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 106 files omitted.
Tracy lets out a bored sigh, secretly hoping shit will break loose so she can stab shit.
>>55710Whatever happened there, it wasn't discreet...
*licks ear*
>>55711"If you're really bored little pony, we can kill time by checking out the beds"
>>55713"I think the tree rat is about to say something..." Tracy says, bored
Alright. So when I last had consciousness over the game, Baz had entered the scene. Its actually good that I did fade out, cuz I would have otherwise totally botched the scene. I'm going to resume play with his entrance, as it will specify and designate that Infernius does/did not have sufficient position/opportunity to "bite the squirrel", outside of deliberately maneuvering toward if that is his desire.
>>55718Give it a minute, I'm not sure everyone is in thread atm
>>55715Trumpaladin stands, claps, and above all, grins
Okay, he only stands or claps if other people are doing it (at least standing I think is traditional in western cultures) but he grins regardless
>>55721Yes, I'll go full cinema. It'll be that sort of scenario.
For the moment
https://youtu.be/7bzG8JQn-pIAs always, best at 1.25 speed
>>55722Now why didn't I ask this before? Before baz enters (because he probably needs to keep his eyes on Baz. or is that disreapectful? Never can tell with foriegn cultures) Trumpaladin takes a moment to note
which minister are in the room (defense, entertainment and so forth) seeing as he has met many of them and he wants to figure out what kind of banquet Sparintenar thought this was, and who they thought needed to be there or could be spared for it
>>55724Its a full reception banquet, similar to the previous one. Being militaristic, there is a certain public ceremony to their foreign relations.
What I mean by that is that there is a good 300 people in attendance, mostly in group formations by table areas. There is a raised podium area - only slightly raised - where are seated the various ministers and Baz himself, but Baz hasn't taken his seat yet.
>>55725Where is the Minister of entertainment?
>>55727Likewise on the raised table area. He in particular is looking to the party with visible anxiety, presumably because Taylor Swift did not make her arranged performance and has not been heard from. Court City was furious she did not appear for their celebration.
>>55728TayTay is probably out conquering the rest of the galaxy.
>>55728>The court city is having a celebrationThis I must hear more about
>>55730Any sign of Infernius?
>>55731The celebration is already passed, but Trump is welcome to inquire further.
>>55732Well, Trumpaladin tries to approach the people of importance, saying he has an urgent message for Renquist and for Baz that is best told personally
>>55732i meant the table with the ministers.
How far away is their table?
>>55733We'll get started in a minute, I'm holding out to see if Infernius shows up, since he wanted to bite Baz
>>55732Oh wait, we're still waiting for Baz to arrive. I mis interpreted that
>>55734Its sorta close I guess, as the party would be displayed prominantly and presently front and center.
>>55737And everyone is sitting? Are people sitting with one another?
>>55738Relatively, I mean I hadn't mapped it out expecting combat
>>55738*speaking with one another
I'm not at my best today...
>>55743You just showed up! Let me dramatize for a moment! e\\_/e
>ahemBaz enters the chamber to the sort of reception would expect of a military group who totally loves and appreciates its leader He pauses at the entrance and visibly sighs. Holding up a tiny squirrel paw, he waves the group to silence. He slowly walks up to the party, flanked and followed by senior officers.
>>55743So he's the one guy standing up in the room to approach the VIP while everyone else is sitting?
>>55745>>55744*Roman salutes* the squirrel.
>>55748He shifts his bazooka to his other hand, and returns the salute.
>>55748*cries tear, and gives a restrained salute to both Infernius and Baz*
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKhTk0IynHM >>55750>>55744>Baz enters the chamber to the sort of reception would expect of a military group who totally loves and appreciates its leader Infernuis knows baz isnt food now.
>>55750Sensing the significance of the moment, the whole room slowly, gradually, all stand and give the salute. No one says anything, no one makes an outward statement or indication, but everyone notices that one of the spartans has not returned, and those who have are deferring to Trump and co, as having determinate facts and details.
"Gentleman, and feisty lady (he says of/to Tracy). Let us dispense with pleasantries for a moment. Where is our man?"
>>55752[inaudible feisty pony noises]
"For him to be absent, and for there to be such a reception to inquiry can only suggest one thing. A Spartan does not just 'not show up'. His comrades do not say 'Ask the commanding officer' arbitrarily," he continues.
>>55752>>55755"You have missing man? Infernuis will help you find him."
One of the spartans got devourered
>>55752>>55755Trumpaladin stands
"Mr. Baz, I am sorry to report to you that a few days ago, Port Barry was attacked by a massive horde of Undead. This was evidently in retaliation for damage caused in an infiltration of the Court city when a member of our party was kidnapped and we sought to retrieve them. The Undead attacked in masses with zombies and giants lead by three lichs. However, a group of devourers entered through the Ethereal plane through a weak point in the center of the city
Your spartans showed precisely the initiative, courage, and aptitude in battle that IK would expect of a Spartan. They took up arms against the court city oppressors. And they held the line. They along with our Generals, Ghestapo, and Fight club slew many devourers and kept the city safe. But this came at a price. Several men of every faction did not merely perish, but gave mind, body and soul to in the fight, most especially Fight Club, but including Spartans. They are.... No more. But please do be assured, they demonstrated all excellence in fighting the undead and protecting the citizenry. For no man can ever truly die so long as his comrades live on to commemorate their deeds.
