>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.

Tracy decides to put a piece of pelt in the entertron to see 1) If it still works, and 2) If Slovenia is still alive or not.
>>64875The 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.
>>64877Tracy sits down next to Thez, and starts roasting a questionable piece of meat on her sword.
>>64878Making a few last gusts of breath to generate heat, since the tower is otherwise a cold and sterile environment (even outside being mostly buried in the hillside) Thez finishing the building of the fire.
"I don't know what they did, but they fucked everything up," Lenos remarks climbing the stairs toward the dais. "My password and ID has been changed," he says.
A clinkety-clink sound - occasionally accentuated by giggling - suggests Adeline is present
>>64879Tracy's face is reflective of the situation.
Her bag of bone meal is sitting next to her, and she glances over towards her birds with a look of worry.
>>64879Trumpaladin cuddles up next to the pony in the cold
>>64883Trumpaladin also pets the head and the ears of the other pony
>>64879"Hey Thez, would you mind giving us a Quick Rundown about the Bogandoff guys, before we're gonna' head out?"
>>64885As she finishes bolstering the fire, Thez looks up at Tracy.
"Sure. The Bogdanoff's only want one thing. They want everyone to bow to them. Its a form of sub-contract, where if everyone bows to them (deliberately *or* inadverdently) they are given rulership of everything. The house of Thez was their superior rival for a great long period."
>>64886"How many houses are there in Hell?"
>>64887Shitty question to ask, I'm tired as fuck.
>>64886"And the Bogs themselves; what are they like?"
>>64887"You assume there is a limit,"
>>64888"A devil most clever and vile. Once, back before you lot left, there was Igor and Grichka. Both were impressive and formidable in their own right, but they were twin devils, with special properties *still* not known. And yet, at some point there weren't two. Suddenly across the vast wastelands of the outer realms emerged IgrichKora, intent on (and seemingly given de facto ownership of) the unending torment of Hell."
>>64889"Do the houses compete? Is there contest over the rule?"
>>64890"Of course, Hell is foremost a hierarchy determined by ability. In Hell, House Bogdanoff was leading, exacting, and set to take rulership of Hell,... until I showed up."
>>64891"If there's infinite houses, just how do the Bogs go around proving they're the best? And what did
you do?"
>>64893"I beat the piss out of them. The way it works is, only House Principles can challenge one another for supremacy, but ranking house members are free to fight either in a recognized challenge or in,... shall we say,... 'less official' capacities. For millennia the House of Thez had maintained the strongest principle,... but the ranking members were a bunch of pansy-ass little bitches who only cared about their artistry and crafts. Then, Mom assimilated me into the house and,... well the dynamic shifted, and the Bogdanoff's were not pleased about it."
>>64894"So, how did you turn out to be the head of house?"
>>64895"By default. Ordinarily, succession of a house is determined internally. A ranking member will usurp the position from the standing principle; very rarely is that determined by a challenge for supremacy. I however wanted nothing to do with it, which had alot to do with why I left. But it seems that even Southelehren had her limits," she says with a sigh.
>>64896"And this Southelehren lady.. who is she?"
>>64897"She was the Principle of the House of Thez. She's the golden woman whom you've seen, after the first encounter with Soros. She is who brought me into the House, and who allowed me to depart from it (though never leave)."
>>64898"Is she a fiend too then?"
>knows nothing about the plains"Why'd you get accepted into the house? And why'd she turn over the chair?"
>>64899"A fiend yes, and most ancient. I was brought into the house for several reasons. The first is because I had pushed her more in combat than previous challengers for supremacy had. That alone impressed her, and even in my defeat I still survived. As far as the chair, she didn't turn it over. It fell to me at the time of her demise."
>>64900"Wait.. when did she die?"
>>64901>is confused"We saw her at the football field. Just what happened in the last 15 years?"
>>64901"I can't be certain when, alot happened in rapid succession and I was,... occupied," she says glancing over to Addy, curled up with Kiynen and her two iguanas. "The assaults were coordinated, designed to distract and occupy several fronts so to maintain a lack of concerted opposition. There were more factions at play than Soros and the Bogdanoff's, that is certain."
>>64903"If there's more factions in play.. Just how many houses do you expect to take on in the other world?Won't they all come for you?"
