The peasants on the road notice the centaur-things and are keeping their distance, but they're fixated on the quarantine area. The first to the entry way calls to the others.
"AFFIRMATIVE MAGIC SIGNAL DETECTED, BEGIN THOROUGH INVESTIGATION OF SURROUNDING AREA"
Most of them head toward the quarantine gate, while a few begin to walk around the building.

RESIDUE OF CONTRABAND DETECTED WITHIN.
He makes contact with the guard at the gate and completely botches his diplomacy check, and gets the door slammed in his face.

Also, Trump's explanation makes much more sense, though I'd allow the casino regardless.

>>8273
>>8274
You mean the quarantine area in Port Barry?

>>8276
Yep. Spoiler, they're looking for Thez, as well as that green stone she used last night.

>>8277
The centaur-things.
*follow furtively, but closely in stealth, knife out, keeping a careful eye on their balls.

>>8278
They have no balls. As you approach they don't appear organic at all, but more of a mechanical construct.
As you begin to near, they all sprout wings and lift into the air.

>>8268
Trumpaladin does early morning practice on what will be the field of Mile High Stadium. On that field are the players he has selected for his New Jersey Port Barry Generals, who shall play for his United States Football League - the Universal Church of Football. Terry, now the head of the Davissian Mendicant Order, watches as well. Trumpaladin gives them all pointers on how to play, what they do right and wrong, and occasionally joins in himself to show them how it's done.

All the while, Trump wonders to himself if Fae will ever overcome the negative impression of him left by last night
\r

>>8279
Oh, that's no fun...
Make my way back to wherever the part is, at full speed.
>>8280
Never. She'll never respect you the same way Tracy does.

>>8280
Kek. From your position, you can see the centaurs as they take to the air, the sunlight glinting off their armor. I'm not sure how far you are at the moment, but its in the distance.

They fly in rigid formation, angling over the walls of the quarantine area. From her position, Tracy can hear the guards go on alert.

Finally
The last thread was bad enough I couldn't fucking post.
1: have we ever determined what metal I got?
2: do I hear these centaurs?

>>8283
"Well Shit," Trump says as he lets another player he had tackled down on the ground. "Everyone, look over there." Trump runs forward, and yells out to those present who are members of the militia "Ready air defenses. If necessary" as he runs towards a tower

>>8285
Cold Iron, and that depends on where you are, I'm not sure

>>8284
Just push through (what is my speed, 50 ft?), in stealth towards where the party is.
Also, when will I be able to change size? Do I need to train towards that?

Also, can Trumpaladin do an alignment test on the flying centaur robots?

>>8287
I'm where ever I got the metal still

>>8288
Don't worry, it'll happen soon. I'm figuring she has to be agitated to first discover it.
The commotion inside the quarantine increases, until 7 distinct "HOLD" commands can be heard, and the sounds from within diminish. The gate to the quarantine is locked, and the guard posted there is currently unable to move.

>>8291
No, you would have had to be outside to see it.

>>8293
Ah
Torcuil hears a commotion outside, so goes to check it out

>>8290
You will be able to, yes. The creatures are inside, scouring the quarantine area for clues and information.

>>8292
Employ Open Lock skill: Pick lock with knife and push through.

im guessing i dont know whats going on?

Okay, Tracy is at the door, Trump is not far behind, and Torcuil is in Port Barry. Some of the peasants are distracted, whispering "Did you see that?" to one another.

>>8295
With a sigh, then a pause, Trumpaladin fills his lungs with air, then cries out to the sky, "FAE, PORT BARRY NEEDS YOU - Needs us"

[1d20 = 12]
>>8297
Correct. Don't worry, they'll be along shortly.

>>8298
>Trump is not far behind
Fug. Turn around and go where he is.
"We have visitors!"

>>8296
Success, you are able to pick the lock.
>>8299
From along the city wall, you hear a loud roar, and you can see Fae lift off in your direction.
>>8302
Oh snap, I misjudged the distance. Okay, you're still not there then, and sorry Tracy, but that didn't happen.

