Reserved, let me get my sheet up.
Holy fuck my perception modifier is abnormally high.YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING
And yet I cannot tell the difference between 18/16 and 20/18.Holy fuck my perception modifier is abnormally high.YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING
It's a male witch.
Also, what a shame that there cannot be a Maid (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Meido) of (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Moe) Time (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/HaruhiSuzumiya). Those looks can kill. xD
Might want to add Skill modifiers though.You mean the modifiers the skills get based on the 4 base stats? Or did I really miss something?
Just the modifier total, so that you don't have to add them all together every time you use a skill.That... that's a good idea. I think I'll do that.
Lemme do the maths:Oh right.
Acr: -1
Ath: +6
Chu: ±0
Insight +4
Mysteries -1
Perception +3
Science +3
Skaian Lore +8
Stealth -1
Trolling +4
You forgot to add your level.
Oh hey. You should be the hero of time, then you can come back whenever you missed a session. Eheheh.Hah hah, funny.
Hey, Theros, did you take the awakened dreamself (or whatever it is called) template? It seems like it would fit your character. Also, no hurry on the pictoral character sheet. Take your time....Yeah, that template looks like it sort of fits, so why not.
Once we have enough people ready to go, we can begin the game in earnest, but, until then, we can have character interaction, via in-world pesterchum.
That said....
apprenticeLumberjack [AL] began pestering ragingLunatic [RL] at 11:28 AM.
AL: HEY, LUNATIC, WHAT UP?
Interested. Considering joinning.
Yes. I think I will be joinning.
Everything Alright?Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Rules:
1. Everyone is playing as humans. Sorry for people who wanted to be Trolls. If nothing else, you can still be a troll.
2. I know I can't check to make sure, but please, generate your title randomly!
3. Try to play in the spirit of the game, and avoid teamkilling. No sober Gamzee please.
4. This is not grimdark type gaming. Feel free to be silly!
5. If you roll a taken aspect, re-roll your entire title. First come, first serve, and we don't want to double on aspects.
6. If you roll a a class that has been take by two other people, re-roll your entire title. We don't need four knights.
Calm down. Jeez. I'll just rewrite.

I was waiting for you to notice that. Wasn't completely sure about how I evaluate my skills. Can you please enlighten me on this matter?For every 2 points in a stat above ten, you get a +1 to a skill that is associated with that stat. Vise versa for below ten.
Also, last thing, is Mikheal a member of the society for historical anachronism or something? If not, why does he spend his time strutting about in Old Tymey armor? As far as Homestuck is concerned, a suit is heavy armor (Though if you so chose, you could alchemize yourself a suit of metal armor at level 2)Ehhh... He is suppost to Alchemize for it once he enters Suburb. The Suit of Armour has to do with his past and stuff. I'll change it to something more sensible for the time.
Bdthemag, your character sheet is now on the first post, as is the updated class/aspect listsAdd me on pesterchum now then!
@Riccto, yours will be up shortly.
@Bdthemag: Hah, I already have that program, it is hells of ills. I am so up for that. I won't make it required, but it would be awesome.
I have Trainning in Acrobatics because that was the third trained skill I rolled.
Everyone get pesterchum, then we can create a memo for us to talk in. WE MUST ROLEPLAY, IT MUST BE DONE.
Can't join right now. Homework D:BUT YOU MUST MEET MY AWESOME CHARACTER.
Good for us, I just completed it :PI'll create a memo for us three now :D
I just need to download it now.
And now its taking quite some time to download. I should be there in a bit.Once you create your profile just add my chumhandle and then the awesomeness will start.
It keeps saying my ChumHandle is "Invalid". Help?I believe it may have to be lowercase then uppercase. Like yours would be greekKiller, since thats how all usernames in the homestuck universe are.
Yeah, Theres a Problem. Pesterchum Keeps acting like greekKiller is Taken.I know the problem, did you exit out of pesterchum by clicking the X on the top right of the client? Because that doesn't fully exit you out, it just minimizes the window. You have to go to your taskbar and right click it then exit out that way, then use pesterchum again.
And now Pesterchum acts like there is no connection at all. It keeps telling me that the connection has closed.Well pesterchum say's your online, so fully exit out of pesterchum and start it up again.
Holy crap Theros, that gaurdian is terrifying.Just what I was aiming for. :D
Now im trying to imagine DB talking to your guarding, I imagine many lol's would be had.Yes. Yes there would.
Ooh, I want in. Writing up the ol' character sheet now. I sort of suck at tabletop games, though.
On a happier note, I already have Pesterchum installed. Huzzah!
Does anyone but me notice how much of a Sausage fest this is?
Besides, we need at least Three Females to have the insane Love Dodecahedron shippings that nothing Homestuck would be complete without.

Im up for some rp, should we create a memo?
Well I guess I COULD make my character into a girl. I mean what kind of a name is Malcolm? What was I even thinking?
But then I think all dudes except for one might be worse than all dudes and opposite gender clones.
Modified my Sheet. Oh God my Athletics.How can you have such high athletics? With your 10 in MGT you only have 9 according to my calculations.Spoiler (click to show/hide)

We start off with one common weapon I think.We don't actually start with a weapon do we?I think so, otherwise we'd be stuck using Fistkind for the first few encounters.
Can we use templates?
We don't actually start with a weapon do we?
Right, but it is randomly drawn from the common deck no?
Oh yeah it is, and Cript finish your character so I can RP with you damnit!Really? Because I'm not seeing very many things that could be actual weapons in the level-1 common deck :S

So, how about that sex change? (hopefully i will never have to say that ever again)
I guess my new first name is Claire? I've always liked Claire as a name. And replace the headphones with shades, because shades are cooler. Actually that's sort of a toss-up.
Sorry I was gone for so long. I had an appointemt with the eye doctor and it was SUPPOST to be only a few mintues, but I had to wait 3 hours for him to get to me.
Edit: Also, Criptfeind. You did not add your level to your skills. Just fyi.

Yeah, seemed like a lot of work to do when I will just redo it at next level up.
After a conversation with greekKiller, I want my server player type to be changed to Antagonistic.
Hum. I am thinking we get all the types anyway yes? Unless we are allowed to add multiples.
Switch up my stats with this sheet please? Darvi fixed it.
CriptFeind, according to the logs, you have not met my character yet. You should do so now.
Also, I had a small problem with RL saying he didn't know much about me. I think its safe to assume that RL, GK, BD, and AL have known each other for a while, say, two years at the least?
Fun Fact: I have twice as much insight then Bd, who is suppost to be great in it.Heh, lets just say when I have time to think about it I have good insight. But if I have to figure something out in a short amount of time, its worse.
Well BD can't count either it seems because he has not enough Ath.We all just keep failing our Character Creation: Mathematics checks.
Really guys /:-l
All I'm waiting for now is for somebody to tell me that I miscalculated my own stats.You didn't include your title! >:(
Sooooo... Can we pick the last three things for the missing people?I can't find the damned list of all of the cards, so go ahead.
I pick the ATH~ Coding Manual
Hm, we don't have a Hero of Space. Don't we need one of those for the forge and frog-breeding bit?Not really, most Homestuck RP's just make up an entirely different way to create a new universe.

I think we should Abridge some of the times people put in to things like 50 hours or 33 hours. Makes a whole lot more sense then 200 something hours.
That works.I think we should Abridge some of the times people put in to things like 50 hours or 33 hours. Makes a whole lot more sense then 200 something hours.
Answer: Time has no meaning within the Medium. So Pesterchum is making wild guesses.
The lesson here is that such shenanigans are even funnier in retrospect.Yes, especially future-RL's stuff showing up as current or past because her Pesterchum sucks.
I love the weapon making rules. Real DnD should have as good ones.
If one of us draws a card, can the others not get it?
Soooo... Just chose a card for Bdthemag?
And now I have to shoehorn in an explantion for our characters trolling themselves from the future.We need reasons?
You mean trying to be all-knowing and all-scheming and omnipulating bastard while actually having no clue about how the game works?Yup.
That was Future AL, not Current AL. So, presumably, he'd find out in the future since he's RL's server player.Oh. I didn't notice that F before his name.
And assuming you can find out things like someone's gender over the interwebs because your character has the highest Insight isn't necessarily a good idea. I mean, I have the highest Skaian Lore, but I'm not running around screaming things about the game, am I?
-Cript forgot to add the will modifiers from his class(+2) and template (-1)
when's the first session?
That's cool too.when's the first session?
I don't think there is a 'when' this is going to by pbp right?
Oh. Then it would've made far more sense if I had got the Musical Instrument. Mikheal has an MP3.
Also, I feel that we have forgotten to divide our Characters dreamselves into the different Dream Worlds.Thought the GM was doing that. But if we get to pick, I have dibs on Prospit due to Lucid Dreamself shenanigans.
PA: not sure
CN: dunno
KF: can't tell
SS: not a clue
(Also I notice RL is not on your list? I think he fits on Prospit, which is good cause that is the only slot open after my analysis, personality wise, and class/aspect wise he seems pretty neutral.RL = Danielle.
Aw dangit, are we going to have to draw our characters? I'll warn you right now: I suck at drawing.Nope. I just did because I can.

You're probably going to have to make a housemap for combatz, though - unless you want the GM to make one for you.
Derse would definetly fit DB, for obvious reasons. And i'll draw a basic map of DB's house in a bit, but its basically a mansion of a well known professor.
Cript you still forgot to add your level to your modifiers.
I wonder how you're going to do my room with a grid. Eheheheh. There's a reason I made it round, and that's not just the "breaking the fourth wall" pun.

You asking him to come will not work.
Do you have a house map? Or description? If so, put it up so when he does get on we can move forward.

So do I get to help him fight as server player, or should I let him do the fight alone?
So, just to double-check... is 2d10 2 rolls of a d10, or 2 times 1 roll of a d10?
Theros: Rolling 1's on reading checks, all day, every day.
roll two d10. If you just doubled your one roll, it'd be hard to get doubles (or hella easy, depending on how you interpret that), not that they matter much just yet.

Hit him with the halberd!
Aaaaaaand rolled a 1. This is gonna end badly.

Notice: Unless people mention otherwise, I will assume people attack using basic aggrievements.
Also, how did you get a one on two d10s?
For a basic aggrievement, the bonus is stat of choice modifier (in your case Mangrit or +5) + level (1) + precision (2). So a whopping +8.Oh. So 20 then.

I think you did light ranged kind? In that case, you can... I dunno, narrate at people.I tell them bad jokes 'til their ears bleed.
BD Needs to come on. I want him to kick-start my session because my character knows that Suburb = Apocalypse.
THis is because I assume our characters get into a different Suburb Session, but are still in the same Universe as the Cannonical Session. Mikheal just Looked up Rose's Walkthrough.
Hokay.
Move behind the dummy and stab it instead of slashing it.
Attack roll is 12, so 20 total.
Also forgoing the minor action again.
Gawd damn it. DB was on a second ago, but I needed to get dinner. Now hes gone.Sorry man have to do homework, give me 15-30 minutes then i'll be back.
Let's try the running-and-breaking thing one more time, why don't we?
18 for attack roll. And I'm still not getting how that Insight roll earlier helped at all. :\
And, once again, I'm forgoing the minor action for the sake of speed.

Originally, the plan was for him to make an easy mangrit check to turn the crank and when it opened up, his house would be transported.
DB can feel free to bop it on the head to advance the plot, however.
I need to look at the list of prototyping templates and finagle with them.

You guys should stop by the memo if you havent already.
Edit: You(GM) may want to invrease the Common deck size by addingin a few random ones. The first few levels can end up where you are just redrawing your own cards if no one wants to get rid of their card or flush their hand. We had this problem in the first game.

UnSportsman-Like! Sports Strife it is!
By the way, the general thought seems to be that prototyped items make the Enemy take up the form of the exact thing you prototyped, but I don't think this is how it works. I think it is more like "The enemies are related to the item is some way". So, for example, when we prototyped a Trainning dummy, I think instead of the Imp looking exactly like a trainning dummy, I think it'd be more look more like a woodpunk-ish machine with rotating parts. And instead of being a burning log, they... well, they'd just be on fire. I think you know what I mean.

Yeah, its some pretty big additions. There is no longer a sprite section, its replaced by a much better Companion Character section. There are three different Epic Boons to take at level 10. New alchemy stuff. New templates. Rangedkinds got changed, and 2H Crushingkind is now +1 Precision. Probably some other stuff I dont remember.New rulebook will be out on EoA day.
Kick-ass. It'll be the most awesome thing ever.

So are we going to make new characters or will we just transfer over or are we going to continue with the old one?

It's okay if it's too late, though.

The reference strikes the imp in the back of the head, slaying it instantly. Or, you know, coulda been the bat.
You feel as though you have reached an arbitrary amount of some form of points, and have grown more poweful as a result.

