Classic Tabletop D&D (3.5e mostly)
New players welcome, most especially our recent pony addition
Its always some level of nuts in this thread, and this moment does not disappoint.
All kinds of things have happened, the result of which is that with over a week passing in meat-space the party is still right where they left off at.
Tracy is venturing to the mountains with her floofy-faced, hutungous birbs in an oversided wagon, hoping to give them a chance to have a moment with their biological father.
Trump, for some reason, is quite butt-hurt by this. What? Its true,....
Thez is enjoying the first decent night's sleep in over a week, Infernius contemplates (((genocide))) (does it work in that context? I mean he's contemplating their genocide of course), and Torcuil learns that Death is a pretty cool chick with a morbid sense of humor in an absurd job that you wouldn't think is a job, but its literally a job. So yeah, next time he wants to hit her up, just blow ur brains out or something.
Last thread got to over 1800 posts <trumpet fanfare> but that shit is impossible on mobile and cumbersome at best otherwise so,....
>>53728*goes to suit merchant*
>>53731>suit merchant"B'yessssssssssssssss?"
>>53732What race is he?
"Me want uniforms for my men and me. And me need wedding suit."
>>53733A fellow with a long curled moustach eyeballs Infernius."
He sets his piece on a waiting table before scootling on his rolling chair into a back area.
>>53728Well, I feel kind of dumb. I fell asleep before you got back. Sorry about that.
>>53737*dabs on tracy*
Also hes asleep.
>>53738What happened to the ID system? Should we name ourselves to keep track now, or stay anon?
>>53739I too would prefer a thread with IDs.
I love every version of this painting.
>>53741It is very nice.
When does the game resume today? Wondering if I can get my work done in time to join.
>>53742Idk, we'll have to wait for GM. There's no set time, and you can join whenever really. Most of the characters are already in separate locations anyway.
>>53728>So yeah, next time he wants to hit her up, just blow ur brains out or something.>tries to think of a 'le petit mort' joke
>fails
>>53728*pulls giant ass wagon up the mountain*
*grunts* "We'll be there any minute now, Angels." *huff*
>>53744I have to admit the image of Torc just blowing his brains out every time he's ready to go on a "date" with his GF is absolutely hilarious.
Also, this thread needs IDs, unless we're should all start namefagging (except for the tripflagfags).
>>53746>"Hey Torc, wanna play the sportsball?""Nah sorry, got a date tonight"
*eats lead*
>>53748Kek
I imagine it'd be sort-of like Astral Projection: Torc bites a bullet, and then his "ghost" flies out to meet Death wherever their spooky extraplanar rendezvous point was, with an identical copy of whatever items he was wearing/carrying (weapons, chocolates, flowers, a suit, ect.); and then they go for a cruise on the Red River Styx and watch the stars fall into the Blood Rift, or something cool like that. His actual body is still totally and completely dead though, although he could easily be revived later
(and finds that the bull shit in his pockets again).
>>53730I wonder if there are any werebats around here...
>>53742We won't get into combat right sway, but I'll be around shortly
>>53747Yeah, Idk what that's about
>>53745Tracy didn't
have to drag a huge wagon into a mountain range, she could have taken the airship,....
>>53748>Snek is asking Torcuil to play Football"I am so proud of her"
>>53751>she could have taken the airshipLast time she tried that, she got grappled without question.
I figured I could have her do that while the other party members when to the gnome city or Sparta or wherever.
I still want her to investigate the rumor of those persons disappearing around the lumber mill too.
*kills 88 happy merchants*
>>53751Can she get to Daddybird now?
>>53754Torc Trumpaladin are ion their way to the gnome city, right?
>>53755While Tracy makes progress toward the location of daddy-bird, it takes longer than she anticipated, since last time she was flying around and such, rather than carrying a heavily laden wagon into a mountain range (its not like there's roads or sidewalks n shit). As she arrives within visual range of the spot, she is fatigued.
[1d20+18 = 32]>>53757*gasp* *Wheeze*
"You girls sure have been growing up well..."
Tracy looks up at the spire
Spot check to look for daddybird.
>>53749Torc handing love letter's to Tracy's victims for delivery to Death before they die.
>>53756I have no idea anymore, but Torc would like to go to the Gnome City.
And the dice did favour my idea
>>53759Better he go there. Trumpaladin did want to make a business deal last time he was there, if iirc, but it looks like his faggot is taking a break for a while.
*channels divegrass energy*
>>53758The terrain is rough, and the inclines of the mountains prevent driving the wagon further into the range. Farge feathers dot and lie along the surroundings, gathered into corners and ditches by the wind and weather. Some of the feathers are disturbed, as though large creatures have been through here recently.
[1d20+18 = 34]>>53762>cart is no-goTracy busies herself with burying the propping the wagon wheel, to prevent the vehicle from rolling back down the mountain, as she wonders what to do next in her poorly-considered plan...
>tfw 9 WisListen check, for good measure.
>>53764Well that game went nowhere.
All Tracy can hear is the wind whistling through the range
>>53765Can she see the top of the spire, where the nest was?
Tracy puts on a grimace, seemingly displeased with something unrelated
"Rigged, it's always rigged...!" she mutters, as she kicks the soil in frustration.
>>53767No
>>53768The models looked way better at least
I mean she can see the spire, but the nest site is obstructed
A crashing sound can be heard in the distance. Its difficult to determine which direction because of the reverberations from the mountains, but it sounds large. Also, there are no birds around.
>>53769Tracy curses to herself as she realizes with comically sudden clarity that this trip to the mountains was even more poorly planned than her last one.
She looks to the fluffy heads of Sam and Bunny sticking out the window, as she ponders what to do.
[1d20+23 = 30]>>53771"Bucking horseapples!" Tracy curses with sudden alarm, realizing she's not in good company.
She looks around, slightly panicked, as she wonders how she could hide a cart so Yuge.
Search check for a hiding spot, because why the hell not.
>>53772In the distance, a humanoid appears to be flying around in a searching pattern. He's too far to make out well, but he maneuvers about with speed and expertise.
[1d20 = 16]>>53773As quick as she's able, Tracy finds a ditch-like spot and begins piling any/all stray feathers onto the cart, trying to make it look as natural as possible
>>53774Tracy, in slight panic, tries her best to wheel her cart off to the inner-side of the outcrop. She tosses her tarp (the one made from ponimaru's and coppers skins) over the exposed side of it, and tosses her entire bag of Dust of Illusion onto it, attempting to make it appear as a rock.
>>53775... Or that, whichever seems more feasible.
>>53776Oh, thats way better. You get a much better bonus to your check that way. Okay, that should be good.
>>53778Tracy makes sure to put the tarp over the window, in attempt to make her birds fall asleep in the darkness (chicks are like that, but idk).
"Quiet, angels" she whispers, as she carefully closes the curtain.
I'm going to assume that Tracy shuttered the windows; it wouldn't do to have fuzzy bird faces sticking out of a large rock if she's engaged in a fight
>>53779K yeah
>>53780Does Tracy have time to make her own Hide check?
[1d20 = 11]>>53781Roll it
[1d20+24 = 26]>>53782Rollin' to make self scarce.
>>53783Not the best roll...
>>53783As Tracy does her best to make herself scarce, the scent of a new creature enters her perimeter of scent sense. Its very high up, and it makes no sound, but its very detectably in the vicinity, except she can't see anything there.
>>53785>perimeter of scent senseSo like ~60 ft up/away?
From her poorly-rolled but skillfully-found hiding spot, Tracy does her best to observe the creature. She draws and knocks her composite bow with a poisoned arrow as she watches the sky and focuses on the scent of the flying creature.
[1d20+18 = 20]>>53786Wait, 60 ft isn't high up. Nevermind.
Tracy watches carefully, squinting to get a look at the creature, to at least determine its size or movements
Spot check
>>53786I reiterate, she sees nothing. The air is absent any creatures, but she can clearly smell something is there
A slight jingle of chain-mail reaches Tracy's ears as the creature flies closer to the "rock", apparently having noticed it.
>>53789Tracy grits her teeth in frustration as she realizes that her chances of being able to advance or even retreat with her birds in tow are next to none, with that flying whateverthefuck on the loose.
"Shit!" Tracy curses under her breath, as she aims her bow towards the sound, realizing her little jig is up.
Is she within ~30 ft of the "rock"?
>>53791Uh, sure, she hid immediately after concealing it, so she'd be right there.
"You find anything yet?" a low and deep voice calls out from distance.
>>53792'Oh, great, a search party.' Tracy thinks to herself, realizing that this isn't going to be as simple as sniping some solitary flying beast
She draws her little animated bowgun-arm-thing out of her bag, letting it rest beside her, as she prepares to engage her now plural enemies (sure, they might not be enemies, but >9 Wis)
And for the heck of it, Detect Good
"No," the creature calls back, resuming visibility. Its a large muscle-bound humanoid with pale blue skin. Its head has small horns atop it, and its eyes are like black pearls. In a sheath slung over its back is a fine great-sword and it is wearing a well-crafted suit of chainmail. It eyeballs the "rock" one last time, squinting at it for a moment, and then flies up and toward his associate. They begin a conversation about the overall goods and resources they have accumulated in this particular "raid". In the distance, a trio of far more primitive looking giant-kin wearing skins and carrying clubs guide a herd of wild cattle, all roped together in a line.
[1d20+18 = 28]>>53794Tracy breaths a sigh of relief as she feels her angels are undiscovered for the time being. She carefully observes the four large creatures from her hiding spot, her ears perking slightly at the mention of a "raid".
Listen check to eavesdrop on conversations, if any.
>Stupid Questions:It was flying earlier, right? Does they all have wings? Which direction are they herding the cattle? Is there another path, or are they on the same one? Does the surrounding area seem to provide sufficient cover for Tracy to trail the ones on the ground?
>>53795First off, there are 5 of them. Two of them are fancy, three of them are durpy, and there's about 2.5 dozen dire cows in the mix.
They do not have wings, but they clearly do and are flying with ease and finesse. They are herding the cattle in Tracy's general direction. The surrounding area might provide cover, to be determined as the area Tracy has decided to hide the rock seems to be along the group's continuing path.
The area in question is something of a clearing, in that it is a patch of relatively zero grade, as opposed to the surroundings. The "rock" is situated toward the lower end of the clearing, nestled between two other smaller rocks, and blends nicely with the scenery. The clearing is about 50' wide and has a few evergreen trees and shrubs here and there, with soccer-ball sized boulders dotting the surface of the ground.
As the primitive ones approach, dutifully herding the cows along, they take note of the clearing and begin speaking to the flying ones in a gutteral language. One of the two, the one who hadn't been invisible, responds in the same language.
"Grog ug ug sit the fuck down."
"Groog ug smash quit being a bitch."
"Ug ug No u."
>>53796>herding the cattle in Tracy's general directionNoted.
Seeing as how she has no means of moving her birds undetected, Tracy decides to stay put hoping her creatures may move on without noticing her birdies. She lays low, and waits for the troupe to move their beasts past, eyes and ears focused on the two fancy ones,
praying her plan goes better than the 4CC games.
The one doing the talking looks more refined than the other two, with more intricate necklaces and skins. It has a pair of leather vambraces and a other bits of armor in addition to its apparel, and its Great-club appears to be an unusually dark tree. I mean its literally the pounded down remains of the root-structure of a tree, and the tree is the shaft.
>>53800'This guy has some cool taste..' Tracy thinks to herself, as she watches the party draw closer.
"We sit nao! Eat nao!"
The two flying ones look to one another and briefly converse.
"Fine. Slaughter one of the cattle then, we've netted almost double our expected score." They continue to discuss in not-really-clear-but-kinda-interpretable giant-speak. This draws hoots from the other two shabby giants, which briefly startles the cows.
One of them winds the cows around a tree (in a spiral spreading outward from the tree), tying the second to last one to the outer rim of the spiral, and then cuts the last one free from the line and leads it to the middle of the clearing. At the same time the other shabby one digs up some fire-wood from the surrounding area.
>>53802'Oh great, looks like they're having a picnic nao.' Tracy thinks with a sigh, realizing that she's in this for the long run.
She looks closely and watches to see if the hungry giants are coming any closer, before settling down in the grass observantly, trying to make herself semi-comfortable, to avoid straining her limbs.
She watches.
For the record, I'm designating them as 2 Shiny ones, 2 Shabby ones, and 1 Not-So Shabby. They're all giant-kin, you probably already know what they are, but I'm going to avoid going with specific terms and try and do more of visualizing description rather than saying "They're these guys".
>>53805All Tracy sees is five big burly monsters who are almost definitely too big for her to take on by herself. She's taken slight interest in them though, and she's observing from a distance.
>>53804Picnic time indeed. After a bit, the massive creatures assemble a sizeable pit of firewood, which they set roaring. At the same time, the unfortunate cow has its neck broken, and is subsequently butchered (crudely) on the spot. A few choice bits are eaten immediately by the shiny ones, but the Notso otherwise sets to cooking the food with a fragrant collection of spices.
>>53806At this point they're all settled within 50 feet of her, the shiny ones having settled on the ground.
>>53805If we're being honest I have no fucking idea what they are
>>53805 forgive my shitpost Not-So Shabby leader standing by. All giants report in.
Shabby-1 standing by...
Shabby-2 standing by...
Shiny-1 standing by...
Shiny-2 standing by...
Unfurl your weapons into attack position.
>>53807What time of day is it btw? I figured some time in the afternoon.
>fragrant collection of spices*stomach growls*
"Oh shoot, there go the cravings again."
[hushed hungry horse noises]
Tracy continues observing the herding party, trying to fight-down her irrationally ravenous pregnancy cravings, as she pays closer attention to the shiny giants who appear to be in-charge to her.
>>53808Splendid. The other shiny one has an intricate Great Mace slung over its back. All five of them appear to be warriors more or less, though the shiny ones have obviously magical abilities. They banter back and forth, mostly the pairs talking about w/e and occasionally referencing eachother's conversation while the notso continues impromptu-barbecuing the food.
>>53809KEK, good shit
>>53808It's better that way.
As the preparation continues, the two shiny ones draw lots for meat, and the notso designates his choice. The remainder falls to the shabby ones, who don't seem to agree on how to divy up the remainder.
>>53814Now I have a strange feeling that you know...
Eh, whatever.
Torc returns to inspecting the airship before take off
[1d20+21 = 30]>>53812Tracy creeps closer, ever so slowly, drawn in by adventurous curiosity and definitely
not the smell of delicious barbecue. She circles around the trees, hoping for some cover as she observes the picnickers.
Rolling to move silently.
>>53817Tracy would've put her bow away by now, since she needs all four hooves to move at her full speed, and she knows ranged combat is a retarded idea.
As the two shabby ones continue to bicker, one ultimately challenges the other one in some manner and they take positions in the clearing.
[1d20+4 = 5]>>53819Sense Motive check, to ballpark-guess what they're about to fight over.
>>53820I'm pretty sure you fucked that up
The grey circles are large rocks, the red circle is the "rock", the blue circles, which have flown to elevation for safety are the shinys, the green is notso, and the beige ones are the shabby ones which pick up boulders and face eachother from a distance.
>>53823>>53820Tracy watches dumbfounded, having absolutely
no idea what the shabbys are about to do or why.
[2d20 = 35]
They both puff out their chests at each other, clutch the boulder as tightly as possible, and roar as intimidatingly as possible at one another for a moment, before the Notso waves his hand and they simultaneously throw their boulders at one another.
[2d20 = 32]
One boulder glances off one while the other takes a solid hit in the gut.
After a moment to sturdy himself, he roars, which is repeated by his opponent and then the other creatures.
The two again pick up boulders.
[1d100 = 45]
And this time the other shabby one gets hit good
>>53826Overtaken by her cravings, Tracy wishes she had popcorn. Having none, she just covers an onion in chocolate syrup (pregnant women always have chocolate) and munches on it, as she watches the two go at it.
Oooh. Ooooh. Uhm,... he didn't make it. The previously undamaged creature took the boulder right to the face. There is a moment of stunned silence as his oversized frame comes crashing to the ground, along with the boulder, his forehead distorted inwardly.
>>53828>pregnant women always have chocolateThis game never ceases to make me kek.
Torc heads off to find Infernius or Trump, leaving Snek watching the airship
The now victorious shabby cheers in triumph, while the shiny ones emit impressed cheers of enthusiasm.
>>53829>didn't make itTracy adjusts her lens to determine if the shabby is in fact dead, with the Deathwatch function.
The game they played was a game of dodgeball/chicken, loser forfeits or falls.
>>53831Tracy raises an eyebrow from her hiding spot, impressed.
>>53831>>53829Fucking brutal
Well, he's at -3, and no one is tending to his braining, so yeah, he's kill
>>53829RIP previously undamaged Shabby... you will be missed.
>>53839You're gonna fit right in
F for shabby
>>53839Poor shabby's wife and children, and their company safety record
>>53838Tracy watches for a moment, looking to see how the rest of the party acts.
00 DAYS SINCE SOMEONE GOT BRAINDED
>>53840F
>>53841And I’m assuming giants don’t have the best life insurance plans either. So sad...
>>53846They really don't! They've got these stupid people negotiating for their workforce and they're just not good, quality jobs. Sad!
*munches chocolate onion*
>>53847All the good jobs are being taken by foreigners, like the damn cave trolls.
GM was secretly hoping one of them rolled a 1 and accidentally hit the "rock"
So in conclusion of the duel, the monstrocities carry on eating the cow. There's only four of them now, but that doesn't seem to bother them. At the end of eating, they realize they don't have the means to retain the body, so they leave it where it lays and eventually start untying the cows to continue along.
Has it been, what, four rounds since the duel?
Tracy walks up to shabby, who should be at -7-8 HP, and duct-tapes his limbs together before casting Cure Moderate Wounds.
As the sounds of the Ogres (they were Ogres by the way) grow increasingly distant, the clearing quiets leaving Tracy to mill about undisturbed.
>>53851It would have taken a good half an hour to eat, so he would have bled out. Don't worry, there's always the entertron.
I did speed up activity there for a moment cuz it seemed like Tracy was going to quietly observe as long as the Birds weren't detected
... and also cuz now I want food
[1d20 = 4]>>53853Aww, too late it seems. I thought she would've had a chance to question him after paralyzing him with a death attack while he was helpless.
Tracy dumps Shabby's corpse into her bag, like the body-snatcher she is, and finally wises-up enough to figure out that she's never going to get this wagon up the mountain.
For the sake of it, Tracy make a Track check to determine which direction the giants were headed (can't remember how many ranks, so just rollin')
>>53855Meh, not really, not without risking exposing herself
>>53856Tracy takes one last look at the top of the mountain, before turning take the tarp off of her wagon.
>>53857She appears somewhat disappointed, slightly torn in feeling the need to turn back to keep her birds safe from further danger, despite her efforts to get them this far.
>tfw 9 Wis*sighs*
>>53858For what its worth, the daddy bird would have moved on, and the feathers strewn about are remnants.
But since you wanted to go wandering in the mountains with a precious wagon, and you did play it well and low-key, you do get an ogre corpse out of it.
>>53859*gathers feathers because why the fuck not*
Tracy, hooking herself back to the wagon, decides to head home
"Sorry, girls. Looks like we'll have to call it quits for the day." Tracy says apologetically.
Tracy gives her birds a chance to hop about in the clearing for a little while to let them stretch out their wings and get some fresh air after being cooped up for so long
*two gigantic balls of fluff comically pop out of the wagon, seemingly too small for them*
>>53860Oh, I'm not disappointed. It was a >9 Wis idea in the first place: I expected catastrophe since before the encounter.