>>8303
keep going

>>8303
Trump's helpers at the field have already helped him into his armor, and he awaits Fae's arrival, with Vanderiem now on him

>>8304
in stealth, on all fours (max speed)

Its a moot point anyway, as Fae lands unceremoniously in front of Trump.
"How may I be of assistance, good horsefucker?" her eye twitches as she says it.

>>8306
Inside the quarantine?

>>8308
Towards wherever the party is (I have the Scent ability: I can smell him)

>>8307
"There..." Trumps stumbles in his words and is about to say something in correction, but stops himself, and then collects himself.
"Over there, in the sky. Can you see it? Winged Centaurs I think. I don't know if they are hostile or friendly, but we should go meet them." Trump gets on Fae's back, and unable to fully resist the temptation to argue, whispers "it was only to stop her from turning over to Soros. There was no other way"

>>8309
Ah good. I'm not sure where he is precisely, but he's simple enough to detect. And she's off!

>>8310
And Trump flies towards the centaurs, Fae permitting

>>8311
So have I noticed this shit?
(Also I'll be back)

>>8312
"Of course."
Trump takes off, and sees Tracy running in his direction, looking much more like a normal warpony, but still obvious considering her armor and such.

>>8313
You know something is up, the locals are all talking about it now. Some sort of flying man-horses.

>>8314
"Uh... Is there anywhere else, literally anywhere else, we can land that is near the centaurs"

>>8316
Don't worry, they're coming to you in a manner of speaking. Or rather, they can be seen flying out the top of the quarantine and heading toward Trump tower.
They know exactly where Thez is at now, and are making a bee-line.

>>8314
>His butt-cheeks are pressed into someone else's back
[reees internally]
How retarded would it me to entangle her tail with my whip and enact the Use Rope skill to get myself u there?

>>8317
We then make a bee-line for them. When near enough, Trump will yell out "excuse me, are you here for something?"

[1d20 = 4]
>>8318
You have a whip now? I know you mentioned wanting one but,... okay you have a whip now.

>>8320
I made a whip weeks ago.

>>8319
As you approach, one of them turns to you.
STAY BACK, THIS DOES NOT CONCERN YOU.

>>8320
>fail
[internal reeeing intensifies]
>Momentarily wishes she weren't a mudpony

>>8321
Oh,... right,... I was just testing you. ._.

>>8322
"Who does it concern?" Trump yells back

>>8323
Thats good, cuz Nightmares can fly, and I would imagine that in her frustration, she might just do some sort of leap or something and realize she's not affected by gravity anymore.

>>8324
*rapidly scampers over to the point of action any way she can*
>>8326
DO IT, FGT!!

>>8325
THIS IS AN INTERNAL MATTER FOR THE REALM OF MECHANUS. DO NOT INTERFERE.

>>8328
"Why are you here in Port Barry? Why are you going towards my luxury apartment tower?"

>>8327
As Tracy scampers back and forth, she stomps the ground in frustration, flames erupting again along her hooves, her mane/tail, and smoke starts to seep from her eyes.

>>8328
Are these Golem Knights? They count as Cuacemar Nightmares of the Construct variety, in this form, don't they?
If not, are they Zelekhuts?

>>8329
WE HAVE TRACKED A LAW VIOLATOR TO THIS AREA. YOUR PROPERTY WILL REMAIN UNDAMAGED. DO NOT INTERFERE.
And with that they proceed to surround the tower.
"Fug" says Thez, finally seeing whats happening.

>>8330
>Eyes on fire
"REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!"

>>8331
>zelekhuts
Correct

>>8334
>fug!
I'm going to want their chains.

>>8332
"A law violator?" Trump is now intrigued. "Do you need the assistance of a local?"

>>8333
[reeeeeing intensifies]
*take off at full speed towards area of acrion, hooves flailing* (fug stealth!)

[3d20 = 23]
>>8333
Tracy, in a moment of intuition leaps in the air and finds (as said) that she is not bound by gravity anymore. She doesn't have wings, but she can sorta fly-gallop.
>>8335
The whole damn things are awesome resources desu, that's where the last pile of rare metals came from.
>>8336
WE DO NOT REQUIRE ASSISTANCE. DO NOT INTERFERE.

>>8338
infernuis is hearing stuff outside?

3 of the Zs cast dimensional anchor in a manner that envelops the tower.
"Infernius, you might wanna see this," Thez calls out.

