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,....

As Stix stands there wondering the significance of the tree, a weird sound slowly starts to resonate. Its night time by the way.
Its almost like a buzzing, but at the same time it sounds like a disorganized jumble of sounds. It seems to emanate from the tree, and is growing louder.

“Well... that can’t be good.”
Stix then tries to find cover, hoping that whatever is making the noise didn’t hear him.

Hastily attempting to conceal himself amongst the fallen leaves and debris, Stix watches as a series of tiny humanoids, no more than approximately 3-4" tall, start streaming from the tree in swarms. They collect together into large groups, that are constanly streaming, climbing, and jumbled together into masses that seem vaguely humanoid sized, each a swirling mass of constant tiny moving. Oh, and they're all gibbering at eachother unintelligibly.

He figures that swarms of creatures are not to be trifled with, so he attempts to sneak away in order to plan how he will handle the situation.

While he gets an excellent dice roll to start to withdraw, he IS surrounded by dead leaves and debris,... he'll have to be VERY careful to avoid alerting these,... things.

Tracy, having accomplished anything she would've wanted to try at the 'party', returns to the mountains.
She brings Sparkle, because Infernius would've forgotten to bring her (is it a he or a she?).

That means that as long as he's maintaining his stealth, he has a reduced movement rate without taking a penalty on his moving silently roll.

Tracy treks through the mountain trail, looking for the spot she last saw the ogre herdsmen.
.. That'd take a while though, although she does cut through the forest towards the mountains, because fuck roads.

"They're at a 'party' meeting with some important guys at Spartintar. The ceremony was pretty dry in my opinion. There was a clown though, although he wasn't exactly a pleasure to be around." Tracy says huffing and puffing after having run all the way from Sparta.
"Flashy is still talking with the ministers and whatnot, and the frogsummoner went to Krenshal. Pretty sure the bull's still there too."

"GIbber?" "Gibber gibber!"
Apparently, one of the masses heard something, because they increase in the intensity of gibbering, and they start to fan out from the tree.

He sets up his bow by digging one end in the dirt a bit. As you could imagine, bows are not a pony’s first choice in long range combat.

and could I set up a trap for them? Would that take a roll to set up, or only one when they activate it to see if it works?

Suddenly, the bow’s string snaps. “Damn, I didn’t bring spares with me either.”

He readies his dagger and watches their movement.

A double-weapon counts as two weapons, so it should be good for a pony who excels in fighting with two weapons but doesn't have the hands to use them.

The sound of breaking glass momentarily grabs Tracy's attention. Apparently Thez was not expecting this revelation, and seems to have dropped her beverage container.

Rangers are by default proficient in simple and martial weapons, light armor, and light shields.

Actually spot on. I imagine a pony would have an easier time with a staff-weapon than other types.

A Ranger, unless he chose archery instead, would automatically be skilled at fighting with two weapons. That's why I had Tracy give him the double-bane sword, since he could use it with his mouth while keeping all four hooves on the ground.

Thez' hand holding the pan of eggs trembles a bit, before calming visibly. She places the pan on the backburner (which isn't running cuz the eggs are done anyway. She turns and smiles at Tracy. "Thank you, I appreciate hearing this." <whoooof>

I think for the purpose of holding a single weapon, an earth pony's mouth should count as two hands.

Tracy, still uneasy, busies herself with with preparing a meal for her chicks.
It composed mainly of pan-grilled ground elephant meat, and crusts of multigrain bread. It's a fucking massive portion, and it fills-up her whole bag.
"Hello, my angels." Tracy says, as she moves the curtain to allow light to shine in and rouse the sleeping giants.

I had originally described Sammy to have a few silvery slate feather sticking out through gray fluff, and bunny to have a couple golden brown feathers peppering her yellowish fluff; but I thought I heard you say something about colors. I may have dreamed it, so idk anymore.
However they look, they're adorable beyond measure. Tracy put matching bows on them.

Spooped... that’s never good.

Stix try’s to throw a rock away from where he is hiding to see if they react to it.
