>Mixed Nuts
To some, its a delightful role-playing venture based (loosely) on 3.5e D&D rules. To others especially a particular german poster,... love you btw its the worst thing to happen to Mlpol (which is saying something, cuz there's,....).
>What it do
On weekends we engage a dynamic storyline based largely on the GM's capacity to create and illustrate the situation. Sometimes he's a faggot tho.
>What about me?
New players and shitposters are always welcome. We have prohibited excessive >lewd, but it does still happen, and non-players can assume casual roles as available (at the moment the world is a desolate wasteland tho so not for a bit). If wanting to play, make a post about it in thread and there's plenty of anons who can steer anon in the right direction.
At the moment the party is starting to appreciate that - from their future-jumped perspective - the worst has already happened. All that is left is the denouement, but at the same time there's still a glimmer of hope. Deep within the ruined city of Durpistan, where Thez has made a last vestige of resistance against the forces of George Soros, the party contemplates their next move.
827 replies and 35 files omitted.
>>63286"What is 'Dubai,' on that map? And you say that you knew what happened to Slovenia and the like? That you knew where they went? Well, if you know where Soros keeps his tailor, I wouldn't be surprised that if the Tower is nearby"
>>63287"The city no longer houses the Court, there's no need for it anymore."
>>63288"I've never been to Dubai, but Slovenia and Felicia were taken to Bohemian Grove, so that might be a good place to start looking."
>>63286Tracy begins flipping through the wanted posters she took.
"...Has anyone else we knew managed to survive?" She asks grimly
>>63290"I don't know of any, and if somehow there are some then they're either slaves or worse at this point." ~_~
>>63291I assume none of the posters are relevant?
"Bohemian grove sounds like a good place to start..
Wait, if the Imperial city no longer houses the court, does it even still exist?"
>>63289"Bohemian Grove it is then, the best place to start"
>>63292"I suppose that's a good point. Soros could have easily gotten rid of them too. I have no way of knowing."
>>63294"Have you seen many undead?"
>>63293"Lets go burn it down!"
>>63295"Aside from the mass in Durpistan, no," she chuckles for a moment. "They sent that after us months ago, thought
that would flush us out," she smiles with a sigh. "Some of them were from Sparintenar. It wasn't until after I put some of them down that I realized we could bolster the city defenses by coralling them."
"Those scaly creatures, down below, where did they come from? Are they demons too?" Tracy asks, knowing nothing about the world
"Are there any other factions working with Soros?"
>>63296"Burning it down just increases the chance that we will all be killed before we get back. We need to be discrete. We need to find a way back"
>>63297"Well... My best guess is that the Court existed recently at least.
I entirely understand why Kefka and The Lady wanted them gone"
>>63299"It was Kefka's court; he could've destroyed them whenever he wanted. Why would he want them gone?"
>>63299"Yea you probably right."
>>63298"Those are the Slaadi. They live underground ordinarily, but they have been contracted by Soros to do his bidding. Rigidly hierarchical, the Grey ones are the ones you have to worry about, though don't get surrounded by the Blue ones either. Anyway, he uses them as an expendable army, without risking any of his abyssal forces. Pawns essentially, except don't tell
them that."
>>63300"I'm not sure that their relationship is that great. In Kefka's case, the combined court could have presented a significant threat to him, and without the Tarrasque he wouldn't have as much leverage. The Court existed before Kefka,... betrayed us,... so who knows what their motivations and networks consist of."
>>63300"My best guess is that he couldn't destroy them whenever he wanted, or that he needed to do it discretely. Why would he want them gone? He didn't trust them. I bet he figured they had their own agenda. And considering they worked with Zion to kill him, it looks like he was right"
>>63302"Betrayed us?"
\r
>>63304"I thought I mentioned that years ago. Yeah, Kefka was a player too. He's the reason I went to the outer planes in the first place."
>>63306"Wait,
what? I haven't heard any of this! I also haven't even been here a year..."
>>63305"Zion is an empire that came in from the north. They came in as merchants first, but took over slowly, and summoned Soros from the outer planes"
>>63307"We crush them when we get back."
>>63308"Yes. We crush them. Flay them. Everyone of them."
>wants to kill something
"You're right about that."
