Sorry, Alumnus. I was away pretty much all of Saturday so I missed your questions in IRC. <alumnus_ghost> shardix is this bard just a vanilla bard Yeah, vanilla from the base book. The only change is the dueling rapier was renamed to dueling blade because Serenity is a weeaboo elf with a katana. <alumnus_post> also Shardix is the moon goddess an Actual Moon Yes. (link)

Alumnus Post posted:- You were on the run when you met Mote - when everything changed. Who or what were you running from? "Well, this was back in Bagalish, and I made some mistakes. Did some crimes in the wrong part of town when I was in a desperate position, just a bit of zoukk, you know? But that territory belonged to the Passbana, you know, the halfling crimegangs. Maybe you don't have that out here? Maybe not. In Bagalish though, the Passbana are at the top of the food chain, far as criminals go. So when I did some crimes on their territory, they found out about it, and when they sent someone to punish me for it, I killed him. That wasn't smart, but I'm not a good thief, so I panicked." Alumnus Post posted:- What you took from that dead woman had a mind of its own - why did it stay with you? "Mote was created to be a companion, and I was there. I think that's it. His master was fraa, his lantern was broken, so I put him in a calabash I had been drinking out of, and he's lived there ever since. I think that the fumes in the gourd might have made him a little more likely to trust me. Now he's my chivo, you know. Partner. Accomplice. Yes, it's a bad habit still speaking in Bagalish thief's cant. You can only change so far I guess? I never found out who that Lantern was, you know, the one what got stomped down by the bullyboys. I want to know, but I daren't ask anyone, because while I may not have been a good thief, I do know that you don't go back to a crime you're associated with. Of course, it helps that apparently no one, not even Lanterns, think that someone could steal a little light. Everyone thinks it's the dumbest thing they've ever heard. So hey, maybe I'm a pretty good thief after all." Alumnus Post posted:- The Lanterns are one of many groups sponsoring humanitarian missions to Aqualantis, providing what aid they can to the thousands who lost everything in the Big Sink. Where do their little lights come from? Fraa, chivo! Honest answer? I have no idea. From what I've gathered over the years, the creation of a light is the most important, most sacred, most private moment in a Lantern's life. Mote doesn't remember, because who remembers being born? And I can't ask any other Lanterns I meet because one, I try and stay away from other Lanterns because I'm a fraud, and two, because I can't go asking about something that I should already know about! I'm fraa. I can't let the Lanterns find out that I'm not the real deal, that I'm duk. They'd take Mote away, who knows what they'd do to me. I can't let that happen."

And with that completely set of answers, recruitment is now closed! The slydingdoor as Ramona de Sahagún, the Bounty Killer InfiniteOregano as Tutresiel, the Star Mage Error 404 as 01, the Shardix as Serenity Greymist, the Bardiest Bard Teonis as Thrash (and Maw-Meow), the Orc Warchef Vulpes Vulpes as Padre Clavo, the Lantern Apologies to ArkInBlack with his totally sweet drider app. Rest assured Stathis will find out who really sank Aqualantis long before any of us will.  Now all y'all get in IRC and start figuring out your bonds. 01, also take at least one more bond -- like it or not you're more tied to these meat-sacks than you'd strictly like to be. I'll get the gamethread rolling just as soon as I have time in between work and finding a place to live. Some really great apps here - I'm psyched to get this going!

