Been a bit busy with Cacation stuff. I'll post up soon.

Back guys

So what's happening Muthatrucka! Been outta commish for a bit, but I'm back and hungry for some literary lunch.

Driving around with an orangutan in my truck, that's what.

We should catch up.  By the way, the water creation is considered easy, so yes.  Please describe further your water ballness.

Xuan and Ace will be splitting off and posting here until all can play.  Please feel free to post into chapter 2 Orlando, Kirby, and Max.

sorry for the delay gents. Seeker has told me that you are moving down the road story-wise. I'd be happy to be involved even if a small roll is needed.  Seeker is good about prodding me when needed.

Is anyone else Jonesin or what.  Sup slowsky, or shit is it my turn?

Want to say I edited post number 4 I think to correct wording from shin to Shen during internal dialogue of tiengue.

C'mooowwwn, MAN!  We's runnin' to the barn!  Let's get this ho down to gettin'!

Pretty sure we're not waiting on me anymore. But if so, lemme know.

Ditto.

ok, good news and bad news.  YOur influence roll is a failure, bad news. Good news, in a situation like this you shouldn't know the affect of your roll, so I rolled for you secretely. You would never know right away if you are influencial of not. it would take quite a bit of conversation to pan out the success or not.

Also a character when trying to influence someone would continue on regardless, so its better not to know, failing a roll typically influences what and how you would say something in game.

So please Xuan Wu continue on with your dialogue as if you are being influencial.

Roger that.

question for you lads, how do you want to procede at this next juncture. We are ending a little chapter here and can go in a couple of directions.

1. is do you want Tiengue to accompany you? He does know where their hideout is, but you just kind of promised to get him freedom.

2. do you want to play out the exorcism? We can skip it if you plan on setting tiengue free to do what ever or we should play it if you want to include him.

3. Do you guys have any questions that you would like answered or things cleared up.

4. Some quest topics:

a. Save Xuan's mother and group that is kidnapped
b. Get help to Malcomn/earl on the moon
c. Save Kirby's grandparents from control
d. find mysterious men from Ace's spirit walk
e. find hideout of Demon clan

1. Is Tiengue a player and, if so, is the idea for him to join us?  If he's an NPC, I'm ambivalent.  I feel confident we would've attempted for his freedom regardless.
2. I'm interested in moving the story along, if that means playing it out or skipping it I'm on board either way.
3. I would actually be interested in the GM's take on questions 1 and 2, for starters.
4. That's a lot of shit to do.  Admittedly I've been going with the flow up to now and considering the many opinions at stake, Aeviternus would probably consider it all to be relevant.  Not sure how that would be different at this juncture except for the items that seem less about world and universe like family-specific topics (a and c, for instance) could seem less pressing to a guy trying to save mankind.

Happy St Patty's Day all!


I'd have to agree with Ace on this one, or most points.

Xuan's interest in Tiengue would firstly be to release him from the grip of the DC. Of course he'd like him to accompany the party to the hideout as extra artillery, but wouldn't expect it. Having done his duty to help in the fight against of the DC, Xuan has no ulterior motives or ultimatums that would impinge on Tiengue.

Happy to get the FF version of the exorcism. I have no overwhelming desire to fuddle my way through, but happy to play along if it adds to story.

The order of mission importance for Xuan would be:

1. E - DC should be confronted and pummelled. As Xuan believes that this can possibly help resolve quest C, he's happy to go hunting.

2. A - Once the immediate threat is under control, Xuan wants his mummy back, pronto. He's not so selfish to suggest doing this first, even though it's been a constant consideration.

3.  B - The moon stuff seems like a distant thought. See what I did there? A distant thought...

4. D - Considering Xuan doesn't even know about any men from the spirit walk, it isn't a priority. It could go up 2 places once Ace makes it public knowledge.

Tiengue is not a player character, he has been a npc  from the start of posts. Not concept, that was a pc's idea, but he went on tour and hadn't had time to play.

The story can be forwarded without the exorcism which is why I asked. It would bring an element of the game. I might write a short story on it so it's covered, which you could treat a applicable knowledge.

Moving forward was the idea for me, as you two are together getting you forward and on your own is my goal.  The exorcism would require current pcs and noc's to do the task, so for me not as important. However just skipping it feels like a cheat in the story.

I feel that all of the items I listed are pertinent, part of me listing them was to give a quick reminder in your "quest log".

The hardest one to accomplish would be Malcolm's thing.

The other quests can be accomplished concurrently and it's important to have the motivation in your mind.  Malcolm's quest will take a little more active work, but for the story you could leave the other players to work on that. It would be ok if you did. I just didn't want to feel sloppy letting a important part go.

Geeze, we got it the first time. Although, I suppose it does help us to remember when you repeat it like that.

All go well with the move?

Now knowing that Xuan's mother, Kirby's grandmother, the mysterious spirit walk men and the Demon Clan can all be handled concurrently, then I like the idea of tasking the others to Malcohm's plight for now and setting off the two of us.

On that note, it seems more realistic (as in terms of real life, not game life) to skip the exorcism in order to go ahead and get that forward movement since playing it out would involve so many missing pieces.

So concludes my opinion.

And congratulations on the new place!

Thanks. We are still unpacking boxes. But completely out of the old house and in the new!

So I will write a short story on the exorcism.  What I'd like after I write it is for you two to edit it. Add stuff and have us give critical feedback on the piece, like a revision and see where we can take it.

Ya, sounds good.

Ditto.

Xuan and Aeviternus have the gear that was sent from the base.  So this is food, guns, survival etc.
