>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.

"Hell if I know"
What does Tracy see as she slowly sneaks towards the tower's entrance?
>>64152The tunnel trends and bends upward at a curve, leading toward the unmistakable pyramid entrance of the tower. As Tracy creeps forward, she notices an unnatural and lingering darkness upon the area, unnaturally diminishing the available light.
>>64154Infernius proposes casting a spell that will take an entire day to effectively perform. The party has the opportunity to interject.
>>64153Keeping her eyes and ears perked, Tracy advances at half her pace.
She pulls out her Detect Magick wand and checks for any possible nasty detection/trap that may have been cast in the vicinity of the entrance.
>>64155I move to veto this action
>>64156The air tingles with magic of the darkness spell, but beyond the entrance is impossible to determine
>>64157"We'll need to rest eventually, but I agree; we don't need to stop yet. Unless you're hoping to hallow the Tower, which will require much more exploration than just walking toward the entrance."
Which technically, only Tracy has yet done so
>>64158Torc and Snek follow, eager to get out of this timeline
>>64158Gulping, Tracy advances forward.
>>64159Stay enough paces back not to mess up her stealth, pls.
Lenos and his lady start trying to herd the rest of the party up the tunnel
>>64159Torcuil and Snek plod along behind, ensuring that any stealth that Tracy has established is otherwise wrecked. They, and much of everyone likewise I would assume, find very much the same thing. The Triangular-arched doorway of the temple is shrouded in darkness, all that issues forth is a clinking sound, as well as a very distant argument from the sounds of things.
Thez>Ready-move <whoooof>
>>64162>stealth wreckedreeeeee
[1d20 = 14]>>64159*pokes with stick*
>>64158>>64162"Fine me can wait to hallow. Lets go"
*walks into the doorway.*
[1d20+25 = 32]>>64164Get fucked
"Hmmmmm..."
Torc walks right up and inspects the darkness
spellcraft check
Thez is holding to the back with Kiynen and Lenos, entirely fixated on keeping Adeline safe.
>>64168Its magical, no doubt about it
[1d20 = 14]
Being in a strange area where they were just attacked at, Stix listens for anymore trouble that may be around the corner.
Listen check
>>64169How useful
"Welp, I know one thing about this with absolute certainty"
Torc turns around to face the others
"It's definitely some type of magic"
>"What would we do without you?"
[1d20+25 = 33]>>64169Tracy glares threateningly at everyone who walked up behind her, before advancing towards the sounds.
Rolling to Sneak.
>>64170A distant but continuous rattling of metal against metal some distance away along the dais area, also the arguing sounds lower in the tower.
>>64173Tracy sneaks towards the dais.
>>64174Tracy begins to speed off, allowing none of the other characters the opportunity to plan or strategize. Only by making an obvious sound could they stop her now.
Thez lunges out suddenly. "Addy don't! Fuck!"
A giggling follows Tracy.
>>64158Trumpaladin casts Daylight on himself, and walks into the Tower
>>64171"No shit"
>>64177"REEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
>>64178The darkness quickly negates the daylight, only allowing about 15' of illumination despite the ordinary effects of the spell. This is not enough range to see Tracy or Addy, especially since the latter is literally clothed in shadows.
>>64181Heads towards addy.
>>64181Proceeds steps forward into the Tower, and detect evil with the move and standard action. Moves along with Fae.
Now what part of the tower are we in?
>>64183We're at the entrance.
Where are you headed?
>>64184Tracy is headed towards the dais, although she neglected to say so.
>>64184Dias, since it is the most logical location for a portal to hell
Unless we can get Stix another or something
Tracy continues as quickly as she can without hampering her stealth excessively.
>>64186Has Thez mentioned that she's trying to get to hell yet?
>>64188Yes. That conversation was had in Durpistan, when Trumpaladin asked her how she believes the damage could be undone, Thez said "I must retake my throne." And she confirmed that she meant the House of Thez and not the Elven kigdom on followup
[1d20 = 13]>>64183Stix follows Trump as he goes into the tower. He decides that such a place taken over by the enemy must have some sort of trap awaiting them.
Search check
>>64189Wait, so is the party's goal to get to a portal?
>>64191What did you think it was?
