>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.

*lenos looks down the elveator shaft shaking his head* great another clumsy one
(Tries to pretend his shot isn't too painful to move"
Bruised, he gets up with no difficulty. "Hmmm, sturdy." Thez comments floating on thin air. "I'll make it up to you," she calls out, half apologetically
Tracy examines the room, which is absolutely covered in splatter.
>>66328It appears to be a hub in a line of a mass-transit system, specifically the food court. A number of run-down booths as well as an assortment of tables and chairs are strewn about.
>>66329She wanders further, ooking for anything that might interest her.
"Is this the place you were talking about?"
Looks about shaft for way out
>>66330[insert motivational poster meme here]
>>66324*cringes so fucking hard his legs nearly collapses*
>>66331"Yep! Weird, its much more dingy than I remember," Addy wanders about. "It was much more homey. Still, if you direct your attention over here," she says approaching a bank of windows, "You can see the WHOLE city," she says, withdrawing a wide set of curtains in front of a long set of curtains.
>>66332The ladder proceeds upward, otherwise theres an open panel to a room beneath him
*windows, tinted specifically
>>66335"Hmmm, nice view." Tracy says, snapping her chain to flick the ooze off
Addy skips off, eager to find one of the kitchens. "I bet this place is fully stocked, like when I first started looking... through... here it is!" Addy exclaims from beneath a counter, a cloud of dust dispersing from her activity.
>>66338"Fully.. stocked..?"
>>66340Her head pops up from under the counter.
"Well, yeah. The space-time continuum was reset, and the past is being re-paved. Meaning, I won't have the chance to raid the cooking supplies in the future,.. cuz I'm gonna do it NAO," she says, getting a slightly disturbed look on her face (quirky, not psycho)
>>66341"space time......"
>>66342Head pops up again. "Its not the future yet, which is when I raided these cupboards before. There should be plenty of sauce packets and seasoning mixes. The brown containers with the bull on it are barbecue sauce,... its the
best,...."
Grudgingly starts climbing up ladder carrying 100+ lbs of metal
>>66345<whoooof> Thez appears next to him. "Here, let me give you a hand. I have to wait a moment between jumps, otherwise I'd have caught you." she visibly counts down a few seconds before <whoooof> she and Gruu'mac join the remainder of the party.
>>66344"With the bull on it?"
Grudgingly hacks at some twitching fingers of a hand, just to make some kind of showing
(Feeling worthless and cranky, but not in a serious way)
>>66347"Yep! Its called "Bull's face" or something like it."
>>66349Gruu'mac chops frustratingly at killded zombies
"Don't feel bad, I didn't expect it to end so quickly either," Thez says.
>>66351"you find any bulls face?"
>>66352Addy scrunches her face. "Eww, I hope not."
*hearing that lenos decides to go back to the tower because he left his tankard there*
"Thez, have you seen Mr. Snek? We where preparing the airship and-"
Suddenly the giant snake falls off of the wall above Torc and squashes him
>"Here I am"
"Nevermind"
>>66356Thez peers mirthfully at the pile of snek on the wizard. "Oh, you seem to have this sorted,..." she walks off giggling.
Addy runs through the ruins, the base camp, and the various places with an oversized tray of tater tots, with rammekins of marinara. "Muuuuuuuuuuuu!"
Tracy check around for anything else she can get away with killing, before busying herself with cleaning.
>>66359There's some bugs, but its mostly just a decrepit ruin. Not much to kill, aside from the zombies that GM shoehorned in for surprise factor.
>>66360[disappointed hoers noises]
*unsheathes mop and gets to work*
>>66362"Don't look so sad! At least we don't have to hide, we can make as MUCH noise as we WANT!" Addy, who is still shadowing Tracy, starts banging on sheet-metal for kicks.
>>66363Tracy is on serial killer withdrawl.
It's been a while since she stabbed someone in the lung.
