Title: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on February 10, 2013, 10:00:48 AM
Stat Checks!

1) roll a d20.
2) if you rolled under the relevant stat, you passed.
3) roll another d20.
4) this result determines the how well everything went. For example, getting around 10 is average, so if you passed then did what you wanted fairly effectively, while if you failed then nothing bad happened, you just didn't manage what you wanted. Lower numbers mean things didn't go according to plan (bad failure or gone horribly right), while higher numbers mean thing turned out well (great success or "well, it's not what I had in mind, but it worked!")

Modifiers are usually applied to your stat rather than your roll (so a positive modifier is a good thing). Here's a few common ones:
Cutie mark bonus: +3
Tiredness: -1 for a bit tired (late night), -2 for very tired (too much exercise), -3 for exhausted (literally falling asleep)
Injury: varies between -1 to -5. Check with me.
Adrenaline: +1 if you're in a life or death situation.




Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay

The setting:
This story takes place before Princess Luna?s transformation into Nightmare Moon, but after the defeat of Discord. Though Equestria is thriving, it is still recovering from the rule of Discord, almost a decade ago. The guards work tirelessly to make Equestria safe, but while the various towns are havens, the nights are haunted by many dangerous creatures that make travel between settlements difficult. Many a traveller has lost their life to bears, Manticores or worse.

You are a (relatively) normal pony, living your life when one evening a pair of Luna?s Royal Guards find you and insist that you follow them to a meeting with the princess. You do not know why royalty wishes to speak with you, but you?re not really in a position to refuse.

Here are a few things worth mentioning now:
1) This may be My Little Pony based, but it?s a fanmade RP, not the children?s show. Violence is likely and death is possible. Not masses of it, but don?t assume everything will work out in the end.
2) Theoretically we should use flowery Elizabethan English such as ?thee?, ?thou? and other old words. I?m too lazy to do that and I don?t know enough to use the correct grammar, so just talk normally.
3) You can play with the fourth wall and cartoon physics if you want, but none of you are Pinkie Pie. I won?t allow anything useful to come of using cartoon physics or fourth wall powers. They are for comedic purposes only.
4) This is still My Little Pony. There is always a non-violent way of doing things. You just have to find it.
5) No royal guards. Regular town guards are fine, but you do not work directly for the princesses.

Character creation.
Step 1: choose your race.
All ponies have their own innate forms of magic and traits. Pick whichever seems most suitable. I don?t really want to see a party made entirely of one race, so there can only be a maximum of two of any race until we have at least one of every race.

Unicorn: physically the weakest of the three races, unicorns are capable of directing magic through their horns in the form of spells. Unicorn magic is always used consciously, and tends to have swift acting effects. Unfortunately this means that unicorn magic is usually restricted to spells your character has learned, and complex spells require concentration.

Pegasus: pegasi are usually the fastest ponies, and are often (but by no means always) athletic. Their innate magic means they can fly, walk on clouds and manipulate the weather. Sometimes pegasi can have additional magic related to their special talents (see the cutie mark section), which usually manifests as various special abilities, such as the sonic rainboom, the ability to walk on water and some others.

Earth Pony: physically, earth ponies tend to be the strongest and most durable ponies. While some look down on them for their lack of obvious magic, earth ponies actually have just as much magic as the other two races. Earth pony magic is usually subtle, and tends to manifest in a constant effect on the surroundings. Traditionally, this ability has been related to nature, with plants growing far faster and stronger in the presence of an earth pony, even if said pony is actually doing anything. Earth ponies can also make good doctors, as patients can recover fast around an earth pony with a healing cutie mark.

Step 2: choose your stats.
There are five stats for your pony. Stats are from one to twenty.

Strength (S): The physical strength of your pony.
Endurance (E): Your pony?s stamina and toughness. This affects thing like how long you can use magic, as well as physical endurance
Agility (A): Your pony?s speed and manoeuvrability.
Magic Power (M): the effectiveness of your pony?s magic. Affects spells, weather control and the strength of an earth pony?s aura.
Intelligence (I): How cunning and quick witted a pony is. Useful for making the most of your special talent. Not used for how much they know, more for how quickly they learn.

You automatically have five points in each stat, and you have a total of twenty additional points to allocate as you please. High stats are better.

Step 3: choose your cutie mark.
Cutie marks represent your pony?s special talent. The vast majority of a pony?s magic comes from their cutie mark, so choose your special talent wisely. Unicorn magic, for example, is limited by their cutie marks as casting spells unrelated to your special talent is usually very challenging. You can get around this by figuring out some kind of connection between you talent and whatever spell you are trying to perform, but the more tenuous the link, the harder the spell.

For example, Rarity special talent is fashion. Since she works with gems a lot in her outfits, she is able to cast a gem finding spell. Similarly she could probably enchant clothing, repair fabric or rope, or maybe (at a stretch) cast something similar to a ?Want it, Need it? spell by making something or somepony magically seem more attractive. These spells would get harder to cast the less they had to do with fashion.

Step 4: name, description and background.
Your character will need a name, a description of their personality and appearance (and preferably a picture. Use pony creator) and a background explaining what they do for a living, what their special talent is and similar. A story describing how they got their cutie mark would be nice too.

Step 5: items.
I've made a technology section in a post below.

The rules:
The rules of this are going to be similar to Rav's RPs, E,TD and E,UD. Post your actions in the RP thread, and I'll determine their success. Some basic actions can be done without my input, such as lighting a fire, but if you have any questions ask me here.

You aren't going to have health point per se, but you might suffer injuries such as "bruised", "tired" and "amputated: leg" (avoid that last one). Some injuries can get worse if not attended to, so if your character is "bleeding: 10mins" then that means you will die of blood loss in ten minutes.

Stat checks are made by rolling under your stat on a d20, with various modifiers applying. If you succeed then a further d20 is rolled to determine how successful it was. This can mean that the action works, but does nothing useful, or everything goes fine, or that whatever you were doing goes horribly well (tries to move a rock; causes avalanche).

Battles and similar situations will be done by the three rounds rapid approach Rav uses. I'll go into detail about that when it comes.

I am going to make mana and stamina stats based on your character, but I'm not going to tell you what they are. Instead I'll just give you a vague idea of what you can do before you run out of energy and mana and let you find out what your limits are over the course of the adventure.

I want about 3-6 players, sign up below ;)

It sounds cool, but it's my little pony :'(. I was gona say care bears, but they are closer to strawberry shortcake. If I had the time I would give it a try just to try it out and it is a change.

Excellent. I was getting worried when I only got one response (I blame Sorck, and by extension FT). Make a character and we'll see who else joins. Don't hesitate to ask questions if there's something I didn't explain well enough.

Times? If you mean set set times that I want people to be here, thats not how this will work. I'm not going to say "be on at this time and we'll spend an hour RPing" because that would be too hard to arrange. I'm following a similar method to Ravager Zero in his RPs. You say what you want to say or do and when I see your post I'll work out what hapened.

Sounds good.

Is it cool if our characters are atypical of those found within the show? 



Pony Type: Earth

s : 5 +3=8
e : 5 +6=11
a : 5 +2=7
m: 5 +0=5
i  : 5 +9=14

Cutie mark: Interlocking cogs and gears

Name: Patent Pending


A pony who enjoys the thrill of inventing and occasionally creates over complex machines that only he can active/find useful.  Is intrigued by the use of lightning as a power source but feels resentful of what he perceives as an unfair advantage that both Pegasi and Unicorns have.  It was this resentfulness that inspired him to equal and surpass their magic through the use of technology.  At the moment he mainly utilises steam power in order to have his contraptions run (think steam punk pony).


While avoiding and often being downright rude to non earth ponies, Patent will freely share his inventions with other earth ponies freely (though of course would like payment through either food or favour).

Notes:  When I say over complex I mean Big and Bulky and a nuisance to use (hopefully fitting with the technology stage you are thinking).  In terms of weaponry,

Weapons: crossbow.  Think gear on the ground bit of the front leg (below knee so movement is not hindered).  Mechanism activated by movement of the front of the leg (i think ponies that the hand like joint we do?).  Extra bolts kept around other front leg in the same area using a rotation mechanism that allows the remaining bolts to be in a convenient place for reload.   (think revolver bullet ammo case with a loose fitting on the inside leg so that heavier objects will find their way there thanks to gravity)

Neat gear: a watch, mini telescope (just 2 bits of glass of different thickness in a tube-i think thats appropriate for time)...would like to add more but am afraid of going past restriction of available tech.

While crossbows were unavailable, and i cbf to make a cutie mark, but heres the coloring and general demeanor 2S2S004000238770013F06007004388AFEE1837008200621A098BA6CFF7FFF2X107F3FCC004CB2

Yay! A character!

I knew there was something I'd forgotten in the first post. A technology section. Remember this is set a thousand years before the show, so compact steam-powered machines seem unlikely. Hmm...

Right, here's the deal. Due to the existance of magic, technological advancement is a lot slower than it was for us. As such, not much has changed between this RP and the time of the actual show. Steam powered machines do exist, but they aren't very sophisticated (trains, for example, do exist but there isn't any real railway yet). For small, portable items, I'll have to limit you to very intricate clockwork. I'm sure you can find a use for that, and knowledge of steam powered machines might come in handy on your quest (i.e. I will ensure that everypony is useful, regardless of there special talent. No one should feel obliged to take a classic RP character like a fighter or a thief, but they can if they want and they would come in handy too).

Now, weapons since I'm sure someone will ask. Think medieval, and adapt it for pony use. No guns. Here are some examples (obviously unicorns can use pretty much anything without adaptation thanks to telekinesis):
Basically check with me first and you'll be fine. Come to think of it, can everyone also post their starting equipment? As long as you don't go overboard in terms of weight and value you can have whatever you want.

Cutie mark: Interlocking cogs and gears

Name:  Depends on other RPers-if we use mlp naming conventions to cutie mark: Patent

If we use standard names: Nick(olas)
No negative stats allowed, and I'd prefer it if you used MLP naming conventions. Would you like to be called Patent Pending or just Patent :)?

Also, a physical description would be nice, or you could use this (http://generalzoi.deviantart.com/art/Pony-Creator-Full-Version-254295904) to make a picture and post it as an attachment.

Minrat is correct. His character needs company.

Incidentally, you don't have to all start with weapons. If there's no reason for your character to own a weapon, you can go without. I can assure you that there will be opportunities to get weapons before the first fight, although there might not be much choice (daggers, wing blades, and short swords are most likely).

Name: Thunder Bolt
Type: Pegasus
Appearance: (I can't draw worth a damn, so no picture.) Dark Grey, almost black coat, pure white mane, red eyes.
Cutie Mark: Sound waves emanating from a dark thunder cloud.
Stats:
S 10
E 5
A 14
M 7
I 9
(The idea is that I am good in short bursts, but wear out quickly.)
As for magic, beyond standard pegasi I was thinking something similar to the sonic rainboom (which actually goes mach ten, fun trivia,) with less emphasis on the rainbow and a far more devastating boom when it goes off.
If I get a weapon, it'll definitely be the wing blades, but I don't think I would have any to start with.
Forgive me if my bio is too short:
Thunder has always had a tricky time in town. Even after finding a special talent, getting a good job was hard. After all, ome rarely needs to destroy all the glass in a large area. Not enough endurance to be a mail pony, not enough magic to be a weather pony, and as of yet has been denied with every attempt to join any kind of military or paramilitary group. Something about being to... what did they say... likely to cause accidental mayhem. Or take a nap on duty. Or cause mayhem while taking a nap. (THAT was a strange interview.) As it ended up, Thunder got a job as a farm hand's assustant. Thunder doesn't like having a job as a farm hand's assistant.

Almost exactly twenty minutes. Bravo ;).

Don't worry about the wing blades, you'll get them. Thunder Bolt is a good example of why I'm giving away some weapons (and some other equipment) at the start. Realistically there is very little he would own that would be useful on this quest, but I don't want him to be at a disadvantage for it. He's here because of his talents, not his possessions.

I've thrown together a picture of him on the character summary post. I wasn't sure what to do for his mane, so I just gave him one that seemed ok. He doesn't have a cutie mark in the pic because 1) I was feeling lazy and 2) a thunder cloud on a dark coat would be fairly invisible anyway. If anyone asks, his wings are covering it.

As for the sonic rainboom move thingy, how does Sonic Thunderclap sound for a name? It doesn't need a name really, but that's what popped into my head.

Hmm... either "and some other equipment" or "He's here because of his talents, not his possessions". If the former, I'll point out that that basically just means food and other travelling essentials. If the latter... meh. I'm sending you all off on a quest for a reason. You're not all just going to meet in a bar and decide to do something. You have been specially chosen for something. Your talents will be needed at some point, I'll make sure of it.

That's not a challenge to future characters. Don't make a really useless character to make life difficult for me, you'll wind up like Fluttershy in Dragonshy; a burden to everypony else until the very end.

Name: Pale Ale

Race: Unicorn

Strength (S): 7
Endurance (E): 12
Agility (A): 7
Magic Power (M): 8
Intelligence (I): 11

Cutie mark: An overflowing ale mug

Description: Bulky (for a unicorn), short dark brown mane and tail, mid brown fur, light blue eyes.*

The Manticore's Head Inn has been in the Ale family for generations. Pale Ale is the current owner and proprietor, and lives above the inn with his wife Amber Ale and daughter Ginger Ale. Quick witted and jovial, He is a natural barkeeper who's special talent lies in getting along with the ponies he serves as much as it lies in brewing excellent beer. He instinctively knows when to share a laugh, when to reign in an overzealous customer and when to simply lend a sympathetic ear; he especially enjoys hearing the tales of any traveller ponies pass through. Pale Ale is content with his lot in life, running his business and doting on his beloved wife and daughter. He would rather leave travelling up to other, less tied down ponies.

Since no one else has shown interest, we're just waiting for KoM to finally make his character. We'll start when he's done.

Incidentally, when enough stuff has happened I'd like to edit it into a story to post on fimfiction.net. Does that sound good to everyone?

Kingofmonkeys, I think everyone is getting bored of waiting so I'm setting a deadline. I'm starting this thing on Sunday, with or without you. If you can't get your character ready in time then I can try and work you in later on in the story.

Incidentally, I'm planning on sending out some guards to meet all of you (separately, unless you decide you know each other) in the evening to start the quest. Have a think about where your characters would be at around 7-8pm and how they'd react to some guards insisting that you go with them for reasons that they wont specify at this time. Oh, and take whatever items you plan on starting with along. The guards wont mind as long as you don't attack them.

Fillies and Gentlecolts...

F1RST P0ST! (http://secondsphere.org/index.php?topic=1051.0)

Sorry couldn't resist. Now then, I figured a good way to start this would be to let you all introduce yourselves. Three of Luna's royal guards (the ones with the bat wings) are coming to see each of you. All you need to do is write a short post in which the guards arrive, tell you to come with them and then, one way or another, you go with them. The only information they will give you is that they are under orders from Princess Luna herself.

Kingofmonkeys, if you can post your stats and an intro post like everyone else before my next story post (which will be the first time you all meet) then you're still good. Otherwise you will have to wait for another opportunity to join.

I found it interesting you assumed my character was male. I avoided Gender-specific pronouns in my character sheet just to mess with everyone.
So first I assume Minrat was female, now I assume your characters male :facepalm001:. I'm off to a great start here. I should probably change the picture I did, since that uses a male head.

Incidentally, I'd prefer it if out of character comments stayed out of the RP thread if possible. I don't mind minor infractions like posting links to dice rolls or stating something you couldn't think of how to say in character, but anything else should stay in here.

I give you: story! I apologise if the writing isn't that good, I'm not really much of a writer.

I also apologise for giving Patent more character than the rest of you, but I know more about his character than the rest at the moment. Once I get a better idea of the kind of ponies the rest of you are I'll be able to give you bigger roles. As it is, I didn't want to make you do or say anything out of character.

Also, if any of you have any questions about some part of the setting that you can't ask in character, feel free to ask here. I'm considering writing up a bit of background information about the guards at some point.

Minrat, if you want to make your own armour, don't make a post about it just yet. I'm going to want you to roll some dice to see how well it goes and how long it takes, and I need to have a think about what dice you'll need, which I don't have time for right now. Worst case scenario, it goes wrong and the armour is ruined so you have to choose ready made stuff, and your character is exhausted in the morning (and possibly has a few minor burns or whatever).
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Minrat on March 10, 2013, 11:48:58 PM
Fair enough.

I'm not sure about online dice where you can see the results, but for the purposes of staying in character I thought it would be better.

I do have a full set of physical dice.  I suppose I can film myself rolling if you need proof that i rolled what i did.

as for rolling dice http://www.wizards.com/dnd/dice/dice.htm or set up a campaign on roll20 both are reliable. I assume for armor there is some sort of basic heavy barding and maybe a club or something
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on March 11, 2013, 08:57:33 AM
I personally use this for online dice rolling: http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/

When you roll it gives the result in several different formats, including bbcode like this 1d20=13, 1d20=4 (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3966899/) which is handy.

Now then, your armour. For this - and most other dice rolls - you will need to roll two d20s.

The first roll is to see if you succeed, so if you roll equal to or under your Intelligence stat (in this case) you succeed in making the armour. Otherwise you fail and have to either use off the shelf armour or try again (which will take more time and leave you more tired).

The second dice roll determines how big your success or failure was. In this case,  if you succeed with your first dice and get a 3 on your second, then your armour is poor quality and you are really tired. If you got a 17 instead, you make some high quality armour very efficiently.

On the other hand, if you fail then get a 3, not only is the armour useless, but you also injure yourself making it. A 17 here would mean you make your mistake early on and don't waste any time, and also some of the materials are still useable. Either way, I'm not making up a table so you will have to use you own judgement (I'll correct you if you misinterpret the dice).

If you want, I can roll the dice for you this time to show you how it's done.




Incidentally, here is your map. It's loosely based on a map that was released as a poster by Hasbro. The only road to Canterlot is via Trottingham, or you go cross country, through the Everfree forest or wherever. For reference, if Ponyville existed in this time, it would be on the northern edge of the forest.

I'm a lucky ducky.  (i think-i assume the one on top represents the 1st roll)

I don't actually have an account, I just do one off rolls and post them. Maybe I should consider an account...

Now, on to your rolls. Generally any modifiers would go on the first roll, so they wouldn't help you here since you passed so spectacularly. Here is the run down:

The roll of "1" means it was a success, nothing more nothing less (you better hope you haven't used up all you good luck on this :P).

The "19" means you made, with effortless skill, an almost flawless piece of armour. You will get some nice bonuses in combat for it. You can either write up a post to showcase your fabulosity (a short post about you making it and the guard looking on in awe) or I can include it in my next story post.

By the way, you can only roll dice when you know what the outcome is. You know everything that could happen when making armour, so you can roll this yourself, but if you were trying to get information out of an NPC then I would have to roll it because I know all the modifiers, potential extra dice rolls and results that would be involved in it.

Finally, in future I'd prefer to have dice rolls in the RP thread. It makes it easier to know what dice are for what action. If you write a post about this then please include the dice rolls.

Right, on Tuesday I am going to send you on your way. So those of you that haven't grabbed some gear have until then (if you don't I'll just give you some basic travelling clothes).

I also need to know which way you are going. I gave you the map earlier, now you need to decide amongst yourself how to proceed. I don't mind if you discuss it in the RP thread, this thread or both, but I'd like an answer by Tuesday so I know what to write.

Here's a few things to consider:
- The more time you spend in the Everfree forest, the more chance of running into various dangerous monsters, plants and other stuff.
- That hilly region on the other side of the Everfree mountains? Diamond dog territory. That's where Rarity got foalnapped. Make of that what you will.
- Trottingham is very much out of your way, and no matter where you go there is always a chance of a random encounter. That said, it probably is the safest route. Maybe. :shifty:
- The most direct route (through the forest) will take about 2.5-3 days to get to Canterlot. Going via Trottingham will probably take about a week.

about to post (forum's back yaaay) but quick question when you say one piece of armor is that like just the chest piece just the helm or one set of armor?
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on March 20, 2013, 06:09:37 AM
Preferably just the chest piece. I haven't been particularly strict with it though. The reasoning behind it was that most ponies probably couldn't afford a full set of armour so having all of you completely decked out would draw way too much attention.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on March 22, 2013, 09:23:34 AM
I would like a consensus about your route. So far it's one vote for the forest, and one for going around (which could mean mountains, diamon dog territory, open plains or Trottingham. I'm not sure which way Thunder wanted). If you don't come to an agreement by Sunday then I'll probably send you through the forest since Thunder only changed her mind to spite Patent.

Also, what times are you guys usually online? It'd be useful for me to know when your likely to see my posts.

Get ready for your first fight scene. There are four timberwolves.

Fighting follows the "Three rounds rapid" method I stole from Ravager Zero. Basically, you all need to send me a PM containing three actions you want to try and perform in this fight. These can be anything from physical attacks, to spells, to attempts at diplomacy or animal taming. I will then work out how effective your actions are, as well as the actions of your enemies and I will post them in a big fight scene. If the fight hasn't finished by this point I'll ask for another round of actions.

Questions?

oh quick question will you wait to recieve all pms before posting action or in turns of who posts first? because trying to talk to the things would be useless if everyone else is attacking so i would like to know in that regard

I'll wait until I have all the PMs, then post them in a realistic order. Hang on, here's an example of some combat actions based on the show:

Spoiler
Twilight Sparkle:
1) meditate
2) use additional power from meditation to incinerate everything (unless friends are too close)
3) charge with friends

Applejack:
1) grapple attack
2) Charge with friends
3) buck in face

Pinkie Pie:
1) prepare party offscreen
2) charge with friends
3) copy everyone else

Rainbow Dash:
1) mini tornado attack
2) charge with friends
3) distract it while others flee

Rarity:
1) Kick in face
2) Charge with friends
3) run away

Fluttershy:
1) try to befriend it
2) try harder to befriend it
3) it's going to LOVE ME!
As you can see, Fluttershy's second attempt was successful (no one listened to the first), so the combat ended there.

I was still waiting for Walrus man to send me his actions. Since he still hasn't done that yet I'm going to just guess what he'll do and hopefully get the fight up at some point today.

Enjoy your violence! I'll let you make fun of each other over lunch or whatever, then let you continue.

While I was sorting this a few points came up:

1) In the show timberwolves were able to rebuild themselves. That is still true, but I've decided that it usually takes a while. If you bury their remains (either because one of you knows about timberwolves for some reason, or because you see one of them moving) you won't have a problem.

2) I'm imposing a seven day time limit on actions in future fights. If you don't send me anything in that time, I'll just make something up like I did for Pale Ale in this fight.

They don't actually have to post anything if they can't think of anything interesting to say (although I thought Patent would want to boast). I would have posted more story by now if I hadn't been busy with uni work the last few days. I'll try and post something new today or tomorrow.

Not much has happened this time. Now you can either stay where you are (and risk a random encounter) or check out the ruins (and risk either a random encounter, a pointless sidequest, a useful part of the story or some nice loot. Or maybe even all four. Who knows...)

By the way, are you still following this Walrus Man? I haven't heard from you in a while.

Well, aside from minor additions (like me assuming that some ponies would be mad enough to try and worship Discord) this is following the shows canon. Since this RP is set over 1000 years before the end of the show and I mentioned the princesses defeating him... Yeah he's a statue, and will be for the duration. No, that statue you've found isn't him, it's just an idol made by his worshippers (who probably all met a gruesome, ironic and/or hilarious end)

I'm sorry for the delay, I had a load of coursework to get done. Now on to the next story post.

You've probably guessed that something weird is going on, but I'm sorry to say your characters aren't thinking straight and probably haven't. If you want your character to become suspicious about any of this, you will have to make an Intelligence test (roll equal to or under you (I) on a d20). If you fail, make a post anyway based on how your character is feeling. I might reward good roleplaying.

Oh, Plumber and Thunder? You've gone more nuts than the other two, so your Intelligence gets a -1 penalty for this test. Enjoy.


Here's a good dice roller for your tests. (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/)

Hmmm... I'll leave it up to you. As long as nothing useful comes of it.