>>64190*Pets on the head*
"Good Job Stix. Keep searching as we proceed"
>>64188To my understanding yes, but its been some time since that was iterated
>>64191Get to the rooms
I guess Torc and Snek follow them all
"Yeah, let's just run into the strange darkness, I'm sure nothing bad will happen to us."
>>64194"White and Nerdy one, my aura of daylight is being suppressed. What would give off continual darkness?"
>>64195Ay, nice reference"Uh, now this might sound far-fetched, I'm gonna guess a darkness spell"
>>64193I'm not exactly sure where the rooms are, but Tracy advances towards the rattling sound she heard earlier.
>>64197Well this is the tower
before
Oh motherfu-
I have to leave for the next half hour.
I'm sorry guys..
>>64196"No shit, but what would make it last this long?"
>>64198Peek into the stables
>>64199Well Tracy is set in motion anyway. Addy is shortly behind, with Infernius following further behind.
>>64199There are layers and piles of horsehide alomg with buckets and jars of a red liquid.
>>64200"Make it permanent? That's my best guess"
>>64201>horse hide"Poor horses"
>>64201>Horsehide"Oh.... Oh no"
>"Torcuil? You okay buddy?"
>>64201Uh, was that intended for me or for Tracy?
>>64202"Let's walk up to the Dias. Peek into the stable along the way"
>>64207The horsehide is in the stable, so for you. Oh, sorry, I mis-linked it.
>>64205You've seen deadpool's uniform right?
>>64208Trumpaladin is silent for a moment, but then says,
"Felicia?"
He moves further into the room to inspect it
>>64211Stix lags behind Trump and is noticeably sickened by the display.
>>64212>>64211Torc silently follows behind as Snek stays by the door
>>64211No answer issues forth. The stables are mute and effectively dampened
>>64216The moment Tracy ran off up the stairs
>>64216Tracy went off and did her own thing, with Adolphina following and then Infernius following her.
Trumpaladin peeked into the Stables, and Torcuil, Snek, and Stix have as well
>>64218Is he still on his way to the dais like earlier?
>>64219Yes, but at the moment, the other group is inspecting the stables, since they stumbled upon pure horror
>>64220Its not bloody skins, its meticulously washed skins and buckets of
blood an undisclosed dark-red hue.
>>64219My understanding is that Tracy, Addy, and Infernius
>>64221I thought Brad was going there too, since he mentioned the portal.
Okay then, so Tracy didn't pass by the stables.
Can she determine the source of the rattling?
>>64221"I don't like this..."
>>64221Detect evil from the center of the stables, to cover the whole stables
"Hello? Is anyone there?"
>>64221Tracy presses on towards the dais, in stealth.
>>64221*whispers*
"Addy come back."
The ambient rattling increases
*sneaks closer, dagger drawn*
>>64230*wanders down hallway*
>>64230How far ahead is Tracy in relation to the rest of the group?
"Whatisthis?"
"Theydonotknowpain."
"Theysmelllikefukkinhumans."
>whooosh noises
"Whodares,"
all these are whispered as the party slowly - and not-so-slowly - advances.
>>64234What else is in the stables?
>>64234"... I think I recognize that autism.." Tracy says under her breath as she creeps closer.
>>64234"REEEEE GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY TOWER!"
>>64234Does Torc hear that?
The metal-on-metal rattling continues. As the party/players continue, a backdrop of chains becomes evident.
The tower is largely as it was, except drape everywhere are chains. With the unnatural dakrness the chains are faint and peripheral.
>>64238Everyone hears that
>>64239>>64241Uh, if Detect evil and a call do not reveal anything in the stables, then proceed to the stairs to go upwards
>>64242faggy is up, with two smaller signatures down
[1d20 = 7]>>64241Perception
>>64240"AfuckingGnome?"
>"AFUCKINGGNOME?!"Snek shoots off after the source of the sound, and Torc chases him before Snek has a meal Gnome a la mode.
>>64244Trumpaladin ckecks his knowledge of the structure. That portal room.... It's in the top, right?
>>64246The tower is no longer friendly
>>64247"Ooooh,thisoneisquick."
"Notlikethelastone."
"Ortheonebefore."
