>just a starting point to find party members and equipment
Will I have time to summon an animal companion and maybe get some class-friendly equiptment?

>>72577
Can Confirm Shotguns are very loud

>>72579
>>72579
I intend to avoid that all too common trope in video games where you casually kill literal hundreds of enemies. Take for example the excellent Uncharted series. Being sort of a video game adaptation of Indianada Jones, it’s great adventure and in a way was inspirational for this campaign. But the main character killing an entire army of 200 mercenaries in one game feels a little unrealistic. I want even the lowest level opponents, who have no business fighting, to give at least some sense of danger when they are in number or have guns.

In non-lethal instances, you will probably have fewer opponents and they will not be as well armed

>>72580
Yes, I don’t think I want to move out of the city yet

>>72582
You think Ash is Desmond Miles there?

>>72583
¯\\_(ツ)_/¯
Not exactly the archytype is was going for.

>>72583
It's fair. I'll try to cope with just unarmed for the time being. Do you think I can place more than +3 for unarmed? If so, it's not such a big problem.

>>72585
+3 Damage for power attack

>>72583
>Desmond Miles
Got that name completely wrong. Desmond Doss is the Desmond I was thinking of

>>72587
Well, maybe a little bit. Or at least as a religious ethic. It's part of her pratice to try to help ponies in need.

>>72588
And it was mostly just what I considered to be the most in-character thing to do at the time.

>>72590
>>72583
>>72587
Alright, I'll prod the thread like last time. Pretty sure we'll continue on a new thread anyways. Just hoping that the GM doesn't have to create a thread on the phone.

Well, I've got the rest of the night to dialogue if there's time.

>>72593
Well, since you offered, as a level 5 cleric and chose my domains to be healing and protection, am I in the 5th rank of both of these domains?

>>72593
What would you have had Ash say or do with the encounter with the griffin that occurred while you were not online?

>>72595
Well, if she were there she would have patched him up, I guess.
>>72594
Typically, your Deity has a list of domains granted to Clerics of that deity, as well as an alignment his/her/its worshipers can have. If your diety provides only one domain explicitly, you may be allowed to select a second one that fits with with that god's portfolio.
Both your domains and granted powers are equal to your character level. The number of bonus domain spells per day are listed under the class advancement table.

>>72596
Did you backread? I’m talking about that very long series of dialogue that spans 20+ posts and took 2 irl hours where Iron, Dark Star, and to a lesser extent Shimmer spoke extensively to a white griffin who had killed at least one crew member and was rummaging through a cabin looking for something

>>72594
>>72596
In addition, most Clerical orders (and insitutions for most divine casters) have a code of conduct that their followers must abide by. This may involve alignment restrictions, religious taboos, or purchasing ranks in particular skills. Things like that vary setting by setting.
>>72597
Let me check again one more time.

>>72597
Alright.
Ash is less than concerned with plundering or politics, but is looking increasingly anxious about the gunfire outside.
She makes her way towards a window to see what's going on in the first warf.

>>72599
"Ummmm, don't you all think we should be leaving? I don't really want to get caught in another fire exchange.." she says nervously

[1d20+5 = 9]
>>72599
Spot check to see how many guys are tailing us

>>72601
Newp

>>72600
I guess I could answer this while I'm leaving for the boat

"I do not know either. All I know is that the bat is in here and probably is looking for that mare advisor." Iron is walking down the stairs. "I am going to wait on the boat with Onyx. If you need me, I will be there." Iron continues his path towards the boat.

>>72599
Against the light of the burning buildings Ash can see a number of griffins and ponies standing and moving around all across the wharf, mostly with large guns and in fairly organized groups. It appears that fire hose are being deployed to try to put out the fire. Further, it looks like at least two ponies on the wharf have guns pointed at them. The burning truck has a couple ponies putting out the fire with an extinguisher, while another truck comes up next to it as if to wench and move it. A fire truck has come into position near the warehouse, and a pair of griffins can be seen moving along the top of the rolling mill

>>72603
"The mare advisor is dead. I saw her go down with my own eyes.
It turns out she was a changeling. Mr. Dark Star still has her head in his pocket."