Incidentally, while you can't discuss it in character until you realise something's wrong, you can and probably should try to figure out what's going on, why it's happening and how you're going to deal with it. Feel free to trade theories in this thread if you want.

As for what's going on; I'd guess that leftover chaos magic is present in the building, having not yet disappeared or faded away since Discord was in power.
Either that, or a voodoo pony.

I took the liberty of rolling an Agility check where it seemed appropriate. (It's pretty obvious what for,) and got a 19. If I'm not supposed to add checks like that let me know and I'll remove it.

Throwing extra bits like that in is not only allowed, it's encouraged. Having said that, most rolls follow the following format unless I say otherwise:

QuoteStat checks are made by rolling under your stat on a d20, with various modifiers applying. A further d20 is then rolled to determine how successful (or otherwise) it was. This can mean that the action works, but does nothing useful, or everything goes fine, or that whatever you were doing goes horribly well (tries to move a rock; causes avalanche).
You failed your agility test with a 19, no problems there. You should then roll a second d20 to determine how unpleasant the consequences were (high scores being better).

I made the second roll for you. (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4047469/) You got a 6, which, by luck, I probably would have interpreted as you crashing into a wall and being somewhat dazed by it :derp:. Since that's exactly what you wrote anyway, you don't need to do anything. Wait for at least one more character to make a post then feel free to roll again. And try not to fail, you already crashed twice in this campaign :D

Is it the spell where I start bludgeoning myself to death, or where I start killing my comrades before bludgeoning myself to death?

(I.e.-do i go for my weapons or start ramming myself against a wall?)

How Patent reacts is entirely up to you. For the intelligence test I'm making everyone do you don't need a second dice roll, I'm letting you decide how a sudden bout of depression would affect your character. This is one of those situations where you don't use the normal dice rolls.

Having said that, any subsequent actions like trying to flee, commiting suicide or attacking everyone else do require the usual method I mentioned earlier. Sorry for any confusion.

Also, why am I still online at 2:30am?

Quotefor the love of Celestia, please stop Patent offing himself-playing a racist for the first time has been too fun

You're the one that decided he would become suicidal. I just made him depressed ;)

Don't worry, even if the others don't snap out of it in time to stop you, I'll roll to determine how badly you hurt yourself. Odds of death are very low. You might knock yourself out though.

Incidentally, I randomly determined who would get what emotion, and I had to re-roll for Patent. Mostly because I put down every emotion I could think of and I couldn't figure out how to write him under the influence of lust, which he rolled first.

First up, all stat checks are made by rolling equal to or under your stat, so you failed you intelligence test unless you have an intelligence of 17 :P. As for the second roll, it isn't required here. This is the quote from earlier:

To be honest, having low dice rolls be good for stat checks while high rolls are good for everything else is probably a bad idea :-\. I won't change the rules right now, but if you feel it's unnecessarily confusing I might change them once you've finished at the temple. Thoughts?



One more thing. If one of you does realise somethings up (passing their test) and they try to tell the others, it will give everyone else a +3 bonus to their subsequent intelligence tests. Working out that something is wrong is easier when someone is telling you so. Also, passing the test doesn't get rid of the emotion, you just realise it's unnatural. You'll still feel happy/afraid/sad, although it will be easier to ignore.

Nope. The only time that a low roll is good is in stat checks (the first of the two rolls). Like I said, I think that was a mistake. Once we finish this little section I'll revise the rules to make them simpler.

 :facepalm001: Six failed intelligence tests? I'd like to congratulate you all on somehow offending the RNG (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/RandomNumberGod) so thoroughly.

Right. First of all, since you are all crashing into each other and acting crazy, I'm removing the -1 modifiers from Plumber and Thunder. Second, all of you get a +1 modifier on top of that. If you still fail, your character must do something stupid (previously I left it up to you; now I'm removing that choice) like attempting to flee into a monster infested forest, or commit suicide.

In addition, if you're bored of your current emotion,  I'll let you re-roll. Simply roll a d6 (before rolling your intelligence test) and see what you get:

1) joy
2) lust
3) anger
4) jealousy
5) depression
6) fear

Wow. Dice hate you guys. You are in fact fully unconscious, for a currently unspecified amount of time (at least an hour, I'm afraid). On the plus side, you can't hurt yourself any more in your sleep.

I did my bit, it's your turn now :P.

Something for you all to think about: ponies sing a lot in the show. If a situation seems appropriate, you could have your character's continue this fine tradtion. Spontaneous choreography (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpontaneousChoreography) would be in effect, so you could even take control of other characters for the duration of the song.

Since Walrus Man and Minrat are taking so long (18 days and 21 days respectitively since their last in-character posts), I say go for it. No double posting, but otherwise post whatever you want until further notice. If they don't post within a week I'll consider taking over their characters (I'll send a PM in case they miss this post).

I forgot that you were unconscious :P. Techically you shouldn't wake up for at least an hour without outside assistance. Theoretically that means proper medical attention, but I think I should go with rule of funny and let Plumber wake you up on this occasion. KoM can write about doing... something to Thunder, you can write about waking up because of it. Bear in mind that you still be concussed, and while you still get to make an intelligence test, that will give you a -4 penalty.

Oh, and I'll let you have the re-rolls, since you've already had (very bad) experiences with fear.

You have no real choice but to double post (Thunder being currently unconcious) so go ahead, just see what I said to Waaaghpower above. As for age rating... I am willing to let you write whatever you are comfortable with as long as there's nothing explicit. I believe a teen rating (rated 15 in film terms) would be appropriate.

Post is going to go up in a few moments please do note that given the incredible failure on my intelligence test elements of the post are delusions/hallucinations/tricks of the mind pretty much anything Thunder does in my post is delusions brought about by the magic of this place. So yeah this should prove interesting. If anyone's interested I can share some of the more completely off the wall options I juggled around before resting on this one for how to react  :P so yeah waaaghpower I guess you get to wake up to that...

I rolled a 5. So I barely passed, even though I'm concussed. Then I rolled a 2.
You have got to be kidding me. While concussed I finally passed a test... and then accomplished nothing. For Celestia's sake...

nice what was the second roll for anyway.. The 2? either way reply upcoming in the next few minutes brain is on the case [edit] not even bothering with an intell roll before this one I don't think plumber's brain is really getting used much during this interaction  :P
[edit 2] does the pychological effects wear off if we manage to leave the temple area itself or does it linger? if it wears off and plumber and thunder leave that could have some very amusing effects  :P

Roll once to see if you pass, then twice to see how successful. I passed, but a 2 is the second worst roll to determine success.

I'm kind of enjoying being the comic relief however also intrested to see what transpires next and hoping pale ale and patent pending show up again  :-\ [edit] at this point you could probobly tell Plumber's Crack to find a bridge to jump off and he would if he didn't snap out of the spell of the temple first

/me reads what Thunder and Plumber have gotten up to since I went to sleep last night.

BAHAHAHAHAAA!!! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zSHz7Thvbc)

Beautiful. My only complaint is Plumber vomitting at the end (because vomitting is gross) but if you want him to throw up that's your choice. Otherwise I was laughing my head off through reading that ;D. Congratulations on finally passing your intelligence tests :P

Now then, aftermath. Thunder, you should find a safe place to go before you pass out. Sorry, but your character is still hurt from all your other crashes and the only reason I let you wake up was for comedic purposes and to avoid being raped in your sleep. May I reccommend a passing cloud?

Plumber, you've worked out that you're all having your minds messed with, so no further rolls are required from you. Having said that, you should probably try and snap the other two out of it as well (or you could go after Thunder, but she'll probably be asleep again before you reach her, if you find her at all). Something to bear in mind, the spell isn't gone, you just know it's there. That makes it easier to resist it (as does Thunder flying off), but you're still feeling lustful. Please don't post anything for  couple of days though, I'd like to see if the others show up.

It does wear off; not instantly, but quite quickly. I also toyed with the idea that if Plumber and Thunder never managed to pass your tests you could have sex, fall asleep and wake up the next morning, snuggled very closely together with the spell having completely worn off as your activities used up the last of the magic keeping it powered. Hilarity ensues.

I toyed with the idea of having Plumber so confused by his failed tests that he mistook the discord statue for thunder in his delirious state and tried to mount that instead  :P also toyed with trying to work the line "is that a wrench in your toolbelt poking me or are you that happy to see me?" in there somewhere.

keyword being almost I was worried about total loss of function or swelling to the point of cutting off proper circulation... you know when you open a peanut shell and one of them is all shriveled up and black in the corner of the shell and you just throw that peanut away think about that.... anyway Plumber's about the equivalent of  24... only.... 7 years difference  :shifty: DISCORD MADE ME DO IT runs away to hide from the royal guards

And another pony passes an Intelligence test!

Fair enough. I finished uni a few weeks ago, so I don't have that problem.

Incidentally, can you spoiler tag out of character moments when you make posts in the RP thread? It makes them easier to read. Also:
QuotePale suddenly didnt care about life, death, or the reason he couldn't figure out which he wanted....all he wanted to do now was find Plumber and spend as much time with him as possible...
Did you just take Pale and make him homosexual? I assume that was a typo.

Minrat, is Patent actually a coltcuddler (it's possible that I know too many fanterms from reading too much fanfiction) or is it just the spell talking? I doubt I'll ever need to know one way or another, but any trivia about any of the PCs is potentially useful.

I'd pick a different term since colt also implies a young age so it could be taken similarly to filly-fiddler. If you do want some more background I can bang out some of the stuff I've got in my head for you for background information. Story post upcoming in a bit

The terms boyfriend/girlfriend don't have negative connotations, so I don't see them as sounding particularly unpleasant. I guess it's just a matter of opinion.

I'm always happy to hear backgroud stuff. PM it to me if you don't want to post it here for whatever reason. Don't feel forced to pad out your character though. Any extra info is optional.

Right. That's why he tried to molest an underage pony and she had to kick him in the crotch to escape. Right...

because you chose to drink Plumber didn't choose to be enchanted by a discordian hex. I mean if you want to think he's a filly fiddler fine rp it that way... I'd prefer you didn't because you might end up getting him gelded by the constabulary or something  :P.... Dammit I wish the others would hurry up and post something I want out of this temple.

I find it quite amusing that you all seem incapable of leaving the building without hurting yourselves. At least Plumber appears sane enough to try calmly walking out (which would not require an agility test). As it is, you've done more damage to yourselves by tripping and crashing into things than the timberwolves managed :facepalm001:.

Oh, I've arbitrarily decided that there is a stream running past the temple, mostly because two of you are covered in vomit and it's gross.

Pale Ale's lawyers would like to inform you that neither Pale Ale, nor the extended Ale family or any of it's affiliated businesses condone the act of underage drinking, even if it is hilarious.

If you haven't dealt with this situation in a week or so I'll probably do a story post to try and break the endless cycle of slapstick you've managed to get stuck in (despite how hilarious it is).

Your ordeal is over, you are about 20 metres from the temple (the spell is no longer affecting you) and you won't be attacked tonight (most animals know to stay away from that building). You've had a long day and an unusual evening, so I doubt any of you will wake until 10-11am (especially Thunder, she shouldn't wake first with that concussion). Enjoy a very awkward conversation in the morning.

If you're bored you can always go back in... There's always multiple options for dealing with a situation.

Any of you ever read "DM of the Ring" or "Darths and Droids"? Because I just found this (http://friendshipisdragons.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/) webcomic that follows the same lines; retell an existing story by pretending all the characters are dungeons and dragons players and the story is an RP. Check it out if you're bored.

Walrus, you didn't actually need an intelligence test to look around ;). As for the campsite, the only thing more interesting than trees is the stream running past the temple and into the forest. The nearest part of it is about 8 metres away, and you'll be pleased to hear that you will not have to go near the temple to reach it.

You can either double post about you refreshing yourself in the stream or just let everyone else assume that's what your doing when they wake up.

Hello everyone! Behold, a character sheet!

Name: Backlash

Pony Type: Pegasus (F)

Stats:

S: 5+1=6
E: 5+1=6
A: 5+4=9
M: 5+8=13
I: 5+6=11

Cutie Mark:

A black sun, like so:

Spoiler
(http://imgur.com/kr8CEHf.png)

The black sun grants Backlash no powers which she can control. However, she gains a boost to strength and endurance when there is vengeance to be had. E.g. if an ally is wounded in battle, she will go into a fury to kill their attacker. However, this applies in reverse as well: if she attacks or damages something or someone without provocation she becomes depressed and loses stats proportional to the damage done.

Background:

As a result of Backlash's peculiar condition, she is generally a pacifist, preferring to sneak, fly, or run around enemies instead of fighting. She will actively avoid confrontation, whether physical or verbal, and do anything in her power to escape when conflict is presented. As such, she holds little faith in words, and will casually lie when she feels doing so will avoid conflict.

That said, she does what she can to help anyone in need. She is perky, excitable, and always seeking things to keep herself entertained. She possesses only basic healing and mechanical skills, but her willingness and ease with learning make her a promising candidate for healer or mechanic.

In addition, she feels at home in darkness and in stormy weather. The opposite is true for bright, clear weather.

Pictures, one is colored via Pony Creator but has less detail; the other is a pencil drawing but more indicative of character (I feel, anyway).

Colored:
http://i.imgur.com/wtq8EfJ.png (http://i.imgur.com/wtq8EfJ.png)

Pencil:
http://i.imgur.com/vajgO2R.jpg (http://i.imgur.com/vajgO2R.jpg)

Items:
Her armor consists of steel-studded leather body armor; one piece covering her flanks and back, the other covering her chest, with leather straps connecting the individual pieces. Her hooves are protected by simple iron boots with leather soles and padded on the inside with cloth, excepting her left front hoof, which has only a leather sandal protecting it. Her right front boot has a socket in the middle of the bottom of the hoof for her weapon.

Her standard weapon is a boot-mounted rapier. It is shaped such that it appears to protrude directly from the bottom of her boot when in use, and is slightly shorter than a pony's body. When not in use, she can detach it from her boot and slide it along the straps on her left side.

She possesses the handle of her rapier, but it is only useful when she is unarmored, so she keeps the handle in a sewn pouch on her chest. She also keeps two basic healing poultices and a roll of woven fibers (serving as gauze) in her pouch, thanks to her knowledge of natural remedies gained from living in the wilderness.

Due to the weight of her armor and her unusually small wings, she cannot fly while armored, and is slower than most pegasi when flying unarmored.

Welcome to the game! I've added you to the summary sheet on the first page (as well as our other new character, Anatalia Rose. PrimeNumber will hopefully post here soon too). I will try and put up a story post introducing the two of you either today or tomorrow. You will start in Canterlot, so the two groups won't meet each other for a while.

Magic Power (M):5
Intelligence (I):11

Mark: A rose with what looks like an iron stem and bronze petals (Blacksmith)

Name: Anatalia Rose

Description: http://imgur.com/cVxH9 for colours and mane and stuff, she is smaller than average for a ground pony, very jumpy, somewhat reserved and clumsy.

Bio: Anna was born in a rich Canterlot family, which sent her to fancy schools thinking she'd become a doctor or something, but no, she became a blacksmith. Now, she runs a little shop in the market district, slowly getting reputation for her traditional methods and her very skillful detail work. Although mostly an ornamental worker, she can make mostly anything, with enough steel and time.

Inventory: Not much, her old saddlebags were pretty much empty apart from a few snacks and her bits when the guards came over.

...and you're in! Hazy Image is my own character, whom you can now see as my avatar. His job will mostly be exposition for the time being and he wont be around for the entire story, since you lot are meant to be the main characters, not my blatant self-insert. I wouldn't have included him at all, but I needed someone to explain the situation and I didn't want to have to rely on Backlash.

That's debatable. Magic has a physical form in the show, it could be that it had a physical form in this time too. I'm going with the assumption that it vanished when Luna and Celestia fought, thus breaking the magical bonds of friendship between them. Since this is set some time before Luna's banishment, Magic is still in it's corporeal form.

The history books in the show specifically show that they only knew of five elements and used them for the banishment. It's not a huge deal, but unless Celestia just straight-up forgot what the sixth element was by the first episode, it's assumed they only had five.

The sixth one was pretty much a legend until Twilight "activated" it. there were 5 in the times of the princesses, the sixth one happened in S1EP2.

I figured Celestia knew about the sixth element but didn't tell anyone, because if Twilight knew that the elements could only be activated by the magic of friendship she would have tried to make friends out of a sense of duty, which probably wouldn't work.

The problem is that twilight didn't make the sixth one happen yet, Celestia knows about it for sure, but she doesn't happen to carry the power of friendship, the element is still in another plane of existence is what I'm trying to say

This. Regardless of whether Celestia knew about its theoretical existence or not, it had no tangible form.

Well, as fun as debating the show is, the nature of the elements isn't actually relevant to this RP (I'd like to see you lot try and use them ;)). I'll end this debate with a video of someone who's thought a huge amount about this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hBZWwehWEwQ). For the purposes of this RP, it doesn't matter if there are five elements or six. I'll probably change it in a minute.

Incidentally, when I started typing this there were five members online including me. All of us were apparantly posting in the threads for this RP. I found that amusing.

Plumber's Crack, the Element of Clumsiness!
Thunder Bolt, the Element of Bitchiness!
Backlash, the Element of Insanity!
Anatalia Rose, the Element of Apathy!
Patent Pending, the Element of Racism!

If I'd known before I started the RP that something like this would happen... I wouldn't change a thing. I'm even considering not throwing a random encounter at you for running loudly through the Everfree because this is more fun ;). We'll see.

I imagine Thunder's fast enough to catch Plumber fairly easily, so King, you should probably make a post about being chased by Thunder. Once that's done, Thunder can auto-catch him in whatever manner you want. I promise not to interrupt what is sure to be an amusing scene.




Hector, you are not forgotten. I'm a little busy at the moment, but hopefully I'll post something this evening to get us properly started.

that was pretty much the first and second thing to come to mind Thunder should be able to catch up to him really fast he's out of breath from crying and not exactly in running shape I think he probably would have ran even without the knife... but not been terrified enough to wet himself  :facepalm001: roleplaying mental breakdowns is fun :P [edit] are you sure Thunder's special talent isn't being terrifying she scared a pony almost twice her size so bad he peed on himself >.>

Story! Hector and Prime, feel up to some breaking and entering?

As for the rest of you, three rounds rapid time. I said I was considering not throwing a fight at you, and eventually left it to chance. 50/50 chance of a monster, you rolled a cockatrice. If you were wondering the other possibilities were a manticore, more timberwolves, enchanted trees or a giant crab.

By the way, Pale and Patent have to get there so depending on their rolls they might not get their third action.

Sorry about the impatient gif up there. I tend to forget that other people have lives outside of MLP roleplaying...

Thanks for letting me know about PrimeNumbers. I suppose it's a good thing Rose is so nervous; it gives me an excuse to give her something relatively simple to do while PN's away.

I've arbitrarily decided that Backlash outranks Hazy, mostly so this doesn't turn into me ordering you around. Of course, she only just outrank him, he has more knowledge on the mission and she has been receiving orders directly from Princess Luna, so your authority isn't absolute.

Somehow it never occurred to me to send you in without Hazy. Not sure why it didn't, as it's actually a good idea, since it means you'll have more fun and I'll have an easier time keeping track of personal pronouns (I nearly referred to my own character as a 'she' a few minutes ago :P).

Also I just noticed:

A simple map of the warehouse interior. I haven't noted down where the various crates and the like are since you wont know that until you get inside.
Warehouse map and key

(http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2013/187/3/4/warehouse_layout_by_mabbz-d6c7igz.png)
Key:
1) Main entrance
2) Storage areas (full of crates, boxes sacks etc.)
3) Offices
4) Entrance to lower office
5) Staircase and entrance to upper office

Oh, since I forgot to mark it on, the fire escape is directly opposite the other door in the upper office.

So this 3 rounds rapid time, how does that work? I'm not very familiar with it.

Have a couple of quotes from just before the timberwolf fight:

Quote from: Mabbz on March 24, 2013, 10:40:59 AM
Get ready for your first fight scene. There are four timberwolves.

Fighting follows the "Three rounds rapid" method I stole from Ravager Zero. Basically, you all need to send me a PM containing three actions you want to try and perform in this fight. These can be anything from physical attacks, to spells, to attempts at diplomacy or animal taming. I will then work out how effective your actions are, as well as the actions of your enemies and I will post them in a big fight scene. If the fight hasn't finished by this point I'll ask for another round of actions.

oh quick question will you wait to recieve all pms before posting action or in turns of who posts first? because trying to talk to the things would be useless if everyone else is attacking so i would like to know in that regard
I'll wait until I have all the PMs, then post them in a realistic order. Hang on, here's an example of some combat actions based on the show:

Spoiler
Twilight Sparkle:
1) meditate
2) use additional power from meditation to incinerate everything (unless friends are too close)
3) charge with friends

Applejack:
1) grapple attack
2) Charge with friends
3) buck in face

Pinkie Pie:
1) prepare party offscreen
2) charge with friends
3) copy everyone else

Rainbow Dash:
1) mini tornado attack
2) charge with friends
3) distract it while others flee

Rarity:
1) Kick in face
2) Charge with friends
3) run away

Fluttershy:
1) try to befriend it
2) try harder to befriend it
3) it's going to LOVE ME!
As you can see, Fluttershy's second attempt was successful (no one listened to the first), so the combat ended there.

You keep saying 'them' in the RP post - I'd really rather not drag an NPC earth pony around with me, seeing as how I can barely fly myself. Not sure if that was another pronoun mishap.

No, I'd run out too fast. Just whenever I find myself saying 'Mabbz.' I guess you get a complimentary one for that: GLORIOUS PC GAMING MABBZ-STER RACE:

Since PrimeNumber isn't around, you can sideline Rose if you want. Just have her do some minor job like stand in the street and give a signal if someone's coming. Alternatively send her to watch one of the enemy hideouts. I'm leaving what she does up to you.

So this 3 rounds rapid time, how does that work? I'm not very familiar with it.
Have a couple of quotes from just before the timberwolf fight:

Quote from: Mabbz on March 24, 2013, 10:40:59 AM
Get ready for your first fight scene. There are four timberwolves.

Fighting follows the "Three rounds rapid" method I stole from Ravager Zero. Basically, you all need to send me a PM containing three actions you want to try and perform in this fight. These can be anything from physical attacks, to spells, to attempts at diplomacy or animal taming. I will then work out how effective your actions are, as well as the actions of your enemies and I will post them in a big fight scene. If the fight hasn't finished by this point I'll ask for another round of actions.

oh quick question will you wait to recieve all pms before posting action or in turns of who posts first? because trying to talk to the things would be useless if everyone else is attacking so i would like to know in that regard
I'll wait until I have all the PMs, then post them in a realistic order. Hang on, here's an example of some combat actions based on the show:

Spoiler
Twilight Sparkle:
1) meditate
2) use additional power from meditation to incinerate everything (unless friends are too close)
3) charge with friends

Applejack:
1) grapple attack
2) Charge with friends
3) buck in face

Pinkie Pie:
1) prepare party offscreen
2) charge with friends
3) copy everyone else

Rainbow Dash:
1) mini tornado attack
2) charge with friends
3) distract it while others flee

Rarity:
1) Kick in face
2) Charge with friends
3) run away

Fluttershy:
1) try to befriend it
2) try harder to befriend it
3) it's going to LOVE ME!
As you can see, Fluttershy's second attempt was successful (no one listened to the first), so the combat ended there.

Gotcha, thanks.

Well, that was impressive. Aside from Plumber's stumble, everyone rolled well for their attacks. Unfortunately that includes the cockatrice. Thunder is fairly badly hurt and while a bandage will keep her alive, she is suffering from blood loss, shock and a concussion. Walking (or even staying conscious) could prove difficult. On the other hand, Plumber will be able to walk - albeit slowly - once his leg is bandaged.

Hector, I don't think Backlash would know much about picking locks since I doubt it's in standard guard training and her backstory doesn't justify it. Despite this, you need to figure out a way in, preferrably something subtle. Of course, if you can't think of anything then you can always use a rock, but a more creative approach would be less likely to backfire.