"I know what it's like to take out a target with connections. Some guys don't like it when you knock over their house of cards."
>>64904*sharpens daggers on sharpening stone*
"These devil guys sound like the kind of faggots who just listen to who's in charge so long as they're stronger than you, because those are the rules. But what if the rules have changed since then? If demons and devils have been working together, who knows what we could expect when we get there."
Tracy glances over at Addy, the dragonlets, and her birds.
"There's a lot at stake... you know.."
>>64904>Won't they all"Yeah, they will," she says grimly.
>>64905"Well, I
do have a plan,...."
>>64905"I don't mean to sound like a pussy, and I believe that you could take out the biggest fish on the hellscape if you were lucky and fought hard; but what if, when we're all still licking our wounds after the, the
second biggest fish on the hellscape comes to cut all of our tails off while we're helpless?"
"That's what I would do if I , anyway." she says, checking her reflection on Edgy's polished side.
"After you take out this Bog guy, what's your plan?"
>>64908*that's what I would do if I were him
Man, I have to pay more attention when I'm typing.
>>64908"You won't be fighting him, it will be a duel. You'll be keeping I'nis and Addy alive. They're ranking members of the House of Thez."
>>64910"Stab anyone or anything that gets near 'em. Got it."
"What's your plan after you walk out of this duel then? If you walk out, that is."
*cuts into mystery meat with freshly-sharpened daggers*
"Gosh, it feels great to have my girls back."
"The only way to eliminate a house is for ranking members to be eliminated. There's no such thing a s a house of one, even with the strongest principle.
That's why I've spent all my time keeping Addy a secret."
>>64911"If I can defeat him, I will only have a moment before the other Principles respond. I'll have to take the throne and exert my Will before then."
>>64913"And this 'Will' thing you're talkin' about. Is it like some kind of magick power?"
>>64914"Hell is Divinely Morphic, bending to the will of the whomever has Supremacy. Their will becomes the Will of the entire plane, but that Will is still subject to challenge. 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."
>>64915"What can this 'Will' do? You said you were going to use it to return to the past, but what exactly can you, or that Bog guy, do with it?"
>>64916"One can 'do' whatever they will, and
my will is that whatever magic that removed you from your correct timeline be undone," she says, again glancing at Addy.
>>64917>"Kefka probably said abrakadabra then we just disappeared""I'm sure it was a bit more complicated than that"
Tracy, having cooked her strip meat to a point she seems satisfied with not getting parasites from, others half of it to Thez.
"Lizardman?" she says, holding the gnarly strip of flesh out on her dagger
>>64917"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?"
>>64918"If anything, Kefka was amused by us. He wouldn't have gone through such means to get rid of us, even if that was his intention. His sort of thing is more spectacular."
>>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."
>>64920Tracy looks a bit disturbed at the prospect of not being able to sneak in undetected.
".. I'll give it my all then.." she says, her hoof absentmindedly wandering to her navel
>>64921Tracy, 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.."
>>64921"Oh, you will. In fact, that's part of the plan."
>>64922Tracy sniffs the oil she got from shabby, before setting it beside her, deciding she'd rather not use it untested.
>>64923"Isn't it always?" Tracy says cocking an eyebrow, a ghost of a smirk creeping a the very edge of her mouth
>>64923"Well this sounds like an interesting plan to say the least... What exactly is the plan?"
>>64925"As to my knowledge, kill everything and don't let anyone get killed until Thez takes out her target."
*having listened to the conversation lenos looks at kinyen and the kids witha slight smile and cracks his nuckles* well sounds like there will be plenty for me to kill. So just before we go into the thrown room i can heal you and give you a couple boosts and what not. But for now i think im gonna nap until its time to go * rolls over to go to sleep facing his children*
>>64925"Well we can't just walk in the front door. One of us - and not me (there's still rules to abide,... always rules in Hell) - will have to sneak in and disable the perimeter locks, without an alarm being raised," she says looking at Tracy, "From there we all fight our way to the Throne room. It
should be pretty obvious, but I've never been inside so I can't say."
>>64926"So there really isn't a plan?"
>>64928"Okay so there is actually a plan."
>>64929"Once in the throne room I will challenge Igritchkora, and then everyone has to keep I'nis and Addy alive. If both of them fall, I lose all legitimacy to challenge, and then we
all die."
