>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, and non-players can assume casual roles as available (at the moment the world is a desolate wasteland tho so not for a bit). Ordinarily we have several side-characters with their own existing backstories, as well as a few player contributions including a very sad Alex Jones or Yak Lee, a literal MLP yak trained as a monk. 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.
For the time being the party has successfully conquered the Gigajew, and through the tunnels beneath has all-kinds-of tortured to almost death (there will be more) James Alefantis and several patrons/staff of Comet Ping Pong. Through this tunnel network, there is only one direction to go, and that is the upper path, which seems to lead toward the usurped Trump Tower.

As a free action, he activates the charm power to give a bonus to charisma, hoping this will be the last time today he will need to use it

Three weird snek sounds dart toward Tracy. A couple more toward Addy (thats 7/12) and Thez (another 2, 8 more to go)
The tower now is a mass of swirling and clattering chains. Chains of all size and variety hang along the tower walls

As Tracy readies herself so, her allies on flank provide resistance. While various shades and images attempt to form and solidify, others fail to by the flailing and resistance. Tracy seens to only face one larger opponent, rather than 3 separate.
The other party didn't do so well on this dice roll, so I'm stalling for later. Maybe not much tho

For the attack, Vanderiem is used in slashing action, and Divine might is added to boost damage by +8 points per hit. This is with the Charm Power being activated to last ten rounds and give +4 charisma. I think something like 6 or 5 turn undead moves remain for the day

Except Stix. Not ur fault, but dude
So naturally, Stix goes first. The party is beset on all sides by weird-creepy-vaporous wtfe's. Your move?
Now in dealing with creepy-weirds previously, Stix probably knows that the sanctity of the weapon/object/site determines the strength of the opponent, so aside from immdediate zombies he knows that undead want to eat and not get eaten. Thez and Snek to follow

As the pseudo-matirix-flesh-stripped-but-still-stylish-gnomes continue to take assaults from the party, one of which - who looks oddly like Agent Smith, but who sounds like the leader of the gnomish trio,....- says in a groaning voice. "Jesus wept,....."
So, what happens next? I thought Lenos/Killy were next, but I'm not sure if that attack consumed their turn.
Okay, on review I kinda nossed the battle order. If anything, its definitely the gnomes and co's turn to attack, when we're all here
Well to start things off, let me take a moment to better describe the CeGnomebytes. None of this would come up in dialogue, so I'll just mention it for posterity.
During George Soros' conquering of the game world, he inevitably came across the gnomes. The Gnomes never work for free, which did not set well with Soros, and what's worse is that they are insanely autistic when it comes to operating, crafting, modifying, etc. magical devices.
... like the Tower.
So Soros turned them into something worse, where they would do his bidding. They still have their original personalities, except now they are in constant and lastingly excruciating pain. Also, they can't control their bodies. So when the Tower was abandoned, Soros set the newly-altered CGB's to commandeer the Tower, such that it could be used for his purposes. Of late, the entertron in particular had been used to allow interested clients from Comet Ping Pong to indulge snuff fantasies and then "fix" the individual who got snuffed. Fun facts.
But anyway, yes. The CGBs are all kinds of disturbingly mangled and contorted. They climb around/along the hanging chains unnaturally, not unlike a spider.

Whups. Left sage in the name space.
Of particular note in this case is that - in spite of my drunken GMing last night - none of the CGBs are in range, they're all somewhere along the chains. All dealt damage still applies, but its not going to be as simple as just doing full round attacks.
[17d20 = 178]
To get the ball rolling, the CGBs are attacking. First off, Tracy needs to roll a will save, which is the first dice. The rest are attack rolls.

Lucky, Tracy's spiked chain was not taken control of. However, I'm seeing several hits. In fact, I'm seeing Trump, Tracy, Thez (again) and Infernius need to make opposed grapple checks (d20+str).