I don't need to play-out the trip back to the tower, do I?
Tracy would've headed back after letting her birds hop around in the meadow a bit, and brought them home with floral wreaths, before feeding them putting them to bed in their room.
>>53861<foooof><fooooof>>>53862No, though I rather enjoy the image of them frolicking in the clearing, much as they might have if Thez hadn't wanted to make thanksgiving dinner
Now then, new guy. What you have seen is the general format. I will endeavor to be as arbitrary as possible in responding to character input or declared actions. Most of the time I won't warn the player that what they are about to do is ill advised, because any mess that can get gotten into can get gotten out of. How difficult it is to get out of depends on the player's choices, which may deliberately be less intuitive than they might appear.
So whenever Styx is ready to do so, he will find himself waking up in a clean and empty glassy room. He is lying on a bed of sorts, and at the foot of the bed is a chest. The room is otherwise unfurnished, and it has a futuristic, sterile atmosphere to it. There is a single door, also made of the glassy substance.
>>53863Tracy smiles warmly as she watches her birdies chase each hop around the clearing in excitement and childish fascination, chasing eachother and turning other rocks, and enjoying the fresh mountain mountain air until they tucker themselves out.
"Today wasn't so bad.." she says calmly, as she herds the gigantic balls of fluff into their giant box, and trots on home to the tower.
>>53864 sorry for the delay Drowsily wakes up
Glances around the room
doesn’t my character have recollection of this place?
>>53867 or is it like a prison?
>>53867No worries, I was gonna leave it open ended
Styx has no recollection of this building, but it doesn't seem like a prison, the high-quality bedroll in particular seeming to suggest relative safety
>>53869Still a bit worried from waking up in a strange place, he gets up and looks around the room. He takes notice of the chest and attempts to open it, wondering if any of his belongings are inside.
>>53870Well, he's generally wearing anything he would be, and anything that can't be immediately carried when lying in a bed is in the chest. This includes any weapons he may have had, etc.
>>53871 I assume that I start with a weapon? He gathers his belongings.
“How do I have no memory of this place? I know I’m a little absent minded from time to time, but winding up in a strange room? I hope I’m not trespassing!”
He heads to the door.
>>53872I should explain. The character that you are playing - Styx - isn't just a run of the mill character. I'm not sure exactly what his last memories are, but he has lived and fought and bled many times before this moment. He would have with him the precise array of possessions and equipment that he could expect to have, being a successful adventurer.
But no, he's got nothing on the building or how he got there. Is he opening the door?
>>53873Stix cautiously opens the door, half expecting some kind of monster to rush out at him.
[1d20 = 5]>>53874Not a monster, no.
The dice script works in the e-mail field. The result you're seeing is "dice 1d20", which is also Styx' saving throw.
... which unfortunately a 5 is not sufficient to avoid the experience of the room suddenly and inexplicably bursting into magical flame, lightly charring Styx, but otherwise not harming him or his belongings. The door is now open to a hallway.
>>53867Seems like Lenos has been back at it
>>53878Resetting his traps is Lenos' only prescribed idle behavior
>>53875>check back to the first posts>we've been doing this shit for six months nowHuh
>>53876 got it >>53877Startled by this, Stix whips out his dagger. With the blade in his mouth, he mutters:
“Ok... so, I wasn’t supposed to do that...”
He progresses stealthily down the hall.
>>53879>>53878Kek
For Tracy, it's managing her edges, and she would be in the armory working on weapons after she put her birds to bed.
>>53882And I didn’t do that right... oops
[1d20 = 17]
Let’s see if this works...
I feel ashamed that I can’t figure out basic commands
>>53884As he enters the hallway, he notices a sign that has been charred countless times that reads "Please don't firetrap the rooms". There is a door on either end that is open, otherwise the side he came from has doors all along the wall.
[20d1 = 20]>>53885Hey at least you haven't done this before
>>53888Amen
>>53886He peaks inside the open door on the right side.
>>53890It opens to a larger hallway, with more ambient lighting. The door is situated at a corner, around which turns a hallway based on an equalateral triangle formation (the hallway is a perimeter, around the base of a pyramid,... sorta.)
[1d20 = 5]>>53891Continues down this hall, slightly more relaxed.
He observes the layout as he walks to see if he can picture where in the world he is.
this would be some sort of check, correct?
>>53892Unless your looking for something that may be hidden, you usually don't need to roll to observe your surroundings.
>>53892You're coming up on some double doors on the left, and a staircase just beyond.
Torc continues to wander while looking for Trump or Infernius and ends up in the tower
>>53895I thought he was going to the gnomish city?
>>53895He's on the airship right? Thez and Infernius are curled up on a couch (a loveseat? Xp).
>>53896Well first he has to drag the others on.
>>53897On the airship or no?
[1d20 = 18]>>53894As much as climbing a staircase would be the logical way out, Stix is curious by nature and decides to push his luck and attempt to open the double doors, praying that they don’t shoot more fire this time.
I have a bad feeling about this place, pic related
>>53899No, that was just for the general quarters.
Upon entering the stables (the double doors) Styx finds a well-stocked and aesthetically designed stables, including a gray-ish colt with wrappings all over his face.
Additionally there may be 2 birds, each the size of UPS trucks
For visualization, are we going with Styx the youtuber, or are we just using the name Styx?
From distant in the Tower, Tracy hears the faint sound of what just might be someone setting off a firetrap
[1d20 = 20]>>53901There is a youtuber named Styx? I didn’t consider that... I was just thinking the name would fit.
>>53900Does the colt appear hostile, having weapons or something?
>>53903Damn it, I didn’t want to roll!
>>53904Sorry, still working out the kinks in my approach to this game.
[1d20+21 = 37]Rolling to Move Silently
>>5390420's are always good. Know that.
>>53906I know, but not when you don’t have anything to do. I simply asked if there were weapons at play. My kind of luck that I roll one where it can’t be used.
>>53900Tracy moved her birds to their own room after she decided to get rid of Troll.
>>53903>>53904You never need to apologize for rolling a 20
As for Styx(HexenHammer or some shit), yes; hes a gaunt-AF fag who people seem to like for some reason. No worries if no relation.
>>53908Ah, k. No birds, just the colt that appears very surprised and furtively wary.
>>53901>>53909He was named Stix because he has a bundle of Sticks (a faggot) as his cutie mark: it was supposed to illustrate his resourcefulness and toughness.
>>53911Oh, that makes sense. He might get on well with Norfilly, if ever.
>>53910I signal to the colt.
“Hey there, I’m a bit lost here. You know your way around this place?”
>>53913"... Yes. Do not be alarmed," he says throwing a small object back out into the hallway, which explodes after a moment.
Tracy hears an explosion.
In spite of the explosion, he holds his hooves out non-offensively. "You are,... dead!" he struggles with the correct words and emphasis.
"But here is not so dead, and so here you are," he continues, ineffectively.
Does Torc hear the explosion?
>>53914>>53915Stix rushes inside, but tries to remain calm and talk to the colt.
“O...k... so, what was that bottle for then?”
>>53917Autocorrect turned my misspelling of bomb to bottle... man my luck just keep improving. Oh well...
>>53916That's just one of Ponimaru's circus tricks. Not powerful enough to hear from the airship.
>>53914Tracy is still sneaking towards there, but she'll be there soon. She listens through the wall of the stables.
>>53917"Thats cuz there is usually a player around to do the introductions and explanation. I'm,... just an NPC. I don't know if I'm qualified."
>>53916No, the airship is suitably away from the tower that he heard nothing.
[1d20+21 = 30]>>53920Rollin' to keep Sneakin'
Oy vey i slept for like 17 hours.
>>53922No shit you did, but shush, new player
>>53920“Explain? You have me a little lost here. Calm down and let’s start from the beginning. What’s your name?”
>>53921As Tracy continues toward the source of the fire-trap, and then the explosion, she can hear conversation emanating from the stables
>>53924"I am,... not known to have a name, so I have taken to be called Ponimaru. I came here from another world, much as I assume you did."
>>53923*checks for suit merchant*
>>53927Infernius is on the airship with him.
>>53925Tracy peeks around furtively to evesdrop on the newcomer and ponimaru.
>>53929I was in the suit shoppe
>>53926“Neat. I can’t recall another world at the moment, but I guess I will take your word for it. It’s better than what I can think up for why I’m here. Now, Ponimaru, what was the bomb for?”
>>53928Oh yes, I forgot about that. Thez is sleeping on the airship, Infernius was inquiring with the french tailor.
"B'yeeeessss?"
So, would Torc hear it since he's at the tower?
>>53932"You okay m8? Did you forget what me asked for?"
>>53934Oh now he's at the tower? I thought he was prepping for takeoff on the airship.
>>53935"NO!" he waves his hand and presents 5 mannequins with varying designs of fashy uniform. "B'yessss?"
[1d20 = 11]>>53932Tracy creeps up behind Ponimaru while he's talking and smacks him on the plot painfully
(unarmed strike + Death Attack->Paralysis).
"Hey, little weeb, how have you been these days?"
>>53939He's not going to the gnome city? Pretty sure Infernius would've said he was going suit-shopping when he left.
A wild (err... domesticated) Trumpaladin appears. Somewhere
>>53940Not yet
>>53941Hey brad
>>53938Jumps a little at your arrival
“Oh... hello.”
>>53943"Oh, hi." Tracy says, giggling at the (non-lethally) injured ninja-horse
>>53944Wasn't he also on the airship?
>>53938Attack is deflected
"You. I'm not as soft as last time, if thats your question," he replies, taking a defensive stance.
"Watch out for this one. She won't harm you, but she might kill you," Ponimaru remarks to Styx.
>>53944Welcome back
>>53947“I like you already Ponimaru. You got your quirk.”
>>53945“A harmless death? Impressive. I assume you two own the place?”
>>53937"Me like them. Me like them alot. Thank you frenchmen"
>>53947Shoot, that's surprising.
Tracy gives a nonchalant huff and rolls her eyes.
She turns to the blue stallion
>>53949"The name's Tracy." she says, leaning against the stable walls as she picks her teeth with a dagger
>you two own the place"Nah, I don't own this place. I just live here. You came from one of the rooms down that hallway, I'll guess?"
Trumpaladin, not yet having arranged everything with Torcuil (evidently), decides to look for where the hell his alleged-waifu is
Detect evil
>>53951“Nice to meet you Tracy. Yes, I came from one of those. I have no idea how I got there, but I woke up, got blasted by some fire, and stumbled across this fellow.”
>>53951Ponimaru breathes a sigh of relief that he won't have to defend his life to the death,... again, and steps back to allow distance, but visibly relaxes
>>53953The pale blue, silver-maned mare puts her dagger into her cloak pocket and rests on all four hooves.
"If you're here, that probably means you've died... or something.." Tracy says, not looking entirely sure herself "I woke up in one of those rooms myself just a few months ago. I've been here ever since."
>>53954Tracy cocks her head towards the ninjahorse threateningly as to startle him, then turns around smirking.
>>53955“So, if we died... if this an afterlife of reward or punishment? Just want to know what we are dealing with here.”
Torc begins wandering the tower yelling "INFERNIUS, ARE YOU COMING TO GNOME TOWN?"
Hopefully stumbling upon Tracy and Styx
>>53954I guess Trumpaladin eventually follows the scent of Evil to the stable. After making coffee
>>53955>>53953>>53954From the entryway of the stable enters a tall man with strawberry blonde hair. He wears what appears to be glimmering half-playte armor over-top a business suit. His demeanor suggests a sort of indifference, like he has stumbled upon the situation. He calls out as if calling for a child to come along on a car trip
"Tracy?"
>>53957Im Not in the tower.
>>53957Which would naturally have been heard by Tracy adnd Styx. Not Infernius though.
>>53958He's carrying a cup of coffee too
>>53959No shit, but Torc doesn't know that.
>>53960Exactly.
>>53958"There he is,...."
>>53961"its Trumpaladin,...."
(to the tune of the Mrs. America theme)
>>53956"Well it's
definitely not a reward" The pale horse says with an almost sardonic tone "But I can't say it's a punishment either."
"Bottom line is, you, me, and a few other guys have been 'placed' here, by some weird beings beyond our comprehension. They're called "faggots", and to them, our lives are merely a means of killing time, and we'll be put through countless trials and tribulations for the sake of their entertainment. The only way to find peace is to please them, and so I hope you're in for an adventure, because things can get pretty messy on weekends." she says, seemingly indifferent to the horrific circumstance of her existence
"Try not to think about it too hard."
>>53963*Music plays as he does so*
Yes, he's changed the sound system
"Hello weeaboo horse. What are you doing with my waifu?"
>>53964“I...”
is cut off
>>53965Turns to him
“Oh, sorry. I just got here. I’m just trying to understand what’s happening around here.”
>>53964>doots in agreement
>>53961"Good afternoon, Flashy."
>>53966"Who are you? How many stallions has she been around since I last saw her?"
Suddenly, Torc finds his way into the room preferably falling from the ceiling
"Hey guys, have you seen Infernius?"
>>53968"Who is he?"
>>53970"Well there you are. We need to leave for Sparintenar. No, I don't know where he is"
>>53970Somehow in fact, he does fall into the room through the ceiling, his tartan ancap robes flailing as he makes his etrance
>>53969“I’m Stix...”
Getting a little overwhelmed by all of the commotion going on.
“I think I better ask if there are any more coming in here, I may just introduce myself to all of you at once.”
>>53971>who is he"Fresh meat. Appeared right out of the residence hall."
>>53970*steps around mage*
"I think he was going suit-shopping last I heard. Try looking around town."
>>53971"Sparint- NO, we're going to see the gnomes."
>>53972I'm gonna say passwall
>>53973Torc picks himself up and brushes off
"Nice to meet you Stix"
>>53972"Gah! Wear some more damned clothing Torcuil"
>>53973"Uh huh, and I'm her... Ah, nevermind."
>>53975"Why would we want to see the gnomes? How are they going to help us?"
>>53974Trumpaladin does not respond immediately
>>53975More than a little confused at talk about faggots, adventure, and gnomes
“Nice to meet you as well”
>>53973"There's still two more, but this will do, go ahead," Ponimaru whispers.
Please note as you (the faggot) introduce Styx (the character) to the other characters, that Styx was a badass. We're going to spend the next couple months at least figuring out how and why he was a badass. Also, he has a relative memory of his past live(s?) and being a badass, which can be interwoven at length into his disposition/strategy.
For example, Infernius has the collective past lives of the German soldiers
post ww2. Feel free to get creative.
>>53978Or don't. Amnesia is also an option.
>>53976"Technology, plus I want my ship checked."
I mean, he would be wearing a kilt if he did
>>53977Torc leans over and whispers in Trump's ear "Who the fuck is this guy?"
>>53980*wouldn't
fucking typos
>>53980"What we
need is men and allies. And I know where they have men with freaking anti-tank weapons. And that ship works, so no need...
I'm not sure. Hopefully not Tracy's boyfriend"
>>53982"Yes it works, but fucking
how? What are we gonna do if it breaks down?"
>>53978“Ok.. I’m Stix, as you heard. I can’t remember a whole lot for some reason. Last I remember, I was scouting for an archeologist client... I know I was considered a quite talented ranger, so they hired me to clear out the area from creatures, run of the mill stuff. I guess it didn’t go well for me to end up here.”
Desperately tries to remember more
“So, while I try to collect my thoughts, may I hear about you all?”
>>53984"Oh, you must have woken up down the hall. Nice to meet you. I'm guessing the Blue One gave you the quick run down.
I am Trumpaladin - paladin of Trump. I am here to spread the word of Football, liberate this world from tyranny and evil, and to make Port Barry - or Elway permitting, the world - Great Again. In another life I was a law enforcement officer and then briefly a politician, hoping to hold back the tides that threatened to drown civilization"
*goes to cosplay shoppe to buy thez a school girl outfit*
>>53986Yes, fine, they've built costumes for her before, they know her measurements.
>>53984"Oh I can give a quick run down.
I'm Torcuil, I got gud with meme-magic after living in a cave for years.
This one
*points to Trump* is Trumpaladin, local horsefucker and the guy who likes to assume he's in charge. Likes sportsball.
The blue one is Tracy, she's nice...
usually muh haggisNot here is the local minotaur. Large red fellow, called Infernuis. Apparently he has powers from some god, though I've never really seen him use them..."
>>53987*and then i bring my men their uniforms*
>>53982>>53983"Just drop Flashy off at Sparta before you go off to see the gnomes. It's just a couple hours detour by air."
>>53984"Do you hunt?" Tracy asks
>>53989But you didn't decide on which one! One was navy blue with brass buttons, one was gunmetal with black buttons,....
Torc can also give himself on demand brain aneurysms
Like so
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8ju_10NkGY
>>53988Trumpaladin corrects a couple points
">good"
">assume"
">nice"
>>53984Trumpaladin adds that the Minotaur "He's a literal nazi"
>>53992Gunmetal with the black is the one i choose.
>>53994"You know, I would probably like you better as a toad."
>>53985“Very exciting. Is there much evil in this world to liberate us from?”
>>53988“Meme magic? I want to here more on this as time permits. Sounds impressive.”
>>53991“Yes. I love to hunt magical creatures especially. Timberwolves and the like can be a real burden to me and my clients. Best actively fix the problem before it starts.”
>>53998"Sure, I can give you quick example if you want sometime"
PRAISE EPONA AGAIN
>>53996"A frog is your god right? I guess that's a complement"
>>53998"It's absolutely overrunning with it. And when you think you've killed it, you find out is has access to the same basic ressurection spells you do.... Do you like crusading, per chance?" Trumpaladin's eyes widen enthusiastically when this is said
\r
>>54000"Toads aren't frogs, dumbass"
>>54000>same spellsThez rolls olver, elsewhere, still clutching the Infernius plushie. "Kefka,..." she mutters
>>53998"Timber wolves, eh?" Tracy implores, seemingly interested
"Those things don't go down easily: You must be pretty decent if you hunt those for a living."
"How do you prefer to fight?" she asks, flashing a dagger
>>54002I go and get the suits thank Frenchy then bring them to my men.
>>53994“A nazi? Sounds cool. Can’t wait to meet him.”
Has no idea what one is
>>54000“I do seem to remember liking that. Fighting for that which is holy and righteous, the good stuff.”
>>54003“I personally like daggers as well”
Shows her his dagger
“I also build traps, why do all the fighting yourself when nature and machines can help you out?”
"Too bad Snek isn't here right now..."
>>54005*Eyes widen immensely*
"M-me too!"
Trumpaladin takes out his talking magicaly sword and holds him up in the air in a heroic pose
>>54006"Where is she?"
>>54005"I know my way around traps, although I find a certain gratification on landing the finishing shot myself." Tracy says twirling her dagger
"It does help when you're enemy can't move though."
>>54006That'd be the last of your worries if you let the >2 Int, arm-less animal drive the airship alone
>>54007"She? Oh, that. It wore off. He's watching the airship currently."
>>54008>14 intYou messed that up
[4d8 = 22]
[1d4 = 4]
[1d10 = 7]
Damn. Tracy, ur Ogre was a snake in the grass
>>54015My confusion overwhelms me
Trumpaladin has no idea what's going on, but he is ready "Come at me mother fucker!" Woo hoo!"
>>54013*ears perk*
"Sounds like one of the faggots got bored; the 'session' is in full effect. Get ready for one hell of a ride."
*draws sword*
Tracy gets:
2200 silver
400 gold
70 platinum
8000 copper
2 gems
2 art
1 item (??)
