>>68557>>68554>>68557he holds his ground for a moment, then blinks.
"Alright all right, I'll give you the money I saving for an engagement ring"
He hands over the other bits. The Zebra nods at Iron in contentment
[1d20+5 = 15]>>68553"i Would Argue that Capitalism and.....wait what where was called again? Fashieism? i would argue that they are 2 very different things From What ive Seen."
>>68561"It is, all the same, a distraction from the Worker's state and the class struggle. The Blackhooves are imperialists, and they don't accept the Griffon working class as equals in their society
>>68560"Good riddance. You do not need a ring to claim a mare.", he turns to the Zebra mare, waiting her next move. Along the way, she asks why a zebra is here instead of her homeland.
>>68563"That's a fairly normal take, although most will pay up immediately, and some really don't have money. My family came here before I was born. My father was a sailor who visited this land. He liked it so much he moved here with his wife, and I was born here"
>>68564He nods. "Your father sounds strong. Did he battle often?"
>>68562"No Griffons iv seen has been treated poorly by the black hooves."
>>68565"No, no. He was employed out of a port in Zebrica. We were part of the 'upper class' I guess. But I've been told I had great grandfathers who saw battle"
>>68566"Why, they are impressed into military service and not allowed into the government"
>>68567"Because this State was traditionally pony land?"
>>68567"That is fine. I have not seen many strong ponies around here either so it is understandable." He looks around. "So who is next in line to collect?"
>>68486"A pleasure Ms. Prancer, please enjoy your drink, and do let me know if I can be of further assistance. My name is Brie." He says with a wink
Alright, here's the thing.
This so far has developed as about 5 different stories, which has been managable, but it's not really a D&D campaign. For a few of you - Onyx, Iron Hoof, and Dark star, I have at least one more scene before I would think the current storyline of the mini-character would be at a place where it could be concluded satisfactorily. And when the party could be united as one, it's less clear as to why the party as whole would be motivated to do one thing, when each character has their own motivations and a couple now have factions.
I don't think the plan I had for this originally will be interesting for a long period of time
>>68571I can do whatever it takes to get the party moving. Just give me a nudge and I'll play along.
>>68571I can continue to pretend to flirt with mares so I can end up walking them home and then robbing them blind at a later date until everyone comes together, I don't mind waiting.
>>68571The name's just IronI have an idea on how to join up with crystal man. After that, you should encourage all of us to join a single faction, whatever it will be, opting for the Black whatevers, and then, as fascists had religion, we go on missionary business somewhere and then we bond there or something. Just my opinion tho. How it happens is up to you, or even IF it happens.
But if we continue along the same line
>>68568"The Griffons owned the Western shore of Griffonia before they came 500 years ago, and many of the Griffons are Aborigines, and some are immigrants"
>>68569The next two ponies in line paid without any real fuss. Less fuss than legal debt collecting half the time, really. The one after that, the mare made the guy cry. It didn't seem like you'll be getting money out of that one. And the fifth one, well, that's where it gets interesting
The Zebra, whose name you learned is Black Cauldron, knocks on the door, in what is the second floor of an apartment complex.
"We hear to collect on your gambling debts"
"I ain't payin' no debts"
the Stallion looks out through the hole.
"Open that door and talk to us or we'll break it down."
The Stallion takes the lock off the door and opens it. He is somewhat inside the door, which is now fully open, but he has a break-action rifle in his hooves. He points it directly at Black, and the barrel is very slightly outside. It's a single shot rifle
"I told you, I ain't payin' no gambling losses"
>>68570She smiles and winks, but the guy next to her is irritated
[Read more] >>68576"Oh, please pardon me sir, I was captivated by the young mare here. Can I get you anything?"
>>68578"Oh please sir don't be bashful, its no trouble at all."
[1d20+4 = 20]
Iron put a menacing glare, placing himself in front of Cauldron. "Put that tool down right now, colt. Do not make me snatch it away from you if you want your heart inside you instead of outside being raven food. This is a gamble you do not want to make."
Here's hoping if I fail the intimidate I get to roll initiative
[1d20+8 = 24]>>68580The Stallion gets extra modifiers for holding a gun. Boosts confidence
>>68580>>68581You get to roll initiative
[1d20+1 = 5][1d20 = 7]>>68583Rolling for the Gambler and for Black. Black has the +1
>>68583>>68584Iron wins Initiative. The Gambler is second, followed by Black Cauldron
>>68576"Excuse me but i never got your name. id like to get in contact with you later. you're pretty cute to be honest."
>>68586She's kind of offended at the "pretty cute" comment. Her boyfriend, who has been standing next to her since Dark Star first approached them, is even more offended
[1d20+10 = 26]>>68584>>68585Ok, I'll improvise. Tell me if I'm missing anythingIron nonlethally attacks unarmed with improved unarmed strike.
>>68587"hey hows it going buddy?"
>>68588Improved unarmed strike is automatic, you don't have to declare it (though it was good to state it was a non-lethal attack)
>>68588That sure as shit hits. the question is if it's enough to knock him out before he shoots
>>68589"Hey" he glares
>>68579The bar tender signals to Brie, and should he chose to listen, is told this
"You charmed that mare a little bit, but you're never going to make her leave a guy with more money for a guy like you. She's the kind of Succubus that seeks out prey with the most money and the most power. It's her way of affirming her value, and of being better than the other mares. She can only offer her looks and herself as a target of your affection. But she'll take from you all of your affection, your attention your money, and a piece of your life force as she dumps her insecurities and her hatred of her life onto you. When the Changelings roll into this town at the end of next year, mares like her will find that they are out of a job."

*plucky doesn't know where she is headed because that would require a level of planning that she simply isn't capable of*
*a small guitar lays beside her in the hay*
>>68593>when*whispers back*
"I'm not trying to win her affection, I'm just trying to walk her home, if you catch my drift."
>>68594He moves back and away, and he pulls the mare away with him
>>68596"And that's exactly the thing. She will never let anypony walk home when another stallion can drive her in a Mustang Royal.
>>68595Hmmm, I'm not entirely sure what to do
>>68597figure out where the driver of the cart is going in order to best facilitate my character into the story, she'll hop out and start playing anywhere
*and then you hear some bitch playing a guitar*
>>68597"Well are
you gonna tell me where she lives then?"
>>68597"ah i see,my bad buckaroo.sorry."
*walks back to the bar*
[1d3+4 = 5]>>68591What's your modifiers on this? I think this dice roll is right? Anyways, rolling damage
>>68599"What exactly are you intending to do to my customers?"
>>68603I mean specifically the damage
>>68604It's a bare hoof if you're asking for weapons. Hold on, maybe the sheet says
>>68602"Nothing improper, I can assure you of that. Research, my good man."
>>68600Hmmm. So I take it he went to the socialist event to pick up mares, and went home before the speaker even arrived?
>>68606"I think her dad is on..... well... Damn. Let me think"
When you are about to give up, he responds "oh yes, she is on sixth and Harerington"
>>68608Then I guess he won't out anything about secret meetings, but alright
>>68609No idea where it says on the sheet, so I guess the dice is ok?
