Re: OOC

The Keeper:
Well, the story so far:

There have been a series of strange killings of young women. After the third victim the General Commander recruited Titus and Allison from the guard to investigate a possible connection to the city guard, as the killer seems to have inside information. She also recruited Vinnie as someone who could hang around the guard without having the same loyalty to peers. Precious follows Allison and is a package deal.

The group made their way to the stone sword pub and got a reading of the situation until they got interrupted by news of a fourth victim. Vinnie had to stay behind because a Bearaler in the pub liked him too much.

Lia the rookie was the first on site and found evidence that the killer isn't human and that the time of death was in late at night. Dave,  another rookie, was also on the scene and got to interrogate one witness -an urchin-, but didn't press for much information. Precious and Allison got to get more information from the child. The child has a missing friend -Dhur, a fellow urchin- who might have seen something. The urchin left with Dave who was going to feed them.

Other facts.

* The stone pub is frequented by the members of the guard. Lannie, the bartender is a fixture in the community.
* One of the secretaries was at the pub talking to Lannie. No details could be obtained beyond the talk being related to Dave the rookie.
* There was a cloaked stranger in the pub who was restraining anger the guard members around.
* Mark -a guard member- was getting very drunk and was consumed by guilt and grief.
* Only the commander, the captain Virgil and the secretaries know all of the people working on each shift and the watch routes.


We can get away with losing Vinnie for good, but we might need a replacement player for Titus if he doesn't comeback.

And there was this, where Lia discovered peculiar blood at the crime scene:
Lia:
She takes the proffered hand and shakes it with a squeeze: men seemed to think you weren't a real person otherwise. "Asaliian. Pleased to  be of service." She meets his gaze and repossesses her hand. "Thank you. Yes. They're people. Just like us, mostly, but with an immortal somewhere in their bloodline. That's what gives them strange coloured blood. Not always, but often. And they may have  supernatural gifts of some kind. Not always, but most often." She gives their sterotypically generic desciptions or characteristics [of dragonborn, drow and tieflings.]

I thought we were still waiting on the scene restart, or advancement to the next scene?

In reply to Precious (msg # 100):

I thought I had done that. Lia has posted. Titus is awaiting for a chance to post, and I don't know about Allison.

Odd, it looks like RPOL didn't flag those as new, I might not be able to get to anything tonight but I will see if I can figure out what to move along tomorrow if nobody else has.

Sorry, took a free day yesterday. There is no need to advertise, it seems there is still interest in the game.

We lost Allison, we might need to get a replacement, or we might need to kill off the character.

So let's get back into gear.

With the holidays looming I did want to say that I am still interested in resuming play but I may be spotty/totally absent until the New Year. I will try to make some posts but they might be short.

Replacement character, or player is fine by me.  But in either case it should be a retroactive substitution to minimize damage to the story.

If any of the existing players want to use their character to fill the Allison role let me know.

I hope everyone had a good holiday, if you celebrate.

@Precious, what would it take for your character to transfer her companionship to one of us?  It might make things flow better (and be some interesting internal conflict) for her to lose Allison.

The only real requirement is that the character have been in a situation where their parents or guardian was in a position to both be able to and need to give the chile a living teddy bear slave to their child as a present with an unstated undertone of guardian angel

Well... That should be easy to incorporate... LOL

What happens when/if the child passes away?

Hasn't happened to Precious yet, not before they grow up and pass her on to the next generation.  But in theory she would be shifted to a sibling, or cousin.  But it is probably better you try not to die.

I'm confused.  Allison is her ward right now, right?  Does Allison have any siblings or children?  The DM suggested killing her off.  That's why I'm asking. Is Allison the last of her line as far as Precious is concerned?

I hope you all had a merry Christmas or equivalent holiday n_n. Calico, we hadn't developed that part of Allison's backstory, so it is open to be whatever we need it to be.

We have another interested player in joining, but won't get anything definitive until after the holidays.

Ok.  I was just wondering if there was a way in-game to transfer her "guardianship" to another player's character.

I'm going to assume this game is dead on arrival.  Please remove me.
