Its that RP thread again! Spectators can shitpost, new players can try it out with little/no investment, and established players need no explanation.
We return as most of the party is either in Sparintenar preparing for a swank banquet - a custom among the Spartans - or speeding towards; except Thez. ;_;
Our newest player Stix is exploring the surrounding forest area, as is his proclivity as a ranger.
Tracy, speeds toward Sparintenar at full speed for some reason unknown to GM at time of OP.
Thez is at the Sticky Wickett, having brought Bones along to have a mostly one-sided conversation, accented occasionally by >doot
Game is temporally not set to fire off at a particular point, but last thread passed 2nd bump so,....
1364 replies and 101 files omitted.
>>56221Don't mind, just trolling. Sorry, divegrass makes me want to PBP commentate
>>56222You streaming the divegrass?
>>56223I tried yesterday, but Rabbit can't handle smashcast
>>56214Tracy takes a few minutes to watch her birds eat, and clean their fluff and checks their talons for any growth abnormalities.
She opens the windows and blinds for a half hour to let them have some fresh air and light while she grooms them.
After letting them play around for a bit, she refills their pool-sized water dish, and hushes them back to sleep, which they do so immediately because the >2 Int chicks fall asleep as soon as it gets dark.
>>56225*channels divegrass energy*
>>56226After taking an extensive amount of time taking care of her birdies, Tracy goes into town restock at the stores to fill her bag with mundane equipment (a few tanglefoot bags, some vials of alchemist fire, a few thunderstones, crossbow bolts etc.)
After that, she returns to the trail she left off in the mountains.
Okay, so Stix is making his way from the tree, but the Gibbers have also realized that there may be something in the area, which they're looking into. They're not particularly coordinated, but they are beginning to sweep the area.
>>56229What's the DC to track a herd of cattle after one day? Shouldn't be high.
[1d20 = 15]>>56230There is not much choice here for stealth. Stix attempts to sneak pass any gaps in the unorganized search
>>56232That'll work. In spite of scrutiny, he's able to increase distance and give himself some breathing room. If he's detected now, he can't be immediately attacked, and he has opportunities (to attack, specifically, if they close distance).
And its /mlp/'s turn in divegrass.
[1d20+6 = 15]>>56231Tracy moves into the clearing where she last saw the cattle and looks around to determine the general direction the herd moved in.
She also lets Sparkle sniff around the place.
Rolling Sparkle's Survival check, because I can't remember how many ranks Tracy had.
>>56237Oh, I feel like a bit of a dunce there..
Can Tracy make out the direction the cows moved in?
>>56238There are many directions. They've been up and down the valley a number of times, in a variety of directions.
MLP game is on btw
>>56240IKR, I put it on repeat some times
>>56240Tracy's ears tick back and fourth like a metronome, as she takes a moment to focus her energy on the game in the next plane.
>>56242Tracy, sitting cross legged beneath a tree, makes a toothy grin.
>>56243*grinning intensifies*
A dark aura rises off of the meditating pony.
"All is right in the world."
>>56233Now Stix waits for his chance to attack.
Tracy continues to search around the valley. She climbs the mountain to try to get a better view.
It really shouldn't be this satisfying to watch virtual divegrass players combat one another.
It is tho.
RAAAWR MLP
yes, I'm done for now
>>56245So, is he taking a stationary position then?
[1d20+19 = 30]>>56246Spot check, to look for anything of interest in the valley.
[1d20+35 = 43]
Enough of this Soccer Heresy!
FOOTBALL MATCH - GENERALS VERSUS SPARTANS!
Rolling for hype
I could swear, Diplomacy checks to change the attitudes of NPCs only apply to one subject at a time.
>>56252Yes. Diplomacy checks - unless otherwise specified - indicate a target of one individual.
>>56253Kek yes
[1d100 = 97]
Also, rolling 1d100 to see wherever Tracy's blind searching leads her as she wanders around the landscape in search of the ogres.
>>56254Can I use my Tumble/Dance check to sway the attitudes of an audience too, like with a normal Perform check?
>>56257Why the fuck are you allowed to just add the two together as well as both the Charisma bonus
and the Dexterity bonus, and why does the modifier get high every time you do it?
>>56258Because I kept forgetting to apply bonuses the first couple times I did it.
Upon consideration, it would not be correct to apply both ability modifiers.
>>56254*gets out of Spartan bed*
*looks for thez*
*realizes shes not here*
*sighs*
*walks out the door of the room*
>>56260It was your idea for her to stick around Port Barry
>>56250>>56256Was Tracy able to find anything whilst exploring the mountains/valley?
>>56261I know, he still misses her though.
