>Mixed NutsTo some, its a delightful role-playing venture based (loosely) on 3.5e D&D rules. To others its the worst thing to happen to Mlpol
>What it doOn weekends we engage a dynamic storyline based largely on the GM's capacity to create and illustrate the ongoing storyline.
>What about me?New players and shitposters are always welcome. We have prohibited excessive >lewd, but non-players can assume casual roles as available (at the moment the world is a desolate wasteland tho so not for a bit) or work with existing players and GM to create a new character. 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, Taylor Swift,... there's others. 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.
Currently the party is facing almost certain death. Thez squares off against Igritchkora of Bog, while the party - and Torcuil in particular - have managed to piss off an entire royal court of devils and demons. They're in hell though, so at least their opponents will politely wait their turn.

>>65534"Yeah no that's fine, it may be a little bit though. We gotta overthrow the kingdom of hell"
This isn't another mummy situation is it?
Thez casts True Strike on self. A flickering aura of tiny embers dances around her body. Bog laughs dismissively. "And what do you think will result of this action?"
Bog casts Invisibility, and vanishes.
"Do you think that you're going to just hit me, and then everything will be well. Look at those that your friends are engaging. Do you think this will go well for them? And what of your daughter? You have done well to hide this, but you must appreciate what is her overwhelmingly probable fate?"
>>65536Worse, though not nearly as bad as it could have been. That Sanctuary truncated icosahedron did sway things significantly. By the way, there have been deaths from among the devils who are still fighting over that.
>>65538>That Sanctuary truncated icosahedron did sway things significantlyYep, uh-huh I totally know what you are talking about.
>>65539>scared >>65538Bog's laying down the trash talk with no let-up.
>>65540He means the ball idea was good thinking.
Now we only have to deal with the uber-bosses while everyone else in the fucking castle is held-up in a mortal combat clusterfuck over a single ball.
>>65543Not really. That 20 means someone popped the ball.
>>65544REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>65543Ah, yep totally got that.
>>65544Fuck
That erstwhile entirely-distracted mob of devils is now looking around, searching for something to distract themselves with, to lessen the pain of the pretty ball that once was and is no more.
[1d20+30 = 45]>>65548In a manner not dissimilar to the hoard of blacks some time ago, the devils begin to swarm and surge toward the party.
As they do so, DZ attempts another teleporting, acrobatic charge, attacks, this time spinning over Lenos in his departure.
As DZ appears behind Torcuil and thrusts his most wicked of rapiers through the other's chest from behind, pausing during the impalement to venture close and whisper, "No offense mate," he then draws the rapier from Torcuil in a dramatic stance, waiving any further motion. DZ now stands at the center of the party, Torcuil in dying at his feet. Stix and Snek get attacks of opportunity. I never filled in about Snek did I? Snek is peeking out of a ventilation shaft in the roof. From both ends, including pistol.
[1d20+38 = 53]
*lenos tries to swat dz out of the air with his tail*
[1d20 = 6]>>65553Another attack.... however an arrow is supposed to help, I don’t know...
[1d20+11 = 28]>>65553Snek fires as well as he can through the red mist.
>>65556Dat pali
And wtf happened to the quads?
The shadows where Addy was take form for a moment, swinging Thez' quarterstaff at DZ's legs ineffectively. Snek fires, which is deflected by some shiny black metal things on DZ's shoulders. With his wings wide in a dominant gesture, DZ is a skinny fiend in a pompous gambeson embroidered and detailed in an intricately elaborate fashion. Its moderately disturbing in overall aesthetics, but it maintains a degree of regality.
>>65553I think I kind of like DZ..
Others immediately surrounding DZ's position can take attacks of opportunity, or adjust initiative.
>>65561"... Nice blade.." Tracy says, the words falling out of her mouth involuntarily as she watches Torc's blood drip off of the rapier
>>65563>>65561Can i summon Adolf Hitler as a AOO?