>>66364Addy stops and waits near Infernius, so he can grabs tots.
>>66365Cuz she didn't just go on a brutal rampage?
>>66366*eats the entire tray of tater tots*
>>66367Addy notices the tray is lighter than it should be, picks it off her head, and sees its empty. "Hey!" she stammers out.
"IF YOU WANTED LOTS OF TOTS YOU SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING!! REEEEEEEEEE!" Grumpy-faced, Addy wanders off to make more tots, muttering about ppl eating them all.
>>66366I guess she did.
Zombies aren't exactly entertaining for a serial killer though.
>>66367"REEEEEEEEEE! Save some for me!"
>>66370"REEEEEEEEEEEE! I'm eating for two here!"
*tries to grab tots but can't reach*
>>66371"hmmmm me guess me give tots to foal. me not giving these to you." *lowers tray*
>>66369No, but there's still the satisfaction that comes of wrecking like 30 enemies
in a single round,....
>>66374>>66373"where are we?"
>>66375"Durpistan,... didn't you notice?"
>>66376"no. lenos teleport us here."
>>66377"Oh,... thats a shame, cuz that means you didn't get to see the rock wall, or the weird assortment of stones that looked like a crane, or the other arrangement that looked like a pile of stones, or the pile of stones that looked like a pile of stones had caused an avalanche that buried a pile of stones in a pile of stones,... there were lots of rocks on the way,....
>>66378"the crane one sound cool."
>>66379"Oh there was so much to look at, you'll have to see. A person could spend a day or a year examining the qualities of a canyon or wind-swept gorge, and not waste a moment."
>>66380"me like rocks, me used to live in mountains."
>>66381"I don't know about mountains, just concrete. Concrete can be fun, cuz sometimes there's rocks IN it,... but otherwise its BO-ring," she sighs. "I like this Durpistan. Its familiar enough, but in other ways its a whole new
world," she exaggeratedly flops out on the ground, stretching out without a care. "We used to keep the zombies, for strategc purposes. Now I
CAN squish 'em." she smiles.
>>66382"life can be hard sometimes. but me am glad your here in this timeline addy. me am sorry that me wernt there for you before."
>>66383"I'm sure it wasn't your fault," she yawns expressively, "Iiiiiii'm, hua, I'm sure it was just an arbitrary decision by some faggot on the internet." big eyes. "If you've done your best at every 'now' you've experienced, there's nothing to be sorry for," she sits up and adopts an authortative stance, "Always strive to do your best! If you do your best you are beyond reproach! Murr murr murr!" she laughs. "Its not where I thought I'd be two weeks ago, and there are things I miss about,..." her eyes dart for a second, "... home, but Mom wanted me to be here, and I
almost always do what Mom wants." she nods affirmingly.
>>66384"yea, you right. hey can you read?"
>>66385"Uhm,... not really. I can sometimes make things out, but I don't know any written languages, no."
>>66386"want me to read you a book? its really good."
>>66388"its best book. it Mein kampf."
>>66389Incomprehensively, "Hmmmm, whats it about?"
>>66390"a man who loved his country alot. and defended it against his enimes who were trying to kill his people."
>>66374I can't test out any of my cool skills/abilities/attacks on creatures that are already dead tho..
>>66392Oh quit your whining, that wasn't even a fight, I just threw them in there cuz it was unexpected Xp
>>66393Pardon my griping.
*sharpens kitchen knives*
>>66397"You don't sleep very often do you? Me either. I try to sleep, but my mind always starts wandering and I end up going off to do other things. It drove mom up the wall," she giggles.
>>66398Tracy turns towards the cao slightly, her dark, gloomy eyes giving the impression that she hardly ever sleeps at all.
"... Not really..." she says
Tracy does whatever else she originally set out to do to make her birbs comfortable before proceeding to simply skulk about the place.
>>66395>name changeThe divorce is complete
>>66400"Ooooh! That reminds me!" Addy runs off,... again.