Pulling does no good. The gnomes aren't actually swinging/attacking with the chains, they're controlling them. The chains are still secured to the ceiling somewhere. Thez maintains a ready stance, prepared to attack any attack that comes near Addy. The dispelled area of darkness around the party shrinks to a 30' sphere, and the gnomes again have concealment.

Alright. With the sound of a rattling of chains, three distinct thuds occur around the perimeter of the pyramid structure. Slowly the darkness dissipates, revealing the upper area of the tower, which has been covered in all sorts of weird tubes and giant wires, not to mention the piles of chains hanging everywhere.

I'll go with 13.

I thought so, I've been giving him the enhancement bonus,.... Thez begins grabbing the immediate stones from around the other side of the portal and placing them aside. After a few moments of this, a 'sky' of blood red peeks through between the remaining stones. "Hmmm. It looks like the portal exit is on its side."

How are they reacting? Are they recoiling in fear, or are they that mindfucked?
Tracy lies down in the center of the room sadly, full hoers-sized.

For the most part yeah. The children look around, not really comprehending what is happening. They've been conditioned to not respond to the situations they find themselves in. As Tracy moves to step away however, one of them grabs and holds her mane. Its a little girl, and she looks at Tracy with an emotionless expression, but she doesn't let go.

Thez continues to remove rubble from around the gate, so that the doorway is clear. "Since its on its side, we'll have to be careful going through. As soon as we cross the threshold fully, gravity will take effect and pull us right back through. Do NOT touch the sides of the gate!"
>>64726
"Can we like use bubble wrap or something to keep the sides from touching? It's going to be hard to go all the way through without touching the sides"

Thez grabs one of the rocks and holds it halfway through the gate. She then draws her arm toward the side, and as the rock makes contact with the edge it's cut cleanly in half.

Well, Tracy probably won't leave that room for the rest of the night, unless she finds a miracle way to bring her birds inside.
>>64744
O gawd. So while the party rests, Thez places her mask on and adopts the appearance of the creepy-weird evil-looking thing that Stix first met her as.
>>64745
"I'll take care of that," she says as she <whoooof> . . . . <whoooof> reappears, with Birbs,... who rather like the addition of chains to climb around on.

Tracy lays down quietly, as if to go to sleep, pulling a blanket out of her bag to spread beneath her.
blanket is actually just a quilt stitched from clothes of GM's dead coworkers, because I never actually put a blanket in her bag.
"~Yay!"
>did not realize the tower was big enough for them
"Sammy, Bunny, come over here." Tracy calls out, beckoning towards the entertron.

Returning to the portal, she sticks her head through. "I thought so," she says, pulling her head back out. "The portal is lying in the ruins of the house of Thez. We won't have to travel far to get to our destination."

The pyramid section is, as well as the holodeck. Getting them from point to point is a little trickier, outside of teleport hax.

At first the question seems to confuse her, but then it dawns on her what he's talking about. She starts chuckling, then laughing, until she's almost in tears for different reasons. Wiping her eyes as she finishes, she looks at him, not looking dreadfully serious for the first time since the party arrived. "Thanks, I needed that."
>>64751
"It doesn't, the destruction of the house has long been known to me. That's not where we're going."

As Tracy enters the room, a look crosses Thez' face. She looks at Infernius, kisses him on the nose and says, "I'll be right back. Oh, probably should take this off,...." she says pulling her mask off, before <whooof> . . . . <whooof> appearing with the rest of the children (it would take more than one trip, but since its non combat I'll just say "brings 'em all").

"Exactly. Only a head of household can challenge the throne, and whoever holds it can't deny a challenge. I had thought about trying it before you all showed up, but in order to do so," her eyes drift toward Addy, who is playing with birbs, "I would have had to reveal her."