"Those salami things. If they're already here, does that mean they've relayed our location to the abyssals?"
>>63312"And if so, does that mean Soros's hoard could arrive sooner or later, if they've seen any of us?"
>>63312"Undoubtably, but I doubt they realize the significance of your arrival."
>>63313"Potentially, yes."
I forget, did Brad ever declare who he was in that fight with the groundskeeper, or did he keep his identity obscured (chicken disguise).
>>63314"When we go get thing back?"
So where exactly are we?
Getting ready to leave for the grove?
>>63315I don't think he identified himself, other than as a man of Football. That alone could lead to a conclusion, except he also did a good job of cutting the Gay into pieces and dissolving the body in Holy Ade. I'd say he's fine.
>>63316Thez shrugs, "Whenever we're ready. Bohemian Grove lies in the forest beyond where Kiynen's swamp is,... was perhaps,...."
>>63317Yes
>>63318"I'm ready if need be." Tracy says, stretching
"Question is, who's going to stay behind?"
>>63321*Looks briefly at Addy, Spike, and [insert name here]*
"Well, I don't mean to leave anyone behind, but there are children here.. If those salamis get wise to the situation, they'll have to relocate anyway, but is it right to just take them into uncharted enemy territory..." Tracy says, with a look that expresses that she's not so sure of her proposition
"Shouldn't someone stay here in case the hoard breaks the barrier? Unless you have a plan for where to make camp outside the grove."
pardon my autism. I'm sick as hell and not thinking straight....
>>63320"I'm going, at Lea to help Felicia"
>>63322"I mean you do have point but couldn't kiyen protect them?"
I assumed Kiynen was going to stay with her chicks. Wasn't sure about anyone else though.
>>63325Lenos can stay I guess
>>63322Tremendous stomping can be heard from over the side of the building, crowing closer. Finally, Kiynen swings her massive head over the side of the building (she's crawling up it).
"We're not staying here. If this works, this nightmare scenario can be avoided," she 'quietly' roars.
>>63323"You think about it wrong meme boy, if we get back we can help felica by not letting her get captured."
>>63327Tracy nods with hesitant conviction
>>63327"Oh hey lenos girl."
>>63328"I agree with I'nis and Kiynen. As much as I hate to leave Felicia and Slovenia - as well as others - to their fate, as well as risking the children, its our best hope."
>>63327"Haven't seen you in a while"
>>63330Thez dabs on Infernius
>>63331>>63328"But if we change the past.. what'll happen to all of you in the present..?"
>>63331"We've got to get back"
>>63335"I... I don't know that either. But we can't leave things as they are."
>>63331Torc grimaces a little bit before Snek slaps him with his tail
>"Pull yourself together, you can make sure it doesn't happen.""Alright, fine. So where do we start?"
>>63335"Will you all just disappear?" Tracy presses, looking rather confused about the whole situation
>>63339"They were conceived before the time divergence. A different version of them would exist probably, after 15 years"
>>63339"That's one possibility. Another is that this world will continue on, and a new future will be forged for the past timeline, like a parallel dimension. Those who venture to wield such magics are not often available for comment in the aftermath."
>>63340"Uhm,... that's actually
not true,...."
>>63340"What about this version though?"
>>63342"This universe cannot be allowed to continue to exist"
>>63341>>63334"There be happy version but we be with them so we age 15 years too."
>>63341*visible confusion*
>>63343"What about everyone in it though? What would happen to them?"
>>63334"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"
*dabs back*
>>63345"Replaced by something better"
>>63343"I agree."
>>63344>>63347"If everything works out, that's the idea/plan."
this is why time travel stories piss me off sometimes.
Tracy still looking confused, busies herself with sharpening her already-sharp knives.
>>63349"I'll have to prepare some things. Please excuse me for a bit. Addy, stay with your father."
A>"'Kay!"
>>63350"Tell me about yourself adoplha."
I g2g for about half an hour
>>63351Her eyes widen to the size of dinner-plates. 8D
"Weeeeeeeelllll,...." and then stops for a moment to think. "Uhm,... no one's really asked me about myself before. Uhm,... I like to climb things, and I'm very sneaky," she says with a slightly mischievous look. "I like to sing, but I'm not
nearly as good as mom,..." she gasps in excitement, but quickly shuts her mouth. My favorite food is Dragon Turtle,... OH! I can cook pretty well too!"
