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,....
1264 replies and 90 files omitted.
Uhm, there's no merchants to kill, for starters.
Sorry, OS was updating
Lenos is here and gm said to say he is here but he is talking to much so his laptop keeps going to sleep
So I left it open for a bit to see if anyone wanted to volunteer anything for consideration to or with Baz.
>>55924Ooh ooh!
Trumpaladin looks at Baz
"Do you have any idea what that was about?"
>>55922Hi Lenos.
>>55924Tracy left when she realized that there was no cake, and because she's not into clowns.
She's currently back on the trail.
Flash Sentry did nothing wrong!
>>55926Hey tracy
Lenos snores lowd enough to wake himself up in the bar at the tower
But anyhow, I left the continuation of the banquet pretty much open for discussion. Tracy could then have conversed with the Entertainment minister, and I apologize that I was not more insistent. Additionally, Trump, Infernius, and even Torcuil (soon?) could interject. Additionally, Baz himself may have answers to questions.
>>55930Oh, I was actually expecting everything to blow up, so I took Sparkle and left, since he probably couldn't be revived, and neither could her equipment.
>>55930Excellent. To Baz
"Has he... done that before? What did he want?"
>>55932How nice of you to be so considerate your own equipment
>>55935Well, when you say it like that I sound like a cowardly rogue; but yeah, that's what I did.
>>55936Ur name
So am I assuming no one wants to offer any information to Baz? Anything at all?
>>55937I was going to inquire the Minister of Entertainment about horse shows, but I guess it's a little late for that...
>>55938Not at all. This is precisely the time or it. I forget the Entertainment Minister's name tho.
>>55937>offer information to BazUh, oh yeah
"We were attacked recently by air pirates, who flew an airship with a magic stone to keep it aloft, and with advanced cannon armament. Do you know anything of this?"
>>55938Maybe she is curious if her husband and best friend survived, per chance?
>>55939Since it looks like I won't be able to hunt ogres, Tracy back discreetly, after not having heard any explosions.
>>55942Goes back
She's outside the building.
>>55941She would've known if he were dead or injured.
>>55940"I don't. Sparintenar had disavowed and distanced its self from all pirates before I became a part." he replies.
>>55945"I see. Do you know what he meant by 'causing a fuss'? I can see Sparintenar has not been quiet under the Court City, but who else is opposing them, good or evil?"
>>55945Tracy suddenly pops her head up from underneath the Minister of entertainments table.
"So, how'd the show you planned with TayTay at the capital go?"
>>55944Speaking of dead or injured lenos appears with a resounding crack and lobs a blob of fine material that hums earily towards trump and hollers "catch its unstable and i cant fix it"
>>55946"I don't know what that could mean, but as far as opposition to him and his rule, that begins at the Silwall"
>>55949"The Silwall? What is that?"
[1d20+15 = 23]
ROLLING!!!!
>>55953+5 base +5 divine grace +4 resistance +1 luck
>>55954I don't think resistance applies to a reflex save,... that sounds more like a will save modifier,... I'm seeing a 19 roll.
The strange object distorts in midair as it sails toward Trump, and upon reacong a range of about a foot, ruptures ourwards as a viscous green goo, which thoroughly covers his front-side and most of his sides.
>>55958"Well that test is a failure"lenos teleports back to the forge in the tower
"What just happened" says the goo covered Paladin
I wonder how much time it'd take to make Tracy's chain Dance again...
>>55961Its stinky. Like 2 day-old, dead and rotten skunk.
And the whole procession of military erupts in at first nervous, and then group and joined laugher with even a few whistles and hoots to accentuate the comedy and comaraderie.
>>55963Trumpaladin uses create water to create a shower to wash the gunk off
>>55964"Gentleman, now that you've had your fun, can you tell me what this "Silwall" is?"
>>55966If he's not going to say anything, can I go find those ogres?
>>55965kek, almost liek Trump is addressing GM and LF
Note the perimeter of locales designated Sil along the map
>>55966Ooooh, ur right, and u have dubs. "A frightful mess I'm afraid!" he sys worriedly.
>>55971"Well Taylor hasn't been heard from in weeks, and we already have a delinquent contract!"