>>72605
"Oh. Then I have no idea why we are still here. I feel someone is being greedy."
>>72604
Can I even go outside to the boat without starting a firefight?

>tfw you find inspiration for (what you would hope to be) an excellent character after you've already created one
I guess I thought of a backup if Silver ends up ded.

>>72607
Great minds think alike, am I right? Also have two backups if things go awry and my char dies. One for the super sneaks and the other for healing everyone.

>>72607
>>72608
Pic very much related.

>>72609
I really hope you're wrong. I basically fried my brain to create a basic cleric that I don't even think is that great anyways.

>>72610
I've made like a dozen characters that I'll probably never get to play.

>>72611
I even made a lvl 45 Orc, just so I could get a full understanding of epic progression and qualifications for Divine Ascension.

>>72609
>>72611
>>72612
Even if I don't end up using her, it's good for stirring up the ol' OC creation juices.

>>72612
Well that is a bit more understandable.
>>72613
True enough.

You guys could always try keeping your characters alive,....

>>72615
This.
I'd be really bummed if any of the characters vi'm playing died.

>>72615
It's not like I'm going to TRY to get Silver killed (though with how little I know about the game's mechanics, it's highly likely). It's just that I've got a potential backup now, for if he does end up croaking.

>>72615
>>72616
I don't plan to suicide my character just because I have better ideas about characters. I'll accept the role. That's why it's an RPG and all.

>>72617
You have really good stats. Don't let him die.

>>72617
>>72618
Here's the thing. Unless your character is psychologically reckless, you have to assume they have a self-preservative streak. To them 'its not a game, its real life'. Do with that perspective what you will.

>>72606
"I don't know either, but we'd better leave soon if we're ever going to get out..."

>>72620
Iron cocks his head. "How many ponies are outside? Have they reached the boat?"

>>72617
What is your backup?

>>72606
Between the darkness, the fire, the dead bodies, and their cautious approach approach to close quarters clearance, the troops will not be handling the Ship until they have completed essential tasks on the wharf, like taking prisoners or clearing the area for fire crews. They are saving the ship for last, with the intent to simply rake the ship with machine gun fire from a truck should anyone try to snipe at them

>>72622
"There's quite a few.. They're preoccupied, but they'll reach us soon. They're angry."

>>72624
"... We should leave.. NOW."

>>72619
I can't guarantee he won't. Like I've said repeatedly, I'm a noob. Shit will occasionally happen that, while you might normally have complete control of, I won't because I won't know what to do.
>>72620
I know, it's not the first RPG I've played, and I know how to role play. I'm just saying, because I don't know the mechanics of THIS game, there is always that chance that my lack of knowledge will lead to me making a poor decision that could end up killing Silver.
>>72624
A changeling rogue. An infiltrator from an exiled hive that didn't agree with Chrysalis's plans or ideals, and was forced further and further back as she made her advance.

>>72624
>>72625
>>72626
Iron furrows his brow. "We must warn Dark Star of this. Onyx is already at the boat. Don't know about the unicorn." He retraces his steps back towards the room. "As long as nobody shoots, they will not shoot back... At least I hope so."

>>72627
I kinda feel that type of character will be vilified by most of the cast, as well as the organization we are currently helping. If you have decent charisma, I say you can go for it, since you'll probably spend points on charisma and dex skills mostly.

So last I actively posted, Brie was staring down an angry (cuz he just got stuck with a dagger) Griffon that apparently speaks a foreign language

>>72629
That was my intention. Plus, as a changeling, she could just remain disguised for as long as she needs to when in the party. Keep her identity a secret.

>>72630
Yes indeed. Brie’s next action?

>>72632
That depends, aside from getting mad, is the griffon doing anything?

>>72631
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world she never existed

>>72633
He is in a bed partly under covers. One claw is not visible to Brie and one claw is up in a “don’t shoot” kind of gesture.

>>72632
Sister Ash goes to get Dark Star and Shimmer

>>72634
Brie bows to him in an apologetic gesture, and then backs out of the room (not taking his eyes off him). With all the gunshots, he decides to backtrack and retrieve his throwing knives.