>>54018"WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TRACY!"
Torc considers a moment, then grabs his Staff of Power, his gun, and activates the cuff of blinking or whatever it was
>>54019WWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
>>54019Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee?
>>54020That would be on the corpse of the ogre she happened to witness the owning of and take possession of the corpse which was surprisingly loaded
>>54024Loaded is an understatement.
>>54025Ninja-sneak baller perhaps?
>>54018“I’m deeply confused. What faggot?”
Scans the room for intruders
>>54019#winning
Body-snatching ftw!
>>54027"Never mind." Tracy says, embarrassed at her ill-considered fourth-wall break.
>>54028It's only 700 gp equivalent, and you could have gotten all of it by just looting the corpse rather than taking the corpse itself
>>54029I didn't intend to loot it. Just took it because reasons.
The point being is that she made a considerable plunder without actually having to stab anything. She lucked-out.
“Well, back on topic a bit, what is this place? Just a hotel for the dead? Is there any other purpose for this building?”
>>54028lol its not meta its "breaking the 4th wall"!
>>54032"Why this is Trump Tower of course. The center of operations for the present party. It has been the center of operations for previous parties as well. It was here when I got here"
>>54027>hotel for the dead"You could call it that. Anyone who wakes up in that hallway can enter and leave this place freely. It's got quite a few facilities, especially for crafting." Tracy says, inspecting a double-ended swortsword.
Torc looks to be having a one sided conversation, except no one can here anything.
A minute or so later, Mr. Snek appears
>>54036>Torcuil is talking to himself for a few minutesKnowing Torcuil, they would think nothing of it
>>54038Nooooooooooooo, that wore off>>54037Fair enough of a point
>>54039>blue snek ponewud fug
>>54034“I like the name. Has a great ring to it.”
>>54035Looks at the blade
“You got to teach me about crafting then sometime. I think I could cook up something useful if I just had the know-how”
>>54036Hardly surprised at someone appearing after all the strange happenings going on
“And who is this?”
>>54040Mr. Snek is not for sexual
>>54035"A few loosely-organised hooligans crash here for the most part until something big and scary comes to attack them.
You can find work in the Port outside, and the surrounding forests and mountains are rich with game of every size category.
All-in-all, it's pretty comfy, except when it's
not."
>>54042Snek-pone shall not be infringed
>>54041"Ah, this is Mr. Snek"
>blep"He's my... familiar I believe the term is... anyway, he's a big-ass snake."
And he's wearing a top hat
>>54044Talk shit, get bit
>>54045“I see. And is he sentient like us?”
>>54041Tracy smiles, showing off her ominously sharp teeth, at the mention of this.
"Oh this one?" she says, balancing the sword on one hoof with precarious dexterity
"It's a beast-bane sword. I made it for a creature I was tracking, in case he needed a little bit of 'convincing' in the custody dispute. Great weapon for a mare like me, who prefers fighting with multiple weapons."
She then lets out a sigh, dropping the sword and letting it sink into the stable's bedding
"However, it seems like that creature isn't in the area anymore, so it'll just g back on the pile of other never-used weapons. You can have it if you want." She says, a grimace of disappointment crossing her face as she recalls her endeavor that previous morning.
>>54047"Yeah, he's sentient. He can't talk, but he can do this"
Torc places his hand on Snek, and after some hissing on both sides Snek transforms into a staff in a flash of light.
"Pretty neat, eh?"
>>54047"Sort of." Tracy says, with a snicker
"He's mostly there to protect the wizards ass, because the scott is uber-squishy when it comes to physical combat."
>>54048*mention of the knives
>>54048“Isn’t in the area? Well, if you ever need to track down something, I’m more than happy to help.”
>>54049>>54050“Very neat. Does this come from that meme magic?”
>>54041"You said you did security work for archaeological teams? How comfortable are you in cities?"
>>54050"He has only half the magician's hit points. Protecting the Wizard is Infernius's and my job"
>>54052"I don't think you want to track what she is talking about..."
>>54050"Well, he's wiser than you"
>>54052"To be honest, IDK. My meme magic has become more...
stabilized recently. Tho I did whip a
demi?god's bitch ass with a single spell."
>>54052>meme magick"No, it comes from-"
*leans in close and whispers in the secret language of horse*
"virtual divegrass."
>>54052"I know a thing or two about tracking, although I don't have very much experience."
>>54054"Well, that 'demi-god' is around if you want to demonstrate for him"
>>54053“I’ll be honest. I hate traveling to cities. It is very crowded. I might much more at home in the wild. However, no one said life would be a walk in the park. I do what has to be done. Did you have a plan for me to go there?”
>>54054 dubs, meme magic confirmed there are gods in this land to fight?
>>54059"Huh?"
>>54061"Yeah, he violated my NAP so I used my recreational McNuclear warheads on him"
>>54061"Well, most of the months I have been here have centered in the town just down the road. And most of the rest of that time has centered in a few other cities nearby on this continent. In fact, the dress wearing guy and myself were going to go to two distant cities...
But... do you like to hunt" Trumpaladin places extra emphasis on the next word "
dragons?"
>>54062"You know Kefka is alive. And you know the next time we see him, he'll be taking things more seriously"
Tracy grows seemingly impatient with standing in the stables for all this time with several people.
"I heard around town last week a rumor of persons disappearing around the lumber mill in the forest, so I thought I might investigate to make sure there isn't anything poaching Slovenia's slav- I mean well-treated employees. I'm heading out to the forest."
>>54064"No words to me? Well, go on then"
>>54063"HE'S ALIVE?"
Torc reeeees on the inside
>>54066"Yes. We heard him. An experienced cleric could have brought him back, and maybe they have the same resurrection technology we do. But he's back"
>>54066Yes. The party missed the drawn out cinema cuz GM was mad, but Kefka being alive was deliberately revealed
>>54067Torc is no longer reeee-ing on the inside
>>54063“I remember fighting a dragon, but not killing it. Never hunted them down either, are they a problem here?”
>>54067“And how dangerous is this god?”
>>54064“I wish you luck.”
Wishes he could come, but had a feeling he is not invited. And doesn’t want to get on her bad side pestering to join.
>>54070*looks back*
"Hey, you said you wanted to learn about crafting, right? There's someone at the mill you should probably meet.
Don't slow me down" Tracy says, as she makes her way towards the stairs.
>>54070"No. Except for one. Fuck her. Just.... I don't want to go into it. But we haven't met many yet. But I sort of want to.
He's not a 'god' and if these people ever met one they'd stop throwing around the term like it meant nothing. But he is insanely dangerous. Certainly as dangerous as all of us combined. He feels that existance has no meaning beyond what beauty there may be in destruction. He is an incredibly powerful arch mage. Be wary of him.
Yeah, she doesn't like anyone, or to do things with people..."
Trumpaladin hangs his head a little, seeming defeated
>>54068*dabs because bored and alone*
>>54072“Well, I will love to hear about about all of this, but I’m dying to see what this place looks like. I’m going with Tracy. See you guys later.”
>>54071Follows Tracy to the stairs.
>>54074"Now hold on. She's talking about a carpenter. Is carpentry what you're really interested in here?"
>>54076“And she mentioned a forest. That’s like my Trump Tower. I got to see how that is. Do you guys want to come along?”
>>54077"I just wanted... never mind"
>>54078“Wanted what? I’m listening”
>>54078Wasn't he going to go meet the Spartans?
>>54080>throws Trump out of airship when above spartan land
>>54079"No, it's not you... But nice to meet you"
>>54081>9 strength
>>54082“Nice to meet you too good sir.”
Does a salute and runs off after Tracy
>>54083>Forgets that Trumpaladin is taking 2 dozen strong men with him>>54085*looks along sadly*
>>54084He's not a unicorn
>>54086Eh, whatever
>Torc faggot falls asleepAssume Torc and Snek get the ship ready to depart, and they leave whenever everone who wants to go is ready. Forst Spartan land, then gnome land
>>54087But I am a sorcerer
>>54086Most of your followers would be lvl 1. You'd only have a few lvl 4 followers, so it's not really humane to pit them against any PC character.
>>54087The spell telekinesis.
And unicorn's telekinesis isn't that strong. More like at-will Mage Hand.
*dabs on alll the npcs in town*
>>54090Your men should have their suits ordered by now. Was Infernius going to see the gnomes with Torc?
>>54085Tracy trots off towards the mill at the edge of the forest, with the stallion in tow.
>>54089Except that that's wrong, because they are level 5, and who knows what the Spartan Auxilaries are. But more to the point, it's a strength check, not a battle. And I think a level 1 fighter whatever could beat a high level wizard on that
>>54093>lvl 5How can
all of your followers be lvl 5?
>>54094Even at 25th leadership lvl, you only get two lvl 5 followers.
>>54094I think GM took the set of level 2s and let them level up, and more or less ignored the other followers. but whatever. Why are you
>>54084 >>54089 >>54094 arguing so pointlessly?
>>54096>arguingNot really an argument, just a thought of what it could've looked like when Torc threw him off the airship.
Is GM still here?
>>54097And no one is throwing any one off an airship because we haven't left yet
>>54098What's he doing now?
>>54095“So, who are we going to go see?”
>>54100Trumpaladin could have answered that better...
>>54099Shrugging
I guess they are about to leave then
*walks to airship defeated with the suits because i was unable to make it to police station*
>>54100"A unicorn. She's a carpenter who takes her work
very seriously; makes everything from furniture to siege equipment. She arrived here a couple months back, and has basically made the mill into her own little empire. She's a friend of mine, so I figured I'd check it out if anything's been causing trouble around her turf."
>>54102It's okay. Trumpaladin just wanted a hug... but never got one
>>54105The hope she'd come to him...
>>54107"Aww... I love you. I can count on you. Do you want to go to Krenshall and our Sparintenar with us?"
>>54103“Think she will take a liking or disliking to me?”
>>54108"Yeah me want see gnome tech we need guns."
>>54108"Me love you too."
>>54110"Why?"
>>54109>opening that can of wormsOh God
>>54109"Well, that's hard to say; she definitely likes lumber, so if you're willing to talk about that for three and a half hours, you'd probably hit off pretty well... The only thing I can say for sure is that when it comes to moving wood, she doesn't mess around.
She's the only one I know around here who spends so much time at the edge of the forest, so if you're looking for a hunting/trapping requisition she might know someone you could meet to find work or make a name for yourself."
>>54112Huh?
>>54113“Well, I’m willing to learn about lumber then. I need all the allies I can get if strange beings try to kill us for enjoyment.”
>>54112"Guns are super effective against no guns."
>>54114I'm not sure I want to say it aloud for fear of meta-gaming
>>54115*checks D&D weapons list for guns*
>>54114"Have you heard about our lord and savour Adolf Hitler?"
>>54117I thought your character was apart from mine, out of speaking range. If not:
“No. I haven’t. Who is that?”
>>54114Hopefully that strange being gets back before the other strange beings fall asleep"I'll warn 'ya: She can be a bit of a slave-driver when it comes to work. Otherwise, she's actually pretty polite."
>>54118"The greatest man to ever live! He was able to revive his dying country by kicking out all the (((parasites)))"
>>54116It doesn't need to be in the list gm said 5 months ago everything is a reference that can be used.
>>54119“Discipline does the body good. It’s worth the skills I need to learn.”
[spoilers] indeed, but if not, this has been great so far
>>54120“Sounds like a good guy. I know a thing or two about removing animal parasites, so he sounds kind of relatable.”
>>54122You know your getting tired when you fail spoilers. *facepalm*
>>54118"Since we're ignoring distance now, I'll say this. Don't get
too close to her"
>>54120"That's not how things went down in my timeline"
>>54121Yeah but that's overthrowing the game we've been playing for 5 months and replacing it with something different that we don't have developed metrics for
>>54124>overthrowing the game we've been playing for 5 monthsWhat game?
>>54124“I’m not sure I understand. To close to Tracy you mean?”
>>54124It only improves the game m8. I have a resource if you care.
>>54122"Unfortunately the (((parasites))) clansmen that was in other countries convinced the goy population to fight their brothers in Germany, and they committed atrocities to the german people."
>>54125Where swords are the main weapons and where guns, while present, are pretty limited in rate of fire or ammo
>>54126Trumpaladin now realizes the situation is more complex than he thought. "I meant Slovenia, the lovely carpenter. Or Regina, her true name"
>>54128“Ah, I see now. Look, I’m just going to get help. I like to be alone in the woods, I’m not after any ladies.”
>>54127Wow, the people should have exterminated the parasites before the problem got out of hand, huh?
>>54129"I see. Carry on then. I don't think she's as woodsie as the blue one has made her out to be though. Since I've been with her she's been either working in factories or with my guard operating artillery. I don't believe she goes out in the woods herself. But some of the men at the mill do. We had to rescue them from trolls once"
>>54129"Actually, come to think of it, I think I know the
perfect person for you. Someone who also spends most of her time in the woods and knows the creatures well. Who has a special connection with them.
She could tell you everything you want to know. You'll have to find her first. And she's a horse, like you"
>>54130"Yea your right. They should have. They kicked them out 109 times in history, the only way to fix the problem is exterminating them all"
>>54131“I definitely didn’t mean for it to sound like I was planning to hit on her. Sorry about that. I will keep that in mind and ask her about these foresters.”
>>54132“And this pony is around this area?”
Where are the characters atm?
>>54134"We don't know where she is at the moment. She was scared off it seemed after a conflict a party member. The last we knew of her she was prancing through thick forest - hard to say where. I do know there is a grove that at least used to be her central location"
>>54135Talking to each other while GM is busy
>>54135Mine is with yours of course, but I think theirs are on a airship, if I remember correctly.
>>54137I had Tracy leave off to the forest to investigate the disappearances, I figured yours was on his way to Sparta.
>>54139We could just say they are ready to do whatever and thus are away from each other, but it's a lot more fun and productive to have the characters talk to each other since we can't investigate or approach sparta or what have you while GM is busy
>>54141Yeah, but I'd like to know who's present, because my character may behave differently around others.
>>54142Uh... well, in that case, I think Stix, Infernius, Trumpaladin, and Tracy are together
>>54143He's not going to Sparta?
>>54145Tracy is going into the woods to put a knife through something. She let Stix tag along, because she said he was a huntsman, but she wouldn't force him if he stayed back at the tower.
Either way, it's getting pretty late, so Tracy's faggot might just turn in.
>>54146>>54092Yeah, Stix is with Tracy.
And goodnight.
>>54143>>54147Gm fell asleep i bet.
>>54148I believe so too.
>>54068 was one of the last ones he posted.
>>54149Does Stix have a response to Trumpaladin's statement in
>>54137 or does he just leave it at that?
>>54150Sorry, must have missed that one.
>>54137I would definitely like to know where is grove is, and if you want to talk about it, the fight that happened.
>>54151"The grove where she used to stay was over in that direction" Trumpaladin points into the forest that is near the tower in a specific direction.
Please assume for the sake of the scene that the characters happened to meet each other at the one ground level exit/entrance to the tower as Stix and Tracy were heading to the mill, Torcuil and Trumpaladin are heading outside to the airship, while infernius is back"It's a grove over there, a meadow, with a small stream and a large tree. It will be charred in many places. In fact, tracking the fire damage may be the simplest way to distinguish it. I do not know if she will be there or if she is elsewhere. I can say for sure that she doesn't come out out for everyone. She may though for you.
She is a Celestial Charger, a celestial Unicorn gaurdian of the forest. Very powerful.
Very Beautiful. She has two proclivities that dominate her behavior. To ease the suffering of other beings, whatever they may be. And to sow the seeds of discord and enjoy the show. It was when she was satisfying her lust for choas that she made the mistake of humiliating our Tracy Cage. And Tracy went after her for it. She tried several times to kill her, although all she got for it was more embarrassment. The unicorn guardian got away. She is called... Trollestia. She also managed to piss off Torcuil, even though she took a liking to the magician"
\r
>>54153“Very interesting. I will definitely check that out when I come back. She seems like a paradox. She wants to help others, yet cause strife. Can’t wait to see how that goes.”
>>54155"Yeah, I noticed. 'Choatic Good.' Humpf! Hasn't worked out terribly well for myself or Tracy. Torcuil could have had a better time as well"
>>54156“If she hasn’t been much help to you guys, how do you think I will fair with her?”
>>54157"She is the physical incarnation of the adage "be careful what you wish for." Approach her only with good intentions, appeal to her sense of compassion, and you will do well. She helped me to find a pony secluded in the forest before. But be careful of what you approach her for. She just might give you
exactly what you asked.
There are none who know at least this forest better though, that I can tell you. A superb tracker and child of nature - a wild spirit"
>>54158“Plan out what I say and do and only for good, got it.”
>>54159"Also, don't murder innocent NPCs before going to her. Don't try to assassinate her sneakily. And if you want to use her to home-invasion-rob someone be thoughtful of how those people might respond to being robbed. And for the love of God,
don't try to have sex with her. Because if you do those things, you're gonna have a bad time. Or a good time, followed by the logical consequences of your actions."
>>54160“Don’t worry, plus I will ask for advice from the others if you think they will be willing to give some.”
>>54161"From the others? Do you mean party members? Tracy certainly isn't over her grudge against Trollestia. She'll try to kill her" *laughs* "Good luck to her on that"
>>54162“But besides all that, you think Trollestia will come out for me? Why is that? What makes me special?”
>>54153>>54156>>54158>>54160>>54162He's not saying this while Tracy's around, right?
>>54163"Well, you aren't going to her with the intention to kill her or burn her grove down until she comes out - I think. That makes you a more desirable appointment to keep than her last visitor to the grove. I guess the two of you like animals and like the forest. You like doing good and keeping evil at bay. That will get you far. She took a definite liking to the mage... He just didn't like her back, after she embarrassed him one time, he was done with her. Not a wise decision I think. She has incredible levels of power and knowledge. Quality waifu material as well"
>>54164He's definitely stupid enough to say that stuff in her presence, but at least the later posts were sort of written under the assumption she had slipped away or moved further ahead or something. So I don't know
\r
>>54166“Not sure why I would want to hurt her. Maybe I will find out why later, but she seems nice enough. I just got to keep us both in control. What chance do you think I have in getting her help?”
>>54168Welcome back. Although, I’m not sure how much longer I can stay wake as well...
>>54167"Well, as I said before, her motivations are relieving the suffering of others, and sowing discord. If your request fulfills one or both of those, she'll grant it. If not, then she will not. I'm not sure about a request for Training. The mage wanted to be trained to be a ranger, but he never went through with it. Just don't try to seduce her or kill her as soon as you see her and you'll do better than we did."
>>54170“Alright. I will see what I can do when I get back.”
>>54168I head to the airship.
>>54171So Styx is heading out to meet Trollestia?
>>54172Thez is there, groggily stretching and having just woke up from a nap.
>>54168And Trumpaladin is on his way to Sparintenar in the airship, along with the Generals, Fae, and all of the Spartan Auxilaries
>>54174Thez wonders how she managed to sleep through all these people coming on board without waking up. Does that mean that they left Infernius behind, or did he go with them?
>>54173"Thez hurry up we leaveing for gnome city."
>>54174Hold on faggot
>>54175I guess it's everyone there except for Tracy and Stix. Thez should probably stay in town though
>>54177Yea
"Thez please watch town and ready men in case anything happens"
>>54179*infernuis leans in*
we'll cuddle all night when we get back.
At what point was Brad talking to Stix about all that? Tracy's reactions may depend on the circumstances.