My first thought was: where did you get a leather sandal? I'll let you off for that though, it's hardly a game breaker. My second thought was: what would a pony's sandal even look like? Somehow, I can't picture it. But whatever, not important.

What is important is that a leather sandal would most likely be quite flimsy. Using it to open a fairly heavy window whilst flying means some pretty bad modifiers. I'd say a strength test at -4. So you needed a 1 or a 2 on a d20 to succeed, followed by a further d20 to see how badly you failed (or how well you succeeded, I suppose). You can roll dice here, (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/) be sure to post a link to the result along with your RP post.

You won't die (assuming someone bandages you up within the next half an hour). You're not even unconscious, just in pain and rather light-headed. You could even be delirious if you want.

Her hooves are protected by simple iron boots with leather soles and padded on the inside with cloth, excepting her left front hoof, which has only a leather sandal protecting it.

That was from my character sheet on page 15. The rest of her armor is obviously too big to carry around with her, but the sandal can be folded or rolled into a ball and kept in her pouch.

Furthermore, the sandals look sort of like this, but without the spikes and naturally without the rest of the armor. Just take the leg bits and you'll have a pretty solid idea of what it looks like:

I can't believe you'd assume such poor craftsponyship from Backlash... I am shocked, sir, shocked and appalled! But you're right, leather is kind of a crap material when it comes to load-bearing.

A natural 20 means means that your attempt, while not going the way you intended, still went very well. It means that somehow, you managed to get into the warehouse, but not by levering the window open. How that works I'll leave up to you.

Just out of curiosity - is a natural 20 always a success and a natural 1 always a fail? So, in Thunder's case, the nut-kick would be incredibly powerful? I only ask because the die rolls can be a bit backwards sometimes, and I'd like to get some established rules down for 20s and 1s.

Post by: Waaaghpower on July 16, 2013, 04:58:45 PM
You want to roll low when checking for success. (If your strength is, say, 4, you need to roll 4 or lower.) The second roll determines effectiveness and that's when you want to roll high. I just wanted to see if it was strong at all though, so I only rolled the once.

Waaaghpower is correct. I will also add that a nat 1 is an auto pass and a nat 20 is an auto fail on the first dice. Having said that, you probably still should have rolled the second dice for those tests. Don't worry about it though.

You keep on accidentally attacking him for no reason, and I find this amusing. You know what else would be amusing considering the location? Interpreting that failed strength test as Thunder being able to do nothing more powerful than a caress :o. I'll leave that up to you ;).

Well, that could have gone better. Backlash is hidden for the moment, but you might want to come up with a plan.

As for Rose, you have a few choices. You can try and fight your way out, which will be tricky considering your current situation. You can try and talk your way out, which will require good roleplaying and a failed intelligence test for Cloud Storage to work. Or you can surrender, and wait for a better opportunity. Or do anything else you can think of.

I'm not sure if Backlash needed a second roll to figure out how to throw her voice, but I rolled for INT because it's a fairly simple trick if reasoned out but not one I would have expected her to know already.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on July 21, 2013, 09:05:00 PM
There's a pretty big difference between working out how to do something and getting it right first time. Normally that'd mean a significant penalty for the test, probably -6. Since you passed anyway, that means you pulled off the throwing your voice. It doesn't mean you escape however, as first I'm going to test to see if Fog Dancer falls for it, then I'll roll some agility tests for escaping. I'll post that now.

Oh, it's nice to be able to say this to someone else by the way: you got a gender wrong ;). Fog Dancer is female.

Post by: Mabbz on July 22, 2013, 01:39:57 AM
I briefly thought about asking you if you were sure about your escape plan, but I figured it was possible that Backlash didn't realise the door would still be locked. In the end I just gave her a generous modifier for working it out (if I hadn't given her the modifier, she wouldn't have realised the door was still locked until she tried to open it).

It's 2:25am here, so I'm not going to try and come up with Dancer's reaction to finding you supposedly cowering in fear. That kind of roleplaying can wait until morning. Plus it hopefully lets Prime contribute.

Out of idle curiosity is Backlash a lesbian? I'm assuming so, since Playcolt magazine is the equivalent of Playboy magazine and I'm fairly sure that's aimed at men (I've never actually seen one). If she is (or even if she's not), I dare you to try and flirt your way out ;). I can tell you now you have a better chance of fighting your way out, but this ways more fun.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: HectorSmash on July 22, 2013, 02:22:28 AM
I didn't particularly feel like explicitly setting up her sexuality in her backstory, because she's supposed to be chaotic. Whatever works, works, and she doesn't question it. Playcolt's probably pretty high-quality anyway. Sexuality is just another one of those things - like words - that can be used to her advantage. It's not set in stone at all.

I'm not sure if I'm going to try and flirt my way out. On one hand it would be hilarious, on the other I don't think Backlash would actually do that. We'll see tomorrow...

Since I have control of Pale temporarily, I used him to try and move group 1 (as I have decided to call you) on a bit. It might be a good idea to do something with Plumber's leg and Thunder will need at least a few hours rest before she's fit to walk, but in theory you could be out of the forest by noon (if you can figure out how to move Thunder).

I haven't posted anything for group 2 yet, as I want to check something with Prime first. I apologise for the delay, I hope it won't last too long.

In the meantime, I'm thinking of making some artwork for this. I was thinking a picture of group one fighting timberwolves or some kind of movie poster, but I'm open to suggestions.

No, but the reason you aren't walking right now is because you are exhausted from the fight, mildly concussed and light-headed from blood loss. You probably could walk, but you'd be weaving all over the place and fall over a lot. Not ideal when you have a good few hours walk to reach the edge of the forest. Flying would probably be even worse.

As a rule, bluffing depends on the intelligence of the character you are trying to fool. The dice roll was an intelligence test and the 10 was a failure in this case (modifiers were involved).

Sure, we'll go with that :shifty:

/me reads Hector's latest RP post.

So, to be clear: you are attempting to trick a pony clever enough to be involved in the theft of arguably the most valuable items in the world from some of the most powerful creatures in the world by claiming to be so obsessed with a softcore porn magazine that you broke into a warehouse to get it? And your effectively also claiming to have somehow convinced somepony else to help you with that? I think I'll have to roll some more bluff checks probably with something like a -100 modifier for ridiculousness and a +100 modifier for being so stupid that no one would ever try to lie about it. I'll post something when I work out the exact rolls I'm going to have to do.

Also I'd rather wait to see if Anna has something to say at this point (or just stares in disbelief; you can post in character without actually having your character do something). If PrimeNumber doesn't post in the next day or so I'll assume he's not going to.

Neither did I. That said, the "no one would be that nuts" approach would probably be quite effective when used on someone that's worried about being caught by the royal guard. Maybe Backlash actually is sane, if slightly unorthodox.

Your mission is complete. It wasn't a stunning success, but it wasn't a complete failure. While you somehow managed to bluff your way out of the situation, you didn't get any particularly useful information either, aside from the contents of the diary (which is written in shorthoof and might have something helpful in it, or it might be useless. Hazy might be able to tell you more). All things considered, that could have gone a whole lot worse.

Also I just realized that the three NPC's I've introduced so far (Cloud, Fog and Hazy) all seem to be following a theme with there names names. Weird.

I didn't particularly feel like explicitly setting up her sexuality in her backstory, because she's supposed to be chaotic. Whatever works, works, and she doesn't question it. Playcolt's probably pretty high-quality anyway. Sexuality is just another one of those things - like words - that can be used to her advantage. It's not set in stone at all.

I'm not sure if I'm going to try and flirt my way out. On one hand it would be hilarious, on the other I don't think Backlash would actually do that. We'll see tomorrow...

Well, Pale hasn't posted yet but with Thunder practically falling asleep I guess that's a majority for staying still. Set up camp and I'll do you a story post to get you on your way. Canterlot (and a non-split party) awaits.

Backlash and Anna have about an hour or so to wait until Hazy gets back, so I'll hold off posting anything for you until I write the story post for the other group, mostly in case Backlash wants to react to Anna locking herself in a room. Or she could just read her new magazine while she waits, either way is good.

Post by: Mabbz on August 05, 2013, 10:23:13 PM
I figured I'd give a small update so we aren't focusing solely on Backlash and Anna. Hazy is there if you want to include him, but he's happy to let Backlash talk with Anna (partly because he isn't great at socialising and partly because your the players so I figured it'd be better to let you resolve this rather than having an NPC try it). Include him or ignore him at your discretion.

Incidentally Prime, how much you heard of Hazy and Backlash's discussion is up to you. Whatever you can work with best.

As for the other group, I know this is another uneventful post for you, I've left it here because your group is already about 6 hours ahead of the other two (for team Everfree it's around sunset, while for the Canterlot Duo it's closer to noon). You can either use this post for socialising, or if you have nothing to say to each other you can just wait for my next post. I'm afraid I have to go slow for you so I can sync up your time with that of the others.

I have the vast majority of my posts (that is, any post with rolls, or more than about 5 lines) saved in a word document, as well as the ruled and a character sheet with all PC info except bios and pictures. That's enough for me to write a summary at least in the event of a crash.

Come to think of it, at the begining I said I might edit this whole thing into a proper story and post it on fimfiction.net, didn't I? If I do that then restoring lost parts of the RP would simply mean copy-pasting from there.

2S does have a backup server (http://ssphere.sorck.net/ (http://ssphere.sorck.net/)), but it's about a month behind us in terms of posts so we can't really RP there (Sorck is trying to get a better backup system in place). I do check it when the forum is down though, so you can reach me there if you need to. There's also the facebook group, which is useful for finding out what the problem is and when it's likely to be fixed.

PrimeNumber, Hazy is going to try and decrypt the diary (which may take an hour or two), and then leave to find Backlash. If Anna doesn't come out before he goes, he'll leave her at the safe house. If she wants to leave the room, she'll have to do so of her own initiative; Hazy's not going to check on her before leaving. If she decides to stay, let me know here so I can move the story along. I don't want to accidentally rob you of the chance to post.

Oh, and just a reminder that you can post without performing any actions or dialogue. A quick peek into Anna's thoughts right now could be interesting, if your up to it :) :)

Hazy is a unicorn, Cloud Storage is an earth pony and Fog Dancer is a pegasus. You haven't actually been told about the latter two yet, but if you want to put something like "Hazy quickly summarized everything that they had done so far" then that's fine. As a friendly NPC, you are allowed to make Hazy perform minor tasks like that without asking.

As it is, everypony is coming into the mines except possibly Rose. Prime, I originally said you were going back because 1) I assumed that's what she would do in this situation and 2) she could show the others the way to the safe house. If you wan't to stick around for this mission, let me know either in character or out. Otherwise I'll assume you left.

I'll leave it for a little while to make sure everyone has a chance to choose, then I'll make a post in which Backlash returns and we enter the mines. I'll probably have the groups fill each other in en route to the mine entrance, so everypony will know everything that's happened so far. I won't go into details in my post so if you want to know anything specific (either because you've forgotten and can't find the info or because your character hasn't had the opportunity to say anything until now), just ask either here or in character.

Ah Hazy, it was all supposed to be simple. Gather a team with the required talents, get the job done. How did it get so complex so fast?

Yes, it is possible that I'm projecting a bit here. I can't fault any of you for roleplaying but I'm having difficulty determining if this RP is fun when some of the characters are so unhappy. Somehow I seem to be running the most dysfunctional My Little Pony based RP ever, and I'm worried that I'm doing something wrong. As such I have to ask: is there anything you think I could do to improve Dusk and Dawn?

Also, how did I only just notice that Dusk and Dawn abbreviated is D&D ::)?

Basically, I didn't want the hassle of coming up with prices for everything, so I'm giving you unlimited funds on the condition that you don't go overboard and can justify whatever you want to buy. Restocking on bandages and buying new weapons is fine, but trying to buy a million crossbow bolts or Princess Celestia's personal enchanted warhammer Sunbringer is not.

I could give you a set amount of money and price everything, but I don't want shopping to clog up this RP.

Ok. Well, I'm going to arbitrarily decide that the drinking age isn't strictly enforced in Equestria. As a rule, a young pony can drink if their parents let them, almost regardless of age. Taverns won't serve ponies under 18 usually, but it's mostly because they don't want angry parents yelling at them so they have no problem with adults buying drinks for younger ponies. To be honest, at 17 Thunder would probably get served unless she looks particularly young or troublesome.

For the record, I'm not going to bring myself back to the group - I'll leave that to Mabbzdark/Hazy.

Just in case you guys cared about me which I'm pretty sure you don't at least not at this particular moment but maybe in general so yeah there we go
That was basically what I had planned anyway. Unfortunately there may be a slight delay on the next update, as I have referred uni coursework due in on Friday that I need to get done. I promise the update by Saturday evening at the latest.

Well she doesn't look particularly young, (How do you tell, anyways?) Though she's clearly not above 18, so Iit's good there's like, what, 6 ponies to pass as her parents?
Troublesome, however... That'll depend on how rowdy she's feeling after the cave diving.

A hot meal? Wish granted. I also figured this might be a good way for us to get to know all the characters a bit better. If you want to, you can take this opportunity to have random conversations, talk about yourselves or discuss the latest hoofball season. If you can't think of anything to say, you could always just give us a snapshot of your character's thoughts and mention what food they've ordered.

Alternatively if you want me to just get on with the story and send you into the mines already, say so here. I'll go with the majority, since I hadn't planned on doing this anyway.

Well, that was a longer post than I was expecting. Interesting read too. Also, I'm quite surprised at how an MLP adventure somehow came to include so much sexual content. I think there's actually more here than in any of the other RPs on this site :P. I'm not sure if I should be amused or horrified.

Probably gonna go with amused. It's a fuzzier feeling.

Don't pretend you don't like it. :P

In all seriousness though, no reason to leave out anything that might serve as an interesting characterization point. I like my characters like I like my pools: deep and mostly transparent. Some things should remain obscured for the sake of (again) characterization or plot, but for the most part you want to keep everyone in the loop. It's like reading a story told by 6 or 7 different people.

Oh, in all seriousness, I'm loving it ;). Deep characters and genuine roleplay are way more interesting than just a group of people going spelunking for the sake of treasure. Besides, I've read pony fanfics with way more sexual content than this, some of which are amongst my favourite stories ever (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/28239/the-life-and-times-of-a-winning-pony).

There, something for Plumber to do while we wait for the others to make an appearance. I doubt Hazy can make Plumber back into the cheerful drunk he was at the beginning of the story, but he give it a go anyway.

EDIT: I've just started transfering all posts to a word document so I can keep a backup and edit them into a proper story. I've done five pages of the RP thread, and it's come to 18 pages of A4 so far. It's likely going to be over 50 by the time I get it up to date. Not bad going, all things considered.

I finished page 8 of the RP thread before getting bored. It'll take a while before I finish the copy-pasting, and a lot longer to edit it into a coherent story, but when I do I'll put it on Fimfiction.net and post up a link here.

Quote from: Waaaghpower on August 24, 2013, 05:23:58 PM
Thunder made a point of sitting next to one of her winged kin. A female pegasus were infinitely preferable to the crop of fools she had been dealing with before. Hazy wouldn't have been too bad, but she was glowering at him for not letting them get cider.
"I'm Thunder Bolt," she said to Anna, trying to strike up conversation. "Flight extraordinaire. So you'll be accompanying us on our cave trip?"
Quote from: PrimeNumber on August 26, 2013, 04:30:32 AM
Anna had not said a word the entire time, she didn't even make eye contact with anyone, all she did was listen in horror, still wondering why she accepted, if she even had much of a choice, slowly eating her simple salad, staring at the table, remaining as quiet and invisible as she possibly could.
Prime, I think you missed Thunder asking you a direct question, unless you just tried to ignore her.

Autoshapes are surprising versatile, and I don't have any other software. It's either Powerpoint, Word or Paint. Here's a background pony called Sea Swirl, courtesy of me and Powerpoint:

You can get bonus points by adding friends. ;)
It's a mediocre-decent game, but the amount of fan-favorite background characters included make it pretty fun. (You can get Vinyl Scra- Ahem, 'DJ Pon-3', the Big Lebowski-esque pony, Trixie, etc. and Derpy hides in a cardboard box somewhere on the map.)

I don't know if all of you can access it, but there is a thread for general MLP discussion here (http://secondsphere.org/index.php?topic=553.0) which would be better suited for discussing the gameloft game. I'm not especially bothered, but I thought I should mention it. As for Vinyl/Pon3, I think most people share your headcanon Hector.




In other news, I'm writing up the next update now. Here's something to look at while I write: your map. Oh, I should probably mention that your objective is roughly north, and that while I have most of your route mapped out there are side tunnels that can be explored. I'll be randomly generating most side passages though, so the caves are potentially infinite. So please don't try to explore them all, as I'll have to draw them all :P
Map

edit: I seem indecisive about Hazy's name. Apparently I changed it from Hazy Image at one point to Hazy Answer on the map without even realising it. I don't suppose it matters though, since everyone just refers to him as Hazy.

Post by: Mabbz on September 03, 2013, 11:10:14 PM
At the moment, the light level is dim but not too bad, like a room with the curtains drawn during the day. Of course, it's likely to get darker further in but I've given all of you lamps and the unicorns can use their horns if necessary. Other factors may come in later. Something to remember, I'm not contradicting the show at this stage (I won't do that unless I really have to), so maybe rewatching "A Canterlot Wedding" part two would give you some clues as to what I intend to do.

Now then, which way will you go? There is more than one correct path, since even if you stumble into randomly generated terrain there's a fair chance it's go back to the main route eventually. And of course, splitting up is always an option.

Sorry, Mabbz, I didn't realize until after I posted how much Map Generation you'll have to do...
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on September 05, 2013, 08:13:26 PM
No problem. I sort of assumed you were going to split up at some point anyway. I wasn't expecting splitting into four groups (I expected two or three), but that's no problem. There will be more junctions later, and it should be more or less impossible for you to explore the entire cave network. I'm making most of the map up as I go anyway so a bit more map generation isn't a big deal.

As for group selection... I could rig the drawing of lots, I roll for it randomly, or I could get Hazy to point out that this is an important mission and teams should be selected based on effectiveness, not chance. At this stage, I don't know which to pick. Thoughts?

And finally, PrimeNumber. This dungeon crawl could take a long time, but Anna is not forgotten. I'll give her something to do at soon.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on September 06, 2013, 11:28:58 PM
So I went for a mostly random chance selection, with the exception of not putting Thunder and Plumber together. There was no way Hazy would do that after hearing the story of Discord's temple. Now who goes where?

Post by: Mabbz on September 08, 2013, 11:07:21 PM
To speed things up, I'm going to send everyone one their way soon. Unless anyone posts anything different, Thunder and Pale will go down the eastern passage (furthest from Plumber :P), Hazy will go down the southwest (least likely to lead anywhere plot relevant) and Patent will go north (the only one left). If there are any objections, you have until my next post to raise them. I will probably post within the next 12 hours.

Oh, and I probably wont cover what happens to Hazy, since he isn't as important to the plot as you guys. That way I don't have to generate his section of the map or write anything for him.

Thunder nodded. Injured as she was, she wouldn't want the bridge to collapse under her. Between the leather Armor and her various lacerations and bruises, she might survive the fall but getting back up would be nigh on impossible.
She could have been happier with her choice of partner, but Bolt was fine with Patent. He was neither a racist pig nor a sobbing rapist, so she could tolerate his company and trust him in a bind. "How long do you suppose this path goes?" She asked, following behind him.
You're with Pale Ale, not Patent. Damn all these names starting with "P"  ::)

I just googled that, and it looks quite interesting. You are forgiven ;).




Now then... I was hoping that Minrat would post something before I updated you so I could do everyone at the same time, but I got bored of waiting. Instead I've just moved everyone else. Enjoy.

Meanwhile, Anna has to deal with something truly horrifying: door-to-door evangelists.

Sorry, the idea struck me and I couldn't help myself.

Yeah, one bad dice roll and you two get the first random encounter of the mine, while the others got a waterfall. Sorry about that, I guess dice really do hate Plumber.

Combat post is up. Plumber managed to roll so perfectly average that I just wrote the whole thing from Backlash's perspective. And boy did she come through. I don't think she actually failed a single roll.

Two details I didn't make clear in the post:
1) Nopony heard the fight.
2) the diamond dogs are fleeing, but you probably could catch them, if you wanted.

Well, you managed to get average passes every time you rolled to defend yourself, and average fails on every actual action. In other words you did basically nothing, but took no damage either. You didn't even wind up covered in an unpleasant liquid ;)

PrimeNumber, you have surprise and a frying pan on your side so this fight is far from impossible (if you hid well enough you could even avoid a fight altogether), but you are outnumbered two to one. This could get interesting.

Anna, if you want to sneak attack, you need a strength test, with a nice +3 bonus because you have the element of surprise on your side. You can interpret the how well the roll goes yourself if you want (although I may change it if I really don't agree with your interpretation) or you can just roll the dice and let me write the result.

The chest is nowhere near full; it's a good 2 feet wide contains eight gems. The gems are each about 3 inches (7cm) across. In short, you can easily take all the gems in your saddlebags. Also, nothing happens when you poke them with your wrench, and nothing would happen if you touched them with your bare hoof.

In case you were wondering, the first 20 means you failed to do what you planned, so you didn't hit the unicorn. The second 20 means you achieved your intent regardless, so you still managed to knock her out, just not the way you planned. Double twenties are fun :).

Actually Prime, if your going to attack an aware opponent it's not a one off roll. Three rounds rapid if you please (PM me three combat actions. I'm guessing your first is "try and clobber intruder" :P).

This is probably a good thing for you, as it invalidates that roll you gave me. A 17,3 is not a good roll at all

Posting here has been a little slow for everyone recently, so I wouldn't worry too much.

Speaking of which, are the rest of you going to question the dogs or not? Backlash makes it down safely incidentally. It doesn't take much strength for a pegasus to fall safely into a pool of water, even with armour.

Meh. I freely admit that I know nothing about metallurgy. The armour in the show is probably bronze, now that I think of it, but I have no idea why brass wouldn't be used as armour. I think I'll switch it to bronze though.

Now, you need to figure out what to do next, as well as what to do with your new information and also what to do with the dogs.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: HectorSmash on October 17, 2013, 12:45:43 AM
Brass is shit-tier pleb metal. Copper + zinc does not a strong alloy make. Heavy as fuck though lol

Bronze is generally good on account of copper being malleable and tin being brittle. The alloy of the two makes a very sturdy metal that's fairly durable and malleable. It's also bluish like batponies' armor. Celestia's guards are probably wearing something closer to a gold alloy, like some kind of weird gold-steel alloy.

EDIT: Curiously, Tumbaga looks like a pretty good match, and might be a good metal for armor.

I'm tempted to say all guard armour (day and night) is made of steel that's been dyed or in some way. It'd probably be simpler.

In fact, yeah I will do that. Suffice it to say that I don't know much about metals and won't research them for a minor plot point, so if I give a metal that doesn't make sense in context, then I'm probably just trying to say it's a metal of a certain colour :P.

As long as we don't literally charge in headfirst this doesn't seem difficult. Pale drunkifies them all, (or gives them hangovers or whatever,) and Patent can crossbow one in the head... Armor or no, three drunk ponies against six doesn't seem too hard. Could we also use the diamond dogs as body shields?

Ah, university coursework. I miss the good old days when I could just ignore it all and throw monsters at ponies without real life distractions.

Wait. I've got my priorities wrong here. Ponies are more important. Sorry, I don't know what came over me ;D




So, do we have a consensus? I get the impression that you all want to get some explosives, and I'll go with that if no-one has any other suggestions. That said, I'd like to know how you intend to get these explosives, since they aren't something people regularly buy at market. I'm also going to point out that the cave you want to blow up is directly under a street in Canterlot, so be aware of the potential consequences.

