>>84213"You can rub harder."
>>84214"sounds.. ah.. like a great idea."
>>84215"Good thing you are into it." He chuckles.
[1d20-1 = -10]>>84215Strength check for maximum hardness
>>84222>>84220Iron looks to the sides, feeling like he is walking in on a couple fucking. "Well, you both seem to be busy. I will try not to intrude on the massage any longer. Do not forget to bring Star with you when the fight with Fillipe is arranged, Skies." He then tries not to make any eye contact and tries to muffle any suggestive noises by covering his ears with his hooves, forcing him into a sitting position.
Sister Ash is walking towards the house, grumbling something in Druidic about automobiles being evil.
>>84228It's Ash's choice if she wants muscle or not. Iron would be fine either way.
Actually not really, but OOC I don't really want to screw Ash's questioning by forcing her to miss the target.>>84227I hope you have high levels of sense motive. >>84224As the pony lives in the west side of town, while the Eastside tavern is located in... well, I’ll let you guess, but it’s a 15 minute walk at minimum
>>84223“Oh please. He’s less into it than Silver was”
>>84231When she arrives, she finds that it is a gated community. There is a Pegasus guard at a booth at a roadway entrance
>>84231
Just to be clear, she is going to try to meet him at the house, and not at city hall?
>>84233Iron does not change position, only letting go off one of his hooves off his left ear. "That is because you have just started. Silver took way longer to reach the 'moan' level."
>>84234Well, there wouldn't be very much of a point meeting him at City Hall. She's going to the house.
>>84236Really wishing I'd prepared a few spells got this...
>>84237Well, the scene is as described. The guard seems content to stay in place when no pony approaches
>>84240Hmmmmmmmmmm...
Guess I may as well just play it how I think she would.
Sister Ash walks right up to the pony.
"Good afternoon." She says politely
>>84241“Good evening” replies the guard, reasonably serious but not not annoyed or irritated. He wears a brown uniform, and is of a tan coloration
>>84243Sister Ash gives another bow
"May I ask, is this the manor of [insert the guy's name here]?" she asks, looking around
>>84245“He is a resident of this community, yes”
>>84248"Ah, very well then" she replies, dusting herself off
"I had hoped to meet him as he was passing through here, but I would not want to loiter. Is this area outside this gate on private property?"
>>84249“It is the public property of the City of Baltimare”
>>84250Sister Ash nods
"It would not be of offense if I waited here, would it?"
>>84251He looks at her strangely
“... No”
>>84252Sister Ash by now is used to ponies looking at her strangely.
"Thank you very much, Sir. I will wait right here then." She says, stepping back a square or two and sitting down.
>>84254Pray to mother nature, Ash! Surely, Comte will walk out at your whim and confess to everything!
>>84256>When you're Chinese and you use the sidewalk>>84257Sister Ash remains there for some time, sitting patiently and brushing the tip of her long, leonid tail.
[1d20 = 5]>>84259I'm regretting posting that gif too early...
>>84260On the plus side, the sidewalk has not collapsed. On the downside, Comte has not come through
>>84261Was there a time she she could have expected him to go through?
>>84262Given Blue’s insistence that she go by automobile and not by hoof, probably about 5 minutes before she arrived
>>84263Well fuck.
Sister Ash sits for a few minutes waiting, before it dawns on her that she's late.
Her eyes seem to widen momentarily, before she hangs her head.
>>84264She can still meet him, just not then and there
>>84264At the bar, Iron feels a chill run down his spine. He hopes Ash is okay.
>>84265I'm not sure she would know that, actually..
She mostly just wanted to get there before the rest of the party planned their break-in thing they talked about.
>>84266No he doesn't, fgt.
>>84267Well, I think she heard about it from Blue.
Then again, I don't think she knows where city hall is either.
>>84267I mean, an NPC told her those things 20-30 minutes before
>>84270Well, she'd normally be about ready to give up for the day, cuz
>No spellsBut she's going to wait for the party to get ready to do whatever it is they had planned, since it was idea in the first place.
..But that wouldn't be right to do while the guard is watching her, so she's going to go back to meet them on the way there.
She gives a bow to the guard, thanks him for his time, and leaves.
>>84271She walks back the way she came.
>>84273I've already messed up the plan enough today, but idk what I'll accomplish by going to city hall.
>>84273Well, he tried way before but for some reason complications sprung up, something about my armor. After that, it just became group bonding time.
Surely time would stop for some group bonding time, right? >>84274Besides, I don't wanna do my thing in front of a crowd of people.
Sister Ash returns.