"Therewasthatone."
"Yeahbtheowesusmoney."
"LIkemoneyisanyuseforusnow."
>>64249"The towers not friendly!"
>>64250A shadowy reee/shudder issues throughout, spurred by Trump's declaration
>>64251"WE SHALL SILENCE YOUR FALSE SONG FOREVER!"
[2d20 = 22]
Two shiny objects dart at Tracy as she climbs the stairs
>>64249"IhaveafeelingIknowtheotheroneyouaretalkingabout.Camelookingforanairshipcannon?Talkedtohimselfsometimes?Hadagiantsnaketoo?"
Torc then takes a moment to catch his breath
>>64251"After we kill you shadow kikes me am gonna cover your bodies and the tower in bacon!"
As Tracy ascends the central staircase, she feels pulled from back and to the left by her arm. Looking, she finds a wicked barb protruding from her hoof, stretching across into the darness
>>64254"Compounded!"
"Interest!"
"Leviedproperty!"
"Afuckinghuman!"
Whispers from the surrounding environment.
>>64256e_bil without underscore
[1d20+4 = 24]
[1d20 = 10]
Everyone roll initiative, +4 is Thez
Thez spins in place
T>Ready move, sunder the incoming strike on Addy
[1d20 = 14][1d20+6 = 16]>>64259Rolling. Fae is the one with the modifier
[1d20 = 6]>>64259Stix initiative
[1d20 = 7][1d20+3 = 21]>>64257"I told you this would happen"
>"I have to admit, this is the last thing I would have expected to happen""Anyway,I'mawaremyfriendisindebtbutIcanhelpyouwiththepaymentifyouhe- What was thou"
>>64259So it turns out Snek gets a +3 to initiative
Thez (1st) detects nothing, maintains ready-stance.
Fae, Trump, Stix
Elsewhere
Sentry, Infernius
Thez got 20 so already moved.
Snek is #2, Torcuil is last so far
>>64268Uh, Are Fae, Trump or Stix aware of any enemies in their vicinity?
Lenos and Kiynen being more brute-forcers. they can interject but squish
At current, Tracy only, and she's barbed
[1d20+16 = 32]>>64271Trumpaladin does his round to Detect Evil again
Fae does a Spot check
>>64271Can she react to being barbed?
>>64268It took me a very long time to figure out who "Sentry" was
[1d20+9 = 29]>>64268Snek 'blep blep's and listens a bit while Torc isn't talking to the Gnomes
[1d20 = 13]>>64272“What’s wrong Trumpaladin?”
Stix listens for more trouble in the dark
>>64276Whispers to the little pony"There's a Globalist. It would be nice to bypass him but if we must face him let him come to us
[1d20 = 17]>>64272There's four serious signatures, fluctuating in their positions.
>>64273Depends on dice
>>64274Who are you, and what have you done with real Trump?
>>64275"Thisfuckinghuman."
"Herolledanat20."
"Iknowright?"
"Technicallywehavetogiveinformation."
"Nowedon't,wecompliedwiththecontract!"
"He'sright,whatcamelaterwasnotourdoing."
"YOURdoing,Iwouldhavehadussippingmartinis!"
"Nowisnotthetime,"
A whoooshing sound permeates
>>64278What is their proximity? Does he know enough to make a strike of his own, or to communicate to others?
>>64278"IfImaybesobold,whatcontractandwhatsthatwhooshingsound?"
>>64279Whispered ambiently. Only Tracy and Stix have a chance of pinpointing atm
>>64281Is the barb thing sticking out of her leg sufficient enough to draw a straight line towards the enemy?
>>64280"Hesoundstasty,"
"Hecertainlyknowssoshouldbeeaten."
"Afuckinghuman! Let'seat'im!"
"Pain." This one sounds/feels different
So Tracy and followers are ascending upwards. Trump, Stix, Torcul, etc are invading lower levels?
>>64284Until her turn, Tracy stares directly down the line at the space where the faggot who shot her should be standing.
>>64285Uh.... I think so? Last I checked they would be in or about the Stables. Certainly they are not as high as Tracy
[10d6 = 32]>>64283"Fuck"
>"You know, I'm glad you didn't let me eat these Gnomes"If it's Torc's turn now he decides to have an LGBTBBQ and sends a lightning bolt arcing towards the voice.