On a lighter note, here is a bit more information on guard armour (of both the day and night guard variants):

"That feels too risky" Pale shook his head, "but I don't see any real alternatives unless you do happen to have a load of explosives stashed around here? I can incapacitate one of the unicorns with a drunkenness spell - both of them if I'm very lucky and they don't see me coming. That should have the added effect of distracting the other guards so we can catch them unawares."
Quote from: Waaaghpower on October 29, 2013, 09:21:20 PM
"You're splattered with the blood of the two diamond dogs you just beat up. What do you mean, 'Not the fighting type?" Thunder asked, bemused. "Still, maybe we should head back to town to stock up on dynamite and get Rosie the... Something... er? I didn't think that pun through."
I admit, they were more sarcasm than actual agreement, but they aren't bad. It may just be wishful thinking, since everything can be improved with explosives. That is to say, I'll enjoy watching. Your characters might not ;)

I was in a hurry when I posted that. Let's try again: Backlash could probably requisition some basic night guard armour for herself, but it wouldn't give any major advantage over her usual attire.

Sorry I'm taking a while between posts, I've had to deal with some issues here, at uni and at home. I've dealt with most of them (I'm still in denial about my uni coursework deadlines :shifty:), but I might not update for another week.

In the meantime, there's one other thing you can think of. What are you going to do with the diamond dogs? You're leaving the tunnels, but you seem to have forgotten them. I'm tempted to say they stealthily escaped while you were all chatting ;)

I HAVE RETURNED. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=12XO38PONoI=)




Anyway, news. First, I have reason to believe Primenumber has left. As such, Annatalia Rose will be an NPC for now. I'll try to keep her alive in case Prime comes back.

Second, I apologise for the break (it was only a week. Enter, The Darkness goes way longer between updates). Hopefully we are now back to you regularly scheduled ponies. The next post will be up in the next hour, or your money back.

Now, onwards! FOR THE DIARCHY!

Better living through science and ponies (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22535/better-living-through-science-and-ponies) was a fanfic that someone posted in the old brony thread, around a year or two ago. It was a crossover between MLP and Portal, it was the first fanfic I ever read and it was brilliant.

And now it has a sequel. (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/109545/a-trusted-friend-in-science-and-ponies)

I can't be bothered to find the clip on youtube, so I want you all to read the following in the voice of Jonny Depp when he played Willy Wonka.

"You're really weird."  ;D

Anyways, I can get updates out faster if I have a clear consensus on your plans. I'm also curious about where exactly you plan to get explosives from. I can assure you, there are no shops that can legally sell large quantities of explosives to a single buyer. In fact, shops that sell explosives at all are pretty rare and generally require a background check unless you're buying quantities to small to be of any real use.

I'm not trying to discourage your plan (why would I object to explosions?). But you need to be a bit more specific. Feel free to ask me questions here if you need to know whether your character would know something.

Well, depending on the chemistry of Equestria, fertilizer can function as a powerful explosive. Or we can go it the old fashioned way and hit up every retailer in town, one at a time, at marked intervals throughout the day, to all buy a little bit at once. After all, if we each only get sold a little bit but there are five of us, and, say, five places that sell whatever explosive we want, that's 25 little pieces. Possibly more since, considering in-world physics, paper-thin disguises tend to work, and we could hit up the same places two or three times.
Barring that, I could go all ninja and steal everything. Those are my ideas.

I was gonna go with 'retrieve explosives from hammerspace,' but Waaagh's idea sounds a lot more plausible.

Jokes aside, would the Royal Guard keep a stock of explosives around that Lash could 'borrow' from? Obviously she'd have to 'borrow' them, because if they were requisitioned, somepony might catch on.

Real world chemistry applies unless otherwise stated, but I really doubt any of your characters would know about fertiliser bombs. The other idea would probably work though. You'd most likely be buying fireworks, and Equestria has complicated rules that would prevent individuals buying lots in one go. Five ponies buying separately from as many shops as they could find would probably go unnoticed, at least for a few weeks.

The disguise thing would of course require some luck.

So... your idea to get the explosives you need in order to get past some heavily armoured guards is to steal them from some other heavily armoured guards?

The only mines around Canterlot are the crystal mines you were just in. Some parts are still active, but they don't use explosives since they're under a major city.

As an aside, there was a moment in the S4 premiere that made me squee with self-important excitement (SPOILER I guess if you haven't seen it):
Spoiler
When the moon eclipsed the sun in Twilight's little trip to the past, Luna was shrouded in orange and black and transformed into Nightmare Moon for revenge against Celestia. I know the writers are almost surely both unaware and uncaring of Lashy's existence, but I still felt a nice little twinge of familiarity.

Have you guys seen the premiere yet?

Of course I have. To save time, I'll just quote the post I made in the Enclave.

Quote from: Mabbz on November 23, 2013, 06:15:47 PM
Well, I guess it's that time again. I've just finished watching a low quality version of the premiere here (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rXb4qdlBzog). Good episode I thought. Now on to the spoilers:

Spoiler
I only found out about this by reading the comments, but pause the theme music on Fluttershy's bit. Discord is in her cottage.

The dark magic from Sombra's episode is... Alicorn magic? Intriguing.

Celestia and Luna's big fight flashback was pretty damn epic. Tree of Harmony aside, this episode fairly accurately agrees with my headcanon on that fight.

Sadly though, the episode also pretty thoroughly destroys my idea on the origins of Celestia, Luna and the Elements. Ah well, I can adapt it.

Final point. About 14 minutes in Spike is complaining about Twilight's flying skills, leading to her saying exasperatedly "Ok, I get it. I need to work on my flying". I had to laugh at that incredibly subtle jab at the number of bronies that complained about Twilight flying at the end of S3. I refuse to believe it wasn't deliberate.

Like Radiohead said, "You do it to yourself, you do, and that's what really hurts..."

Anyway, MORE S4 SPOILAHS:

Spoiler
I think when Zecora said 'alicorn magic,' she really meant 'dark magic,' and was just saying 'alicorn magic' to spare Twilight and her friends some stress. It kinda makes sense that a zebra would know of ancient or occult magics like that, anyway.

Post by: Mabbz on December 06, 2013, 01:52:52 AM
An interesting question. I actually noticed his absence a week or so ago, but forgot to do anything about it. According to his profile page he hasn't been online since October 14th. This, sadly, means Patent is under my control as another NPC until further notice. I'll also send a message to notify him.

At least we still have four active players. And three GMPCs. I subtly removed Hazy for the time being (frying pans are subtle right?) to lower my workload, but I have plans for him so I may have to remove one or both of the others. In short, Minrat better come back soon...

On a related note, if any of you need to drop out for some reason for any length of time more than about a week, I'd really appreciate being told. Not knowing makes my life difficult.

On an unrelated note, I just realised Dawn and Dusk can be abrreviated to D&D. This was unintentional :P.

"Fire in the hole!" yelled Backlash, leaping to cover just as an explosion rocked the cavern. The blast snapped a stalactite, which plunged down...

Into Thunder.

The other ponies stared in shock at the sudden and pointless death of the pegasus. After a moment, the silence was broken.

"Stupid featherbrain," muttered Patent.

"I never got to tell her that I loved her!" wailed Plumber, Hazy and Backlash. They looked at each other, before racing into a three way hug, which quickly became an orgy. This caused a massive magical blast powered by the magic of love to tear through the world, incinerating it.

"Not again," groaned Celestia.

It (the show) maintains the notion that every individual is unique - in colors, in race, in 'talent,' in personality, and so on - without sacrificing the idea that all these individuals can work together to form a beautiful, idyllic society run on the elements they uphold.

Kindness, generosity, good humor, honesty, loyalty, and the ability to expand one's mind are held in regard as the most important characteristics of a person; not how successful, beautiful, or rich they are.

Furthermore, these concepts are packaged in a decidedly feminine and expressive way. This gives many men, who have chronically been urged to be 'manly,' an anchor for their feminine side - their anima, as Jung called it. It's not feminine for the sake of being feminine, it's feminine to use and exemplify the traits commonly associated with being effeminate: empathy, grace, and compassion. For someone like me, it's validation. It means that all my life I haven't been misled, that the key to a healthy and happy society does in fact lie with these characteristics, and that I shouldn't be ashamed to make good use of them.

A few other points would be the counterculture aspect and the fact that it has a substantial fanbase. Some people may be drawn to the idea of being contrary to the currently accepted notion of what makes a man, and like the show for that reason rather than actually approving of its message. In other words, they'd be fighting against something, rather than for something else.

Others may be attracted to the sizable fanbase and just want to fit in. That's fine too. I like fitting in. Everyone does, I think. Even the people who call themselves 'contrarian.'

Further still, you have people fascinated by the artistic style, people romantically attracted to the characters, people who are something else first and a brony second (like some FO:E fans) - the list just goes on and on. Of course, it's not unreasonable to expect any given person to fall into multiple categories at once.

It all comes back to my original point: everyone has their own individual way of liking the show, but in the end, no matter how we show our interest, we're all united by it.

And that's just so precious to me, I can't not be a part of it.

Is it just me, or are the first five minutes of the new episode simply making fun of the fandom?

Post by: HectorSmash on December 10, 2013, 01:52:22 AM
I think most of the episode could be applied to the pony fandom. I, for one, have a tendency to put my favorite authors, artists, and musicians on a bit of a pedestal. If it was intentionally poking fun at us, I think it's well-deserved. Besides, it's healthy to laugh at oneself from time to time!

Also we got some really interesting facial and body expressions out of it. I think you know which ones I'm talking about.

I'm quite happy to have another character, since we only have four people out of the original six. The issue is slotting you into the story. For various reasons, I'll PM you about how we'll do this (mostly to make the others paranoid :shifty:).

Considering I've only seen snippets of the Live-Action movie through critiques, I'll have to say the Animated version ;) Though the horn creates a small fireball, he still needs to due the "Judo" to do anything of real force.

Hazy is male. You saw nothing.  :facepalm001:

As for the sewer, work has begun on building a sewer system using the mines, but they're doing the rich parts of town and the not-quite-finished palace first and haven't reached your part of town yet.

Everything looks good for your character sheet. Here's a recap on how stat checks work for you:

Roll two d20s. The first is a simple pass/fail based on your stat. Rolling equal to or lower than your stat is a pass, higher is a fail. The second is how well it went for you, with low numbers meaning that the action went badly, while higher numbers indicate things going well.

In the case of Cynder checking for danger, you passed the test so you noticed something was wrong. Unfortunately, the three you rolled means that it doesn't do you a blind bit of good. In this instance, it might mean that you noticed something was wrong a moment too late to stop Thunder bashing you in the face. How you interpret the roll is really up to you. I'll only step in if I think you've done something wrong.

Yes you would, but I'll do it. This is technically combat, which is a bit more complicated than a standard skill check.

Heh, there were some terrible rolls when I wrote that. If that had been a real fight, Thunder's rolls probably would have resulted in the first death of the story. I decided that killing a PC in a new player's first scene might be a little harsh though.

udging by the situation, I'm fairly sure he thinks that I showed him the essay because it was why I liked the show, and he was trying to be clever. Judging by the fact that he altered tiny bits of it and didn't source it in the slightest, (time for more ego stroking,) he thought he would sound really smart and insightful by using your well-thought out thesis.
Unfortunately for him, my sister figured out something was up because of the lack of spelling errors.

So, what's the consensus? From what I gather, Thunder was suggesting a nice zerg rush against the mine entrance, Cynder wants to try a two pronged assault on the mine, Backlash seems to want to storm the other base first and Pale is agreeing with Backlash. I'd like at least three ponies in agreement before I make a post. This is your story after all, I don't want to guess your plan.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on January 09, 2014, 11:11:54 PM
So then, the consensus appears to be leave the mine alone for now and raid Fog Dancer's house (likely the place they took Anna to), using Cynder's plan. I'll do my best to get a post up tomorrow. I have one question though. When? It's a little while after dark now, and most of you are tired from a long day down the mines and the occasional concussion. You could do it tonight while it's dark, you could do it tomorrow after a good night's rest or you could wait until tomorrow night, which would leave you time to prepare during the day.

Oh, feel free to give your opinions here if you can't think of a good way to RP it. I'd rather see opinions here than not see them at all.

Sounds reasonable, if no one else objects I'll write it up as an evening raid.

As for the crossbow, Patent had it on him when he was arrested. Since you haven't currently got any plans for tomorrow, you could try and get him out of jail tomorrow. I will remind you that the thieves have spies in the guard though, so maybe the arrest was more than it seems...

Or it might just be a coincidence. Considering I've been making a lot of stuff up as I go along, it could even be both, or neither. I'm like Schrodinger's GM or something :P

In the meantime, you mentioned looking into getting Pale's crossbow. I assume your character's would feel obliged to try and get him as well? Also, were you thinking of busting him out (and stealing the crossbow), or something more official like paying his bail or using Backlash or Hazy's status as a guard to get him released/requisition the crossbow?

My apologies for how long that took. I have no excuse, I was simply procrastinating. If it makes you feel any better though, I didn't do my uni coursework either.

Anyways, three rounds rapid! Backlash and Thunder should send them as well, even if they stick to the plan and wait for the enemy to flee. You can tell me what you want to do to the cowards.

Poor Cynder.

Just occurred to me: I'm not really used to having to fight other ponies, only enough to escape or hinder them while I run away. Plus all I have is a bladed weapon, so... I'm gonna be showing some restraint when it comes to attacking downed or otherwise harmed enemies. I mean, I don't wanna kill them, necessarily, but yeah.

Probably should have considered that ahead of time. Next thing on my shopping list is a nice hefty truncheon.

Poor Cynder.

Just occurred to me: I'm not really used to having to fight other ponies, only enough to escape or hinder them while I run away. Plus all I have is a bladed weapon, so... I'm gonna be showing some restraint when it comes to attacking downed or otherwise harmed enemies. I mean, I don't wanna kill them, necessarily, but yeah.

Probably should have considered that ahead of time. Next thing on my shopping list is a nice hefty truncheon.
I'll bear that in mind for the future. You haven't inflicted a serious injury yet, so don't worry too much.

Yeah, I didn't use the rolls you sent me with the actions. Unfortunately, the first thing I do in any fight is roll for initiative by rolling a D20 and adding your Agility stat (sometimes with modifiers for having surprise on your side and the like). Cynder has the lowest Agility stat of any of the combatants, and then he rolled a 1. I basically decided that meant he never reached the fight.

Thunder did well though. She has the highest Agility, and rolled a 20. If she'd rolled a little better on the actual attack I would have had her tackle one of your enemies straight past everyone else and out the front door.

I think we're jumping into the 3 rounds rapid?

Also just a heads up, I'm not sure if it's made national news at all but a great deal of Australia is currently on fire. I'm possibly going with a brigade strike team to one of the fires so I'll be off the radar for a day or two.

Three rounds rapid. You could make a post about Plumber's thoughts at the moment, although I have a feeling they could be summed up as "ohshitohshitohshit"

That is a pretty cool design. Guns haven't been invented in this setting yet, but I imagine you could use the same trigger set up for a crossbow.

Sorry for the delay, I found a long MLP / X-COM: Enemy Unknown crossover fanfic (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/100455/stardust) that kept distracting me. Still, it's here now. It isn't over yet though, another three rounds rapid if you please.

Thunder keeps rolling stupidly well. I'd be annoyed if it wasn't so awesome. She may come to regret it though.

On a non MLP note, I'm a player in another RP on this forum that is open for more members. It's here (http://secondsphere.org/index.php?topic=172.0) if you're interested. I can assure you that it's very well written and I've had a lot of fun with it. The downsides are that it doesn't update as regularly as D&D, and that the GM is fairly anti-MLP.

Well you did only give yourself a Strength of 6. You're rolling fairly well all things considered.

Fight's up. That was eventful. Just a point I should make now: with the exception of Backlash and possibly Cynder, all your character's are civillians. You've likely never seen a dead pony outside of a funeral, and almost certainly never been involved in a fight like this. If you are unaffected by this, you're probably a psychopath.

Incidentally, the fight is effectively over. Juggernaught is still struggling, by Pale has him pretty firmly under control. You'll need a Strength test to knock him out, or you could try to talk him into surrendering.

Post by: Mabbz on February 01, 2014, 12:05:31 AM
No that was fine. In future though, all stat checks are made by rolling two d20s. The first is a simple pass/fail where you need to roll under the relevant stat, while the second determines how well it went for you. In practice:

Passing the check and rolling high on the second dice means you do what you inteded with good results (potentially too good with a 20, such as Sunbeam and Guiding Light's deaths). Rolling around 7-12 means you did what you wanted; not spectacularly but it worked well enough. Rolling low means you did what you wanted but it had unintended consequences that may not benefit you.

Failing the check and rolling high on the second dice means you didn't do what you inteded, but it worked out for you anyway. Rolling around 9-14 means you failed, but not too badly. Rolling low means an epic fail.

Both dice rolls can be subject to modifiers if I deem it necessary.

You don't have to re-roll though. It's not that important on this occasion.

Technically, killing Guiding Light was the result of perfect dice rolling for Thunder, and horrible rolls on her part. The same goes for Baklash killing Sunbeam. I believe the phrase is "Gone Horribly Right". For an RP based on My Little Pony, this is starting to get worryingly dark.

EDIT: has Thunder noticed that her attacker is now dead, or does she think the unicorn is unconscious? Also, I thought I'd give Backlash someone to talk to, and an option for dealing with the other body.

She assumes unconciousness, though she hasn't thought about it very much seeing as she's a teensy weensy bit distracted by blinding pain in her shoulder.

It's set way in the past, some time between Discord's reign and Luna's betrayal. The Elements of Harmony have gone missing, and we're a very 'special' team arranged to find and retrieve them.

I'm going to say go with the plot. Currently Thunder's injury is very painful and has left her feeling weak. Let's say a few minutes rest will get her able to move (painfully, with assistance), but she'll need at least a good night's sleep and a decent meal before she can walk on her own and even then it'll be with difficulty. Of course, healing magic exists which could speed things up, assuming you can get some.

In theory yes, you can join. That said, the story revolves around a top secret mission with confirmed traitors in the royal guard. Joining at this stage could prove awkward since the main characters don't know who to trust, so why should they trust you? I can get around that if your character is a member of the guard, but if you don't want to be a guard then you'll probably have to wait a while unless you can come up with a plausible way to convince the others to trust you.

Either way, I'd rather talk about it by PM rather than here, to make the others paranoid :shifty: in case I have to disallow something due to hidden aspects of the plot.

As much as I approve of OctaScratch (mind you, I approve of pretty much every ship I've come across), this setting is nine years after Celestia and Luna first imprisoned Discord in stone, but before Sombra and Nightmare Moon were defeated. I'm afraid it'll be another thousand years before they are born. As for a summary, it goes like this:

The Elements of Harmony have been stolen from their secure vault in Everfree City (I decided the old palace would have a city around it). Because some members of the royal guard were involved in the theft, a bunch of civillians have been hired to retrieve them, with the help of a few guards that were definitely not involved. The thieves have been tracked to Canterlot, and our intrepid heroes are hunting them down and beating them up (very thoroughly. Two of the thieves just got killed in the last fight), while trying to figure out exactly where the elements are and who ordered the theft (well, technically they don't need to find out the latter, but I figured they'd be curious).

Mostly medieval with limited steampunk tech (I think). Patent has a crossbow, but we're not Dwemer-tier or anything. Definitely no bass cannons, unless Mabbz feels like letting you say 'But it's magic, not technology!' and getting away with some massive troll logic.

...Which would be pretty funny, but kind of imba considering the technological prowess of everyone else in the universe.

There's no detailed rules, since technology in Equestria is kinda all over the place already. I'll pretty much handle things on an individual basis, but Hector's basically right. Barring enchantments, keep it fairly medieval. And no steampunk, Patent's crossbow was just intricate clockwork mechanisms. The steam train hasn't been invented yet.

Basically, tell me what you want and if you can't have it, I'll tell you what the closest thing you can have is. Oh, and their is a bunch of posts on the first page that have some information you might find useful. I think there was a technology post somewhere.

Well, since Hector made a fairly contradictory post, someone's going to have to edit :P

If you do come outside, feel free to write in some of Hazy's actions or dialogue if you want. I imagine he'd try to stop you from spotting the body by telling you to go back inside for whatever reason and concealing it with magic. Oh, and remember he's effectively a spy for the princesses; he'd be able to lie quite convincingly.

Considering Cynder had no knowledge of any casualties as a result of the fight, I'd say he shouldn't jump to conclusions that Hazy would be hiding bodies. Hell, nobody knew except the three of us - that's kind of the point.

Besides, we're trying to make an interesting subplot, man... c'mon.

I'm with HectorSmash. Plus, in addition to everything he said, also it's unlikely that you could walk upstairs, find a pillow, come downstairs, and walk outside in the time it took to say four sentances and walk inside.

You know, I'd completely forgotten that Plumber wears glasses. For future reference (in case they get lost or broken), how blind is he without them? Don't worry, I'm not planning on targetting them specifically, but I like to have options.

Without them beyond about 2-3 feet reading is out of the question past like 6 feet things get blurry ans difficult to recognize if he doesnt know what thet are already. Also prolonged periods witout them may result in headaches.

How much armour was this pegasus wearing? Are we talking something like the royal guard armour, or a full harness? Because I'm picturing the pony version of this:

Answered in the story post. Divide the loot amongst yourselves and decide what to do next.

In case you're wondering by the way, tailblades are basically a bladed leather ribbon that ponies can weave into their tails. There are different kinds, some effectively turn your tail into a mace or flail, others are more like highly flexible rapiers or spiked whips. This particular set is the spiked whip kind. It can't be used by ponies with short tails, but none of you have particularly short tails, so you're good.

Dibs on the wingblades!
Except I'm asleep, so I can't call dibs on anything...
Tailspike would be neat, but considering my combat mostly involves high speed rushes I doubt it would do me much good.
(I assume the wingblades are higher quality than my own?)

Virtually anyone that's attracted to ponies is automatically an ass man. A pony's ass takes up a sizable chunk of their body, is far more easily visible than anything else from the back and is covered only by fur and a tail, which to my mind is the equivalent of underwear where all but the most intersting area is made only of translucent material.

I suppose legs are another reasonable target for lust, as they are fairly visible and their fur is the equivalent of fairly thick tights. Horns and wings are also fair game, but they're only available to about two-thirds of the population.

I just overthought that, didn't I?




Pale, good to see you again. If you want to search for the key, roll 1d20 and add 6. If the result is over your Intelligence, you find it. I'll let you work out the details of how and where.

I assume that the magical laws are what control the musical aspects in the universe, a-la Buffy the Vampire Slayer style. (Minus the negative aspects.) So everypony has rhymes come to them without effort, dance moves are involuntary (As long as the song is going), magical music plays, and we only have vague control of when the music starts or ends.
(And, that everyone is aware of how it works and when it happens, but can't control it.)

I go to bed for nine hours and come back to this? I should sleep more.

Just so you all know, Hazy's staying out of this whole thing. He's kinda meant to be a bit of an introvert and this is way beyond him. Besides, this is your story and I don't think the GMPC should get involved. Also I can't think of what to write.

Fun fact, one reason I suggested a training session was to give everyone a small stat boost (sorry Waaaghpower, excluding Thunder was an in character decision).

Sound's reasonable to me. Let's go with that. With one extra rule based on a fanfic I read; if a pony sings something that was clearly intended to be a secret (for example, declaring undying love for somepony) then it is considered hugely impolite to talk about it. You're supposed to ignore it and move on as though nothing happened.

So Cynder is straight-up immune to the magic, then?

Also: Mabbz, how much of a stat boost were you going to give them for half a day of sparring? Because really, that's *nothing* in terms of training... (As Thunder pointed out.)
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on March 06, 2014, 01:36:24 PM
A very small one. One point in a single stat of your choice. I know half a day of training shouldn't really give you anything, but it also takes into account experience from the last several days (did this adventure really only start 3-4 days ago?). Besides, what fun is an RP without tangible character development?

Also, don't complain about free stat points. I might decide to take them away :P

I would join in (I did do a bit in the last song), but I can't think of any lyrics. Feel free to use him as a backing singer if you want though. Or even write him his own verse. Or duet. Or snazzy dance number. Or use his illusion magic to make special effects.

No more of a battle than the argument already was, I'd say. You can respond just the same, but there's no 'Winner' or 'Loser', just two ponies having a conversation in song.

