>>84423Is Bree even in the house? Because there's definitely no sound. nyways, he opens onto a ong hallway. There is a door to his left, a door to his right, a door to his right further down the hallway, and open railing to his left past the door, and a door on the far end on the left
map coming soonish>>84424The guard cocks his head
You thought you were the only one who could do that?"You sound awfully articulate" he says, suspiciously
>>84425Guard truck over to the right, he would have to go around. Some lights on in houses, who knows who could see what
[1d20+8 = 21]>>84425>>84419Dark Star Moves silently towards the house
[1d20+4 = 8]>>84429>>84428Move Silently: Silver follows, moving silently and using what he's spotted to guide Star down paths that will keep him from getting spotted himself.
>>84428"I know. I also know that you need help in trying to reveal your true identity." He now puts his other foreleg inside the booth window. "You need to end your string of lies and free your soul. You will better for it. I guarantee it."
>>84431He gives Iron a
very sour look, and waves over to the other guards, in a hoof motion that could only mean 'fan out'
He says through the radio
"He doesn't
sound. Look and see if this guy brought any 'friends' with him"
>>84428Sneaking to the door on the right first
>>84434Well okIron tries to slide into the booth gently. "I have no friends, at least not here. I only have me to trust in this town." He attempts to pet him again, now being a lot closer
if he can slide inside his chest. to him. "But I do have compassion for troubled souls like you."
I fucked up in
>>84434. That should have said
"He doesn't sound drunk"
>>84436A little further ways down the subdivision
>>84437This door opens to what appears to be a master bed room. To the left is a very large bed, pink bed sheets. The floor is fairly open and has white carpet. There are dressers on the wall closest to bree, on the far side, and a night stand on his left. To his left is an analog TV, a painting, and two doors, one closer to the far side, one one closer to the door. On the far side are windows
>>84438He has an angry look, and now shines a light directly into Iron's face
>>84440*To his
right is an analog TV, a painting, and two doors, one closer to the far side, one one closer to the door. On the far side are windows
>>84440Silver continues to make his way towards the target house, careful to avoid any further guards.
>>84440Iron squints his eyes. "What is with the light? I only want to help you overcome your personal issues." He keeps trying to slip inside.
>>84440Cuts painting from frame, rolls it up, and gently sets it outside the room (from the door he entered from)
>>84443Not possible to slip inside
The guard says into the radio
"No shimmering of the eyes. I'm betting he's not drunk. Search for any confederates"
>>84444It is so
>>84442Noted
>>84446Can he try to 'bend' or break the window with his muscles? He needs to 'save' that poor guard."Why would my eyes shimmer? Are you coming onto me? I knew you were hiding your true identity."
>>84448He could probably tryHe keeps eyeing him suspiciously, and reaching for something
[1d20+11 = 14]>>84446Search for hidden compartments/rooms
>>84449Will that spook the guard into shooting?Iron is kind of standing there, both forelegs and head inside the booth. "Are you okay? You seem scared for some reason. I can still comfort you if you need it." Another pet attempt.
>>84450He finds none in that room
>>84451I don't think he can fit his head into the booth, nor both forehooves, He can fit a part of foreleg in though. The guard continues standing back. He has started looking over Iron around at his surroundings
Check the nightstand and dressers, in that order
[1d20+5 = 20]>>84453No time like the presentIron tries to open up the booth with some raw strength.
REEEEE EVERYTHING I WROTE WAS DELETED
>>84455*Chick-Chack*
GET THE FUCK OUT OF THE BOOTHHe is standing in ready position, has picked up the Shotgun, and has it pointed squarely at iron. A wing is reaching for his radio
>>84454Jewelry, mare's socks and panties. Nothing of much interest. Deeper in the dressers are more clothes. On the top of the dresser is a framed picture of a husband and a wife in some exotic seaside location, and a candle. On the nightstand is a copy of "Ponies and Prejudice" opened midway upside down, a pair of reading glasses, a lamp, and a framed picture of a father and a colt. There is no weapon nor holy book in any of the dressers or nightstands
>>84459>>84457They eventually - and I do mean eventually - get to the house. Before it is a well trimmed lawn and a half circle driveway leading up to the door. The house itself is of a vaguely colonial style. Two full floors with white walls, windows above the second floor in a sort of third floor, and black tiled roof. There is a poolhouse behind the house, and a pool
\r
>>84460So, did he at least do any damage on the booth?Iron just stares. "I am not about to hurt you. I just want to help you out on your identity crisis. No need to be so afraid of coming out. I do need to enter the booth though, so I can actually comfort you."