>>66402Tracy turns her head in interest, and follows suit.
After several moments of waiting, Tracy is greeted by the unmistakable sound of sliding hooves.
"Oh you insufferable child! Fine, what is it that you want?!" and into view comes Slovenia, who is being pushed and otherwise cajoled toward Tracy "Oh, hello there Tracy, it has been far too long." Slovenia smiles at her.
>>66405"Oh, hi Slovenia. Great to see you."
*looks past her, her eyes narrowed a bit*
"..Were you just outside the gate? What brings you to these parts?"
>>66406"This insistent little miscreant filed a contract for the renovation of Durpistan. The millers were more than willing to volunteer me for the task
probably just to be rid of me," she mutters with a malicious smirk. "They were proper and assisted me in setting up a proper cabin, its just outside the east gate of the city," she thinks for a moment. "Perhaps 'gate' is a bit generous,... the gaping hole in the east wall."
>>66407"... Yeah.." Tracy says, looking at the giant hole with a bit of a grimace
"That's going to be a pain and a half to fix.."
>says the mare who comes from the culture that builds barns without hands
>>66408"Quite the contrary. I understand the giant bull is around here yes? With his strength and my
discipline encouragement, it shouldn't take too long at all, at least as far as repairing and reinforcing the outside wall. In most cases, we don't even need to cut the logs, rather it will be stronger with the use of logs
who designed this place anyway? The city,...
that will take a bit longer."
A>"But you
can do it right?" Addy asks excitedly.
"Child, I hit your mother with a siege weapon, rebuilding a city - while time consuming - will be easy."
>>66409[chuckles a bit]
"So.. How many trees do you think you'll need for this project?"
>>66410"The wall?" She thinks for a moment, looking around the city (I'm assuming this is an open-area interaction). "I could probably do it with 30. The city I can't say yet, I need to survey more," she says, kicking a rock and sending it a good 30 yards away. The sound of it bouncing off concrete reverberates slightly in the empty city.
>>66411"You'll wanna estimate high.. I've seen a lot of shitty infrastructure in my days, but most of these buildings are beyond saving.."
>>66412"I didn't say I was going to rebuild the
buildings, I said I was going to rebuild the
city," she says with a wink. "... a bit longer," she reiterates.
>>66413"Well, if you ever need anything
(stabbed), feel free to give me a call. I'll be stabling around this dump for a while."
>>66414"Do watch out for the dragon, she's been rather pissy of late."
>>66415*walks towards dragon*
"Kynen is here! We should go find her!" Addy runs off.
>>66417I'd assumed her cave wouldn't be hard to find.
Tracy follows Addy towards where ever Killy's been sleeping.
>>66418Addy leads Tracy at a surprising pace (she couldn't
possibly outrun, but Tracy estimates that they're going at ~275'/round), precariously jumping over and around debris and tight passages, (potentially tripping and doing a faceplant, if shitty dice rolls) but iltimately leading to,....
A giant wall.
"Where's the hole? There is supposed to be a hole. Hmmm. I'm not sure I remember the other way to get in, let me see,...."
And she starts looking around the wall. It is a large, blank grey, concrete wall, which serves as the corner of a large building, the entrance of which is facing away from their current position.
>>66419*parkours after the cao*
>>66419"Wait, was there
supposed to be a hole there?"
>>66422She nods. "Its a big room with metal drawers all around. Kynen kept all her stuff there when I knew her,... but there was a big hole in the wall that led right in. There's a couple of different ways in, but I don't know them very well since the giant hole was so convenient and all. I'm trying to remember the easiest way, but I can't guarantee that it will be the same as I remember," she says waving at the wall irritated.
>>66423Tracy draws her rock-cutting knife, but then pauses, considering that there might be a dragon on the other side of the wall who wouldn't appreciate her cave being messed up without permission.