>>63352No worries, I'm about to step out for a bit (like 15 minutes) myself.
>>63353"Wow you seem very talented, wanna sing daddy a song?"
>>63353>"She's my new best friend""what about me?
>"What about you?"
>>63354She giggles a bit. "I wouldn't say I'm talented,... its just that its so
boring around here. Aside from playing with Spike and Slab
I figure that's a good enough name for the other one. I think I came up with one last night, but oh well or Sammy and Bunbun there's really not a whole lot to do."
She leans over to Infernius and whispers to him.
"Why is the skinny guy talking to himself? Does he do that often?" then at normal volume "Hold on, I don't even know any of your names."
>>63357"You asked me earlier"
>>63358"Oh right. Brad, wasn't it?"
>>63356"Oh me sure you can sing just as well as your mom *whispers* maybe even a little bit better, me would be honored to hear song.
>>63357"Uh yeah hes kinda touched in the head, he a pretty good guy though. Me name is Infernuis."
>>63357"Oh, sorry. Slipped my mind. I'm Torcuil, and this is Mr. Snek"
Mr. Snek's hat becomes a top hat and he removes it with a little bow
>>63360"So thaaaaaats what she meant when she said "I'nis is easier."
>>63361She nods to Torcuil, and then returns Snek's bow with a curtsey. "Enchante"
>>633638D She looks to Trump. "CAN I?!"
>>63357>Turns out I didn't actually need to leave but will soon so it might be another half hour"The name's Tracy."
>>63364>>63363A soft hiss-like "reeeing" sound escapes Trumpaladin's mouth
>>63365"Hiya Tracy!" she turns to Stix. "And what's your name?"
>>63366*Firmly grasps leg*
>>63367"His name stick."
>>63364"Hehehe."
>>63368More of the exasperated sound escapes his mouth
>>63371K, Tracy will be dead when you get back.
>waves
>>63373But what if Addy dabs back?
[1d20 = 15]Amidst the conversation, Thez slowly approaches, watching but not wanting to disrupt the scene. As she does so, Addy turns to her and runs up and whispers something in her ear.
>>63373And Thez hits Infernius with a katsuken
And he flies that many feet. No damage tho.
"So uh, I hate to break up you and Infernius' heart touching PDA, but now what?"
>>63375"Betrayed. Oooof
She never even sang."
>>63379"There will be plenty of time for fun and games later. Besides, you're the one who wanted to dab on her,... she doesn't even know what a dab is!"
Tracy gets her stuff ready to go.
>>63381"For shame! You didnt tell her about dabbing"
*mock anger*
>>63381What's wrong with dabbing?
>>63384"The whole point of dabbing is being witnessed doing it." she replies dryly.
*shakes head* im lenos spike and slabs father
>>63391"You have kids too?"
>>633918D "So they're "
your fault"? I heard
alot about you from Kiynen! I,... didn't realize u'd be so smol tho," she measures their height difference.
Thez blushes again, "Addy, consider your words."
A>"What? Its what Kiynen always said! First there was 'this guy' who was a little bastard but strangely charming, and they had lots of fun and played "played" and then those eggs popped out and it was all his fault."
Thez facepalms.
>>63393 thanks to a cult curse that made me this small.
>>63392Yes i have kids apparently......and they are quite the dapper young dragons if i do say so myself
>>63394>>63393"Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha!"
>>63396As I continue to illustrate Addy's disposition and personality, keep in mind (meta) she has a 5 wisdom
>>63394Heh ya played is a good ...... term. So are my kids friends of yours?
>>63397oof"So, when are we leaving?"
>>63397 is her int higher than mine?
>>63399"I'll be ready in just a moment," Thez replies. She walks over to Addy. "Addy, this is going to be very dangerous. I want you to keep this with you," she says, holding out her size-appropriate quarterstaff
she's only 4'4" tall.
Excited by the idea, but unsure what this all means, Addy reluctantly takes it. "But this is,... o, okay."
T>"Stay behind me at all times, got it?"
A> Nods, nervously but affirmatively.