>>84460Silver looks at the pool and fights a strange urge to jump inside. Instead, he tries to enter the poolhouse.
[1d20+8 = 13]>>84460Dark Star stealth-fully enters the house
[1d2 = 2]>>84461Oh yes. Yes he did"
I said back the fuck off"
He talks into the radio
"May just be a pre-vert. Get back over here, he's busted into the booth. Will call BPD if necessary. I have my gun trained on him
[1d2 = 1]>>84454>>84463"
Woof!
Woof!"
>>84463How is he 'stealthfully' entering this house exactly?
>>84462The pool house has more glass on it, and a sort of bar area is visible inside of it
>>84462And there is a large German Shepherd dog in it
>>84466>>84467"..." Silver quietly and slowly closes the door to the poolhouse, wondering why in Tartarus anypony would put a dog in a poolhouse. He puts this away in a little mental note.
[1d20 = 10]>>84466The sorcerer catches up to the others... hopefully quiet-like.
[1d20-2 = -1]>>84464>>84465Fuck it. Let's go the funny route.Iron rolls his eyes. "Please. I told you I was not about to take advantage of you. I just want to help you. You are just too stubborn to accept it. I had hoped you would be more cooperative without the booth separating us." Iron sits down and looks down, about to try some stupid shit. He makes a deep breath and looks up at the guard, giving him some sad puppy eyes. "I am sorry."
>>84466he As queitly as possible turns the door knob
Dark Star has his owl friend try to distract the dog or at least make anypony that heard it think it's barking at an owl.
Check the door on the far side
>>84468>DoorIt is locked, but the dog can see him through the bountiful glass
>>84470Whatever you were rolling for, you failed
The guard looks kind of afraid, and looks at Iron strangely
"He must be high on something"
>>84472The owl may hoot loudly, although be advised that the dog is inside and the owl is outside. the door is locked
>>84473Two doors. One, when opened, leads into a walk in closet. The other leads into a bath. Which one to enter?
>>84474"Horse hockey."
you said the windows are on the 2nd floor?and can i see iron from where i am?
[1d20+4 = 5]>>84474Spot: Silver looks through the glass to see if there's anything of interest that would explain why Comte would have a Germane Shepherd inside such an odd location.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME
>>84476It is a walk-in closet with suits hung up and racks of shoes towards the ground, besides some more normal clothing, ties, and mare's formal attire. Who can say if there is anything on the floor under other items?
>>84478A spider falls down onto Silver from the Poolhouse. It is now on Silver's face
>>84477There are windows on both floors, as well as a sort-of third floor. He definitely cannot see Iron
>>84486There is a safe on the floor of the closet, besides a few isolated shoes and ties that fell onto the floor
>>84485ok,Dark Star sees if they left any windows unlocked
[1d20+11 = 30]>>84485I'll assume that I am in range for this.Iron attempts to boop the muzzle of the guard, giggling a bit at his imminent reaction. No, this is not lethal or non-lethal. It's just a boop, which will use unarmed bonus hit chance.
[1d20+7 = 8]>>84485Grapple: Silver immediately freaks out from having something jump on his face, and tries to shake the spider off of him.
>>84489You did roll a 19 for this, but no. You may not assume you are in range for that
>>84490That spider is right on his fucking eyeball
>>84488Roll a 1d20
[1d20+11 = 20]
SWEET
Pick that bitch (disable device? Same modifier)
>>84492"OWOWOWOWOWOWGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF" As Silver has a mental freak out, he jumps into the pool to try to get the damned arachnid off of him.
>>84493Even though I am skeptical of that modifierBrie is able to eventually able to use his superior hearing to hear where the tumbles unlock. When he opens it, he sees a couple items of jewelry, a wad of paper money, a booklet, and what must be antique coins of a foreign make
>>84494He can boop the air, which spooks the guard
"Back off Pervert"
>>84495"Splash!" The water is cold because it's like January, and there are no lights on in the pool
>>84497One window on the side next to the pool seems loose. Silver has jumped into the pool for some reason
>>84496Good enough for me. Taking everything, time to bounce, grabbing the rolled up painting on the way out.

[1d20+5 = 11]>>84496Swim: He thrashes about some more to make damned sure the spider's off, and then tries to swim out of the pool.
>>84496Iron attempts to get closer, walking extremely slowly. "It seems you fear your secret coming out. I never heard you talk about the issue we are discussing here. I know that you feel afraid. I also know that if you hide from it, you will not be happy. Please, find it in your heart to confess. The weight of hiding your identity will be lifted from your back and you will live free."
>>84498Dark Star walks over to the pool
>>84500Dark Star whispers "What the Buck are you doing?"
