I won't go through there if I know what it is, and I'm pretty unlikely to if I don't.

Re: Out of Character 9

Narrator:
Any opinions in the group on the Oh Hell No thread?

There's a group?  Does Sedeeric have MPD?

If you want opinions... well... sometimes Characters dies.  Otherwise I suggest Sederic run for the Valdassya gate.  And maybe kill the demon once he's safely back in Prime Mundus.

And then tuck in for a long walk home.

Or if he thinks his Dodge is up for it, dive back through the gate and hope to survive a swipe from a bill-voulge-glaive-guisarme-ranseur... with extra spikes (though where anyone would fit them at that point is beyond me).

given his experiences and the words he overheard, with Grimaldi being a no-nonsense type, he'd have done exactly what i had him do: head back to the guild, sign off the books, and look for his next job. Maybe he can join up with jendrich.

Always wondered what happened to Mythos Songau.

Still don't know, but I think we just found out where he wound up, anyway.

Re: Out of Character 9

Sounded like almost a standard load-out for an artificer.  Hence why I thought it might be Mythos -- he was the only one I've met.

Admittedly there was some inspiration.

I will post a thread for Jendrich and Grimaldi, welcome to the guild.

Meanwhile,  work has been kicking my ass and my commissions of evil goatfolk and some stuff for Gabor have been eating my time. Hoping to be all caught up tomorrow.

Re: Out of Character 9

Sigh.

We have a weirdness magnet and a Thing from Beyond in an extradimensional shop run by (or employing) demons.

Of course it's going to get confusing...

I'm not sure that Ymid is a 'Thing"... okay wait.  Clearly it's a Thing, I'm not sure it classifies exactly as "from Beyond".  gwythaint hasn't outlined the cosmology but 'from Beyond' usually means "that which exists outside time and space", at the very least "from beyond the Stars/Firmament" however that works.  Where our ;friend' the Ymid clearly comes from another dimension, just like Blade the Hunter in the 'Speciality Shop' thread is 'from another dimension'... and demons are just 'from another dimension'.

Actually at some point I need to nail gwythaint's feet to the floor on this one, especially as Jareth is like one or two adventures away from being able to Create Gates at his leisure and I'll need to know the cosmological ramifications of just willy-nilly making and using Gates.

For instance, if every world is its own 'Prime Mundus', that has different ramifications than if there is only one Prime Mundus.





Oh, and the reason I came in here this time:  Be ready for a site wide shutdown for 5 minutes at 11PM PST (GMT -7) tonight (March 7 Friday).  The hosting company is taking down and replacing their primary router for the servers the site is hosted on.  While it's predicted to be no more than 5 minutes... when has Tech Support ever not pulled a Reverse Scotty?

"The people have travelled for so long, and so far, none are quite certain ofvthe point of origin, and whether this was our original form, or the first Ymid was a member of a servitor race that was exposed to a Great Old One. They are the constant. Gods die, demons and elementals are cast out, yet the Old Ones remain."

I can't tell if you're making a very, very dry joke... or if you live in paradise where there are never any 'unknown unknowns' to gremlin up your works.

Re: Out of Character 9

I've worked in, and with tech support.  The only way a time window is immaculate is by way of having no father.  Which is to say they're bastards.

Wheee!  I just looked up Create Gate (figuring your psionic ability probably has similar abilities and costs).  That's one expensive spell to cast, even though you don't need access to both sides like you did in 3rd ed.

Actually, don't tell anyone, but Jareth is using the spells.  As a cultist they're Psionic spells, so independent of Mana and Sanctity... and they cost a bit more FP.  And might, ah, summon an Elder Thing.

So basically Psionics just using the spells system, which is less exp and simpler.

Just to clarify for the temple hill group, The area of temple hill is about the same as little Shevnia, and while the population is less, they can get into dockside, artisinal, or merchant in under half an hour.