Well I choose Smart phone..Not quite sure what I should alchemise
I had a smartphone all along? Zuh? Well now I can chose LVL 2 Sylladex cards or something similar to that?I forget who had what. I'm saying we have 2 smartphones in the common deck.
Uh, how about... hmm... the "is" in the first option should be an "are"?
I don't think a grammar correction is worth much more than a bump though.
So who are we still waiting on for their new contributions to the common sylladex?
I twas trolled by the science-y men.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
Yeah, it could be an oppurtunity for others to get in and bother us. Waaaait a minute...

RL has alchemized the Halberd's Bite - properties Unreliable, Hardened Edge, and Elemental Infusion I. Or, for those who don't want to look it up, -1 to attack rolls, +1 to damage, and an upgrading of the hit dice from 1d12 to 2d6. Now, from what I understand, I have to pass a preroll to get it into my hand, right?
So if I draw it, does it take up a spot in my sylladex? And if it does, does it continue to do so if I collect it?
I thought all weapons alchemised automatically gained a card power a la page 55 of the manual...?So if I draw it, does it take up a spot in my sylladex? And if it does, does it continue to do so if I collect it?
Yes, it will take up a spot in your hand.
Once you collect it, it will not neccesarily, and you will have access to all of its passive abilities. I don't think you gave it a power, but if you had, it would be usable only when you hold the card.
I.... think I'll flush and redraw the smartphone, actually.
So I was mulling (heheh) earlier and now I want to know: What role are exiles going to have here? will we see/meet them? Will we have to follow their console orders? And most importantly, who are they?
I also could use a bit of a summary on sylladexes (sylladice?) and alchemy.
Ok, so, Can I Alchemize me some armour now?
DB: Jump back one block to the left and shoot at the imp!
13+8=21
RL: Go shred some imps with the new halberd.
Grab that weird looking manual, take a breather and head into the next imp infested room
Nope, just looked it up, it gives them the prototyping you did for your sprite.Not too sure on the confusion here with Sprite Amulet.
Which is strange. This looks to me like something that might end up changing once the EoA5 flash and also the next version of the rules come out.

It grants the Sprite the same template given to the Underkings by that prototyping. A Princess Peachsprite, which gave the Underlings the Pretty Princess Tier 1 Leader prototyping, would also receive that same prototyping if its player had the Sprite Amulet.
>Mikheal: Go kill some more Imps. Not like theres much else to do.
EDIT: Also, shouldn't GK be performing his duties as a server player?
Sorry about that.
Also Cript hasn't been on the forum for a week now according to his profile.
Bdthemag gazes into his mirror, dozens of candles sit around him in his dark bathroom.
"Criptfiend...Criptfiend....Criptfiend."
He was never heard from again.
Maybe have us teeny little character heads that you'll paste into the tile we're on so we can tell what colored square is what? And imp heads, maybe with the prototyping shown?
EDIT: (http://img.ie/c7989.png)
Like this imp, only it should probably be bigger and not thrown together in 5 minutes.

It is a world primarily comprised of Rolling Plains, with a few towns (and naturally castles) dotting the landscape. Plus a mountain range where Mikheal's home now resides.
Really bored today, so I went ahead and made a picture of SS.Spoiler: totally not a vriska recolor with some minor changes (click to show/hide)
And is Mikhael's home a castle as well, or a large mansion? The LOSAJ and LOHAS ones didn't have the relative houses in them, but I figure since I'll put the mountain range in I might need to know.

Only thing I'm not clear on... does this RTD run in like turns? Like we all decide on our actions then Blade posts a turn or what? Or is this what it's all about?
Also. Here is a thing I did. It is a character sheet.Spoiler (click to show/hide)
I'm a little unsure how everyone else got all those high skills, I'm just going with the three that the PDF said I should have by now. I need someone to look over this.
Oh yeah. I changed to a Seer. Seemed more appropriate.
And for the common Sylladex I'll take Smartphone. If 0/3 means I can't take it then I choose Weaponized Sylladex.The way the common Sylladex works is that everyone is dealt something from the common pool until they have their 'hand' full of cards, not counting Alchemy cards because that's a whole different monster. The common pool is much like a deck of normal cards - you get dealt one at random. The 0/3 means that there are 3 Smartphones in the common deck, and all 3 of them are currently taken by various people. So yeah, you can choose Smartphone, although since there are already 3 I don't really think we need more.
Okay, I'm prototyping....

But honestly, I greatly appericate your work and hope more gets done as we move along.
So when do we actually start playing? Like when Blade was doing the rolls and GMing the game earlier. I still don't fully understand the play-by-post nature of this game. Like: Do we decide what things happen to our characters? Or do we post actions and the GM posts results? If the former, this wouldn't be much of a game, more like just roleplaying. Are we just waiting on Darvi? Because I don't think he's coming back.For things that aren't major or combat, we just roleplay it out and then post the logs in the thread so Blade can adjust things accordingly. You'll post an action when in combat, or when Blade intends on controlling an NPC or whatever.

I still don't fully understand the play-by-post nature of this game. Like: Do we decide what things happen to our characters? Or do we post actions and the GM posts results?Basically, we post and he gives us the reaction. There isn't any real "Turns". Things mostly go by the GM giving out actions results one at a time. But while that isn't happening we can do our own thing... at least in till something that inside the rules happens. Then we do skill checks and shit.

Since I'm a fan of Homestuck, I'm rather intrigued by the idea of an RPG game based off of it. At the moment, I don't feel like reading 68 pages of text, plus I'm fairly certain your not accepting new characters by this point. I'm not very familiar with the rules of D&D or other games like this, so...Yeah. Is there enough room in the forum games section of Bay12 for two separate and very different games based on Homestuck?

Thanks, but no thanks. It's just that I don't really like Homestuck for RP because it kinda provides a completely fixed method to backstory and have the player nothing to lose. They always have one Guardian, which they are practically unrelated to. They must always be paradox cloned, they must always have a completely fine reaction to whatever is happening and they must not be able to spell unless they are Rose Lalonde.

That's an interesting interpretation. Which reminds me, Theros, are you still doing LoPaV? I wanna see!
To quote a response from Fniff;Thanks, but no thanks.

So yeah, he doesn't want to play.
Also, the MSPA Forums don't seem interested in the topic I made over there. So we may or may not have to just create our own troll character's to play.

On another topic, should we continue to search for another player, or just drop down to seven?If someone has someone in mind to join, I suggest we get another person. If not, I suggest we drop down to 7 for the sake of speed.

What does 1[W] mean? IMG+Level = 7 so a roll of 10+7 is 17.
I would say I am getting lucky with these rolls but then I would roll a 3 next turn.
How much is the sylladex abstracted in this system anyway? I am guessing we can have only two non-weapon cards captchalogues right now? Does captchalogueing a thing require being submitted do the GM? I read through the captchalogue section but don't understand it fully.

I read through the captchalogue section but don't understand it fully.You can only have 2 items (right now) that really have an effect on the game mechanics right now, iirc. However, you can captchalogue as many plot-important trinkets and shit as you want. I'm not sure whether Alchemy Hand and Sylladex hand are the same or not, though.
DB: Jump back one block to the left and shoot at the imp!
13+8=21
You hop backwards and shoot at Imp 2. You didn't specify, and normally I would have you stay on target, but your new position blocks any other target.
In any case, you just pegged him for 13 damage. Good going.
Imp1 moves into the space south of you, and attacks, dealing seven damage. Yikes.
Imp2 moves a step west, now bordering you on the east. He also deals seven damage. Pair of douchebags.
Imp3 is still inspecting the car.

1) The shading on pissed-mikhael makes it looks like he has two arms coming out of his socket and one of them is a dark blob andThats intentional, Its a sleeve. I said before that Mikheal dosen't wear his Jacket the normal way. Imagine like its a cape, only a thousand times more awsome. ((Thats what he thinks, anyway...))
What I am saying is it looks like unless there are two sleeves, one for the arm and one hanging down, it is pretty weird. Either way good work.Oh, I mistook what you said. I was trying to make it look like there was a small bump there.

Actually, realistically, the amount of grist you do or do not have is trivial.
If you're just itching for combat, that's fine, but I'd like to wait until PA and DB finish up, and then I can update the boondollar count.
Which, really, I should put in the OP.
Shouldn't the Imp be thrown back 2 spaces and provoke an attack from Troy?

Althouhg I would need someone else to create the assets for me, seeing as I completely suck at everything in MS paint (aside from editing) and I can't seem to do Transparency.You have my brush, my good sir.
Well, if the game is entirely dependent on the same sprites/assets used repeatedly, that's fine, but Homestuck stopped this after a while. MS Paint can't do transparency. I could try to draw assets, though.Yeah, but that doesn't mean we can't keep it going in an ISG. And we can always use some other program that supports transparency.

You leap a square to your left, summon up your reserves, and call up Froglosophersprite.
Imp 1 sits where he is and slaps you one with his tongue, or tries to rather. You are on top of this and will not stand for these nasty shenanigans.
Imp 2 steps forward and just claws you. It scores 5 damage, pointing out that sometimes, the simplest solution is the best one.
Froglosophersprite shows up. He'll have bottom initiative next round.

I'm a bit confused on how Alchemization works, mainly what bonuses I'm able to choose for the item.Depends - you also have 1 point from when you hit level 2 but didn't do anything because you spent a few weeks fighting those imps. So I dunno - depends if the alchemy points count retroactively or not.
EDIT: Oh wait I get it, I'm level 3 so 3-1=2. Meaning I have 2 points to spend towards the bonuses in alchemizing right?
Twas making DB's Alterinabound sprite, which I am creating at a Patheticly slow rate, when I made a mistake. A very funny mistake.Wha-?
In completely unrelated news Brian is now an Asian in my Headcanon.
I can't believe I forgot about pesterchum yesterday. Oh well. Classes are over now for finals, so I can be online whenever I'm not working.
Man, I miss hilarious in-character group pesterchats.I'm using the latest version, I'm just being lazy as hell as of recently when it comes to talking to you guys on pesterchum.I can't believe I forgot about pesterchum yesterday.

I forgot about it too, so no big deal.
EDIT: BD are you using a separate version of pesterchum from me? I'm using the 3.14.1 thing. I wonder if that's why I never see you on.

RL: Climb until you see the imps. Bring Snakesprite.
Why is everyone waiting on me? Nothing is happening where my character is. Should I be noticing imps or something?

Also edit: Do you really have the points to make all three of those items? I mean. I think you have to use at least 1 point per item no matter what.I don't think you have to, but if you don't you're basically clogging your sylladex with crap.
Also, The Fool, I don't think the inventory system works the way you think it does.
Oh, and we should have 2 alchemy points to spend on each individual item.
We need to spend at least .5 points in any alchemy. And we don't automaticly need to spend one point for every Alchemy, its just impossible to spend 0 or less.

Out of curiosity, why are you rolling three times if you've already used your multi-attack aggrievement this encounter?
>Shoot through imp to the right of me, then move 1 space up and 5 spaces right.
4+4 on attack roll. I guess you'll have to roll for brutal affront :)

Fool, are you a seer too? Because if so, my mistake, since we could actually use Guidance from Beyond TWICE during this set of encounters. I'm using it this turn though. Either way, declare what you want a bonus to.
Oh, and these opportunity attacks are making me uncomfortable. My next weapon will definitely be another rapier :I

I had no idea that it was once a battle for that. Now I really regret doing that. I really would have spent the points elsewhere had I known. Oh, and I doubt that healing 6 HP would be helpful at this moment. 3 enemies are more than likely to deal 6 HP in damage.

Wait, wait, wait. Guidance beyond says "who can communicate with you", but it doesn't specify that the method of hands-free communication has to be from a sylladex hand item. Is this the kind of thing we can't roleplay out, or we can roleplay it out but have to wait until we draw a smartphone or some such through game mechanics?
>Use Tidal Force on the imp nearest me, pushing it 2 spaces away from me, then move back six spaces.

>DB: Taunt your enemies with a few insults!
RL: Slide one space south and keep hitting him!
6+10-1=15.
Hands-free card states that I can communicate with someone as a non-provoking free action and give someone else +2 to a roll, and Guidance from beyond says that if I can communicate I can get +2 damage for the turn.
So if Freeform wants KM can have +4 to damage this turn while I have +2 damage.
Also, Hamstock is dead again because when I started it I hate temporarily forgotten how much I dislike running that specific kind of suggestion game.
In a few weeks I'll forget again.
>Use Second Wind, and take a 5ft step to the left.

I doubt I can shoot the imp from that position. You know, walls and all.
>Mikheal: Curiously investigate futher while searching for any kinds of stores.
Remember that you can attack and use second wind at the same time! I LOVE minor actions.
I think I will take my 5 ft. step. In D&D a 5ft. step never provokes attacks.
I thought that would work, and the imp would follow the sprite. Dang imps are smarter than they look.
Move 5 spaces down, 1 space to the left, then shoot at the remaining imp.