Thez then looks at the rest of the party. "Well, I guess this is it? Does anyone have any last minute preparations or considerations?"
>>63403"Yeah, where will Sam and Bunny be perching when we're infiltrating the grove? They're not exactly easy to hide."
>>63404"Why would we leave them behind? They have a stake in this too. Do you think they just shrugged and went about their business when you left?"
SCREEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>63405*Hugs birds protectively*
"Y-you don't expect them to be on the battlefield, do you?!"
>>63406"Directly, no. But they can get us there quickly and with relative discretion, assuming they fly within the cloud-bank. And, do you really think
they're just gonna let you walk out of here?"
As she says this, Bunny starts bonking Tracy on the head with her beak. (not painfully)
>>63407You misunderstand. Tracy was asking where she would park her birds, so that they wouldn't draw attention at the grove.
They're gargantuan.
>>63403Both Snek and Torc inspect their guns.
"Nope we're ready"
Fug it. They'll find some mountain to land behind.
Let's get to the battlefield already.
>>63412*Grooms birds for take off*
*Generously oils knives*
>>63401>>63403*hugs addy and thez*
"Me ready."
*shrugs shoulders* im ready when you are. I need to kill something in the worst way
I should take a moment to specify. While several of the party members have empathic links which allow them to communicate over distance and detect the direction to the other party, Thez and Infernius are not exclusive to this phenomena. I point this out because, while there is no potential for communication, or for that "direction sense" of the other's location, both Thez and Infernius can sense Addy's proximity through the same link.
I wanted to iterate that before progressing, because its probably going to come into play.
As far as preparations are concerned, the currently available fliers are Sammy, Bunny, and Fae. Obviously the first two have the highest carrying capacity, and other characters can individually do flying shit, but does anyone have a preference/idea who rides who?
A>"I want Bunbun!"
T>"I'm with Her" deliberate shitpost
>>63417Trumpaladin rides Fae
Torc casts fly on Snek and climbs on his back
"It's not the airship, but you'll do buddy"
>"NO SHANTIES"
>>63417Tracy gets on Sams back.
And Infernius has Utachit.
So, we're all ready?
Alright. Let's get messy.
*turns back into dragon form* i got my own wings thank you very much
>>63422Thez gets a wistful look when he says that.
"Yeah, lets."
Okay, so it's Lenos (in dragon, w/ no riders), Kiynen (with both babbies), Bunny (with Thez and Addy), Sammy (with Tracy), Snek with Torcuil, Uatchit with Infernius,... Stix?
>>63419Stix hops on Fae with Trump
"OHHHHHHH What shall we do with the drunken sai-"
>"I'm about to drop him"
"Alright fine, just have your gun ready, and here. Have some armor"
Torc casts mage armor on himself, which also affects Snek.
>>63432And for one last extra buff.
Torc grabs his staff of abjuration and casts shield.
To help GM: Both Torc and Snek now have ACs of 32, and Torc has the following spells remaining:
0:6
1:5
2:6
3:5
4:6
5:6
6:6
7:6
8:4
I'm ready
https://youtu.be/jLnL63cXmD8Couldn't find a better version. But it does help. With a minor cantrip from Thez, Addy starts to sing the Ahhhhh part.
>>63434I'm so not keeping track. I trust you will tho.
And I say that, having pulled 'available spells' shenanigens in the past
>>63435I'll keep track.
>Rulefags myself
>>63435>HaloSome excellent taste in music
I tried to find a female cover for consistency, but all I get is Beyonce shit
*loads crossbow with 5 screaming bolts*
>>63440Thez calls out "You still got those javelins of lightning?" over the increasing wind and disturbance, as they take flight out of the city, to the enraged sound of the Slaadi.
>>63441"Umm.. I don't remember restocking.."
*Checks bag*
I thought she used up her last one (there were 3 right?) on the tarrasque, but I also remember Thez getting more before the party went to get Infernius. Are you saying she gave them to Tracy?
Tracy gives The whatever's in the bag.
>>63441*prays*
"Adolf me dont know if you can hearvme but me pray that you bless us on our mission."
(Hitler smiles upon Infernius in his venture to thwart Zion and Globalism)
>>63444I feel like an idiot for requesting that.
I'd appreciate any buffs though.