Also, I just figured out that Infernius could probably be polymorphed permanently if he wanted moar Str and less Int. With Polymorph Any Object, less-drastic changes are permanent, especially since a Minotaur has less Int than a half-orc, and Infernius already looks like a Minotaur.
>>53967*suppressed urge to write-up autistic backstory for Mr. Bones*
>>54184>>54185Mr. Bones, previously, was a lvl 36 Demilich Bard, and the leader of the Undead Death Metal Band,
Los Huesos Vibrantes for 666 years. In his time, he was infamous for his terrific skill in Sonic and fear-based magick, especially with his Greater Doot. He was summoned (illegally) across the extra-dimensional border from from the realm of the dead by a powerful Thaumaturgist in the Imperial Court City in the last attack on the Port, and would've made a significant difference in the last battle by inspiring all of the skeleton into dance,
had he not rolled a fucking 1 in his Perform check at the start of the battle. As he was preparing to annihilate the entire stadium at once with a maximized Sympathetic Vibration, his Horn of blasting exploded, causing him to lose all of his magick gems, and thus his power and memories. He was reduced to a mindless skeleton, and wandered the back alleys of Port Barry, until Tracy found him and took him home on a whim. To this day, he haunts the tower as a humble butler and housekeeper. He cannot speak, he can only doot.
Just made that up on the fly. I know it's kind of corny.
>>54184 I would like to see that >>54173Stix will head out once Tracy is finished showing him around this mill.
>>54186*mind blown*
That is an amazing legend. One for the ages. I would see that in theaters.
Now I need to come up with my character’s backstory.
>>54173I thought Trollestia wasn't in the region anymore? Is she still around?
>>54189He claims she appears to those she seems worthy that enter some grove. That’s how it was explained it at least.
>>54153
>>54190>she appears to those she seems worthy that enter some groveMetafaggotry:
Nonsense. The only one who's ever met her there is Tracy.Tracy's been staking out the grove for weeks in case the white cunt came back. She was even going to open a monster ranch there.Tracy hasn't said any of that though, she would've been relatively silent as she walked towards the mill, looking for signs of trouble.
>>54153Did Brad say all this before or after they left? Tracy wouldn't have waited for them to finish talking before she went off on her own.
>>54191Well if she didn't want to listen to any of it then I guess she didn't hear it
>>54192What I'm asking is: did Stix stay there to talk to Brad, or did he go off with Tracy? I'm confused as to where the characters are atm.
>>54193I’m confused as well. I know I did talk to him, so if you were to continue without me, I would have been left behind.
>>54194I had Tracy start speaking after she left, so I'm confused as to what she would've said too...
Well, either way, Tracy would've gone off to the general area around the mill to investigate the rumor she heard earlier that week. It shouldn't have taken her that long to reach the mill at her speed.
Do I roll Gather Information, or Search to investigate further?
>>54153I'm confused, when did Brad start speaking here?
>>54196I know basically nothing about D&D, but gather info sounds like reading information or interrogation. Search sounds like gathering clues or finding something that isn’t obvious.
>>54196I'd do gather information to talk to the foreman first, then Slovenia, then minor NPCs,
and then do a search check inside and outside, unless their information leads her to investigate elsewhere>>54198When Infernius decided to ignore the distance that separated the characters... So yeah, I am not sure. Just respond to it how you want to
>>54199Gather Information is essentially asking around town. Search is looking for clues.
Survival is used for Tracking.
>>54200Well did he take the time to speak with Stix or did he not, because that'll affect how Tracy responded.
>>54202And where? Was he on the airship?
What spell do you use to craft a weapon of Sharpness? I want one.
>>54191I want to help you open the monster ranch ill give some men to assit when i can spare them.
>>54205I was thinking of using Tracy's (potential) followers to manage the ranch. He could help with it if he wanted to, I guess.
I want to raise big things.
I guess I will attempt to fix the situation of the fractured placement of Stix by asking Trumpaladin the way to the mill. Mabye we can get back on track that way.
>>54170“So, Tracy said there was this mill. Can you point me in the right direction?”
>>54206I want to raise a giant yellow eye.
>>54207"The mills is that way, down the dirt path. A bit east of town. The foreman is named Alan and the unicorn Tracy told you of earlier is named Slovenia"
>>54209“Thank you sir. I best not keep them waiting any longer. Best of luck while I’m gone.”
So, how long would Tracy have been there before Stix found his way there? I'm trying to set the scene.
>>54209Tracy only mentioned Slovenia after she started walking towards the mill.
>>54211I would guess the description of the basic backstory of Trollestia and a brief summary of her exploits would take around fifteen minutes to explain, maybe. That would be my guess. Then tack on travel time.
>>54213I'm only wondering, because his delay would've given Tracy several actions worth of time to investigate before he found his way there.
I guess we could just wait for GM.
I'll be able to play about 7 est. In the meantime the party can take the arship to visit the Spartans and then the Gnomes if they'd like
>>54215Torc was driving, so you wouldn't need to be there for him to drop off the others on his way to the city.
>>54215It never fails. I always come on right as someone has left or is leaving
>>54217Captain on the bridge! Welcome back.
>>54219You have dabbed so hard, you get a dead normie meme to celebrate your accomplishment!
don’t tell anyone I still get a laugh out of it, please
Alright, so Infernius, Torcuil, Trump, the Generals, the Spartans, the Kitchen Sink, and everyone EXCEPT Tracy, Styx, and Thez are all off on a grand and merry adventure to speak to both Baz and the rest of Sparintenar, and Krenshall (blah-blah-blah) the Gnomish city.
Meanwhile Tracy attempts to find clues to possible situation going on in the Port, and Styx is gathering info at the mill(?)
[1d20+23 = 40]>>54222Rolling to Gather Information further.
>>54222“I was separated from Tracy and had just started to head to the mill. Thus Tracy gets some turns before I show up.”
>>54223Tracy finds a severed hand near one of the machines of the mill.
[1d20+21 = 33]>>54225>Not drying the hand and adding it to your collection"What a waste."
Tracy puts on a look of sleight disgust, and inspects further too see if the hand is freshly cut or older.
She then pockets the hand, and puts her nose to the ground to investigate for further clues (blood, footprints, anything that shows signs of activity).
Search check
>>54226The hand is actually a costume prop, apparently a practical joke and inauthentic.
>>54227"Awww..."
Tracy is visibly disappointed, and continues looking around the area.
>>54186None of the party members would be able to know this though. He's just a skeleton to this day.
>>54221Thank you my friend.
>>54230How long would you suppose it would take Stix to arrive at the mill at this point?
>>54231Any time
>>54232Idk anymore, desu...
"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do with the drunken sailor?
What shall we do witht the drunken sailor,
Early in the morning?"
>>54232It wouldn't take that long
>>54233Tracy isn't finding anything around the mill. No new information is available, but neither has the missing person been seen.
>>54234"Throw him off the airship"
>>54235Alright, then I should arrive at the mill about now and meet up with Tracy.
“Hey there. Sorry I’m late.”
>>54234"Uh.... Put him in a bed with the captain's daughter??"
>>54235Tracy's interest begins to waiver as she finds that there's nothing to be stabbed. She wanders for a little bit before she considers turning back.
Is there anyone at the mill at the moment?
>>54236"Remind me to teach you shanties later"
>>54238"Eh, that'll work"
>continues singing shanties
>>54234I cant stop listening to this song now. It’s so catchy!
>>54238Yeah, to punish the drunk sailor. The captain would be pissed.
>>54239Yes, there is a complete idiot with no ability to regulate the volume of his voice. His name is Jerry, feel free to chat with him.
>>54242I take it this is another 'Barry's face' situation?
>>54242"'Sup?" Tracy asks out of boredom, hoping she won't regret asking
[1d20 = 4]>>54243I haven't decided yet.
>>54244"Hey there, what's up?" he says, leaning expertly on his broom.
>>54245"'Nothin' really. I just heard some rumors about people disappearing around here. I figured I'd check to see if anyone was poaching my- I mean - disturbing the peace." Tracy says, with a slight stutter
>>54246"You know, a work song?"
>>54221WOAH
>>54247"Oh yeah! Eric hasn't been here for like 5 days now! I MEAN NORMALLY HE'S CONSISTENT AND RELIABLE, but I don't know. Maybe he got caught up, YOU KNOW? RIGHT?" He laughs excessively at his own humorless comment.
>>54249>INB4 it's Eric's hand
>>54249Tracy's ears flatten against her head momentarily at the outburst, but she still appears interested
"..So.. This Eric guy, where was he last seen?"
>>54251>inb4 I'm a fucking idiot>>54252No, but I like it
>>54253Jerry proceeds to supply all kinds of excessive details and anecdotes about people who Tracy has no idea of. First its Cody, then its Austin, then its Jose, then its not that Jose, its the other Jose,....
After about a 5 minute - and very loud - exploration of every little detail Jerry could think of, Tracy realizes that he has told her absolutely nothing of value, but without realizing it. He seems quite pleased.
>>54248"Sounds like negros be good at that."
>>54256"Nah, mainly merchants. I don't know if the negros had any well known work songs..."
It wouldn't a massive fucking pointless argument if Tracy killed Jerry, will it? That's what she'd normally be inclined to do.
Tracy's eye twitches with irritation for a moment, as she considers putting a knife through Jerry before leaving, but then stops realizing that that would make it even more complicated to search for a missing person.
"Bye." Tracy says flatly, as she walks out of the mill in a huff.
>>54258What race is jerry?
>>54257"Are the (((merchants))) or merchants hou are talking about?"
>>54259By all appearances and indication, he's a white guy
>>54259"Good merchants. The kinds with the big ass boats, and not big ass noses. Think Pirates with less stealing"
>>54258Why didn't you ask Slovenia or Alan? They actually know shit and aren't annoying
Tracy goes back towards the tower to check out her ogre corpse.
>>54019Can she check out that item?
>>54262Well, I assumed neither were there, since they weren't listed when Tracy looked around.
>>54263Normally Alan will ask "who the fuck are you, why are you here, and what do you want" any time you near the mill. Probably worth asking where the guy lived or frequented, since that could get to the next location for clues
>>54264Tracy does that before she leaves then.
>>54265 now is as good a time as any to get there, right? Stix wanders inside the mill.
>>54266Yeah, sure. It'd be easy enough to get there.
So what is it? Did she leave after talking to Jerry? Is she sticking around to find
Adam?
>>54266What is Styx looking for in particular?
>>54269Tracy would've looked to see if there was anyone else worth talking to before she left.
>>54267“So, how goes it?”
Slowly takes in the surroundings.
>>54269Tracy told Stix to look for the carpenter here to learn more skills, such as crafting.
>>54271"Haven't found very much so far.." Tracy says as she steps away from the talkative hoo-man
>>54272Stares at the human a bit and says to him:
“And you don’t know anything?”
>>54273Jerry very loudly says the exact things he told Tracy, which was all of nothing (unless you count anecdotes about the one time they attended a festival a few years back, and other useless facts), proving that no he does not know anything. Its not that he doesn't know anything, its that he has no filter and he doesn't realize that all the information he offers is irrelevant and inconsequential.
>>54274Is Tracy able to find Adam?
>>54275"No, its the weekend. He'll probably be at the Rusty Duck."
>>54276Tracy peeks around to see if Slovenia is there.
>>54274“Well, tell Austin that he needs to take a break now and then. He is going to overwork himself at this rate.”
>>54279Pretending to have actually listened
>>54277Turns to Tracy
“So, do we check out this Rusty... Duck was it? What kind of name is that?”
[1d100 = 27]>>54280Got it
>>54277Slovenia seems to have taken the trebuchet out for some target practice.
Also, the item Tracy got was an Oil, wrapped in a piece of leather hide to prevent breaking. It was obviously too small for a Ogre to use.
>>54281"Let me see how Woody's doing first. It's been a while since we've spoke."
>>54282Tracy heads towards the testing grounds, or wherever it is Slovenia does her target practice.
>>54284Waves goodbye to Jerry and follow Tracy, curious to meet this carpenter.
Alright, enough of that divegrass nonsense.
>>54284>>54285Just outside the wall around the Mill is the testing area, where Slovenia briskly gives direction to two of the Fight Club survivors. Tracy and Styx arrive just as a boulder explodes against a large rock outcropping a fair distance down the field.
>>54268"Well imagine capitalist pirates. Instead of stealing they buy and sell stuff depending on where it's needed."
>>54286"'Sup, Woody." Tracy says, turning to watch the dust settle in the distance
"Machinery working well?"
>>54286Studies the device that launched a rock and wonders how come he didn’t think to try making one, it seems possible to be made out of found materials in the forest.
>>54287"That's just taking advantage of arbitrage"
>>54290"You're sounding like a commie right about now."
>>54287This is your fault you know
https://youtu.be/i8ju_10NkGY>>54288"Oh, Tracy! TRACY!" she runs up and hugs Tracy. "This device is
wonderful! I've never seen anything like it, but its so remarkably simple. And watch!" she says as a humanoid figure made out of watermelons is placed in the target area. The Watermelons have "Will" written on the torso. Just as she's about to launch, she stops and looks at Tracy. "You try," she offers, with an enthusiastic look on her face.
>>54292"With pleasure." Tracy says, grinning as she takes a moment to inspect the device and see how the controls work
>>54292"This guy right here is named Stix. He just arrived at the tower."
>>54292>implying I don't like that songhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zxFuMawrDc>>54292>>54282>trebuchet>SUPERIOR SIEGE WEAPONRY
>>54293Tracy launches the trebuchet.
>>54295 the best form of cancer >>53728>cancerousAgain, OP is physic
>>54295https://youtu.be/DoBwoaWmQHw>>54296With a loud <WHUDDDDD> the mechanism releases, sending the boulder soaring high overhead,... eventually coming down and absolutely obliterating the target dummy in question.
"I... imagine if that was a person," Slovenia says with a wistful look in her eyes. "Oh I'm sorry, please forgive me. Stix is it (is it with an I or a Y?)? It is good to meet you. I'm frequently called Slovenia, but the millers have taken to call me 'the saw horse'," she says with a bit of pride.
>>54298Trebuchet memes are the best memes.
>>54297We've always been cancerous m8
example
>>54297>psychicYou have no idea
>>54301Ah, the flag shenanigens. We should do that again one of these days.
>>54299>the saw horseTOPKEK
She looks like a recolored Fleur-de-lis btw, with bits of sawdust in her mane.
>>54299What is this weeb ass shit?
>>54303Reeeee! GM said she also has the pink hair.
>>54304LOL
That is /jp/'s goal horn. Its epic troll-worthy
>>54302I get extra autistic when my flag gets changed desu.. Like with those Schulz shenanigans.. That's actually why I never bothered with a custom flag.
Sounds like a lot of fun.
>>54299 Stix with an I “It’s a pleasure to meet you. I was told you are the best carpenter all around and know about the forest area. I figure your the one to talk to in order to get used to the land.”
>>54305Nah, then she'd look just like Fleur-de-lis. No fun having an exact clone as a character.
>>54299I can't believe I watched that whole video..
>>54307I stopped using a custom cuz A. I lose it anyway anytime I reset my browser, and B. Cuz if I ever need to distinguish myself in thread I can just blow someone up or something.
The weird thing is I feel more compelled to post when I have a custom flag. Weird. Oh well, if I ever feel like being a nuisance I'll get another one. ^_^
>>54308"Well its no wonder, these humans have never worked with Unicorn magic before. Speaking of which, are you,... also from Equestria?"
>>54309Well she's obviously unique in personality. What does it matter if she has a nice fitting mane color rather than something ugly?
>>54310“Yes. Though, I don’t seem to remember too much of it at the moment. I bet it has something to do with coming here in the manner I did.”
>>54311I prefer the blue mane and amber eyes.
>>54312"I see. Was your arrival,... adverse? Mine was. I did not find my way into the company of Tracy and her allies until a long while had passed. You're fortunate to have arrived here rightly,... this world is not like Equestria," she says, recalling undesirable treatment.
>>54314“I wish I could remember, but I am told I died to arrive here. I suppose that is correct, however, all I remember is working for a client by clearing out some land of magical creatures.”
Steps a little closer to the device
“Very nice contraption, what do you call it?”
>>54316"Its a Trebuchet. The skinny, nerdy-looking guy came up with the design. That reminds me!" she <BANG> teleports away. Not long afterward she <BANG> teleports back holding a heavily scribbled-on piece of graphing paper. "Hive viss dho himmm," she says, offering Tracy the piece of paper. "Since the Trebuchet doesn't involve gunpowder or an impact force to launch, it should be possible to make explosive shots!"
>>54317“Very interesting. I can’t say I’m the best engineer, but I do like to build with wood.”
Draws on the dirt with his hoof to better picture how the parts go together
“Explosive shots you say? Got a lot of problems that need such ammunition?”
>>54317Tracy accepts the piece of paper and reads it.
"I heard Eric went missing recently. Was wondering if there was anything dangerous crawling around these parts."
>>54317>The skinny, nerdy-looking guy came up with the design.Oh...
>>54318She looks at Stix for a moment, clearly drawing conclusions in her head about the degree of explanation he's had so far. "Yes," she says, like that is an understatement. "I'll show you the blue-prints if you like."
>>54319"I had heard. I almost didn't notice he was missing. He's one of my favorite people when he's not around. Hopefully he makes a habit of it," she says dismissively.
>>54322“If you don’t mind me seeing them, I would love to. I can’t wait to see what kinds of other ways I could build a machine like this.”
>>54322Tracy, like the mare she is, seems to lose all interest in Eric after realizing he wasn't going to be missed by anyone.
"Alright then, just checking-in to see if anyone was poaching hoo-man resources." She says, turning to leave, remembering she still had shabby's body in her sack
"I had some business back at the tower, I hope you wouldn't mind if I left this blue guy with you for a bit?"
>>54324"Poaching? Not that I know of, but I'll let you know if I hear anything. That's fine, I'm glad you stopped by. Let me know what Torcuil thinks of the designs," she says with an eager smile.
Fucking lightning.
>>54325"Sure, I'll let him know." Tracy says, as she trots off towards the tower.
>>54320At least she mentioned Torcuil...
>>54325>eager smileShould I be scared?
>>54328“Although you don’t miss your worker, your still down one, correct? Need any help around this place?”
>>54330REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>54331"I wouldn't say we're one down necessarily. Alot of these faggots have gotten used to overly spreading out the workload. TBH, its more of a blessing than anything."
>>54329Exploding Trebuchet Shots
>>54333Can i roll to come up with a concept?
>>54333God I wish my character were there
>>54334Please stop that shit
>>54334Sure. Rolls for ingenuity will receive penalties or bonuses depending on how familiar the character is with the subject matter.
>>54335Im helping with us with it,pal
>>54333 checked “Well, if you need me to do anything, just ask.”
Turns attention to the forest
“And mind if I check out your forest?”
[1d20 = 5]>>54336Machinery
>we industrious now
>>54338First of all, fuck you second of all hoe?
>>54335There's more than one design too. Figuring out the best configuration will require extensive testing, and will likely produce different types of ordinance depending on the need.
She really didn't appreciate the trebuchet failing to dent the Octahedron.
>>54339"Oh yes, that. Here," she leads him over to an oversized map located near the entrance to the mill.
"The thin traced line is the forest-area that our crews primarily operate. With the exception of one incident with some trolls, we've found this area to be particularly safe."
>>54343>5That's how Xp
[1d20+13 = 33]>>54340Leave this to the professionals.
Rolling to try and understand the basics of how the airship works.