You can shoot through his space, but it gives the imp full concealment (-5 to your attack roll). I'm not sure which you'd prefer.

Either way I rolled a 5+2 which is 17 which I'm guessing is a miss no matter what I do.

That, of course, would automatically launch KM up to Level 9, though, so we probably wouldn't pull it off.

If you check the GM section of the rules, I believe that it says something quite different. It pays to read walls of text. Also, you reach Skaia by reaching God tiers. When you die on your quest bed, you respawn on Skaia.
I'm pretty sure that's how it works. There was a nice little flash page set to Skies of Skaia. Plus all the kids' houses were really tall (see Album 8 cover, gray lines on all the planets but the Battlefield).If you check the GM section of the rules, I believe that it says something quite different. It pays to read walls of text. Also, you reach Skaia by reaching God tiers. When you die on your quest bed, you respawn on Skaia.
I thought the last gate always took you to Skaia?? I must have misheard that somehow.
The first portal will take the player to another location on their planet, the second will take them to their Server player's house...About getting to Skaia, though I'm not sure this means what I think it means, or if it even helps at all:
After progressing through their worlds, the players will end up on Skaia itself, a planet covered in a chessboard pattern, representing the ultimate potential.
Didn't someone say that it was really hard to get god tier and not everyone could do it?Yeah, but that doesn't mean they were right.
The ones around the planets are called return nodes. Should help with the confusion.

But where would be the tension in that?Dying quickly and easily to an enemy far superior to you do not generate tension very well.
I'll pester you when you die, and then call for a memo. People need to know about the agent. Would this work for everyone?
I never said Mikheal was a tactical genius. He has his flaws, otherwise I guess he wouldn't be playing Sburb. One of those flaws, is being unable to back down from a fight, no matter how small a chance hehas of winning.

You run away from the Ogre, dodging as it swings a mighty fist at you, and retrieve Karl's Mark from your sylladex, turning and firing at the Ogre with 8 points of results.
He follows you, and swings hard, trying to smash you against the floor. Only your fancy footwork saves you from being a smear on your roof.
Imp 3 attacks Froglosipher sprite, hitting it for 8 points of damage, and Imp 2 also claws it, dealing another 5 points.
Froglosiphersprite flys after you and the Ogre, trying to ignore the scratch Imp 3 dealt against him as he went, suffering 8 points of damage. He attacks the Ogre from behind, hitting it for 10 points of damage.

What does "diagonal movement" have to do with anything? From my point of view, it just means he travelled an EXTRA square. The book still says his base movement is 6. Since he didn't use any special abilites (Nor does he have any ability that lets him do so.), he travelled far faster then he should be able to.
Unless there is some unspoken GM rule you never told me.
>CR: Keep hiding until the mysterious person passes.
[6,8+10]=24 if you needed another roll.
Actually, he could have gotten real close to you right there.
(http://img.ie/57171.png)
The first blue line is his first move action, 6 spaces. Then he traded his standard action for another move action (we can do that too), for another 6 spaces. Of course, then he wouldn't be able to kill you because no standard action.
Diagonal movement = from the space with the 1 in it to the space one down and one left is 1 movement.
Were you not listening? I said that the pride and stubborness he presents is a core part of the character. If he were to do it now, it would just make everything inconsistent.
And it would also throw everything out of whack if he died now. So basically, If Mikheal takes either of those options, the plot is fucked.

Seeing as HB's blade is likely just a normal one (AKA: Not incredibly gigantic) he can't be the one who kills him. And since Blade agreed this was canon with me in a PM exchange, he effectively said yes to giving me plot armor till this event happens. I really shouldn't have to worry about dying, I guess.

I can make a standard, minor AND move action right? If so:

4 spaces then.

Actually, I think Black Templars sudden landing and mysterious behavior counts as plot. I talked to the GM about it and he is going to be a little important. Also, I need to make the choice between waiting till Brian gets off his fat ass and helps Mikheal because current HB has him out cold, or waking up now at the cost of going Grim Dark. And if the GM is to be trusted, he'll also go Grim Dark at any point.
Speaking of which:
Mikheal: I'll... Consider it. But if I decide to do it, I DON'T need your help with it, because I can do quite fine on my own.
Mikheal: ... Ok. Do it.

Edit: Alex, did you choose my characters abilities for me?
That requires you to draw it first. You'll have to wait until you draw it, and normally hold onto it and use it at your next level up, but I think that's dumb, so you can recycle the card immediately upon drawing it, and use the points at the next alchemy.

It doesn't matter anyways because we leveled up twice. Either way my two items should work if that extra half point is there. Hooray!

It isn't really all that ballsy to leave your HP low when it can knock you down even further if you recovered. Seriously though if it managed to roll max damage I would be at 12 hp, which would probably kill me when the second ogre steps up. Hopefully the fire ogre is still hurting.
Just wanted to say I love the little puns and jokes you throw into the battles. It feels like it belongs, and it adds entertainment to what would normally be just a few boring ol' numbers. Thanks!
Also alchemy items coming with the common hands.
Oh, yeah, I choose Sprite Amulet for the common dex.

Hmm... fifth level common card. Wait, don't I get three card slots now that I'm level five? So let's see...
1) I'll take Legendary Piece of Shit for the fifth level common.
2) I'm going to make a precognition-themed rapier and and werewolf-themed armor for the alchemy. I'll do that when I get back to my main computer later, so no >ENTER for now.
3) As for the flash... you could always download the trial and follow some tutorials. The main difficulty would not be learning the tweening and timeline and all that, but instead syncing the images up to the music. That is hard as steel for me in Flash. I also want to offer to do images but MAAN I am up to my neck in image quota after finally getting Internet back. I could probably do a few if you wanted.
4) I do have a question. Do you think this system is feasible in a live game, like on Maptools? Because that would be incredible. I'm currently in a toss-up between systems/settings to use for my next impromptu Maptools game, which is something you should totally add me on Steam (http://steamcommunity.com/id/ffschooler) for if you want to be a part of.
I figured that if one fell they would stick to the walls, but now that I can toss two of them... I assume the imp took 6 diagonals.

Well this is about to get really awkward.I'm not in this, but I use Pesterchum all the time. It does give me that error, but I just kinda ... wait it out? I noticed that chumdroid likes to connect easier. Hurrah for Chumdroid!
Also BD's not been around for 5 days now. How long should we give him?
Also also it might be viruses/virii, but he said they were on his sister's computer but then maybe the gamblignants caught up with him. Man I knew he should've taken a canesword.
Also also also Pesterchum keeps giving me error 10060s. It's annoying as it keeps me from connecting (why I'm not on these days) but apparently it's just from busy servers. Anyone else get anything similar?
>CR: Search for an alchemizer and maybe some hints as to whose house this is.

I can be without a weapon. Joy.Nope. When you flush a weapon out of your sylladex, you retain all its collectible properties - you just can't use the Weapon Power that does 2[W] damage and whatever else you bought for it. That's how I've been using that one halberd for like 3/4 of the game so far.

I'll rewrite the Master Tonfa to be werewolf themed and post it later, but I should have a smokebomb with me in the ninja suit. It seems like something a ninja would keep in his pocket.
I just noticed that we draw from a common sylladex, and that I can be without a weapon. Joy. I'll need to pester KM next.

I don't think it works like that, because that would mean that the Trolls wouldn't be able to go around all their planets, let alone twice, which I believe has to happen in a Sburb.
RL: Go through DAT GATE.
Didja ya know some days I herp an entire derp? I do.
WESTWARD HO! TOWARDS THE NEXT CRYSTAL FORMATION
Guardian stats? I'm thinking 20+ of every stat, a trait that gives them a free +5 or more on everything, more speed than usual, a fucking incredible AC.. the list goes on.

Pesterchum is up and running for me. And in true Trollin style, the second I have my account up I'm pestered by someone.
All of the Scourge Charging makes me think of Troy of some bat wielding juggernaut. And I am completely fine with that,

Anyway nobody asked but the reason I'm not making my alchemy stuff is because no hands yet. I want to know if I get a punch designix or a LPOS or something so I can add the effects and stuff.
RL: Tarzan time. SWINGING THROUGH THE TREEEEEES
Book it! Leg it! Look around for a bit, Can we see much of anything down here besides the gate? Anything of real interest? Like a temple?
Question: Can I have Extra Damage AND multi-attack? Is Extra Damage counted as a "normal modifier" for the sake of multi-attack's decrease? If so this is my level five alchemy.
>Mimi & Steve: Enter.
The Rulebook never says I have a limit to how many cards I can make at one time. The extra's just go into my personal Alch Deck to be pulled on later.
Sorry John, but for balance purposes, I don't think I'm going to allow Anti-personal, Block, or One Use Only.
And the Miscellaneous Effect for Jetbike should have less benefitsBenefits? It doesn't allow me to use any Melee weapons! How does that help me?!
Spoiler: It's a treasure map. I know it. (click to show/hide)
4th Edition, and, by proxy, any conversions based on it, like this one, have a very tight power curve. Enemies that would stop a 2nd level player cold are easy meat for a 4th level player. I don't want to play around with the damage curve too much. There are already plenty of pre-built traits that allow for it already. One Use Only also sounds like a story item, and I don't know who (or what) it is intended for.Sorry John, but for balance purposes, I don't think I'm going to allow Anti-personal, Block, or One Use Only.
Can you please tell me why? Block only has a 50/50 chance of working, Anti-Personal is nerfed by Weakened, and I don't even know why you won't allow One Use Only. How could that possibly be OP in any fashion?
And the Miscellaneous Effect for Jetbike should have less benefitsBenefits? It doesn't allow me to use any Melee weapons! How does that help me?!

>Mimi & Steve: Legitimately Enter
>Get some dry clothes on, Really.
RL: Slow down and wait for Alex. Conveniently happen upon exactly what you were looking for. Or some imps. Whichever works.
Also, "one use only" is not a plot trait in any respect. I clearly said that it was one use per enemy. Meaning I just can't use it against the same enemy twice.Last I checked, you can't do that anyways for Item cards. Of course, I may be wrong, in which case I am going to be spamming that Sun Tzu special attack like there's no tomorrow.
In unrelated news, why do finessekind weapons seem to suck so much? I mean, bladedkind uses the same stats (I think, unable to check right now), do more damage, have the same precision, and are more consistent. Finessekind doesn't get any special advantage or anything, it's just.... really weak comparativelyBecause if you read the footnote for Finessekind, they can actually do damage spikes depending on whether your final attack roll is odd or even. Plus you can dual-wield like a badass.

Ok, first off, I'm sorry if I sounded like I was insulting you Blade. I assure you I didn't mean any offense.
Second, I didn't think the Damage curve was as tight as you discribed it. We have barely even stratched the surface of a game thats take weeks, maybe even months to complete in the canon, and we have already hit level 5. That can throw someones prespective off a little.

I can? Yeah. LET'S DO THAT.
"THAT'S FINE. IT WAS A WEIRD SET OF CIRCUMSTANCES, AFTER ALL. SO WHE- UGH!" Alex claps his hands to his nose, and points toward a large pile of dead tree snakes. The smell is awful."Oh my god, that's just... horrible! Seriously, what in the unholy hell is going ON here?!?"

>Mikheal: Payback time.
I'd like to redraw, please. When redrawing, I can aim for a specific alch card(s), right? I'd like to aim for drawing Lunar Cross, Prospitian Chainsword and Werewolf Fur Coat.
I forget if I'm supposed to do the rolls myself or not. You did them last time.

CA: Be watching. Prepare scathing dialogue for later.
You'd do that, you really would. But right now, you're busy feeling empathetic towards someone for the first time in your life. WHO'S CUTTING THOSE DAMN ONIONS, I SWEAR TO GOD I WILL KILL WHOEVER IS CUTTING THOSE DAMN ONI-

You just did that! Honestly, it's like these commands are running late or something!
Suggestion to Theros/RL/Danielle: Placate him with the red meat.
i'm so sorry
I'm dying over here. What is air?I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or not, and I feel like I killed the moment, so I'll apologize. Sorry for that.
RL: What in the eight hundred and thirty seven layers of hell just happened. You just... don't... even...
Snakesprite: Dammit, the sprites have to do everything around here. Try dragging Danielle somewhere less full of carnage.
CA: Dream.
You begin to see things you never thought you would see. Despair, hope, rage...
And then you wake up in a pool of blood. Not yours, solely - you can see the corpses of several nearby. You can make out the Rogue, the Sage, the Heir, the Page, the Knight... You can't walk, you can't breathe.
You are a speck. You are alone, unfeeling.
And then you see the Mage. Weeping, alone, astounded at his slaughter. You laugh at his misery.
You are dust, and you mock those who, like you, have truly lost it all. You are nothing, and you are horrible.
Then you actually wake up with a concussion, mild hangover, and TB standing over you with a giant clock handle in case you try anything.
I'm dying over here. What is air?I'm not sure if that was sarcastic or not, and I feel like I killed the moment, so I'll apologize. Sorry for that.