>>72632
Iron follows Ash. "Say, can you use any magic to swim out of here if the boat is unreachable from here?"

>>72637
She turns to him
"...Yes.. I can."

>>72636
The griffin does not pull out a gun from under the covers with the claw Brie never bothered to check. Brie comes upon a scene about like this. >>72604

>>72604
Just a question. Do Griffin's and ponies just mix freely in this Society? They seem to work together a lot more than I expected.

>>72639
"Can it last long? We may need to carry our companions out of here through common swimming if they surround the dock." Iron checks how far the drop is from here.

>>72642
".. To carry several ponies would not be practical.. I did not prepare to have to swim for my life.."

>>72644
"It is just a precaution." Iron checks if the way to the boat is safe from here without anypony noticing.

>>72640
"Fug."
Brie retrieves one of his daggers from near the griffon corpse, and then bee-lines for the one that's got 2 sticking out of his eyes.

>>72641
The Occupying government of Baltimore is not very popular among the Equestrian ponies, and so a substantial portion of the garrison need is supplied by troops brought in overseas. New Mareland has a substantial griffin minority, both from the aboriginal population and immigrants. These griffins are not exempted from the draft, and are forcibly recruited. These griffins are generally considered unmotivated and unreliable, and so are placed in garrison duty in location where they have no loyalty to the natives, instead of being sent to the frontlines against the Griffin nations of Griffonia. Some reservists are also recruited from conquered territories

>>72647
It is so

>>72646
It’s very dark. They don’t seem to be looking in Iron’s direction

>>72646
>>72648
>The Occupying government of Baltimore is not very popular among the Equestrian ponies, and so a substantial portion of the garrison need is supplied by troops brought in overseas.
Fug. This really irks me. Equestrian pride ftw.

>>72646
Sister Ash follows him, having found no trace of Dark Star or Shimmer.

>>72648
>>72650
Iron turns to Ash. "The way is clear. I will try to move the boat around the ship and everyone can jump from the ship to the water and get on, or maybe just get on without the jump if possible. You can come with me, see if you can spot areas where we can board the boat without much effort. I really cannot see very well outside." Iron starts the journey up to the boat, where Onyx is.

>>72651
Sister Ash nods in response

>>72648
Technically speaking, there 3 daggers in/around that one griffon. After retrieving, Brie assesses the progress of whatever group is on the docks.

>>72649
Irked that the Black Hooves are not more popular, or that they have the audacity to be somewhere they are wanted?

>>72651
>>72652
The journey to the boat is uneventful. When they get to the boat... well hello. Who is that familiar face sitting on the top of the closed cabin?

>>72654
Iron looks closer to the familiar face. Is it the griffon? He gets on the boat while trying to recognize it.

>>72654
What familiar face?
Fug. I thought it was Glimmer for a moment and my heart skipped a beat.

>>72648
>The Occupying government of Baltimore is not very popular among the Equestrian ponies, and so a substantial portion of the garrison need is supplied by troops brought in overseas.
Understandable. I imagine many Equestrians, even if their government was the one to strike first, feel like New Mareland stabbed them in the back by invading Equestria at the same time as the Changelings. Combined with the hostility of the Black Hooves towards Restorationist sentiments, they likely seem more like foreign invaders than benevolent peacekeepers in the eyes of the average citizen.
>tfw it helps me to understand a little how Poles must have felt during WWII when Germany invaded

>>72656
I thought that too tbh

>>72653
>>72653
They seem preoccupied by the fire, and by the live captors they find on the wharf. He sure as shit doesn’t have another 30 minutes, but another few minutes, certainly. These governate forces are pretty cowardly, and won’t go into an enclosed space like a ship until they have enough free soldiers to do so safely

>>72655
It’s none other than Blue Skies, smiling

>>72657
This, tbh.
And when a government starts using foreigners to fill in shortages that should be supplied by its own citizens, you know times are bad.

>>72659
Brie takes flight looking to land on a tall building (that's not on fire) and observe the troops from a hidden position, hoping that their perimeter passes him by and he can approach them (at least one of them) from behind.