>>55970"Five cities. Indeed. Who are they, and why do they oppose him?"
>>55972"What kind of contact?" she asks, nonchalantly
>>55975Try 7, if u count Silwood and Wulfsil
Torc looks around and rubs his eyes
"huh? where am I again?"
"And why is there no cake?" Tracy says to nobody in particular, cursing her unpredictable cravings.
Just for the record, bloating up won't impede her dexterity, will it?
>>55977"Incredible. Are they united as one?"
>>55979Well, she's pregnant....
>>55978"At a 'party' with no cake. You missed the clown."
>>55981"Clown and no cake? This is a shitty fookin party"
>>55973"Squirrel how you have intelligence?"
>>55978"Sprtania"
>>55981Is she near?
"I can get you some cake, pony"
>>55983Trumpaladin gives a nasty look at Infernius, like he just said something racial insensitive in public
>>55979Not immediately
>>55978Its a banquet, still, though the part are acting more somber than the surrounding military.
>>55980"I don't know. They have always repelled our involvement, as we are within the Emperor's land. Perhaps they might reconsider if you presented yourselves,... or perhaps they might be incentivized?" Baz says with a slightly clever expression.
>>55984*doesn't acknowledge look*
>>55984*whirls around*
"Oh, that'd be so sweet of you, ~Flashy."
[1d20+19 = 20]>>55985"I see. What kind of 'incentive' do you have in mind? I'm guessing they have been able to repel the emperor"
>>55987HUGS!
>>55988Where'd that +19 come from?
>>55990"The Democrats are the
real racists"
>>55991+17 base attack, +2 strength. Same as a grapple, but it's a hug
>>55985Oh, still the banquet.
Would some magic tricks impress the crowd?
>>55985Tracy continues to ask the minister for details.
"... So.. just what do you guys do for entertainment around here?"
>>55992Can str make an attack more likely to land?
I thought you still have to land the touch attack before you begin the grapple.
Just wanna know for future reference.
>>55992"Fuck you, me real racist!"
>>55992"I can say something racist.
FUCK NIGGERS"
>>55996Kek
>>55997Uh, yes
Yeah, but the 3.5 system is freaking complex and it's a hug, not a real attack, so one dice roll
>>55985"I must say , I am very fond of walls, so tell me all you can about the sil-wall"
>>56003"Zebras should be burned"
>>56001>>55998"Am I going to have to disavow you on television or something?"
*sighs*
"I'm sure I'll hear about this on the New York Times..."
>>56005>>56007"Burn zebras, what what newyork times?"
>>56002Grapple is actually precisely the rule 4 hugs
>>55995"Well ordinarily we leave that to our contracted talent, but Ms. Swift hasn't shown hide nor hair. Additionally no one can remember the strange purple woman who adorns some posters that have been removed, but there is a lingering yet subtle feeling anticipation upon recollection. Basically, we do not contract the talent, so much as the talent contracts
us," he says, throwing up his hands apologetically.
>>56009>Purple woman"... Sounds familiar for some reason..
.. How do you organize these 'contracts'?"
>>56009>>55988>>56002>>56008"Pfft! Nothing more than a purveyor of Fake News from the legacy media. But very powerful"
>>56013"I was never a stock holder, so I never paid attention to such things. But it was a leftist propaganda outlet in what it produced"
>>56015"Hmm most jews are left leaning."
>>56011"Contractees typically apply with us independently. You dont," he hesitates, "... know a talent do you?"
>>56016Except when it's convenient to do the opposite.
Kikes always play both sides. That's why Neo-cons are all in Israel's pocket.
>>56016"It was something like 66%, with non-religious jews being the more likely to be marxists. Sort of like hispanics"
Torc eats, wishing he was somehhere else rather than this political banquet
>>56017"... I can do flips and whatnot... Never really performed before, but I noticed people gather sometimes while I practice my dexterity training.." Tracy says meekly
Just take the ship and go to Krenshall, m8.
"Well, You've given me much to think about Mr. Trump. I should like to speak with you again before you depart, about prospects and strategy. Until then, please make yourselves at hom," Baz says before tipping his helmet and leaving.
He didn't even eat, the cheeky bastard.