The crystal-glass display flashes a red X with a muttering of disjointled words, almost sounding like a jumbling of the sounds that would make words. Its unintelligable, whatever it just said.
The party begins to settle in for a rest period, inside the largely ruined, bastardized, corrupted, and usurped intent of what had come to be known as Trump tower.
Lenos spends a good amount of time at the input console, fiddling with things beyond the comprehension of anyone in the party. What can be seen is that there's a strange spherical image in front of him central to the dias, and that he keeps waving his hands around resulting in slight chang3es to the sphere. After a good 30 minutes of fiddling with the device so, the lights come up dramatically, displaying the fullness of the tower in an inescapably red brightness.
The walkways, the corridors, the staircases are lined with tubes and cords of minimal to extra-ordinary (8"diameter+) weaving throughout such almost to take a negative modifier if engaged in combat. The air is dry and cold, causing exhaled breath to dissipate immediately and tracelessly.
In the midst of this, and with random bits of debris there's always debris Thez lights a fire in the middle of the dais. Its not a magical, summoning, or metaphysical fire, its just the sort of fire that you might roast mashmellows over.

"That's what I would do if I , anyway." she says, checking her reflection on Edgy's polished side.

Once I challenge Igritchkora, and the Will is contested, he will have to vacate the throne to answer the challenge. If I can then claim the throne in his defeat, for an instant the Will will be mine."

"So, what you're telling me, is that you're gonna undo whateverthefuck was done to us to Jack us into this hellscape, and we're going to go back and fix these problems before they began?" Tracy says, her face contorting in confusion, as she also glances back to all the kids who would've been in the womb when she left
".... To be honest, I don't understand it one bit, but I'm gonna trust that you know this stuff better than I do... All I can say is, I'm ready to stab my my through this nightmare.."
"... So, the jig is, we're going to use that doggie-door to get to hell, and you want all of us to make sure that Addy and Infernius aren't detected, so that they don't get nuked with that 'Will' thing until you've beaten the piss out of this Bod faggot, right?"

>>64919
"Pretty much, except that there will be no keeping them undetected. Once my duel starts, ranking members of other houses are certain to attack. Getting in will be easy, I mean who would be crazy enough to attack the leading House? They will have minimum defenses and no formations, just plenty to stab, until we get to the throne room."

Tracy, deciding that asking questions isn't going to help her understand her situation very much more, busies herself with sharpening her seemingly-infinite collection of sharp objects, Edgy and Dark laying on either side of her body, sparkling with fresh polish.
"Welp, I guess I'll just get ready then.." she mumbles, glancing over at her Angels that she knows she'll have to leave again, and all the kids who'll be left alone in the tower
"Stab everything.. It'll be fine.."

"Well we can't just walk in the front door.

It should be pretty obvious, but I've never been inside so I can't say."

"Initially little. They really won't expect an attack so aside from actually sneaking in and tripping their systems, it will be a piece of cake to get inside. Once inside, our difficulty will depend on how readily we can determine where the throne room is and how much commotion we make on our way there. We can't know what sort of surprises might jump out at us at any given moment. Devils pull acid-trap pranks on their allies so we can't assume anything is 'safe'."

"Alright. If there's nothing else, here's the plan. Don't bother with buffs in advance. Detec/dispel magic is readily available to most of these creatures, many of them on a permanent basis. Any buffs utilized on the fly should be considered minimally temporary at best, though that could be used to distract a spell-caster in some situations, but I wouldn't rely on it as a strategy. Some devils - as well as other opponents we might face - will have certain damage immunities, particularly cold and fire, so keep that in mind as well. Once we breach the gate, there's no turning back," and with that she draws the folding saw and the random stick, essentially an oblong cane that appears just like a random stick you might find while wandering in the woods.

Thez smirks at how easy it is to goad Tracy into motion. She sets off along an apparent road of sorts toward what looks like at times is a main gate, but for the moment looks like a wall made out of obsidian stalagmites impossibly close together, which reach up a good 50' or more. Addy follows close behind, as does Kiynen in lady form.

Snek decides fuck Torc's orders, he's a strong independent snake and joins the stealth party.
After only a few feet, Tracy slips into nothingness. Its a place that she goes sometimes where feelings are displaced, there's only sensation and response and an underlying urge to stab. To the untrained observer she simply vanishes mid-stride.