>>84502I hold back a chuckle.
"We got to help him out."
>>84499Alright, back into the hallway. Where to now?
>>84500He ungracefully finds the edge of the pool. It's fucking cold. I mean, it could be worse, but still
>>84501Iron can hear at least two ponies behind him
"Alright, back off"
>>84502Silver is ungracefully thrashing around
[1d20 = 16]>>84504Iron turns around to see how many ponies are actually behind him. "Are you here to help me out with this guard here? He needs some emotional support.
He gauges the ponies' strength and resistance against punches.
>>84502>>84504As Silver climbs his way out, he shakes and shivers, both from the freaking cold and from having a spider on his face. He looks spooked. "Чертов паук трахает! Чертовски холодная погода!"
>>84507Spark goes over to try and warm him.
"What happened?"
>>84505Two of them. One seems to be holding a baton, another has no obvious armament. Both wear brown uniforms
"Sir, you need to leave these premises" Says one
>>84504Out! He's got the safe contents,....
>>84510Alright. As he gets on the rooftop he hears.... splashing. He heard dog barking earlier from within the house, though that may have been because of him
>>84507At least he didn't do this in Saint Petershoof during the Winter
>>84509"I understand, but you need to help me. The guard in the booth has some problems. I think he is trying to hide the fact that he is a mare. Would you not help me?" He points at the shotgun-wielding 'stallion' "Look at him. He is pointing that thing on me in fear of his secret coming out!"
>>84507"Whyd you jump in the pool? and i found a loose window."
>>84512The guard in the booth tells the others
"I'm calling the police. Let him be their problem"
Another one says to Iron
"Sir,
You Need to Leave"
>>84508>>84513Silver hits himself in the face a couple of times like he's trying to bat something away from him. Whatever it is, it must already be gone. "Fucking Celestia-damned spiders..." Another involuntary shiver passes through his body. His clothes are sticking close to his form.
>>84511Indeed, this thought passes through his mind, and though he can't ever remember seeing a pool in Saint Petershoof, he remembers a dare he once did as a young and fairly stupid teenager in which he jumped into a local creek in the dead of winter.
>>84515"you're afraid of spiders?"
>>84516Alrighty then
Ass>>84517Nope. He is in a booth with a little wall in the way, as he has been for the entire time he's been described
>>84516INB4: He flies off with a crucial piece of evidence we need for this mission.>>84518"No, they are just creepy is all." He shakes a bit more from the cold. He looks a little miserable from being wet and freezing, but he'll live. "Besides...how would you react if you had fucking spider on your eye?"
>>84520"in my eye? i would probbly react the same way.now let me help you in the window,before you freeze to death."
>>84519Oh you're right, my bad, I should stick around until all the guards come? Or perhaps I should set off a flashbang and sing Africa from the rooftops? He just robbed a safe! What do you
expect him to do?
>>84523He nods. "There is Germane Shepherd in boathouse. Unless he has whole herd of dogs to guard every part of house, there might be something hidden in there.
"Now, show me where this window is, please."
[1d20+6 = 26]>>84522I beg to differ because I have that feat that lets me attack again per kill/knockdown.It all depends on dice though. Fingers crossed.Iron rolls his eyes. "Fine. I guess I will have to do some unconventional methods to help him out." He decks the annoying guard with the shotgun on the head non-lethally. He has gotten tired of his naggy attitude. Of course, he puts all possible hit bonus chance to damage.
>>84524If he is going to stop after only exploring the first room rather than everything in the house while he still has stealth, then sure, maybe he would quit while he's ahead. Now write up a character that would have motivation to stay in the story
[1d3+12 = 13]>>84527Rolling dat damage. It's double the dice.
>>84529>>84527>>84526I already explicitly told you he was out of booping range. He is not in punching range now, I do not care if you have a 20
>>84528Nah, I'm sure you can manage it ^_^
>>84525>>84522Dark Star walks over to the window and peeks inside before opening it
>>84526>>84527ATLAS YES!
I needed a moment>>84532One light on. Not occupied. Appears to be something of a livingroom, perhaps a library. He can see a sofa and cream colored walls
>>84534>>84525Dark Star Slides it open as smoothly and quietly as he can then he gets in a postiton to help silver get in.
i gotta pass out boys, i cant stay awake any longer sorry. >>84536I guess that's the cue to put the game on hold?