Anyway time for a real action on my part:

Also wow shit there you guys are doing awesome serious stuff and here I am mucking about wow I feel so bad.

"Who knocks anymore?"
"HeH."

RL: What's the goo taste like?

I didn't roll doubles, as much as I would've liked too. I'm using 10d's instead of 8d's because of my Weapon's ability.
How is rolling two 9's plus bonuses not "rolling doubles"? You're being unclear here.

Oh right.
WE NEED A MEMO. Now or later. Not sure.
You look outside the hole, but that bastard's seems to have made good his escape......Off the side of sheer clift face. Have you already forgotten that Mikheal's house sits on top of 10,000 ft high mountain? Which means, in simplier terms, that you will certainly always die if you jump off of it without somekind of equipment or, in Mikheal's case, landslide to break your fall. Its the entire reason HB didn't just kill Mikheal outright, if I read the tauntlogs correctly.

On a different note, when is everyone available for a memo? Last night failed, but we still need it done at some point.

I think he would've likely found some way to get down from the mountain by now (Doesn't really matter how.) and would be doing some kind of stupid Side-Quest for Boondollars. And about to pester Mimi a bit.
Eh, I think we should have another OOC memo some time in the future.
Actually I meant an in-character memo. A lot has happened, and not all the characters are quite up to speed. We can discuss the temples, and maybe the Dersites.
Anything else up here? Otherwise. Explore HARDER.
stuffMy eyes are not ready for this. The quality of art in this thread shall increase thousandfold, and I'll just sit in the corner eating my metaphorical art paste.
But in all srsness, welcome to the game. If you need a summary of events/personalities/whatever, I can give you that, but I promise nothing in regards to quality.That'd be good, as when I start reading through a thread, I feel as though I have to read every single word, whether or not I want to. There are 185 other pages and I'll be unbearably disappoint with myself if I stop halfway or otherwise don't read every word so a summary'd be nice.

Seriously? Hell no. We don't fast-forward up to you being in the middle of some random quest. You're lucky I'm not a sadistic GM, you'd be at a red-bird military trial and separated from your sylladex.
Also I'm pretty sure BT would be guarding it up with Danielle ATM, since he seems to be all about that, from what he has said. Blade doesn't seem to want to post his actions though.
And what, pray tell, would be the point of an unnecessary quest, side or otherwise? Don't bother answering that, I'd rather we just move forward with the game.
And next time you decide to give me grief about being 'knocked out of the game for a month', remember a few things:
This game runs slowly. It isn't uncommon for a battle to take days, sometimes a week (or more) to be decided. Keep relative timeframes in mind.
You chose to attack an enemy you knew was out of your league, when the enemy was interested only in leaving your house. Even after being reduced to zero hit points, you weren't killed, and you want to complain? Seriously?
Now. You are in your house, and you are caught up to everyone else, in relative time. What are you getting up to?

Wait... why would Riccto write up Brian's removal? Shouldn't it be Theros or whatever due to TB hacking the universe?
Not that I care, I'm more interested in getting someone else in.
I guess its going to be a combo effort considering both LH and TB are taking part in it.

even in the comic, we've never actually seen the exiling processYes we have. It's similar to ectobabies, except the portals entered lead to the post-meteor planet instead of the past. AR was exiled on the ectolab, WQ drove a ship through a portal, etc.
At the very least, we can turn Brian into an NPC. I'm generally against any option that involves removing him directly.

I didn't mean follow a Dersite. :P
Follow anyone that has the same uniform as the one that followed me.
Lets go with following some random mook. Really doesn't matter to me then. I have no idea who these people are, or why the moon was evacuated. Lets just see if they can lead me to some place that looks important.

Have you worked out your character sheet to level 5 yet? If you have any questions about putting it together, just ask.I think Theros has some stuff jotted down, but only the planet in the medium (Land of Produce and Machinery), title (Knight of Breath (?)), strife specibus (whipkind), and the color is sorted out.
Also, since bdthemag left we've leveled twice, and consequently there are two sylladex common cards, a level 4 and 5, that need to be selected, which you can do.Not exactly sure how leveling works; I'll look more through the pdf tomorrow because my sleeping meds are starting to show signs of getting impatient with me.
I llol'd at that. Good job with the the uh the I'm not good at giving non-generic compliments. Pretend there's a non-generic compliment there, or alternatively, take the fact that I laughed at it as a compliment. Or you can make both of us feel bad and take it as an insult.Spoiler: Still-Life (click to show/hide)
Off the top of my head, I think you have 18 PLC (Knight) and 16 ACU (Breath). The other two stats will be 12/10 or 14/8 (you get to choose which stat has which number. Speed is 6 unless you're a Thief (i'm rad) or you choose heavy armor. More on that below.
1st level hitpoints will be 18 (PLC) plus whatver your mangrit is, you'll have to choose before hp per level can be found.
Same thing with Fortitude, but Will is 9 and Reflex is 8, with some other modifiers (I don't know because I don't have the pdf).
Initiative, no clue. Sorry.
AC first needs you to choose heavy or light armor. I think it's heavy armor is +4 but -1 speed, which can be removed on alchemy items. Light is your Acumen modifier +..2? I think?
e: I like making character sheets waaay too much.
Ooh Blade can I make the character sheet for apples? It'd be less work for you <== good #1! It'd have to wait til' tomorrow though.
Edit: Recent MSPA updates make Brians removal even more undisirable. Bards are apparently massive wild cards, capable of changing our fortunes singlehandedly. Think about how much !!FUN!! It would be!

A template would be nice, like what things I need to look for/roll up; I've only ever roleplayed in maptools, in which I was walked through and rules were pretty unstrict because I am not a roleplaying veteran. Even so, it was only a few times, and the last time was a while ago.
This is pretty different from what I've done before, but that doesn't mean I'm any less interested.
I just wish we didn't need to kick off Brian. It doesn't feel right. But what happened to BD the mage anyway? Its not normal for someone to stop playing a forum game suddenly and without saying anything. Well, after they have gotten so far into the game, I mean. Cript and Darvi barely even started the game, and even Darvi came back after a while to explain his absence.
And speaking of Darvi, I feel that BD will end up just like him. He'll just suddenly turn up after we fully retcon him. And it'll be awful.
But anyway:

Really? I thought it would. It would be a hellvalot more useful then a vague description. Especially considering I got a 23. You have to consider that without mods, a 20 is the best roll you can get. Even then, it would be nice to know.What about stat-wise.Yeah, sizing up your foes does not give you their stats.

Blade, I'm so sorry. You say these people have good intentions. But if they do, they are REALLY horrible at expressing it, to be honest. 12 of them, all of them armed with mainly ranged weapons, are waiting in a dark forest at each side of a road, in the middle of Blue Bird Territory (Risking possible dectection and restarting a very costly War), with the excuse of "The King/Queen wants to ask a lone and completely unremarkable merc who has done almost nothing noteworthy ever some questions in person", and then also threaten to use force if he didn't come with them. Not to forget that only a little while before, he saw HB sending a message via a Red Bird Messager, which Mikheal can clearly remember, because it only happened an hour or so ago for him.
I do not mean to insult you in any way, but did you really expect me or Mikheal to Buy this? Ever?

ALRIGHT I so got this one it'll be coming up soon
- All your saves get +1 from Armor of Scorn
"Can't tell you. You'll have to come get them yourself, though."
Hm, in the rules I have (they're a bit old, can't get to the new ones because the website in the link on page 15 of the MSPA forum thread is not working right now) it says "Gain a +1 bonus to your Fortitude, Reflex, and Will", which I'm guessing means the defense and not the throw. I don't think the character sheet has a spot for saving throw modifiers, but I'm not completely sure I know what I'm talking about.
- All your saves get +1 from Armor of Scorn
- All your saves get +1 from Armor of Scorn• Whoops, forgot to edit that part out. I found out why they were 19 and 20 (from Armor of Scorn, yes) but had written that earlier in Notepad and then posted them with my sheet without actually looking over it again.
- 6. I don't know what that (_) means. Also it'll stay 6 unless you wear heavy armor or something WITHOUT first giving it the Custom Tailored trait
- Okay yeah that's cool
- It's the number you get per level, which is (I think) MGT modifier + PLC modifier
- You start at level 1 NORMALLY, but you are level 5 because you are cool
- I love your sprite
- The stat is what stat you're using for the attack modifier
The only error I see is that you made her color #00FF00 (0,255,0) when it's supposed to be #00DC00 (0,220,0).Am I doing it right? Did I make some kind of glaring error, like misspelling the name or something?Spoiler: The sheet, now with 100% less SBAHJ influences (click to show/hide)

Actually, I was just about to post an action for this. You see, we have a resident hacker-troll, and he's already been screwing enough with the game that this should come as no surprise to anyone.
So: >TB: Start hacking.
You are going to be haxx0red into the session. That's about the start and finish of it. The only question is, do you want to have been ripped from a session already in progress, or from pre-reckoning earth?I'll go with the latter. It'll go well with me having not been in a formal rpg, and also with my fuzzy knowledge of how all that alchemization stuff and whatever involving SBURB worked. I don't know how people remember that stuff, I'd have to reread that section to understand it again. Or at least visit the wiki but my laptop's too slow to be loading all that.
I wonder, if you can captchalogue a salamander, can you do the same with CD?
Just a thought.
Mimi sighed. "Looks like it's the hard way."
>Mimi: Pick up and start carrying the droll.
"Sorry, fella. You've been ever so gracious, considering we're supposed to be mortal enemies. Is it possible you could lead me to this archagent of yours? How were you going to get back to him once you finished, anyway?"
"Sorry, but I have a feeling that you'll just run away if I let you down, and right now, you're my only connection to getting what I want. So what reason do I have to let you down?"
"Uhm... maybe? Stay over here while I go check so you don't trigger something if the situation turned nasty."
RL: Investigate.
"Tell you what, small Dersite. In my strife specibus I have a very, very powerful crossbow that could puncture you in a single hit. If you try to run away, you'll learn what real pain feels like, maybe even taste the sweet warmth of death if you're unlucky. Now, I'll put you down on one condition: you let me follow along to where you were headed next, and stay in my line of sight. Do we have an understanding?"
8+10+6 trolling roll for intimidation if necessary. Why can't I be this lucky when doing normal things?

"understandable. but bef00re y00u g00, d00 y00u kn00w anything ab00ut sab00tage? specifically b00at sab00tage?"
"It's complicated." Mimi steps back, not letting the Droll out of her gaze. "He might be safe, but he might not. More importantly, there's a new player in his place, Emoly or something, and he has no idea what he should be doing. If I didn't contact him, he would have attempted to scale a vast cliff with his bare hands."
Just let me know whenever I can listen in to the Agents. It's weird not being able to post anything beyond commentary.
Emily grabs a cereal bar from a cupboard, and discards the wrapper before heading back to the living room, where her kernelsprite and laptop are. She boggles vacantly at the unmoving green orb, all the while performing the equivalent of stroking one's beard without actually stroking, for a few moments.
"Wonder what'd happen !f someth!ng touched !t." Thinking it'd be a bad idea to actually touch it herself, and knowing she's supposed to do something with it with the tattered doll in her hand, she opts to touch the floating object, using said doll as a sort of non-hand-enveloping glove.
CT: Poke your kernelsprite with your voodoo doll.
"Lessee. KM sa!d someth!ng about ask!ng !t quest!ons. Doesn't seem to have a mouth, but oh well." She hesitates momentarily, thinking about what she should start by asking it.
"Where AM I?"
Emily thinks about what face-like objects she has, and in not even a second's time remembers that she has a whole stash, a collection really, of masks in herdungeoroom.
She retrieves a mask from her stash. This particular mask is shiny and black, adorned with mouth and eye zippers, and one going down the back of the head. She chose this one mostly because, in addition to being one of her favorites, she has two more just like it, and the zipper on the left eye is coming out of its stitching a little, so why not make use of it with this sprite business.
Emily unzips the facial features, save for the left eye, and leaves the one on the back zipped as well given how the sprite seems to just kinda absorb things.
"I hope th!s works."
CT: Throw the mask at the sprite and shield your eyes from the blinding light you expect to burst forth afterward.

Also, if you want, I can set up your house. Just give me a few details about it.It was a three-story house, or rather, a two-story house with adunbasement. There's the aforementioned giant living room, which connects to the kitchen, in which there is both a laundry room in a closet-like area, and adjacent staircases leading to the second floor and the lower level of the house.
On the upper floor is Emily's bedroom and her dad's bedroom, as well as a single bathroom and a guest room.

So, I take it you are readying a move action to use the shift item when the first enemy at melee range attacks you, and switching to your sword then?
Unfortunately, none of these count as agent or imp types, so your chainsword won't deal additional damage. Not that you've drawn it yet.

You swing your mighty blade at the leader, but he sidesteps your attack again. Either he's better than you thought, or you're off form...Or maybe the GM doesn't think that any roll lower then a 20 should hit. :P JK JK Don't take it seriously.