>>54333Nice
>>54345>pali>nat 20This pleases me
>>54345e_e
~_~'
Okay. Torcuil understands the basics of how the airship works.
>>54348And that is?
And I don't mean "It flies and shit"
Upon returning to the tower, Tracy puts Shabby's stuff in a burlap sack, and ties up his body in a comfy chair at the entertron.
Then she revives him.
>>54350Is that gonna be our first domesticated monster?
>>54344“Alright. I don’t suppose there is anything I could keep a look out for to justify my trip in there?”
>>54344Oh no, that's not why I wish my character were there
>>54349Sigh. It works primarily off the properties of the float-stone, which is the part that looks like a balloon but is lumpy and not balloon-shaped, heavily layered with water/weather/damage-eliminating protection. The stone has a particular degree of weight that it counteracts. The wheel operates a series of wind-rudders, and the levers manipulate a series of counter-balances, which allow the ship to elevate or descend, while a pair of modified and exquisite Wind Fans control the propulsion.
>>54350Oh boy.
>>54352"Not that I know of. There was a dragon some time ago, but we're friends now and she relocated. You should be fine," she says.
[1d20 = 18]>>54336Rolling to develop Thousand-Swords Bulwark Martial Discipline.
>>54354Ayy that's exactly what I fucking wanted.
[1d20 = 11]
Rolling to develop new rule against "rolling to develop" cancer
>>54358Hey, mine was an engineering check
>>54356It's a maneuver: she and her allies gain the benefit of flanking for one round when an attack misses here.
>>54360So its essentially a counter-buff technique.
>>54354“I’m both relieved and disappointed.”
Chuckles a little
“I’m off to this... ælveheim, if I’m reading this map right.”
Lines up the map and checks the position of the sun
Heads off into the forest
>>54361Yes. When an enemy misses her, she strikes at the openings.
>>54361It's free sneak attack every time an opponent fails to land an attack
>>54359You're fine
>>54358Help! Im being oppressed!
>>54360Pardon. It's actually a stance.
>>54364>freeIt's a swift action to assume the stance.
>>54366It's free sneak attack during normal battle just cause something you'd expect to happen happens
>>54365Call this number if you feel like it is just too much.
1800 923-4357
It will be worth your while
I’m kidding
>>54362Don't put
too much stock in the names, especially general geography names, but I get where you're indicating.
>>54366The stance makes sense, I just don't get why allies get flanking also
>>54371So, how does travel work when I’m wander into a strange place?
>>54372Generally I roll a few dice, check a few tables, and come up with a side-story. The area is already cleared, so there won't be any tribes of Orcs or nothing, but I'd pretty much come up with a context that depending on how it is responded to will determine the adversity, rewards/benefits/swag, and potential plot devices for later reference. As evidenced by Tracy's encounter, they will be plausible scenarios that are happening simultaneously and largely independent of Stix' actions, with the potential for no contact at all (which gets stealth Exp).
*wishes he had gone on the investigation adventure*
>>54371Not sure, but in context of that maneuver set it's inferred that allies would have to be in adjacent or threatened squares.
>>54374You're the one who wanted the Spartan side tour
>>54354"Onion?" Tracy offers, to the bound ogre.
>>54376Yeah, but I was expecting the others to do a better job of it
>>54375I'll tell you what. I checked that 18, so I won't allow her to learn
that specific stance, but I will allow her to learn something like it but not yet.
>>54377Oh yes. That. I get to role-play an ogre now. Oh wait, Tracy doesn't speak Giant-kin.
>>54378To be fair, airship trips are usually boring
"HOW'D YOU GET A ROYAL FLUSH? WE'RE PLAYING GO FISH"
>smug hiss
[1d20+21 = 37]>>54379Ogres understand onions.
*gives onion*
Bluff check, to communicate simple message of "Onion?"
>>54381Wait, fucked that up. Can't use bluff that way it seems.
>>54381He's tied to the chair. And he's large size. An onion is kind of like a marble to him.
>>54383Tracy cuts the ogre loose because her faggot is feeling reckless.
She decides to have hunch.
>>54373Takes in the scenery and takes a deep breath
“This place may be some kind of purgatory, but it still looks nice.”
Continues to roam forward
>>54383Alright, let's get into this.
The airship flies low, and with great displays of the Trump coat of arms (a Dragonne carrying a Football of course) on the ship, so as to distinguish it from whoever the hell originally owned the Ship. Trumpaladin has the Spartans wave down gate keepers upon their arrival within range of the city
>>54387>>54386Unless Trump can stay for long enough to have lunch with pony
>>54388They've already left
>>54388Seriously?
>>54384Seriously.
>>54385The initial landscape of the forest is moderately dense sections of thin trees, about 6" in diameter and 4' apart or less. There is an apparent foot path, but a number of animal trails as well, including what almost appear to be a trail of some sort of disorganized group of tiny feet.
>>54390Alright, what hath the Spartan Auxiliaries to say in approach to the city?
>>54390She relaxes and eats her lunch of ambiguous meat-stuffs, and sends shabby off with a bag of onions in his hand, unless he'd rather sit and eat with her.
>>54390Shrugs at the sight of tiny footprints
“Might as well follow this a bit.”
Keeps a look out for animals that may have caused this trail.
>>54393Before we continue, how experienced of a ranger is Stix? He has a dagger as I recall, any other weapons? We're getting to the part where that will be determined for certain.
>>54392Are you trolling me?
>>54394Well, I kind of just like the image of Tracy sitting back and eating lunch with an ogre. Same reason I had her revive the Fire Giants.
>>54394He also has a bow, but as you can imagine, it is not the easiest weapon for an earth pony to use. He mainly focuses on stealth to avoid direct encounters until a trap is set for his enemy.
>>54394Tracy gave him a double-ended bane shortsword when they met. It's for animals and magical beasts.
>>54396But I’m unfamiliar with D&D mechanics, do not sure how to describe the experience. He has been in the woods a lot, but never fought more than some tough magical creatures before.
>>54397Oh right, forgot about that.
>>54398So not sure*
My autocorrect fails me!
>>54395>Fire GiantsI forgot about those. Ogres act differently under these circumstances than Fire Giants. The ogre snarls and grabs the end of the bag like an exceptionally crude flail.
>>54397wut?
>>54396K, I'm thinking 6th level then
>>54398As a Ranger, you can choose a combat style. You can choose better range combat, or specialized two-weapon fighting.
The double-weapon can count as two weapons on either end, so he could use it while we figure out what his preferred combat style is.
>inb4 Tracy is beaten with a sack of onions
>>54400She did back at the stables.
She made it in case daddybird needed a little extra "convincing", and the other end was in case she ever saw troll again.
>>54402Ogres have layers.
>>54401Okay, seriously. Why did you not continue the investigation?
>>54405Mostly, because I thought that Tracy wouldn't really care what happened to some guy named Eric if nobody missed him. She mostly just went because she felt like seeing Slovenia.
[1d20 = 13]>>54405Because there were no leads, just contacts and interactions.
>>54404Ogre has a bag of layers. Roll for initiative.
"No Snek, you can't move your rook there. It's my turn anyway"
>>54402That's a beautiful mental image
>>54404Parfaits have layers, everybody likes parfaits.
[1d20+4 = 5]>>54407Rollin'
>>54409>fumble on initiativeI'm not sure how to respond to that
>>54410It was at this moment Tracy knew,
she fucked up
>>54413Not any that a mare like Tracy would bother pursuing.
Fucking around with ogres and whatnot is more interesting to her.
>>54415Great. Just have her communicate everything to someone who
would bother pursuing
[1d20 = 18]>>54413??
>>54412I kinda want to give shabby an automatic hit for that. Let's see.
Oh, Tracy takes a bag of onions to the face. >_<
>>54417>layers to the face
>>54420Layers upon layers of pain
>>54418[layered pony noises]
Tracy makes an "Ooof!" noise as the bag of layers smacks her where it hurts.
[1d6 = 1][2d8 = 12]>>54420>>54421>GM glances up from his books, determining the damage for Layers as an improvised Heavy Flail, and sees this>2 minutes later he stops laughing
[1d20 = 16]
And Tracy is whonked for a total of 18 layers of damage in the face. Alright, first round, the ogre is doing a full round attack with the layers, so 3 attacks. Just kidding, its only one attack.
>>54423Is it bad I'm still chuckling at my own stupid joke?
I'm pretty sure Tracy's AC is 21 or more, so I think that was a miss.
>>54426 Not as bad as me looking up more roblox death noise memes... am I a lost cause?
>>54426No, it's hilarious
>>54427Tracy narrowly avoids the bag of layers and readies herself Dodge Shabby.
She draws a dagger from her quiver
Rolling to sunder bag of high-quality, organic, locally-grown layers.
She can't use that stance yet, can she?
And so it came to pass we wuz Mormons n sheeit that Tracy was beaten upside the face with a bag full of layers. And the dice saw that it was good.
[1d20 = 12]>>54429forgot to roll
>>54429That lands. The bag tears open, spilling layers all over the ground. The ogre looks at the shrivelled bag and creams in rage.
>>54428Nah, at least you don't watch Behind the Meme
>>54432>creamsI don't think that's what you meant
>>54432Tracy shrugs at the sound.
"You shouldn't be playing with your food, big guy."
[1d20 = 13]>>54434kek, no
>>54435He's swinging an oversized fist
... and misses. Tracy still has dagger in hand, and its her move.
>>54437Cut up his precious onions.
His relations through layers will make him cry even more
>>54436Tracy flips on her Eyes of Doom on and uses their effect to casts Doom (DC 11) and she herself casts Cause Fear, on the ogre who is seemingly ignorant of the nutritious qualities of onions.
>>54438*cuts an onion*
>Still can't get over all the missed opportunities earlier
>>54439DC for her Cause Fear is 10, although all of her enemies take a -2 penalty on all saving throws 'cuz Aura of Despair
[scary pony noises]
[1d20+1 = 6]>>54439Especially raw onions.
Okay, the Death Gaze is a standard action, as is the fear effect, so only 1/round. Rolling to see if he died
>>54444>dem quads... I wan't meaninh to kill him.
>Death GazeI was using Doom: Causes enemy to become shaken...
Do the eyes of Doom have a Death Gaze Effect?
>>54444Quad of fours, Shabby is gone, but not from our hearts!
>>54446Oh, whoops, I was thinking Finger of Death for some reason.
Shabby is not kill, he's just hella shaken, cuz for a moment he really thought he was kill
>>54447We are gathered in the sight of God, to mourn the
second passing of Sir Shabby.
He was a good ogre, with plenty of layers. And he died as he lived, surrounded by onions.
F
>>54449Oh well, it would have been a good funeral...
>>54448That was close... you got to stop giving Shabby the finger, man...
Trumpaladin's faggot screams internally
>>54448Tracy looks Shabby dead in the eye, and pushes to him object with an ungodly look that passes beyond cultural borders
>'Eat the fucking onion!'
>>54451You chose to ride the airship. You can take some boredom.
>>54453I like how the Arcane Sight would make her eyes glow slightly.
>>54455Double dubs speak the truth
But speaking of boredom, Stix is stuck wandering a forest with no idea if he has made it to his destination. Will this be the last of poor Stix?
>>54452Do I need to roll an intimidate check to make shabby eat the onions?
>>54457>Arcane SightStop pulling more shit out of your ass
>>54460It was one of the permanent spells she asked Torc to put on her.
Snek looks very smug as Torc flips a table. Fake paper money and cards fly everywhere, and some plastic houses hit Trump.
>>54458No, he started following a trail of gibberniggers. We'll get to that in a bit.
>>54452Ogre shakes his head fearfully
>>54461No, you don't just fucking have a thing because you think you asked for a permanent spell. You never asked for that, for one, it didn't happen, there'd be consequences, and GM never approved it
>>54464That sounds deadly to me.
>>54465I remember doing it
>>54467Well I sure as shit don't. When did that allegedly happen?
>>54466That's not what they're called, that's what we've taken to calling them. Besides, Stix is completely unaware of that tidbit, that was just a teaser to the other players
>>54468When I wanted to shed levels, but then decided against it...
wait...
[1d20+4 = 7]>>54464Sense motive check, to try to figure out why this ill-guided ogre doesn't understand the glory of onions.
>>54471Onions are love, onions are life
>>54470It's only 1000 XP.
>>54471He must be cepaphobic
>>54473And yet you still didn't get it
>>54473Get levels in cleric and make your god Onions>>54473Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I really want a bard level
>>54474*offers ogre-sized parfait*
Everyone like parfaits.
>>54477And yes, I'm serious.
>>54477He doesn't seem interested in the parfait.
>>54479Hates onions and parfaits? What kind of monster is this?
Meanwhile, Trump, Torcuil, and all assembled arrive at Sparintenar to a massive fanfare. The Sparintenar group retire to their respective squads n shit, while Trump and Torcuil (and Infernius?) are give proper rooms to rest and retire before a phatty banquet.
>>54479>doesn't like parfaitWell wtf does he like then?!
Tracy appears greatly frustrated, and decides to leave the ogre to his own devices as she resumes her lonely lunch. She returns to the table in the mess hall to finish her mystery-meat sandwich, alone, again.
>>54482Well shit. Glad to see he is popular. Are Renquist or Baz around?
>>54480Ikr
He's too pathetic to kill.
>>54482>banquety
I just wanna go learn gnomish engineering
>>54483As Tracy sadly makes her way, the ogre takes the opportunity to run flailing out of the Tower and ff to parts unknown.
I am sad for Tracy, but it wasn't going to happen. The thing had 6 Int
>>54486This is Sparintenar
>>54487Tracy summons a dire rat to eat with her.
>>54491
>both serial killers
I didn't know there was a competition.
>>54489Hey, where'd these feels come from?
>>54491"You didn't get told to "stay behind and watch the kids"
make sure nothing eats the port," Thez mutters to no-one in particular, re-entering the tower.
>>54495At least she got talked to...
Tracy decides to test out the goat figurines to see if one of them will eat lunch with her.
>>54497Only 2 remain. Torcuil took the one with the really long horns, and Thez took the wee one with little nub-horns. There's a large one with twisty horns, and a medium sized one with rams horns.
>>54498Did any of the Sparintenar soldiers have anything to say to Trumpaladin before entering the city?
[1d20+21 = 25]>>54498Use magick Device check, to figure out how to activate them.
>>54500That should be enough to activate blindly, iirc.
>>54502The one with the curly horns.
"So, a banquet? I thought you said I could just drop you off."
Snek slaps Torc for being a lil bitch
>>54503It has the word "Infuego" carved on the bottom
>>54505"Infuego!" Tracy says, hoping doll might respond to his name
>>54506At the speaking of its name, the statue crumbles, and instead a gaseous form coalesces, then shifts into a material form, and appears as a giant and ridiculously muscle-bound goat with steam drifting off of it.
https://youtu.be/Dp0Bt2cbcc8
>>54507Trumpaladin looks around for Baz or Rehnquist, and tells attendants so
>>54507>tfw you summon the baphomet, aka satanThis ought to go well...
>>54509I don't get it
>>54510Oh its not that bad, its just an ill-tempered nightmare-goat
>>54511>I don’t get itGoats are stereotyped in cartoons to eat tin cans
>>54511Goats chew on tin cans.
*offer head of lettuce as follow-up*
>>54511How do you not get it?
Does he appreciate the can, or is he like that autistic ogre who doesn't like parfait?
>>54515Fucking unappreciative ogres
>>54515Oh, he eats it. I don't get the meme, but he crunches the can up like cardboard.
>>54517M8 this is fucking pre-memes
>>54517Tracy puts on a look of satisfaction and gently pets the big goat on the head as she turns to the second figurine.
>>54519>Goats are allegedly indiscriminate eatersGoats will eat pretty much anything they can chew and swallow
>>54521She's not taking them, she's just eating lunch with them.
She chooses Infuego.
>>54521See you guys in 10 hours...
>>54521WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEB
>>54524See ya
>>54524>10 hoursDon't expect me until afternoon, and I'll be intermittently available
>>54525>>54526>>54527I was referring to the 10 hour video
>>54526You know it makes you giggle
>>54528Kek, I missed that one
>>54528>delayed kek>>54529I will admit, I do get a chuckle
https://youtu.be/eGslweDOihsOne of these days I'm gonna compile a 4chan's greatest hits playlist and force my coworkers to listen to it
>>54532Tracy activates the other goat and eats lunch with them.
>>54532>>54521I shall hold out indefinitely
>>54532I would die if you logged on one night and said that you did it
>>54533https://youtu.be/x6TCnh5B8-wAs Tracy activates the other statue, ambient music suddenly starts up. The Goat materializes very much like it appears in video, and behaves comparably, accompanied by the strange music.
>>54535My ninja-shitpost station is not complete yet
>>54536>ninja-shitpost station You
cannot say that and not explain
>>54536I SO WANT THIS GOAT!!!!
>>54537There's not too much to it. A burner "pay-as-you-go" internet phone account (card), a tethered laptop, and an extension cord running down under my machine. I gotta check fluid levels every 1/2 hour or so,....
>>54536Tracy, Impressed by his performance, offers the goat a tin can, and a parfait, which she also gives to Infuego.
What's this goat's name?
>>54539Huh
>>54541So creative
>>54541And that's a surprisingly fitting name given his actual abilities other than being loud and comically annoying
I feel so betrayed...
Hit right in the feels
>>54543How Stix has been doing: pic related
we don’t have to go back to him tonight if we are getting tired >>54544How so?
So as this night and session come to a tenative close (tenative, cuz its technically always ongoing), Stix is out wandering through various parts of the forest. He's actually well on his way to Trollestia's grove, but who knows where he'll end up? Tracy is playing with toys, except these toys become real-life goats, music accompanying one and ill temper the other.
Characters are free to act (limited to my ability to respond, since I know a stack of consequential actions will probably occur Xp)
>>54545I'll wait until I am actually proven right on this one>>54543Uh... I think Trumpaladin needs to talk to someone
>>54547I don't even understand your meaning.
Please note, play is not suspended, but this is the point where I really start shitposting, just so its known
>>54548I mean that he needs to speak with allies (Baz, in this case) about the geo-political situation, in order to inform them of what happened, learn how they can help, and also get a better understanding of what they are up against (because he still doesn't know anything about seven factions, who those pirates were, or anything but that kefka exists in the Court City with a bunch of undead)
Well, Tracy spends a few more mintues eating lunch with the two goats while her faggot attends to things.
>>54548>play not suspendedStix, clearly making no progress with the trail, sets up camp. He expertly weaves branches, leaves, and grass into a tent like structure.
He then builds a small fire and stares into it, desperately trying to recall his past.
he wouldn’t try so hard if he knew what he would remember
>>54549Ah, okay
>>54551Oh he was doing fine. Trouble is, theres miles of gibbernigger trails. Luckily, the easiest way to find them is to be out at night. ^_^
>>54552Ah, that’s nice... but I still don’t know what a gibbernigger is!
>>54552Unless of course,
Trump can investigate the disappearances
>>54295I'm only just getting to this,...
dude
>>54521I can't stop watching thing this video for some reason...
After lunch, Tracy goes off to the holodeck and practices her new stance.
>>54558I think I want to open a dojo nao.
Now that I think of it, it makes more sense for Tracy to be teaching martial disciplined to the followers of her 'cult' rather than any spooky religious undertones. Would actually contribute more to society too, since the teachings of her house could be passed down.
