This thread continues the ongoing RP/Shitposting game. Its based on D&D 3.5e core rules with exceptions made for just about anything. Its essentially a play-by-shitpost RPG with structural additions. Games get hairy on Saturdays, but weekends in general; weekdays are for meta and shitposting.
Most pressing of the situations is that involving Infernius, Trump, and Tracy; the former finds himself being surrounded by robots, while flying robots seem to have cut off his escape. As nimble as Uatchit is, his situation doesn't look good. Trump has fled outside the Cardashil wall, and his pursuit disengaged to secure the perimeter of the city. In short, Cardashil is now a Panopticon. Meanwhile, Tracy - er, a praying mantis who is clearly identifiable as Frank (or any of 3 other identities) - is amongst a throng headed for the teleportation gates along the perimeter of the park area.
Oh yes, and those grenades. One of the robots has char marks and scraping on it.
Meanwhile Stix, Torcuil, Snek, and Thez are having an otherwise constructive conversation in the Tower.

>>61401K, that'll work
"Not the first backflipping monster truck we've had here, but you have a bit of style. Let's talk," she says, gesturing toward a more open and less populated area of the park.
>>61402>Not the first backflipping monster truck we've had hereREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>61402Any response to questions about buying branding or advertising? Should I roll something?
>>61402*picks up brad*
*drives towards open area*
>>61404Thats why she's inviting both to converse
>>61406Shit, did she just address Tracy directly?
>>61405>>61406*Acts like a cool as fuck black man*
>>61408Don't compare orangutans to niggers.
>>61410[nervous monster truck noises]
[1d20+5 = 13]>>61396And they left and saw Stix, and Snek went with him.
"Do you like superior siege weaponry?" Torc inquires
And Snek makes a spot check for Stix's dagger
>>61411"Everyone's nervous before their first contract, girl. The experience is exiting, nerve-wracking, and over way too quick. Like the first time you have sex. You'll be fine girl"
>>61412I wasn't done narrating that bit,...
Oh FFS, Stix has his dagger!
>>61415No need to apologize, its just minutiae
*rolls into next area*
How many follow them?
>>61416What would me the spellcraft DC to cast modify memory?
>>61417A handful of those soldier-looking guys
>>61418I'm not sure I follow
>>61418Only Assassins and Bards get that.
I shouldn't have taken those BG levels... >>61419Can I make a spellcraft check to get a one time cast of modify memory?
>Wants bard levels harder >>614191. did she start off with any business professional looking people around (agents, lawyers, whatever) and 2. are any of them following?
>>61422Yes, I just mentioned that. She has a group of guard looking types, in case you guys get murder-hobo
>>61423You mentioned she brought guards, I just want to know if she had people who would be relevant to business work but then did not bring them along
>>61416To The Lady
"We in two cities now. We lookin' to expand. But I needs branding for that. Now you see I can do more than a bit of that myself, but I have meetings to go to and board rooms to attend. I can't do all of it myself. That's what we need here."
>>61426DON'T SPOIL THAT. Make it ambiguous as to whether we 1. are about to sign an awesome contract or 2. have been found out and will be murdered
\r
>>61428>spoil"Well I'm willing to listen to your proposal," she says coyly
>>61428Non-combat doesn't necessarily mean not in trouble.
I just mean, if Tracy starts stabbing it will be difficult
>>61429"You see now I'm runnin' a conglomerate. I'm lookin' to buy and to sell. I'm with a sports association. Broadcast in hundreds of homes o'er in Port Barry and Sparintenar. But I also got partial ownership in a half dozen other industries or so. Steak houses, Leather hand bags, even paper. Now, we can and do use our own sports programming to help our other industries. but I'm lookin' to diversify. Decouple the two. So I need performers to merchandize leather bags. I need television shows to advertise in. Movies to place our steaks in. Hell, I need performers to play at half time. Now not all at once, I think you can tell, but I'm lookin' for... closer relations"
>>61414Not sure what gets you upset at me not knowing that. Especially when I said I didn’t have it like two weeks ago and you said nothing to me
>>61434"It sounds like you're negotiating from a position of weakness then," she says with a smirk
>>61429"I think I'm bein' a bit too broad here. A bit too much all at once. Let me be more specific. I'm'a have an opening of the branch in Sparinenar real soon. Those boys down there would appreciate a good half time show. Got any one who could perform?"