[2d20 = 32]>>65563After taking an atosecond to admire his equipment, Tracy makes two rapid thrusts at him, flanking him with her own rapier, both with a +26 modifier.
DZ wipes his blade on his wings. "I hope there won't be any retaliation. It was business, after all."
Torcuil meanwhile, collapses in a heap.
At this point, almost anyone can take action. I'm venturing away from a turn-based system, and more basing it off player input. If a character is attempting to do too many things at once, I'll say something.
[1d20+11 = 15]>>65564"R-really Tracy?"
>>65567Snek decides it's time to shoot again
Thez meanwhile, is watching Torcuil die in a pool of his own blood, while Bog taunts her from an indiscernable location.
"You see? This was a fool's venture. Surely you must have known that this could never turn out for you? Except, no you
couldn't have known that could you? You were not
here. Well then. I'll let you in on a secret."
"This was our wish," Bog says, appearing next to Thez.
>>65565In what world does attack=summon?
>>65567Tracy just landed two Sneak attacks, and would continue to do as much damage as she can while she still can.
[4d20 = 26]>>65567Full-round sneak attack, if she has the time.
>>65571[1d20 = 14]I go for a stab with my sword then.
>>65574how do you use that system?
[1d20+17 = 29]>>65561"You know what goes great with a second attempt to kill the mage? Football. That's right. America's favorite goddamn pastime besides racism, frivolous litigation, and gun violence. Whether it's your Monday night line up, your plans to impress that chick you wanted to bang in high school, the list of reasons your father is disappointed in you, or your favorite moments with Tommy Wisseu, Football goes great with everything"
Tosses a Football at the devil
>>65573I mean... Meh?
>>65578Oh, look what the demons dragged in
no offense meant, kick their ass Okay *this* is a melee. D&D makes melee seem like an orderly sequence of events, but no. Its a whole shit-ton of things happening at almost the same time, but in quarter-second increments.
>>65573Wow
>>65574Whats his BAB + STR?
>>65578A thundering sound echoes in the distance, through the walls and structures of the Bog balas. XDDDD
>>65580.... So.. Did she do some major damage before fucking up? She's got Deadly Precision..
[1d20+38 = 40]
*seeing torc die lenos roars and slashes at dz with his claws*
>>65566The chain strangely darts away and connects with those strange things on his shoulder. Her strike with the rapier connects successfully.
>>65583Lenos is breaking formation, despite the wave of devils about to attack?
[1d20+38 = 40]>>65584Sorry no i forgot how fare away he was
>>65580Trumpaladin smiles at the noise
"Sounds like your daddy is coming back to give you all those lessons in catch you missed as children."
>>65588Of 2 2s, 1 in 400. Of any two numbers being repeated, 1 in 20
>>65584Hissing with rage, Tracy whirls her cloak to conceal herself, and makes another double-thrusting sneak attack with her invisible rapier.
[2d20 = 17] >>65590I have no idea what I just rolled...
>>65585In a glorious arc of flame
cuz somehow Infernius remembered to ignite his sword DZ takes a swing from Infernius.
>>65590You can't double-attack with a single weapon
>>65592It's quickened though, right? 1 extra melee attack.
>>65592Did he attempt to catch the ball or did he come from a broken home with no father figure to learn how to play catch from?
[1d20 = 14]
DZ leaps dice feet in the air, and begins to gracefully fly/twirl using Technique; Device-enhanced Dramatic Acrobatic Parry.
[3d20+30 = 65]>>65597Had a +13 modifier on it, except I fugged the spacing. It was a 27' jump, spinning gracefully toward the ground and getting/causing attacks of opportunity.
Attacks are against Kiynen, Infernius, and Stix.
>>65594Actually, he sidesteps the football.
Those attacks don't have a 30 modifier actually, its +25, +20, +15, etc since they're successive attacks. So, 30, 36, 29 to K, I, and S
Meanwhile, Torcuil is rapidly bleeding out.
>>65602Wait, he's alive?!
Seeing this, Tracy pokes him desperately with her curing wand.