"Let's look for a way in. It's been a while since I've had a chat with her."
[1d20 = 14]
Rolling to find a way in
>>66424"Wait," Addy says. From her belt pouch she produces a small silk bag. Pouring out its contents into her hand immediately bathes the area around her in darkness and shadow. The object is a long necklace chain with an octahedron at the end which she wears openly on her chest, effectively centering a Darkness spell on her at all times. Pulling up her hood, she almost appears to vanish.
[1d20+22 = 42]>>66427Addy melts into the shadows (not enough to escape Tracy's notice) and leads her around the apparent alleyway onto a side-street leading to the front of the building. In towering (respectively speaking, Tracy has been around Trump for some time) letters, posted on the front of the building are the words "The United Bank of Schlomo".
>>66428Tracy follows er into the bank.
>floating claws rub together, without her command
>>66429The Bank of Schlomo is locked. "Fuck!" Addy exclaims. "I forgot to get lockpicks. Uhm,...." she seems to look at Tracy hopefully.
>>66430Tracy produces her lockpicks, which are on further inspection actually very small knives.
>>66430>>66431"Would you like to try?" Tracy says, offering Addy the ring of knives encouragingly
[1d20+6 = 20]>>66432"Thanks! I hope I don't break them," she says timidly.
[1d20+6 = 17]
First attempt is a failure
"Hmmmm. Its pretty difficult, I might be able to get it open if I keep trying,... but I might also end up jamming the lock," she says as though she may have jammed a lock or two.
>>66435"Pfft, you'll get it eventually. Keep at it."
>doesn't like doing it herself, cuz she has to use her mouth for these kinds of things
[1d20+6 = 24]>>66437"Okkay," bites her lip and tries again.
"DANG IT"
Splat noises
"I told you not to tackle me while casting the teleport spell"
>"Well sorry"
Torc and Snek are close enough to the rest that they can be heard.
<click>
"I got it!" she exclaims. The door swings slowly forward, alluding to how heavy and reinforced it was, and how much more difficult it would have been trying to break the door down. The inside is dark and dischevelled, with papers and occasional furniture strewn about. The floor is littered with this weird red tube-thing that connects to a bunch of posts which have been knocked over/aside, in spite of their wide bases. There are several doors, as well as windows with bars.
"Oh...kay..." Addy sighs. "You can't read by chance, can you?"
>>66439And also this happens.
>>66441"We should be nearby, Guys?"
Torc and Snek wander around knowing someone them have to be around
>>66440Tracy casts AoD, granting herself Darkvision.
"That I can do." she says, peering over her shoulder
>>66411"me hear you need me,wood hores?"
>>66443Tracy begins to search the room for anything interesting.
>>66444S> "Oh,... yes,... where did you come from exactly? Nevermind, you would be most useful in repairing the outer walls of this place. It wouldn't be now, but it would be soon. Adeline can be quite persistent."
>>66442Addy stops in mid-stride, and whispers to Tracy. "Should we go and get them, or should we keep going?" she asks, glancing at the signs above the 3 doors, two of which (to Tracy) say "Bathroom".
>>66446Tracy looks vaguely annoyed.
"... He'd probably get himself killed alone.."
>>66446"well me went to sleep after addy didnt want to read book. you have axe? me will get chopping."
>>66447"Its possible. We're living in a society."
>>66447Rude
>>66446the splat meant he was above the ground "Guys? Is that you?"
>>66449kek
Tracy dashes off with a *poof* and reappears with her mane on fire and a roughed-up mage anding from his scruff.
>>66450>ur vision blurs suddenly
>>66451"Hello Mr. NEET! We're trying to sneak in and see what Kynen is up to (yes, Addy mispronounces Kiynen)! You wanna join?"
>>66451>>66453"I, uh, uh, er"
>"HA MY SIDES""Screw you"
>>66453"I meant to see how she was settling in a while ago, but never got to
(cuz drama). I hope she's been comfortable."