>>61436"You think you've got the only entertainers on this continent? Just my trusty Steed alone could probably do better than half of 'em"
It'd be a stretch to juggle and do backflips at the same time while disguised, wouldn't it?
>>61441I guess a monster truck wouldn't be able to juggle.
>>61437"The only ones worth mention, yes."
>>61447"Oh really now? What'cha got for us"
>>61448"I didn't say they were for you, I said we have them. You
must be new here."
>>61447"Why ain't you got the Sparintenar market cornered? When I got there they were craving the beautiful Brunet performer with a .45 from a space nazi empire"
>>61449"I did say I was from o'er yonder, didn't I?"
>>61450"We don't deal with Sparintenar, Emperor's orders."
>>61451"Now who do you deal with?"
Trumpaladin begins to ponder if he needs a lawyer to examine all of the relevant regulations
>>61409This.orangutans can actually be taught stuff.
>>61454Um.... Trumpaladin asks where Cardishore is legally permitted to sell its talent
>>61455"Don't concern yourself with that, trade secrets and all." she says with a wink. "So tell me, and don't be shy,... when did you break in?"
>>61456"Hard to say. Bout 30 minutes ago or so. Didn't go through security since I don't trust being disarmed. Wanted to see what was going on myself. Heard you say you were robbed by the same folks who robbed us a couple weeks back though"
Takes a few steps towards Tracy
\r
>>61458"You must realize Mr. Trump, your reputation preceeds you," she says, waving her arm lazily. "And yes, there have been incidents. What of it? You have no jurisdiction here or elsewhere in the Empire, and even talking to you could be disastrous. I would be well within my position to have you executed you know."
>>61459Trumpaladin now moves forward, and leans in towards the Lady
"You're afraid of him too, aren't you?"
>>61460"Afraid? Heavens no! Cardashil does
more than its due diligence in appeasing the emperor." she laughs
>>61461"Does the Emperor do the same to appease Cardashil?"
>>61462"If you mean allowing us to operate without interference, then yes."
>>61463"How do you operate, exactly? I've only gotten a bit of feel for the place"
>>61464"Again, trade secrets. We have contracts and agents all over the world. Cardashil is a household name, you should know."
>>61465"Anyways, I guess I may as well be frank with you. We only want two things. Our rogue came by here around a month ago. When she did so, she checked in several items with security, mostly various daggers and an efficient quiver. She would really like those back. And earlier today, you saw our Bull come in and give a performance... and was promptly burnt to a crisp by the guarding robots. I can't say he's the brightest. Anyways, we would like his corpse back, and his equipment. We saw it scooped up by cleaning robots and carried off through the gate. I'd like the chance to resurrect those 4 hipsters our rogue caused to die as well. This is all we want, nothing further.
But I imagine you're more interested in what we can do for you. Now, your museum was broken into, correct? How would you like to find those bastards, track 'em down to the source, and have them all exterminated? And to have your stolen goods back as well. Or to say the same better, how would you like it if we did the work for you? We'd love the chance to get back the gold they stole from us. All we need is more leads on their location, then we can do the rest.
And if you're looking to defy the emperor's prohibitions on performing in Sparintenar,
that offer is still on the table"
[1d20+27 = 44]>>61463I'm'a try a sense motive on her statements about tolerating the Emperor
>>61466>>61470Yeah, I know, I neglected to respond but I'll do tomorrow
>>61466REEEEEEEEE don't tell her!
>>61480In my defense, it was half past midnight where I am.
>>61480Vril was never that great at GET-sniping.
>>61482I actually kind of miss vrill.
>>61483Me too...
He didn't deserve all the crap they gave him for being a "flagfag". It kind of makes me wish I'd said more to encourage him..
>>61484That started go come after me, but i told them to fuck off and so did everyone else.
I actually wish i would have defended him to.
>"I can kill her now, right?"
[1d20+25 = 37]
Sleight of Hand to conceal kunai.