I was half-hoping to come back to some kind of massive catastrophe in the Port.
Okay. Divegrass is over for the season, so no more distractions (none? NO NONE!)
>>56268Not yet,....
>>56269*Divegrass channeling stops*
Wait, /cm/ v /an/, my bad
Still MLP ownded, which is all I cared about
>>56269What are the sils, and are they ready for some Football?
>>56272The Sils consist of a wall alliance, against the Imperium of Kefka. They serve as a hostile perimeter to Kefka and his rule, as an outside faction.
>>56273fascinating
Trump to renquist I guess, however this is done in character:
"What are these sils like? What is their culture, and why do they oppose him?"
>>56274The traces of the dire cows are hard to determine, outside of a spot check. They could be totally disambiguous, or they could be readily interpreted. Hard to say atm.
>>56277Baz is staying behind, Infernius has plenty of opportunity to interact
>>56278"Hey commander squirrel. You want to go get drink?"
>>56248>>56249Stares at the creatures as they walk aimlessly trying to search for what spooped them.
>>56279Baz has a stern look on his face, observing the procession of military forces and such. He's a bit distracted when Infernius makes his offer.
"What? Hmmm. I don't normally, but I suppose a slight decrease in decorum won't have a lasting consequence. I accept."
>>56281He was hunting Gibbers, and now is being hunted by Gibbers
>>56276Tracy continues exploring the mountains, deciding to check out the other side of the range.
AGAIN WITH BIRB! Tracy, your birbs are doing well
>>56282"Commander, me am glad you accepted. So what is name?"
>>56288"My name. You want to know my name." he says dryly, and with a slight note of irritation.
And the last match is over, which would have been totally unexciting, except for Birb
>>56289"Nah its okay. Me dont know alot about Sparta, would you mind telling me about military victories that you have won?"
>>56293Hella. WTG birb. Will vote Tracy's Birbs for next Mlpol Generals Cup
Okay, NOW I'm done with divegrass nonsense, which was totally worth it, but has rapidly expired.
Tracy crosses the mountain range.
>>56296>military victoriesFug.
Baz regails Infernius with tales of Military victories
>>56298"Wow thats amazing, Commander squirrel. Me liked the part when you were surrounded by ogres."
>>56299K. Fyi, /mlp/ v /int/ next time
>>56300Yeah, sorry, I balked at coming up with random war stories
... part of the trouble is that all his stories end with "And then I blew him up"
>>56303Oh come on, you can write that out and roleplay it
So yes, I have been delinquent. Sue me.
Stix is currently attempting to extricate himself from an encounter with Gibbers (4 of 'em!). Elsewhere Trump is something of a celebrity amongst Sparintenar, since he's the only player (since Thez >_<) who has gotten a 20 on their w/e check. They love him, and can't get enough.
Tracy, managed to make her way back to the tower in spite of all the to do, while Thez is thoroughly pissed to hear that Kefka is still alive. Torcuil prepares to venture to Krenshall, which could be an entirely useful OR useless venture, depending on how he plays it.
Infernius is currently bantzing with Baz, and are discussing /pol/-related.
>>56305I both want to attack them, and want to get out in one piece... so I may have to flee if this starts to go south...
>>56308>ifStix currently has the upper hand. He's a short way outside their current positions, he has not been directly detected, and otherwise has initiative.
Of course, while there's only 4 of them, each 4 represents like 80 little tiny fuckers. Tough call.
>>56305Tracy is still exploring the mountains.
>>56305>Torcuil prepares to venture to Krenshall, which could be an entirely useful OR useless venture, depending on how he plays it.Which wil have to wait, see you later tonight
[1d20 = 3]>>56309See... that would have been useful information. Time to book it till next time!
Stealth on out of here and get back on track to elf sounding place.
[1d20+19 = 30]>>56310Rolling Spot, to catch sight of anything on the other side of the mountain
>>56305Trumpaladin goes around preaching the word of Football, and asking how they'd like a Stadium for their coming games
>>56306You don't like the talk about it?
>>56311K, stay sexy. I'm gonna keep using that btw, so do it.
>>56312kek
>>56316So this
Suffice it to say, that upon determining to vacate the premises Stix inadverdently broke a stick (on the ground, and with his foot). While he has the lead, his current adversaries are suddenly directly aware of him.
Tracy gets bored and looks for something to kill.
"Ugh, this is why I prefer the city.." she grumbles
>>56309"Commander squirrel, can you tell me are there any (((suspicious)))(((people))) that live in town?"
[1d20 = 19]>>56319>foot and not hoofTime to see who is faster! Roll to see if I can’t outrun these freaks.