If it's not his turn, he does it when it his turn
>>64288B-but what if everyone's connected by the chains?
Too late tho..
>>64286The barb, which has remained motionless, still hangs (ish) from her pale hide. A spot of blood is all that really mars the scene (her hoof).
>>64288
>>64290Oh, I thought it was connected to a wire.
>>64292Don't worry, Tracy is still controlled
"We're about to fight things by the way!" Thez calls from near or far, giving bonuses to save against illusions.
>>64291I'm gonna assume that's the reflex save and kindly inform you that the strange voice failed
>>64296Try magick missile. It's pretty consistently good against enemies with concealment.
Stix readies his bow.
“And I was hoping we cleared out the trouble”
Trumpaladin calls out to the Darkness
"We're right here you Globalist Weasels. Did you think you had finished us before?"
Trumpaladin pulls Vanderiem and the Bees shield, and readies a full round attack on whatever unfriendly comes in his space
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
Can Tracy lash out at the thing that shot her?
So far, Snek/Trump
Fae
Tracy
Stix(?)
Other then that Thez rolled a 20, dice is Addy, idk about Trump, Infernius or Torcuil
As Tracy crests an elevated position along the tower staircase
>>64302Stix readied his bow in
>>64298
>>64307Oops nevermind that roll
Three weird snek sounds dart toward Tracy. A couple more toward Addy (thats 7/12) and Thez (another 2, 8 more to go)
d20's if you please (-2 for everyone not indicated)
[1d20 = 20][1d20 = 14]>>64310Sure
The tower now is a mass of swirling and clattering chains. Chains of all size and variety hang along the tower walls
>>64314Tracy pulls out her own chain.
>>64316As 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
[4d20 = 41]>>64317Tracy lashes out at the center of the image with her own spiked chain, stabbing into the large opponent with a full round attack.
>>64318Now you
definitely don't have four attacks with the chain
So currently, Thez and Tracy have a chance go act. Additional characters will, but after modifiers
>>64321Was rolling a Nat 20 bad?
>>64322Nat 20 is never bad, but only Tracy gets the bennies
>>64323Did Tracy's attack land?
>>64324No, but those werent attack rolls, they were supposed to be initiative
[3d20 = 30]
But while we're at it we may as well. 1st gets +4
"WehavesuchWONDERStoshowyou,"
"AfuckingHUMAN,"
"THISfuckinghuman!"
"Iexplodesometimes."
A sound not unlike the tightening of chains echoes throughout the temple.
>>64330Still initiative rolls,... 1st is 2nd, last is 1st, and mid is last.
>>64331Ce-gnome-bites in this case
(comparble to Cenobytes, but with gnomes)
So Thez and Trump had first move. Tracy has second move, followed by Fae, Infernius, and others.
[4d20 = 60]>>64335If enemy perceptible within striking distance by either vision or Detect Evil, then full round attack. If no enemy perceptible within striking distance, then ready a full round attack for the time an enemy comes within perception.
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
>>64337pls save these dice rolls if he cannot make a melee attack yet. That's a Nat 20 and a 19, which is also within Vanderiem's threat range
>>64338>wants to maintain >boufAny objections? Its gonna get complicated,....
>>64339What's going on? Can we even see the enemy?
>>64340The advance group (headed by Tracy) is pressing the stairwell. There are noises.
The rest are mingling around the base. Safe, but ill advised
>>64341"Something's ahead of us." Tracy whispers back, as if it weren't obvious.
She takes a move action to determine the direction of the scents of the creatures.
>>64342Can she sense the creatures ahead?
>>64342>>64341*cats grace on tracy*
The ambient chains begin to rattle excessively. No penalties, but its a jarring sound
>>64346Tracy moves towards the rattling, sword in maw.
[1d20 = 11]>>64346I use my movement action as a perception check to try and find the enemies that are whispering.
>>64347Clinkety clink clink,... clink
The sound quiets
>>64347Eager and on edge, Tracy braves forward, as silence descends on the entire group.
"NOW!" cuts through the silence, as Thez begins to assault the brooding darkness around them. "Focus!"