>>61490Forgot to add the +2 modifier for wearing a cloak.
>>61493I was RP-ing her usual response. I didn't
actually intend to kill her.
>>61494K, just checking. Thought she was going to start stabbing things before I even got in thread.
>>61496She's just getting ready.
>>61496*pets tracy in dream to calm down*
>>61499I bet Tracy is a hoot with Madlibs
So since Stix has his dagger, something GM just threw on him long after stating he forgot it... but I digress Stix would not have left the tower, not met Death, and would be looking around the place to figure out the layout
>>61503Well I gotta wait for a response from Death before saying if they'll meet again.
I guess Snek is third Wheeling then
>>61507*hugs snek like teddy bear in dream*
>>61496*Tracy patiently waits patiently*
What's this area of the city look like btw? Residential zoning?
>>61510I'm so not starting yet. I've got stuff going at the moment
>>61506THANK YOU>>61503Okay, fine, he
doesn't have his dagger. I figured since it was still in plain sight, not egregiously out of the way, and
obviously important to him that he might have snagged it at some point, for simplicity's sake. I appreciate that the player dictates the character's actions, but characters with established personalities can be said to do things consistent with their personality. For example, when off "camera" Thez frequently practices martial forms and maintains her conditioning. I don't say "She's doing this now", that would just be the context from which she is arriving "on" camera
>>61513I see. Thank for explaining this. I will know for next time.
I seriously don’t understand why everyone is so mad about this. It is just something to do while I have literally nothing going on... >>61516I'm not mad, I'm just confused. I thought he wanted the dagger, so I would let him have it back. Hell, I could have one of the citizens find it, return it to the Gestapo, the Gestapo would then report to whoever was in the tower (which is Thez at the least), and then it could be returned. Beyond the story element of it, it seemed like a non-obstacled aquisition
>>61518I had no idea about these ways of getting it. I thought it would mainly be only my actions that could get it back. I don’t have to go get it, I just thought that was the only logical choice with the idea in my head I had to anounce my intentions to get it back
>>61519If its not something I'm aware of or has been established, yes. However, you had sufficiently indicated Stix' desire to retrieve it, so I figured that since there's not an army of goblins guarding it, it can be easily cinema'd.
*tries to pick up ash of thez*
*ash blows away*
*fingers turn into communists*
>>61523*fingers starve and turn black*
*mail box kike laughs*
>>61521Cinema'd = Like in games where dialogue, exchanges, and interactions occur outside of direct or deliberate direction in a cutscene of sorts.
>>61523>>61524I both kekd and was sad by this
I'm not leaving this city without Tracy knives, and somebody's ass to put over the fireplace.
>>61525Interesting. So I can just call for one of those then and get it back right away?
>>61525*arms turn into hair*
*sees a huge air breathing shrimpflies by*
*a cheshire cat with the body of tracy cuts my hair arms off*
*sacred geometry everywhere*
>>61529Boy it sure got nightmare in here.
>>61528You see this guy before you.
"Oy vey, red one. Join us; together we can make Europe Great Again."
>>61532Martin points at you
*you turn blue*
*a ring of stars appears on your chest*
"MUAHAHAHAHAHA!" >>61533"Nooooooooooooooo"
*martain explodes into a gay pride parade*
>>61534*Infernius's body contorts and flattens into a long red carpet*
*faggots, all half-naked, armed with rainbow dildos, march down him while chanting communist slogans*
What the actual fucking hell am I reading
>>61536Infernius is having a nightmare.
He is trapped in limbo, neither alive nor dead.
>>61535*reeeeeeeeeeees*
*mouth and eyes are gone*
*suddenly they are in Dresden the night of the raid*
Let me know if and when you guys get shit sorted. This is untenable desu
>>61539Post stoped being deleted.
>>61539Who's been deleting things?
When did I say deletions? I said shit together.
>>61542Is this the nightmare, the changes, or ???
I just want to play >>61543I'd love to, I was halfway through new bread OP, but all I keep seeing on and off board is a bunch of stupid shit. So, I reiterate, let me know.
>>61544Oh, give me a break. Your getting upset over stupid shit now? Your being ridiculous. Stop getting emotional like every single other person on this game already. Ugh... why is it so hard to get along?