>>84276Hmmm... I may need to rethink this
>>84277You’ve only used like daylight and offensive spells
>>84278Well, that's not good.So, did Ash reach the tavern, or are you going to show a sign for Ash to follow before she can reach our position?
>>84279If Ash returns to the tavern, that’s like 40 minutes round trip, and an hour if she leaves with the rest of the group after the group waited 40 minutes to leave. That means either that 1. The group wasted an hour of their two hour timeframe to do the burglary, or 2. Ash left way early and should have met the guy
>>84278Well, it's more accurate to say that I prepared today's spells with the mentality that I was needed for combat healing today.
>>84280Well, a way to shorten this is to mobilize early if that's the case, then we meet Ash on the way back, but we're going to need Silver, Star and Spark to move out. This way we should have saved more time than if we wait for her to come. Skies can help by, you know, not massaging Star and looking at the time. She seems like the mare to be impatient. With her pushing, we could all go to that house and meet Ash along the way.
>>84282*meet Ash on the way there.
>>84282**we should save more time than by waiting for her
As good as Blue is with backrubs, we should probably pause the game and wait for Star and Spark to get here so we can actually go through with this mission.
>>84285That's what I said. Be sure to watch the time and communicate that we are wasting it at the tavern when they get back. That should clear Star and Skies' heads.
>>84286It was Dark Star and Blue who wanted to leave today. I think they would leave as soon as they're ready.
>>84287Also, how many hours have passed since they left the cellar?
More importantly, what's everypony's HP right now? Dark Star should gave like 14, iirc.
>>84285I actually have a class this evening. I should be back to continue though.
>>8428814 as well if I recall.
>>84287True enough, but it's just a precaution. They might be too engrossed to notice the time right now.
>>84288I think I slept enough for 3 quarters of my health to regenerate but I'm sure that I did not heal off all my bruises. That would mean it's at 32 HP, rounding up the .5.
>was wondering why characters not injured in combat would need to regenerate health
>remembers exactly why
>>84291Onyx was injured, but I healed him, mostly.
>>84288I'm not sure if there's a difference between lethal and non-lethal HP, but he should be full up on lethal HP and have somewhere between 30 and 50 non-lethal HP if there is one. I'm also not sure how much of a difference sleeping for most of this time made, but the minimum is 30 if it had no effect and the maximum is 50 because max health.
>>84295Well, I'll go for a short nap. I'll be back in about 2 hours. If we start before that timeline or I sleep more than that, Iron will follow Star as he goes out as a companion. Hopefully, the GM will let us get away with going to the house while incidentally bumping into Ash somehow. I'll see you guys later.
I just realized that Silver hasn't engaged in his horrid practice in well over a day now
Sorry about dying. I think I've fixed the problem, now to see if if my head falls off again.
So, who is here, ready to do the heist?
>>84302I am. Be with us dice gods. Please!
>>84302I'll include myself on this list, but it's kind of obvious that I am ready since I started the rolecall.
>>84304Have you figured out the new story path, GM?
>>84305Yes, which is "just do the thing," but the problem is getting enough people online at the right time
>>84306I hope they are. Usually Star, Spark and Silver are here at this hour, followed maybe by Ash.
>>84308You aren't going to black out now, right?Silver and Ash are the last two players remaining.
Also maybe Onyx >>84309I am here, even though I'm tired.
>>84310Alright. Silver is the last one remaining.
Never forget Onyx, the pony who is never late or early, just comes at the right time. >>84310>>84312>>84313>>84314Well, we seem to be ready whenever you are GM.
>>84306 Alright, I guess everypony advances onwards to the location. Along the way, they meet Ash. On the edge of the community is a very large fence, with a guard at a booth
>>84316Silver looks through the fence to get an better idea of the community they're trying to infiltrate.
>>84317Pretty wealthy. It's not the wealthiest ponies in all of Equestria, but damn it it is up there. Average value is about the equivalent of lower end millionares
>>84316Iron awaits the course of action, which is probably going to be a bluff through the gate.
[1d20+7 = 16]>>84319"Go get the guards attention."
Spot check to find any weakness in the fence
>>84318It still makes Silver whistle to himself. It's been a while since he's been in a place like that.
>>84319Silver similarly waits for either Dark Star or Blue Skies to get them inside, not trusting his abilities to bluff his way through.
>>84319Sister Ash waits down the block and out of sight, not wanting to be seen by the Gaurd.
>>84320"How much attention and which type of it?" he whispers to Star.
>>84320Whether there is
any weakness in the fence is not immediately discernible, because the fence spans a long distance. Does he want to traverse the entire distance?
>>84323"Be as loud as possible and try to get the guards to check on you."
>>84324Yea he does