>>56023Um... is Renquist around?
>>56020I had expected he would/might go on to Krenshall desu
>>56019"Hmm strange. Do jews make up 66% of America?"
>>56018Yea i know all about the Trotskyites.
>>56028"Why so many own newspaper stock?"
>>56023I'll bet he has a whole log full of mixed nuts back in his private quarters.
>>56029"Do they own Newspaper stock? As I said, I didn't pay attention to that"
>>56022Well theres a bright fukking idea,
Stand up in the middle of a banquet with people Trump wants to make allies say "Eh, fuck this boring ass shit, I'm gonna go to the gnomes" kick open the door and stroll out...
Actually, can I do that?
>>56026I was, but I didn't know what was going on, or if Trump and Infernius wanted the airship to stay. But now I'm enacting my old motto
Fuck your planning >>56031"Thats what you just tell me."
>>56023Baz didnt want to know about the jews?
>>56032>can I do that?Nobody's stopping you
The world is your oyster.
>airshipInfernius has Utachit, and Brad has both his mounts.
>>56034Fair enough, fuck everyone's planning.
Torc jumps up, rides Mr. Snek out the door.
"Thank you for the wonderful time, but I have buisness to attend too"Torc then uses message on Trump
"Fuck your allies"
>>56032>stroll outI don't recommend the "Fuk u, ur bore" part, but yeah, you're not mandatory attendance. You caught the juicy bits anyhow.
>>56033Infernius never continued, and stuff happened.
>>56035"ASS!" Trumpaladin yells at the feminine man
>>56036Searches for Renquist
>>56037No one can hear it but Trump
>>56036>juicy bitsYou mean the fact that the fucking clown is back? Cause thats all I know about currently
>>56040That’s all that was significant that happened. The rest is drama, meta and not.
>>56040>>56041Yeah mostly, there were some teaser details about the 7 factions, but mostly "blah blah, gonna kill u n stuff"
>>56043You won't be saying that when we get to fight the half-fiend Tarrasque again.
>>56039The best part is, no one else heard Torc, so to everyone else you're yelling "ass" for no reason.
>feminineFucking rude
>>56041Ah.
When Torc gets back to the airship he sets course for the gnomes.
While on the
road sky, Torc takes his map and writes "boring as hell" next to spartaville
>>56043You can get fucked
Have fun defeating Kefka alone next time
>>56041What was Stix doing in the forest?
>>56046I want to kill something tonight..
>>56047He has been staring at a tree. The GM said something would happen there if he did, but nothing has yet to happen.
>>56049I thought I burned down that tree, dammit.
>>56043I never said that!
>>56045kek
>>56047He's currently investigating the tree that once held the Jew gold, and which was a congregation point for the Gibbers. Unfortunately, its not fully night in game time.
>>56052What does the minister say?
>>56051When did Slovania become a sorcerer?
>>56053I thought I posted, but he said something about Taylor being AWOL and how talents usually apply and shit. Wait, I did mention that,
you left it hanging on the purple-chick bit. Xp
>>56054As he nears the perimeter, the adjacent guards move to bar Infernius' passing. Baz stops. "Is there more, massive warrior?"
>>56056"Are you familiar with military-style horse shows?"
>>56045How do you do strikethrough text?
>tfw You don't need roads with an airship >>56058Like spoiler but use - rather than s
>>56056Trumpaladin approaches the defense minister
>>56057"No, our horses are for combat and utility purposes only. Why?"
>>56059this [ - ] and [ /- ] respectively and w/o spaces
>>56060Renquist smiles and nods at Trump's approach.
>>56062"Did you ever consider using the same practical skills you taught them in combat for performances?"
>>56062"These Sil towns that resist the empire, what are they like?"
>>56064"Combat skills for performance? Well that's silly!"
>>56065"And a hearty hello to you too."
>>56066"Hello indeed.Are things going easy?"
>>56066"Well, you train them to all jump and tumble on command right? All you'd need is a fancy mantle to put on them, and you have trained performers."
>I forgot to eat again today
Tracy gets up on two hooves and balances on her hocks lowered close to the ground and maintains a lifted position at a 45 degree angle from the ground, exercising great control, balance lower-leg strength.