>>72659
Iron feels slightly uncomfortable. He wonders if it is a bad smile or a good one. He cautiously gets on the boat and starts fiddling the rope it held it in place.

>>72659
I probably need to wait for the others, but can I look in the other rooms while I wait?

>>72663
I think you will probably flee for your life when you notice what's outside the ship.

>>72663
A whole bunch of guys are very pissed off and are about to kill us. It's time to go.

>>72664
Yeah, but my character doesn't know about that yet. Here's hoping it won't be too late before he can figure it out.
>>72665
I think you said you were near or on the ship. You would have to tell my character about that if your character knows.

>>72666
She was looking for him earlier, but then she gave up.

>>72667
Good to hear? Looks like I'm going to find out the hard way.

>>72661
He’s given up on the gold, I take it? Brie sees that the fires, particularly the gasoline fire, have created s sort of circular “no go zone” where the sky is illuminated and he would lose all stealth. Further to the north, he can see that groups of griffins - who can fly too - have taken position on at least the roof of the rolling mill

>>72663
Finally, someone interested in exploring. Yes, there are several places he can go

>>72662
She stares at him with that smile as he does so

>>72670
I guess start with that open door and the end of the hall I didn't get to check before.

I don't have the energy to stay up all night tonight guys...

>>72670
>given up on the gold
Riiiiiiiiight. So there's Griffons, there's this armed force thats slowly making its way through the docks, and there's Brie. What's a batpony to do?
Is it possible to make for the ground level, in advance of the troops?

>>72671
This leads to the bridge of the ship. The room has great big windows that allow a view outwards. A Griffin is on the floor next to a central control, dead, having evidently been shot in the back of the head.

>>72673
Before they went to the shore, they closed off the land routes out of it. He could fly around them, certainly, if he flew far enough, but they extend along the shore line for further than just the immediate area that has preoccupied the party thus far

>>72670
"Are you going to shoot at me or something? This is slightly uncomfortable..." Iron tries to turn on the boat like last time.

>>72672
I'd say get on the boat. It's basically a "go with the flow" position where others can take you anywhere.

"They just had to blow shit up didn't they?" Brie laments, before taking flight, headed *away* from shore, intent on gaining altitude, to attempt to fly high enough to circle back around at the rear of the advancing forces.

>>72674
Is there anything of note in the room? I look around to if anything was left behind, like instructions for the crew or something.

>>72675
"Are you going to leave without your friends? Dark Star can't pay you 200 bits if you leave him here"

>>72677
Further away from the shore are more police - regular baltimare police, not MPs - and the city of Baltimare. This is on the edge of a mixed industrial and commercial area

>>72678
In this room, no. If there was, it has been snatched

>>72679
Darn it. On to the other door then, to the right when I entered the hall first I believe. I open that door and look inside.

>>72679
So let me see if I have this right. Toward the shore is the encroaching troops, and away from the shore there's more troops?

>>72680
This room must have been a navigation room. There is a big table in the center with a map, and a couple desks by the left wall and the far wall

>>72682
I check the desks.

>>72679
"I was about to go to the other side of the ship so we can board the boat without any fear of these ponies at the docks cutting off this means of escape." Iron keeps trying to turn on the boat. "Why did you come back?"

>>72683
On the desks are papers that don't seem to have any immediate relevance. You get the impression that the papers on these desks have been moved quickly.

>>72684
"What makes you think I left? Anyways, Dark Star needs someone to escort him to the hospital"

>>72685
"Was she in here too? She must have cleared out all the important stuff." I take a look at the map.

>>72686
"He is inside the ship. I suppose you do not control those ponies at the docks, do you?" Iron keeps trying to turn the boat on.

>>72687
The map shows a few meanderly routes from Griffonia to Baltimare, presumably past naval blockades. From this position a few papers can be seen on the floor

>>72688
"Who do you think called them in?"

>>72689
I fold up the map and take it, then inspect these papers on the floor.

