tho).

>>5627
No worries, this isn't the first time I've had this discussion. ^_~

>>5629
Glad to hear
>>5626
I like this Idea

>>5628
>>5630
There are two goals that guide our actions - to kill the Terrasque, and to convert this planet's inhabitants to the one true Football. Though at first these may seem to be disparate and separate goals, the latter actually feeds into the former, as clerical knowledge gained, and the power of devoted followers, can be weaponized for use against the Terrasqu, and Elway is more likely to let us prevail if we first spread His word. But besides the religious aspect, we also need to create seige weapons, or draft an army, for use against our many opponents. To these seperate ends, we must build a stadium - to worship and train the common folk in Football; establish a monastic order - to be missionaries travelling the planet, to teach peasants in the arts (including the art of turning adamantium into ammunition), and perhaps even to fight in our battles; improve the resources of the current forge - so that it may be able to create the Trebuchets (can we make cannons?) that can slay larger foes; and create a headquarters for the peasantry to organize much of this on their own. Remember that Port Barry is, above all, a port. It can import laborers, skilled and unskilled, any materials necessary, and export missionaries

>>5631
I'm totally digging where your head is at right now. ^_^

Oh and yes, the forge is sufficient to develop seige engines, trebuchets, ballistae, etc.

>>5633
>trebuchet
Why make anything else

>>5634
Ballistae do WAY more damage, but with less range.

>>5633
>>5634
>>5632
Trumpaladin's first stage is to use his perception to judge the most pure and worthy of the unconverted peasants. These, he converts with his showing of Superbowl XXXII and Elway's Helicopter tackle. these shall become his first monks and establish the monastic order of Mile High. This monstatic order will have several functions. Most will begin the missionary process of converting the entire population of Port Barry to Football. Some will assume the role of educators at the Port Barry Parochial School, which may need to be constructed. They shall train the citizenry in every essential art. And some will board the next ship out to far off lands to spread the word of Football
>>5635
>>5634
>>5633
>Ballistae
This would be an insanely useful tool. Essentially a giant crossbow, having three or so of these with teams, and with Adamantium tipped bolts, would be able to fell - or at least damage - larger and stronger opponents

Also, cannons have better range than ballistae tho less then trebuchet, do comparable damage to a trebuchet, but also have significant damage reduction-negation (with the potential of using explosive rounds ^_~)

>>5636
Okay, what you're describing, I have only 2 comments.
1st, it will take time, I mean you're not going to immediately convert a bunch of people in a few minutes, it might take a day or so, then time to train, etc. As for the feasibility and quality of the idea, i have only one thing to say, which is my second point:
Football.

>>5638
No matter, he has time. Assuming the treasury is secured - and that is the most important step, because he really will need that 120,000 shekels as the down payment for this program - Trump starts a public function - a rally, if you will - where he gives a speech about everything his group has accomplished thus far, and how they will bring jobs, jobs, jobs to the lower class citizens of Port Barry when the manufacturing of weapons begins. But while speaking about how he will make Port Barry Safe gain, Work Again, and Great Again, he mentions Football.

The purpose of this rally is two fold - to instill trust for the group in the citizens of Port Barry, but more importantly, to look for those six or so people who will approach him to talk about football. They, he will convert. And they in turn shall become monks, who will hep find other monks

>>5636
>>5635
BUT
Can a ballistae launch a 90kg projectile 300m with a counterweight?

>>5641
Have no fear. Once we begin tithing - admittedly a little ways down the road - we'll have the funds to create all of the siege weapons

>>5642
Is a panzerkampfwagen a seige engine?
Also question for the GM, can my staff of trans-mutilation revert thing to a past point
like cooked meat to raw meat, rust into iron, or unbake a cake?