When it comes to other ponies, sure. If it was something simple like an impenetrable door or a labyrinth full of lava snakes? Pff, easy. At least she doesn't have to deal with other ponies' whining and being irrational and screaming and carrying on, always being such nuisances.  :P

And now you're agreeing with Thunder. Working with inexperienced, untrained ponies is worse than working alone.

Horrible dice rolling. There was a 1/12 chance of getting a rapist, and even then a small chance that she wouldn't go with him. I really need to stop adding a rape option to my random encounter tables :P

EDIT: I feel the need to point out that Hazy's veiws do not necessarily mirror my own. I imagine he wants some of you to quit to make his life simpler, but I don't. I'm just acting the character.

I really shouldn't have added the rapist option to the random encounter table. I felt uneasy as I wrote it, and I've been regretting it more and more ever since. In addition, Thunder's attempts at fighting off her attacker went very badly, and Plumber's point of view makes it seem unlikely that he'll even notice that Thunder is even present. Even if he does, he's so drunk that he'll probably just get beaten up for his troubles.

Basically, I wish I hadn't gone down this route at all. As such, I am going to retcon everything to do with the rapist. Thunder will be back in the bar and have to roll on the tables again, this time with the rapist possibility removed.

That feel when the party's rolls are so bad that the GM has to step in and tone it down so we can keep playing

Also, I know what you mean on that front, Six-Pack Mabbz. Writing stuff like that makes me physically uncomfortable; like even though it's not real and I'm not reading it, somehow writing it is a totally different phenomenon, like I'm birthing this evil abomination that other people are gonna have to deal with.

Then again, the stakes aren't very high if we're not dealing with death, injury, rape, etc. on a regular basis. I trust you to find a good balance between the two.

EDIT: Thunder, you lucky whore! Hope she left some for me... ;)

I wish I had a six pack...

I am starting to think that moving to a different dice roller site might be necessary. Have any of you ever rolled well? As for high stakes, don't worry. Injury and death are still very much in this (Thunder and Backlash are killers, remember?), I'd just like to move away from rape. Too much mental trauma and internal party conflict was slowing the story down as it is.

I'm akso unsure how to handle the issue of  'Ponies have no genetalia.' The only apparent gender difference is the shape of their head and pitch of their voice...

Friend, you have no idea.

I typically go with 'it's there but since ponies are usually naked there's no social stigma about it' to account for why people aren't perpetually distracted by all the dangly bits hanging out. Blame Fallout: Equestria for that one.

Wait what? I think we're not on the same page here. (Although FIMFic does have the tendency to have like 50% of its featured stories be clopfics, fucking mods) If you're talking about Fallout: Equestria, that doesn't involve humans at all. It's just one of the topics touched on in passing.

Post by: Mabbz on March 15, 2014, 11:39:29 PM
You can indeed. You'll need to make a Magic Power stat check with -2 to your first roll (cutie mark bonus). Bear in mind that a horrible failure could cause an explosion.

Reminder: stat checks are done by rolling 2 d20s. The first is a simple pass/fail that must be under your stat to succeed (so a -2 modifier is a good thing), while the second is a measure of how well the action turned out for you. Roughly speaking, rolling around 7-13 on the 2nd dice is a standard success or fail, rolling above 16 is either a crit success or a "not as planned, but it worked" moment, and rolling below 5 is either a crit fail or a gone horribly right moment.

Not just yet, I'm waiting to hear back from someone about something. Yes, I am being vague.

Although actually, since you're not with any other PCs, I suppose it wouldn't make a difference. Feel free to wake yourself up, as long as you don't go back to the others yet.

I figured it wouldn't matter, I just wanted to get permission to move on. Don't worry, it'll be pretty plot-lite, just a scene where Thunder leaves the apartment.

Well, when you live alone for a couple decades and never have to interact with anyone outside from some animals and the occasional job, you get kinda super-attracted to people really easy... Hazy made the mistake of letting her hug him, and now that Thunder's gone, someone has to fill the void.

Told you she's fucking crazy.

He didn't hear Backlash come down the stairs, as he was focussed on the outside ;) If anything attacks from the basement, I think we can assume it would be much more noisy then a spy creepin' down the stairs :P

Wut.

Well, that was pretty unexpected. I'll merge Hazy's reaction in with the main story post when I write it tomorrow, since writing at midnight isn't a good way to ensure quality. Plus it gives me more time to decide which would be funnier; Hazy waking up to find Backlash spooning him or Hazy already being awake and spending the night in silent terror of the crazy mare (possibly while in desperate need of the toilet).

In other news, as you all may or may not be aware, I'm a bit of an irreverent antiestablishmentarian. In the spirit of such a mindset, and in the name of self-edification through education, have a video that should piss you off (or at least shake you a little).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6zQO7JytzQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s6zQO7JytzQ)

The topic of this documentary is huge in the States. Normally I'd feel uncomfortable so blatantly plugging my own opinions where they don't belong, but this subject is a sheer matter of education and knowledge vs. illusion and imposed ignorance.

Post by: HectorSmash on March 20, 2014, 02:06:11 AM
Oh yeah, lol my bad. It's called The Corporation and it shows how corporations have invaded American society for their own gain. The tricky part of the whole ordeal is that it can be proven that corporations can provide services and goods that are necessary or effective for maintaining our quality of life; however, we as a nation are quickly coming to a point (if we're not there already) where the downsides will outweigh the upsides, necessitating a conspiracy of public ignorance in order for these corporations to continue to operate or 'live.'

It all sounds like the plot of a Deus Ex game, but it's really quite disturbing how invasive these companies are. Of particular importance is the bit around an hour and 25 minutes in, wherein companies are patenting actual life and genetics. It may not be life-threatening or catastrophic right now, but that's the key: stopping it before it becomes insoluble.

I took ages trying to figure out how Hazy would react to that situation, before eventually coming up with this. His job means that lying is his usual method for dealing with stuff, and he prefers easy solutions to complicated ones. Here, he has a choice: straighten things out with Backlash, which will mean a long emotional talk with a vulnerable mare in the middle of a dangerous and important mission, or go along with it for the time being, and sort it out when the fate of Equestria isn't at stake.

Besides, he does like Backlash; she seems like a nice mare and she is quite attractive. Maybe it could work between them? Hazy doesn't believe in true love anyway. He views love as being a really good friendship, just with exclusivity, physical benefits and a bunch of additional responsibilities (like hearts and hooves day). He would have preferred to get to know Backlash a little better before taking this step, but he thinks he can manage.

He's doomed, isn't he?




The rest of you can wake yourselves up. I don't think Hazy or Backlash are likely to wake you, unless things get really out of hoof.

EDIT: @Walrus, it is lofty. It's nigh impossible, borderline suicidal depending on what country you're in and what corporation you're fighting. But if we as a people stop fighting or trying to fight entirely, our moral and individual values are screwed.

EDIT EDIT: Back on the pony side of things, I can't decide exactly how I want to play this out. To be fair, Mabbz surprised me with this about as much as I surprised him to begin with! Let's see just how badly I can make Hazy regret his decision...

Well I had to get revenge somehow, didn't I?

In my defence, I mostly played it this way because I honestly feel that's how Hazy would react. Play along until he can make the situation work in his favour (either break up in a peaceful manner or decide that he wants to commit to the relationship).

Actually, Backlash, Hazy and Rose all know Fog Dancer's name, since Hazy has been spying on her and the other two had an encounter with her in a warehouse. I'll work on the assumption that they haven't told you though.

It would be an intelligence test for the one being lied to, with modifiers depending on who has the higher intelligence (his is only 5, so the modifiers will be nicely in your favour). I'll roll the dice when I post his response, since I can't remember the exact modifiers at the moment.

If I gave you the rolls, it'd tell you for certain one way or another. I will say this though, the odds are in your favour of Cynder being correct (that is, Cynder had to make an intelligence test with a +3 bonus to his stat. If he passed, that means he was right about being lied to. If he failed, that means he wasn't lied to).

Sorry for the delay (I know two days isn't that much, but still). Now then, what are Pale, Thunder and Plumber doing. Last I can see, Pale was coming downstairs with no real intent so I didn't want to assume anything with his actions, Plumber had had an epiphany and was considering what to do next and Thunder just got dumped.

I'm going to finish up down in the basement and then set out to look for Plumber and Thunder. Without my armor on, I can at least fly around and get a bird's eye view for a few minutes, so maybe that'll work. I'm absolutely avoiding Hazy unless he confronts me directly.

I was busy today, but I hope to finally get you to the caves tomorrow. Time to see if you have enough explosives to solve this problem.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on April 21, 2014, 12:32:09 PM
Right then, two things before the fight. First, wasn't the plan that you the explosives would be a distraction, while the other group attacked topside? From what I can see, you current plan is to kill the guards then set off the explosives, which doesn't make sense to me unless you want to blow up the basement wall. It's not entirely clear from the post you made.

Second (once that's cleared up), I'll need three rounds rapid. This is a fight scene after all.

Post by: Waaaghpower on April 21, 2014, 01:14:07 PM
I thought the plan was to use the explosives, but with a limited enough charge that it wouldn't completely gib the guards. Use it like a shockwave ir a concussive force, not a deadly instakill. For mercy's sake.

Sorry this took so long, my final year project for uni was due. Also minecraft.

Now then, three rounds rapid! Since you had time in character to plan this fight, you can discuss your actions here before sending them to me. Also, I'll let you lot collectively decide what Brute's 3RR will be. Also, did you let him have his equipment back beforehoof? Here's his stats, in case you're wondering.

Name: Brute Force
Pony Type: Pegasus (M)
S: 13
E: 12
A: 10
M: 5
I: 5
Cutie mark: Sledgehammer
Equipment: Steel helmet and boots, chainmail vest.

I'd completely forgotten that. I'll edit the character sheet. Did anyone else take anything that I've forgotten about? Here's a list of the loot you earned:

As I said in RP, I'll take the sword if no one else wanted it. I assume it would come with a scabard?

I was thinking of trying to attack from range, providing further cover to the ponie charging forward. Might get lucky and take out a enemy guard before they're able to recover :P

I vote for the zerg PONY rush as well. Thunder's still got light armor and good wingblades, she can probably do something if my dice hold up.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: HectorSmash on April 28, 2014, 03:18:41 PM
I'd prefer to have Brute Force join us in the front lines, personally. He's a big dude, and the sight of a once-friendly combatant on our side might demoralize the enemy a bit.

Speaking of front lines, I'd be trying to stay a little further back than Brute and Thunder, and only hop in on one of the guards once they'd been engaged on. Support fighter, if you will. I'm not exactly the toughest pony around, and I seem to have a bit of a nasty track record for killing ponies, so maybe I'll leave most of the fighting to the others and try to get to the objective (inside the base) as quickly as possible.

Do I need to send you a 3 rounds rapid to recover, or am I just sitting tight until after the encounter?
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on May 12, 2014, 02:14:39 PM
Sitting tight, I'm afraid. Had you been attacked with a more deadly spell than Fus Ro Da you'd have been maimed or killed by your rolling in that fight.

Post by: Waaaghpower on May 12, 2014, 04:29:41 PM
Um... How did Thunder end up on her back? I'm trying to imagine the actions that happened for a forward charge to turn her upside down, and it's just not coming. Did she do a sumersault?
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on May 12, 2014, 06:03:09 PM
She was attacking from above and to the side, almost parallel to the wall and door. She bounced off the door frame despite trying to flinch away to her left. She tumbled sideways and rolled onto her back.

The fact that I had to spend the last few minutes coming up with that means that it was rather convoluted. I'll be honest, I'm still not clear how I justified it when I wrote it. I think the only reason I put you upside down was because I thought it would be amusing.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Waaaghpower on May 12, 2014, 07:04:16 PM
Wouldn't it make more sense if she had jumped forward in an attempted tackle, (Which was kinda my plan,) missed when Pinkie Pony dodged, and then rolled head-over-hooves when trying to recover?
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on May 12, 2014, 07:18:15 PM
That works better, let's go with that. Either way ends with Thunder in an awkward position as per her rolls, so I'm happy to change it to make it make more sense.

I don't suppose any of you know where KoM is? According to his profile, he hasn't been online for over a week. He's a bit busy grappling at the moment, so I don't really need his 3RR to write the next bit of combat, but I'd rather hear from him.

Yes they are. Pale is currently unconscious, one of your foes escaped and Plumber has returned. That should be worth a few posts of conversation, at least.

Sorry, I probably should have mentioned this earlier. Pale is unconscious, but otherwise unharmed. Unfortunately, he won't wake up any time soon on his own. As such, you need to try to wake him.

Once you've gotten through this area, I'll send you to a tavern or similar. Incidentally, this is roughly the halfway point of the story.

So, does anyone have any opinions on what to do with the guards?

No worries, it's just a little depressing when I have to shame people into posting. If activity doesn't pick up, I might just turn this into a story so people will at least know how it ends. If any of you have any ideas to get people actively posting again, please let me know.

As for your search, the desks and chests were checked along with everything else last post. The whole place is very spartan, very professional and very military. The only items of interest were the ones I mentioned, which means that the keys are not present.

I have no excuse. I've just been putting it off. I'll let my actions speak for myself from now on.

That said, I think it's interesting to note that I've been in this game long enough for the character I'm playing to no longer exist. She's evolved quite a lot since I first joined. Kind of cool to look into the past like this and remember how things used to be.

I'm pestering Plumber to return as well. His work schedule is erratic at best, but I've got tomorrow off, so as soon as he gets home I'll remind him that the show will indeed go on.

Ah procrastination. As someone that once waited until three months after the deadline to start a piece of university coursework (and got away with it), I can't exactly judge you for that.

Also, if Plumber can return soon that would be incredibly helpful. I built a few plot points around him that I'd rather not waste.

You can certainly try to melt the door, but I have to warn you that the odds are not in your favour. Even if you can succeed, you'll likely take a few hours doing it unless you roll perfectly. And you could break the lock, but all that would do is make it impossible to pick.

What about the hinges, or do I assume it opens inwards?

I'm sure there is a solution to this that involves fire or ridiculous amounts of heat :P
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on June 29, 2014, 07:26:58 PM
It's tilted backwards, and opens upwards and outwards. It's too heavy to lift though, so melting the hinges would not help at all. Besides, the molten metal would might weld the door closed.

I can think of one way through the door that requires heat, but it's a bit more subtle than burning through stuff.

Heat up a suitably sized piece of metal, insert into keyhole, somehow manipulate the metal into the correct shape, withdraw and cool/quench metal, reinsert metal as key?

Post by: Mabbz on June 29, 2014, 10:38:03 PM
I see that being more likely to break the lock than open it, so again near perfect dice rolling required. I think I should probably wait a little longer before giving away more hints though. I want you to try your methods rather than just asking me if they'll work.

examining the workings of the door. Plumber's got a bunch of basic tools any possibility to dis-assemble the lock or remove the hinges thus making the door a non barrier. exposed screws and such?

Sorry for the delay, I'm having internet troubles at the moment. Have an intelligence test (I rolled for you so I can tell you what the result means now, rather than you having to wait another six days for my internet to work properly):

Plumber's examination of the door mechanism. (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4559062/)

There is no way to disassemble the door from this side. However, you have been able to determine what most of the pipes do. There is one main pipe that provides the majority of the pressure that opens the door. If you can increase the pressure inside that pipeby enough, the door should open.

This appear to just be a maintenance hatch in case of pipe leaks or similar problems. There's only one valve, and it's labelled "Shutoff"; presumably it closes all valves to stop the flow of water until repairs can be made. Using a screwdriver you could also remove entire sections of the pipe if you wanted.

Me and KoM had the idea to have a little celebratory Mabbz-love-fest in honor of our GM who, honestly, has been way more patient, accommodating, and creative with us than anyone ever should need to be. We were going to get all soppy and stuff, too. But Mask of Mabbzness is going on vacation. What a shame. :P

No but seriously you're a great GM, and I wish my other GMs were as good as you. That's all.

I feel I owe you all an explanation of why I've neglected D&D for two weeks now, despite having been on 2S daily. I've had enough time on my hands to give you something if I tried, but my main problem is lack of motivation. Whenever I think about moving the story along I remember that according to my plans, we're only at the halfway point (give or take). I've started thinking of the RP as work, and as every teacher I ever had would tell you, I'm not good at self-motivated work.

In short, I don't know if I can continue the RP. I can try, but I'll probably have to put long breaks between posts (like this two week break) to avoid feeling like I have a deadline. Trouble is that we have enough problems with people not posting much as is, and I'm worried some or all of you would give up on D&D rather than wait for me.

The alternative is that I attempt to write up a summary of where I was hoping to go from here, or possibly even write the rest of the story myself. Honestly, I'd rather try and continue, but if this RP dies the I'd like to give you all some kind of closure rather than leaving your characters in limbo.

Thank you all for sticking with me this far. Please let me know if you're willing to put up with further delays.

Personally, I have trouble dedicating myself to most things. Art, work, even stuff like this which is supposed to be fun... it's a struggle for me to focus for long enough to get stuff done, and that really hurts me bad. I've been slowly getting better about it, but it's still very much a problem.

On the side of things that aren't me bitching about personal problems, my character as she is in this RP doesn't actually exist anymore. She's grown to become something else entirely. I have no problem with playing her, but I don't relate to her as much as I once did.

I like this game, I really do. I think you're a great GM, and I feel bad for all the crap that's happened to your story so far. I think a problem is the platform... I personally don't use 2S for much else other than this and even then my damn computer likes to not load the site these days.

Something something trail off.

I personally would like to continue, but I also do want to find out where the stories goes. I would like to continue RP'ing, but if it feels like work, then perhaps doing a final story post ould be best.

I would be fine continuing at a slower pace if you'd like I'm still enjoying it but i'd also not object to it going story mode either. It's been a good ride either way

You've got nothing to apologise for mate, this has been excellent fun. A forum isn't the most conductive place to an active RP and all things considered I think we've done quite well. If you want to continue then by all means I will try to post here consistently, but if you want to go into story mode then go right ahead. :)

So the overall consensus is continue if possible, but I can go story mode if I don't feel up to continuing? Fair enough. Thanks for your support, and I will try and get the next bit up soonish.

Oh, wow, it's been a month since my last RP post? I know I said I was taking a break, but that was longer than I realised. Have some silly ponies to make up for it.

By the way, Pale, Plumber, Thunder and Brute have a -2 to their intelligence. Cynder, Backlash and Hazy have a -5. If you have an idea on what's going on or what to do, you have to make and intelligence test or you get distracted and have to post something silly.

Under your stat. Normally there'd be a second roll to see how amazing/terrible your success/fail, but that's not required this time.

No table this time. Just imagine what your character would do if they were drunk.

-5 to the dice roll improves the chance of getting under my Stat, whilst reducing the Stat increases the chance of failure.

If I weren't so unconscious right now, I'd probably try for a third quote.

Nevertheless, it happened and now you're at the back. I'm not changing it (although, imagine if Hazy had been flirting with Thunder and Backlash heard...)

Sorry, teleportation is a bit beyond you lot. Besides, a vault like this is bound to have some kind of anti-teleportation spells and stuff. The idea is that it keep ponies out, which also means that while inside, all forms of magical communication are blocked. That doesn't matter too much, since you have no method of communication with you. To contact Luna, you'd have to go outside, sleep, and hope that she checks your dreams.

I don't recall if I mentioned this, but she is scheduled to check up on you every night at 8pm, retrying every hour until she makes contact. Since the time at the moment is about 3pm, you'll have to keep the Elements safe until then.

I'm curious... This is in the past, right? So...
Why is the Element of Magic/Friendship here? There were only ever 5, the 6th one didn't come into being until Twilight Sparkle came along.

EDIT: Well, only 5 were ever known of. Only Celestia was aware of the element of Friendic. Magship. Whatever. It wasn't just hidden, it was unknown.

Don't you remember the S4 opening two-parter? You see Luna and Celestia imprisoning Discord, and they have six jewels. The only thing technically wrong, is that there wasn't one that looked like Princess Sparkle butts sparkled butt :P

Post by: Mabbz on September 18, 2014, 07:33:16 AM
Actually, the element of magic was present in both of the flashbacks of Celestia fighting Luna and the Sisters fighting Discord. Admittedly in the Nightmare Moon flashback it was in a stone sphere at first, but Celestia pulled the gemstone out of the sphere almost immediately. My explanation is that Luna's fall to evil hid the spark of magic in their friendship (encasing the element in stone as a metaphore of this). Celestia however was able to see the spark in NMM, even if it was hidden, and she managed to use it to power the elements. She used her love for her sister to try and free her, but a one-sided friendship wasn't enough to do so. And so, she resorted to plan B; banish to the moon (I have an explanation for why the elements did that too, but it's long and complicated and irrelevent).

That's my headcanon anyway. Feel free to dispute it at your leisure. Debating is fun!

I forgot that they were used on Discord, but I was still fairly sure that the Element of Magicship was a secret known only to the princesses and other high beings. Otherwise it seems weird that no history books would have remembered its existence (despite remembering the other 5,) and that Nightmare Moon was surprised when Twilight used it against her.

No big, just an oddity.

1000 years is a long time to forget things, and it's entirely possible that Magic was a secret. Perhaps the princesses only told us lot about it so he'd know what to look for. Come to think of it, nopony has mentioned Magic yet, so it's possible that all you know is that there are 6 elements, not what they are.

Some time ago now I read a story called "Stardust (http://www.fimfiction.net/story/100455/stardust)" (an XCom/MLP crossover. Twilight gets teleported to earth at the worst possible time). At one point Twilight and some humans start playing a game of liar's cards, using it as a device for having light conversation. I'm not entirely sure how to do it here, but it could be useful for getting to know everyone's characters a bit better.

Liars Cards, as explained by Corporal Lana Jenkins
"That's right!"  Lana chirped. "Now for this game we shuffle the deck and then deal the cards to the players.  The game's name is called 'Liars Cards' and the goal is to drop cards face down in the pile in the center, counting up from one to ten, then jack, queen and king.  Once King is reached, the count resets to one."

"I think I understand, but the odds of any one player having enough of each card to add the right one for each turn is..."  Twilight started until the connection with the game's name occurred, "Oh, you're supposed to drop cards even if you don't have the needed number?  That's why it's called 'Liars Cards', right?"

"Right again!  But here's the catch, if you suspect that someone is lying you call them on it!  If they are lying they pick up the entire stack.  If they're not lying, then you have to pick up the entire stack," Lana further explained.  "What makes this a conversation game is that the person who turns out right in one of these accusations gets to pick the topic to discuss until another accusation is made.  So, Twilight, would you like to play a game?"

Twister sounds most fun, and most likely to truly get the characters in an awkward position. :P

Spin the bottle could easily just be truth or dare, which is a bit boring, and just doing the kissing one just seems weird with all the Players being dudes, even if their Characters aren't :P

I've got this image in my head of the entire group tangled in a big ball, unable to free themselves, when somepony comes in. Luna, perhaps. Or Fog Dancer, she'd be too busy laughing to attack you, until she realises that the Elements are stuck somewhere in there and has to start digging.

Anyways, here's how the games will work:

If you play twister, then it's agility tests with a +3 to your agility characteristic. Make witty taunts, get in awkward positions and make your failures embarassing.

If you play cards, then it's intelligence tests with a +3 to you characteristic. Play whatever game you want, but maybe a few wagers would be fun.

If you play spin the bottle, it's truth or dare. Don't bother rolling; you might not have a good idea for the pony you get, so I'll let you decide who it landed on. A few truth questions could be a good way to learn about everypony, and the dares could be amusing.

Whatever happens, Hazy is joining in. Since Walrus Man hasn't been online since September 16th, he is hereby NPC'd until further notice. In other words, anyone can write up his actions for the purposes of the games.

Thunder has nothing to wager, so cards might leave her out unless you play for matchsticks.

I think under normal spin the bottle rules, Thunder goes next, but I'd rather avoid having to wait on one person where possible. As such, screw order and just spin it whenever. We'll still have to wait on people for answers or the results of dares, but that's a bit more managable. If somepony takes too long to answer (say... three days?) then someone else can step in and write their response.

