Pirates vs. Ninjas RPG: The Forum Adventure (Back for Real!)

[HarMegidon]

Last Parent Killing Bandit: Accidentally admit that you killed someones parents back in your day, get mobbed.

[Dragoon]

"your paying double then, right?'

[Neopie]

LS: Agree with greed
TLL: Be sensible and dissagree.
HM: Drag TLL along anyways.

[One With Nothing]

DSP: Give the Weasel King a share of the T-Rex. He put up a good fight and you don't want to be a poor sport.

JA: Lead ninja bilge rats home to complete indoctrination.

PKB: Turn over new leaf and help Doctarr with bleeding man.

Doctarr: Recognize PKB as the one who made you a cripple/orphan. Forget bleeding man and aggress!

Bleeding Man: Stop using Pointless End, because it's, well...pointless.

Weasel King: This girl has moxie. Sticking around with her might prove worthwhile. Or at least leave a Weasel Ninja/Emissary with her.

Last Parent Killing Bandit: Accidentally admit that you killed someones parents back in your day, get mobbed.

You learned to stop doing that one after the third time you were chased out of a town with pitchforks and torches. Only the absolute seediest of towns are okay with Patricide. Like you said, it's time to put all that behind you and start doing something new (lest you want to die).

LS: Agree with greed

"Sure thing, Harold. I'll fight a demon for you, but I'm getting paid double for this mission. I do have to ask why though. I thought we'd be investigating the Secret to Two-Eyed Pete's Power though."

"We are."

"What?"

"I'm sure you've heard the rumors of a 'demon' ninja girl running around town and slaughtering pirates."

"Yeah, but I didn't really think anything of it at the time. Even if it is a big deal, it doesn't seem connected to our mission."

"If it was just one incident, I'd agree with you, but there's been similar rumors in neighboring areas and those rumors are much more frightening and violent. Still, I think they're connected. The gender and profession seems to change sometimes, but the proximity and timing on the attacks are too close to be coincidence."

"Whoever is doing this is looking for something important, and that just might have to do with our ultimate goal. At the very least, they're powerful enough to potentially know someone that will know more. This demon is our best lead, and I have a good idea of the next town they're attacking. It's a small hidden ninja port called Joeishi that occasionally attacks the shipments coming out of this town."

"...And what? We're just going to ask this demon nicely to give us that info?"

"I didn't hire Laverne for nice, Sunset."

"So you think we can take a demon then?"

"Maybe not, but I think we can take some humans pretending to be demons."

"Ah. So you're saying..."


"I don't know about you, but I haven't seen a lot of demons in all of my exploring, and they're not usually this orderly. However, I've seen a lot of people pretending to be demons..."

"...And what if you're wrong?"

"I don't think I am."

"Is this a gut feeling or do you have evidence?"

"Personally, I don't think it should matter either way since I'm paying you to go on my hunches, but in this case, I do have one thing that caught my attention. Despite all the rumors of horrible murder, most of the people that spotted this 'demon' have come back alive and relatively unharmed. Among the ones that didn't come back, no bodies have been found. I haven't been able to find a connection between these victims, but I'd be willing to bet that they're either working with the demon or are targets for some greater purpose. That said, I see no reason a demon would leave people as witnesses unless it was a specific fear tactic to cover something the demon didn't want people to know."

"Alright, Harold. You've intrigued me. I'm in. What about you, Lave-"

TLL: Be sensible and disagree.

"WHOO! We're gonna fight a legendary demon!"

"It's only some people pretending to be demons."

"Are they strong?"

"If they can pull this off, probably."

"GOOD ENOUGH! WOOHOO! WE'RE GONNA FIGHT A FAKE LEGENDARY DEMON!"

"You seem... happy."

"There is one big problem though. The Gamblers know where I am now and they'll be tracking us."


"Who? Those guys in the suits? The ones with the knives was scary, but the guy with the Gun was a total wuss."

"Actually, the one with the gun is probably the bigger threat here."

"Heh. Good joke, Harold."

"I'm not joking."


"Did you catch that emblem on your attacker's shirt?"

"Yeah. It's just a spade. I figured it was a costume thing."

"It's a commendation from Ace of Spades, the leader of the Guild, himself. They don't just give those to anyone. If that guy had one, then he's likely one of Ace of Spade's personal bodyguards or a Knight of the Royal Flush. He's not someone to be messed with. The Gamblers generally only give command of a mission to the most competent member of the squad. An elite knight of Ace of Spades himself would be a perfect candidate, and yet they gave command to some nameless Gambler? Not likely. That 'wuss' as you called him probably has traps and plans set throughout this entire town for us, including at the gates and on our ship."

"So, how do we leave to investigate this demon, and how do we lose them?"

"We really only have two choices. We either take the ship and are better supplied in case of attack, but risk being stranded at sea with little maneuverability or chance to grab help, or we pack light and take our chances walking with less supplies but stay close to civilization and hiding spots. Either way, it's going to be a hard trek if we don't lose them. I wanted to know what both of you thought before I made the decision on what to do next."