The hallway shakes for a moment
"Weird, must be an earthquake from somewhere distant," Addy offers.
>>66459*hairs stand on end*
"I think that might be our dragon.."
>>66460"Nah, I'm sure that's the rumbling of some faggots somewhere on the internet. Nothing that concerns us I'm sure."
>>66459"... Better
not sneak up on her this time.." Tracy says
Tracy steps foreward and calls down the hallway.
"~KKiiiiiyneeeeen...! Are you alright...?!"
>>66461"Sounds like morning sickness to me." Tracy says, with a grimly sympathetic look on her face
>>66462A low and seething rumbling occurs from behind the barred windows. Its distant, but detectable.
>>66464Having already given away stealth, Tracy moves forward steadily.
>Snek hums mission impossible theme
What are the walls of this bank made out of?
>>66495I'm gonna risk a guess on something other than paper
>>66496I'd prefer to know the terrain, just for combat's sake.
>>66497I'm going to wander out upon a limb here and say some type of indoor room, maybe a hallway, either perfectly pristine or with ruble piles and cracks in the walls
for Snek to use as tail holds
>>66499What is this thing, a Spelljammer? That shit's expensive and an ordeal to work wit.
>>66500Tracy's flail is made of the same stuff.
Magick weapons have greater hardness too.
Alright well. Where we last left off, Tracy and Torcuil/Snek were creeping slowly into the bank of Schlomo with Addy (who really isn't helpful btw) while attempting to determine what is up with Kiyenin who has been,... less interactive recently
>>66504Tracy wanders ahead silently.
>>66504>"Maybe we can take out a loan for your cannons""Maybe I can use you as collateral"
>>66505"From what I gathered in the Worst Timeline, Killy should've been knocked up by now... I wonder if she's had the cramps yet..." Tracy mutters to nobody in particular
>>66505Care to be more specific? There are 3 doors available, and 2 of them have Restroom written over them.
"Maybe its these?" Addy whispers, pointing toward the bathroom.
>>66504*dabs on wood hores*
>>66509Wood hoers - Slovenia - pulls out a long and slender metal device, which when she pushes a protrusion on (which turns red) inhales as though the device is a straw. As she retains the breath, her eyes redden a bit, and she blows a cloud of smoke at Infernius.
Coughing lightly, she asks "What was that now?"
>>66508Tracy walks into the ladies restroom.
[1d20+31 = 32]>>66508Snek slithers right through the third, non-restroom door...
Silently I might add
>>66512As far as Snek is concerned, he's silent AF
Meanwhile, amidst the clattering of chairs and desks against one another,....
>>66513Torc wonders how much Snek's skin would fetch on the market before following behind, knowing all stealth is blown.
"We trained, and trained, and at the first opportunity he fucks it up..."
>>66511>stalls are all either too big or too smallAssuming she didn't sense anything in the restroom, Tracy follows silently behind Snek, giving him a several squares leeway.
>>66516"I think there's something behind these," Addy says, eyeballing one of the mirrors.
>>66515K, so Snek is leading the investiation (outside the bathroom that is)?
>>66517Tracy turns
"Drugs?" she ponders curiously, examining the mirror
>>66518"Drugs? I was thinking there might be armor powerups," Addy says, making a Duke Nukem reference.
>>66519Tracy's tone implies she speak from experience
*checks behind mirror*
>>66517Snek and then Torc went through the one door not labeled restroom, so yes?
>>66521Behind the door, they find the room is expansive and dark. 6' walls line the area, directing foot traffic into particular areas. Oh, and there's an occasional low rumbling
>>66522"Tracy, Addy? I think this might be the right way"
Torc and Snek start heading towards the noise.
>>66523Addy hears this, looks at Tracy, shrugs and then skips out of the bathroom
>>66523Tracy smashes every mirror or clay pot in the room before leaving.