Okay, so Iron is extremely intent on getting the police called even though he's already served his purpose as a distraction. I guess I should let him
>>84535>>84533The problem Iron has with punching the shotgun guard is that there is a physical barrier between himself and the guard that blocks part of the way, and places him out of swinging range. It used to be a complete barrier, but Iron broke through the window. Now, he would need to climb over the barrier to close range. I guess he could just simply jump over it, and maybe,
maybe he could do that with a move action, meaning he can punch in the same round. He would need a dice roll each for the jump and for the punch, and would also need to go back outside to the other two guards. Because jumping over the barrier is a complex action, I don't think he could do that simply as a surprise. He would need to roll for initiative against the guard
>>84536Roll for... well, some sort of silence stealth
>>84541>nat 20INB4: Silver rolls another 1 when Star helps him through.
>>84541He's silent as hell alright. He opens the window, and enters silently.
>>84540Ah, if that's the case, then I'm not going for it. I thought it was a simple one punch per pony, knocking each of them down for funsies.
Nevermind.Iron shakes his head. "Fine, fine. I will move out. I will come back next week. He still needs to show her true colors." Iron then starts walking off the entrance and opts to find a building to wait on, as close as possible to the neighborhood.
>>84543>>84542He reaches down to help silver and spark
and ash?up
>>84545Spark and Ash are helped up... hopefully without a roll. Ash probably grumbles about sneaking in.
[1d20+4 = 12]Here goes nothing...>>84545Move Silently: Silver, with Star's help, tries to silently enter the building through the window.
>>84547>>84546>>84550It is a large room with wooden floors, chairs, a set of jazz instruments at the far end, and some bookshelves. There is a fireplace in the center. It spans from one end of the house to the other
>>84551Dark Star walks over to the bookcase
and looks for anything that would catch his eye.
>>84551>>84552Silver trots up to the fireplace to inspect it.
>>84553I'm still too pissed off about Bree's trolling to respond to your more manageable shenanigans at this moment. I'll get to you when I am able>>84552Histories, philosophers. Moltaire the Dragon Skeptic, Haycartes, Rude Sow, and so forth
>>84554Brick lined, wood burning. Three logs in it and some ashes
>>84555Alright. Be aware that Iron does not commit to the punching since he realizes that he cannot just jump in the booth, knock the guard down, then go back outside and knock the other two. I thought they were at roughly the same room.
>>84556>>84554Remember you two. We're looking for evidence that Burgher purchased a foal to incriminate him. Other, smaller infractions are good too to warrant an investigation of his house.
>>84557Well, he
could use a move action to cross the barrier each time, so technically all in three rounds assuming none of them run off and Iron actually hits, or the guard doesn't get a 20 with the shotgun.
>>84559That's exactly the problem. I thought that I could great cleave through all guards, but if the guard has a chance to fire even if all rolls are satisfactory, then it's not worth it.
>>84555Silver sits down in front of the fire to warm up.
I guess if Star's heading to bed, then I had better do so as well.>>84558Here's hoping Bree didn't make off with an important piece of evidence, then. I have a bad feeling about the booklet he nabbed from the safe. I will hazard a guess and predict the GM has paused the game. If so, I should rest up for a bit.
>>84561For his own sake, I hope he does not destroy it. I suppose there is no value in some document of a guy for a thief, though, so he should give it to us if we ask him for it.If he's smart.I'm sorry I passed out again...
>>84563Eh don't worry. It's fine.
>>84563Oh, hey, new name. Ash should be with Star, Spark, and Silver in sneaking into Comte's house. They're in a large living room right now.
>>84563>>84565Yeah, they kinda forced you into entering them. Hope you aren't mad. Iron probably made a guard shit in his booth tho.
Let us do a rolecall, just to see who is in this thread atm.
>>84572>>84571>>84569Alright, I'll fan the flames, see if the last two characters come out.
>>84568>tfw all of your friends are gathering up for the game just as you have to get ready to leaveSorry, guys, I gotta go. Don't know exactly when I'll be back, but it shouldn't be longer than a couple hours from now. If everyone else gets here, feel free to use Silver as you see fit. Just, you know, don't make him do anything stupid.
>>84577Hello. Currently thinking if I should meddle with the SilverStorm ship.
>>84579Well, I can't really bring back Storm to life in game, but I can make a clop scene for your character and her mare. I suppose Storm has similar stats to Silver?
>>84580Fairly so, yeah. Probably not quite as strong or resilient as him.
>>8458214 and 16. Now that I think about it. And no, no endurance feat.
If I were to come up with a character sheet, I guess her abilities would be somewhere close to:
Strength - 13
Dexterity - 18
Constitution - 12
Intelligence - 12
Wisdom - 9
Charisma - 14
>>84583Don't know why I added "Now that I think about it". Must have blanked really hard there. But yeah, a clop scene between Silver and Storm sounds bretty gud.