So, Sunset. What do we do next?"

[swampmist1142]

you double posted but that aside...
LS: say that you think that you guys should search the boat for traps and go from there
TLL: heartily agree
HS: think that this proposition is fair and agree to go and check out the boat

[DairunCates]

Yeah. The server was busy and glitched out. Fixed it by deleting the two duplicate posts.

[swampmist1142]

cool so yeah do the thing

[One With Nothing]

Bleeding Man: Wait, keep using Pointless End...plans within plans, and all that jazz.

LS: Pack light. Nature's bounty will provide what you need, if that Ted Bear guy is to be believed.

[Kiroth6]

TLL: Make sure HM and LS will be safe. Be the trap badger.

LS: Anticipate that the gamblers would anticipate your anticipation of their anticipation of your mode of travel.

[Fengar]

>Go via land.

[Andorxor]

>TLL:Grab them both and thud through the air with them

[Chookster]

Boat, definitely boat.

[Planet of the Japes]

>TLL:Grab them both and thud through the air with them

LS and HM: Dual facepalm. Do not approve of this idea.

Decide to pack light and travel by land.

[DairunCates]

>TLL:Grab them both and thud through the air with them

You have a brilliant plan involving your flying all of the way to the objective with your friends in tow, but they decide to take the boring land route instead.

>Decide to pack light and travel by land.

Harold grabs a different disguise to throw off the gamblers and you all set out for your next town on foot. It's not long out of town before you run into... Oh god. Not her.

"HAVE YOU SEEN A HITINJA GIRL IN PURPLE ROBES!?"

"No."

"Definitely Not."

"Actually, yes."

"GOOD! THEN SHE'S IN TOWN THEN! THANKS FOR THE TIP! NOW TO CHECK THE BARS!"


"Friend of yours?"

"I'd rather not talk about it."

"Do you think she meant Ninja girl?"


"That does bring up a good point in an odd way though. Laverne's gonna need a disguise if we're going into ninja territory."

"Don't worry. I already have one."

"Alright. Let's see it, Laverne."


Minutes Later...
"So... You don't like it? The black means I'm a ninja, and the guitar means I'm one of those Rokinja thingys."

"I don't know where to ever start."

"You have to admit. It's a lot better than you thought he was going to come up with."

"That's not saying much."

"It'll have to do for now."


"More importantly. We have a mission to do and a Guild to outsmart. Get your weapons out and keep at the ready. Lord knows what kind of devious traps and ambushes could be waiting for us up ahead."


"Well... That's not what I had in mind, but there ya go."

What do you do?

[Fengar]

>TLL: Thud the sheep.

[Bloddyredcommie]

LS: Conclude that you have come across some apprentice Feyninja, who, like all Feyninja just learning disguises, does the inevitable "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" joke.

[DairunCates]

>TLL: Thud the sheep.

What Sheep?

>LS: Conclude that you have come across some apprentice Feyninja, who, like all Feyninja just learning disguises, does the inevitable "Wolf In Sheep's Clothing" joke.

It's certainly a possibility with some Feykinja and their sense of humor, but if it is, that's a REALLY fast Feykinja.

[Deceptive]

>Sheep: Be a part of the bandito's animal army.

[DairunCates]

>Sheep: Be a part of the bandito's animal army.

Of course you are a member of the great Allosaurus Army. Your name is Lieutenant Baachram "Speed of Lint" Yewgene Lambkins. You're known for your rogue tactics and ruthless efficiency. While Juan hasn't sent the order for you to attack, you decided to take the initiative yourself. In the army, you're kind of a black... well, you know.

These pathetic humans are no match for your super sheep speed or "Shpeed", for short.

[Fengar]

>Sheep: Eat TLL's hat.
LS: Attack the sheep.

[Planet of the Japes]

Baachram Lambkins: As LS is building up speed to make a jump attack against you on your high ground, flash-step right in front of her, causing her to trip over you and fall on her face.

[DairunCates]

>Sheep: Eat TLL's hat.

"Seriously. What are you guys talking about?"

"You mean you can't feel the sheep 40 pound sheep standing on your head? Fascinating."

"I hope you're both hungry, because I'm making lamb-chops for dinner."


Foolish girl... She fell right into your trap.

Baachram Lambkins: As LS is building up speed to make a jump attack against you on your high ground, flash-step right in front of her, causing her to trip over you and fall on her face.

No one can match your Shpeed.


"I'm not going to lie, Sunset. That was embarrassing."

"Wait a second. Have I been eating my bandanna in my sleep again?"

What do you do?

[Bloddyredcommie]

We need to unseat this Wooly Pest.

HM: Tell Laverne to get a good look at the surrounding countryside. Hopefully, his response will be to jump really really high.

[Fengar]

>HM: Tell Laverne to start banging his head into the ground, it'll at least get the sheep off of him.