But in all seriousness Blade, what are these guys stats? I don't want to sound like I am complaining or demanding something, but it doesn't make sense that I can see ever other enemies stats, but not these guys stats. Even after a fairly good Insight roll.

"Hello."
You aren't really supposed to know there stats, you know. In most games I've played with, it's been considered bad form to look into the monster manual unless you're running. What insight does is it gives you a good idea of their capabilities, not their exact statistics.

Like Johnfalcon, this is also my first time actually participating in a game with the D&D system. I've used it a little in maptools, but all I really did was roll. If we're using terms like "virgin run", then I suppose one could refer to what I have done as D&D foreplay.
*I was messing up from the very beginning-- all the times I've rolled here, it's been init+modifier+1d10. I'm not sure how I figured that that was the way to do it; I probably misread something, did it once, and then rolled with it (pun may or may not be intended).

After a moment of deep thought, Claire speaks.
"i don't think i have one handy right now. there's probably one around the house somewhere but i don't know where. in the meantime, does anyone have a spare cloth to clean up the blood? and, uh, where do you think you're taking that?"
You know, I've always wondered: if players have health vials (just heal it with vitality gel), when can they actually get hurt (oh no blood everywhere)?
Blade, I don't think it was a good idea to pit a single player against 12 enemies, seven of which have ranged attacks, and all of which seem to have +50 health. Now were back to the whole HB thing where Mikheal ended up fighting an enemy far stronger then him. Except in this case its quite a few enemies. I'm not complaining, but what action in this situation would you suggest that doesn't end in Mikheal's dead corpse? Which also does not include retreat or surrender?
Actually for clarification. Does my time travel move along my personal time line (I was at the bar five hours ago and now I am at my house. I rewind 5 hours now I am at the bar)
Or does it move along the general time line ((I was at the bar five hours ago and now I am at my house. I rewind 5 hours and now I at my house five hours earlier?)

Steve looked up to notice Danielle. "Mimi isn't with you? She just pestered me, anyone know where she went?""She got away. I'd like to think that she managed to jump through a gate by now, but I honestly have not a damn clue where she is."
"nah, i think she could use the alone time. i say we go treasure hunting."
Also a semi-related question: are you allowed to make 2 items that are exactly the same, so you have double the chance of drawing it? Like, can someone make (example) 4 healing items, all with the same abilities/traits?
Also, Apples, now would be a good time to do your alchemy. Remember, if you have questions, ask.I have 10 alchemy points, right? That's probably not the only question; I'll likely accrue more as the alchemization process goes on.
I have 10 alchemy points, right? That's probably not the only question; I'll likely accrue more as the alchemization process goes on.
"I honestly think we should find our way through the gates, since I'm kind of tired of getting wet and ALL THESE FROGS ASDGALKSDJGLKASJDG. So I'm going to be working on making a ladder or jetpack of some sort. Anyone have anything that could help?"
Heh... suddenly I realize the genius of the alchemy system. If you keep making low-point items (like starting with a 3- or 4-pointer) every level and keep taking upgrade on each one, you can add a 1-point upgrade onto the item every level for nearly no cost. Possibly increasing the price when at later levels but making sure to keep it at level - 2. By doing this you can avoid Rare cards no matter what.

That reminds me of another question: making a 2 handed weapon when you only have the 1 handed version of the kind abstratus means you have to put the Portfolio Upgrade again, right?
E: which reminded me of yet another question: can you make a regular alchemy item at level 10 or is it only God Tier/Epic Alchemy? And what's the difference between plain ol level-up alchemy and the Epic one?

No, you can swap between making 1 or 2 handed weapons, it's just that when you make a weapon, you need to specify whether it is 1 or 2 handed. The only exception is your 'default' weapon.Groovy. That sure frees up a lot of stuff. -goes back to planning for TEH FUTURES-

Twas not aware that Alex had Elf pictures in his room.
It seems appropriate since he's supposed to be a fantasy novel nerd.
Suggestions go here. (http://ironyland.net76.net/box/index.php)
I'm going to see how far I can get without diverging too much from this game's canon. I won't be including characters that are gone now.
Well, just remember to portray Alex as an enormous chicken-shit.
Also I see Apples has a good handle on the "sassy black narrator woman who don't need no man" (is that what it's called? I forget) feel. :PSassy? Check. Black? Check. Female? Check. Don't need no man? That one is optional, but certainly check. Also optional is that she is large.
Note how there are two cardfishsprites, the only difference being a color switch-- probably about half (or more) would be variations on dadknightsprite

Awsome. Just keep in mind that he duel wields the stuff that Mikheal normally swings around with both his hands.
I never said he had to wielding them. Just having them hanging off his back if you are going to do him. Its not a huge deal.
>Mimi: Ask Emily's sprite if it would carry them to the gate.
So what's the deal over at Claire's house? It looks like the main consensus is to go up to the gate while Steve investigates the Case of the Runaway Brunette. We all have fly-y items and/or other means of getting up, so..

I don't recall anyone ever bringing up her ethnicity or last name ever so I think it'd be a pretty smooth change. Would this be okay?
RL: Be paranoid. Hide behind the couch.

I'm seeing the group meeting the elder gods in the flesh, in my head. The two foremost things I see are Troy handing out the indiscriminate bro pale-love, and Alex nearly pissing himself in a corner.
I messed around a bit with it, it's pretty cool, but I kind of feel like it's cheating, what with the "making a song in seconds compared to my taking ages and long times". I'm just bitter though.For RL's theme, I'm playing around with the Simple Instrumental March setting. TE's theme came from the ballad setting, and I got a pretty decent TB Strife theme out of the Punk Rock setting and a bit of editing. I also tend to shift stuff to four-thirds faster than the preset BPM depending on what I'm aiming at.
So what settings are you all using?
Who's for taking all of these and throwing them into an album?I am. Maybe post their respective album art (if they all have any) in the OP and their links, or bandcamp or something since downloading things just to listen to them might be a bit of a hassle for some.
Also, I couldn't even get the cgMusic thing to open because I have dll problems, but that's a whole other topic.I did too, so I just nabbed the dlls off the interwebs, virus scann'd them, and threw them in the cgMusic folder. Worked like a charm, and it was free.

So, that's Level two (one point), Level three, (two point), and half of a Level four (three points) alchemies then? Also, by my math, You have 5 and a half points left, unless you have some modifiers I don't know about.

Sweet Murals, Batman!RL: Examine the rest of the room.
Skaian Lore check: (7,8) + 12 = 27.
You take a look around. The walls are covered with some kind of mural. At the left side of the entrance, there's a large sphere surrounded by dots, and some of the dots are colored differently than the rest. Further on, the planet is surrounded by more dots, and the symbol for Sburb is at the center of the sphere.
The next part does not have the one sphere, but rather nine, 8 surrounding one in the center. On closer inspection, the center sphere has another smaller, yellow sphere by it, and far away from the others, there is a tiny purple one. Around all of this is an enormous ring.
The next part in the sequence shows this ring in more detail, and you notice that it is made of dots. More and more detail is shown as you progress around the room.
Soon, you come to a section that looks like someone put a building on one of the asteroids that apparently make up the ring.
After that, eight tubes, four on both sides of a small platform are shown. Each tube has a different symbol on it. In the next picture, the ring is being shown again, but the symbols that were on each of the tubes have appeared on multiple asteroids. In addition, there are seven other symbols, most of them looking similar to at least one of the eight that you saw on the tube drawing. One symbol is repeated exactly the same though.
The last picture before you notice that you've come full circle is those asteroids that had a symbol placed on them were missing from the field.

"That was what that was?" The King says, surprise clear on his face. "Frankly, I'm rather shocked. I was certain he'd make his

a short moment, he returns his attention to you. "Given the position my enemy has put me in, I'm sure you understand my interest.

either side. Whether it be the results of the year's farming... Or, a wandering knight."

• Hypothetically, would a ranged burst (e.g. the Grenade thing) attack hurt players around me in addition to enemies?
• Who is this BT person? I don't see them in the OP.
I'll move south 1 space. That way we can both deal with each enemy simultaneously one at a time. Though if we can attack diagonally, then there's still the benefit of only having the chance on one of the enemies attacking us at a time, and only one of us at that. unless they can attack diagonally too, but still, the walls restrict two potential positions for enemies that would allow them to attack.
If you move south, theoretically all of the imps could get in and start messing you two up. Just checking, this is what you're doing?Oh, huh. I was thinking of this in a way where once an enemy is close enough to attack you, they prioritize attacking you over moving, like in Pokemon Mystery Dungeon or Dungeons of Dredmor. That being said, I'll just stand my ground instead.

Do you have to use an aggrievement/fraymotif for each attack, or is that optional? Just checking. Also, another hypothetical: can I throw my Small Explosive Ball With Straps when I use it, and, if so, how many spaces may I throw it?

Like, how are those done? I though the GM rolled for damage wait that's not a damage roll. Is it 2d10+attack modifier or something? I don't see an attack modifier anywhere, nor how to find it, nor did I see where he got that constant +12 from.

The answer is probably yes, but if I and/or another player are in range of the blast of a Grenade item, then I/we/they'll get hurt, right?If the answer's no, and I can throw it over the card basilisk, then also Throw ball(ga)grenade at non-card basilisk.
In that case I use >STANDARD AGGRIEVEMENT: TRY AGAIN.

[9,4+12=25]Since the Card basilisk is down, do you want to keep this action, more or less?

Shit that was unexpected. I'll take my chance with the brutal affront thing again.
Is Threshecute an at-will action? If not how is Emily using it so much?
Also, I think I missed the part about one of the Prospit girls saying these guys couldn't look at them.
Ah, no... I must have missed that. I'll go back and look.
Oh yeah, I meant to ask-- is the basilisk able to get through that doorway (even though it's half the size of the basilisk itself)?

Also, >Mimi: Wait to see if anyone comes in the factory to assess the damage.
RL: Go find Alex. Figure out how much grist can be spent on your house.
"Actually, it's probably better to wait outside so we don't look quite as suspicious. I want information, not prosecution."
>Mimi: Head outside to wait.
"Then maybe you shouldn't've gone and destroyed a factory." Emily mutters under her breath to herself. She pauses a few seconds after Mimi begins walking before saying "...'Kay." and following.

Mimi bends down to the Salamanders' level. "Yeah, but they were roughing up the mechanisms a bit. Looks like production's come to a halt. What happens now?"

Oh, uh... you guys, my laptop only has like less than 3 hours of power left (it's been fluctuating between 1h30m, 1h55m, and now it says 3h exactly), and my charger is completely fried now. :( (Literally, it actually smells of burnt plastic at the end, probably due to the sparks when I tried to hold it in place since the tape wouldn't do the job anymore. There was smoke... but then there also was that one time with the tape.) The violent and aggressive display flickering thing it's doing really isn't helping, either. The new charger will be here in between 4 days and 2 weeks, so until then, I won't be posting on weekends, but I will be able to post for a brief time (about an hour) on school days.
At least I can bring my flash drive with me to school with music and the pdf, among (not many) other things.

The lead salamander tilts his head to one side. He says he doesn't know. Nothing really goes into the factories aside from the trees, and same for what comes out. He asks if that's why the factory is screaming.
"Sounds like a plan, then. I'll go inform the rest of our motley crew."

"Yes, but then we'd be leaving the rest of the crew behind. And I'd prefer we not split the group any more than we have to."
Mimi shrugs. "Probably. Have you always worked at this factory?"
"Well, If you insist that your bring your 'Friends', but if you have to ask me, I say that it may be better in the end to split up...""And you know damn well that I don't really give a rat's backside what you think, BT.

I may or may not follow through with this goal, but it's there. I feel obligated to now, and I know I shouldn't, but I'm just using that as motivation to make it hapen. Also I need more practice drawing males so there's a factor for wanting to follow through with this.

I think it'll either be more glitch shenanigans to get a new character, GM intervention, or perma-death.

And since Apples said to suggest drawings, I'm totally suggesting drawing out some of that argument. And maybe Hitlersprite since that would be terrifying and probably sort of offensive. So probably not Hitlersprite.Pff yes-- but which part to draw, meaning which part to write into the word bubbl-- wait I got it, I know which part. This'll be great. It'll be a challenge to both put three -- hopy shit THREE -- people on the same page and reasonably size them, but I'll be damned if I don't try.