Now imagine that on the other side of this sudden opening were about 20 flesh-bag looking things, carrying trashbags.

The doors close as the elevator section fills with flesh-bags. I did say it was like 20. They fill and start jabbering to one another about "Pawn Stars" and other random things. Eventually, as the elevator goes wherever its going (it feels to shift up, to the left, and then back down again) the one fleshbag who nodded earlier walks up and says. "Hibbity hooblah."

Fun fact: the close door button on an elevator doesn't actually do anything. It's only there for comfort; to make passengers feel like they have more control over the elevator.

The additional number of attack of opportunities doesn't necessarily mean more than one attack of opportunity, it just means that where there is more than one opportunity to make an attack, you may make up to that number of attacks in a round.

So where we last left off, the party is still standing before a great and massive door that leads into the Bogdanoff house, which has supremacy over all the noble houses of Hell.

"We haven't gotten inside. I'm sure it will be plenty extravagant," Thez says, walking toward the side of the door, from which she knocks 3 times, slowly and distinctively.
With a sound something like a hiss and a gasp, the massive gate (which is only one door, rather than being a double-door, for some reason) sucks inward, and then slowly retreats along the hinges. From the inside, the party is greeted with a dazzling array of refracted light and brightness. The whole interior is a-glow, and its resplendence is intense and jarring.

"Not in his house certainly. Ordinarily it would be strewn across the plains of Gehenna, but who knows now that he's working with demons," she spits out.
"Not in his house certainly. Ordinarily it would be strewn across the plains of Gehenna, but who knows now that he's working with demons," she spits out.
The interior of the facility looks like an endless hallway, refined to the last degree with all manner of resplendence (gilt, precious stones, royalty beyond imagination. As Tracy (cuz I know she's thinking it) none of it is remove-able. In fact, she finds that everything not nailed down is in fact nailed down in a sense. The whole area has some type of provision preventing thievery (cuz they absolutely don't get thieves in hell,....)

"Some of 'em look like bugs. Don't use fire against those ones. Also, most of them have some protection against fire, so that's really not a solid choice."
With a quick glance around the area, as well as inside, Thez strides boldly into the building. It looks reminiscent of the scene in LOTR before the Balrog attacks, except everything is shiny and gilt. There's an endless array of hallways branching off in every direction, none of which are marked in any way.

As the party moves forward into the building, a few fleshbags in the area gasp and hide in various areas as available. A sound of whispering emanates from throughout.
A posh phantasm that looks vaguely reminiscent of Squidward from Avengers movie coalesces in front of Thez, and thereby the party.
"Commoner! What business have you in the Grand house of Bogdanoff?!"
"Commoner! What business have you in the Grand house of Bogdanoff?!"
"In fact, how did you even get into the building?"
T>"We came in the front gate. It was open, and seemed welcoming," Thez says with a sneer.

I would've been that, but Tracy already has physical knives as part of her character. They're currently well-oiled.

Nice trips.
"I see you lot are of a more contemptible variety. What claim do you have to present yourself in this house. Answer quickly, I have no time or patience for,... lower-classed."
Thez sneers again. "I claim right to challenge the master of the house."
To this, the phantasm disappears with a gasp.

Thez sneers again. "I claim right to challenge the master of the house."
To this, the phantasm disappears with a gasp.
The phantasm reappears momentarily. "Preposterous! All who have right of claim are present in the throne room. There are none others who have this right!"
"As principle of the house of Thez, I challenge the master of Baatorr."
"The house of,... who did you say?"
"As principle of the house of Thez, I challenge the master of Baatorr."
"The house of,... who did you say?"
Thez looks sidelong at Kiynen, and gives a slight nod.
In response, Kiynen douses the phantasm in acid.

"Because what we're doing is unprecedented. Ordinarily, challengers don't walk in the front gate. To be honest, only a fool would do that. Except, that's our only option."