>>63442There were 4 left when Thez gave Tracy the bag. I don't recall her using them, but I could
easily have overlooked. I don't recall restocking, but again,...
Also, she's not asking for them, but just clarifying.
>>63446I used one against the first demon invasion
One on Korak's ass
And one to finish off the Tarrasque.
Hmm, I guess she still has one.
[1d20 = 13]
Lifting into the lower bank of the constant overcast that has plagued this world for years, the party proceeds along, over the wasted and shrivelled forests toward a large hill that has been stripped of any vegetation. A variety of structures dot the hillside, most notably the crystalline Pyramid-top of the tower, which at some point appears to have been embedded in the top of the hill.
>>63448Um.... the hill where it used to be?
>>63448Could the hill provide cover for the birds to land?
>>63449No, a different hillside, far more to the east and north than the "starting point"
>>63451How did she find it?
[1d20 = 15]
Tracy looks down for any signs of sapient activity.
Rolling spot without modifiers cuz I forgot them
>>63452She, Thez?
"These days, EVERYONE knows where Bohemian Grove is, whether for or against."
>>63454"What's this place like?!" Tracy shouts over the wind
Maps. The first one is a rough sketch of the environment, the second is a shitposty map I made while making the first one.
>>63454"What is the Bohemian Grove?"
>>63456So, four structures in the surrounding area, and a curling spire that leads to the top?
>>63457"Its where (((they))) revel in their domination and exploitation of this world!" (shouting cuz wind and distance)
>>63458Yes. Since the party is airborne, the pathways are less relevant, but I can't be remiss now can I?
Additionally, I should mention,... the main door to the Tower is blow ground level,....
>>63459Tracy looks for a spot to keep her angels safe so she can get off and slaughter things.
>>63445>>63459"Where we go first?"
>>63461From the air, the "eyeball" is a keep (a tower surrounded by a hearty wall), the tail looks like a series of shops, the back leg is a temple of sorts, and the foreleg-elbow looks like an inn
>>63463Tracy signals her bird to land a good distance from the hill, her eyes on those shops.
I'mma rampage those shops, then the temple.
>>63463A temple? Describe
>>63464Now when you say a good distance from the hill, you realize that puts Tracy
outside the hill, right?
>>63467Aside from the 6-pointed stars n shit?
>>63467No spoilers.
Let's go see.
Maybe they have some unholy stuff worth stealing.
>>63468>Outside the hill.Well shit...
Is there any visible way she could land these airplane-sized animals without drawing attention?
>>63469We need to burn it upon leaving.
>>63471That goes without saying.
>>63470Probably not, the hillside sports only grass, making any sort of concealed approach impossible
>>63471>>63472I would recommend not wasting time that could allow Soros to get a head start in reacting to the party, since the party will lose the element of surprise the moment they land, but whatever
>>63473Reeeeeeeeeeeeee
are the walls scale-able with Tracy's grappling hook? Her priority to to keep her birdies safe.
>just now finds out about bonus spells
Oh...
Would Trump like eagle's splendor?
>>63474But faggy temple that is literally blocking hitlers power.
>>63474"I agree!"
>>63477"He's right, its probably GM offering some faggy nonsense to distract us with!"
>>63476Tracy could use some bull's strength.
>>63477Infernius would be ideologically obligated to destroy it.
Clerics have codes of conduct too.
>>63478I wanted to horse around a bit, but sure...
>>63479I don't have that one
Torc casts eagle splendor on himself
>>63479Yea i can let it go in the name of getting back to the past.
>>63484This. We gotta get back. Back to the past
So we can destroy every one of them before they are built
>>63481"I could be wrong, there could be gibs inside,..."
>>63485"He's right! I don't like saying that by the way!"
Okay, let's land closer to the center then.
What would they she upon leaving?
[1d20 = 18]>>63487"You're landing?!" and then to Addy, "Hold on DD," before leaping from Bunny in mid flight.
>>63490Wait are they over them?
Could she just jump off and roll a tumble?
>>63491If Tracy can get away with doing that, and not splat, sure. Thez has teleport and airwalk.
>"Ding! Please fasten your seatbelts as we begin our descent into Bohemian Grove International."
Snek begins to descend behind the others, establishing the back line