I actually played a later version of that, I think. In school. I usually forded, because derp. I'd always start rolling in late winter, to make sure I didn't get nailed by an early winter in the coming year.
Way to waste the 4000th post, Blade.
What was wrong with the arms? Just for future reference if I have time to make more sprites.
Where's the light coming from? Gotta know where to shade. Unless you want me to perform the ultimate shading sin or something.
Anyway got Claire's front and back sprites done. Just need sides.and coloring but that's easy right

Also, I apologize for getting on the thread and hassling everybody instead of actually posting. I'm not getting much internet time.
"lets get g00ing then. g00ta keep pace."As soon as Troy attempts to offer a hand, Mikheal swats it away.
"trust me DA. i kn00w we've g00t this. just w00rk with me man."
Chuming check por favor.
Couple of questions:
Are Mimi, Emily, and Jack (nah calling him by his name is dumb, TB) heading north?
What were Alex, Danielle, Steve, and Claire doing, and have we rocketed over thePlatte Snake Willamette Valleylava river yet?
e: Couple more questions.
What is the ingame date?
How long has it been since the game started in universe?
Also, apples, if those high resolution shots are still on the table, can I have Alex's? My ego loves art.Actually make that 5 now. Or 6 if you count the double also. Or 7 if you count both those and the one in the previous sentence. Or the... nevermind. Anyway,
Also also, are there any more TB references aside from the last one you posted (http://img.ie/770a8.png)? I wanna see what his hair looks like. Also, what's his title? It'll help with drawing the outfit.The only other one doesn't really show much more. And his hair isn't exactly black, it's more like a dark moss color. Because he rarely washes it :P
If you need me to draw him with the god-hood off, just say so.That'd help a lot; I'd rather draw him sans hood because I draw hoods weird and hair is funner.
Also, what's his title? It'll help with drawing the outfit.
Oh wait, I remember his symbol. He's the Rogue (??? Thief?) of Time.Though his outfit is green. Huh. I'll wait for Theros to confirm what it is that he is just to be sure though.
Oh wait, I remember his symbol. He's the Rogue of Time.Yep. But the symbol and color are bit changed because of hacking shenanigans.
I think I accurately captured Claire with the latest update.I think the best conversations were the ones with Claire and the one with the... the... I feel like I should spoiler this. I'm not sure if it's because you used the word update. Probably not.
As it turns out, I am horrible at spriting. Anyone willing to help me out?
Although I still can figure out how to do Transparency, because for some reason my verison of Paint doesn't like to make that stuff obvious or easy.
Anyway, Mikhael's sprites are pretty cool. He looks a lot thinner than everyone else, though.I was attempting to make him look Noticably Taller then everyone else. Attention to detail and all that.
Hey Blade, you realize that absolutely NO ONE will get your new Avatar Text outside of the RPG, right? :P
Also, your sprites and Danielle's sprites are the only ones left to make. I could do them if necessary.I can't sprite worth a shit, so go ahead. and do that.

Mikheal is taken aback by the shitty sword that Troy was just speaking so highly of.
"Looking at this thing makes me think its more of the ladder. How did you get that piece of crap?"
"No idea about you guys, but I'm gonna explore this ancient factory. If the going gets too tough I'll just start busting stuff up again."

Wait... so this is really bad, but it doesn't really affect us because both halves of TE were sent outside our current session?The sane half is in another session. The batshit crazy murderous half is on the Battlefield of 'our' session, and will probably leave that soon to one of the Lands to find greener pastures for mass murder.

Mimi squints as she realizes one of the fundamental problems here.
"You said your ancestors were forbidden from going inside the factories. Your ancestors, though, weren't fighting off starvation due to factory malfunctions. I think now, if ever, is the time for breaking tradition. Would you like me to take you inside one of the factories and show you how to get the fruit from it?"

"Hold on a minute, Emily. I think I can explain this better." Mimi stepped into the elder's hut's doorway and stared him in the eyes.
(http://i.imgur.com/rGChY.png)
"Village elder, my name is Mimi Manson, and though you may not know my story, I am the Seer of Space. When I first entered this realm, I did not know what that meant. My ignorance of my role has caused me to hinder my allies in reaching their own goals, when my true goal is to enact the opposite. If I do not explain this to you now, your village will likely starve."
Mimi pointed to sky outside the hut.
"You live in a galaxy governed by strict rules. These rules were built for your ancestors, and by all accounts, they benefited them. Factories did their duties, snakes lived peacefully in jungles, and all other aspects of life went on as they were supposed to. Had not other beings - some gods, you may say - decided to interfere with this galaxy, these rules would have continued to provide you a peaceful life."
"However, there's has been a... what's the phrase..."
(http://i.imgur.com/ZW5pz.png)
"I have seen it with my own eyes. Malicious entities have swarmed into this world and others like it, starting a sort of makeshift Armageddon. Even the - I call them "intruders" - who have good intentions have upset the vital balance of your realm which would have normally lead your world to prosperity and my allies to victory. They work against each other with conflicting motives, preaching of failure when victory being negated is their own fault."
"I have had visions, fleeting as they may be. Snakes lying dead on the burnt grass of a decimated jungle. Black-carapaced warriors executing innocent people and hunting others down. An all-powerful entity, hovering over a large sphere, preparing to destroy entire civilizations on a whim. These freak occurrences are my jurisdiction, but leading your people to salvation is yours."
Mimi stepped back inside. "Because the delicate order governing your realm and others has been disrupted by forces outside our control, the same rules which once brought you peace are now bringing you destruction. Due to the circumstances, your best option now is to fight these rules. And in the end, I think that's what the lesson here is. Breaking the mold and second-guessing the things you took for granted may be what's necessary for both your village and I to succeed."
this would be a convenient time for TB to appear
"...I THINK LOOKING FOR A SPOT WHERE WE CAN MOVE SOME OF THE SNAKES IS IN ORDER. THEY SAID THAT DIRECT SKAIA-LIGHT MAKES THE GROUND TOO HOT FOR THEM, DIDN'T THEY?""Yeah, something along those lines. But there's something of a probl- oh heck, someone on Pesterchum. One second."
"i agree that we should stop the deforestation, but i don't think we can take out that ringleader head honcho person out directly. let's just try and stay behind the scenes as much as possible for now. you know, like gorillas."
"For the record, A, I think he meant guerilla warfare, which is definitely an option, and B, it's probably not who you think it is. RA managed to confirm it wasn't the asshole you stabbed in the eye last time, so there's less worries about him declaring a blood oath or something stupid right now. As for taking him out, RA also recommended we try not to fight him. He actually recommended we talk with him to try and get him to stop, but I'm not quite sure how that all would work. But for now, I think we're best off figuring out exactly where the Dersites are working out of.""i agree that we should stop the deforestation, but i don't think we can take out that ringleader head honcho person out directly. let's just try and stay behind the scenes as much as possible for now. you know, like gorillas."
"WHAT DO APES HAVE TO DO WITH IT?" Alex said, confused. "IF WE CAN SOMEHOW FIND OUT WHO IT IS, WE MIGHT HAVE A BETTER IDEA OF WHETHER OR NOT WE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT HIM. ON THE OTHER HAND, HE'S PROBABLY SOMEWHERE VERY SAFE. I DON'T KNOW HOW COMFORTABLE I FEEL ABOUT GOING AFTER HIM. EVEN IF IT IS WHO I THINK IT MIGHT BE."

"So who wants to come? Does anyone wanna get anyth!ng to br!ng w!th them before leav!ng? Because !f not, then we're all set."
Before they head off, Mimi asks the elder one last question.
"Do you know how to get to the closest factory? We have only come across a couple in our travels, and I find it likely there's one closer to the village that's not in ruin."
Whoops.
"And if we cannot find fruit there during our journey, is there another one further?"
"DID WE EVER FIND OUT WHAT THE DERSITES ARE DOING THIS TO THE TREES FOR? THERE MUST BE A REASON. IF THEY JUST WANTED TO CAUSE ENVIRONMENTAL DEVASTATION, THEY'D JUST CLEAR-CUT, WOULDN'T THEY?""It was sap they were looking for, I think.... I'd just rather not let them keep ruining shit like this. But if you guys really want to avoid them, I guess I'd be okay with that as long as we can find time to stop them later."
"IF WE WANT TO AVOID THEM, WE SHOULD PROBABLY STICK TO AREAS THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN HIT. ALL THESE DEAD TREES ARE WORTHLESS TO DERSE, SO THEY WON'T BE HERE... RIGHT?"

Head west!

RL: ONWARD
You boldly resolve to go where no player has gone before! Now, what direction would that be?
Mimi raises her pointer finger. "Uh... I'll be back after I check on something. This one wasn't working earlier." Of course, Mimi didn't know whether or not that would prevent the salamanders from getting long-term food from it.
>Mimi: Check inside to see if anything's been fixed by now.

RL: ONWARD

You and the group begin trudging Northeast. More to follow, I gotta go out.
Mimi pops out of the factory, a dumbfounded expression on her face. "Um..."
She points inside the factory. "Could a few volunteers follow me in here? Not all of you have to come in at once if you're scared or something. I totally understand."
"There can even be two groups !f you l!ke; you can go !n w!th your fr!ends and stay away from those you don't wanna be around, !f that's what's keep!ng any of you from enter!ng, anyway."
Steve ran at the boulder, trying to jump on top to get a better view. He'd crouch down to avoid being seen while looking around. He knew there was nothing he could do for the poor smoldering man.

Mimi turns around and notices the salamanders digging into the food pile.
"Wait, those aren't for eating! You're suppose to climb on top to reach the fruits on the trees!" She thinks for a moment. "Although, now that I think about it, that is a lot faster way of getting delicious food than straining to reach a tree limb."

The Dersites are the ones with sword icons, right? Just making sure. Also, are these agents (kind of like Jack and the others, but not limited to the other guys) or regular carapacians (like WV and co.)? Can our characters even tell the difference? Sorry for all the questions.

"Uh... wa!t. M!m!... the alchemy equ!pment was !n my house. I... th!nk we're screwed for now.

>Mikheal: Redraw because since Troys doing it, you may as well do it with him.
Spoiler: TBlog (click to show/hide)
>Mimi and Emily: Head back tovillagefactory
"Well, I'll probably head back to the elder to update him on the non-progress. Then we'll head to the factory."
"Yes. The factories house no easily-accessible utilities for the villagers to climb and get to the fruit. Normally, we would create some, but we've been... ah... 'locked out' from our creation devices. We may, unfortunately, have to head to spiral gate and come back as soon as we can."
>Mikheal: Head towards the gate and get on with it already!
Sorry. How does the ATH~ Manual work? I dont have the books infront of me at the moment and getting them will be awful difficult.No regrets.
But otherwise
>Troy: Dote on Mikheal as he travels gateward. Make a nurse hat
"Before we leave, have you seen one of these spiral gates - a portal like this -" Mimi does her best impression of a spirograph in the air. She then realizes it's impossible to do a good impression of a spirograph. "-around here anywhere? We cannot leave without it."
>Mimi and Emily: Head back towards the abandoned factory.
>Mikheal: Ignore Troy's Fussing and jump straight in.
>Fuss Mikheal through the portal before hopping on through

"Well, this is a little dissapointing." Mikheal remarks at seeming lack of anything. Mikheal puts one foot on a nearby rock leans forward and takes a look around, "Is there anything here?"
>Mikheal: Is there anything of interest here?
>Mimi: Just keep walkin'!
"My feet hurt. I've been walking all day, or all week. I have no idea how long we've been in here."
"Oh, so you talk. Really, I should have expected that after the talking birds." Mikheal says, "Do you know of anything interesting nearby?"

Do I need a stealth roll?

I'll use Guidance from Beyond with Alex, and I'll take a swing at the Dersite with +2 damage if I hit.

Mikheal:
"I would perfer one of those Spirograph gate thingies, but really any kind of civilization would."
Okay, I'll just not do anything because dang I can't reach
I'll use Sinister Irony in a burst in front of Steve and shift back a space so he can't hit me.

Yes, I'll still do this. It's better than not using a power in an encounter.
"me and a unhappy agent have been w00rking t00wards regicide." He said to Mikheal, "he's asking ab00ut a bl00nde dame"
"me and a unhappy agent have been w00rking t00wards regicide." He said to Mikheal, "he's asking ab00ut a bl00nde dame"
"Regicide?" Mikhael asked. Since he still didn't know much about game due to be cut off from his teammates (And being knocked out or incapacitated for most of the game), he still did not fully understand much about the queens or Kings, or the main quest, "Why would you go and do that?"
>Mikhael: Follow the Goat-person across the bridgeas it breaks under the weight of your armor causing you to fall into an endless abyss, never to be seen again.
"00kay." Then once Mikheal walked away "d00 it." And once he was done potentially damning someone he went to get a better look at the scenery
Danielle: Hit the ogre upside the head.
Standard attack.
[5,5] + whatever, let's just brutal affront this shit. Remember, if anyone missed a brutal affront earlier this encounter (which I can't tell if Alex did because I don't see the rolls for him) then it auto-confirms.

