This thread begins the next leg of the game, where GM (likely unsuccessfully) teaches of the wonders of rare-meat. Yes, I know Trump IRL likes his steak well-done, and to me that alone is evidence of controlled opposition. I still support the man, but dammit. Rare meat is the finest you can ever taste, satisfying immediate/basic hunger needs better than well meat, but also satisfying more primal urges and evolution. Remember, meat is only unsanitary if it is old or processed through a slaughter-house with poor quality control.
Enough about meat, lets get back to the game. Infernius is attempting to Leeroy Jenkins at the orcs, except that he has to climb a rope ladder to do so (cloven hooves = slower climbing). Tracy mulls about a very closed for business city that has cannons on the south-face, not yet realizing that unless she wants to go Nightmare (and thus ethereal but also glowing-in-the-dark) she's SOL.

"The gold and jewels have been coming from nearby localities, particularly Cardishore (they're absolutely swimming in money). The jewelry has likewise been going back to Cardishore and Sparintenar, and through them has been transferred further on by other contacts."

For simplicity's sake, yes

Tracy really doesn't like Trollestia though.. The most she'd ask her for is the protection of someone else at this point, although that could change in the future, just not immediately. I'll figure something out.
Also, ask him more about Cardishore

"Its a giant social media, self/group promotional, edifice of narcissism and entertainment. The city was founded in response to,... a musical phenomenon that was once known throughout the Game, but which went missing. A few wealthy patrons got together and started a talent search, which gained money, fame, and recognition. Over time it continued to develop, until now it's a vast and successful major city centered around the pursuit of glory, praise, money, and marketing."

"You've probably seen the line outside. Those are the people without particular skills and talents, who desperately cling to the idea that if they just stand in line and wait their turn, someone will notice them and they'll be admitted inside and experience some fairy-tale dream of success and grandeur. Those people never make it."

Most of it, yes. And yes she does. You'd have to talk to someone in/from Cardishore to find out more, since they're not just giving out the secrets/methods of success, nor what goes on inside.

I didn't know anything about Cardishore until now, except that it seems really advanced, and that it's a pain and a half to get into.

Oh, it was mentioned. Thats the most direct explanation that I've given, but I've given most of those details as tidbits and mentions.

I've been meaning to have another crack at that place, although Tracy's only motivation is to retrieve her knives.

You should definitely tell your Flashy about the situation so he can de-fuck it. He likes openness, especially relative to finding out from other people first

Thez <whooof> to the stable. "How are da widdle birdies?" She taps at one of the eggs, which shakes a bit in response.
>>24181
Go talk to her first. She's got so much estrogen in her system right now that she'd sit on those eggs forever.

This. This is also why I/Thez went along with it, because character/biology considered, it is a remarkably in-character set of decisions and responses.

The benefit to using all this math is that I can still make in-character decisions while hammered.

There's something to be said for developing the ability to function while hammered,... I know it sounds degenerate but I can speak at length on the psychological and dispositional indicators and ramifications.

Oh come on people, stay sober! Especially Tracy's faggot. You're not old enough to drink!
What about the local geography? Any natural resources or interesting areas in the region? What about monsters and megafauna?

Yes, but 'hammered' causes the individual to function on a more instinctive and reptilian-brained level. While the reptilian brain is far less reasonable, it is particularly keen when focusing on more natural and subconscious aspects of interaction. Body language and voice intonation analysis is significantly increased, for example.
>>24191
Not much to speak of. Apparently previous parties didn't much care for local flora and fauna.

Do the books come from records of previous campaigns.

No, those are closely guarded secrets specific to the communities they would be found in/amongst. Its not like "today" where "Here is the tomb of blah blah, come by and visit, and be sure to check out the gift shop"

Alright, so much for arcana knowledge.. May as well delve into past relations.
What about destinations with specialized craftsmen or serviceable NPCs? Did any of the previous campaigners take note of places where they had equipment made, or exotic spells cast for them? What about potential allies to the party.

Again, the books are antiquated. Its been about 300 years since those books were published. I'd hate to concoct a bunch of details that are entirely irrelevant now.
I can say that Krenshal blur-blur "was" known for two things; autism, and autism. That IS in the books.
>>24200
The available merchants whom you're able to readily talk to all come from by land. They have traveled by foot and can't comment on ports.
Gee, its almost like GM is trying to get the party to ask the 1 living pirate they have at their disposal.

Thez gets bored and <whooof> leaves the stables. Ponymaru snuck out earlier, but was unnoticed 'cuz he got a good die-roll. Trollestia and Tracy (and eggs) remain.

Its the bright red dot. Also the gold is the SJW/orc village, and the white dot is where the trolls attacked from.

No worries, she poked the egg, the egg wobbled (of its own accord). She was satisfied with that. Besides, she's gotta teach the Fight Club about sundering the incoming weapon.

And there you find Trollestia standing with her head out a window, and Tracy curled atop small car-sized eggs, emanating heat (and a little smoke) with a dazed yet contented look on her face.
IIRC, this is the first Trump has seen of the eggs.

Yeah, a Darkskull with Cause Fear as it's Unhallow spell. I wasn't in the open, but in the woods close enough to the crossroads that one who were already looking for it could find it if they searched the wood.

Troll brings her head in, looks at Trump, then at Tracy, and then back at Trump. "Mheh heh" she giggles at him and sticks her head back out the window.
>>24219
Creative license of the Nightmare-flaming/smoking. Its almost entirely story with no combat modifiers or effects, so as long as its tactful I'll allow it.

Retrieves oven mittens, and then uses them to remove Tracy from hay stacks before something spontaneously combusts. Tracy is placed in a non-flammable environment

Couldn't Infernius use a combination of his Divine Spells to lead us to the Drow? Or at least enough to get on their trail so Tracy can track them?

"You, you, you still haven't told me why... There's... Eggs..."
He appears clearly scared and ready to move backwards and away

One of those has got to get us enough to catch a trail with the rest of the party's skills, right?

Infernius shifts into a fast-forward vision. The gold is collected in relative range of the tower (by travel distance) in an area surrounded by shrouds, dividers, and tables (more fast movement) relatively out in the open, but surrounded by edifices and individuals.

It suddenly occurs to Trump that while there has always been a Bazaar, there has been observably increased activity in and around it of late, coinciding stragely with the the timing of the first burglary (Ben). This can be no coincidence, is the thought he's left with.

Trumpaladin says to Tracy:
"This is not over yet, I'll be back" as he backs away and makes a tactical withdrawal
His faggot, meanwhile, is occupied by other things and cannot do anything for several hours

Well, now that he's got a clear mental image, he could use Locate Object to lead us right too it.
My guess is that it's beneath the city.
