Alveris is also wounded (x2) and in the golden hour, though he's admittedly not in the same straits as James/Doro.

Seriously you were waiting on me?  I was wondering what the hell was taking you so long.

I can't do anything this combat my powers are... ineffective and character is as such that I can't suit up to go fix it.  So I will dance into oblivion.

Jon- Can we get some direction from you re: whether or not the campaign is continuing/rerolling after this?

I can write Alveris off into a tantric sunset, we can talk reroll of some of his more useless points, a new character, or he can just stay as is and continue to toss his lot with the survivable gnomes.

I just want to know where your head is..

Ha, sure.  A few of you have asked, here's where I am:

This is the sunset of this "Chapter" of the story (by which I mean this mission was a chapter in a much bigger story).

Right now we're tying up loose ends and deciding what to do before returning to friendly seas/Gnomish Empire/Fey Court.

At that point we'll have a little break.  The next chapter is in the planning stages, but not quite ready for rollout.  Anyone who wants to participate in that is welcome to do so, with your same character or with a re-roll.  Your choice.  We may also have some new players joining in.

I'm also working on some very different unrelated campaigns to run, but haven't decided which will happen next/first.

Jamie and Alveris and Doro steal the sea turtle in the night along with all the dust of compliance, set sail for the closest major human city, immediately subvert the government, and live the next 15-20 years in relative hedonistic ecstasy.

Uthor, awesome twist. Gilesian! I knew we had to have a changeling!

There's the plot of the next chapter. Holy hell that's going to cause some poop

I had a feeling.  You were always too quiet.

What about the brandywine thing?  How did you sidestep that?

This explains so much about your sort of forced detachment and general nondescript. You were literally nondescript by intention.

Awesome stuff man.

In reply to Uthor son of Magnusson (msg # 350):

In all fairness, Alveris's entire backstory was being sent here to procure that treaty and bring it back to continue your oppression.

We all had an angle.

I feel bad for Jon. We all had information that was meant to be secret, and some that wasn't, and we all chose to not pass a lot of it on.

Jon gave me an entire backstory for Doro that I chose not to share (because why would Alveris?), and I deliberately made NO attempt to learn ANYTHING about the helmet (because why would Alveris?).

Re: OOC Discussion: part 2 electric bugaloo

Yeah, I was wondering what Doro's deal was, and why he got a portrait and all that.  But I suppose now all that good stuff can be shared, at least the bits of it that wouldn't compromise the next chapter.

Re: OOC Discussion: part 2 electric bugaloo

In reply to Uthor son of Magnusson (msg # 352):

So Doro is called "the knot" within the Fey court. Ostensibly, he/she (it's ambiguous to me) is at the center of a highly complex and arbitrary system of political alliances and marriages that establish the ties that bind and the general hierarchy of the Fey court.

When Doro went missing, there was upheaval as to whether those ties still held or didn't hold. I gather Doro's been gone a while.

Finding out Doro was alive (or dead), or even his/her return, would significantly shake up the current dynamics of power in the Fey Court. Basically, they've come to a status quo in the ambiguity.

So, since Doro's dead, Alveris gets to fulfill one of his stated goals: causing chaos.

Yeah, I've known ever since the Brandywine thing. Fun fun fun!

And Doro didn't die... did he?

... except me.  I'm just the flouncy son of a noble whose father thought gnomish discipline would toughen him up... or kill him.  Either way he wins.

Also Doro is not dead (unless something I didn't notice happened)he was healed up pretty well.

Alveris was conceived to be the worst Puck possible. I think he met expectations.

Oh ok.  So replace "dead" with "alive" in my previous post.  Same thing!

Re: OOC Discussion: part 2 electric bugaloo

In reply to Uthor son of Magnusson (msg # 358):

Ya, but the promise of taking over a small human city with our glamour/irreverence/mind control dust seems much more fun and plausible. Besides, Doro would probably die..something would happen. I think there's a vested interest in not going back for he/she.

I can totally see Alveris landing in port, taking Doro and Jamie, conning his way onto another ship, and just living out his days in a sea of STDs and gluttony.

Or we could become AWFUL mercenaries

I want my 4 points in Fey Court/Dance Procedure back! There is an effective character hiding somewhere in Alveris Alderis, and I'm going to find it.