>>84583Tbh, that's 6 points higher than it really should be, as far as average stats go.
>>84584Anything in particular about your scene so that it favors your own thoughts on how Silver and Storm would have performed any sexual act? Not talking about fetishes here since it will be pretty vanilla.
Fetishes are degenerate>>84585Are you talking in point based systems standard? Fuck.
I just realized I forgot to look for one of the foal's possessions so I could use Caleb's scent...
>>84590To be fair, the only guide I have to average point scores comes from Silver, and I get the feeling rolling three 16s and a 17 is fairly rare.
>>84587Can't really think of anything in particular, except for foreplay. Can't get enough foreplay. Other than that, I'm not the writer here, so go for it.
>>84592I mean, it's a bit lower than I would have had her stats personally, but I'm not an expert at coming up with ability score. >>84592Because both the attack roll and most importantly damage Igor unarmed attack is determined by strength. Very importantly also, Silver does not have the +2 damage and +1 attack to unarmed attack that Iron does. The lack of weapon specialization and thr lack of strength makes the whole engagement lopsided in favor of Iron, even with slightly higher defensive stats like HP and AC. You need offense to win a fight, and Silver couldn’t quite compete
>>84595I wasn't talking about Silver and Iron's fight, but Silver and Storm's fight. Silver seems to have the big advantage here and should have won way easier than the story suggests.>>84594Alright, I'll keep that in mind. I'm unsure if I can whip it out soon if I want to write with some semblance of quality. Maybe by tomorrow or about 3 days maximum
>>84598
REEEEEEEE censorship!
>>84604Herro.Only Star remains to appear.
Alright, so I think that Iron decided that he did not want to attract police attention, Silver is trying to dry himself off by a fire that is probably not lit, Star has sneakily broken into a living room, I am not sure what Spark or Ash are doing, and Brie has decided that he does indeed have enough money despite being by far he most successful at stealth
>>84606>not attract police attentionCorrect.
>Spark and AshI don't know if Silver's carrying of them to the house counts. If it doesn't, Ash should be at the other side of the gate, maybe near Iron, as well as Spark.
>>84609>>84606Sister Ash passed out from malnutrition again and will wake up when it's convenient.
>>84609I can understand Ash not wanting to come perhaps, but I thought I was with Silver.
>>84606>BrieYou're close. He spent his time absent from the session last night to drop off his ill-gotten goods at his hideout. I'll explain that all in detail later. But, he did return to the scene, this time approaching from the main avenues where the party is (was?).
>>84610Well, the group is going to need to figure out how to deal with dogs
>>84611Should be
>>84612Alright, returning over the main entrance to the community from the thoroughfare, he can see that at least three guards with an automobile are handling a cross-dresser high on ketamine who busted down a window at the entrance. It is a good thing they are distracted, as they took the effort to hire pegasi who could deal with flying threats. When he returns to the house he sees that it is still empty with lights off, although there has been some barking of dogs. he would have taken note that while this guy is rich enough to have maids clean or guards follow him, he has neither living with him
>>84615I need to step out to go eat dinner, but my wild empathy mod is high enough to take 10 to influence domestic creatures.
The check takes 10 minutes.
>>84605Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
>>84615Silver decides to poke his head into the (hopefully unlit) fireplace and see if there's anything hidden inside it or the chimney.
>>84620If there is any kind of hidden anything, it is not immediately apparent to Silver. Carbon build up in the back implies that it is indeed functional as a fireplace. There is also an opening above to the chimney flue
>>84619It’s an era before transgenderism was recognized as a thing. Stallions who wanted to be mares would just be called “cross-dressers”
[1d20-1 = -6]>>84622Search: Silver feels around the inside of the fireplace and chimney for any sort of loose bricks that might be hiding something, or anything else of particular note.
>>84622I'll go AFK for a bit. Iron's last move should be to leave the premises and wait the others inside a social building close to the neighborhood itself. I mean any places that a strong stallion would not stick out like a sore thumb, like bars and taverns.
>>84623>stallions who wanted to be maresI suppose I went too far with the whole 'true identity' spiel to be labelled as a cross-dresser. Surprising since Iron does not even resemble a pony who tries to change his appearance to look like a mare.Or maybe it's the guard that's shitting itself, having been planted the doubt in her mind, and the others are trying to reassure him that he's a stallion. >>84623Or geldings, in some cases.
Also, I'm back.
Idk wtf is going on, but Sister Ash's first priority would be to search for the missing foal. She'll use Caleb's sense of smell to detect any traces ponies within the mansion.
>>84615Can Brie see the broken windows he caused?
Sorry, had to run to the store