>I try to listen to an audiobook and play a game of civilization and in only like 20 minutes two people have quit the discord over some drama
Are you shitting me?
>>61547Ill abstain from playing because ive been a bad friend, team- mate, and
partner.
>>61546Apparently... I have no idea what has been getting over people lately, but you guys get too upset over everything. And now everything is messed up and probably has stopped the game and I hadn’t even done anything to warrant this. Wonderful... can’t you people ever make up for the good of the group if not for each other? I shouldn’t be selfish about this, but your fighting is disrupting my story just as much as anyone else’s because apparently GM ain’t going to play with this drama...
>>61549There's a time and place for everything.
>>61549It's a normal friday around here. Calm your tits.
Goddamn I wish I could have a brisket baked potato like I had last Friday night >>61552You haven’t seen me upset then. I am calm, just disappointed with how everyone is acting. I don’t care if you normally act this way, this is childish behavior that is supposed to be corrected from an early age. It’s foolish to hold grudges against your friends.
>>61550Explain please. What is this thing that needs a time and place?
>>61555Checked
>>61556Acting a damn fool cuz "le randum lulz" for starters
NOT doing so, being the obvious alternative
>>61557Correct. So why act in similar fashion?
>>61559Do you think I'm laughing now? That this is fun, or funny, or pleasant for me? Its not. This literally hurts, but I'm at my wits end trying to hold everything together, make everything make sense so that everyone -
everyone - can have a good time and hopefully some memorable experiences.
>>61561It's definitely been memorable
>Kills a god with one spell>Seduces Death>Died multiple times I guess I haven't been the best player either, especially not lately..
I know I've talked about this a bit already, but I'm going to talk a bit more. I very highly recommend Ernest Hemmingway's "For Whom The Bell Tolls." It is incredibly well written, with out the superfluity of description of some of the older writers, and it offers a superb exploration of war, death, and why Communism is awful.
You can listen to it on Audiobook for free while you drive, play video games, or go on walks. The voice acting is superb and believable
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xaV6FVTeuO8>>61572Are you shitting me? You withdrew from the discord too?
>>61575I decided I don't really want to use Discord. I was only on it because everyone else was. I'd rather post here.
Jesus Christ, all of you people need to get your shit together. Fucking unbelievable
>>61577Dear Princess GM, I wanted to share my thoughts with you... *ahem*
I didn't learn anything! Ha, I was right all along!
>>61577Ill come back if gm does.
>>61579I never left, I'm patiently waiting.
You know, like everyone claims to have been.
If any of you are ready to get back to shitposting and having fun without Tracy's Faggot, here's the link
https://discord.gg/jj948E2And if you want to play well you know damn well where we left off
>>61582Ive dissaponed my friends. I dont deserve to play.
>>61583Stop the fucking self pity
>>61585Of topic talking and talking about the site and so on. Get in here. Scones needs feels or something
>>61585This
Brad's faggot got his admin thing back. Why not just use the site?
I always thought discord groups were cancer.
>>61588Becaue I don't like clogging up the site with brief replies that are like two sentences long and are better posted in an instant messaging service. Or in namefagging and off-topic posts that really don't have anything to do with roleplay or games. I'd rather that be in a discord where it is more appropriate, and we do serious gameplay in the threads
>>61589That explains the euro-cuck flag,....
>>61590The Euro-cuck flag was because he made a post saying America lost to Canada in the war of 1812
>>61592GM is saying some kind of important things now you should really be present for
We shall return to our previously scheduled programming soon
In the meantime please enjoy a message from our sponsors:
>>61594Our sponsors forgot to pay the advertising fees, so back to our previously scheduled programming
Strike 2. We'll reconvene tomorrow.
>>61599I'm sorry I couldn't be serious
(WHAT WAS SAID ABOUT APOLOGIES?) >>61600Sorry I keep apologizing too much
>>61606*pets head, behind ears*
>>61605*runs fingers through mane*
>>61609I can only guess limited edition
Stix summons the power of cinema to retrieve his dagger.
>>61613...
GM has been harping on me to do this... stop the drama...
REEEEE