>>54561For two reasons, first, this is attempt 91001 for Tracy's faggot to try to get free sneak attack every single round. Because that's exactly what this is. This is "if an opponent fails to hit you in a round, you get flanking." Which is sneak attack. But obviously opponents are going to miss a substantial portion of the time. Hell, even a high level warrior type with a +12 +7 +2 is probably going to miss on one of three of those even if it's an insanely strong fighter. Or a huge dragon is going to miss with one of its six attacks. And boom! Free +100 damage in a round just cause he found a homebrew that say that
But also, why does his character get so much more time than ours? He gets to attack a wagon. And he gets to drive into the mountains. And he gets to Wait 30 minutes as ogres fight. And he gets to come back, and then be there for a new character, and then go on an investigation which he frustratingly cuts short. And
then he gets an ogre fight, and then a goat things scene. And then more training? Like how much more slowly does time pass for this character than for all of the others?
Infernius's character got what... Suit shopping? Mine got a brief conversation and a plane ride. Same with Torcuil.
>>54563There is always a spotlight hog anon, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get along.
And get creative. The reason we see so much of Tracy is because that character is more outgoing, more direct in approach. The character isn’t afraid of consequence, so goes into danger. This danger means more dedicated time to resolve those conflicts.
I get it, you want more time to role play. It seemed very lacking today, I will agree, but approach this calmly and we can figure something out.
>>54564>The characterIt's because the faggot is entirely dedicated to this while I was driving part of yesterday and out with a friend today, and then tonight GM focused more on him than the others
>>54563Okay. I appreciate your attention to detail, and hope we can resolve this civilly. Now please, put the gun down.
Seriously though I get where you're coming from, and such a thing would be a piece of cake for like, Thez
"Bah, that stance assumes your opponents are weak, I would never use it!" or others such. I did say it wouldn't be precisely that technique.
>>54565And I feel the GM is a bit biased for Tracy’s faggot as well, probably because the GM has a bit more fun with those scenarios. Look at what we are doing: I’m walking on a dirt road, and you were flying a ship. Now look at Tracy: running around, killing stuff, making goats.
Which would you choose? I won’t say it’s fair, but you got to understand where it is coming from.
Now, let’s think up a way to balance this problem. Maybe limit the turns a player can have in a row before it must be another player’s turn, no ifs ands or buts.
>>54565Thats true, I did. It seemed fitting since we all holed out for a week-ish in discord while he sat along without any word and discord fugging up instantly. So yeah, I let him take the lead a bit. It seemed fair and fitting in the long run.
>>54567Mostly I was jealous because I wanted to play out the investigation. Slovenia was just such a screamingly obvious suspect that I absolutely would have interrogated her. And besides that, the Adam character was stated to be at the Rusty Duck and the flower shop was not investigated...
>>54563Oh stop it.
If you're going to be the rulecuck, why don't you quit wearing two suits of magical armor, or stop wearing a helm and a circlet at the same time, or send off that 17d10 magical beast companion, or that Homebrew feat that gives you four extra spells.
Most of your haxx are seemingly subtle thing that actually go a long ways in the end, often requiring Epic Level feats under normal SRD rules. You're allowed to do all that, because nobody else complains: none of the other party members care if your character has things to make him more effective, sometimes they even encourage it. You on the other hand complain about everything: every session your always policing the other characters on how they play the game, as if it's your place to decide what the rules are. Why can't you just relax and let the GM be the one to decide what he want to allow before you get butthurt?
>"""Free""" Sneak attackIt's not hard to get a """free""" sneak attack, even when you're one square away from your enemy. A smokebombs, darkness, a cloak dance, a concealed weapon.. etc. There's many methods to provide 1-turn concealment or flanking for a Sneak Attack. I like this one because she can use it without blinding party members, and it gives her allies a bit of advantage.
Why do you even care what my character can do?
>>54570>homebrewUsed twice ever and was intended to counterbalance your insistence on playing contrary to other players at the time. The difference is
I don't ask for more things all the time.
>not hardGreat, do that
>>54567The goats were a hold-over from a previous session. Other than that I was trying to avoid getting started into a lengthy cinematic description only to say "whoops, we'll finish later" with Trump and co at Sparintenar. So again, yes I did allow Tracy to get a little silly.
>>54569This is so many levels of inside-job autism that I'm taken aback. Kudos for the thought, but thats SO not it.
>>54570>Why can't you just relax and let the GM be the one to decide what he want to allowI am letting GM decide. I'm just arguing for why I think it should be one way
>>54569Ah, I knew about the Rusty Duck, but not a flower shop. You think the girl is suspect huh? Could very well be, but both my character and Tracy couldn’t see it, so that is our failing. When you get back from your trip, you could ask us about the investigation, and then go out for yourself to find out things.
>>54574He just wants an excuse to use "enhanced interrogation" on her Xp
>>54572>As soon as you see her, she is destroying a human figurine that has a name on it - a coworker?>She is mesmerized by the thought of "what if that were a real person" like there's a pleasure to it>She takes pleasure in being called "the Saw horse" - a name that has a double meaning in being compared to a fictional serial killer>She has zero regard for the person who (presumably) is dead or at least in an unpleasant position>She likes that he is gone, that is, had a motive to get rid of himI absolutely would have interrogated her
>>54576Tbh, I was getting that feel from her too, but Tracy wouldn't be one to pry about those sort of things, unless she were offering to get rid of other annoying coworkers.
>>54576Couldn’t see just fire the guy or get her helpers that were loading the trebuchet to keep him away? Why go to the trouble of murder?
>>54578That's why you should have taken the Paladin...
He may not have "gather information" or "search" but he's got sense motive like nothing else, besides magic like Zone of Truth, Discern Lies, and is strong enough to win a grapple
>>54579Maybe she could. But Adam is the actual owner. And if she's a sadist and a sociopath, she'd be just fine killing him rather than firing him
>>54579I find the image of some faggot "accidentally" having their leg caught on a 90 kg stone projectile that was promptly flung over 300 meters, to be absolutely hilarious.
>>54580Totally not what I was thinking with all of it, but please continue
Okay, pretending to sleep nao
>>54580He was going to Sparta though.
>>54580Well, I did ask you to come along
>>54077Plus, I thought the Will thing was a joke, you know:
Fire at will!
>>54584... a joke, yes... lets go with that
>>54585Makes as much sense as a blue pony with knifes and blood lust eating with two goats see summoned, at least to me.
>>54586Why can’t I spell she today? It’s always see... damn it
Tracy trains in the holodeck for the rest of the afternoon, stopping only to take notes on her newly-developed combat maneuvers, and to feed her birds (who sleep for most of the day).
>>54583I know. And it was frustrating because I wanted to dimension-lock shackle her (because she can teleport now for some reason), cast zone of Truth on her, and do some serious interrogation.
>>54584I'm betting on fantasizing about killing coworkers
>>54588And I'm sure you'll declare more actions for her later
>>54589>teleportShe's a unicorn. I thought with her being all excited about maybe blowing stuff up, she might just manage it since it didn't seem consequential. Chill
>>54589I think I like the ambiguously sinister Slovenia a bit better. I have a dark sense of humor.
>>54589like you haven’t wanted to put the names of people you hate on a target and mow it down before
Or is that just me and I’m just as evil?
>>54591Well
I don't.
>>54590>ChillNever
>>54592Well obviously on it's own it doesn't mean much, but in the totality of the circumstances, I think we have at least reasonable suspicion
>>54594And like I said here
>>54574When you get back, have at an interrogation. Your free to do so.
"Wait, WHAT? That's IT? Oh HELL no," yells a voice as if from nowhere.
Stix, you haven't met Thez yet.
"I didn't sit through all that monkey bullshit for over a week, just to sit here while everyone fast-travels around! I had stuff that I wanted to do!" she says, from the middle of the quarantine area,... that's still holding sjws from that one time,....
>>54595That's forever from now though
>>54590>She's a unicornPls gibe Earth-Pony Strength for Tracy.
Or at least for the sake of performing cartoonish mundane tasks, like pulling oversized wagons up mountains.
*Wanting of things intensifies*
>>54597I know, it’s hard when you made a choice you think isn’t going to be as fun. But here is my advice:
You can make an excuse to come back, like claim you forgot something and then ask us how it goes and start the interrogation, or... pick up some torture equipment on your journey there and say you need to drop it off back at base, then do all the stuff from part one
>>54595Quick terms:
Rusty Duck: Port Barry (home city) Local Favorite Eatery, Pub, Inn, etc.
Sticky Wicket: Favorite Eatery, Inn, Pub, etc. of travelers and Thez, because they stock her favorite booz.
Belligerent Gnome: Local weapons shop, featuring fine-masterwork equipment as available.
There's also a Mage shop, a Butcher shop, a tailor shop, and a variety of equally-specific trades and crafts shops.
>>54600I will definitely look into these... when I can find my way out of the forest
>>54601Were you trying to go all the way to that city with the Elven name or just to see if you could find Trollestia? Because those are two radically different things
>>54602*writes the pro-tip in journal*
Awesome, be everyone will know what I failed at once I get alll the tips written down and they find it next to my remains
<cont>Ben Shapiro runs the Jewelry shop
There's a device in the building/tower (literally Trump Tower) that will resurrect a person off of a stored drop of blood (in case they get squished) called the entertron
>>54601Not so fast, its night time in the forest. I'm already a couple hours late getting to sleep, so I'm not gonna begin that shit, but don't be surprised if Stix is fighting for his life very soon in game time.
>>54605Ah yes, the Gibberlings
\r
>>54603I had no idea the grove was on the map, so yeah, I was headed to the elf looking name on the map.
>>54609Don't worry about it.
My character spent most of her time trying to expand the map as well. Exploring is good.
>>54609Uh... How skilled is your character at diplomacy? That's not a Ranger class skill. No one has been to that area before. Trumpaladin pointed out the direction of the grove and what it looks like
>>54609Oh, you won't die. Well, you
might die I suppose, but thats a later on issue
>>54611Like I said, I don’t know D&D, so I could be as skilled as a doorstop for all I know, but if I was to make a diplomat skill, it would be decent
And yeah, you pointed that out, but I don’t know what’s what on the map yet.
>>54612What is the quickest character death you have seen in these six months, if any have died?
>>54613>QuickestSometimes, GM will get irritated/bored and make your character explode spontaneously.
Other than that, I don't think anyone has died, except for Torc who got turned to sand by mummies.
>Inb4 Tracy is kill
>>54613Online? No one has died quickly (so 3-4 months), and no one lastingly. IRL, one guy died during the first session, and while shortly revived, he was re-killed shortly thereafter
>>54614Well then... next time I will get to see if I break some sort of record. But let’s hope it doesn’t come to that. I would like to survive past the first day if possible, heh.
>>54615Sorry to here some died IRL, was revived, but later died anyway. How was the funeral?
Tracy's faggot pretends to go to sleep.
>>54613The only character deaths have been Torcuil who was mauled to death by a lion (not in combat) and Torcuil getting killed by mummy rot after an encounter (which no one noticed he was infected with)
>>54619There was also the time that Torcuil and Tracy exploded cuz GM was on a proxy and they asked "Who r u?"
>>54620Note to self, never ask who someone is. You may explode.
>>54620What a way to break a six month no-dying streak..
>>54621Good idea.
>>54621Exploding isn't so bad, you just wake up in the entertron, revived and refreshed. The only downside?
You're still hungry.
>>54623But is it you? Or is it just a clone programmed with your memories?
>>54623What happens if you die of starvation?
Now that I think of it, I don't think anyone ever fed those orcs... Might test it out myself later just to see what happens.
>>54624In the D&D universe material beings are hylomorphic. They consist of both the material component and an immaterial "soul" that is not destroyed on death (normally) and can be used to resurrect the character
>>54625Yeah... if you come out just as hungry from the device, which is starving, then it would be an endless death loop.
>>54625She'll probably miscarry first
>>54624Its "you", Stix as opposed to "you", Stix' faggot. Otherwise we're not going to get into arguments of authenticity of a synthesized body.
>>54625"Oh now you say that, after I just fed them!"
>>54627One can prevent the body degradation from starvation by repeatedly using the entertron, but its the law of diminishing returns in that event
>>54629Well guys, I absolutely cannot stay wake any longer. I will try to be on tomorrow. See you then.
>>54633I definitely need to look through the previous threads to see how those happened.
>>54634Let's see,
>1st timeWe don't speak about this on

I need a pony song.
>>54671Never was a big fan of rock, but that’s just me.
I’m at chapter one on this song, (props to them making such a long song, that takes effort) but they lay on those drums like it’s a battle when they are explaining the peaceful times the empire had. Just seems out of place to me.
I liked those “ye olde” ballad parts though. I always enjoyed the old classical music to more modern music.
>>54673I find the classical/rock to be pretty interesting, never heard it before.
>>54674Wut
>>54671Thanks. That at least was able to gas the fucking moeblobs hopping around in my brain.
*revels in being the mouth piece of God, as he continues to preach pure Truth*

Tracy dashes towards Sparta at 500 ft/round, Sparkle sticking his head out of her saddlebag with his tongue flapping about like a flag.
rolling Sparkle's Ride check, because I'm that bored.
>>54733It appears that Sparkle excels in riding ponies.
>>54735Sparkle deserves some love. Tracy is delivering him to Infernius, so she can berate him for not taking proper care of him.
>>54736That's not why, but whatever. Sure, deliver Destello to Infernius
>>54738And you named him "Sparkle," which sounds like a homosexual stripper
>>54739Infernius named him.
>stripperGet your head out of the gutter. That's perfectly fine for a dog's name.
>>54739Do you know of many homo strippers to know about that?
Just playing with ya.
>>54740Well so is Alejandro. Anyways, why do you care?
>GM collapses for the second day in a row
>>54744TY. So how goes it?
>>54745Eh, uneventful, but still tiring..
>>54747Good question. Unknown at this time.
>>54748How many rounds would it take Tracy to gallop to Sparta at full speed?
>>54749You know, she literally has all day.
>>54750I was just wondering.
>>54749>thinking the map is that detailed/plotted
>>54753It's ~15 degrees outside. The only method I have for freeing up frozen units of food (which is all of them) is by swinging a 10lbs dead-blow sledge at an awkward angle anywhere from 10-25x per unit. Today we ran ~ 40 units, so that's anywhere from 400-1000 swings. While doing other things.
I hate the winter.
>>54754It's 78 fucking degrees in my apartment, and has been for days (and most of 2018) because the apartment complex refuses to turn on the air conditioning system. Worse, it's above 70 and also raining outside, so opening windows does no good
I too, hate winter
>>54752Yeah, it was a stupid question...
I was just crunching numbers to figure out how fast Tracy could run irl (114 mph, I think).
>>54754Fug, that sounds awful...
*keks in Floridian*It's been really fucking insufferably humid this week though...
>>54757Translation, ~60 mph (terminal velocity, wind resistance,... the D&D guys aren't physicists)
>>54756>he thinks 78 degrees is hot
>>54759It's 78 degrees
inside of the apartment at midnight. It's miserable to go to sleep in
>>54760Just get some air movement going. Don't you have a fan?
>>54758>Terminal velocityTerminal velocity only applies to falling objects though.
I figured i Tracy's running speed was 500 ft/round, and a round was 3 seconds, her full running speed should be 113.6364 mph.
Also, by those measurements, flying dragons are slow as fuck.
>>54762But there is still wind resistance, though my math isn’t up to snuff to calculate these things.
>>54743Sorry to hear your having a rough time.
*trys to will you more luck*
>>54762First off, a round is 6 seconds, not 3. For two, yes terminal velocity only applies to falling objects. Are you suggesting that there would be less friction and wind resistance if a person was running along a surface than there would be from free-fall?
>>54762Where the hell are you getting 500 ft a round? That's way the fuck out of all proportion. Your character's base speed is 40ft, which you should be grateful for because that is faster than any humonoid in the game
>>54763>wind resistance.She has the Necklace of Adaption: projects a bubble of fresh air around her. Think of her body like a torpedo with a hydrophobic paint coating.
>>54766Faster speed is not a part of the necklace of adaptation
>>54754That doesn't sound fun
>>54765Her base speed is 40 (racial) + 10 (Pali-mount increase) = 50 ft/round
With her special horseshoes, her ground speed doubles, bringing it up to 100 ft/round.
With a full-round action, she can Run to move at up to five times her normal speed, bringing her speed up to 500 ft/round. If she's
ahem spurred in action, her absolute maximum speed is 510 ft/round for a single turn.
Best mount.
>>54770Thez looks at speed stats.
"Ha, my full speed is 555 ft/round." Xp
>>54772>trips"I'll get faster someday, you'll see..."
>>54770Also, she can't go full speed in the first round. Best case, she can move at 3x her base movement rate in the first round, then 5x in the second.
>>54773>Gotta go fast plays in background
>>54774*contemplates taking a lvl in Barbarian, just for the speed*
>>54775You're correct. It'd take her a couple rounds to accelerate.
>>54778But still, you're talking ~80ft/sec. which at 5280 f/mi is ~66 seconds/mile which is - as I said - about 60mph.
>>54779Ah, it seems I made an arithmetic mistake there.
>>54780I'm using way less-precise calculations/results, but yeah its at about that speed.
Which is also very nearly the terminal velocity of a humanoid-sized object at freefall.
Okay then, Tracy, running faster than a cheetah, gallops towards Sparta, with Sparkle's head sticking out of the side pocket on her saddlebag having the time of his life.
>>54782If it's terminal velocity, 122 mph
Tl:dr I've crunchded many maths
About 5 months ago
this is what I wanted to say, but that's cuz the Game seems to operate weird in recollection as far as time is concerned, the correct duration is 9 months ago, I went on a 2-day binge precisely calculating speeds, acceleration, free-fall, wind-resistance/friction, and a whole slough of D&D related expressions.
"In particular, he was calculating the amount of damage an adamantine (simulated - monk fist) object falling from 3/4 of a mile would do upon successfully striking an opponent!"
Yes. Those calculations led to further calculations, onioned by more calculations,.... What I came up with is that 65mph is an acceptable and reasonable speed limit, just because I don't want to have to get so autistic that I get nosebleeds trying to determine precisely what is what.
>>54783Maybe with absolute reduction of wind-profile, but generally I'd put it at 85 TOPS
>>54784>onionedKek.
I still want a 5lb glassteel cannon ball
>>54785No you don't. You want a 2lbs hollow glassteel sphere
But Tracy hasn't delivered that sketch yet
>>54786I did the math for a 5lb solid shell dammit
>>54789Saw-hoers' blueprints
>>54789The note Slovenia asked you to give to Torcuil.
>>54788Relax, it'll be 5lbs
>>54791Oh, yeah.
I'll remember to have her give it to Torc when she gets there.
>>54785Put an Arcane Mark on it, so you can summon it back after you use it.
>>54794>pets ponySee ya later
>>54791I'm just saying if I did the math for a solid five pound tank shell, I don't wanna end up with a 2lb hollow sphere.
Also, is there a library in the town?
>>54793Smart...
If it doesn't melt
>>54794See ya
>>54796Cuz its going to stay hollow, and not get filled with nitro and all sorts of shrapnel and explodey-bits?
>>54797But that's with a trebuchet, not telekinesis
>>54798>doesn't want explosive Trebuchet roundsMy bad. I had forgotten you have your own rail-gun-esque game-breaker in the works
>>54799>sighI never said I didn't want the trebuchet rounds, but I also want my magic powered rail gun for special situations.
Torc also wants to look for books and start engineering.
SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER
>>54800noted. Its an 'in case of emergencies' cannon
>>54796>MeltLenos said he'd tried to destroy the tower multiple times: unless enchanted to be so, the material must be uber heat-resistant.