>>5643
I'll be back tonight, about 5pm est
And I wont forget music

>>5639
Dude, with that idea you're going to get more than six people. I'm just sayin'.
>>5641
No, a trebuchet is clearly the staple option for war machines. Having said, a well-rounded operation would include all 3 mentioned as well as others.
>>5643
Yes, but no. The thing is, 'transmutation' is just a name. Its ability to transmute outside objects (polymorph) has been expended. I should/will call it something less grandiose in the future, as the name is a little misleading.

>>5644
Copy that, I'll have some new bread by then. Take it easy.

Also a note about panzerkampfwagen;
Given the technological sophistication of the time, the best you're going to be able to craft for now is a Da Vinci-style tank, though further development is limited only by ingenuity, crafting skill (Thez knows a guy) and the subsequent die rolls.

>>5645
Those six are just to help start the process of finding the rest.
>>5643
It may be wise to begin the construction of a library in Port Barry to contain magical knowledge

>>5648
>1 post by this ID
Who is this newcomer?
just kidding
Okay, so of those who are receptive, you're looking to form an ace-team. Very Trump of you, I get it. Also the library isn't a bad idea. While that is the purpose of the library in the tower, there is no harm in having more resources.
Incidentally, at this point only Lenos has actually read the manual, so the party is still kinda at his 'mercy'.

Also, I rate the stadium as only costing about 50,000 bits (equal to a standard castle), so you have more resources than you might expect, and that's without converting the gems into coin.

>>5651
Don't worry, its all been clarification, illustration, and discussion. I'll bake nu in a few hours

This is what I get for trying to have a shred of originality...
>>5642
>*humps leg*

>>5653
It's okay, I tried to negotiate with them, then go around then, and then kill them with Football - none of which worked

>>5653
Don't feel bad, you were trying to reason with an elitist insect who's entire position was based on inheritance and groundless authoritarianism. You'll have much better success with other factions, I assure you.
And actually, you may find that the remaining ants didn't care much for her either and are glad she's a smudge

>>5654
Oh, you could have easily killed the others with Football, but note that aside from trying to prevent you from entering the Queen's chamber, none of them rushed in to assist.

>>5655
Are there remaining ants? Do they still appreciate non-deadly foosball?

>>5652
Please also put the quick rundown of recent developments in the next thread.

>>5657
Of course, who would want to lose their head cuz they lost at foosball??
>>5658
Gladly

>>5660
Can I befriend these ants through common interest? With the Queen gone, they're under threat of losing all of their edge and developing thorax vaginas: I will teach them sustainable ways to substitute their lost edge.
Also, can I increase stats or develop new feats in the traning room? I want to practice throwing MY new kunai knives.

>>5661
Yes and yes. You haven't met him yet, but you will find the newly presiding Myrmarch to be far more reasonable and diplomatic (not in a pussy sense, but in a 'interested in the hive developing beyond a queen (though there's that nasty issue of breeding) sense') and interested in cultivating relations with the surrounding cultures and factions.
Also, that's precisely what the training area is for.

>>5662
*stealths off to go have a diplomatic chat with the new Myrmarch about virtual divegrass and whatnot, bringing hide for crafting*

Also, do I have access to crafting arcane weapons yet?

>>5663
There are a number of books on the subject, and you can certainly research to increase your skill. Plz note though, you're starting from scratch (skill level 1, developing upward). You have the option of developing your own skill or appealing to more skilled crafts-ponies.

>>5663
Do I get feedback from the Myrmarch?

Does crafting masks and soccer balls count as experience?

>>5665
As basic crafts, yes. Crafting magic items is more intensive, requiring not least a proficiency with magic. ^_~

>>5665
Also
>response
You can and will, but in the paraphrased words:
"For now, I think its best that we leave the Ant Hive to the Ants."

>>5666
idk if an Earth pony suddenly showing interest in crafting magic items is in character atm... Maybe I'll find a way to get Lenos to make me one later.

What does the Myrmarch think of my Truncated icosahedrons?

>>5668
"Hey, nice balls"
no homo

>>5668
As for crafting, it certainly won't be as easy as it would be for a unicorn, but that doesn't mean it can't be done. Still, if you're looking for immediate results, Lenos is a good option.
"Also I know a guy!" Thez is up BTW.