>>8338
"Okay then" Trump says softly, mostly to himself. He watches now, keeping distance, ready to alternatively charge in or leave

>>8340
what is it thez?

>>8338
>doesn't consider why she isn't falling
>still reeeeing
*tears like heck towards crystal*
>flying speed, 90 ft
Can that put me between me and the crystal?

When Torcuil gets back, he can fast-forward to where he would "be" amidst all this.

>>8343
tham and the crystal*

>>8345
them*
Fug!
I'm going to have to go soon...!

>>8344
Where would he be? Tourcil's character is even more indifferent than Trump's

Also, Fae should do a scan on these mechanicus soldiers

>>8344
Thatr Magneto staff could come in handy
>tfw RPing on borrowed time

>>8347
"They are Lawful Neutral. They will not hesitate to defend themselves, and may even attack if we approach."

>>8349
"Sounds like we should stay back. Do you know who they are and what they want?"

>>8343
>knife in maw
>scrambling on all fours
>angry as fuck
*literally fuming*

>>8348
You can fly toward them, but they've got the entrance surrounded.
One of them calls out to within the tower.
LAW VIOLATOR. YOUR PRESENCE IS KNOWN TO US. PRESENT YOURSELF OR WE WILL TAKE YOU BY FORCE.

>>8342
i go to where thez is.

>>8350
"They are a particular construct that is tasked with maintaining law and order on the Clockwork plane. They would not be here without cause."

>>8354
Worried now. "Any idea what that cause may be? Can we ally with them? Also, 'Clockwork Plane?'"

>>8353
As you exit the mess area, you see Thez on the staircase, and the Z's arrayed outside the two entrance to the tower. "Whoopsie," she unconvincingly states.

>>8355
"It seems that someone inside the tower has warranted their pursuit. They do not venture outside their plane for anything minor. The plane is populated entirely by mechanical constructs and the few organic life forms that create them."

>>8356
WHAT FUCK! who they!?

[2d20 = 24]
>>8352
How many?
>Beside herself with rage
>is charging without paying heed to anything
*push through between them*
Thermal-cut anything that get's in my way, if it does (does this count as a ride-by attack?)
Oh shit, I g2g for a bit

>>8359
*sights deeply, then briefly covers his eyes with his hands*
Trumpaladin flies over to catch Tracy. You know, before she starts a war

As Trump dialogues with Fae, Tracy comes flying up from the rear.

>>8358
"Uhm,... old friends?" she's being obviously coy.

Alright, I have an errand to run myself. Back in a few.

~10 min

>>8362
they want to hurt thez?

>>8361
Not Dialoguing anymore. Trump yells out loudly to Tracy "CEASE." He wonders if he succeeded in forming a connection last night, and if so, how it may be used. He thinks about asking Fae how that would be exploited, since she might know, but decides that that is definitely not a good idea

>>8360
Is that even possible? I'm more than twice your speed.
>>8364
>tfw by the end of that 10 min, I'll have to leave for about an hour...

>>8367
I'm closer to them than you. Also maybe mind connection, maybe

I can wait, I thought you were leaving this instant

[7d20 = 76]
>>8365
"Its certainly not a social call," she says proceeding to the door.
"Yeah what? I guess you guys are here for this right?" she says, retrieving the green stone.
TARGET SIGHTED. ENGAGE

All 7 cast hold monster, which fail because Thez has magic resistance.

>>8372
Well, Trump's last action to call out to Tracy telling her not to attack

..H-how does she stop in mid air..?

First move goes to Torcuil, who I assume is using his transmutation rod to levitate

>>8375
Like wiley coyote

>>8370
runs to where thez is and cast burn on the faggots that are shooting at us for no reason.

[1d20 = 12]
>>8378
Burn? Can you be more specific?

>>8379
the enchantment on my sword. remember lennos did it.

>>8379
Also, how did you know you're next? You ARE next though

Trump's next move depends on whether Tracy attacks the law-bringers or not

>>8380
Oh right, the sword ignites. Unfortunately, they're flying and you can't close the distance.
All 7 of the Z's sprout golden spiked chains that start whirling around them.

*is reeing*
What happened in those last couple turns?