Also, the aforementioned (K, I, and S) also get AoO of their own.
>>65601"I see why you dance around up there like an underemployed ballerina. If you were down here, your ass would be beaten as quickly as Jeb!"
>>65602Lay of hands to restore 1 point of HP to Torcuil
>>65605Cure critical wounds on the autist
>>65604Well yeah, unless the person is horribly maimed/disfigured, you can usually heal them immediately after getting mauled and be okay. Death takes a round or two to set in, often.
>>65606This draws a sneer from his face.
>>65609Tracy makes sure the neat is stabilized, using her cloak to conceal the two of them for a few seconds.
[3d8 = 19]>>65608K
"Okay, this is just getting pathetic." Goth devil says.
Casts Cone of Cold, Maximized.
Roll reflex (dice 1d20+dex) saving throws, everyone
>>65609"I'm guessing your dance moves aren't any more impressive to the men than they are to us, otherwise you'd be out in the clubs in the Castro right now"
[1d20+8 = 25]
Stix’ reflex
[1d20+15 = 31]>>65611"Coming from the expert on Pathetic. I've seen better moves from feverish homeless people dodging traffic in Washington. Better clothing too. Sad!"
[2d20 = 25]>>65613Easily and effortlessly avoids a chilling wave of frigid energy, alongside Tracy with equal ease.
Infernius manages to jump aside, leaving Kiynen, Torcuil, Snek, and Addy. Dice is K and A
>>65617>>65615The Castro is San Fransisco's gayest gay district. The point is that if he were any good at being a duelist, he'd be trying to pick up gay men there
>>65621Well, I know that first part, I just figured Tracy wouldn't have any clue what he meant.
Frost growing along her scales and wings, Kiynen shrugs off the effects of the spell. Not uninjured, but not too bothered.
Meanwhile, that bard fellow is still standing there, and Death is patiently waiting for Torcuil to decide if he's dead or alive, since he just got hit by another spell (reflex save)
>>65624It's 2:30 where we are. He probably passed out after thinking he was dead.
it's getting late... >>65624"Oh please. I get a cooler blast of air from opening my freezer door. You couldn't keep ice cream from melting in the summertime."
[1d20+2 = 19]>>65625We can semi-retire for the night. Dice is Torcuil's save. Save or not, the party made it to the initial threshold I pre-rolled for and can engage the denouement scenario/fight. Kudos (read bonus XP) to Tracy/Infernius for the
ricegame-ball no jutsu, that was one of those role-playing moves I was talking about that can totally sway the result.
>>65627Well, I gotta pass out nao
Goodnight faggots
Even still bleeding, Torcuil has the presence of mind to escape the wave of cold. The perpetrator is one of three praying-mantis-lookin-motherfuckers, except they're blue and they're in midair and they're just kinda flying there. At the same time a handful of giant gargoyle-lookin' things flutter their wings angrily, the effects of the charm wearing off to their extreme dissatisfaction. A number of black shadows dart this way and that, as well as some whisps of steam. The party finds its self again surrounded on almost all sides, an open space between themselves and Thez, who still stands there listening to her surroundings, waiting for her opportunity.
>>65630Night, it's gonna be description, cinematics, and embellishment from here on, until tomorrow
[1d20+38 = 42]
*having dodged the cone of cold lenos leaps at dz to attack*
>>65631"That DZ fellow ran faster away from us than Bill Clinton at the sight of Chris Hansen. Who wants to get beat next?"
\r
>>65633Vaulting through the air to avoid the oncoming spell and unleashing his full draconic fury on DZ, Lenos performs a Death-From-Above maneuver.
DZ>Quickened Improved Teleport
Unfortunately, Lenos comes crashing to the ground, absent a target. From above and semi-flanking DZ appears with a swish sound.
"Hummmm. I guess there is Dragons," says the Chad devil.
"Oh yes, I had already decided to attack, I just hadn't said anything yet, for strategy," says a waif-ish devil.