>>72690
Well, it's a big as hell map. Like, the full table. He'd have to set his drink down. Fortunately, there is a chest on the far wall for that purpose. Anyways, he picks up the papers. They look like portions of a manifest or contract. Judging by the pagination, they must have been part of a larger stack that fell out

>>72689
Iron stops his attempts on the boat and returns to the dock. "Well, if you say what you are implying is true, I suppose I can live for a few more seconds. Unless you made them target me." Iron decides to start going to the ship. "Follow me, I can guide you to him."

>>72692
She seems to comply, silently following

>>72691
I grumble as I set my drink down no the chest. "You better not spill Tipsy, you hear me boat?" I fold the map up the best I can and then glance at the papers to see if there is anything that would stand out to a pony of average intelligence.

So Brie flies off toward the sea, since that's the only apparent avenue of escape, intent on gaining distance and altitude, from which he might be able to circle around behind the encroaching troops. We're talking minutes of ascent, and much is likely to occur in that time, from which he should have a decent vantage of.

>>72693
"By the way, we spotted a griffon that did not align with the interests of the communists. Said she was from Sunset," He says while going up the stairs to the top floor. "Sadly, she was not very talkative about her group and left. Any information on them?"

>>72694
Mostly it is numbers. But it does have the names of some manufacturers and purchasers

>>72695
The air is colder as he ascends, certainly darker. There are clouds further to the North, city lights to the west, and darkness with scattered lights to the east

>>72696
"Sunset? That's the capital of New Mareland. She told you she was working for the Blackhooves"

>>72697
"Not that I remember. She told me, somewhat jokingly, that she was part of a large band of thieves." Iron is nearing Dark Star's position. He seems somewhat troubled.

>>72697
I shrug and take them. Maybe studying them later will prove useful. I quick check the chest after reclaiming my drink, knowing full well that the griffon got to anything inside first.

>>72697
Still ascending, now in a circling pattern

>>72700
Where does he intend to land there after?

>>72699
Are you sure she got there first? The chest seems locked

>>72698
"Plenty of thieves around here to go around"

>>72701
Eventually, once he's reached sufficient elevation, he's going to circle back around and then descend to try and approach the troops from behind. I mentioned that, I'm sure.

>>72701
"And I don't suppose they left the key around here somewhere..." I double check around the room.
I also assume that I don't have any way inside it besides trying to break it?

>>72701
He stops outside the room. "She was cryptic. She could be a changeling for all I know. Something about I should not haven seen her face and jumped off the railing of the room Dark Star is in right now." He opens the door for Skies and notices Spark is gone. "You can stay with Dark Star. I think he's pondering about recent events. I will go look for the unicorn fellow." He starts to walk off, looking for Spark.

>>72704
*he is

>>72703
No key, but there is a rifle leaning against a wall

>>72704
"Changelings can be anypony, anywhere, anytime. At least that's what we tell the ponies anyways, in the hopes that they'll be less willing to conspire against the government if they think they may be helping foreign spies. But obviously, if she was intending to operate secretly, it's a bad thing for people to see her in her work"

>>72706
Would the discharge alert the police outside, or have they not come within range for that yet?

>>72707
It seems the rifle is unloaded, if he was intending to shoot it

>>72708
Of course it is... and it is a griffon design anyway correct?

>>72706
"I guess. We tried to trade information for safety, but, as I said, she jumped out the window. I suppose that is important." Iron is looking around the adjacent rooms to where Dark Star is. "Why are you cordial to me after all I said at the warehouse?."

>>72709
Indeed it is. Not really useful as muck more than a long blunt object

>>72710
"Oh, so you do recognize your statements as of the sort that would induce to resentment?"

[1d20-1 = -2]
>>72711
"Might as well give it a swing." I, probably foolishly, take the rifle and bring it down onto the chest as hard as a level 5 unicorn sorcerer can.

