A place to lean and be happy! All offered by your friendly neighborhood GM.

...and that's why you never, ever talk down to a woman who rose from practically nothing to be a Kai.  It's one of the ways to really get on Rain's bad side, and it's not so much of a tirade as it is calling Valador out on the proverbial carpet- either shut me up yourself, or prove everything I've said to be true and get out of the way.

Anything to shut this guy up, sheesh. :)

Lol, I have the funny feeling he'll jut take his ball, go home, then tell all his friends we were jerks, but still fun to see.

Sun Snake won't agree, but I think it's fun to see :D


Edit: Hey, when did snake double speak? I mean, any more than needed so this jerk doesn't get on our case. He might be the main villian, you know - or blab to them!

Rain's seen this behavior before from a lot of the younger initiates- they learn a few disciplines, and some of them think it means that they can lord over their compatriots who haven't learned as many.  Usually calling them on the proverbial carpet takes care of them- and if he DOES take a shot at her, well, he's going to look like a complete jackass.

I think Rain has the upper hand this time around.  Though I pity the fool if he drops the "W" word on her...

Even if Rain is completely correct, an arrogant character isn't going to capitulate. Sadly, plotwise, he probably does have the upper hand against us somehow, and we'll pay for everything we say or do at some point later!

It's still not a reason not to smack him around though. What's the point of being players otherwise :D

Shark is very happy the three of you are leaving right now. . .

erm wow, clearly I am in a terrible mental state.

What I meant to say is....

Shark is not very happy with the three of you that are in the Skyship group right now. . .

No reason to be :)

Actually this might be setting things up nicely for Swift to sneak into Valador's good books later when she has to comfort him after her scary friends had a go at him ;)  hehe.

I thought that was Shark's plan? Well, you can of course work on it togheter... just wondering here. :)

Also, I love how this conversation almost litersally exploded! And can I say, this seems like the Maakengorge group managed to act all togheter against a common foe; that's something I loved to see, most definitely. It seems like putting Valador here for you all to met was the perfect choice! ^_^

Although you guys realise that if Valador is indeed the Big Bad, he'll probably be ordering all his henchmen to give you lot a little extra attention now.

Oh well, that'll leave less of them behind to hassle Team Sky Pirate :)  hehe

What's this sudden turn-around? Wasn't he supposed to be just a nuisance? :)

Turn around?

Swift just said she thiknks of him as a villain now - and a villain is more dangerous then a nuisance, or am I getting that wrong? :)

I thought everyone thought of him as a villain...  (O.o)

Don't mind me then, carry on with the brawling :)  hehe.

Lol, yeah, but to be fair Swift's thought he's probably the main villain for a while now, right? :)


It's only Banedon that's tried to play him down by calling him a nuisance!


I have no idea what he is... he's so provocatively arrogant and brash that it's a perfect cover for what he really is. Or if he is exactly as he appears to be, then the real question is - what does he truly treasure above his own personal power? Or what is his own personal power for?


Edit: Oops, double posted. Lol, yeah, I think swoft's the only one throwing around accusations and thinking that not only is there definitely a traitor in the brotherhood, but it must be Valador! Sun Snake's just wound up by and vulnerable to his personality for a variety of reasons!
This message was last edited by the player at 19:21, Sat 07 Apr 2012.

Oh, I'm pretty sure it's been you players, and not Banedon, to call him a nuisance first. Then again, perhaps I'm wrong... to Banedon, he's most definitely a nuisance, that's true. :)

As for what his arrogance hide, or if it's actually how he really is... you'll have to discover by yourself! ^_^

Actually Swift plays her cards pretty close to her chest.
Although she occasionally gives away hints of what she's thinking, she does have the ability to just go completely "blank" on the outside and give no hint at all of what sinister thoughts are drifting around her mind.
She has let her guard down a little bit with regards to the rest of the team, but someone like Valador might have difficulty getting much out of her...  Unless he can read her mind of course!

Well, I have to admit his personality was a bit of a grind... but at the same time, Rain's beginning to think that she might have gone a little too far... it's not much that can really set her off that badly, but at the same time, she's been a little selfish... and she's realizing that she can't blame this one on the city, and she's going to be chewing on that boot in her mouth all the way to the Maakengorge if Shark gives her the "why are you making our job here in Toran that much harder?" speech.

She may not look it, but she's actually quite sensitive to what others feel about her... it's just an offshoot of her psychic powers- she deals with minds so much that it makes her a bit... weird about it sometimes.

Well, I think Valador's constructed to push all our buttons outrageously, so we can't be blamed for taking the bait, right? :D It was sweet to see Rain defend Sabre and also fun to see her pit her intellect against Valador's. And score a point or two along the way.


Also, Sun Snake cannot - while Valador is looking - even dare to indicate this, but the second Rain Feather put herself front and centre, he will be very worried for her. After all, there's the whole witch thing to worry about. Bringing the ire of one of the triad - who can swap the brotherhood's opinion - might not be the best idea!

Another reason other than Shark's intervention and his own shock at his actions for him to fold so completely! He should be called Penetant Snake. He strikes out, then feels bad about it.

Alos, a contrite Rain Feather and Sun Snake might mean Savre Fox can stick the boot in more to Valador. There's not been enough of that so far! :D

It seems like you three Snake, Shark and Rain - want to speak with each other, right? I will have Valador focus on the newly arrived Swfit then, to give you the time to discuss things if you want to.

Also, if you prefer the discussion to be had in a separate, private thread, tell me and I'll open one. :)

Actually, it seems like Shark wanted to drag all three of us for a dressing down, but then Swift Fox has re-emerged so not sure if it's still an issue?

So Rain Feather seems happy to go, and Sun Snake would go across if Laughing Shark pulled him across, and Sabre will have to say for himself, but I guess it's actually up to Shark if it's a private conversation or not and whether she still wants to have it, or whether she'll do it obliquely whilst reporting to Swift Fox.

I see.

We'll wait for her to express herself then! ^_^ No problem for me, and really, the situation is very interesting right now.

Not sure we've really seen Shark get properly angry yet.  This could be fun...  Or dangerous!  hehe.

Also I have to go out for most of the day here so I might be slow in replying.  Just FYI...

Given what day today is, I expect that to be true for most everybody - for me it will be, at least.

But I can be sure I'll be able to post something before going to bed tonight, so while I might be less active, I do will be able to at least update you all, if the situation requires it. :)

Thanks for the warning, anyway! ^_^

Sorry, I thought the 'the whole goup leaves, Swift's group gets teleported back' was mentioned as an option IC as well as OOC. I see it was just the suggestion of the Skyrider leaving now and us later with Valador was as far as Sun Snake got.

That's I suggested us summarising thigns OOC, so we could take a final discussion on options as having been quickly done. It's harder to do IC.

Uh? I'm pretty sure Valador got the message as "we all leave with the Skyrider, then Valador teleports Swift's group back". Wasn't that the plan you proposed him IC?

Yes, that was the plan Sun Snake asked from Valador. But Swift Fox in character doens't know it, because Sun Snake only got as far as suggesting the other way around. I had thought we'd managed to get as far as discussing the first option IC.

Sorry for the delays! YEsterday was so pretty I had to spend it all in the mountains with a puppy. . . and so I did :X

Yeah, Sharks talking to Rain and Snake - there a semi-private corner they can disappear to? Her rage has subsided every so slightly since Valador's response, but it may still involve some agressive behaviors on her part :X

I'll wait another post to see what happens with Snake and Valador, if either of them leave or follow or waht not.

