My Little Pony: The Staff of Truth (OOC Thread V)

[BlueHamsterBean]

I like the idea of the Princesses meeting a foal who is... presumably their age? They certainly don't act like they're older, but who knows how quickly alicorns mature ^^

No worries about the pacing: we're getting some decent RP in ^^

And yet nobody is rolling their mind roll?

I suggest you roll here and I’ll tell you guys what you realize about the situation?

[igordragonian]

sorry. I'll try to relly today.

[igordragonian]

I did had an idea for Celestia's cutie mark...
but maybe it's overly ambitouse...

[BlueHamsterBean]

Both Wolf and I made our mind rolls in the IC I'm pretty sure. They're spoilered at the end of our posts.

[Emmerlaus]

Sorry guys for the lack of update! I had a serious recurring headache today and RL had being busy as well.

I swear I'll post an update tommorow!

[BlueHamsterBean]

No problem! It happens ^^

Edit: I got a bit sidetracked today and won't be able to post until tomorrow. My apologies for the delay >.<

[DaOldeWolf]

Giving this a poke since it has been a few days since the last post.

I’m waiting for Igor but I guess he is busy. I’ll update later tonight... hopefully. It’s my birthday today and I’ll probably spent it napping and cuddling my girlfriend, she had a rough day.

[Emmerlaus]

Correction: I went to the hospital yesterday cause my GF hurt herself at work, worsening her elbow condition. We were in there for a long time and went back to bed at 3 AM.

I'll try to post tonight, sorry for the delay guys!

EDIT: ok posted! Also, I sent a PM to Igor who seems to be very elusive lately

[BlueHamsterBean]

Sorry for my absence: I've had a weird weekend thanks to eating some funny food Friday and having my stomach... not be happy with it.

It's a bit late for me to post tonight, but before I go to bed, I wanted to run a question by our illustrious GM for the episode: would a Mind test to notice Truffle's struggles early and warn somepony to catch him work? I don't even think Lettersprite would try to hold him down: he's the opposite of strong :p
As for calming to poor piglet, he's used to making rational arguments rather than appeals to emotion.

So while he probably can't stop Truffle, somepony else might be able to because they were warned? What do you think?

Short answer: NOPE!

Another player might try to help you though! No Mind roll though , its plain obvious. It wouldn't be called a challenge if it was always easy

ALSO... If you happen to score a carbox crit, its a automatic success. Just so you know or want to give it a shot. But with stats at 1, its kinda... impossible lol

========

I sent a PM to Igor but familly life is keeping him very busy on teh week-end. Week-Ends are kinda slow because of that on this roleplay, double the fact that I work a 12 hour shift at my work Saturday and Sunday.

[BlueHamsterBean]

Ok, good to know: I'll probably roll Heart then.

[igordragonian]

sorry.
Who is Bastion? and why s/he is angry?

[Emmerlaus]

sorry.
Who is Bastion? and why s/he is angry?

Well no pony talked to him or picked on clues! I did lay them out lol! What I can say is that you can easily guess Bastion is either the foal guardian or related to him in some ways...

[BlueHamsterBean]

Thanks for the Act in Harmony Igor: what is Sweet Echo's Heart? This should be a fun roll ^^

I got super lucky with that double six! XD

[igordragonian]

it would be 3 and she also charismatic.
but in harmony she just give +1 I think

[BlueHamsterBean]

Acting in harmony means you use the highest stat and best skills of the ponies involved ^^

Acting in Harmony

Edit: Ah! It doesn't go directly to the rules I wanted: it's in the "Acting in Harmony" tab under the Playing an Episode section.

[Emmerlaus]

If Wolf doesnt do something this week-end, the update will be next Monday.

Sorry if its slow updates.

EDIT: Wolf you ninja! lol!

ANyway, Im not extremely familiar with Harmony but to be honest, what TN should the group have that would make it a decent challenge? I feel like this should be adjusted somehow as TN 7 for a simple challenge is just too easy I feel...

I mean, 7 is the average on 2d6, and unlike on a d20 or any single die, the further away you get from it, the harder it is to meet the TN.

That isn't considering modifiers to the roll: if you have +1 from an un-boosted stat, the average roll is an 8. That said, this is a simple task: it should be something a novice has a decent chance of succeeding at :p

The TNs vary like this on the RPing is magic site:
5, 10, 15, 20
So simple should be 5 by their example, but a 7 isn't far off. Perhaps requiring a 10 for tasks you want to be a challenge could work? Not a simple task, but if it's challenging, it might not be simple :p
That's just semantics though.

[Emmerlaus]

So the highest roll was a 9 right?

[DaOldeWolf]

Yep. I tried to assist with harmony. Though if necessary, I will bring the spell guns.

[Emmerlaus]

Sorry Igor, those are the rules around the pool!

[igordragonian]

I have chosen to focus on Sweet Echo exactly for such scenes.
all good

[Emmerlaus]

Oh sorry! Only Sweet Echo and Lettersprite saw teh result of the mind roll since Wolf didn't roll... Sorry for the confusion!

And sorry if Im not present as I should... RL is not calming down. When I moved to the countryside, I didnt expect my mom to be so present in my daily day life but I should have expect it when she retired lol

[BlueHamsterBean]

No worries: real life always comes first ^^

Congratulations to your mom for retiring!

[Emmerlaus]

BlueHamsterBean: Just to make things extra clear: Bastion is GONE. He wasn't on the roof after that wave of water from the pool. Im not sure if I have being extra clear on that from your post, sorry if its my fault

Also, I'll let Sweet Echo confirm this as well. She hitted a lower TN but now that Lettersprite mentionned it, she can definitely confirm what he is saying

[BlueHamsterBean]

Hehe, it's funny you should say that: I actually just had Lettersprite clarify that point IC, and I hadn't read this XD

Thanks though ^^

[Emmerlaus]

Igor? Wolf? You alright?

[DaOldeWolf]

Igor? Wolf? You alright?

Yes, I was waiting to see if you wanted to have Lettersprite remember something before making my next post.

But I made my post yesterday to avoid waiting.