Music dude here for a quick check in,
Do we want music music, or ambient noise?

*stealths off to training room, to grind kunai throwing*
>won't be as easy as it would be for a unicorn
D-do Earth ponies have any unique quirks? Can I perform wildform feats, or something of the like?

>>5671
I'm not picky. My mix is more adventure-themed, but whatever works.
>>5672
Earth ponies would naturally have a greater capacity for Strength and Constitution, but there is no prohibition on development (that I can think of).
Likewise Unicorns would be Intelligence and Wisdom, while Pegusai would be Dexterity and Charisma.

>is grinding with kunai
So.. how do I acquire new skills and martial disciplines?

>>5674
Well here's the thing. Aside from my earlier indication of "largely/moderately skilled", your skills are as yet undefined. As a 12th (maybe 13th, I haven't crunched the numbers yet from last night) level rogue, you have LOTS (rogues get the most skill points FYI). Additionally, there is the topic of feats which amount to 'special moves/techniques', which you also have several of. Depending on your (and not just your) preference I can summarize/detail the specifics, or if you have the time and are bored I can direct you to my personal favorite resource on the matter:
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Skills_by_Type
https://dnd-wiki.org/wiki/SRD:Feats

>>5606
I pick up the greatsword. And ask thez about it.

>>5675
Alright... (I've never RP before, and can't really make heads or tails of this). I prefer to keep things mostly ambiguous at this point though, because I'm really learning as I go...
As for racial abilities and limitations, I'm not sure about Tracy... There is no real established "pony" race, among role-playing games; and a lot of w00t's Tracy pics on DB are labelled "semi-anthro" because of her flexibility of movement.. Overall, she's a meme-OC with an inconsistent design. I welcomed the chance to turn into a mount, partly because I could just play as the 'Awakened Horse' species, which was why I didn't triple-wield at any time during that play. The problems also come up with character evolution. Horse aren't exactly given very much specificity, when it comes to getting stronger over time, although but beyond level 6 they're geared to evolve into unicorns or pegasi, BUT I DON'T WANT THAT because it's horseshit. Long term, I was hoping to write-up a unique class for character development based on ghost rider and the book of revelations, having her being corrupted through wicked feats, insanity, and demonic possession (like she does in the books) for the sake of unlocking monstrous evolution pathlines, but I'm still totally new to this stuff....

Also, you said that ponimaru's body would be reconstructed, but his mental state wouldn't automatically recover: any chance I could take advantage of his PTSD and threaten him into making me a ninja scroll

>>5606
*Inspects rapier*

*continues kunai throwing practice*

>>5678
If you inspect the thread,
You will notice the rapier is mine thot.
also here's some ambience cause I wasn't able to make a playlist today:

Probably best for inside the pyramid,
I'll find some shit for any bosses tonight

You awake GM?
Is the building still levitating?

Had stepped out for a bit, getting up to speed

>>5676
"Uhhh, that's Lenos',..." she says, in spite of the fact that its many times larger than he is.
>>5677
I'm basically viewing Tracy as a standard player with slight modifications. For attributes I'm leaning toward either dwarf or half-orc. Unique/custom race/class is exactly where I was going. As for ponimaru,... well that's complicated. He's got some shit to say the next time the opportunity presents its self.
>>5682
Yes. Until it is deliberately 'grounded', the building will maintain an elevation of about 60-70' off the ground (variable as desired by the 'driver').

>>5684
Greatsword is lennos's how he even use?

>>5685
"Uhhhh,... with magic."

For persective, the sword is about 11' tall.

>>5686
infernuis go to the forge(thats where lennos is right?)

>>5688
Yep. He's there, a bit dingy with a pair of ruby goggles on, a pair of clamps in one hand, a hammer in the other, and a piece of metal sticking out of one of the smaller forges (there's actually several, we just call it 'the forge').

*sharpens knives*