>>66525Unfortunately, Addy was mistaken, there's nothing behind the mirrors
>>66526"Meh, it was worth a try." Tracy says, putting her flail away
>>66527She follows at the tail of the group
Torcuil finds himself in a maze of cubicles, the area unnaturally dark. Snek is super-sneaky (he's not, but he thinks he is). There's generally 3 directions, only one of which seems to lead in a communal direction.
>>66529Torc quickly swings around a hand as he casts dancing lights.
"Alright, let's see"
Torc considers a second before heading in the direction of the communal path.
>>66529>unnaturally darkWas there anything lighting the way beforehand?
>>66531Just ambient sunlight. Up until this point, there's been plenty of windows and such, allowing the area to be illuminated outside any particular light sources. Beyond that point, there are minimal light sources and windows. It's not unnatural in the sense of there being a spell, but unnatural in that someone has designed this area to eperience less light.
>>66530Tracy lingers behind the rest of the group, using the darkness for cover.
>>66533kek, Flash Sentry embellished
The area shows signs of mismanagement,... raid not withstanding. There's an open passage, and two less open passages
>>66532"Hmmm.. no windows, eh? I guess this is where they dealt with their more (((sensitive))) business."
>>66536Tracy arbitrarily wanders down one of the less-open paths, to the right.
>>66537Aside from a disturbed collection of papers, there's only a stray briefcase. The path dead-ends.
>>66538Tracy kicks a stack of papers over before turning.
>>66539Spilling dust everywhere, the stack of papers falls and spews all over the floor. Nothing else significant seems apparent.
>>66540"You guys go on ahead. I'm gonna break any clay pots lying around." Tracy says, before wandering down the opposite hallway
[1d20+2 = 16]
[1d20+3 = 11]
>"Wrong way"
"Well where should we go"
>"I don't know"
"Then shut up and look around"
Rolling search checks for both.
[1d20+21 = 32]>>66542Tracy also Searches the area
Addy pauses mid-stride with a confused look on her face, clearly thinking that if she doesn't move no one will notice her.
>>66541Tracy wanders down the other corridor, which also terminates rather quickly. She almost trips over a clear-ish rock that is lying on the floor, seeming to have been knocked from a nearby desk (the area having the same dissortment of papers)
>>66544*grabs rock-thing with demon claw*
"Hmmm, I wonder what this could be." she mutters, peering past the desk for any clues
"Whoever ran this dump certainly never heard of a shredder."
>>66545Torc walks over before casting detect magic on the stone.
>>66546It glows with a moderate intensity.
>>66545"What *is* this place?"
The place shudders again, with a low grumbling sound.
"You know, the buildings never did that where I'm from,...."
[1d20+24 = 26]>>66547Torc spends another two rounds investigating, and a spellcraft check to determine school of magin.
>>66547Tracy ears droop somewhat at the rumbling.
"They don't..." she says grimly
>>66549"Neat!"
>>66548Torcuil continues searching the area, discovering a number of ways to save money on his car insurance. Aside from the briefcase, there's nothing.
>>66548The stone is highly magnetic, but doesn't seem suited to a particular purpose that Torcuil can determine.
>>66550>car insuranceKek.
Tracy, having broken all of the pots, continues down the center path, now rather cautiously.
>>66551When in doubt, take the magical item that could blow up without warning.
Torc sticks the rock in his pocket until he can investigate it more.
"Find anything Tracy?"
[1d20 = 18]>>66552As Tracy proceeds, a deafening roar echoes from deeper in the building.
"I know that voice!" Addy says, slackening her left leg and falling (almost comically) into a patch of shadow.
>>66553reeeee that's my rock"I've got a prickly feeling about this, NEET. Stay back a few paces while i check it out.", draping her supernatural shroud around herself
>>66554Tracy, having heard the same roar before, advances cautiously and slowly, activating the ring on her claw-hand to turn invisible.