I would say you pick for your victim, partly to avoid a load of redundant posts that basically consist of the words "Truth" or "Dare", and partly because you might have a specific truth you want to ask or a specific dare to inflict on someone. That said, if you want to let the other person pick that's fine too.

As an alternative, you could write both a truth question and a dare into a post, and let the other person choose which is canon, as demonstrated below:

QuoteThe bottle span and landed on Rarity. Twilight grinned evilly.

"Truth."

"Who's sexier, me or Applejack?"




The bottle span and landed on Rarity. Twilight grinned evilly.

"Dare."

"I dare you to put ice cream on your horn."

Then Rarity could choose which one actually happened.

Aaaaaand, there goes the light hearted mood we'd set up. Incidentally, Hazy did not know the story; he was expecting a nice easy story of self discovery. I won't write up a post yet, partly because I want to see how other ponies might react, and partly because it 2am and I don't know why I'm still awake.

 :(

I included that bit about Hazy hopefully to make her thought process a little clearer to you guys. Me and her operate on different levels, which makes RPing a lot more tactile but also less accessible (because sometimes it's hard for me to switch gears)
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on November 06, 2014, 08:48:09 AM
Oh, I'm not complaining. I pretty much assumed that you knew Hazy didn't know, and I like a good roleplaying opportunity (it's nice to have some personal drama that doesn't revolve around Thunder and Plumber for once) and considering Hazy is kinda sorta in a relationship with Backlash (to quote facebook, it's complicated), he's gonna has some interesting emotional conflicts to deal with.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on November 09, 2014, 09:40:56 AM
Heh, I was really expecting Thunder to say something unhelpful for some reason. I'm sure Hazy is relieved to be proved wrong (I don't mind either, although I spent some time on those comebacks ;)).

Incidentally, only two ponies died over the course of the mission and Thunder doesn't know about the one she killed. Also, I'm not entirely sure she knows about the other either. Hazy hid it before anypony else saw it, but the Backlash did kill the other pony in front of Thunder (although she was a little distracted at the time, so she might not have noticed), and that particular kill was never spoken of again.

EDIT: I just did some checking, and Thunder is under the impression that the other killed pony got away too.

Quote from: Waaaghpower on February 21, 2014, 05:39:20 PM
"What?" Thunder said, surprised. "H-how long did it take you to round 'em up? Besides, we still had Backlash's captive, so you guys had to let at least somepony get away."
She sighed. "Well, did we get any good loot from anypony? Or anywhere in the building?"

So are we still doing truth or dare, but with added drinking, or is it just drinking? If the latter, I could fast forward time to... let's say 4 drinks time when we've all calmed down somewhat (or gotten riled up, depending on what kind of drunk you are). If the former, who wants to go next? If something else, what?

Hazy already mentioned (in his head at least) that he planned not to drink, just in case. That said, considering the circumstances, he's likely to act similarly to Cynder; drink a little to join in, but not too much.

Oh, and believe it or not, there are no shenanigans - magical or otherwise -  involved at present.

On a random side note, I have at least three possible routes that I'm considering taking this story. All of them are equally viable, and the point in the story where I have to choose will come up just as soon as our characters settle down for the night. I kinda assumed that one or more of them would be ruled out by some choice you lot made, but they weren't and now I have to choose where to take this story next. I may just roll a dice :P

As levitating myself would be a very weird thing to do (I'm not a baby with bursts of magic afterall) what modifer would I need to have?

If Waaaghpower was RP'ing drunkness and it is just Hoof Stand whilst levitating, I assume its just Rp the result :P
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on November 26, 2014, 10:14:49 AM
Levitating yourself is very hard, thanks to Newton's third law. In ordinary levitation, you'd have the opposing force going directly on your horn. Obviously that isn't possible when levitating yourself (or lifting anything too heavy), so you have to redirect the force via a second spell, which requires much greater concentration. In short, -6 modifier normally, but since you're at least a little tipsy it'd be -7.

If it's just levitating the keg while doing a hoofstand then you can either just RP the result or you can roll, whichever you prefer. No modifier's in this case; levitation is pretty simple.

Only, you know, levitating instead of doing a hoof stand. For the sake of not being impossible, I'm going to say he can still stand on your hooves, but he'll have to use magic to stay balanced and support his weight.

Updated my post. If I wrote Thunder or Pale Ale out of character, do tell me. I'm assuming Pale Ale has been keeping silent track of how much has been drunk, so guess how much was in the keg before, and could dicern the remaining contents easily.

Post by: Mabbz on December 03, 2014, 02:30:44 PM
Here's an idea. For any remaining truths or dares, post them in here rather than the RP thread (just post something like "I dare Hazy to cuddle Pale"), and then the victim can RP being asked as well as answering or carrying out the dare. That way, we can just put a few time skips in our posts to avoid waiting for other people all together, with people posting their responses when they have the time.

To use the above example, if someone did post that here in the OoC thread, I would simply post the following in the RP thread:

QuoteA few minutes later, the bottle landed on Hazy. "Give me a hug!" yelled a remarkable inebriated Pale Ale.

Hazy stumbled a little as he wandered over and glomped Pale, nuzzling him affectionately. It was adorable.

You have a few more days, then it's over and I move us on. Make the most of it.

Name: Princess Luna (Diarch of Equestria, Bringer of Harmony, Queen of the Night, Mistress of the Moon, Dream Walker, The Smaller One, Discord's Bane, etc.)
Pony Type: Alicorn (all three racial abilities, plus a nice magical power boost that grants a +3 to the second roll in any magic based stat check) and Equinomorphic Ponification (immortal as the moon, able to effortlessly control aspects of the night)
S: 14
E: 16
A: 15
M: 17

Wait, do we have to roll under or over our stats? I assumed ove r for my rolls, though with my Agility, Cynder would be very fast :P

Under for the first and over for the second. Normally you would have failed both, but your cutie mark bonus let you pass the first test.

I did try looking for the rules on it, but I couldn't find it. Do you have a permalink to the rolling rules?
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on December 15, 2014, 09:53:05 PM
Here you go. I've also put them in the first post of this thread, to avoid any further confusion.

Stat Checks!
Stat Checks!

1) roll a d20.
2) if you rolled under the relevant stat, you passed.
3) roll another d20.
4) this result determines the how well everything went. For example, getting around 10 is average, so if you passed then did what you wanted fairly effectively, while if you failed then nothing bad happened, you just didn't manage what you wanted. Lower numbers mean things didn't go according to plan (bad failure or gone horribly right), while higher numbers mean thing turned out well (great success or "well, it's not what I had in mind, but it worked!")

Modifiers are usually applied to your stat rather than your roll (so a positive modifier is a good thing). Here's a few common ones:
Cutie mark bonus: +3
Tiredness: -1 for a bit tired (late night), -2 for very tired (too much exercise), -3 for exhausted (literally falling asleep)
Injury: varies between -1 to -5. Check with me.
Adrenaline: +1 if you're in a life or death situation.

No one has anything to say, in character or out, about the current situation? Come on, I've just revealed the main villian; I want to write some evil gloating and explain what Luna's plans were. Maybe I should just do a monologue.

On a related note, would trying to cause any kind of weather work off of Magic? I would assume it would, but I wanted to ask. (And what about trying to break the sound barrier, as per Thunder's Cutie Mark? I would guess Agility, but again I'm not sure.)

Yeah, I know, traitor Luna is hardly an original idea ::)

Still, I figured if I didn't make it obvious from the start and delved a little into how it happened (if you delve, anyway), it wouldn't be so cliched. There's also the whole alternate universe thing; if you break away from show canon I will write an ending that reflects that.

Possibly. Your actions could ensure a nice, canon end. It's even conceivable that you could do better than canon, if you can somehow reform Luna or something.

Also, remember how you killed two of Brute's friends?

Magic on all counts except tornados, but if you do something with thunderbolts then you get your cutie mark bonus. Tornados require you to pass both a magic test and an agility test.

In fairness, I threw a red herring at you in the form of Sombra and generally did everything I could to avoid making it obvious. Incidentally, if you think you can spot any plot holes (like Sombra being defeated before NMM in the show), then feel free to ask (preferably in character). Odds are, I actually have an explanation ready.

Oh, fun fact. You know how in the comics it's revealed that Luna was possessed by the nightmare forces to become Nightmare Moon? Well, that is canon for this story, but it hasn't happened yet. Eternal night is not currently her goal. More like 72 hour night.

You make a good point about the Royal We. I could make some remark about how she subconsciously recognises that she isn't representing her nation in this, or I could just edit her speech. I'll decide later.

It doesn't really have to be that complicated.  All Thunder needs is a tiny hole to get through, you wouldn't need to retake control or even make it harmless, just briefly open it. (I was thinking it would be easier to just put out the fire with rain.)

By my understanding,  you'd be at +3 for it being Cutie-mark related, -1 for being tired, and -something (Probably -2 because you are fighting somepony else's magic. There may also be a bonus because you are taking Luna by surprise/she's distracted, and because you're not trying to do anything sustained, but that'd be a question for Mabbz.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on December 19, 2014, 11:35:45 PM
All correct except for the -2 for going against Luna. The modifier is half the difference rounded up, so in this case it's -4. I'll give you a +1 for being sneaky, so overall it comes out as -1 (i.e. you need a 9 or less on the first roll).

Give me a few minutes though, I need to respond to Backlash in the RP thread.

I don't know, which means you get to decide.

Also, yeah, Brute Force was lying. Sorry. In an amusing twist, you remember the whole thing with the warehouse and Backlash's Playcolt magazines? When I did a test to see if the lie was successful, I wasn't testing Backlash's lie. I was testing Fog Dancer's ability to keep a straight face while she let you off the hook.

I have one more big question but I'll see if I can find a good opportunity to ask it IC before I ask OOC. After all, acting is more fun than reading.

EDIT: Also, Laughter's the one I've got. I picked the light blue one because it matched my eyes.

Full list:

Backlash - Laughter
Thunder - Generosity
Hazy - Honesty
Plumber - ?
Cynder('s is currently in Brute Force's possession) - ?
Pale - ?

So I guess pick one from Loyalty, Kindness, or Magic.

Somewhat interesting to note is that the Elements in the S1E1 intro feature a green one, and the Element of Magic is purple instead of magenta. Going by the colors on the Tree, though, and the ancient ones from S4E2, the colors are pink, purple, magenta, orange, light blue, and red.

Well, that was fun. It's about time I got to write a character break down into tears of self loathing rather than leaving it all to you.

Oh also, in case it wasn't clear, Luna still has the Element of Laughter (ironically, considering).

Oh, and I have no problem with Backlash going off to try and find Luna. In fact I quite like the idea; I was toying with the possibility of doing writing a scene in which the guards find her anyway, and I'd rather have a PC present than purely NPCs. You don't have to go though, I can work with this either way.

So wait, why did Luna have us go to get the Elements from at least one party that was already in possession of them? (Considering that Brute's group and the guards might be separate) That seems like an awful large waste of resources. Couldn't she have just kept the Elements hidden, or had some of Brute's group move them without even involving us? Basically, why the hell are we even here?

The Elements were never stolen in the first place. You stole them from the actual Royal Guard in those caves. That's why you were chased from the inn; you'd just stolen the Elements and now every Royal Guard in Canterlot that wasn't in on Luna's plan was after you. The only ponies in on Luna's plan were the four in the house, Cloud Storage (in the warehouse) and Luna's six personal guards the you just met.

In Luna's defence, she never thought anypony would die. She figured that the guards would try to capture you alive while you lot, mostly being civilians, wouldn't have it in you to kill deliberately (in fact, ponies in general are unlikely to kill deliberately). In fairness, she wasn't far wrong either. The two deaths were in a fight that wasn't supposed to take place anyway, one was an accident while the other was Backlash's protective/vengeful streak. Luna never really took into account the possibility of accidents.

Also, Merry Christmas! I'm unlikely to post again until boxing day.

Yeah, call me transparent, but I really dislike schemers. Even if I can be a bit of one myself. After all, we hate in others what we hate in ourselves, right?

A funny thing I've noticed across many years of various games, from this to IRC games to casual RP, is that my character always accomplishes what she sets out to do, but her involvement comes with heavy collateral. This happens so consistently that I'm pretty sure it could be an Aesop fable or something at this point: if you let yourself be guided by emotions, you'll have the drive to do anything, but you won't have the foresight to prevent tragedy.

That's correct as far as I'm aware. I'll also be hanging on to my element, for now, since I'm having trouble trusting everyone else in the group right now. Since I was just lied to by at least one person in the group. And also we have had some real difficulty with backstabbing here.

Happy 2015 everypony! Let's get this show back on the road!

Random encounters were kind for once. Nothing bad, and Thunder bagged a Princess. Sorry this hasn't really left anything for the rest of you to do (unless Plumber or Cynder want to chat), but that's what boring rolls get you.

I apologise for the wait, but Waaaghpower and I were RPing this bit privately. Now you get to see the fruits of our labour. Enjoy ;)

Oh, also, you may want to check the character sheet on the first page for Nightmare Sky's improved stats.

I'm basically playing Thunder NIGHTMARE SKY like a movie villain right now, and every good movie villain knows never to actually kill the protagonists when you can let them live and do it later/let fate decide. Thunder NIGHTMARE SKY has read to many trashy action novels.

Three rounds rapid from you, Hector. Nightmare Sky planned to ambush you even before you started chasing her. Waaaghpower, since the first of the three rounds you sent me was used as a sneak attack, I need one more round from you.

Also, a few things to clarify, in case it wasn't clear:

- Sky can change at will between her normal and nightmare forms. The nightmare form is bigger, but gets no advantages; it just looks cool.
- Sky is not an alicorn. I don't know if anyone thought she was, but she isn't. She is still a pegasus.

And finally, some stuff on weather manipulation and pegasus magic:
- Mostly it requires physical contact to pull of.
- Clouds can be magically modified, but it takes a minute and requires some knowledge of how to do it. Thunder was a weather pony so she knows some stuff.
- Modifications include, but are not limited to: hardening, electrifying, solidifying into shapes, sticking together, changing the temperature and dispersing into fog.
- Thunder clouds sometimes zap you. If you deliberately come into contact with one then you can use pegasus magic to repel the lightning; you only get zapped on a roll of a 1 on a d6. if you are forced into one then you have far less control; you are zapped on a 1-3.
- Pegasi have a higher resistance to electrical damage than other ponies.

Fight's up folks. Sky kept getting bad passes on her attacks but recovered quickly, so there were no major injuries. I was hoping that'd happen (I don't want any deaths this close to the end), and it seems the dice did too.

Well, Hazy either doesn't know or doesn't feel that it's his place to say, Plumber just hasn't responded for some reason and I was hoping not to have to answer with Pale; I'd like to leave the roleplaying to the players. Incidentally, Pale can be controlled by anyone to some extent, so you could write his answer yourself.

Sorry about the lack of action for you, but that's a danger of splitting the party. Hopefully I'll move it on to morning soon, and then you'll probably get a random encounter. Or maybe Nightmare Sky will make good on her threat against Plumber. Or maybe I'll do something else.

With cutie mark bonuses, Nightmare Sky would have need a natural twenty on the first roll to fail that. Still, I feel that fight's gone on long enough. I don't want to leave the rest of the group out too long, after all.

Incidentally, Nightmare Moon's stats have been added to the character sheet. They're actually the same as Luna's stats that I posted earlier, for various reason (one, I made her too powerful and two, when I wrote those stats I was planning on having Luna be NMM all along anyway. Having her give in to the Nightmare Forces on screen was a snap decision I made shortly before she ran off crying). On fun aspect of Luna being nerfed is that Nightmare Sky is actually slightly more agile than her.

Hooray! I'm faster than a Princess! I knew a little min-maxing during character creation would be worth it!

Incidentally, just so it's completely clear: Nightmare Sky currently looks like a terrified, injured, and exhausted Thunder Bolt, and she's making a beeline to rendezvous with the others as quickly as possible.

It's been less than half an hour. Be patient, princess. Your rule will begin soon.

Acutally, this reminds me of how last night both you and Hector had given me your three rounds and I was looking at the "Who's online" page watching you both hitting refresh. For my part, I watched a couple of youtube videos and then went to sleep, deciding to put off posting the fight until the morning. Aren't I cruel?




Oh, and on a more productive note, how do you plan to find the rest of the group?

Well, I know where they started, and I know where they were heading. I figured I would go back to where we split up, and then fly in the same direction they went, making a lot of noise and screaming for help. (And occasionally pausing to listen for them.) If I don't see them, I want them to see or hear me so they can stop me.

I prefer the term "Bastard". Although in my defence, I was tired and I probably would have screwed up somehow if I'd tried to post it after midnight.

I seem to recall my original plan was to have a fun little campaign that fit with the generally light tone of the show. It's gone impressively off the rails in that sense.

Plumber was meant to be the class clown. now I've written a good 4-5 incredibly depressing death scenes sometimes things don't go as planned. Honestly I'm gonna call Plumber alive and in a mental hospital or similar a happy ending for me. So here's hoping Plumbs doesn't get killed  :P

Never heard of it before now. I'm just bad at coming up with names, so I threw something together that sound vaguely relevant and suitably mysterious.

I had no idea what I was watching when I saw that trailer for Midnight Mares. Is it... A fan movie? I guess? The animation looks... Not bad, but not right. Not MLP. Everything looks wrong. I can't tell what the plot is supposed to be about. WHAT IS HAPPENING? Is it... A backstory for Equestria? A parody? An alternate reality? Why are all the characters huge? Why does the background art style look nothing like the character model art style?

Don't worry, this one can wait. I might just PM you what I'm thinking, since it's also not super spoilery or important for your character, mostly. Ish. (And I trust that you won't let meta knowledge ruin things.) I don't know, though. Maybe I'll wait it out.

I hate metaplay probably more than is healthy, yes. But it's entirely up to you. This is like mini-hiatus, I'll take whatever I can get until the story moves along.

As for Midnight Mares, I think my favorite part was the main villain who looked like she just stumbled out of a Hot Topic after a long night of heavy drinking. Also the Street Fighter Movie-esque sound effects to go with her entirely powerless voice acting. Great stuff.

Fair enough, if you don't like Metaplay I'll keep my idea to myself. You'll figure it out when you rejoin the group.

She is, but previously the guards had said they remembered Cynder and Hazy, but not Backlash. I was thinking her occupation would be mostly unknown, making her a 'civilian' to most guards.

Fine, fine.

Sorry for not giving Backlash much to go on, but I can't have to find the rest of the other group until they finish their conversation. I'd try writing some small talk for Cloudy, but I'm bad at starting conversations. If you can start it (either as Backlash or Cloudy), I am happy to continue.

It feels very strange to RP another character interacting with my own. Please let me know, The IceMabbz Cometh, if I should edit to change the guards' behavior.
Yay, the nicknames are back!

Don't, you're post was fine. I think you thought the guards were royal guards though, when they were actually night guards. The royal guards are still unconcious at the edge of the forest. Also, Cloudy Daze makes four NPC with cloud related names (Fog Dancer, Hazy and Cloud Storage).

That is correct. Backlash is the sort of specialist that only gets brough out for special occasions, due to her unique talents and disposition.

Ah, yeah, I was a little lost on which ones exactly they were supposed to be. Are they still considered Royal Guard if they're Luna's guards? Mostly so I don't have to edit :D

Technically yes, they're all Royal Guard, split into the day and night guards (or Lunar and Solar, or whatever name you want). That said, the night guard tend to be more covert, taking on the role of the secret service and detective types, while the day guard are the army and police. This means that people mostly just mean the day guard when they talk about the royal guard.

Only real drama that could occur with cynder was if Luna threatens his wife :P

I'll admit I was half joking with my previous post. However, it could serve as a moment for Backlash to not come across as homicidal, or manslaughterous :P Give her a stallion who is willing to be there for her and other mushy shite like that XD

Hey wait, is Cloudy trying to steal Hazy's girl? Now I have to kill him!

To my (Cynders') understanding, Luna simply instructed that the Elements not fall into the wrong hands. Cynder is intelligent enough to know that eternal night and darkness is a very bad thing to happen, and so must stop Luna.

Well I'm not sure that Thunder's feelings for Backlash survived her new Nightmare-y-ness (I leave that up to Waaaghpower), but if they did then basically it looks like a tripod.

Anyways, Backlash can make her entrance at any time, and the rest of the group can talk to Swift until Backlash gets there. I imagine there'll be a lot of talking when she does...

Incidentally, about an hour has passed since Thunder went to sleep.

How long has it been, in-game, since Thunder went to sleep? (I assume that what took Thunder half a night of top-speed flying took longer for the guards at walking pace than the time it takes to briefly flirt, and the guards didn't start travelling until around when Thunder rejoined the group.) On a related note, what time is it exactly? And as a similar question for mechanical purposes, what is Nightmare Sky and everypony else's tiredness levels? (Even those who went to bed last night missed half a night's worth of sleep and woke up early in the morning.)

As for Backlash, there was a crush there, but after being scorned and feeling betrayed, Thunder mostly felt bitterness and self-loathing. Post-Nightmare, it's now bitterness and loathing of others.

Thunder went to sleep about one hour ago. It is now about 9am (give or take)

Her journey took longer because she went all the way out of the forest to where the whole group met Luna and then went towards Everfree City to find them. The guards went the quicker route of figuring out how far the others were likely to have travelled and going directly there (I sort of assumed that trained guards would have a better sense of direction than Sky). They were also faster because they had two pegasi scouting to find the group, rather than just one.

Sky and Backlash are very tired (-2 modifier) after their fight. Everyone else just had a late night, so they're only get a -1 modifier.

Fair enough, that's about what I expected, but...

Quote
Her journey took longer because she went all the way out of the forest to where the whole group met Luna and then went towards Everfree City to find them.

I'm confused... How far into the forest did Luna go, exactly? I know we had to search for several hours, (I assume 3 or so, judging by context,) but I didn't think we had actually flown that far into the forest. It's just, you know, it's a sprawling forest, and it takes a long time to search a small portion of it. (If Luna had actually flown several hours into the distance, I imagine it would have taken us days to find her.) I thought when flying back to where we first encountered Luna it wouldn't take much time at all. Here's kind of how I was picturing things:

(http://i.imgur.com/JqCS8nf.jpg)


So, the extra time heading back to the group would be minimal compared to the time actually following them. (Everything pictured could be upside down or on its side, I don't know if Everfree is North, East, South or West of us, but you get the idea.) I assume that Luna didn't fly towards Everfree when she left, since then there would be no reason to split up while we searched. Even assuming the worst cast scenario for timing, though, (Luna flew as in the same direction as Everfree, so Thunder was literally going backwards to find where the group met up,) I don't see how this would add much more than an hour to her travel relative to the guards. (I guess I also don't know how long it took Thunder to track down the group, but judging by the order of events I assumed she started looking for the group at around 3 in the morning, and since she found them right after dawn, (I'm guessing 7-ish?) it would be around a four-hour flight.

All of this is a roundabout way of saying, I agree with the levels of tiredness, but I am confused as to how everything happened as far as timing goes. What is wrong with my guesswork and stuff? 

(I'll have a post up in a moment, I'm just trying to make sense of everything in my brain while I do so.)

Her journey took longer because she went all the way out of the forest to where the whole group met Luna and then went towards Everfree City to find them.

I'm confused... How far into the forest did Luna go, exactly? I know we had to search for several hours, (I assume 3 or so, judging by context,) but I didn't think we had actually flown that far into the forest. It's just, you know, it's a sprawling forest, and it takes a long time to search a small portion of it. (If Luna had actually flown several hours into the distance, I imagine it would have taken us days to find her.) I thought when flying back to where we first encountered Luna it wouldn't take much time at all. Here's kind of how I was picturing things:

Spoiler
(http://i.imgur.com/JqCS8nf.jpg)

So, the extra time heading back to the group would be minimal compared to the time actually following them. (Everything pictured could be upside down or on its side, I don't know if Everfree is North, East, South or West of us, but you get the idea.) I assume that Luna didn't fly towards Everfree when she left, since then there would be no reason to split up while we searched. Even assuming the worst cast scenario for timing, though, (Luna flew as in the same direction as Everfree, so Thunder was literally going backwards to find where the group met up,) I don't see how this would add much more than an hour to her travel relative to the guards. (I guess I also don't know how long it took Thunder to track down the group, but judging by the order of events I assumed she started looking for the group at around 3 in the morning, and since she found them right after dawn, (I'm guessing 7-ish?) it would be around a four-hour flight.

