"I think I'm going to have to save the meat of it for a time when we have more privacy, more time to speak. But I do want to say that you impressed me there. I don't think it has been any secret that I was not... fond of your demonic elements? If that makes sense. But risking everything for comrades... That impressed me. It made me think about why I had been fighting, and what I expected to gain. What I did gain. What the consequences would be"

"Well for what it's worth, I never chose to be a devil, I simply chose not to die. The rest was a matter of inevitability and forces beyond my control. Thanks to you and everyone here, I'm free of all that. When you're ready to talk, let me know," she kisses Trump on the cheek.

Coldly, almost as if not talking to Inferius, but past him. To no one:
"We killed a mage and his pet known for causing death and destruction pointlessly. And our first act - we, who shall lead the new order - is to bathe in a bath of blood. This does not bode well for our future"

"Inferius, I have much to explain to you later, when we are alone and have time. I experienced a revelation during the fight"

Thez smiles, first at Trump, then at Infernius.
To the latter, she says. "I'll only be 32 seconds, precisely," and to the former she says "Shhh, don't fight it." <whoof>
Both Thez and Trump appear at a meadow with a small creek/river running through it.
"She's just beyond these waters. And she's lonely. Her friend has not come to see her in days. The way back is to the south, follow the path past the large tree. Don't tell Tracy I told you. ^_~"
And exactly 32 seconds after appearing, Thez <whooofs> back to Infernius.
"Sorry, it was business," she smiles at him. Leading the way to the new bath house (not my idea, but) it becomes apparent that there are two main tubs, one filled with blood, the other filled with purified water.

As Trump continues north, he sees a large and serene tree, not like the one that hid the jew hoard. As he approaches he notices the grass is long and undisturbed, flowing in the breeze. As he glances at it, a voice calls from behind the tree. "Who,... who goes there?"

Thez takes his hand (suddenly realizing that she's totally naked and without wings to cover herself, but still bespeckled with gems, decides its far too late for modesty) and leads him forward.

Trumpaladin extends out a hand to see if he will meet her, but generally shows that he means no harm
"I sort of know you. From a distance. I saw you in korak's ship, and sought to try to free you that night. That didn't go so well. He's dead anyways, we killed him. You need not fear him ever again.
What is your name, and where do you come from?"

"I wanted to speak to you. I am here with a party of people, who, like myself, did not start on this world. I like them, but I felt I needed more contact. I am well known among the people of the town, but they expect much of me. Have a certain idea of me - not bad, but I don't want to maintain that appearance now. I saw you and recognized you as an Equestrian. I knew Equestrians in my past life, always got along with them. I know of only one here, and well, let's not talk about her. I wanted to seek out you. See if maybe we don't have something in common"

As those who are want venture to the new bath house, they are immediately struck by a sign, with fresh, gleaming paint. Lenos walks way from the doorway. "You're welcome," he says.
Emblazoned across the doorway is the unmistakable phrase:
"NO HOMO"

Sorry, I mistook your meaning. I thought that you interpreted my 'leaving the proceedings open to the imagination' (not in a lewd sense, but in an endearing and sincere-but-otherwise candid sense) as something that might parallel what happened with Trollestia and Torcuil, or you for that matter.

Kek, I'll fill in what would have happened for you: Trumpaladin asks Slovenia much about herself, but really, tries to spend the night talking to her the way girls talk to other girls. That is to say, he uses her mostly as a wall against which to throw his negative emotions and his dis-contentedness, maybe trying to seek sympathy or company with her in that regard. Basically, he tries to make her a confidant, possibly taking advantage of how she's sort of a captive audience.
He eventually falls asleep there in the meadow, partly because he doesn't want to go back, partly because he's too tired, and mostly because he doesn't know the way back.
I was eaking at the implication that she gave him her real name

Okay seriously, why is Tracy creditted as killing the Tarrasque? Under the order she had already gone that round, when she threw the grenades and blew her hoof up. When Nordfilly cast determination, it was the last move of that round. The next move would have been mine and the Tarrrasque's, with Thez and Trollestia moving before Tracy

Here's the thing. Binging on those "how to be a great PC/GM" has brought a few things to mind, and while I appreciate MUCH of the insight that is presented in those videos, it also highlights one of my issues with tabletop games in general, and why I set out to craft this Game in the first place.
For one, while the rules are most useful in maintaining a degree of cohesion to the "game engine", outside of having a computer to verify that each and every rule is followed, including every modifier and attribute, there are points where it all becomes 'too much', especially with regard to the flow of the game. There are all sorts of (too many?) little tweaks that can be applied that change the gameplay dramatically, but without improving the quality.
Take this example, if anyone had taken the Improved Initiative feat (and I had applied it) that could have changed the order of activity for the whole fight. This would have lead to an entirely different process, but in order to appreciably allow for that I would have to make certain that every player knew about "Improved Initiative", as well as the whole slough of feats and modifiers, and skills, and what have you. That level of investigation or dissemination might be fun or viable to players who have little or nothing to do with their free time than read through the books countless times (which I've done and I STILL miss shit all over the place), but since everyone here has better things to do (mostly Xp), I prefer to just play the frickin' game and creatively ad-lib when in doubt. I mean, I didn't even bother to precisely calculate most character's modified AC, simply because the dice are more than able to indicate the rough probability of success, within a reasonable margin of error.

>I prefer to just play the frickin' game and creatively ad-lib when in doubt.
This is really the most fun way. Rulecucking The Game too rigidly might also discourage other players from joining. As long as I can still keep doing cool stuff, I'm satisfied.

Likewise. Any time I've joined a new group, the GM has insisted I spend 2-3 hours spelling out every detail of a character, when the gross majority of those details never even come into play (including HP, skills, etc.). Fuck that shit. I mean yesterday I was particular about setup and preparation (both cuz I was multi-tasking and cuz otherwise it would have been a slaughter; imagine if the party had walked in in a group and just attacked the Dog!) but that was an exceptional case.

I had intended it to become the official game-ball of the Denver Bronco's, with the lingering threat of it being used by nefarious forces to bring back the Dog at some point.

I kind of wanted to make some cool armor out of its carapace and scrape the body for mutagens, but an official ball is good too.
Before she loses her Ebil powers, can Tracy begin mutating other horses for her Assassin cult?

For sake of progress and narrative, I will say this:
Since the game world existed before the PCs began their participation, there was naturally a variety of agendas and factions operating entirely independent of the PCs activities. NOW, the PCs have become among the most critical aspect of the entire world, having slain the grand tyrant and the horrible and oppressive regime he had enacted on the world. There are still factions and all, but suddenly (from the outside perspective) there is a new "game" in "town", and the existing story/narrative is vastly less significant and central to the story. Simply put, I apologize that the story has been so linear from this point, and my efforts will now be focused on allowing the PCs the ability to entirely direct the focus and direction of both the party, the Port (as well as the communities they interact with), whether through individual or group exploration.
>>19087
I didn't say I'm going to yet, I'm just holding it over your head should she use her abilities to malign the party further. Xp

Can she start the indoctrination/mutations though? Maybe add some Fiendish templates to some local equines?
It's also nice to get some individual exploration. Now I don't need to be as sneaky with her edginess.

That's why I asked if the removal of any and all outsider presence meant any and all. It seemed to me that, well, all traces of outsider would be removed if Thez lost the demonic elements that in part defined her