>>72712
It looks like this attempt was not very successful

>>72710
On the top floor of the superstructure are the three doors

>>72711
Iron looks to the roof, somewhat uncomfortable. "It was not nice of me to talk to a mare like that. The loss of your tribe is truly the most horrible thing a pony can go through. I suspect I would be just like you if it happened to me." Iron walks a bit to the left. "While I disliked that you seek to spread the bleakness of the world to Ash instead of reassuring there will be someone to protect her, I did go out of line by my accusations of lack of motherhood." Iron walks to the right. "I can see that you are broken, scarred beyond belief by the loss of your family and friends. There is no honor in speaking ill of the disadvantaged." Iron closes the distance between him and Skies. "I ask of you to punch me for my outrageous behavior. To bury the hatchet."

>>72713
Am I allowed more attempts?

>>72715
At first, she too is uncomfortable, avoiding eye contact. Finally, she raises her head and smiles. It's a warmer smile than the almost malicious grin she had earlier. "Maybe you are fit to be husband or father after all. I'll punch you later. When you are not looking"

>>72715
Sure

[1d20-1 = -2]
>>72716
The sorcerer is disappointed in his strength. Perhaps he should work out more... He tries again.

>>72717
Apparently, this is as hard as I can do it.

>>72716
Iron lets out a small breath, obviously relieved. "I will be ready for it."
>>72713
Iron decides to check out the room in front of Dark Star's room.

>>72717
The Dice Gods have not smiled upon Spark. The rifle bounces and hits the floor

>>72719
A Door to your left, right, and your front. From the right is heard a bouncing sound

>>72720
I hang my head in shame.

>>72720
Iron goes towards the bouncing sound.

>>72721
>>72722
Skies prances off to the left. When Iron opens the door, he can see that it is a room with desks on the left and far walls, with a large table in the center. More importantly, Spark is holding a rifle and hanging his head in shame near a chest on the far side of the room

>>72702
If he wants to reach a police roadblock, he could do that

>>72723
>>72721
"What are you doing? You dropped the bottle and broke it or something?"

>>72725
"Never that. I can't get into this chest. I suppose you might though. Want to give it a shot?"

[1d20+5 = 24]
>>72726
"I guess I can try to break it." Iron walks towards the chest, turns around, aims for the chest and releases a buck on the chest.

>>72727
And with that, the lock seems to break, and it pops right the hell open

>>72712
>>72717
>>72721
>>72726
>>72727
Woke up just to kek at this.
Okay, now I sleep again.

>>72728
>>72726
"Well, there it is. Give me some of the loot it has. I would appreciate a reward for my efforts."

>>72730
"Feel free to take whatever. I'm not in this for the money." I look inside it.

>>72731
>>72730
And indeed, it looks like this is the fabled treasure chest. There seem to be two rows of 5 golden bricks. The bricks look a little dull, but still of shiny precious metal, and are stamped as from the Winding River Mine of the East forbidden Jungles

>>72732
Spark is more than a little confused as to why they stashed this in the navigation room, but hands the bars to the eager Iron.

>>72732
Iron nods in approval and takes 3 of the bricks. "I will be taking some of that."

>>72733
Iron is somewhat confused. "You can take at least one of them. You are making me feel bad."

>>72735
"I don't have use for these things. I might have a use for a few bits, but we will worry about that some other time. I think that is all the rooms on this floor. Do we have time to explore the one below us?"

>>72736
"It seems the giant force outside will not shoot at us, so I believe that we can." He is busy trying to fit all the bricks on his person. "I can follow you if you need my strength."

>>72737
"I'm sure I will. Who knows if there are any other foes on this damn boat." I head out of the room and look into the room on the left. "Dark Star? You coming?" mainly using this as an excuse to see if Blue Skies is in there still and will come along, but hopefully Dark will wake up

>>72738
Iron nods. He decides to use the chest as an impromtu gold carrier, placing all gold bricks in the chest and carrying it on his back. He then follows Spark.

>>72738
He sees Blue Skies in this room. Blue Skies is tearing up the room. She has flipped the bed over

>>72740
"Umm... is everything ok?"

>>72741
"Yes. Can I borrow a knife?"

>>72742
I give her the dagger I borrowed from her.

>>72743
She takes it, and promptly starts disemboweling the mattress

>>72744
I watch, with a tiny bit of nervousness. "Looking for something?"

>>72744
"What are you looking for?" Iron asks as he enters the room.