Snake's done with Valador, Shadow seems happy to have Valador concentrating on Swift, so feel free to pull all three of us across to a private corner.

Posted anyway. Oh, and speaking of sunny walks, yeah, had one of those on Friday, very nice. Sadly, the weather has been horrible yesterday and today, so potential trips to Bournmouth and also around the Old Basing area have seemed very unappealing. I have no sweet puppy wanting walks to force me out and stop being lazy! :(

Yep, as Snake said, Laughing Shark, if you want to pull the others away, you're free to.

Hope it wasn't a Helghast Puppy (O.o)  hehe
Just kidding.  Sounds nice :)


Anyways, yeah, Swift had the idea of making it appear as if the entire group except one was leaving on the Skyrider so that any enemies left in Toran would think they only had one Kai to deal with.
Obviously Banedon knows how many are in each group, and with Valador latched onto us during the journey, chances are he'll figure out who is in each group too if he doesn't already know, especially as he has to teleport the other group back.
Just have to trust him to keep quiet about it then...  Not that Swift will, since she doesn't trust anyone anyway.

That said though, since her quiet chat with Sun Snake, she seems to have become a little more open to following his lead, hence why she's holding back for him to decide how they're leaving :)
So in my imaginary map of Swift's character evolution, "Loose Cannon" Swift Fox has now become "Slightly Unpredictable and Potentially Dangerous Follower" Swift Fox.
And once the groups split, she'll be upgraded to "Slightly Unpredictable and Potentially Dangerous Leader" Swift Fox :)

Oh, things are getting interesting, indeed. :)

I'll wait for an answer from Snake and Rain (and Sabre, assuming he's in that group as well), then Valador will lead you to the Skyrider, and we'll be ready to have you all leave Toran. :)

Well that's the cool thing about our characters Swift. They can seem to have some evolution when everything's reasonably calm, but that doesn't mean it's not a slow, shallow evolution with many opportunities for relapse and recovery to something more permanent.


And awwwww, that's sweet about following Sun Snake's lead. Right when he's being the worst leader ever :D

Heh. I blame Snake for this! He;'s turned Shark into a preachy lady too! /dodge responsibility.

Anyways, sorry for being a jerk. 'prolly ready to move back soon.

Don't apologize, it was a fun read! ^_^

Damn right! It's funny to have preachy Sun Snake being unable to follow his own advise and getting yelled at by the person he said not to be so flippant at the start of the game :) Hopefully it's as much of an indication of Sun Snake's own mental state right now as a testiment to Valador being ...well, Valador!

Yep, and be sure that you've not seen the end of Valador's meddling either... although, of course, one you depart, he'll be interacting more with the Toran team. :)

But don't worry: I'll have plenty of irritating character on the Maakengorge mission too... especially because you choose the long way around rather than the fast one, which means I'll be able to have you met with characters you'd have missed otherwise.
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:07, Sun 08 Apr 2012.

Hmm, my curiosity is somewhat piqued...  (o_o)

Oh, just keep following Sun Snake's, Rain Feather's and Sabre Fox's adventures once the teams split, and your curiosity will be satisfied. :)

Ah, you meant Maakengorge not Toran earlier? Yeah, I figured there might be some interesting crew on the Skyrider. Until right now, I forgot that there will be dwarves, for a start! :p

No, I meant Toran earlier.

Valador will be interacting much more with the Toran Team (Swift Fox, Laughing Shark, Dusk Rat) once you split.

And you, the Maakengorge Team (Sun Snake, Rain Feather, Sabre Fox) have picked the long route (Skyrider) rather than the short route (Valador), so you'll be meeting different characters.

I had both routes planned since the beginning, with different encounters on each one already sort-of scripted. I just did not really expected you lot to pick the long route, that's all. But I'm happy you did, because it's the more interesting one. :)
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:36, Mon 09 Apr 2012.

I meant you accidentally said Toran the second time - "But don't worry: I'll have plenty of irritating character on the Toran mission too... "

Hence Swift getting confused :)


But interesting to know the short cut isn't just about the journey, but who will or won'#t be around the destination. Interesting...

:D I didn't noticed!

Going to correct that; can see why Swift was confused now.

Sabre - you would have never seen Shark mad like this before. She may go on playful angry rants occasionally, but never actually truly in an state of anger or rage. 'tis a very rare occurrence indeed.

Also I suppose I'll make it in my next IC post when ever that occurs, but her rant is pretty much just aimed at Snake and Rain, she's pretty much left you outa this. Hell, you didn't really need to come!
This message was last edited by the player at 20:13, Mon 09 Apr 2012.

I think you mean "Sun Snake, Sabre Fox, and Rain Feather" for the Maakengorge team, Shadow. I don't think Magnamund could honestly handle two Laughing Sharks. :)

Yep, you're right Rain! ^_^

Sorry for leaving you out of the team formation in there, yesterday I clearly was way too tired when I wrote it down. Am I forgiven? :)

Of course.

It's interesting to write Rain as caring- she wasn't exactly raised to care about anyone other than herself (running from place to place didn't give her time to form close relationships).

Yeah, it's cool to see Sabre and Rain start to form a friendship. Well, at the moment a friendship, anyway!

Right, friendship. Hah, I see the Skyrider being renamed the Love Boat come the end of this mission. . .

Well, that would be interesting. :)

There's even the potential to form two couples, since Alyne's along too! Isn't that right, Rain? ;D

Well, it seems you four have resolved that interesting conversation. Are you ready to go on? Snake's plan has you all going to the Skyrider and Swift agreed, so unless you have anything else to do, Valador will lead you to the skydocks.

Let me know! ^_^

I did want Snake to quickly say something to the other two without Valador hearing, don't know if Sabre wants another go-around too?

No problem, I'll wait for everybody. :)

I imagine Swift is just observing all of this with detached amusement.
She's following Sun Snake's lead for now anyway, unless some dark thought in her mind compels her to start going solo again...

I'm actually ready to push us all forward; in fact, I'm working on the post and will have it up in 3 hours at the very longest. I'm just trying to make it a bit more interesting an update by pushing you up to the Skyrider in one go, which means I'm checking the books for skyship description to base my own on.

Just be patient, everybody, and we'll be moving to the next scene very soon! ^_^

I was sort of hoping Dusk Rat might get a chance to have a bit of a wash before we went anywhere, but maybe she can do that when we get back to Toran or something. She's stil covered in snake gore, remember ;).

It gives her more character to keep the gore :)

Yep, nothing says intimidation to your enemies more than looking as if you've been on a horrific murderous rampage just before meeting them :)  hehe.

I probably forgot to mention it, but when the healer healed your back wound, she also used a slight cleaning spell on your clothes, so you're not "covered in gore" anymore, though you still look ragged and are surely in need of a bath.

You'll be able to get that once you get to the room you'll be occupying in the spyre, so don't worry overly much... it's just the needed time to complete Sun Snake's diversion, then you'll be free to ask Swift to let you rest for the day - since if you don't ask, I think there's a good chance of Swift wanting to just leave. :)

We will send Serenity over to give out murder tips 0.o

If you're worried about the gore, you could always use Valador's laundry service.
Just give him a hug or something, it'll catch him by surprise since he probably wouldn't expect that right now.  His aura cleans stuff! :)

Yeah, but then Dusk Rat would have to explain why she did it. :)

Also, I hope you all liked the description! ^_^
This message was last edited by the GM at 12:58, Tue 10 Apr 2012.