Ah shit, now I REALLY g2g...!

>>8385
You said an hour ish yes?

>>8386
Uh... GM, where was Tracy's last position, especially relative to the law-bringers and Trump

>>8387
Well, she said she wanted to know how to stop, so I'm assuming she did. It was her turn anyway. Her momentum carried her past you, but she's stopped.

>>8387
Its your move now. While you decide I'm gonna run my errand (it won't take 10, that was a worst-case)

>>8389
Well, if Tracy stopped before attacking the law bringers, Trump yells out "Get back! They are here to maintain law, not to attack us. But if you attack them, they may attack us and Port Barry. Back away from them!"

Also, if I have free moves, I want to ask Fae
1. Does she know why they may be here?
2. Is there any way to engage them diplomatically?
3. What is the clockwork plane?

>>8391
Fae says "Well, that's not quite true. They won't harm non-combatants, so the citizens will be safe. Also, it seems they're after that one, and we will be unable to reason with them," she says pointing to Thez, who is visible at the entrance

>>8392
Trumpaladin can only express "huh" to the thought that Thez might be their target.
"If the Blue One attacks, will they attack us?"

>>8393
"Unlikely, as long as we don't expressly provoke them or interfere."

"What's the matter? Are you lot just gonna stand there flapping your wings?" Thez goads the Z's.

>>8394
"Oh" Trump says to Fae. Trump yells out, not just to the Blue One, but to literally everyone "carry on!" as he continues to watch the scene.

It's much like when the police come and finally arrest that creepy guy who lives down the road. You don't really know why he's being arrested, but you are sure he deserves it, and it's an entertaining spectacle

[1d20 = 16]
"I guess its my turn then. I do so love breaking things," Thez says as from her little garter-knife sheath a full-length almost-katana. It's dark blue with little flecks of crystals embedded in it, and the back is jagged crystals (not an edge per say, but jagged enough to cut with) while the main edge is thick and blunted. It looks like a glorified Boken.
"Lets do this then!" and she leaps forward at the closest one, who gets an attack of opportunity.

>>8386
>gets back
Now what?

[5d20 = 34]
The chain glances off her, doing no damage and failing to grapple. She's wielding it two-handed, and attacks.

>>8399
Trumpaldin has released you. Do as you please

rly? Sigh.
The first 3 attacks land.

[1d20 = 3]
>>8400
i follow thezs lead and jump attack one of them.

>>8404
Fuck me right.

Rly? Rly. Oh well, that's still enough to send the first one crashing to the ground. Unfortunately, her sword gets tangled in its chains and she loses it.

>>8405
Its not your turn yet,... and you can't fly.

>>8407
i just jump realy good.

>>8409
Oh, you'll be able to hit him, but what then? Cat's fall or whatever only diminishes the damage from a fall by an effective 10 feet.

>>8409
Trumpaladin moves into position to rescue the falling inferius when he messes up his dice roll

>>8391
Idk if I'm even following, I missed so much
>sensed motive earlier
>has calmed down
*clears throat*
"Well, it seems pretty obvious to me..
Thez must have stolen something very important to a lot of very vengeful people and broken some kind of ironclad rule that maintains peace in the Mechanus realm, so they sent these things after her to deliver justice.
>is transitioning to lawful
".... So, ~Flashy, what are you going to do?"

*draws knife*

[1d20 = 4]
>>8410
i grapple with my second attack

[1d20 = 2]
So its Torcuil's turn, but levitate sucks (20'/round). I'm going to assume he uses his Power rod to magic missile.

>>8412
Trumpaladin flies over to Tracy, and offers her a bag of popcorn. Obviously he offered popcorn to Fae first.

... which is totally ineffective cuz Zs also have spell resistance.
>>8413
NOW its your turn. So, you're jumping at one, attacking, and then attempting a grapple? Are you sure that's what you want to do? You really should cast airwalk. Just saying.

>>8415
*accepts popcorn*
"Those spiked-chains look awesome.."

[1d20 = 9]
>>8416
yes thats my move.

*ponders how she's able to stand in mid air, suddenly*

[1d6 = 5]
>>8418
I did warn you. Infernius leaps magnificently from the tower and brings his flaming sword to bear against the Z. While his strike does not effectively land, he does damage from the fire.
As he attempts to make his second attack - a grapple - he realizes he is wielding a two-handed weapon and has no free hands.