The Lichs and undead were repelled from the city with the help of your Spartans"
Trumpaladin looks down mournfully at appropriate moments
>>55756Now would be a good time to redpill them on liberal jews.
>>55762I hadn't considered this angle, but this angle
>>55761"I had expected no less. A Spartan only 'doesn't come home' when doing so would amount to cowardice, inaction, and a lack of honor. I am pleased to hear that these men of mine, of
ours, paid a noble sacrifice on behalf of innocents and in the face of terrible forces. I am grateful even. "To bear that which you do not believe you can bear, to spare others that same fate. To hone your mind, body, and spirit, so that they may be expended on behalf of our good people. That is what it means to be a Spartan." he says solemnly, which is responded to by a single, coordinated, and deafeningly-percussive "Huuuuah!" by the entirety of the surrounding room.
"There. Now that that's settled, let us enjoy ourselves a bit. I welcome any news, information, and ideas you may have."
>>55764Well, all 3 liches were jews
>>55765"Commander squirrel, have you heard of jews?"
>>55764For example.
>>55766This.
Most of the liches were left-leaning politicians. Tell them about the kikery in left-leaning organizations.
Infernius has the Knowledge Religion ranks to explain everything to them.
>>55765"Huuah indeed! My I approach to discuss details going forward. Strategic details"
>>55765Can Tracy speak with the minister of entertainment?
>>55769He's right there, its not 'approach' at this point.
Baz waves to some of his senior detail, who dispense with orderly directing the assembled soldiery to gather foods and noms. He remains motionless and beckons Trump to continue.
[1d20+20 = 26]>>55771I go talk to some of his honor guards about lich kikes and the jewish question.
>>55771Trumpaladin says this more silently, because he wants only Baz and maybe esential personnel near him to hear
"When the court city sent out an octohedron we penetrated it and withdrew. They destroyed it. But when it exploded.... we heard a laugh. An unmistakable, maniacal laugh. Kefka is back. I guess they have True Resurrection just as surely as we do"
>>55772You're not going to talk to him? Sorry, I neglected to mention he doesn't know the work "Jews", but I'm sure there are some defining characteristics he might appreciate and have experienced, given that (((rats))) are purveysive and Sparintenar doesn't toerate shenanigens.
>>55773"INDEED!"
The entire scene is pierced by Kefka's unmistakeable cackle.
https://youtu.be/koSnyw209gg >>55773"If Kefka was an ebin spellcaster, then he could have just used Eidolon to duplicate himself.
We could face two or even three Kefkas next time."
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gamV209yG48 >>55776Idk why I said that in character...
>>55774I thought he wanted to talk to trump.
>>55775"Hitler banishes you kikeka!"
>>55778Not exclusively, and he wouldn't object if he interjected, especially since he hasn't met Infernius (or Torcuil).
[1d20+24 = 36]>>55776>>55775>mfw I gave Kefka an ideaTracy activates her Ring of Spell Turning.
Rolling to Hide
I g2g for 5-10 mins
>>55775*concern*
>>55776"Where the fuck did you learn so much about whatever the hell you are talking about from?"
>>55780"Commander squirrel, me am Infernuis Sheriff of port barry. And me know the true force behind all evil of this world"
>>55783Everyone listening stops, including Kefka, who has materialized in a reclining position in midair above the party, with a puzzled expression on his face.
>>55782How does he know what True Resurrection is?
>'I read it in a library book: The Ebin Handbook.' >>55785Yeah keep the bullshit to yourself thank you
>>55784*casts miracle to kill kefka*
>>55787Tell us about the Jews first. That's more important.
>>55787By that description, you're using Miracle to duplicate a spell. Please choose the spell in question.
>>55789Also, as far as 9th-level Cleric spells go, Implosion is a better shot if you're just looking to kill something.
[1d20+35 = 51]>>55791Trumpaldin tries to convince Kefka that through the party's normal behavior (and Sparintenar's), he is furthering Kefka's philosophy of finding meaning through destruction
"Face the might of the wunderwaffe! Hahahaha!"
"You see Mr. Kefka? He's your splitting image. Maybe a bit less... able, but he understands"
>>55798Not even close. Kefka erupts in laughter at the attempt. "Oh please, I was most intrigued by what you were saying."
>>55798You can use it for up to 4 rounds.
>>55798Every fucking time reeeeeeee
>>55799"Oh? You expect me to believe that?"
>>55803He'd be jelly if he knew there were people in his court that were more ebil than him.
His reputation is at stake.
>>55803"Oh why so dour? I heard there was a feast of sorts," he looks to Baz. "You don't mind if I crash do you? I don't even require a seat!" he says, sitting in midair, but rotating along an axis that maintains facing everyone.
>>55806"I heard there was a celebration recently"
Trumpaladin is shaking , but he picks up a piece of bread and eats it
[1d20+21 = 34]
Rolling to Move Silently.
>>55807Baz is in a ready-stance, but he's not moving.
>>55808"Oh yes, that. I had hoped to lure one of you out to a trap and do horrible things to them. A pity,...." he laments.
"Well i expect some of these (((people))) have infiltrated your court."
