I'm very sorry to have gone quiet for such a long time. I can't really make any excuses for not saying anything, I've just not been in a good shape for a few weeks. Its been a mix of some personal problems and visiting a distant relative who probably doesn't have much longer to live. I know I haven't really acted reliably but I think I'm mostly over it now, and I think I'd still be happy to continue GMing. I should have a post up later today. But yeah, sorry once more, but we've had pauses before and those didn't stop us either. Let's get back to it, shall we?

What "offer of Yratha's hospitality"? Neram is aware of no such thing!

Oh sorry, I meant what she said to Desiderio. Namely that she can get you wherever you are going if you rest at the house. I just wanted everyone's opinion OOC if they are happy with that.

Nah. He's not causing any trouble out there, and you can tie him up if you want no risks. Just say what you want to do with him.

Just because I can't remember, and I'm sure as hell not trawling through every page of our multi threaded saga. Has 'Sara' ever come up before in relations to Monsters? Or is she someone we've not previously established? Just so I can be sure I'm not treading over something from a while ago.

Yes. Did we loot a memorable treasure? The demon cylinder counts in my mind. Also the cube if Aziza kept it. Oh wait, I forgot to describe the cylinder, adding that in quick. +3xp for everyone. If you fulfilled your drive/alignment also mark xp. Also pick someone who knows you better than before, give them +1hx with you. If hx goes to +4 reset it to +1 and mark xp. Level up if applicable.

Actually that's a point, I meant to earlier check my Hxs from the previous last session and something has come up, what happens if it becomes inapplicable? Does it get erased and you mark XP or what? (I mostly asked because I had Luca as a bond from last session and I only just now checked, and I had hx+3 with them, of all people!)

Hx Luca +1 Neram +3 Sammi +2 Rory +1 Aziza +2 Reset Rory- having seen him in action, Desiderio feels like he knows what the man is capable of. That brings me to a level up, so I will choose When you hurl insults at a foe, roll+Cha. On a 10+, the enemy is distracted and leaves themselves briefly open to attacks from others. On a 7-9, they leave themselves briefly open, but your shouting draws attention to yourself, putting you in a spot. Edit: Actually, I'll take Now I Have The Upper Hand instead. Add the following options to Parry: • Disarm your opponent, sending their weapon flying across the room. • Steal a visible item off of their person. They don't notice it's gone until you inevitably flaunt the fact you have it. Vulpes Vulpes fucked around with this message at 18:34 on Mar 27, 2016 |

Does it get erased and you mark XP or what? Actually nevermind, last session I would have probably used my +1 Hx on Luca anyway because Neram had gotten a better understanding of Luca from seeing him try to make deals (or something like that) with the Lich and then setting off alone when it all broke down, true insight! Resetting him to +1 and giving XP. Also this session I will nominate Sammi for a +1 Hx because from the time they spent together (however briefly) Neram has gained some greater understanding of how her powers (and Cog's powers) operate relative to his, something that Neram is keen to come to terms with. Hx Luca +1 Sammi +1 Desierio -1 Rory -1 Aziza -1 I'm not sure if this session would mean Neram would fulfill his drive of: "Favorable Futures: Manipulate events in a way that favors you or your friends." Except actually... Neram's interaction with Yratha in the past and forcing her to become a demonologist of some kind made the events of the present favour Neram and his friends because after all, otherwise she wouldn't be here, now, and willing to give the party shelter and a form of transport! Marking XP, again! Speaking of which that would put me at 11 XP, enough to level up. In which case I will give +1 to Wisdom, and take Eternal Vigil: You do not need to eat, drink, or sleep. When you Take Watch, the night passes in an instant, and anything coming arrives in the morning, after everyone has fully rested.

9/11XP +3 XP for session end. +1 XP for Drive - Help someone not part of your bond at risk to yourself. Sammi tried to help Aziza by grabbing her and making a run for it, getting hurt and stuck in the process. +1 XP for +1 HX to Luca bringing him to +4. At the end she thinks she might have finally understood him. Maybe. HX with luca reduced to +0 Setting up a new HX bond with Aziza. Final XP+5 = 3/12XP Level up achieved! +1 to WIS. WIS now +0 (10) New Move: Something, Something, Something, Teamwork! As long as you have at least 1 Imagination you can team up with your Monster. When you and your Monster combine your efforts together. Add +Control to your roll. However, no matter what happens Monsters are not subtle creatures and even if you succeed something always goes hilariously or dangerously wrong Arashiofordo3 fucked around with this message at 17:04 on Mar 28, 2016 |

Jvie posted:How about this. When you first turn into something new, state what in particular you hope to achieve. I'll give you one move for that, one other that seems fitting to the animal, plus one more off the wall one, like the rat's "find cheese." I heard someone else do it like that and it sounds good. I like it! E: another thought that occurs to me. This is a big old fantasy world, there's probably lots of really weird but otherwise mundane animals out there, wouldn't there be some cool ones in the Great Forest too?

Infinite Oregano posted:Also... are you sure you want to do this? It might be better to just retroactively not have this occur if you're going to keep on trucking with the rest of the game while something like this is happening that can fundamentally change everything else that comes after. It just seems like a bad idea and more work for everyone. I mean I haven't really looked at what's happening in the present right now because it'll be pointless until this has been resolved. I was maybe hasty in posting the arrival to the tower, but I didn't want to keep Error 404 waiting while others still posted about the trip. I had hoped that the other scenes would have wrapped up quickly but now I don't want to pressure Vulpes Vulpes or Arashiofordo3 to quit if they still find the conversation Sammi and Desiderio have interesting. I certainly do. I'm not sure what others find appealing in Traditional RPGs but for me the roleplaying and interactions between players are the reason I'm not playing a computer strategy game instead. In Play by Post interactions that rely on responses from particular person, like conversations, can take long but I still don't want to discourage them. On the other hand making everyone else wait isn't good either, so I'd like to be able to continue on at a reasonable pace. I don't want to pressure Vulpes Vulpes and Arashiofordo3 to cut anything short if the are having fun, bit I think I'll go on with the scene at the tower, and also give Neram a way out of his situation.

Hey, sorry for not posting, I didn't actually notice this game started up again until recently. I'm doing some job hunting right now and am pretty busy, but since we have been in this game so long, I'm going to try to set aside just a bit of time each week to check in and make a post. I'm going to read what I've misses and play it from there.

Right, finished making my edits. It also includes my reaction to Jvie's most recent post. Which I'm going to move that section to a new post, because there's no reason not too and it'll stop it being confusing.

I appreciate that and 'quiet' conversation is fine (as quiet as Desiderio can be) it's just with Neram's conversation it's way more dramatic. I reckon that the house blowing up is something that might dramatically affect the future, after all!  Edit: Furthermore are we facing an Vaporwave Elemental?