BTW, I'm thinking about streaming Idiocracy. I could just watch it, but except for Tracy's faggot who can't ever see anything, I like watching w/ the rest of u faggots.
>>54799I'd like explosive sling bullets.
>>54805Telekinesis is a great spell.
Now I want a ring...
>>54804I'm shocked

>>54806>Torc makes wands for everybody but Tracy
>>54809reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Tracy can buy most mundane items at the port, right?
I’m going to try hinting the story I’m thinking up for Stix. hopefully it won’t suck, I never tried writing a story before
Stix stares into his small fire at the campsite, pondering all the events so far in this strange world. The crazy people, the interesting environments, but for some reason, his mind kept drifting to the fire trap he encountered when he first arrived. He wasn’t hurt by it, maybe a bit surprised, but that was nothing new considering being thrown into a new place with all kinds of characters telling you your dead.
But still, he couldn’t get the image of the fire out of his head. He tries to take his mind off of it by looking to the stars for a while. “I wonder if the constellations are different here? Let’s see... there is the Ursa Major and th-“
Was it getting warmer? Stix glances at his camp fire. It was still the same intensity. So why is it so hot all of a sudden? He gets up at takes a few steps back, but the heat is getting worse. In a panic, Stix throws dirt on the fire, but it won’t go out, in fact, it grows, seemingly in spite to the attempt to snuff it out. “I must be ill. It feels my body is roasting! And why can’t I put out the damn fire?” Almost in response, the fire creeps out of the pit which held it back and inches toward the increasingly frightened pony.
Stix attempts to flee, but is stopped before he can even finish turning around as the ground around him ignites to add to the blazing heat. He observes everything burst into flame. The path he traveled, the trees around him, and... even the sky! Had he gone mad? He didn’t ponder this for long as the inferno overtook him where he stood. He watched in horror as his forelegs were wrapped in a blue film for half a second before releasing the bright orange and yellow glow in a roar.
He screamed in pain and begged for it to stop, but to no avail. He looked forwards helplessly, believing these to be his last moments as he observed the ground slowly rise up, as if he was sinking where he stood. From among the tears streaming down his face as if trying to quench the blaze, he took note of something shining before him. As he looked closer to inspect it, a jewel seems to float toward him in a puddle of molten gold. All of his attention is now on this jewel as the world appears to fade to black around him. He watches it forms cracks under the extreme heat, spiderwebbing, until it shatters with a loud... CRACK!
Stix jumps at the sound, awaking from this nightmare drenched in sweat. He quickly realized he had fallen asleep next to the fire. Nearly in a blink of an eye, Stix throws heaps of dirt onto the fire and stomps it repetitively. He then runs back about thirty feet and curls up into a ball. Things are starting to become clearer, and he wished he hadn’t been trying to remember now. “S-so... that’s the way I... died?”
I know that wasn’t very good. Very heavy in cliché and such, but I felt I needed to try making the character a little more interesting.
>>54813At least you didn't accidentally write Braveheart...
And actually, not half bad at all.
>>54814>accidentally write BraveheartKek
How scary of a monster would a adult Timber Wolf be? Like a Brachyurus, only with the plant subtype? It'd definitely be a powerful and dangerous creature.
Forget I asked. No spoilers.
>>54813>clicheNot at all. I'm not sure where you're going with it, and I look forward to seeing more.
>>54816I had a life and death for my character, certainly planned out and part of it was written out.
I stopped when Tracy's faggot made fun of me for saying that I wanted my character's backstory to overlap with his...
>>54820 Well, that is just plain rude Tracy’s faggot. I would like to hear the story if you still want to share it.
>>54820I did that? Sorry...
>considers writing a slightly different backstory so Torc isn't "William Wallace with memes and (((jews)))"
>>54823You should put more emphasis on the cave where he studied meme magick.
>>54825Anyway, what I was saying is that Idiocracy analyzes the dynamic of a "responsible" household working in the midst of a society that is ass-backward. I'd been contemplating the movie for several days, as I continue to attempt to understand how I might hope to positively influence those I interact with.
>>54827Surely you noticed the subtext of "a rational person surrounded by idiots"?
>>54828Well, yes I get what your saying.
It's more the fact...
You know what, never mind
>>54826>responsible household working in the midst of a society that is ass-backwardIsn’t that called life as we know it today?
>I'd been contemplating the movie for several days, as I continue to attempt to understand how I might hope to positively influence those I interact with.That’s nice, but I’m not sure how come the movie helps you in doing this. Maybe it shows you something you haven’t considered, but I think a movie can only teach you so much about helping to interact and influence people positively.
Oh, and sorry for not watching it with you, but the system is still giving me problems.
>>5483090% sure he's bullshitting us, that movie was weird as hell
>>54828The point of the movie was that Not Sure was really just an average guy, but he did nothing with his life.
Part of the lesson was to get "average" people to at least try to make a difference in society. Everyday you hear people of every political affiliation complaining about how the people who run their governments are "idiots", without doing anything to to fix it themselves. All of the issues in the universe were really just basic problems that were collectively ignored by humanity because nobody cared enough to even think of trying to fix them.
>>54832Agreed, nominally. I for one find myself amongst "households" and "peers" who are more interested in buying the latest I-phone or putting rims on their car - to say the least - than planning for their children's future
who they already have or hell, just cleaning their damn room.
I want dire goats and dire cattle for Tracy's ranch. Actually, I want dire everything. A dire farm.
>>54826>>54826>a "responsible" household working in the midst of a society that is ass-backward... how I might hope to positively influence those I interact withThere is but one hope anon
>>54834>Wants more things, he declares for the third time in an inactive dayWell no shit
>>54834>Tracy wanting something really strange>not gamebreaking, just weirdI'm so shocked
>>54833That's part of what makes the movie so depressingly accurate.. but also makes it more compelling to try to make something of your life.
>>54833That is why they are called normies. They are so deep in the matrix, they can even see that they are illogical and motivated by shallow desires. It is amazing to see play before your eyes once you detach yourself from this lifestyle isn’t it?
>>54835You depress me sometimes anon.
Where could I find dire livestock though..
>>54834Gee, its a pity you let those Ogres wander off with that dire cattle isn't it
>ITT faggots discussing the themes and morality of Idiocracy
>>54839Can you go one day without shopping?
>>54842You might want to consider keeping this line away from the ladies, at the very least the real ones.
>>54840Tbh, that was my way of subtly hinting I haven't given up on the ogres...
>>54843>Real human ladiesI learned my lesson on that one. Never again
>>54844An entire herd of dire cattle can't be that hard to track.
>>54845Care to share? I’m all ears.
Shabby was probably just a soyboy. Real ogres appreciate layers.
>>54846If only you had the tracking feat and weren't dozens of miles away
>>54848Years of putting up with psychopathy and emotional outbursts (usually in public), besides the selfishness. I could say more, but why
\r
>>54850>but why?‘Cause it’s good to let out your frustrations and get things off your chest. I’m not saying you have to, just that you may want to.
>>54850Well, they were in the mountains, and a herd of dire cattle leaves a pretty clear trail (like 2 dozen sets of tracks), so it shouldn't be that hard.
>>54853Okay, when Fae or Stix gets around to it, they can track. Since they are the only ones with the ability to track
Tracy summons a crow to deliver a message to Infernius that she's borrowing Sparkle.
>>54856Great. Now she can spend several hours going back because I am pretty sure she's already to Sparintenar by now
>>54857Worth it.
Sparta wouldn't be that far away anyway. Remember that time Tracy flew there in two rounds after Brad called her?

*runs in circles*

>>54883Happy birthday, Anon.
>>54884Baz is going to ask Trumpaladin where his horse is
>>54885Yeah, I'd just considered that.
*zips around*
>>54884It's not actually my birthday
>>54887Why lie to us? What have we done to deserve such scandalous deception?
I can't get over that not liking onions or parfait thing though. I'm going to see what's up with those ogres after she delivers that letter and does other crap in Sparta.
>>54891Maybe they are upset because they are being displaced by refugees arriving into their swamp?
>>54892I think shabby was just retarded for his species, or something.
I might have her speak with the other ogres. Hopefully shabby hasn't been badmouthing her.
>>54892They should have built a wall and enforced the boarders. It’s their own fault for having an open boarder policy.
>>54894This.
Port Barry had a wall when they found it, and even so Trumpaladin built a new wall to the east to help inclose more land in the town. And the Tower had a wall around it. So why don't they just build a wall
>>54893She really should talk to her boyfriend first
Ponies are magical beasts, right?
>>54896I can't tell what creature subtype to categorize them as. I've been treating her as humanoid, but humanoid doesn't really make sense for them as a race...
>>54897Let's just go with Humanoid for relevant purposes
>>54896I would guess so because their magic can be taken way by Tirek, rendering them weak and useless. But I have no say as to how the rules would count them.
If they were magical beasts, they'd certainly have a higher lvl adjustment, so it might be better to treat them as humanoid.
>>54897Give the main board some love some time. It could really use some political discussion
>>54901Oh, I am. I’m just good at multitasking these two.
>>54898Nah, unicorns in this universe have had the ability to teleport and at-will Mage Hand: it wouldn't be proper to classify them as Humanoids. Pegasi can fly too.
I wanna say monstrous humanoid to compromise, but they really don't LOOK humanoid at all.
>>54903Unicorns in Friendship is Magic cannot teleport except where they are high level mages (remember Twilight Sparkle just learning how to teleport in season 1?) and the telekenesis is only able to just barely replace having hands, except for high level magic users.
>>54904It's not a question of power: it's merely a trait that distinguishes them from animals.
>>54906Generally, creatures similar to animals with more than 2 Int are considered to be magical beasts.
>>54906I think player races should generally strive to be similar to one another in terms of balance, so I'd place ponies as humanoids. And that's what I'm going to insist on.
But I know you don't give a shit, so whatever
>>54911I can’t sleep tonight, so I can keep you a little company. Hope you feel better soon.
though I will probably suddenly fall asleep
>>54912I just learned something interesting about what all the "white" mass shoters have in common.
>>54914What would that be?
>>54915They all had a jewish parent.
>>54916Ah... now the puzzle pieces start to fall into place. How interesting.
>>54916Even the colombine guys.
>>54918What gets me about all of these shootings are the people being interviewed. They have no real emotion and are heavily scripted. And the normies soak it all up. They never question if it is as it is presented.
>>54919Have you heard about crisis actors?
>>54920Indeed. The same people being hired to give a performance at each disaster.
>>54921Yeah ive seen some pretty convincing evidence for it. I wouldn't be surprised if it were real.
>>54922Do you like studying conspiracies and things of that nature?
>>54923Ill entertain some conspiracy theories. But usually when you look into it the same (((people))) come up.
>>54924Yep. What would you say is your favorite conspiracy that you think has merit?
>>54925That depends,do you consider the mossad demolishing the twin towers a conspiracy theory?
>>54926Most would, so I think so. What is your take on it? How was it done?
>>54927Well jet fuel doesn't melt steel beams, so we can rule that out. I suspect they planted various explosives,possibly thermite, maybe plastic explosives. And i think the "plane" we see is a missle.
>>54928Exactly. I have been trying to convince my family for years about this. Of course they say it is terrible to think our government could ever do such a thing.
>>54929Im pretty lucky, my family is pretty redpilled.
>>54930I’m slowly getting some results, but my family has that huge “greatest ally” hurdle to cross if they want to get much deeper into what’s really going on in the world.
>>54931If i asked my grandparents who Americas greatest ally is they'd probably say the uk or Australia.
>>54932I think my grandparents may as well, but my parents definitely would say Israel, unfortunately.
>>54933Thats regrettable m8. Keep up the red pills.
>>54934I give them at every opportunity. My brother is starting to show promise though. He sees right through most of the (((lies))). And just out of curiosity, do you have any religious beliefs? It ties into my favorite conspiracy.
>>54935Yea im a protestant.
>>54936Then it isn’t as much a conspiracy to us then. The Antichrist is my favorite topic of study, which I believe is the end goal of all conspiracy, to set up his kindom.
>>54937Of course, thats one of the reasons they pushed for the Iraq war.
>>54931>>54933I still have no fucking idea why anyone in their right mind would call Israel our "greatest ally", Jewish propaganda or not. They've done jack shit for us except eat up most of the foreign military aid money we send out across the world, building missile defense systems that still don't work because the missiles their enemies use are low-tech enough to slip right through them.
>>54938It also explains why the jew is behind it all. They are trying to set up the ruler of the new world order, so they can be like gods. It is just fascinating to see play out in front of our eyes now. They are really ramping up their game it seems.
>>54941The (((nwo))) will be ruled from Israel the borders will contain Europe and North America. If we Dont get the ovens started.
>>54942God promised it will happen, but He didn’t say it will be in our lifetime. The next generation could be saved from destruction as it seems they are much more open to nationalism. God promises to heal the lands of those that turn from their wicked ways. If we purge the evils that plague us, we may spare our children before it is too late.
The only down side is that it will happen. The jew has proven to be tough to get rid of. The Romans made a bit of a mess of things as they forced Jews around the world. Now they lurk to rise up after each generation that refuses their evil, just to corrupt the next.
>>54943Exactly, thats why i adopted the natsoc political beliefs, i want a better future for my future children and their children.
>>54944>"Son, let me tell you about the Jews..."
>>54945I will most definitely be having that conversation with my kids.
>>54909That sucks, get better soon
>>54928Please don't tell me you bought into the "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" shit. I'm not saying the government had no part in it, I'm just saying; the jet feul could sufficiently weaken the steel beams in that situation
>>54947Look into it a bit, who owned what, the disturbing lack of evidence, the place phasing through the building, and also research thermite. The destruction does seem to fit a termite type of controlled demolition. Ever notice the smoke pouring out of the ground level? Unless the A/C was super effective, I think there was some burning going on down below.
But that’s how conspiracy works unfortunately. There isn’t enough evidence to convince everyone.
>>54948Plane*
Not place... ugh, I need to stop staying up so late
>>54948Phasing?
The fuck are you on m8
Like I posted earlier, I never said it wasn't an inside job, I just think it actually was the planes that brought the towers down.
>>54951Those "planes" are missles.
>>54953Watch it before it gets shoah'd.
>>54952M8, I find that hard to believe.
Setting up a hijacking is a lot easier to pull-off and conceal than a targeted missile strike.
>>54955Some one should make a thread
>>54957Do it. I don't have a computer atm.

*arrives at Sparta after 5 mins of indecisive circling*
Tracy disguises herself as a Spartan and wanders around, just because her faggot feels like it.
Do I roll disguise ahead of time?
How often does a character/creature gain an ability point?
>>54970I've only allocated 3 points (all dex), I can put another one in then.
Now, Dex, Int, or Char...
>>54971I'd go Dex, but you've got quite a few odd numbered stats
>>54971All of Tracy's mental stats started out low, but I kind of want to go full-Dex to get Blinding Speed..
Decisions, decisions...
>>54972Wis is kind of a lost cause though, isn't it? Sure there's the BG spells, but I'm going to take that Domain feat, so that she can use her Insanity lvl for Spells.
All of Tracy's mental stats, rolled out pretty low form the get-go. She doesn't really have anything but Dex..
>>54969>>54971I havent allocated any.
>>54974>>54975What are your guy's stats, maybe I can help
>>54976Tracy's stats are
>13 Str>19 Dex>11 Con>13 Int>11 Char>9 Wis
>>54977Uh, I'd suggest strength or dexterity
>>54976>>54976infernuis Preston

>tfw no Earth-pony Str
>>54979How the fuck did you get 21 base strength?
Nevermind, I don't want to know at this point.
I'd suggest str or dex
so you don't have that negative modifier
>>54979We need to polymorph Infernius into a real Minotaur, so he can have even more Str and Con. He'd be more effective as a monstrous humanoid too.
>>54981>>54979It should be Wis.
His spells ate dead-easy to resist as he is.
>>54982>sad silence as highest stat is 18
>>54984At least you didn't roll a negative stat.
>>54987I don't have my stats in front of me, but IIRC
>9 str>14 Dex>16 int>11 con>11 Wis>18 chaI think Con could be 12 but I'd have to check
>>54989How does it change? Sleeves?
>>54983Especially since Monstrous humanoids have base attack bonus's equal to their total hit dice.
>>54983Even more strength you say?
If a being is polymorphed to have wings it can fly, correct?
>>54993Yes. Even more Str.
He'd lose like 2 more Int though (total brainlet), but the fact that the new shape would have lower Int is what'd make the change permanent, with the Polymorph Any Object spell.
>>54995Stop trying to spread your bullshit to other players
>>54994Yeah, but you can't just Add shit to a creature, you can only turn it into something else. And only changes between creatures already similar can be permanent.
>>54997And would it change stats?
>>54997*creatures or objects
Also, polymorph spells can't grant Su or spell-like abilities.
I read on a blog you can change a creature's race/species entirely with a carefully-worded Wish, but it's more than likely to go haywire if you try to turn it into a creature more useful than it already is.
>>54998Should be the base stats of the new form. I'd use the base stat-modifiers for monstrous humanoids and fey. There isn't much else, because it's simply inadvisable change a creature into a non-humanoid shape, unless you're trying to attack it by simulating the affects of Baleful Polymorph.
>>55001Eh, nevermind
>throws plan out window
>>55001It'd only be useful in a permanent sense for changes into less intelligent creatures that way. You could turn a shrew into a manticore for only a week, but the inverse is permanent, primarily because the manticore had more Intelligence.
That's why it isn't generally used in attempt to morph characters.
>>55003So how would I give something wings?
Should I get the redbull to do it?
>>55004What do you want to give wings?
>>55006Snek is an object; you could probably graft some Wings of Flying onto him, if not just cast Fly on him whenever you need to.
>>55010
I’m going to nod my head and appear to understand what this is about.
*nods head*
>>55008Fair enough
>>55012What did I miss?
>>55013I deleted the following because I thought it was poorly-worded and possibly misleading. May as well repost:
How to craft your own Maud Pie
Step One: Cract an oversized Maud Statue
>carved a large stone statue of a heavy warhorse out of high-quality granite>Be sure to decorate your Maud, with features of the pony in question>Enchant statue over the course of 15 days to craft a Stone Horse (destrier)>Though unintelligent, maud is a fully-functioning stone creature, capable of restoring her health by eating gems and mineralsStep 2: Animate your Maud
>Cast Animate Objects on your Maud and afflict her with Permanency, to allow her to move freely even when her ability to move as an item is not active>Your Maud is now treated as a construct of large size and Neutral Alignment with 4 hit dice, and is capable of making powerful Trample attacks>Being a former inanimate object, Maud's personality may seem bland to those who don't know her wellStep 3 Shrink and harden Maud down to fun size
>Use the Hardening spell to increase Maud's density>Since Maud is composed of mineral substances, her body will shrink down to pony size (medium), but will still be just as heavy and tough as rockStep 4: Awaken her
>Your Maud can be transformed into a Heavy Warhorse (medium size), with the Stone To Flesh spell. Conventional magick works on her, and she can be healed by using the same healing spells you'd use on a normal horse, since she is treated as a living creature of the Animal subtype>In animal state, enchant her over the course of 24 hours with the Awaken spell>This spell will transform Maud into a sentient talking "animal" (magical beast), increasing her charisma and intelligence levelsStep 5: Make a Wish
>As with all Epic golems, Maud must be Wished to life to attain her maximum potential>With a well-worded wish, combine the various enchantments that you've placed on Maud to turn her into a unique, sapient being with super-scored abilities>Your Maud is now her own, independent creature, with herculean Strength, tough-as-rock natural armorStats:
>18 Str>13 Dex>17 Con>3d6 Int (depending on how well your Awakening worked)>13 Wis>6 +1d3 Char (again, Awaken)Maud's Int, Char, and Wis could be higher, depending on how much XP is spent in giving her Intelligence (as an item) through the Wish......