>>64928Will there be gaurds around the parameter locks?
Ill go with stab happy there to unlock the parameter
>>64933"Alright that's two invisibility spells"
>"Make it thr-""You aren't going unless they want you"
>"Okay dad" >>64934"I could use a scroll or two for that, while you have the time.."
Don't worry about it Torc i can cast improved invisibility and other such spells
>>64935"Uh sure, the price is a quill, some ink, and sheets of parchment"
*tosses choclate covered cygnomebyte to snek*your a bit big snek. Help keep the lumocks (inis) alive.
>>64937*pushes forward sheet of unicorn skin, leather-cutting knife, and bucket of blood*
"Will this do?"
>>64939Torc begins to look a bit queasy
"Uh... I don't quite think so..."
>>64938>Big Snek>"4u" >>64941"Times are tough. neet. We've gotta make do with what we have. If this works out, we can prevent all of this from happening in the first place." Tracy says grimly, dribbling some of the blood into one of her Angels' smaller feathers, and cutting the pale hide into 12-inch wide sheets
>>64942"Oh, you... Didn't mean... Anyway!"
Torc slowly realizes that Tracy didn't want him to use the knife as a quill.
He then begins to scribble out a couple scrolls of invisibility.
>>64938"Say, Lenos, could you tell me what kind of oil this is? I think it's magic, but I'm no expert at these kinds of things." Tracy says, holding out the item she got from the ogre
>>64945Tracy just shrugs.
"Scrolls aren't my specialty. I can use simpler ones, but making them is a thing we leave to the nerdiest unicorns, back in Equestria."
>>64946"I don't think these impromptu tools are doing me any favors either"
>>64947"Alright then.." Tracy says, slightly disappointed that the concept of magick is apparently more complicated than she guessed
*dagger-polishing intensifies*
>>64894>>64898"So hou consider this golden lady your mother?"
*puts on therapist glasses*
"Tell me about her."
>>64950"Through a process where I was eaten, dissolved, reformed, and reborn. It is how I came to have infernal nature at all."
>>64915>>64913"What if me were to challenge them?"
>>64951"Hmmm.. you certainly didn't
look all that similar.."
>>64952Thez smirks. "That's not going to happen."
>>64954"The process maintained much of my original form, but with additions and elements of a fiendish capacity. All her 'natural' children look just like her."
>>64955"What kind of resistance we face?"
>>64955"I take it they're dead too?"
>>64956"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'."
>>64958"Are there any special pets that they have?"
>>64959Tracy's face betrays her interest.
".. We have bigger priorities..!"
>>64959"What do you mean by "special"? You're not looking to fill your petting zoo or whatever it is you were geeking about way back when are you?"
>>64960>>64961"Me weren't thinking of my zoo, me am worried they have magical creatures."
>>64959>"I'm the only special pet that matters! You guys can go to hell.""The scaly spaghetti brings up something I wanted to ask. How and when are we gonna head through the portal?"
>>64962"Oh. Yes, certainly. I'm sure there are entire books dedicated to the sorts of things we might encounter if we're not careful."
>>64963"When everyone is sufficiently rested and ready to go I assume. Perhaps GM will throw in a bit of cinematic pacing and illustration when that time comes."
>>64962"I'd be more afraid of the housekeepers.."
>>64964"Me ready to siege house bogandorf"
>>64966"I've got nothing to do and nothing to plan.." Tracy says, looking at her knife once more
"So I can head out as soon as everyone's ready."
"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.
>>64968“But otherwise we just rush in?” Stix says with a wince, knowing full well that he is about to go face first into fire central.
>>64968Snek is pretty much thrashing around hissing at the top of his lungs.
"Yeah he doesn't like this, I'm not a fan but I'll should be able to do something"
>>64969"Not exactly. Once inside is where we'll engage formation. We have two dragons for our flanks, so we should actually do alright, but some of us are rather squishy, and I'm not talking about you," again, her gaze drifts to Adeline and the Wyrms.
>>64971"Addy can stick close to me, me will give life to protect her."
>>64972"Didn't you hear your wife say you can't die either?"
>>64972"Well, once we're in the throne room that changes. Then, the two of
you become the target, and
I won't be able to help you."
>>64974"This just keeps getting better and better..."