Well she could just say she felt sorry for him because of all the others saying nasty things about him.
Even hooded mysterious Kai might be nice people :)

Can they? :)

Maybe...

Ah well, it was just a thought.  Making a little change from the monotony of everyone plotting to stab each other in the back, hehe :)

Aw, but I like the backstabbings! :(

You just need to have a very mysterious plot instead of backstabbings like im twisting ;) haha.

I can almost see facial reactions with each post ;)
This message was last edited by the player at 13:40, Tue 10 Apr 2012.

That's because your plot is interesting.

I like my own better though! ;)

Haha, its rather fun to write posts when you know no one knows the answers ;)

I like them both :)
Curious to see if Valador will turn out to be a good guy after all, hehe.

And I'm wondering what new revelations Moon Dancer will be confronted with next :)
(And also if Serenity will get to stab any more NPCs!)
This message was last edited by the player at 13:55, Tue 10 Apr 2012.

Depends if they want to follow the trail ;) Ive a large suspicion that Serenity will vote in favour of that!

Pfft. Follow a trail to more death and mayhem? Never. Also - boat! :D

Flying boat! :D

I think Swift likes it on the Skyrider.  She doesn't wanna go back to Toran :)  hehe.

Well, she'll have to, eventually... unless you want to attempt and bribe Sun Snake into exchanging missions? ;)

Nah, I think Sun Snake is too noble and all that to accept bribes...

Although maybe if Swift offered to stab Valador for him later...  hehe :)

That's be a pretty hard task to take on; you're braver than I though! ^_^

I'm not that brave, I just have occasional suicidal moments...

I think Swift Fox has a little bit of a death wish in her anyway, but she's the sort who'd prefer to take her enemies down with her if possible ;)

Whahahahahha! The plan has worked!

To change the subject completely, has anyone seen the new Unlce Nus Ekans's Wonderous Emporium of Stolen Shinies, Assassination and Negotiable Tolerance?




I think Sun snake would prefer a solid alibi and do it himself :p

Or you and Alyne could do it togheter and that claim it was an accident. That would be feasible too, isn't it? :)

Yup. Just need to ask the dwarves to increase the size of the portholes first, and then he can accidentally and brutally fall out of an open window after accidentally and brutally stabbing himself repeatedly in the back with two swords.

Well those sort of accidents can happen to anyone...

I think Swift knows a few people who have been unfortunate enough to suffer such accidental mishaps ;)
*whistles innocently*

I know, yet you try to tel people that, and they claim they can't understand you over the clink of the chains they've put you in. What's up with that?

Really, people need to understand that circumstances can cause such mishaps from time to time. :)

Ill make a post tomorrow, been very busy today!

Hey guys, a quick hypothetical question for you all - if two people were trying to dispose of a hacked up dead body on a skyship, what non-chalant tune is best to whistle whilst doing it? Going unnoticed is important, but I think a feeling of innocence evoked by the tune would trump that if you're torn.

I was thinking of 'Stand By Me', because of the irony of the film being based on Stephen King's 'The Body'

Maybe "Whistle While You Work"? You know, a nice, innocent tune about clearing up somewhere that's a bit messy... ;)

Perfect!


Next question, what soaks up copious amounts of mage blood...

Should have asked Valador to teach you that spell that cleans everything.

Err, assuming he's still capable of telling you...

Why wouldn't he be able to? O.O


To change the subject completely, even if you use someone's head as a ventrilloquist's puppet, he can't actually tell you anything you don't already know :(


Also, to actually change the subject completely, it's cool to see the others speaking... even if it is about how to leave the Kai quickly :p

Well Swift is a bit of a renegade at heart (and probably a little bit crazy as well, hehe).

Perfect leader / buddy cop material...

I don't know... Swift's current buddy would be Shark, not you, Sun Snake, and that feels much more of a "Thelma & Luise" pair then a buddy cops dynamic, if you ask me.

Which you didn't, but as GM, I can give my opinion anyway, right? ^_^

I meant Swift would be either the perfect leader or one half of the buddy cop. But hey, I think Swift Fox and Sun Snake would be cool as buddy cops now! Once Sun Snake's dumped the body, can Swift and I wun away to fight crime in a wacky way? I can be days away from retirement if it would help :D

Otherwise, Thelma and Louis sounds cool!

Would this involve Swift having to rescue Sun Snake from a latrine that's been rigged with a magical explosive at some point?

(That might be quite amusing to RP actually...)

There are two important questions. 1) Why am I still up at 12.30 on a 'school' night? *Answer: Legend of Grimrock, http://www.grimrock.net/ )

2) Is it 1,2,3 then go, or 1,2, 3/go? (Answer: 3 then go, it has to be!)

Sorry - where is everyone? I thought Rain was below deck and it was just Swift and Shark on the deck? Ah confusion!

No, only Sun Snake and Alyne where below deck. Sabre, Rain and Dusk Rat are all above it, they're just in different areas.

Clearly, in game, Rain just noticed that you were speaking, and moved closer to add her own thoughts to the conversation.

I can see this 'renegade' Kai stuff coming up later 0.o

You think so? Curious, I think so, too! ^_^

All of these conversations are setting the themes of the game quite nicely, I think; you all can bet these are all things that will be explored later on! XD

You'll see... when the time comes, you'll see. :)

Why do I seem to think that both Legacy and Rebirth have a lot of roots from Culling? haha.

Seems like both games take place in an AU from it, lol

That's because they kind of does - yours more than mine though. :)

Well, Culling was a prequel at its heart, so really, it's pretty easy to reference it in many things; and there's only so much you can do with a full Kai group of players. And I think it's pretty clear, even from my game's title, that this game is actually meant as a "spiritual successor" of Culling.

Yeah, I'm vicariously seeing to completion an abandoned game I liked. I'm so sad, aren't I? :P

That said, I do think that enough originality can be managed to make our games stand out on their own. Wheter they actually will... I'll let that to the players to decide, at least as far as this one is concerned! ^_^

Well I had mentioned before when I spoke of running my own game many moons ago, about having a follow on from Culling in the LW era, possibly in the NO series.

However it was after the end of Culling that the final product really took place with the plot I have today. Its quite nice though that many plot points have taken the players and the readers by suprise so far ;)

The arrival of Rune Star was written before the group even left the Monastary. Of course he was always gonna have a flashy entrance, it wouldnt have been right otherwise from my point of view ;)

It terms of previous events, im taking a lot of the events based on notes and talks from Zipp I had post game. Of course the actual adventure we all underwent are canon since we made them, however a lot is based on my own interpretation such as what happened to the Mugtaz-Nad and the Soul Spear for example.

So im hoping that it stays original while keeping some roots together :)

Seems to me like it's holding on well enough so far. It surely is interesting. :)

The big twist will be when they all learn they are to be executed for treason against the Kai.

.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.

Maybe that should have been in a private line? ;)

Nah, no need. I mean, it's pretty evident by now that the plot is headed that way, isn't it? ;)

I blame the red headed murder personally 0.o

Which one? ;)

Ssssssshhhhhhhh!

Dont spoil it! haha

Not at all.  I really wish it hadn't been abandoned.  And not just because I had a really cool entrance planned for Moon Dancer in that one ;)  It was a really well planned out story that I'd love to have read all the way through to the ending...