Time-Hop backwards and figure out the RIGHT BRIDGE. And then follow the right one. Hopefully.
Shenanigans CANT STOP ME. MORE BRIDGES.
"Well. is there anything else besides the gate thing?"
"S00unds interesting. Lets g00."
>Steve: Charge!
[9,8+13] = 30
I missed the Dersite. :P
I'll attack the Dersite instead.
[2,2] = DOUBLES!! Care to confirm?
>Mikheal: Troy should be here by now. What could be taking him so long? This place isn't TOO far away, is it?
>Mikheal: Well, if he isn't coming, you may as well get on with your quest without him. You are sure he'll catch up. Eventually.
RL: Move NW 3, W1, then HIT ZE DERSITE
[6,4]+12-1=21.

Ask around as to whats the history of this place
>Emily: Wake up. Sorta.
Emily gets up. "Ow." She rubs the back of her head, wondering where the pain could have come from. Probably nothing, she supposes. "Oh. I'm... asleep? The hell?" She gets up, takes a look around, and realizes she's not in her bed. She doesn't remember walking down this particular road recently, but maybe she forgot? Last time she woke up from sleep, it was kinda abrupt... she's not too far from her Derse home. She figures she was walking back but was woken up by whatever before she had time to get there.
>Steve: Shift right and attack the basilisk.
[9,3+11] = 23
CC: Oh look, people moving on Derse. Let's go say hi.
>Steve: Stand Up
I missed the part about being prone. The words 'get up' just didn't click in my head.

I would like to reroll my entire hand, please.
I would like to collect The Return, and then reroll everything except the Emerald Contraband. Still savin' it for alchemy later.
RL: Go tie the Dersite to a tree. Prepare the information extraction method.
CC: Go surfing. Except instead of a board, you have a battleship full of terrified Dersites, and instead of water you have a little bit of breeze you stashed away.
CA: What are you even up to? Haven't you found a gate yet?
Look, it's hot and travel is hard, okay? You did find a gate though, so you jump through it and land floating several miles above... geez, you don't even know whose house this is. Might as well go see.
gog dammit.I would like to collect The Return, and then reroll everything except the Emerald Contraband. Still savin' it for alchemy later.
You re-draw Halberd's bite, as well as a portable computer.
Which Gate did he even go through? The selection has too many locations and places.I was kind of going to leave that up to you so I don't mess up too much of the weird plot shit with my zillion trolls.

RL: SWEARTECH LEVEL 83: THE PROFANITY, IT BURNS
CA: Hear someone swearing like there's no tomorrow. Fly in that general direction.
CC: Ignore the obviously insane spacebitch.
Plan: Once you're out of Derse's sniper range, use the fuel and OFF TO SKAIA YOU GO, YAR HAR.
Reality: End up crashlanding on Derse because you're a shitty driver. Blame TE.
The Dersite does not stir from his place on the tree. Alex, on the other hand, speaks up from his reclining position on the once-forest floor. "I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT A FEW OF THOSE WORDS.""Well you do now."
>Mimi & Co: Enter factory. Look around.
RL: Dig in the sylladex for something to wake the Dersite up. Find your matches.
CA: Continue flying towards the swearing. Overshoot and get lost as a form of running gag.
CC: Well, going down means getting sniped, so.. looks like you're flying up.
Is it wrong that I find it very likely that Mikhael is about to invoke this trope (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FunbagAirbag)?
Mikhael: Get the drop on this intruder.
"If you're right, TB, this'll take us to Derse like you said. Feel free to follow along, but I'm going with or without."
>Mimi: Step on the purple panel like the agent did in your vision.
RL: Punch the Dersite to wake him up instead of using the matches. You want to minimize lighting yourself on fire this time.
CA: Tell BT to piss off.
CC: Jump to the Land. There is absolutely no way this can go wrong.
Mikhael: Get the drop on this intruder.Stealth Check!

"i'M goInG To bE ovEr THeRe." Steve pointed in a random direction and started walking. He didn't want any closer to the bleeding agent, just in case his stomach can't take it. It was bad enough that he had to fight them.

>Mikhael: TACKLETECH: -INSERT SNAPPY TAGLINE HERE-

RL: Accidentally do the Blood-y thing before your victim dies.
CC: Commandeer the vessel. Have them take you to land and/or a gate, you aren't really picky; just too lazy to fly around on your own any more.
>Emily: Wait, what?>
It appears you've been tackled to the ground by some guy. What will you do?
CA: ^^P3rsonal r3asons. I'll be staying th3 h3ll away from what's-h3r-fac3, if that's what you'r3 asking.^^
RL: Let Alex do the medical thing. INTERROGATION if the Dersite looks moderately healthy enough.
CC: Knock the Prospitans off the boat and then use it as a wind-propelled surfboard. Go looking for a Gate.
Prince of Mind: Satisfy Theros's needs to post three characters' actions per post. Go around slaughtering everything.
You would totally do that, but you've been fighting this time-traveling asshole for like half an hour now. He's held up surprisingly well, and even managed to give you a few bruises. Gotta give the guy some props, he's a decent fighter. But you really think you have better things to do than whale on some decked-out time shrink, so you chuck an improvised boomerang behind him and book it while he checks his backside to make sure it isn't returning. Now, to find a way off the Battlefield before he wisens up and starts chasing you...
"any Idea where t00 find her?"
RL: Sulk.
CA: "^^No. Piss off.^^"
CC: do some RAD TRICKS YO
TE-Prince: Snag a ship outta there. MIND-BREAK anyone who gets in the way. Aim for... eh, just anywhere but here.
RL: "I didn't even know we could carry vitality gel. I thought it was just a thing we poked that refilled the good ol' life meters."
CA: GENITAL KICK
TE-Prince: GTFO
>Mimi: Ask TB to take Emily back to her planet. Punitch DA so muchmany times.
"Lousy!?" Mimi drops her rapier and starts pounding on him with her bare hands. "I've taken down basilisks! Ogres! Whosawhatsits! You're just a puny Dersite!"
>Mimi: Keep doing this because your 8 Mangrit is obviously enough to harm him through his carapace.
"'Tress, Em!ly 'Tress." She looks in another direction, realizing she just unintentionally gave a cheesy-sounding name introduction. "So uh... what're you do!n' here?" She remembers how much she sucks at starting conversation with people. Goddammit.
RL: "Hmm. I'm gonna go scout around the battlefield and see if anything dropped vitality gel that we missed, then."
CA: Walk in the direction BLUH BLUH HUGE ARMOR came from. You'd bet there's probably some folks that way.
TE-Prince: Land gracefully, thank the Prospitans by blowing a hole in their ship anyways.
Mimi makes a confused face and hops from side to side a couple times with her fists clenched and raised around her head.
"Okay, I can do this. Fist forward, turn, pull back, like the martial arts training videos. EEEE-"
>Mimi: Be the crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Time hop to watch Echidna furrow the land, Follow her to the Palace

"Okay, I probably shouldn't draw this out because someone might notice." Mimi picks up her rapier again. "I hope this heals up soon. And I don't normally say that to shady-looking, one-color carapace people."

CA: GOD-TIER PIMPSLAP.
TE-Prince: Figure out where you are and where the closest potential for mass murder is.
>Mimi: Head back through the portal.
Not to be rude, but:It's a dream room like yours. Just as spartan, just as purple. The real strange factor is the fact that Brian isn't here. You think you can see some stuff under the bed, but you can't tell what it is from here.>Mikhael: Investigate room.
Blade, I was talking about what was in the room, not what it was. The Dream room is suppost to be a carbon copy of the Players real room.that sounds like something I should do, but it's in-game so it should be Blade, but I know what's... hmm.
>Mimi: Head back through the portal.
Also by extension TB/TE I guess since Theros can't control all of the puppets all of the time.
CA: LEVEL 2 SWEARTECH: BABY SCREAMING IN PAIN
You immediately regret not leveling up your Sweartech tree, as this situation would totally justify some higher-level swearing. You just yell incoherently at your stinging horn instead.
Someone: Hear CA yelling. (Was going to have it be RL, but I'd rather let someone else participate in my incredibly silly puppet shenanigans.)
TE: Don't follow through the portal.
Yeah, you're not going to go back yet. You've just sort of got a feeling that you need to talk to somebody here. You take off without really noticing, flying in the general direction of Derse's moon.
TB: Hey, where'd TE go?
Well, your Page is lost, your Mind is wracked. Not really, you figure he must've got the scent of other-him, the windy bitch he was whining about, or something else. You don't really know what's up, but you figure you can always run the tracker again if you need to find him, since you know that it works now. You jump through the portal, since you don't particularly want to lose your one excuse to be running around in the session.

CA: Keep screaming. At least he's not trying to kill you now.
Evil TE: Try to find something more sentient to kill. These frogs don't seem to be giving a rat's ass that you're mass-murdering them, and that's no fun.
CC: Typhoon up in this shit.
Yeah, you're bored. Might as well get some amusement out of your mode of transport. You use the wind to whip up a typhoon, which you then use to launch yourself in a random direction, where you proceed to make yet another typhoon and repeat the process. You play this game of typhoon pinball for a while until you eventually get going fast enough to launch yourself into planetary orbit. Whoops. At least you should be able to see gates from here.
RL: "You guys go ahead. I'm going to try to fix this bullshit excuse for an inventory system, and keep an eye on.... that." She gestures to the Dersite.
"don't see why not. it might be one of those snakes getting bullied, or some kind of mystery helper from prospit. it's worth at least a quick peek."
Steve looks around to see that Alex and Claire are walking away. He must have not been paying attention. How un-ninja-like.
"whAt? W-wAiT foR me!"
>Steve: Try to catch up.
"Man, I am so bored." Mimi kicks the ground at some point during their long walk. "I wonder what Alex's gang is doing? I wonder if my powers have to cool down like a spell in an MMORPG? I wonder how often they even work?"
[Title Power: 2+2+10] (yes, Brutal Affront confirmation please)
>Mikhael, Emily, and TE: Realize one of you will eventually need to talk. Or find something kinky, anyway."...Uh... hhh!?" she says, quickly, glancing back and forth from Mikheal to TE.
CA: NOPE. PUNCH HIM IN THE KNEE.

"Derse is making their move. Might be time to rally our own troops."
>Mimi: Find a civilian building. Seek civilians.
>Mimi: Fly down, approach one and lay a hand on its shoulder.
"Do not be afraid of me. I am here to help you."
"First of all, you have been given incorrect information, and for that I apologize. I do not know of the Heir's desires, but you are free to gaze upon, talk to and approach the other three of us." Mimi then look around. "Secondly, do you know where I might find the Queen?"
>Mikhael: "Great, who the hell are you?"I was presuming this bit would be done through pesterchum.
Steve averted his eyes in an attempt to not see BT tearing off the head of CA, but it was too late. He fought back the urge to vomit.

>Steve: Try and convince BT to be more helpful.
Sorry, for some retarded reason my Pesterchum only works on one of my accounts. I'll try and move more of my stuff over to my other account so I can do pesterchum more often.
"Yes. Spread the word as best you can. After all, we will likely be assisting each other in a fight against the Dersites in coming days."
>Mimi: Find and follow the red carpet.
TB: Well your accomplice just passed out. Looks like you're stuck carrying not one, but two unconscious girls. Whoopee doo, let's keep moving toward the gate.
CC: Jump through ALL THE GATES. Nah, actually, just go through like the third one or something. You don't really care.
RL: Get tired of attempting to fix your busted inventory system. Take a nap in the pile of random crap instead.
"ThEN whAT iS he DoING? i mEAn, whAt haVe We doNE to gEt EvERyonE aFtEr us?"
Mimi looked around. This was the first time she'd talked to the Prospitian royalty, wasn't it? Yeesh. Were they as sinister and intimidating as the Derse royalty? She hoped not.
>Mimi: Continue into the castle.
"Uh..."
>Mimi: Hold down fears and approach the Queen.
Mimi gulps. "Hello, Your Majesty. I come bearing information."

Steve stared at the purple gore. It was so much more worse than he'd expected, forcing him to turn and gasp for air to calm his stomach. He had no idea what to say to the towering mass of bloody armor that just arrived. All he knew was that he was becoming more and more terrifying with each visit.

"Now that that's over with..." Mimi gulped. She couldn't look at BT's body. Why did this bother her so badly? "I'd love to keep adventuring with you guys, but I actually kind of have to go back to my Land. I now understand that solving each Land's problems is part of our purpose here. Danielle: I don't know what you need to do on LoSaJ, but I'm guessing only you can do it. Anyone that wants to travel with me back to LoBaC is free to do so."
"WHAT, NO! WE SHOULD STICK TOGETHER, AT LEAST FOR NOW! MAYBE OTHER LANDS WILL BE DIFFERENT, BUT THE PROBLEM HERE IS DERSE. IF WE TAKE OUT THE COMMANDER HERE, IT'LL AT LEAST HAVE A REPRIEVE, IF NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM ENTIRELY. CAN IT... JUST WAIT A LITTLE LONGER? PLEASE? I'M SURE WE CAN STOP WHOEVER IS IN CHARGE HERE. WE'RE GETTING STRONGER ALL THE TIME. WE CAN FIGHT THEM."