All of this is a roundabout way of saying, I agree with the levels of tiredness, but I am confused as to how everything happened as far as timing goes. What is wrong with my guesswork and stuff? 

(I'll have a post up in a moment, I'm just trying to make sense of everything in my brain while I do so.)
In universe, the reason is that it's hard to go in a straigh line in a forest. This meant that you had to do a lot of zigzagging to make sure you found the group, which added a lot of time. The guards had twice the ponypower and a better idea of where to look, which can account for a lot of time. Oh, and Sky wasn't going full speed; she had just been in a fight after a long day.

Honestly though, the main reason is that it's convenient storytelling  :P




Anyways, I have work now so I can't post Swift's reply. See you in three hours or so.

I meant 'Full speed' as in 'Travelling as fast as possible.' Like how runners don't travel as fast as possible in a race. (You know, like in Fall Weather Friends!) But yeah, that explanation makes sense.

Post by: Mabbz on January 13, 2015, 10:24:03 PM
Have I ever gone more than three posts without making a silly mistake like that? Fixed.

I've decided to share some information with you. I misled you all about Hazy's cutie mark; his special talent isn't technically illusion. It's the far more generic talent of lying. When ponies find out, they tend to be a little suspicious so he routinely says it's just illusions. The princesses and some of the high ranking members of the guard know though.

One of my plans was to have Hazy run off in the night with the elements and leave you lot to be arrested. One of the princesses would then tell you his secret and send you after him. You'd catch up with him, drag him to Luna and he'd reveal he knew Luna was NMM all along and was trying to prevent the eternal night. Luna would be revealed as the villian by killing him. I decided against it for various reasons.

Anyways, this talent means he's good at seeing through lies, and also that your characters likely wont realise that he's wary of them. I just thought I'd explain why he's not far off the mark. I've been rolling intelligence tests for him to check for deception, and his cutie mark bonus means he's rolling fairly well.

Hazy's cutie mark story
For fun, here's what he would have said if you'd asked about his cutie mark in that earlier game of thruth or dare. It's based on a true story of me in university.

"Well..." said Hazy, looking embarrassed. "I rarely did my homework at school, I was always coming up with excuses but teachers noticed the trend. Then I moved to a new school and with all new teachers I tried again, only now I had more experience. There was a piece of work that I had to do; it contributed to my final grade and we were told that if it was late it wouldn't be accepted. I said I had given it in, and convinced them that it must have gotten lost in all their other papers. Then when they asked for another copy, I made them think I had one that I was searching for. Then they gave me more some time to do it from scratch. I didn't even start the work until two months after the deadline. When I finally handed it in, they were a bit suspicious but I put on a very honest face and they gave me the benefit of the doubt."

Hazy sighed. "It was all going flawlessly, until as the teacher was putting the work away I started thinking about how amazing it was that I'd gotten away with it. I thought to myself, 'maybe lying should be my special talent'. And suddenly there was a little flash and I got my cutie mark. The teacher noticed and tore my work in half. Worst timing ever."

Nope. After all, that doesn't prove that somepony is lying; a changeling or something could have attacked them both. Anyway, for all Hazy knows the guards could be evil. They are Luna's personal guards after all.

My question (if I knew it IC, which I don't :( ) would be, "How the hell did you survive an entire night with Nightmare Backlash without fleeing to the guards for safety?"

But of course, gotta be naive and trusting. Quite a terrible flaw for a spy to have, really.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Mabbz on January 14, 2015, 12:11:13 PM
One good way to answer that is that Thunder is a lot quicker than Backlash. She could easily outrun you, even if you went Nightmare, so she could have flown away at top speed, gotten lost and managed to find the rest of the group instead.

Oh and incidentally, one of the two dead sisters was an earth pony.

Post by: Mabbz on January 14, 2015, 01:12:37 PM
Sunbeam was the unicorn. Guiding Light was an earth pony with tailblades and a rapier with mouth grip. I was intending her to be very dangerous in melee, while her sister was very dangerous at range. Then she got smashed by Thunder first round of combat, and never got the chance to do anything.

Cynder gave his to Brute, who immediately gave it to Luna. Thunder gave her's to Luna as well, so you should have four. I haven't been keeping track of who got what though, aside from the fact that Hazy had Honesty (ironically).

Full list:

Backlash - Laughter
Thunder - Generosity
Hazy - Honesty
Plumber - ?
Cynder('s is currently in Brute Force's possession) - ?
Pale - ?

I ended up with Cynder's and Brute/Luna ended up with mine, so I have Loyalty and Luna has Laughter.

I'm going on the assumption that the elements have been the big ass balls we see in Season 1. Should assume thats its the smaller crystals we see in season 3?

I don't see Hazy having Loyalty as ironic, as Cynder apprently had Laughter, and he isn't much of a joker :P

It's the season 3 crystals. The big balls probably wouldn't fit in your saddlebags.

Hazy had Honesty, not Loyalty. Honesty is ironic, considering he got his cutie mark for lying. Waaaghpower thought Thunder had Loyalty, which is also pretty ironic.

Having said that, it doesn't matter that much who has what element. None of you are Element Bearers, and they only work if you have all six anyway. The only way they'll be used is if you get all of them to Celestia.

They haven't really though to about it. They still think of Luna as a good pony who's made some mistakes. As her guards, it's their job to protect her, so currently they feel that finding her is the top priority, as well as ensuring the safety of everypony involved (so that she doesn't get hurt even more) and ensuring the safety of the Elements. When they meet Nightmare Moon, they will have to make a choice. I was originally just gonna flip a coin or something, but now they have actual characters I'm not sure I should leave it to fate.

The introduction of an evil pegasus that's stealing the Elements and threatening civillians complicates matters. Should they protect the group and/or the Elements? Continue searching for Luna? Hunt down the nightmare? I, and by extension they, haven't decided yet. I'll do a post for them soon, once they've made up their minds.

I love you guys. You make me laugh almost as much as this Harry Potter fanfic I'm reading. Speaking of which, you should totally read it. Basic summary: Harry is expecting his first child with Ginny, when for various reasons he gets transported back into his 11 year old body. He resolves to beat Voldemort with fewer deaths this time, and also to mess with everyone a lot.

So, does Hazy have anything to say about Plumber's injury, or Cynder and Thunder sneaking into the woods to make out TO DISCUSS PROBLEMS or anything?
Does Plumber want to answer Thunder's question?
Does Cynder wonder what the capital of Assyria is?
Will we reveal the secret identity of Backlash the Brave?

I keep wanting to have a discussion with the Night Guards about night watching. However I'm not entirely sure what Mabbz' plan is, or if I'd get the characters right. Anything else Cynder would do is just take first night watch or settle in to sleep if the Night Guards are taking over that.

As I understand it, the plan is to rest for a few hours, then travel as a group to Canterlot, and if somepony attacks then Thunder will fly off with the Elements. I would have moved us along by now, but I've been busy with real life nonsense lately.

It's still morning at the moment, so I figured you'd have a few hours rest and then try to make at least some progress before tomorrow. As for chatting with the guards, I could do their side of the conversation, although that would take a while. Alternatively, you could do the whole conversation and either post it or PM it to me, and then if there's anything wrong I could tell you and you could edit.

Certainly. Since Backlash knows what she's looking for and isn't under any time pressure, it'll take an intelligence test at +5 to find the correct herbs. As for the second roll of the test, here's a guide:

High Pass: find plenty of the plants.
Mid Pass: find enough of the plants.
Low Pass: only find one or two of the necessary plant's.

High Fail: find other plants that will do the job.
Mid Fail: don't find anything useful.
Low Fail: find the wrong plants (nothing harmful, just a minor irritant or at worst something like poison joke) and accidentally use that instead.

Also, as I understand it, the plan is to rest for a few hours (probably until shortly after lunch), then travel as a group to Canterlot, and if somepony attacks then Thunder will fly off with the Elements. I'f that's wrong in any regard, please let me know.

Seriously though, three rounds rapid. Also a reminder; non combat options are allowed as your rounds (like Fluttershy yelling at the rest of the group to stop when they faced a manticore). Oh, and no, this manticore isn't injured. I'm not that unoriginal.

Heeey, not fair! Using the Night Guard to take dibs on the watch lets you meta-knowledge-prevent Nightmare Sky from doing anything without actually taking a hit to your character. I call shenanigans. Partly because this interferes with my plans, partly because I'm pretty darn sure you'd never post something like that if you didn't have any meta-knowledge.

Maabbbbz! Narric's not bein' fair!

(Also, shouldn't the Night Guard be equally if not more tired if than most anypony else, except maybe Thunder and Backlash? They've been up as long as everypony, whether or not they're used to staying up at night.)

Everything you've said is true, but as you pointed out, Sky is more tired than most of the group. Also, she's a civillian that panicked and fled at the sight of a manticore, and Hazy suspects her. In this whole group of nine ponies, five of whom are members of the guard, it's pretty inevitable that somepony is going to mess up your schemes. So I'm afraid I'm going to have to allow this. You could always try to stealth kill the guard while everyone else sleeps.

Fair enough, though I don't see why having an easily frightened guard would be a problem if all she has to do is wake everypony up.

Anyhow, the Stealth Kill idea just might work. :/


Where would be the easiest place for Thunder to get a knife or a sword? Wingblades seem like the equivalent of a lance or a pike: Fine weapons, but no good at stabbing or slitting throats quietly.

Post by: Mabbz on February 13, 2015, 07:32:20 PM
Hmm... I haven't kept a very close eye on everyponies equipment, so here's a vague rundown based from memory.

- Cynder has a knife and a sword, though I'm not sure where he keeps them (probably on his person).
- All three night guards will have knives, probably on their person. Theft would be difficult, but you could try to sweet talk the one you try to kill. Cloudy has a rapier which might be useful.
- Backlash also has a rapier.
- Plumber has screwdrivers.

Also, here's the guards equipment. Their stats are all about ten, I haven't come up with anything special but most generic royal guards have been flat tens throughout.

Cloudy Daze: Wingblades, rapier, steel boots, knife, standard night guard armour (see Luna Eclisped)

Leather Wing: Wingblades, heavy, spiked steel boots, knife, custom night guard armour (same as regular, plus leather wing protection).

Swift Shadow: Wingblades, tailblades (of the whippy, slicey kind, not spikes), knife, standard night guard armour

Nah you had Generosity, I documented it briefly in a post about 10 pages back.

Quote from: HectorSmash on December 20, 2014, 01:55:20 PM
Full list:

Backlash - Loyalty
Thunder('s is currently in Nightmare Moon's possession) - Generosity
Hazy - Honesty
Plumber - Kindness, for the sake of filling in blanks
Cynder('s is currently in Nightmare Moon's possession) - Laughter
Pale - Magic, as Plumber above

I ended up with Cynder's and Brute/Luna ended up with mine, so I have Loyalty and Luna has Laughter.

From a few pages back. I took the liberty of updating it to its most recent state, even though I initially had Laughter and Cynder had Loyalty, for example.

Now I get to play the fun game of figuring out how/with whom I should spend the night, among at least three potential suitors. Oh boy!

On another note, she had pretty much given up hope of ever finding her equipment again. The forest was large and living, and some animal or another would have surely whisked her weapon and armor away by now. Not that she ever did any good with them, anyway.

She took it off before she went flying to look for Luna. Way back when I first made her, I added as a little footnote that she's a weak flyer and can't fly for long when she's geared up. So before she left, she had to disrobe and leave most of her stuff behind - and she never really had a good opportunity to go looking for it since.

I would imagine so. Also, apropros of nothing, pickpocketing is an agility test, with a -1 penalty if the target is a guard and a -2 penalty if the target item is concealed, such as for example a hidden dagger.

Also, I just had the urge to make Cloudy homosexual.

Temptation to take over Cloudy and make him confess he as become a little infatuated with Backlash, and have him asked Thunder for advice on how to approach a mare. Tis so strong right now :P

It was a tough decision, but I decided to go for the knife: (I didn't say anything in the RP thread because I was being stealthy.)
http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/4780002/

That's a decent pass, right? Not great, not awful? Thunder hid the knife behind her wing (the one opposite from Cloudy, obviously.) I figure his being flustered and her pulling away would be distracting enough that, with the pass, it'd go unnoticed.

Well we're down to, what, four players? I don't think it's wise to do that, just be patient. He's got a rough schedule, and by vaulting his post like that you limit the possible outcomes of anything we could have responded with - essentially making it pointless to go back, as well as being just plain rude.

I know we move slowly, but we've all had places where we had to wait (Mabbzim Tomato especially), so please think of the other players before you jump ahead.

That'll do. Surprise stabbing would be another agility test, still with a -1 penalty for Cloudy's guard training. If you do that, give me the roll and I'll tell you if you kill him outright (or you could not kill the nice NPC :'()

You may be right, although in Waaaghpower's defence he did give nearly two full days. And when we've tried waiting indefinitely in the past we've gone a week or more without an update. Bit of a tricky situation, really.

OK, new rule. When moving time onwards, you must wait 72 hours in case other people have unfinished business. Also, ideally it'd be helpful for everyone to post here when they are ready to move on, although I accept that sometimes you might think of something at a later date.

In my defense, everyone else had a chance to post between when he posted and I did, and nobody had done anything in response. I didn't see how sharing a snack and talking would drastically alter the course of the story, and character development with everyone except me and Cloudy is irrelevant to the scene playing out right now.

UPDATE: Ninja'd before posting, but I'll put this up anyways.
Mabbz, if I try and kill him, it'll be slitting his throat so he can't call for help. Originally I was going to ask to borrow the knife to cut some vines for a little S&M (Thunder claiming to have trust issues) and then gagging him and leaving, but he had to be all morally righteous and hard to seduce.

I was somewhat shocked by the advance myself because I was waiting on some kind of closure to the scene before we moved on. It was a bit of a jarring transition.

Sorry, but when Narric was playing him he seemed like a really nice guy  :-\. You could always hit his head with hilt of the dagger to KO him. I'm willing to follow cartoon physics and not give him brain damage. Although that would be a strength test rather than agility.

Yes, but not a big one. Just a +1, which would cancel out the -1 already in effect and make it a straight up strength test with no modifiers.

In response to this, my strength is four points lower than my endurance, and Nightmare Sky wouldn't realistically care very much one way or the other. Trying to conk him on the noggin is too risky and offers no rewards.

Don't worry, things are going to get preeeety hot and exciting in a moment, whether or not Cloudy consents.

What're the sleeping (and therefore element) arrangements again? It's Plumber with Backlash, Cynder with Hazy, and the last two guards are macking SLEEPING in their tent, right?

You've forgotten Pale. I imagine the guards would be polite and sleep outside their tents if necessary, so lets say:

Backlash and Plumber (Loyalty and Kindness)
Hazy and Pale (Honesty and Magic)
Cynder and Thunder (we can assume Cynder didn't wake up when Thunder went to seduce Cloudy)
Leather and Swift (not in a tent)

First roll (determine pass or fail), low is good. Second roll (determine how good or bad), high is good. I really should have made it consistent.

Everypony else will wake before they get burnt thanks to the screams, but it'll take an agility test to get out of a burning test occupied by two ponies without getting singed.

Pegasi are attuned to weather; presumably, that would include air currents, smoke, and flame.

More importantly, they're also able to perceive screaming!

Post up.

Contrary to popular belief, an aggressive throat-slashing is not nearly as fatal as media makes it out to be. Mind you, an experienced individual would know that the killer cut is way back there in the neck, but with emergency medical care it's quite survivable.

That being said, one EMT can't do all this alone, and especially not without supplies. Cynder, Plumber, Pale, Hazy, and even the guards' actions will determine how successful this can be.

OK so to be clear I had been actively waiting for the last few days for someone to respond to my post having checked  for responses regularly. Could you please make sure we're ready before moving on with something drastic in the future. Now I feel rather left out in the cold because it just seems like from my end it was just ignored completely to advance something else.  I guess I'll just eat the loss of what I had planned since there's really not going to be an opportunity for it in the future given what has happened now.

Post by: Waaaghpower on February 18, 2015, 03:15:38 AM
So much ponies! I can't even!

Okay, Imma try and respond to all of this in big chunks based on what is being talked about, since I don't want to respond to each individual post but I do want to respond to everything said.

To Mabbz, talking about how dark everything has gotten: Originally I was going to try and set up a dense but extremely powerful lightning storm right above everypony camping, but I thought that would have been too easy for somepony to notice (Since, as HectorSmash pointed out, we do have quite a few Pegasi in the group,) and not reliable enough for mayhem.


On the subject of throat-cutting: It's true that it's not always fatal, but I rolled quite high on the 'How successful am I' roll and he would have been bleeding out for at least a minute by the time Backlash gets to him. It was the high roll that made me post he was dead right away, if the roll implied that I had only injured him, I would have stabbed him again. And if that hadn't worked, I would have stabbed him AGAIN. He's dead, Jim.


On the subject of Pegasi: I... still don't see how it's relevant, seeing as you woke up right after the tent fires started and you heard the screams. Being a Pegasus wouldn't have woken you up any sooner than


Lastly, on the subject of Plumber and skipping him: Again, I'm sorry about that, but I thought you were just making chit-chat, and I did make sure that everyone had seen your post and had time to respond to what you said. As a chain of events:
I said I was going to post (relating to what ended up happening, the attempted seduction or murder of Cloudy.)
After a few hours, you said you were going to post, and did so.
I didn't post, because I had nothing to say about snacking on oats. (And because I was feeling lazy.)
A day later, I said I was going to post that evening.
Narric posted in the group thread.
HectorSmash posted in the group thread.
Around two days after you posted, I posted in the thread having skipped to the night since nobody was doing anything.

I'll admit I rushed things a little bit since I was eager to get to the scene I had been setting up since we started talking about making camp, but considering the circumstances I don't feel guilty about it.

Also, unless your planned events would have exposed Nightmare Sky or very drastically changed the sleeping arrangements, I see absolutely no reason why we couldn't rewind and play it out. Since my scene with Cloudy really only involved two characters and wouldn't be changed much by what happened earlier, there shouldn't be any conflicts.

"I'll post at some point this evening. Mabbz, I have a feeling this'll be a back and forth for at least a few posts, since I don't want to totally control the guard I'm talking to."

does not translate into I'm going to post something that assumes and forces actions on behalf of other players. None of your posts implied that you where going to move forward in such a fashion. I was waiting for someone to respond since I was under the apparently incorrect assumption that it was going to be responded to and I would be able to continue with what I wanted to do. Given that I never said Plumber was going to bed or ready for bed I really think you rushed a bit much. By the time I get home from work when you do decide to post you've steamrolled so fast that I'm sitting out in the cold in terms of what I had planned [edit] and yes by the way it is kind of a big deal since what i intended to do is no longer an option even if it hadn't changed sleeping arrangements.

Post by: HectorSmash on February 18, 2015, 03:33:53 AM
I hate to bring things like this into a game, but I feel the need to do so now.

First, you are not the GM. Neither am I. Ultimate decisions are left to Mabbz' discretion; that's why I never post the results of my actions as though they were a foregone conclusion.

Second, as a real medical student, I can assure you that using a pocket knife to kill a horse would not do the job anywhere near fast enough to fit this narrative. Furthermore, Thunder is not a trained killer, and would have no idea how to go about such a vile thing. Backlash, on the other hand, is actually a medic, and has the knowledge (if not the immediate supplies, although she is also a naturalist of some capability) necessary to care for gruesome field injuries.

Third, since I'm getting everything out here, this is a game for all of us. It's Mabbz' game, yes, but if we're going to start leaving people behind without consulting anyone else first, I may as well put up a post right now saying that everything ended happily ever after without any input from anyone else. I'm not going to, because I like to think I'm a very thoughtful and methodical player, but it would be equally valid as taking the reins yourself, as a not-GM.

Of course, all of this is overridden by one thing I'm keeping in mind: this game was never intended to be this dark. The few deaths that happened, even as 'enemy' deaths, were severely damaging to the characters and, as I'm seeing now, ultimately catastrophic to the game world as a whole. They served their purpose as outliers, as brutal warnings to the characters to stray from their violent ways and seek peaceful resolutions. Thankfully, we were able to accomplish that for the remainder of the game, until now. I had thought that the constant comments on how dark things were getting, as well as certain GM actions to maintain the tone of the game, would be enough to get the message across to everyone that this is not Fallout: Equestria. But if it is...

I am going to fight you, and anyone else, tooth and nail to keep this game as light as possible. I did not join a Warhammer 40k roleplay. If that's what it becomes, I am out.

Post by: Waaaghpower on February 18, 2015, 05:06:46 AM
KingofMonkeys: I am sorry, I didn't mean to bowl all over what you were planning, but as I said: I hadn't realized you were planning anything, and when I moved things along Mabbz went with it. I had given relatively little indication that I was going to move things along (Besides asking about sleeping arrangements, who was going to be on guard, who I would be sleeping with,) but you had given absolutely no indication that you wanted to do anything of note besides a bit of character interaction to fill time. We've moved the story along and assumed basic things (Like tired characters going to sleep,) in the past, so I didn't see why we shouldn't here.

May I ask what you were planning to do? I can't say that it would or wouldn't have been important if you don't tell anyone anything about what you had been trying to do, and without any indications from you about what it was, all I can really say is conjecture which isn't much use. (Though I'm surprised that you hadn't brought up something so important either in this thread or to Mabbz in a PM.)


HectorSmash: On the subject of the throat wound, it wasn't a pocket knife, it was a hunting knife or a combat knife, the kind that military guard horses would carry around to use if they got into a fight. I don't know where you got 'Pocket knife' specifically, since it's been referred to as a dagger. (And Mabbz said it was heavy enough to conk a guard over the head and knock him out.)


I see your point about this being a group game, but I had thought I was consulting with Mabbz whenever I did anything. Asking what rolls to make, checking so I would know where everyone and everything was before I did things, but there's only so much I can and will do before the game comes to a grinding halt because I or anyone else has to ask so many questions that nothing ever gets accomplished. Mabbz never said stop, never said I couldn't do anything, never said I shouldn't do anything. (He did give an option for a less violent route, but that was it.) After I posted and said that the guard was dead, he didn't complain. Obviously we'll need to see what Mabbz actually says about this, but up until now I've consulted with him or left the option for corrections.


As for things getting dark... Sorry about that. When I roleplay, while I'll do what I think will be more entertaining or better for the story if it's in character, I do try and keep things in character whenever I can. It didn't seem right that Thunder would take near-rape, being lied to by the ponies she had trusted, finding out that she was a murderer and it had been kept from her for days, etc. very easily, and so I had her break down and seek forgiveness from the Princess. When that ended up making her into an evil Princess, I had her act like an evil Princess, but I still tried to avoid actually killing anyone. (If I had beaten Backlash I would have tied her up, if everything had gone according to plan with Cloudy I would have tied him up, etc.) Bad luck changed the course of things, but the growing darkness has been more of a step-by-step thing that I haven't been specifically trying to do. I personally don't mind a little darkness in a story, so I made no real effort to steer away from it, and since most of Mabbz's comments had been lighthearted exasperation or incredulity rather than annoyance or frustration, and I hadn't seen much of anyone really complaining about it, I never considered it as a problem so much as a mere story element. Even so, torching the camp was about as dark as I wanted to get. (I didn't want to sneak into tents and start killing everyone, and since fire is relatively survivable in movies and roleplays and such, though injuring and frightening, I thought it would be a fair compromise.)

Thank you for explicitly stating that you don't want things to get dark. From now on, I'll try and steer away from that.



(I'm not going to post anymore until Mabbz gets back in the discussion, since as you said he is GM. Final call is his, these are just things from my perspective.

I've been battling physical pain from stress related to the general bad feels in this game ever since the whole Nightmare Sky thing started. It's not really something to write home about, but it's worth mentioning that I don't really like to play a game that makes me feel like shit.