>>72746
>>72745
"An important document"
She pauses a moment.
"I don't think it is on this level"

>>72747
"Then let's hurry and search around. Want to try the next floor down?"

>>72747
"Now that you mention it. I think that griffon took some documents with her. I could not skim the contents though. Bird was a fast one." Iron ponders. "Anything special about the document? Any signs or emblems to recognize it?"

>>72749
She looks up at him, with a look of concern. "It may be gone now."

>>72748
"Sure, let's go down one level"

>>72750
"Alright. You lead, unicorn." Iron stands behind Spark.

>>72750
I lead the group downstairs to the next level down and look around.

>>72752
>>72751
Down one level is another hallway. Six doors in total, one on each side

>>72753
That's a lot of doors. Any votes on which to do first?

>>72754
"I suggest we go to the last door on this walkway. I hold this position if any sneaky survivors attempts to pass through and escape." He unequips his spiked gauntlets.

>>72755
"And what if the sneaky survivors are inside of the room?"

>>72755
Wait. What is meant by "This walkway"?

>>72756
"Well, if you need my protection I can follow you. I supposed you could handle some cowards that hide from danger."

>>72758
"Sounds like you are the one scared to me." I go open the furthest door.

>>72757
*corridor, if you want.

>>72759
"Oh, alright. I will follow." Iron follows behind Spark

>>72758
>>72759
>>72761
Door furthest, on the left, is.......

The room is empty. It is a nicer cabin with a bed and some dressers, and smells like cigars

>>72762
I turn to Blue Skies. "Want to disassemble this room while we check the others?"

>>72762
"Seems like it is Redclaw's room." Iron search the room.

>>72764
She laughs. "You're catching on. I'm getting the impression that not all of the items the advisors came with left the ship. That is, seeing as even basic clothing and the like were not found in the rolling mill or on the motor boat. I'm guessing they intended to get it later"

>>72763
"You certainly could, yes"

>>72765
I go to the door opposite this one on the right and open it.

>>72765
Iron starts to leave the room "If you find something of personal value of him, would you give it to me?"
>>72766
Iron follows Spark

>>72764
This room does not actually look entirely well kept. The bed is unmade, and it looks as if a cushion beneath the mattress has been removed

>>72767
"You want a trophy, or a memento?"

>>72766
It too, is empty, with a similar design. The bed is made, has been moved to the precise center, and the dressers appear to have been aligned to make the room symmetrical. On the other wall, a mirror sits in the precise center, with two lamps that are each equidistant from the wall.

A lone chair has been pushed up against the side of the wall to allow for more space

>>72768
>trophy or memento
"Memento."

>>72768
"I have to admit. This one is nice. We will comb them over once we secure them all though." On to the next one, to the right next to this one we just checked.

>>72770
Iron of course follows.

[1d2 = 1]
>>72769
"A shame he had to go down to unseen and non-uniformed attackers in an ambush. Then again, I'm sure he had seen very many of his friends killed in ambushes, and expected he would die the same way. To those GLA types, the Griffonion commoners possess a unrivaled strength. No enemy dare oppose the griffon worker directly, they only ever try to subvert it, surprise it, or mislead it. No, it's not an individual strength, but a collective one. A whole tribe. I think he felt vindicated, in a weird way, in his final moments. No creature dare oppose the Griffin worker on an even battlefield"

[1d20+1 = 12]
>>72770
>>72771
Roll for initiative

[1d20 = 16]
>>72773
Rolling

>>72775
Before I attack, can I put more than +3 on damage through power attack when fully unarmed?

>>72774
>>72775
Behind this door was a griffon with knife in claw, waiting for his foe. But it looks like Iron and Shimmer have the upper hoof

Iron, then Shimmer, then the griffon

>>72776
You can

>>72774
Shimmer has a "club" if you don't trust magic or guns

[1d20+7 = 25]
Iron charges at the offending griffon with his hooves, placing +5 hit chance to damage.

[1d3+10 = 12]
>>72779
Well, that certainly hits. I'm unsure how he could have an attack modifier of +7 if he has 5 on power attack though