I guessed there'd be a link back to Culling as soon as Rune Star appeared, but I didn't think it would run so deep into the plot like that, was a very nice little twist :)
I hope this one finishes :)
Curious to see if Moon will survive all the way to the end (without having a nervous breakdown from post-traumatic stress!  lol).  Also I'm kind of hoping to learn more about Serenity, to find out what turned her into the fiery red ball of death that she is, I get the feeling there's a deeper storyline behind her...  :)

I'm curious about seeing where Sabre will lead the plot as well... it surely is an interesting idea. And I do think he's skilled enough to bring it to completion; that's why I'm so curious about it! ^_^

Depends if they all get killed or not first ;) I mean they nearly killed Banedon in the Toran attack! haha

Well, that's one of the dangers of the job, isn't it? :)

I hope everybody will survive, though; they're all interesting characters.

Lol, I presumed it was Serenity lived or the rest lived! I didn't realise it was possible for both to come out alive :) Not without the use of chains, anyway...

I'm just hoping my schedule doesn't slow me down anymore than it already has >.<

I do apologize for Serenity's slowness. . . had twin birthdays this week and choose this operation time to start studying for the MCAT. I'll hope to have a response in both games tonight. . .


And sorry for the shock! Some reason I thought it was just the Toren team on the deck!

No problem Shark, is not really that big an issue. :)

Ok, important question for the group on deck:

Is any of you going to say anything? I have to make Alyne arrive on deck, but I need some small time to pass, as currently we have Valador having just entered Sun Snake's cabin.

So, if you want to discuss something before she gets back, I'll give you a full day to do so; then, tomorrow at this time, I'll be making the Alyne post either way, adding a "some minutes later" at the beginning if nobody posted anything.

Just telling you, so that you know and can get a couple more posts in if you want to! ^_^
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:18, Mon 16 Apr 2012.

I don't think Swift Fox will say anything more now, unless Shark or someone else decides to press her further on what she was saying to Valador.
For some reason she seems to have changed the subject rather abruptly when Sabre joined the group, hehe :)

I'm just heading off to sleep a bit later than I probably should have for now, so there may be a slight lack of response for a while...

Oh, I wonder what Alyne's going to say....

Yeah, I do too. ;)

Get her on deck then! lol. Fox is just making idle banter so not much really to say

Banter is fun! ^_^

Dusk has yet to say anything, and there's the chance Rain or Shark might want to add something more; I gave them a full day to do so, it would be unfair to not wait for it to be over before posting myself. :)

Well im just waiting for someone to say something I can make fun out of ;)

Indeed, fun to see the rest making small talk while Sun Snake is fighting for his very life in his silenced cabin! :(

Ill try to say 'i told you so' regarding Valador :)

Yep, lives and beliefs are on the line on this cruise! Who'd have thought? ;)

PS. I am happy to move along at any time now

You can't spell 'Laughing Shark's rampant paranoia' without Laughing Shark :)

Doesn't help that you sent your little minion who its been well established that Shark doesn't like to share the news, while you hang out below still conversing with the dude :P

That and I played your game.  . . I know you plot! PLOTTER!

The player is not the character. Just because I was a manipulative GM and have a histpory of playing odd characters does not mean I cannot play a straight, noble character. Sun Snake's just noble and good. Completely. unfailingly. Hugely. Almost...unbeleiveably. Still, that's jsut him. Being able to read minds and seemingl;y being able to be innocuous means nothing, it's just part of his humble nature. Not a deceptive nature. I'm saddened by your aspersions towards my compeltely, untrustably noble character revealing something liek that while sending Alyne away.


I mean, a lesser person would wondering what they're now REALLY talking about, that Sun Snake needs to disguise it by Alyne spilling the beans like that.


O.O

I feel that's exactly the point Shark was trying to make with her last question <.<

Hye, what about Sun Snake's message through Alyne of blind, unquestioning unity and not asking questions? :(

Swift Fox thinks he's really naive, hehe ;)

That would not be an unreasonable opinion :D

:D You all don't even know how funny all this suspicion is for me to read!

Because we're all Helghasts and don't know it?

How could you be an Helghast without knowing it? 0.o

The best disguise is one where even the person wearing the disguise believes it :)

Huh, I don't appear to be posting in the main thread. How odd....
This message was last edited by the player at 22:38, Tue 17 Apr 2012.

Very, very odd indeed... :)

Obvious GM is obvious, obviously... :)

Ah, but am I really that obvious?

Or is my beiong obvious my very special way to be devious? ^_^

Hye, did you know GMs can post as any character they like? Fun fact...nothing to do with anything ....

I do know it. In fact, I've done it before. It's a very useful feature. :)

Ah, damn... I've got to disappear for two hours... the organization I'm part of is eating out to celebrate the end of the school year, and I've got to go get ready and walk over there... I should be back before nine eastern, but I wanted to give you guys fair warning. :)

Well, I think Sun Snake is gone to sleep (as will be I, shortly) so it's really not a problem. I'll post a Valador answer shortly, then you all can think things over and decide what new questions you want to make. :)

Well it's midnight here, so I have to go to bed! I might not sleep, but I have to go to bed and at leats put my head down (while playing a video or mp3 or something)

Post made ready for you to see when you get back. Also be nice to see Swift Fox's reaction. Will she put the dagger away? :D


Edit: Double post!

Well she thought you were being turned into an evil mind puppet or something and was prepared to kick down the door and make with the stabby-stabby action :)

Take it as a compliment that she didn't just do nothing and then later on corrupt Alyne by teaching her how to lace Valador's next meal with Graveweed in revenge for your unfortunate demise.  hehe.


Anyways, I'm heading off to sleep now too, night all :)

Awww, it's so sweet, all working together to kill anyone we think might be evil!


So, it seems like Valador and co will depart before anyone gets to let Sun Snake know of the Valador is the left handed mage revelation! That will be fun.

SS: Whew, glad Valador's gone
Rain: Yeah, with him being the robed guy and all
SS: WHAT? *shrug* oh well, whatcha gunna do. Apple?

As long as he doesn't know she's the one they might be looking for, well, I don't think Rain would be in any danger.  But we've been fooled before...

I think they're looking for Dusk Rat, personally.

At least they arnt looking for me :)

They will be when we put the wig and dress on you!

I think you have my portrait confused with another male FF protagonist 0.o

Indeed. :)

I think it's now time for me to warp the Toran group back where it belongs, but in the interest of allowing anybody who wants to make them one last parting comment, I'll let two more hours pass before updating with the group leaving.

Incidentally, this will cause me to open the new thread which, as I'm sure you all have guessed by now, will be aimed to the Maakengorge team, whereas the Toran team will remain in the thread named after them. Just giving you an head up on that. (D

And while Rain could pass for Rinoa, she's no Tifa. :)  But yeah, I just had a few questions on the split, Shadow:

1) Will all of us still be able to post in the same OOC thread?

2) Will we be able to see each other's in-game thread?

Probabally yes for the OOC thread I reckon, but no for the main thread. haha.

Besides, its a good mystery wondering what the others are up to!

I will let both main thread public, and of course you can all keep posting on the same OOC thread.

Those who don't want to read the other team's adventures for roleplay purpose are free not to, but the split might go on for a long time, and I don't want the players to feel like the others are not in the group; I'm trusting you all not to use any metagame knowledge acquired this way to influence the way your characters act.

I'm a trusting person, you see. :)

Post coming in shortly - about half an hour or so.