The clarinet player dissolves rapidly, in a fit of "No u!".

"Don't mind him, he's inconsequential. Besides, I'm sure the message was received."
And indeed it was.

Except Snek, the fucking asshole

Don't worry, I haven't forgotten about Snek.
The scene begins to distort and spin around the party, almost dizzyingly. As the apparent surroundings begin to blur with eachother, a resounding (and curiously familiar) <CRACK> resounds.
Suddenly, the party finds themselves standing in a very large and open area, spacious almost like a Football field, except marble floors and wicked finery. At one end is a ziggurat, upon which sits the most massive infernal that has ever been seen (even considering Soros). This creatures bears two heads, both with monstrous chins. A low rumbling, vaguely reminiscent of a chuckle, resonates throughout the chamber. Along the walls (which are impossibly far away, as though this 'room' is a dimension in its self) are all manner of diabolical and abyssal creatures (more the former than the latter) all whispering amongst themselves in hushed tones.

"You're uglier than the last time I saw you. Where's your brother?" Thez announces challengingly.
The massive Bog-creature smirks from both its mouths. Wordlessly, it booms from the rafters.
WELCOME TO MY HOUSE, PRINCIPLE OF,... THEZ? PLEASED I AM THAT THE RUMORS OF YOUR DEMISE WERE UNFOUNDED. BY ALL INDICATION THERE WERE NONE LEFT, EXCEPT PERHAPS AN INSIGNIFICANT FLEA.

Tracy just draws-out her knives an hunkers down for the oncoming blood-orgy.
Trumpaladin pulls out a cheap necklace, the sort which you attach dog tags to, places the the Ring of Protection on it, and then hangs it around Fae's Neck
Torc decides finally try his ear cuff of blinking, and also activates his shield.
At a glance he looks very confident, but those really focusing on him will notice a bit of fear.

None immediately. There's a wide berth between the group (formation) and the surrounding.
Sneering menacingly, Igritchkora looks to a pedestal on his right, on which a sphere rests. The sphere levitates off the pedestal.
YOU ARE A FOOL. HOWEVER, YOUR RIGHT TO BE A FOOL IS UNDENIABLE
Igritchkora begins to stand, beams and wafts of energy sucking into the throne as he does so. Upon standing upright from the throne, the Bog appears to be an ordinary man in a neat suit, except with two heads.
"WHAT ARE YOUR TERMS" he intones, this more verbally than previous.
"No weapons, no items, no equipment of any kind."

"YOU SHALL HAVE YOUR CHANCE." he says, standing before the throne. "DO NOT REGRET THIS CHOICE," he says with a smirk.
Thez adopts a fighting stance, casting Shield on herself as she does so. Bog casts Unholy Aura.

Casting a sidelong glance at the party, Thez whispers. "Thank you, all of you. When everything happened, I lost all hope. I won't lose.'
And with that, the battle between Thez and Bog begins. And as it does so, some chatter comes from the periphery. None if it is expressly directed at the party, but much of it seems to relate. Comments of "I want that one," and "I have dibs on the shiny motherfucker," start to echo and resound from the surrounding masses.

So, we have two dragons (are they in dragon form? I don't think so so far), a shiny paladin, a murder hoers, a skinny guy, a dirty hoers, a pissy dragonne, a bull,... am I forgetting anyone? Cuz 'they're' pulling lots to see who gets to eat you first.
[17d6 = 60]
Torc decides he doesn't like this group drawling lots to see who gets eaten, he actually finds the idea of men eating men pretty gay.
So he solves it the one way he knows how to.
Electroshock therapy.
Chain lightning FTW

This would be a good time for players to roll for initiative tho

As the lightning arcs to, through, and to those immediately surrounding, a clear and refined voice issues from the mass, as many in the 'front' part ways.
"That, my good man (and he is mine, the voice murmers to those surrounding), will cost you."