I just didn't raise a fuss about it because it was never -enough- to raise a fuss about. It's that eternal tale of the straw that breaks the camel's back, where I see a trend progressing slowly, slowly, but never quickly enough to justify really raising my voice about.

Ooookay I don't know how I missed that. I am sorry about that, then. (I see the post was edited, is it possible that you only added that comment in the edit? I don't often read logs of conversations so if I thought I had already read what you said I may have missed the comment if it was added later. Not that this matters, I'm just curious about the mystery, since I'm surprised I don't remember reading that.) (And no, this doesn't count as me posting anymore until Mabbz gets back. I mean, I am posting anymore, but it doesn't count.)

Ooh, fire :P

With Cynders affinity with Fire, would it be possible for him to "Lift" the flames off the ponies, and disperse it safely?

In regards to skipping Plumber:
Mistakes were made, but they were honest mistakes, and apologies have also been forthcoming. I see no reason to continue any argument on the subject. Methods of rectifying the situation will be discussed below.

In regards to the cutting of throats:
I'm going to have to side with Hector here. Partly because he has actual medical knowledge, but mostly because in hindsight if Cloudy dies then I fully expect the whole party to dissolve. I probably should have suggested knocking him out in the first place, rather than suggesting pickpocketing, but I did not fully consider the consequences of that action.

In regards to the fire:
Being a Pegasus would not wake you up any sooner. Cynder can magic the fire away, with a Magic test with a +3 cutie mark modifier. I will say that I wasn't aware of what Nightmare Sky planned with the oil when Waaaghpower asked about it, but honestly I didn't even think about it at the time, so that was probably my fault. Had I thought that through properly, I probably would have said there was no oil to be found.

In regards to the grim darkness of the roleplay:
In hindsight, I shouldn't have given you weapons at all back at the start (except possibly some kind of dessert). In retrospect, I could and should have done more to keep the tone lighter, such as disallowing the attempted murder of Cloudy, but I never did through a combination of shortsightedness and an unwillingness to remove freedom of choice. I have no desire to railroad, and forcing a villianous sociopathic character to take a more moral choice just to enforce the tone isn't something I have any desire to do.

I will say that while I'm not happy with the direction this has taken, I am a Warhammer 40,000 player so I can't say it bothers me that much either. What does bother me is the feelings of my players. The problem that I am quickly coming to realise is that it may not be possible to keep everyone happy, especially now that I turned Thunder into a villian. All in all this, my first roleplay as GM, has gone quite badly wrong in a variety of ways. I promise that if I do any more RPs in the future, I will do my best to learn from this experience and make the RP more enjoyable for all concerned.

How to proceed:
The way I see it, we have three options to proceed so far. If you can see any others, please share them.

1) Continues the game from here, using the rulings I have made above. I will attempt to be stricter regarding the tone, and I aak you all to do the same.

2) Retcon back to Plumber's post, partly for his benefit and partly so that we don't have to deal with the blood and fire situation we have now. Lamp oil will no longer be available and the fact that rolls will need to be re-done should be sufficient to make KOing Cloudy into a better option (one strength roll rather than two agility rolls)

3) End it. I can attempt to write the rest of the story myself, making the ending as happy as possible, and maybe then I could try running a new campaign, one that will turn out better than this one (although I had been planning on running a 40k campaign next).

Disclaimer:
While some of what I wrote above may sound like it, I am not saying this campaign has been a failure. I am not going through another phase of thinking that I am a terrible GM, as I know that all mistakes I have made are honest ones and that I have been trying my best. So don't worry about me.

Also, any perceived bias towards or against any characters or player in this post is purely unintended. The same goes for if you feel I have glossed over any of your concerns.

Final thought:
In hindsight, I should have made this post into a letter to Celestia.

If we have an agreed upon direction, I can go into the thread an cut out everything after Plumbers post. (I assume this one (http://secondsphere.org/index.php?topic=1051.msg35967#msg35967)?) Doing this would hopefully help in the transition to a less blood filled storyline, and avoid confusion in the matters. Of course I would want everyone to be on board if we do that route.

If we continue as is, best to clarify about whether its +3 to my roll to get over my magic stat, or +3 to my magic stat and roll under :P

I personally would like the RP to continue as an RP, but if majority rules otherwise I will accept the group decision.

Yep, that's the post. And if we do go down that route, then cutting out the extra posts would probably be helpful.

The clarification of stat rolls is the first thing in the first post of the first page of this thread ::). +3 to the stat, and roll under.

I would really appreciate that particular direction, and I'm sure kingofmonkeys would too. He's at work now and soon I will be as well, although my work is a bit more tech-friendly.

Again, I never want nor wanted to have to throw a fit, but I had always wanted this game to be something fun and adventurous, not yet another thing to feel terrible and powerless about. I'd like to have fun fighting bad guys without worrying about someone turning traitor and murdering us all in our sleep, for this to be a game we all turn to to feel better, not worse. I simply can't be asked to feel worse all the time.

EDIT: For the sake of full disclosure, since that seems to be my policy these days, I'm going to try to write everything down before it disappears. I tend to forget things very easily, so here's what I've got.

I always feel a bit wary talking to people who are into Warhammer, because if I had to describe myself using an in-universe character, I would be a little ball of Chaos. My whole life is based on how I feel and how I choose to respond to those emotions. As a result, it's a bit of an uphill battle to get out of bad feelings, but I will always succeed, no matter how long it takes.

It wasn't always like this. When I first joined this group, my associated character was named Backlash. Predictably, her (and my) primary character trait was the concept of vengeance and its less hurtful counterpart, doing good things in return for other good things. Over time I came to realize that that behavior would never make anyone happier, much less myself, and so I changed to be who I am now. I try to be as sensitive as possible to the changing tides of emotion around me, and I think it makes me more able to connect with people who might otherwise have nobody to turn to.

Unfortunately, it also leads to situations like this. I am so sensitive that just playing a game can put a shade over my whole week. I don't know how to respond to it in a way that'll make everyone happy, including myself, so I just try to tell the whole truth and let people respond from there.

I'm having trouble parsing how I should feel about this whole situation. On the one hand, I feel terrible for essentially guilting everyone into changing the course of the game - not entirely, but at least partially because I complained about it making me feel bad. I also feel more of like a burden because I haven't been around this forum hardly at all except for this game, and I don't even get into Warhammer. Hell, I haven't even been part of this game from the beginning, although I have stuck around until now.

On the other hand, I know kingofmonkeys has felt at least partially the same as me, because we're very close friends outside of this forum. Plumber was meant to be comic relief! And now he's just an insane, depressed nutter because of all the terrible shit he's been put through. I also feel like I'm allowed to voice complaints about the direction the game is taking and/or the actions of the players, simply because I've stuck around to the end. And, guilting or not, if the game really does become so dark that it affects me physically, I will have no choice but to bow out. At this point in time I can't afford another thing to stress about.

But most importantly, I try to have everyone's best interests at heart. I might be a little misguided in the way I communicate it, but I really do want play a fun game with you guys. I miss Walrus Man and Minrat, as crotchety as Patent was (I don't miss Anna/PrimeNumber, but that's a different story). I like having a group like this to play with and enjoy each other's company. I just don't want to feel awful while doing it.

Thanks for sharing all of that. I am pretty terrible at picking up subtext, so I appreciate it when people explain things all detailed-like.

I vote for retconning last night's scene out, if that makes any difference. I never meant to cause all this trouble, and it seems like it'll fix a lot of problems.
(Nightmare Sky will probably go for a similar approach assuming it's still possible, but instead conk out the guard with a rock or what have you, then slip into the tent with Cynder, tie him up, and steal away with another element. That okay with everyone?)

I would like to hear something from KoM before I go and start chopping the thread. More so we can ensure everyone has had their say, whether large post or small. i also need to wait until later due to being on the wife's laptop, which is cumbersome for me to use, with no mouse...

Hector, if I ever meet you face to face, I need to give you a heart-felt hug :)

Post by: HectorSmash on February 18, 2015, 10:08:42 PM
Hugs are great. I'd hug everyone instead of shaking their hand if I could. Human contact is just the best. Maybe one of these days I'll save up and go out to another con, one where I actually know people. Fun fact: going to a convention that you know nobody at, when you're an introvert and your roommates are not exactly the most sociable people, is a terrible idea.

KoM should be home in some 5-6 hours.

FAO @kingofmonkeys
Please make sure you leave your two-cents on this matter. I don't want to go chopping up roleplay without everyone involved being onboard.

Speaking of RP, being a player in this one, and observing Mabbz as a beginner GM, I kinda have ideas on how I can make my own future RPs not suck :P Just wish the RP in my head wasn't just transformers, but then I have plenty of material to hand to sculpt a narrative, even if it does have to go completely alternate universe with regards to the canon :P

I'm running an Evil campaign on the side, myself. There's 3 players, and two GMs, one of which is me.

I say I'm running it because the other GM, despite having created the world and having been 'voted' into being the main game runner by one person on account of them having known each other longer, sucks. He can't GM for shit. I'm constantly having to step in and save the game as he flounders and flails around with boring, confusing, or just plain annoying characters and encounters.

But hey, c'est la vie. I'M NOT BITTER

Transformers could be interesting, if you did the RP here then I'd be up for it. No worries about canon on my part, since I know nothing about Transformer's canon (never watched the cartoons, never had the toys, only saw the first movie which I've mostly forgotten).

now when you say the first movie... i hope you mean the 80s one...

as for the RP i'd be glad to roll back to the post that was linked. the one regarding oats. I also would be satisfied with a less dark direction because if it continued down that path much longer if i choose not to break character I don't think he'd stick around the party much longer so thumbs up on it if we are all in agreement.

Your assumption is correct. Starting a small controlled blaze isn't going to go badly wrong unless you're startled, and if it went slightly wrong you could just keep trying. So yeah, auto pass.

The ponies looked in awe at the smoldering fields that had once been a massive forest. Finally, Pale broke the silence.

"Hey, you incinerated those ruins we found on our first trip through here!"

"YAY!" they all cheered.

"This gives me closure! I give up being a villian!" said Thunder happily, the nightmare forces leaving her and going back to the moon. Nopony questioned this. "By the way, Luna's possessed."

One exorcism later...

"You saved my sister! Medals for everyone!" announced Celestia. And there was much rejoicing.

"YAY!"

Levitating small amounts of liquid is trickier than solid objects, but not vastly so. It does need a magic test, but it's at a nice +5 modifier.

Oh, and eating out of another unicorn's magic is somewhat intimate, roughly the same as eating out of another persons hands in real life. This, combined with the expression on Hazy's face might be enough to let other unicorns realise he has feelings for Backlash (it's a strong hint, but not a certainty). Of course, non unicorns probably think of telekinesis as being a bit less personal, and are less likely to notice. Hazy is subtle when showing affection.

Hell, our stories didn't match up earlier, even not counting any private discussions. But that's because Backlash is a dirty, manipulating liar who's trying to steal all the Elements and murder the entire party, she's just better at it than Thunder.

Currently, Pale wants to chase after Thunder, but with everypony else I either don't know what they plan to do or they don't know about the situation. I can't move this along until Plumber or Cynder post, and ideally, somepony's going to go let the others know what's going on.

Post by: Narric on March 08, 2015, 07:24:29 PM
That was my dilema also.

I'm thinking that Cynder would feel compelled to chase after Thunder. The Meta-knowledge I have however makes me feel that thats a one way street to dead :P

I won't kill Cynder. He doesn't need to die, and it'd be too inconvenient at the moment.

Post by: Mabbz on March 08, 2015, 11:30:42 PM
Besides, if Pale and Cynder both went after Thunder, that's two against one. Nightmare Sky has some stat boosts and the element of surprise, but that's still far from a guaranteed win.

Little unfortunate news: Plumber's computer is broken and he can't reach the forum. He's looking at getting it fixed but it'll be a while - don't know how long, sadly.

Buggernuts. Ah well, can't be helped.

Right, current plan. Pale and Cynder will go after Thunder, while Plumber goes to tell the others what's going on (not that he's especially sure of that himself). Waaaghpower, your head start, ludicrously high agility and the fact that you have wings means you can pretty much decide for yourself if and how you want them to catch you.

I will post something to that effect soon (within 15 hours) unless anyone has a better idea. I want to get this thing moving again.

It's a dramatic runaway, not a genuine one. They'll find Thunder sobbing under a tree in a few minutes.

I know, don't worry. I was more directing the guilt at the others. After all, Plumber is currently back in camp, so there isn't much for him to do anyway.

Wouldn't be the first time we went of on a tangent like that. I'm just happy people are posting again.

On a random side note, I was reading through some of the older RPs (specifically the Mass Effect (http://secondsphere.org/index.php?topic=181.0) one) and now I'm tempted to run a MLP political RP. Set before the rule of Celestia and Luna, back in Hearths Warming times. People can play as Commander of the Pegasi, Queen of the Unicorns, Chancellor of the Earth Ponies or some other relevant faction of their own devising. Politics ensue. Although I imagine I'd have more fun playing it than running it (I really liked being the Geth).

Hmm... actually, maybe it could be a sequel to this (assuming this plays out according to canon). I play as Celestia, too upset over the loss of her sister to effectively rule, you lot play as various nobles in the power struggles that results from the sudden lack of one of the Diarchs. Will you support Celestia through her darkest hour? Will you attempt to sieze power for yourself? Will you fight for freedom from the tyranny of your immortal rulers?

I'm going to post one more time, maybe. Or not. It'll be short. If I do.

EDIT:
My dilemma is, I want to clear up that Thunder only meant that she wasn't friends with Backlash and maybe others, not that she didn't  want friends in general. (The implication was, once she got to know everypony she realized she didn't like them. Again, nonspecific as to whom she's talking about.)

They're pretty similar games, but I prefer Free Cell because there's less of an element of luck. Unlike with Solitare, all the cards are visible from the start so you can get screwed over because you chose to move one card over another. Besides, I've had games of Solitare where there has literally been no legal move from the start; victory was 100% impossible. You don't get that with Free Cell.

Leather Wing and Swift Shadows stepped forward in unison. stern expressions etched onto their faces.
"We would like to announce that we're pregnant, and Plumbers the Father."
Plumber colapsed from the surprise. Cloudy Daze dropped his jaw to the floor. Thunder became highly aroused. Hazy ignored them. Whilst Backlash, Pale Ale and Cynder burst out in laughter, as wide smiles cracked across the stoic Guards' faces.

When you set off for Everfree City in the morning, or when you actually arrive there?

Honestly I haven't been keeping track of that kind of thing. I don't even remember how many tents there were, let alone who slept in them. As such, I'd say that if a minor fact is left unstated, go with whatever situation is funnier/cooler/more dramatic.

Also fun fact: this probably marks the first time that we've officially defied established show canon.

One point I feel I should mention. Nightmare Moon is heading straight for the group, and will probably spot you all in thirty second, max. Talking may be a free action, but don't push it. Post decisions, not discussions. I'm assuming from this that Plumber will be going to Thunder's aid, while Backlash and Hazy flee with the Elements. What will the rest of you do? I'm going to make Leather Wing and Swift Shadow join Plumber, since their mission is to protect civilians and Luna.

I'm gonna say it happens before you leave (so those with Elements feel free to post who you throw them to). As such, KoM, you have an extra action to send me if you want, or you can just leave it to me and I'll make Plumber react to the situation in a sensible way.

Even if that had been one of KoM's actions, Nightmare Moon got the highest initiative roll, so sadly, t'was not to be.

You also don't seem to do much damage, weirdly, but that's just luck of the dice. Besides, Cynder's tactics are too sensible. He just sits back and shoots, rather than running into the fray.

Post by: Mabbz on June 26, 2015, 10:29:41 PM
Currently they're actually further away from the meeting point than the rest of you, due to circling around the edge of the city. Of course, they can travel faster than you, and stealth might not be a bad idea for both groups, so I'm gonna say you're both an hour and a half or so away, provided you sneak. At full speed, the pure pegasus group could get there in closer to 20 minutes, while the other group more like 40.

Post by: Mabbz on July 06, 2015, 09:58:48 PM
I imagine you are wondering why I haven't posted lately. Allow me to explain. Some time ago, I stopped planning this. I think it was when I revealed Luna to have been behind the theft. In my original plans, she was going to have been Nightmare Moon already, take the Elements and you would have had to break into Everfree Castle to retrieve them. Instead, on the spur of the moment I came up with the current plot with Luna as a misguided fool whose plan backfired spectacularly, with grief driving her to evil. I've been making everything up since then.

The reason I mention this is because I've been struggling to decide how to proceed. Mostly this is due to writer's block, but there's something else, an epihany that cam to me quite recently.

I can't please everyone.

Primarily of course, this is because I dreamed up the whole Nightmare Sky scenario. I must admit, I'd been reading Darths and Droids (http://www.darthsanddroids.net/) when I came up with that, and was inspired by Anakin's portrayal. Trouble is, that ends with two players locked in a duel to the death which, while I like the idea, I worry about the effect that would have on this story; Hectorsmash mentioned a while back how he hoped there'd wouldn't be a bittersweet ending, and to be honest I'd rather avoid it too (Although considering even in the best case scenario Luna's probably gonna get banished, that's probably impossible). But I don't want to enforce a victory for the good guys, because that would be boring and also unfair on Waaaghpower.

Don't worry, I do have a couple of ideas to make this work and I'm not vanishing forever. I just think I should start properly planning this story again, hence the delays in moving this onward. I just wanted to keep you all informed.

Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: HectorSmash on July 09, 2015, 08:34:51 PM
I personally think the biggest mistake was (probably as a result of the lack of planning) making Thunder into a traitor and then telling us about it. As they say, the pain of deception comes not while it happens, but when it is revealed. This also made it extremely difficult to act fairly in either direction, whether 'too easy' for Thunder to manipulate or 'too difficult.'

Like I said before, I wasn't prepared to deal with a traitor character during this game. I should have been, and it would have made me feel outplayed had there been one acting behind the scenes, but now I just feel wrongly put upon. Every new thing that happens where 'the bad guys win' feels like something I just have to sit and powerlessly watch, because I can't act fairly with my knowledge of who the traitor is. It feels hollow.
Title: Re: Dawn and Dusk - a My Little Pony Roleplay (Sign up and OOC thread)
Post by: Narric on July 09, 2015, 09:27:21 PM
What kind of rolls or dialogue trees would we have to navigate to RP her to stop being a traitor? Is it brainwashing, or is it genuine subservitude?

From a narrative point of veiw, revealing the traitor wasn't a good choice.
For some reason I am reminded of the Battlestar Galactica game, where the Cylone players have to still act within a reasonable of good, but keep to their "evil" agendas, all while not uncovering their true identity. From the few anecdotes I've heard, people have managed to convince non-cylone players that other non-cylone players are cylones, leaving the Battlestar completely run by cylones who don't know the other people are cylones :P (please forgive me if I butchered spelling there)

Thunder could have an epiphany and turn the power she gained from Luna against Luna, but that leaves her open to having her power (and life) taken rather quickly from her depending on how powerful Luna actually is currently in this fiction.

You assume that Thunder is merely playing the traitor, Narric. (Sinister laugh. I'm thinking kind of a 'Mnnhmmmhmmm' sort of thing rather than a 'Muahahah', but the important thing is that it's sinister.)

Aside from the narrative, I also get the feeling that player choices have been a bit skewed by meta-knowlege, even if only by accident. (Mean to or not, if you know someone's a traitor than the otherwise ignored oddities of what they do become a lot more obvious.)

I doubt Thunder would get vaporized or anything. PCs (Pony Characters) have been really, really hard to kill in this game. (Which is a good thing, I guess?)

Statistical calculations complete. New strategy within acceptable parameters. Enacting plan...



As you may have guessed from the above, I have figured out where I'm going to go from here. I think it should work to everyone's tastes. Having said that, I need to sort out a couple more things before any major updates, so please bear with me for another few days.

Apologies to Pegasus Wing Alpha (I got bored of referring to you as "the smaller group") for having a far less interesting update. I promise more fun for you in the future.

Waaaghpower, time to bring the others back into this RP.

I am going on holiday for a week, starting this friday. I don't know if I'll have internet, so if I go silent, that is why. Feel free to have minor conversations with Celestia and and perform relatively unimportant actions without my input; just assume everything goes as expected.

Has anyone seen Waaaghpower? I was rather hoping Thunder could go and meet Backlash and co, so Hector would have something to do.

Also, vague guesses are better than silence, but a solid "Let's try there" would be helpful to move this along even if you only say it out of character. I guarantee that no matter where you look, you'll find something interesting. Well, more interesting than standing around talking about it.

Whatever happens, I have something I plan to post on saturday that I think you will appreciate.

Sorry guys, work has been exhausting for the past few weeks, I'm kinda busy.
I can post on Saturday! If you don't mind waiting a couple more days. (Maaaybe tomorrow, but that's a 50/50 chance so I don't want to make promises.)
Sorry. :/

Making your way in the world today
Takes everything you've got;
Taking a break from all your worries
Sure would help a lot.
Wouldn't you like to get away?

Sometimes you want to go
Where everybody knows your name,
And they're always glad you came;
You want to be where you can see,
Our troubles are all the same;
You want to be where everybody knows your name.

Apologies for the lack of posting. I've been staying with my girlfriend for the last week, so I've been busy ;)

...helping her look after her dog, cat and three rabbits. Get you mind out of the gutter :P

Anyway, big post on thursday for Celestia and co. Backlash, Thunder, Swift Shadow and Cloudy wont get as much, since I imagine they need to chat a bit first.

"Kinda makes you wish you got out more often, eh Hazy?"
"Not me, I just want to warn the Princess and get back to my tower before I get in any more trouble."
"Speaking of trouble, we should have run into some by now."
"What?"
"You know. A guard, a booby trap." (All their torches suddenly go out.) "Or an Ambush."

And Celestia said let there be light, and it was so.

That was the second roll I had done. Originally I was just going to do two D20 rolls, but i remember cutiemark modifiers, so have been trawling through the OOC thread for the info for Cynder. Seems that +3 modifier was a bit useless, considering it would have been a 18 un-modded :P

Considering it was only mid effective (11/20) I'll leave it up to Our RP Overlord to decide how long the light shall last :P

BTW, Three Rounds Rapid time?

Post by: Waaaghpower on September 17, 2015, 11:21:55 PM
Wait, isn't the +3 applied to your stat? And isn't 18 a bad roll? Unless I'm going hella cray-cray, I thought you were supposed to roll *under* your relevant stat plus/minus modifiers, then roll to see how effective it all was.

:facepalm001:

Seriously guys, a detailed explanation of stat checks is literally the first thing on page 1. And your stats are also on the first page somewhere (post #9). I do not understand how you keep losing them ::)

Anyway, to reiterate, the bonus is added to your stat, and you roll equal to or under the stat to pass. Normally that would mean you needed a 13 or less (with cutie mark bonus), which means your 18 was a failure. However, as the spell is a very simple one, and also due to environmental bonuses I'm not going to tell you about yet, I would have given you another +5 anyway, which is a pass.

As for the 11... Well, you'll have to wait and see, wont you? ;)

Oh, I should probably mention the creatures, shouldn't I? There are four of them, all of similar size, equidistant around you. As for appearance... You know how chimps are kinda like smaller, less intelligent and less threatening humans?

Well these are a species known as the lesser draconequus. They're not particularly intelligent; think wolves, only they don't work together as well. As for appearance, they're about halfway between Discord and most ponies in terms of size, and the exact combination of animal parts varies. They have a limited amount of magic, but most of it goes into making them incredibly agile. They are capable of floating, changing direction almost instantly and even phasing through themselves to twist out of a tight spot. They do occasionally manifest other, random powers, but they are nothing compared to a true draconequus like Discord

And of course, I doubt I really need to say this but they are carnivorous and they are hungry.

He's been active on his Tumblr, so I reckon he's just had other things on his mind. Probably comissions :P I can poke him there as well?

Celestia was the only one that didn't fall, but before she could glide down to join them the ceiling closed back up, plunging them into pitch blackness. As the noise of their landing faded, they could make out several low growling noises, coming from all around.
Sorry Plumber, Celestia isn't with you at the moment