Wait no, it was Mimi's house. I got confused because Mikhael met Troy there. Never the less, I'm absolutely sure he went to sleep in someone's house.
>Mikheal: Well, if he isn't coming, you may as well get on with your quest without him. You are sure he'll catch up. Eventually.
You figure that you don't have until the cows come home to wait for Troy to catch up. Or something. You've gotten this far by yourself, mostly, you can keep going without him. Ignoring the constant that is pain, you leap through the gate.
And wind up back in the house you started in. You start to yell in frustration, but then your lungs hurt. Maybe you should take a nap or something.

Wait, what? I thought the previous points I had put into it didn't count.

(No, see, you have to use ALL your previous traits if you're using upgrade. As in, you're making the exact same weapon at the same cost, but with -0.5 because it's an upgrade.)
It will be legal, but it will also be a Rare card. Is that okay?
>Welp. Expl00re.
>Yes.>Welp. Expl00re.
Where do you wish to go? Do you plan to meet up with the group?
>Mimi: Peek inside and see how the fire's progressing.
>Mikhael: Time to get out of this place, its not like there's much else interesting here. Continue flying in a random direction on your hoverbike.
Alex speaks up. "I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD GO SOMEWHERE ELSE NOW. IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE SO LONG BEFORE THEY REALIZE THEY AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT THIS OUT, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SLOWING DOWN."
CA: IMPACT?
RL: OH GOD THIS WAS A BAD PLAN WHY DID YOU THINK FIRE WAS A GOOD IDEA
CC: Bust out the marshmallows.
Alex speaks up. "I THINK MAYBE WE SHOULD GO SOMEWHERE ELSE NOW. IT'S ONLY GOING TO BE SO LONG BEFORE THEY REALIZE THEY AREN'T GOING TO BE ABLE TO PUT THIS OUT, AND IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE SLOWING DOWN."
"All the more reason to go inside and capture Diamonds while we can. While I can." Mimi looked back at Alex. "Don't try to stop me. Anyone who wants to help can, but this is something I have to do."
>Mimi: Head toward the most regal of tents you saw earlier, for real this time. Stay stealthy.
How many Stealth checks do I need?
>Yes.>Welp. Expl00re.
Where do you wish to go? Do you plan to meet up with the group?
>Mikhael: Time to get out of this place, its not like there's much else interesting here. Continue flying in a random direction on your hoverbike.Please choose a direction.
>Mikhael: Flip a coin. Heads for north, tails for south.
[6,10]+14=30
You try to use North and South as reference points, but you can't because there aren't magnetic poles on this planet, apparently. Whatever. You arbitrarily fly away from the house. You don't spot anything of interest for awhile, since all the islands look more or less alike after size and tree count. That is, until you find one covered in what appears to be an assortment of random detritus. Weird.
((Oh man, Troy finally meets his bros.))
>Mimi: Head through the pathway and into the place. Stealthily.
...[10,10+7] :I
((If this wasn't HSRPG that would be a rare NAT TWENTY. So I guess BRUTAL AFFRONT CONFIRM.))
When there is smoke, there is fire, where there is fire there is chaos, where there's chaos there's PLAYERS. THAT WAY HOO!
>Mikhael: INVESTIGATE.
>Mikhael: Open the door and hope you dont find more retarded computers.
>Mikhael: Screw your helmet on a little tighter in a vain attempt to stamp out the smell and continue.
"Oh, you're KIDDING me. You are KIDDING ME. He's gone. Hold on...."
>Try this one last time. Scry for Diamonds.
[3,7+11?=21]

"Out, out, out! Visions failing! Follow me!"
>Mimi: Dash after the escort group.
The Mage sprints after the Seer. "WAIT! THE GROUP IS BACK THE OTHER WAY!"
"What group? You guys? I already said who I was going after."
>Chug along
>Mikhael: The smrt-est idea here would be to approach the pedestal, of course.
Typo Intentional. :P
"Yeah, I can do that. I'll just let you guys know as soon as I catch up to diamonds."
>Mimi: Run after Diamonds' escort.
"Yeah, I can do that. I'll just let you guys know as soon as I catch up to diamonds."
>Mimi: Run after Diamonds' escort.
"SHOULDN'T WE DO IT SOONER SO THEY CAN BACK US UP?" Alex kept pace behind Mimi, but the group soon ran into another wall of flame. "THERE HAS GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY TO DO THIS THAN JUST WAITING FOR THE FIRE TO DIE DOWN, DON'T YOU THINK?"
>Mikhael: The smrt-est idea here would be to approach the pedestal, of course.
Typo Intentional. :P
Battlemap forthcoming. Go ahead and roll initiative.

3 + 10 + 9 = 22.
Time to fall unconscious again. :P
Alex snaps out of his reverie. "...UH, STEVE? DID YOU SEE WHERE MIMI WENT? I WAS THINKING ABOUT STUFF AND I SPACED OUT AND JUNK."
"...STEVE?"
>Mikhael: Mount Jetbike and fly 8 spaces west. Proceed to fire at Imp 1.
Oh. Wait. I thought that Lich was a Imp for some reason.
Shoot at Lich 1 then.
"Hey, guys! Over here!" Mimi's voice calls out through the flames, but she's still a bit away from Steve and Alex.
Mikhael: Move 7 East, 1 North, and then Defend.
Saving Throw:
9 + 9 + 17(Fort Bonus) = 35
Yes.Mikhael: Move 7 East, 1 North, and then Defend.
Saving Throw:
9 + 9 + 17(Fort Bonus) = 35
To clarify, you are taking a total defense action, correct?
CC: Continue booking it in the most rapid of fashions.
CA: AERIAL SEARCH
TB, TE: Follow Mimi
RL: Stay where you are in case of Diamonds looping around and trying to catch you by SURPRISE.
Edit: Actually, unless I missed something, none of these enemies should be able to use ranged attacks on me this turn. I am out of range for all of them.
>Mikhael: Use Second Wind and total defense again.
TB, TE: Follow Mimi
RL: Stay where you are in case of Diamonds looping around and trying to catch you by SURPRISE.
>Mimi: Attempt to jump through the fire toward the others.
Edit: Actually, unless I missed something, none of these enemies should be able to use ranged attacks on me this turn. I am out of range for all of them.
The basilisks have an at will with a range of fifteen, and the liches can always get closer. You are by no means safe.

This is assuming that attacks through the black haze are impossible, but even then, the second example and the Basilisks from the other turns had no right to shoot to be able to shoot at be unless something that I am unaware of changed.
The black haze is a pit.
The black haze is a pit.
I realize, but judging attack range in large areas composed of indistinguishable black squares is pretty hard.
[Title power: 8,10+11? 29!]
I sure do love my Classpect power.
Okay then. Sounds fair.The black haze is a pit.
I realize, but judging attack range in large areas composed of indistinguishable black squares is pretty hard.
Why should it be? Attack range, like movement, can be counted diagonally. More importantly, each row of squares will have the same number, no matter how many columns they are apart.
It looks like you are correct about one of the liches attacks, however. Next time one manages to recharge that ability, it will expend it and auto-miss.
>Mikhael: First, leave the place. It really fucking stinks down here. Once your out, rest up. Then it will be time to figure out how to deal with this scenario.
>Mimi & pals: Head through the new path toward Alex.
>Mimi & pals: Head through the new path toward Alex.
You lead the rest of your group (well, most of them) back to where you left Alex and Steve. They're just standing around. Alex waves to the oncoming throng. "HEY. WHERE'S DANIELLE?"
>Mikhael: Return back into the Cavern. Maybe there is another way around this encounter.
>PA: Wave fer00ciously at Alex and Steve
CA: WHAT A LOAD OF BULLSHIT
CC: Continue traveling in a linear fashion.
> Claire: Follow Danielle to the other party. (if that is actually what Theros means by "stop making it impossible to keep the party in one place" I'm not sure)
"OKAY, WE SHOULD GET BACK TO DANIELLE.... AND ALSO CLAIRE? IS SHE BACK WITH DANIELLE?"
>Mikhael: Seeing as you can't pass the blockade and there's way your leaving without your jetbike (Your pretty athletic, but even you don't think you would be able to swim away from this island without drowning.), you may as well explore the surface of the Island your on.
"OKAY, WE SHOULD GET BACK TO DANIELLE.... AND ALSO CLAIRE? IS SHE BACK WITH DANIELLE?"
"Looks like it." Mimi kicked the ground and ash rose into the air. "But all this running around is wasting time, so once we're fully regrouped, we really ought to find something else to do."
RL: Attempt to cause things to stop being on fire. Except this time, use a fire extinguisher or something instead of making the ground bleed.
CA: Attempt landing. Get hit into the sky by exploding debris instead.
CC: Well so much for that. Go to one of the other Lands and see what hallucinations you run in to.
"WELL, WHO ELSE'S LAND IS HAVING PROBLEMS?" Alex asked, as the group continued back toward Danielle and Claire. "I DON'T THINK THAT TORTOISE ON CLAIRE'S PLANET SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TERRIBLE PROBLEMS ON HER PLANET, AND MY JELLY-PEOPLE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME."
It occurs to you that if you changed out of your platemail, you'd most likely be able to swim from island to island.
"WELL, WHO ELSE'S LAND IS HAVING PROBLEMS?" Alex asked, as the group continued back toward Danielle and Claire. "I DON'T THINK THAT TORTOISE ON CLAIRE'S PLANET SAID ANYTHING ABOUT TERRIBLE PROBLEMS ON HER PLANET, AND MY JELLY-PEOPLE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TO ME."
Mimi facepalmed. "That's because everyone's Land is having problems, but you have to figure out what they are first. It's part of the game. Claire's Land is being genocided by an immensely powerful demigod, this Land is devoid of its lifeblood and Emily's Land's consorts are starving. Even on my Land, I need to visit someone - alone, they were specific - and get to a technological artifact."

CC: SO MUCH GREEN ARGH. Just pick one of the green ones at random and go pay it a visit.
CA: OH HAI GUISE.
RL: Reunite with the gang.
Even if they are close, I think its kinda implausible for Mikhael to keep swimming from Island to Island and get anywhere without tiring fairly quickly.
>Mikhael: Draw a new hand. Hope for Jetbike again.
"...ARE WE GOING TO HAVE TO SPLIT UP? I REALLY DON'T WANT TO SPLIT UP, YOU GUYS."

"Well, tell you what. I'm gonna head back to my house for now, but I'm gonna make something that will make it easier to keep in touch."
>Mimi: Manage to avoid peer pressure. Attempt to See location of the gate back to your world.
[Roll: 28] (http://invisiblecastle.com/roller/view/3807338/)
"WE CAN USE OTHER ALCHEMY SETS THAN OUR OWN, RIGHT? WE SHOULD ALL HEAD BACK TO DANIELLE'S HOUSE. I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT I JUST CHECKED MY GRIST CACHE AND MY NUMBERS ARE CRAZY HIGH. AND I REALLY DON'T WANT TO FORGET TO MAKE A PORTABLE MESSAGING THINGY AGAIN."
>Mikhael: What was the direction you were going in when you got here? Yeah, keep going that way.
"AAAAAAAAND- THIS!" Alex holds up a DBZ scouter. "ONE OF MY BROTHERS CARTOONS HAD NEAT LOOKING COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES ON THE PEOPLE ON THE BOX. IT ALSO PUTS UP WEIRD SYMBOLS WHEN I LOOK AT SOMEONE, NO IDEA WHY."
"AAAAAAAAND- THIS!" Alex holds up a DBZ scouter. "ONE OF MY BROTHERS CARTOONS HAD NEAT LOOKING COMMUNICATIONS DEVICES ON THE PEOPLE ON THE BOX. IT ALSO PUTS UP WEIRD SYMBOLS WHEN I LOOK AT SOMEONE, NO IDEA WHY."

Mimi hoped Alex would get the reference.
Don't you need your Defensive Power for your first Suit?

Armor cards do not necessarily grant a Power, and the Powers they do grant have a wider variety of uses. However, they are always Encounter usage powers.

If you're going to rules lawyer a game you have no intention of playing - in the game's in character thread, rather than the OOC thread - then it might be worthwhile to actually read the ruleset we're using. It took me 10 seconds to find this with ctrl+F.Quote from: Quoth: Homestuck RPG 1.2, Armor Power sectionArmor cards do not necessarily grant a Power, and the Powers they do grant have a wider variety of uses. However, they are always Encounter usage powers.
I don't know what it said in the 1.1 doc, but I have an old downloaded version of the 1.2 doc and the latest rev on Google Docs, and it's been this way a while now.
Much like weapon cards, defensive alchemy is composed of two parts. One part is a broad Collectible benefit that is gained from collecting the item and wearing it regardless of it’s presence in your Sylladex hand, the other is a Power that can be used only as a card in your Sylladex hand.... The Power created by Defensive alchemy has no set template, as nearly every component is subject to change, however it will always be set to an ENCOUNTER usage.