Definitely not playing Shadow Turtle anymore then ;)  hehe

:) Yup, it's very relaxing. Shadow was a control freak, and that's something I really can't stand - but then, Shadow was built to be grating, so... ^_^

Beside, I'm being a nice GM here, all friendly and fluffy, because I know none of you would dare betray my trust and suffer the consequences, would you? ;D

Snubbed by Dusk Rat! :( There's no camaraderie amoungst Divination users, apparently! :(

Nice to know that Swift isn't taking the role of the distant unfriendly member of the team anymore :)
(At least not as much...)

LOL, I presume we posted at the same time Rain, or else that was a fun way to start the mission. "Should we go get rest or discuss stuff....oh, ok, I guess that was a vote for yes *sniff*"

I like it; it's appropriate to the situation for Rain to be tired and not willing to discuss strategy at the moment, even to the point of snubbing Sun Snake's suggestion on it.

Or alternatively, she was still so dazed by Valador's awesomeness that she just didn't hear you. ;)

Cool regarding the getting of items for Alyne. She already has a rope and blanket courtesy of Swift Fox, so Sun Snake will just be looking for a weapon's belt, backpack, some spare provisions for her - though that would lead to checking on available travel provisions for the whole group - and perhaps a tinderbox in case she gets separated from the others. And of course, Sun Snake would look for his firewood axe again, I am sure :)

Just so you Toran guys know, I'll be checking in on your thread. So alreayd I'm laughing hysterically and shaking my head for poor Sun Snake, he really has no idea what's goign on.


Or does he...?

Well Im not actually reading thier thread for a while. Letting a few pages fill up before I did in for a nosy ;) haha.

I'll try not to ruin the brutal murders then. Sorry, almost spoiled the nature of the murders there!

Haha, maybe there is murder happening on this board :) Pity you cant see a certain private thread :)

Hmm, now I want to know...  hehe.


@Sun Snake
I don't think Snake is quite sneaky enough to do stuff like that without being figured out.
Hence why Swift just prefers to stab folks and be done with it.  Still, if Valador wants to play it sneaky, she can do that too... ;)
This message was last edited by the player at 19:14, Thu 19 Apr 2012.

Aww, apparently he's not considered straight laced enough to get away with sneaky stuff. To change the subject completely, how's your posioned provisions? :)

You mean the ones I swapped with yours when you weren't looking? ;)

*turns green and looks for the antidote cupboard* Lol, April Fools'! *runs off*

Why did you guys let Taolor get away? You could have stood him beside Dusk Rat and gently repulsed her in whichever direction you want her to go :)


Glad the fuzzles survived the transfer unharmed, Sun snake might not have noticed them if they'd stayed!

PS: Dusk Rat - I hope that was written open ended enough for you, if you so decide, to come with us. Shark did ask, after all.

I'm currently considering Dusk Rat to be coming along.

Of course, if she feels like changing her mind, she can, but it seemed like she was willing to follow you two from her last post.

Let us know, Dusk Rat! ^_^

Im having fun in my thread :) Snake and Rain will be pleased to know I may be doing us all a favour ;)

Wasn't the orphanage inthe slums, aye? Or did I mis-remember and its in the docks :XI'd feel really bad if that were the case.

Snake's plotting your downfall in his dreams his player is wondering when the ambush will happen in the other thread :P

The orphanage is in the slums Shark, you remember right. They were just more cheery during daytime... or peraphs it was just that Rain Feather's company was so good you weren't paying attention to your surroundings. You tell me! ;)

Well in the waking world im corrupting your student against you ;)

*sniff* So all the ladies are either leaving Sun Snake behind to go to Toran or running off with Sabre :( Perhaps Sun Snake can grow a beard and carouse with the dwarfs while Sabre gets the shinies and the girls :(

Well its not my fault you sent Snake to the land of Nod while he corrupted your student! haha

True. Curse his inability to plot unless he's safely asleep with his Kai-cloaked stuffed frog Mr Hoppysnuggles :(

That's -10 cool points right there. You are no longer welcome on team Shiny Shark.


(PS that made me laugh)

Well since ive successfully corrupted Alyne and Rain is on my side too with a bit of handholding ;) I think I know who will be taking the Sommerswerd :)

Laughing Shark?

You know if we actually bothered to look at the Skyrider more closely, we'll actually see it's just a normal boat being pulled along by a flock of albatrosses :(

Meanwhile Team Shiny Shark is going to snag the Sommerswer, cause they are working with Valador. *sniff* I bet even Mr. Hoppysnuggles is plotting against me. But I can't stay mad when I look at his little green fuzzy face :D

That just reminded me of this picture for some reason:
http://icanhascheezburger.file...lm-cat-crazy-toy.jpg

Because there's a green fuzzy face? ^_^

By the way, Sun Snake, that made me laugh; now you'll have to describe the frog in the game! ;D

Well when the Kraan attack, and everyone looks to sun Snake's cabin for dynamic leadership, I'll be sure to write in great detail about Sun Snake's overlong onesy, his confused expression, his comfort blankie trailing on the floor, and him holding Mr Hoppysnuggles close.

Also, cool piccie :)

I want this to happen.

"I wanna overlong moralising bedtime story! Anna chocolate milk!" *pout* *foot stomp* *cuddles frog*

Now you're channeling Velena.

Lol, are you telling me I should have started Night to Forget a couple of hours earlier?


*Velena emerges from the chapel tower in an overlong Star-spangled onesy, a pouty  expression, well embroidered comfort blankie trailing on the floor, holding a beaten up Banedon action figure.*

"I wanna natha pillow! Anna hot chocolate milk with marshmallows!" *pout* *foot stomp* *cuddles Banedon* *lightning hand on passing solder* *snigger*

YES OH MY GOD YES! hahahahaha

The Banedon action figure is so totally win. One of those talking ones that says ridiculously corny things too! In a squeaky voice.

:D

Now THAT would have given the appropriate feeling to the game indeed! ^_^

Alls gone quiet on the Skystrider front 0.o ..............

Plotting Snake's I reckon!

Everyone else is asleep :p


I beleive we're just awaiting the Toran update and then we get to rock out in the Skyrider some more. I hope my student's still got both her arms!

Well.......... Maybe one and a half..........

Where's her head in all of this? It's still at least on...the Skyrider?

A dwarf ate it 0.0

Yep, that's what Groumor wants to talk about: cannibales Dwarves. :)

This is just a service message for the Maakengorge team, by the way: I'm waiting Rain Feather's reaction post before I go on with the plot. I apologize for the wait! ^_^

Well at least I know that if they try to canibalise me all I have to do is protect my knees :)

:) They can jump, you know.

Also, about Swift Fox's question: I think you'll see what's goin on at the proper time! ^_^

I will wait for Shark and Dusk reactions to what's going on before updaing again, though; I'm curious to see what everyone will do at this point, and the thughs will be studying the entire group's reactions, even though you singling yourself out like that will surely make an impression.

I decided that if I can't hide, I'll do the opposite instead :)  hehe.


What could possibly go wrong?
...Wait, don't answer that!

Ok, I won't. :)

*evil chuckle*

I like Shark's method. "YEah that annoying stuff? its us. Leave us alone or it gets wrose."

Whisper to Swift and Dusk, "please tell me that annoying stuff is one of you"

*shrugs and peers curiously at Dusk...*

:) It's fun to see the way you'r etackling this situation... and I'm very curious to see how Dusk Rat will react, as well!