"I'm rather good at the Levade.." she says, hoping it's recognizable just how hard and how long she trained her body just to be able to stand on two legs for a few minutes.
>>56071I once went a whole three days without eating even once in college.
>>56056"Yes me know it late but me would like to get a drink with you tomorrow and tell you about them."
>>56071As long as your doing ok and not starving yourself.
>>56068Night
>>56073"A drink. Yes. I'll take you up on that offer, and soon. For now, my determinations," he says not dismissively, and to a fair degree graciously and receptively. He does however, depart to figure out a bit about WTFEmperor.
>>56071._.
sad GM face >>56072"... Well, it's a big deal back in Equestria..." Tracy says glumly
>>56075Trumpaladin says to Renquist
"So has this been mostly a desk job for you recently?"
>>56075Can i talk to his guards about the jews?
>>56076Tracy continues to balance on her hind legs with her forelegs tucked evenly and balances on her forelegs for four jumps before letting her forelegs touch the ground once more.
"The Courbette." she says meekly
>>56080*sweating intensifies*
Tracy leaps into the air, drawing her forelegs under her chest, and at the height of elevation kicks out with her hind legs, achieving a position horizontal to the ground before landing on all four limbs at the same time.
"The Capriole." Tracy says, praying anyone around her is as impressed as she is with herself in learning the skill.
[1d20+30 = 49]>>56082I was just roleplaying to illustrate how Tracy would act if she were trying to impress someone.
Tracy finally attempts a series of unique acrobatic backflips and dance-like maneuvers.
Where the hell are you getting 30 from?
>>56083"My word, a 19," he says, impressed
[1d20 = 9]>>56082Rolling to redpill the romans about the jews.
>>56084GM said I could use Tumble and Dance at the same time for a combined performance.
I put 5 in dance, since it provides for useful feats.
>>56087Although, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to apply both ability modifiers to that, so subtract 3 points.
>>56086>9Nahhh
>>56087I tend to operate more off dice than modifiers, but yea
>>56087You had a 29 last time and I thought that was questionable.
It's bullsgit to just add together two different different skills at the same time anyways. Are you dancing or are you tumbling? Pick one, or divide the average of the two
>>56090You can use Tumble like Perform for the sake of entertaining a crowd, and it's not far-fetched to combine dance and flips in the same performance.
>>56091So average out the two if it's half dance and half tumble
>>56089My Knowledge religion is +20
>>56090>>56091Like TF said, there are some skills that are transferrable and can overlap. Its not a complete 1 to 1 always, but it gives perspective for me to illustrate or work from.
>>56094Knowledge is one thing. Ability to communicate knowledge is one thing, doing so as an unestablished outsider is another. No street cred bra.
>>56093
And don't just add on higher numbers everytime you do it faggot
And this is why combined checks are allowed, cuz I can't trust u faggots to separate a knowledge check from a diplomacy check, and u end up rolling a 2 for 1 Xp
>>56096*Infernuis goes and stews in his mediocrity in his room*
>>56100Try again tomorrow. One can't expect to inspire a multitude at once, one must work on them over time.
>>56085"It's mostly just for combat, but it can be fun, I guess.." Tracy say, a bit unsure
>pouts from extreme degrees of saltiness, mostly from unrelated things
>>56101Every time i try anything i fail.
>>56103*steals paladin*
>>56103He didn't appreciate the periwinkle pony's prancing?
[1d20+35 = 54]>>56101Trumpaladin tries to gather a crowd of party attendees and inspire a multitude at once to the truths of Footba
>>56078"Mosly no, though there is a degree of administration. I far prefer combat," he replies, sorry about the delay.
>>56107"Now has there been much combat recently? Who attacks Sparintenar?"
Just for the record, can I Intimidate an entire crowd at once too?
>>56106I dont know why i bother.
>>56110He's better at it, lets be honest, even the dice agree
>>56111checked
>>56109>>56102Tracy awaits a further response from the minister.
>>56109You've definitely tried it. I'm not sure if you'd need to sum the charisma checks or what
>>56113Well, it doesn't say I can't. It just says to roll the subjects' save.
>>56115It's a standard action to modify the attitude of a subject, just like Diplomacy.