Aaaaand, I'm done typing out this bullshit for now. I was just looking through the meta to teach myself stuff, and I used that as an exercise. It still seems like I don't know what the Tartarus I'm doing though.
>>55015Meh, it's still incomplete.
You'd still need a high-level Cleric or Druid with enough knowledge ranks to give her the physical and mental abilities of the real Maud.
Maud is one of the strongest, fastest and smartest ponies in all of Equestria. I was mostly just looking to see how non-epic spells could be combined to create more powerful creatures.
>>55016I mean, I just threw-in the Wish at the end to stitch together the bullshit.
Creating a proper Maud would be a project for an epic level divine spellcaster.
>>55017>sad arcane noises
>>55018That's because of the knowledge ranks.
Through the
Life seed. Casters with enough ranks in knowledge of Religion or Nature can give greater-than-humanoid sentience and life to any creature/object. Such epic seeds would be necessary to create a truly living, breathing, growing creature made of stone, that couldn't just be robbed of it's enchantments.
This Maud, in her prototype form is merely an awakened warhorse that likes eating rocks
Arcane magick is great for creating things too though. No epic-level golem can be enchanted without a proper Wish.
The process of creating an artifact-tier Maud-golem would be better off as a Ritual with multiple different types of spellcasters contributing 9th lvl spell slots.
>>54947Uhm I can state from technical knowledge and experience that yes, a jet-fire
could compromise the structural integrity of steel beams. Having said, the building would
not pancake into its own profile in that event, and - just saying - it was Tesla tech anyway.
>>55014o_o
>>55020How have you been today good sir?
>>55021Good, thanks for asking. I got a reprieve from doing the sledge-hammering (only about 200 swings today). You?
>>55022Word
>>55023Just more college monotony. Other than that, I’m fine.
>>55025Computer science. Is that a good choice?
>>55026I have no reference of comparison, though its a solid choice with how technology is evolving.
>>55027The problem I’m facing with this type of degree is that I seem to be largely self taught. They give me a programming problem, give a tip or two on how it is solved, then sit back and watch until I finish and the cycle repeats. It gets frustrating as it feels I could get an equal education if I taught myself over the resources available online, most of which is free. But companies don’t want you unless you got that pretty piece of paper. I hope to start my own business someday as well in order to keep (((corporate))) from telling me what to do 24/7.
>>55028Yeah, don't get me started on the pretty piece of paper. Well, I know of individuals who would study additional courses while taking their regular classes, and then would challenge those additional courses without attending a single class. If the material is largely self-taught, then there might be ways of utilizing your own specialties and proclivities to accelerate your schooling?

Tracy walks around Spartintar, believing herself to be totally disguised, but not realizing that her bushy, blue tail is sticking out for all to see.
[confident infiltrator noises]
>>55032Oh it totally worked. Tracy feels completely and totally satisfied with her disguise.
>>55034Kek, you're on the same page
Are there any stables in Spartintar?
>>55036No. There are only tanks. There is ample parking for tanks, as well as showrooms and dealerships for tanks.
Yes, there is a stable. I bet you want a mini-tank now don't you? Maybe a 2-person tank? Perhaps a tank-wagon?
Ha ha, no tanks.
>>55037Getting my hopes up like that... [disgruntled, greedy thief noises]
Tracy walks up towards the stables, on two legs, in a spartan uniform, with her tail wagging confidently.
[1d20+35 = 45]
Rolling for even more street preaching. Because what else is he to do than to spread the glory of Football?
How many subjects can you make a Diplomacy check on at once?
>>55040Depends on the circumstance. Y?
>>55040How many subjects can listen to the same speech?
>>55042Mother of god.
>inb4 Trump teaches Tracy to win the crowd
>>55041Just wondering for the sake of future reference.
Diplomacy is one of the few skills Tracy has in all of her classes. I didn't realize it could be used to sway a mob.
Does the same thing apply to Bluff and other Charisma-based checks?
Maybe I should put that last point in Char, seeing as how Intimidate and Diplomacy are two of the few skills she has in each class.
>>55043C-can I gain skill points that way..?
*wants things*
>>55045That's not how skill points work, and you're probably better off specializing in the things you do well that no one else can rather than trying to do the only thing my character does well but would do better regardless
>>55046Yeah, but Paladins don't make bonds easily with chaotic/ebil NPCs or other thugs, and I want to make friends with badasses to join the Wild Hunt.
I'm not really intending to put skill points in that atm, but I'm really just confused as to the practical difference between Diplomacy, Perform, and Bluff as of now.
Tracy's faggot has yet to given up on ogre-diplomacy. Imma' take another crack at it asap.
>>55047It was already explained to you that Tracy does not speak the language
>>55048I'll figure something out when I get there.
>>55048People have learned to communicate with different languages before since ancient times. That’s how people learned other languages before Rosetta Stone software.
>>55049Or it'll go down just like last time
>>55050Oh yeah, she's just going to learn an entirely new language in two days
>>55051>9 WisBring it on.
>>55053I'll say to you what i have said so many many times to Torcuil: "go talk to your waifu"
Tracy is heading towards the stablles, since brad is busy with a speech or something.
>>55055He's mostly just occupying his time until Renquist and Baz are available
>>55056I'm actually not familiar with the song
How the hell did this tide pod thing even become a meme in the first place?
>>55058Its like drink bleach
I wonder if Killy likes jibberniggers...
>>55059I know, but I was wondering why plp kept "ironically" eating them for a whole month.
Fucking internet...
>>55061Never underestimate the stupidity of the normies.
though I still get a good laugh out of these kind of memes
>>55062The stupidest memes do come out at the beginning of the year..
>>55060Kiynen: the one girl Trumpaladin wants to stick his sword in only in the literal sense
>>55064I find her cute.
I'll have Tracy bring her a few heads next time she goes there.
>>55065Trump needs to go there as well
>>55066Why are we posting Tide Ponies, again?
>>55067He too wants to give Kiynen a head
FULL OF TIDE PODS!!!
>>55051I'd eat that right now
>>55071I don't believe you.
>>55072Good point, I'd rather drink bleach
>>55074Mmmmmmm.. Clorox..
On that note, if someone succeeded their fortitude save on poisoned food (i.e. arsenic) would they just keep eating it until they failed the save?
>>55075Depends. Is that person Infernius?
>>55076>Implying he could pass the first save
>>55077He isn't a bitch though. And he'd keep drinking just to show how much of a bitch he isn't
>>55078What I'm saying is, you can't smell or taste arsenic, so wouldn't you just keep eating unaware?
>>55079Well, arsenic poisoning takes at minimum a few hours, but easily can last days. So my guess is that yes, they would finish the meal, and very possibly may also be able to start and finish another meal before they are too sick to eat
>>55081Yeah..
Then again, it'd be bullshit irl if a creature could just eat something covered in heavy metals and still be unhurt, so I guess it's better to just watch what you eat.
>>55082Napoleon Bonaparte was found to have levels of Arsenic in his hair follicles 13 times the norm at the time of his death. Yeah it's possible to consume and accumulate heavy metals over the course of your life, although it can have all sorts of negative consequences
[1d20 = 4]>>55078>>55077>>55075Drinks bleach
>>55086How high is the Heal DC to perform that surgery?
>>55083I doubt even he would've survived a direct dose though. It's like a chemical equivalent to being burnt at a stake.
>>55092Heh, lower than I thought.
>>55095I'd rather not, desu. It's nothing interesting anyway.
>>55096It's okay anon. You can tell us.
And why is this thread at the top of the overboard?
>>55099I don't know. I guess there is some sort of bug that causes threads to bump again after they've hit 1000 or whatever number
>>55098DO IT
>>55100Have we found this site's overflow error?
>>55101Forgot I saged someone.
>>55101Do you mean why it is that a thread past bump limit will still bump on the overboard?
>>55103Some sites' coding can only count so high before the count is reset back to zero. This is called an overflow error. Bascially, the thread's bump count got so high, it reset to zero, so the site now thinks that there's room for it to bump.
>>55104Eh, I don't have permission to access the configuration any more, even locally, so I can't check the settings there, and I have no idea how to code
>>55104So, any time the post count's last three digits are between 001-449 the thread will bump? Neat!
>>55106That's the basic idea behind it.
Will y'all be able to play this weekend?
I don't have any plans..
>>55100>>55097>>55098>>55096>>55095Now what the hell did I miss?
>>55108I have some stuff Saturday evening, but other than that I'm free
>>55108I think I’m good to play this weekend. I should be free Friday evening as well if we can start the game early.
Does Tracy's cane-sword have any name or other distinguishing mark on it? I'm kind of tired of referring to it as "her cane"; figured it has quite some history to it.
>>55112If it doesn’t, have Tracy claim it does have a history and change it to fit the scene each time. Like when taking to a warlord, claim it is from a grand general that won a battle outnumbered five to one. Or in a place of nobility, claim a king once owned it and gave it to you as reward for saving a kingdom. I think it would be funny if Tracy could successfully trick NPCs that she had something of status and might respect her based on simply possessing it.
>>55113It's from a dead guy though.
Another player used it in a previous campaign.
>>55114Its not distinguishable as being "Korak's cane", it's just a fine gentleman's cane that turns into a sword at will.
>>55113>I think it would be funny if Tracy could successfully trick NPCs that she had something of status and might respect her based on simply possessing it.Shit, now I gotta kill a king to steal his swag.
Remind me to find the location of the nearest monarchy.
*wanting of things intensifies*
>>55115It's a swift action to turn it into a sword, right?
>>55117Sounds useful for Sneak Attacks.
Korak's faggot had some nice taste.
>>55116On that note, it'd be best to try to do something about Kefka, before he wises up enough to try to scry on his sleeping dog
, which may or may not have mutated after consuming Soros's leg in Tracy's meat locker...
>>55122Stahp giving GM ideas goddamn it
>>55123That is something I must adamantly refuse.
It's my favorite thing to do in this game, followed by imagining things that I want.
>>55110I'll be here through tomorrow and the weekend, although I'll probably be out until later tomorrow afternoon.
>>55116 forgive my terrible editing skills... this is why I stick to stealing other people’s memes...
I would like to see queen Tracy and how that would play out.
>>55128Kek. I think Tracy could go for being queen again some day.
>>55129Don't forget who shall be King
>>55130>>55129I don't think Tracy would have any complaints
*Urge to blogpost intensifies*
Can I get the pattern for Torc's kilt again? I forgot to save it.
Eh, a pic is better than my blogpost
Torc needs a magical wizard hat, btw.
>>55139That's a witch's hat
>>55139>choking back tearsIt's..
It's beautiful.
>>55140Gandalf wore a hat kinda like that
>>55141I don't think he wore anything that feminine
My inner Puritan tells me we need to light a fire...
>>55130I think a king needs something a little cooler going for him than snacks.
slowly learning the editing process... maybe one day I will actually be good
>>55143*left spoiler image on*
And maybe one day I will master THIS site...
>>55142Well he did wear a hat
>>55143HOLY SHIT THAT'S BEAUTIFUL
>>55143Kek. One of my pics was in there.
>>55147Like I said, I steal memes. I’m not that creative to make my own, at least not yet. Most I seem to do is alter them slightly.
>>55144>And maybe one day I will master this siteI hope for the same
>>55148Best meme maker already. But Peach Rings are essential
>>5515110/10
Now for Torc to shoot fireballs out his eyes and lightning bolts out his arse
>>55151>Has a manly face>But wears women's apparel, including both a dress and a woman's hat
>>55143>>55134Hes not king damn it!
>>55155Infernius is the Pope: Pope is better than king.
I want to kill something soon...
>>55159You had your chance last week, which was better than any of us. Shut up
>>55160I'll find something to kill.
>>55158>>55157Infernuis is Fhürer/pope.
>>55162But Tracy says she's king
>>55149Just playing with the software now. It’s pretty fun.
But I’ll stop for now.
>>55151Looks great.
>>55163You act like it's not to be expected.
There's
always more to be killed.
>>55164>>55165Not happening.
She can be a dutchess
>>55168Never say "not happening" around the sorcerer with limited wish
and soon, wish
>>55168Duchess is fine for starters, desu, so long as she has inalienable impunity over her domain and things that she can kill kill.
>>55169You still have that moon card.
>>55170Yes, yes.. Let the rudeness flow thru u..
>>55171You can have trollestia grove.
>>55176Let her set up a base in former-Durpistan too though. Tracy will be sure to keep the mines productive.
>>55178A cave/mine beneath the crumbling remains of a communist city, with a black dragon's nest on top, sounds like the perfect place for an ebil hideout.
>>55179Still exploiting it personally. If you want to do whatever with an orc or whatever workforce, that' fine
At least, I don't think I still have either card...
Which bread was that?
>>55182Pretty sure Death only wrote her name on the Star card.
>>55177Fine but you have to look into Ben's life.
>>55184Why? GM explicitly said he's not a jew in any sense you understand it
>>55183Yep, Torc still has the Star Card...
Shit, now I really wanna use it but I don't know which stat...
>>55179Thats kind of the idea,... ever since,....
>GM, its ebil to slaughter a city>clean up the dead or else spoopy>black dragon lording over a pile of corpsesWhere did you all
think I was going with it? Its an ebil sanctuary.
>>55182IIRC, Death wrote her number on the star card, voiding it.
>>55187Fine, I'll clear the fucking thing out a second time
>>55185I still have my suscpesions.
>>55190"I'll ask politely - why the fuck not?"
>>55184Fine. Just don't gas him immediately, because that'll give GM a headache and mess-up the shekel-haxx.
The minerals will will be delivered to the port as it comes out of the mines, and won't be targeted by raiders
(Tracy). The place will stay productive, if not a bit isolated and shady.
>>55187B-but you said I could keep that one
>>55193I think that was the Moon card.

>ITT Trump attempts to discourage GM from bothering ~_~
>>55221>who was drinking bleach a minute ago
>Impromptu bans
I remain firm in my stance.
The happy merchants entering Port Barry from the surrounding roads are Tracy's prey. Nobody can raid them but her.
>>55223There are no happy merchants entering port barry
>>55224Exactly.
Tracy's made good work of that.
>>55225No. That's not what that means
[1d20 = 15]>>55222*vomits bleach*
>>55228I can quit the game
I know what I am concerned about, and I know what I want
>>55229Woah man, you can be king.
>>55231What is it? We don’t want to see you quit if we can avoid it.
>>55232It's a long story that I am not sure you're familiar with, but it does not directly pertain to the game itself
>>55233I definitely don’t want to pry, but if you feel like talking about it, I would like to hear what you have to say.
>>55233If its what I think it is, there's always a ninja you can call on, and if it isn't then there's still that ninja.
unless you want to cause more problems that will have negative effects for all of us for weeks to come, delete your thread on /qa/
>>55237Why though?
Also, I made that on a mobile IP. I might be able to when I get to my phone, but the IP may have changed by then.
>>55152I can’t help it, I got to make more shitty edits.
I haven’t finished things like coloring, but that’s all I got time for right now.
>>55241Well... shit. Forgot to remove the top and bottom in the cropping...
*sigh*
No more editing for me. I will see myself out.
>>55243
Why would it cause that though?
>>55244If you could get on discord, I could explain. Just delete that thread
>>55246
Well, my issue was fixed, so I don't really need the thread anymore.
>>55241>>55242Don't stop. Practice is the key.
I made this one right before I passed out last night.
>>55250That’s really good. I will keep practicing, definitely.
>Just remembered Tracy's in empathy range
As Tracy walks towards the stables, she sends an emotional blip to Brad, letting him now that she's nearby and she'll be there soon. It'd feel like something along the line of:
>'I'll be there soon, ~Flashy. Say the word and I'll be there immediately.'
As she takes a moment to size-up the cavalry that the Spartans boast in their stables I promise not to kill anyone this time. Just checking things out, to learn moar about life in Sparta.
Also, I'm not entirely sure about the limitations of the Empathetic link. I've been treating it like it were some sort of telepathy, although only in cases where they were fairly close range. I just want to know how complex of a message they can send/receive with it, for strategic purposes. I'd assume either of the two could take an action to discern the general direction of either being, or communicate messages that imply intention. He can at least call/summon her from anywhere, right; they don't need to be within a mile? I've been researching how those underling classes apply to cohorts, but idk how it'd work with PC characters, since cohorts are usually played by the DM or the PC that has them.
>>55252A cold chill runs down Trumpaladin's spine
>empathic linkEh. It's definitely a form of comunication, though limited by distance. For a wizard's familiar the 3.5 edition limits the content to general emotion, although different add-ons and what have you have it conveying much more, up to full telepathy.
Communication is the biggest drawback of medieval life relative to modern life (yes, I'm placing it even above sanitation and disease). According to a book I read, the best a message could do in a day was 50 miles, and that was using fast ponies and relay stations of the royal East Roman postal service through developed areas like Anatolia. Contrast thi against something like a World War 1 era carrier pidgeon, which could travel 200 miles and flew 50 miles per hour through hostile territory (less vulnerable to interception, though still vulnerable). So I think a limited range telepathy and carrier pigeons are fine. Especially because we don't play as a single unified party, but tend to split up
>>55253Sounds real goddamn easy to disrupt non-magical messages in this universe. Takes 1 round to summon a hawk to kill a pigeon, even if it were trained to avoid archers; even a rogue could do it with a wand. You can usually forget solo travel unless your sending an experienced Ranger; actually, that makes for a great campaign setting.
That's actually why marathoners were held with such respect in Greek society: it's dangerous delivering messages, even if you use a cipher key.
>>55254Yeah, but that's true of any physical way of sending a message. Like you could almost as easily kill a human riding on a fast horse. Just dig a hole in the path (and he'll have to follow a path) that he doesn't see and bam, the horse is lamed and the message won't be delivered. At least a pigeon is hard to see, can take multiple paths, is a hell of a lot faster, and you don't necessarily know it's coming.
"It's the Dark Ages. Life sucks for everyone"
Thank's for reminding me of the Star Card Tracy's faggot. Torc's 20 CHA should come in handy someday
>>55257I'd forgotten about it too desu
>>55256Magic missile
>>55257But Trump could have really used an extra 2 charisma....
>>55259Both of Torc's classes require high charisma
>>55260But Trump needs precisely 2 more charisma as a necessary condition for everything in the Epic levels
>>55261There are lots of ways to do that, let Torcuil have his goodies. Fuck me, I should prolly bake
>>55261Why did you put that point into Str?
>>55262Okay... And yeah, you should
>>55264Because he is a Warrior, and Strength affects both his attack bonus and his damage, so he needed high strength, and plus he had an odd numbered score. I put two points into Charisma
pssssssst, Trump's faggot has a "thing" about odd numbers
>>55265Good point, although you do have those buffing Spells, and the benefits of Smite Ebil would've probably overridden anything you might've needed the Str for.
It'd be wiser to put everything into Char from now on. You'll want it for ebin feats and more potent Smites.
>>55268Well, Smite Evil is very limited (only four uses a day under the 3.5 paladin) and the charisma bonus only applies to attack rolls, but not damage, when damage is what is most needed to stay competitive, and the strength bonus applies to
every damage roll. There are a couple feats from the Complete Warrior, however...