Also, it's not just you, Shark, who forgot about the cloak; Swift did as well. She'd remembered to mask it last time as well... I guess my description of the slums lulled you all into a false sense of security? ;D

And now I really wanna know what their reactions are :D

http://www.sciencemag.org/cont...7e-8cd8-8043d2cc1d0e

I picked the wrong school! Dammit I should held out and gone to Aberdeen! Sorry rage share :P

Cool science though :X

*skips back to killing thugs*

What kind of rage are you sharing, may I ask? Just curious, it's all. :)

Rage for me going with the first school I got into instead of waiting till I got into a better one <.<

Lol, wait, my Aberdeen or a US Aberdeen?

Your Aberdeen. I want to be there so bad. Two years to finish my masters here then I'm moving to Scotland. Or going to med school. I can't decided. *curses*

Woohoo! Rain and snow and cold water beaches :D Go Team Aberdeen!

It won't let me read the full article :(

I thought something was going on in Aberdeen.  It's just about the only place in Scotland with any job openings left, lol.

It's just out of my travel range though, unless I get a job to pay for the travel costs...  Err, to travel there and get a job, with the travel money I made from the job I took to go there and get a job...
...
[ERROR: brain.exe has crashed!  Rebooting...]

Ok, back now.  Where was I?
Oh yes, Aberdeen.
Well if you ever get to move there, maybe me, you and Snake could meet up for a mad day out or something? :)

Doesn't sound that much different from where I'm living now! Granted we don't get much snow, but lots of rain and very cold beeches. But Aberdeen has ties to Ocean Labs and AWESOME deep-sea science, something Washington lacks.

Hehe! That would be delightfully evil >=) You could learn how irritating I can be in board games. The goal is not to win. The goal is to torment the other players until they want to punch you.


This is the way of the Michie.

Pity I live close to London now :(  I basically only make the long trek back during Christmas!

Aww.

I'm stuck in a little town on the west coast called Stevenston that probably doesn't even appear on the map.
Aberdeen is a couple of train journeys or a very very very long walk away, hehe.
Middle of nowhere by the sea...

Still, could always go for a day out in Glasgow or something :)

Bah! Fine, be that way! *pout*

Not like I've actually moved there or anything. It's just a dream :P

You'll have to give me some pub recommendations if I do end up in London for a week though! I like me some pubs. Damn now I'm hungry. /eyes anglerfish tissues in a box next to her.

Not that hungry though o.O

Sounds like he misunderstood Swift a little.  Or maybe he's too thick to think the situation over, either way Swift's patience is about to burn out in a rather catastrophic way, so I'll give Shark or Dusk a go at trying to talk him down before violence ensues here... ;)

:) Well, we'll have to see what happens then!

How funny would it be if Swift Fox were to run into the nexus blast and take that hit rather than the thug.

What I didn't say anything


/giggle

Nooo!  Don't give Shadow any more evil ideas!  :o

Nah, I'm making you coordinate; it's more awesome.

Sorry Swift, you posted when I was writing so I didn't noticed at first! Edited in the results of your actions now, though.

hehe and when you posted i was writing! /runs off to edit. OR just delte my post.

^_^ That was interesting; but I think the current result is more satisfying overall.

I wonder if your words will be enough to stop Swift, Laughing Shark?

And once again, while appearing to do nothing, Dusk Rat did half of the work by herself. I like the way she tries so hard to go unnoticed, yet is so determinant... :)

She's a bit more responsive to Shark at the moment, so she'll listen to her if she hasn't completely gone off the deep end (which she hasn't quite yet).

If it was someone like Sabre, who hasn't really gotten to know her as well, she might have kept attacking until physically restrained :)  hehe.
She would have tried not to kill him though.

I'll keep that in mind. Mwahahah

So how many people are reading both threads?

I am, and I'm going to go ahead and say Dusk Rat won't. How cryptic do we have to be refereing ot each other's threads? Cause, you knowe, lots going on in Toran!

I'm following everything, so you don't have to worry about spoiling anything for me. ;)

Jokes aside, I agree with Sun Snake; if, say, every member of the Maakengorge group is following what happens to the Toran team, then what happens to them can be discussed without any problem. So really, eveybody, do let us know your position about the "reading the other team's thread" matter! ^_^

A notice for all that might not remember it: non-lethal attack require that you either reduce all damage you inflict by 1, or, IF you have Weaponsmastery in the weapon you're fighting with, you can pay 2 WP instead. I've added the rule to the other ones on the "Game Rules" thread for future reference.
This message was last edited by the GM at 18:59, Tue 24 Apr 2012.

I'll reduce damage for this one

Boom! Go Team Kai Master! (Not aimed at my thread)

Sure it wasnt. . . :P

Spoilers: We arent going anywhere yet. The stuffed frog hasn't even been put back in Sun Snake's room yet!

Don't worry, I'll make sure the fire that's going to incinerate the skyrider while you're not aboard will not hurt your frog! ^_^

Wait, that was supposet to stay secret... oh, well, not like you lot can do anything about it, is it? ;P

Also, I agree that the Toran team was quite spectacular there.

In fact, now I'm going to make a post about that just for the fun of it... but it'll be an invisible post! 8D

Eh?
Making a post that no-one can read?

8D

That's what makes it fun! ;)

Anyway, I think I will give Dusk Rat the time to post a reaction before I let your attempt to awoken the thugh be successful.

By the way, Swift, do let me know if you're pulling your cloak in your backpack now that you've the time, ok? ^_^
This message was last edited by the GM at 21:25, Tue 24 Apr 2012.

I'll say yes, 'cos according to my character sheet it's already in my backpack.  I knew there was a reason I gave up the blanket back at the inn...  Just forgot I'd put it there, lol.

Seriously, my memory is so bad, I'm surprised I can even remember my own name sometimes :(


EDIT: Took me a while, but I found where I took the cloak off again - Post #882 in the "Six Kai, Two missions" thread :)
This message was last edited by the player at 22:50, Tue 24 Apr 2012.

Who are you again?

Umm...

Hang on...  I forgot where I left my reminder note...
*fumbles frantically through a series of Post-it notes stuck to the wall in every room of the house...*

Tattoos like Memento will help you. For example, I have "stab people" written on my right hand, and "don't" written on my left hand. And 9 days out of 10, I read both of them and everything works out well for everyone.

I can confirm that Wuffy is right - I won't be reading the not-my-group thread because I prefer to keep player knowledge and character knowledge as close as possible. I'll just get confused and stuff if I read what other people are doing.

Probably a good thing you're not reading the other thread.
Means you can't see what Sun Snake and Alyne are getting up to in their cabin...

I didn't think it was physically possible to do that!  Especially with a stuffed frog!  (O.o)

You really shouldn't tease Dusk Rat; just respect her decision! ^_^

Also, Swift, is that a hint that you're actually following the Maakengorge's group actions?

I just hope Sabre doesn't poke anyone's eye out wity the stuff he's doing in the cabin!


And ok, so for Dusk Rat's benefit we'll talk in code. So is everyone else scared about the smoking FROG that the CANDYSHIP of my group is heading towards? Do you think we'll be attacked by HUGS or LOVE?

Lol, I don't understand half of what you guys are talking about anyway, a lot of the time - anything that references canon stuff or previous games you've played I just tend to skim-read because I don't know anything about it ;).

Sorry, I'm evil and can never resist such temptation :)

Also yes, I'm taking a peek occasionally out of curiosity.
Don't worry though, the slightly weird way that my mind works means I can keep the part controlling Swift Fox separated from the rest quite easily, so she'll have no knowledge of things happening there.  :)

@Dusk Rat - if you want some turn about then, did you know a certain pixie-playing Dm of ours is a Lone Wolf fan? All the times I sideways mentioned ther old d20 Lone Wolf version of the game that I used the condensed skills from on our old D&D game, and I should have just mentioned it was Lone Wolf!