Ramona's I sure don't miss Hamon compared to the better space alien, Tootsie. They're a good spotter, and we can set up some devastating lines of fire with the portal shenanigans. Very useful. Unlike the other one who crowded my shots with a bunch of useless goons. Also, I want Tootsie's star piece thing that they hide in their infinity bag. Pretty sure it's hot fusion in some kind of stabilizer. Thinking about the charged up hotshot I could shoot with a power source like that... makes me smile. I could probably study it without destroying it. Padre is as convincing a Lantern as I would be a debutante. But even old, he still tries, caught him training himself to have the mien, the prayers, all that. I can respect that. During a meeting, Padre's Mote, like a cat that could fly, pushed a bottle of my fine rum off the edge of the table. I caught the both of them: the bottle with my foot and the little gremlin under my rocks glass. It turned red, I kicked the bottle into my hand got us out the way, and then "he" sliced through it--the rocks glass--and the table real clean, and went and hid behind his master. It was impressive. 'Fi could learn how to reproduce that red blade... I could make a lightsaber of my own. slydingdoor fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Turtesiel Bonds Padre Clavo finds me unnatural. After all, one who has touched the sun's grace should be able to sense something of my nature, right? Ramona lacks the vision necessary to see the world as I do. They are too focused on flesh, and blood, and petty vengeance. But thoughtless action has its advantages. 01 and I share a common past. While in the dark depths, it kept finding crumbling buried ruins dedicated to the Silent God, even some with depictions of me. I have seen similar murals before of 01 reaching the Broken Domain, but will it like what it finds there?

Padre Clavo Ramona de Sahagún is cold as ice, but we get along. I wonder if she ever lets that frost melt. Tutresiel feels off, like they're...part light? But that doesn't make sense, right? 01- Look, yes, I'm a duk Lantern. But 01 is a duk person! It's really...it creeps me out. Serenity Greymist cannot write a ballad about me. Thrash's culinary stylings fascinate and frighten me in equal amounts. edit: death is certain, &c. Vulpes Vulpes fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Jan 18, 2016 |

Thrash's Bonds: Padre Clavo is a gentleman and a scholar. Looks like your lies work on at least one person. Tutresiel has the most interesting and delectable aroma. Obviously something Thrash has not tasted before, he is interested in seeing if he can cook it or, at the very least, served cold. Scrawny customers like 01 have likely never had a good meal in their lives. I pity such a person. Never seen it eat; strange, thin body; no mouth. Surely, it must be starving under all that armor! Ramona de Sahagún could benefit from this new combination of flavors I always wanted to try. Warriors always have big appetites. Warriors also need food to support muscle growth, like a 3rd arm or tentacle legs. Some impressions; so I can remember who you all are... Ramona de Sahagún, the Bounty Killer Veteran of the first voyage, a ruthless killer who jacked everyone's good gear and got sick-rich Tutresiel, the Star Mage Some kind of fallen angel with power over space on a divine mission or something 01, the Golem 5000-year-old Murderho-bot Another Error 404 kill-bot; seen before, but still looking forward to seeing more. Serenity Greymist, the Bardiest Bard The bardiest of bards... what more needs be said. Oh, yeah: Spoony Padre Clavo, the Lantern Laterns are like paladins right, but they are masters of the 'laser-lightshow'

Hmm. Would it be okay if I make a tweak and change one of my advanced move. I was going to change "I know where it hurts" for some that is more about cooking instead of damage. I want to get Work in Progress so I can mutate Maw-Meow, and if I do, I want to change his starting base stats. I was going to choose this one at my next level up, but that feels so far away right now.

I generally play from work, hence me forgetting to submit the post. Weekends are really hard for me to play because of family. I would tell you I'll send the post when I get to work tomorrow morning, but coincidentally I have jury duty. So it looks like I'll be posting from my phone in a courthouse.

PS: quote:It’s a brave monster that goes into battle alone. Most creatures fight with someone at their side, and maybe another at their back, and possibly an archer covering the rear, and so on. This can lead to multiple monsters dealing their damage at once. Doing the best roll among however many extra monsters there are is from the last playtest.

Oh also Teonis it's now canon that when you make some experimental food, you add it to your inventory and give it the ~wacky~ tag if you picked "three uses with an unexpected side-effect" on a 7-9. Tildes mandatory.

Ramona is secretly cutting deals with the ghosts. Unless Clavo is defying her orders and opening the hatch or something there's no way he'd know what she's doing.

Ok, so the engine room is haunted by a youtube comments section? Awesome. Also, can I retcon my action, If I'd known Ramona was going to negotiate I'd have just followed her lead to see where she was going with it. Edit: since my previous action came after Ramona, I'll just stick with that and play it out from there. Error 404 fucked around with this message at 07:43 on Feb 6, 2016 |
