RP/Shitposting thread - D&D 3.5 base rules, subject to interpretation, review, and elaboration. Open for all to spectate, bantz, shitpost, or full-on play.
We begin this thread in anticipation of the weekend, where most of the party is gradually infiltrating the grand city of Cardishore. With disguises varying from an Emu, Barney the dinosaur, and a mexican clown,... as well as Fae who is entirely without costume, Trump, Tracy, and Infernius try to get a handle on whatever the hell is going on in Cardishore now or in general.
Meanwhile, Torcuil is working to get that damn cannon fixed on the Stray Cat. Meanwhile Stix returns (to the tower?) with not many answers, an over-sized acorn, and definitely no other surprises.
Meanwhile Thez,... poor forgotten and alone Thez who is babysitting the port so that none of the party's enemies see their departure and think "Wah ha ha ha! With them gone I will destroy their precious city!" I mean she gets it,... but still.

>>58944"Yeah, sorry about that. I got bored and so I decided to scrimmage with the troops. I figure "why wait for someone to attack to test our defenses, when I can just pretend to attack and test them myself?". I hadn't expected your arrival. Don't worry, its just ki-fire. It won't burn you, and at the moment I'm using it non-lethally."
>>58945Yes. IDs were already distributed during the application process. Though not detected (yet), Trump, Tracy, and Fae have targets on their backs.
Excuse me, Trump, *Infernius, and Fae
>>58946What's Tracy's Use Magical Device skill?
>>58949But is there a place to repair IDs?
>>58949Stix is still shaken from the attack.
“Listen... apparently your supposed to be a friend... but get this through your head before we continue. Me and fire... DONT MIX. Got it? I don’t know why, but I freak out when I get near it.”
>>58951Shit.. I don't have my notes atm. I think it was only 13.
Can she take 10 on that check?
>>58954Thez crosses her arms in front of her and cocks her head to the side while looking at him thoughtfully. "Lenos will be a problem," she off-handedly remarks. Then directly, "Fair enough, though for reference," she says holding her hand out and drawing on the purplish energy, "You can see its more of an aura than actual fire, it just looks like fire from a distance," and from up close, Stix can see that it has more of a shape and movement of fluid than fire, though with observably different properties as far as gravity and localization.
>>58956Now where can Trump find an agency representative?
>>58956He still takes a step back.
“My brain doesn’t seem to care right now what it technically is... it is still telling me to... well... best not say that. Anyway, my name is Stix.”
>>58952If there are, this is unknown to Trump
>>58955Yes, that's fine
>>58958Well, last I checked Infernius was attempting to heckle the person running the show. Did you want me to not overlook that part? Is he still flying or has he decided to land?
>>58960Trump walks around through the crowd and around the perimeter, looking for the equivalent of an Apple Store
>>58960After fiddling with the device for a long period of time, and guessing various pet-names, Tracy tries to access any information on the device in an attempt to steal Gorplemonger's identity.
>>58959"Pleased to meet you Stix, I'm Thez," she thinks for a moment and chuckles, "Isn't filly out looking for sticks?" shakes her head, "Nevermind. Anyway, I can promise that you'll have no more firey-whats-it from me, but you should probably not mention that,... quirk,... in front of the short, shiny-haired guy. He's a dick. He's the reason that there's that "firetrap" sign in the hallway.
>>58962That device
is gorplemonger's identity
>>58961I should warn you, most of the Shazbots are around the perimeter. Additionally, there don't seem to be stores in this area, though there are gates which undoubtably lead to other areas. If one has an ID that is.
>>58963Obviously or covertly?
>>58964Can she find anything about Gorplemonger? Where he lived, what level access he had?
>>58964Heads to the center and tries to find someone who looks like they are not a new arrival
>>58964“I see. Well, glad to meet you Thez. Do you happen to be from the tower as well?”
>>58966Use Symbol of Stunning and spraypaint a swastika on your chest.
>>58970~Yay! Infernius rolled a 20!
>>58973On a roll that will attract attention to himself and get himself killed
>>58974Oh not
just killed. I'm having to think hard here, cuz that 20 could go a number of ways. It could be a spectacular success or a magnificent failure and considering his choice of action that could be equally bad or good.
>>58974He rolled for a flashy entrance, not necessarily to get himself killed.
>>58979What happens to people who are present without IDs?
>>58977REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
DELET.
So I'm figuring that since Infernius was going for as flashy as possible, and he rolled a 20, he somehow magnificently times his arrival with the climax of the song, which the audience generally receives as being part of the show. Additionally, a chorus of "INTRUDER DETECTED" is heard from throughout the crowd, and he sees about a dozen shiny metal mailbox-looking things headed his way on the ground.
>>58969"Yep. The glassy-walled rooms? Same. You know, you're like the 5th pony I've seen here, where before there weren't any."
>>58987Surely they didn't think the performance was over?
Atop a gilded lioness rides a shimmering man with sword drawn, charging towards the nearest Shazbot
>>58988"Rock You Like a Hurricane" plays, and Trumpaladin casts Eagle's Splendor upon himself
https://youtu.be/CGfKi6kpdTQ >>58987“Maybe the tower is less picky now?”
He chuckles
“So, this port is under attack a lot?”
>continues munching on popcorn
My money's on Infernius dying first, then Trump. Tracy will be the only one to survive
[1d20+31 = 51]
[3d20 = 56]
Pounce on Shazbot. Sunder nozzle
>>58992"That's an understatement. Its complicated, but the short version is that the Port is upsetting alot of established and entrenched groups and structures. It used to be a run-down pirate port, but now its a thriving and emergent socio-economic power, particularly because we - yourself included - have used our abilities to aid and develop the community. There's plenty of people who are upset, threatened, and not to pleased about this. I think the place has been attacked 3 times? 4 times? 5? Its been hairy."