To the rest of you - that's just someone who played under me along with Ameena, who is now DMing Ameena and I elsewhere, who turns out to be a LW fan. So I have of course directed her to the various sites, so who knows, she might turn up one of these days!
This message was last edited by the player at 19:23, Wed 25 Apr 2012.

Well, if she happens around and want to reads the dozens of hidden threads, do tell them they only need ask; I'm always glad to have more people around who can appreciate the full picture! ^_^

Thanks, Shadow. I'll let her know if she shows an interest :)


And good luck with the hand in, Rain!

I was going to let Swift reply first to the folks, being madam leader and all. Busy day at work today but if no reply up by the time I head home I shall make one!

Yeah, I thought it'd be better to wait for other people to respond before I had Dusk Rat do anything...

:)

Well, I'm the last one that posted, so you can be sure the two people you've just met are not going to be the one who'll make the first move. I'm very curious to see what your team go, by the way! ^_^

Of course, if none of you want to do anything, you can just turn your back to the two armed people and go on walking, ignoring them; I'm sure nothing bad will come of it, and it's not like the fact they're following you is going to be a problem for your plans, is it? ;P

Sorry for the delay.  Kind of got majorly sidetracked here reading a different story, hehe.

Really now? Might I ask which story, or is that being too nosy? :)
This message had punctuation tweaked by the GM at 21:33, Fri 27 Apr 2012.

One concerning Dragon Knights, perhaps? :)

Nope, not that one :)  hehe.
Was "Homestuck" on MS Paint Adventures.

Well since ive nearly killed the party in that last fight I think they are taking a breather ;)

Yeah I saw that.
Poor Serenity :(

It could have actually been a lot worse! Lots of low rolling there, haha

You 1 EP reducing monster! I fear for Brave Hawk! :p

Hawk is just being tight and horading all his WP and not healing Serenity with Curing ;) haha

*shakes head at the horrible metagaming of Hawk and wait for him to be torn apart by Dragon Knights later*

I shall point out for the Maakengorge group that I'd like to give Rain a chance to says her own before pushing you forward; as she's said us that she wouldn't be around for a day, and then there's the weekend, I ask you to be a bit patient about it.

As for the Toran group... there's a very good reason you have yet to receive an answer. As soon as you actually receive it, you'll understand; however, due to reasons beyhond my control, I can't be sure you'll receive it before monday. I can't be sure that the answer won't be coming earlier - in fact, I really hope it would - but just in case, I feel it better to warn you about the possible delay.

Thanks to everybody for your patience! ^_^

*peers curiously at Shadow's mysterious ways...*
This message was last edited by the player at 14:00, Sat 28 Apr 2012.

Ive got plans for him and his insolence ;) haha

Well, my concerns were unwarranted; I'm happy about that! ^_^

I guess that explains my mysterious ways nicely, doesn't it?

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG! There's shoes down to £5 over at Shoeless!


Oh, also Frost Ferret seems to have posted somewhere or something.



Welcoem to the game Frost Ferret! :D Shadow's mysteriousness is revealed!

Also, I ahve no problem with a slow weekend, was at work for five ours early this morning, and will probably do the same tomorrow to ensure something ships come Monday!

OMG! It's Frostie Cakes!

*squeables*

I'm great with a slow weekend. Company in town so I'll be scarce :( Feel like this is the norm now *grumble grumble* for me I mean.

Mysterious Frostie Cakes no less...  :)

^{(mmm, cake...  *nibbles*)}

Anyways, welcome to the thread!
We could use the help since it feels like everyone is out to get us here, hehe.

Looks like Snake's team found some trouble too :)

Similar situation to one that Swift found herself in a while back there...

:) Yup! Indeed, Swift Fox, it's almost the same thing you went through... so don't spoil it for the others! ;D

As for your question, Sun Snake, I want to make it clear that you're not seeing these people yet - so you really only have the audio to go by; given that, whichever decision you make, I really can't say you what the outcome could be until you put it into practice.

Trouble? Where, behind the pleasant scrap merchants with the weird sense of humour?

And my question was to the team, not the GM :)

*gets out the popcorn and watches Snake's thread*

hehe :)

You're the one with a Helghast player about to kill you! Trust no one!

:) That'd be a fun development, wouldn't it be?

At least if I have to kill him I can steal his shiny arrow :)  hehe
D     >>--->

Besides you'll have your hands full with your pleasant scrap merchants ;)

Dusk Rat, I edited the color of the OOC portion of yours post; just thought I should tell you, for courtesy.
Maakengorge group, I'll be updating your thread shortly.

Becasue it's awesome and tasty sounding:

http://ewewgross.blogspot.com/...sh-slime-scones.html

I want try these....

:) It doesn't load the pictures for me, but I'll take you to your word for it.

Happy eating then! ^_^

Oh, did I typo the "darkgreen" tag thingy again? Oops, haven't done that for a while, lol.
This message was last edited by the player at 16:53, Mon 30 Apr 2012.

Yeah, pictures didn't load for me either. But you can always google search a hagfish if you so desire :)

Woah, woah, woah - I finally understand what's being referred to when I drop into the OOC thread and it's about killing my character!

That's it, Frost Ferret resigns from the order, leaves you all to your fate and goes to live in a tiny cottage somewhere and knit life-size replicas of all the Darklords.

*remembers how tall Zagarna is; buys stepladder*

Kill is such a strong word. We were just 'joking' about 'killing' you... wait, I guess I need to remove the quotation marks from one of those. Eh, who has the time these days!


And woah, has Shadow informed you what the penalty of being a rogue from the roder yet? That's right, you have to knit a second set of Darklords and knit a giant chessboard so people can play Darklord Battlechess.

Then we 'stab you' with 'sharp weapons'.

Hey! I wasn't talking about murder! I was talking about eating fish slime scones, thank you. No love, *sniffle* no love. . .

Me neither!

*wink*

Well murder could still be involved if we were talking about poisonous fish slime scones :)

I love poisons! That's why I gave some Graveweed to one of you at the start of the game.

However, it's not in their backpack anymore now... but I won't tell you who got it, and most importantly, WHERE it ended up being. Certain things are only for the GM to know! ^_^

It ended up in Shark's liquor flask, didn't it? damnit. . .

:) Didn't you stole Taolor's liquor for your flask?

I'm betting I know who!

You would, you mind reader! ^_^

Hang on, I've just real;ised something... did Sabre and Rain Feather just leave Sun Snake two Cener and three Vazhag to deal with??? That sounds...a little unfair...especially since Sabre has all the shinies like shields and high CSs!

I want some Calacena...
I've never gotten the chance to play with that stuff yet.  Just once I want to try driving someone literally insane instead of just vaguely creeping them out with Swift's clearly disturbed inner rage :)
This message was last edited by the player at 22:34, Mon 30 Apr 2012.

Yep, seems like it. They're so generous! ^_^

Well, I suppose you could share a bit of your part with Alyne, isn't it? I'm sure she can handle the two Ceners on her own without the slightest problem... what do you think? =P

As for the Calacena, Swift Fox, I'm sure you'll manage to get your hand over some if you talk with the right merchants! :D

*whistle* would shark do something like that?


yeah, yeah she would.

PS. what is QI?

