Thus we begin the 53rd Nuts thread. There'd be more, except I've gotten lazy and won't bake until threads are ~1500 posts now.
Its an RP thread based on core D&D rules (3.5e particularly). Anyone can shitpost, comment, or play as they prefer, though making a character does require a small bit of detail.
The party is currently almost totally divided. Not on philosophical or moral grounds, they're just not in the same place at the same time. Infernius is kidnapping Trump for some reason, who was headed to check out the Sil wall, which is a concept he's only recently heard of, but will probably like.
Tracy is headed to Cardashil to stab things and (maybe) get her previous stash of knives back from.
Stix is exploring the primeval forest, intent on finding Trollestia (?), while Torcuil and Snek - when they're not attacking one another - are taking the airship to Krenshall.
Thez hasn't been seen since learning that Kefka is still (again?) alive, which she seemed most emphatically not pleased to discover.
Its mid-week, so it won't shouldn't, but probably will get hairy until later. So then, go nuts.

Would a spellcraft check allow Torc to summon a bowling ball above someones head?
And if it fails would it appear above Torc's head?

“Indeed. Just got to make some steps to getting used to it.”
Stix pauses for a while, pondering if it would be safe to ask her a question.
“I hope you don’t mind me asking, but do you remember how you got here?”

You underestimate Torc's power...
Anyway, Torc tries to summon a coconut above Snek's head for his basic misunderstanding of common games.

I’m so confused! Stix entered the clearing... talked to Tracy, who I thought was by a river/creak and the grove was beyond that... what is the layout here?

Sigh. Okay, let me be very specific. Well into the forest is the gnarly tree that the gibbers inhabit. There used to be a stash of jew gold there, but that's long gone. From Stix' direction, this led to the edge of the clearing with the creek. This clearing is approx. the size of a football field. Beyond that is the grove where Tracy was chasing her tail, which I notice now Stix "walked to" in >>57006 so I suppose he is at/in the grove.
goddamn fast travel shit

Sorry GM... I’m still newfag and don’t get how to tell where I am spatially yet. o_o
I figured when I said I was walking toward the grove, I was moving while talking to Tracy. Sorry for my confusion.

No need to apologize, I should have been more descriptive with the environment. This is an area that Tracy extensively wandered, so I just reverted to my recollection.

Why the contention? Tracy and Infernius have both spoken of having a ranch. Perhaps not to one another (in meta), but that doesn't preclude him from seeking an animal.

Stix sits down and contemplates why the grove is here, why he felt like he needed to come here, who is Trollestia, and why is the blue horse so good at being scary?

We all feel like if we just go to some far off grove, when we get there, what we've been looking for will be there. We all make that mistake.

I guess you'll never know

Literally, because early in the game Tracy wanted to wander and explore. The gnarly tree came first, then the meadow, and then the grove, cuz I wanted Tracy to feel free and happy(?) for a moment

Well, Trumpaladin doesn't want to capture animals and carry them for three+ days, so I guess he either goes back to Sparintenar or onwards to Cardishore

I would've asked her what she was thinking about after that, but Tracy flew.
But yeah, it's always unnerving when the enemy just comes back after clearly being kill, especially because that entails that killing him again may just result in the same outcome.

Not yet. I deliberately neglected to complete that situation because I wanted to think about how to present and theme the interaction. Don't worry, I came up with a good one.

He's on her back? Okay then; where are they going?
Technically, he could guide her, but he couldn't actually force her movements.

I had envisioned it as like grabbing onto and trying to jump onto a running horse. Epic to watch but dangerous and not terribly likely to succeed. I'm not really sure where I was going with that... I guess mostly just to show that my character was still there

So last I checked, Trump wanted to go to the Sil wall, via the road to Cardashil, Infernius was kidnapping him but stopped to chase a dog, Stix is examining the area wondering about Trollestia, Tracy is running in circles nearby (with Trump riding, somehow) and Torcuil is headed to Krenshall with Snek on the airship. Am I missing anything?

Oh don't be a pussy. I don't mean I'm going to throw anyone to the wolves, I just mean I have compelling and/or entertaining story/game elements to introduce.
But right now I'm cooking chicken.

Alright. So Torcuil and Snek arrive at Krenshall,... there's really not much I can add to the antics they've shown so far. Do carry on.
Infernius on the other hand, carefully(?) approaches the dog he finds himself facing (hunting?). As he approaches, the dog wags its tail nervously, sniffing around, but doesn't run or attempt to flee. He gets closer and closer, with encouraging gestures and body language, and upon getting close enough he jumps to grab the dog.
Unfortunately, the dog disappears, and reappears a few feet away, wagging its tail much more vigorously.

Tracy and Trump get to the outskirts of Cardashil, the expansive and long lines ever-present. Those in the lines are as diverse, colorful, and over-the-top as you might expect from a group of talent seeking leeches. Did I say leeches? I meant bitches.
So license aside, Tracy has left the grove,yes?

Just looked it up on the D&D wiki:
Magical beasts are similar to animals but can have Intelligence scores higher than 2. Magical beasts usually have supernatural or extraordinary abilities, but sometimes are merely bizarre in appearance or habits.

Magical beasts are also more dangerous in battle than animals by default: their base attack bonus is always equal to their total hit dice + class level (if any), while an animal's is only 3/4 that.
Another difference is that animals are always neutral: because they're neutral, they're also considered to be less dangerous, because they'll just run without any strong motivation to fight. I noticed that most creatures that have neutral alignment generally have lower CRs than you'd expect for their hit dice and abilities (although they usually have a higher level adjustment), which is probably why no animal is ranked above 10 CR, regardless of its hit dice.
Only magical beasts have Supernatural abilities, but most animals have extraordinary abilities or special attacks.
