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,....

>>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
>>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
>>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.