I think Team Snake just went all kamikaze on us...  (O.o)'



This --> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/QI

It's good :)
This message was last edited by the player at 00:53, Tue 01 May 2012.

Well, if it's Team Snake, then it's all stealthy in the undergrowth then BOOM strike out and get crushed by a car! Woo...wait...


And lol, yeah Sabre, I'm worried about that not spear spear staff too - but not as worried as the fact that the strongest magical inclination ISN't coming from the big dude, but the woman Rain's running towards!  You know, the one Sun told Alyne to keep shooting at.... so many ways for this to end badly!

I need to catch up on your guy's thread. . . it sounds like fun. Dammit school!

Hee-hee - even reading that rather dry Wikipedia article on QI made me chuckle. :)

Indeed, it was quite funny for me too. Seems like an interesting quiz. :)

Yep.  "Quite Interesting" :)  hehe.
(Sorry, couldn't resist that)

But yep, it's good.  I used to watch it every time it was on :)

It's still being made - tickets for Series J are currently available. There is still one episode of Series I that hasn't yet been shown - one featuring Jeremy Clarkson that was cancelled at the last minute when it was supposed to be on 'cause it was right after he made a typical Clarkson-ish comment on another programme and the BBC went all nuts about it and he got in trouble and stuff.

Nice moves Sabre! Hopefully we can down these guys quick enough to help Rain, thought I think a few FPs spent mean she might be ok too....maybe...

I'm jealous of ye brits and all your awesome shows. Here in the states we just get crap like two and a half men. There is a reason I dun't watch TV anymore <.<

Oh, Rain's going to be okay, no problem. A 10 on a combat roll should possibly put her down, if not disable her.

Well I imagine the Armored guy that Fox is working on should be critically injured after the second roll of 8 Fox just made against him. Can I request from Shadow after this second round a battle update on our opponents stats please?

One more reason to move to Aberdeen then :)  hehe.
Not like we don't have more than our fair share of televised crap too.  Mostly in the form of a seemingly endless barrage of mind-numbing spirit-crushing "reality TV" shows.
(I swear if one more person mentions "X Factor" to me, I'm gonna beat them senseless and then steal their shoes!!)

I can't watch TV anymore though.  That hurricane that hit the UK in winter there ripped the dish off the wall and I can't afford a new one.
Not that I'm too bothered though.  Saves me having to pay the overpriced TV licence fee anyway.
I just use the TV to watch DVDs on now :)


Snake and Sabre are really kicking some butt here.  I imagined those enemies would have been stronger than that.  Hmm :)

Did you SEEEEE the EP of the Vazhag? Did you SEEEEE how low Sun Snake's CS is right now if he's supposed to start tanking anything? :(

Sabre's kicking butts and taking names, and Rain Feather is no doubt cariving her initials in to the forehead of her opponent using nothing but her brian with her cool rolls.



Funnily, I seem to be watching more American stuff right now. The only British shows I see are Merlin and Doctor Who live, though I have a TV licence I actually watch on iPlayer anyway. I have a few other thigns on DVD I have yet to watch!

Killing the Knight then Snake! Ill let you take on the others this round then come and save you ;)

You got it :D Then we'll round on the tall Cener, sit on the wagon, grab some popcorn, and watch the ladies beat the snot out of their respective foes. Or you can go rescue Alyne if needed. :)

Sun Snake, I'm sensing a misunderstanding on your part. Sabre Fox meant to write "I'M killing the knight", as is apparent from his updated post.

So... are you two going to agree on who's fighitng who? ^_^

Sorry, I misread. Umm, I guess ignore the second post and delete it? And since you can't stun and attack, I guess I need to roll for the second Vazhag?

Edit:@ Yeah, we double posted in the main thread I guess, didn't see the purple writing :(

Provided you can last this round Snake, I literally can and will come in and save you. I have a few tricks up my sleeve :)

Yeah, just Sun Snake wanted to find out what was mind controlling the armoured guy. And could actually wrestle control away from that controller! Except he's not told Sabre that, so no reason for Sabre not to finsih off his foe. :)


Snake's got comparable EP, I have fate points, and general Mindblast is back on the table, so Snake's not going to die this roundf unless the Cener unleashes something spectacularly devestating.


@Shadow: I'll not use the psychic stun then, I thought it let me stop one opponent from damaging, didn't realise it costed me not attacking either. So will just pay 1WP for the normal Mindblast.

Posh, and earlier you were complaining Toren team was having all the fun. Look at you folks go!

Well thats interesting then. Since the Tiger guys of Sejanoz are supposed to be mind controlled to begin with after thier 'upgrade' it seems worrying that someone else has wrestled control :\

Haven't read the later New Order books, so fidn't know that. Which was in line with my character not getting to know that either :)

Well to be honest, i think its safe to say that no one in the Kai will know about things that go on below the Tentaris. After all, all of LW's adventures take place in Northern Magnamund, so all his storys that will circulate in the Order will of course revolve around them.

So there is no way we could know that the Tiger guys are mind controlled heavily armored upgardes with laser Tiger sculptures who are rulled by a 300 year old vampire! :(

Really, assuming these are the puppet soldiers of Sejhanoz - which you don't know for certain, anyway - who's said yet that it's not from the Vampire himself that Sun Snake was about to try and wrestle control? ^_^

As for Sejhanoz, Sun Snake, all you need to know is that he was one of the main opponents in the NO series - hence why Sabre was worried. :)

Sabre is definitely indulging in the kicking of large quantities of butt :)

Also don't mess with Rain Feather...  She can kill you with her brain ;)  hehe.


Try not to get killed though, we have to meet up again later for more poking fun at each other :)
Assuming Swift doesn't get killed seeking revenge...  (Although I'm smelling a plot twist here somewhere) ;)

Put it this way, if another four armored guys come round the corner with a large tiger sculpture shooting laser beams, and the others all have laser guns, then its Sejanoz's boys. haha

Its one of the reasons I wasnt sure, since this one is lacking the laser gun system and its odd that he should be with these guys.

However, Im glad to see I was right about some being Cener's! lol

That spear/staff thingy looked oddly suspicious though...
Wonder if it'll still work once you kill him?

Well im sure we can check it! Haha. However this one is clearly a staff, but the Sejanoz guys had a gun connected to some form of lazer backpack type thing. So it seems that its not the same.

I knew Sejhanoz, just not the specifics of the surroundings. So it could be Sejhanoz!

I very much doubt it. I mean, he hasnt even conquered Southern Magnamund yet! lol.

So who are you going for then Snake if Fox is after the Knight?

I don't like laser backpacks in a fantasy setting. Scify yes, but fantasy no.

If I saw something like that, and wanted to adapt it to a more fantasy game, I'd likely replace it with laser staffs.

:)

Well I dont think the 'upgrades' the Tiger guys got in the temple was every truly revealed. Of course, this could have been due to the series stopping four books short, but still, it seemed a bit iffy to include laser guns

Wich is why I would go with laser staffs. Hypotetically speaking, of course. :)

Actually just remembering, I think it was the armoured guys on the other planet LW visited in Wolf's Bane who had the laser things wasn't it?
Sejanoz's troops had some sort of steam-powered "rifles" if I remember right.  Kind of steampunky tech level.

Not sure about the tiger shrine with the laser eyes though.  That seemed more magical in nature...

Your memory match with mine, Swift Fox - now that you mention it, Sejhanoz's soldier had some kind of steampunk contraption.

I stay on my opinion that a fantasy setting would require them to have magic staffs instead. :)