>>8419
A lot of women wonder that after experiencing the Trump

>>8421
TOP KEK

>>8420
*sigh* move to intercept falling Inferius

[1d20 = 11]
and

>>8420
playing my character.

Trump grabs him but is unable to hold on, but Fae is able to grab him with her claws.

>>8426
Well played, I get it.

>>8428
as im falling im sobbing violently due to phobia of falling.

[6d20 = 59]
The Z that Infernius attacked is momentarily surprised, but pays him no mind as he falls away.
With Thez in the open, all six go full attack with their spinning chains.

>>8424
Have any of the bots been defeated?
>momentarily considers finishing one of them off in a sneak attack

In a dizzying display of acrobatic prowess, Thez deflty avoids every chain, laughing at some points at the Z's continuous failure.

>>8431
Trump gets an idea
"Maybe Lenos knows what the hell is going on"
Trump has Fae move over above and away from the fight, moving towards the top of the crystal. Inferius is set down on the top side of the crystal as Trump flies over to the control room where he expects Lenos to be

*continues watching the fight*

>>8434
Reminder, the crystal has a gravitic field. Its like velcro. Still that's fine. Its Tracy's move, and by my calculations she's still at least 10 minutes out.

Oh, snap

>>8436
>Tracy's move
Wait, what? I thought I was playing lawful and just watching.

>>8438
*moves closer?*

Alright. Trump does his thing, and its Thez' turn again.
She unravels one of the chains wrapped around her, which has a gunmetal-colored octahedron on the end. "I haven't used THIS in a while, should be fun though!"
>>8438
Thats fine, its just the sequence of initiative.

*stealth*

>>8440
By the way, this should free Inferius for actions, although it would probably take a round or so to get back to the fight

[4d20 = 51]
She starts flailing the chain about, attacking another of the Zs
>>8442
Correct, he's up in a sec.

No rape

[4d8+124 = 140]
Success

And a second of the Z's comes crashing to the ground, several small pieces breaking off on the way.

>>8447
*interest perks*
*zooms dopwn towards the wreckage to appraise loot*

Torcuil, who is now 60' off the ground decides to hold off on his assault and wait the scene out.

Infernius' turn

>>8450
ok im on top of the pyramid right?

>>8451
You should be near enough an entrance

[1d20 = 14]
>>8451
Correct.

>>8452
>>8453
uh?

Do i need to activate my Appraise, Use Magic device, Disable device, or craft skills to resource these bodies?

*Hides machine parts in undisclosed location, after pulling-out their cores*

>>8448
Its a pile of alabaster (the 'skin') and an intricate array of varying metals all sprocketed and geared together. The armor is the same type of metal that the weapons in the treasury were comprised of, and many of the servos and joints are of more precious/rare metal. The whole pile (there's two so far) is a veritable pile of really good/useful shit, not to mention the spiked chains (they have 2 each).

>>8455
You're in the middle of a field. Where do you plan to hide it, and/or how do you plan to sneak off with it? e_e
>>8454
The dice was for Tracy's appraise/search check.

>>8453
can i get where i am above the zs?

Well, if it's my turn

Trump now sets down on a top entrance and enters the tower, heading straight towards Lenos

>>8458
Not directly, but generally you can move to where you'll be roughly overhead ish.

>>8456
>thief quirks don't fail me now
*hides in hiding spotso nobody else can use it after pocketing the pieces that seem most valuable*
>>8457
>stealth
*covers in dirt*

[1d20 = 19]
>>8460
ok i try a plungeing attack. and after i hit or miss i cast airwalk.

>>8462
Did you ever stick the sword in the keen machine?

>>8463
I think once, but that was a long time ago, before he modified it.

>>8463
yea i think i did.

[1d100 = 9]
>>8465
I'll take it.

>>8449
Eyyy I like thss Idea when Im gone

>>8467
ey meme machine.

[1d6 = 44]
That didn't work. Lemme try this.

>>8469
Eyyy, beef steaks
So, if I am not mistaken. It's the cenataurs that are attacking, right?
