ITT Roleplaying
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,....

Sigh. 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.

Generally 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).

As 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.
